0:56
Speaker 2: We have bad news. The inflation number came out. It's down.
1:00
Speaker 2: It's down again, it's down every time. It's down to
1:03
Speaker 2: two point four percent. Now you'll see if you're watching
1:07
Speaker 2: fake news CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, they'll say, well,
1:10
Speaker 2: two point four percent is it's not good. It's a good.
1:13
Speaker 2: Remember when it was nine percent under Joe Biden, they
1:16
Speaker 2: didn't mention it. Remember was six percent under Joe Biden,
1:19
Speaker 2: eight percent, nine percent, there was no cause for alarm.
1:22
Speaker 2: But two point four percent, it's very bad. No, that's
1:25
Speaker 2: that's very good, very good. It's down and the core
1:27
Speaker 2: inflation number is down as well, which is which is
1:30
Speaker 2: even more important. So that's very good news. President at
1:36
Speaker 2: the White House, but soon leaving for Fort Bragg where
1:39
Speaker 2: he'll speak to the troops. Then after that he'll head
1:43
Speaker 2: to Florida to Palm Beach Tomorrow a Lago three day weekend.
1:46
Speaker 2: He'll be there all weekend, and tonight he has a
1:50
Speaker 2: private dinner there with somebody at mar A Lago. And
1:52
Speaker 2: then tomorrow night it's the whole crowd, all the Jentas,
1:56
Speaker 2: the all the members of mar Alago, the whole howe
2:00
Speaker 2: ill crowd will all be there chasing him around the room. Hey,
2:03
Speaker 2: you got another government shutdown most likely coming at midnight tonight.
2:08
Speaker 2: Yesterday the Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, voted down any
2:14
Speaker 2: chance of reopening the government. They voted for shutdown. Another
2:17
Speaker 2: Schumer shutdown is coming. Now. The good news is the
2:24
Speaker 2: important stuff. A lot of this is over Department of
2:27
Speaker 2: Homeland Security, but included in that is the Coastguard, FEMA TSA.
2:32
Speaker 2: Now most of these elements, like TSA, they've got enough
2:38
Speaker 2: funding to keep going for a month or so, so
2:40
Speaker 2: they got about a month to sell. There's enough money
2:42
Speaker 2: to pay everybody and make the payroll. But Schumer loves
2:45
Speaker 2: these shutdowns.
2:46
Speaker 3: Today's strong vote was a shot across the bow to Republicans.
2:51
Speaker 2: Democrats will not support a blank check for chaos. I
2:58
Speaker 2: love when he gets passionate, passionate. He puts on the
3:01
Speaker 2: big glasses. He's got these new big, big, clunky, clunky glasses,
3:06
Speaker 2: and he's so passionate. He whatever he's saying, it's typed
3:09
Speaker 2: out on an index card. Just even with the big glasses,
3:13
Speaker 2: they still have to use a large font. So they
3:16
Speaker 2: type it out on an index card, and he reads
3:20
Speaker 2: that card like this. It's like some passionate statement. But
3:25
Speaker 2: he reads it like this off the index card, and
3:29
Speaker 2: it's not like he practices it or anything. They hand
3:32
Speaker 2: him the card sometimes they're driving somewhere. They give it
3:35
Speaker 2: to him in the car. He looks at it for
3:36
Speaker 2: a second and then he reads it like this, and
3:40
Speaker 2: this has been going on for thirty forty years. Maybe
3:43
Speaker 2: he got away with this in the eighties, but it's
3:46
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. People know better, you know, people realize
3:50
Speaker 2: what a stiff this guy is, What a plastic phony
3:53
Speaker 2: stiff of a old fossil of an old dinosaur, old
3:57
Speaker 2: fashioned politician. Who really got to get rid of this guy? No,
4:00
Speaker 2: you can't run for reelection, but I think you're stuck
4:02
Speaker 2: with him till I think it's twenty twenty eight. So
4:07
Speaker 2: expect to shut down over the weekend. I keep telling
4:09
Speaker 2: you this because you otherwise it wouldn't notice. How the
4:11
Speaker 2: hell would you notice? The government shuts down every weekend anyway, So, hey,
4:16
Speaker 2: a big thing happened yesterday. This is going to make
4:18
Speaker 2: a big difference in people's lives. President Trump and Secretary
4:24
Speaker 2: of Energy Lee Zelden have gotten rid of all the
4:28
Speaker 2: Obama ridiculous climate change nonsense regulations. There was a massive
4:34
Speaker 2: amount of these anti greenhouse gas policies. What it did
4:40
Speaker 2: was it drove up the price of everything. It drove
4:42
Speaker 2: up the price of your car a couple thousand dollars,
4:46
Speaker 2: It drove up the price of gas everything. So they
4:49
Speaker 2: finally got it all dumped yesterday. They've gotten rid of
4:53
Speaker 2: all this Obama era anti greenhouse gas. Now you might think, well,
4:57
Speaker 2: wait a minute, don't we need that. Isn't that stopping
5:01
Speaker 2: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide coming out of vehicles?
5:05
Speaker 2: And yeah, but it didn't do anything. It had no effect,
5:09
Speaker 2: zero effect on the environment, zero effect on climate. In fact,
5:13
Speaker 2: climate change got worse with these regulations. It had absolutely
5:16
Speaker 2: no effect. And by getting rid of it, this is
5:20
Speaker 2: great news. It'll save one point three trillion dollars one
5:25
Speaker 2: point three trillion, about four thousand dollars per US resident,
5:31
Speaker 2: and the average car cost will now be twenty four
5:34
Speaker 2: hundred dollars less, so a car, average price of a
5:37
Speaker 2: car go down twenty four one hundred dollars. That's great news.
5:41
Speaker 2: President talking about it yesterday.
5:43
Speaker 4: His EPA designated fossil fuels such as oil, guess and
5:52
Speaker 4: other things that actually make factories rock and roll and
5:58
Speaker 4: other things drive very nice as a threat to health
6:02
Speaker 4: and human welfare.
6:03
Speaker 2: You see, I don't like when he talks slow and
6:05
Speaker 2: it's a little shumerash. You gotta talk a little faster.
6:07
Speaker 2: But it's important. It's a big breakthrough you're going to
6:10
Speaker 2: save a lot of money because of this.
6:11
Speaker 5: Respective Immediately we're repealing the ridiculous endangerment finding and terminating
6:16
Speaker 5: all additional green emission standards imposed unnecessarily on vehicle models
6:22
Speaker 5: and engines between twenty twelve and twenty twenty seven and beyond.
6:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was ridiculous these regulations, and again, climate change
6:30
Speaker 2: got worse under these regulations. It did absolutely nothing to help.
6:33
Speaker 2: All it did was drive up the price of everything
6:36
Speaker 2: for everybody.
6:37
Speaker 5: This action will limit it over one point three trillion
6:39
Speaker 5: dollars of regulatory costs and help.
6:41
Speaker 4: Bring car prices tumbling down dramatically.
6:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, the Nancy Guthrie case, I don't know. I
6:49
Speaker 2: don't know. It's day thirteen, now day thirteen. You know,
6:53
Speaker 2: she needs medicine. She has certain medications she has to
6:56
Speaker 2: take every day for her heart, for blood pressure, that
6:59
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. It's now thirteen days without that medication.
7:03
Speaker 2: Thirteen days without it. Doctors have said, well, you could
7:06
Speaker 2: go a couple of weeks. Well we're at a couple
7:07
Speaker 2: of weeks without it. Not to mention she has a pacemaker.
7:11
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know what to think.
7:13
Speaker 2: They've uped the reward. It was fifty thousand dollars for information.
7:16
Speaker 2: Now it's one hundred thousand. A lot of people pointing
7:19
Speaker 2: out that's a pretty chintzy reward. A lot of people
7:23
Speaker 2: saying it should be two hundred and fifty thousand, a
7:26
Speaker 2: million dollars. I mean, for the biggest case in the
7:28
Speaker 2: world right now, kidnapping, it's a chintzy. Chintzy is fifty
7:33
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, but they raise it to one hundred thousand. Now,
7:35
Speaker 2: maybe they don't want to do a big, huge reward
7:38
Speaker 2: because they don't want, you know, get the reward too big.
