Speaker 1: Most of the best ideas anybody's ever come up with,
0:06
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to, you know, trying to fix
0:08
Speaker 1: things that are going on in the country, we're always
0:11
Speaker 1: mocked at first, the best ones mocked at first. Case
0:14
Speaker 1: in point, who is laughing now at the crime crackdown
0:18
Speaker 1: in Washington DC? Anybody, anybody at all? Because once those
0:23
Speaker 1: Washington DC residents, you know, the people that actually live
0:25
Speaker 1: there and have to work there and had to carry,
0:28
Speaker 1: you know, some sort of a weapon just to get
0:29
Speaker 1: to work, once they started speaking out and saying this
0:32
Speaker 1: is right, I love this, I love this plan, and
0:35
Speaker 1: most of those happened to be black individuals. Once they
0:37
Speaker 1: started speaking out, the media shut right up. Well here's
0:41
Speaker 1: the next thing. There's not so much of a pushback
0:44
Speaker 1: now for the crime crackdown to come to Chicago, but uh,
0:48
Speaker 1: get ready Chicago, because it's coming. Next. When when you've
0:51
Speaker 1: lost one of the major media outlets in this argument,
0:54
Speaker 1: when now even they're in favor of it, Yeah, it's
0:57
Speaker 1: it's coming. We also have this coup today apparently some
1:00
Speaker 1: sort of a announcement they say two pm from the
1:03
Speaker 1: Oval Office. Trump's gonna do some sort of an Oval
1:05
Speaker 1: Office press conference. The ones from the Oval Office are
1:09
Speaker 1: always usually more important. I don't know. Maybe it's something awesome,
1:14
Speaker 1: maybe it's something big. I don't know. This is one
1:16
Speaker 1: of those surprise deals. But I wouldn't get your expectations
1:19
Speaker 1: up too high, though, and they never start on time,
1:21
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't expect two pm. But we'll figure it out.
1:23
Speaker 1: We'll take some guesses, and tomorrow, by the time it
1:25
Speaker 1: already airs and people are talking about it and ripping
1:27
Speaker 1: it apart, we'll talk about that as well. And there's
1:29
Speaker 1: one other idea that's coming out of New York City
1:32
Speaker 1: that again is getting laughed at because politics are involved,
1:37
Speaker 1: but so are animals. Whenever somebody's laughing at an idea
1:41
Speaker 1: that normal people are in favor of, I always look
1:44
Speaker 1: at this and go, you know what, maybe that'll work
1:48
Speaker 1: talking about cats saving New York City. That's right, the
1:53
Speaker 1: Feline Kiddy Kit. Anyway, We've got a lot of weird
1:55
Speaker 1: stuff to get to today, but thanks for being here.
1:57
Speaker 1: Welcome to it. Short work week. By the way, we're
2:00
Speaker 1: already you're already this much closer to the weekend than
2:02
Speaker 1: you were last week this time. But thanks you being
2:06
Speaker 1: here with me. Wicked Radio livestream part of Wicked Wisdom
2:08
Speaker 1: with Bill Adams. Appreciate you audio podcast listeners as well.
2:12
Speaker 1: Let's get let's get to the crime crackdown now, the
2:14
Speaker 1: whole issue. Anybody laughing at this now? Anybody laughing? All
2:17
Speaker 1: these media experts, all the politicians, all the Washington d
2:21
Speaker 1: C officials, Remember they came out and they said, no,
2:23
Speaker 1: we gotta push back. And then he had all these
2:25
Speaker 1: old hippies in Washington, DC, or not even from there,
2:29
Speaker 1: but arriving from their Northern Virginia homes to mock this
2:32
Speaker 1: and the pushback. Save Washington. We were laughing about it
2:36
Speaker 1: at the time, Save our Crime. Did you see any
2:39
Speaker 1: of that now anywhere?
2:41
Speaker 2: No?
2:42
Speaker 1: Because apparently it's working. And I'm telling you that the
2:46
Speaker 1: turning point was when Washington d C residents, most of
2:49
Speaker 1: them poor, poor crime written communities, a lot of people
2:55
Speaker 1: who are facing this for years, who called for action
2:57
Speaker 1: but never thought anything would be done. Since they started
3:00
Speaker 1: speaking out and saying this is great, this is great.
