  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York The Mark Simone
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Show on seven tenor.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: May.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: We got a lot to get to today, Well, and
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: it's another cold date. It's a little better today, you know,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's complaining some cold. Yesterday so cold. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: think I'm gonna take up smoking because I've noticed that
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: if if you smoke, they don't even feel the cold.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: It could be ten below zero. As you can walk
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: towards this building, the smokers are all up front smoking.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: You know, they all sneak out they have a cigarette.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Could be fifty below zero, ten feet they're still out
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: there on the sidewalk smoking. So what's today, Wednesday? When
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: we're almost through this week, we got a lot to
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: get to. We'll get to the Somali community and the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: billions missing in Minnesota. We'll get to affordability, We'll get
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: to that crazy brad Lander, and we'll get to you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: congestion Pricing is now celebrating it's one year anniversary. It's
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: coming up on one year. The yelling and screaming about
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: it has died down a bit. I guess people just
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: starting to accept it. It's probably going to be here forever.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It doesn't go away. You know, it's like when they
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: raise the symptimes, they don't raise your maintenance or your
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: property text. It's what they call an assessment to fund something.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: A little assessment while we need it never goes away.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: These things never ever go away. President Trump went to
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Pennsylvania last night for the rally. He's been in the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: White House now for about eleven months, and a lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: of times they start to do these things for two reasons. One,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you're not getting your message across because the media is
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: so corrupt, and they've focus grouped prices, and that's how
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: they came up with the word affordability. It tested the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: best in focus groups, so Democrats used it successfully in
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the elections in November, and the media just goes crazy
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: attacking Trump on affordability. It's all a bit of a
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: hoax because the fact is in the eleven months that
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: he's been there, prices have come down quite a bit.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Inflation has been cut in half, which is pretty good
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: in ten months. He always said it would take a year,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: year and a half to get it down. Now, remember
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the big beautiful bill that he passed with all the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: tax cuts, all that stuff has not taken effect yet,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: although they got it passed this year. It doesn't kick
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in until January, so you'll see a huge change in January.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Everybody will be getting more money in their paychecks in
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: January because the bill will begin January first. The tax
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: cuts now again, prices are already down. Inflation hit nine
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: percent at one time under Biden. The average under Biden
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: was five percent. It's now two and a half, so
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: he's cut inflation in half. Already. Food prices are down.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They'll point to a couple of things, like beef prices.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: What about beef, that's the reason for the beef prices
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: being way up. You can thank Joe Biden and the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Democrats for that. I don't know if you remember, but
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: about two years ago they started this war on cows,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: claiming that cows caused climate change. I forget how they
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: came up with that or how they explained it, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: they went after the cattle industry in the Green Scheme,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and as a result, the cattle industry had to cut
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: back the size of herds and all that stuff. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: there are less cattle, less cows, less beef. Now they
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: have to get that back. It's just like with oil,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: where they cut back drilling. There was less oil out
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: there and made the price go up. And the same
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: thing with cattle. We got a lot less cattle than
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: we usually have. So Trump administration has changed all that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: It'll take again, it takes more than a few months.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: It's going to take a year to get the cattle
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: herds back up to where they were, and that brings
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: down the price. So it was in Pennsylvania to do
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the rally to get the message out about afford But
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: wages are up since he took office. Wages are up,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: prices are down. You got to get that across, although
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it's tough because fake news will just keep yelling that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: there's a terrible affordability crisis. It really isn't. It's a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: lot better. I mean, if you call this an affordability crisis,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: what did you call two years ago when it was
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: five times worse. So now the other reason you do
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the rallies is a president who's a great speaker, great performer.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: When he gets elected. Now he goes into the White
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: House and he's in the White House and that's it,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and he speaks. It's in a room with a podium
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to people he knows. And after a while you start
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to get well it's like your caged animal. You need
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to get out there. They saw this with Reagan and
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: they realized they had to get him out there. Let him,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: give him a big audience, give him thousands of people
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: out there, Let him do rallies, let him do speeches.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: It's like a great actor, performer, comedian, singer. You gotta
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: let him go out on stage. You gotta let him
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: get out there. So they started to do these rallies
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: for Reagan for no reason, just because he needed it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: He needed the energy from the crowds, needed to get
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: out of the White House, get back in touch with
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the people. So every couple of weeks they set up
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: something for Reagan, usually close by so he could get
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: there fast and get home fast. And then not California, nearby, Maryland, Pennsylvania.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So they need to do this with Trump. He needs
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: to get out there, get back on stage, get back
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: to performing for audiences. So you'll see more of these.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: He did an hour and a half last night. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: know the fake news will tell you he's got no energy,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: can't stay awake. He did an hour and a half,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: a lot longer than he's supposed to do. He was
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: kind of all over the map, so he didn't. You know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: always say you got to stay on message, and well,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Trump's not going to do that. The coverage of it,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: of course, is bad because that's the way they do things.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: He talked about affordability, He talked in great detail about
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: what he would do about it, and a couple of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: times he made some jokes. So if you're watching the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: fake news, all they would say is he ridiculed affordability.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: He made fun of the problem of affordability. Was totally
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: inaccurate portrayal of what happened. So you'll see more of
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: these rallies. Hey, yesterday had some special elections. The interesting
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: one was Miami mayoral election. Special election had a runoff.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: The Democrat won. Now that's unusual. Usually it's a Republican
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in Miami. It's the first time a Democrat has one
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: in thirty years in Miami. So if you're watching the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: fake news, they'll tell you this is a bad sign
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: for the midterms. This is a bad barometer what's going
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to happen in the midterms. The fact that the Democrat
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: won in Miami, of all places where Democrats never win,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: this is a bad sign for a Well, I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: you got to look at more detail at this race,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: nobody showed up to vote. There was no turnout. The
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: total votes thirty six thousand, which is unheard of. That's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: incredibly low. So nobody showed up to vote. That's how
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the Democrat got in. Now, as we've talked about here
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: in New York, they got the same problem in Miami.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: There really is not much of a Republican party machine.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: One thing about the Democrats. They have a strong party
