- 1:02Speaker 4: the work ethic. But wait a minute, wait a minute.
- 1:05Speaker 4: I know we got to talk to Jake Novak and
- 1:07Speaker 4: so on. But you've had a busy couple of days,
- 1:10Speaker 4: a new addition to your family.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Well, you know, my my son had another son at
- 1:19Speaker 3: the midnight Friday night Friday morning congratulation, and I found
- 1:25Speaker 3: I woke up my usual time three or four in
- 1:27Speaker 3: the morning. I found out then, and uh naturally I
- 1:31Speaker 3: called them J four, And I didn't find out until
- 1:34Speaker 3: that point what what what the kid's name was? His
- 1:40Speaker 3: name it He named it after my uh my father
- 1:44Speaker 3: Andreas from the from the Greek islands, and her her
- 1:51Speaker 3: grandfather who she adored, My Meghan's grandfather uh in his
- 1:56Speaker 3: name from Sicily, another bigger island, and Angelo Angelo. So
- 2:08Speaker 3: he's I guess half Greek half the singing. Is that
- 2:12Speaker 3: a good combination? I know sounds good to me.
- 2:15Speaker 5: I don't know most of my favorite restaurants.
- 2:18Speaker 3: So the problem, we got a big problem over the week,
- 2:21Speaker 3: A big problem, you know. First of all, me and
- 2:23Speaker 3: Margot had to take care of J three because J
- 2:27Speaker 3: three felt abandoned. He was by himself out. J three
- 2:33Speaker 3: is fourteen months old. He was so sad because his
- 2:39Speaker 3: mother and father were gone from Thursday night, so Thursday,
- 2:43Speaker 3: Friday Saturday, so we took over on Saturday. I was
- 2:49Speaker 3: in Hampton's and I came back a Saturday afternoon to
- 2:53Speaker 3: start taking care of things along with Margot, and we
- 2:57Speaker 3: perked him up you know he was, he just out sad.
- 3:01Speaker 3: I mean, I guess when you used to being with
- 3:03Speaker 3: your mother and father twenty four to seven? Correct?
- 3:07Speaker 1: You know?
- 3:08Speaker 3: Yet sad? And uh? And then the big the big
- 3:12Speaker 3: thing I was gonna call I call them J four
- 3:15Speaker 3: naturally the new baby, but with Angela Andrea's Angelo. What
- 3:22Speaker 3: do you call them double A?
- 3:24Speaker 6: I don't know?
- 3:26Speaker 3: And then they don't want me to call them J
- 3:29Speaker 3: four and uh uh the oh, So I'm gonna tell
- 3:35Speaker 3: your thing. I'm gonna tell you one important thing that
- 3:38Speaker 3: I had tears in my eyes. You know, babies, grandkids,
- 3:44Speaker 3: there's such a thing as cell memory. Cell memory is
- 3:49Speaker 3: what does your great grandfather, your your forefathers pass on
- 3:54Speaker 3: to you. Wow? And because they pass on something, because
- 4:00Speaker 3: that's the way our creator created us. So Friday night,
- 4:08Speaker 3: after the show, me and Margot go to the hospital
- 4:11Speaker 3: and I'm holding him in my hands. Uh, and his
- 4:15Speaker 3: eyes are closed. He's been sleeping all day, he was.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I guess I got this seven o'clock after the show.
- 4:22Speaker 3: And at seven o'clock he was, oh my god, fifteen
- 4:27Speaker 3: hours old. Wow. And his eyes were closed and his
- 4:32Speaker 3: hands were all wrapped up. And you know, I used
- 4:35Speaker 3: to call my son John Junior, a Greek traditional name.
- 4:40Speaker 3: It's the other name of of John. It's called it's
- 4:44Speaker 3: called Yanni. And we used to be but John Junior
- 4:50Speaker 3: gave up his name to Jay three and calls him Yanni.
- 4:54Speaker 3: So I got this, this little munchkin in my in
- 4:59Speaker 3: my arm. I'm fifteen hours old, fifteen hours old, and
- 5:03Speaker 3: he's sleeping and his eyes are closed. He hasn't opened
- 5:06Speaker 3: his eyes, according to his mother and father. And I
- 5:10Speaker 3: say the words Yanni, Yanni. He opens up his eyes,
- 5:18Speaker 3: takes his arms and spreads him out that he understood
- 5:24Speaker 3: or that those words had meaning to him. And wow,
- 5:28Speaker 3: I had tears in my eyes, and I certified that
- 5:36Speaker 3: there were I think there is some such thing that
- 5:39Speaker 3: cell memory, where some of the things are passed on.
- 5:44Speaker 3: So we still need a nickname for him. Wait, and
- 5:50Speaker 3: Jake helped me out here.
- 5:51Speaker 4: So this you're saying, this goes back for for your grandfather.
- 5:55Speaker 3: You believe Yanni goes he goes back. My father called
- 6:00Speaker 3: me Yanik. I called my son John Junior Yanni, and
- 6:05Speaker 3: we called Ja three Yanni. Okay, I mean just Greek tradition, right, Yes,
- 6:14Speaker 3: Jay four, fifteen hours old sleeping is not reacting to
- 6:21Speaker 3: anything in the room. And and I whispered in a
- 6:26Speaker 3: nice words there Yanni.
- 6:30Speaker 4: So wait, Jake, so, mister Kasmini, did you feel a
- 6:34Speaker 4: special bond with the baby?
- 6:37Speaker 3: I mean immediately? And do you think he felt it
- 6:39Speaker 3: immediately with Grandpa? I felt it that there was a
- 6:45Speaker 3: mental you know, there is such a thing as mental
- 6:49Speaker 3: some you know, we don't understand the brain, our creators,
- 6:54Speaker 3: we don't understand it. And I think we are still
- 6:57Speaker 3: developing further and further and further. And it is, it is,
- 7:05Speaker 3: It is nice. It is strange. But I believe in
- 7:12Speaker 3: some kind of energy telepathy that you know, but it
- 7:17Speaker 3: works buff ways. I also believe in. And by the way,
- 7:22Speaker 3: Jake Novak, you're here since five o'clock in the morning.
- 7:24Speaker 3: You're doing the news and dominic. You were here at
- 7:27Speaker 3: midnight last night, at eleven o'clock one and the when
- 7:36Speaker 3: there's negative news that's also teleported that all the people
- 7:42Speaker 3: out there that pee, a lot of people hate. I've
- 7:47Speaker 3: seen this happen. Bad things happen to them. In other words,
- 7:53Speaker 3: if you are an s ob and you are a
- 7:57Speaker 3: hate hated person, a lot of bad things happening. Because
- 8:03Speaker 3: if you have a lot of mental telepathy. On the negative,
- 8:08Speaker 3: there's negative. You know, your body feels it, your brain
- 8:12Speaker 3: feels it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So there's
- 8:18Speaker 3: love telepathy of love, telepathy of cell memory. I don't
- 8:26Speaker 3: think we really understand the brain. And I guess in
- 8:33Speaker 3: medicine right now, my belief medicine, maybe we'll get doctor
- 8:37Speaker 3: Mihilo's a doctor Siegel on later on. It's it's moving
- 8:43Speaker 3: of warp speed. And the other bad thing about that
- 8:49Speaker 3: is I've seen it. How many friends have we lost
- 8:52Speaker 3: in the last A lot too many the last thirty
- 8:56Speaker 3: forty days. Ernie and Nasties eighty two years old. He
- 9:00Speaker 3: looked like he was sixty two. Sure did a Captain
- 9:03Speaker 3: Mammott who had a podcast, And I mean he was
- 9:10Speaker 3: a good guy. You know, he was in great shape
- 9:15Speaker 3: until he's about eighty seven, eighty eight, and when he
- 9:17Speaker 3: turned eighty eight he started going downhill. So it looks
- 9:22Speaker 3: like our creator, our creator has a death gene. That
- 9:32Speaker 3: take picture number ninety years old, give or take five years.
- 9:37Speaker 3: That at ninety give or take five years, you start
- 9:41Speaker 3: to fall off the cliff. So what can we do?
- 9:47Speaker 3: I hope they find that death scene before I get
- 9:49Speaker 3: to the nice.
- 9:51Speaker 7: You know, you know what, all that stuff you're talking about,
- 9:53Speaker 7: all this emotional stuff, it's making me think of how
- 9:56Speaker 7: you know, the biggest obsession in the world right now
- 9:59Speaker 7: is AI and that moment with your new grandson and
- 10:02Speaker 7: say that, A.
- 10:03Speaker 5: I can't do that. You know, there's nothing it's a
- 10:06Speaker 5: great thing.
- 10:07Speaker 3: But can I tell you something. It's all b s
- 10:11Speaker 3: in my opinion. And they're spending trillions of dollars trillions
- 10:16Speaker 3: and uh lesla. And you know what AI is number one.
- 10:21Speaker 3: It's only as good as the programmers. Okay, it doesn't
- 10:26Speaker 3: have any human capabilities. In other words, we're able to
- 10:30Speaker 3: make human reactions to things. AI. It's a super duper
- 10:38Speaker 3: super computer, and it's only as good as the programmer.
- 10:44Speaker 3: I don't forget my god. Sixty years ago, sixty years ago,
- 10:50Speaker 3: say fifty five, sixty years ago, I program all the
- 10:55Speaker 3: company's computers. And you know why I quit Because I
- 11:01Speaker 3: found myself. I found myself being the company programmer versus
- 11:10Speaker 3: versus running the company.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Okay, but wait a minute, mister Kasman, tis because I
- 11:14Speaker 4: heard your wife mentioned this before. I know you always
- 11:18Speaker 4: say that, but but I prefer to.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Say, mister Catsman TD's but wait a minute, I really
- 11:23Speaker 3: want to focus on this for a second.
- 11:24Speaker 4: So and Jake, I mean because I didn't fully get this.
- 11:29Speaker 4: So not only were you running your supermarket at such
- 11:31Speaker 4: a young age, you actually programmed the computer, because your
- 11:35Speaker 4: wife has told this story, program the computer yourself. Yes,
- 11:39Speaker 4: and this is many years ago.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Yes, and I created programs that didn't exist before because
- 11:44Speaker 3: I wanted to see the analysis of how I see things. Uh,
- 11:52Speaker 3: and and exactly a normal executive cannot say that to
- 12:02Speaker 3: a computer programmer to create programs. It takes somebody that's
- 12:07Speaker 3: running the company and wanting to know the results the
- 12:12Speaker 3: way we want to know.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Okay, but mister Katsman CD's and I agree with that,
- 12:16Speaker 4: because you got to have the information you at the
- 12:19Speaker 4: inside of it. But how does one say that, you know,
- 12:22Speaker 4: here we are on this memorial day, John Katzman, TDS,
- 12:25Speaker 4: Jake Novak myself dominate card. How does one say I'm
- 12:29Speaker 4: going to program the computer? Like, what's the first step.
- 12:31Speaker 4: I'm just curious, how does that work?
- 12:33Speaker 8: Well?
- 12:34Speaker 3: First, you have the simple things, the simple and I'm
- 12:37Speaker 3: doing that right now, demanding better programs from you know,
- 12:42Speaker 3: we took over. It took over as CEO of the
- 12:44Speaker 3: Ferry Hawks in Staten Island, and I'm demanding better, better
- 12:49Speaker 3: reports to understand what is happening. How can we get
- 12:53Speaker 3: more people in the seats, How we can get the
- 12:58Speaker 3: UH in, How we analyze uh the salespeople. How do
- 13:05Speaker 3: we analyze all the all the employees. Who's doing the work,
- 13:10Speaker 3: who should get the bonuses, and who's not doing the work.
- 13:13Speaker 7: Getting back to sixty years ago, were you working with
- 13:14Speaker 7: an IBM mainframe? But these are the little cars, the
- 13:17Speaker 7: d figures.
- 13:19Speaker 3: No no, I hated IBM with those little cards.
- 13:23Speaker 5: Okay, you hated this.
- 13:25Speaker 3: So the the computers that came out at that time
- 13:28Speaker 3: was a MAI Basic four, which was you create a
- 13:35Speaker 3: program and the program those little cards instead of being cards,
- 13:40Speaker 3: it's uh line items in a program computer.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Who made that? Who made them?
- 13:44Speaker 9: AI?
- 13:45Speaker 3: Oh, MAI Basic four? I forget was it was it?
- 13:48Speaker 3: HV no no no no Management Information SOSIGN. You know
- 13:53Speaker 3: you're at that fifty five eight sixty years oh years ago.
- 13:59Speaker 3: And it was a good system. It was under basic
- 14:03Speaker 3: for language, and it was simple language. And the problem
- 14:09Speaker 3: is you create the program and it actually makes you
- 14:13Speaker 3: smarter because it takes your brain, and as you're creating
- 14:17Speaker 3: the program, you have to realize what errors are going
- 14:23Speaker 3: to come out. In other words, crap in equals crap
- 14:27Speaker 3: out right. If you don't program it to do it right,
- 14:32Speaker 3: you get ER two, er eleven, Era fourteen, era fifteen,
- 14:37Speaker 3: And it teaches your mind to pre anticipate the errors
- 14:42Speaker 3: and put all the options in.
- 14:43Speaker 7: All right, let's not make an error. I want to
- 14:44Speaker 7: get you the traffic update from Apple Bank.
- 14:46Speaker 5: We need that first break.

- 15:53Speaker 1: Red Apple Podcast Network. Just Sid and Friends in the Morning,
- 16:03Speaker 1: entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast networks.
- 16:09Speaker 4: So wait, wait before we Jake, before we get to
- 16:11Speaker 4: the topic going back to Brooklyn Tech. I know you're
- 16:14Speaker 4: very involved in the activities with the school and so on.
- 16:17Speaker 3: And when you say.
- 16:18Speaker 4: Brooklyn Tech, I think of the Bronx and Mom Donnie
- 16:21Speaker 4: going to Bronx High School of Science.
- 16:23Speaker 3: That's the only thing. We had a big fight over
- 16:26Speaker 3: real life. To him, Brooklyn Tech is better than Broock Science.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Madamie says back to me, he says, well, John, we
- 16:32Speaker 3: may agree on other stuff, but we'll never agree on that. Well,
- 16:35Speaker 3: I thought Stuyvesant was number one. No, listen, you picked
- 16:41Speaker 3: what he is. But let me tell you something about
- 16:43Speaker 3: the specialized high schools. Brooklyn Tech, Stuyvesant and Brock Science
- 16:50Speaker 3: all great schools. That's the reality. You know, we could
- 16:54Speaker 3: have rivalry amongst ourselves, but that's fine. But they took
- 17:00Speaker 3: the kids from the inner city. You know where I'm from, domination.
- 17:05Speaker 3: I'm not ashamed. I'm from one hundred and thirty fifth Street,
- 17:08Speaker 3: you know, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue and on the
- 17:12Speaker 3: west side of Manhattan. And I went to PS one
- 17:15Speaker 3: ninety two across from Lewison Stadium City College, and there
- 17:23Speaker 3: were all grade schools took the kids that could pass
- 17:26Speaker 3: their test, and it gave us a chance to do
- 17:32Speaker 3: a little bit better, only if we worked hard. In
- 17:36Speaker 3: other words, if we didn't work hard. You could take
- 17:40Speaker 3: a camel to water, but you can't make him drink it.
- 17:43Speaker 3: You know, you're given an opportunity to work hard and
- 17:48Speaker 3: make it something better. Of yourself and Brooklyn Tech, Bronch Science,
- 17:53Speaker 3: Stuyvesant are great schools. And they took our inner circle
- 17:59Speaker 3: kids in a circle or inner city kids that needed
- 18:03Speaker 3: a little bit of help, and he couldn't afford to
- 18:05Speaker 3: go to private schools or whatever. He gave it made
- 18:10Speaker 3: a difference.
- 18:10Speaker 4: Highly competitive. But the reason why I focused on Brooklyn
- 18:13Speaker 4: Tech is you mentioned the radio station. I didn't know
- 18:16Speaker 4: that our high school has a radio.
- 18:18Speaker 3: We had our own radio station. If you look at
- 18:21Speaker 3: the old pictures of UH of Brooklyn Tech, there was
- 18:24Speaker 3: a big antenna on top of the Brooklyn Tech. And
- 18:30Speaker 3: one of our courses we taught, we taught everything. We
- 18:33Speaker 3: taught foundry, we talked, taught machine shop, we talked, we
- 18:38Speaker 3: we talked the architecture, we taught radio. UH and and
- 18:46Speaker 3: you know, me and Len Len Riggio went to it.
- 18:49Speaker 3: He finished this class of fifty eight and he's passed now.
- 18:53Speaker 3: And UH when when Mike Weiss came to us, he was,
- 18:59Speaker 3: by the way, he was my physics teacher at Brooklyn Tech.
- 19:03Speaker 3: And and I think it's named Perry came to us
- 19:08Speaker 3: and wanted to raise money. They said, oh, okay, we
- 19:10Speaker 3: raised five thousand, ten thousand, dollars for the Brooklyn Tech Foundation,
- 19:16Speaker 3: and me and Lenriggio being from Manhattan and being used
- 19:20Speaker 3: to all these Jewish dinners, Jake, you know, I.
- 19:24Speaker 7: Haven't even mentioned my high school, Eshiva Blacklush, which even
- 19:26Speaker 7: better than all.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Jewish dinner in New York. If you don't raise a
- 19:29Speaker 3: million dollars your faith. In those days, I was running
- 19:33Speaker 3: raising money for the Democratic National Committee too. If you
- 19:36Speaker 3: don't raise a million dollars, you're a failure. Well, me
- 19:39Speaker 3: and len Riggio looked at each other and said ten
- 19:41Speaker 3: thousand dollars. I said, we're going to raise a million dollars.
- 19:45Speaker 3: And we raised the million dollars for the Brooklyn Tech
- 19:49Speaker 3: Foundation to help the schools. The school get computers and
- 19:56Speaker 3: things that that the Border of Education wasn't supplying. After
- 20:01Speaker 3: me and len Riggio did it, and Mike Wise was
- 20:04Speaker 3: the president or whatever he.
- 20:06Speaker 8: Was that.
- 20:08Speaker 3: And Kelly's Perry, they were in charge of the foundation
- 20:14Speaker 3: and to buy things for the high school that the
- 20:20Speaker 3: Board of Education wasn't buying.
- 20:22Speaker 5: You know who's a great spokesperson for Brooklyn Tech right now,
- 20:24Speaker 5: our former colleague Janine Ramirez means yes, yes, she's a
- 20:28Speaker 5: great I mentioned her for girls.
- 20:31Speaker 3: And the girls that entered at high school till the
- 20:34Speaker 3: nineteen seventies, and it's a great school. And the foundation
- 20:40Speaker 3: you're ready for this is up to almost twenty million dollars. Wow,
- 20:44Speaker 3: for high school. And after we did it, After we
- 20:50Speaker 3: did it, Bronx Science did it. I don't know how
- 20:53Speaker 3: much they were up to Anne Stuyvesant did it. In
- 20:56Speaker 3: other words, the kids that went to Bronx Science, Stuivesant,
- 21:01Speaker 3: Brooklyn techt respected the fact that they had nothing, and
- 21:06Speaker 3: when they finished those schools, they became something better.
- 21:10Speaker 7: John Casteitez, you were hitting a very raw nerve for me,
- 21:13Speaker 7: because I love when I hear people raising money for schools,
- 21:16Speaker 7: especially at that lower left. Forget about universities, high schools
- 21:19Speaker 7: and lower you talked about Jewish charities. If I have
- 21:21Speaker 7: to hear, I mean the amount of money that's raised
- 21:24Speaker 7: for Look, it's important to understand the Holocaust and things
- 21:27Speaker 7: like that. But if we only raised as much money
- 21:29Speaker 7: in my community for Jewish high schools and lower schools
- 21:33Speaker 7: as we do for these other projects, it's just so
- 21:37Speaker 7: good for you.
- 21:39Speaker 3: High school about a month ago.
- 21:42Speaker 7: Excellent, And that's the school I went to, Yeshiva Flatbush
- 21:46Speaker 7: on Avenue J in Midwood, it's called Yeshiva Flatbush, just
- 21:50Speaker 7: steps away from Midod High School.
- 21:51Speaker 5: Which was a competitor at Brooklyn Tech.
- 21:54Speaker 3: But Midwood was a football competitive.
- 21:57Speaker 7: Football competitor and not so much, but Midwood was. That's
- 21:59Speaker 7: another place I said, has a broadcast program as well.
- 22:02Speaker 7: And then of course Murrow High School is a big
- 22:04Speaker 7: one there as well. But it's it's our high schools,
- 22:07Speaker 7: you know. I tell people all the time. All my
- 22:09Speaker 7: colleagues over the years would ask me, you know, what
- 22:10Speaker 7: should we do with college? And I would say, like,
- 22:12Speaker 7: if your kids are still about to go into high school,
- 22:14Speaker 7: if you have to make a sacrifice for either college
- 22:16Speaker 7: or high school, make it for high school. It's so
- 22:18Speaker 7: much more important if you're already eighteen years old. In
- 22:22Speaker 7: some ways, it's too late. It's too late. This is
- 22:24Speaker 7: I mean, this is, by the way, my biggest problem
- 22:26Speaker 7: with all the programs at universities for admissions for students.
- 22:29Speaker 7: It doesn't help, it doesn't work. I don't care about
- 22:31Speaker 7: all the fairness it came through. Twelve is that we
- 22:34Speaker 7: have to fix. So I'm glad that you're John, You're
- 22:36Speaker 7: getting involved. You know, you've been so involved for so
- 22:38Speaker 7: long with your own school. That's that's where we need
- 22:40Speaker 7: to put our efforts.
- 22:41Speaker 3: You know, if people respect their schools, you know, you
- 22:46Speaker 3: go back and do it. And when I ended up,
- 22:50Speaker 3: I was I had the congressional nomination. As I worked
- 22:52Speaker 3: in politics. William Congressman William fitz Ryan on the West
- 22:56Speaker 3: Side was my congressman because I lived on thirty fifth
- 23:00Speaker 3: Street and I worked for him when I was fourteen
- 23:03Speaker 3: years old and he gave me the congressional nomination to
- 23:07Speaker 3: West Point and I wanted, you know, I wanted to go,
- 23:12Speaker 3: and you know, I was an only child, and my
- 23:15Speaker 3: mother cried, my father yelled, We're gonna lose you, you know,
- 23:20Speaker 3: and I ended up going to NYU Uptown Campus. But
- 23:23Speaker 3: look at how it worked out, you know. You know
- 23:29Speaker 3: the book I wrote a lot, That's what I've spoke
- 23:32Speaker 3: to Yeshiva about their their business courses. And that book
- 23:40Speaker 3: I wrote makes a difference to young people. A lot
- 23:43Speaker 3: of grandmother's grandfathers buy it for their kids, a lot
- 23:46Speaker 3: of mother's fathers to try to inspire their kids. And
- 23:52Speaker 3: this is the kid from one hundred and thirty fifth
- 23:53Speaker 3: Street me what inspired me to go to the next
- 23:57Speaker 3: step and that was and and I try to say
- 24:04Speaker 3: that in the book and I'm just watching, is President
- 24:13Speaker 3: Trump will name the reef right now?
- 24:16Speaker 7: No, that won't be until noon. I talked about all
- 24:18Speaker 7: the pomp and circumstances. The circumstance. It starts at Arlington
- 24:22Speaker 7: National Cemetery about ten am. That's when the army bands
- 24:25Speaker 7: called Pershing, you know, I'm named after John Blackjack Pershing.
