  Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means. It smarts
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: amone on seven tenor.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm here, I made it. I'm only a couple
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: of blocks away. So it was easy to get well,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it was easy to get here. Even
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: walking just a block or two is not easy. It
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: is a mess outside. It is also eerie and gloomy outside.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: It's pandemic like in that. If you do walk outside,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: there's no traffic. I mean there's a car here and there,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: and there are no pedestrians either. That's the eerie part.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: You might look way down, this is the middle of Manhattan,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: look at you block or two down and see one
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: person walking it. It's just like the pandemic. It's very
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: very quiet out there. The snow is messy. It's wet snow.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It's not the dry snow that now. The wet snow
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: is worse, harder to shovel, it's heavier, and when it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: on the tree branches or power poles, it can get
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: so heavy it can actually cause them to break snap.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: That's we get these power outages. It's a power outage. Wise,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you got six hundred and forty thousand people without power.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: That's up and down the East coast, all the way
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: down to Virginia. Now Here in this area New York State,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: including New York City, Nassau, Suffolk seventeen thousand people without power,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: and that's mostly Nasau, Suffolk Queens, mostly Long Island, almost
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: all of it is. Long Island seventeen thousand without power.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Connecticut thirteen thousand without power. New Jersey. Listen to this number.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: One hundred and thirty seven thousand without power, one hundred
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and thirty seven thousand without power. The wind, the heavy snow,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the wet snow, you got the roads closed. In Manhattan,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: roads are officially closed except for emergency travel. That's until
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: noon today. Out Long Island. I think I'm not sure.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I think NASA is eleven. They're talking about moving at
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: to one o'clock. The snow is lessening right now. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: still snowing, but it's much much lighter snow. And that
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: light snow will continue till about five or six o'clock today.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Should be all over by five point thirty six o'clock
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: that'll be the end of it. But when it's over,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a lot of snow. We got
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: fifteen inches in New York City fifteen inches. You got
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: eighteen inches in suburbs. New Jersey got about eighteen inches
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: some parts. It depends where you are in New Jersey.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: South Shore of Long Island got the worst ice lip,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: reporting two feet of snow. The Hampton's eighteen inches of snow.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: This was unusual in that usually when you're along the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: coast you get off easier. The more you go inland,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the worse the snow. This was different. This was a
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: storm that hugged the shoreline, so the closer word to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the shore, the worse it was. Snow wise unusual, flights
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: are canceled everywhere. There are no flights in or out
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: of any of our airports, and they've been canceled for
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: so many hours, and it's going to be a day
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: or two so it may not get back to normal
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: till Wednesday or Thursday. So that's going to be a
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: mess if you gotta fly anywhere. Trains, well, you got
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Metro North is Metro North is pretty good. They're actually running.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I mean there's some delays and not all the trains,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: but Metro North seems to be operating okay. Ther Long
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Island Railroad of course a total mess. It's mostly shut down,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: believe it or not. The New York City subways are running.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: They're open. Couple of lines are suspended, but plenty of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: subways are running with delays and some low express are
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: now local that kind of stuff, but they're but they're running.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Bridges are closed. Those bridges should reopen later today. The
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: bridges are closed not because of the snow. You can
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: plow the snow, but the bridges are closed because of
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the winds forty to fifty sixty mile an hour winds.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You got to close the but that wind is dying down.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It should be pretty much the wind should be pretty
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: much over by tonight. National Guard has been called out.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You got part of the problem is you're trying to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: get through this snowstorm with this kind of leadership. You
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: got Mam Donnie, you got HOCl you got Mikey Cheryl.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: The schools are closed, and for the first time in
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I think seven years, they're really closed. It's none of
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that remote learning, which is a terrible day for parents
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: because they love when the kids go to school for
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: all those hours. Now you're stuck at home with the kids.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: If you got the remote learning at least it keeps
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: them a little busy, but no remote learning. It's a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: real snow day, an actual old fashioned schools closed snow day.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Here's Mayor mom, Donnie.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: This will be New York City's first old school snow
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: day since twenty nineteen. The state requires us to conduct
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty days of education in a calendar year. However,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we believe that there are a unique set of extenuating
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: circumstances for tomorrow's education. We shared this with the State
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Education Commissioner earlier this morning, and she has granted us
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a waiver for which we are incredibly thankful. And to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: kids across New York City, you have a very serious mission.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: If you choose to accept it, stay cozy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: So you know, if you live in the suburbs, if
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: you really know what you're doing, you got one of
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: those snow shoveling services. It's usually also the landscaping Seruit,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: but they come out every time the snow boom, they
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: come out. Eighteen guys get out of the truck shovling. Now,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: if you don't know what you do and you hire