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: with infrastructure, lots of bodies and what they call the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: ground game, which is crucial. Boots on the ground that
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: get turnout, get people out to the polls. You know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: door knockers, people working phone banks, people you know, knocking
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: on doors. You need this kind of stuff. Democrats have
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: that same thing we have in New York. Same problem
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: in Miami. Republicans nothing public party is there, three people,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: part time nothing. Democrats have a massive amount of people
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: on the ground to get turnout. So it was a
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: tiny little turnout and Democrats once said, don't take it
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: as much of a sign of anything. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: last Night special guest David Letterman is returned to late
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: night TV, and he looked like the old Letterman with
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the suits and the tie and those shiny socks and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the loafers, and but still with the white beard. You know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: if you're a kid watching Jimmy Kimmel, you know, you
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: wouldn't know who Letterman is. And with that beard, you
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: must have thought this is Santa Claus or something coming up.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Although if you're a kid, you're not going to be
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: watching Jimmy Kimmel. These late night shows. Average age of
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the viewers is sixty three years old on the late
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: night shows now most of them just talk about politics
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: these late night shows. Instead of fun stuff. It's all
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: political and when you do that, you get a much
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: older audience. Average age of msnbcviewer I think is sixty
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: seven now. But Letterman on Kimmel, you know, he was
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: very big in late night TV on CBS, in fact,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: beating Jane Leno at times. But then about halfway through
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: his run on CBS, Letterman started to get political and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it was pretty obvious he was a very left wing guy,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: so he lost half his audience. If you remember, he
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: was doing very well on CBS against the Tonight Show,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: and then as he got political and went far to
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the left, he started to lose audience, and it went
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: way down and started dropping and dropped almost in half
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: after a couple of years. So that was the end,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: and that's when New it was time to go, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: CBS started looking around. But they made the mistake of
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: going with another left wing guy. You want a guy
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: in the middle. You know, if you kind of make
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: fun of everybody, you can do very well, as Greg
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Guttfeldt proved by getting bit. He has more viewers than Kimmel,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Fallon and Colbert combined every night. He's the king of
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: late night now. So but the point is, Letterman came
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: out and he went really crazy with the Trump derangement syndrome.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I mean really going after Trump with a hysterical, hyperbolic,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: vicious attacks on him. Now, the other thing he did
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: he came out and congratulate Jimmy Kimmel. He said, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: have just been re signed. You know, they tried to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: throw you off the air, they tried to get rid
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: of you. They're pushing together, can get you fired. Yet
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: you just signed. You signed a big new contract. And
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: the audience cheered and went crazy for this big new contract. Well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: they're totally conning the audience. Kimmel did not get a
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: big new contract, and he fact, he got the most
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: insulting contract literally in the history of late night TV.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Every contract to re sign your late night host, it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: always five years, always five years. In case of a big,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: big name like a Carson or in Oprah, it'd be
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: a ten year contract. Kimmel was re signed to a
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: one year extension, which is the worst insult. That's when
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: you really don't like somebody or you really don't think
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you're gonna keep a one year extension. They tried to
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: do that to Carson in ninety one, and that's the
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: reason he left. That's where he made the decision it
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: was time to go and quit because he realized what
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: an insult that is. So Kimmel has not been resigned
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: to a big new contract. The reason they'll only do
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: a one year extension. This is the way they're not
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: stuck with you, and if they have to fire you tomorrow,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: they don't have to pay out very much. They do
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: only have to pay out for eleven months or ten months,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: which they would do anyway. So it's basically not even
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: really a renewal, huge insult to Kimmel. Letterman knows that
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and was just totally conning the audience with his nonsense. So, hey,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Brad Lander, you know that is he was the controller,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: a real left wing cook. He's no longer the controller.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: His term is up and he's going to run for Congress.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: He's trying to win Dan Goldman's seat.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Now, this.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Doesn't make any difference to anybody. Dan Goldman also a
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: far left cook. So if it's Lander Goldman, who cares.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: But Lander is trying to run on something. Accomplishments. He
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: tries to in this commercial list his accomplishments. He doesn't
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: have any. So what could he possibly come up with. Well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: he mentioned the fact that he got arrested fighting ice.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: That's the accomplishment. Remember there was an ice proceeding going
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: on in the courtroom and Lander tried to burst in
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: and they told him he can't come in right now,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and he didn't listen, and he came in and they
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: had to arrest him and take him out. He was
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: being disorderly. He was totally guilty of disorderly conduct. Governor
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Hokeel was called and ran right down to the courthouse
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: and got him released in her custody. But he's just
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a clown, just a silly guy, far left guy. He
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: is one of the reasons we have Mom Donnie as mayor.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: He worked hard to get Mom Donnie elected. You remember,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: there was a primary and Lander was running against Mam Donnie.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But then at some point he decided to join the
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie team. They got together, they pulled their voters,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: he endorsed Mom donn. He got him through that primary,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: and so they were very close. There were teammates on
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: this whole thing. And then something went wrong there and
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie cut off Lander. After all this happened, you
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: figured Brad Lander bei a big part of the administration.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: They had some kind of breakup, some kind of fight,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and Mom Donnie cut Lander off completely. So apparently Lander
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: too represhensible even for Mom Donnie, so he was cut off.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Now he's running for this seat. He's a big blowhard showboat.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: He's like a George Santos, kind of one stunt after another,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: trying to get publicity. Problem mcdan goldman. Besides being a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: far left kook, he's kind of a quiet guy. I
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: don't think he can compete with all the stunts. So
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: who knows. Lander may have a shot against him. You know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the most fascinating thing is Minnesota, the Somali community where
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: this fraud took place. Whenever, whenever Democratic leaders start yelling
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: about programs for the homeless, money seems to disappear. You know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the great thing about the green scheme, the climate change,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: it was billions in contracts to hand out billions. So
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: that's why Democrats love that climate change green scheme stuff.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: That's what it's called the Green steam scheme. You give
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: out massive contracts to companies in exchange for huge donations
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: and whatever you needed.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Well, a lot of.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Democrats, especially locally mayors and those sorts, I've realized the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: homeless scheme is much better. The problem with the Green
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: scheme when you give out a contract, it's to a
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: company in Colorado that makes windmills or something, and they
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: found with the homeless, the money doesn't leave the community.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: You're still giving out massive contracts, but you're given them