- 24:29Speaker 7: They start all those ceremonies. But at noon, the President
- 24:32Speaker 7: will lay the reef. And by the way, you know,
- 24:33Speaker 7: we talk about American traditions. We're very secular country, especially
- 24:37Speaker 7: the way we run our government. We don't have an
- 24:38Speaker 7: official religion, we don't have an official clergyman. But this
- 24:43Speaker 7: ceremony that we do every year at Arlington National Cemetery
- 24:45Speaker 7: is just amazing. And the idea that we have a
- 24:47Speaker 7: tomb of the unknowns. These are remains and so far
- 24:50Speaker 7: it's all men at this point, but remains of men
- 24:53Speaker 7: who have died in every one of our conflicts, who
- 24:55Speaker 7: have not who are not identified. They didn't have DNA
- 24:58Speaker 7: testing back there. The fact that we and by the way,
- 25:01Speaker 7: forget about just Memorial Day. If you've ever been to
- 25:03Speaker 7: the Tomb of the Unknowns. You know, it's Patrol twenty
- 25:05Speaker 7: four to seven by you as service member, men and
- 25:08Speaker 7: women marching around it. And when you go there, you
- 25:11Speaker 7: know you're supposed to be quiet. You don't laugh and
- 25:13Speaker 7: make jokes. You show some respect. But today is of
- 25:17Speaker 7: course a very special day when the president. The president
- 25:19Speaker 7: always does this, So that'll be about twelve twelve fifteen.
- 25:22Speaker 3: You know, it's Memorial Day and we're going to talk
- 25:24Speaker 3: about it. Today is a special day where we think
- 25:29Speaker 3: about the people that worked and fought in all ways
- 25:35Speaker 3: to make sure that we have a safe country. And
- 25:41Speaker 3: now we are being challenged, and well of the three
- 25:43Speaker 3: of us will talk about it again. Our country is
- 25:48Speaker 3: being challenged. And I'm very you know, I was a
- 25:51Speaker 3: Bill Clinton Democrat, and I still admire him. I'm going
- 25:56Speaker 3: to his birthday PLDDY, I think the week after. And
- 26:03Speaker 3: you know, we're being challenged. You know, I believe there's
- 26:07Speaker 3: wars in many many ways. There's a war with with
- 26:12Speaker 3: people looking to subvert our country, change our ways of life.
- 26:19Speaker 3: There's a war uh with education, trying to change the
- 26:25Speaker 3: education that our kids get. There's so many wars out there,
- 26:29Speaker 3: and the American people have to realize there's a war
- 26:33Speaker 3: with the drugs, absolutely drugs, alcohol in the amount of
- 26:41Speaker 3: our worldly Our leaders are congress people are congressmen, and
- 26:46Speaker 3: our congress women. There is you know, uh, look who
- 26:52Speaker 3: was the senator. The woman senator that had her driver
- 26:57Speaker 3: was a double.
- 26:57Speaker 5: Agent, Diane Finsteine.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Diane find for twenty years everything she said in the
- 27:03Speaker 3: car China New five minutes later. Well, you know, mister
- 27:08Speaker 3: Cassiman's is one of the reasons why we get upset,
- 27:11Speaker 3: and one of the reasons why I'm upset. You're right,
- 27:14Speaker 3: listen to you at midnight every night and your emotions
- 27:18Speaker 3: come out. They do, and the reason why they do.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Here is one example. And I know coming up soon
- 27:24Speaker 3: we're gonna talk to Todd Shapiro about what's happening to Hampton.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Shapiro is gonna go on at six forty five, tell
- 27:30Speaker 3: us is that did the Hamptons get rained out this weekend?
- 27:34Speaker 3: What it like everything else?
- 27:36Speaker 4: I'm sure he did right, But but what I want
- 27:38Speaker 4: to put out on the table to YouTube guys, how
- 27:41Speaker 4: many attempts. Okay, this guy didn't come close to assassinating
- 27:46Speaker 4: President Trump. It was clearly mentally ill, but how Why
- 27:49Speaker 4: can't we get back to the days of beds for
- 27:53Speaker 4: the mentally ill? Why do we let these people something
- 27:56Speaker 4: went wrong walk around the street when it not gonna
- 28:00Speaker 4: take their medication? Why are we in this situation? I
- 28:04Speaker 4: don't get it.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Because our leadership. You know, we are lucky. Whether you
- 28:10Speaker 3: like President Trump or don't like President Trump, we are
- 28:14Speaker 3: lucky to have somebody that really is a business person
- 28:19Speaker 3: and he's running the country the way a business has
- 28:21Speaker 3: been run. And I say that to people that the
- 28:24Speaker 3: fact is that if we're gonna give the Ukraine one
- 28:30Speaker 3: hundred billion dollars for helping you know what, Trump says,
- 28:35Speaker 3: you got to give us back one hundred billion in minerals.
- 28:39Speaker 3: In other words, there's no free ride in the in
- 28:43Speaker 3: the problem in the Democratic Party, Bill Clinton was smart enough.
- 28:49Speaker 3: JFK was smart enough. Any other people that were not
- 28:54Speaker 3: business people at all, and we're not really Uh, there's
- 29:00Speaker 3: something wrong someplace.
- 29:02Speaker 7: First, Dominic's referring to this incident at the White House
- 29:05Speaker 7: on Saturday six ten pm. A man named I see

- 31:27Speaker 3: The President texted again, And you know I told them
- 31:30Speaker 3: we're talking about it, that he made a difference in
- 31:34Speaker 3: the United States. He business wise. You know, it's not
- 31:39Speaker 3: about being a Republican or a Democrat. It's about loving America.
- 31:43Speaker 3: It's about being a businessman and a president. And if
- 31:48Speaker 3: we're going to give help to Venezuela and requests US

- 32:02Speaker 7: we're talking about how this is. This is someone with
- 32:05Speaker 7: a very long history of mental illness. It seems like
- 32:07Speaker 7: every shooting in America, whether the president of the cabinet
- 32:09Speaker 7: are involved or not, everybody knew.
- 32:11Speaker 5: It's like the old Saturday Night Live joke like did
- 32:13Speaker 5: you ever think he would do this?
- 32:14Speaker 9: Yes?
- 32:15Speaker 5: I did, I knew it. It's just incredible.
- 32:18Speaker 7: There's a huge flashing sign on a large number of
- 32:21Speaker 7: Americans saying help me, I'm dangerous, and you have this
- 32:25Speaker 7: pushback against the people would say, well, if you put
- 32:27Speaker 7: those people in jail, jail won't cure them. You know
- 32:29Speaker 7: what else won't cure them. The streets, streets aren't going
- 32:31Speaker 7: to cure them.
- 32:32Speaker 3: And I'll tell you some Dominic must not the numbers
- 32:35Speaker 3: going back ten fifteen years Dominic, I remember Rikers Island,
- 32:39Speaker 3: we had like twenty eight thousand people at one point,
- 32:43Speaker 3: and in the Bellevue type institutions we had twenty eight
- 32:47Speaker 3: thousand people, and I think we're down to six and
- 32:51Speaker 3: seven and six and seven and well, you know what
- 32:58Speaker 3: does that mean? Well, all the rest of them are
- 33:01Speaker 3: the rest of them? You know, maybe they then they
- 33:06Speaker 3: they make their budgets better, but the people are in
- 33:10Speaker 3: the streets harming your citizens.
- 33:12Speaker 5: Have either of you ever visited Rikers or a state psyess?
- 33:15Speaker 7: Okay, yes, so most people think if you go to
- 33:18Speaker 7: these places, you're gonna come out saying, oh, this is horrible.
- 33:21Speaker 7: You know what, every person I've ever met who's visited
- 33:23Speaker 7: Rikers or a state prison or even a federal supermaxs,
- 33:26Speaker 7: you know what everyone says when they leave, thank God
- 33:29Speaker 7: for this place. That's what they say, because they see
- 33:32Speaker 7: the type of people that the inmates are and they're like,
- 33:34Speaker 7: thank god they're here and not out there.
- 33:36Speaker 3: You know, you got eight and a half million people
- 33:39Speaker 3: in the city of New York, eight and a half
- 33:42Speaker 3: million people, And when you talk about having a twenty
- 33:47Speaker 3: eight and twenty eight thousand of mentally ill put away
- 33:52Speaker 3: in twenty eight thousand, that's like one, what's the percentage, well,
- 33:57Speaker 3: one half of one percentage, not even there are some
- 34:01Speaker 3: people that are not meant to be among civilized people.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Why make eight and a half million people miserable? Will
- 34:09Speaker 3: somebody tell that to the politicians? I mean I can
- 34:13Speaker 3: tell them everything every night.
- 34:15Speaker 4: I listen to you at midnight every night, every night,
- 34:18Speaker 4: what we try, but they just they're not listening. But
- 34:22Speaker 4: but that same argument could be made, right. I support
- 34:25Speaker 4: my friends in the transgender community, but the same.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Argument could be made there.
- 34:30Speaker 4: Why are we penalizing all women that want to engage
- 34:35Speaker 4: in sports to please less than one percent of of
- 34:41Speaker 4: men that that that may identify as women. I just
- 34:44Speaker 4: think it's dead wrong. And with this situation with your Twitter,
- 34:48Speaker 4: the other the other item that makes me angry to
- 34:51Speaker 4: put men in women's bathrooms, right.
- 34:56Speaker 3: I mean, give me a break. At what point have
- 34:59Speaker 3: we reached Brazil?
- 35:00Speaker 10: Our world?
- 35:01Speaker 6: Were there?
- 35:01Speaker 8: Now?
- 35:01Speaker 7: We have compassion, we have we understand that this is
- 35:04Speaker 7: a difficult but to endanger the many for the minuscule few.
- 35:09Speaker 7: And by the way, the number three there was point
- 35:11Speaker 7: zero zero three percent.
- 35:13Speaker 3: That's how much zero zero three one third of one
- 35:17Speaker 3: percent of the people, if they if they put away
- 35:21Speaker 3: in Bellevue type institutions and in right the Ireland. Guess what,
- 35:26Speaker 3: uh it's you make eight half people happy politicians, politicians,
- 35:35Speaker 3: I mean enough is enough? You know? And and we
- 35:39Speaker 3: have to straighten out the voting. And President Trump feels
- 35:43Speaker 3: very strongly about it, and people in Democratic Party feel
- 35:48Speaker 3: strongly about it. About seventy percent of the Democrats, seventy
- 35:52Speaker 3: or eighty percent of the Independence ninety percent of the
- 35:55Speaker 3: Republicans feel strongly that American one, American one vote and
- 36:01Speaker 3: voter I d Why does the leadership of the Democratic
- 36:06Speaker 3: Party refuse to acknowledge that? And it's wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong?
- 36:12Speaker 3: You know why?
- 36:13Speaker 4: They they're pandering to the far left, to the Alcs
- 36:17Speaker 4: of the world for votes.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Now, let me tell you one night and me, I
- 36:23Speaker 3: don't forget who was on We had Norman colemannhah on
- 36:26Speaker 3: Senator Norm Coleman, formerly of Brooklyn, sid Rosenberg's first cousin,
- 36:31Speaker 3: first cousin, I had another, yes, first cousin, and and
- 36:35Speaker 3: Norm Coleman, a Brooklyn was was this US senator in Minnesota.
- 36:41Speaker 3: He used to be the mayor of Saint Paul and
- 36:46Speaker 3: he won the last senatory election nine months later. They
- 36:53Speaker 3: determined he lost by three hundred and sixty votes.
- 36:58Speaker 5: Frank al Frank, Yeah, I mean that is.
- 37:02Speaker 3: You know, what do they do? I mean the joker
- 37:04Speaker 3: used to tell that they called Brooklyn or they called
- 37:07Speaker 3: Philadelphia for an extra a few thousand votes. I mean,
- 37:11Speaker 3: it is wrong. And election Day. The only reason you
- 37:16Speaker 3: have it for two weeks is because nobody can keep
- 37:19Speaker 3: track who's voting for two weeks. If you want to
- 37:24Speaker 3: have extended election, what I see, chested, election day is Tuesday,
- 37:29Speaker 3: and have it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and that's it.
- 37:35Speaker 3: If you can't vote those days and the only time
- 37:38Speaker 3: absentee balance. You know this COVID. They got a lot
- 37:42Speaker 3: of crap votes. I mean, does anybody really think that
- 37:47Speaker 3: Joe Biden got eighty one million votes more than Barack Obama.
- 37:53Speaker 4: I don't think Joe Biden believes that it's hard of
- 37:56Speaker 4: heart that he got.
- 37:58Speaker 3: But Joe Biden was a smart guy. But in the
- 38:00Speaker 3: last five years ten years he lost.
- 38:03Speaker 4: You mentioned accountability that President Trump has brought back, right,
- 38:07Speaker 4: I think the three of us, I don't mean to
- 38:09Speaker 4: speak for the both of you can agree that under
- 38:12Speaker 4: Biden there was very little accountability and as far as DEI,
- 38:17Speaker 4: as far as the border, as far as we can
- 38:21Speaker 4: go down the list that there was no accountability, it is.
- 38:23Speaker 5: The most accounted.
- 38:23Speaker 7: Listen, Love, I don't think he wants this necessarily, for
- 38:26Speaker 7: President Trump is objectively the most accountable president we've ever
- 38:30Speaker 7: had in American history.
- 38:31Speaker 5: Everything he does.
- 38:33Speaker 7: Three or four press conferences a day, and everything he
- 38:36Speaker 7: does is scrutinize. Everything he does is sent to court. Again,
- 38:39Speaker 7: you can hate President Trumps, you gotta admit.
- 38:41Speaker 3: And he's hired a team. He's hired accounting that's much
- 38:45Speaker 3: better than any team that any president's hadn't for a
- 38:50Speaker 3: long time.
- 38:50Speaker 7: Let's bring Ta Shapiro into our team because you know
- 38:54Speaker 7: a lot of candidates. We talk about candidates here. Of
- 38:57Speaker 7: course you can talk about candidates. I got to talk
- 38:58Speaker 7: about money, and we had had some some events in
- 39:02Speaker 7: the Hamptons this weekend. Uh, but everything was rained out.
- 39:06Speaker 7: But I guess they still raise some money. I mean,
- 39:08Speaker 7: tell what's the situation Todd in the Hampton's right now?
- 39:11Speaker 7: Because it's actually a national story. This is where a
- 39:13Speaker 7: lot of our national leaders come from. I guess, for
- 39:16Speaker 7: better or for worse.
- 39:17Speaker 11: Well, first, just before we get. I disagree one thing
- 39:22Speaker 11: you guys are arguing about. I think the more women
- 39:24Speaker 11: in the men's bathroom is a good thing. I'm arguing
- 39:29Speaker 11: with you guys on that. That might be a point,
- 39:31Speaker 11: but I mean not.
- 39:34Speaker 12: A political You know, you don't bring it on you
- 39:37Speaker 12: don't have any children.
- 39:38Speaker 3: When you have children, come back and talk to.
- 39:40Speaker 5: Me about Yeah, good point. I have two daughters, Todd. Sorry,
- 39:43Speaker 5: I got a daughter.
- 39:44Speaker 3: So the three of us wait a minute, Todd, the
- 39:46Speaker 3: three of us got that in common. We all have daughters.
- 39:48Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 39:49Speaker 3: Yeah, differently when you have a daughter, yes, And could
- 39:53Speaker 3: you imagine having men going into your daughter's bathroom? Can
- 39:58Speaker 3: you imagine them billing?
- 40:00Speaker 12: Tell me.
- 40:01Speaker 3: Against your daughter on the soccer team? Can you? I mean,
- 40:05Speaker 3: this is this is.
- 40:06Speaker 11: Go to a go to a night club. You've never
- 40:08Speaker 11: seen women running into the men's room.
- 40:11Speaker 9: Stop, No, I haven't.
- 40:13Speaker 5: That's an entirely different situation.
- 40:15Speaker 4: Time and and and most of the time when I
- 40:17Speaker 4: see women going into the men's room, sometimes it's not
- 40:20Speaker 4: for a good thing, Todd, it's for.
- 40:22Speaker 13: Uh, this is this is a scarface.
- 40:24Speaker 3: Come on, okay, okay, okay, okay.
- 40:27Speaker 11: So the report talking about that, we're not going there
- 40:30Speaker 11: go back.
- 40:31Speaker 3: To Todd, go back to normal. Stop with the nonsense. Okay,
- 40:36Speaker 3: stop the rain out this weekend, tell us about what
- 40:41Speaker 3: happened in the Hamptons.
- 40:42Speaker 11: The Hampton's rained out. But just there was a lot
- 40:44Speaker 11: of people out there. Every restaurant was packed. I was
- 40:48Speaker 11: at seventy five Main Street, John Holst every year.
- 40:52Speaker 13: Zach's Place, Zach's Place.
- 40:55Speaker 11: But I was there. I was there in the morning,
- 40:58Speaker 11: I was there at night.
- 40:59Speaker 9: At night.
- 41:00Speaker 11: It was incredible how many people were out. You know,
- 41:05Speaker 11: the just money, money, money, money, It was just incredible.
- 41:08Speaker 11: And the prices are even more incredible. But he runs
- 41:12Speaker 11: a great place.
- 41:13Speaker 13: But the morning, the political thing, the.
- 41:16Speaker 11: Political season, the fundraising season has begun. Bruce Blakeman was,
- 41:21Speaker 11: you know, was John's guest. John is a chairman of
- 41:24Speaker 11: We have a.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Breakfast every week and the New York Post carried it
- 41:28Speaker 3: and made a big deal out of it. But you know,
- 41:31Speaker 3: this is for father Alex and myself. We have we
- 41:36Speaker 3: host a breakfast for all friends, Jews, Greeks, Irish, Italians, everybody.
- 41:43Speaker 3: And it's not a fundraiser, but it gives him the
- 41:46Speaker 3: opportunity to meet at least fifty to one hundred business.
- 41:49Speaker 13: People, and the number one issue was taxes.
- 41:53Speaker 11: And you know, a lot of a lot of people
- 41:55Speaker 11: in the Hamptons, especially in that room, have other homes.
- 41:59Speaker 11: And I think, you know, with the present governor trying
- 42:02Speaker 11: to present where the a tax and that it's coming from,
- 42:06Speaker 11: I guess the city pushing in, you know, the city
- 42:08Speaker 11: mayor pushing in his agenda and making the governor a
- 42:12Speaker 11: little more, you know, a little less, you know, a
- 42:15Speaker 11: little weaker to take on, you know, his agenda out
- 42:19Speaker 11: in the state, which makes taxes a tough issue for everybody.
- 42:22Speaker 11: And I think a lot of those people, most of
- 42:24Speaker 11: those people, ninety nine point nine percent those people have
- 42:26Speaker 11: a second home. And you can't buy a home in
- 42:30Speaker 11: the Hamton. You can't have a piece of grass without
- 42:31Speaker 11: spending a million dollars. So everyone's going to be affected
- 42:34Speaker 11: by it, you know. And I just I think, you know,
- 42:37Speaker 11: Bruce Blakeman is getting traction. I think Hogo is still
- 42:41Speaker 11: very popular in the state. You're getting Bruce is definitely
- 42:45Speaker 11: you know, breaking barriers down. You know, he's getting a
- 42:48Speaker 11: lot more visibility. I mean, John's breakfast was amazing, the
- 42:52Speaker 11: type of people he had in that room and has
- 42:54Speaker 11: that room and the past, he's had the Speaker of
- 42:57Speaker 11: the House, he's had Johnson, he's had McCarthy, the governor,
- 43:03Speaker 11: you know, is coming. I think in August john has
- 43:05Speaker 11: has her coming in. So it's bipartisan, but you know,
- 43:09Speaker 11: you really learn the issues firsthand from the people of
- 43:11Speaker 11: what's really going on. I think people, as Jonathan's always says,
- 43:15Speaker 11: you know, they're really angry out there and they're seeing
- 43:18Speaker 11: a lot of They've seen a lot of problems. I
- 43:20Speaker 11: think the price of gas is going to affect a
- 43:23Speaker 11: lot of people being more local. They're not to be
- 43:25Speaker 11: going to Europe as much as they are because Plaine
- 43:28Speaker 11: prices have gone up. So you're seeing a lot more
- 43:31Speaker 11: people staying local. And even in the rain, you know,
- 43:34Speaker 11: on a rainy night, you would think, you know, a
- 43:35Speaker 11: restaurant would be empty. It was wall to wall. It
- 43:39Speaker 11: was crazy, and you know, I think that's happening.
- 43:42Speaker 4: Hey, Todd, it's dominic. You know, I'm a big fan
- 43:45Speaker 4: of yours. You mentioned that Bruce Blakeman, the Nasau County executive,
- 43:49Speaker 4: is getting traction. I agree with you one thousand percent.
- 43:53Speaker 4: The question is how much, and do you do you
- 43:56Speaker 4: see enough traction that he might be in this thing
- 43:59Speaker 4: to pull off a surprise.
- 44:00Speaker 11: So let me explain something to you and Eric Adams.
- 44:04Speaker 11: Would you like him hate him? It doesn't matter. It
- 44:06Speaker 11: doesn't matter now. But the bottom line is, you know.
- 44:09Speaker 13: He said something that made a lot of sense.
- 44:11Speaker 11: He said years ago people would only vote on social security.
- 44:15Speaker 11: Today they're voting on social media. You don't see, you know,
- 44:18Speaker 11: no one's knocking in your doors anymore. If you're knocking
- 44:21Speaker 11: someone's doing you probably throw them, you know, throw them out,
- 44:23Speaker 11: just like.
- 44:23Speaker 9: The bathroom I guess.
- 44:25Speaker 13: But the fact that the matter.
- 44:26Speaker 11: Is you're seeing, You're seeing everything is on social media.
- 44:29Speaker 11: You could you know, you're not reading local papers anymore.
- 44:31Speaker 11: You're on Facebook. The average age of Facebook is sixty
- 44:34Speaker 11: and over. The average age of Instagram is in their forties.
- 44:39Speaker 11: Every senior citizen is on Facebook. Everything going on. And
- 44:43Speaker 11: the reason you know the mayor got elected was was
- 44:46Speaker 11: a younger voting base. But it's all happening on social media,
- 44:50Speaker 11: and older people are on social media. So Bruce Blakeman
- 44:54Speaker 11: is and the President of the United State Trump made
- 44:56Speaker 11: his mark on social media and it had a huge,
- 45:00Speaker 11: a huge impact. I think you're see in that traction there.
- 45:03Speaker 11: If people Look at Bruce blakeman social media pages, Look
- 45:06Speaker 11: at a Madami's look look at his social media. That's
- 45:09Speaker 11: the reason he won the election.
- 45:11Speaker 13: It wasn't knock for those.
- 45:12Speaker 11: The fifty percent that we would vote for that we
- 45:15Speaker 11: know those people you know did not have They were
- 45:18Speaker 11: not affected the same way it was affected on the
- 45:21Speaker 11: computer or your cell phone.
- 45:23Speaker 3: Ton.
- 45:23Speaker 7: We just have about twenty seconds, but maybe I'd like
- 45:27Speaker 7: to get your thoughts really quickly on this. You know,
- 45:29Speaker 7: New York hasn't had a Jewish governor since Herbert Lehman,
- 45:32Speaker 7: and he was out of office in the forties. Bruce Blakeman,
- 45:36Speaker 7: I mean, can he carry can he get some of
- 45:38Speaker 7: these traditional Democrat voters to maybe switch and vote for
- 45:42Speaker 7: him this time based on all this anti semitism? Do
- 45:44Speaker 7: you think that might be a winning message among others
- 45:46Speaker 7: for him, in addition to the taxes and things like that.
