• 0:23
  Speaker 3: and there's so many things I'd love to talk to
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: you about. It's just, you know, Rudy Giuliani. This thing
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: with Savannah Guthrie. There's something on the internet that's saying,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: you know, she interviewed some people connected with the ebscene
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: case and they're trying to teach her.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, hopefully.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, So here's the one yesterday when you're talking about
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Elon being probably the next trillionaire, Why does it he
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: with all his brilliant attack homelessness because he's got enough
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: money to solve it on his own.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: No, you gotta remember he could do that in a second.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Guys like this could figure out everything. But he tried
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: it with the government waste and fraud, the DOGE program,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and all he did was get attacked day in night, NonStop,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and he had to back off. So that's the problem.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You could. You know, guys like that can come in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and fix everything in government, but the swamp, the deep
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: state will fight you like crazy and chase you out
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of Washington. And that's what happened. Let's go to Barbara
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and Woodside. Barbara, how you doing?
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: How you do? And I'm doing great. Listen. I worked
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: at the city council and all these people are political appointees.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: They're favors to the political parties. And I stayed there
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: only four months because it's the environment was too political
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: and very hard to stay there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So when they want to increase the budget hire another
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: ninety people, it's like this is like Polly Walnuts. Polly Walnuts,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: no medical Paully Walnuts, no show jobs, that kind of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: stuff that makes sense. Let's go to Bob and Mottvale. Bob,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'm hanging in there, Mark, thanks to taking their call.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You know that the reason why they're closing out homeless
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: shelter for men is that it's decrepit. It's like any
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: other New York City landlord owned property. Let to go
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to shame. And now they're gonna spend billions on a hotel.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I know, But my point was that Chelsea Market was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the most decrepit thing in New York, and Irwin Cohen
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: buys it and says, let's transform it. All of a sudden,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's the most beautiful building in New York on a hotspot.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And it didn't cost two billion. At these hotel rooms,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it costs like twenty million. And that was it. To
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: fix it up it again, to fix up that. If
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you give that shelter to Donald Trump and said turn
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: this into a ballroom, it'd be the most gleaming, beautiful
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: ballroom in New York in two months. So you can
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: fix up the shelter. You don't have to spend billions
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and billions in hotel rooms. But as we pointed out,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it's a contract to the Hotel Association, which can do
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you a lot of good. If you're a politician, Let's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: go to Tony and White Plains. Tony, how you doing.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Morning, Mark? I also met Ernie Masters. I live in
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: White Plains, West Sheffield.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: If you call that living, But okay, no, I love
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: white Planes. It's a beautiful place. You got a Trump
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Tower in white planes, you got a rich Garlton and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: white plans.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, but the reason why I called is I
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: met Ernie actually in the Poconos. Pocono downs at the racetrack.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: My friend George Anthony, he calls the races there, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I'm also the horse business. And I was with my
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: wife and some friends. And then we went up to
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: the booth. Uh, my friend George was calling the races,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: and and and there was George Anthony.

  Speaker 5: Ernie anstis, I'm sorry and and uh he introduced us
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: and he was a perfect gentleman. But we used to
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: watch them all the time. He didn't hit you, no, no, no,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: he doesn't. He actually even off off to buy a
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: hot dog, but we already have one because they were having.
• 3:47

• 4:47
  Speaker 6: when mcdonnie in the city. My kids live in the
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: city and they voted for him because they're crazy left wing,
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: is what can I say. They grew up in Garden City,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: which where there was a Democratic vote in the ballot,
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: they'd have an investigation. But that'sn't either here or there
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: with mcdonnie, with Mandanie, we're in trouble because even if
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Bruce Blakeman should win, we will win.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman is no.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: I hope he will. I hope he will win, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: he would if he wins, and he can remove when Donnie,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: under the city Charter, you have the you have the
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: public Advocate. Joannie Williams.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He's just well, he's no great bargain either. But else, remember,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, when he gets elected governor can remove the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: district attorneys, he can get rid of Alvin Bragging, put
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in a real DA. Things can happen, Mark Listing, I'm
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: not first of all, this whole thing is your fault.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You're crazy left wing kids voted for him.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Let me tell you. I'll tell you what I told him.
• 5:39

• 5:42
  Speaker 6: school and I paid for it, I said, I should
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: have sent you to the University of Havana. It would
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: have been cheaper and same results.