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: out right in your neighborhood to people you know. So
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the money comes back to you in a lot more
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: ways and a lot faster. So you remember, Build de
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Blasio and his wife set up this crazy program when
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: he was mayor called Thrive NYC. And it was helped
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the homeless. And if you actually asked him, well, what
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: exactly show me the program. Well, it's yoga for homeless.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Yoga for homeless. Literally, that was one of the programs.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: So a billion dollars was handed out. After it was
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: all over, everybody looked for the money or what happened,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: and they couldn't They couldn't find it. Even the missus
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Deblasio and the husband admitted they don't know where the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: money went. They can't find it, they can't keep track
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: of it. Well, you got Minneapolis, you got the Somali
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: leaders as elon Omars, these types they set up the
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: same thing. Programs are the homeless. And if you were
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: running a homeless type program, they would give you money
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: out of all these funds, government funds, taxpayer funds, federal funds.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And they started passing out money and it's all gone.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Nobody can find it. And it looks like first a billion,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: then they said it's probably two billion. Now they think
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it might be as much as eight billion has been
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: stolen from taxpayers has disappeared into this homeless scheme. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: this is one of the great great scandals of the
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: news media. Fake news. You'll notice you're not seeing any
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: coverage of this. If we had legitimate actual media, if CBSABC,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: NBC were legitimate, they'd be all over this. They would
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: dispatch a whole team of reporters, go to Minneapolis, don't
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: leave until you found out what happened, get to the
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: bottom of this. The New York Times, the Washington Post.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: They'd be sending reporters. There's no coverage, no mention of it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: They don't want you to know about it. So this
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: is what democrats do. Now, they've got these homeless schemes
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: where you get to hand out money left and right. Now,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie gets elected, what's he talking about setting up
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: a homeless program, setting up a massive program to handout
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: massive contracts on the So we had imagined it's the
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: same exact scheme, and that's what will happen here. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: we've already got some good homeless programs. He's canceling them
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: because they basically don't hand out massive contracts to anybody.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: So it's going to be interesting to see what happens now,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie takes over. I know you're hearing everybody's fleeing,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: everybody's leaving New York with this not true. I'm sure
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: you can find somebody that's leaving New York. But the
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: best thing to do is look at real estate sales.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: As far as apartments condos, sales are up up dramatically
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: in the last month. Now, sometimes that always happens year end,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: but you had eight hundred and seventy six contracts signed
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the last month. It'll take the super high end, very expensive,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: multi zillion dollar apartments. You had nine contracts signed last week.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: That's a lot.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And the better thing check the rental market. That's people
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: coming in. Rentals in New York City are through the roof.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: In fact, right now, it's very tough to rent an
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: apartment because rentals are going crazy, so people are moving
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: in despite Mom.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Donnie.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we've got a lot to get to. We'll take
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: some calls in a moment. Eight hundred three to two
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: two one zero seven ten.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Mark Simone show on wr.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Hey, Let's take some calls.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven Tennis, Peter,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Peter and Harlem. He's always angry about something, Peter, what's
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: going on?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I'm not angry.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: They're always angry about something.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Wait, let me say somethingience Number One, you didn't tell
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: the audience are two questions are a hang up, you
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: didn't tell the audience who's written those expensive apartments and
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: the fact that they might even be red Chinese or
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: our enemy. Secondly, well, we got to go.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Super super luxury apartments in New York very often are
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of Chinese people, a lot of Arab you
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: know people, a lot of the Middle Eastern people, a
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: lot of Russians. One of the reasons is, especially China
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: and those places, they don't trust their own government, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: they got to park money somewhere just in case they
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: have to flee, so they'll buy like a one hundred
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: million dollar apartment in New York. That way, they got
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: an asset. It's there. You know, if they have to
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: leave China, they can sell it. And you know, they
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: bought up all the apartments in New York that way,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: and then they ran the apartments to buy. That's one
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: reason you cannot buy a rolex right now. If the
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: certain watches Paddock Philippe and the rolex, there's like a
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: three year waiting list because a lot of the same
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: people they had to park their assets somewhere, so they
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: start buying up every watch in the world too. That's
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: why there's a massive waiting list. Let's go to Phyllis
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: in Brooklyn, Phillis. How you doing all right?
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: Good morning. I was just wondering conversation you had with
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Saudius today. You know about the documentary this scen your
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Enterprises was preparing. I believe you were part of it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Now, Oh, you're talking about it's actually Fox News or
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Fox Nation. It's a big, massive Sinatra documentary. They interviewed
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: everybody in the world. Yeah, I'm on it too. Have
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: you seen it? Do you know where it is?
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: No?
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: That's why I'm calling.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I remember when I did it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I said once it's coming out, and they said in
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the fall, I don't think it's out yet, but it's coming.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: Soon and it will be out again.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It's not out yet, it's coming out, but it's a
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: These guys that did this documentary, they were younger guys,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: but they really knew what they were doing. And I
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: know they went to Patsy's and interviewed everybody there, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: they interviewed me for like three hours, and they were
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I was telling them everybody who would know everything about
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Sinatra's given them all the names to interview. Every time
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I mentioned anybody that we already did them. We already
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: did them. We just got done. So they interviewed everybody.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: They were very thorough. Big Sinatra documentary. I don't know
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: if it's Fox News or Fox Nation, but it'll be
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: coming out soon. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: how you doing.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: That's not your thing.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Should be great. You know.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: Thomas Saul, the famous economists, once said affordable housing is
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: housing you can afford. And it sounds kind of flippant,
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: but that's the truth. I mean, nobody could afford to
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: live in Manhattan.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: You know, or any big city.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: It's expensive to live there. And I think it's great
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: that the president is out making his case, but where
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: are the other Republicans? You know, where are those months?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Why aren't they speaking up?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I mean Trump speaks every day to.
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: The media and makes his case every day for hours
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: on end, you.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Know, every every new you know.
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: Every every day, see another news conference from the from
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: the office there, and you know, where are the other
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: Republicans out there?
