• 0:09
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So, you got a new problem in New York. You know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: shoplifting became legal under de Blasio, under Hochul. under mom
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: donnie it's just legal they won't under this crazy da
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: alvin brag you're not going to get arrested for shoplifting
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: so it goes on all the time the result is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you go into the drugstore everything's locked up you want
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: although they don't lock up the shampoo kind of an
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: insult to shampoo but you want some aspirin you want
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: uh you want some uh i don't know some allergy
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: medicine anything it's locked up you got to push the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: button wait for some angry looking woman to show up
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: with a key furious that you bothered her and she
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: unlocks it for you. So it's, it's, and these are professionals.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: They all look like kids, but they're professionally organized by
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: professional gangs and they hand them these big, massive trash bags. And, uh,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you know, then they, um, they get these trash bags,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they fill them up. If you're under a thousand dollars,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they will not arrest you. So they've trained these kids
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: how to run around and throw everything in the bag,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: steal everything And they can fill that bag right up
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to $ 999. So it's been a big problem. And you've
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: seen the result that you got to ring a bell
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and everything's locked up. So New York City restaurants, this
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: is the new problem. More and more people go into
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a restaurant, they sit down, they order, they eat, they
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: have dinner, and then they run out without paying the check.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: They're called dine-in dashers. Well, dine-in dashers... have become a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: huge problem in New York. It's happening more and more
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and more. It's growing. Now, the police will not do
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: much of anything because it's a misdemeanor. Let's say it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a $ 100 restaurant loss. It's a misdemeanor. They're not going
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to do anything. So restaurants don't know what the hell
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to do. But what they've been doing, these restaurants, is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: trying to shame the person on social media. It's worked
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in a few cases. So they, you know, they all
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have surveillance video. They can get a picture of the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: people from the surveillance video. And then they'll post it
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: online saying this person, you know, theft of services. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they'll try to shame the person on Instagram and Facebook
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and TikTok. And here was one restaurant. They put the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: picture up and everything. Within 10 minutes, somebody texted them
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with the name of the perp. And now, again, if
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the police aren't going to do anything, I don't know
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: what it means once you identify them. But at least
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you can embarrass them online. But it's going on all
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: over the place. What's the deal with the phones? They're
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not working? Are they... Oh, they're working, but this isn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: working in here. But let's go to Mike calling from Florida. Mike,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: how you doing? Mike, are you there? Mike in Florida?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounds like they're not working. Maybe
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you guys have to pick it up in there.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: This....
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: These buttons in here aren't working. Hiya. Hey, Mike, there
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you are.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: You've been pointing out how the left likes to create
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: hysterias to get the voters motivated, the most recent one
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: being the AI hysteria. I'd like to remind people that
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: in 1979, and you can just imagine who led these things,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen had the No Nukes concert, and stupid Jane
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Fonda had the China Syndrome concert, And for 50 years
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: since then, or 47 years since then, we've lagged behind
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: nuclear energy. Nuclear energy that would have been a boon
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to everybody was sidetracked because two idiots created this hysteria
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: that everybody signed on for.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these left-wing people, they shut down. Andrew Cuomo, one
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of the ways he really damaged New York is he
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: shut down Indian Point. That's 25% of our electricity. Exactly.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It tripled everybody's electric bill.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And it's, you know, there should be a nuclear power
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: plant in every corner by now. No, but you know
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying? It's, it's, you know, it's safer, far
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: safer than it's ever been. You know, they, they've changed
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the technology, but AI is my point is that they're
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: going to do the same thing to AI that they
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: did with the nuclear power. You know, they're going to
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: make us lag and, you know, we're going to suffer
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely right. Mike, good call. Thanks for calling. Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They did the same thing, as we've pointed out, with electricity.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, when electricity was invented, same thing happened.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Everybody said, it's going to kill us all. Electricity is
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going to wipe us out. It's going to be out
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of control, this thing called electricity. This got so widespread
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that a woman wrote a book called Frankenstein about electricity
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: could create a monster that could run around killing people.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That's where the book Frankenstein comes from. this hysteria about
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: how dangerous electricity was. So it's happened a lot. The
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: only thing with AI, it is different in that it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: can take action. It can attack a website. It can attack,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it can hack into stuff. It is, it is something
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that you're going to have to figure out how to,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: how to keep it under control. Anyway, let's go to,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you guys have to push it in there. I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: David in Connecticut, David, how you doing?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Good market. Good morning. Hey, regarding the motorcycles, I just
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: want to give an example. Each one is completely different.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: They have different personalities, just like a restaurant does. They
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: all have different atmosphere. Oh, okay.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That explains it. You believe this guy? He thinks they
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: have personalities. What is wrong with you? They have a motorcycle.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: What do you mean they have personalities?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: What's the difference between a Ferrari and a Volkswagen? You
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: don't think they have different personalities?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, one costs 12 cents and the other is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like $ 500, 000. One goes a million miles an hour and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: one goes and barely runs.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, you just made my example. One goes.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, but in that case, I would get rid of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the Volkswagen and I'll just drive the Ferrari. Why can't
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you just pick one motorcycle?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. Are you a motorcycle collector?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: No, I own a couple old cars, but I did
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: have a motorcycle.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. And then, you know, when we're driving, and you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: motorcycle people weave in and out, and we can't stand this.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You drive us all nuts on the road.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I agree with that. Yeah. You get injured that way.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You get killed. Yeah. All right. Well, good point. What
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: is the personality of a motorcycle, though, besides comfort and speed?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: What else is there?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Some are much lighter. Some are much heavier.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Some are designed for the highway. Some are designed for off-road.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: That's the easiest example.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Well, that clears it up. Thanks for calling, David.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Take care.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, Mark.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Thanks. I still don't get this. It's a motorcycle. Get
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a car. You can sit in a nice, comfortable seat.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You can hear the radio. You can talk on the phone.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You got a cup holder you can drink. Get a car.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: What are you riding around on a motorcycle for? Let's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: go to Dennis in New Jersey. Dennis, how you doing? Dennis,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: are you there?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, hi.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Dennis from Glen Rock.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Yes. On the restaurants, why don't they ask
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: for the credit card first before they... Oh, I like that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: That's a good idea. Yeah. Okay, well, No, very good point, Dennis.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Thanks for calling. That's what's going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: happen because, you know, once they start stealing everything out
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of the drugstore, now everything's locked up. That's going to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: happen in restaurants because all this dine and dash, you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: going to have to pay ahead of time. Now, of course,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: these guys could have bad credit cards, but they'd have
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: time to check out the credit card. Anyway, we got
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to today. Don't forget, I'm here
• 8:16