- 45:49Speaker 11: I think, you know, judy Ism, anti Semitism becoming a
- 45:52Speaker 11: very strong issue. I think a Jewish governor, just like
- 45:55Speaker 11: if you could have a Muslim Muslim mayor, you could
- 45:58Speaker 11: have a Jewish governor, probably even stronger. I think the
- 46:01Speaker 11: suburbs are going to speak out a lot stronger. I
- 46:04Speaker 11: don't think they want it. They don't want socialism in
- 46:06Speaker 11: the state. I think it might resonate amongst young people,
- 46:09Speaker 11: but it may not be picked up that way. And
- 46:11Speaker 11: I think, you know, I think voices like WABC, which
- 46:14Speaker 11: Johanna's brought forth and changed, you're getting a lot of
- 46:18Speaker 11: back actually, a lot of people coming out and they're
- 46:21Speaker 11: speaking hard and Dominic, I'm a bigger fan of yours.
- 46:24Speaker 13: I think you're terrific. I think you're one of the
- 46:26Speaker 13: best things on radio.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Thank you man, Really appreciate it.
- 46:29Speaker 7: All right, six fifty eight Here in the morning here

- 47:52Speaker 7: thousand dollars minimum deposit required to open new money only.
- 47:56Speaker 7: Early withdrawal penalty may apply. And guys, we've been talking
- 48:00Speaker 7: a lot about that.
- 48:01Speaker 3: You talked about Apple Bank. Okay, let's talk about that.
- 48:04Speaker 3: I go back with Apple Bank, Oh my god, fifty years,
- 48:08Speaker 3: sixty years, and I remember I was president of the
- 48:11Speaker 3: Boy Scouts in New York City, in Manhattan and the
- 48:15Speaker 3: you know, I was doing it for ten years. And
- 48:19Speaker 3: the only way you can become unpresidented is by choosing
- 48:24Speaker 3: a successor, and I got I remember John Alfke, who
- 48:27Speaker 3: was one of the top guys in Apple Bank and
- 48:34Speaker 3: to take my place to become president of Manhattan Boy Scouts.
- 48:38Speaker 3: And I remember uh the the chairman CEO of Apple
- 48:43Speaker 3: Bank fifty years ago, sixty years ago that supported everything
- 48:47Speaker 3: we did. Forget I will remember at water, I think.
- 48:53Speaker 5: Is there a Boy Scouts?
- 48:54Speaker 7: But now the question is is there now a Boy
- 48:56Speaker 7: Scout patch for compound and interest?
- 48:58Speaker 3: You know, I guess not, I guess wow. And I
- 49:03Speaker 3: understand we're going to have Peter Kingkome on with us
- 49:05Speaker 3: right now. Dominic, why don't you bring him in? Well?
- 49:09Speaker 4: Congressman, so nice to chat with you on this Memorial
- 49:12Speaker 4: Day twenty twenty six. Jake Novaki, of course, mister Castlematiniz myself,
- 49:17Speaker 4: Dominic Carter, how are you doing this morning, Congressman?
- 49:21Speaker 14: Don't I'm doing fine. I have always to talking to
- 49:24Speaker 14: you Tuesday afternoon, but today is an added pleasure, but
- 49:28Speaker 14: sureious for today's Memorial Day. And probably no one does
- 49:31Speaker 14: more to honor veterans in New York and w ABC
- 49:34Speaker 14: and John and the entire crew there, and it really
- 49:37Speaker 14: is an important in these days that we have that
- 49:40Speaker 14: we stand by institutions, and no institution is more important
- 49:43Speaker 14: than the military, who defend our country in time of war,
- 49:47Speaker 14: who keeps the peace? And just to me is it's
- 49:51Speaker 14: so important that we not forget I know, the people
- 49:54Speaker 14: like the barbecue, who's in the different events on Memorial Day.
- 49:56Speaker 14: But really what it comes down to mostly is honoring
- 49:59Speaker 14: those the ultimate sacrifice. And also on a slightly separate issue,
- 50:04Speaker 14: if I could, let me give Governor David Patterson tremendous
- 50:07Speaker 14: credit for speaking out against the governor and the state
- 50:10Speaker 14: legislature and supporting ICE and supporting the rights of CAT
- 50:14Speaker 14: executives like Bruce Plinkman to enter into agreements cooperation agreements
- 50:18Speaker 14: between the police and ICE and John you know you're
- 50:22Speaker 14: always say where the commis end's Democrats, Well there's one
- 50:25Speaker 14: right now. What David Patterson has done. He's always been
- 50:27Speaker 14: a great guy, but to do it today really takes
- 50:30Speaker 14: a lot of guts because his party has gone so
- 50:32Speaker 14: far to the left and he's really taking them on
- 50:35Speaker 14: on this issue. And again he's a true Democrat, he's
- 50:38Speaker 14: more importantly, he's a true American.
- 50:40Speaker 3: Well with David Patterson, Governor Patterson made it to the
- 50:44Speaker 3: a big article on New York Post based what he
- 50:48Speaker 3: talked about on my show, to Catch round Table yesterday morning,
- 50:52Speaker 3: and maybe we'll have justin, Maybe we'll have Governor Patterson
- 50:56Speaker 3: call in and see how he feels about things after
- 50:58Speaker 3: Peter King when the look I was a remember the
- 51:03Speaker 3: Democratic Party Congressman William fitz Ryan gave me the congressional
- 51:07Speaker 3: nomination to West Point. Uh you got. I mean there
- 51:13Speaker 3: was a lot of great Democrats, but the Democratic Socialist Party,
- 51:18Speaker 3: the Democratic Socialist Party on their own can only get
- 51:22Speaker 3: two percent of the vote they have. They decided, let's
- 51:26Speaker 3: use our money, whether or ever wherever it's coming from,
- 51:30Speaker 3: foreign money, wherever it's coming from, to take over the
- 51:36Speaker 3: Democratic Party and then we have a chance of winning.
- 51:40Speaker 3: And the Democratic Party has has a lot of soul searching.
- 51:44Speaker 3: I even had on Friday. Doug Shoan was on our show.
- 51:47Speaker 3: And the Democratic Party has to go back to normal.
- 51:53Speaker 14: Well, you mentioned Doug shown he's a great guy and
- 51:57Speaker 14: that's why some people just attack Democrats. Was my parents
- 52:01Speaker 14: are Democrats. Then he was came for Democratic backgrounds, and
- 52:04Speaker 14: you think of Democrats like Ed Catch Joe Lieberman. You
- 52:07Speaker 14: couldn't Shue Jackson. You couldn't find better people than those.
- 52:10Speaker 14: But again, right now, this party, the late is today
- 52:13Speaker 14: has gone so farther left. So I'm not here to
- 52:16Speaker 14: make a big partisan argument versus to say that in
- 52:19Speaker 14: times when it appears that at least one party has
- 52:21Speaker 14: gone way off the cliff, there are good people like
- 52:24Speaker 14: David Pattison out there. Hopefully he can bring it back
- 52:26Speaker 14: and we can have really intelligent political debates. And that's
- 52:30Speaker 14: some of the insanity that's going on today. And also
- 52:33Speaker 14: you're talking before the talk Tapiro about Bruce Blakeman. I
- 52:36Speaker 14: think Bruce has an outstanding chance to win. When I
- 52:39Speaker 14: look at the polls and they say that Katy Hope
- 52:42Speaker 14: was winning by thirteen or fourteen points, the fact is,
- 52:45Speaker 14: to me, the key number is of favorable numbers. They're
- 52:48Speaker 14: usually around forty five and forty six. She's headed Bruce
- 52:51Speaker 14: like forty six thirty four. Well, I've been in politics
- 52:53Speaker 14: long enough to know if you're the incumbent and you've
- 52:55Speaker 14: been in office for four or five years and you
- 52:58Speaker 14: can't get fifty percent of people will say that for you.
- 53:01Speaker 14: That means those that's firt ground for Bruce to make up,
- 53:04Speaker 14: and a lot of those people are, there's some chances
- 53:06Speaker 14: they're looking somewhere else. I think Bruce's campaign so hunt,
- 53:10Speaker 14: he's making tremendous in roads. So I definitely can see
- 53:13Speaker 14: Bruce winning in November.
- 53:15Speaker 3: He has a good shot. He has a good shot.
- 53:19Speaker 3: We're trying to reach him this morning. Have him come
- 53:22Speaker 3: on later on. If you reach him, Peter, let him
- 53:25Speaker 3: know that we're trying to reach him. And you know
- 53:28Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And he was at the breakfast on
- 53:32Speaker 3: Saturday morning, and you've spoken to that breakfast many many times.
- 53:37Speaker 3: And you know what I said, Bruce Blakman, you made
- 53:42Speaker 3: Nassau County the safest county in America. I think there's
- 53:47Speaker 3: two thousand, five hundred and fifty eight counties in America.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Nassau County was the safest of the two thousand and
- 53:55Speaker 3: five hundred and fifty eight whatever it is. And what
- 53:59Speaker 3: would you do with with New York And they said
- 54:03Speaker 3: make it the safest state in America?
- 54:07Speaker 14: Well, there's no nonsense with Bruce. I mean, the fact
- 54:09Speaker 14: is he's increased the number of police officers but not
- 54:12Speaker 14: raised taxes. And anytime there's demonstrations, any of the anti
- 54:17Speaker 14: ice demonstrations or whatever, the police under Pat Ryder and
- 54:20Speaker 14: Bruce Blakman, they sat out the line. You see, you
- 54:23Speaker 14: cannot cross this line. You're going to demonstrate you doing
- 54:25Speaker 14: here and nowhere else and if they do, they get
- 54:27Speaker 14: arrested and strictly enforced. Also, the police are working very
- 54:31Speaker 14: closely with ICE going after criminal illegal eligruals, not just
- 54:35Speaker 14: going after illegal immigrants, but those are criminal records where
- 54:38Speaker 14: ICE needs assistants. The National Police are there to give
- 54:42Speaker 14: that assistance and cooperate and work with them. And who
- 54:44Speaker 14: doesn't want these people off the streets? I mean who
- 54:47Speaker 14: wants to have whether you're illegal or illegal. If you're
- 54:50Speaker 14: a criminal, if you have a record and you're a
- 54:53Speaker 14: sex trafficker, if you're a rapist, if you're a murderer,
- 54:56Speaker 14: if you're a bank robber, who wants you on the street.
- 54:58Speaker 14: So that's me in some ways. It's any we were
- 55:02Speaker 14: having these conversations ten ten years ago. People wouldn't know
- 55:06Speaker 14: what we're talking about. These are the issues that have
- 55:09Speaker 14: just developed and unfortunately have taken over. It's absolutely insane.
- 55:13Speaker 3: I'm still trying to figure out why they want to
- 55:16Speaker 3: close Rikers Island and spend fourteen billion dollars building jails
- 55:22Speaker 3: in your local community in the Bronx and Queens and
- 55:27Speaker 3: Staten Island to put their foot down. I'm not sure
- 55:30Speaker 3: about Staten Island, Manhattan and Chinatown, and I mean, I
- 55:33Speaker 3: can't figure out the city doesn't have any money and
- 55:36Speaker 3: they want to spend fourteen billion dollars in jails and
- 55:39Speaker 3: reduce the jail population gets possible and he reconsiled from
- 55:43Speaker 3: twenty eight thousand down to four thousand. What are you
- 55:46Speaker 3: gonna do let more criminals on the streets.
- 55:49Speaker 14: It makes absolutely no sense. And that's what John, you know,
- 55:51Speaker 14: you were saying before. We have to straighten out the
- 55:53Speaker 14: voting and we do have join that is an issue,
- 55:55Speaker 14: but really we have to get people to understand who
- 55:58Speaker 14: they're voting for and do they understand what they're doing.
- 56:01Speaker 14: I mean, men DOMI whether or not every vote was
- 56:03Speaker 14: legal or not, the fact is he had a tremendous
- 56:05Speaker 14: amount of votes in the last election. And again, how
- 56:08Speaker 14: many people really support these policies, I mean, they're hard
- 56:11Speaker 14: to find. And yet right now he is the mayor
- 56:15Speaker 14: and I'm not even questioning his integrity or anything else.
- 56:18Speaker 14: I think he's very committed to what he believes in.
- 56:20Speaker 14: I just think his ideas are dangerous in New York,
- 56:23Speaker 14: dangerous for the people in the neighborhoods, people in the communities,
- 56:26Speaker 14: people who want to have the type of peace and
- 56:29Speaker 14: tranqu tranquility and order that we had when we had
- 56:34Speaker 14: Juliati and Bloomberg as our mayors. I think of anything
- 56:37Speaker 14: that we took it for granted, things went so well
- 56:40Speaker 14: for all those years, after really tough years, but once
- 56:44Speaker 14: those guys come in and what they did, they turned
- 56:47Speaker 14: the whole city around, and you'd never even thought about
- 56:50Speaker 14: walking down the street or taking the subway. That's all
- 56:52Speaker 14: changed now.
- 56:53Speaker 7: Congresson King, I'm Jake Novak, your former constituent still on
- 56:56Speaker 7: Nasau County, and you talked about these crazy policies. I'm
- 57:00Speaker 7: sorry to say this, but it seems to me very
- 57:03Speaker 7: logical why they're pursuing these ruinous policies. Follow the money
- 57:07Speaker 7: with this Act Blue and these other organizations. It's clear
- 57:10Speaker 7: to me, sir, that our foreign enemies have become the
- 57:14Speaker 7: primary funders for the Democratic Party. That's why they're pursued.
- 57:18Speaker 7: I mean, anyone could tell you don't empty the jails.
- 57:20Speaker 7: Anyone can tell you don't foster anti Semitism. These are
- 57:23Speaker 7: the things that have destroyed civilizations throughout history, and it's
- 57:27Speaker 7: our enemies who want these policies. And suddenly we're finding
- 57:30Speaker 7: out that it's foreign based donors through Act Blue or
- 57:34Speaker 7: whatever organization that are donating the money.
- 57:36Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I see a straight line. How about you.
- 57:39Speaker 14: I don't know it's a straight line. I know it's
- 57:41Speaker 14: an influence, and I think that what every money they
- 57:44Speaker 14: do get, they're able to maximize it because it's hused
- 57:47Speaker 14: primarily in primaries, and that's really as charms the Democratic
- 57:51Speaker 14: Party is concerned. In fact vote parties. You're lucky fifteen
- 57:55Speaker 14: percent of the people come out to vote in the primary,
- 57:57Speaker 14: so a few of the money to generate support. If
- 57:59Speaker 14: you can just get at eight nine percent of the
- 58:01Speaker 14: voters to come out and they're on your side, you're
- 58:03Speaker 14: going to win a big primary election. And there's also
- 58:06Speaker 14: the fact that the more extreme voters come out in primaries,
- 58:10Speaker 14: So if you have the money to find out where
- 58:12Speaker 14: they are, who they are and get them out here,
- 58:14Speaker 14: no doubt funding is an issue. But on the other hand,
- 58:17Speaker 14: still in the general election, I mean, you're fifty percent
- 58:21Speaker 14: of New Yorker's vote for Ben Domie that all camp
- 58:24Speaker 14: be through foreign money. A lot of us because people
- 58:26Speaker 14: does have lost interest or don't care, or for some
- 58:30Speaker 14: reason you're willing to look the other way, or somehow
- 58:32Speaker 14: think there's something clever about it, like, for instance, how
- 58:35Speaker 14: and I'm not Jewish and I'm away you're looked into
- 58:38Speaker 14: into other people's religions. But how can such a large
- 58:41Speaker 14: percentage of Jewish voters vote for someone like Mendomi, who,
- 58:45Speaker 14: by his own statements is anti Israel, certainly very critical
- 58:49Speaker 14: of Jews, and he says it's not anti Semitism, But
- 58:52Speaker 14: all the buzzwords are there, so it's a combination of things.
- 58:57Speaker 14: Funding is one of them. But also just for some reason,
- 58:59Speaker 14: whether vieos with social media, well it's because your poorer
- 59:02Speaker 14: education system. But so many people are just to be
- 59:05Speaker 14: out of tasha what they should be concerned about.
- 59:08Speaker 7: Congressman Peter King, we have to take a quick break,
- 59:10Speaker 7: but can you stick with us for a while, because
- 59:12Speaker 7: you just opened up another can of worms that we've
- 59:13Speaker 7: got to talk to you about. Please stick with us again.
- 59:16Speaker 7: It's John Kats, Matiti's, Jake Novak and Dominic Carter in
- 59:20Speaker 7: for Sid and Friends this morning on this Memorial Day.
- 59:22Speaker 5: We'll be right back with Congressman Peter.
- 59:24Speaker 1: King, Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red
- 59:28Speaker 1: Apple Podcast Network.
- 59:34Speaker 6: Sid and Friends in the.
- 59:36Speaker 1: Morning Entertaining and Informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 59:43Speaker 5: And wire Swinging Baby.
- 59:45Speaker 7: It's Jake Novak, Dominic Carter and our owner operator John
- 59:48Speaker 7: Katsmethiiti's in for Sid and Friends in the Morning and
- 59:51Speaker 7: we have Congressman former Congressman Peter King on the line.
- 59:54Speaker 5: And Congressman King, we were.
- 59:55Speaker 7: Talking about the New York race, the Bruce Blakeman situation,
- 59:59Speaker 7: and of course a lot listeners and if certainly you
- 1:00:01Speaker 7: understand this, whenever you have a state wide race in
- 1:00:03Speaker 7: New York, it's always downstate versus upstate. There's always that
- 1:00:07Speaker 7: di economy. And when you have a downstate candidate, and
- 1:00:09Speaker 7: even though he's not from the city, Bruce Blakeman is
- 1:00:11Speaker 7: Nasau County, he is a downstate candidate. Usually it's a
- 1:00:14Speaker 7: hard sell upstate. But congress and I think he's got
- 1:00:17Speaker 7: a great sell. He can go to Rochester, he can
- 1:00:19Speaker 7: go to Buffalo, can to he can go to Anianta
- 1:00:22Speaker 7: and say, hey, I'm your demand to defend you from
- 1:00:25Speaker 7: this mayor in New York City. Who's going after your
- 1:00:27Speaker 7: tax money too. I'm the guy who can defend you.
- 1:00:29Speaker 7: Doesn't he have a better selling point than some of
- 1:00:32Speaker 7: his fellow of Republicans in the past.
- 1:00:34Speaker 14: Yeah, I think he really does because he can. Hey, listen,
- 1:00:36Speaker 14: I'm on the front lines. Literally, Bruce is like the
- 1:00:39Speaker 14: border patrol here. Nescroll County is right on the border
- 1:00:42Speaker 14: of New York City. And we saw in the previous
- 1:00:47Speaker 14: years where's happened as crime can coms the border when
- 1:00:50Speaker 14: they were trying to when you had many illegal immigrants
- 1:00:53Speaker 14: whore being stationed in locations right on the border. And
- 1:00:56Speaker 14: so now he can say I deal directly with every
- 1:00:59Speaker 14: day know what it's all about. This isn't just some
- 1:01:02Speaker 14: philosophical issue. I'm right there. I can carry that fight out.
- 1:01:06Speaker 14: And Bruce has been all over by upstate New York.
- 1:01:09Speaker 14: And again he's not getting all the coverage. Maybe he
- 1:01:12Speaker 14: needs down here because people say to me, Bruce has
- 1:01:14Speaker 14: to spend more time upstate. He's all over the place upstate,
- 1:01:17Speaker 14: plus doing his job as county executive, plus being heavily
- 1:01:20Speaker 14: involved in New York City and around. So Bruce is
- 1:01:24Speaker 14: genuinely running a statewide campaign, and he's putting everything into it. Also,
- 1:01:29Speaker 14: I can put another plug. Janine's Risco who's running for Congress.
- 1:01:33Speaker 14: She lives in the National County section of Bellrows, which
- 1:01:37Speaker 14: is literally right on the Queen's border. Parslow was like
- 1:01:40Speaker 14: for true into Queens, so she sees it every day.
- 1:01:43Speaker 14: She's a son who's the NYPD. She's again very much involved.
- 1:01:48Speaker 14: And so we get now with candidates who can speak
- 1:01:50Speaker 14: with authority about what it means to live so close
- 1:01:53Speaker 14: to a socialist maya who is not standing with the police.
- 1:01:56Speaker 14: So now, but Bruce says, I don't know if anyone,
- 1:02:00Speaker 14: I mean, Blush's in this all the way. And you
- 1:02:02Speaker 14: know a lot of candidates he hit the nomination in
- 1:02:04Speaker 14: May or June or whatever it happens to be, then
- 1:02:07Speaker 14: they take your time and they come back up to
- 1:02:08Speaker 14: Labor Day. Bruce has been going on this really since
- 1:02:12Speaker 14: really almost since the last election. He's been day in
- 1:02:15Speaker 14: and day out, going everywhere he can to get the
- 1:02:17Speaker 14: vote out. And his measures should resonate as much upstate
- 1:02:21Speaker 14: as it does in that show in Self County and
- 1:02:24Speaker 14: down in Queens in Southern Island.
- 1:02:25Speaker 7: I really agree with you, Congressman. I'm so tired of
- 1:02:28Speaker 7: people telling me the same thing. Oh, he's not running
- 1:02:29Speaker 7: a hard enough campaig. I mean, honestly, it's like every
- 1:02:32Speaker 7: back seater, backbencher saying that they could do a better job.
- 1:02:35Speaker 7: I think he's working pretty hard. I really do.
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: Hey, Congressman, let me let me ask you this question.
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: So we spoke about this earlier in terms of you
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: got this guy twenty one years old running around talking
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: about his Jesus. The Secret Service had wanted him locked
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: up before or at least a mental watch the latest
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: shooting at the White House. What I'm trying to figure out,
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: Congressman King, is real simple. Why can't we just get
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: as a country, get more psychiatric beds and open up
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: these hospitals because you've got to lock these nuts up.
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: It really is that simple, Tomy.
- 1:03:19Speaker 14: I agree with you one hundred percent. We need more
- 1:03:21Speaker 14: psychiatric beds, We need more attention to mental health. And
- 1:03:25Speaker 14: also we have to tell judges and those were evaluating
- 1:03:29Speaker 14: people to realize that you're not doing anyone a favor
- 1:03:32Speaker 14: by putting mental patients out on the street too soon.
- 1:03:35Speaker 14: Now again, you know, their excuse for me was so
- 1:03:37Speaker 14: backed up. There's no room. Well, that's really no excuse overall.
- 1:03:41Speaker 14: So we have to provide more facilities, get more attention
- 1:03:44Speaker 14: to it, and also tell judges and those who are
- 1:03:47Speaker 14: making these evaluations to be strict in how they do it. It's,
- 1:03:52Speaker 14: you know, the danger of having here's somebody right near
- 1:03:54Speaker 14: the White House, so they know is a mental patient
- 1:03:56Speaker 14: who eventually ill. And it was really only a time
- 1:04:00Speaker 14: before this happened. And I'm surprised this happened more often
- 1:04:03Speaker 14: because there were people out there unfortunately suffering for mental illness.