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Well, it's Trump is right about the hoax. He doesn't
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: explain it that well. But the whole thing is especially
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: affordable housing. You know, there's places where you're not gonna
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: have affordable housing because they're very well the areas, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: you can yell and scream. You know, if you went
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: to Southampton, right on the water on what's that lane there, whatever, lane,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: metal lane, further lane, whatever it is right on the
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: water in Southampton, every house is like eighty million dollars.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: You could stand there and say why isn't there affordable
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: housing because it's not.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Supposed to be.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: If you go to the next town up, if you
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: go to Riverhead, there's plenty of affordable housing. It just
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: there's very, very very expensive neighborhoods. There's very poor neighborhoods,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and there's everything in between. Speaking of the Hampton, there's
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: an affordable housing crisis fight out. I'll tell you about
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: this the next start. It's a good illustration.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: But if you go to.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Long Island, you go anywhere in Long Island, you go
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: to Garden City, it's expensive. They don't have any affordable housing,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: but they don't need to because you go ten blocks
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: that way, you're in Hampstead and there's plenty of affordable housing.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to have affordable housing everywhere. It's okay
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: to have a wealthy neighborhood, a middle class neighborhood, a
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: poorer neighbor It happens. So we'll get into this in
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: the next hour when we come back. Our old buddy,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Monica Crowley, now the Chief Protocol Officer of the United States.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to her next on seven to ten w R.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Mister New York. He's on the case the mar Simon Show. Seven.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Well, Hey, we knew her when she was just Monica Crowley.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: She is now the Chief of Protocol of the United
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: States of America. She is the Ambassador Monica Crowley, Madam Ambassador.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: How you doing.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: Hi, Good morning, Mark. I'm doing well, although I have
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: to say keeping up with President Trump is quite the project.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Oh I don't know.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: I was reading the New York Times. Apparently he's cognitive. Whatever,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: he's falling asleep. He can't find it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the propagandaize coming from the mainstream
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: media just never stop. It is the exact opposite. You know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: you would think that if they wanted to lie about
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: President Trump, and they have for the last eleven years
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: since he became a leader and a candidate and a president.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: But you would think that it would have like some
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: semblance of believability. This is like President Trump literally never sleeps.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: He is going around the clock. There is no such
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: thing as a day off, There is no such thing
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: as a weekend. It is NonStop with him. And it
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: is all geared to the American people, to bringing America back,
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: making America great again, getting our economy back on track,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: which is why he was back doing a rally in
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Pennsylvania yesterday. It is about securing peace around the world,
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: to make sure that conflicts around the world are minimized
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: and ended, which brings greater prosperity to their regions, to
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: the world, and to the United States. The man never stops.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: If they weren't so corrupt, it's a more fascinating story.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: They could be reporting that no president ever behaved like this.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Usually it's a press conference two weeks from Monday. Nobody's
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: ever had four hundred press conferences a day, or just
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: events around the clock. But and do you sometimes not
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: even know where you're going to be, what city. The
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: way he moves and keeps moving.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: It is nonsense. Every day I wake up, Mark, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: I'm like, Okay, what kind of adventure is going to
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: be coming out me today? And it really is an adventure.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Every day is a blessing. But I have to say
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: at the end of last week, I, in the space
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: of seventy two hours, Mark, I went from dealing with
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: the President of Rwanda to the president of FIFA and
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: FIFA legends to Jane Simmons of.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Kiss Yeah, tell us about it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: Really in seventy two hours, It's just extraordinary.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, tell us about the Kennedy Center. It looked really great.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: That's Sunday night ceremony.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely amazing. So on Thursday last week, the President
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: presided over Peacedale between the presidents of Rwanda and the
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Congo and that conflict has been going on for thirty
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: five years, so he brokeer that peace deal and we
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: did that, and then on Friday at the Kennedy Center,
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: we hosted FIFA for the twenty twenty sixth final draw
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: for the World Cup next year, which President Trump heroically
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: brought to the United States back in his first term.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: So we did that on Friday, and then all weekend
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: we celebrated at the Kennedy Center for the Kennedy Center Honors,
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: which was taped on Sunday, and it's going to air,
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: I believe, on December twenty third on CBS, so the
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: rest of the country will get to see what we
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: saw live on Sunday night. And it was just magical.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: We had so many acts that are just purely American
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: CONTs like George Street and Kiss and Gloria Gaynor, Sylvester Stallone.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: It was just absolutely magical to see all of these
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: phenomenal acts get their due. Michael Crawford of course, get
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: their due with tributes and then tribute performances. So I
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: encourage everybody to watch on December twenty third on CBS
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: because you will love the show. But really, Mark, that's
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: another project that President Trump has taken under and turned around.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: He has saved the Kennedy Center, which is one of
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: America's great cultural institutions. He has saved it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, a lot of stuff is going on.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: People don't realize. Apparently the infrastructure was crumbling at the
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Kennedy Center. He had to fix that. He's fixed up
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: every inch of the White House, the entrance, the this,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the that, not to mention the ballroom and all that.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: But the boy.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: He doesn't get any credit for that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: He really, no, he doesn't, but I'll tell you he will.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: He will because he really believes said our capital city, Washington,
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: d C. Should be a sparkling gem. And that is
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: why he is moving on all fronts to turn our
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: capital city into that shining city on a hill that
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Ronald Reagan talked about when he talked about America. But
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: President Trump really believes that the entire country will follow
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: suit if our capital is cleaned up and made safe.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: And that's why we have the National Guard on the streets.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: And we had that horror happened right around Thanksgiving where
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: we had two National guardsmen shot and one unfortunately passed away.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: One is struggling for his life still. But he has
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: actually ratcheted up the National Guard present since that horrific shooting. Washington,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: d C. Now is incredibly safe, much safe for them
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: where you were now sparkling and it does extend who
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: are institutions as well, like the Kennedy Center. He has
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: done all of that while turning the US economy around,
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: while brokering peace deals around the world. Again, the man
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: never stops for good.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, Now, Monica Crowley as chief of protocol. All the
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: world leaders come to the White House, they first meet
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: with you, and we see you greet them, and you're
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: sitting with them and you're talking with them. What do
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: you notice they all have in common, all the different
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: world leaders, as far.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: As that's a really yeah, that's a really interesting question. Mark,
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: thank you. Yes, I mean my office and I've got
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: an absolutely phenomenal team. I cannot do any of this
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: without them. They are just incredible. And what we do
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: is manage the diplomatic engagements for the President, the Vice President,
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: and the Secretary of State. So I am I am
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: obviously hooked to the President and these world leaders. And
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: I have to say that most of them, not all,
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: but the vast majority of these world leaders. First of all,
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: they when they come in, they all have a sense
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: of awe of the President and the White House in America.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: They all understand where they are and even if they're
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: meeting with the president elsewhere, like President Putin of Russia
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: met with President Trump in Alaska, so not in the
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: White House, but there is a fundamental understanding that they
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: are dealing with the world's superpower. And President Trump is
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: one of the few presidents in recent history to understand
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: the importance of American leverage and knows how to use it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: He knows he's sitting atop the world's superpower militarily, economically, diplomatically, politically, culturally,
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: and he leverages it, and he knows how to leverage it.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: This is why, you know, coming out of his business
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: background is so invaluable. But these were leaders understand, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: I would say almost all of them have said to
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: me and to others, you know, even if we disagree
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: with President Trump on policy, even if we have serious
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: policy differences with the administration with the United States, we
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: all appreciate a strong American president. They all appreciate that
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: he is strong and that he tells them the truth. Now,
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: they may not like the truth, they may not like
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: what they're hearing from him, they may disagree right, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: they may want to counter it, but they all understand
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: that having a strong American hand in the White House,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: sitting atop the country, they know exactly where they stand.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: They don't have to waste time guessing what does the
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: president believe, where's American policy going. They know exactly where
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: they stand, and then they can operate from there. And
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: they all appreciate that more.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Than you know.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Wow, well, hey, we only got about thirty seconds left.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: You got the most important, glamorous job. But tell the truth,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: you miss us, You miss New York. You miss the
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: radio and TV, don't you.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: I am so blessed to be in this job, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: I thank God every day, and I thank the President
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: for having the confidence in me to do this job.
