Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 3: Freedom 250 Grand Prix is here!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now stars were born yesterday during the Fauci hearing, and
- 0:03Speaker 1: one of them was Bernie Moreno, who is a Senator
- 0:07Speaker 1: from Ohio, and he is fascinating because he made this
- 0:12Speaker 1: the key issue in campaigning for senate. He had a
- 0:17Speaker 1: car dealership, a huge car dealership in Ohio. He had
- 0:21Speaker 1: other related businesses and they got killed by the pandemic.
- 0:26Speaker 1: He also has four kids who weren't allowed to go
- 0:29Speaker 1: to school. He also had friends that died in the pandemic.
- 0:34Speaker 1: So he ran for senate specifically for this moment. He
- 0:38Speaker 1: couldn't wait to see Fauci face to face.
- 0:43Speaker 2: It was about six years ago today that I decided
- 0:47Speaker 2: I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all,
- 0:50Speaker 2: run for office, run to the United States Senate. Here
- 0:54Speaker 2: I am sitting in front of you six years later, saying,
- 0:56Speaker 2: who the fuck do you think you were for doing that?
- 0:58Speaker 2: It is a total disgrace what you did to this country.
- 1:03Speaker 1: He was mad, man. He was so emotional in that moment.
- 1:06Speaker 1: I saw him tearing up. He wanted that moment for
- 1:10Speaker 1: all of this time.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Has ever in the history of congressional hearings has the inquisitor.
- 1:16Speaker 3: He's the inquisitive. Yes, not the person who's got to
- 1:20Speaker 3: answer the question. Never remember a Senat or a congress
- 1:23Speaker 3: person dropping the F bomb. I mean, we've had some
- 1:25Speaker 3: real winners in the House especially.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I'm sure it's happened. I don't remember it, certainly not
- 1:31Speaker 1: at hearing this big that everybody in the country was watching.
- 1:35Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people got up and
- 1:37Speaker 1: applauded when he said that. I think he said something
- 1:41Speaker 1: that everybody would love to say to Anthony Fauci. And
- 1:45Speaker 1: then what was really fascinating is he then turned down
- 1:51Speaker 1: to the other side of the of the aisle and
- 1:56Speaker 1: said to the Democrats.
- 1:58Speaker 2: I hope the voters the United States of America watched
- 2:01Speaker 2: the clips of every one of you doting on a
- 2:05Speaker 2: guy who was more interested in being a celebrity than
- 2:09Speaker 2: saving American people.
- 2:11Speaker 1: You could tell with him this is extremely personal, and
- 2:15Speaker 1: this is the whole reason he ran. He ran just
- 2:18Speaker 1: to have that moment.
- 2:20Speaker 2: You may have had a fifty plus year legacy of
- 2:24Speaker 2: public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Well, we're not there yet, but we're almost there. There
- 2:34Speaker 1: is some things to come, and yes, I mean it
- 2:38Speaker 1: seems at this point it's going to end in complete disgrace.
- 2:42Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that have to happen. Next week.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Of course, they're going to vote on whether they're going
- 2:49Speaker 1: to charge him with obstruction of justice. And also there
- 2:53Speaker 1: are some state going after in Florida is one and
- 2:57Speaker 1: there's some others that will follow. But Bernie Moreno gave
- 3:02Speaker 1: him one chance to do something that everybody would love
- 3:05Speaker 1: to hear from him. Everybody that had an elderly person
- 3:09Speaker 1: they couldn't visit as they died in a nursing home.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Everyone that had had a child couldn't go to school,
- 3:15Speaker 1: everyone that had a friend or a loved one die,
- 3:18Speaker 1: everyone who lost their business wanted this one moment from
- 3:22Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Will you apologize, just apologize to the people who you
- 3:31Speaker 2: harmed through your actions? Will you say, do you have
- 3:35Speaker 2: the dignity to just say you're sorry?
- 3:39Speaker 1: And he took the Fifth Amendment again Yep, yep.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Obviously this had more impact, but we saw that from
- 3:48Speaker 3: Governor Andrew Elijkomo. Remember in that congressional hearing public open
- 3:53Speaker 3: to the public, where all the victims of his policy
- 3:56Speaker 3: influenced by by the way doctor Fauci, how they used
- 4:00Speaker 3: to joke with one another publicly on CNN when it
- 4:03Speaker 3: was the Cuomo National Network with Chris Cuomo there and they.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Were all laughing, you new Umpachino.
