  Speaker 2: whole life negotiating with the toughest unions, contractors, mobsters, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: he's never come up against lunatics like this. What are
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you do in a case like this?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I was just tucking with someone else
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: about that. I mean, this is I mean, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in the past, he always knew he was dealing with,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you know, Fat Tony or you know or or you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, somebody like that, somebody that you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he knew, he knew who the capo was. You don't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: even know who the capo. The Capo's dead, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I think in all likelihood, and then they're just you know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: operating in his name. And it's a it's a it's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a tough point, you know, it's but you know, on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the on the other hand, have you looked at the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Texas the map of the Texas counties to see how
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it went last night? Yeah, it's just did how many
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: counties there are in Texas? Two hundred and fifty? W Wow?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many John Cornyon carried? No. Two
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he carried He carried Travis County in uh which is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: which is Austin. And he carried some county had never
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: heard of down on the Gulf Coast, Kennedy Kate with
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: one end Kennedy County. They were there's nobody in Kennedy County.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Cornon won the vote in Kennedy County six votes to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: two votes for Facks. Then those were the two out
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of two hundred and fifty four counties. I mean, that's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: what you call a crushing defeat. After eighteen years in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the US Senate.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You know, Donald Trump is in his second term, heading
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: into the second half of the second term. Usually you're
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a total lame duck, you're totally useless by that. But
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he's stronger in the second term than in the first.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's it's pretty amazing, isn't it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. You know, I think part of it
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: is his his enemies, you know, I mean, the the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Republicans are factless. You know, he's getting rid of them.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The Democrats are being eliminated. You know, Durban's on his
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: way out. Schumer is gonna if if AOC runs for president,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I guess it'll be up to Mamdani to knock him out.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But you know, they're all they just uh, He's He's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: fortunate in the enemies that he's drawn, isn't he. Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. These Democrats with the with the crazy Trump arrangements,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: don't they realize the kind of helping more than hurting.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: When are they going to regroup and figure out a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: better strategy?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah? How about how about this? How about Al Green?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: There was another loss last night. Al Green, the guy
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: with the kne was yelling at him at the State
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of the Union. You know, apparently they you know, they
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: redistricted everything in Texas, and he moved into a new
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: district and he got crushed by some guy who's like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: old enough to be young enough to be his grandson.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking, you know, al forgot his great
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hit from the nineteen seventies, Why can't why don't we
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: stay together?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Bad thing? I love the other Algreen, the singing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's probably one reason
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: why the the Algreen with the cane uh one initially
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: won in Houston.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: You know that's a good theory.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So uh hey uh Barney Frank passed away. You Yes,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: way back then he was considered an extreme, total left
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: wing kookie left. Now he's like a moderate in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party. What happened?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I was thinking about that. You know, he
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, he wrote he's got this book coming out
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: posthumously saying, you know, the Democrats have gone too far.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And you know the the governor of Massachusetts is a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: lesbian now you know, from Maryland, and uh, you know
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: she last week she tried to put somebody on the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: parole board to they're letting her there. They're just rubber
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: stamping out these murderers, one after another on the parole board.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It was too much for her. She's running for reelection,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and the Governor's Council, which you know approves the Pearle Board,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they refuse to put a prosecutor on the parole board.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And she she had to come out and say, hey,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it's gone too far. And then you had Tammy Duckworth
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. You know when the on Memorial Day, when
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the when the Democrat National Committee put out the tweets
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: saying saying, would like to thank all the people who
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: died in Trump's unnecessary war and Iran in I mean,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: just these people are out. I mean, when you've got
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Barney Frank Mara Heey and Tammy Duckworth saying I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you guys have gone too far. I think it's pretty
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: clear you know that they have gone too far, isn't it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So at some point the cycle changes, you turn
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a corner. Are we starting to turn that corner? Is
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: this the beginning and the end of that craziness?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I'm just looking at
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the headline in the New York Post today, ma'am. Donnie
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wants to seize apartments from landlords give them to nonprofits.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, couldn't you make the argument that the New
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: York Housing Authority is a nonprofit and they're the biggest
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: slumlord in the city, just like every other city, aren't they.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is insanity, isn't it. I mean, he
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: hasn't learned. He isn't you know, I mean to forget
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you know, Barney and Mara and Tammy. I mean, he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: not He's not taking his foot off the gas pedal.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Is it really? Is it insanity? Or is this a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: communist the way of thinking that let's the start here,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: governments seizing private property and taking control of it at
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the beginning of something for him?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I think you know he did. You see the Supreme
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Court this last week ruled this this American company that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: owned the docks in Havana. They've been trying to get him,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: They've been trying to get some kind of ruling against
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the communists in Qube, but the castros for seventy years
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for seizing the docks, and finally the Supreme Court said, yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you've got to you've got a case. You can get
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the money back from the communist I mean, there's he
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: had a he got to start reading some of these
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court rulings. I mean it, you know, eventually it
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: does go back the other way. And you know, it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't go back the other way because communism succeeds. It
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: goes back the other way because finally everything is in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: ruins and you have to you have to go in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a different direction. And that's apparently this is what Mamdani
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: wants to do. He wants to just take down everything.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's gonna it's and he's going to end up. You know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the same thing with the Havana docks,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: seizing apartments. The government is going to take over the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: housing to make it better. And has he ever been
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to a public housing project? Yeah?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Democrats don't follow science. They don't follow
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: this the science of running an economy. We know what works.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: We know it doesn't work. We've tested socialism ten thousand times,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: always but they don't care about the science. They'll keep
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: doing it. So, hey, we got you're the Kennedy expert
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of the world. We have this crazy Kennedy kid, son
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of Caroline Kennedy, Jack Schlosberg.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He's behind though, he's behind in the polls though. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: saw that. That's good news.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Oh good, Yeah, because he's running for Congress here.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Well, he's got like eleven percent, right, he's like running
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: third or fourth. That's good. I'm glad. Maybe maybe New
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: York is so bringing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Up yeah, but well, or maybe he's just really but
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have you have you gotten a listen to him? He's
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the dumbest, weirdest yuh. But what is it with these Kennedy's.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, he's he's he's really, he's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a he's a real not yeah, I mean, and some
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of them they can blame it on the booze, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he's I don't think
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he's got an alcohol problem. He's just insane.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's I was never a Caroline fan. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you know her husband, Ede Schlosburg. Really yeah, very bad
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: vibe coming off that guy. So, uh, this is the