7:40
Speaker 2: Everybody in the world starts making all kinds of claims
7:43
Speaker 2: on it, and you get too many false tips. So far,
7:46
Speaker 2: they've got eighteen hundred or is it eighteen thousand something like,
7:50
Speaker 2: some ridiculous number of tips have come in. It takes
7:52
Speaker 2: an incredible amount of manpower to run that down. There's
7:56
Speaker 2: a one problem, and there's a fight between the FBI
8:00
Speaker 2: and the local sheriff over custody of the evidence and
8:04
Speaker 2: testing of the evidence. You know, they found a glove,
8:06
Speaker 2: they found this, They found that they might have found
8:08
Speaker 2: some DNA. You want to send that to the FBI.
8:12
Speaker 2: Crime lab in Quantico, state of the art, best lab
8:15
Speaker 2: to analyze this stuff. The local sheriff would not give
8:18
Speaker 2: the stuff to the FBI, and instead they used the
8:21
Speaker 2: lab they use, which is some lab in Florida, some
8:24
Speaker 2: private lab which is probably not as good. Local sheriff
8:29
Speaker 2: denying all of this, I mean, he admits he sent
8:31
Speaker 2: it to this other lab, but denying that he didn't
8:34
Speaker 2: coordinate with the FBI. But he but the truth is
8:36
Speaker 2: he didn't and he's saying, when it comes back from
8:39
Speaker 2: the Florida lab, the FBI can take it to Quantico. Well,
8:43
Speaker 2: first of all, what a delay. And second of all,
8:46
Speaker 2: you lose the DNA. You know, when you get a
8:47
Speaker 2: DNA sample a drop of sweat or something like that,
8:51
Speaker 2: it's a very tiny, tiny sample and every time you
8:54
Speaker 2: test it, you'll lose a bunch of it. So there
8:56
Speaker 2: might after the testing in Florida, there might not be
8:59
Speaker 2: enough less left for a test by the FBI. So
9:03
Speaker 2: this local sheriff screwing things up like crazy. They put
9:06
Speaker 2: up that white tent in front of her house yesterday
9:10
Speaker 2: while they did something in there, they took some stuff
9:13
Speaker 2: out of the house again that could have been DNA samples.
9:16
Speaker 2: They took. They also removed that camera, that doorbell camera,
9:23
Speaker 2: that Google Nest camera. They took the camera, the housing everything,
9:27
Speaker 2: I don't know what. And maybe they think there's an
9:29
Speaker 2: image stored in there, or maybe they think there's DNA
9:32
Speaker 2: on there that they might be able to find. But
9:34
Speaker 2: they took it and the tent has come down. But
9:37
Speaker 2: we'll wait and see. It's thirteen days. It's a very
9:40
Speaker 2: very long time they had somebody, you know, kidnappers to
9:45
Speaker 2: hold somebody, So we'll see. Hey, Don Lemon goes to
9:49
Speaker 2: court today, two o'clock today. Don Lemon in Minnesota goes
9:53
Speaker 2: to court to get a rained. You know, he hired
9:55
Speaker 2: the big famous Washington DC lawyer, Abby Lowell. You know
10:00
Speaker 2: that's who represents the Clintons and the Hunter Biden. He's
10:02
Speaker 2: the big DC lawyer, big big lawyer, Abbie Lowell, a guy,
10:07
Speaker 2: Abby Lowell. And he's now added to his team a
10:11
Speaker 2: very serious criminal lawyer in Minnesota. So he's worried. He
10:17
Speaker 2: went out and hired a serious criminal lawyer. Now, when
10:20
Speaker 2: you're going to get indicted by the US Attorney's Office,
10:24
Speaker 2: usually whatever the town, that is the best lawyer you
10:27
Speaker 2: can get besides the best criminal lawyer. You want a
10:30
Speaker 2: guy who's a former prosecutor in that office, because nobody
10:34
Speaker 2: knows that office better than the former prosecutor, and he
10:37
Speaker 2: knows everybody there. He can work out a better deal
10:40
Speaker 2: for you. So that's what Lemon's done. He's hired a
10:43
Speaker 2: guy who was a federal prosecutor in that office for
10:45
Speaker 2: about seventeen years, who left and is now a private
10:49
Speaker 2: criminal lawyer. That's who Don Lemon is hired. So we'll
10:52
Speaker 2: see at two o'clock today what happens now. The Stonewall Inn,
11:00
Speaker 2: it's down in Greenwich Village and it was a bar,
11:03
Speaker 2: tavern whatever it is, a stonewall in, and it was
11:06
Speaker 2: a place where a lot of gay people hung out
11:09
Speaker 2: back in nineteen sixty eight, and this was you know,
11:11
Speaker 2: this is a different era back then, and there were
11:15
Speaker 2: a number of police raids and they built up this
11:19
Speaker 2: whole fake story that the reason for the police raids
11:23
Speaker 2: was because it was a gay place and they were
11:25
Speaker 2: all gay people there and they were harassing the gay people.
11:28
Speaker 2: This is actually not true, believe it or not. It
11:31
Speaker 2: was owned by the mob. It was owned by a
11:33
Speaker 2: big mob, a bunch of big mobsters, and the police
11:36
Speaker 2: were going after these mobsters. This is no secret. I mean,
11:39
Speaker 2: this is a matter of record. It was really these
11:42
Speaker 2: mobsters they were trying to get and they kept raiding
11:45
Speaker 2: the bar. They kept trying to get these mob guys
11:47
Speaker 2: on something, and they were major, major mobsters. But when
11:51
Speaker 2: they went down there to do the raids, the gay
11:52
Speaker 2: people in the bar, men and women started to organize
11:56
Speaker 2: and resist the cops. It looked kind of like Minnesota
12:00
Speaker 2: clashes and all of that. So somehow it became a
12:03
Speaker 2: landmark symbol of fighting for gay rights, even though the
12:06
Speaker 2: cops were there to get these mob guys and it
12:08
Speaker 2: was really a mobbed up place. I mean, the gay
12:10
Speaker 2: people had nothing to do with the mob, but that's
12:12
Speaker 2: really what it was all about. So it just became
12:15
Speaker 2: this fake symbol, this fake monument. Through the years, this
12:17
Speaker 2: whole myth built up that the cops were harassing the
12:20
Speaker 2: gay patrons, which is not true. So it was like
12:25
Speaker 2: this symbol of gay pride. And then through the years,
12:27
Speaker 2: somewhere it became a national landmark, which means it's under
12:31
Speaker 2: the control of the National Parks Department, Department of the Interior,
12:35
Speaker 2: and they had a gay pride flag up in front
12:38
Speaker 2: of it. Well the other day, earlier this week, the
12:42
Speaker 2: Department of the Interior said, we have rules, you know,
12:45
Speaker 2: only American flags on national government property, national parks. So
12:50
Speaker 2: they took down the Pride flag. And it's a good thing.
12:54
Speaker 2: I'm all for a Pride flag. I think that's fine
12:56
Speaker 2: to put it up there. But it's a good thing
12:57
Speaker 2: because you have to give these angry democrats something to do.
13:01
Speaker 2: Every week. They're all angry. They want to yell around
13:04
Speaker 2: and scream and run around and protest. They want to
13:06
Speaker 2: get mad, they want to go crazy. So you have
13:08
Speaker 2: to give them something to get mad about. Taking down
13:12
Speaker 2: the flag, give him something to do. This week, you know,
13:14
Speaker 2: Minnesota was kind of over. Tom Homan announced they're pulling out.
13:18
Speaker 2: So you got to give these people something to yell about.
13:20
Speaker 2: They enjoy being angry. This is their hobby, these democrats.
13:24
Speaker 2: They want to all these liberals, you have friends like this,
13:27
Speaker 2: They want to be angry. They like to watch MSNBC
13:29
Speaker 2: get all riled up about something, get furious, protests, go
13:33
Speaker 2: out and yell and scream, go online and make all
13:36
Speaker 2: kinds of crazy sticks. So you had to give them
13:38
Speaker 2: something to yell about. This was for the way. It's
13:40
Speaker 2: like a dog. You know, you got to keep throwing
13:42
Speaker 2: the ball, let them go catch it, throw it again,
13:44
Speaker 2: let them go catch. You gotta give the dog something
13:46
Speaker 2: to do. So it's the same thing with the left
13:48
Speaker 2: wing cooks. You got to give them something to do.
13:51
Speaker 2: So it gave him something to do. So yesterday, the mayor,
13:53
Speaker 2: the governor, everybody was behind this. They put up their
13:56
Speaker 2: own flag with their own pole in front of it,
13:59
Speaker 2: and it gave all the left wing cooks something to do.
14:02
Speaker 2: They go down around that flag pole, talk to reporters
14:05
Speaker 2: yelling the screen.