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a neighborhood kid. Although that's tough now, I used to
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: be able to hire the neighborhood. Yeah, twenty dollars to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: shovel might drive. Now it's like two hundred and they
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: don't want to do it, but believe or not, New
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: York City sort of operates this way. The sanitation department
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: cleans the snow, but they hire snow shovelers. I don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: know why now they do this, and they do it
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: for each storm. They put like ads everywhere where we
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: need snow shovelers. It's nineteen dollars an hour, and they
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: need about four thousand of these freelance amateur snowshovels. Four thousand. Well,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: they only got fourteen hundred this time. I think part
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: of the problem is nineteen dollars an hour doesn't attract
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of people nowadays in the middle of a snowstorm,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and the mayor getting a lot of flak because he's
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: requiring two types of ID, two photo IDs, a birth certificate.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Of course, when you want to vote there, do they
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: think photo ID is racist? It's suppressing the vote, it's racist.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But they're doing it for snow shoveling. And of course
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: he got all kinds of flak all over the place
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: for it, and ridiculed for it. Now the difference is
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: with the snowshoveling. They have to issue you a paycheck.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: You're actually put on the payroll, and that's a federal
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: requirement to pay somebody tax purposes, all that stuff. You
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: have to have all that id But Mom Donnie not
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: able to attract a normal amount of snowsholls.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So the starting pay for emergency snowshovelers is about nineteen
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: dollars an hour. After they work forty hours through a week,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that then increases to about twenty eight dollars an hour.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And thanks to the work of DS and Y and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so many others, we have expanded the pool of emergency
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: snow shovelers. In the previous storm, we were looking at
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: about five hundred emergency snow shovelers. Now that pool has
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: expanded to about fourteen hundred.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: You got to admit, the guy really sounds like he
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: knows what he's doing. But when he talks, he gives
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you nineteen dollars an hour, and then to move to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: twenty eight dollars when we've expanded to the program. He
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: really sounds like he knows what he's doing. I mean,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: if he has to actually do it. He didn't know
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: what the ally's doing. But boy, when it comes to talking,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: this guy sounds like he knows what he's doing. If
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you want him to actually do it, well that's a
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: whole other story. It's not going to get done. Then
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you got this governor New Jersey, Mikey Cheryl with that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: that she never doesn't sound like a governor.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: We need to be prepared, We need to be safe,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: get water, get all of your charging done with your devices,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: stay off the roads.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, that one was better. Sometimes she gets a little,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: but we should talk. Look who we got for a governor.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: We are asking you to just stay home. Stay home.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Is a nice diversion called the Olympics going on. There's
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: an important hockey game, the US versus ken I believe
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: around eight am, So stay home.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: That's a diversion of Olympics. Would they pay like two
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: billion for the rights? It's a diversion. Isn't the Olympics over?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Is it still on? I don't know. I don't want
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to see the Olympics, but I know the hockey was
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the big thing. But I guess it's still on. But Hochel,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: it's a great chance to you look like a governor,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you get to put on that bomber jacket.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: And this forecast had shifted dramatically, and once again New
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: York State is in the crosshairs of a very dangerous,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: fast moving, potentially life threatening winter storm.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let me explain something because if you were listening
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to me Friday, and I said that the storm is
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: going to be about one to three inches, and all them,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the good Weather Service, there's a lot of junk weather
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: services out there aren't very accurate, but the really good
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: ones ACI Weather, Weather Channel, they're pretty good. I mean
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: they really accurate. It was one to three inches and
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: then and some people think, well the weather they like
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: to hype it up. They're always wrong. They're not really wrong.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: You can't find a case of them being wrong or
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: hyping it up. What happens is a storm changes course.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: It could go this way, it could go that way,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: even up to a day before. It can change course,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: or it can slow down or speed up come at
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a different time, but it's mostly changing course. On Friday,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the course was that it would go way offshore and
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: miss us we'd get a little bit of it on
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the fringe, but it changed course and was heading right
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: for us. So the problem is people check the weather
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: on Friday and then don't check it again. So when
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: it says one inch on Friday and you get eighteen,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: they think the weather was wrong. Had you been checking
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: it all the time. As of like twenty hours before
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the storm, they had it up to ten inches, twelve inches,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: and then it got twelve to eighteen. So the weather
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: gets it right. You just have to keep checking it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: It's like a stock price. You can't look at it Friday,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: that's the price today. So the State of the Union
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: speech is tomorrow night. That's going to be a big,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: big thing Democrats. It's a big chance for them to
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: look ridiculous and childish and pout and throw their temper tantrums.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Remember Nancy Pelosi ripping up the President's speech one of
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the most disgusting, tacky, juvenile, tantrum, child ridiculous things. So
