  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the Mark Simon Show on seventy tenor.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, all right, it's enough with the Knicks. Not kidding, kidding,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we love the Knicks. The parade is getting ready to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: take place. We don't know exactly when I was supposed
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to be ten to noon. I see the players are
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: coming into the parade area. The team is coming in.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: They're expecting a million people. Remember yesterday I said the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: figured more like two million. I'm here in three or
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: four million. Now, this is going to be crazy. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: then you had to line up ahead of time to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: be in the audience, to be on the sidelines of
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the parade. But apparently people started getting there at eleven
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: o'clock last night. By seven thirty this morning, it was
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: full a maximum number of people that can watch the parade,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and they go through you know, TSA type security, getting
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: screened and frisked, and so as of seven thirty this morning,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the parade crowd was totally full. There are all sorts
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of other people down. I don't know what they're gonna do.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have to watch it on their phone or something.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: The ceremony will then take place at noon, maybe eleven thirty.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It was I forget the original schedule. Maybe it was
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: originally eleven, now eleven thirty twelve. Well, we'll bring you
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the ceremony live and all the activity. The parade. There's
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: really nothing to hear. It's just a lot of waving.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: In fact, I don't know why you have to go
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: down there. Why would you want to be down there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You'll see it much better on television. You'll hear it
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: much better on radio. You know, you go down there,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you're going to be behind, you know, one hundred people
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: in front of you, and what are you going to see?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: The ticker tape looks great, but otherwise it's just a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: lot of waving, just people waving at you from a
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know, they say the float. You know, it's just
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a flatbed truck and a guy's waving at you. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it's you don't need to be there. You don't need
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to be there. Now, let's hope nothing goes wrong after
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the parade we saw we saw some violence and some
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: ugly rioting Saturday night. Now people will say, well, that
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: was midnight. This is going to be you know, eleven
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in the morning. Well, hopefully everything's okay. I see Steve
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Sharipa in the crowd there. Our friend Steve Sharippa marching
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: with the team. I guess that means he'll be on
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a float. City council speaker Julie Mennon is there. She'll
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: be on a float. A bunch of celebrities will be
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: on those floats waving.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: The police department has sent out ten thousand people. Apparently
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that's the biggest number of cops ever sent to patrol
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: an event, ten thousand. Hopefully they're ready for this. Unlike
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night, believe it or not, this is the first
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: parade the Knicks have ever had. Yeah, they won the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: championship in seventy three, but at the time city wasn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: doing so well financially and Mayor Lindsay decided it was
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: too expensive for the city to do a parade, so
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: instead they did a party. They just threw a big
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: party for the next So this will be the first
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Knicks parade ever. I've never seen anything like this sports wise,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: even when the Yankees would win the World Series, even
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: when was the first one back ninety six, was like
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the first one in years many years, and there was excitement,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: but not like this, and it was not so universal
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: all over the city never seen anything capture the whole city,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: any sports event like this, so it's going to be
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: absolutely amazing. The ratings were phenomenal. You know, the final
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: game's twenty four million people watching. Nothing until the Oscars
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: doesn't get twenty four million people, and was that was huge.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Everybody got this Knicks fever. So we'll be covering it
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: all day today and when the ceremony happens at City Hall,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we'll bring that to you live later today. Other big
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: news the Iran deal. Now this is very important because
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it gives the Trump haters on the right and on
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the left, and the Republican Trumpeters, the Democratic Trumpeters a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: chance to whine, which they enjoy. They like to whind.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: This is the worst deal. It's a complete surrender. This
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: is ever So nobody knows what's in the deal yet.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I know you've seen leaks of Axios printing what they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: say is the deal, Bloomberg printing what they say is
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that nobody knows. I'm hearing there's stuff in there that's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: much tougher than what you're reading. But it'll be Friday
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the signing, and if it's not a great deal. If
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it's not, remember this is not the end of things.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: This is just the next play in the game. There's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of plays in this game.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: This is still like a second down, third down. This
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: is not the final resolution of this. So if it stinks,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. It's only for sixty days and then
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they either go to a tougher deal or they get
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: bombed again. So again, this is not the final thing.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: This is not the final chapter. Don't worry about it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: so much. But it he gives the Trump haters something
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to do, which is great. You got to keep you
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: got to keep throwing them a bone, something to yell about.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Where where's I mean, whenever there's something to yell about?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Who shows up? When you need this guy? He's never
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: around when there's riots in Columbia, when there's anti Semitic
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: attacks all over the place, when there were riots all
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: over the city in twenty twenty, the guy who was hidden,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: he just left the city, fled and hid. When you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: don't need him, he's there. I'm talking about a course
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: about Chuck Schumer with the old man glasses now huffing
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and puffing. Everything Trump does is awful.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: They knew that the strait of horn moves was a
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: choke point, and Trump had no way, no way to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: get them to release that without giving in so much
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: on so many things to them. So we're in a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: national security disaster.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So this is what he enjoys doing this. And you
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: can get away with this if you go on CNN
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: or MSNBC or any of the network you can say
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: nonsense and they won't correct you. He know, if you
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: watch what was I watching this Moring Morning, Joe, they
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: had that wacko Dan Goldman, that crazy left wing Congress
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: when he was yelling and screaming about Trump went into
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: war with no plan. He had no plan. This is
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the single most planned war in the history of warfare. Literally,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: when the Iatola and all that took over forty seven
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: years ago, the Pentagon started planning war with Iran. How
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to do it, what to hit, what to evade, And
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: they've been working on the plan for forty seven years.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Every year the Pentagon goes over that plan and tweaks
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: it and updates it. So this plan has been worked
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: on for forty seven years. That's why when we launched
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the attack on Iran, we knew exactly what to hit.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: In two days, we basically had them disabled militarily. We
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: wiped out their air force, their army, everything, the Navy
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: all gone in a second. We killed the top fourteen
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: leaders in the first hour. We knew. It's just what
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: they do. It's the most planned war in history. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: now the reason these guys are getting really ornery right
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: now and really upset. The problem with this deal, the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: big problem that they're facing is oil is going to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: start flowing like crazy, and it's brought down the price
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of oil dramatically. You remember Trump said, as soon as
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we do this, oil will plunge. Well it's plunged. Remembers
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ten of barrel, seventy four dollars a barrel.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Now around the country you're seeing gas under four dollars,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: gases three sixty a gallon three seventy all over the country.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Not New York or California because they keep putting these
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: state taxes all over it, so you'll see the high price.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: But the rest of the country is seeing gas prices
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: way way down from a few weeks ago. Stock market's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: still at all time high. So that's why the Democrats
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: are so upset. They don't like this at all. Hey, oh,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the other big thing today is. The Obama Library is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: opening today, big opening ceremony now for a crazy left
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: wingers that you know, they don't care about sports. It'd
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: be something to them. This is their Nick's parade. The
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Obama Library is opening. Bill Clinton will be there, George W.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Bush will be there. Anybody that hates Trump, Joe Biden
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: will be there, Bruce Springsteen will be there. It will
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: be a Trump hatred festival. Celebrities and politicians. You know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of the new Democrats hate Obama, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the real left wings. Obama to them is like Ronald
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Reagan to them. So Bernie Sanders won't go there, a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: lot of them won't go. It's the opening is today.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: If you've seen if you haven't seen it, go look
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: at pictures of the Obama Library. It is considered, I mean,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it really is considered to be the single ugliest structure
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: ever built in America. Even the surrounding neighborhood. The neighbors
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: are all suing because it's such an iore and it's
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: just destroyed the neighbor It looks absolutely hideous and ridiculous.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: But the just glowing all over this. In fact, many
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: people are talking about the ABC News report this morning
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: on I guess it was Good Morning America. They did
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: a piece on the opening and it was a love
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: letter to Obama. They never mentioned how hideous and strange
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the building looks. They never mentioned that the cost overruns
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: are billions of dollars, just unbelievable wasted money. They never
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: mentioned that most of the contractors are screaming they haven't
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: got paid. None of this was mentioned on the ABC report. Instead,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: it was just a love letter. In fact, people were stunned.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: They know ABC is biased and slanted, but they couldn't
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: believe this report got on the air. It was just
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: a love letter to Obama and the library. In fact,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing now the Obama Library. It's going to save
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that thing and it's going to be their promotional piece
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: they use. Hey, the parade is about to get hurt.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Do we have Natalie No, Well, check on that. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: think about somewhere around now. We're checking with She's down
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: at the parade. So we'll get a live update. Hey,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: we'll get to Rex Human. He was sentenced yesterday, Rex Huerman,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: this big, hideous looking monster. The judge at one point
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: started crying. They had all the families, you know, talk
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: about what happened to their loved ones by, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: being killed by this monster. So we have her now.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: All right, Well we'll get to Rex Human. Let's check
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: in Withalie Migliori. Natalie, where are.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: You, hey?