- 4:11Speaker 3: But when Cuomo was in the eye sight of Alice Stephonic,
- 4:16Speaker 3: boy did we miss there. Now she would have been
- 4:18Speaker 3: a much better, in my point, gubernatorial candidate than Blakeman.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Blakeman's okay, but Stephanic was on fire and she said, turn, turn,
- 4:26Speaker 3: They're all there. They're all looking at you. All they
- 4:29Speaker 3: want is you to acknowledge them. Not even a pot
- 4:31Speaker 3: you wouldn't acknowledge them. Same thing with Faluci, Like two
- 4:35Speaker 3: birds of a feather they flocked together. He could have
- 4:39Speaker 3: said something simply obviously. His strategy was take the Fifth
- 4:43Speaker 3: Amendment to anything and say, yeah, I apology. I apologize
- 4:47Speaker 3: for all those who had to go through the suffering
- 4:49Speaker 3: and death without necessarily taking responsibility. Shows some humanity. He's
- 4:55Speaker 3: never shown humanity. Cuomo's never shown humanity. Horrible, No, he never.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Had as And listen, Anthony Fauci is going to go
- 5:02Speaker 1: down in history, I hope. And we're getting there. Now
- 5:05Speaker 1: we're not there. This is just the first step in
- 5:08Speaker 1: getting there. He's going to go down in history as
- 5:12Speaker 1: one of the most vile public servants in the world,
- 5:17Speaker 1: not just here, because remember he pushed gain of function research.
- 5:22Speaker 1: He lied about it. We see in his emails that
- 5:25Speaker 1: he was actually funding it in the Wuhan lab That's
- 5:29Speaker 1: what started this whole thing. So it's not just in
- 5:32Speaker 1: America that he should be vilified. There was a million people,
- 5:35Speaker 1: over a million people around the world that died from
- 5:38Speaker 1: this because of Anthony Falci. Now, look, I understand the
- 5:43Speaker 1: gain of function research has a place. I get it.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I understand it. In the past. It is come in
- 5:49Speaker 1: handy in beating some horrible diseases, but it's outlawed in
- 5:55Speaker 1: this country for a good reason because of this. They
- 5:58Speaker 1: said when they out Lord, this could start a pandemic.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Nobody would know that better than him, and he ignored it.
- 6:05Speaker 3: And why would you do it with an enemy? I
- 6:09Speaker 3: say that you really believed in this, You want to
- 6:11Speaker 3: do it with an ally, some ally out there that
- 6:15Speaker 3: you subcontracted out to do this work.
- 6:18Speaker 4: You do it with Red China, right enemy.
- 6:22Speaker 3: You gave them money the Wuhan Laboratory to do the
- 6:27Speaker 3: tinkering with the genetic makeup of viruses so that scientists
- 6:30Speaker 3: can better understand how they evolved. You know, there have
- 6:33Speaker 3: been accidents. Why would you entrust the Red Chinese.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I'll give you several reasons, because they would do gain
- 6:40Speaker 1: of function research when others in the world have decided
- 6:43Speaker 1: that's too dangerous, because it would be more secretive. Who
- 6:48Speaker 1: was going to find out? And know what? They keep
- 6:50Speaker 1: their mouth shut. They've learned. They grew up as they
- 6:53Speaker 1: were a kid to keep their mouth shut. So this
- 6:56Speaker 1: was the perfect place actually to do this. And then
- 7:00Speaker 1: it leaked out, and then he lied again about it.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Remember he said, oh no, no, no, this just started
- 7:05Speaker 1: in the wet market. It actually was there long before
- 7:09Speaker 1: there was any possible leak at the Wuhan lab. And
- 7:12Speaker 1: he lied about that. He admitted that in his diary.
- 7:15Speaker 1: That was the biggest finding in that diary that he
- 7:18Speaker 1: admitted that that was a lie.
- 7:19Speaker 3: You know, this really motivates me to do something that
- 7:22Speaker 3: has happened locally that has never been properly explored. And
- 7:26Speaker 3: people out in Long Island know what I'm talking about.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Plum Island. Now it's been opened up finally after like
- 7:34Speaker 3: oh my god, since the fifties where they would take
- 7:39Speaker 3: animal pathogens and they would do exactly that those genetic
- 7:43Speaker 3: tests and create viruses. No one was permitted on the island.
- 7:47Speaker 3: You know, they had the skull and cross bones. It
- 7:50Speaker 3: was a secret germ laboratory for to prevent what they said,
- 7:55Speaker 3: bio disasters. They would never let us know. It was
- 7:58Speaker 3: a restricted area. Been closed in perpetuity. They've actually starting
- 8:03Speaker 3: to do this out in Manhattan, Kansas.
- 8:05Speaker 1: They moved everything out there. Why.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I have no idea, but they refused to talk about
- 8:11Speaker 3: what was done on Plumb Island for all those years.