14:05
Speaker 6: We are reclaiming our space. It's reclaiming our people, it's
14:08
Speaker 6: reclaiming our culture. The flag has so much meaning behind it.
14:12
Speaker 6: The colors represent the diversity of our community. These are
14:15
Speaker 6: things that you can't take away from the community, which
14:18
Speaker 6: is why it's so important for us to raise it again.
14:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear me yelling in the no. The funniest
14:23
Speaker 2: thing they said, yes, said one of them. I don't
14:24
Speaker 2: have the clip, but one of them on TV and
14:26
Speaker 2: he said, you can't erase history. You can't erase history.
14:31
Speaker 2: This is the same crowd that took down every statue,
14:33
Speaker 2: changed the name of every Air Force base, took everybody's
14:36
Speaker 2: name of everything. They took down a million statues of people.
14:40
Speaker 2: You had to change the name of the school and
14:42
Speaker 2: air force base you could. All they do is a
14:44
Speaker 2: race history. Suddenly you can't erase history. You gotta give
14:47
Speaker 2: these people credit. Gotta give them credit. They can turn
14:50
Speaker 2: on a dime. They can flip flop whatever they're for.
14:53
Speaker 2: If Trump's for it, they're against it. If Trump's against it,
14:56
Speaker 2: they're for it. They just keep They're very, very versatile.
14:59
Speaker 2: They can just keep turning around. Hey, coming up, we'll
15:01
Speaker 2: get to we'll get to the big meeting. The mayor
15:05
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis, fry I, came to New York to meet

17:02
Speaker 10: or what the fire department comes and rescues me. How come,
17:06
Speaker 10: Nancy with the sick old lady, you don't have any
17:09
Speaker 10: of these precautions.
17:10
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Do you have an Apple Watch?
17:12
Speaker 10: I do not have because I can't. I have on
17:15
Speaker 10: a land line, I can't may have low vision marks
17:18
Speaker 10: navigate the apple because the good.
17:19
Speaker 2: Thing with the Apple Watch, if you fell, it will
17:22
Speaker 2: automatically call for help. It knows you fall.
17:25
Speaker 10: Okay, all right, that's better than what I have. I
17:28
Speaker 10: could wear it in the shower. You know what my
17:30
Speaker 10: son said to me when I told him, Michael, wear
17:32
Speaker 10: it in a shower. He said, he feels so sorry
17:35
Speaker 10: for any fireman got to see me naked in the shower.
17:39
Speaker 2: I bet you a million firemen have seen you naked
17:41
Speaker 2: through the kidding.
17:45
Speaker 10: Now you know, Mark, I'm in the shower. I know
17:47
Speaker 10: I have to worry about falling. I have to worry
17:49
Speaker 10: about being naked in the shower.
17:51
Speaker 2: All right, you're making everybody sick. You got to stop kidding. No,
17:56
Speaker 2: you know the good thing about that Apple Watch. If
17:58
Speaker 2: you fall, take a real fo it will automatically call
18:02
Speaker 2: for help. I know.
18:03
Speaker 10: It's better than what I have because I could knock
18:05
Speaker 10: myself unconscious and then I can't read.
18:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the Apple Watch would call. In fact, when
18:10
Speaker 2: you take a big fall, it says it's going to call,
18:13
Speaker 2: and unless you stop it, it makes the call. All right, Mara,
18:16
Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
18:19
Speaker 2: how you doing. Good morning, Mark's Mike.
18:23
Speaker 9: I forget the context. On Monday, you mentioned MERV Griffin
18:26
Speaker 9: and Mike Douglas and got me thinking about those two
18:29
Speaker 9: great old shows. You know, they were on the air
18:32
Speaker 9: between the two of them like forty five years and
18:34
Speaker 9: I went to IMDb and was looking up there guest list.
18:37
Speaker 9: It's unbelievable. I mean, from Jackie Mason to Jane Fonda,
18:41
Speaker 9: Charles Nelson Widley. I mean, Mike Douglas had John Lennon
18:43
Speaker 9: co host with him for a week, which is, you know,
18:46
Speaker 9: in today's day and age, you couldn't have a more
18:48
Speaker 9: diametrically opposed at least looking you know, characters Mike Douglas
18:52
Speaker 9: and John Lennon and also people forget the Dina had
18:56
Speaker 9: a show back then Every day was on. Yeah, you know, I.
19:00
Speaker 2: Was talking to Dick Cavot once about this because he
19:03
Speaker 2: was famous for having the biggest names in the world,
19:05
Speaker 2: names nobody else could get, like Catherine Hepburn and Marlon
19:08
Speaker 2: Brando and orson, all these unbelieable And he said, this
19:12
Speaker 2: is a couple of years ago. He said, he can't
19:14
Speaker 2: do it today because who would those names be today.
19:16
Speaker 2: There's nobody today that's a big star to everybody.
19:20
Speaker 9: It's true.
19:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like Bad Bunny, he's a big, big star.
19:23
Speaker 2: He's about the hottest selling recording artist. But half the
19:26
Speaker 2: population never heard of him. And so name is star
19:30
Speaker 2: that everybody would know or want to hear. Right now,
19:33
Speaker 2: there isn't There.
19:33
Speaker 7: Isn't as much social media.
19:35
Speaker 9: They don't really have to do those things, you know.
19:37
Speaker 9: That's the other thing, you know, you know, back in
19:39
Speaker 9: the day, even Jane Fine had to go on the
19:41
Speaker 9: Burt Griffin Show to get you know, you know, a
19:43
Speaker 9: movie talked about or whatever.
19:45
Speaker 2: She was like, yeah, that's the other thing. He used
19:46
Speaker 2: to go on those shows. You had to plug something.
19:48
Speaker 2: But right, yeah, all right, Mike, thanks for calling. It's
19:51
Speaker 2: a big problem today because they right here at iHeart,
19:56
Speaker 2: we have the five, six, seven biggest radio stations in
19:59
Speaker 2: the world right here on this floor. Now right over
20:01
Speaker 2: there's Power one five Breakfast Club, and down there is
20:04
Speaker 2: Light FM, and over there the Z one hundred, and
20:07
Speaker 2: they each have the biggest names for their audience coming
20:10
Speaker 2: up here every morning to do these shows. But for
20:14
Speaker 2: these three stations, don't know who the hell those guests are.
20:16
Speaker 2: Down there because it's not their format. They don't know
20:19
Speaker 2: those artists, and down there they don't know who's on
20:23
Speaker 2: this station because it's all splintered. There's nobody again. Bad
20:28
Speaker 2: Bunny is as big as you can get. He's the
20:30
Speaker 2: biggest music star in the world. But when he suddenly
20:32
Speaker 2: shows up at the super Bowl, you know, sixty percent
20:35
Speaker 2: of America dos know who the guy is. It's the
20:38
Speaker 2: same thing with well and everything. Even television. Nobody watches
20:43
Speaker 2: the same show. Every time you talk to oh, have
20:45
Speaker 2: you been watching Royal Palm? And I don't know what
20:48
Speaker 2: it is. You're not watching it. Every time they tell
20:51
Speaker 2: you about a TV show, you never heard of it.
20:54
Speaker 2: You know, if this were years ago, everybody watched Seinfeld,
20:57
Speaker 2: talked about it the next day, everybody watched Cheers. But
21:00
Speaker 2: if you took the ten top biggest streaming shows today,
21:05
Speaker 2: eighty percent of America's never seen them and they don't
21:07
Speaker 2: even know what they are. It's and you can't just
21:09
Speaker 2: watch them. You know, when they tell you you've got to
21:11
Speaker 2: watch this series, I do. You've got to watch them. Okay,
21:15
Speaker 2: how many it's twelve seasons, but you got to start
21:17
Speaker 2: from the beginning. You must watch from the beginning. Who
21:20
Speaker 2: has time to watch all this stuff? Hey, the president
21:22
Speaker 2: of Netflix was under fire. Oh no, it's the president
21:29
Speaker 2: of Instagram. Because they have this algorithm where they train
21:33
Speaker 2: you to keep watching, like they just waste all your time,
21:36
Speaker 2: keep watching and it's ruining kids. And he testified. He said,
21:41
Speaker 2: it's the same as Netflix or any streaming service. It's
21:43
Speaker 2: just binge watching. It's not our algorithm. People are in
21:46
Speaker 2: the habit of just binge watching. They just can't stop anymore.
21:49
Speaker 2: They're not disciplined like these. Well it could be, but hey,
21:52

30:56
Speaker 11: That it would be romantic if someone gave it to you. Go, well,
31:00
Speaker 11: that's really sweet.