3:03
Speaker 1: We had them last week. I had plenty of video
3:05
Speaker 1: and audio for you from resident saying yeah, I'll have
3:07
Speaker 1: to watch my back anymore. Walk into work, just trying
3:10
Speaker 1: to get to my job. Once that happened, you know
3:13
Speaker 1: who shut up immediately, the media and the old white
3:18
Speaker 1: libs who don't even live in that community. Gone. But
3:22
Speaker 1: the pushback's happening now in another city because target number
3:25
Speaker 1: two for the crime crackdown it's coming. This is confirmed now.
3:28
Speaker 1: Oh I believe me, it's coming Chicago, Illinois. Let's go
3:32
Speaker 1: to Chicago now and let's see. Well, wait a minute,
3:35
Speaker 1: I'm being told, no, this is a protest in Mexico City.
3:39
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, it just sounds like Mexico City.
3:42
Speaker 1: They actually staged a protest, mostly in Spanish, waving Mexican
3:47
Speaker 1: flags in downtown Chicago to protest cleaning up the crime.
3:52
Speaker 1: I feel weird even saying that sentence, but this is
3:55
Speaker 1: how it all went. If you were to protest a
4:08
Speaker 1: plan to clean it. First of all, it's insane, you're
4:11
Speaker 1: protesting a plan to clean up crime in your city.
4:13
Speaker 1: Would you do it waving another country's flag? Like this
4:17
Speaker 1: is where they are? Who is that going to convince?
4:19
Speaker 1: And where are these people? Once this starts to happen,
4:21
Speaker 1: it's gonna be just like Washington, DC. It'll be the
4:23
Speaker 1: pushback and the outrage and the local officials the outrage,
4:27
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they'll start to just like Washington, DC,
4:29
Speaker 1: they'll start to talk to residents and real people that
4:32
Speaker 1: live there, and they'll start you'll start to hear things like,
4:34
Speaker 1: thank god, thank god, this is happening year. But aren't
4:37
Speaker 1: you concerned that federal officials are in your city? You
4:41
Speaker 1: know what, It'll just be just like the people in Washington,
4:44
Speaker 1: d C. This is what they're gonna say, I don't care,
4:46
Speaker 1: get rid of the crime. Who the hell cares? Not
4:49
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. And there's another thing why
4:52
Speaker 1: this protest is not gonna last so long. This just happened.
4:56
Speaker 1: When you've lost Mourning Joe, that's the warning show on MSNBC,
5:01
Speaker 1: or what's the rebrand? What the hell are they calling
5:03
Speaker 1: that thing now? Whatever that stupid network is. When you've
5:06
Speaker 1: lost them in your entire argument, you're going nowhere. Now
5:09
Speaker 1: they're advocating for this to actually happen. Despite what the
5:12
Speaker 1: Chicago crooked politicians are is you have.
5:15
Speaker 3: Leaders in Chicago that see this, as you say, we've
5:18
Speaker 3: been reading about this for years now every weekend, and
5:22
Speaker 3: maybe crime has gone down, but you know we have
5:24
Speaker 3: the mayor of Chicago on last week saying, oh, we
5:26
Speaker 3: don't need any more police officers. Police officers aren't the answer.
5:29
Speaker 3: No police officers. And you know, I think you said
5:31
Speaker 3: no five times. You look what's happening this weekend.
5:34
Speaker 1: He looks.
5:34
Speaker 3: You know, I actually think that JB. Prinsker should do
5:38
Speaker 3: something radical. I think you should pick up the phone,
5:42
Speaker 3: call the president and say, you know, and I know,
5:45
Speaker 3: you don't have the constitutional authority to deploy the National
5:48
Speaker 3: Guard here and to police my my too. You can
5:51
Speaker 3: do that in DC, you can't do that in Chicago.
5:54
Speaker 3: But let's partner up.
5:55
Speaker 1: You've now got mourning Joe Scarborough advocating for doing exactly that.
6:00
Speaker 1: He's wrong about the constitutional authority. But that's a debate
6:03
Speaker 1: for another day. Did you see the chiron though? The
6:05
Speaker 1: chiron is the lower third of the screen where they
6:07
Speaker 1: have the thing. As he's talking, they had the weekend
6:10
Speaker 1: update of crime in Chicago. Fifty four shot, seven murdered.
