  Speaker 2: How you doing.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I'm terrific. Thank you for having me.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Uh you did March yesterday? Did you in the No
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Kings March?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: No?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't. I'd forgotten my Mickey Mouse costume, so
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I really wasn't prepared.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It did look like a Halloween at the Senior Center,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: didn't this?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean really it was ridiculous. But you know, Mark,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: it's it's kind of a sad moment because you sort
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: of I actually have a piece that I'm sending in
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: a Fox in a minute about what are they protesting?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Are they protesting Trump going after the fentanyl imp orders
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: who've killed so many young Americans? Are they protesting the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: fact that we now have a border that is secure?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Do we have an education department that has a new
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: mandate which is actually to teach black and brown kids
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: how to read? I mean, you kind of go through
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: all the stuff that the Trump White House is doing,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: not you know, importantly, including reshoring, manufacturing and trying to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: make American companies competitive overseas, and you kind of say,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: what is it all about? What are they so angry about.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: What they're really angry about is that we elected the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: majority of the country elected somebody they don't like. That's
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: what it comes down to.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's different. You know, the same thing with George
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Bush that you know, they always went after him a little,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but Trump really riles them up, doesn't he what? I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: guess he doesn't deliver it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: They hate him, And partly it's because he just doesn't
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: play by the rules. You know, he goes after his opponents,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: he's rough sometimes and because he gets stuff done. I mean,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I think that's why they hate him. Actually, I think
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: it's because, number one, he got elected in spite of
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: an all court legal press to make sure that he
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: was unelectable, which failed monumentally, and he won in spite
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: of all that. And I think they just they really
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: can't handle it because now that he's president and that
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: he has both houses of Congress, he's going after all
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the fraud and the waste and the NGOs that Elon
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Musk called out for being basically money launderers and all
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: these things. And you know, most Republicans just don't go there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: They're afraid to go there, and he is not.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, the mayoral race only fifteen days left. The
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: problem is Andrew Cromo is so unlikable. And I mean,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it'd be great if one we had one candidate, but
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we got two major party candidates, Clomo the third party.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But and you watch the debate. He was not too
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: great in that debate.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Oh he was better than he was in the primary
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: debate when he was just like totally out to lunch.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: But even in this one, I mean, this is pretty incredible.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: He really didn't look prepared to answer the obvious questions.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: He didn't have you know, Mom, Donnie came with prepared
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: sound bites. Curtis Leewa had prepared soundbites, sound bites. But
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: here's the really tragic thing. A poll that's just new
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: shows that it's possible that Cuomo could win if Curtis
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: lewa gets out of the race. I don't I don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: like Andrew Cuomo. I think he's horrible. He was a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: horrible governor. But he's better than Mom, Donnie, and Curtis
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Leewa has no chance of winning.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so very a very flawed pole. John McLoughlin pointing
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: out the ust wrong model in that poll. It's only
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a few hundred people, so but go ahead.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Well at the end, we don't really have any better
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: information to go on, and no one has been able
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to make the case that Sleewak can pull this out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But by the way, the only guy that really made
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: any sense or displayed any deep knowledge of the city
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and its problems was Curtis sleewat that debate. I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that is a fair statement. I just don't think he
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: probably can win.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now if you ask Curtis, if you said that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to Curtis, he'll say, well, yeah, you guys are all
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: doing that to me. It's like you're creating the whole
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: myth that I can't win.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But well it's possible, it's possible. Uh. You know, we
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: had him on the morning since Maria showed it this morning,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and he had a great line talking about Andrew Cuomo saying,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you know, because of him, we're locking up the you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: products at CVS instead of the criminals. And he's totally right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, Lookquemo's terrible. I don't want to vote for him.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I just don't want mom Donnie to be our mayor,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: and sadly it looks like he probably will be. But
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Sliewa Rais is a good point. If we all weren't
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: out there saying please drop out, maybe he would be
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: doing better. I don't know.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: What a mess. Yeah, hey, did you know there's still
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize that there's still a government shutdown? Do
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you think anybody notices this?
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Ah? Isn't that something?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, supposedly Democrats were waiting for No King's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Day to get together and vote in favor of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: government reopening. I think there's a really good question about
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: how that's going to be perceived by the far left.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Are they going to be happy that the government reopens
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: if the Democrats have nothing to show for their shutdown?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think this is risky for Democrats. But it goes
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: on and on, and you know, I don't really know
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: what they're accomplishing. Maybe they are accomplishing having more focus
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: on the Obamacare subsidies. I think that's probably a fair statement.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: But you know, I think the Republicans are going to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: be pretty wary of letting those healthcare premiums go through
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the roof anyway. And a lot of red states are
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: going to really see big increases in the cost of Obamacare,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and so my guess is there's rooms to negotiate there,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: but you know, shutting down the government is not the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: way to do it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll see lot's going to happen this week.
• 6:36