- 8:14Speaker 3: The mystery continues. Obviously part of that time. You know
- 8:18Speaker 3: who was in charge of that, doctor Fauci. So I'm
- 8:22Speaker 3: going to really dig in on this because the people
- 8:24Speaker 3: have a right to know out there. Remember there have
- 8:26Speaker 3: been many people who have died, a many kancers in
- 8:30Speaker 3: Suffolk County that have never had a rhyme or reason
- 8:34Speaker 3: to it. Remember that was called the cancer belt. Who
- 8:37Speaker 3: is the representative? Oh, they've been different. He goes back
- 8:40Speaker 3: to Leezelden Congressional District one before that, Ricklesio. I call
- 8:44Speaker 3: him Lazio Olazio because he basically tossed in the towel
- 8:48Speaker 3: to Hillary Rodham Clinton and running for the Senate they've
- 8:51Speaker 3: been Democrats there. This gives me the resolve to not
- 8:55Speaker 3: let him just close it up. They closed it up
- 8:57Speaker 3: and they turned it over to Suffolk County, but I'm
- 9:00Speaker 3: there are transcripts, there are historical periodicals that were kept.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Suffolk County has had more cancer rates per capita per
- 9:11Speaker 3: person than anywhere else in New York State, and that
- 9:15Speaker 3: includes your love canal. Remember going on your way up
- 9:18Speaker 3: to Niagara Falls, which was a toxic wasteland, and I believe,
- 9:23Speaker 3: without having documentary evidence that some of that may have
- 9:25Speaker 3: come from the pathogens that were created on Plum Island.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Would they representative being Nick Lolota, Yeah, now he would, Yeah.
- 9:33Speaker 3: And because getting a representative to push for this because
- 9:38Speaker 3: this would be federal and it would have to be federal.
- 9:40Speaker 3: I think it's a wonderful idea, and I think that
- 9:43Speaker 3: you can champion that, but you need a congressman to
- 9:46Speaker 3: be by your.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Side, you know what.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I think.
- 9:49Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go to mister Maha himself, who has
- 9:53Speaker 3: always broken all the traditional ways of looking at these things,
- 9:57Speaker 3: Robert F. Kennedy Junior. I've had a love hate relationship
- 10:00Speaker 3: with him over the years. I think if you could
- 10:03Speaker 3: if we could get him to open up an investigation.
- 10:06Speaker 3: But what happened all those years? Why were people restricted
- 10:09Speaker 3: from going there? Why do they have this golling crossbones?
- 10:13Speaker 3: Why did you openly acknowledge that it was a secret
- 10:16Speaker 3: German laboratory. We're not talking about Wan, We're talking about
- 10:19Speaker 3: in Suffolk County, which has had this unbelievable cancery. People
- 10:23Speaker 3: have contacted cancer and I have never ever quite figured
- 10:28Speaker 3: it out. I always thought that Plum Island played a
- 10:31Speaker 3: role in it. Now that this has happened, I have
- 10:35Speaker 3: the motivation to dig and bring it to RFK Junior.
- 10:38Speaker 3: You know, he breaks all conventional boundaries when it comes
- 10:41Speaker 3: to this.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Now. Remember that's a great idea, by the way, and
- 10:44Speaker 1: I wish you're luck with that and anything I can do,
- 10:46Speaker 1: just let me know. Coming up next, we had the
- 10:50Speaker 1: UFC fight at the White House now in Washington, d C.
- 10:55Speaker 1: The Freedom two point fifty Grand Prix will tell you
- 10:58Speaker 1: all about it. They had a big press conference yesterday,
- 11:01Speaker 1: plus a chance to see Deep Purple in Kansas coming

- 12:35Speaker 1: right past the Washington Monument with cars traveling up to
- 12:39Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty miles per hour. They have stands
- 12:45Speaker 1: all along the route. This is gonna happen August twenty
- 12:49Speaker 1: second and twenty third. Now, they held a news conference
- 12:53Speaker 1: yesterday to talk about this, and guess who was the
- 12:56Speaker 1: lead of the news conference. The Secret Serve his deputy director,
- 13:01Speaker 1: Matthew Quinn. Because they're really concerned about security. Remember when
- 13:05Speaker 1: they had the UFC fight, there was a plot, a
- 13:09Speaker 1: homegrown terrorist plot, So they're ready this time.
- 13:13Speaker 5: You're gonna see a very high level of uniform presence
- 13:17Speaker 5: throughout the city and around this event. Secret Service agents,
- 13:21Speaker 5: Secret Service police officers, MPD, US Park Police, FBI, cross
- 13:25Speaker 5: the board. You're going to see a large uniform presence there.
- 13:29Speaker 5: You won't have to look far to get help.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Now, you remember the last time there was a plot,
- 13:33Speaker 1: and that was the UFC fight, they were going to
- 13:35Speaker 1: use drones. They're very aware of those drones.
- 13:39Speaker 5: Now, if you think that flying a drone to get
- 13:42Speaker 5: a great view at this event. I would think twice
- 13:45Speaker 5: in the most restricted airspace in the country or in
- 13:48Speaker 5: the world. Leave them at home. There will be lots
- 13:52Speaker 5: of scene and unseen countermeasures deployed throughout the city to
- 13:56Speaker 5: make sure that this goes off without a hitch.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I think this is really cool. I would I have
- 14:03Speaker 1: never been to a race like this.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Formula one, Well, this is what I would recommend, because
- 14:09Speaker 3: the president does pay tribute to tradition. We've got Mario
- 14:14Speaker 3: Andretti Senior who now lives in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Remember he
- 14:18Speaker 3: was from me Tyli. He trained his son, Mario Andretti Junr.