6:14
Speaker 1: Hell of a weekend. Wait to spend Labor Day weekend, everybody,
6:17
Speaker 1: And you're gonna tell me you actually think that the
6:20
Speaker 1: residents that people trapped in that crime cesspool in the
6:23
Speaker 1: South side of Chicago aren't gonna be in favor of
6:26
Speaker 1: a crime crack down. There. You know what they're gonna say,
6:29
Speaker 1: I'll predict it now, and it's not even a risk
6:31
Speaker 1: to make this prediction. They gotta put somebody's gonna be
6:34
Speaker 1: brave enough to go into those neighborhoods, put a camera
6:36
Speaker 1: in their face and say what do you think so far?
6:38
Speaker 1: In day three of the National Guard coming in, they're
6:40
Speaker 1: gonna say, he oh yeah, now, I love this. I've
6:44
Speaker 1: been asking for this for twenty five years. That's what's
6:46
Speaker 1: gonna happen. And they know that. This is why you
6:49
Speaker 1: got people like Morning Joe already turning around and advocating
6:53
Speaker 1: for it. This was the same guy. This is one
6:55
Speaker 1: of the same clowns, by the way, before Washington happens
6:58
Speaker 1: sing there's Trump's a dictator. We can't do that. Were
7:02
Speaker 1: right again. It's like a theme, how many good ideas
7:06
Speaker 1: have happened recently that got mocked to no end recently
7:11
Speaker 1: until guess what. They started to work, and then they
7:15
Speaker 1: started to talk to real people, not these empty suit shallow,
7:19
Speaker 1: empty media talking head idiots, or these economists or the
7:24
Speaker 1: so called crime experts or the politicians who are trying
7:27
Speaker 1: to tell you by the way Washington, DC. Going back
7:29
Speaker 1: to them for a second. Remember they were trying to
7:31
Speaker 1: tell you that we don't need this. Crime's been down.
7:34
Speaker 1: You know what they realized hardly publicized anywhere, but they
7:38
Speaker 1: actually took a look at the DC crime statistics from
7:40
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four into twenty twenty five. You know what,
7:44
Speaker 1: they're categorizing murders as they were categorizing them as accidents.
7:50
Speaker 1: Hand to god that actually happened. Gee, I don't understand.
7:53
Speaker 1: I can't believe your crime stats are down when oh
7:56
Speaker 1: it says here that accidents people falling downstairs and break
7:58
Speaker 1: of their necks was in the same category as somebody
8:01
Speaker 1: getting shot in the head. Wow, amazing, But great job
8:05
Speaker 1: with your crime stats. Real people aren't buying it anymore.
8:10
Speaker 1: This is why the pushback is already failing for Chicago.
8:12
Speaker 1: So get ready to Chicago. It's coming crime crack down next.
8:15
Speaker 1: And then I'll keep rolling on because there's no way
8:17
Speaker 1: they're gonna stop with this because crime they are winning
8:20
Speaker 1: so bigly. As Trump would say on crime, this is
8:24
Speaker 1: such a popular move. It'll go throughout the nation. It'll
8:28
Speaker 1: probably let's see, maybe right maybe right to New York.
8:32
Speaker 1: So Washington d C. Because it was right down the street,
8:34
Speaker 1: and just I think image wise, they had to start there.
8:38
Speaker 1: Then they go to Chicago, maybe New York, maybe LA
8:42
Speaker 1: I don't know, Philly. Philly's pretty bad. I don't know,
8:44
Speaker 1: but it's happening. And you know what, even people that
8:48
Speaker 1: hate Trump that happened to live in those cities, they're like, yeah,
8:50
Speaker 1: this is this is this is pretty good. There is
8:53
Speaker 1: another idea that may not happen, but I'm gonna put
8:56
Speaker 1: it into the universe and I want you to as well.
