  Speaker 2: Onor Well, it's Friday, it's the final week. This is
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the last seven days of winter and then it's spring.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Got that daylight saving time light out till seven, seven
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: to fifteen some nights. Well, we got a lot to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: get to this hour, so we'll get to Iran in
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a moment. To just update you on the crazy mayor.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: This Mom Donnie is absolutely nuts. I mean, we knew
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: he was like a left wing socialist, antisemitic, all have
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: been on top of that, He's just nuts the things
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: he does. I mean it's just in the first few weeks.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: He's only been here two months. Just look at some
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of the things he said. Remember the terrible shooting of
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the the nutjob, crazy maniac is out there, shoots the cop.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie rushes to the hospital to visit the shooter,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: not the cop. We've never seen that before ever in history.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Goes to the hospital, visits the purp and make sure
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: he's okay. Have you ever heard of anything like that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: You're the mayor, this is your cop. You're a policeman
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: who was shot. You're supposed to visit him. You're not
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: supposed to go visit the purp. The shooter in the hospital.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely insane. Then he invites the worst guy in the world,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that terrorist supporter Khalil Mam, Mama, whatever his name is, Khalil,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: who's at Colombia leading this anti Semitic, anti Israel charge.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: There's this awful October seventh Holocaust that takes place in Israel.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Khalil supports it, he believes in it. Horrible, horrible guy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Thank god the United States decided to deport this guy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You can't get a green card visa. You can't be
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: given a green card to come to the US of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: visa to come here and then try to just destroy
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: everything and everybody. And if it's about freedom of speech,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you got to say on your application, this is what
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you stand for, that when you get here, you're going
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to lead protests against Israel, against this, against it. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he didn't say any He lied on his application, so
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they were going to deport him. They had him detained,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: he was in custody. You get a left wing wacko
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: judge who lets him out, which is not that's bad enough.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Then you get the mayor invites him to Gracie Mansion
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to have dinner there. It's absolutely insane. Mom, Donnie's still
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: getting flak for that. Yesterday, tried to explain it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: When he was detained by ice agents, flown to Louisiana
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and held in an ice facility, and he was held
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: there for months and the only charge that was levied
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: against him was the exercising of his First Amendment rights.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well, actually no, it was leading all kinds of terrible disruptions.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you hate us that much, don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: come here. Don't come here. You know, if you love
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Hamas that much, go over there, go join them. But this,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Mam Donnie's just one crazy thing after another. Now the latest,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know, there was some flack over the homeless. He
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: remember how bad things got in the month of February.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Remember that cold spell were like temperature the real field
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: temperature was like minus ten degrees. It was unbelievably cold.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And Mamdani orders the cops and all the agencies, don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: bother the homeless. If they want to stay out in
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the street, let them stay out. And the result was
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: seventeen died out in the streets. So you got to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: do something. You know, we have these shelters, and the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: problem is you got politicians running and politicians whether it's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: tablasi or types like that. They're just totally incompetent. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: mean they're nice guys. They can make a nice speech,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: but they're not managers. They don't know how to run anything.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You know, they'll tell you, well, the shelter's not safe,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: shelter is infested with rat. Well if that's the case,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: go fix it. That happens all the time. You know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: When guys like Trump are the great builders of New York.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they buy an old building and they you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that's how the meatpacking district started. When the great Irwin Cohen,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: he bought the old Chelsea Market, it was all run down.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: He ended up creating the meatpacking District, the most spectacular
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: thing in the world. But he used to tell me
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: when he bought it, it was disgusting. It was filled
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: with rats and roaches and drug dealers and hookers and junkies,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and it was a crack then. So if he had
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the Diplasio approach, he'd say, oh, the boy, we can't
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: go in there. Nothing we can do. No, they went
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in there and cleaned it out. You come in with
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of cops and a thousand exterminators and you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: clean it out. And you fix it up. So you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: could do that with these shelters, if they're that bad,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: fix them. It's that if that were Rudy Giuliani, he'd
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be back at the shelter the next day with forty
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: cops and fifty exterminators and they'd cleaned the place up,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and then you'd run the shelters. They're not safe. Put
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: some cops in there, make them sick. But politicians can't
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: figure that out. So what do you do with the homeless? Well, Mom,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Donnie just signed a contract yesterday for two billion dollars.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: This is coming out of our paychecks, a contract for
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: two billion dollars to put the homeless in hotels. You