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: It is incredibly important and I'm just so grateful. But
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: I am a New Yorker. So while I'm in DC
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: doing this job, while President Trump is in office, as
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: long as they will have me, I am still a
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: New York girl. And I pray and hope that we
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: will survive the Mondommie years, and that he will he
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: will moderate, because you know, New York City is the
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: capitalist gem, the cultural gem of this country, and it
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: cannot go the way of a San Francisco or a

• 34:05
  Speaker 3: news with another hour to go on seven to ten wr.
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: Mark Somemo the issues you really care about on seven
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: ten wor.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a little better today, it's not quite as
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: cold as yesterday. We got a lot to get to
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: this hour, the affordability crisis, we got Mom Donnie to
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: talk about, and Christmas and a whole lot of stuff.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: When you're in the supermarket more and more, have you
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: started using the self checkout or you still? It depends
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: if your cashiers. They always have like seven lanes and
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: only three cashiers. And I've never seen have you ever
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: been in the supermarket? We're every single aisle, every single
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: lane has a cashier and it never ever, ever, why
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: do they do? Like when you go to the bank,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: they have twelve windows. There's always two tellers. Why did
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: they build twelve windows. There's never been twelve tellers working
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: at the same time ever in a bank. So when
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: you go to the self checkout, it's pretty easy unless
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: you got stuff that's got to be weighed, and then
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: it gets a little tough. Now, be honest, did you
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: ever steal anything at the self checkout? You know, you
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: don't have to run every single item right by that scanner.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: You run one or two. You got your bag set up,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: you're throwing them in the bag, be totally honest. Did
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: you ever maybe one item you didn't ring up or
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: two or thin? Well, it happens a lot. There's a
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: couple of chains that got rid of self checkout because
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: of that exact problem. They were losing too much to theft.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Now there's been a study done about this apparently, Now
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: who would steal like that from the self checkout? Wealthy
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Americans apparently are stealing much more from self served checkouts
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: than anybody else. A sizable forty percent forty of wealthy
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Americans have admitted to not scanning an item in a store. Now,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: sometimes you try to scan it, it doesn't scan, or
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: sometimes it's bananas or something. You got to weigh it,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: and the damna know you know, know how to you
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: just throw it in the bag. If you break it down.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: By sex, men steal far more than women do, almost
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: more than double the rate. Well okay, I mean, it's
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: pretty obvious men do more bad things than women do. Generally,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: many of those surveys said they feel justified in stealing
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: some minor items. Thirty percent say the store is too
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: large and profitable. They don't feel the petty theft will
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: do anything to them. Thirty five percent. So they feel
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that having to scan the items in self checkout is
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: unpaid labor, and this is compensation for it.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: It's kind of true.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Remember Amazon opened those stores. They had one in time
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Warner's Center, they had one near Grandson. Remember Amazon tried
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: doing stores, these little stores where you could walk in,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: grab a little shopping cart thing and take whatever you
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: want and leave because each item had some little tag
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: on it that as you walked out, the door would
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: click and it would build your Amazon account automatically. Now
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: whatever happened to that? Why can't I guess it's tougher
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: for a supermarket to do it, But that's the best
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: system Amazon tried that. I noticed those stores are all
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: gone now, but it was a great idea walk in,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: grab whatever you want. Everything's got a little tag that
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: like a little Bluetooth tag on it. It'll when you
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: walk out, you go through a scanner, it'll see exactly
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: what you took and charge you for It makes perfect sense.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Luigi Mangioni, The hearing's going on, and I keep reading
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: all these things about how good looking he is. Do
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: you find him really good looking? Luigi Mangioni, There is
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: something about him women like I don't know, they like
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: his eyes, they like as this, I don't know, they
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: like those big enormous eyebrows whatever, and a good looking
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he kind of look. If you're making
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: a movie about Lenny Bruce, I could see hiring him
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: to play Lenny Bruce. He kind of has that look
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: about him. But Lenny Bruce was like a good looking guy,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: but kind of ratty looking, a little scruffy looking. So
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But there's more and more of this
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: where on the left they just idolize any kind of criminal.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: You could be an illegal alien, you could be a
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: narco terrorist moving drugs. You could even be an assassin.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: To hear a criminal, The left loves you. They're out
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: there fighting for you. And even these candidates Brad Lander
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: talking about fighting for immigrants, they're not immigrants. They're illegals.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: They're illegals that broke into the country. There's nothing more
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: insulting to immigrants than putting illegal, well illegals across the
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: border illegally into the same category with them. It's just
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: a awful awful thing to do, but it's happening more
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: and more.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: So.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: There's also a movement right now to get rid of you.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: No more cell phones in the classroom. Kid comes to school,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: got to lock up his cell phones for the day.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: When he leaves, he gets it back. But now there's
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: more and more of a movement to take it away
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: from kids in general, like no more cell phones, no
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: more social media for a kid. And this is both
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: sides of the aisle. Republicans talking about it, Democrats talking
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: about it. You may have seen the ram Emmanuel I
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: don't know why he thinks this is a big issue
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: for him. He wants to run for president in twenty
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: twenty eight. All over the airwaves now talking about no
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: more social media for kids, keep it away from them.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Even Lara Trump on a show said they got three kids.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: They got one iPad for the kids, and they lock
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: it up most of the day. They want their kids
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: reading books. Well, okay, but this has gone on forever,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: this debate. You know, you got a kid now he's
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: spending too many hours looking at his phone, looking at
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: social media, looking at this. But it is the same
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: thing years ago when you were a kid, only it
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: was television, it wasn't social media. You know, your parents
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: would yell at you stop watching TV all day, Go
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: outside and play, go do your homework. Why you don't
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: just sit there and watch TV? And you might think
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: that's not as bad, but it was just as bad.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: What were you watching on TV? Nothing Worthwhile you're watching
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Gilligan's Island reruns, you're watching The Monsters every day. I mean,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: it wasn't anything great you were watching. You probably learn
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: more on TikTok than you did back then watching The
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Monsters every day and reruns or I'll leave it to
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Beaver was a show with some substance to it. So
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: there's more and more of this movement to get kids
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: to read books. But you kind of need the phone
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: to read a book, your kindle there to read it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: But I guess you could still read actual books now.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: But we'll see where this goes. So Tucker Carlson, people
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: keep asking about this. What the hell happened to him?