- 1:04:07Speaker 14: And you know it was because we can't keep every
- 1:04:11Speaker 14: mental patron locked up forever. That's that's unfair. But on
- 1:04:14Speaker 14: the other hand, you can't go so far as you're
- 1:04:17Speaker 14: being so loose and relaxed and putting people out of
- 1:04:20Speaker 14: the speed you know, they don't belong there. So as
- 1:04:22Speaker 14: it is, now, this guy is dead and some of
- 1:04:25Speaker 14: it's some other person who wounded and it could have
- 1:04:27Speaker 14: been an overall catastrophe if the Secret Service hadn't done
- 1:04:30Speaker 14: his job.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: Now, I mean, let's talk about our current mayor second Peter,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: and a lot of people get me on television and
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: other radio shows to talk about that. There's two ways,
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: and you know we gave him. I gave him a
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: little bit of a break and say the first hundred
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: days and not enough. He's only thirty four years old.
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: Let's see what happens the first one hundred and fifty days.
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: But we're going to be coming up on that, and
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: Jake you and Dominic you ring in on it. I mean,
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: I really think that he's playing the violin to his supporters.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, is it a violin?
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: Is it him? Is he going to have any common
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: sense and that's what the determination has to be on
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: one hundred and fiftieth day.
- 1:05:17Speaker 14: Well, I would think not. And I think that these
- 1:05:20Speaker 14: are not mistakes. He is a committed socialist. I think
- 1:05:23Speaker 14: he's very intelligent. I think he's honest to his ideology,
- 1:05:27Speaker 14: and I think he intends, you know, to implement it.
- 1:05:29Speaker 14: He knows what he wants to do, and he's putting
- 1:05:30Speaker 14: people and keep positions all around to implement those policies.
- 1:05:34Speaker 14: So far, on one strong point, definitely there has been
- 1:05:37Speaker 14: Jessica siss Our police commissioner. But in other situations, like
- 1:05:40Speaker 14: you know, the way he wants to tax the rich
- 1:05:43Speaker 14: he calls it, which is just going to drive the
- 1:05:45Speaker 14: tax space out of New York City. He's committed to that.
- 1:05:48Speaker 14: He believes in that. That is so it's hardcore left
- 1:05:52Speaker 14: wing socialist economics, and he believes in it. It's been
- 1:05:54Speaker 14: a good tastrophe everywhere it's worked, they've implemented it in
- 1:05:58Speaker 14: the world. But he wants to try it. Try he
- 1:06:00Speaker 14: was implemented. He believes it is strongly. So I am
- 1:06:03Speaker 14: not optimistic going forward.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: So he's not gonna hear. I said to the him,
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: you have to use your intelligence to realize you're either
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: going to be on the edge of disaster or the
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: edge of success. And well, you know, I mean it's
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: up to him that But the other part of it,
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: I think he really believes that his future depends on
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: the type of people who's been attracting for the last
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: few years. Dominic wor any thoughts. I'm not a fan
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: at all.
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: I agree with the assessment the congressman just made. He
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: really is carrying out what he truly believes. He's a disaster.
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: I don't know how to pull my bunches. He is
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: a disaster. He's one of the worst things that ever
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: happened to New York. It is terribly offensive what he's
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: doing with the Jewish community almost every day.
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: What is he doing with the black community? Understand, h
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: you know you're maybe under Mayor Adams, you had too
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: many blacks, and you did and you did, and now
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: you have too little. You know.
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: I was a fan of Mayor Adams in the beginning.
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: I really wished him the best. One of the biggest
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: mistakes that he made during his tenure two mistakes and
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: then I let Congressmen and Jake the follow up two
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: mistakes when he fell into the trap that Governor Abbott
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: said for him on the migrants, welcome in those migrants
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: here to New York. That was the beginning of the
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: end for him. And the second mistake he made is you,
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: when you're elected mayor, you've got to go to a
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: certain degree with establishment for lack of a better term,
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: right now. And I know, I know his heart he
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: wanted to bring in qualified African American and Latinos into
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: city government. But you've got to make sure that these
- 1:07:54Speaker 4: people are properly vetted. He had too many people around
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: him that frankly, is not that we're crooks. Under investigation.
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: Police commissioner had to step down. Deputy Mayor under fire.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: You know, I still would take Eric Adams any day over. Mom, Donnie,
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: I agree with you one hundred percent.
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: Fair enough.
- 1:08:18Speaker 14: I do think one of the biggest mistakes he made, though,
- 1:08:21Speaker 14: was not letting commission A Kishan sou to her job.
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: Absolutely she would.
- 1:08:26Speaker 14: Have been an outstanding commissioner, as j is now. But
- 1:08:30Speaker 14: other than that, and also in Akishan was a commissioner.
- 1:08:33Speaker 14: Get too many of Eric Adams, his cronies and friends
- 1:08:36Speaker 14: were trying to call the shots, interfering with the job
- 1:08:39Speaker 14: she was doing. But like you, I like Eric Adams.
- 1:08:41Speaker 14: I think he meant well. I just think that he
- 1:08:43Speaker 14: didn't realize the enormity of the job and the voting
- 1:08:47Speaker 14: people that were.
- 1:08:47Speaker 9: Friends of his.
- 1:08:48Speaker 14: He trusted them and he shouldn't have.
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: And that happens to a lot. Jake Dungrad with your question,
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: that happens to a lot of politicians. We saw the
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: same thing in the last term of of Ed Koch,
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: you know, with people that he trusted, and we know
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: how that ended, Congressman King. But and Jake, I want
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: to turn over to you, but I'm just not a
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: fan at all, So I guess in the next segment,
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: mister katsamatins can tell me, because I have no desire
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: to meet this guy. I think he's a straight up
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: con man. Mom, Donnie, he can tell me what it
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: was like to sit face to face with this guy.
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: But go ahead, Jake, you know again.
- 1:09:25Speaker 7: But the thing that hits me the most you said it, John,
- 1:09:28Speaker 7: is when you say thirty four years old and no
- 1:09:31Speaker 7: disrespect to younger folks and things like that. But I
- 1:09:35Speaker 7: don't know. Communists are no communist. Anti Semite are no
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: anti Semite If any thirty four year old can really
- 1:09:44Speaker 7: grasp this position, you know, one of the good things
- 1:09:46Speaker 7: you can say about the United States is we have
- 1:09:48Speaker 7: a pretty old age for adulthood in this country. In otherwords,
- 1:09:52Speaker 7: unlike some of these impoverished countries where it's twelve years old,
- 1:09:54Speaker 7: you got to be like a soldier and provide for
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: your family. In this country, even people who are lower
- 1:10:00Speaker 7: middle class aren't necessarily thrown into adulthood that young. My
- 1:10:03Speaker 7: point is, this is someone who doesn't, in my opinion,
- 1:10:07Speaker 7: understand that these theories are things that you pass around
- 1:10:09Speaker 7: in a college classroom aren't real. He hasn't had enough
- 1:10:12Speaker 7: of real life.
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: We twenty four years old.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: He's too young for that. Job, yeah, number one, enough
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: life experiences and the chance I gave him Dominic and
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: the chance I gave him Jay and Peter was the
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: fact is you are an intelligent guy. You gotta make
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: up your mind. And it's up to him. I mean,
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: that's the chance I gave him. And if he's gonna fail,
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: he's gonna fail.
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: I just don't think he has it.
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: He's already turned the business community completely against him. He
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: really pissed off the not only the small business community.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: And maybe we'll have Fernando Mattel talk about that later
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: and the big business community. The Griffiths of King Griffiths
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: of the Jamie Diamond himself said we have thirty three
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: thousand employees in.
- 1:11:03Speaker 9: J P.
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: Walking and now we're down to like twenty five thousand.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: And he's building in Texas and I understand now he's
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: building in Tampa, Saint Pete. Right.
- 1:11:15Speaker 7: Congress and Peter King, thank you so much for joining us.
- 1:11:17Speaker 7: Have a meaningful Memorial Day, as I know you will

- 1:13:02Speaker 7: things we can't forget, Dominic and John, we got to
- 1:13:05Speaker 7: talk about this Jackson Dart situation. Jackson dar At the
- 1:13:08Speaker 7: star quarterback for the New York Giants, emerging last year
- 1:13:10Speaker 7: as a rookie, looking very promising in his career, and
- 1:13:15Speaker 7: it's just.
- 1:13:15Speaker 5: Amazing what he was able to do.
- 1:13:16Speaker 7: And you know, we've got Governor David Patterson on the
- 1:13:18Speaker 7: line right now, our favorite common sense Democrat and Governor Patterson,
- 1:13:22Speaker 7: first of all, great to talk to you on a
- 1:13:24Speaker 7: day other than Saturday, although I really enjoy our conversations on.
- 1:13:27Speaker 5: The left versus the right every week.
- 1:13:28Speaker 7: But Congress and Patterson, you get a guy who all
- 1:13:30Speaker 7: he did, Jackson Dart, all he did was introduce the president.
- 1:13:33Speaker 5: He didn't say this is the greatest president. He didn't
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: say I voted for him.
- 1:13:36Speaker 7: He did say he was very honored, but then one
- 1:13:38Speaker 7: of his teammates tries to call him out and basically
- 1:13:41Speaker 7: say this S word I thought was not real.
- 1:13:44Speaker 5: This is Abdul Carter, his teammate. Apparently they've made up.
- 1:13:47Speaker 7: I don't know what's going on here, but Congress and Patterson,
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: where are we in America when you can't even introduce
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: the President of the United States without being called horrible names?
- 1:13:57Speaker 14: Well, I couldn't get introduced without being demo. I was
- 1:14:00Speaker 14: Governor Patterson.
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I made you a Congress you know what,
- 1:14:03Speaker 7: I just talk about it? So you were Governor Patterson
- 1:14:05Speaker 7: and I know that very well. Sorry about that.
- 1:14:07Speaker 14: Oh, but really the situation is we've gotten to a
- 1:14:14Speaker 14: point in our society where everything is politicized. If they're
- 1:14:20Speaker 14: supposed to be a speaker, the speaker doesn't show up
- 1:14:23Speaker 14: and they get someone else. The person who introduces him
- 1:14:27Speaker 14: is either thought to be a political ally or a foe.
- 1:14:30Speaker 14: And I think it's gotten so bad that you've got
- 1:14:34Speaker 14: this type of you know, a situation where Jackson Dart
- 1:14:38Speaker 14: just did what anyone else would have done, and then
- 1:14:41Speaker 14: the teammate looking for publicity and you know, attention to
- 1:14:45Speaker 14: himself makes this kind of a situation of feud, and
- 1:14:50Speaker 14: the whole thing never should have happened in the first place.
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: Governor, it's dominant. Good morning on this Memorial Day, Dominic Carter.
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: And what I'm curious about. I saw your name. You
- 1:15:02Speaker 4: made big headlines yesterday with mister Cantamantine's. I'll let him
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: discuss that with you. But I mean, Governor, you're a
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: straight shooter. You've always been a straight shooter. So anybody
- 1:15:13Speaker 4: that identifies with Trump at all, you're telling me, the
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: left says is bad, awful, disgusting. All this quarterback said,
- 1:15:21Speaker 4: well he spoke for maybe Jake how long, less than
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: a minute?
- 1:15:25Speaker 5: Well, most of it was a giants chant, That's what
- 1:15:28Speaker 5: he did most of and then for like and did
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: that didn't go overwelling, I guess some patriots fans up
- 1:15:34Speaker 5: there right.
- 1:15:35Speaker 4: Right, Well, it's right right up the block from where
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: I live. And so, but Governor, what time is it
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: that these things are so So you're telling me that
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: to the left, everything with Trump is bad, this Trump
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: derangement syndrome.
- 1:15:50Speaker 14: What I'm saying is that I wouldn't have any problem
- 1:15:56Speaker 14: with what happened. But what I'm saying is there are
- 1:15:58Speaker 14: too many people who would only because of the political
- 1:16:03Speaker 14: relationship that they determined. They don't know who Jackson Dort
- 1:16:07Speaker 14: voted for, and it was it was unnecessary. And I
- 1:16:12Speaker 14: myself have run into the former president on a few occasions,
- 1:16:18Speaker 14: and there were occasions when he was introduced and I
- 1:16:21Speaker 14: was standing near him. There was one occasion where I
- 1:16:24Speaker 14: was introduced and he patted me on the back, and
- 1:16:27Speaker 14: it was I supposed to turn around and function him
- 1:16:30Speaker 14: because I didn't vote for him. And that's where my
- 1:16:33Speaker 14: point is that we've allowed the situation as a society,
- 1:16:38Speaker 14: a number of individuals who have allowed us to get
- 1:16:41Speaker 14: to a point where we can't even work together anymore.
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: It's horrible. It can't even work together anymore. I mean,
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: I go back to the days where Tip O'Neil and
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan used to, you know, work things out for
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: what's best for America, and Nuke Gingridge and Bill Clinton
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: working things out what's best for America. Bill Clinton and
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: nuke Ingridge took me the deficit from five and a
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: half trillion down to five trigion and now to thirty
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: eight trigion.
- 1:17:16Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a problem.
- 1:17:17Speaker 9: I had the.
- 1:17:20Speaker 14: Fortune when I was governor to work with the majority
- 1:17:24Speaker 14: leader who lived outside of Albany, Joe Bruno, and he
- 1:17:30Speaker 14: and I the budget would come down to the two
- 1:17:32Speaker 14: of us trying to negotiate it, and there were times
- 1:17:35Speaker 14: when we got on each other's nerves because we didn't agree,
- 1:17:38Speaker 14: you know, just like any couple that's trying to work
- 1:17:42Speaker 14: something out.
- 1:17:43Speaker 9: But each time that we did, we.
- 1:17:45Speaker 14: Were very proud of the fact, not only that we
- 1:17:47Speaker 14: could pass the budget close.
- 1:17:49Speaker 8: To on time in those days.
- 1:17:51Speaker 14: Now the budget just is barely passing now here and
- 1:17:55Speaker 14: it's almost to the end of May, and we prided
- 1:17:58Speaker 14: ourselves on the fact that we could do that. And
- 1:18:01Speaker 14: I think that our colleagues who work for us got
- 1:18:05Speaker 14: along a lot better because you've always watched to see
- 1:18:08Speaker 14: what the leaders are doing, and we were working. We
- 1:18:11Speaker 14: were not talking to media yelling about who introduced what
- 1:18:16Speaker 14: dinner and that kind of thing. That this has really
- 1:18:19Speaker 14: gotten out a hand.
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: John definitely gotten out a hand. And Dominic you see it, Jake,
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: you see it. I mean, it's just, you know, the
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: Democratic Party should be the people that have courage in
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: the Democratic Party. Have we have two choices and David Patterson,
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: you've spoken about it. Doug Shown has spoken about it.
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: You have two choices. Either have the courage to take
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: back the Democratic Party because the Socialist Party is going
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: to try to take you out if you're an elected
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: Democrat or this or or they lose forty nine states.
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: I could do it in nineteen eighty.
- 1:19:00Speaker 14: Four, John, this is very serious.
- 1:19:04Speaker 13: I was with former.
- 1:19:05Speaker 14: Governor Andrew Cuomo within the last week and he's concerned
- 1:19:12Speaker 14: about it. Like you said, Doug Shown, the political strategists is.
- 1:19:17Speaker 14: I think that the people who have worked for the
- 1:19:19Speaker 14: party for years, who are not recognizing that we're being,
- 1:19:23Speaker 14: in a sense pushed out by a new, up and
- 1:19:26Speaker 14: coming group of people who have no morals none, They
- 1:19:33Speaker 14: don't respect anything except their desire to have power, and
- 1:19:38Speaker 14: for some reason they think that socialism is the answer.
- 1:19:41Speaker 14: And every time socialism has superseded an existing government, they
- 1:19:47Speaker 14: wound up with tyranny. So I think some of these
- 1:19:49Speaker 14: people who are getting caught up in it need to
- 1:19:52Speaker 14: go back and read history, and some of these people
- 1:19:54Speaker 14: who are organizing it, frankly need to be put out themselves.
- 1:19:59Speaker 7: Governor Patterson, you made news yesterday on the Cats round
- 1:20:02Speaker 7: Table talking about how it just astounds you that our
- 1:20:06Speaker 7: current governor Kathy Hokeel would be pushing these policies where
- 1:20:10Speaker 7: she's going to do the same thing that Mikey, Cheryl
- 1:20:13Speaker 7: and some other governors have done, advising the law enforcement
- 1:20:17Speaker 7: institutions in the state not to cooperate with federal agents, who, again,
- 1:20:22Speaker 7: as you and I have pointed out on our own
- 1:20:23Speaker 7: program many times, have clearly made the priority of going
- 1:20:27Speaker 7: after violent illegal immigrants. They've made that clearly who they've
- 1:20:31Speaker 7: gone after in just about every single case.
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: They're going after violent criminals.
- 1:20:36Speaker 7: Why would a governor not want their state cleared out
- 1:20:38Speaker 7: of those people on the federal dime. Nonetheless, and yet
- 1:20:41Speaker 7: she's going to push back on this, and you push
- 1:20:43Speaker 7: back on it yesterday.
- 1:20:45Speaker 14: Well, I haven't spoken to Governor Hockel, so I don't
- 1:20:48Speaker 14: know if this was her preferred position or if she
- 1:20:52Speaker 14: got boxed into this situation. All I was doing was
- 1:20:57Speaker 14: letting people know what the result of it is going
- 1:20:59Speaker 14: to be, and the result of it is going to
- 1:21:03Speaker 14: be that a lawsuit. Because the federal government is constitutionally
- 1:21:13Speaker 14: a level up from the state government, you have to
- 1:21:16Speaker 14: abide by the rules and the federal government in this
- 1:21:19Speaker 14: particular case wants to do this. I'm not saying that
- 1:21:22Speaker 14: the people who aren't happy about it have to like it.
- 1:21:26Speaker 14: They don't have to like it, but that is something
- 1:21:30Speaker 14: that is right now. We have to govern ourselves by
- 1:21:36Speaker 14: the rules that were set up going back to the
- 1:21:40Speaker 14: beginning of our government and through all the different trials
- 1:21:44Speaker 14: and tribulations. That's why this Memorial Day should be a
- 1:21:47Speaker 14: day that we're all sullen about those who fought and
- 1:21:52Speaker 14: died or those who fought and seriously injured to defend
- 1:21:55Speaker 14: this country. And so for whoever it was that drafted
- 1:22:00Speaker 14: this legislation, they are way off and they're going to
- 1:22:03Speaker 14: lose in court. And when they lose in court, it's
- 1:22:06Speaker 14: going to open the door for a whole lot of
- 1:22:09Speaker 14: things that they're not going to like.
- 1:22:10Speaker 7: Well, that's a good segue, because Governor, as you know,
- 1:22:13Speaker 7: the last time we had this kind of an issue
- 1:22:15Speaker 7: with the supremacy clause, where we had individual states deciding
- 1:22:18Speaker 7: to buck what the federal government wanted, we had something
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: called the Civil War. And when you and I were
- 1:22:23Speaker 7: in school, they used to tell us that five hundred
- 1:22:26Speaker 7: thousand people died in the Civil War.
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: Do you know, by the way that the.
- 1:22:29Speaker 7: New accounting, based on new evidence, is that seven hundred
- 1:22:33Speaker 7: thousand Americans died in the Civil War. Can we please
- 1:22:35Speaker 7: avoid armed conflict again? I mean this feels like I
- 1:22:39Speaker 7: just feel like we're in eighteen forty eight now, bleeding Kansas.
- 1:22:42Speaker 7: There's no reason for us to be fighting over this,
- 1:22:45Speaker 7: least slavery. There was some common sense there and decency.
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: We wanted to end slavery. Were we literally going to
- 1:22:51Speaker 7: have people killing other people because they want to protect
- 1:22:54Speaker 7: violent illegal immigrants?
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: I remember history repeats itself, Yeah, in a bad way.
- 1:23:00Speaker 14: And I think John will remember remember this. And I'm
- 1:23:04Speaker 14: not going to call the person out. But we were
- 1:23:06Speaker 14: doing the show, The five o'clock Show, Jake. This was
- 1:23:10Speaker 14: about a year and a half ago. And when I
- 1:23:13Speaker 14: left the studio, I hailed a taxi and I'm coming
- 1:23:16Speaker 14: back home. The phone rings, and a well known leader
- 1:23:20Speaker 14: from around the state says to me, when are you
- 1:23:23Speaker 14: changing your resignation? When are you changing are your voter
- 1:23:27Speaker 14: registration card to Republican? And I addressed the person by
- 1:23:31Speaker 14: their name and said to them that I had been
- 1:23:34Speaker 14: trying to talk to them for two months and they
- 1:23:36Speaker 14: hadn't returned my calls. And if that's what it took.
- 1:23:38Speaker 14: I'll do it tomorrow.
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: And I remember, I'm not going to mention any name
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: because I know who it is. But he's a Star
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: Trek fan, and I like the guy as a person,
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: but his politics, person yeah, yeah, you know, his politics
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: and aubity is hurting our city in our state.
- 1:23:57Speaker 14: Unfortunately it is. And excuse me, I just look back
- 1:24:03Speaker 14: to the time period that I was there at times
- 1:24:06Speaker 14: when I thought that the place was just a wreck,
- 1:24:09Speaker 14: like it could never be fixed. And yet from the
- 1:24:13Speaker 14: leadership that took over after Sheldon Silver and Bruno and
- 1:24:22Speaker 14: others had been there, really started to work things out.
- 1:24:25Speaker 14: And I think it's actually the issues that are going
- 1:24:28Speaker 14: on in the federal government that are causing the people
- 1:24:32Speaker 14: who are operating the state budget and operating the state
- 1:24:36Speaker 14: services to allow themselves to be politicized. You just can't
- 1:24:41Speaker 14: do it. We're going to open the door for somebody
- 1:24:44Speaker 14: to come in and when they start running the country,
- 1:24:48Speaker 14: none of us are going to like it because it
- 1:24:50Speaker 14: won't be fair.
- 1:24:53Speaker 7: Well, former Governor David Patterson, sorry for that emotion. I'll
- 1:24:56Speaker 7: have you down to mayor by the time I speak
- 1:24:58Speaker 7: to you next time.
- 1:24:59Speaker 5: Got your former David Patterson.
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: The big mistake I gotta say this. We got a
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: minuteative next break. The big mistake that Governor Patterson made,
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: and we're friends for a long time, is when there
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: came time for him to when when Hillary Clinton became
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: Secretary of State and it came time for him to
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: appoint a new US Senator, he should have appointed himself.
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: They would have called him a killjoy for about three days.
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: I have no comment, Governor, No Dominic has no comment
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: on this time today, and.
- 1:25:32Speaker 3: He would have been still the US Senator for a
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: New York state. And Governor, you screwed up. You should
- 1:25:37Speaker 3: have named yourself, and you know, God bless New York.
- 1:25:41Speaker 14: Well, I work on the current majority leader of the
- 1:25:45Speaker 14: Senate to try to fix that mistake that I made.
- 1:25:49Speaker 5: Read a little more Machiavelli, and maybe he'll do make
- 1:25:51Speaker 5: the right decision.
- 1:25:52Speaker 9: You know.
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: It's it's kind of an inside joke what I'm saying
- 1:25:55Speaker 4: to the governor, because you know, at one time we
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: didn't see eye to eye. But he's a great man.
- 1:26:00Speaker 4: I wish he would have appointed himself to the to
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: the Senate. I remember going on face the nation and
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: they wanted to know what was Patterson going to do?
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: And I was hoping and praying that he would appoint himself.
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: And I agree he would still be the senator.
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: Killjoy for about three days, right.