- 14:22Speaker 3: To follow in his footsteps. Great Formula one drivers, local guys.
- 14:27Speaker 3: They should be there and on a big jumbo tron,
- 14:30Speaker 3: which was part of the tradition of the wide world
- 14:32Speaker 3: of sports. Kirk Gowdy, you know the thrill of victory,
- 14:36Speaker 3: the agony of defeat.
- 14:37Speaker 4: You'd see the Formula.
- 14:38Speaker 3: One cars crashing at Monaco wherever STP is the race's edge.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Andy Grant it telling you used to support Formula one racing.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Remember there was a time in America everybody felt they
- 14:51Speaker 3: had to have STP in their gas because of the water.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Yes you're saying I'll tell you what you're saying this
- 14:58Speaker 1: and I don't know if you Oh, but they're good friends,
- 15:02Speaker 1: Mario and Andretti and Trump. If you go to the
- 15:04Speaker 1: internet right now, you're gonna.
- 15:05Speaker 3: See we have anna not only Mariosen but also Mario
- 15:10Speaker 3: Junior and his entire racing team and family.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen. I think you put your
- 15:16Speaker 1: finger on it. I got a feeling that's already in
- 15:18Speaker 1: the works because they're close.
- 15:19Speaker 3: This could help midterm elections in Pennsylvania. As said, Hey, Mario,
- 15:25Speaker 3: that's happening. No, No, that's Mario CMA. I got the wrong, Mario.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Well, the topic of the day, of course, are the
- 15:32Speaker 1: Fauci hearings, and that's what your talkbacks have been about today.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Instead of an apology you have for years before.
- 15:39Speaker 1: That's not it. That's Rampaul himself.
- 15:42Speaker 4: You don't need what a talkback we got hey about that.
- 15:47Speaker 6: Falci is responsible for all the debts there are by COVID,
- 15:50Speaker 6: never mind COMA what he did. Falci is really responsible
- 15:54Speaker 6: be chause you know what, he's the one that funded
- 15:56Speaker 6: the virus. There's no way around that. I got a friend.
- 15:59Speaker 6: He's missing her son growing up, you know, six years
- 16:02Speaker 6: out of his life. Before you know it, he's going
- 16:04Speaker 6: to be a teenager. She's missing all the fun of
- 16:06Speaker 6: playing with him because she's got long term COVID. Who's
- 16:10Speaker 6: going to be responsible, not Fauci.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Yeah, the effect on kids is the worst part of this.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I mean, people dying, of course is horrible, but the kids.
- 16:19Speaker 1: And they just bent the knee to the teachers' union.
- 16:23Speaker 1: That was all because of the teachers not wanting to
- 16:26Speaker 1: go to work during that. It had nothing to do
- 16:28Speaker 1: with the kids because, as we now know, they had
- 16:31Speaker 1: a slim chance of getting it. Of course we weren't
- 16:34Speaker 1: told that at the time.
- 16:35Speaker 7: This whole Fauci thing. Why did it take so long?
- 16:39Speaker 7: President Trump would have been vindicated way in the past.
- 16:44Speaker 7: He had his doubts. Everybody was always against Trump and
- 16:48Speaker 7: in favor of Fauci. Now he's eighty six years old.
- 16:52Speaker 8: What are you going to do to an old man
- 16:54Speaker 8: like that?
- 16:55Speaker 7: Yes, Lance, embarrass him and maybe take away his money.
- 17:00Speaker 1: What we found out from the diary is he was
- 17:03Speaker 1: purposely trying to undermine Trump and embarrass him. Now let's
- 17:07Speaker 1: get to Daria Albinger with the eight to thirty newsed area.
- 17:10Speaker 9: There are new calls Larry for stronger e bike laws
- 17:13Speaker 9: after a crash in Lower Manhattan yesterday killed a Brooklyn
- 17:16Speaker 9: teenager who was riding one. The seventeen year old was
- 17:19Speaker 9: not wearing a helmet. He was also riding a deep
- 17:21Speaker 9: power electric bike, which is illegal because it can go
- 17:24Speaker 9: faster than the city's fifteen mile per hour speed limit.
- 17:27Speaker 9: The US has launched another round of air strikes on Iran.
