00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Holnkol speak at those great breakfasts, you guys, but

39
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>on I saw the videos look like a huge event.

40
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Julie Mennon was there, and many many other public officials

41
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 1>at this big breakfast on Saturday morning. How did it

42
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 1>go with the current governor?

43
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, she is the governor, and not only Usually we

44
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 2>have the entire back part of the restaurant for about

45
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>eighty to one hundred people. We had both sides of

46
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the restaurant this time, and she had to speak from

47
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the restaurant. Look. And I had warned

48
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>everybody that was coming the week before, Look, she is

49
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>the governor. No matter where you like her, you don't

50
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>like her. You got to be civilized. And we had

51
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of important people here. We had people flew

52
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>up from Palm Beach. The bishop from Palm Beach came

53
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>up to give a prayer.

54
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I saw that.

55
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the Julie men members there, Like you said, now,

56
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the only time I got a little nervous. I mean

57
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the Lieutenant Governor, Betsy McCoy. You remember what you did

58
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>to Governor Patacky when when when Governor of Pattacky was

59
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>giving his inaugural speech or whatever, she stood up next

60
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 2>to him.

61
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

62
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, five minutes into Governor Hoko speech, Well, Betsy look

63
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>away gets up and stands four feet away, four feet

64
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>away from the Governor. I started I started looking at

65
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>the at the governor's husband and the Tucker Green and.

66
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh and talk Shapiro, and.

67
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I said, what are we getting ourselves into? Now? I

68
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>must say everybody was civilized, and Betsy McCoy was civilized.

69
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Betty McCoy, bet is all about Yeah.

70
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I argue with everybody, I disagree on different policies, but

71
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>be civilized to each other.

72
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Betsy McCoy's wanning for governor in Connecticut anyway.

73
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, No, she had to pull out because she there's

74
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>a technicality in Uh, she pulled out because of a

75
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>technicality in got it connecticutte But looks she's a smart lady.

76
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>And but she did the right thing and was very civilized.

77
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Did Governor Hunkle walk up to you and say, please

78
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>send my regards to your morning show host?

79
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely not.

80
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know what I enjoyed this morning. I

81
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 1>knew that was the answer. What I enjoyed this morning

82
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>was I know you're still close with the former Vice

83
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>president Mike Pence and I played a cut earlier today.

84
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Something I've been saying, you know it, John for a

85
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>long time. There is no such thing anymore as a

86
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>common sense Democrat. It's a unicorn. It's a cute saying

87
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 1>that don't exist. There's one. His name is John Betleman.

88
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 1>So I was really happy to see. I'm talking about

89
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>people serving now, not retired people like Governor David Patterson.

90
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's nice to see Tom Cotton say that same

91
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 1>exact thing with Mark Levin on Saturday night and listening

92
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>to Mike Pence with you, he kind of said the

93
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>same thing. He said, Look, Republicans aren't perfect, They're not perfect,

94
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>but the Democrats have completely lost their minds.

95
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>They have completely lost their minds. And I am so

96
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 2>much disappointed in major major people in the Democratic Party

97
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 2>endorsing that lunatic in Michigan and that lunatic in Minnesota.

98
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 2>That's gonna run.

99
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 3>And I mean, all we want is common sense, and

100
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 3>I think the only way that the Democratic Party is

101
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 3>going to learn that is they lose forty nine states.

102
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Secord did in nineteen eighty five. Remember that, you're too younger.

103
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 1>No I remember, no, no, no, I was. I was seventeen.

104
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>It was Ronald Reagan, and I do remember it.

105
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'll tell you that. But nobody's well, somebody got

106
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>up yesterday. I don't know. I didn't read the story.

107
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>I saw the headlined some tomins sense Democrats put up

108
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>fifteen million dollars to fight the Democratic Socialist Committee, and

109
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Socialist Committee is not that big. But guess

110
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 2>what they know how to wage war?

111
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Great, point you exactly right.

112
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, they know how to wage war, and they

113
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>know how to go up to weak Democrats. Looked him

114
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>in the eye and said, where gonna take you down? Okay,

115
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you were you Remember what I did to that guy

116
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 2>that tried to pick it my home?

117
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 1>You were great, You were great.

118
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I took him a disarm. I helped onto it. I said,

119
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>make sure they take make sure they take the photograph

120
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>of us, because the facial recognition equipment will know in

121
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.399
<v Speaker 2>five minutes who the hell you really are.

122
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>A You were great that there. I were standing right

123
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>next to you outside your home when you did that.

124
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 1>But you were you were actually very good because you

125
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 1>were stern and your point, but you're also very very

126
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>friendly and you cooled down that temperature. John to your credit,

127
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>literally in five minutes. I was impressed. I thought I

128
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>was gonna get a little hectic there, but you did

129
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>an excellent job, which, by the way, brings me to

130
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 1>this one of the things I enjoy most on the station.

131
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 1>It's a new feature. I'm not patronizing you. I'm not

<v Speaker 2>saying in one minute or less, common sense And that's

138
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 2>where we were trying to put common sense in one

<v Speaker 2>minute or less and it's important now. Sick. Whenever you're

<v Speaker 1>appreciate that. Only a couple of weeks away from nine

152
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>to eleven, and you know, I've got a couple of

153
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>really brave men coming up in about forty minutes. Both

154
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>lost their wives murdered back on nine to eleven. And

155
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>we have this incredible gallop every year that ABC puts on.

156
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 1>It's the highlight of the year. It's always beautiful Chipriani's

157
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and this year it so happens it falls on that

158
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 1>exact night. I know we're going to honor Governor PATACKI,

159
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>but tell all the folks out there what it's going

160
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>to be like nine to eleven with us at the

161
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Galla coming up that Friday night.

162
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're gonna have the most spectacular gala of the

163
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 2>last five years. Over all the people that came the

164
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>last five years, this gala is going to be even

165
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>more spectacular. We're celebrating the five years. We're celebrating the

166
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>leadership of Governor Pataky at that period of time that

167
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>he helped bring New York back and rebuild all those

168
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>buildings that are there now, and he had the courage

169
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>to make sure he put up the state's money to

170
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 2>have the world Trade Center rebuilt again, and we're honoring

171
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Cardinal Dolan for the last was it sixteen or eighteen

172
00:09:53.679 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 2>years providing moral leadership to our city and our state,

173
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 2>and he became a national figure. And religious politics is

174
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>religious politics, you know, you know he still has the

175