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: You know, Tucker Carlson was a pretty respectable, legitimate figure
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: when he was on Fox News. There he was discussing
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: issues with great American politicians. Now you see the guy
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: and he's like a raving maniac online and he's got
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: this anti semi creep weirdo on he's allowing this guy
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: to have his say on his show, and then what
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: was it earlier this week he's in cutter talking about
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: how he's moving there. Just one wacky thing after another,
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: and then you see a bunch of these people doing that,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Megan Kelly, all these people acting like wacko lunatics, and
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: what it is they've all been fired. They don't work
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: anywhere anymore. You know, if you're on the Fox News
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: channels's got millions of viewers, and if you do a
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: show that there, millions of people will see you. Now
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: if you get fired and you're doing a podcast out
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: of your bedroom and you're not on a network and
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: nobody sees you. So the only way what do you do?
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: How do you get attention? Well, you got to do
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: some crazy thing that goes viral, even if it's on
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: the left, left wing stuff, you know, the left wing
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: sites start attacking you like crazy. At least it gets
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: your attention and publicity. So that's why Megan Kelly became
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: a total wacko. Also Tucker Carlson, Now there's a few others.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like you remember Alex Jones, who you know,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: normal people didn't pay attention to him. But all the
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: rednecks and hillbilly's and wackos and all they love this
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Alex Jones and they went crazy with him. And he
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: made a fortune, made hundreds and hundreds of millions of
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: dollars to doing So that's Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, there's
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: a few others like that. They just have to act
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: totally nuts, outrageous. They're trying to become the new Alex Jones.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: You know, you would think Tucker would know better, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: apparently he would not know better than that. So now
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: here's Charlie Kirk was a different case. Now Here was
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: a guy who had a huge audience, didn't have to
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: do wacky things. He was preaching great stuff, and he
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: was preaching a lot of stuff you'd want somebody to
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: try to get across to younger people, you know, take
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: more interest in religion, go into church and read the Bible,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: and I mean, this is all fine stuff. But the
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: left wing went after him like crazy. It led to
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: his assassination. He apparently had written a book before he died,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: and his wife has now put out the book and
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: it's going around promoting it and it's riled up these
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: left wing nuts again. Here's a left wing podcaster, Jennifer Welch,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: And there's Trump derangement syndrome. There's Hagsith derangement syndrome. There's
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk derangement syndrome.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: Her.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Here's another one who went viral with this wacko stuff.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: It's about Charlie Kirk screaming and wildly unhinged rants. He's
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: a racist, he's an opportunistic grifter. The wife is a grifter.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: This woman should be kicked to the curb. She goes
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: just like Donald Trump, just like her unrepentant, racist, homophobic husband.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Is no truth to any of this. It's just lunacy.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: You saw Letterman doing the same thing last night when
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: he was on Jimmy Kimmel. Listen, we got a lot
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: of people we don't like, we don't like Mom Donnie.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: But I don't see anybody go nuts about him. It's
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: not derangement syndrome. And we just can't stand Mom Donnie.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: But if you listen to people, they'll say, you know,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: he's only thirty four, he's never even run anything, he's
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: never even had a job. Okay, well that's a legitimate argument.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: And things he said are anti semitic. He's been quite
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: anti semitic in some of the things. Yeah, okay, that's
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: a good seems to be very pro criminal. Yeah that's true.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: But we don't go on and on and on screaming
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: that he's a thief. There's no ranting and raving and not.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. Psychologists have studied this.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: It's and they say it's not just about Trump, it's
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: about other things in their life. They hate their father.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: It's daddy syndrome. I mean, if there's all these explanations
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: you can read online from psychologists, they're seeing things in
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Trump that set them off about other things in their life.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: They just get it's they get childlike, childish. You know,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: if you said, yeah, I really don't like that, mom, Donny,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: I don't like anything he's saying. I don't like what
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: he stands. Okay, that's fine. But if you start ranting
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: and raving and screaming about it's just childish. And you
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: look at these people doing it about Trump, it's just
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: out of control. It's just childlike. It's you know, it's
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: been going on for ten years now, and ten years
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: ago we thought, well, all right, it'll get better. After
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: a few it's this has gotten worse and worse and worse.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: It's never gonna stop. We're gonna have to live with
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: this disease for the rest of our life. Hey, Judge's
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: ordered the release of the Epstein case grand jury transcripts.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: So this is the other thing with the left. They
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: always think they got Trump. They got him now on something.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: This is a big deal. They've got him on this.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: They're going to Judge is ruled the grand jury transcripts
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: from the Epstein case have to be released now. Again,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: if you talk to people that have seen everything, they've
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: seen these grand jury things, they've seen the full Epstein files.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: You talk to people in the US Attorney's office that
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: saw them. If you talk to even Alan Dershwitz, who
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: was the attorney for Epstein and or Yeah, he was
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Epstein's attorney for a while, so he saw everything. People
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: have seen everything. Tell you there's absolutely nothing in any file,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: in any grand jury transcript, there's nothing anywhere in any
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: of these documents that would tell you anything you haven't
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: heard already. All the names that are in there, you've
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: already heard. Oh, there might be one or two little names,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: unknown people, but there's every major name that's in there.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: You've already heard about it if you talk to them, Well,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: what's in those Epstein faults. It's basically just witness transcripts
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: of witness interviews. Nothing to outrageous. But remember the same
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: thing with the MRI. They we're trying to get Trump's MRI.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: The Left went nuts trying to get that MRI. Well
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: they finally got it, and the same thing, Eh, it
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: was nothing. There one thing I like about Christmas all
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: these artists you get to hear. You know, obviously you
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: can walk around in the world today and hear Taylor
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Swift all the time and Dua Lipa, But how often
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: you get to hear Elvis nowadays? So every Christmas, if
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: you're in your teens or even in your twenties, every Christmas,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: who the hell is this guy? And then it's your
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: only exposure to Elvis? And then I don't know, maybe
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: I would think a lot of them. If you get
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: interested in the guy, Oh, this guy's pretty interesting. They
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: start googling him, youtubing him and start to hear his
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: other hits. Like if you're twenty six, you're never in
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: your life heard of this guy bing Crosby. Who the
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: hell is this guy? And they have no idea that
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: from like nineteen thirty to nineteen fifty, this guy was
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: the single most famous singer in the world. This guy
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: was the biggest figure in entertainment for like twenty five
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: years before Sinatra took over. This guy was the voice
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: of America for decades. Looking back on it, well, you
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: admit you were nuts listening to this Still you still
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: so you hear all these people now, you would never
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: hear nobody would ever hear Andy Williams today if it
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: wasn't for Christmas or Perry Como. I love Perry Como
• 48:36

• 50:38
  Speaker 4: How you doing.