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: this year they're going to have a separate state. They're
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: going to have their own State of the Union out
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: in the park the National Mall. It's going to look ridiculous.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, a lot of Democrats will be at that
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: alternate stadium. Chuck Schumer will go to the real one,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: he says.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: As of now, because I respect the whole institution, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't respect Donald Trump one bit, I will go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: But the bottom line is there are a lot of
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: my colleagues who aren't going to go, and I tell
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: them that's I think that's fine with me. Everyone should
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: make his own choice.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: If you hooked a light detector up to him, or
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: you injected him with truth theorem, he would be saying
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: to you, I don't like the President, but I am
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: gonna go. I think it's very important for me to
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: go because it's tons of TV cameras and because of
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: my feud with the president, they'll keep putting the camera
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: on me and I'll get a lot of FaceTime on camera,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and that's the reason I'm going. If you said the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: check showre it is gonna be a first stay of
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the Union, not televised, there'll be no cameras. He wouldn't
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: even be there. He's just there for the cameras. He's
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: got his new glasses, clean, the lenses and everything. He's
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: got one of those cheap suits that he'll wear, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that's the only reason going to be on TV. Same
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: thing with Hakeem Jefferies. He knows being such an opponent,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: they'll keep putting him on camera, and that's the only
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: reason he's going stay of the Union. The President will
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: talk about tariffs, all that stuff.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: And.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You know, we'll get to this coming up. The tariff ruling.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: But Supreme Court was a real chance for fake news
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: to go really old fashioned fake, you as fake as
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: they can go. So if you're watching even the ABC
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Sunday Show or the nightly news, the headline when the
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: tariff declared illegal by the Court, the headline was President
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Trump's signature, signature economic policy overturned by the Supreme stunning.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: First of all, it's not his signature economic policies. Signature
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: economic policy would be the big beautiful bill. The tariff
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: was one tool in the toolbox with many tools in it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And the other thing they kept lying about the President
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: when he heard the news, he did a press conference
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: later where he really went after the court and he
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: basically said, we're going to do the tariffs anyway. We'll
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: find a way to do him. We're going to keep
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: doing them no matter what the court says. And then
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: all the fake news, every newscast opened with unprecedented response,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: unprecedented rescs. But defying the court as is unprecedent. Now,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: of course, this is a total lie by fake news.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: If you're the MSNBC type, you're watching this like a bobblehead,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: you're nodding, then you're all repeating to each other. It's
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: unprecedented the way he It happens all the time. I'll
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: give you a recent example of what Joe Biden would
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: forgive the student loans. Supreme Court overturned it. Biden immediately
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: held a press conference announcing that he was going to
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: defy the court. He was going to do it anyway.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: He didn't care what the hell the court said. He
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: was going to go ahead with the plan. They'll still
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: find a way to do it. It's done all the time.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Whenever this is a Supreme Court ruling democrats don't like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: they just ignore it and continue. Here's aoc on. This
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: is a few years ago Supreme Court ruling she didn't like.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: There has been thought, I believe given to this. Senator
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Ron Wyden has already issued statements, for example, advising what
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: we should do in a situation like this, which I
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: concur which is that I believe that the Biden administration
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: should ignore this ruling.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a Democrats way of handling Supreme Court rules
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: they don't like, totally them and out and out defy them.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: So it's not unprecedented. Thank you to NBC, CBSABC, everybody
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: for just out and out lying to their viewers unprecedented response.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: So hey, mar Alago. This weekend, a assassin showed up
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: with a shotgun and a big can of gasoline, got
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: over the fence, went through the perimeter, was on the property.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Confronted by Secret Service and local police. They told them
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: to drop the weapon, drop the gas can. They had
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: their weapons out. They told him to drop his weapon.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Instead he raised his weapon and aimed it the shotgun,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and of course then they shot and killed them. There's
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: something unusual about these assassins, the one in Butler, Pennsylvania,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: this one on Saturday. These are the only they're young.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: They're all like twenty, you know, twenty years old. They're
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the only young people that have no social media presence
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: of any kind. Nothing very suspicious. It's very very very unusual.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: So uh, and obviously he's not too great at using
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the internet. If you check the President's schedule, he should
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: get on the list. We get we get sent the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: President's schedule every night for the next day. If you
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: looked at the president's schedule, he was not going to
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: be in Florida this weekend. The big governor's conference was
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: at the White House Friday, and then Saturday night there's
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a big dinner for all the governors at the White House.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: So this was one weekend the president was not going
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: to be in Florida. So the assassin showed up with
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: his shotgun. No president there, just the old ladies of
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: mar Lago on the dining room going, oh my god,