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm on West Broadway and Warren Street right now,
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: which is a little bit further away from the parade route.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: But I'll tell you that didn't stop fans. They are
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: still out here.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: And can you get close to the parade?
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: No, it's really difficult. It's been difficult, especially you know, Mark.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: I'm out on the street every morning talking to people.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: So I started my morning talking to people who were
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: waiting in line to get into the parade, and the
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: people who I even were speaking to, they couldn't even
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: get into the parade. By eight o'clock. The pens had
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: already been filled, so it's tough to get anywhere close
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: to the parade. Anybody who's close to the parade is
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: maybe about a block off of it, so they're standing
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: in between buildings to those openings just to see if
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: they could see their players pass by.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was watching some TV stations this morning. They
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: were all yelling and screaming their reporters couldn't get into
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the parade route and they were unable to get near it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: So but how does the crowd look peaceful?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: We hope, well, the crowd.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Is streaming, moving through in most parts of the city
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: in Lower Manhattan. But it's peaceful. I mean, everybody's happy.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: I did ask people once we found out that people
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: weren't going to be able to get into the parade
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: how they felt. People were disappointed, but they said that
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: there's nothing like being with other Knicks fans and just
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: being able to celebrate this long awaited when that fans
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: have been waiting for since nineteen seventy three. So a
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: lot of people in high spirits and definitely the vibe
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: is more positive than negative.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: I would say, all.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Right, now, let me ask you technical questions. It looks
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: like they're going to get three million people down there.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Are there places to get something to eat? Are there?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: What if somebody needs to go to the restroom? What
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: do they do down there? It's goud be for hours, very.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: Limited bathroom access. Okay. A lot of restaurants along the
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: way are open or eateries. I'm standing in front of
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: a little coffee shop where a lot of Knicks fans
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: are and they're also I'm looking through the windows they're
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: sitting inside and they have their jerseys on. So people
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: who couldn't make it to the parade are definitely making
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: the best out of their time in the city. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: moving these people is difficult in a sense because it's
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: been a frozen stone from below Canal Street. So if
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: you wanted to get on a subway, if you wanted
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: to park your car, well, guess what, good luck, you
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: couldn't even drive down here after seven o'clock this morning,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: and you couldn't even get on a subway walk.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Wow, So hey, I hope you see a big, huge
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: police presence down there.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: There was a very yeah, very large police presence. It's
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: the largest police presence in any event's history in New
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: York City. Ten thousand cops on the ground, and I
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: can attest to that. I am seeing a lot of cops,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: you know, many in different places in a sense, a
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: heavy police presence in terms of the vehicles too. If
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: you're walking down West Broadway, there are cops go lore
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: down the street making sure that everybody keeps moving, the
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: cars and everything. So there definitely is a large police
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: presence here.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, And if there's all these buildings along the route,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: if you look up into all the windows or mostly offices,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: but I imagine a lot of people came to the office
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: to look out the window and watch the parade.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And funny enough, I was looking up a little
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: earlier today and some people there was a like a
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: balcony like on one of the buildings, and there were
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: a group of people hanging out on the balcony trying
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: to see the parade, certainly getting into their into their
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: buildings and making sure that they can that they could see.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: That's what a lot of people say. That's what they
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: do for these sick ortate parades.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: It happens not as big, but with the Liberty Parade
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: a couple of years ago and this year, that's probably
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: a golden ticket if you've got an office along the
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: parade route.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, great job, Natalie Migliori. Well we'll check
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: with you again later. Stay out of trouble and we'll
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: talk you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: Thank you, take care.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Uh And we have listeners all over the country. You
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: might be saying, what is it with the Knicks and
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: all this next? So wow, it means a lot to us.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal here. I imagine all over the country. Uh,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: people are following this very carefully. So where was Oh yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Rex Huerman, this big, grotesque monster, murderer, mass murderer, killer.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: So the victims families testified and it was so powerful
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and moving. Even the judge started crying. And then at
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: one time the judge and the judge really tore into
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: human before the sentencing, here's the judge.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Are you a little bit sorry for what you did
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to these poor innocent women? Eight women that is strangled to.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Death, at least eight that we know of.
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: Are you at least a little bit sorry for that?
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's just like a monster cold month. Yes, sir am,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: he did speak at one point, he didn't say much.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But this is Humorman. This is the serial killer monster.
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: There are no.
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: Words I can say.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Irrispose will War said Miss Ruler's death.
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: The words I would say.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Have no meaning.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: All Right, Yeah, he's a pretty smart guy. He's an architect,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: just an insane, lunatic killer. He's going to go to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: prison where they say the other prisoners will try to
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: beat the hell out of them and kill him. There's
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: another serial killer who's been in prison for years who
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: wrote to Hueman and they started corresponding back and forth
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: about forty letters back and forth. The other killer is
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: also a big, huge guy. He's like seven feet tall.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: And in one of the layers he wrote to human,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: don't think because you're a big guy, it's going to
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: keep you safe. He said, it's a numbers game in prison,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like twenty of them will come after you. I mean,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: scary stuff if you're if you're a human reading this.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And he also said, even though they're going to keep
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you in solitary, they'll make sure at some point the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: other prisoners getting near you. So so he's been sentenced.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It's three life sentences. Anyway, let's get off that topic
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: too gloomy. Let's get back to happy stuff. The Parade
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: of Champions, the Knicks Parade will be covering it live
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: all day to day, and we'll take some calls. Next
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the number eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Live from the Door Life Back Studios, Bill Mark, some
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: own show.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Randall in Maryland. Randal,

• 17:04
  Speaker 2: you're there. We lost him, Hey, Randall, call us back.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that. Let's go to Larry in Cranford. Larry,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Hey? Mark? Hi? You know the parade should end with
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Brunson on the last flow dressed as Santa Claus.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, exactly?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I guess I don't know. He is such
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: a superstar. He was a Yankee stadium last night. Everybody
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: was like all over him. And the guy is a
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: massive story. You're going to see him endorsing everything, making
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: a fortune doing ad. So let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark, that's Mike. I think it's great that
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: the city's honoring the Knicks. It's my third championship in
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: my lifetime I've gotten to see. But I do think
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: it's the cynic in me. It brings up the cynic
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: in me because Mom, Donnie and his administration are very
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: pro working class, that's all they ever talk about. Yet
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: they've made it impossible for all millions of workers to
• 18:04
  Speaker 12: get to work today. And the only.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Thing you can't you can't they can't blame.