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Mark Simone, how are you good?
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Hey, everybody in Florida listens to us. Will you admit
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: that's because you missed New York? You al wish you
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: were back here?
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: Oh God, I missed from New York. So the first
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: thing I do when I land, Man, we'll go to
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: the Wordia. I go right to the city and right
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: down a Lombardi's on Spring Street. Yeah, that's my favorite.
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: That's my favorite joint down there. Hey, two things, and
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: I haven't heard too much about the first thing. When
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: I ask him out affinity Devin Night. He had this
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: story about the Omar how she had like she was
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: worth sixty five thousand dollars two years ago and now
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: she's worth ten million dollars.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: God bless America.
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: Yes, God, bless America. And another question is how come
• 51:23
  Speaker 11: Donald never sits back in a chair. He always leans
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: forward and got his hands on his knees.
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: That's just because he's like a lion. He's like a tiger.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: He's like ready to pounce. He never sits back.
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: No, it's real, it's really that's the reason he never
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: sits back. He's ready to spring up and go into
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: action at any moment. You can learn a lot watching
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: that guy about how to be here.
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: I do.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, thanks for calling. Let's go to uh
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Joel also in Florida, Joel, how you doing.
• 51:53
  Speaker 13: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Joey, Florida. Okay, when I when
• 51:56
  Speaker 13: I was in college my undergraduate studies and take the
• 51:59
  Speaker 13: learning psycho sociology, Pressy used to tell us that many
• 52:03
  Speaker 13: people in their pre teens and teens used to look
• 52:06
  Speaker 13: at successful parents as being too authoritarian and they had
• 52:09
  Speaker 13: a resentment for that. Well, it seems that this is
• 52:12
  Speaker 13: what's causing the Trump's arrangement syndrome.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, actually a mother number of psychologists have come
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: on this show and have written that it's daddy issues,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: exactly what you're saying. That's one reason they absolutely, Hey, Trump,
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: not everybody has these issues, and that's why not everybody's
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: liked that. Let's go to Hey Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent,
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: how you doing.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark Marco? Okay, good morning Mara Mark. I'm
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: gonna say this every time they get on the phone.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: This so called unaffordability crisis is caused mainly by blue
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: state mayors and blue state governors. The previous call of
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: a young lady from Vero Beach, she got her Catholic
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: holidays mixed up. The Feast of the Assumption is August fifteenth,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: and the other day was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: That's December eighth, and in fact, in Italian we call
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: it la CONCHECIONI Okay, that being said, what's the next
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: thing these crazy democrats are gonna do? When you go
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: to the dealership, They're gonna and you go to buy
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: an Audi, a Porsche or a BMW. Whe are they
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: going to pass the lord to city council and says, hey, uh,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: that person over there only could afford a Volkswagen Golf.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna put a twenty five percent tax on
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: the on the sticker price of your your Porsche or
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: your Audi. So we're gonna put this money in a
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: pool so those people could buy better cars. And you
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: you're buying a filet mignon in the supermarket. No, while
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: your neighbor's buying hot dogs and job meat. You're gonna
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: have to pay a twenty five percent tax on it.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Where does this nonsense end? You live where you could afford,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: You eat what you could afford, and if you can't
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: live in New York City, get the hell out. My
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: girlfriend had to say secretary of years ago that when
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: this woman got divorced from her husband, she had two kids,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: she figured out between the alimony and the salary she
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: was making, she could no longer live in New York City.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: She went someplace in Pennsylvania and is living a very
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: very good life normal.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, a lot of people in New York City could
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: not afford to live in Monte Carlo.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I just, oh, well, you can't. A lot of people
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: can't afford to live on Park Avenue was some place,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: so they go live someplace else. This is a bunch
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: of leftist democrat bs.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: That's all.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: That's a good point, Vincent, excellent call, Thanks for calling.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: You know, we'll talk to and culture. Next up Bat,
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I'll ask her about this. This is a good topic.

• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Christmas presents, get one of her books for somebody. Also,
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: of course follow her on Twitter and substack. Even better,
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: she's got interviews and videos and podcasts, all sorts of
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: stuff on substack. You go to and Culter dot substack
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: dot com and Culter.
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: How you doing fantastic? How are you Mark alone?
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm good, I'm good. I love the Christmas season.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: It seems to make the left wing cooks even more miserable.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: I enjoy that.
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: I love it too. You remind me we have to
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: go see the tree in Rockefeller Center.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna walk by it every year. I walked by.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: I'll walk by it later today. So, uh, this whole
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: thing about affordable housing, you know what they said, we
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: don't have affordable housing. Well you really not gonna ever
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: have any. On Park Avenue and there's certain areas that
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: are gonna be expensive and other areas well, where did
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: this thing come? Everywhere in the world has to be affordable.