- 1:26:17Speaker 4: Right, right, right, So I made no comment governor, no
- 1:26:21Speaker 4: comment from Dominic.
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: All right, we're going to take a break.
- 1:26:24Speaker 7: It's John Kassmetiti's, Jake Novak and Dominic Carter. The cats
- 1:26:27Speaker 7: are playing while sid Is and Friends are away. We'll
- 1:26:30Speaker 7: be right back. A lot of great guests, including Fernando Matteo.
- 1:26:32Speaker 7: In the next al, sid and.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:26:43Speaker 6: Sid and Friends in the.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: Morning entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:26:52Speaker 7: That's Frank Sinatra fly Me to the Moon a little
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: bit before my time, but but you know, I enjoy
- 1:26:58Speaker 7: it anyway, even though songs.
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: That history and truly Frank Sinatra historical songs. And now,
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: why don't we bring in one of our great hosts
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: from the Hispanic community, Fernando Mattel, and talk about the
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: Hispanic community and the whole country and New York and
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: what the heck is going on? Is what's and how
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: are they feeling? And give us the pouts of the situation, Fernando,
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: come on in.
- 1:27:29Speaker 12: Good morning, John, Good morning Jake. It's a pleasure and
- 1:27:32Speaker 12: an honor to be with you guys. And I just
- 1:27:35Speaker 12: want to start by telling you the following. Hispanics leave
- 1:27:39Speaker 12: and left their countries, not because they wanted to, not
- 1:27:44Speaker 12: because we don't miss being back home, but because there
- 1:27:48Speaker 12: were no opportunities, or very few opportunities to succeed. The limitations,
- 1:27:56Speaker 12: the socialism programs, the high taxes, the government controlling everything
- 1:28:03Speaker 12: is what is why people left their countries. They come
- 1:28:08Speaker 12: to America and flocks seeking opportunity seeking, you know, freedom
- 1:28:16Speaker 12: seeking the American dream that they hear about, because all
- 1:28:21Speaker 12: they do is hear about the American dream. And those
- 1:28:24Speaker 12: that left come back wealthy. Those that left the country
- 1:28:29Speaker 12: come back to their country and build businesses and build
- 1:28:34Speaker 12: houses and create what they were never able to create
- 1:28:39Speaker 12: in the Dominican Republic, or in El Salvadoran and Honduras
- 1:28:43Speaker 12: and in Columbia and in all these countries. You know,
- 1:28:47Speaker 12: Hispanics are like a special breed of people. They're hungry,
- 1:28:54Speaker 12: they want to earn, they want to become someone. They
- 1:28:58Speaker 12: want to go back and show them what America did
- 1:29:02Speaker 12: for them. They didn't come here for handouts. They didn't
- 1:29:08Speaker 12: come here to be poor. They didn't come here for socialism.
- 1:29:14Speaker 12: They came for capitalism, you know. Not they understand that
- 1:29:19Speaker 12: nothing is for free, you know. But it's like the
- 1:29:22Speaker 12: same old game, the same old ponzie scheme. Ponzie schemes
- 1:29:27Speaker 12: pop up every day of the year all over the
- 1:29:31Speaker 12: world in different places. Why because people have a dream
- 1:29:37Speaker 12: being able to become rich overnight. You know, they put
- 1:29:41Speaker 12: their money into a esteem that pays them initially, and
- 1:29:46Speaker 12: then when the money runs out, they cut it and
- 1:29:49Speaker 12: they leave you hanging, you know, opening up supermarkets where
- 1:29:55Speaker 12: people are going to be getting certain items because it's
- 1:30:00Speaker 12: only certain items. I think it's a total of one
- 1:30:02Speaker 12: hundred items that the mayor wants for people that don't
- 1:30:07Speaker 12: earn over a certain amount of money to be able
- 1:30:10Speaker 12: to buy cheaper.
- 1:30:12Speaker 11: So what do you do.
- 1:30:13Speaker 12: You create a socialist program. You create something that we
- 1:30:18Speaker 12: ran away from. You create something that's going to harm us,
- 1:30:23Speaker 12: that's gonna make us look and feel like beggars.
- 1:30:27Speaker 11: We don't want that.
- 1:30:29Speaker 12: When you can actually sit down with business people who
- 1:30:33Speaker 12: create those same that same program, but multiplied by a
- 1:30:39Speaker 12: thousand by two thousand, so that it really becomes effective.
- 1:30:46Speaker 12: This isn't this isn't about you. It's about the people,
- 1:30:51Speaker 12: Mayor Mondamie, It's not about you, Okay, So about the people.
- 1:30:55Speaker 4: So, mister Matteo, it's a dominant card of good morning
- 1:30:57Speaker 4: on this Memorial Day. You know, I've been thinking about that.
- 1:31:01Speaker 4: So let's focus on this. Never mind the fact that
- 1:31:05Speaker 4: this didn't work with these supermarkets I believe in Kansas City. Well,
- 1:31:09Speaker 4: let's focus on East Harlem. It's almost offensive in La
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: Marquetta to open these stores when you already have establishing
- 1:31:17Speaker 4: stores Bodega's supermarkets. What's gonna happen to those stores around
- 1:31:22Speaker 4: the area while this one is opening.
- 1:31:26Speaker 12: Well, let me tell you, it's more about the insult,
- 1:31:31Speaker 12: insulting the people of La Marcueta, of El Barrio. It's
- 1:31:35Speaker 12: more about telling them how blatant the law is. Because
- 1:31:40Speaker 12: the mayor isn't speaking about the people of La Marchetta.
- 1:31:43Speaker 12: He's telling everyone in Manhattan, Hey, Manhattan, we're opening up
- 1:31:48Speaker 12: a supermarket for you to come and buy items cheaper.
- 1:31:53Speaker 12: There are over two or three million people in Manhattan.
- 1:31:57Speaker 12: How the hell is one supermarket gonna make a difference.
- 1:32:00Speaker 12: But aside from that. Look at the supermarkets in the area.
- 1:32:05Speaker 12: There are a few. These people have put their blood, sweat,
- 1:32:08Speaker 12: and tears into building their supermarkets. Now the government is
- 1:32:13Speaker 12: gonna build a thirty million dollar supermarket when you can
- 1:32:16Speaker 12: actually build about fifteen or twenty supermarkets with that amount
- 1:32:20Speaker 12: of money. Wow, he's and he's gonna place them in
- 1:32:25Speaker 12: a place where there are other businesses. Guys, listen, it
- 1:32:29Speaker 12: only makes sense to take one hundred million dollars a
- 1:32:34Speaker 12: year that the mayor is claiming he's going to tax
- 1:32:38Speaker 12: the rich in order to make that money. Okay, he's
- 1:32:41Speaker 12: gonna take it from other programs. Okay, And he's gonna
- 1:32:45Speaker 12: take one hundred million dollars a year, and he's gonna
- 1:32:48Speaker 12: put him into five stores to serve eight million people.
- 1:32:52Speaker 12: How big could New Yorkers be? How dumbed does he
- 1:32:57Speaker 12: think we are? You know, we are not dumb people.
- 1:33:01Speaker 12: We may be afore, we may need affordable items, but
- 1:33:05Speaker 12: we're not dumb. Okay, take that one hundred million dollars,
- 1:33:10Speaker 12: go to five hundred supermarkets in New York City and
- 1:33:14Speaker 12: tell them we're gonna give you one hundred thousand dollars
- 1:33:18Speaker 12: at a time so that you can create affordable items
- 1:33:23Speaker 12: that we will monitor and put them in your stores
- 1:33:28Speaker 12: and make sure people can buy them at a discount.
- 1:33:30Speaker 12: Now you're allowing eight million people to do that, not
- 1:33:35Speaker 12: two thousand, not a thousand people. Because people are shopping
- 1:33:39Speaker 12: supermarkets usually walk within the within this the square block. Okay,
- 1:33:44Speaker 12: how many people are you really gonna affect? You're gonna
- 1:33:47Speaker 12: affect you know, a drop. It's gonna be like taking
- 1:33:51Speaker 12: five drops when you have a thunderstorm, right and putting
- 1:33:55Speaker 12: them in a bucket and saying, hey, I have water
- 1:33:57Speaker 12: for everybody. Now you don't have for everybody. You have
- 1:34:01Speaker 12: fat drops in the bucket. And that's not gonna help
- 1:34:04Speaker 12: anybody dominic. You know, it's an insult, not only to
- 1:34:08Speaker 12: the business community and to these men and women that
- 1:34:11Speaker 12: have built their business and eat the city.
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: Let's move on. We we've done that today. You half
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: your time you live down in Florida. Give us a
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: report from uh there's a Hispanic population in Florida where
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: where where? Tell us that the pulse of the situation.
- 1:34:33Speaker 12: Everybody loves Florida. People that live in Florida, Immigrants that
- 1:34:38Speaker 12: go to Florida will never come up.
- 1:34:40Speaker 11: To New York.
- 1:34:40Speaker 12: If they've never been here, they don't want to come
- 1:34:42Speaker 12: up to New York. And immigrants from New York that
- 1:34:45Speaker 12: have fled to Florida, like myself, dread wanting to come
- 1:34:49Speaker 12: back to New York. Okay, this is a city that
- 1:34:53Speaker 12: I love, it's a city that I grew up in.
- 1:34:56Speaker 12: But guess what, Florida is so much better. You know,
- 1:34:59Speaker 12: there's very little crime. So wait a minute, wait, wait, wait.
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: Fernando Mateale dreads coming back to New York.
- 1:35:06Speaker 12: I thought, mister New York, No, no, no, no, listen,
- 1:35:09Speaker 12: I was missedter New York until I saw I saw
- 1:35:13Speaker 12: all these radical changes. I see that I can say
- 1:35:17Speaker 12: probably a million dollars a year by living outside of
- 1:35:21Speaker 12: New York City. So why live here when all everything
- 1:35:25Speaker 12: that that's happening in New York City right now?
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: It's about hurting me.
- 1:35:30Speaker 12: It's not about helping me. It's about hurting me. It's
- 1:35:33Speaker 12: about hurting my business. It's about hurting the entrepreneurs that
- 1:35:38Speaker 12: come here to build something. You've got to Florida, man,
- 1:35:41Speaker 12: and it's paradise. It's like living in the Caribbean island,
- 1:35:45Speaker 12: living like in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic A Southern Sunshine
- 1:35:50Speaker 12: Country with all of the no very little downs, you
- 1:35:56Speaker 12: know the cost of people make money down.
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: You got the downs, and you got the alligators.
- 1:36:02Speaker 4: And an alligator bit the worker at the Central Park
- 1:36:05Speaker 4: Zoo Sunday, I mean at the Ronx Zoo Sunday.
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: So you got alligators. That's one down, my friend.
- 1:36:11Speaker 12: My friend, listen, you're more liable to get. You'll be
- 1:36:16Speaker 12: robbed twenty times in Central Park before you see an
- 1:36:19Speaker 12: alligator in Florida. Okay, at least there are signs warning
- 1:36:24Speaker 12: you don't walk in here because there's they're alligators. You
- 1:36:27Speaker 12: walk into Central Park, they don't say be careful, you.
- 1:36:30Speaker 8: May not come out right, you know.
- 1:36:32Speaker 12: So listen, Florida.
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: Is Congress Salazar doing down there?
- 1:36:38Speaker 9: He's amazing.
- 1:36:39Speaker 12: She's no, she is not, okay, John, Okay. Is when
- 1:36:43Speaker 12: you're struggling, she's doing amazing. She's doing very well. Why
- 1:36:48Speaker 12: because she supports capitalism. And when you support capitalism, you
- 1:36:54Speaker 12: support the hard working immigrants that come here to work. Okay,
- 1:36:59Speaker 12: you know you gotta Florida. You have just about every
- 1:37:02Speaker 12: community like you do in New York. You know, you
- 1:37:05Speaker 12: have the Jews, you have the Italians, you have the Haitians.
- 1:37:08Speaker 12: You have the Dominicans, you have the Puerto Ricans, you
- 1:37:10Speaker 12: have the Cubans.
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: You have you name it and give us. I'll text
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: them letter see if he wants to come on this morning.
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: The guy that's running as UH for governor in UH
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: in Florida, you.
- 1:37:25Speaker 5: Have a Byron Byron.
- 1:37:27Speaker 3: Donald, Byron Daniel Don Donald.
- 1:37:30Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's Byron Donald.
- 1:37:32Speaker 12: Yeah, he's a He is a black man that sees
- 1:37:36Speaker 12: opportunity not only for the state, but he sees opportunity
- 1:37:40Speaker 12: for the people that have moved.
- 1:37:42Speaker 3: And was he endorsed when he Where is he endorsed
- 1:37:45Speaker 3: to UH by UH? By President Trump?
- 1:37:51Speaker 12: I don't know if he's been endorsed by President Trump
- 1:37:54Speaker 12: or not. But he's endorsed by the people. The people
- 1:37:56Speaker 12: like him, the people love him.
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Jake in the news department, Just.
- 1:38:06Speaker 12: Jake knows everything.
- 1:38:07Speaker 8: Guys.
- 1:38:07Speaker 12: That's why I have him on my show all the time.
- 1:38:10Speaker 12: You know, he fills in the blanks, which is great.
- 1:38:13Speaker 8: Jake.
- 1:38:13Speaker 12: One day you and I will have our own show
- 1:38:15Speaker 12: on w ABC. Don't worry about it. I'm working on about.
- 1:38:18Speaker 7: That's the entrepreneur in you. You know Fernando ten years
- 1:38:23Speaker 7: ago I think it was. I was at Fox and
- 1:38:27Speaker 7: CNBC and they laughed at me when I said, listen,
- 1:38:29Speaker 7: the Latino vote is not going to be like some
- 1:38:32Speaker 7: of the other groups. They're not going to fall all
- 1:38:34Speaker 7: one way or the other. That's not going to be
- 1:38:36Speaker 7: big Democrat or big Report. They're going to be a
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: much more of a swing vote, which, by the way,
- 1:38:40Speaker 7: in America, you want to be the swing vote.
- 1:38:42Speaker 5: That's the good thing. That's a good place to be.
- 1:38:44Speaker 7: And when they laughed at me about it, I said, no,
- 1:38:46Speaker 7: you can't laugh at me about this because, as you
- 1:38:48Speaker 7: just described, Latinos in this country are very entrepreneurial. Small
- 1:38:53Speaker 7: business is what they're all about, and small business people
- 1:38:55Speaker 7: predominantly vote Republican. So you know, I just think that
- 1:39:00Speaker 7: people are getting getting the wrong idea here.
- 1:39:03Speaker 12: Well, Jake, let me tell you. We are the swing vote,
- 1:39:06Speaker 12: but we are the most disrespected community in politics. Okay,
- 1:39:11Speaker 12: because we give it up too quickly.
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: I want you to finish that. Are you sure about that?
- 1:39:17Speaker 4: Are you sure it's not the black community that is
- 1:39:20Speaker 4: the most disrespected community the Democrat.
- 1:39:23Speaker 12: No, No, no, not at all.
- 1:39:25Speaker 3: Listen.
- 1:39:26Speaker 12: Dora Mandami Doramandami are mayor which By the way, I
- 1:39:30Speaker 12: have nothing against him, and I think I'll like him
- 1:39:32Speaker 12: if I ever meet him. You know, Zmandami has not
- 1:39:35Speaker 12: gone to the Dominican community. He has not gone to
- 1:39:39Speaker 12: the Latino community. He only shows up there when he's
- 1:39:42Speaker 12: gonna offer them something for free, because he thinks he
- 1:39:45Speaker 12: sees us as the people that have come here to
- 1:39:48Speaker 12: look for freebies. He goes to the Bronx, all Hispanics
- 1:39:51Speaker 12: to open the supermarket. He goes to as Barrio, Okay,
- 1:39:55Speaker 12: all Hispanics to open a supermarket. You know, why is
- 1:39:59Speaker 12: he targeting us? Why is he targeting the Hispanic community
- 1:40:03Speaker 12: because he thinks we're beggars. What not beggars? We are
- 1:40:06Speaker 12: people that have that respect ourselves. Of course we want
- 1:40:10Speaker 12: affordable items, but hey work with the businesses that have
- 1:40:15Speaker 12: been there to help us get there. So the Hispanic
- 1:40:18Speaker 12: the blacks have a huge leg over the Hispanic community.
- 1:40:22Speaker 11: I'm sorry to tell you that, dominic.
- 1:40:24Speaker 3: Well, in what way, Please tell me in what way?
- 1:40:26Speaker 9: Way?
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: In what way?
- 1:40:28Speaker 12: They understand politics in the United States a lot better.
- 1:40:32Speaker 12: They are starting to understand that the Democratic Party has
- 1:40:36Speaker 12: only hurt them. Okay, they are they They see English fluently,
- 1:40:42Speaker 12: They understand the system not better than Hispanic immigrants that
- 1:40:47Speaker 12: have just gotten here. Okay, Hispanic immigrants are surrounded by
- 1:40:52Speaker 12: congress people, Assembly people, senators, council members that are all Democrats,
- 1:41:00Speaker 12: so all they hear is Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. Black people,
- 1:41:05Speaker 12: on the other hand, have smartened up. They realized that
- 1:41:09Speaker 12: Democrats have kept them in poverty these years.
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: You gotta point there, trees, you gotta point there.
- 1:41:16Speaker 14: No.
- 1:41:16Speaker 12: No, I know my history and I know my situation
- 1:41:19Speaker 12: here because I come from the from the hoods. I
- 1:41:22Speaker 12: grew up with blacks and Puerto.
- 1:41:24Speaker 11: Ricans in the sixties.
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: I grew up streets Fernando.
- 1:41:29Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'll say something Fromanda, and I'll say this
- 1:41:31Speaker 7: with Dominic sitting right in front of me, and he
- 1:41:33Speaker 7: can push back. I think that this elimination of race
- 1:41:38Speaker 7: as a criteria to make districts for Congress is the
- 1:41:42Speaker 7: most potentially economic liberating thing for blacks in America who
- 1:41:46Speaker 7: have been living in a feudal system. I know, I'm
- 1:41:47Speaker 7: not going to make plantation slavery comparisons. It's much more
- 1:41:51Speaker 7: comparable to feudalism. But ninety percent of Black people live
- 1:41:54Speaker 7: in these gerrymandered racial districts where their economic vitality has
- 1:41:59Speaker 7: been sapped from them, mostly by Democrats. This liberation is
- 1:42:03Speaker 7: I think tantamount to the either the sixty four Civil
- 1:42:06Speaker 7: Rights Act and maybe, and God strike me down, I'm wrong,
- 1:42:08Speaker 7: even the Emancipation Proclamation, because they have been living in
- 1:42:11Speaker 7: a feudal system led by leaders who don't care about
- 1:42:14Speaker 7: their economic prosperity.
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: I don't know if I'd go that far, but what
- 1:42:17Speaker 4: is there to push back on these districts and race?
- 1:42:21Speaker 4: And I think that's the message, because Fernando Matteo just
- 1:42:25Speaker 4: schooled me, gentlemen.
- 1:42:27Speaker 3: I never looked at the fact.
- 1:42:29Speaker 4: I never saw it until I just listened to Fernando
- 1:42:31Speaker 4: Matteo about how patronizing it is to put that supermarket,
- 1:42:37Speaker 4: that market in La Maquetta in East Hallam and up
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: until you make that comment, Fernando Matteo, I didn't even
- 1:42:44Speaker 4: look at it that way.
- 1:42:46Speaker 12: You know what, He's ignored the Hispanic community. He knows
- 1:42:49Speaker 12: that he's done nothing for the Hispanic community, probably will
- 1:42:52Speaker 12: never but he wants a Hispanic community to own him.
- 1:42:57Speaker 12: He wants a Hispanic Hispanic community to leave that he
- 1:43:01Speaker 12: is giving them something for nothing, and that's what pisses
- 1:43:05Speaker 12: me all. That's why I get so energized and so
- 1:43:09Speaker 12: upset because I don't want my people, my community, my
- 1:43:14Speaker 12: Latinos that have come here to become someone to fall
- 1:43:19Speaker 12: into this freaking you know, free for Nando, I'm gonna
- 1:43:23Speaker 12: get you for free, for free, for free.
- 1:43:25Speaker 3: Well, you got to take a break, but Fernando, thank
- 1:43:27Speaker 3: you for everything you do, and thank you for being
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: a host on w ABC and getting the truth out.
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: And we'll talk to you again real soon.
- 1:43:34Speaker 5: Host have no excuses here on w.
- 1:43:38Speaker 3: And by the way, Roger Stone, I'm gonna call in
- 1:43:41Speaker 3: at eight thirty five today and stay tuned and let's
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: take that break.
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: Sid and Friends.
- 1:43:58Speaker 3: In the Morning entertain and Informative on the.
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:44:05Speaker 7: This has been a big weekend for news. Of course,
- 1:44:08Speaker 7: we've been trying to get to it all morning, but
- 1:44:10Speaker 7: we've had great discussions already. The situation with a potential
- 1:44:13Speaker 7: deal to end the Iran war so much back and forth.
- 1:44:16Speaker 7: In some ways, I'm glad we didn't hit it so
- 1:44:18Speaker 7: heavily because there's so much we don't know. The people
- 1:44:21Speaker 7: with skin in the game, though, are making a cautious
- 1:44:24Speaker 7: bet that this is gonna end. We're seeing oil prices
- 1:44:26Speaker 7: at the night. I'm seeing a ninety handle on a
- 1:44:29Speaker 7: West Texan intermediate in the US crew prices, So I'm
- 1:44:33Speaker 7: liking that. Also liking that gasoline prices, according to Triple A,
- 1:44:36Speaker 7: been trickling lower down last couple of days. We're down
- 1:44:39Speaker 7: to four to fifty national average. That's still quite a
- 1:44:41Speaker 7: bit higher than that two ninety eight before the war,
- 1:44:43Speaker 7: but still good to see it going in that direction.
- 1:44:46Speaker 7: On the line right now with us is the great
- 1:44:48Speaker 7: host of the Stone Zone and also the Rogers Stone
- 1:44:51Speaker 7: Show and a great friend of the president. It's Roger
- 1:44:54Speaker 7: Stone and Roger, It's Jake Novak. Roger with me is
- 1:44:58Speaker 7: John Katzmetidez and Donovan Carter Roger.
- 1:45:01Speaker 5: Could this the President Trump is?
- 1:45:03Speaker 3: Really?
- 1:45:03Speaker 7: I think made it clear who the top dog is
- 1:45:06Speaker 7: here whatever happens with this Iran deal. This idea that
- 1:45:08Speaker 7: he's being railroaded one way or the other, it's kind
- 1:45:11Speaker 7: of ludicrous, isn't it.
- 1:45:13Speaker 15: Yeah, If you know Donald Trump, as John cash Matitis
- 1:45:17Speaker 15: has known him for many many years, he's his own man.
- 1:45:20Speaker 15: Nobody tells him what to do, Nobody.
- 1:45:24Speaker 9: Suggests what's right for him.
- 1:45:26Speaker 15: He'll always listen to a broad cross section of advisors,
- 1:45:30Speaker 15: it he'll make his own decision. I supported Midnight Hammers,
- 1:45:34Speaker 15: think it was the right thing to do at the
- 1:45:35Speaker 15: time based on what we knew, and I supported epic Fury.
- 1:45:40Speaker 15: I was a little skeptical at first, but he knows
- 1:45:43Speaker 15: a lot more than I do in terms of intelligence,
- 1:45:46Speaker 15: and now I think he thinks the time is right
- 1:45:49Speaker 15: to end this war.