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: And the rich.
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: You're going to be the ones who can be really,
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: you know, all those poor people who can't get on
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: the floats with the rich coat folks. It's good, So
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: it is. There is a little bit of irony at least.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's any parade. That's that's for any parade. You
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: can't blame mom Donny for I also remember everybody that
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: works on those office buildings and broad it was told
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: they have to work from home today. So they're not
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: too upset. They're kind of like that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 12: It's all the it's all the postbobs trying to get
• 18:33
  Speaker 12: to Brooklyn on the on the on the FDR, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: but it's great.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: They'd be very happy to call up work and say
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I can't get there. Sorry, you have to work from all.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Don't worry you, that'll be fine. Thanks for calling. All right,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: here's Randall from Maryland. Randall, how you doing.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Good?
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: Mark Mark's disagreement that was just signed by Trump?
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, who signs on the other side of it?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: The leader what's his name? I can't remember his name,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: but there's an Iranian leader that will sign it. Was
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: that so hard to figure out? Well, you can look
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: it up. It's easy to google. I would tell you
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: his name, but I can't remember it. But there's there's
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: an Iranian leader in charge. He will sign it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: I feel better, Okay, Yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: No, everybody at the West Agreement. It's just the temporary thing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: It's just it's like a fourth inning thing. It's don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: worry about it. There's a lot more that'll play out here.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: End of a year of Mark? I saw very sadly.

  Speaker 11: Shallatte died. Yeah, they already buried him in a Jewish
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: cemetery in Cedar Holes, New Jersey, which I know, well,
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: there's not many left Mark. I was watching To Tell
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: the Truth the other day with Gary Moore. I know
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: I need a Gilette is still around. She's eighty nine.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: For those years, those you under eighty five years old,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Anita Jillette was a popular actress and singer that was
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: on every game show talk show in the sixties and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: she still.
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: I see Claudeen what Launay died too, Mark, remember.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: And those of you under eighty. She was married to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Andy Williams. She was a French singer. Who what was
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the deal? She shot her?
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: She was going, yeah, Spider Savage. Spider Savage was that
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: his name?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: She was got away with him, shot him and got
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: away with it and was married to Andrey Williams. But
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: all right, thanks for this trip down memory lane. Hey,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you you know who did die yesterday. It
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: was a wonderful guy, a good comedian. His name was
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Tom Dreeson. Now you probably saw him on TV a lot.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Tom Dreesen Sinatra like took him under his wing, made
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: him his opening act for like the last twenty years.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: But Dreason was around from like the seven mid seventies.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And when David led Himan, a young kid trying to
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: break into show business, went to California, when he first
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: went to the Comedy Store, first time he ever got
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: on stage, Dreason was there. And Dresen was a little
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: more of a veteran, He wasn't that big yet, but
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: he took Letterman under his wing, very nice to him,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and right up until the end, Letterman always had Tom
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Dreason on this show. He was so grateful to him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And if you go to Letterman's Facebook page or mine,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: actually I shared it, but let Himan did quite a
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: tribute to Tom Dreesen. He was a big part of Chicago.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That was a huge Chicago hero and a wonderful guy.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Died yesterday. I was eighty seven years old. Hey, So
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: throughout the day, throughout the morning, we'll cover the parade.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: We'll bring you all the action. And then the big
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: thing is the City Hall ceremony. They'll start about eleven
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: thirty or so, and eleven thirty we'll bring you the
• 21:51

• 22:49
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: Hey, Mark?
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty well. I'm in New York City and
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I guess the parade is going on right now as
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: we speak. But you know my line on this, of course, Mark,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: is that, well, congratulations, New York can finally beat Texas
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: and something. But look, I am feeling good about a
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: lot better about the economy. We're seeing oil prices down
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: to about seventy four to seventy five dollars a barrel,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: down from ninety five dollars a barrow, so people are
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: going to start to feel the effects of that in
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: their gas tank sometime in the next few weeks. I
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: think we could see, depending on where you live, I
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: think we could see nationally the gas price fall from
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: about four dollars to about three fifty a gallon, which
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: will be really fantastic for the US economy. And you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: we've got an investment boom on this going on as
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Larry Cudler would say, we're you know, it's not just
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: space X, but so many of these companies are used
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: taking advantage of the Trump tax cut, which really lowered
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: the tax on investment. And we are just seeing a
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: lot of construction, a lot of manufacturing. So the economy
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: is ready to explode.
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: I think I'm.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Getting reports from around the country, not New York, but
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: around the country. Gas now at three seventy at their
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: local stations, New York, California. They'll keep the price artificially
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: high with their stupid state stuff.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: But have you noticed, by the way, a pattern there
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: where the Blue states have much more expensive gas than
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: the place states.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Now, forget Joe Biden with that huge spike in gas prices.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: It was deliberate. He shut down drilling to deliberately raise
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the price. Everybody forget.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: It's a good point.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: In fact, we.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Showed in our hotline the average price of gasoline, you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: over you know, if you look at like Trump's first term,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: we'll go back to under Obama and then Trump's first term,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: and then Biden and Trump's second term, the lowest gas
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: prices on average. First the lowest were during Trump's first term.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: The second lowest were during Trump's second term, even with
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: the increased spike that we've seen in the last few months.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: And then Biden and then Obama had the highest as prices.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Obama not Biden.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but he didn't like He didn't like fossil fuels
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: too much either. But here's the thing. When the gas
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: price starts to come down, which it will, that's like
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: a tax cut for the American economy. And then when
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: you put on top of that the fact that we've
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: got this AI boom, that's I know some people are
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: afraid of AI, but the productivity improvements already CEOs and
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: heads of manufacturing firmstance on are saying, the increase in
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: productivity is amazing. It's cutting our costs. And guess what,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: when companies cut their costs, they were able to cut
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: their prices. So I think, you know, I agree with
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Larry Kudlow. I was on his show last night and
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: he was saying, you know, we could see zero inflation
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: in the next few months.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, And we got a good fed shairman now, so
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: we don't worry.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Why do we?
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Hey, besides this Knicks parade, the other big celebrity
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: event the three X presidents is your hometown of Chicago.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: The Obama Library opens today. It looks idious, but all
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: these ex presidents of Bruce Springsteen, all these other celebrities
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: are there. Have you seen have you seen what it
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: looks like that Obama Library.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of ugly, kind of it's very ugly,
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: you know. I you know, I haven't physically seen that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: I've seen some pictures of it. And then of course
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: they you know, gee, who would have thought Justicago would
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: have cost over runs, but currently a lot of the
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: huge cost over runs. Yeah, it costs a billion dollars.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I've heard or more that built that a billion dollars.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: It's a lot of money and a lot of the
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: contractors have been stiffed.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: They haven't been paid.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you look at the building, that's a maybe
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar job at the most. Speaking of
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: speaking out Illinois, w they're crazy. Governor Pritzker, What is
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: it with him in these taxes on every industry? He
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: needs to be nice to.