31:01
Speaker 12: It's better than a glass wine that you'll you know,
31:03
Speaker 12: a bottle of wine that you drink or car the
31:05
Speaker 12: toss ser massage or and a cheap cappuccino machine. That
31:09
Speaker 12: would be my two gifts that I'm recommending for men.
31:12
Speaker 11: Don't bring us candy. It's fat ning. Don't bring us candy.
31:16
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's a good tip. All right, no candy.
31:18
Speaker 2: Forget the candy.
31:19
Speaker 12: Do not bring candy. It's bad because we don't. We're
31:21
Speaker 12: not gonna eat. It's gonna go stale, and you're gonna

33:00
Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Friday the thirteenth. We got a three
33:02
Speaker 2: day weekend coming up. You got five weeks until spring,
33:07
Speaker 2: that's all just five weeks. Spring training is already underway
33:10
Speaker 2: right now as we speak. You know, we have a
33:14
Speaker 2: US Attorney of the Southern District. That's the big one,
33:17
Speaker 2: the Southern District. That's Jay Clayton, doing an excellent job.
33:20
Speaker 2: But there's a Northern District which goes, you know from
33:23
Speaker 2: here upstate. The US Attorney for the Northern District had
33:28
Speaker 2: been a great guy who everybody, everybody loved. This guy
33:34
Speaker 2: doing a great job. John Sarcone. He's the US Attorney
33:38
Speaker 2: for the Northern District. He was not confirmed, he was appointed,
33:42
Speaker 2: but Sarcone is considered a great US attorney everybody's happy
33:45
Speaker 2: when they think he's doing a great job. Well, you
33:47
Speaker 2: got these crazy left wing judges here in New York.
33:49
Speaker 2: So they ruled that he can't be the US Attorney
33:52
Speaker 2: because he hasn't been confirmed yet and there's a temporary
33:56
Speaker 2: The judges decided to I'll appoint their own US Attorney
34:01
Speaker 2: for the Northern District. And they chose somebody and made
34:05
Speaker 2: him the US Attorney for the Northern District. And day one,
34:09
Speaker 2: President Trump fired him and said, judges don't pick US attorneys.
34:13
Speaker 2: The President does. So I think what Sarcone did was
34:16
Speaker 2: he made himself the number two guy, just to make
34:18
Speaker 2: sure he's still there because everybody thinks he's doing a
34:20
Speaker 2: great job. So hopefully the President will reappoint him as
34:25
Speaker 2: the US attorney. Hey, you know the beautiful Waldorf Astoria,
34:29
Speaker 2: the Waldorf Hotel, one of the great landmarks in New York.
34:32
Speaker 2: Members closed for like ten years while they were rebuilding
34:36
Speaker 2: it and took forever, and then it reopened about six
34:39
Speaker 2: months ago, and it's spectacular. I don't like some of
34:43
Speaker 2: the changes, but it's spectacular inside. It's up for sale now.
34:47
Speaker 2: I don't know why they spent all these years rebuilding
34:48
Speaker 2: it just to sell it. But half the building is
34:52
Speaker 2: now apartments condos, which you can buy a condo, but
34:55
Speaker 2: you could also buy the whole building if you want.
34:57
Speaker 2: It's for sale one billion dollars. It'd be interesting to
35:01
Speaker 2: see who buys it. New York is as hot as ever,
35:03
Speaker 2: despite despite Mom Donnie and Hokeel and all of that.
35:07
Speaker 2: It's despite them. It's doing well. Apartment sales high end
35:11
Speaker 2: through the roof. Apartment rentals is as big as ever.
35:15
Speaker 2: In fact, there's no inventory left, so people are buying
35:19
Speaker 2: stuff here. The Waldorf may easily sell, we'll see. So
35:22
Speaker 2: we got this crazy Mom Donnie running things, and you
35:27
Speaker 2: got crazy Kathy Hokele, who really is becoming just as
35:30
Speaker 2: bad as as Mom Donnie. That's why you need Bruce
35:33
Speaker 2: Blakeman to be governor. He'll be with us later this hour.
35:36
Speaker 2: We'll talk to me about that. But you got to
35:38
Speaker 2: get rid of Hockle. You can't get rid of Mom
35:40
Speaker 2: Donnie for three and a half more years, but you
35:42
Speaker 2: can get rid of Hokele and get a real governor
35:44
Speaker 2: in there, a good, common sense, Bruce Blakeman type of governor.
35:48
Speaker 2: But Mom Donnie's up there in Albany, wants to raise taxes.
35:51
Speaker 2: There's no reason at all for raising taxes. We've got
35:55
Speaker 2: a budget gap twelve billions. The budget is double what
35:58
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. It's all waste, fraud, bloat, it's double.
36:02
Speaker 2: You can cut the budget in half, just like that
36:05
Speaker 2: half twelve billion dollar gap. Cut it in half, and
36:08
Speaker 2: then we got a sixty five billion dollar surplus. Just
36:11
Speaker 2: like that. Cut it in half. Florida's budget is half
36:15
Speaker 2: of ours New York States, but just cut it in half.
36:18
Speaker 2: So there's Mom Donnie testifying about the rich, the rich,
36:20
Speaker 2: the rich, the rich.
36:21
Speaker 13: Well, you're going to continue to advocate for a variety
36:24
Speaker 13: of options. We believe the two of them that are
36:26
Speaker 13: the most straightforward and critically important are increased taxes on
36:30
Speaker 13: the wealthiest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations.
36:33
Speaker 2: It wants to tax the corporations. Do you remember the tariffs.
36:37
Speaker 2: Remember how crazy the Democrats got about the tariffs. They
36:40
Speaker 2: were yelling the scream and how bad tariffs are. They're
36:42
Speaker 2: putting tariffs on themselves. These are tariffs. That's a tariff.
36:46
Speaker 2: When you tax. The corporate tax is already the highest
36:48
Speaker 2: in the world. American corporate tax is higher than any
36:51
Speaker 2: place else in the world. They want to increase it.
36:54
Speaker 2: That's a tariff on a business. You know, when you
36:57
Speaker 2: put a ten percent tariff on a business, the business
37:01
Speaker 2: doesn't pay the ten percent. You know, some of it's
37:03
Speaker 2: paid by the exporter overseas, some of it's paid by
37:06
Speaker 2: the middleman. Maybe the business has to pay two percent
37:09
Speaker 2: of the ten percent. But when you put a ten
37:11
Speaker 2: percent tax on the business here in this country, they
37:14
Speaker 2: got to pay the whole ten percent, which means they
37:16
Speaker 2: got to raise the price of all the products ten percent.
37:19
Speaker 2: So when he talks about taxing these corporations, it just
37:22
Speaker 2: means a tariff. It just means the price of every
37:25
Speaker 2: product goes up. And when he talks about taxing the rich,
37:28
Speaker 2: some of them leave. And they're the ones that pay
37:31
Speaker 2: all the taxes here, the top one percent pays like
37:33
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the tax.
37:35
Speaker 14: In New York asking for a two percent raise in
37:38
Speaker 14: personal income taxes on the most affluent New Yorkers. Someone
37:42
Speaker 14: earning a million dollars a year, the top one percent
37:44
Speaker 14: of New York City can afford to contribute twenty thousand
37:47
Speaker 14: dollars more in taxes.
37:48
Speaker 2: Maybe, but they don't want to contribute twenty thousand more
37:51
Speaker 2: because you just waste it. You know, for every dollar
37:55
Speaker 2: you give to the government, like ninety eight cents of
37:58
Speaker 2: it is totally wasted on blow, fraud, waste. They just
38:01
Speaker 2: don't want to waste their money. So he keeps fighting
38:04
Speaker 2: for it. In Albany, they keep arguing with him, keep
38:07
Speaker 2: fighting them.
38:08
Speaker 15: Well, we can't keep raising taxes and have people fleeing.
38:12
Speaker 15: You're talking about free busting, free childcare, you know, so
38:15
Speaker 15: that's pretty ambitious, and state is in serious fiscal trouble
38:18
Speaker 15: as well.
38:19
Speaker 12: I have a big consort becuaus of your philosophy, So
38:24
Speaker 12: do you have any consort about that.
38:26
Speaker 13: I am confident that people will continue to stay in
38:28
Speaker 13: the city. There's no doubt in my mind that what
38:31
Speaker 13: should be driving all of our politics are the needs
38:33
Speaker 13: of working people.
38:36
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, when he's socialists, when they start in with all
38:39
Speaker 2: their stuff, the end result is always the working people suffer.