- 1:45:49Speaker 13: And I really pray that he's right, because we were on.
- 1:45:53Speaker 15: The trajectory to one of the great boom economies of
- 1:45:57Speaker 15: all time, housing, food price, his gas prices. John has
- 1:46:01Speaker 15: spoken about that extensively, and we can get back on
- 1:46:05Speaker 15: that track. And we can get back on that track
- 1:46:08Speaker 15: selfishly in return for the mid term elections. But the
- 1:46:12Speaker 15: president has to think it's right, and I think that
- 1:46:15Speaker 15: everything we've been through is worth it. I put my
- 1:46:18Speaker 15: trust to the president. I've known him fifty years. He
- 1:46:21Speaker 15: is America first, and I trust him, and I think
- 1:46:24Speaker 15: he's working day and night to get this wrapped ub.
- 1:46:28Speaker 5: You know, Roger, we're seeing these plays.
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: Obviously, the mainstream media likes to play games with these polls,
- 1:46:34Speaker 7: and they're all excited about how the economy is polling
- 1:46:38Speaker 7: low right now for President trumpas obviously been traditionally a big.
- 1:46:41Speaker 5: Strength for him.
- 1:46:43Speaker 7: But I mean, if we get gasoline prices that back
- 1:46:46Speaker 7: down to the two dollars handle in most of the country,
- 1:46:49Speaker 7: which could really happen pretty quickly, you know, I don't
- 1:46:53Speaker 7: know how long. I don't know if the Democrats are
- 1:46:55Speaker 7: going to want to play the economic game that was five.
- 1:46:57Speaker 3: Minutes after the straight the home mooth is open up,
- 1:47:01Speaker 3: and there's a perception of long term peace. Gasoline and
- 1:47:07Speaker 3: crudel will be coming down to normal prices sixty sixty
- 1:47:11Speaker 3: five dollars a barrel three dollars maybe even less on gasoline.
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: And the other thing is with Powell being out, With
- 1:47:24Speaker 3: Powell being out and you have a new FED chairman,
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: as soon as the gasoline comes down, then he will
- 1:47:32Speaker 3: have the ability after he comes down to lower interest rates.
- 1:47:37Speaker 3: So if we go into July fourth with low gasoline
- 1:47:42Speaker 3: and low interest rates, guess what we could win forty
- 1:47:46Speaker 3: nine states in November.
- 1:47:48Speaker 15: Roger, what do you think, John, You've been very very
- 1:47:52Speaker 15: consistent about this, particularly about the oil sector that you
- 1:47:56Speaker 15: know more about than anyone else. Totally agree with you
- 1:47:59Speaker 15: about about the Federal Reserve. The Federal the interest rate
- 1:48:03Speaker 15: is supposed to be based solely on the on the
- 1:48:08Speaker 15: level of inflation and the level of unemployment. Unemployment and
- 1:48:12Speaker 15: inflation have both been lower than they were the last
- 1:48:16Speaker 15: time the Federal Reserve cut rates for Joe Biden. So
- 1:48:21Speaker 15: it isn't Trump who's been political at the Federal Reserve.
- 1:48:24Speaker 15: It's Jerome Powell who's been political. He's been trying to
- 1:48:27Speaker 15: hold back the Trump recovery. By the way, he's a lawyer.
- 1:48:32Speaker 15: He's not even an economist. That's kind of strange. But
- 1:48:35Speaker 15: I could agree with you more. We could have a
- 1:48:37Speaker 15: housing boom. But everything I learned this from you. Everything
- 1:48:41Speaker 15: keys off of the price of gas, everything, and that
- 1:48:44Speaker 15: will get us lower interest rates. Kevin Worrish's a very
- 1:48:48Speaker 15: good man than the Federal Reserve board chairman. I still
- 1:48:52Speaker 15: think we could have a boom economy by October.
- 1:48:55Speaker 3: I agree with you one hundred percent. I think I
- 1:48:59Speaker 3: think could be September. And if you have all those
- 1:49:03Speaker 3: trainions of dollars of business coming in, and then around
- 1:49:07Speaker 3: the big businesses, let's say Toyota builds a new billion
- 1:49:11Speaker 3: dollar plant, the two billion dollar plant and I've talked
- 1:49:15Speaker 3: to our Small Business Administration allow for what's the name
- 1:49:19Speaker 3: Lauf Laffer, Yes, and what they do, the SBA is
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: going to lend money to small businesses to build a
- 1:49:28Speaker 3: small businesses around those billion dollar pharmaceutical deals, those billion
- 1:49:34Speaker 3: dollar more bill deals. So you'll have small business playing
- 1:49:38Speaker 3: the music along with big business. And that's what the
- 1:49:43Speaker 3: future of the United States. And the other thing I
- 1:49:45Speaker 3: have said publicly, I'm the first one to predict the
- 1:49:48Speaker 3: fifty thousand Dow when it was down to thirty two
- 1:49:51Speaker 3: thousand last June or July. I predict that if all
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: those things happen, that the Dow jones could be close
- 1:49:58Speaker 3: between fifty seven and sixty thousand by the end of
- 1:50:02Speaker 3: this year. Roger, what do you think.
- 1:50:05Speaker 15: I think you're right on the money. It's interesting these
- 1:50:08Speaker 15: new poles show us that people have reservations about these
- 1:50:13Speaker 15: data centers. And the nice thing about data centers is
- 1:50:16Speaker 15: you can build them anywhere. You can build them on
- 1:50:18Speaker 15: rural lands, you can build them on Native American lands.
- 1:50:21Speaker 15: But their concerns are that the utility right costs.
- 1:50:25Speaker 9: Will go up.
- 1:50:26Speaker 15: There's now technology that the government's looking very heavily at
- 1:50:30Speaker 15: it doesn't use a fossil fuel based energy producer that
- 1:50:36Speaker 15: could fund these data centers, so there'd be no bump
- 1:50:41Speaker 15: in utility costs and there'd be no shortage of water,
- 1:50:45Speaker 15: the two things you need to run these things. So
- 1:50:48Speaker 15: I think high technology is going to give us a
- 1:50:50Speaker 15: boom in that area as well.
- 1:50:52Speaker 5: Roger. It already is happening.
- 1:50:54Speaker 7: I took a look at Caterpillar and Deer there. I mean,
- 1:50:58Speaker 7: there has been a major, major run on construction materials.
- 1:51:02Speaker 5: You know, before you can.
- 1:51:03Speaker 7: Have the power drain, you got to build the data centers,
- 1:51:06Speaker 7: and there is a building boom surrounding this situation. By
- 1:51:11Speaker 7: the way, you mentioned you can build them anywhere. You
- 1:51:12Speaker 7: can also build them in space. That's something Elon Musk
- 1:51:15Speaker 7: is working on, by the way, and that will just
- 1:51:16Speaker 7: use the solar power from outer space. But this is
- 1:51:19Speaker 7: already something that's happening. I mean, I think that there
- 1:51:22Speaker 7: are a couple of stories out there, Roger, that are
- 1:51:26Speaker 7: telling us that the economy is stronger than we think,
- 1:51:28Speaker 7: including trucking volume. You know, you can have trains, you
- 1:51:30Speaker 7: can have planes, you can do whatever you want. But
- 1:51:32Speaker 7: at the end of the day, almost every good and
- 1:51:34Speaker 7: good that's delivered in America is delivered at the end
- 1:51:37Speaker 7: by someone in a truck, and the trucking volumes are
- 1:51:40Speaker 7: through the roof. I mean, the economy, boom economy might
- 1:51:43Speaker 7: be here already, we just don't know about it.
- 1:51:48Speaker 15: Well, I'll tell you one thing. I've never met a
- 1:51:50Speaker 15: truck driver who is for Kamala Harris, that's for sure.
- 1:51:54Speaker 4: So Roger Stone, it's dominate. Good morning. I want to
- 1:51:58Speaker 4: two questions I want to ask you. One's very simplistic
- 1:52:01Speaker 4: in terms of what does Memorial Day mean to you?
- 1:52:05Speaker 4: After all, that's what we're here in feeling and for
- 1:52:08Speaker 4: sid And then the second question, is it a coincidence
- 1:52:12Speaker 4: that these shootings, alleged shootings and you know, keep happening
- 1:52:18Speaker 4: around President Trump. I saw a poll roger Stone that
- 1:52:24Speaker 4: said as much as forty nine percent of Democrats believe
- 1:52:27Speaker 4: that these things are staged in part, which is nutty
- 1:52:31Speaker 4: by President Trump. So if you're gonna answer those two
- 1:52:33Speaker 4: questions for me, sure.
- 1:52:36Speaker 15: First of all, Dominica, we've been friends you a long time,
- 1:52:39Speaker 15: a very long time.
- 1:52:39Speaker 8: Brother.
- 1:52:40Speaker 4: It's always great to slay all over to you always
- 1:52:43Speaker 4: and wait wait, wait, wait, wait, stop, Roger Stone, you're
- 1:52:47Speaker 4: not a sometimey friend. If Roger Stone is with you,
- 1:52:51Speaker 4: Roger Stone is with you and good Roger Stone is
- 1:52:54Speaker 4: with you in bad he doesn't turn his back on you.
- 1:52:58Speaker 4: That needs to be said, Roger Please.
- 1:53:01Speaker 9: Well, that's very kind. You're a good man. Dominique.
- 1:53:05Speaker 15: You know, I think sadly that this, this spasm of
- 1:53:10Speaker 15: violence in the country, these shootings, this has been driven
- 1:53:13Speaker 15: by the overheated rhetoric of one party. I don't know
- 1:53:18Speaker 15: any Republicans are going around screaming for the death of
- 1:53:22Speaker 15: Chuck Schumer, for example.
- 1:53:23Speaker 9: That would be horrific, irresponsible.
- 1:53:27Speaker 15: But the overheated rhetoric is what I think is responsible
- 1:53:31Speaker 15: for this spasm of violence, and the idea that anyone
- 1:53:35Speaker 15: would stage an assassination attemp. You can go all over
- 1:53:40Speaker 15: Twitter right now x as they call it and find
- 1:53:42Speaker 15: the people who said, oh, the whole White House correspondent.
- 1:53:45Speaker 15: I think that was planned by Roger Stone. I find
- 1:53:48Speaker 15: that particularly offensive. You know, last week when I was
- 1:53:53Speaker 15: in Washington, see, I went out to Arlen Simons Alington
- 1:53:57Speaker 15: Cemetery and I went to the gravesite of my political mentor,
- 1:54:01Speaker 15: Governor John Davis Lodge of Connecticut. Lodge was Henry Cabot
- 1:54:06Speaker 15: Lodge's brother of the Lodge brothers. Their father was Henry
- 1:54:11Speaker 15: Cabot Lodge Senior and the Secretary of War under Theodore
- 1:54:16Speaker 15: Roosevelt was Teddy Roosevelt's best friend, US Senator of Massachusetts.
- 1:54:22Speaker 15: Lodge was a governor, congressman, ambassador to Argentina, Spain, and
- 1:54:29Speaker 15: later Switzerland Spain under Eisenhower, Argentina under Nixon.
- 1:54:34Speaker 9: Swisser Woman under the Reagan.
- 1:54:35Speaker 15: He was one of the greatest men I ever knew
- 1:54:38Speaker 15: it was, and I went up to visit his grave.
- 1:54:41Speaker 15: He gave me my start, introduced me to Richard Nixon,
- 1:54:44Speaker 15: and the rest is history. But it is so moving
- 1:54:49Speaker 15: to look across Arlen Cemetery in the morning and see
- 1:54:54Speaker 15: the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of graves of men
- 1:54:58Speaker 15: and women who gave all for this country. So when
- 1:55:02Speaker 15: people say to me, Happy Memorial Day, No, today is
- 1:55:05Speaker 15: not a day for happiness.
- 1:55:08Speaker 9: Today is a day for reflection. Today is a day
- 1:55:11Speaker 9: for gratitude to those who gave all for the country.
- 1:55:16Speaker 5: I just don't I want to continue on that theme
- 1:55:18Speaker 5: just a little bit.
- 1:55:19Speaker 15: You know.
- 1:55:19Speaker 7: I mentioned the name of Sarah Beckstrom a few hours ago,
- 1:55:24Speaker 7: someone who we should remember on this Memorial Day that
- 1:55:26Speaker 7: she was that National Guard trooper who was shot point
- 1:55:29Speaker 7: blank just by someone who wanted to take a cheap
- 1:55:32Speaker 7: political shot at someone trying to defend our country, and specifically,
- 1:55:36Speaker 7: you know, she was the perfect example of the answer
- 1:55:38Speaker 7: to that argument. People say, well, I was sending troops
- 1:55:41Speaker 7: over all overa far overseas when we have problems here
- 1:55:43Speaker 7: in this country. And President Trump's the first one in
- 1:55:46Speaker 7: so many ways to do that on this grand scale,
- 1:55:48Speaker 7: not only protecting cities like Washington, d C. But the
- 1:55:52Speaker 7: waters of our off of our southern borders from Ventanyl
- 1:55:56Speaker 7: and things like that. He's actually doing both of those things.
- 1:55:59Speaker 7: And I just think that Sarah is someone to remember
- 1:56:01Speaker 7: today because it's not only foreign wars where we've lost
- 1:56:06Speaker 7: our servicemen and women. It's in things like this where
- 1:56:08Speaker 7: someone is trying to make daily life in America safer.
- 1:56:11Speaker 15: For all this.
- 1:56:14Speaker 13: Well, he is the law and order president and he.
- 1:56:16Speaker 15: Wasn't getting around when it came to that. I was
- 1:56:18Speaker 15: in Washington, d C. Week before last. As you know,
- 1:56:21Speaker 15: I keep getting called down. Makes it hard to do
- 1:56:24Speaker 15: my show. We need to get an affiliate, We need
- 1:56:26Speaker 15: to get an affiliate in Washington, d C. I can
- 1:56:29Speaker 15: get a studio. But he is really intent on making
- 1:56:36Speaker 15: the nation's capital a model place. I mean he's going
- 1:56:38Speaker 15: to redevelop the entire waterfront, which is good to be magnificent,
- 1:56:43Speaker 15: but it's Jake, It's clean, it's safe, people are happy,
- 1:56:49Speaker 15: and it's the people who live there who are the happiest.
- 1:56:52Speaker 15: He's very serious about being the law and order president.
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: In Washington, d C. I mean, when people were scared
- 1:57:01Speaker 3: to walk around, it's almost like a regular you know,
- 1:57:05Speaker 3: back to normal. And uh, I mean the president has
- 1:57:09Speaker 3: done a great job. Janine Piro has done a great job.
- 1:57:12Speaker 3: Uh you know, uh, what's next? I mean, I know
- 1:57:17Speaker 3: you're sending people into uh you sent people into what
- 1:57:21Speaker 3: was in Tennessee, Memphis, Memphis and all and send them
- 1:57:28Speaker 3: and and New Orleans too. And uh and why, Roger,
- 1:57:34Speaker 3: you know, why are the Democrats who are these people
- 1:57:38Speaker 3: not to watch safety in their community. I don't understand
- 1:57:41Speaker 3: what the heck is going on.
- 1:57:44Speaker 15: It's hard to understand what the constituency is of those
- 1:57:48Speaker 15: who are dangerous illegal criminals.
- 1:57:51Speaker 13: Who are here when they're not supposed to be.
- 1:57:54Speaker 15: Where are the votes in that where It's interesting you
- 1:57:58Speaker 15: mentioned these places like Memphis, which was particularly dangerous. If
- 1:58:03Speaker 15: you talk to the people in Memphis, they're happy to
- 1:58:07Speaker 15: have the help.
- 1:58:09Speaker 9: Even the mayor of d C.
- 1:58:10Speaker 15: Bowser, who's not a fan of Downald from said the
- 1:58:13Speaker 15: least has been forced to admit that the city is
- 1:58:16Speaker 15: safer and it's cleaner since Downald Trump moved the National Garden. So,
- 1:58:21Speaker 15: but people who don't want anyone going to these urban
- 1:58:24Speaker 15: centers that are that are crime pits, they don't live there.
- 1:58:28Speaker 15: They're the people in the outside. He was very he
- 1:58:33Speaker 15: was very serious about becoming the law in order president.
- 1:58:36Speaker 15: And he'm country more stable and safer again.
- 1:58:40Speaker 5: And that's why Sarah Beckstrom didn't die in Vain.
- 1:58:43Speaker 3: You know. And it's just there's so many problems in
- 1:58:47Speaker 3: the country. I don't understand, you know. I was a
- 1:58:50Speaker 3: Democrat and at one time and I was a Bill
- 1:58:55Speaker 3: Cleton Democrat, I was JFK Democrat. But I don't understand.
- 1:59:00Speaker 3: And like Corey Booker, I know him in New Jersey,
- 1:59:02Speaker 3: I know him. Why Why does why is he criticizing
- 1:59:08Speaker 3: for shooting down the the the boats coming in with
- 1:59:13Speaker 3: with fetanol with drugs to kill our kids. I don't
- 1:59:20Speaker 3: understand it.
- 1:59:24Speaker 15: I think, I think to answer your question, John, is
- 1:59:26Speaker 15: that the base of voters in that party has moved
- 1:59:29Speaker 15: so far to the left that if you're a moderate
- 1:59:33Speaker 15: like Bill Clinton, you can no longer be nominated. There
- 1:59:36Speaker 15: is no constituency. The word moderate Democrat is an oxymoron.
- 1:59:41Speaker 15: It almost doesn't exist. Their party has been taken credit
- 1:59:46Speaker 15: by a radical clique of Marxists, like Mam Dommy, like AOC,
- 1:59:52Speaker 15: like Johann Omar, like that old wind bag Bernie Sanders.
- 1:59:57Speaker 15: I don't think it's electable. They don't have a platform.
- 2:00:00Speaker 15: Let me sum up their platform for me. If I
- 2:00:02Speaker 15: may we hate Donald Trump. There's their platform. They don't
- 2:00:06Speaker 15: have anything else. They have no plan for energy independence,
- 2:00:09Speaker 15: they have no plan to keep inflation down. They have
- 2:00:12Speaker 15: no plan for housing, they have no plan for safer
- 2:00:15Speaker 15: streets and communities. They have no plan to.
- 2:00:20Speaker 9: Rebuild our military.
- 2:00:22Speaker 13: They literally have no plan.
- 2:00:24Speaker 15: It's all based on anti and I don't think that
- 2:00:27Speaker 15: will work.
- 2:00:28Speaker 4: And you left out that they are also Democrats also
- 2:00:32Speaker 4: for a crime. I mean that that's part of their
- 2:00:35Speaker 4: platform as well.
- 2:00:36Speaker 3: And I don't understand that. I don't understand. I mean,
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: I understand having a heart, and you know, you know
- 2:00:43Speaker 3: you don't want a guy to get five years in
- 2:00:46Speaker 3: prison for stealing a loaf of bread. I mean, I
- 2:00:49Speaker 3: can understand that, but murderers, drug dealers, I mean to
- 2:00:56Speaker 3: criticize the fact that the deports them. The FBI has
- 2:01:03Speaker 3: to arrest them because local authorities don't arrest them.
- 2:01:06Speaker 4: We went too far from George Floyd. It's as simple
- 2:01:09Speaker 4: as that. It went way, way too far, and now
- 2:01:12Speaker 4: Democrats are the party of criminals. And it's why people
- 2:01:16Speaker 4: like myself, you and others have left and why we
- 2:01:19Speaker 4: turn to people for solid advice like Roger Stone, who's
- 2:01:23Speaker 4: the real deal.
- 2:01:26Speaker 9: I'm pretty kind.
- 2:01:27Speaker 3: Roger is on every day from eight o'clock to nine
- 2:01:30Speaker 3: o'clock Monday through Friday, and two o'clock special on Sunday afternoons.
- 2:01:37Speaker 3: I think it's the three to five Yeah, and please
- 2:01:43Speaker 3: listen to Roger Ston't and you're right, Roger, I saw
- 2:01:45Speaker 3: that text someplace that they call your show a different
- 2:01:50Speaker 3: name Monday through Friday than they do on Sunday. Should
- 2:01:52Speaker 3: be the same name, because when I look at it
- 2:01:55Speaker 3: to find a podcast or find a mini casts, it's
- 2:01:58Speaker 3: harder to find. And we'll tell programming to make sure
- 2:02:04Speaker 3: they they just should put it under Roger Stone.
- 2:02:07Speaker 13: Stone We're working with We're working with.
- 2:02:09Speaker 15: Kevin and tend to have it all branded as the
- 2:02:12Speaker 15: Stone Zone.
- 2:02:13Speaker 3: You got it, the Stone Zone, Roger Stone, thank you
- 2:02:16Speaker 3: for everything you do and tell the truth to the
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: American people. That's very important. And thank you for coming
- 2:02:23Speaker 3: on this Memorial Day. And let's not forget. Let's not
- 2:02:27Speaker 3: forget all the people we have lost on Memorial Day.
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
- 2:02:42Speaker 6: Sid and Friends in the.
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: Morning Entertaining and Informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 2:02:51Speaker 4: Mister Katzmantine's before we toss to a break here, big
- 2:02:55Speaker 4: news in terms of a new addition to your family,
- 2:02:57Speaker 4: your your latest grandson. I was with this earlier. I
- 2:03:01Speaker 4: didn't ask you. How's mom doing? Is she okay? How's
- 2:03:04Speaker 4: your son doing? And I know your your wife, missus
- 2:03:07Speaker 4: Katsaman is very involved in the process. How's everybody doing.
- 2:03:10Speaker 3: Everybody's doing fine. My wife is listening to the show
- 2:03:13Speaker 3: right now. She's given me comments every ten minutes. And uh,
- 2:03:17Speaker 3: and my my, I haven't heard from my son or
- 2:03:20Speaker 3: his wife this morning. Maybe they were up all night
- 2:03:23Speaker 3: with you know, with the new baby and the new
- 2:03:27Speaker 3: baby's name is going to be Uh after his grandfather's Uh.
- 2:03:33Speaker 3: My father's name Andreas and his uh mother's grandfather uh
- 2:03:40Speaker 3: and Angelo. So originally from the south Bronx and sisterly.
- 2:03:46Speaker 5: What is the Greek tradition? By the way, do you
- 2:03:49Speaker 5: I mean, is it? Does it have to be a
- 2:03:50Speaker 5: deceased relative that you name a child?
- 2:03:52Speaker 3: No, it doesn't matter, Okay. I mean when I named
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: him my son, John Junior, I wasn't deceased.
- 2:03:57Speaker 5: I figured, I.
- 2:04:00Speaker 3: Think there is tradition, and then when you have the courage,
- 2:04:03Speaker 3: you do what the heck you want.
- 2:04:04Speaker 4: So I remember when you and your wife were hoping
- 2:04:06Speaker 4: for grandkids, and now you have two.
- 2:04:08Speaker 3: How does it feel? It feels good? And we took
- 2:04:12Speaker 3: care of J three over the weekend because that J four,
- 2:04:18Speaker 3: he's not name J four. I don't want to confuse anybody.
- 2:04:23Speaker 3: We still have we're still nickname still coming.
- 2:04:27Speaker 4: So, mister Kats, you know a lot of people they
- 2:04:31Speaker 4: say to me, how am I able to keep up
- 2:04:33Speaker 4: my hours?
- 2:04:33Speaker 3: That I work?
- 2:04:34Speaker 16: Right?