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: One of the things that's really surprised me, Mark is
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: that you know, if you go to Silicon Valley or
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: you go to some of these tech centers in America,
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Like in Massachusetts, they're all Democrats, you know, and the
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: CEOs you know, and that's changing a little bit with
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Trump because they're meet with Trump now all the time.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: But most of them are pretty liberal Democrats. And the
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: workers there are almost all Democrats. And yet who's taxing them?
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Oh gee, Pittskergh has the first baby, pritzgrows courses. The
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: governor of Illinois. He has this big new tax on
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: social media use, on you know, if you're going to
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: use the Internet, they're going to tax you, and on
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: cryptocurrencies and data centers and so on. I'm like, well,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: why why did these CEOs of these big you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: trillion dollar you know, multimillion dollar, billion dollar tech companies
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: give all their money Democrats and then they turn around
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: and stab them in the back.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, the blue collar workers all Democrats, after
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: they saw what was going on, switched over the Republicans,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: much of the Hispanic community. So now the tech industry
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: will switch over to Republicans.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: I think that you're going to see that. And you know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: by the way, I just have to say because this
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: happened last Friday, so we haven't talked since then, but
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: you know, it happened with the SpaceX ipo two trillion
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: dollar company. Here's a guy who came to the United
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: States as an immigrant. He wasn't poor, but he wasn't rich.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: You know, they were kind of middle class family. I
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: think he started as like a welder, and now he's,
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: you know, the richest guy in the world. He's developed
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: these incredible technologies and businesses that made did you see
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: five thousand people almost who were made millionaires because of
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: Eloud Musk and some of them were people were like
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: just frontline workers at SpaceX, blue collar workers millionaires.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this hatred for him. Some of these these democrats
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: think that the money he makes, he's taking it from
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: somebody else. I don't think they realize he's just earning it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: It's not coming.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Out of anywhere. Yeah, this is a very good point.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: You see, we view you know, as free market supply set.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: We view as id have increased the production, increase create
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: something out of nothing.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: That's the other thing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: You know, he comes into the country with nothing and
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: he creates a two trillion dollar business. It's mind numbing
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: and out of nothing, I mean, and that is what
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: free market capitalism is all about.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Now, windows a Warren and those types. She was yelling
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: that all this money, why just three hundred billion of
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: them would take care of all the homeless? Did they
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: not understand that they've spent three hundred billion on homelessness
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: a thousand times and it hasn't done anything to help
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: they misspend all the money.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the best way to help the homeless get.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Them a job.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But does government spending is just you know, Doze was
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: a good idea. Will we ever get that under control?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, we overpaid by like ten thousand percent for
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: every government project and the work stinks.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Well, I've been you know, trying to do that for
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: forty years in my career, get cut government spending, and
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: I've kind of struck out. So do you have any
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: good new strategies?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Let the private sector do it?
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Right, I mean I think you on Musk. You know,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know him for personally, I've never rerectually met
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: him personally, but I'm sure he was frustrated because when
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: you're a CEO, you come in and say, you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: do this, do that, you can get this done, blah
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: blah blah.
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: You can't do that.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Government.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: It's just like they're stucked. They can't get out of
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: this mode. Even then, when they know they're wasting money,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: they keep Congress keeps authorizing money for the programs, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: then nobody ever's punished for stealing the money from the taxpayers.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: And so you have fraud rates of these government programs,
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: sometimes twenty five percent fraud rates. I mean, can you
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: imagine running a business that you have twenty five percent
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: fraud rate? You'd be out of business in two weeks.

• 31:37
  Speaker 2: players on it and somewhere on the top of those

  Speaker 2: big double decker buses. But a lot of the superstars
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: from the past and a lot of the other big names,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: they're riding in cars. And the problem is if you're
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: in that crowd, like you know, ten people back are
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: thirty people back, You can't see everybody's head. You know,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: cars kind of low, so they're not raised up high
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: like on a float. But we'll keep an eye on
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the parade for you. Now, the big thing you're going
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: to want to hear is the ceremony. Once they all

• 32:23
  Speaker 2: to the next hour, Jimmy Faylor will be with us.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to him about the Nicks. It's all just
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: ahead on seven to ten wor.

  Speaker 2: is the ceremony at City Hall with all the players
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: and all that, and we'll broadcast it live. You could
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: actually hear it live here. You know, we have a
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: sponsor called Air Tasker. You know, they're very good. If
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you need anything like professional service. You need somebody to
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: fix something in your house, you need a plumber, you
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: need this, you need that, you need something to do
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: something for you, you go to Air Tasker and they'll
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: do anything anything you need. So apparently they were getting
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: a million requests the last couple of days. Because if
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to wait in line somewhere. They'll do
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: it for you. And so they're getting a million requests
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: people hiring them to have somebody wait in line at
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the Knicks parade, a line holder waiting line for Nix tickets,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: waiting line for Nick souvenirs. You know, you gotta wait
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: in line like an hour at the store. So you
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: apparently air Tasker got more business than they expected, people
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: wanting people to wait in line for Nick stuff. Actually
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: they would use them for a motor vehicle department, that
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: passport office, any place you got to wait in line.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: But it's a good sponsored Air Tasker coming up in

  Speaker 10: people in this city right now with the ticker tape
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: parade going down the block. I was, I came in early.
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: I had an early morning TV today.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: There were people.
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: Drinking twelve packs on a five to five train this morning.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: What America.
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: America is back drinking and they were drinking bud Lights,
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: by the way, so we really are back because.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: Bud Light's acceptable again.
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: It great.
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: It was a feel good moment.
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: It was a moment of redemption for the city and
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: for the country.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, be honest, is it too much? Too much? With
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the Knicks already? Have we had enough of this?
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: We haven't done this in fifty three years. Man, Okay,
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: this would be like if Joe Biden completed a sentence.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, the world is going to take notice.
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: Okay, it's gonna get people just for the historic implications.
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: And I get it if you're not like a die
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: hard guy who hangs out at the garden.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: Yet you saw it, you were excited for the city
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: and you moved on.
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: But for these people, this is one of the big
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: trappings of the whole thing, is you get that residual
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: partying effect, you get to you know, you get the
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: city whole experience. You know, and the Knicks are ride
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: and high because mom Donnie hasn't told them he's going
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: to confiscate sixty percent of their bonuses. Yet it's gonna
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: be a totally different ceremony. Yeah, it's gonna changed dramatically.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Uh, Saturday night there was a lot of violence and
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: people arrested, a couple of shootings, a bus set on fire.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Are we gonna be okay after this parade? There's millions
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: of people there. This is a difference.
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: Okay, This parade is happening at you know, ten to eleven
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: in the morning. Yeah, it's it's a little different than
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: winning the title at midnight on.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: Saturday, where everybody was already hopped up.
• 36:58
  Speaker 10: Like the timing matters, they're giving us ten thousand cops.
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: I had faith in the city on this one. And
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: as bad as.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: Those videos look, I'll have you know, like you.
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: Know that that was a five on a scale of
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: like one to Philadelphia.
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: Okay, the Eagles.
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: Win a playoff game, the overrunder on police horses getting
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: punched as like twelve and a half in Vegas, Right,
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: that's the idea that we're out a bus and.