38:43
Speaker 2: The rich will never suffer. They can move, they can
38:45
Speaker 2: do whatever they want, they can pay the tax if
38:47
Speaker 2: they want. It's always the working people whenever you do
38:49
Speaker 2: this Soviet style suff whenever you do this socialist stuff,
38:54
Speaker 2: it's the lower and middle income classes that get hit
38:58
Speaker 2: the hardest by it. So you'll see that. You'll see
39:01
Speaker 2: that happen mom. Donnie announced he's going to try out
39:05
Speaker 2: his member campaign with those free buses. They're going to
39:08
Speaker 2: try the first one, one route will become free. He's
39:11
Speaker 2: going to do his free buses on one route trial
39:14
Speaker 2: run of a free bus. Then if you look at
39:18
Speaker 2: the fine print, it's a cost of the program will
39:20
Speaker 2: be one hundred and seventy eight million dollars. Well, how's
39:24
Speaker 2: that freeze? The rest of us have to pay one
39:26
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight million. It's not free. There's no
39:29
Speaker 2: free bus. It just means taxpayers pay for it. It
39:32
Speaker 2: means ninety eight percent of taxpayers pay for two percent
39:36
Speaker 2: to ride around for free. But they love giving them
39:39
Speaker 2: a hard time.
39:39
Speaker 15: In Albany, increasing taxes risks alienating and driving away businesses
39:44
Speaker 15: that create jobs and people who disproportionately pay a lot
39:47
Speaker 15: in our taxes that fund our public schools, our police
39:50
Speaker 15: are sanitation. We need to be competitive. That's why we
39:53
Speaker 15: should hold a.
39:54
Speaker 2: Lot on taxes. There you go, good, But like talking
39:57
Speaker 2: to a tree stump there, he's not listening. But the
40:00
Speaker 2: good news is he does not have the power to
40:03
Speaker 2: raise taxes. Governor has more power up there. That's why
40:06
Speaker 2: you got to get rid of a hukl. She's just
40:08
Speaker 2: as bad as Mom Donnie. Now, I don't know if
40:11
Speaker 2: she really was deep down in her heart, but she's
40:14
Speaker 2: decided to become a left wing wacko. She needs Mom
40:18
Speaker 2: Donnie support. Bruce Blakeman is a tough candidate against her.
40:21
Speaker 2: She knows she's got a tough race. He's gonna need
40:23
Speaker 2: the Mom Donnie army at voting time. That's why she
40:27
Speaker 2: started so left wing. Look at her on Ice, she's
40:29
Speaker 2: just making up all this nonsense, yelling and screaming about Ice.
40:33
Speaker 2: She says, this is her quote. We have a bloated
40:35
Speaker 2: agency dedicated to taking people off our streets without any cause.
40:41
Speaker 2: Just an out and out lie. She's just out and
40:42
Speaker 2: out lying. Now, No, there's no ICE agents taking people
40:45
Speaker 2: out without cause. You know, they've rounded up four hundred
40:49
Speaker 2: and seventy five thousand people. Okay, maybe there were two
40:51
Speaker 2: mistakes in there that they had to let go, but
40:54
Speaker 2: that's an incredibly high batting average, so an absolute nut job.
40:58
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the governor's race later this hour. Bruce
41:01
Speaker 2: Blakeman will be with us. Hey, I got to ask
41:04
Speaker 2: him about this because so Hochel Blakeman is obviously very
41:10
Speaker 2: popular on Long Island. It's the best run county in America,
41:14
Speaker 2: Nassau County. So she goes out there to campaign, and
41:17
Speaker 2: then she mentions it later. She says, I was in
41:20
Speaker 2: Long Island campaigning all week. So people get all upset.
41:23
Speaker 2: She's supposed to say on Long Island, not I was
41:26
Speaker 2: in Long Island. But sometimes I say in Long Island. Well,
41:30
Speaker 2: we'll ask he's the leader of Long Island. We'll ask
41:32
Speaker 2: him later this hour. I think it's okay to say
41:35
Speaker 2: in Long Island. Janine Piro, you know, she lives in Rye,
41:41
Speaker 2: New York. She was in her hometown of Rye, beautiful
41:45
Speaker 2: suburb in Westchester, a while back. It was last summer,
41:49
Speaker 2: and she fell. She was walking on the Purchase Street.
41:52
Speaker 2: There's a beautiful downtown and Rye. A lot of great
41:54
Speaker 2: restaurants there. There's Ruby's Oyster Bar, there's a water Moon,
42:00
Speaker 2: all kinds of great places in Rye. Frankie and Johnny's Steakhouse,
42:03
Speaker 2: great stuff in Rye. But she fell right in the
42:06
Speaker 2: street there. Con Edison was doing some work and had
42:09
Speaker 2: a dangerous construction site with them big things sticking out
42:12
Speaker 2: that she tripped on. So she suffered brain bruising and
42:15
Speaker 2: other injuries, was laid up for a while. This is
42:18
Speaker 2: last August, so she is suing con Edison. There was
42:22
Speaker 2: a large block sticking out of the roadway. Probably got
42:26
Speaker 2: a pretty good lawsuit. And if you're gonna get sued,
42:29
Speaker 2: I would say the worst person to get sued by
42:31
Speaker 2: is the former District Attorney of West Cheshire, the current
42:35
Speaker 2: District Attorney of Washington, DC, A great judge, great attorney.
42:39
Speaker 2: Probably the worst person you can get sued by. Hey,
42:42
Speaker 2: CBS News, more layoffs are coming. Yeah, they just did
42:47
Speaker 2: a big round of layoffs. Now they're gonna look like
42:49
Speaker 2: they're gonna do another round. And they said it could
42:52
Speaker 2: be as much as fifteen percent of the workforce. So
42:56
Speaker 2: CBS News, they're trying to get rid of a lot
42:58
Speaker 2: of people. They offered this buyout plan, and apparently a
43:02
Speaker 2: bunch of people on the Evening News took the buyout
43:04
Speaker 2: plan because these are all these left wing, very biased
43:07
Speaker 2: fake news types and they don't want to go middle
43:11
Speaker 2: of the road balance news. They don't want to do that.
43:15
Speaker 2: One of them when leaving put out this letter to
43:17
Speaker 2: everybody about how horrible what's happening is. She said, I
43:22
Speaker 2: don't even know what the hell she's saying. This is
43:24
Speaker 2: another reason they should have gotten rid of her. I
43:25
Speaker 2: don't know what else she's saying in this letter. She said,
43:27
Speaker 2: they're prioritizing a break from traditional broadcast norms to embrace
43:32
Speaker 2: what has been described as heterodox journalism. What the hell
43:37
Speaker 2: does that mean. I gotta have a dictionary just to
43:39
Speaker 2: read this letter. What the hell's a heterodox I don't know.
43:42
Speaker 2: So very excellence we seek to sustain is hindered by
43:45
Speaker 2: fear and uncertainty. They they just want to stop the
43:49
Speaker 2: fake news. They want to stop the bias, the slanted stuff.
43:52
Speaker 2: She quoted Walter Cronkite, who once said to critics, if
43:57
Speaker 2: this is what makes us liberals, so be it? Huh.
44:03
Speaker 2: I knew Walter krankt. He was a wonderful guy, and
44:05
Speaker 2: he was pretty balanced when he was in the anchorchair. Okay,
44:10
Speaker 2: it was a little left wing, but it was slight,
44:14
Speaker 2: just a little slanting, but pretty much he kept the
44:17
Speaker 2: broadcast pretty balance. Now, when he retired and there was
44:21
Speaker 2: a retired guy, then he started letting out all. I
44:25
Speaker 2: didn't realize how left wing he was until he was
44:27
Speaker 2: retired and started shooting his mouth off a lot. But
44:30
Speaker 2: when he was in the anchor chair, he kept the
44:32
Speaker 2: broadcast pretty honest. Hey, there's gonna be no football this weekend, right,
44:38
Speaker 2: what do I do? This is the first weekend without
44:40
Speaker 2: football in many, many, many weeks. Right. Now, here's another problem.
44:44
Speaker 2: I've talked to you about this before. When there's something
44:47
Speaker 2: great food wise, the greatest restaurant in the world, the
44:51
Speaker 2: greatest chef in the world, it used to be like
44:55
Speaker 2: that's it. Everybody would go. Now, when you're the greatest
44:58
Speaker 2: chef with the greatest restaurant, open another restaurant, and another
45:01
Speaker 2: restaurant and another restaurant. You can take that John George,
45:03
Speaker 2: He's got like seventy five restaurants. Now it becomes a chain.
