  Speaker 3: license and they have a new procedure. They asked you
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: if you want to change your voting party or or
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: you register to vote there. Question is with all those

  Speaker 3: illegal licenses at in California and all over, I was
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: wondering how they did it.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Did you have to show any
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: kinds of ID or anything?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Or I had my ID there? And then another time

  Speaker 3: when I was in the Bronx, I got a pamphlet

  Speaker 3: that was already checked off for the Democratic Party and
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: they asked me to sign it and mail it in.

  Speaker 3: But I'm a Republican. So they have other ways been
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: with the voting registrations there and everything else.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: That's true. Now when you say go to the Motor
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Vehicle department, that's like a nightmare. If you're in the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: middle of New York City. You have a waiting line
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: for ten hours. There's sixty thousand people. But you're in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Dutchess County, right, there's probably no line. It's a quiet
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: little Andy Green.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: No, it's changing, Mark, No, it's changed. Oh, really saying
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: all over there's that urbanization all over. Now, that's what
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Trump said that they wanted to do, and they did it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Where are you in Dutchess County? Oh? I don't know
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: what that is, but it sounds fine.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: It sounds one.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It's well, there you go. It's by Beakman.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Well, not bad place, all right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Now it sounds nice. Thanks for calling.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Take care. Let's go to h Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: How you doing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay. I heard the clip
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you played of Julia Mennon uh speaking about protecting the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: houses of worship. Yeah, that's part of a larger interview
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: that she gave with John Kats and Matidi's on his
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: show yesterday, and he directly asked her about the real
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: estate and that the real estate community is really worried
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and the reason why he mentioned it, and she totally
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: avoided the question. She's a co sponsor a lor with
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: counselwoman nurse who came up with this law that you
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: have to offer it to the nonprofit first and then secondly,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and I don't know how you're going to go to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: contract with a private buyer. After you go to contract,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you have to then re offer it to them. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: she totally avoided the question because she is the co
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: sponsor of that law. And Michael Goodwin a couple of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: weeks ago before she was inaugurated, Michael Goodwin talked about
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that and he said he was hoping that Eric Adams
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: what she didn't do with a veto vito the law
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: because it wasn't veto proof they didn't have enough votes.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But he says, I doubt that because she's a co
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: sponsor of the law. So I heard her wiggling squeam.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I wish you the best apecial, especially with
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the houses of worship and the anti Semitic activity uh
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: going on in this city. But she avoided the question.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, she's a slimy politician, but she's more of a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: centrist than you usually get.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Oh no, definitely. That other one, well, was it Adriana
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Adams who Yeah, well she was a cut off the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: old She was a chip off the old man.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time since we had a normal,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: middle of.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: The road moderate It's good. It boats well.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Vincent, thanks for calling. It's just a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: good especially when I'm Donnie in office. You want a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a centrist, modern city council speaker, and she is like
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a not as good as Peter Valone, but like that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sort of person. So hey, there's a lot of restaurants
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: opening all over the place. Things are booming in New York.

  Speaker 1: Cafe Un d'utois been there fifty years. A lot of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: famous faces in there, a lot of people in the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: theater district. You know. The big, big, big Broadway restaurants
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: were Joe Allen orso Sardis and that one it's closing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say exactly why, just says too expensive expenses
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of skyrocketed rent is very very very expensive. Employees also
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: added the ones hopping lunch business has dried up since
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. A lot of people not going back to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the office, so they go back like three days a week,