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: A couple of cabs. I mean, we'll recover.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, you know, last time they won a championship,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: it was nineteen seventy three. There was no parade. The
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: city couldn't afford it then, so they just threw a party.
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: Wo So well, yeah, you would have got mugged on
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: the route back then, it was you didn't nobody was showing,
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: nobody was trusting anything getting thrown out a window in
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: nineteen seventy three New York City. And that's before Gerald
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: Ford told us to go screw. I mean, think about that.
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: But that long ago. So that's why they were as
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: hopped up as they are. And I listen, I think
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: it's cool because I like civic pride and this city
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: hasn't had any in all a long time, so the
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: fact that we have something like this is kind of funny.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: But what you're gonna notice is, you know, sports is
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: a very fair weather sting, and we have all of
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: these Knicks fans right now, you know. I know if
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: you were walking down this street a year ago, you
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: didn't see a lot of Knicks march on the sidewalk,
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: you know.
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: So it's a front running down.
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: If the Nets won the NBA title next year, half
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: of these people would be in Brooklyn with jay Z
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: being like, we did it, you know. But it's fun.
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: It's still fun.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fayla. I'll be totally honest. I was never a
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: basketball fan. I don't think I ever watched a basketball
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: game in my life. I started watching the Championships the Knicks,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: and I kind of got hooked on it, and I
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: got to admit that I was always a baseball fan.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: But that's kind of slow. This basketball stuff, it's pretty quick.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: It's a lot easier to watch. They think it'll lot.
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Plus everyone seats, so everyone is sitting so close
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: to the court that there's a lot of good like
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: peripheral scenery. You see the celebrities in every you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: you see the groupies. Do you want to you want
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: me to tell you real funny stories? You Marximone, you
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: missed to New York. You have the high security clearance
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: there is. When Taylor Swift went to the game last
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: week at the Garden, a lot of people players specifically too,
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: were mad that she was there because she.
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: Was sitting in three seats that normally have the hottest.
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: Groupies from the history of the NBA. It's right by
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: the bench, so there's a lot of there are a
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: lot of players that were.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: Actually bummed out to see Taylor Swift there.
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: Especially because she was in Cleveland rooting for the Calves
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: with Travis Kelcey.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: On the round.
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: You're right, Yeah, she was there in a.
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: Caves t shirt in the second round, and then she
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: showed up like miss New York. No, I'm gonna have
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: my wedding here, no one buys it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: So, oh, you know, you're right. I never thought of
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: She's like a pandering Chuck Schumer type politician, like totally, and.
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: We could have had some rap video vixen sitting courtside,
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: you know, like real looking Kardashians, but instead we got
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: Taylor Swift and her pretend Nick fan for yeah.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: You know, and you're right, those baseball groupies are kind
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: of rough around the edges.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a different animal, man.
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: But in the NBA, I will tell you this man
• 40:11
  Speaker 10: they have if you're getting it, if you get into
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: watching it, as you know, very fast paced, but nothing
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: matters till the last three minutes, and these playoffs proved it.
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: I mean the next you know, how many games would
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: you normally shut off if somebody was down twenty nine points.
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: And they won the game.
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: So like this past Saturday when the Knicks we're playing
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: an our TV show was on.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: You know, they were like.
• 40:31
  Speaker 10: Well, hopefully it's a blowout and then you'll get more
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: ratings because people are shut it off.
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: I'm like, they're not going to shut it off.
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: Because if they came back from twenty nine, you're not
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: going to shut it off as they're down by thirty.
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: You know. But it worked out. We had a good one.
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: And by the way, I have to tell you this,
• 40:43

  Speaker 10: Funny thing about TV mark is people like to look

  Speaker 10: at it. It's a very ssual medium. You don't call
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: it fox news for nothing, pal who are bringing in
• 42:45

• 43:07
  Speaker 8: Colbert lookalike contest half the time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: That just kills the mood when they're condescending.
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: To you, you know, And that's that's why we win.
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: They're they're good looking, intelligent people.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: And they're making it work.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, CNN, MSNBC, they all look like angry librarians scolding you.
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: But that's a good point.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: So who do you? I also listening to Jimmy Fayla
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: on the radio every weeknight nine to midnight, Big Show tonight.
• 43:32

  Speaker 9: Man?
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: So I think Larry Trump is back tonight? And uh
• 43:40
  Speaker 10: one of a comic.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: I like a lot. Ali Breen who is?
• 43:43
  Speaker 10: She is a New York stand up comedy legend for
• 43:46
  Speaker 10: her work at the comedy club Bar. She's a very
• 43:49
  Speaker 10: funny girl, but she's been doing stand up a long time,
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: Super funny, great hango like, she's a great after party
• 43:55
  Speaker 10: guest too.
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: You got to understand a.
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: Lot of these bookings on my show are it's just
• 44:00
  Speaker 10: who is a good atmosphere.
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: To hang out with?
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: Because if they're fun at the after party, they're fun.
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: On the air.
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: That's the point the people.
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: You know, you're not going to meet anybody who's really
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: fun to hang out with. It's the stiff on the air.
• 44:11
  Speaker 10: So that's really the metric. I booked people that are fun,
• 44:14
  Speaker 10: and if they're fun, it makes good TV.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Well it's gonna be good stuff. Listen tonight

  Speaker 2: All right, take care. Oh let's go. The parade is
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: going on right now, the Canyon of Heroes, and millions
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: of people are there, and we've got our Ace correspondent
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore, who's at the scene. Natalie, are you there?
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: I am there, but I gotta tell you, Mark, I
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: think I might be a little secondhand high here. Everybody
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: is celebrating by rolling up a jointing scene and really
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: this is quite an atmosphere around here. I'm still where
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: I've called you last time, along Broad along Warren Street.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: I'm actually watching an MTA bus try to part the
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: seas of people to make it south down the street.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: So crazy. It feels like every hour that we remain
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: here it gets a little bit crazier and a little
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: bit more packed.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: And what would you say, The crowd age wise is
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: pretty It's a pretty young.
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: Crowd where I am right now, it seems pretty young. Yeah,
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: I see a lot of young people. I mean, earlier
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: this morning I was talking to older people though, who
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: were saying that they've been waiting for decades. So see
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: the nixed win championships. So there's definitely a mixed croud
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: throughoute the day. But a lot of what I'm seeing
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: right now along West Broadway is pretty young people streaming
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: up and down the streets. So they're kind of fighting
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: the curring.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: So you said you can smell pot everywhere? Are you
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: seeing drinking there everywhere?
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: Not as much drinking. There are some guys who are
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: you know, the good old classic put it in a
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: paper bag and take a few SIPs out of a fit
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: while the cops are at looking. But no, there's definitely
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: that smell of pot in the air. It's been like
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: that all morning, from the time I started up the
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: street on Chambers all the way down to the Oculus
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: and now over here on West Broadway. Yeah, people are
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: spirits are high, but maybe so.
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: Are the people more well.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, so now what about the police present? A lot
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: of cops, right, I hope there's a lot of cops here.
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: Have you police presence?
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: A few minutes ago, a few moments before we got
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: on the air. Actually I watched police officers start moving
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: people off one of the sidewalks. They were asking them
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: to move, and you know, sometimes people get combative, but
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: everybody listened, everybody followed orders, they got up, they left.