45:07
Speaker 2: Take Danielle, who's one of the great chefs in the world.
45:09
Speaker 2: He's got like forty five restaurants, and every time they
45:12
Speaker 2: open another one, the quality suffers. You see it happen
45:15
Speaker 2: all the time. I mean, let's be honest, Nobu unbelievable.
45:19
Speaker 2: Then there's seventy two nobus, Well, it's a little everything
45:23
Speaker 2: changes when you've got to be become a chain. And
45:25
Speaker 2: it's happening with everything, even pizza. Frank Peppy's in New Haven,
45:30
Speaker 2: that white clam pizza there. Frank Peppy's pizza unbelievable. Then
45:35
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they have twenty five places. It's
45:37
Speaker 2: not quite as good. And now they are announcing they
45:39
Speaker 2: have one hundred places. What and then Sally's that's the
45:43
Speaker 2: other great one in New Haven. They're talking about opening
45:46
Speaker 2: two hundred places. The quality suffers. Now do you know
45:49
Speaker 2: that in New York? When they do the pizza studies,
45:54
Speaker 2: who has the best pizza in America? Dave Portney, whoever
45:58
Speaker 2: does is it always comes down to Defara Pizza in Brooklyn.
46:03
Speaker 2: Defara always wins best pizza in America, maybe the world.
46:08
Speaker 2: They always win. They don't make that. They only make
46:10
Speaker 2: like two hundred pizzas a day. They're only opening certain hours.
46:14
Speaker 2: You gotta wait in line for an hour. Defara Pizza.
46:19
Speaker 2: All right, here's the bad news. Same thing with these guys.
46:22
Speaker 2: Now they're making the frozen one. It'll be in every supermarket.
46:25
Speaker 2: They just launched. You can now get Defara Pizza frozen
46:29
Speaker 2: in shop. Right. I'm reading all the reviews, everybody says
46:32
Speaker 2: it's not the same. It's not They said for frozen pizza,
46:35
Speaker 2: it's very good, but it's nothing like the original. So
46:39
Speaker 2: they're in all the shop rights. Now they're saying they're
46:41
Speaker 2: going to go in food town, Uncle Giuseppes, They're going
46:43
Speaker 2: to go national, They're going to be in one hundred simpermarkets.
46:47
Speaker 2: This is not right. You gotta stop this stuff. You
46:50
Speaker 2: gotta stop because these said they have like one store,
46:53
Speaker 2: one restaurant and it's phenomenal, and then they franchise and
46:57
Speaker 2: everything changes. It's different if you're a franchise to begin with,
47:01
Speaker 2: if your cheesecake factory or PF Chang's from the beginning,
47:05
Speaker 2: you know how to mass produce it in a thousand locations,
47:07
Speaker 2: that's different. But they got to stop this franchising stuff.
47:11
Speaker 2: So hey, you know, the Epstein files are out. I've
47:16
Speaker 2: been every time I run into anybody, I put their
47:19
Speaker 2: name in the Epstein Files. It's amazing. Who comes up.
47:21
Speaker 2: You can look up anybody. Just go just google Epstein files.
47:25
Speaker 2: It'll take you to the Department of Justice website. It's
47:28
Speaker 2: called the Epstein Library. When you get there, and then
47:30
Speaker 2: you can search type in the name of it, you'd
47:32
Speaker 2: be surprised. Remember we had Jimmy fail on yesterday. I said, hey,
47:36
Speaker 2: you're in the Epstein files. He was stunned. That was
47:39
Speaker 2: nothing bad. Somebody was emailing him about telling them something.
47:42
Speaker 2: Jimmy Phylis said on Fox News, I come up in
47:46
Speaker 2: the Epstein files five times. I couldn't believe nothing bad,
47:49
Speaker 2: nothing bad, nothing bad, just about something I did on
47:54
Speaker 2: the air or just coming to a lunch. And I
47:56
Speaker 2: was the MC of nothing bad. But if you want
47:58
Speaker 2: to google your friends or search your friends in the
48:01
Speaker 2: Epstein files, you can do it. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.

Speaker 16: the other frozen piece. It's not even good. The other
48:45
Speaker 16: thing is a political thing, Please everybody. Nicole Malatakis. She
48:50
Speaker 16: is the only Republican congressperson in New York City. She
48:54
Speaker 16: represents Staten Island and my part of Brooklyn. They're trying
48:58
Speaker 16: to redistrict her, and she is wonderful. She works unbelievably
49:02
Speaker 16: hard for everything for Republicans. So those are my two comments.
49:07
Speaker 2: All right, Uh yeah, to far a pizza are not
49:10

Speaker 3: II man gratulations on being number one?
50:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, Barrett Media, that's like the Oscar for best picture
50:11
Speaker 2: for our radio industry. We get voted number one this show.
50:17
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk about the three buses now being
50:20
Speaker 3: in Queens. The only three bus mark is the shuttle
50:24
Speaker 3: to Loo Glaudia. There's no other three buses.
50:28
Speaker 2: Said, well, he's going to try out a free bus.
50:31
Speaker 2: I forget what the route is, but he will be
50:34
Speaker 2: trying No, no, no, no, no, it's not now he's going to
50:38
Speaker 2: actually try out a free bus on one route. But
50:41
Speaker 2: as he again, you read the fine printabe little thing.
50:44
Speaker 2: The cost will be one hundred and seventy eight million.
50:46
Speaker 2: That's not free. Also, you got the MTA opposing it,
50:50
Speaker 2: so it's not gonna last long. Let's go to rich
50:52
Speaker 2: in Myrtle Beach. Rich how you doing.
50:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, still recuperating but feeling pretty good at National warm
50:58
Speaker 7: down here, so it's not too bad. You know, you're
51:01
Speaker 7: talking about the frozen pizza and stuff. I can you
51:03
Speaker 7: actually taking sauce like rendazos in sheepshaid bays a spicy
51:08
Speaker 7: kalamar and putting that and making that frozen and stuff
51:11
Speaker 7: just never last and it's never going to be the same.
51:13
Speaker 7: But I also saw something today about a thirty nine
51:16
Speaker 7: percent cap on FCC something. Do you know anything about
51:18
Speaker 7: that story?
51:19
Speaker 2: No cap on?
51:20
Speaker 7: What something about the FCC is going to be doing
51:24
Speaker 7: something with a thirty nine percent cap. That Congress voted
51:26
Speaker 7: only a thirty percent cap, so I figured you might
51:29
Speaker 7: know about that.
51:29
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but thanks for calling. Let's go
51:32
Speaker 2: to Robert in Westchester. Robert, how you doing all right? Mark?
51:36
Speaker 7: And thanks for taking my coo. What was that? Mark?
51:41
Speaker 2: I said, you sound great?
51:42
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Oh, thank you. Uh, considerably speaking, they estimate
51:47
Speaker 7: maybe fifteen million people came into the country illegally. Then
51:51
Speaker 7: there's the million the million got aways, and now the
51:54
Speaker 7: imbecilic Democrats want to cut fund into DHS. You gotta
51:59
Speaker 7: believe that within that million there's got to be some
52:01
Speaker 7: Iranian operatives and Chinese operatives. What are these people doing?