- 17:30Speaker 9: Sentcom says they were in response to Tuesday's Iranian attacks
- 17:33Speaker 9: on US forces in the Middle East. Those strikes come
- 17:36Speaker 9: after President Trump told reporters yesterday the US would hit
- 17:40Speaker 9: Iran hard. Iran is expecting the first shipment of hand
- 17:43Speaker 9: held launchers from China in a matter of weeks. Reuter
- 17:46Speaker 9: says Tehran purchased about four hundred of the shoulder fired
- 17:49Speaker 9: air defense systems along with Chinese missiles, for about seventy
- 17:52Speaker 9: million dollars. Well, it seems shame works when it comes
- 17:56Speaker 9: to obeying alternate side rules. The city is going to
- 17:59Speaker 9: startling those big stickers on vehicles again that don't move
- 18:03Speaker 9: their cars in time. That's in addition to the sixty
- 18:06Speaker 9: five dollars ticket. The city stopped using the stickers back
- 18:09Speaker 9: in twenty twelve, figuring embarrassing drivers wasn't enough to get
- 18:12Speaker 9: them to move their cars. Apparently it was Next News
- 18:15Speaker 9: nine o'clock bulletins at Once. I'm Daria Albinger on seven
- 18:18Speaker 9: to ten.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Wor congratulations to a Stella Pharisian who just want a
- 18:24Speaker 3: pair of tickets to see Deep Purple in Kansas. That's
- 18:27Speaker 3: August twelfth at Northwell Jones Beach Theater. Tickets are on
- 18:30Speaker 3: sale at ticketmaster dot com. Another chance to win tomorrow
- 18:35Speaker 3: at eight twenty five.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Up next.
- 18:38Speaker 3: They call it to Pier a teartax. It's a second
- 18:42Speaker 3: home tax. It was part of my campaign Familier, so
- 18:46Speaker 3: I'll be able to break down both sides of this
- 18:48Speaker 3: issue that keeps growing and growing and growing. Minute Natalie,
- 18:54Speaker 3: our entire audience out there, you hear this term pie
- 18:58Speaker 3: the teartax, and you say, well, what does that mean.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Let's just cut the French and go to the English.
- 19:06Speaker 3: It's a second home tax. And it became a contentious
- 19:10Speaker 3: issue between the newly elected Zaron Mondami, the mayor, and
- 19:14Speaker 3: Governor Hokel who's running for reelection. So if you remember
- 19:19Speaker 3: there for a while, Zoron Mondami was screaming that he
- 19:22Speaker 3: was going to raise property taxes throughout New York City,
- 19:26Speaker 3: maybe up an additional eight percent. Oo Man, So they
- 19:31Speaker 3: compromised on the second home tax. And what that does
- 19:36Speaker 3: is give you an example the way it used to work,
- 19:39Speaker 3: although it is now flipped, is that for quite some
- 19:43Speaker 3: time Larry and this included people in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut,
- 19:47Speaker 3: New York, they will have their primary residence up here
- 19:51Speaker 3: in the northeast, and then in the winter they would
- 19:54Speaker 3: have their secondary residence down in Florida. Now a lot
- 19:58Speaker 3: of people have done it in reverse. They have their
- 20:00Speaker 3: primary residence down in Florida and they have a secondary
- 20:04Speaker 3: residence here. Let's be specific to New York City because
- 20:09Speaker 3: that's where it has gone into effect a second home tax.
- 20:12Speaker 3: So it could be a one or three story family home.
- 20:16Speaker 3: It could be a condo, it could be a co op.
- 20:20Speaker 3: And for a while there there were three reasons people
- 20:24Speaker 3: would want it to be able to come back to
- 20:25Speaker 3: New York. Maybe do business, go see a shell here
- 20:28Speaker 3: and not rent a hotel room. Or for family and
- 20:31Speaker 3: friends who wanted to come into New York. People want
- 20:33Speaker 3: to always come into New York to be able to
- 20:35Speaker 3: utilize or as an investment, so you can flip the property.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Because you've flipped the property, it's great. Real estate is
- 20:42Speaker 3: a great investment. It's always going up, it's never going down.
- 20:45Speaker 3: So the mayor got his wish, and the other day
- 20:49Speaker 3: it's as if it was the old David Letterman show.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Remember you've got mail. So the emails went out to
- 20:56Speaker 3: so many people telling them that they would have to
- 20:59Speaker 3: be paying a second home tax, and there was a
- 21:04Speaker 3: way to appeal that process, but it was coming up
- 21:06Speaker 3: at a roppy doll towards the end of August where
- 21:09Speaker 3: people are like in a panic, Wait a second, I
- 21:12Speaker 3: don't have a secondary resident. It's what the hell are
- 21:14Speaker 3: you talking about? And now it's been followed up by
- 21:18Speaker 3: the snail mail United States Postal Service. The letters are
- 21:22Speaker 3: on their way to people who have a second home.
- 21:24Speaker 3: If the home is worth of one or three family
- 21:27Speaker 3: home more than five million dollars, right, But if it
- 21:31Speaker 3: is a co op or a condo worth one million dollars,
- 21:34Speaker 3: you're included too. The problem here is twofold. The City
- 21:40Speaker 3: Department of Finance publishes the names and addresses associated with
- 21:45Speaker 3: close to one million properties normally in the city, so
- 21:48Speaker 3: you're already on the rolls. But this is a new tax,
- 21:52Speaker 3: so obviously you're on the rolls. A lot of people
- 21:55Speaker 3: didn't expect this, but way more letters went out in
- 21:58Speaker 3: emails it should have, so people are getting what are
- 22:01Speaker 3: you talking about. I'll use one example in our neighborhood.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Everybody by now knows who Gail Brewer is. She's a
- 22:08Speaker 3: perpetually elected official from the Upper West Side. She was
- 22:12Speaker 3: first in city council, then she ran for the state
- 22:14Speaker 3: legislature and won, and now she's back in city council
- 22:17Speaker 3: because you have term liberts in the city council. I
- 22:20Speaker 3: know this personally because Nancy ran against her as a
- 22:23Speaker 3: Republican candidate in twenty twenty one when I ran for
- 22:26Speaker 3: mayor and lost to Eric Adams. She lives in this
- 22:29Speaker 3: brownstone since nineteen ninety four. It's like five stores. It's
- 22:34Speaker 3: been part of her She has no additional properties. She
- 22:37Speaker 3: got sided. Now other people you would expect to get sited.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Commerce Secreatella, Howard Lutnick Woody, Allen Spike, Lee Bildeblasio. Yeah,
- 22:46Speaker 3: he's got two buildings in the Slop Park slope Cynthia
- 22:49Speaker 3: Nixon the most likely suspects, but other people were saying,
- 22:54Speaker 3: wait a second, I don't have a second property. I
- 22:59Speaker 3: don't have a tear or a second home. Why am
- 23:03Speaker 3: I getting these emails? Why am I getting these letters?
- 23:06Speaker 3: And wait a second, your appeals process so for a
- 23:10Speaker 3: residential property like a one or three family home up
- 23:13Speaker 3: until August twenty first, you don't get your appeal in
- 23:16Speaker 3: tough newgies August twenty fourth. For co ops and condos
- 23:21Speaker 3: so poorly rolled out, both Hokel and Zorhamandami have to
- 23:26Speaker 3: take responsibility for this. He could not have done this
- 23:29Speaker 3: without the green light from the state. So it is
- 23:32Speaker 3: michigotsh It is a real mess at this point in
- 23:35Speaker 3: terms of how they introduced it to the population that'll
- 23:39Speaker 3: be affected by it.
- 23:40Speaker 1: And it's completely embarrassing. You're absolutely right, it's unbelievably embarrassing.
- 23:45Speaker 1: But everything he's done so far has rolled out wrong,
- 23:48Speaker 1: and he always seems to play ketchup on these things.
- 23:51Speaker 1: He screws it up in the beginning, and then he
- 23:53Speaker 1: plays ketch up, and then when he does something that's
- 23:56Speaker 1: a little bit okay, it's like, oh, finally he got
- 23:58Speaker 1: it right and he gets prayed for it. But the
- 24:02Speaker 1: media has done a wonderful job with this. If you've
- 24:04Speaker 1: been watching the TV stations, they've been going around and
- 24:08Speaker 1: getting people that got this notice and had their name
- 24:12Speaker 1: publicly put out there who never should have been put
- 24:15Speaker 1: on the list. There was one person in Queen's that
- 24:17Speaker 1: they had on the CBS station locally WCBS, and this
- 24:23Speaker 1: was a guy that's living on a pension that got
- 24:26Speaker 1: his house that was handed down to him, living on
- 24:28Speaker 1: a pension and living on Social Security, and he can't
- 24:31Speaker 1: figure out why he got this. He's never ever had
- 24:35Speaker 1: a second home. But maybe the funniest one is Veto Facilla,
- 24:41Speaker 1: the borough president in Staten Island.
- 24:43Speaker 10: In my case, it's the house I grew up in
- 24:45Speaker 10: that my father lives. We are people are the same name.
- 24:48Speaker 10: He owns it and I have my house. The danger
- 24:50Speaker 10: is it's almost like an enemy's list that's being created. Right,
- 24:53Speaker 10: the whole notion of a property is a bad thing.
- 24:57Speaker 10: That the American dream is actually now American nightmare.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of it. But the biggest problem is
- 25:02Speaker 1: they keep making mistakes and now these poor people who
- 25:06Speaker 1: never should have gotten the notice in the first place,
- 25:08Speaker 1: have to go through this legal rigamarole to get off
- 25:12Speaker 1: the list and show them what there's a mistake.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Mistakes always happened with government. It's not like private enterprise
- 25:18Speaker 3: where if you make a mistake you pay a severe price.
- 25:21Speaker 3: In terms of business, they have to publicize the taxable
- 25:26Speaker 3: properties twice a year. That's by law. Here you could
- 25:31Speaker 3: rescind it, you can roll it back, say hey, they've
- 25:33Speaker 3: been problem and nobody ever once who admit they had problems.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Both Hokl and Johan on this roll it back, take
- 25:41Speaker 3: a deep breath, reinvestigate, redig their r rules and regulations
- 25:47Speaker 3: and the reason why you would want these properties published, Larry,
- 25:51Speaker 3: if you were investing in real estate, which a lot
- 25:53Speaker 3: of people do in New York because it's always gonna
- 25:56Speaker 3: pay dividends, you'd want to know if there's any tax
- 26:00Speaker 3: debt on that property because guess what, do you buy
- 26:02Speaker 3: it and you didn't.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Know about it, sucker, you will go to pay it.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I get it.