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: So if there's no uh, there's not a lot of
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: tension from what I'm seeing right now.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, so they're expecting a million people, I'm hearing they
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: get got more like two to three million, maybe four million.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And they said at seven point thirty all
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the slots to be watched the parade were full. So
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: all those millions excess people, where did they go? Where
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: are they?
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: They overspilled mark out into Lower Manhattan. They are literally
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: crawling all over the city. They are, I mean like
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: they are. So the Oculus is an avenue off of
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: where the parade route is that was filled to the brim,
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: filled to the brim with people just packed like sardines.
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: You go a little bit further west on the West Broadway,
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: the people are streaming a steady stream, but they're not uh,
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: they're not completely tacked in, and it's still not easy
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: to make your way up and down the city. So
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: within these three this three block radius. That's where all
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: the people went. They just want to stand as close
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: to the parade as they can, And those people by
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: the oculus were hoping that they would be close to
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: us if they climbed on a garbage truck, which we
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: saw people climbing on garbage trucks, or if they climbed
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: on a on a traffic light. They were just hoping
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: to at least catch some sort of glimpse between the
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: buildings of the parade.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, so they're not going home and all that. Uh well,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: it looks pretty I'm looking at it now. It looks
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: pretty chaotic down there, all those fans.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean yeah.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Well, so when do you think the paray will end?
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Because we're waiting for the city hall ceremony.
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: I mean, we're getting word that they're that they're running behind,
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: so no word yet on they've already started making their
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: way up, but a lot of people are actually there.
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: It almost seems like people are making their way uptown now,
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: so seemingly their hopes have been dashed and they've gotten
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: word that the parade is almost over and they're not
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: going to be able to even catch a lens.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: These millions of people do they know to stay down
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: there that we don't. The police don't come to Midtown.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Have they been told this?
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: Well you better broadcast in Mark. Maybe I'll walk along
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: the street and ask them all please just stay down here.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: Mark Simone does not want you up here.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell them not to come above above the village.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: Well, it'll be difficult for them to get above Canal
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: Street anyway until the subways start running. They're gonna have
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: to walk their way up and then get on a
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: subway and come around or catch an uber, which could
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: be very expensive at that point, because you know, all
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: these millions of people are trying to leave the area
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: at once.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: All right, well, good work, Natalie Migli. Are you keep
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: us posted if anything happens down there?
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you, Mark, thanks for being with us.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Take care. So the big thing is the city Hall
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: ceremony supposed to start about eleven and thirty may run
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: a little behind, but once the ceremony starts, that's the part.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: That's the thing you want to hear, because the parade
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: is just a lot of cheering and waving, but the
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: ceremony will bring it to you. Live here on. We'll
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: take some calls next to eight hundred three to two
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten on seven ten WR. If
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: App, save time and tap the preset button.
• 50:23
  Speaker 12: Now.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on wor Well.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: The Knicks parade continues, and uh, look, I throw it
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: a little late. But once they get the city Hall,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: they start the big ceremony. We'll bring that to you
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: live here, and we'll get a lot of listeners around
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: the country. And you go, what Nicks. It's like, you
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: have no idea. You have to be here. It's like
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: this sweep in the city. They got these big stores
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: that sell all the Knicks hats and the merchandise. You
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: have to wait in line two three hours just to
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: get in the store. It's Nicks fever. It's unlike anything
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: in sports I've ever seen in New York. Let's take
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: some calls. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert, how
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: you doing all right?
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: Mark? And good morning Mark. With the Iranian agreement, the
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: one thing that stands out that makes me uneasy is
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: the Iranians insisted, well, we can dig up the nuclear dust,
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: but they want it destroyed on site.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Well, that's actually better. That's better for us too, That's
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: the way we like to do it.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: I The only thing I hope, Mark is that our
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: military will be there to protect those technicians.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: That's all. Yeah, we've done it before. We've we're pretty
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: good at this. We've we've done it before. It's it's easy.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: But don't they bring it back so suddenly you're.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: An expert on nuclear dust and how to destroy it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Now we can, we can, we can transport it back
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: and destroy it here, but they prefer that we destroy
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: it right there. It's a lot safer obviously than trying
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: to transport it back. And the last time we had
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: to do this was when Kadafi gave up all his
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: nuclear dust in Libya. We got special teams that go
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: in and destroy it right there. Transfer aarding it is
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: a nightmare. I mean, we can do it, but you
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: don't want to have to do.
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: That if you don't, Yeah, I agree.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I want to listensten, listen, listen. Leave this to the experts.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Let them take care of this.
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: I'm just worried about our people, I.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Know, but we've already been on the ground in this
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: particular conflict twice already. Remember we had to rescue the
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: two pilots separately. We sent in ground troops, we built
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: an air base in there. We're able to protect them.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: The way they do it is it's pretty uh easy
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: for the military. They wherever they're going to be. Let's
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: say they're going to sit where they're going to destroy
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the nuclear dust, they draw a two mile circle around
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: that area, and then they surround that two mile circle
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: with everything, airplanes, drones, and they call it the circle
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: of death. Anybody enters that circle, they're killed instantly. That's
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: what we did when we rescued the pilots. They set
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: up that circle of death. Remember that pilot rescue, the
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: one was up in the mountains. We went in there
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: and built an air base, a temporary airbase. We brought
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: in planes, helicopters, all kinds of equipment, and they had
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: to be there on the ground operating like that for
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: almost a whole day. But we set up that two
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: mile circle around him. That perimeter protected it and shot
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: anybody that tried to come into it. So they're pretty good. Actually,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: they're perfect at removing nuclear material, destroying it on site.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent, how you doing.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mara. It's a real sign
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: of the times. As Mike pointed out that practically all
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: of Lower Manhattan, the subways, the streets are closed. Fifty
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: years ago before there was radical nut job leftist terrorism
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: and his Alamic terrorism. That wasn't necessary. They closed where
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: to start. The staging area was for the people in
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: the parade and the end and that was that people
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: were allowed to go to the work. That's a sign
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: of the times. I heard you speak early about how Obama,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: the Obama people from y Obama are stiff and all
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: the contractors and everything they're not getting their money. Because
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: I'll put money if any of these contractors put in
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: file a civil complaint, a civil suit that they weren't paid,
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: all of Obama's crony's in that state and in that
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: city will go look up the nose of all these
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: contractors to find any bit of dirt and put them
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: on the hook. Mark. Something has to be like we
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: saw Saturday night when they lit that school bus on fire,
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: who's going to be responsible for paying out one hundred
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars for that school bus? And even
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: if they caught the person Alvin Bragg is going to
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: let them go, or even if there was a sham trial,
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: some corrupt Manhattan judge is going to let them go. Mark,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: it would be great, and I hope he's working on it.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, the Justice Department, in the Judicial Department looked
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: into all these corrupt SOB judges and that gotta be
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: Something's got to be done because that bus company should
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: not be on the Hawk and we shouldn't have to
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: go through all these shenanigans that we're still going through
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: in the city because of people like Bondami, these two