52:06
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, no, obviously we know a lot of terrorists,
52:09
Speaker 2: operatives of all kinds got in. Those are the first
52:12
Speaker 2: targets of the ice raids. They got some of them,
52:14
Speaker 2: but you're never gonna get all of them. And I
52:16
Speaker 2: think so far we've gotten a something like a million
52:19
Speaker 2: and a half self deported. Maybe maybe we'll get to
52:22
Speaker 2: another million in the next couple of months that ice
52:25
Speaker 2: got out, so two and a half million. Gune. It'll
52:28
Speaker 2: take a while, but by the end of the Trump administration,
52:30
Speaker 2: hopefully you'll get them all out. Let's go to Vincent
52:32
Speaker 2: and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
52:34
Speaker 18: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Merrit. Mark, You're right on
52:36
Speaker 18: the money. Patsy's sauce in the jaw is great. I
52:40
Speaker 18: got a jar when I was at Patsy's the last
52:43
Speaker 18: time he gave me a gian. It's great. Mark. I'm
52:47
Speaker 18: glad President Trump and Leezeldon rescinded the stupid and dangerous
52:53
Speaker 18: expensive cafe cafe standards, so now automakers could go back
53:00
Speaker 18: to making real cars with metal instead of those stupid
53:05
Speaker 18: matching tone bumpers that if you get into a slight
53:09
Speaker 18: of fender bender while you're parking, you're out three four
53:13
Speaker 18: thousand dollars. And so because with those cars, you get
53:17
Speaker 18: an accident in those cars, you see them, those smart cars,
53:21
Speaker 18: those subcompacts. You get in an accident with those cars,
53:25
Speaker 18: the undertaker doesn't even take you out and put you
53:27
Speaker 18: in a coffin. They just throw you in the hole
53:30
Speaker 18: in the car. The biggest things in fifty years the
53:34
Speaker 18: EPA has done that was good was no unleaded gasoline
53:41
Speaker 18: and putting catalytic converters in cars. That made the most
53:45
Speaker 18: difference for cleaner air and less in the environment. I
53:50
Speaker 18: was in Rome in two thousand and two. I mean,
53:53
Speaker 18: I'm staying there at the Hilton there. I go out
53:56
Speaker 18: to go walk about. I'm smoking the city. I go
53:59
Speaker 18: to smoke cigarette and I said to you, what is
54:02
Speaker 18: this cigarette? But I got poison in it. I was
54:05
Speaker 18: choking because they didn't change over to unleaded gasoline. I
54:11
Speaker 18: swear to God, I was choking. It was like sucking
54:14
Speaker 18: in lawnmow.
54:18
Speaker 2: I mean, visa, we gotta go, We gotta do the news.
54:21
Speaker 2: But great stuff. Thanks for being with us when we
54:23
Speaker 2: come back. Bruce Blakeman the next governor of New York.
54:26
Speaker 2: He'll be with us next on seven to ten w
54:29
Speaker 2: O R.
54:30
Speaker 12: Mark delivering the news before its on seven ten WI.
54:40
Speaker 2: Well, hey, we're looking for Bruce Blakeman. Uh, gon't write
54:44
Speaker 2: the voicemail. Al Right, we'll get him. I just texted him.
54:46
Speaker 2: We'll find him. He's running for governor, of course, against
54:49
Speaker 2: Kathy Hokel, who's wasn't great to start and now is
54:53
Speaker 2: becoming a total disaster by going way to the left,
54:57
Speaker 2: trying to appeal to the mom Donnie crowd. Big mistake. Hey, hey,
55:03
Speaker 2: Christy Nome, I think is going to have a problem.
55:06
Speaker 2: Christy Nome. You know, Minnesota became a bit of a mess.
55:10
Speaker 2: President Trump told her to get out of Minnesota, and
55:13
Speaker 2: he sent Tom Holman in to calm things down. And
55:17
Speaker 2: with Christy Nome in Minnesota running everything, it was just calamity.
55:21
Speaker 2: It was just chaos. When Homan got there, he calmed
55:24
Speaker 2: things down, brought down the volume of the tone, and
55:28
Speaker 2: did a much better job. And then President Trump said,
55:32
Speaker 2: from now on, Tom Holman will report directly to me,
55:36
Speaker 2: not to Christy Nomes. So that was a slap in
55:38
Speaker 2: the face to her. And now stuff is slowly coming
55:42
Speaker 2: out about her running that department. You know Corey Lewandowski,
55:47
Speaker 2: you remember him, he's her chief of staff. Well, it
55:50
Speaker 2: was always said that they were having an affair for
55:54
Speaker 2: years and it's believe that's still continuing. People believe that
56:00
Speaker 2: President not happy about that whole situation. And then there's
56:03
Speaker 2: other stuff coming out. Apparently as they travel around, she's
56:08
Speaker 2: been firing too many people. You know, there's all kinds
56:12
Speaker 2: of pilots that Department of Homeland Security has for their planes.
56:16
Speaker 2: She fired one pilot because he forgot to bring her blanket.
56:19
Speaker 2: She has some kind of special blanket that she has
56:22
Speaker 2: to have like a child, almost, but the guy got
56:26
Speaker 2: fired for not bringing the blanket. They then realized he's
56:29
Speaker 2: the pilot. They can't really go anywhere without him. I
56:31
Speaker 2: forget where they were, but they needed him to get back,
56:34
Speaker 2: so they had to rehire him to fly the plane back. Now,
56:38
Speaker 2: the other thing that's coming out is apparently Department of
56:43
Speaker 2: Homeland Security under her, they went out and bought themselves
56:47
Speaker 2: a big enormous jet, a business jet, a Boeing seven
56:51
Speaker 2: eighty seven. That's a big, huge business jet. You remember
56:55
Speaker 2: the plane Donald Trump had his Trump Force one. That's
56:58
Speaker 2: a Boeing seven eighty s. So she bought one. It's
57:02
Speaker 2: quite a plane. It has a bedroom, it has everything.
57:05
Speaker 2: Now Corey Lewandowski her flying around on this big plane
57:08
Speaker 2: with a bedroom. Well, you do the math there. At
57:13
Speaker 2: the time, she claimed the reason they were purchasing this
57:15
Speaker 2: plane was to use it for deportation. They would be
57:19
Speaker 2: using it to transport the illegals to back to their countries.
57:23
Speaker 2: But nobody can find any evidence of them even attempting
57:27
Speaker 2: to reconfigure the plane. Obviously, if you're going to use
57:30
Speaker 2: it for that, you get rid of the stateroom, the
57:33
Speaker 2: living room, the bedroom, and they didn't do that. And
57:35
Speaker 2: apparently they've been using it to fly all over the place.
57:37
Speaker 2: So this kind of stuff is coming out. It's not
57:40
Speaker 2: going to look good for her, and he may leave
57:45
Speaker 2: her there through the midterms, but don't be surprised if
57:47
Speaker 2: after the midterms she goes slowly, but surely he's removing
57:51
Speaker 2: her from all sorts of power in that job. Tim Waltz,
57:56
Speaker 2: the crazy Minnesota governor, is now claiming that Minnesota should
58:00
Speaker 2: be reimbursed. They should get a ton of money from
58:03
Speaker 2: the federal government because they've suffered so much damage, psychological damage.
58:09
Speaker 2: They were traumatized by ice, and there's so much trauma.
58:13
Speaker 2: They need money for this guy. You think he made
58:16
Speaker 2: enough money off the nineteen billion dollars in Somali fraud
58:21
Speaker 2: but nothing. No, he apparently still wants more money. But
58:26
Speaker 2: Waltters's announced he'll never seek reelection. In fact, he's not
58:30
Speaker 2: running for governor again. But he also announced he'll leave
58:33
Speaker 2: politics and not so. I don't know why he's asking
58:37
Speaker 2: for money from the federal government unless he's just looking
58:39
Speaker 2: for attention. Hey, do we find Bruce Blakeman? Yep, keep
58:42
Speaker 2: trying him. I texted him. We'll see, We'll see if
58:45
Speaker 2: we can find him. Hey, a great idea from the
58:48
Speaker 2: Trump administration. If you own a home, This is a
58:52
Speaker 2: great idea. It's going to save you a lot of money.
58:54
Speaker 2: If you own a home, you'll be able to claim
58:58
Speaker 2: a depreciation tax break every year. You know, every business
59:02
Speaker 2: is allowed to do this. When a business opens, a
59:04
Speaker 2: factory opens, an office opens, a headquarters. As soon as
59:07
Speaker 2: they open it, you know, you know, over the years
59:11
Speaker 2: it gets you know, things deteriorate and you got to
59:15
Speaker 2: you can depreciate it. You can take a depreciation on
59:18
Speaker 2: your business. Every corporation does that. Trump making a great point,
59:23
Speaker 2: why shouldn't a homeowner be able to do that? Now,
59:26
Speaker 2: he didn't elaborate on exactly how they would get this
59:29
Speaker 2: through but it's a great idea. You'll be able to
59:31
Speaker 2: claim a depreciation every year, great tax break if you're
59:35
Speaker 2: a homeowner. Excellent idea from the president. New study out
59:40
Speaker 2: if you're worried about exercise and all sorts of stuff.
59:42
Speaker 2: I didn't go to the gym. I didn't do this.
59:44
Speaker 2: And in new studies, especially if you're older. If you're older,
59:49
Speaker 2: this one physical activity can do more good for you
59:52
Speaker 2: than anything else. And I know people try to walk
59:55
Speaker 2: a lot of the truck, but you need a five minute,
59:58
Speaker 2: very brisk walk. You got a fast walk for five minutes.