- 2:04:34Speaker 4: So I was on early this morning, and my answer
- 2:04:36Speaker 4: always is that I get it from you and your wife.
- 2:04:39Speaker 4: I thought that I worked hard until I met you.
- 2:04:41Speaker 4: Two where do you get your work ethic from you
- 2:04:44Speaker 4: and your wife? I've never seen anything like it before
- 2:04:46Speaker 4: in my life.
- 2:04:47Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm in my seventies, Don and you
- 2:04:50Speaker 3: know I believe in trying to make a difference between
- 2:04:53Speaker 3: my time is time to go And unfortunately we talked
- 2:04:56Speaker 3: about it before that. You know, ninety five is about
- 2:05:01Speaker 3: the limits of normal human beings. My father went to
- 2:05:06Speaker 3: ninety four, So hopefully I have at least another fifteen
- 2:05:10Speaker 3: to twenty years.
- 2:05:11Speaker 7: You got some of the good jeans. All right, we're
- 2:05:12Speaker 7: getting ready for the nine o'clock hour. Bruce Blakeman is
- 2:05:14Speaker 7: going to be joining us, also doctor Mark Siegel, my
- 2:05:16Speaker 7: good friend. We talk about a lot of top issues
- 2:05:19Speaker 7: as we celebrate the new grandchild, and also we hope
- 2:05:22Speaker 7: that you have a meaningful I think that's the best
- 2:05:24Speaker 7: way to greet people a meaningful Memorial Day.
- 2:05:26Speaker 5: We'll be right back Sid.
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: And Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning entertaining and informative on
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 2:05:46Speaker 3: With us this morning. Bruce Blakeman, Well, a lot of
- 2:05:50Speaker 3: people are pushing for him for governor of the State
- 2:05:53Speaker 3: of New York, and Bruce Blakeman, you have the safest
- 2:05:58Speaker 3: county and in the country. Out of twenty five hundred
- 2:06:04Speaker 3: counties in the out there in the country, Nasau County
- 2:06:07Speaker 3: is the safe as county. Do you want to make
- 2:06:10Speaker 3: New York State the safe at county, the save as
- 2:06:13Speaker 3: state in the country.
- 2:06:16Speaker 8: Absolutely, John. I hired six hundred new law enforcement professionals
- 2:06:21Speaker 8: just in my first four years in office, and just
- 2:06:25Speaker 8: in the last six months, I have hired two hundred
- 2:06:29Speaker 8: and eighty new law enforcement professionals. We are hiring more cops,
- 2:06:36Speaker 8: more corrections officers, deputy sheriffs. We are investing millions of
- 2:06:42Speaker 8: dollars in our intelligence and training center, and we have
- 2:06:46Speaker 8: the most state of the art training village for our
- 2:06:49Speaker 8: police department in the world. So I am investing. I
- 2:06:54Speaker 8: am working with ICE to make sure that we get
- 2:06:58Speaker 8: illegal migrants with criminal records out of our county, out
- 2:07:02Speaker 8: of our state, out of the region, without raiding schools,
- 2:07:06Speaker 8: without raiding daycare centers or hospitals or churches. We go
- 2:07:11Speaker 8: after the illegal migrants who have committed crimes.
- 2:07:15Speaker 3: Well, that's what I originally said to President Trump in
- 2:07:19Speaker 3: that dinner in Suffering Suffolk County, is let's go after
- 2:07:26Speaker 3: Let's go after the drug dealers. Let's go after the murderers.
- 2:07:31Speaker 3: Let's go after the people hurting our children. And let's
- 2:07:36Speaker 3: worry about Let's worry about the more love rowers and
- 2:07:45Speaker 3: the bus boys and the Yuba drivers later on. But
- 2:07:49Speaker 3: let's worry about the murderers. Let's get them out. I mean,
- 2:07:52Speaker 3: I don't understand how eighty percent of the people say, yes,
- 2:07:58Speaker 3: you're right, let's get the murderers out of here. And
- 2:08:02Speaker 3: you tell us, how do you feel?
- 2:08:04Speaker 8: Well? Listen, I agree, and in my county, that's exactly
- 2:08:09Speaker 8: what we do. You know. One of the things I
- 2:08:11Speaker 8: think we need, John, is a comprehensive immigration program where
- 2:08:17Speaker 8: if you've been in the country for seven or eight
- 2:08:19Speaker 8: years or more and you overstate your visa, you're gainfully
- 2:08:24Speaker 8: employed and you haven't gotten in any trouble, there should
- 2:08:28Speaker 8: be a path to legality. I'm not saying citizenship, but
- 2:08:33Speaker 8: a path to legality. Let's get a guest worker program.
- 2:08:37Speaker 8: Restaurants need workers, farms need workers, hotels need workers, you
- 2:08:43Speaker 8: name it. There are businesses that need workers and this
- 2:08:47Speaker 8: would be a good way to fill their need. But
- 2:08:50Speaker 8: at the same time be capassionate. So I'm not just
- 2:08:53Speaker 8: a tough guy, John, I'm a thoughtful person who has compassion.
- 2:08:58Speaker 8: And yes, I want all the criminals out. I want
- 2:09:02Speaker 8: the criminals out in New York State. They don't belong here.
- 2:09:05Speaker 8: But while I'll tell you one thing I won't do, John,
- 2:09:08Speaker 8: I won't give eight billion dollars of taxpayer money to
- 2:09:11Speaker 8: legal migrants because they got to earn what they get.
- 2:09:15Speaker 8: They've got to be gainfully employed. They've got to make
- 2:09:19Speaker 8: sure that they have values that comport with American values.
- 2:09:24Speaker 8: Because too many of the migrants that came in illegally
- 2:09:29Speaker 8: from Mexico and other places, they don't have American values.
- 2:09:34Speaker 8: Those we should get out if they don't love America,
- 2:09:38Speaker 8: if they're not happy to be here, like probably your
- 2:09:41Speaker 8: parents or grandparents. Did I know my grandparents, They loved America.
- 2:09:45Speaker 8: So that's another thing. We've got to make sure that
- 2:09:48Speaker 8: the people who are here actually share our values and
- 2:09:51Speaker 8: love America.
- 2:09:52Speaker 3: I agree, Bruce. I agree with you in one more thing.
- 2:09:57Speaker 12: You know.
- 2:09:58Speaker 3: I was vice chairman of Ellis Island and Bill Sagas
- 2:10:03Speaker 3: was chairman. Lei Coca was honorary chairman, and we brought
- 2:10:07Speaker 3: in zillion immigrants, and but the immigrants were bringing in
- 2:10:11Speaker 3: had no diseases. We made sure they were all checked
- 2:10:15Speaker 3: at the border, not to hurt our kids, not the
- 2:10:18Speaker 3: way it's been happening under the Biden administration. They came
- 2:10:24Speaker 3: in to work eighty hours a week. When my father
- 2:10:28Speaker 3: came in, guess what if he didn't pay the rent,
- 2:10:32Speaker 3: then his brothers had to pay the rent. I mean,
- 2:10:36Speaker 3: there's a difference between immigrants, the traditional immigrants America got
- 2:10:41Speaker 3: and the migrants that Joe Biden brought in. They emptied out.
- 2:10:46Speaker 3: They emptied out the jails in Venezuela, the hospitals in Venezuela.
- 2:10:51Speaker 3: And guess where they sent them. They sent them to
- 2:10:53Speaker 3: New York. And guess what we gave We paid them.
- 2:10:57Speaker 3: We gave free telephones, free rule rooms, free hotel rooms.
- 2:11:03Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
- 2:11:05Speaker 8: Bruce, eight billion dollars of our money given to legal migrants.
- 2:11:12Speaker 8: All we have to do is show up to New
- 2:11:14Speaker 8: York State and sign up. And that's why we've become
- 2:11:18Speaker 8: a magnet for legal migrants all over the country. And
- 2:11:22Speaker 8: that's why when Kathy Hochel says she doesn't have money
- 2:11:26Speaker 8: for union workers, she doesn't have money for infrastructure, she
- 2:11:30Speaker 8: doesn't have money for our hospital, she doesn't have money
- 2:11:32Speaker 8: for our schools. Then stop spending it on illegal migrants
- 2:11:37Speaker 8: who haven't earned a thing, and start spending it on
- 2:11:40Speaker 8: New Yorkers.
- 2:11:42Speaker 3: We want people that want to be here. Dominic Carter,
- 2:11:44Speaker 3: you have a question for Bruce, Yes, I do. County Executive,
- 2:11:49Speaker 3: good morning on this Memorial Day. I gotta tell you, Tom,
- 2:11:53Speaker 3: some of us have institutional history to remember the last
- 2:11:58Speaker 3: time a Republican was elected governor of New York State.
- 2:12:02Speaker 3: Some of us can remember Pataki, well, some of us
- 2:12:06Speaker 3: can remember ABC. Anybody but Cuomo. And so I've been
- 2:12:11Speaker 3: watching you very closely and you don't know it for
- 2:12:15Speaker 3: the last several months. And County Executive, you got the look,
- 2:12:18Speaker 3: you got the sound, you got the charisma, You connect
- 2:12:22Speaker 3: with many communities outside of what is your traditional base,
- 2:12:27Speaker 3: and you've got the record.
- 2:12:29Speaker 4: So I see a path to victory for you. I
- 2:12:34Speaker 4: really do see you as as the next governor. You
- 2:12:38Speaker 4: tell me how you pull this thing off. So so
- 2:12:40Speaker 4: you deliver upstate traditionally vote Republican, and if there, what
- 2:12:46Speaker 4: does it take is a lowering of the vote in.
- 2:12:48Speaker 3: New York City. How do you win this thing?
- 2:12:50Speaker 4: Because I'm telling you, You've got an excellent shot at
- 2:12:53Speaker 4: being the next governor of New York State, just like
- 2:12:55Speaker 4: Pataki came out of nowhere and won.
- 2:12:58Speaker 8: Well, We're gonna build a polish of voters that traditionally
- 2:13:02Speaker 8: don't vote Republican. We're talking about middle class African Americans
- 2:13:08Speaker 8: who own a single family or two family home in
- 2:13:11Speaker 8: Brooklyn or Queens or the Bronx. We're talking about Hispanic
- 2:13:15Speaker 8: Americans that are entrepreneurs, Asian Americans that want better schools
- 2:13:21Speaker 8: for their kids. I go into those neighborhoods in my
- 2:13:24Speaker 8: own county and I get record numbers as a Republican.
- 2:13:27Speaker 8: You know, Dominic, I won reelection in a county with
- 2:13:30Speaker 8: one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats in a landslide
- 2:13:34Speaker 8: because I got a majority of Hispanic and American voters.
- 2:13:38Speaker 8: I got independent women. I got African Americans to vote
- 2:13:43Speaker 8: for me in numbers that they never voted for a
- 2:13:45Speaker 8: Republican before. Typical Republican in Mike County gets nine percent,
- 2:13:51Speaker 8: only nine percent of the African American vote. I got
- 2:13:54Speaker 8: thirty two percent of the African American vote because they
- 2:13:57Speaker 8: trust me, they know me. Take a look at the
- 2:13:59Speaker 8: Asian American community. What do they care about. They're also entrepreneurs,
- 2:14:04Speaker 8: small business people. They are people who just want to
- 2:14:08Speaker 8: be left alone. Lower taxes, lower utility rates, and they
- 2:14:11Speaker 8: want better schools for their kids. So we're building a coalition.
- 2:14:15Speaker 8: I hope the turnout is big in New York City
- 2:14:18Speaker 8: because I think people are miserable under Kathy Hogel. They
- 2:14:21Speaker 8: now know that Zoah and Mundami is a complete phony,
- 2:14:25Speaker 8: that he hasn't been able to deliver on anything, and
- 2:14:28Speaker 8: they're disgruntled. And I feel very confident that we're going
- 2:14:31Speaker 8: to get record numbers in New York City, that we're
- 2:14:34Speaker 8: going to get big numbers in west Chester, of course,
- 2:14:37Speaker 8: Long Island and then the Hudson Valley and all of
- 2:14:40Speaker 8: upstate New York. I feel very confident. I believe on
- 2:14:43Speaker 8: January first, very strongly, that I will be the governor
- 2:14:47Speaker 8: of this state.
- 2:14:48Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman, this is Jake Novak, your constituent in Merrick
- 2:14:51Speaker 7: Along Island. Thank you for all you're doing there. I
- 2:14:54Speaker 7: also went to high school with your wife, Sigal So
- 2:14:56Speaker 7: tell her, I said, Hi, we'll do Yeah. It's another issue,
- 2:15:02Speaker 7: of course, and this is a big issue in Nassau
- 2:15:04Speaker 7: County and it's a big issue in this area. And
- 2:15:07Speaker 7: you just mentioned Mayor Mom Donnie obviously the rise in
- 2:15:10Speaker 7: anti Semitism, and you know, my theory as a student
- 2:15:13Speaker 7: of this my entire life unfortunately, has been anti Semitism
- 2:15:17Speaker 7: actually doesn't have anything to do with the Jews. They're
- 2:15:19Speaker 7: the target of it, but it's got nothing to do
- 2:15:21Speaker 7: with what Jews do or don't do. It's actually a
- 2:15:24Speaker 7: law and order issue. And when you have a governor
- 2:15:28Speaker 7: who continues with these ridiculous no cash bail laws, when
- 2:15:31Speaker 7: you have a mayor who's in favor of that and
- 2:15:33Speaker 7: also emptying the jails, the first thing that people like
- 2:15:35Speaker 7: me say, this will lead to anti Semitism soon enough,
- 2:15:39Speaker 7: because if you have someone who doesn't respect the law.
- 2:15:42Speaker 7: We've already talked about that in regards to ice, but
- 2:15:45Speaker 7: if you have someone who doesn't respect the law when
- 2:15:46Speaker 7: it comes to things like bail, when it comes to
- 2:15:48Speaker 7: things like there was a video going around on social
- 2:15:50Speaker 7: media this weekend, someone with the bag going into a
- 2:15:52Speaker 7: home depot in the Five Boroughs and cleaning out the
- 2:15:55Speaker 7: home depot, putting into their bag and then going to
- 2:15:57Speaker 7: a bakery. Because none of those business owners can really
- 2:15:59Speaker 7: do anything about shoplifting anymore. This is really a law
- 2:16:02Speaker 7: and order issue that goes beyond ice. Talk about some
- 2:16:05Speaker 7: of the things that you're going to push back on on,
- 2:16:08Speaker 7: Kathy Hokl when it comes to just regular law and
- 2:16:10Speaker 7: order over and above the illegal immigration issue.
- 2:16:13Speaker 8: Well, you know, Jake, it's not only just law in order.
- 2:16:16Speaker 8: And you're absolutely right, because law in order creates the
- 2:16:19Speaker 8: atmosphere for anti Semitism. Law in order creates the atmosphere
- 2:16:24Speaker 8: on attacking small businesses and taking what you want from
- 2:16:27Speaker 8: their stores without consequences. That's all true, but I think
- 2:16:31Speaker 8: there's a bigger game at play here, and that's what
- 2:16:33Speaker 8: worries me the most. Is you have a rise in
- 2:16:36Speaker 8: people who are denigrating those who make jobs, those who
- 2:16:42Speaker 8: are successful, trying to bring them down, using the Jews
- 2:16:46Speaker 8: as a scapegoat, and then as a precursor to taking
- 2:16:51Speaker 8: people's property rights away. First you tax them so high
- 2:16:55Speaker 8: that they can't afford to keep their businesses, and then
- 2:16:58Speaker 8: government takes their busines, and then government is running everything.
- 2:17:02Speaker 8: They're using this lawlessness to create an atmosphere of fear.
- 2:17:07Speaker 8: And you have a mayor in the City of New
- 2:17:10Speaker 8: York who doesn't believe in property rights and is a
- 2:17:13Speaker 8: viria and anti Semite, and we need a governor that's
- 2:17:16Speaker 8: going to keep him in check because not only is
- 2:17:18Speaker 8: that anti Semitism, that is anti American. First it'll be
- 2:17:23Speaker 8: the Jews, then it'll be the Christians, that it'll be
- 2:17:25Speaker 8: somebody else. We've got to make sure we stop it. Now.
- 2:17:31Speaker 7: You know another issue that we're seeing throughout the state
- 2:17:34Speaker 7: is you mentioned it is the tax situation, and we
- 2:17:37Speaker 7: talked about the eight billion dollars in the bailout that
- 2:17:40Speaker 7: Kathy Hochel provided to New York City County Executive Blakeman.
- 2:17:45Speaker 7: I think you have one of the greatest messages possible
- 2:17:48Speaker 7: ever for in the history of any downstate candidate. You
- 2:17:51Speaker 7: can go to Buffalo and Anianta and Rochester and all
- 2:17:54Speaker 7: those places and say, I'm the guy who's going to
- 2:17:57Speaker 7: protect the rest of the state from Zorah Mamdani. This
- 2:17:59Speaker 7: is not it's just a five borau issue. He's taking
- 2:18:01Speaker 7: away your tax money. Also, you have a great message there.
- 2:18:05Speaker 12: Well.
- 2:18:05Speaker 8: You know that was a real eye opener for people
- 2:18:08Speaker 8: upstate because when I went upstate originally a lot of
- 2:18:11Speaker 8: people didn't feel the effect of Zoroon Mandami as mayor.
- 2:18:15Speaker 8: They certainly didn't like him, but they didn't think it
- 2:18:18Speaker 8: affected them. And then when last month Kathy Hoku gave
- 2:18:22Speaker 8: one point five billion dollars to New York City without
- 2:18:26Speaker 8: any strings attached, that started to open up their eyes.
- 2:18:29Speaker 8: And then they were shocked when she gave them another
- 2:18:32Speaker 8: four billion dollars in this budget. So that's five point
- 2:18:36Speaker 8: five billion dollars in just two months, no strings attached,
- 2:18:41Speaker 8: no control board. And let me tell you something. New
- 2:18:44Speaker 8: York doesn't have a revenue problem. They've got a spending problem.
- 2:18:47Speaker 8: They spend on programs that don't produce results, that don't
- 2:18:51Speaker 8: benefit anybody. Somebody's making money, probably the contributors to Kathy
- 2:18:56Speaker 8: hokland Zooroon Mundami, and it's not benefiting the people. It's costly,
- 2:19:01Speaker 8: and people are getting taxed out of their homes and
- 2:19:04Speaker 8: that's got to stop. And that's one of the big
- 2:19:06Speaker 8: reasons why I'm running for governor. As well as cutting
- 2:19:09Speaker 8: utility costs. Our utility costs in New York State are
- 2:19:12Speaker 8: seventy percent higher, seventy zero percent higher than the rest
- 2:19:16Speaker 8: of the country. That is a disgrace. As governor, I
- 2:19:20Speaker 8: can stop and I can cut the utility bills in
- 2:19:22Speaker 8: half by getting rid of the green energy scam, excessive
- 2:19:25Speaker 8: fees and taxes on your utility bill.
- 2:19:29Speaker 4: As governor, if necessary, would you think twice about removing
- 2:19:34Speaker 4: Mom Donnie from office?
- 2:19:37Speaker 8: Well, Dominic, that's the question that I'm asked virtually every day,
- 2:19:41Speaker 8: and here's my response. It is very drastic to remove
- 2:19:45Speaker 8: a duly elected office holder after they've won an election,
- 2:19:51Speaker 8: and it would be the last resort that I would do.
- 2:19:55Speaker 8: He would have to do something that was really unlawful
- 2:19:59Speaker 8: and militarious to the health and well being of the
- 2:20:02Speaker 8: people of the City of New York. There's incremental discipline
- 2:20:06Speaker 8: that I could give to Zoah Mondami to get him
- 2:20:09Speaker 8: to behave and I'm willing to do that. Whether it
- 2:20:11Speaker 8: be purse rings, whether it be taking over various aspects
- 2:20:15Speaker 8: of city government by the state. Those are things that
- 2:20:18Speaker 8: I would be willing to do if he doesn't modify
- 2:20:20Speaker 8: his behavior. But right now, he's hurting himself more than
- 2:20:24Speaker 8: anything else. Because he's hurting New Yorkers. They've lost confidence
- 2:20:28Speaker 8: in him. They now see him as a phony. He
- 2:20:30Speaker 8: hasn't been able to keep his promit. Think about this, Dominant,
- 2:20:34Speaker 8: here's a guy who ran on free bus rides. Okay,
- 2:20:37Speaker 8: and a week after the election they raised the bus fairs.
- 2:20:40Speaker 8: I mean, if that isn't hypocritical, I don't know what is.
- 2:20:44Speaker 7: Well County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the Republican nominee to run
- 2:20:48Speaker 7: against Kathy Hopel and the governor's racist year in New
- 2:20:50Speaker 7: York State, a race that the entire country is watching
- 2:20:54Speaker 7: to see if maybe we can get some sanity in
- 2:20:56Speaker 7: one of our most important states in the United States.
- 2:21:00Speaker 5: Good luck to you. We'll speak to you again soon.
- 2:21:01Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
- 2:21:03Speaker 8: Thank you all. Have a meaningful Memorial Day.
- 2:21:05Speaker 3: Remember and keepin Bruce, thank you so much.
- 2:21:09Speaker 5: All Right, we come back.
- 2:21:10Speaker 7: We're gonna have doctor Mark Siegel a lot of health
- 2:21:12Speaker 7: issues to talk to him about.
- 2:21:13Speaker 3: And then after that, I think we got Choos Ambler
- 2:21:16Speaker 3: and Bruce Moslem hit me.
- 2:21:17Speaker 5: On a lot of big names to stay with us.
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:21:23Speaker 1: Podcast Network. Sid and Friends in the Morning Entertaining and
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 2:21:38Speaker 7: We're on the line right now with our good friend,
- 2:21:40Speaker 7: my good friend, doctor Mark Siegel, and doctor Siegel. We've
- 2:21:44Speaker 7: got a lot of health stories in the news right now.
- 2:21:46Speaker 7: But obviously the big one is this ebola outbreak in
- 2:21:50Speaker 7: the Congo. And I guess the scariest thing that I
- 2:21:53Speaker 7: heard in the last twenty four hours was that some
- 2:21:56Speaker 7: of the people in the Congo angry that the bodies
- 2:21:58Speaker 7: of their loved ones weren't turned back of them, so
- 2:22:00Speaker 7: they set fire to these ten hospitals and then so
- 2:22:03Speaker 7: doing at least eighteen patients left and we don't know
- 2:22:06Speaker 7: where they are.
- 2:22:06Speaker 5: I mean, this is pretty scary, doctor.
- 2:22:09Speaker 8: Well, this is stuff. These are Bola outbreaks have been
- 2:22:11Speaker 8: occurring for a decade now, and over a decade, two decades.
- 2:22:16Speaker 8: And actually the whole idea about lack of a healthcare infrastructure, Jake,
- 2:22:21Speaker 8: and the idea of you know, warring regions, and that's
- 2:22:25Speaker 8: what we're worried about right because it's getting into Sudan
- 2:22:27Speaker 8: now and Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
- 2:22:34Speaker 8: Not only do they have CDC boots on the ground
- 2:22:36Speaker 8: and they have their own methods of taking care of ebola,
- 2:22:42Speaker 8: but when we get into the more war torn regions
- 2:22:45Speaker 8: that you're talking about, we're going to see more spread.
- 2:22:48Speaker 8: Now twenty and fourteen to sixteen, we saw twenty eight
- 2:22:51Speaker 8: thousand cases where about it in a thousand cases now,
- 2:22:56Speaker 8: so that dwarfs this. But there's a couple of caveats.