- 26:08Speaker 4: There are reasons that happens with condos.
- 26:10Speaker 1: So but to say that there's always mistakes in government,
- 26:15Speaker 1: that there shouldn't be these mistakes, this is every time
- 26:18Speaker 1: he does something there's big mistakes. Tell tell the twenty
- 26:21Speaker 1: two people that died when he didn't clear the streets.
- 26:23Speaker 1: I got it started with that.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Having dealt with the bureaucracy in New York City for years,
- 26:28Speaker 3: the dollars short in a day late. I remember when
- 26:31Speaker 3: Bloomberg raised the property taxes after nine eleven.
- 26:33Speaker 1: He had to do it.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Oh my god, the mistakes. So just take it. These things.
- 26:39Speaker 1: It's this attitude, this forgiving attitude, that never fixes a
- 26:42Speaker 1: problem that needs.
- 26:43Speaker 3: The elected officials when they screw up, whoever they are,
- 26:46Speaker 3: just we screwed up.
- 26:48Speaker 4: We're gonna correct it, we rescind it. Wait till you
- 26:51Speaker 4: get new letters.
- 26:52Speaker 1: That's it. That's not gonna happen. Happen. Yeah, Actually, that's
- 26:57Speaker 1: the problem. That's why they need to be constantly called out,
- 27:00Speaker 1: not say, well, mistakes always happen. It's gonna happen. That's
- 27:04Speaker 1: the mistake. That is the excuse of somebody that wants
- 27:07Speaker 1: to keep making mistakes.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Well, up next, she never makes a mistake because every
- 27:12Speaker 3: day she's pounding the streets on her beat.
- 27:14Speaker 4: Natalie MIGLIOI will bring it up to the streets. But boy,
- 27:20Speaker 4: you were.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Congressional hearings yesterday, nobody paid attention, and I get it.
- 27:23Speaker 3: It was Fauci. It was the Fauci Show. But they
- 27:27Speaker 3: were talking about all these people who had had AI
- 27:30Speaker 3: counterfeit the voice of their loved ones, and all of
- 27:33Speaker 3: a sudden they ended up paying money because they thought
- 27:35Speaker 3: they were in a distressful situation.
- 27:38Speaker 4: This is what I've been telling you now for weeks.

- 27:52Speaker 3: but anyone with a credit card can buy it, and

- 29:13Speaker 4: All it from myself.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I was in his mouthful, That's all I know.
- 29:18Speaker 12: The dude, you're showing down, pointing at each other. Who's
- 29:21Speaker 12: gonna who's gonna introduce her?
- 29:23Speaker 6: And why.
- 29:27Speaker 1: With us every day at this time, with her beat
- 29:30Speaker 1: on the street. No, I was ready to go. I
- 29:33Speaker 1: just I wanted him to do it.
- 29:35Speaker 8: You guys were playing the finger pointing game.
- 29:38Speaker 4: I took the Fifth Amendment.
- 29:40Speaker 3: There you go, because I did not want to incriminate
- 29:43Speaker 3: the fact that I was stuffing my mouth.
- 29:46Speaker 4: There you go.
- 29:47Speaker 8: So Senate Republicans, there you go. We're gonna go.
- 29:50Speaker 12: With the Fifth Amendment because that's who we're talking about.
- 29:53Speaker 8: People. Doctor Anthony Fauci.
- 29:57Speaker 12: Invokes his Fifth Amendment right more than one hundred times
- 30:01Speaker 12: during a three hour congressional hearing related to the coronavirus pandemic.
- 30:04Speaker 8: Okay, a lot of people on.
- 30:06Speaker 12: The street this morning, they they don't really know what's
- 30:10Speaker 12: going on, but we did hear a lot of.
- 30:13Speaker 4: This on the Adviceive Council.
- 30:14Speaker 3: I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under
- 30:18Speaker 3: the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
- 30:21Speaker 12: And yeah, so you're saying New Yorkers repleating the fifties.
- 30:24Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty much.
- 30:25Speaker 4: In a sense.
- 30:26Speaker 12: And you know that would make Senate Republicans very unhappy
- 30:30Speaker 12: because they're planning to vote next week to hold Fauci
- 30:33Speaker 12: in contempt of Congress.
- 30:34Speaker 8: Now, I feel like.
- 30:36Speaker 12: A lot of people were following in his footsteps this morning.
- 30:39Speaker 10: Right.
- 30:39Speaker 12: Maybe they're just ready to move past the coronavirus pandemic.
- 30:43Speaker 8: They don't really want to talk about that time in
- 30:44Speaker 8: their life.
- 30:45Speaker 12: But those who did talk to me say they consider
- 30:49Speaker 12: how COVID was handled.
- 30:51Speaker 13: I think, yeah, we could have handled COVID better.
- 30:54Speaker 8: Absolutely, what keeps.
- 30:56Speaker 1: It on your mind?