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: remember they did this with the illegals that came here.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Remember they Watson Hotel right up there on fifty seven
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Street with the swimming pool on the roof and the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars a night rooms. That's where they put
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: these illegal aliens. We paid for it out of our paychecks.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So now they're going to put the homeless in hotels.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They're even closing the men's shelter. It's two hundred and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: fifty beds there can hold two hundred and fifty residents
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: on thirtieth Street, they're closing it. You could house people
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: there for a lot less money, but they're going to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: spend two billion on hotel rooms. It's absolutely ridiculous. If
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you ever tried to get a hotel room in Manhattan,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it's very expensive. It's a lot of money for hotel Manhattan.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You ever said, you know, I think we'll stay in
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Manhattan one night. Dan, you look at the rates eight
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: hundred a night, one thousand a night. He said, I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: not going to spend that. But here's the homeless getting
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: it for free. Now, why would you give a two
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: billion dollar contract to these hotels? Well, he may be stupid,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: but he's like a real politician. Now he's getting to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: be a real sleazy, corrupt politician. The reason you do that,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: it's the big Hotel Association, which is one of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: biggest donors in politics, one of the biggest special interest
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: groups in New York, the Hotel Association. That's why politicians
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: love to give them multi billion dollar contracts. Multi billion
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: dollar contracts. Now here's the other problem, besides the fact
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that you're overpaying like crazy to house the homeless. When
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you give a billion dollar contracts, something happened during the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: migrant crisis. When you when you take thousands and thousands
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and thousands of hotel rooms for this purpose, you're taking
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of hotel rooms off the market, So
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you're cutting down on the available number of hotel rooms
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: for tourists. And when you cut down the inventory, it
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: drives the price way up. So if it's eight hundred
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a night for the hotel and you take five, six,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: ten thousand rooms off the market, the price is going
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to double on the hotels that are still on the markets.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely insane. Only an idiot would do that, or a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: sleazy politician who needs to take care of special interest groups.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: The Hotel Association is one of them. I mean, not
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: their fault, but they're big, big, huge donors. They take
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: care of politicians. And it's not just them, a lot
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of these unions they get big, big contracts from these
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: politicians because they make big, big, big donations. Let's get
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to the Nancy Guthrie case. There's a name you don't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: hear anymore, Nancy Guthrie. Go watch your TV twenty four
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to seven. You won't hear the name Nancy Guthrie anymore.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Did everybody just give up. Well, that crazy sheriff, his
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: name is Nanos, that local sheriff who looked like a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: real bumbling and competent from the beginning. Besides bumbling and incompetent,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is starting to look sleezier and sleezier and sleezier, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: stuff is coming out about this guy. Way in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: past in his career, he's lied on his resume. In
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: earlier jobs he had, he got brought up on charges
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: for all sorts of crap, so he's not the most
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: reputable guy in the world. And then Yesterday makes this
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: bizarre statement, because what happened to Nancy Garthrie? Why have
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we stopped talking about it? Why have we forgotten about it?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: So this sheriff yesterday says, well, he thinks he knows
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: why she was targeted. In fact, he warns the suspect
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: could strike again. Well, if he has any idea what happened,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: why is he telling us? Why would you make such
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a real, weird, mysterious statement like that. You're the sheriff.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I think I know what happened, and let us know.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Tell us there are some people, now this sounds a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: little crazy, but there are some people now that think
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: he was involved somehow, or that he knew the people involved,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: something like that. I have no evidence of that, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it sounds crazy to me, but there are some people
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: that now are starting to believe that, Hey, the Department
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of Justice issued a big correction, you know, the Muller Report,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that crazy Muller Report. This is hard to believe, but
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: ten years ago Democrats got so upset about Trump getting
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: elected that they've concocted one of the worst hoaxes ever
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: on the American public. It was the Russia collusion hoax.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: They actually tried to convince people that Trump was some
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: sort of Russian agent, He was involved with the Russians.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: He and Putin, they were colluding on stealing the election,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and they tried to convince everybody that Trump didn't win,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Russia actually tampered with the election. Now, you always get
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: some election denying through the years, Kennedy, Nixon, there's elections
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: where a lot of fraud took place, and it's always
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: brought up. There's a bunch of examples. Kerry claimed that
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: with Bush and all that. But this was the biggest
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: case of election denial ever, trying to claim Russia stole
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the election, and it led to the Mueller investigation, the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Mueller witch hunt, which spent one hundred and fifty million