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: other creeps. He's trying to get elected, these two creepy
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: women and Alvin Bragg Marg.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well, Vincent, great call, as always, thanks
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: for calling.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Now on sevent ten WOR live coverage of the City
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Hall ceremony as the World chavon New York Nicks are
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: presented the Keys to the City sponsored by Nico's Forts,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Get your next Championship ball at nikcosports dot Com.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: That's it, that's it. The guy can't say. And now
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: here's Mark Simone. Well, the music sounds good. So the
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: parade is winding down, it's heading towards City Hall. At
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: City Hall, they'll have the big ceremony that will cover
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: live for you. There's a band playing there. Now there's
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: half the seats are full. The players are still coming
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: up in the parade. When they get to City Hall,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: they'll all take their seats and then the ceremony will
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: begin again. We'll bring it to you live. It's going
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: to be the players get to speak, the awards will
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: be given out, the trophy will be given out. Alicia
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Keys will perform live. Should be pretty interesting stuff. You
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: could be like me where you weren't. I was never
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: a basketball fan. I never even watched basketball, but this
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: next stuff I started watching it, and boy, it was
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: the first series right before the championships. That was pretty exciting.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: And then the championships series started, I was watching every game.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: So there might be a lot of people like me
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: who suddenly got hooked on the Knicks suddenly became basketball fans.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you're a big baseball fan like
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I am, or a big football fan like I am,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: those games are great, but they're kind of slow. There's
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of timeouts. In football, it takes four hours
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: to play the game. Baseball is very slow, but that
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: basketball stuff. It is fast, it keeps moving. I can
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: see why in the Twitter TikTok world it became like
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: the most popular sport. It just moves. It's fast. The
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Knicks an amazing team in that they're always behind. I
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: started to figure this out during the first championship series,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: that you think that's it, it's over. They're thirty points behind,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: they got no shot. Even in the third quarter. They're
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: thirty points behind. Well, I might as well turn this off.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: The Knicks come from behind every time. And that's a
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: real super talent. You know, it's one thing to get
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: ahead early in the game, but in the very end,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: when you're way behind, to really take off and win
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: at the end, that's being, as Trump would say, a closer.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: You got to be a closer. Being a real closer
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: is what makes a champion. Now, Texas they were great,
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: but it was a young, young team. They didn't have
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: the Knicks experience or and again they weren't closers. They
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: could get thirty points behind, at thirty points ahead. Those
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs were amazing. Always thirty points ahead, forty
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: points ahead. First quarter, unbelievable. Second quarter, they start falling apart.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Third quarter they fall apart even more. Fourth quarter they
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: try to catch up, but then the Knicks just crushed them.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: So the Knicks an amazing team. I'm forgetting his name, Bronson,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Jalen Bronson. That's how new I am to this. Jalen Bronson.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable because comes some think he may end up being
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: the greatest Nick ever. That's a that's a big thing.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: And Bronson is like the superstar of New York right now,
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: getting standing ovations everywhere he goes Yankee Stadium last night anyway,
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: So he'll be, uh, he'll be the star of this parade.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Looks like they're getting close to City Hall. Curtis is
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: going to come in a little wile, right, Is he
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: around somewhere or we're hunting him down? Curtis Curtis. Curtis
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: will be because the reason I say that, I think
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: he knows more about basketball than I do. But I
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: think there are a lot of this is the best
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: thing for New York, and it's the best thing for basketball.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: You know, like golf was popular, but it wasn't that popular,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: and then Tiger Woods came along, and as soon as
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Tiger Woods took off, all of a sudden golf became
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: a lot more popular, especially with younger generations. It really
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: was a big thing for the game and self and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: attendance and revenue and all. That's the same thing with
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: the Knicks for basketball. You know, the championship series was
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: getting about twenty million viewers, and then towards the end,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the final games were getting twenty four million viewers, which
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: is huge, huge. That's like beyond the Oscars, the Grammys
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: twenty four million. It hit almost twenty five million during
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: the final game. Now, this team, the New York Knicks,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: the champions are going to the White House. That's part
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: of the deal. They will be the first NBA championship
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: team ever to go to the White House. That'll happen
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: probably the next week or two. Like with all these things, Yeah,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: some players might refuse to go. I don't know, remember
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: the Patriots when they won and Bush was president and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: they refuse to go. Well, the media try to use
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: that against Bush, but owner Bob Kraft pointed out, Hey,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: when Clinton was the president, we had play players refused
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: to go to. When Obama was president, players refused to
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: go to happens all the time. Speaking of which, that's
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: the other big event today the Obama Library opening in Chicago.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Every ex president is there, all kinds of stars, Bruce
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: Springs for the Obama Presidential Library opening. They planned this
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: for a long time, this big opening star started, unbelievable opening.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: They never counted on a Knicks parade that would drain
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: all the oxygen out of the media air for them.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: The Obama Library is going to hardly get any coverage
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: because of the Knicks parade. Now. They could never must
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: have planned this six months ago. They couldn't and they
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: wanted to do it on the eve of June nineteenth,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: June teenth, so that's why they picked the day. But
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: they never ever dreamed that this Knicks parade would be
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: so huge that nobody would Yeah, right now, if we
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: watch any channel, all they're showing is the Knicks parade,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: not the Obama Museum coverage. What Oh, okay, Yeah, we're
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna take a break in. The parade is
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: running late, but I mean, I'm looking at it looks
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: like a ton of people there. But the big thing
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: is the ceremony. When they get to City Hall, the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: ceremony begins, that's the part you want to hear. And
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: we'll bring it to your Live coming up just a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: few minutes on seven to ten w r.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: Mark.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Well, the parade looks like it's just well, it's kind
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: of stopped right now, but they're all going to head
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: to City Hall. The big ceremony will take place and
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: we'll bring it to your Live. This is it's running late,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: so it's a later than usual. Our reporter Natalie Migliori
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: down there on the scene.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: Natalie, are you there, Yeah, I'm there.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: But people are starting to kind of leave Mark. Instead
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: of streaming downtown like we saw this morning for people
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 6: to get to the parade, they're starting to stream uptown.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 6: I know that's uh, not what you're looking forward to,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: but they're at least trying to make their their way
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: through the subways.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: But does that mean they're leaving and breaking up and
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: going home?
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of people. I've just heard one young
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: lady get off the phone and she said, Okay, I'm
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: probably gonna go home now, and like that was her plan.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: So a lot of people just starting to sort of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: break up. They've seen what they need to see, or
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: they've had enough. If they couldn't get in and they've left,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 6: they've left the area.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: Well, it also might be the kind of thing where
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: you just want to go there, say you were there,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: get your TikTok, get your Instagram pictures, and then you
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: can leave and go home. But hopefully very well, yeah,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: hopefully everybody goes home. We don't want any trouble like
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Saturday night. How would you say the crowd is behavior wise?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: They're fine.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 6: The crow the crowd is pretty you know, in this
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: part of the route, or in this part of count
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: in a sense, we're about a block off the actual
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: parade route. The crowd is pretty well behaved and they're
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: calm and nobody. I haven't seen anybody yelling or anybody
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: getting into arguments with each other. People just want to
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: be here to have a good time, and they want
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: to celebrate this milestone.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: So are there people down there making money like selling
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: the souvenirs and nick stuff?
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 10: Is?