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: Well, rents are very high in New York. I'm glad
• 56:03
  Speaker 9: you mentioned afflordability. What what what causes unts rents and
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: purchase prices to be so high in New York? As
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: as anyone in econ one oh one class will take impact,
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: you don't even have to take econ one o one
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: on my financial illiterate reduce the supply of something, Prices
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: go up. Rent control every place in the universe, it's
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: ever been tried. They could try it on Mars. Suddenly
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: you'll have massively unaffordable housing. And oh my gosh, we
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: need the government to build affordable housing. Just just let
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: the market cut loose. Developers build more stuff that I
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: obviously want to build a quote affordable, that is to say,
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: less expensive housing. You know, Sam Walton has done pretty
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: well by providing affordable products to people. It's not like
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: in the market people are only going to build fabulous
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: places on Fifth Avenue. No, quite to the contrary, But
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: they don't build those now because they'll be subject to
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: rent control. And as you and probably your listeners. So
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: a lot of landlords in New York have been forced
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: to just walk away from apartments because their fees, their taxes,
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: their costs of repairs are higher than what they're being
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: paid in rent. So what are they supposed to do,
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: you know, carry these people for the rest of their lives. No,
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: you just need the market. And of course one other issue,
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: there is no there's no problem under the sun that
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: has not helped by mass deportation of illegals.
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I believe or not.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: In the Hamptons, in East Hampton, there was a movement
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: because in East Hampton they didn't have low income housing,
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: affordable movement to get some and the whole town rose
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: up and said, it's the hamp that's not supposed to
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: be any affordable housing that's in the next time that
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: very funny.
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, No, the affordable housing has to go in the poor,
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: middle class neighborhood. Let's screw those people.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but all your life, you know, your parents are driving.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: You see, you're in the car, you're driving the look
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: at these mansions. What a beautiful thing. You keep driving
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: and driving. Next thing you know, you're in a really
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: bad neighborhood. That's that's always been that way. You can't
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: equalize everything, can you.
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: No, that's a really good point. Actually, one of the
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: one of the wonderful things Trump did. What was the
• 58:16
  Speaker 9: name of it. There was this insane program under Obama
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: and Biden. Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
• 58:25
  Speaker 9: I can't think of it. But anyway, it was basically
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: doing exactly the madness you're describing. If someone couldn't afford
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: a family, couldn't afford to live, you know, in a
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: more expensive neighborhood Fringde Connecticut or like you say, the
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: Hampton Park Avenue, under law, we had to subsidize them
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: to allow them to live in homes where they couldn't
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: afford the neighborhood, which is crazy. That's you can they
• 58:57
  Speaker 9: can find housing. They can find plenty of housing. Housing
• 59:00
  Speaker 9: in neighborhoods they can they can afford. It's just like
• 59:03
  Speaker 9: you know, affirmative action at colleges. No, you can get
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: into a college, uh and have roughly the same SATs
• 59:09
  Speaker 9: as everyone you're competing against. But no, we're going to
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: elevate you to a college that's going to make you
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: feel stupid for the rest of your life.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but these crazy left wing Democrats, you know, the
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: double standards unbelievable. Remember they dropped those illegals in Nantucket.
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: Martha's thinking about that.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: They got rounded up and taken out of there so
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: fast that I didn't see any due process there.
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: Did you?
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: Did you see any hearings before they got carried out
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: of there? No?
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: I was thinking about it because, and by the way,
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: I salute you, I've been so trying to ignore this.
• 59:47
  Speaker 9: You know, Venezuelan narco traffickers, whom Democrats are wildly in
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: favor of it. It's the new pet seal on the left.
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: But I was thinking a test should round them all
• 59:58
  Speaker 9: up and send them to.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: Martha's viney, Yeah, that would you know? You're right?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: Actually, in that little harbor, I'd love to see those
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Narcos speedboats coming in at one hundred and eighty miles
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: an hour.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: It's right, just move them in both, build be affordable
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: housing up there and put the Narco terrorists there.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: But how if you're NBC News, if you're the New
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: York Times, and the boat clearly has four outboard super
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: high speed outboard motors that cost almost two hundred thousand
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: dollars and it's going one hundred and eighty miles an
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: hour through the water in the middle of the night.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: How could you claim that's a fishing boat.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: How could they claim that Tucky Williams was, you know,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: a hard working student. Frame for killing a cop or
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: Mumia Abu Jamal. This is their nature. You find a
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: predator on society and oh my gosh, we must start
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: a fundraiser for that person. I think they've moved on
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: from the fishermen. Well, this is what I'm writing about
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: this week. They have a scrolling series of preposterous arguments
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: in defense of narco terrists, whom I'll give you one
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: one little highlight. Last year was the last year we
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 9: have we have figures four cocaine, which is absolutely one
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: hundred percent being shipped. It goes from from Colombia to Venezuela.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: Venezuela sends it to Mexico and then it comes Mexicans
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 9: truck it up to the United States. Back before the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: media felt like it had to lie about this, this
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: was written about about once a year in the New
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: York Times. This will all be covered in the column
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 9: going up later today, But in any event, twenty twenty three,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: thirty thousand Americans died of overdoses from cocaine. Nine to eleven,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: three thousand Americans died, and we went to war in
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: two countries for twenty years. But thirty thousand Americans, Oh, no,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: we can't do anything in our hemisphere. You have to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: go seven thousand miles away. Then we don't mind for innocence.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, for years they tried to think of
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: what to do about these cartel smuggling drugs, and we
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: maybe set up a commission to talk to Mexico. And
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: then I like the Trump approach to watch a bomb
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: just hit the boat and blow it right out of
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: the water.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: I mean, besides the joy of blowing up drug dealers,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 9: you're absolutely right through through Republican administrations, Democratic administrations. US
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: attorneys keep indicting. I mean all of all of Venezuela.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: The only the only product they have is drugs, shipping drugs.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 9: They're sitting on the largest reserve of oil in the world.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 9: They can't get it out of the ground. Socialism works great.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: So the entire country, right up to about the government,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 9: the military, law enforcement, it is a drug cartel. This
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 9: is a country that is a drug cartel. So Obama Trump,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 9: they've all indicted Maduro, the head of intelligence. The indictment
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 9: they indict them, they accuse them of shipping cocaine to
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 9: the United States. Yes, your precious little Obama did this
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: New York Times. And then you know, maybe we'll get
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: an extradition. A couple of them have finally been caught
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: and gone to prison, and then some other somebody else
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: becomes a head of intelligence event in Venezuela. Indicting people
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 9: in Abstentia is not working. What Trump is doing is working.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 9: Therefore liberals are going nuts.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so hey, also a Democrats, boy, they love Tariff's Democrats.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: You know, they call it a corporate tax, but it's
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: a tiff that teriffing business is left and right, which
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: any time you put a tax on a corporation, that
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: raises the prices.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: So uh, that's a good point. I don't mind that.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 9: You're right.