8:59
Speaker 1: So this whole thing. So there's a mysterious Oval Office
9:02
Speaker 1: meeting happened today. And I know this is a lot
9:05
Speaker 1: of politics. We'll try to get out of that here
9:06
Speaker 1: in just a second, but it does relate to you
9:09
Speaker 1: and me in everyday life. One of those mysterious Oval
9:12
Speaker 1: Office announcements Trump's going to make today. Now, temper your
9:14
Speaker 1: expectations because quite often these turn out to be not
9:17
Speaker 1: as exciting as they're hiped up to be. It's supposed
9:20
Speaker 1: to be two pm, and they first start on time,
9:24
Speaker 1: so that's the other thing, So who knows what it's
9:26
Speaker 1: going to be. But first takeaway is this, when could
9:31
Speaker 1: you recall another president, or another time when you actually
9:36
Speaker 1: were curious about what's going to come out of the
9:39
Speaker 1: White House. I mean, I mean honestly, And this is
9:41
Speaker 1: the TV producer side of Trump. This is the guy
9:43
Speaker 1: who gets it like hype things up and get interest
9:45
Speaker 1: and control the narrative is what it's about, and control
9:48
Speaker 1: the headlines. He's got people thinking, I wonder what this
9:51
Speaker 1: press conference is gonna be about.
9:52
Speaker 3: I don't know.
9:53
Speaker 1: That never happens with anybody else. But the second thing
9:56
Speaker 1: is it could be a bunch of different things. It
9:58
Speaker 1: could be about the crime crackdown Chicago coming, could be
10:01
Speaker 1: about trade, could be about trade specifically and sanctions and
10:05
Speaker 1: tariffs against one country in particular. Because it's kind of
10:10
Speaker 1: interesting that he sent out a truth social message the
10:12
Speaker 1: night before or the day before he actually, you know,
10:16
Speaker 1: promoted this Oval Office meeting and this is about India.
10:21
Speaker 3: Hmm.
10:22
Speaker 1: Very interesting. Now he set this out and he said,
10:25
Speaker 1: now it's long. I'm not going to do this to you.
10:26
Speaker 1: I wouldn't read the whole thing, but he kind of
10:28
Speaker 1: had a descriptive truth social about India and our trade
10:31
Speaker 1: deals with them, and saying what few people understand is
10:33
Speaker 1: we do very little business in India tremendous amount of
10:36
Speaker 1: business with us. In other words, they sell us massive
10:39
Speaker 1: amounts of goods. The biggest client will sell them very
10:42
Speaker 1: little until now, a one sided relationship. So I don't
10:46
Speaker 1: know if that's what the Oval Office press conference is
10:48
Speaker 1: going to be about or the event. Who the hell
10:50
Speaker 1: knows or who we even know if it's going to
10:52
Speaker 1: start on time. But something's going on with India. Now.
10:56
Speaker 1: Remember that whole thing I was talking about before about
10:59
Speaker 1: bad eyed great ideas are mocked at first. I won't
11:03
Speaker 1: play them for you because they're all dorks and they're
11:04
Speaker 1: incredibly boring. I could not believe how many expert economists
11:10
Speaker 1: all week and long, all day yesterday we're talking about
11:13
Speaker 1: all the handwringing. Oh Trump is so all. Oh this
11:17
Speaker 1: is where he fails. You know, we were wrong and
11:19
Speaker 1: all the other trade deals in the tariffs before, but
11:22
Speaker 1: this one we're going to be right on. Oh he's
11:24
Speaker 1: he's gonna fail with India. Oh, this is India right
11:26
Speaker 1: now is opening up the trade market with China, And
11:30
Speaker 1: that happens to be true. They are actually having meetings
11:32
Speaker 1: with them. But this is all the economists. Oh they're
11:34
Speaker 1: oh boy, oh no, this economic policy. This is going
11:38
Speaker 1: to be a total fail, just like they said with
11:41
Speaker 1: the tariffs with every other country. All right, Now, he's
11:44
Speaker 1: an explanation. Peter Navarro from the White House. He explained
11:47
Speaker 1: the whole problem pretty well with India, even better than
11:51
Speaker 1: I think Trump did with the truth social here's PETERA.
11:53
Speaker 1: Navara explaining it.
11:54
Speaker 4: Here's the problem with India. It's a two pronged problem.
11:57
Speaker 4: There's fifty percent tariffs on India. Twenty five percent of
12:00
Speaker 4: them is the reciprocal tariff because unfair trade. Twenty five
12:04
Speaker 4: percent is the fact that India is buying oil from Russia.
12:07
Speaker 4: So start with the reciprocal trade tariffs. The problem is
12:13
Speaker 4: that India literally is the Maharaja of tariffs. It has
12:17
Speaker 4: the highest tariffs of any major country.
12:20
Speaker 1: The Maharaja of tariffs.
12:22
Speaker 3: He's got it.
12:23
Speaker 1: Seems to have you noticed this too, that everybody that's
12:25
Speaker 1: around Trump or spend time with him, they start to
12:27
Speaker 1: do that persuasive thing like they put a nickname to it.
12:30
Speaker 1: Maybe not as nasty as Trump does sometimes, but Peter Navarro,
12:33
Speaker 1: India is the Maharaja of tariffs. Well, here's the thing.
12:38
Speaker 1: Something's coming. That trade deal is going to be fixed. Now.
12:42
Speaker 1: Every one of these so far, every one of these
12:45
Speaker 1: economists I was just talking about that have blasted every
12:47
Speaker 1: single tariff idea we had with every other country. Remember
12:50
Speaker 1: what they said about Canada. Why why are we picking
12:53
Speaker 1: on our northern friends? Why do this to Canada? Two
12:57
Speaker 1: months later, it's working. And all those economists that said
13:01
Speaker 1: it wouldn't work not saying a word, not a peep.
13:04
Speaker 1: But they think they're gonna they think they're gonna win
13:05
Speaker 1: on India. They're all excited about this one. Oh, it's
13:08
Speaker 1: gonna be a massive fail for the United States. So
13:10
Speaker 1: we're gonna sit here and say we were right. Really,
13:12
Speaker 1: are you sure about this? Because you're this to you
13:15
Speaker 1: expert economists, You've been wrong about everything so far. And
13:19
Speaker 1: the American people are in favor of it because we're
13:22
Speaker 1: starting to see the effects, the positive effects of it.
13:24
Speaker 1: But prices are so high. Well, when you print up
13:27
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in inflation from the last administration, it's
13:31
Speaker 1: going to take a while to get that stuff out
13:32
Speaker 1: of the economy and fix things. Now, here's the other idea.
13:37
Speaker 1: What if just saying, what if let's put this into
13:40
Speaker 1: the universe. Who would be against even the most ardent, vocal,
13:47
Speaker 1: lunatic TDS inflicted Trump haters hate one thing. This could
13:53
Speaker 1: be that this could be the issue that unites us all.
13:56
Speaker 1: We all hate the call centers and the spam calls
14:01
Speaker 1: mostly confirmed, there's no doubt about it from India. Let's
14:06
Speaker 1: put this idea into the universe. I don't know think
14:07
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, but how incredible would this be
14:11
Speaker 1: if Trump announced in the Oval Office today at two
14:13
Speaker 1: pm that we're going to tear if the hell out
14:15
Speaker 1: of the Indian call centers. Can you imagine? Can you
14:19
Speaker 1: imagine that that would be? Everybody would love that. Now
14:23
Speaker 1: it's not just the call centers, like the people calling
14:25
Speaker 1: you trying to scam you out of your money. It's
14:27
Speaker 1: also it goes to something else, really important customer service issues,
14:30
Speaker 1: which we know have been awful. I mean, let's just
14:33
Speaker 1: be honest about this. Customer service these days sucks in general,
14:36
Speaker 1: and a lot of that is because of outsourced jobs.
14:40
Speaker 1: What if we ended all the outsourcing of American jobs
14:43
Speaker 1: to Indian recruiting firms as well? What if we did that?
14:47
Speaker 1: What if that happened? Is that the announcement today that's
14:50
Speaker 1: coming I doubt it, but it would be amazing. And
14:53
Speaker 1: if more people aware of this, you know, by now,
14:55
Speaker 1: if you paid attention to me for any amount of time,
14:57
Speaker 1: you know, by now are at collective voices at actually
15:00
Speaker 1: do matter? If enough people talk about this demanded you know,
15:04
Speaker 1: other people are doing interviews about this, eventually, this is
15:08
Speaker 1: a white house that actually listens to the people. They
15:10
Speaker 1: do have a pretty good sense for what's going on
15:13
Speaker 1: the pulse of the American people. This is This would
15:16
Speaker 1: be a massively huge deal. Now you know how this
15:19
Speaker 1: would go. Of course, it would if he actually said
15:22
Speaker 1: today or at any other time, with the Indian tariff's deal,
15:24
Speaker 1: and we're gonna we're gonna tax the hell out of
15:27
Speaker 1: any company. We're gonna tear if any company won't do
15:29
Speaker 1: business or trade with any company. There's some little guy
15:32
Speaker 1: in a call center calling your grandma at home. So
15:36
Speaker 1: you know, you know how this would work out. The
15:38
Speaker 1: media would say, oh, he's ridiculous, he's gone off the
15:41
Speaker 1: deep end this time. Real people, American people who have
15:44
Speaker 1: actually dealt with this, would be going, Yeah, that would
15:46
Speaker 1: be awesome to get rid of that and the outsourcing
15:49
Speaker 1: of jobs that have happened. What if they crack down
15:51
Speaker 1: on that, how many job opportunities in tech especially would
15:54
Speaker 1: open up or customer service would open up in the
15:58
Speaker 1: United States, the United States if we actually did that.
16:01
Speaker 1: So again, don't take it at face value. Whatever crackdown
16:05
Speaker 1: is coming for India. Whatever's happening, and something's happening, whether
16:08
Speaker 1: he talks about it today or not, it's going to
16:10
Speaker 1: be the same pattern. Mocked to hell. The same economists
16:14
Speaker 1: that' said all the other tariffs wouldn't work are going
16:16
Speaker 1: to be blasting this thing. It'll take a little bit
16:19
Speaker 1: of time to see some results, and those same economists
16:21
Speaker 1: will say nothing. Those same talking head media people would
16:26
Speaker 1: say nothing, maybe maybe not, We'll see, all right, this
16:31
Speaker 1: is well technically yeah, it's politics changing gears here for
16:35
Speaker 1: a second, but I think it fits more in line
16:38
Speaker 1: with the theme we have today, have good ideas that
16:40
Speaker 1: get mocked to oblivion before they actually work. You got
16:44
Speaker 1: this whole New York City mayoral race, and it may
16:46
Speaker 1: not care about New York and I totally understand that
16:48
Speaker 1: it's not my favorite city either, but it's true what
16:51
Speaker 1: happens in New York really does affect the rest of
16:54
Speaker 1: the country.
16:55
Speaker 2: It just does.
16:55
Speaker 1: It's our media center, it's the financial center. It's the
16:59
Speaker 1: biggest city we have in the country. Got that mayoral
17:02
Speaker 1: race with that lunatic, anti American, lunatic, devout Marxist Zoran Mondani, who,
17:11
Speaker 1: let's face it and start to face facts. He's probably
17:13
Speaker 1: gonna win. He probably just is. But out of all
17:16
Speaker 1: of this and the pushback is happening where people are
17:18
Speaker 1: starting to talk about the real issues that are happening
17:20
Speaker 1: in that city, and they're bad. One of them is
17:24
Speaker 1: not only pollution. There's a crime problem number one. Obviously,
17:27
Speaker 1: there's a lack of housing up there, there's pollution. There's
17:31
Speaker 1: also a major rat problem. If you're paid attention to
17:34
Speaker 1: anything in popular culture with New York City, even if
17:37
Speaker 1: you haven't been there over the years, you're like, of
17:38
Speaker 1: course new York City rats, no, no, no, oh, not
17:42
Speaker 1: like this. And everybody that's there, especially on the East
17:46
Speaker 1: side of Manhattan are saying the same thing. They're saying
17:49
Speaker 1: they've never had a rat problem. This bad. One of
17:53
Speaker 1: the guys running for this mayoral office for this seat
17:57
Speaker 1: not gonna win most likely according to the pollsters. But
18:01
Speaker 1: it's Curtis Sliwa, Remember the Guardian Angels guy He started
18:05
Speaker 1: this because and it started in the seventies, and it's
18:07
Speaker 1: funny how things come full circle. Started the Guardian Angels
18:10
Speaker 1: program because back in the early to mid really mid
18:13
Speaker 1: to late seventies, crime in New York City was so bad,
18:16
Speaker 1: especially in the subway. He put together this group of
18:19
Speaker 1: people to patrol, unarmed, but they know what they're doing,
18:23
Speaker 1: patrolling the New York City subway system with the red
18:26
Speaker 1: bandannas to try to help out the citizens in New
18:29
Speaker 1: York because the city, the politicians weren't responding and the
18:32
Speaker 1: cops were totally overwhelmed. Sound familiar like what's going on today,
18:36
Speaker 1: not just in New York, by the other cities. But
18:38
Speaker 1: Curtis Leewa has been in actually a big talk radio guy.
18:41
Speaker 1: He's been on WABC for a long time as well.
18:44
Speaker 1: But he's running for mayor in New York, probably not
18:46
Speaker 1: gonna win, doesn't have the money behind him, doesn't have
18:48
Speaker 1: the support. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have great ideas. Again,
18:52
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, most great ideas get mocked to
18:57
Speaker 1: oblivion before they actually happen. But tell me this isn't
19:01
Speaker 1: a great idea made some headlines at he's getting some
19:05
Speaker 1: attention for this one. What if you used the pet
19:09
Speaker 1: over population problem in New York City to help with
19:13
Speaker 1: the rat problem. He's talking about cats. What if the
19:17
Speaker 1: kitty cat, the feline friend solved the rat problem? Oh,
19:24
Speaker 1: that'll never work. Really, are you sure. Here's the headline
19:27
Speaker 1: of the New York Post, Curtis Lee, what calls for
19:29
Speaker 1: feral cat colonies to claw back in New York City
19:33
Speaker 1: rat problem. And here's another guy that's starting to use persuasive,
19:37
Speaker 1: persuasive language and description. Here's his quote, caped crusaders at night.
19:46
Speaker 1: It works. And again, this is just like Washington, DC
19:49
Speaker 1: or Chicago. You talk to people who are dealing with
19:51
Speaker 1: this stuff in New York City and you start to say, hey,
19:54
Speaker 1: what if we used all these cats that are going
19:56
Speaker 1: to be probably sadly put to death in shelters, used
19:59
Speaker 1: them to get rid of the rat pri problem. Politicians
20:02
Speaker 1: and talking heads in the media would say, oh, oh,
20:05
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Talk to real people that deal with it.
20:07
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, do it, Absolutely do it. And apparently
20:10
Speaker 1: he's been a big I didn't know this about the guy.
20:12
Speaker 1: I'm not a New York City resident. Apparently he's a
20:15
Speaker 1: big shelter saving kind of guy. Anyway, he talked about
20:20
Speaker 1: this before he actually went in and saved a bunch
20:23
Speaker 1: of cats into abandon Anyway, for a little reminder, here's
20:25
Speaker 1: Curtis Leeway.
20:26
Speaker 2: There was a pressing issue at the Queensbridge Projects, which
20:29
Speaker 2: is right along the East River underneath the fifty ninth
20:32
Speaker 2: Street bridge. We have some cats that are in the
20:35
Speaker 2: basements of the Astoria projects. They've sealed up the entry
20:40
Speaker 2: and exit points. They had no idea the cats were
20:42
Speaker 2: in there during the day, so z He called me down.
20:45
Speaker 2: They had sealed up these entry You could hear the cats,
20:48
Speaker 2: and so we were able to pull back the covering
20:51
Speaker 2: and we called in and there you could see all
20:54
Speaker 2: the cats had their own little locations. The tenants loved
20:57
Speaker 2: them because they weren't having a and a rat problem
21:01
Speaker 2: and a roading problem, which they.
21:02
Speaker 1: That's what started his idea to use the cats that
21:05
Speaker 1: are going to be put to sleep in these shelters
21:07
Speaker 1: because it's an overpopulation problem. Let him do some work
21:11
Speaker 1: and get rid of the rats. Again, we're in phase
21:13
Speaker 1: one of this idea. They're mocking it. Then they'll talk
21:16
Speaker 1: to the residents. Someone will find them and talk to
21:19
Speaker 1: them about it. Then it'll be massively popular. So I
21:21
Speaker 1: don't think the guy's gonna win that race. But if
21:24
Speaker 1: ideas like this get out and start to be put
21:27
Speaker 1: into action, you don't know, good ideas find a way.
21:33
Speaker 1: It's all I'm saying. Hey, tomorrow's midweek already. Can you
21:36
Speaker 1: believe that short work weeks? What if this is a
21:38
Speaker 1: big experiment for companies across the country. Hey, those short
21:41
Speaker 1: work weeks work. Maybe we'll see. I'm sure they'll be
21:45
Speaker 1: talking about it, and we'll be talking about it as well.