- 30:57Speaker 14: Because it's something I've always happened. Again, think that the
- 31:01Speaker 14: way we handled it was the best way to handle it,
- 31:03Speaker 14: you know. I mean we didn't rush anything. You know,
- 31:06Speaker 14: we took our time, you know, when we opened back up.
- 31:11Speaker 14: You know, I think everybody you know act accordingly well.
- 31:14Speaker 12: Kentucky Senator Ran Paul released what he called Fauci's diary
- 31:18Speaker 12: from the pandemic. Republicans claim was deliberately downplaying where COVID
- 31:23Speaker 12: nineteen originated from. When people heard about Fauci taking the
- 31:29Speaker 12: fifth that's not good.
- 31:31Speaker 1: He should have spoke.
- 31:32Speaker 14: I think his opinion matters. Think we need to know
- 31:35Speaker 14: what he thinks, you know, him exercising the Fifth Amendment
- 31:38Speaker 14: as a way of avoiding the important question is that,
- 31:41Speaker 14: you know, we need answers to well.
- 31:43Speaker 13: I think that that in itself shows give quote transparency
- 31:48Speaker 13: if you feel as though you handled things correctly. I
- 31:52Speaker 13: think the evidence they didn't handle it correctly. Now, I
- 31:56Speaker 13: think they knew more than they did and didn't handle
- 31:58Speaker 13: the people who had COVID the way they should have.
- 32:01Speaker 12: But you've got to keep in mind doctor Fauci was
- 32:04Speaker 12: pardoned by the Biden administration of all federal charges that
- 32:07Speaker 12: could come against him, but he's not protected from state charges.
- 32:12Speaker 8: We were talking about that this morning.
- 32:13Speaker 12: So if he's not answering these kinds of questions to
- 32:16Speaker 12: protect himself.
- 32:18Speaker 8: Do people think this is an admission of guilt?
- 32:22Speaker 7: Absolutely?
- 32:23Speaker 13: Absolutely, But I think along with him, Congress should be
- 32:26Speaker 13: I think they had their hands all in it as well.
- 32:29Speaker 1: I think it probably not the hard unsure right.
- 32:33Speaker 12: I'm sure how to answer it at this point, because
- 32:35Speaker 12: Florida's attorney general announced he's launching his own investigation into
- 32:40Speaker 12: doctor Fauci, and one New Yorker says everyone should have
- 32:45Speaker 12: to answer to the law on this.
- 32:46Speaker 13: Everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes. And they
- 32:50Speaker 13: didn't give full transparency and didn't handle it correctly, and
- 32:54Speaker 13: as a result, a lot of people died. So I
- 32:57Speaker 13: think that all those who were a part of that
- 33:01Speaker 13: should be held accountable on a federal level. US. Ordinary
- 33:05Speaker 13: people get held accountable when we do something wrong.
- 33:09Speaker 3: That's right. That's why I want to see a daisy
- 33:11Speaker 3: chain purple leaning it. Doctor Fauci attached to Andreui evilized
- 33:16Speaker 3: como and then half in the bag Murphya and then
- 33:18Speaker 3: comrade Buildeblasio, the part time may had the dope from
- 33:20Speaker 3: Park Slope smoking, Maui Wowie, and Hindukush because they were
- 33:24Speaker 3: all gonna point to Fauci. I did what I did
- 33:27Speaker 3: because it was under the advice of Fauci.
- 33:31Speaker 4: Put them all together, sent them the jail.
- 33:34Speaker 12: Come on, Natalie, do you remember when Deblasio sat in
- 33:37Speaker 12: a press conference and told people they would get free
- 33:40Speaker 12: shake shack forgetting the COVID vaccine?
- 33:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and you were online, right, and we were all we.
- 33:46Speaker 8: Were all No, I wasn't online.
- 33:48Speaker 12: I was online watching his press conference because that's where
- 33:51Speaker 12: all the press conferences were at the time.
- 33:53Speaker 8: Everything went online.
- 33:54Speaker 12: That's how we really digitized and really where all this
- 33:57Speaker 12: virtual meetings and stuff came in. And that that's really
- 34:00Speaker 12: where that pin that where we pinpoint the change in
- 34:04Speaker 12: digitizing the world.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Everybody learned how to use zoom. Remember that, everybody learned
- 34:09Speaker 1: how to use it.
- 34:09Speaker 11: Every day we had to look at that le streak,
- 34:21Speaker 11: white bread, thank you lecturing us.
- 34:24Speaker 3: So, while Fauci was writing his daily diary notes, Andrew
- 34:29Speaker 3: Cuomo was having his staff write his books.
- 34:34Speaker 8: Remember the big Q tip though the tester.
- 34:38Speaker 4: That's great up.
- 34:41Speaker 1: Natalie or he'll be back with us tomorrow at the
- 34:44Speaker 1: very same time with her beat on the street. When
- 34:47Speaker 1: we come back, we've been playing the greatest hits of
- 34:51Speaker 1: the Fauci hearing up next Ron Johnson. Plus listen for
- 34:55Speaker 1: the keyword after the nine o'clock news, Then head to