1:00:02
Speaker 2: If you do that every day, Apparently it causes a
1:00:05
Speaker 2: ten percent reduction in deaths, in heart disease, in all
1:00:10
Speaker 2: sorts of stuff. So you may be walking every day,
1:00:13
Speaker 2: but for five minutes at least do a very fast
1:00:17
Speaker 2: paced walk for five full minutes without stopping.
1:00:20
Speaker 7: Uh.
1:00:21
Speaker 2: It really, really really can do more for you than
1:00:23
Speaker 2: a trip to the gym or anything else. For an
1:00:26
Speaker 2: older person, it's a great thing to do every day. Hey,
1:00:29
Speaker 2: we'll take a break. Well, see if we can find
1:00:30
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. We'll look for him. We'll see. I don't
1:00:33
Speaker 2: know what happened to him, but we'll see if we
1:00:36
Speaker 2: get him in a moment. Don't forget Buck and Clay
1:00:39
Speaker 2: Noon Today, excellent show coming up on seven to ten.
1:00:43
Speaker 2: Wr pease mister New York Mark Simone on Hellow, I
1:00:51
Speaker 2: don't know what happened to Bruce Blakeman. We'll find him,
1:00:53
Speaker 2: go get him on Monday. Oh wait a minute, I'm
1:00:55
Speaker 2: not here Monday. Curtis will be here Monday. Curtis will
1:00:58
Speaker 2: be filling it on Monday. That's right, it's a three
1:01:00
Speaker 2: day weekend. That's good news. So well, we'll get him
1:01:03
Speaker 2: on next week. Bruce Blakeman. I want to ask him
1:01:06
Speaker 2: about it's important issues. So Kathy Hokle visits Long Island.
1:01:10
Speaker 2: She's campaigning there, and then later she says I was
1:01:13
Speaker 2: in Long Island today, and she gets all kinds of
1:01:16
Speaker 2: flak for saying in Long Island. You're supposed to say
1:01:19
Speaker 2: on Long Island. Although you people in Long Island have
1:01:24
Speaker 2: got to stop with this. On Long Island, I say
1:01:27
Speaker 2: in Long Island sometimes I know it's an island, you're
1:01:30
Speaker 2: on Long Island, but we don't say that for other islands.
1:01:35
Speaker 2: Manhattan's an island. Nobody says I was on Manhattan. Somebody
1:01:39
Speaker 2: would say yeah, I was in Manhattan today. You wouldn't
1:01:41
Speaker 2: say I'm on Manhattan. Hawaii is an island. You wouldn't
1:01:45
Speaker 2: say it was on Hawaii. Hey, it was in Hawaii
1:01:47
Speaker 2: last week. It's okay to say in Long Island. It
1:01:51
Speaker 2: sounds good on Long Island. Doesn't sound right in Long
1:01:56
Speaker 2: Island is fine. Speaking of Kathy Okle, she is so
1:02:00
Speaker 2: oh crazy now. She's going so far to the left
1:02:02
Speaker 2: and she is pandering everywhere. She started bragging about one
1:02:07
Speaker 2: hundred and nine million she's given to the Nassau University
1:02:09
Speaker 2: Medical Center. But then the critics point out, wait a minute,
1:02:13
Speaker 2: the money was already there. You're not giving it her.
1:02:16
Speaker 2: It's already in the budget for them. You're not giving
1:02:18
Speaker 2: it to them. And you know, the Second Avenue subway
1:02:22
Speaker 2: goes uptown and goes all the way up, and the
1:02:26
Speaker 2: new plan was to extend it even more up to
1:02:28
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty fifth Street. The Q train. She's
1:02:31
Speaker 2: decided to reroute it through Harlem. It's going to make
1:02:34
Speaker 2: a detour, pandering to somebody. But you know what that
1:02:37
Speaker 2: cost to detour a subway. It's like some ridiculous like
1:02:42
Speaker 2: twelve million a mile. And then you're taken away from
1:02:47
Speaker 2: where it's supposed to go. Detouring subway is absolutely ridiculous.
1:02:52
Speaker 2: All right. Now, you know in the Central Park they
1:02:55
Speaker 2: got the horse and carriage. You know, people ride around
1:02:58
Speaker 2: in this, which is fine in Central Park. You see
1:02:59
Speaker 2: the horse drawn carriage. It could be very beautiful, it
1:03:02
Speaker 2: could be very romantic. I mean when you're looking at
1:03:05
Speaker 2: it from a distance. Once you get in it, you're
1:03:07
Speaker 2: in this smelly, disgusting thing with the most disgusting blanket
1:03:10
Speaker 2: on you and some of the illegal alien in the
1:03:14
Speaker 2: in the front. It's but it looks good from a distance.
1:03:18
Speaker 2: So and they should not allow those horse and carriages
1:03:20
Speaker 2: to ever go into the streets outside of the park
1:03:22
Speaker 2: because all they do is screw up traffic. But the
1:03:26
Speaker 2: new proposal now is to bring back horseback riding into
1:03:31
Speaker 2: Central Park. This is while the activists are trying to
1:03:34
Speaker 2: get the horse and carriages banned. But they used to
1:03:37
Speaker 2: have I remember, not that long maybe twenty twenty five
1:03:40
Speaker 2: years ago, people would be riding horses. There was a
1:03:42
Speaker 2: stable in there's a stable there in Central Park. You
1:03:46
Speaker 2: know where the reservoir track is, the jogging track down
1:03:48
Speaker 2: below was the bridle path and there was always horseback
1:03:52
Speaker 2: riding there, but they want to bring it back. There's
1:03:54
Speaker 2: a company that's been pushing this through the legislature, through
1:03:58
Speaker 2: the city Council. They think it'll help with tourism. I
1:04:01
Speaker 2: don't think any tourist wants to come to New York
1:04:03
Speaker 2: and ride a horse through Central Park because, first of all,
1:04:06
Speaker 2: wherever you're from, you can ride a horse there. But
1:04:08
Speaker 2: it would be a major return Claremont Racing Academy it
1:04:12
Speaker 2: closed in two thousand and seven. That was the last one.
1:04:15
Speaker 2: They've been doing horseback riding in Central Park for one
1:04:18
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen years. It stopped in two thousand and seven.
1:04:21
Speaker 2: They want to bring it back. There's a bunch of companies,
1:04:24
Speaker 2: Miller's Horse Company, Manhattan Saddlery that have all kinds of
1:04:28
Speaker 2: plans to do this. The horses will be trailered in
1:04:31
Speaker 2: an unspecified private barn in an outer borrow, brought in
1:04:36
Speaker 2: every day. It's not clear which Big Apple stable will
1:04:40
Speaker 2: supply those horses, but there's one in the Bronx they
1:04:43
Speaker 2: think they'll use. I don't know. I don't know do
1:04:46
Speaker 2: we really need it. It's really not going to bring
1:04:49
Speaker 2: in a lot of money. It's not going to do
1:04:50
Speaker 2: much of anything for anybody. And you know when you
1:04:52
Speaker 2: have those horses running around, you know what they leave
1:04:56
Speaker 2: all over the place. I don't think we really need this.
1:04:58
Speaker 2: Coming back to New York, New York tax payers now
1:05:01
Speaker 2: that you remember, we're talking about the budget twelve billion
1:05:04
Speaker 2: dollar budget gap, and I said, there's so much waste
1:05:07
Speaker 2: and fraud and bloat in there. There's a million things
1:05:11
Speaker 2: that we overpay for. But there's also these dumb programs.
1:05:14
Speaker 2: You could just simply cut them. You don't need them.
1:05:16
Speaker 2: Here's do you know that we're spending two hundred thousand
1:05:18
Speaker 2: dollars for some woke group to study reparations for slavery?
1:05:24
Speaker 2: Do you ever hear anything more ridiculous? What the hell
1:05:27
Speaker 2: is there to study? We know what happened. You want
1:05:30
Speaker 2: to argue about reparations, that's fine, but two hundred thousand
1:05:32
Speaker 2: dollars to study it? The select organization I see here
1:05:37
Speaker 2: It is it's certain groups that they count on for votes,
1:05:40
Speaker 2: they'll get the money. This is why you have all
1:05:42
Speaker 2: this waste and fraud in government. Why would they waste money?
1:05:46
Speaker 2: Why would they spend money on useless things? Because you're
1:05:48
Speaker 2: giving it to certain groups? Unions businesses that bring you
1:05:52
Speaker 2: votes and bring you massive, massive donations. That's why they
1:05:57
Speaker 2: like to hand out these stupid contracts. Hey, out of time,
1:06:01