- 2:23:00Speaker 8: One is that the Zayere strain, which is the one
- 2:23:04Speaker 8: that caused the prior outbreak, we have a vaccine for
- 2:23:07Speaker 8: that now which is eighty to ninety percent effective. We
- 2:23:10Speaker 8: can tweak that vaccine and get a vaccine to the
- 2:23:13Speaker 8: Bunga bugio strain, which is what this is. But right
- 2:23:17Speaker 8: now we don't have any vaccine, we don't have treatment.
- 2:23:19Speaker 8: A lot of stuff is in the works, but we
- 2:23:21Speaker 8: don't have it, and so it will spread without the
- 2:23:24Speaker 8: ability to control it. And that's one of the things
- 2:23:28Speaker 8: we worry about, and we worry about again at getting
- 2:23:30Speaker 8: into war torn regions. But surprisingly it's not new. That
- 2:23:34Speaker 8: doesn't make it better. It's just that it's not new.
- 2:23:37Speaker 8: And your point of how it's spreading is correct. You
- 2:23:41Speaker 8: need close contact to spread this. It's not spreading through
- 2:23:44Speaker 8: the air. The difficulty of suppreading it human to human
- 2:23:48Speaker 8: is actually something on our side. But if you get it,
- 2:23:51Speaker 8: the death rate is somewhere between thirty and fifty percent.
- 2:23:54Speaker 8: So that's that's why we're so worried about it.
- 2:23:57Speaker 7: Anything different, This time Ronnie mentioned is afferent strain, but
- 2:24:01Speaker 7: anything different this time? I mean, we did we learn
- 2:24:03Speaker 7: some lessons here and I guess that. My other question
- 2:24:06Speaker 7: is this, you know, one of the worst things about
- 2:24:09Speaker 7: the way the COVID crisis was handled in this country
- 2:24:12Speaker 7: is that some of the institutions that people used to
- 2:24:14Speaker 7: trust did not act in an exemplary fashion. Let's face it,
- 2:24:18Speaker 7: the WHO, especially the World Health Organization. I'm worried doctor
- 2:24:22Speaker 7: that whenever we hear about these things breaking out there,
- 2:24:25Speaker 7: you know, it'll be like the boy.
- 2:24:26Speaker 5: The cried Wolf.
- 2:24:27Speaker 7: Suddenly there will be a real emergency. And the credibility
- 2:24:31Speaker 7: was eroded during COVID. I mean, is that something that
- 2:24:33Speaker 7: keeps you up at night?
- 2:24:33Speaker 8: Two? No, because the thing with COVID was way more
- 2:24:39Speaker 8: complicated than that. Honestly, I think that that it became political,
- 2:24:44Speaker 8: but not not simply for the reason you say, here's
- 2:24:48Speaker 8: what my view on COVID is. To bore you for
- 2:24:50Speaker 8: thirty seconds, A, I don't think they took seriously, where
- 2:24:54Speaker 8: did this virus come from? I think that you had
- 2:24:57Speaker 8: people in the lab in Wuhan playing with bad coronaviruses.
- 2:25:00Speaker 8: The WHO, at least then possibly now had a lot
- 2:25:04Speaker 8: of Chinese health officials involved with it, and it was
- 2:25:07Speaker 8: in their interests to call it a regional problem while
- 2:25:09Speaker 8: it was spreading around the world. We never have really
- 2:25:12Speaker 8: answered where it came from. I don't focus on what
- 2:25:15Speaker 8: Count Tony Fauci was doing in that regard because I
- 2:25:19Speaker 8: know him and I think that he was trying to
- 2:25:22Speaker 8: actually be helpful. But he also stepped outside his lane
- 2:25:25Speaker 8: when he got into public health. He's more of an
- 2:25:27Speaker 8: immunologist than a vaccine guy, and so the public distrust
- 2:25:31Speaker 8: came from conflicting messages. And unfortunately, this is the part
- 2:25:36Speaker 8: you may disagree with, Jake. I think the pushback to
- 2:25:39Speaker 8: the messaging and the almost totalitarian flavor to it, You're
- 2:25:44Speaker 8: going to go here and we're going to restrict you
- 2:25:46Speaker 8: without the science to back it up. I think the
- 2:25:48Speaker 8: reaction to that has almost been as bad as the problem,
- 2:25:52Speaker 8: because there's been no trust in public health, and we
- 2:25:55Speaker 8: have people running the show now that we're basically just
- 2:25:59Speaker 8: against whatever it was that was shoved down our throat before.
- 2:26:03Speaker 8: That doesn't make them write either. Let's look at mRNA
- 2:26:06Speaker 8: vaccine technology, which has been taking getting a bloody nose
- 2:26:10Speaker 8: now for years.
- 2:26:10Speaker 3: A big a very big, bloody nose in a lot
- 2:26:14Speaker 3: of people are blaming that technology on a lot of
- 2:26:19Speaker 3: debts from the COVID vaccine. And right after you talk
- 2:26:23Speaker 3: about that, please talk about that.
- 2:26:25Speaker 8: And I know you think that, John, and I adore you,
- 2:26:28Speaker 8: but I also think that it saved many lives. And
- 2:26:30Speaker 8: the reason I know it's saved.
- 2:26:32Speaker 3: Ninetylive but two percent die.
- 2:26:35Speaker 8: I agree with that, agree with that. You're a smart guy.
- 2:26:37Speaker 8: This is why you're so successful. And while we're at it,
- 2:26:40Speaker 8: let's say that we should we should get Chris Christidi's
- 2:26:43Speaker 8: to shut down Mam Donnie, that's for sure.
- 2:26:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and we should carry on the organic fruit.
- 2:26:51Speaker 5: A little bit more. Bobko also helps Ja Jake, and
- 2:26:54Speaker 5: I'm glad that.
- 2:26:55Speaker 8: I'm glad that John has. By the way, Jake is
- 2:26:58Speaker 8: one of my dear friends for many years. The reason
- 2:27:03Speaker 8: you yeah, he loves me, really loves me. I come
- 2:27:07Speaker 8: from the wrong tribe for him. But the reason that
- 2:27:12Speaker 8: I'm bringing up mRNA, by the way, specific which is
- 2:27:15Speaker 8: that there are mRNA vaccines that are becoming available for ebola.
- 2:27:19Speaker 9: That's it.
- 2:27:19Speaker 8: That's the only reason I'm not really trying to relitigate that.
- 2:27:23Speaker 8: I think You're right, Jake, that there's a lot of
- 2:27:25Speaker 8: lying that went on, but it led to a reaction.
- 2:27:28Speaker 8: Also that I'm public health is about gaining public trust,
- 2:27:33Speaker 8: and you don't gain that by forcing people to do things,
- 2:27:36Speaker 8: and especially when you use nineteen eighteen reasoning for something
- 2:27:40Speaker 8: that's occurring one hundred years later. That whole thing with
- 2:27:43Speaker 8: the six foot distancing in the lockdowns was based on
- 2:27:46Speaker 8: an idea from nineteen eighteen when we had no technology.
- 2:27:50Speaker 8: So I don't want to see any of that happening now.
- 2:27:52Speaker 8: But I don't see it. You know, what's happening now
- 2:27:54Speaker 8: is that the Democrats are using Ebola to try to
- 2:27:57Speaker 8: claim that the administration can hand outbreak. That's pure bunk.
- 2:28:02Speaker 8: First of all, the boots on the ground in the
- 2:28:04Speaker 8: Democratic Republic of Congo and in Uganda, our top notch
- 2:28:10Speaker 8: CDC has a big presence there. We have the Epidemic
- 2:28:13Speaker 8: Intelligence Service there, CDC is participating. You know, the real
- 2:28:17Speaker 8: question is whether the countries that have the broken down
- 2:28:22Speaker 8: infrastructure because of war can handle this outbreak. But I
- 2:28:26Speaker 8: don't want fear to control our response here. We had
- 2:28:29Speaker 8: twenty eight times more cases in twenty fifteen.
- 2:28:33Speaker 5: Doctor Mark Siegel, thank you so much for keeping us
- 2:28:35Speaker 5: updated on all of that.
- 2:28:37Speaker 12: I know.
- 2:28:37Speaker 7: Also, you've been on the air this morning talking about sepsis,
- 2:28:41Speaker 7: that major story we haven't gotten to yet about the
- 2:28:43Speaker 7: death of Kyle Bush. Just a quick reminder, I'm sure
- 2:28:45Speaker 7: you'll back me up on this. If you have a
- 2:28:47Speaker 7: major injury or malady, make sure that your medical professionals
- 2:28:51Speaker 7: are looking for signs of sepsis.
- 2:28:52Speaker 5: Correct, doctor, Yeah.
- 2:28:53Speaker 8: Let me talk about that for a minute before you
- 2:28:55Speaker 8: throw me out. I actually was the first to say
- 2:28:58Speaker 8: that this was likely pneumonia. It's because he had a
- 2:29:01Speaker 8: severe sinus infection that wasn't responding. I thought it was
- 2:29:05Speaker 8: suspicious that a doctor came over there a few days
- 2:29:08Speaker 8: ago and suddenly gave him a shot. I thought that
- 2:29:10Speaker 8: was probably antibiotics. I want to point out that, you know,
- 2:29:13Speaker 8: on a racetrack, with all those fumes and the toxins
- 2:29:16Speaker 8: that that can drive infections, likely can drive infections deeper
- 2:29:19Speaker 8: into the lungs. And the point you just made, Jake
- 2:29:22Speaker 8: is that it can turn from pneumonia to sepsis very quickly,
- 2:29:25Speaker 8: because what sepsis is is the immune system basically turning
- 2:29:29Speaker 8: against you. It makes a lot of inflammation and the
- 2:29:32Speaker 8: body's not prepared for it. So your kidney shut down
- 2:29:35Speaker 8: and you get acid in your blood and your lungs
- 2:29:36Speaker 8: filled with fluid. And that's what looks like what happened
- 2:29:39Speaker 8: to him, and it's a warning sign that it can
- 2:29:42Speaker 8: happen to you at any age. And thirty to forty
- 2:29:44Speaker 8: percent of severe pneumonia untreated turns into sepsis. And people
- 2:29:48Speaker 8: that are on in racing cars and a lot of
- 2:29:51Speaker 8: our sports heroes and a lot of our heroes in
- 2:29:53Speaker 8: general don't think of themselves as vulnerable in this way.
- 2:29:56Speaker 8: So it's a big wake up call for how quickly
- 2:29:59Speaker 8: things can. Luckily, casti matitis has me on speed dial
- 2:30:03Speaker 8: and Peter also on speed dial, so nothing's happening.
- 2:30:06Speaker 3: Thank you. Between Mark Siegel and Peter Mihllos, we have him.
- 2:30:11Speaker 3: You know, he takes the take care of w ABC listeners.
- 2:30:14Speaker 3: Thank you so much, doctor Siegel, and have a great
- 2:30:18Speaker 3: rest of today.
- 2:30:19Speaker 8: Thank you, thanks very much.
- 2:30:20Speaker 3: And let's take a break and we're going to come
- 2:30:22Speaker 3: back with Bruce Mosler Cushman and Wakefield. He's chairman of
- 2:30:26Speaker 3: Global Brokerage and he's going to give us some poultse
- 2:30:29Speaker 3: of what's going on in the commercial real estate market.
- 2:30:33Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:30:37Speaker 1: podcast Network. Sid and Friends in the Morning Entertaining and
- 2:30:47Speaker 1: Informative on the Red Apple podcast Networks.
- 2:30:52Speaker 3: With us today is Bruce Mosler and Cushman and Wakefield,
- 2:30:56Speaker 3: chairman of Global rettig I, Guess and Commercial Properties. Well, Bruce,
- 2:31:04Speaker 3: give us your poultse is nobody better in the commercial marketing?
- 2:31:07Speaker 3: You give us a and you handle all the big companies.
- 2:31:12Speaker 3: Give us your pulse of New York Florida. Whatever you
- 2:31:16Speaker 3: want to tell us. And what I'm afraid of. We
- 2:31:19Speaker 3: both me and you both love New York. What I'm
- 2:31:21Speaker 3: afraid of is we're losing companies in retail, et cetera,
- 2:31:27Speaker 3: et cetera.
- 2:31:29Speaker 14: Well, John, good morning.
- 2:31:31Speaker 17: First of all, on this very important day, Memorial Day.
- 2:31:35Speaker 14: I'll come back to that.
- 2:31:36Speaker 17: But to answer your question, year to date, Manhattan has
- 2:31:39Speaker 17: had about sixteen point two million square feet of leasing.
- 2:31:44Speaker 17: That's about twelve percent up over last year, which was
- 2:31:48Speaker 17: the biggest year we've had in decades, thirty nine million
- 2:31:51Speaker 17: feet of renewal and new leasing.
- 2:31:54Speaker 11: That said, John, for me, the.
- 2:31:57Speaker 17: Concern is that we need to be careful in terms
- 2:32:00Speaker 17: of how much we push the envelope in terms of
- 2:32:04Speaker 17: taxing corporates, taxing individuals. The city is an expensive city
- 2:32:09Speaker 17: to do business. And yet with all of that said,
- 2:32:12Speaker 17: we continue to chug along because there is no other
- 2:32:15Speaker 17: city in the world that has the talent pool, the
- 2:32:18Speaker 17: labor skills that New York has. And that is no
- 2:32:22Speaker 17: offense to other cities. But the bottom line is, if
- 2:32:24Speaker 17: you're going to scale a business in tech or finance
- 2:32:27Speaker 17: or AI today, New York City is the place you
- 2:32:30Speaker 17: want to be. But let's face it, there's a breaking point,
- 2:32:33Speaker 17: and so we must be.
- 2:32:36Speaker 9: Careful.
- 2:32:36Speaker 17: We're here to understand that business is his friend. If
- 2:32:39Speaker 17: he wants to accomplish his own objectives of trying to
- 2:32:43Speaker 17: build affordable housing at scale, then it's a partnership public
- 2:32:47Speaker 17: private partnership that is needed.
- 2:32:52Speaker 3: You know, I've heard what happened with Ken Griffin this month,
- 2:32:57Speaker 3: and and I've heard Jamie the Diamond, you know, the
- 2:33:03Speaker 3: JP mork and chairman, and they're very upset. They're both
- 2:33:07Speaker 3: very upset. And Jamie just finished building a four billion
- 2:33:11Speaker 3: dollar building in New York, a three and a half
- 2:33:13Speaker 3: whatever it was. And but he's got more employees and
- 2:33:16Speaker 3: in Texas, and he has in New York and the
- 2:33:19Speaker 3: fact is that he's also building in Tampa.
- 2:33:21Speaker 10: I understand, John, I'm gonna say what I said earlier
- 2:33:29Speaker 10: and and and remind all of us that JP Morgan
- 2:33:33Speaker 10: others has had had a large number of.
- 2:33:36Speaker 17: Employees in other cities. As Jamie said very candidly, he
- 2:33:43Speaker 17: has a number of employees in Texas. But it is
- 2:33:47Speaker 17: everyone's preference as a CEO, in my opinion, to continue
- 2:33:51Speaker 17: to scale their business in New York.
- 2:33:52Speaker 12: And to do that, we have to have an.
- 2:33:55Speaker 17: Understanding that business is important to this city, not only
- 2:33:58Speaker 17: the businesses, but the leader of these businesses. The intellectual
- 2:34:01Speaker 17: capital that resides in New York City is unique and
- 2:34:05Speaker 17: it's special and we need to covet it and embrace it.
- 2:34:10Speaker 17: And if I may say, just one other thing, John,
- 2:34:12Speaker 17: on this day, because I know how patriotic you are,
- 2:34:16Speaker 17: this is the day, Memorial Day that we remember all
- 2:34:19Speaker 17: those service men and women in uniform that have made
- 2:34:22Speaker 17: the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation's freedoms. It
- 2:34:26Speaker 17: is a very stark reminder that the price of freedom
- 2:34:30Speaker 17: is not for free, and we owe a huge deta
- 2:34:33Speaker 17: gratitude to the half of the one percent that one
- 2:34:36Speaker 17: our nation asks.
- 2:34:37Speaker 12: Who shall we send and who will go for us?
- 2:34:39Speaker 12: It's always these extraordinary men and women who raise their
- 2:34:43Speaker 12: hand to protect this nation's freedoms.
- 2:34:47Speaker 3: Bruce Mosler, I believe you in and you are one
- 2:34:52Speaker 3: hundred percent right, and you were at that breakfast with
- 2:34:55Speaker 3: us with Bruce Blakeman on last Saturday morning, and and
- 2:35:03Speaker 3: we all believe in in New York. We all believe
- 2:35:06Speaker 3: in America. We all believe in protecting America. And thank
- 2:35:10Speaker 3: you for everything you do for for the military, the police. Uh,
- 2:35:15Speaker 3: you're co chairman of the Intrepid Museum. Uh, and uh,
- 2:35:21Speaker 3: thank you for everything you do for America.
- 2:35:25Speaker 17: Don The feeling is mutual.
- 2:35:29Speaker 12: We are grateful for all that you do and your
- 2:35:32Speaker 12: family does, Margo.
- 2:35:33Speaker 17: And John Junior and Andre and the whole, the whole family,
- 2:35:36Speaker 17: the whole Katsabatini family, for everything that you do for
- 2:35:39Speaker 17: this nation, this country, and this city.
- 2:35:42Speaker 3: Well, thank you, and let's catch up again real soon,
- 2:35:44Speaker 3: and God bless America.
- 2:35:47Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 2:35:51Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
- 2:35:56Speaker 8: Uh.
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in.
- 2:35:59Speaker 1: The Morning entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 2:36:06Speaker 3: All Right, Miller, tell us what the heck is going on?
- 2:36:09Speaker 6: In one moment.
- 2:36:12Speaker 3: I know, Oh what happened? San Miller on, Yes, he's
- 2:36:19Speaker 3: on all right.
- 2:36:19Speaker 6: I mean I think that song.
- 2:36:21Speaker 3: They played that song for you. But tell us, tell us, uh,
- 2:36:25Speaker 3: what's going on in real estate in the You know,
- 2:36:28Speaker 3: Bruce Moser told us about the commercial markets, you tell
- 2:36:30Speaker 3: us about the residential markets.
- 2:36:32Speaker 16: Well, I really want to talk about, John, is all
- 2:36:35Speaker 16: these new proposals that suggest that outside capital is not
- 2:36:40Speaker 16: welcome in New York. I have to tell you, John,
- 2:36:43Speaker 16: I don't think the cash one's going to pass. The
- 2:36:45Speaker 16: Pierre to tear one will. But if you're a foreigner,
- 2:36:49Speaker 16: and last year, eighteen thousand apartments were purchased transactions closed,
- 2:36:53Speaker 16: of sixty percent were all cash. So now we're talking
- 2:36:56Speaker 16: about we don't want cash buyers in New York. We
- 2:36:59Speaker 16: don't want foreigners in New York. You can't even get
- 2:37:01Speaker 16: a mortgage if you're a foreigner. The most you could
- 2:37:04Speaker 16: you can get his fifty percent. So this is a
- 2:37:06Speaker 16: direct attack on people that want to be in New York,
- 2:37:09Speaker 16: that want to invest in our great city, and we're
- 2:37:12Speaker 16: saying you're not welcome. I think this is going to
- 2:37:15Speaker 16: be extremely harmful. I think that people are going to sell.
- 2:37:18Speaker 16: I'm already getting phone calls. My entire business is purchased
- 2:37:22Speaker 16: by investors that want to be and love this city.
- 2:37:25Speaker 16: Why are we telling them that we're going to charm
- 2:37:27Speaker 16: you to be here. No, I kind of understand the
- 2:37:30Speaker 16: transaction of the recording to when you buy an apartment
- 2:37:34Speaker 16: in New York and you do get a mortgage, you
- 2:37:36Speaker 16: have to pay about two percent for a mortgage recording tax.
- 2:37:40Speaker 16: Now he's trying to say that, Okay, we understand we're
- 2:37:42Speaker 16: losing that money, so we'll put a penalty of one percent.
- 2:37:46Speaker 16: Maybe I could see that, But he's going to discourage
- 2:37:50Speaker 16: anybody that wants to be in New York because the
- 2:37:52Speaker 16: Pieta tear tax, and John, you and I have talked
- 2:37:55Speaker 16: about this in length, is going to and that's an
- 2:37:57Speaker 16: annual tax that's going to completely discouraged foreigners from coming here.
- 2:38:02Speaker 16: I'm getting phone calls already about it.
- 2:38:04Speaker 13: I think that it's like a fire on a bridge.
- 2:38:07Speaker 16: It's small right now. The market is still doing very
- 2:38:10Speaker 16: well because we have a vacancy issue. There's not a
- 2:38:12Speaker 16: lot of apartments right now. You can see a lot
- 2:38:15Speaker 16: of cranes, there's not a lot of new construction on
- 2:38:17Speaker 16: the residential side. So we do see that the rents
- 2:38:20Speaker 16: are very high and the sales prices have still been stable.
- 2:38:24Speaker 16: But I think this is going to be very bad
- 2:38:26Speaker 16: to the business. And I don't I think this is
- 2:38:29Speaker 16: a nail on the coffin and it concerns me very much.
- 2:38:33Speaker 3: Well, it's gonna hurt. And let me tell you something.
- 2:38:40Speaker 3: I think that November election. You know, I tried to
- 2:38:43Speaker 3: be fair and square to everybody, but that November election,
- 2:38:48Speaker 3: if it hurts business, I mean that congestion tax SYS
- 2:38:52Speaker 3: is in. If I drive up and down Third Avenue,
- 2:38:55Speaker 3: Second Avenue, First Avenue, Madison Avenue, like empty stares.
- 2:39:04Speaker 9: John.
- 2:39:04Speaker 16: The biggest thing I don't think people were like how
- 2:39:07Speaker 16: much New York has been the home and the love
- 2:39:11Speaker 16: of people from Italy, from China, from Israel, from all
- 2:39:15Speaker 16: these They love New York. It was their dream to
- 2:39:18Speaker 16: buy apartment in New York. We're gonna have a place
- 2:39:19Speaker 16: in New York, a place in London, a place in Paris.
- 2:39:22Speaker 16: Now they don't want to be in New York. This
- 2:39:24Speaker 16: is gonna come crashing down. It seems to me it's
- 2:39:27Speaker 16: almost intentional. We need to stop this. We need to
- 2:39:31Speaker 16: stop between the anti Semitism and the attack on the
- 2:39:34Speaker 16: landlords or people, the investors. I want to say, not landlords, investors.
- 2:39:38Speaker 16: Why do we want to discurse them. We want to
- 2:39:41Speaker 16: welcome them. We want to say, come here, spend money.
- 2:39:43Speaker 16: We want your sales tax. We want you to spend
- 2:39:46Speaker 16: money on ubers, on restaurants. We need these people for
- 2:39:50Speaker 16: every job, for every I think the numbers are for
- 2:39:53Speaker 16: every one hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the salary,
- 2:39:55Speaker 16: we lose seven jobs.
- 2:39:57Speaker 12: That's the mass.
- 2:39:58Speaker 16: You lose the restaurants and lose the Tessalon.
- 2:40:00Speaker 12: We don't want to.
- 2:40:01Speaker 16: Lose these people. We want to welcome them. So, John,

- 2:42:11Speaker 7: that they got to see Aaron Judge win it with
- 2:42:13Speaker 7: the late home run, but sitting through a cold baseball
- 2:42:15Speaker 7: game is the worst, absolute worst.