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah there this is if
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: you know New York City, anymok any opportunity to make
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: a buck. I saw one woman She had made like
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 6: very long NIX colored lanyards that people could put around
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 6: their nets, almost like a neck reef. There's a guy
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: selling T shirts left him right. One guy he was
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: trying to hustle the girl to buy his last T shirt.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: She said, oh, I'll come back to you, and he said, no, no,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 6: this is my last one. By the time he come back,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 6: it's going to be gone. Whether he was right or wrong,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: he definitely made He made out like a bandit for sure.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: He had an empty bag by the time it was done. Yeah,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 6: so people, definitely, I don't how to turn a buck
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: around here.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Four million people, not four million, but it looks like
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: it was a little more than one million, and they've
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: been there four or five hours. What about when people
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: have to go to the bathroom? What's going on down there?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: Very limited? You could really only go to the bathroom
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: in certain parts of the city. And if you had
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: to go to the bathroom and you were ready in
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 6: the crowd, you couldn't leave. It was like New Year's
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 6: in Times Square, right, You got to get your depends
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: on you a diaper, and you got to sit there.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: As long as you get.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 6: Into the crowd, you gotta go. You know, you can't
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 6: you can't go, you gotta stay. That's really it, because
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 6: once you go, you go.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: Millions of people there. So by along that parade with
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: did bodegas and restaurants and stores, and did they stay
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: open and try to make money off this?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean people were popping in
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: and out all morning, people waiting online. They were going
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: over to the bagel stores or the delis across the streets,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 6: the bodegas across the streets from the line while their
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 6: friends were holding their spot, and they they totally I
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: would say they made bank. I mean, look, I'm not
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: the financial controller of the city, so I can't go
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: into all of our finances here, but I would say
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: that it was a pretty good boom for people, especially
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 6: people who couldn't get into the parade, who then went
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: into some places where you could sit down and eat
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 6: and grab a cup of coffee.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: So I'm watching the parade. Seems to be frozen, like
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: everything stopped. They're not moving. Why is that?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: You know, this is a backed up you know, and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 6: sanitation follows them as the ticker tape Convetti comes down.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 6: So there's a bunch of processes and then there could
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 6: be a delight getting into City Hall park. You know,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 6: the mayor gave out six hundred tickets to people to
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 6: the general public. Then you have the media you have
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 6: these high profile players who are getting into the park. Yeah,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: I got Alicia Keys, who's going to perform once they
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: all get there. So it could very well be a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: little backup in logistics to make sure that everybody is
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: safely assembled into the park.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's like a pretty orderly crowd. No pushing, no shoving,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: none of that.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 6: No, I didn't see pushing her shit. And I got
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 6: to tell you, there were parts of the day where
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: people were packed into this crowd like sardines, and so
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: everybody was like, hey, hey, hey, we're all good, fam
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 6: It's all good. Nobody pushing or shoving or fighting or
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: picked her or screaming again. And I think everybody kind
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 6: of understood that there was this sense of organized chaos,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 6: but it really was. It was very not organized. Not
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 6: a lot of people, especially in the beginning of the day,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 6: who are waiting online before they even got through to
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 6: the parade ends. There was not a lot of directions.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: Even the police officers were trying to figure out how
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: to direct people, how to control the crowd where they
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: actually needed to go for access points. So the morning
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: started with confusion and people just sort of accepting that, hey,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: we're here, to celebrate, but we might not get in.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it looks cloudy out, but the weather held up.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: That nobody got rained on in.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: This parade, right, weather held up, And they're lucky they
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 6: did because they weren't allowed to bring umbrellas into this parade.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 6: So yeah, there was a whole ban on large beds, umbrellas,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 6: anything that might have been dangerous. So people got lucky.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: They had to bring their raintm shows they were expecting rain.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: And I'm sure those guys who were along the parade
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: route were probably posted up too. They maybe missed out
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 6: on making a few bucks because they're luckily for the
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: people who were standing out in the in the streets,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 6: wasn't a found poor during this whole celebratory thing.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Well, so it's way behind schedule. Any word on when
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: the City Hall ceremony.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 6: Will start, No word yet, we're still waiting. I think
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 6: that officials are just trying to take a word from
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: word from security and the NYPD and sort of work
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: in tandem to see when or how they can safely
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 6: ensure that everybody celebrates within City Hall Park. It's a
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 6: lot of people in a very concentrated area.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well stay safe, down there and we'll
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: maybe we'll check in with you again. All right, Natalie,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: take care. Actually we can take a listen, right, we
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: can take a listen to the audio. This is the parade,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: the actual sound. It's just three hours of this. That's
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: why we'll bring you the city Hall ceremony live. But
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: if you're there, this is all you hear. I mean,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: it sounds okay, but imagine you hear how loud. It
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: is not very loud here. You know, when you're down there,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: it's deafening, deafening. So if you were standing there, you
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: would have this blasting in your ear. So after about
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: ten minutes, I'd probably want to kill myself having that
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: in my head. So that's why it's better not to
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: be there. We'll bring you the actual ceremony. Once they
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: get to city Hall, it'll be much much better. You're
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: going to hear Mayor Mom Donnie speaker. Whatever you love
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: me or hate him, he is a good speaker. And
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: then you'll hear the the Nicks. They'll get their awards
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: and they'll talk, and then the mayor has a key
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: to the city. It's actually a big gold key. It's
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: about like five inches. It's a big gold key and
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: everybody will get their key to the city. Of course,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: knowing this guy, he'll change the locks right afterwards. But
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: and then they'll get the trophy and all that, and
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: then Alicia King Alicia Keys will do Empire State of Mind.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: So it should be a pretty good ceremony. Well, it's
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: supposed to start at eleven thirty. It's almost noon, so
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: there's quite a delay on that. So we'll bring it
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: to you, you know, probably right after the news. A
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: lot of celebrities there. Timothy Chalome is there, Kylie Jenner,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of other celebrities there, Spike Lee. All these
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: people are down there getting ready for this. The fans
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: were chanting, I can't say this, f Wemby, just say
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: the F word Wemby yelling and screaming of that. A
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: lot of Nick's merchandise being sold down there on the scene.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: First championship since nineteen seventy three, first parade ever seventy three.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: They won the World Championship, but there was no parade.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: The city couldn't afford it at the time. Mayor Lindsay said,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: we just don't have the money to do it. So
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: they threw a party in sead a party instead. There's
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: some Knicks fans down there. There's one named Madison, and
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: apparently her parents were such Knicks fans. She said, that's
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: why she's named Madison. She was actually named after Madison
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Square Garden. You can see Patrick Ewing in the crowd,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: greeting fans. Let's see what else is saying. Yeah, a
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: lot of famous faces down there. Jalen Bronson jumped off
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: the float a couple of times. You know, the fans
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: are behind barricades over in the side. A couple of
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: times he actually jumped off the float, went over to
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: shake hands with the fans. Great video that you'll be
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: seeing all over the place. Knicks fans climbed on top
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: of the South Ferry subway station, yelling and screaming, and
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: as we heard before, they're climbing up on garbage trucks
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: to get a better look. And oh, apparently there's bathroom
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: entry codes at certain buildings, you know, and sometimes you
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: go to Starbucks and there's a thing like that. So
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: that was a big thing. People were like bribing to
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: get those bathroom codes to get in there. But it
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: looks like well over a million people showed up. We
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: were hearing up to two million formula. It looks like
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: just well over a million people. Now they're having a
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: problem apparently on the subways last night, getting a lot
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: of graffiti sprayed all over the trains. It's all Nicks graffiti.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: I gotta admit it looks pretty good. I'd leave it
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: up there. It's orange and blue, you know' graffiti artists
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: are really good. A lot of orange and blue nixed
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: stuff all over the subway trains is graffiti you have.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: There's some trees along the route. They've got all kinds
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: of fans climbing up in the trees trying to get
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: a better look. And now again, I'm a new basketball fan,
• 1:13:04