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of taxpayer money and found absolutely no evidence anywhere of
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: any Russian collusion. Nothing. They found no evidence of Russia
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: tampering with the election. The only thing they came up
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: with they found that Russian bots or something spent one
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand on Facebook ads. Now that is absolutely nothing.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Big restaurants in Manhattan spent one hundred thousand on Facebook ads.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It's nothing. The campaigns each spent like two three hundred
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: million on Facebook ads, one hundred thousand on Facebook edds.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It is not going to do anything to affect anything
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: in the election. So the whole thing was a hoax. Well,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: now the Department of Justice, going through the Muller report,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: has issued a huge correction in it. You remember there
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: was the story about Russia was blackmailing Trump because there
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: was a video of his stay in a Moscow hotel
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: room where he was with two prostitutes and there were
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: golden showers that remember that, this ridiculous, preposterous story about
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: this ridiculous video tape. It never happened, there's no video,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: but they said it was a Russian intelligence agent They
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: even named the guy Russian intelligence agent that was behind
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: this tape, Russian intelligence agent that was to help create
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: this whole Russia connection. Well they've corrected it now because
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the guy whose name is Georgi rich Strich Zaldi, whatever
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: his name is here, it turns out he's not Russian.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: He was an American, and he's originally a Georgie, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: he's an American and he wasn't Russian, had nothing to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: do with Russia. So that correction being put out yesterday
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: by the Department of Justice, first time we're ever hearing
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: about that. Hey, you know, taxes in New York. They
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: keep wanting to raise taxes. They keep wanting to raise
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: taxes on the rich, raise taxes on everybody because they
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: keep claiming, we just don't have enough money. The budget,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the budget, we're short of money, we have a short
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: New York City Council wants to boost its own budget
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: by ten percent ten percent. It's one hundred and fifteen
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: million a year. What the hell would cost one hundred
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and fifteen million a year for the city council. They
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: want to raise it to about one hundred and thirty
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: million a year. Absolutely ridiculous. They want to add fifty
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: seven new jobs city council. They got a meeting room,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: they got that long desk with the microphones. They show up,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: they talk, they vote. That's all you need. Why would
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: you need hundreds and hundreds of employees for this, And
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: they want to add fifth fifty seven new jobs legal
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and professional contracts of the eighteen new jobs just for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the city council speaker. What the hell would they need
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: eighteen new people for? Absolutely ridiculous. Hey, if people tell
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you everybody's leaving New York, you hear that all the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: time from people. Everybody I know is leaving New York.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: People are fleeing New York. It's absolutely not true. There
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: are more people moving in than moving out. In fact,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the condo co op market, especially the high end, it's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: more contracts closed last month than usual the month before,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: more contracts closed than the year before. And when it
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: comes to rentals, and that's the best way to tell,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people when they move for the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: first time in New York, new people coming in usually
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: will rent first. They'll rent and then maybe a year later,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: if they like it, they'll buy something. But the rental
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: market is the way you tell the rental market is
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: through the roof. In fact, it's very tough to rent
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: anything right now. In fact, we've set a new record
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: for declines in available homes. There's very very little inventory,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a new record for how many rentals are going on.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's a massive boom. It's driving the price up. You know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: we see the price of rentals. One reason is so
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: many people are moving here. There's very very very very
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: little inventory. So don't fall for all that stuff. Now
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: people are moving out of Washington State. This is what
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: happens when you try to go soak the rich or
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: target billionaires. So they wrought Washington State, putting in this
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: new tax lots, an extra ten percent tax anybody making
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: over a million dollars a year. The founder, creator of Starbucks,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: which is probably the most famous Washington State company, well
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: maybe Microsoft, but Starbucks just a symbol of Washington State.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: The chairman, the founder, Howard Schultz, Sissy's leaving Washington the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: day before that tax starts, because you know, if you've
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: got one hundred million and the tax is ten million,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you're handing ten million to the government just to squander it,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: just to waste it. If you're a guy like Howard Schultz.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's not that you're greedy, but if you've got an
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: extra tax, it's gonna be an extra twenty million. You'd
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: rather give that to your kids, You'd rather give that
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to a charity. You'd rather donate that to a hospital.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Why would you want to give it to some sleezeball
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: politicians who are going to waste the twenty million? So
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I don't blame him. He's leaving, he's moving to Florida. Hey,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten
