Citadel, 17 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.799 one of the world's largest hedge fund firms, is spearheading 18 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.359 the massive redevelopment of three point fifty Park Avenue in Midtown. 19 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.920 As part of the mayor's campaign promise to tax the rich. 20 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.840 Mam Donnie took a jab at Citadel founder and CEO 21 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:03.719 Ken Griffin. 22 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.599 This penthouse we touch on. 23 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.799 CEO Ken Griffin WoT for two hundred and thirty eight 24 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:09.439 million dollars. 25 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.799 This Pierre to tear tax is specifically designed for the 26 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:12.680 richest of the rich. 27 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.359 The city rolled out the ad referencing Governor Hokeles plans 28 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.879 for a pied a tier tax, which would target secondary 29 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.640 homes worth five million dollars or more. The tax the 30 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.120 rich movement has gained steam, with demonstrators filling the lobby 31 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.560 of Governor Hokeles Midtown office Thursday when he were taken 32 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:36.400 into custody. Now, in a company wide email to Citadel 33 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.959 employees obtained by CBS News New York Chief operating Officer 34 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.519 Gerald Beeson said this about the Mayor, it is shameful 35 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.719 that he used Ken's name as the example of those 36 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.120 who supposedly aren't carrying their fair share of the burdens 37 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.760 associated with New York City's often costly and wasteful spending. 38 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.879 Beeson went on to outline contributions by Citadel team members 39 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.079 over the years in in two point three billion dollars 40 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.000 in city and state taxes, also highlighting that the three 41 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.520 point fifty Park Avenue redevelopment is set to create six 42 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.199 thousand construction jobs and more than fifteen thousand permanent jobs 43 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:14.919 in Midtown. 44 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.719 Political analyst J. C. 45 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:18.680 Polanco, what are you doing? 46 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.759 Campaign's over your mayor act like it. 47 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.240 It's just going to push some further to Florida, to 48 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:25.680 Texas where so. 49 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.240 Many of them are taking their companies. 50 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.479 As of now, it's unclear if Citadel will indeed be 51 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.759 pulling out of this project now. 52 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.199 We did reach out to the. 53 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.159 Mayor's office earlier to get a response about this situation. 54 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.879 We did not here back. 55 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.840 With the nation in its second year of a measles 56 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:46.759 outbreak seventeen hundred cases and counting this year alone, lawmakers 57 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.680 on both sides of the aisle pummeled HHS Secretary Robert F. 58 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.000 Kennedy Junior with questions about the spread and the vaccine 59 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.080 that can stop it. 60 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.280 Can you please tell us here today what you're going 61 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.319 to do to reduce the number of me cases and 62 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.080 improve the MMR vaccine vaccination rate. 63 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.120 Improve the MMR. 64 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.280 We promote the MMR. 65 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.000 We advise every child to get the MMR. 66 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.439 This summer, we're hosting the World Cup and celebrating America's 67 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.680 two hundred and fiftieth birthday. Tourists from all over the 68 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.919 world will come to the United States. Unfortunately, some of 69 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.680 them will bring vaccine preventable diseases like measles and Unfortunately, 70 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.840 our measles immunization rates have fallen, which means that this 71 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.919 increases the risk risk of a measles outbreak in the US. 72 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.599 What steps is AJS taking to address the outbreaks that 73 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.120 may arise from the World Cup and the folks coming here, 74 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:40.879 mister Chairman. 75 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.120 We've done better at controlling the measles outbreak than any 76 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:49.199 country in the world. This is a global outbreak. It 77 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.960 started before I came to office. Most of eight eighty 78 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.639 percent of children effect that are over five years old, 79 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.800 which means their decision not to back vaccinate predated my appointment. 80 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.639 We have limited that last year to twenty two hundred 81 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.520 kys is. Mexico had three times that much with one 82 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.879 third of our population. Canada had double that much with 83 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.039 one eighth of our population year about one hundred and 84 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.839 twenty seven thousand cases the year before. We have a 85 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.680 global pandemic. Has nothing to do with me. I wasn't 86 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.319 in any of those countries. We should not be compared 87 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.439 to have a better job at limiting it in any 88 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.399 country in the world. And you can talk to governorment 89 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.160 Master about that and Governor Abbot about the health. 90 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.720 That we've given them. 91 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.160 In Texas, we know how to control the outbreaks. 92 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.560 The question was what steps has the administration taken to 93 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.720 track the diseases that would come in potentially through these 94 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.439 You were pointing out that other countries have outbreaks, which 95 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.360 increases the likelihood they will bring that here. And our 96 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.000 immunization rates have fallen below ninety five percent. 97 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.600 So Springsteen is out on a tour, a Land of 98 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.480 Hope and Dreams tour. And here's what he opens with. 99 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.399 The Mighty E Street Bands here tonight to call upon 100 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.000 the righteous. 101 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.759 Power of hor of music, of rocket. 102 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.040 Role and dangerous times. 103 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.800 We are here in celebration and in defense of our 104 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:32.319 American ideas, democracy, our constitution, our sacred America, promise the America, 105 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.199 the America that I love, the American that I've written 106 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.959 about for fifty years, and it's been a beacon. 107 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.360 Of hope and liberty around the world. 108 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:44.839 The strongly in the. 109 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:53.480 Hands of a corrupt, incommant racist works a treat this administration. 110 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:54.920 Boring. 111 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.680 And he couldn't back it up. He couldn't back it up. 112 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.720 Springsteen could not back up. If Springsteen sat here for 113 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:07.399 one of our long form will do It Live podcasts, 114 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.120 I can guarantee you it would not be a pleasant 115 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.560 experience for Bruce Springsteen because he couldn't answer the questions 116 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.519 because he doesn't know what he's talking about. But what 117 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.920 he does know, it's how to make money. So a 118 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.120 local Jersey newspaper tracked down what Springsteen is charging for 119 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.319 his top tickets in this Land of Hope and Dreams 120 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.879 tour ready in New Jersey, which just happened a couple 121 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.759 of days ago. Springsteen charged twenty nine hundred bucks for 122 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.160 top New York City twenty eight hundred, DC where I 123 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.519 am now eighteen hundred, Chicago twelve hundred. In addition, Springsteen 124 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:58.800 is selling no King's flags in the concourse of the 125 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:05.279 stadiums or the arenas. So Bru's making big bucket off 126 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.439 this big buff. 127 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.120 Off de scent. 128 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:09.079 Now. 129 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.639 I looked around and and maybe he's given some of 130 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.439 this money to charity, but we can't find it, and 131 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.759 that means it goes in Bruce's pocket. Isn't there something 132 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.279 a little taw to you about that? 133 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:25.680 I think there is? 134 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:26.759 Get it? 135 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.120 Income fire. 136 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.199 Hawks take the lead. 137 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.639 Off pensively, and Dyson Daniels has been the best. 138 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.399 Defender on Brunson. 139 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.800 The Hawks stole one in Game two it's down to 140 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.399 the wire here and game for seven seconds left. 141 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.360 Clunch him of the ball, crouching, makes it move, crouching 142 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.639 off the baseline, He's gotta. 143 00:07:51.399 --> 00:08:00.600 Chuck it down the holder. Atlanta takes a too long 144 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.879 lead in the series. 145 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.199 The reality of it is, and I told them this, 146 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.199 it's a seven game series for a reason. You know, 147 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:13.639 stuff's gonna happen. There are plenty of teams have been 148 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.680 down one too, you know. Should I even think Oklahoma 149 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.240 City was down one to last year and they end 150 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.720 up winning winning it. So I'm not saying we're gonna 151 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.240 win it or anything like that. But the reality of 152 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.959 it is, it's seven games, and you take one game 153 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.680 at a time. Each game is its own entity. And 154 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.320 that's what I told the group. Now, this should stink 155 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:38.000 because we gave ourselves a chance knowing that we didn't 156 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:43.039 play our best basketball. So it should stink. But we 157 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.919 need to feel it and get ready to be locked 158 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.360 in for the next game, which we will be. Okay 159 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.600 the interview, As you said, offensive line is still work 160 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:53.279 in progress. 161 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.519 What does this do for your work in progress? 162 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.159 It advances it. You know, we'll have to finish it 163 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.200 off of practice, you know, for the next couple of 164 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.759 weeks and put it all together. But it's it makes 165 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.440 us a lot more stout. It's it's two picks that 166 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.480 strengthen us down in the middle, down the middle of 167 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.360 our offense, down the middle of our defense. I mean, 168 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.840 these are two, These are great players. These are two 169 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.919 top five players in this draft. In our opinion, you 170 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.000 couldn't do any better. I think Joe probably ran about 171 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.799 a zillion mocks. 172 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:22.919 It's maybe. 173 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.120 Number, but maybe there was a couple of million, and 174 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.399 this one didn't come up. This was not one that 175 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.279 was really anticipated, and that just shows you that, you know, 176 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:34.799 reality is stranger. 177 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.519 It's fixing the stranger, the reality that's strange. 178 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.840 This is this is exciting. This is not expected. This 179 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.360 is something that's really a great, a great opportunity for us. 180 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:50.600 I love this song. 181 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:55.840 Electric Blue. Blue. Blue is the big color. Sitting friends 182 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.320 in the morning today. The very last piece you heard 183 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.639 in that open was the head coach of Big Blue, 184 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.879 the football Giants. Blue. That's going to be our color today, 185 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:12.279 even though of course blue represents the disgraced democrats. I'm 186 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.240 wearing a red sport jacket toevery I'm wearing blue pants, 187 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.480 so I guess I'm playing for both teams, but blue 188 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.960 will be the color today. Blue is the color of 189 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.039 the Knicks. What a nightmare that was last night. At 190 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.120 the end, blue was the color of the Mets. I've 191 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.519 got news about Met owner Steve Cohen. The Mets have 192 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.600 now won two straight. Don't look now, but they went 193 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.720 from a twelve game losing street to the best team 194 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.320 in baseball. I guess, I don't know. It is six 195 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.559 fourteen on your Friday morning, back on your favorite talk show, 196 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.759 Sitting Friends in the morning here in New York, three 197 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.399 fourteen am for our listeners listening right now in Los Angeles, 198 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.480 and of course one fourteen pm it's lunchtime in Jerusalem 199 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.840 and Tel Aviv. And we got a big show coming 200 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.879 up today, like seven amazing guests and all at different 201 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.279 topics from talking about Blue the cops, right, we know 202 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.600 how much attention we pay the cops on this show. 203 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.960 I was not there yesterday, but I'm assuming that Scott 204 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.720 Monroe's rally on the steps of City Hall for the 205 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.279 DEA yesterday went well. So we have a guy coming 206 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.200 in who's been on the show a couple of times before. 207 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.559 It dates back a couple of years through my friend 208 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:28.039 Jen Kerns. His name is Randy Sutton, and Randy's out 209 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.919 there in Las Vegas. He's a retired police lieutenant, but 210 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.559 he founded the Wounded Blue Talking about Blue there we go, 211 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:43.120 which improves lives of injured and disabled l eos through support, education, assistance, 212 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.480 and legislation. So Randy Sutton wakes up every day trying 213 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.559 to figure out how to make an injured cops life better. 214 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.000 It's pretty cool, right, No, sounds great? 215 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.200 Yeah, So he's also they have a car and this 216 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.919 one I haven't figured out exactly what the connection is, 217 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.720 but they drove this NASCAR from the West coast all 218 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.600 the way here. So at seven o'clock this morning, when 219 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:15.759 Randy Sutton comes on the air, parked outside our studios 220 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.720 is going to be a legitimate NASCAR which is going 221 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.320 to go from here, I believe to Talladega. Well how 222 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.000 about that? 223 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.720 That's pretty cool? 224 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:29.200 Yes, So Randy's coming, Gen's coming, and the actual NASCAR 225 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.240 is going to be outside. We're also going to talk 226 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:36.559 to O'Brian Kilmead. This one is also interesting. Her name 227 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:42.440 is Blair White, and Blair is a very famous conservative transgender. 228 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.279 Blair is one of those folks kind of like Caitlin 229 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:53.240 Jenner that is not for all the rules that the left, 230 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.320 that the Democrats want to make the transgenders. I don't 231 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:01.879 know if Blair has buyers from and now that she 232 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:06.879 is a girl, if she actually has a morse about 233 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.960 that decision.

We'll discuss a whole bunch of stuff like 264 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.559 you're heard in the open. I mean, you heard the 265 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.159 knicks in the open, you heard the giants in the open, 266 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.840 you heard about this Ken Griffin story. That's the one 267 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.519 for me that I think is the biggest story the day. 268 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.120 Here you've got Ken Griffin, who by all accounts is 269 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.600 a wonderful guy. I don't know him right, He's in 270 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:10.120 that same category as our great boss. We love him. 271 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.879 John Katzmathid's Bill Ackman, that group of multi multi billionaires, 272 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.279 and Ken wants to do this big project not far 273 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.279 from here at three point fifty Park Avenue, a project 274 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:27.759 that would include six thousand construction jobs, fifteen thousand jobs 275 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.799 around the city, and a ton of money in the billions. 276 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.600 I believe, manme me, the millions that would go to 277 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:39.480 the city. Ken bought his second apartment or second home 278 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.840 for just under three hundred million dollars. That's a pretty 279 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.440 swanky place now, just under three hundred million here in 280 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.919 New York City and only in New York City or 281 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.639 at least Blue cities across America. Because Ken Griffin, God 282 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.480 bless him, the CEO of Citadel has worked very very, 283 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.960 very very hard, and because Ken Griffin is now enjoying 284 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.639 the fruits of his labor, and because Ken Grippin decided 285 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.720 to buy here in New York, not Palm beach, not 286 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:17.679 Myrtle Beach, No here in New York because of all 287 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.879 those things. According to Mamdannie and kel get ready for 288 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.080 this now, bolks, get ready. Ken Griffin is a criminal. 289 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.480 He's a criminal because what do you do to criminals. 290 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.600 You punish criminals. Now, he may not go to jail, 291 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:40.440 Ken Griffin, but he's being punished. I mean, the rich, rich, rich, rich, 292 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.759 rich people in this city already pay the majority of taxes. 293 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.240 The numbers keep changing in terms of percentage, but they 294 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.679 pay the majority of taxes. Well, that ain't good enough 295 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.919 from mister Mamdanie, who's a millionaire himself, or Governor Hokel 296 00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:01.399 who's a millionaire herself. So Ken Griffin one of our treasures. 297 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.079 I'm proud of the billionaires in New York City. I 298 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.240 know how hard it is just to make a decent living. 299 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.759 I don't make a great living. 300 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:11.200 I don't. 301 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.759 I'm being honest. I don't. Hopefully that's gonna change very 302 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.279 very soon. It needs to. But I'm proud of the 303 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.039 guys that do make I'm I'm not jealous, I'm not angry. 304 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.279 I'm proud of them. I'm proud of John Katzimatitis I'm 305 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.319 proud of Ken Griffin, I'm proud of Bill Ackman, and 306 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.119 I love the fact that they put a lot of 307 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:37.640 their money back into our city and the city which 308 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.440 is already I know the exact number, what the deficit is. 309 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.960 It's in the billions. We are dying here. So why 310 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.799 would this asshole mayor? That's what I called him, printed 311 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.880 Katie Honing, come on now, go ahead, Chris Somemrfel put 312 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.000 in Politico, I called him an a hole. Why would 313 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.920 this mayor in a city that is believe eating money? 314 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.200 We got no money, We got nothing. I mean, we 315 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.079 have enough money to have a ticket tape parade for 316 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.079 autumns too, which is ridiculous. The fact they're even considering 317 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.640 that is a joke. And I love the astronauts. I 318 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.240 love what we did, and God bless those people. We 319 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.400 don't got a pot to pissing. We're gonna make a 320 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.720 ticket tape parade for a bunch of astronauts. I mean, 321 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.799 how stupid is this city? Now? 322 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:24.279 The mayor is gonna take. 323 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.480 The people that pay the taxes, that put the money 324 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.680 back in the system city and state here in New York, 325 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.319 that bring jobs to New York City and he's gonna 326 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.319 make fun of them in a sixty second video online 327 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.000 and expect Ken Grippin to watch laugh. Did Mayor Mom 328 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.440 Donny think Ken Griffin was gonna get a chuckle out 329 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.759 of it? Well, he doesn't care. Just get out of here, Kenny, 330 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.039 take your money and your jobs and all that good stuff, 331 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.920 and go to Palm Beach. 332 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:55.839 We don't want you here. We don't want you, we 333 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.279 don't need you. 334 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:57.000 We're doing so. 335 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:57.720 Well in New York. 336 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.319 I mean, what is this male? What is the what 337 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.119 is the strategy? What is the thought process behind the 338 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:13.000 mayor publicly humiliating a guy that has given his blood, sweat, 339 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:17.279 peers and money to New York City? You tell me, no, 340 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:17.880 what is it? 341 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.440 Well, if you haven't seen this video, I saw it. 342 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.400 So I just want to explain for people who did 343 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.680 Mayor Mom Donnie put out the sixty second video where 344 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.359 he's standing in front of Ken Griffin's home. He's the 345 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.559 CEO of this hedge fund, and he's like basically putting 346 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.480 his hands together saying we're going to get his money 347 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.000 because of this tax on Pierre Deterere's and he goes 348 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:37.799 after Ken Griffin. 349 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.319 Now, Ken Griffin's in the middle. 350 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:43.160 Of negotiating this project that will bring six billion dollars 351 00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:46.319 into Middewn Manhattan, And so then Ken Griffin, of course, 352 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.359 the video gets back to him and he said, wait 353 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.720 a minute, I could build this thing anywhere. 354 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:52.319 I don't need to do it in New York City. 355 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.359 And they even put an email out yesterday to a 356 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.759 city company wide email to employees saying that it's shameful 357 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.640 the mayor used Ken's name as an example of those 358 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.880 who haven't been carrying their weight in the cities. 359 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:06.079 That's total nonsense. 360 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.119 Well there is. I mean, you know, listen, the way 361 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:14.640 he's thinking is dangerous and Unamerican and stupid. To begin with, 362 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.839 Mony just says billionaires are millionaires. That's bad enough, right 363 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.039 courtis you like that too, But when you start to 364 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:29.279 actually include people's names, that's downright humiliating. If I was 365 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.960 Ken Griffin, I'd be out of here tomorrow, I really would. 366 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.079 And I keep saying the same thing over and over again. 367 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.920 I was the first to say it. We played the 368 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:42.039 audio yesterday with Josh Hammer and Larry Trump when LARRT. 369 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.480 Trump endorsed me for mayor in twenty nine, and her 370 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:47.640 father in law is going to be coming back with 371 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.559 the same endorsement soon. Trust me, I'm not even kidding. 372 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:54.400 I'm being serious. But I said on this show weeks 373 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.319 ago because I am in recovery, recovering adding and I 374 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.960 know that the addict never really has a chance of 375 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.119 getting better until the addict, most of the time, hits 376 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.359 rock bottom. And now people's rock bottoms are different. They 377 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.599 will tell you that if you continue to drink or 378 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:16.160 drug or gamble, whatever you do, that there are three 379 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:21.759 things waiting for you, prison, insanity, or death. None of 380 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.599 those are great nome other people's rock bottoms. Maybe they 381 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.599 lose their family, they lose their jobs. It's it's different 382 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.839 for different people. But when the addict hits rock bottom 383 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.680 and says I'm powerless and then asks a higher power 384 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.000 could be God, doesn't have to be for help. That's 385 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.440 when the addict is on the road to recovery. But 386 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.160 the addict has to hit its knees, his or her 387 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.000 and hit rock bottom before they can start to enjoy 388 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.480 any real recovery. That's what New York needs to be 389 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.359 and that's exactly what this mayor is doing. When you 390 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.200 use millions, a guy like Ken Griffin, who is in 391 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.440 the midst of negotiating a project for six billion dollars 392 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:11.039 in this city, which is just bleeding money. You are 393 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.240 eventually going to bring New York to its knees, and 394 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.920 that's what we need. I know it sounds nuts because 395 00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.480 I live here, right. I live in Queens, but I 396 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.920 work in Manhattan. My beautiful wife works here in Manhattan. 397 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:27.440 My amazing son goes to school in Manhattan. Ava works 398 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.200 for author I Donna in Manhattan. We're all here. We're 399 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.599 all here. I can't stand walking the streets every day, 400 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.480 every day and people will tell you, no, it's not 401 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.160 that bad. They're lying. Junkie after junkie kicking on the train. 402 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.960 There's not one car I've been on, and I don't 403 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.440 know how long when there's not. Some just disgusting. If 404 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.559 it's not a junkie, it's a homeless person. God bless 405 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:55.720 them who made all over themselves peepy and duty. It 406 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.000 stinks half naked people all It's just the city is growth. 407 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:05.640 Anybody who tells you different is lying, okay, and it's 408 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.200 gonna get worse, And unfortunately that has to be the case. 409 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.759 We have to really hope that this guy, Mom, Donnie 410 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.960 destroys whatever is left. Look, we had twelve years of 411 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.720 bad leadership eight or Bill Deblasio, he may have been 412 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.160 the worst ever. This guy's gonna be worse, and not 413 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.839 exactly a ban of four years for Eric Adams. I 414 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.279 know he feels good about himself these days, but three 415 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.200 of those four years he sucked to. So we've got 416 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.480 twelve years of pretty lackluster, if not terrible leadership. Here 417 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:38.680 comes this clown and it's gonna get worse. And it 418 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.839 needs to get worse because maybe then in twenty twenty 419 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.480 nine New Yorkers will wake up. I doubt it, because 420 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.720 New Yorkers, I believe, are either stupid or they enjoy 421 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.240 the pain. I don't know. I can't figure it out. 422 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.039 I can't figure out when New Yorkers continue to vote 423 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.799 people into office that harm us, that allow criminals to 424 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:04.839 walk the streets, allow people to raise taxes so the 425 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:11.000 successful leave. Besides the ninety thousand other things, which include 426 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.880 religious freedoms, Jewish people can't walk the streets. That's right, 427 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.720 Persians are mine. There's no islamophobia. Jewish people can't walk 428 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.200 the streets, and New Yorkers just keep coming back for more. 429 00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:27.319 So we'll hit on these, we'll hit rock bottom. Maybe 430 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.480 Ken Grippin leaves. Maybe John Katzermatidi spends more time in 431 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:36.839 those beautiful buildings in Saint Petersburg. Maybe Bill Lackman decides, 432 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.799 you know what, I'm out of here. I don't know. 433 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.160 I don't know, but I know this that there's no way, 434 00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.480 there's no way that we can continue to do this. 435 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.279 We can't do it. You know, I can't even say this. 436 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.319 Suzanne Miller was on this show last week. She does 437 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.839 a great job, big real estate person here in New York. 438 00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.319 Sheit's got the Miller Report podcast here at ABC, and 439 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.519 she talked to about this. Pierre de Tier, Is that 440 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:03.240 how you say. 441 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.160 It, Pieta Tar? 442 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.440 Whatever, I'm from Brooklyn, not from France. Jesus Christ. Can 443 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.759 we get something that says New York and not Paris. 444 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.640 He's called second home? Say it again, pied Tar. 445 00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.000 Right now, that's Hochel's deal, of course, but it's not 446 00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:20.039 Hocal's deal. It's Hoche's deal, but it's really not because 447 00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:23.799 everybody knows that even though it's hard Deel, she's the governor, 448 00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:27.640 that the person that runs this state, which is not 449 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.200 supposed to be because the mayor usually runs the city 450 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:34.359 is mam Donni. So Hochel just had to figure out 451 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.200 something to make Mam Donnie happy. And that's why you 452 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.640 got this second home tax, which is called what again, 453 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.279 yeah a tear? Yeah not so. My advice to Ken 454 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.440 Griffin is get the hell out of here, shove it 455 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:50.920 up Mamdanni and Hokal's ass, and pray for the rest 456 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.960 of us that we somehow make it through the next 457 00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:57.680 three plus years. You like that suggestion, though. 458 00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.240 Well, no, I don't want them to leave. I mean, 459 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.160 this is jobs and money for the city that they 460 00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:02.000 desperately need. 461 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.400 So what he needs to go smooth it over? He 462 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:05.279 ain't s more to get over. 463 00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.359 I mean, you know, it's almost like he's still running 464 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:09.039 for mayor when he puts these well that's what. 465 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:11.759 That person said. They said, you've already won. Now act 466 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.240 like a mayor, right, all the crazy stuff you said, 467 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.480 and you've won. Now act like a mayor. 468 00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:18.960 I mean to stand in front of ace of a 469 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.480 home of somebody who lives in New York City and 470 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.079 create this video. That's what worked on the campaign. 471 00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:24.799 Trill. That's great. 472 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.720 It worked for me one mayor because he was so 473 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.319 good on social media. But your mayor now, so you 474 00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:32.440 don't need to do those videos anymore. But he apparently 475 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.160 still doing them. 476 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.039 And he was just on Meet the Press with Kristen 477 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:40.440 Walker last Sunday five days ago, courtesy of NBC, and 478 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:43.680 he doubled down on everything. She asked him plat out, 479 00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:48.880 what about socialism? I've never been more confident that socialism 480 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.119 is the way to go. You know we said that, right, Yeah, 481 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:54.599 he doubled down on everything. He thinks he's doing a 482 00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.480 great job. He doesn't care who he offends. Who he 483 00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:02.799 pisses off doesn't matter whether it's Ken Griffin or Sid 484 00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.000 Rosenberg or a rabbi, It doesn't matter to him. He's 485 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:12.720 got his ideologies, his philosophies, his policies, and damn be 486 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.839 New York for anybody who gets in his way. So 487 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.200 you people out there that are nice to him and 488 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.039 tell me he's he's got a nice smile, and he's charming, 489 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.640 and he went to a good school. He's a smart guy. 490 00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:27.960 Shove it up your ass, Shove it right up there. 491 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.400 Okay. 492 00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:34.759 He is a dangerous, dangerous, bad guy. He's an't that 493 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.359 cop too. I don't know how anybody who's pro cop 494 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.920 can tell me that he's a nice guy. This guy 495 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:45.480 couldn't care less if cops died in the streets. So 496 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.160 every day's a different story every day with this mayor. 497 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.640 It's only been three plus months, it feels like three years, 498 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:57.759 because every day is a different story about how, somehow 499 00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:01.880 or some way he is screwing the good people of 500 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:02.319 New York. 501 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.640 It's every day. No, no, every day, I feel like 502 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:05.000 it is. 503 00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:06.640 We have a story at least a couple of times 504 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:09.279 a week anyway, Just ridiculous. 505 00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.559 So again, Ken Griffin, to yourself a favor. Get out 506 00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.279 of here and John go down to Saint Petersburg and no, 507 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.000 do a new deal first, of course, but then you 508 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:23.279 can go and Bill Lackman. I don't know what Bill. 509 00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:24.920 I guess he has a place in mar Lago. I 510 00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:28.119 don't know. Yeah, he's only worth about ten billions. 511 00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:29.599 Yeah, I mean they have a lot of places. 512 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:32.960 Not just they got a lot of places. They're criminals, 513 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.440 they are bad people. They have second homes. Oh my god, 514 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:39.200 they've actually made it. They can buy your second home. 515 00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.359 And I'm looking as I'm saying all this, I'm looking 516 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.400 at this idiotch osay on television who was arrested at 517 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.160 this d theft rally in Brooklyn and Betstye a couple 518 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.480 of days ago. And I can't stand this guy. And 519 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.960 guess who was very very quick, very quick to defend 520 00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:59.920 chi Osay a couple of days ago. 521 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.519 I'm donnie. 522 00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:03.960 He never gets it right. You know, he's got to 523 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.519 visit purpose in the hospital, not cops, gone down to 524 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.880 Rikers Island, hang out with the criminals, not cops. I 525 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.119 just can't figure out what this guy is done right. 526 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.680 I asked the same question every single day, and no 527 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.839 one has been able to answer it other than well, 528 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:22.880 he's great with the kids. 529 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:23.640 The childcare. 530 00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:26.759 How cute was that when he's sang the wheels on 531 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:31.119 the bus go round and round with Barack Obama? Cute cute? 532 00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:34.839 I wanted to kill myself. That was vomit inducing. That 533 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.960 was awful. But uh okay, childcare. He seems to be 534 00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:41.319 on top of that. Free childcare. 535 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:42.680 Now. 536 00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.960 I met my wife in college. Actually I didn't. I 537 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.839 met her at Captain Walters, but we took a class 538 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:54.759 together in college economics. We had an Australian professor. He 539 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.319 was really good. He died from a brain too many 540 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:01.200 years later, but I remember half drunk out the night before, 541 00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:05.119 on a Friday morning, many many years ago, thirty plus, 542 00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:09.359 sitting in the economics class. And the first thing that 543 00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:12.160 the professor said to us and Danielle was sitting about 544 00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:16.039 five seats away. Who knew that nearly thirty four years 545 00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.720 later we'd still be married or getting married. And he said, folks, 546 00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:24.519 I'm going to tell you this right now, there is 547 00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:29.680 no such thing as a free lunch. And I said 548 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.359 to myself, what are you talking about? My friend Vinnie 549 00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:35.359 want me lunch yesterday? It was free, But I think 550 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:39.359 he meant on a larger scale, there's nothing free. So 551 00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:43.240 when Mamdani promises free this and free that to some 552 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.160 of these young idiots had voted him in because he 553 00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:50.279 was voted in fair and square. There was no Muslim block. 554 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:54.319 They weren't flying in radical Muslims from around the world. 555 00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:58.119 He won fair and square. He got this New York 556 00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:01.880 crowd in a tizzy. Told you this story many times. 557 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.680 I take the ferry home every day. That vote, as 558 00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.640 Lewis can attach to, is packed with kids from Brooklyn, 559 00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:13.880 from Williamsburg, from the city, all young kids and me, 560 00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.079 I'm a radio guy. So if you sit next to me. 561 00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:19.079 I tend to interview you. I just do. And I 562 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.480 remember last summer asking all these kids how you're gonna vote? 563 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.400 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't say Curtis, couldn't care less. 564 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.680 They didn't say Cuomo, they didn't say Eric Adams when 565 00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.480 he was still in the race. Almost every one of them, 566 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:35.720 in fact, every one of them was enthusiastic in talking 567 00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:39.440 about mom Donnie because he promised him pre stop. 568 00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:40.599 And I don't like the Jews. 569 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.119 I love that, But there's nothing free because for those 570 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.400 dopey kids in Williamsburg that think they're getting something for free, 571 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:50.200 which he's already lied about. Last I checked, the buses 572 00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:53.599 ain't free. Are they known what exactly has been free 573 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:54.920 so far that he promised? 574 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:55.559 Uh? 575 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.599 Nothing zero? But if it does happen, it's not free. 576 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.279 Somebody's got to pay for it, and it comes in 577 00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:04.400 the way of taxes. And who are the people that 578 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.400 pay for that? People like me and I don't make 579 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:13.160 a billion dollars. So excuse me for hating this mayor. 580 00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:17.680 I can't think of one thing he's done. He's a hateful, 581 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.880 he can't stand Jews, he doesn't like Christians, he wasn't there. 582 00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:26.519 When Archbishop Hicks was installed at Saint Patrick's Cathedral, he 583 00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:31.319 was not there. He has no issue making sure that 584 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.839 you can't celebrate your kid's birthday in a park because 585 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.640 he refuses to add police in and around the time 586 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.079 of the World Cup. But there were no issues with 587 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.920 every Ramadan event that happened in this city for a 588 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.519 damn month. Is that not correct? 589 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.839 Known that is accurate. 590 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:51.240 But I'm supposed to warm up to this guy. You got, 591 00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.000 come on, said give him a chance. He won. I 592 00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.039 don't care if he won. Why Because I'm surrounded by morons. 593 00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.880 I'm the voice of reason in this city, in this state. 594 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.440 Some days I feel like I'm the only one. I 595 00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:04.960 know I'm not, But some days I feel like I'm 596 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.359 the only one I would even consider running for public office. 597 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.079 It's a disaster. Disaster, it's a major pay cut, first 598 00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:16.440 of all. On top of that, they go out of 599 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.359 their way the competition to ruin your life. They really don't. 600 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.200 They go out of the way to ruin your life. 601 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.920 And you gotta deal with these idiots in the city council. 602 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:27.200 They don want to deal with that. Twenty four progressive 603 00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.119 lunatics in the city council. How's that gonna go for me? 604 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:33.640 I don't have a lot of patience. How's that gonna 605 00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.319 go for me? When chi Osay comes up and says 606 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:36.799 something to me? 607 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.319 How's that gonna go? Or these lawmakers? 608 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:40.880 If I've got to go to Albany and deal with 609 00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:44.920 people like Andrea Stewart cousins or call hasty, how's that 610 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:45.359 gonna go? 611 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:45.480 No? 612 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:46.400 Not so great? 613 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:47.839 No, well I would. 614 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.400 He even consider doing something like this? Because we are 615 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.119 ft and not in a good way. No, it's Friday night, 616 00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:01.200 We're aft. This guy is the most dangerous politician in 617 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.960 my lifetime. Well, how about that. That's a big statement. 618 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.119 I just turned fifty nine on Sunday. He's the most 619 00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:13.559 dangerous politician in my lifetime. And the Knicks are down 620 00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.880 two games to one. Now what? 621 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.840 No, it's all downhill man. The Knicks down to to one. 622 00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:21.480 Next games in Atlanta. 623 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:23.239 Did you watch last night's game? 624 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:25.760 You know, I fell asleep, but I could you know 625 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:27.280 see in the first half they. 626 00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.119 Weren't gonna wind right. Some's missing there. I can't figure 627 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.079 out exactly what. 628 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.920 A great team. 629 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.960 Maybe that's it. The bottom line is they're not a 630 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.840 great team. That's the bottom line. So she should be 631 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.360 blowing out the Hawks. It shouldn't be close. 632 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:40.760 They shouldn't be blowing out anybody. Okay, they're not that good. 633 00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:44.800 So they'll limp their way past Atlanta and then they 634 00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:48.400 will get hammered by Boston in the second round. That'll 635 00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:51.760 be it. I'll tell you who the happiest guy in 636 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.000 the world is today, Tom Thibodeau, Remember him, Yeah, that 637 00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:58.039 port Bystard coached the Knicks. They got better every year. 638 00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.599 The last year he coached the Knicks, he was two 639 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.760 games away from the NBA Finals and they fired him 640 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:08.119 to bring in Mike Brown. And Mike Brown comes in 641 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.360 and they're already losing in the first round to an 642 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.119 inferior basketball team. So somewhere Tom Tibdoe's going, how's that 643 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:18.199 going for you, mister dole in, mister what's his name again, 644 00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:22.559 the former agent who runs a Knicks Leon Rose, how's 645 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.119 that going for you? It fired me for Mike Brown. 646 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.760 Brown is struggling round one against the Hawks. I had 647 00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:32.320 this team literally a pubic hair away from the NBA Finals. 648 00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:37.440 Nobody's happier than Tom Tibbodeaux this morning. You know, Helladia, 649 00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:39.880 that's what people do. No, no, no, I want their 650 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:41.960 knicks to win. I coached here. I love New York, 651 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:43.639 I love the Gordon. I want them to win. 652 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:44.440 No, you don't. 653 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.920 You want them to lose every damn game so they 654 00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:50.440 can rule that decision that they got rid of you. 655 00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:56.039 That's being honest. It's like a radio host. Nobody wants 656 00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:59.039 somebody to sit in and get better ratings or no. 657 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:01.920 The fact that when I'm not here the ratings suck. 658 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.079 Love it. You know, you don't want somebody else to succeed. 659 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:07.440 Nobody does. 660 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.920 Morrissey has a song called we hate it when our 661 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:12.039 friends become success. 662 00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.880 Of course, and everybody it's true. But I mean I 663 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:17.880 have friends and I love I'm okay with it. No, 664 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.880 you just admitted it. 665 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:20.679 You know, even my friends. 666 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:25.559 Really there's a tinge that's a little bit amused or 667 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:30.239 happy when uh, you know I would have done that better? 668 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.840 Yeah, maybe, all right, I don't know, especially yeah, I know, yeah, 669 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:36.360 I don't. 670 00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:36.639 Know about that. 671 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:39.840 I've got very successful friends. You know, I don't envy 672 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:44.480 them necessarily. I wish sometimes I was in that same position, 673 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.800 but I'm not. That's called enving. Yeah, I don't know 674 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.280 if you no, But I'm not mad. I'm not like, 675 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.519 oh my god, or you know. I will say this 676 00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:56.800 in the radio business, and you know I say this 677 00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:58.639 all the time. This is nothing new. There's not a 678 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.400 lot of talent. There's not a lot of people on 679 00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:04.920 the radio, a lot of radio stations, a lot of podcasts, 680 00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:09.079 a lot of way to get your audio content all 681 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:13.360 over the world. I don't believe there's a lot of 682 00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.000 talent in this business. There's a lot of people, there's 683 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:20.039 not a lot of talent. Folks just say the same thing. 684 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.239 Over and over and over. 685 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:23.880 And over and over again. 686 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:29.360 Very few people in this business, in my opinion, are compelling, 687 00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.639 and very few are able to create their own content. 688 00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:41.960 We do that, we did that. Don't But I'm serious 689 00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:44.519 when people go, you know, Sid's talking about Mom Donnie 690 00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:49.119 and the curse. That was brilliant. There's just so much 691 00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.559 you can say about Iran. People don't want to hear 692 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:56.400 about this straight of horror moves anymore. Trust me, just 693 00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.639 that they got tired of hearing about that lovely lady, 694 00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.199 God rest her soul, Nancy got I don't want to 695 00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.079 hear it. You got to find a way to keep 696 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:09.719 your audience interested. Be different, and we do that every 697 00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.119 day on this show. We've got great content and we 698 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:18.920 cover everything. We are the most diverse show in the country. 699 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:21.920 How many of the radio hosts, maybe Klay Travis can 700 00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:23.639 do it, I'd have until like Clay's very good, but 701 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:25.000 how many the radio hosts in the country. You can 702 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:26.880 sit here and talk with the President of the United 703 00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:30.079 States and then break down the Mets in Minnesota, Yankees 704 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.719 and Red Sox, Nickson Hawks in the NFL draft like 705 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:37.079 we can't. Nobody Nobody does that, and we're funny. Morning 706 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.760 radio needs to be funny. We got yucks. We got 707 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.239 the best impressionist and the funniest guy on radio in 708 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.199 lu La Fino. And Norman's hilarious. He's a news guy, 709 00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:53.039 but he's hilarious, and Justin's retarded. We play great music 710 00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:58.159 all there's nothing we don't do on this show. So 711 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.920 I do get MBA when I see radio guys or 712 00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:05.480 podcasters making a lot more money than I do when 713 00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:08.039 they're not better. If you really think Joe Rogan is 714 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.880 more talented than I am, you're a moron. You're a moron. 715 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:15.440 Some boar guy sitting there with some stupid comedian going 716 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:17.920 on and on about a bunch of nonsense. Sometimes he's 717 00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:20.880 very very compelling. Sometimes he bores a living daylights out 718 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.159 of me. I'm never boring, never ever. This guy makes 719 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.280 hundreds of millions of dollars hundreds of millions. Am I jealous? Yes, 720 00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.119 I'm jealous because he's not better. I never care when 721 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:35.480 somebody's better than me, at least in the past, and 722 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.519 they made more money, that's fine, you deserve it if 723 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:40.679 you're better. But there's a lot of people in this 724 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:42.599 business who make a lot more money than me and 725 00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.440 they're not better. And yes, lou that light's a flame 726 00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.320 under my ass pisses me off. So stop reminding me 727 00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:55.639 of that, will you. Jesus, it's Friday. What else is 728 00:39:55.679 --> 00:40:00.480 out there? No, No, I'm in a bad mood.

So 736 00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:22.480 This couple's walking their dog in Laurelton Queen's yesterday and 737 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.519 they go past this house that has one of those 738 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:27.079 signs that says, don't let your dog relieve itself here. 739 00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:29.239 You know you've seen those signs, and they. 740 00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:33.280 Do not pep dooty either.

This is yesterday, and the people inside see 746 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.880 that happen, and they see where this couple is going 747 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.639 after that happens. So they come rushing out of their 748 00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:51.800 house yesterday and they go and pee on the dog 749 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:52.719 owner's lawn. 750 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:53.960 Is that right?

And by the way, talking 861 00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:04.719 about the President, I know that you're going to be 862 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:08.800 heading out to the White House Correspondent's dinner tomorrow night. 863 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:10.599 So I was up when Bill O'Reilly he was talking 864 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:13.679 about it yesterday. First one for Trump. Yeah, he'll be 865 00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.119 the first one for Trump. He's never done this, he 866 00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:20.519 set out the last five. He seems excited about it 867 00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:22.639 or not really. How does he see about this big dinner? 868 00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:25.920 Well, I mean, I think the whole staff is there, 869 00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:28.199 the little fandaut I was talking all this four team, 870 00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:31.159 the communications team. They've been invited by different networks to 871 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:32.159 go and. 872 00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:32.480 They have me. 873 00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:35.559 You know, listen, this is his fifth op opportunity, the 874 00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:38.480 first one he's taking. So I just think that he said, 875 00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:40.320 I'm going to make the Moses. I'm going to dominate 876 00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:42.199 this now. I mean he went from the press just 877 00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:44.440 killing him. Every day, they're killing him, but he's I 878 00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:47.400 think she, you know, showed his power. He reorganized the 879 00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:49.719 whole press room. You know, he talks to them three 880 00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.320 or four times a day. He calls him out to 881 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.679 their face, but there's no grudges kept. So I think 882 00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.320 that at this point they all understand each other. And 883 00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:01.719 I think they're so smart not to get a comedian, 884 00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.119 remember the one who mocked Huckaby's weight. They just mercilessly 885 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.320 go after Republicans instead of being, you know, making fun 886 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:13.320 of the press, which you should be doing. So now 887 00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:15.360 you just have this O's I don't know if you 888 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.199 know about him, but this is going to be phenomenal. 889 00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.000 I think they're still debating whether the president should take 890 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:24.199 part in some of his antics. But you know, there's 891 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:26.360 always a risk. You don't want to embarrass the president. 892 00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.559 But os does he do that? Have you've seen him 893 00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.719 on the NFL training camps? What he does? He's always 894 00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.679 featured in hard knocks. So I think that I think 895 00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:38.679 that's good idea. Do some entertainment that doesn't polarize. 896 00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:39.639 Couldn't agree more. 897 00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:41.880 I think it was Seth Meyers who was hosting that 898 00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:45.199 dinner when Trump first won, and President Trump was like, 899 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:48.280 back in twenty seventeen, No thanks, I want to get 900 00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:51.519 to mom, Dottie. It's I mentioned this a little while 901 00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:54.159 ago when I started the show. I did get a 902 00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:58.159 phone call yesterday from the owner of the New York Mets, 903 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:01.400 and we had a great conversation on gonna share all 904 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:03.840 the details. But Steve Cohen and I talked for about 905 00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:06.119 fifteen minutes. In fact, I'll be going to the met 906 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:10.039 Yankee game on May fifteenth with Bill O'Reilly and Cohen 907 00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:12.360 invited me to sit in the suite with him. He 908 00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:15.679 wants to establish, in his words, a great relationship with me. 909 00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:17.920 He wants to talk to me. He's interested. He does 910 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:20.679 believe I speak on behalf of a lot of New Yorkers. 911 00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.239 So that was great with Steve Cohen, but he did 912 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.039 say that, hey, the fact is the mayor in this 913 00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:29.280 city happens to be a very big met ban which 914 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:31.960 is true. He is can't stand Mam Donnie, but he 915 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:35.119 is a met band. But with that said, what a 916 00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.000 day for Mam Donnie yesterday. It does look like some 917 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:41.440 of the people on his side are starting to turn 918 00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:44.199 against him. And the story you sent me last night 919 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:47.840 about Ken Griffin, this is exactly why above and beyond 920 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:50.559 the Jewish stop and all that the cop stuff, this 921 00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.079 is exactly why people are leaving New York and smart 922 00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:56.920 people can't stand this guy when he starts to make 923 00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:00.320 people like Ken Griffin and their second homes all of 924 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:01.760 a sudden something criminal. 925 00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:04.000 Brian gilmead here on the State of New York. 926 00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.559 Yes, so I just love this article, this story, because 927 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:10.719 it's everything that's wrong with the squad, the socialists, the 928 00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:13.920 Bernie Sanders, all these billionaires got to pay their fair share. 929 00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.280 The top twenty five percent play eighty four percent of 930 00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.440 all the taxes. Oh that's not enough. So Ken Griffin says, 931 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.480 I cannot believe you featured me on your stupid video. 932 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:24.920 And he says, listen, I have two hundred and thirty 933 00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:27.719 eight million dollar penhouse. I bought it in New York. 934 00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:31.639 I pay huge taxes on it, and I'm considering he's 935 00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:35.079 considering a Manhattan tower project. He asked me to be 936 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.920 six billion dollars. So it's going to bring thousands of 937 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.800 job jobs to the city. And of course those people 938 00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:43.440 need housing, don't they And those these people go out 939 00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:46.079 to dinner. So this is the e the thing that 940 00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.480 Florida gets in Texas gets. I want. I'll give Ken 941 00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:52.400 Griffin an incentive to come to my city because he 942 00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.559 will use his money to grow the city. And my goodness, 943 00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:58.039 if you make a profit when you come, that's great. 944 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:01.239 And he's saying I might not my six billion dollar 945 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:03.960 projects in New York City. You just mocked me. And 946 00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.639 what is wrong with getting a huge penhouse and not 947 00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.760 using it every day? I mean, since when is that criminal? 948 00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:12.199 So I just thought when he came out and said 949 00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:15.239 a lot of rich people are embarrassed. They're afraid for 950 00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:16.960 people to say, you know, I'm a billionaire. You know, 951 00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:19.960 except for the Trump attitude, Well listen, I worked hard. 952 00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:22.920 This is me. Most don't want their wealth being brought up. 953 00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:25.840 So when you sit in front of his apartment and 954 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:28.239 mock him, he's going to turn around and go, look, 955 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:31.119 this is what what this is. I would be in 956 00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:34.559 your city if it was more affordable. Now you're mocking me, 957 00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.320 I might not bring six billion dollars. And this is 958 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.440 the same guy with a five point four billion dollar 959 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.840 deficit and it blown a hole in his budget. So 960 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.679 at one point did the doors closed it? And as 961 00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:48.800 he say, what did I do? I have to turn 962 00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:51.480 this narrative around or I am going to fail. Do 963 00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:52.599 you think he says that? 964 00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.320 I don't. I think he'd rather blow up and fail. 965 00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:57.960 He was just on with kristin Welcome Meet the Press 966 00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:00.800 courtesy of NBC on Sunday. He was saying, you know what, 967 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:03.559 socialism I believe now more than ever is the right 968 00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:06.719 way to go, and my policies I believe now more 969 00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:07.800 than ever is the right. 970 00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:08.119 Way to go. 971 00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:10.920 So I think he'd rather see the city burn and 972 00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:16.039 go down in flames and fail then actually do something 973 00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:19.519 about it. Because don't forget, even if he fails, odds 974 00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:21.159 are unless I run. 975 00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:22.800 Odds are all seriousness. 976 00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:26.400 He's gonna win again anyway, because New York votes for 977 00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:29.920 people for some reason who want to destroy this city. 978 00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:30.599 It is Friday. 979 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:33.760 We are now just two days away from the Big One, 980 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:37.000 one Nation, ten pm every Sunday night on Box News. 981 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.119 Great show.

Part of the reason why I 1126 00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:19.239 hate this mayor is because he doesn't like the police. 1127 00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:22.239 But Randy Sutton is a great cop, has been a 1128 00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.079 great cop attired now, Lieutenant. And are you still living 1129 00:58:25.159 --> 00:58:27.360 Randy in Las Vegas? I am you are, but you're 1130 00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:28.760 from New Jersey originally. 1131 00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:30.559 I was a cop of New Jersey for ten years 1132 00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:32.920 before I went to Vegas and did twenty four years there. 1133 00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:33.320 Wow. 1134 00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:35.280 So where in Jersey were you? Princeton? 1135 00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:36.800 Ah? 1136 00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:41.320 I was a Princeton Yeah. Now Princeton University you were, no. No, no, no, 1137 00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:43.280 the real town of Princeton that was my hometown. 1138 00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:45.280 Now he was a cop there for ten years, a 1139 00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:49.039 patrolman for six, and a detective for four, and then 1140 00:58:49.079 --> 00:58:51.679 started my career all over again in Vegas, where I 1141 00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:53.920 was no longer bored as a police officer. 1142 00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.559 I'm sure not, because I have to imagine the mean 1143 00:58:56.639 --> 00:59:00.880 streets of Princeton, New Jersey, not exactly Nork, but in Vegas, 1144 00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:04.360 even though it's a lovely area, and those residential areas 1145 00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:07.440 in and around the Strip where you probably lived or live, 1146 00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.320 I should say, or very very nice. I've worked with 1147 00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:12.639 many people over the years in both New York and 1148 00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:14.960 Florida who now live in Vegas, and they love it. 1149 00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:18.119 They love it, but there's a lot of tawdry stuff 1150 00:59:18.239 --> 00:59:21.679 going on in and around that city, which you've seen firsthand. 1151 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:23.039 Weren't you injured at one point? 1152 00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:30.079 I am a survivor of five shootings, five and right, 1153 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.960 So you know what. I left Princeton because I was 1154 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.559 bored as a cop, right, and I was still on 1155 00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:38.199 probation in Vegas when I was in my first shooting 1156 00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:39.760 when a fifteen year. 1157 00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:42.119 Old tried to ambush me. Why would you want probation? 1158 00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:46.079 I was on probation as a brand first start, right, yeah, right, No, 1159 00:59:46.199 --> 00:59:47.119 I wasn't not right. 1160 00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:48.400 What did you do? 1161 00:59:48.719 --> 00:59:50.840 So a fifteen year old kid in Vegas tried to 1162 00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:53.360 kill you? Yes, how did you respond to that? 1163 00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:56.360 I so, I was in a foot pursuit with him, 1164 00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:59.119 was in a stolen car as a gang banger. And 1165 00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:02.239 as I came around the corner of the building that 1166 01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:05.480 I was chasing him, he was laying in wait for me. 1167 01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:07.840 And as I came round, he was pointing his gun 1168 01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:10.440 at me, and he was right next to a building. 1169 01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:13.760 I fired and my bullet zinged right by his ear 1170 01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:15.599 and hit the building behind him in a piece of 1171 01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:17.599 stucco hit him in the head and he thought he 1172 01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:20.559 was shot and he couldn't throw that gun down fast 1173 01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:22.840 at us. Wow, And that's when I realized that you're 1174 01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:24.199 not in Kansas anymore, Todo. 1175 01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:25.920 But in one of. 1176 01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:28.320 These five shootings, if I remember correctly, it's been a 1177 01:00:28.360 --> 01:00:31.039 couple of years since you've been here, you know, sustained 1178 01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:33.239 some some pretty serious injuries. So no, is that? 1179 01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:33.440 Is that? 1180 01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:33.599 Not? 1181 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:33.840 No? 1182 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:38.159 But what ended my police career was I suffered a 1183 01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:43.000 stroke in my police car on Las Vegas Boulevard and 1184 01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:45.639 that was the scariest moment of my life. I literally 1185 01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:49.480 was laying on the pavement, unable to move, unable to talk, 1186 01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:52.679 as tourists are walking by me taking pictures of me 1187 01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.320 laying there helpless in my uniform. 1188 01:00:55.480 --> 01:00:57.679 What happened? Did you find out what happened medically? 1189 01:00:58.000 --> 01:00:58.199 Yeah? 1190 01:00:58.440 --> 01:00:58.639 Yeah. 1191 01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:01.079 So, like I said, I did twenty four years with 1192 01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:03.599 the Las Vegas Metro. I loved it. I loved being 1193 01:01:03.639 --> 01:01:06.320 a cop, you know, at my old entire adult life 1194 01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:07.599 and being a Vegas cop. 1195 01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:07.840 Man. 1196 01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:09.559 It was fun, I got to tell you. But it 1197 01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:13.159 had its challenges. And three weeks before the stroke, my 1198 01:01:13.199 --> 01:01:15.840 mother died in my arms, I'm sorry. Two months before 1199 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.280 that I was in another fatal shooting. So there was 1200 01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:22.159 a lot going on. But I was literally driving down 1201 01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:24.960 Las Vegas Boulevard. I had a young patrol officer with me, 1202 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:27.199 and I'm talking to him like I'm talking to you, 1203 01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:30.360 and suddenly I felt my brain slowing down. I felt it, 1204 01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:33.280 and I started talking slower, and I realized I was 1205 01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.159 having a stroke. So I ran out of the car. 1206 01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:37.639 I said, you know, get me medical. I'm having a stroke. 1207 01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:40.400 And I got out of the car and then collapsed 1208 01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:42.920 to the pavement, speaking gibberish and then unable to speak 1209 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:44.559 and move all together. And I got to tell you, 1210 01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.599 I've been in some frightening stuff, as you might well imagine, 1211 01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:49.320 but I was never more scared than that. I wasn't 1212 01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:52.039 afraid of dying, said, I was afraid of living like that. 1213 01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:55.840 Oh but once again, that that angel that's been on 1214 01:01:55.880 --> 01:01:58.280 my shoulder my entire career was with me again. The 1215 01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.920 clot went through my brain did its damn, And I 1216 01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:02.920 thought I was going to go back to work. And 1217 01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:05.960 then I'm in the hospital for a week. The doctor 1218 01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:08.440 comes in and I'm feeling pretty good. He says, how 1219 01:02:08.480 --> 01:02:10.159 you feeling, Randy, I said, I feel pretty good man, 1220 01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:12.440 ready to go back to work, and he said, I 1221 01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:15.239 have to tell you this. Nothing that we did here 1222 01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:17.079 is going to preclude you from walking out of here 1223 01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:18.960 and having a heart attack or a stroke, because you 1224 01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:21.679 have a very serious heart condition and you need to 1225 01:02:21.719 --> 01:02:25.440 prepare for your own mortality. And I didn't expect that, said, 1226 01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:27.559 and I realized that I was never going to be 1227 01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:28.239 a cop again. 1228 01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.440 How many geys? How long ago was this? I'm sorry? 1229 01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:33.119 This is I did thirty four years total. Now when 1230 01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:34.800 did the cop tell you this? How many years ago? 1231 01:02:35.400 --> 01:02:37.159 I'm sorry? I said again? When did you find out 1232 01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:38.519 this information from the doctor? 1233 01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:38.760 Oh? 1234 01:02:39.079 --> 01:02:41.360 About a week after the How long ago was it? 1235 01:02:41.639 --> 01:02:44.840 Twenty ten? So okay, so he said, you've got a 1236 01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:48.320 SIMI thought condition last night, checked it by mampis pretty good. 1237 01:02:48.360 --> 01:02:49.679 That's sixteen years ago. 1238 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.880 Yeah, I did well, I had. I had quadruple bypass 1239 01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:53.760 surgery a couple of years. 1240 01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:54.280 Oh you did. 1241 01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:56.800 So it's been but you know what, I was given 1242 01:02:56.840 --> 01:02:59.760 a great gift, said, but what happened after my stroke 1243 01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:02.079 is changed the trajectory of my life. That my own 1244 01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:04.480 department turned its back on me and said we're not 1245 01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:06.800 paying your medical bills or not giving you your benefits, 1246 01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:09.320 and I said, wait a minute, you can't do that. 1247 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:13.719 There's there's a law about that. And they actually fought 1248 01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:16.039 me every step of the way. And I got to 1249 01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:21.199 tell you, man, feeling that betrayal really changed the changed 1250 01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:23.719 my life entirely. And I went to go see the sheriff, 1251 01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:25.559 who I worked for for twenty four years. I said, 1252 01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:27.559 how do you treat me like this? He said, Randy, 1253 01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:29.559 it's not personal, it's just business. 1254 01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:33.559 Sounds personal to me, but you don't hate the cops. Yeah, 1255 01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:35.719 it was. It was shocking to me, and they fought 1256 01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:36.519 me every way. 1257 01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:38.960 They spent tens of thousands of dollars a taxpayers money 1258 01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:39.360 to fight me. 1259 01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:40.599 I eventually won. 1260 01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:42.719 They had to give me my benefits, but they ruined 1261 01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.840 my credit and you know the darkness of being betrayed 1262 01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:48.559 like that. So then I don't know if you probably 1263 01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:49.880 might be aware of this, but I was the most 1264 01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:52.800 featured officer on the TV show Cops. I've written a 1265 01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:55.079 number of books and been in the movies like Casino 1266 01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:55.480 and such. 1267 01:03:55.800 --> 01:03:59.840 So cops started reaching out to me from around the country. Randy, 1268 01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:01.679 I know you don't know me, but I was shot 1269 01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:04.920 in the line of duty my chief is abandoned me. Randy, 1270 01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:07.880 I was paralyzed when my police car was hit.

I'll tell you one quick story because it's 1285 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:49.800 a happy ending. I'm not telling any non happy endings 1286 01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:53.519 right now. Police officer in Texas severely injured in the 1287 01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:56.519 line of duty during a fight with a suspect, and 1288 01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:01.639 he was abandoned by his department, lost the ability to walk. 1289 01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:06.199 When we met him.

He was recently really screwed 1297 01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:30.159 over by a court. He was a lieutenant at Richie 1298 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:33.079 Mack And he was the officer who was attacked on 1299 01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:36.400 the bridge during the George Floyd in remember, of course. 1300 01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:40.119 And and they they gave the guy a misdemeanor. They 1301 01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:43.960 gave the suspect the misdemeanor, and talk about and injustice. 1302 01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:46.000 Oh listen, you wouldn't believe what happens in this city. 1303 01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:47.840 We have a story just a couple of weeks old. 1304 01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:50.639 I mentioned his name, Eric Duran. This is a cop 1305 01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:52.880 very familiar with it. You know the whole story, sure do? 1306 01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:53.239 Yeah. 1307 01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:56.320 I mean the guy was stopping a drug dealer traveling 1308 01:05:56.360 --> 01:05:59.760 at high speeds, putting literally three people's lives in danger. 1309 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:03.440 And the prick judge Guy Mitchell in New York gave 1310 01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:05.559 this hero cop three to nine years. 1311 01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:08.719 It's unbelievable. It's but this is this is happening across 1312 01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:11.440 the United States. I mean, my last book, which came 1313 01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:13.760 out six months ago, rescuing nine to one to one, 1314 01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:16.280 the Fight for America's Safety, and I talked about how 1315 01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:18.960 we got here and what we need to do. 1316 01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:20.159 We all need to. 1317 01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:22.960 Become activists, said, and even if that means just going 1318 01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:26.199 to the polls and putting people in positions of authority 1319 01:06:26.199 --> 01:06:28.960 that need to be there, not idiots like Mondamie, who 1320 01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:31.679 is about as anti law enforcement as they get. 1321 01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.079 I can't. I can't stand to see what he's doing 1322 01:06:34.119 --> 01:06:36.559 to this city. Terrible, terrible. You love this city and 1323 01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:40.239 again you weird. You major bones in Princeton, New Jersey. 1324 01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:41.920 Your year often. I mean, you be on this show 1325 01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:43.920 now four or five times. You'll be in this city 1326 01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:47.719 all weekend long. So explain to me this beautiful race call. 1327 01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.760 It's a replica, it's not it's not gonna race at Talladego. 1328 01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:53.360 But explain to me why it's out there. It looks great. 1329 01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:54.360 What's going on with all that? 1330 01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:59.199 So Insurance king Is is owned by Dan Block. Dan 1331 01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:03.320 Fi was a disabled police officer, and so Dan saw 1332 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:05.639 me on Fox News reached out to me. This is 1333 01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:08.119 a number of years ago, been a huge supporter of 1334 01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:11.599 the Wounded Blue ever since. Well, Josh Blicky is the driver, 1335 01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:16.440 and Josh is an amazing driver. Well, Dan Block, who 1336 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:19.079 owns Insurance King, he's the sponsor of this race car 1337 01:07:19.159 --> 01:07:22.159 that's going to be racing in Calladega this weekend. 1338 01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:25.280 So it is racing, but not that specifics specific car. 1339 01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:25.960 It's sister car. 1340 01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:28.840 So what they did is they are adorning their car 1341 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:32.079 with the Wounded Blue colors to bring attention to the 1342 01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:36.639 Wounded Blue and injured officers. And so we have the 1343 01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:40.239 car here. They've put the Wounded Blue logos all over it. 1344 01:07:40.239 --> 01:07:43.320 It is amazing, and so we're celebrating the fact that 1345 01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:47.199 that they're supporting us and everybody who NASCAR, of course fans, 1346 01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:48.280 they love the cops. 1347 01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:51.800 On NASCAR is real Americans, real Americas. They love the cops, 1348 01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:54.400 they love the country, they love Trump, they love all 1349 01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:57.440 the values that we hold near and dear to us, 1350 01:07:57.719 --> 01:08:01.039 not the psychle lunatic democrats who want to destroy all 1351 01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:03.280 of us. So in that respect, I've never been a 1352 01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:06.760 huge NASCAR guy. Covered for many years on CBS, and 1353 01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:08.360 I got to know a lot of the drivers. When 1354 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:11.840 Jeff Gordon was winning those Winston Cup series every year. 1355 01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:14.000 Interviewed him many times. He used to like this guy 1356 01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:16.600 named Dick Trickle. That was his real name, you know. 1357 01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:18.199 But after a while, I can only watch the car 1358 01:08:18.279 --> 01:08:20.319 go on the track so many times, and I'm not 1359 01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:23.880 at any here minimizing the athletic ability of these guys. 1360 01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:27.079 It's amazing. But in terms of just being good people, 1361 01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:29.359 I think of all the sports in the world today, 1362 01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:31.640 NASCAR is number one. I have to agree with you. 1363 01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:34.600 I mean, this is not the first time they've adorned 1364 01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:38.640 their car, but this is the biggest race yet. Mal 1365 01:08:38.720 --> 01:08:42.840 Dega is talent baby, yes, And so millions of people 1366 01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:44.439 are going to see the Wounded Blue. And of course 1367 01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:47.520 raising money is so important. You know, everything that we 1368 01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:51.000 do is everybody's a volunteer except for one person. 1369 01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:53.039 And I don't take a salary. 1370 01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:55.560 I live on my pension, and everything that we do 1371 01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:58.039 is funded by people who care about their police. So 1372 01:08:58.079 --> 01:09:01.279 what we're doing is asking this good Wounded Blue dot org, 1373 01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:03.560 see who we are, see what we do. We're asking 1374 01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:06.119 for people to donate nine dollars and eleven cents a month, 1375 01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:08.840 and what we say is this, when you need help, 1376 01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:11.960 you call nine one one, But when the police need help, 1377 01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:13.239 they call the wounded Blue. 1378 01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:15.279 That's awesome. God, bless you. I made that up, but 1379 01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:15.880 I love that. 1380 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:17.399 I can't he chills just now. 1381 01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:20.399 God, I got chills. You may want to ask the 1382 01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:24.319 newest Las Vegas resident. He was picked number one overall 1383 01:09:24.399 --> 01:09:28.199 last night by your football team, the Raiders, for Nando Mendozo, 1384 01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:30.800 who won the Heisman Trophy and the national championship. But 1385 01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:33.960 Indiana hit him up for donation one of these days 1386 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:37.479 because he's about to make a lot of money. You 1387 01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:39.119 got his number. I'll give him a call right now. 1388 01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:39.920 I'll got it. 1389 01:09:40.079 --> 01:09:40.359 Randy. 1390 01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:42.439 It's great to see you.

They said it was 1418 01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:54.079 wacky when a TV show host of a reality show 1419 01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:57.119 was running for president. They said it was wacky when 1420 01:10:57.119 --> 01:11:00.960 a superaction hero was running for government state of California, 1421 01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:03.279 or an actor which running for governor in the state 1422 01:11:03.319 --> 01:11:06.239 of California, or a rapper was running for mayor in 1423 01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:08.880 New York. That's why I keep saying to you I 1424 01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:11.319 got to run from mayor in twenty twenty nine because 1425 01:11:11.560 --> 01:11:13.239 this guy is going to kill. 1426 01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:15.199 All of us, Sid, Would you please do it?

This is 1430 01:11:23.720 --> 01:11:26.840 the greatest city on earth. I mean this. I mean 1431 01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:29.039 figure out how many people have been made by New York. 1432 01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:31.279 You could argue Donald Trump would not be in the 1433 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:33.760 White House right now had it not been for the 1434 01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:36.520 city of New York. He changed the skyline, but it 1435 01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:38.479 changed him and it made him into the person he 1436 01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:41.119 is today, the greatest president this country has ever seen. 1437 01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:43.600 We have to have that city come back, and we 1438 01:11:43.640 --> 01:11:45.880 need somebody who understands how to do it.

Corey Booker. That's no 1456 01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:41.720 ooame's guy. He loves Corey Booker. Cy's a big deal 1457 01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:45.039 in New Jersey, very very popular. Hasn't done a damn 1458 01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:48.640 thing nothing, takes a lot of money from Wall Street. 1459 01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:50.680 And remember that day when he spoke for like twenty 1460 01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:53.800 seven consecutive hours. No, do you remember one thing he said? 1461 01:12:53.840 --> 01:12:55.199 It for twenty seven hours. 1462 01:12:54.960 --> 01:12:57.199 But it was incredible, it was unbelievable. 1463 01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:01.239 Right now he's at jerkoff Corey and Alex a Dan 1464 01:13:01.359 --> 01:13:05.600 stands for everything, right. He's a big Trump supporter, very 1465 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:08.479 pro Israel. I love that about Alex. And of course 1466 01:13:08.520 --> 01:13:11.800 he is at the very head of the MAHA movement, 1467 01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:17.199 which I've become very enthusiastic about the last couple of 1468 01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:19.600 months on this show, you guys have heard a whole 1469 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:24.199 bunch of guests diving right in whether it's medical freedom, 1470 01:13:24.479 --> 01:13:29.760 religious freedom, issues with the vaccines right now. Poor Bobby Kennedy, 1471 01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:33.079 my guy, Bobby got grilled yesterday on the Hill about 1472 01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:36.000 this measles outbreak. We're doing a good job here. He 1473 01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:39.079 pointed out all the other countries in Europe and other 1474 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.920 places around the world where the percentages are way higher. 1475 01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:46.239 Bobby's doing a great job with that movement. So we 1476 01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:50.000 had this great event last night, and Jackie Tobacco happens 1477 01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:52.479 to be the cousin of Johnny Tobacco. She did a 1478 01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:55.840 tremendous job. And Victoria Capish, he's been on this show 1479 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:58.560 a bunch of times, she was here last night, did 1480 01:13:58.560 --> 01:14:03.159 a terrific job. The whole committee, Cara all did terrific work, 1481 01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:06.000 Eatie and it was a lovely event. I tell you 1482 01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:08.760 who spoke well. I liked a lot. Besides Alex obviously 1483 01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:11.520 is a senator from New Jersey. I'm not sure if 1484 01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:14.199 you know him, know him? That's your state. Michael Testa, 1485 01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:16.479 you know him, do not know Mike Testa. He was 1486 01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:19.760 really impressive last night and Alexandre Bauer. She's been in 1487 01:14:19.840 --> 01:14:23.399 studio Scott Lobatos, Buddy Blonde Girl on Box News quite 1488 01:14:23.439 --> 01:14:25.680 a bit. So all in all, it was a hugely 1489 01:14:25.720 --> 01:14:30.199 successful event last night, and Alexa Dan will hopefully have 1490 01:14:30.239 --> 01:14:32.760 the opportunity to take on Corey Booker November. Of course, 1491 01:14:32.760 --> 01:14:35.079 he's got to win the primary person. I believe there 1492 01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:38.920 is about three men running for that Republican spot for 1493 01:14:39.079 --> 01:14:42.279 that Senate seat, so we'll see come June. But to me, 1494 01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:45.760 he is the most impressive. He's just a smart guy. Again, 1495 01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:48.399 he's on all the right side of all the issues, 1496 01:14:48.960 --> 01:14:51.399 and I love the guy. So thank you to alex 1497 01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:54.800 A Dan and his crew last night again beautiful venue, 1498 01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:58.880 Trump National and Coltneck. And we move forward. I'm trying 1499 01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:00.800 to get as many Republicans to win. You know that, 1500 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.640 norm I show up at a lot of events. They're 1501 01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:06.840 not the favorites these people. I understand that, and we 1502 01:15:06.880 --> 01:15:09.960 talked about that last night. They're not the favorites. That 1503 01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:13.159 doesn't mean I won't show up because I feel like 1504 01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:16.000 it's my job at this point to help every Republican 1505 01:15:16.079 --> 01:15:19.800 win in every spot that I can help. And being that, 1506 01:15:19.800 --> 01:15:25.159 I'm immensely popular and very cute. I show up, you know, 1507 01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:27.479 extra cute. I would say yeah, and the people going 1508 01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:30.720 not say love it? You know, So I MC last night. 1509 01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:32.479 I spoke last night and it was a lot of fun. 1510 01:15:32.600 --> 01:15:34.079 I would take a break. We got a lot more 1511 01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:37.840 guest stopping by this one I'm fascinated by. Her name 1512 01:15:37.880 --> 01:15:41.800 is Blair White. She's a very famous transgender. She's on 1513 01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:45.680 box News all the time. She is the conservative voice. 1514 01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:51.000 But I guess much like Caitlin Jenner, she's cool. She 1515 01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:56.600 understands the issues with the community, the problems with the community, 1516 01:15:57.359 --> 01:16:00.840 and she's actually on our side. So she's here with 1517 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.119 my friend Adam Weiss, but also talked to Kat McFarland, 1518 01:16:04.319 --> 01:16:08.319 Joseph Tacopinat, Scott Lobato, and Stephen A. Smith. How did 1519 01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:11.000 the Giants do with their two picks in the first 1520 01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:14.079 round last night? How did the Jets do with their 1521 01:16:14.199 --> 01:16:16.880 three picks in the first round last night? And what 1522 01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:19.199 did the Knicks have in stored? With the Game four 1523 01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:22.720 in Atlanta coming up tomorrow? All that still a coup 1524 01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:28.239 on the body edition of Sitting Friends If the Port by. 1525 01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:31.399 Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple 1526 01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:32.640 Podcast Network. 1527 01:16:33.640 --> 01:16:35.800 How long are you willing to wait until you get a. 1528 01:16:36.760 --> 01:16:40.199 Don't rush me, Jeff. You know guys like you want 1529 01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:40.479 to say. 1530 01:16:41.359 --> 01:16:41.479 So. 1531 01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:43.840 We were in Vietnam like for eighteen years. We're in 1532 01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:47.520 Iraq for many, many years. We're in for all the 1533 01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:49.600 I don't like to say World War two because that 1534 01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:51.880 was a biggie, but we were four and a half 1535 01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:54.920 almost five years in World War Two. We were in 1536 01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:58.199 the Korean War for seven years. I've been doing this 1537 01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:04.000 for six weeks and their military is totally defeated. They're 1538 01:17:05.279 --> 01:17:08.840 outside of the little wise sky ships. I call them 1539 01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:11.039 the wise Skuy ships, the little boats that they have 1540 01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:15.079 running around with guns in them. We'll take them out 1541 01:17:15.079 --> 01:17:18.640 too when we see him. But their navy is gone, 1542 01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:22.640 their air force is gone, their anti aircraft is gone. 1543 01:17:22.760 --> 01:17:25.720 All of their anti aircraft machinery has gone. Maybe they 1544 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:28.600 loaded up a little bit during the two week hiatus, 1545 01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:30.760 but we'll knock that out in about one day. If 1546 01:17:30.760 --> 01:17:34.640 they did, we've done an amazing job. Their leaders are gone. 1547 01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:36.079 Leaders are all gone. 1548 01:17:37.319 --> 01:17:40.840 President Trump says, don't bust me, leave me alone, like 1549 01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:44.560 we said. Vietnam eighteen years, World War two, five years, 1550 01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:48.199 six years of the Korean War, Iraq, Afghanistan forever. I've 1551 01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:51.680 been doing this for six weeks, six weeks. I got 1552 01:17:51.680 --> 01:17:53.279 one more I want to play before I get to 1553 01:17:53.399 --> 01:17:59.359 the great k t Mcfalland he also discussed yesterday the possibility, 1554 01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:04.600 if not probability, of a nuclear holocaust with those no 1555 01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:08.439 good bastards in Europe. They've all turned their backs on us, 1556 01:18:08.520 --> 01:18:10.560 all of them. We'll get them in the end. This 1557 01:18:10.640 --> 01:18:14.640 is President Trump talking about that possibility. Lewis cut number twelve. 1558 01:18:16.079 --> 01:18:18.800 I think that there's nothing worse than a nuclear weapon 1559 01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:20.560 that takes out one of your cities, or two of 1560 01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:23.279 your cities, or three. I think there's nothing worse than 1561 01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:25.600 a nuclear weapon that's going to destroy the Middle East, 1562 01:18:25.640 --> 01:18:30.119 including Israel. I think there's nothing worse than Europe being 1563 01:18:30.199 --> 01:18:33.960 under attacked by people that have missiles now that reach Europe. 1564 01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:36.279 As you know, they don't reach Ust, but they reach Europe. 1565 01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:39.239 But they will reach us it sometime probably they're not 1566 01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:42.239 too distant future. Unless we stop them now. I think 1567 01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:49.239 there would be nothing worse than having nuclear holocaust in Europe. London, Paris, 1568 01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:56.439 various places in Germany all targeted. Now what I what 1569 01:18:56.479 --> 01:18:58.960 I say is you can't let them have I don't 1570 01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:00.880 think it will happen by the I really think we 1571 01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:04.800 actually it turns out that we are drill, baby, drill, 1572 01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:07.520 and it turns out we're producing got a lot of oil, 1573 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:09.640 and they're buying the oil. They're going to Alaska, they're 1574 01:19:09.920 --> 01:19:13.960 going to Texas, Louisiana, and our guys have done a 1575 01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:16.840 fantastic job. We're putting out right now more oil and 1576 01:19:16.920 --> 01:19:19.159 gas than we ever have in the history of our country. 1577 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:22.840 And one other thing, there are more people employed today 1578 01:19:22.840 --> 01:19:25.159 in the United States than ever in the history of 1579 01:19:25.159 --> 01:19:25.800 our country. 1580 01:19:26.760 --> 01:19:29.640 There he is President Trump yesterday, So we're going to 1581 01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:33.319 talk to Blair White and Adam Weis's after Kat. And then, 1582 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:37.199 like I said, Joe Takapinus got Lobato, the brilliant sports 1583 01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:39.800 voice of Stephen A. Smith. But I want to read 1584 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:40.399 this to kt. 1585 01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:40.880 KT. 1586 01:19:41.039 --> 01:19:44.600 Of course, that's worked for for presidents over her legendary career, 1587 01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:48.520 most recently President Trump. She's on Fox News multiple times 1588 01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:51.720 a week, and she is an amazing guest with us 1589 01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:55.520 every Friday. So I don't name names often sometimes I do, 1590 01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:58.520 but this time I'm not going to KT. But somebody 1591 01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:02.720 who I respect a lot sent me this text from 1592 01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:06.239 the Pentagon. This person was actually in the Pentagon when 1593 01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:08.319 I received this text a couple of days ago. Now 1594 01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:11.560 you know that I was behind this war one hundred 1595 01:20:11.560 --> 01:20:15.680 percent and still am. Anybody who says this war is 1596 01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:18.560 not a necessity doesn't know what they're talking about. Okay, 1597 01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:22.600 it is unnecessity, and we didn't start it. For you 1598 01:20:22.720 --> 01:20:25.239 folks that are complaining, I thought Trump was America first. 1599 01:20:25.319 --> 01:20:29.079 He is. Iran started this war forty seven years ago, 1600 01:20:29.319 --> 01:20:32.279 and six or seven presidents promised that we'd do something 1601 01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:35.399 about it, and they didn't do anything. So President Trump decided, 1602 01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:38.359 I'm going to be the guy to fix it. And 1603 01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:41.520 it's not easy. It's a big country, ninety million people, 1604 01:20:41.720 --> 01:20:44.359 and they hate us. So I'm all for it, okay, 1605 01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:49.800 But I'm also saying, with every ceasefire, with every stoppage, 1606 01:20:50.640 --> 01:20:54.840 Americans care less and less, and Americans are not believing 1607 01:20:54.960 --> 01:20:58.000 that we are winning. That's just my opinion. So here's 1608 01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:02.119 a text that I got Kato the war, Iran did 1609 01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:06.680 not control the Strait of Hormuz. Now it does. Iran 1610 01:21:06.760 --> 01:21:11.560 oil was sanctioned. Now it's not. Iran was not really 1611 01:21:11.600 --> 01:21:15.479 building a nuclear weapon, according to the Pentagon Intelligence Agency. 1612 01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:17.039 Now they will. 1613 01:21:17.680 --> 01:21:22.119 The US bases and the Gulf were assets, now the liabilities. 1614 01:21:22.199 --> 01:21:25.479 And everyone is laughing at us because the truth is 1615 01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:28.479 the reason why the President of United States keeps stopping 1616 01:21:28.520 --> 01:21:34.159 and going is because we are stuck. NBC has reported 1617 01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:37.479 the last two days that Hextath is not being truthful either, 1618 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:41.840 and that Iran has a lot more weaponry than we 1619 01:21:41.920 --> 01:21:45.880 are telling the fine folks in America your thoughts on 1620 01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:47.039 some of these criticisms. 1621 01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:52.159 So they're all wrong, they're all dead wrong. I mean, 1622 01:21:52.359 --> 01:21:56.359 Iran wasn't getting close to having a nuclear weapon. Iran 1623 01:21:56.439 --> 01:21:58.840 has had one goal for forty seven years to have 1624 01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:01.760 a nuclear weapon. And if you look at what they're 1625 01:22:01.760 --> 01:22:05.640 doing now and how they're holding the world hostage. When 1626 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:07.600 people say, well, they didn't control the straight of arm 1627 01:22:07.800 --> 01:22:10.239 absolutely they could have turned nothing on and off anytime 1628 01:22:10.279 --> 01:22:12.720 they wanted. When I was working for President of ring It, 1629 01:22:12.840 --> 01:22:14.680 they tried to stop. They'd tried to close down the 1630 01:22:14.680 --> 01:22:17.960 Strait of Hormouse. We shopped some ships out of the water, 1631 01:22:18.079 --> 01:22:21.319 and then they went back to their caves. So all 1632 01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:25.600 every one of those points is actually incorrect. And the 1633 01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:28.279 thing that I guess is reinforced to me the necessity 1634 01:22:28.279 --> 01:22:30.960 of doing what President Trump did at the eleventh hour, 1635 01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:33.560 is that look at what Iran is willing to do 1636 01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:38.640 now with the world, world trade countries are going to 1637 01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:43.000 go into economic tailspims. Why because a bunch of a 1638 01:22:43.039 --> 01:22:46.760 military dictatorship, which is what it is, a military dictatorship 1639 01:22:46.760 --> 01:22:50.000 in Iran, wants to have nuclear weapons and they're willing 1640 01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:54.680 to put the whole world in chaos, economic chaos in 1641 01:22:54.760 --> 01:22:57.359 order to do that. And can you imagine what a 1642 01:22:57.359 --> 01:23:01.680 country like that would do. A bang of dictators will 1643 01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:04.680 do if they actually had nuclear weapons, they would use them, 1644 01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:09.359 they would blackmail the world for whatever reason they wanted 1645 01:23:09.399 --> 01:23:12.600 to blackmail the world, for whatever purpose came into their heads. 1646 01:23:12.640 --> 01:23:15.399 So the necessity of doing this, and doing this now, 1647 01:23:15.439 --> 01:23:20.000 and doing this very surgically, I think is pretty amazing. 1648 01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:22.000 And when people say, well President Trump doesn't know what 1649 01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:24.399 he's doing, come on, guys, I mean, you guys are 1650 01:23:24.439 --> 01:23:28.000 so far behind you think you're ahead. He set out 1651 01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:30.279 to do this on day one of his first term, 1652 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:33.560 when he realized that he needed peace between Israel and 1653 01:23:33.600 --> 01:23:37.520 the Golf Arabs, he crafted the Abraham Accords. What that 1654 01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:41.000 did was take Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and all 1655 01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:43.640 those countries which either sat on the sidelines of any 1656 01:23:43.760 --> 01:23:48.000 Israeli conflict in the region or cheered and worked against Israel. 1657 01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:52.960 Now they're fighting with Israel against Iran. President Trump drill 1658 01:23:53.039 --> 01:23:55.199 baby drills. He just mentioned in the clip that you 1659 01:23:55.279 --> 01:23:59.319 paid played. That meant that world oil prices went down 1660 01:23:59.359 --> 01:24:02.479 because America Oil came into the mix. What did that do? 1661 01:24:02.760 --> 01:24:07.479 Bankrupted Iran? Iran's only source of income is oil exports. 1662 01:24:07.880 --> 01:24:11.560 And then finally, what's happened in the last several weeks 1663 01:24:11.640 --> 01:24:15.000 is degrading Iran's military, killing their first, second, and third 1664 01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:19.399 tier of leaders, destroying their command and control, their army, 1665 01:24:19.479 --> 01:24:23.199 their navy, their air force, the proxies. All of this 1666 01:24:23.319 --> 01:24:27.119 put into place the final move in the chessboard. We 1667 01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:29.520 knew that they were shut down the Strait, as I said, 1668 01:24:29.560 --> 01:24:32.159 they've done it before, but we also knew we had 1669 01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:34.720 one more move after they shut down the Strait, which 1670 01:24:34.760 --> 01:24:37.239 is a blockade. We could never have done a blockade 1671 01:24:37.399 --> 01:24:40.239 unless we already had all of those military assets in 1672 01:24:40.279 --> 01:24:42.920 the region. And now we sit back and wait. I 1673 01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.439 don't think we wait for long, but we wait for 1674 01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:50.720 them to either come have some pramatic negotiations or we 1675 01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:52.920 wait for their economy to completely collapse. 1676 01:24:53.880 --> 01:24:55.319 I don't disagree with that you just said. 1677 01:24:55.319 --> 01:24:57.359 I would just say that, you know my frustration. 1678 01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:03.039 Seventeen days ago, seventeen days ago, President Trump was about 1679 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:08.000 to unleash hell on that civilization, and we've got like 1680 01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:10.880 two seasfires since. And I think you may be mad 1681 01:25:10.920 --> 01:25:13.119 at me. I don't know. These people tell me you're crazy, 1682 01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:16.880 stop at Morgo Morton, but I have been pretty outspoken 1683 01:25:16.920 --> 01:25:18.840 that I'm tired of the ceasefires. Do what you say 1684 01:25:18.880 --> 01:25:22.239 you're gonna do. I'm sorry because I've got people who 1685 01:25:22.319 --> 01:25:24.159 love him like I do, like you do, love him 1686 01:25:24.159 --> 01:25:26.560 to death. We don't want anybody else in that seat. 1687 01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:29.199 I'm not critical of the president where I'm saying he 1688 01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:31.319 shouldn't be. I mean, he's the best. He's the best 1689 01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:33.319 in my lifetime, and thank god he's there. I don't 1690 01:25:33.319 --> 01:25:35.000 want him to ever leave. I'm going to cry the 1691 01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:39.640 day he leaves. But I'm getting tired of the ceasefires. 1692 01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:43.199 You know, you keep threatening people, and you keep threatening people, 1693 01:25:43.239 --> 01:25:46.239 and you don't do it, and eventually the Iranians who 1694 01:25:46.239 --> 01:25:49.359 don't care anyway, they're not intimidated by any of Trump's threats, 1695 01:25:49.680 --> 01:25:52.880 they're gonna start laughing back. So that's my frustration here. 1696 01:25:52.920 --> 01:25:56.760 Everything you said is fine, that's all great, but these 1697 01:25:56.880 --> 01:26:01.479 constant not today, maybe tomorrow, maybe four days, maybe ten days, 1698 01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:04.319 maybe two weeks. He doesn't want to be rushed, but 1699 01:26:04.399 --> 01:26:06.960 he's promising the American people one thing on one day, 1700 01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:09.720 and that it's another story on the next. That part 1701 01:26:09.720 --> 01:26:10.800 you have to understand. 1702 01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:14.359 Sure, there are two ways to kill a snake. You 1703 01:26:14.359 --> 01:26:16.680 can cut off his head where you can starve him 1704 01:26:16.680 --> 01:26:20.439 in the cage, and then Iran is now in a cage. 1705 01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:23.479 The cage is the blockade. So here's let me just 1706 01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:26.199 go through the economic steps as the Sexuary Treasury has 1707 01:26:26.199 --> 01:26:28.720 talked about them. The economic steps that now are half 1708 01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:32.880 have started to happen. So Iran is losing half billion 1709 01:26:32.960 --> 01:26:35.760 dollars a day in revenue. They're not getting their oil 1710 01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:39.479 revenue because the tankers aren't full of oil. The tankers 1711 01:26:39.479 --> 01:26:42.960 are not getting past the blockade. They're not getting consumer 1712 01:26:43.000 --> 01:26:46.680 goods into Iran because any ships on their way to 1713 01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:49.439 Iran or are not getting through the blockade. So the 1714 01:26:49.479 --> 01:26:53.159 blockade is preventing only ships going to and from Iran, 1715 01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:55.560 not anybody else's ships. But just to and from Iran, 1716 01:26:56.159 --> 01:27:00.000 and so Iran may have some revenues that they could, 1717 01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:03.680 like a reserve that they could use. The problem is, 1718 01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:06.000 thanks to Donald Trump, the problem for Iran is that 1719 01:27:06.039 --> 01:27:08.600 all of those assets are frozen in foreign banks, so 1720 01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:11.880 they cannot access them. So they're getting no revenue, they're 1721 01:27:11.880 --> 01:27:15.920 getting no consumer goods. The inflation rate is by the 1722 01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:20.560 day is clicking up, and within about you know, period 1723 01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:23.039 of time, not too long a period of time, Iran 1724 01:27:23.159 --> 01:27:25.279 is not going to have any income to pay the weapon, 1725 01:27:25.319 --> 01:27:27.880 to pay their military, to do all the things that 1726 01:27:27.920 --> 01:27:31.039 their government needs to do to function. Added on top 1727 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.319 of that is the way oil works oil because you 1728 01:27:34.359 --> 01:27:36.720 know oil wells, they pump the stuff out of the ground, 1729 01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:40.720 puts it in a pipeline, goes to Carbon Island, and 1730 01:27:40.760 --> 01:27:44.359 then the pipeline puts the oil into empty tankers. The 1731 01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:46.840 tankers fill up and go on their merry way, usually 1732 01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:49.479 to China. They're not doing none of that's happening now 1733 01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:52.359 because the tankers, empty tankers are not getting into Iran. 1734 01:27:52.720 --> 01:27:56.159 Full tankers, they're not getting past the blockade. So what's 1735 01:27:56.199 --> 01:27:59.640 happening is that the oil wells are backing up. You 1736 01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:03.399 can just flip a switch and turn off the pipeline. 1737 01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:06.239 You can't just flip a switch and turn off the 1738 01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:10.319 well without doing enormous damage to the well, probably permanent 1739 01:28:10.399 --> 01:28:13.960 damage to the well. So within a short period of time, 1740 01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:17.119 starving the snake, Iran is going to have no income 1741 01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:21.000 and no prospects because in a post war run, the 1742 01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:24.199 way they would rebuild their country is the revenue they 1743 01:28:24.239 --> 01:28:27.760 would get sanctions were lifted and they could produce oil again. 1744 01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:28.479 They won't be. 1745 01:28:28.439 --> 01:28:30.880 Able to produce oil if all those oil wells are flooded. 1746 01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:33.199 I mean, think about a sink. You've got a clog 1747 01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:36.359 drain and the faucet keeps going. You can't turn the 1748 01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:39.439 faucet off, and what havoc does that wreak on your 1749 01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:41.840 sink and on your kitchen. That's what could happen to 1750 01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:43.840 a run. And that's what could happen to a run. 1751 01:28:43.920 --> 01:28:48.720 Most experts believe that the storage capacity excess capacity to 1752 01:28:48.760 --> 01:28:51.279 absorb all that ex or oil in the pipeline is 1753 01:28:52.479 --> 01:28:56.319 one two weeks. Nobody thinks it's three months. The estimates 1754 01:28:56.319 --> 01:28:58.560 are that it's a couple of weeks. So when President 1755 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:01.439 Trump is saying I've got all the time in the world. 1756 01:29:01.600 --> 01:29:04.680 What he knows is that the clock is ticking for Iran. 1757 01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:07.840 You know, President Trump has six months to three faces 1758 01:29:07.880 --> 01:29:11.479 the voters. Iran probably doesn't have six weeks, probably doesn't 1759 01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:14.520 even have six days that they can survive without income. 1760 01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:16.600 Well, he has six months before the election. But you 1761 01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:18.520 don't want to some people making up their mind today 1762 01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:20.600 that I'm not going with a Republican. I mean it's 1763 01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:22.680 not He has six months of the election, but he's 1764 01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:25.800 in danger of losing people because I just got a text, 1765 01:29:25.840 --> 01:29:29.039 for example, from a guy that's served in Iraq, served 1766 01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:32.640 in Afghanistan, served in Kuwait, dragged people out of a 1767 01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:34.840 burning building on nine to eleven. One guy did all that. 1768 01:29:34.960 --> 01:29:37.079 His name is Thomas Sullivan. He's unning through us in Queens. 1769 01:29:37.119 --> 01:29:41.319 He's a wonderful guy. He said, no more ceasefires. What 1770 01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:45.760 he wants to see is unconditional surrender. And he loves Trump. 1771 01:29:45.920 --> 01:29:48.560 So we don't have six months. If this thing ends 1772 01:29:48.600 --> 01:29:51.159 in six months, it's going to be too little, too late. 1773 01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:53.039 He needs to figure out a way to end this 1774 01:29:53.199 --> 01:29:56.479 way before that and start to fix some of these 1775 01:29:56.560 --> 01:29:59.720 economic issues. We're gonna have our asses handed to us 1776 01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:02.000 come November. That's the bottom line. 1777 01:30:03.760 --> 01:30:06.439 I guess I would disagree because if President Trump pulls 1778 01:30:06.560 --> 01:30:10.199 US off in three months and the economy US economy 1779 01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:13.319 will immediately start turning around, He'll be hailed as a 1780 01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:16.439 great a great wise leader, and a great vic that's 1781 01:30:16.439 --> 01:30:17.439 saved America, I hope. 1782 01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:19.039 So you know I want that more than anybody. 1783 01:30:19.079 --> 01:30:19.399 You know that. 1784 01:30:19.520 --> 01:30:22.800 But yeah, and I love them, But I'm I talk 1785 01:30:22.840 --> 01:30:25.399 to a lot of people, go to a lot of events, 1786 01:30:25.520 --> 01:30:28.000 and try to help out a lot of Republicans in 1787 01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:31.039 all these states, and they're very, very nervous. But I 1788 01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:34.000 did like what I heard from Mike Huckabee yesterday. I 1789 01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:36.720 were ambassador to Israel and I had the cut, but 1790 01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:39.000 we can't seem to find it. But he talked about 1791 01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:42.800 the seafire between Israel and Lebanon Lebanon, and he said, listen, 1792 01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:45.880 the people of Lebanon and the people of Israel on neighbors. 1793 01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:48.920 And by the way, I've got two friends defensive yours too, 1794 01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:53.319 some of the most beautiful people Lebanese, one being Joseph A. Bood, 1795 01:30:53.319 --> 01:30:55.960 who I think is the greatest men's fashion designer ever. 1796 01:30:56.079 --> 01:30:59.479 The other being a US attorney in Washington, DC, Jean Piero. 1797 01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:02.319 These are great Lebanese people. They love Israel. They got 1798 01:31:02.399 --> 01:31:06.079 no issue with the Jews. The problem is Hasbola, and 1799 01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:07.880 Israel is going to do whatever they have to do 1800 01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:10.680 to wipe those mother Epras out. That's it. 1801 01:31:12.279 --> 01:31:15.319 Yeah, And the Lebanese government has now agreed with Israel, 1802 01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:18.000 and you know, people are even paying attentions. It's just 1803 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:20.560 like a little piece agreement, right, the ceasefire agreement that 1804 01:31:20.920 --> 01:31:23.800 happened to sign yesterday between Israel and Lebanon in the 1805 01:31:23.880 --> 01:31:28.079 Oval Office, with the President extending the ceasefire for three weeks, 1806 01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:31.199 with the idea that it'll probably become permanent. And you 1807 01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.840 have the leaders of Israel and the leaders of Lebanon saying, 1808 01:31:34.960 --> 01:31:37.960 we agree that the scourge with the problem is not 1809 01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:41.640 between the Jews and the Lebanese. The problem is between 1810 01:31:42.159 --> 01:31:46.399 the two of us and Hesbelah and Hesbelah with the 1811 01:31:46.760 --> 01:31:54.239 golden shining example of Iranian Iranian ambitions and Iranian lethality 1812 01:31:54.279 --> 01:31:57.600 and Iranian evil, and that's what's being wiped out. The 1813 01:31:57.680 --> 01:31:59.880 fact that they could have this kind of an agreement 1814 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:05.079 now with the potential of wiping out is largely because 1815 01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:07.800 of what Israel's down already but it's also because it 1816 01:32:07.840 --> 01:32:10.439 has belas not being funded anymore, because Iran doesn't have 1817 01:32:10.520 --> 01:32:13.199 the money. I always think, you know how, the money 1818 01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:16.000 is usually a pretty good plan when you're looking at 1819 01:32:16.039 --> 01:32:17.000 your political event. 1820 01:32:17.399 --> 01:32:21.159 Always always the case. Well, that was a unbelievable conversation. 1821 01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:23.800 You're brilliant, you know things that no one else knows. 1822 01:32:24.159 --> 01:32:26.560 It's all you're so great on this show every Friday. Really, 1823 01:32:26.680 --> 01:32:29.479 kat that was a spectacular job today, sweetheart.

Boy, she is terrific here every Friday, and 1828 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:37.960 you'll see her all week long on Box News. And 1829 01:32:38.439 --> 01:32:41.680 she knows her stuff. She's been in those rooms, those 1830 01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:45.239 strategy rooms with four different presidents too, that I think 1831 01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:47.359 we all agree are pretty good, right, Monald Reagan and 1832 01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:48.119 President Trump. 1833 01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:48.520 My bed. 1834 01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:51.720 So Katy mcfallan is with us every Friday. We'll take 1835 01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:54.399 a break. A lot more to do again. Scott Lobato 1836 01:32:54.560 --> 01:32:58.000 usually here Wednesday. But the relentless patriot, the brilliant artist, 1837 01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:00.880 the troublemaker, I love him. I'll be here today in 1838 01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.680 the nine o'clock hour. Defense attorney, my dear friend of 1839 01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:07.159 forty eight years mister Army these days too. He knows 1840 01:33:07.159 --> 01:33:10.399 a lot about this war as well. Joseph Takapina, the 1841 01:33:10.600 --> 01:33:13.000 voice in the face of sports. I believe he's the 1842 01:33:13.079 --> 01:33:18.199 guy now in this country. ESPN Superstar and still still 1843 01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:22.920 considering a twenty twenty eight presidential run. Stephen A. Smith. 1844 01:33:22.960 --> 01:33:26.560 Everybody loves Steve. And we'll also talk to Blair White, 1845 01:33:27.279 --> 01:33:31.039 who I believe is the biggest conservative transgender in the country. 1846 01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:35.039 Today promises to be a fascinating conversation with Blair White 1847 01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:38.600 and Adam Weiss. All that just today. You're not going anywhere, folks, 1848 01:33:38.760 --> 01:33:39.680 I'm coming right back. 1849 01:33:40.399 --> 01:33:43.960 Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple 1850 01:33:44.119 --> 01:33:45.199 Podcast Network. 1851 01:33:46.199 --> 01:33:49.920 Recently, I had my passport. I had to get it renewed. 1852 01:33:50.760 --> 01:33:58.119 I sent it back comes back. Gender marker m screws 1853 01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:03.159 everything up, so there's a form in there. If they 1854 01:34:03.239 --> 01:34:05.760 made a mistake, you can. 1855 01:34:07.920 --> 01:34:08.359 Correct it. 1856 01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:10.439 So I fill out all the proper forms. I'm not 1857 01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:12.760 calling anybody. I'm not calling the president. You know, I 1858 01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:15.039 got his personal cell number. I'm not calling anybody. I'm 1859 01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:17.319 gonna see if I can fix this myself, because it's 1860 01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:20.720 not just about me, It's about all people in this situation. 1861 01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:22.079 You know. 1862 01:34:23.159 --> 01:34:27.960 So I even sent a hard copy of my birth 1863 01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:31.439 certificate Caterlebury Jenner, gender six female. 1864 01:34:32.640 --> 01:34:35.520 I did everything and they sent it back. 1865 01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:37.600 M they didn't change it at all. 1866 01:34:37.800 --> 01:34:41.479 I'm going to quote trans advocate Janetta Johnson who said 1867 01:34:41.520 --> 01:34:42.479 this in twenty fifteen. 1868 01:34:43.239 --> 01:34:47.399 Jenner is a rich white She can pay for everything 1869 01:34:47.520 --> 01:34:47.960 she needs. 1870 01:34:48.319 --> 01:34:50.159 But I think she now needs to put some of 1871 01:34:50.279 --> 01:34:53.640 that money back into the transgender community, as she has 1872 01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:57.960 taken a lot all these years. We have been abused 1873 01:34:58.039 --> 01:35:00.960 and battered, yet she has you none of her power 1874 01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:05.039 to help the community and bring about change. And so 1875 01:35:05.520 --> 01:35:09.079 you know, Caitlin Jenner, girl, crime me a river. Let 1876 01:35:09.119 --> 01:35:13.840 me play my little violin for you, transgender. The changing 1877 01:35:13.960 --> 01:35:17.039 the marker on the passports is an executive order that 1878 01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:21.159 he signed on day ye on day one. So if 1879 01:35:21.239 --> 01:35:23.039 you think that he didn't know what he was doing, 1880 01:35:23.359 --> 01:35:26.439 if you think he wasn't fulfilling a campaign promise, because 1881 01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:30.680 that's you say, he absolutely exploited this issue in order 1882 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:33.239 to get people to the polls. But I think there's 1883 01:35:33.239 --> 01:35:35.840 a special place in hell for people who only care 1884 01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:38.680 about themselves and don't care about the effect on others. 1885 01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:41.680 If she's saying that this is a safety issue traveling 1886 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:45.880 internationally with the wrong marker on her passport. Imagine what 1887 01:35:46.000 --> 01:35:49.199 the safety issue is for people who are not celebrities, 1888 01:35:49.359 --> 01:35:50.439 who don't have access to. 1889 01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:52.199 The White House and we don't have money. 1890 01:35:53.199 --> 01:35:55.319 Yeah, there's a special place in hell all right for you, 1891 01:35:55.560 --> 01:35:58.199 Anna and Obouro and the rest of those repulsive eggs 1892 01:35:58.239 --> 01:36:01.079 that sit on Shohnald seven on the view every day, 1893 01:36:01.119 --> 01:36:04.800 whether it's Whoopy Goldberg or Joy Bahar or Sunny Host, 1894 01:36:04.880 --> 01:36:06.720 And there is a special place in hell for all 1895 01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:10.000 of you. Enough for my friend Caitlin Jenner. So we're 1896 01:36:10.039 --> 01:36:12.439 going to talk to Stephen A. Smith coming up about 1897 01:36:12.479 --> 01:36:15.000 what the Jets and Giants did last night, and he's 1898 01:36:15.039 --> 01:36:18.199 got his own take on what President Trump is doing 1899 01:36:18.279 --> 01:36:20.399 in Iran. We're going to talk to Joe Takapino, the 1900 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:23.239 great defense attorney, my friend Scott Lobato. Do you want 1901 01:36:23.279 --> 01:36:25.840 to send a shout out to my buddy Abraham Hamra. 1902 01:36:26.319 --> 01:36:30.079 He's actually representing my other dear friend, Johnny Daniels. Johnny 1903 01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:32.439 lives in Israel, but of course he was born in 1904 01:36:32.560 --> 01:36:36.720 England and he's working on his immigration status. And Aby 1905 01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:39.960 is a great immigration attorney. And I'm going to try 1906 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.960 to help these guys out with the State Department here 1907 01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.840 in the United States. But regardless, Aby is a terrific guy, 1908 01:36:45.880 --> 01:36:48.600 and he just said he confirmed, Hey, it is true 1909 01:36:48.640 --> 01:36:51.640 what Kate t just said. The Lebanese people and the 1910 01:36:51.720 --> 01:36:54.760 Israeli people they like each other. There are no issues. 1911 01:36:55.159 --> 01:36:59.640 The issue is the proxy group funded by Iran, which 1912 01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:03.119 is called Hesbola. But getting back to Caitlyn Jenner, I've 1913 01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:06.880 got probably, next to Caitlin, maybe even including Caitlin, the 1914 01:37:07.039 --> 01:37:12.399 most popular conservative transgender in my studios right now. Her 1915 01:37:12.479 --> 01:37:14.800 name is Blair White. And the first thing I'm going 1916 01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:17.840 to say is, Blair, when you walked in, there is zero, 1917 01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:22.640 and I mean zero evidence you were ever a boy. Zero. 1918 01:37:23.640 --> 01:37:25.399 Thank you, thank you. I don't know what to say 1919 01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:26.079 to that, but thank you. 1920 01:37:26.439 --> 01:37:29.319 How many years ago did you do this transition? 1921 01:37:29.439 --> 01:37:30.279 It was about a decade. 1922 01:37:30.399 --> 01:37:33.920 I was twenty, so you're thirty now, yeah, okay. And 1923 01:37:34.039 --> 01:37:37.079 how old were you when you came to the realization 1924 01:37:37.239 --> 01:37:39.359 that you're the wrong sex and the wrong body. 1925 01:37:40.880 --> 01:37:42.800 Well, I think I'm in the right body. I don't 1926 01:37:42.800 --> 01:37:45.439 think God necessarily makes mistakes. I just think that I 1927 01:37:45.600 --> 01:37:47.880 have my own, you know, autonomy. I always knew I 1928 01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:50.119 was different at a young age. But I'm also vary 1929 01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:52.640 against children transitioning. That's something I've gotten a lot of 1930 01:37:52.680 --> 01:37:55.840 blowback for in my career, and so I'm thankful that 1931 01:37:55.920 --> 01:37:58.439 I was, you know, a legal adult and had a 1932 01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:00.000 sound mind to make those decisions. 1933 01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:02.880 You made that decision, Yeah, absolutely right. Your parents wouldn't 1934 01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:03.039 do that. 1935 01:38:03.399 --> 01:38:03.640 Yeah. 1936 01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:07.159 And even a decade ago when I started, the trans 1937 01:38:07.279 --> 01:38:09.960 kid thing was not really a topic, like it's a 1938 01:38:10.079 --> 01:38:13.680 new thing. It's, in my opinion, very wrong, and I 1939 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:16.319 think it's caused a lot of backlash also against trans people. 1940 01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:16.560 Wrong. 1941 01:38:16.640 --> 01:38:21.279 I can't believe Blair, no disrespect to members of your community. 1942 01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:23.960 Wrong as an understatement. I can't believe we're actually having 1943 01:38:24.000 --> 01:38:27.520 this discussion. Not moms and dads, you know, can't be 1944 01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:30.600 the ones or the kid for that matter, to make 1945 01:38:30.680 --> 01:38:33.119 up their own mind. Not cities and states and the 1946 01:38:33.199 --> 01:38:37.000 federal government. They make these decisions. And I don't care 1947 01:38:37.000 --> 01:38:41.479 if it's transgender surgery, if it's vaccines. I think parental 1948 01:38:41.600 --> 01:38:44.479 choice and freedoms. And I was just at a rally 1949 01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:46.520 last night for a guy that I'm endorsing over Corey 1950 01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:48.399 Booker in New Jersey. His name is Alex a dan. 1951 01:38:48.479 --> 01:38:50.840 He's all about these freedoms. I can't believe in having 1952 01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:51.600 these discussions. 1953 01:38:52.079 --> 01:38:52.640 It's crazy. 1954 01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:53.359 Yeah. 1955 01:38:53.600 --> 01:38:56.520 Same, And you know, I'm born and raised in California. 1956 01:38:56.520 --> 01:38:59.199 I lived there my whole life. It's known as a quote. 1957 01:38:59.079 --> 01:39:01.039 Unquote Yeah, that's a terrible place. 1958 01:39:01.239 --> 01:39:04.720 Yeah, it's known as a sanctuary state legally under Gavin 1959 01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:08.199 Newsome for trans kids and immigrants. They're sanctuary for everybody. 1960 01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:13.239 And so even if one parent disagrees with a child transitioning, 1961 01:39:13.680 --> 01:39:15.920 the other parent can legally do it to the child. 1962 01:39:16.640 --> 01:39:19.159 And but what's funny is you can't even go into 1963 01:39:19.199 --> 01:39:22.000 a tanning bed until you're eighteen in California, but you 1964 01:39:22.039 --> 01:39:24.079 can get a you know, sectioned as a child. It's 1965 01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:24.840 very demented. 1966 01:39:25.039 --> 01:39:28.319 It is demented. How many sexes are there? I mean 1967 01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:29.880 genders are there? How many genders are there? 1968 01:39:29.920 --> 01:39:31.199 I mean there's SiO there's too. 1969 01:39:31.600 --> 01:39:31.800 Yeah. 1970 01:39:32.039 --> 01:39:34.760 Sure, because a lot of members of your community and 1971 01:39:34.800 --> 01:39:37.239 a lot of members of the press out there, especially 1972 01:39:37.279 --> 01:39:39.319 in that horrible place that you live, which is beautiful. 1973 01:39:39.319 --> 01:39:41.439 They'll get me wrong. I love parts of California. They 1974 01:39:41.560 --> 01:39:43.319 tell me there's like seven or eight I don't know. 1975 01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:45.279 Chuck Todd left me one time, and I said there 1976 01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:46.319 was two, So there's two. 1977 01:39:46.640 --> 01:39:49.319 Yeah, that was that was news to male and female. 1978 01:39:49.359 --> 01:39:51.640 That was news to me too, you know. It's it 1979 01:39:51.760 --> 01:39:54.960 all happened very very quick, the politicization of the topic 1980 01:39:55.119 --> 01:39:57.760 and the changing of the goalpost of what it means 1981 01:39:57.800 --> 01:40:00.359 to be trans what it means to be a manneral women. 1982 01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:03.439 And I was never on board with it. I was 1983 01:40:03.520 --> 01:40:05.640 told I had to be on board with it, which 1984 01:40:05.800 --> 01:40:08.479 was news to me. I just made a personal choice 1985 01:40:08.520 --> 01:40:10.479 for my own life, and then I found out it 1986 01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:12.840 came with all these political talking points. You had to 1987 01:40:12.920 --> 01:40:14.920 be on board with all these things you had to believe, 1988 01:40:15.439 --> 01:40:17.960 when really I just believe in personal freedom and I've 1989 01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:21.279 always leaned, you know, conservative. I come from my mother's 1990 01:40:21.279 --> 01:40:23.720 side of the family is liberal, My dad is conservative, 1991 01:40:24.399 --> 01:40:27.760 and I naturally gravitated that way always been. 1992 01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:30.680 That's a real mixed marriage right there. Adam, when did 1993 01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:34.760 you transition exactly? You you put on them so my 1994 01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:39.439 companies look good? Yeah, So what's crazy about this? The 1995 01:40:39.520 --> 01:40:41.800 mind control they put over people. It's almost the same 1996 01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:45.319 as COVID, right, you had to say a certain narrative 1997 01:40:45.359 --> 01:40:46.920 from the media, from the government. 1998 01:40:47.399 --> 01:40:49.920 Otherwise they went after you. So it's a strong personality 1999 01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:52.319 like Blair that is able to push back and say, no, 2000 01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:55.760 my principles, my principles. What's right is what's right, and 2001 01:40:55.800 --> 01:40:58.880 what's wrong is wrong. And we got to give credit 2002 01:40:58.920 --> 01:41:01.720 for that because culture move that way so strong. And 2003 01:41:01.840 --> 01:41:03.800 she said, you know, she gave him the big middle finger. 2004 01:41:04.000 --> 01:41:07.479 Yeah, and that's well, you were said at Navarro, they're 2005 01:41:07.520 --> 01:41:10.880 going after President Trump pretty hard. And look, I know 2006 01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:13.119 the President very well with friends. I'm proud to say 2007 01:41:13.159 --> 01:41:16.159 that I love the guy. And all of these criticism 2008 01:41:16.239 --> 01:41:18.239 that come from the left, how he hates gays, and 2009 01:41:18.319 --> 01:41:21.319 he hates transgenders, and he hates blacks. He basically hates everybody, 2010 01:41:21.359 --> 01:41:23.560 you know, unless you make money and you're Jewish, which 2011 01:41:23.600 --> 01:41:25.880 is ridiculous. But I'm going to ask you, meaning that 2012 01:41:25.960 --> 01:41:27.760 you're in that community, how do you feel about the 2013 01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:28.640 President of the United States. 2014 01:41:29.680 --> 01:41:32.920 I haven't seen any hate out of the President towards 2015 01:41:33.000 --> 01:41:35.760 gay people, trans people. When I look at the legislation 2016 01:41:35.880 --> 01:41:38.880 that's been enacted, I still find it way more sensible 2017 01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:40.720 than anything on the left, you know what I mean. 2018 01:41:41.039 --> 01:41:43.159 Trans women and women's sport, that's another issue. 2019 01:41:43.239 --> 01:41:44.239 I've been pretty big about that. 2020 01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:46.680 I mean, I also think that that's wrong. I think 2021 01:41:46.800 --> 01:41:47.399 that's unfair. 2022 01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:49.399 Yeah, I do you are you crazy trying to get 2023 01:41:49.399 --> 01:41:51.279 yourself killed? You're actually a. 2024 01:41:54.319 --> 01:41:54.680 I don't know. 2025 01:41:54.760 --> 01:41:57.279 I just I believe in fairness. I believe you know. 2026 01:41:57.359 --> 01:41:59.680 I'm not a huge sports fan in general, I'm not 2027 01:41:59.720 --> 01:42:02.760 a women's worst fan. But also at the same time, 2028 01:42:02.840 --> 01:42:04.960 you should be able to recognize right from wrong, you 2029 01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:07.000 know what I mean. So these are the topics that 2030 01:42:07.000 --> 01:42:09.039 I've boughten a lot of you know, hate from from 2031 01:42:09.079 --> 01:42:14.279 my own community. Definitely not well loved in the community necessarily, 2032 01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:16.760 although a lot of them tend to, you know, behind 2033 01:42:16.800 --> 01:42:17.279 closed doors. 2034 01:42:17.279 --> 01:42:18.640 State of course they do right. 2035 01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:20.079 But you can go to Bennett Night knowing you're on 2036 01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:22.840 the right side of the issues. I don't Trump right. 2037 01:42:23.039 --> 01:42:25.720 The Trump administration is so inclusive. The New York Times 2038 01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:28.359 maybe three four months ago, did a big profile. It 2039 01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:32.039 was called Trump's big gay government. If they went about 2040 01:42:32.079 --> 01:42:34.039 and did that, think about it, it must be a 2041 01:42:34.079 --> 01:42:35.279 lot of gays throughout his government. 2042 01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:35.760 Well, listen. 2043 01:42:36.359 --> 01:42:38.800 Rick Renell is a guy that's worked alongside the president 2044 01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:41.840 for many years. My dear friend, my favorite homosexual of all. 2045 01:42:41.880 --> 01:42:44.439 He's in Brussels right now. Bill White, he's been around 2046 01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:45.079 the president. 2047 01:42:44.840 --> 01:42:46.199 For a long great guy, great guy. 2048 01:42:46.279 --> 01:42:48.199 They're all great guys, and the president has no issue. 2049 01:42:48.279 --> 01:42:51.680 They got big, big jobs in his administration. It's complete nonsense. 2050 01:42:51.760 --> 01:42:55.479 So you are not for men competing in women's sports. 2051 01:42:55.600 --> 01:42:58.960 You readily admit they're only two sexes. What else out 2052 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:01.439 there that is saying that I believe in that, you 2053 01:43:01.600 --> 01:43:04.880 believe in that even ostracideses you even more inside your 2054 01:43:04.880 --> 01:43:05.960 own community, I. 2055 01:43:06.039 --> 01:43:08.880 Mean, well probably a lot, you know, like just in general. 2056 01:43:09.119 --> 01:43:11.479 Like I said, I've always leaned right, I'm a capitalist. 2057 01:43:11.640 --> 01:43:13.640 That's something you're also not allowed to be anything, not 2058 01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:17.920 in this city, No, especially under you guys knew the mayor, 2059 01:43:18.039 --> 01:43:20.439 which I'm sorry for you that one. 2060 01:43:20.760 --> 01:43:24.279 Right, Yeah, peggettes you got Cameen Bess not exactly great either, 2061 01:43:24.359 --> 01:43:25.640 but right. 2062 01:43:26.359 --> 01:43:29.439 You know, we lived through all the COVID years being 2063 01:43:29.479 --> 01:43:33.720 anti vaccine, anti lockdown, all of that stuff. Even though 2064 01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:36.439 now it's slowly even like a lot of Democrats are 2065 01:43:36.479 --> 01:43:38.279 able to kind of be like, Okay, maybe we went 2066 01:43:38.279 --> 01:43:40.720 a little far during those years. I've always just stood 2067 01:43:40.800 --> 01:43:42.960 up for a limited government, government not telling you what 2068 01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:45.720 to do with your body. Of course, I believe in 2069 01:43:46.039 --> 01:43:49.039 bodily autonomy, because I utilize the bodily autonomy, and so 2070 01:43:49.520 --> 01:43:51.479 that also includes if I don't want to do something 2071 01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:52.039 I don't want to. 2072 01:43:52.000 --> 01:43:53.760 Do, well, you don't have any remorse from doing this. 2073 01:43:53.840 --> 01:43:56.239 I mean you have no When I look at the 2074 01:43:56.279 --> 01:43:59.000 people these days, there are a lot of people detransitioning 2075 01:43:59.079 --> 01:44:01.239 who have like regrets. Yeah, and those tend to be 2076 01:44:01.319 --> 01:44:03.319 the ones who did it very very young as children, 2077 01:44:03.439 --> 01:44:05.600 because obviously when you make a choice like that, it's 2078 01:44:05.800 --> 01:44:06.880 not really a choice you're making. 2079 01:44:07.079 --> 01:44:09.920 Right, when we were at Sea Pac recently, the floods 2080 01:44:09.920 --> 01:44:13.199 of people the transition is going back to the originally 2081 01:44:13.479 --> 01:44:15.159 were running up to Blair and thanking her. 2082 01:44:15.399 --> 01:44:18.239 They were, which, yeah, she stands for good, right, it's 2083 01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:19.239 gonna make it feel Yeah. 2084 01:44:19.319 --> 01:44:21.600 Yeah, that's another you know, not a lot of people 2085 01:44:21.720 --> 01:44:24.920 stand up for those individuals. And so I just like 2086 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:27.399 to provide on my podcast and on my YouTube channel 2087 01:44:27.520 --> 01:44:30.720 just a full three sixty perspective on the issue, Whereas 2088 01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:33.960 if you're just hearing from shows like The View, you're 2089 01:44:34.000 --> 01:44:35.359 going to get just one side. 2090 01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:36.079 Yeah, I forget. 2091 01:44:36.079 --> 01:44:37.960 I had a girl in here not long ago.

That kid is amazing when he's uncovering. He 2113 01:45:38.520 --> 01:45:39.840 blew the doors off Minnesota. 2114 01:45:40.000 --> 01:45:41.119 He was a guy. He made that. 2115 01:45:41.319 --> 01:45:44.560 He made tampon Tim retire. Yeah, they've just him alone. 2116 01:45:44.680 --> 01:45:46.880 He really did if Trump. We thought Trump could do 2117 01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:49.439 it with his verbal jed, but Nick did it alone 2118 01:45:49.800 --> 01:45:52.600 his investigation. And then we're going to tomorrow, we'll go 2119 01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:55.800 into the white alternative White House Correspondent's Dinner with some events, 2120 01:45:56.279 --> 01:45:58.680 and for the first time in eleven years, ten years, 2121 01:45:58.720 --> 01:46:01.279 Trump is showing up. Yeahs to shutup when he was 2122 01:46:01.319 --> 01:46:04.880 a celebrity was president. So the cool kid is showing 2123 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:06.720 up to the nerve problem. Let's see how they treat him. 2124 01:46:08.039 --> 01:46:10.359 Well, they're no comedians this year, No, but they have 2125 01:46:10.520 --> 01:46:13.319 some mentalists. I guess that's going to be the entertainment. 2126 01:46:13.520 --> 01:46:15.359 What is this now, it's called an alternative. 2127 01:46:15.600 --> 01:46:17.760 We're doing an alternative dinner a couple of these White 2128 01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:21.640 House correspondents, the White House Correspondence Association, A lot of 2129 01:46:21.680 --> 01:46:22.520 people can be in there. 2130 01:46:22.560 --> 01:46:22.920 But they did. 2131 01:46:23.239 --> 01:46:24.960 They refuse to give a guy by name of John 2132 01:46:25.000 --> 01:46:27.600 Frederick's a table. He actually paid. They gave him the 2133 01:46:27.600 --> 01:46:30.039 money back and they said we'll give you one ticket. 2134 01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:31.479 He said, I can't go. I need my wife to go. 2135 01:46:31.520 --> 01:46:33.600 They wouldn't give him a second ticket. He's a White 2136 01:46:33.760 --> 01:46:36.880 House correspondent reporter. They don't want to let the alternative 2137 01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:40.319 Meetia in. They're still, you know, they want their little cabal, 2138 01:46:40.399 --> 01:46:42.680 I guess, to control it. So we created a small 2139 01:46:42.760 --> 01:46:46.079 another little dinner at the Press Association, and we're going 2140 01:46:46.159 --> 01:46:48.840 to celebrate.

So we'll see how it goes. 2146 01:46:54.439 --> 01:46:57.560 Because but let's see how they treat Trump. That's the 2147 01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:00.359 real question. Will they stand up, will they test? 2148 01:47:00.920 --> 01:47:01.000 Oh? 2149 01:47:01.079 --> 01:47:03.840 Yeah, you know what's calc she's saying?

I just did a video 2165 01:47:35.680 --> 01:47:38.119 about the literary crisis in America how no one can 2166 01:47:38.199 --> 01:47:41.439 read anymore, which is really scary. Forty five million adults 2167 01:47:41.439 --> 01:47:43.119 in America are functionally illiterate. 2168 01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:47.920 I got two on my own show.

Smith. 2192 01:48:40.399 --> 01:48:42.039 He'll be here to talk about the jet and giant 2193 01:48:42.119 --> 01:48:45.039 trap last night, and also his thoughts on what we're 2194 01:48:45.079 --> 01:48:47.800 doing with President Trump in Iran. All that's still a 2195 01:48:47.880 --> 01:48:50.520 come the Body edition of Sitting Friends in the Morning 2196 01:48:51.520 --> 01:48:53.560 rolls out Sid. 2197 01:48:53.680 --> 01:48:57.960 And Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 2198 01:48:59.039 --> 01:49:00.520 Get it in McCollum. 2199 01:49:00.720 --> 01:49:09.399 Fire Hawks take the lead offensively and Dyson Daniels has 2200 01:49:09.439 --> 01:49:11.960 been the best defender on Brunson. 2201 01:49:12.199 --> 01:49:14.039 The Hawks stole one in Game two. 2202 01:49:15.840 --> 01:49:18.319 It's down to the wire here in Game three, seven 2203 01:49:18.399 --> 01:49:20.039 seconds left, punch him of the ball. 2204 01:49:20.279 --> 01:49:22.720 Punching makes its brough unching on the baseline. 2205 01:49:23.399 --> 01:49:24.520 Co's gonna suck it down. 2206 01:49:28.079 --> 01:49:29.479 The looks older. 2207 01:49:31.640 --> 01:49:33.800 And Lena takes a two long lead. 2208 01:49:33.640 --> 01:49:34.359 In the series. 2209 01:49:34.800 --> 01:49:36.279 The reality of it is and I told him this 2210 01:49:36.399 --> 01:49:39.279 it's a seven game series for a reason. You know, 2211 01:49:40.640 --> 01:49:45.760 stuff's gonna happen. There are plenty of teams have been 2212 01:49:45.840 --> 01:49:49.720 down one two, you know, should I even think? Oklall 2213 01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:52.199 the city was down one to last year and they 2214 01:49:52.279 --> 01:49:54.640 end up winning winning it. So I'm not saying we're 2215 01:49:54.640 --> 01:49:57.279 gonna win it or anything like that, but the reality 2216 01:49:57.319 --> 01:49:59.520 of it is, it's it's seven games, and you take 2217 01:49:59.600 --> 01:50:02.640 one game at a time. Each game is its own entity. 2218 01:50:02.720 --> 01:50:05.079 And that's what I told the group. Now, this should 2219 01:50:05.119 --> 01:50:09.760 stink because we gave ourselves a chance knowing that we 2220 01:50:09.880 --> 01:50:13.960 didn't play our best basketball. So it should stink, but 2221 01:50:15.039 --> 01:50:18.600 we need to feel it and get ready to be 2222 01:50:18.760 --> 01:50:20.560 locked in for the next game, which we will be. 2223 01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:21.239 Whatever. 2224 01:50:22.840 --> 01:50:25.119 That was Iron Eagle, my dear friend Iron Eagle on 2225 01:50:25.199 --> 01:50:27.720 the call. He was great last night. Hey, you can't 2226 01:50:27.800 --> 01:50:30.279 lose an Eagle and bring They're both amazing. As a 2227 01:50:30.399 --> 01:50:34.159 Nickabocker suffered their second consecutive one point loss to the Hawks, 2228 01:50:34.159 --> 01:50:36.600 and then you heard from Nick coach Mike Brown. And 2229 01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:39.439 as I said this morning, amidst all the trumpyron talk 2230 01:50:39.560 --> 01:50:44.520 and talking to Blair White, a very courageous conservative transgender 2231 01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:47.239 and studio not long ago, when Randy Sutton, the amazing 2232 01:50:47.319 --> 01:50:50.119 cop the wounded Blue. As I said earlier this morning, 2233 01:50:50.760 --> 01:50:53.159 the happiest guy in America right now has to be 2234 01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:56.560 Tom Thibodeau. I'm sorry, he's got to be grinning ear 2235 01:50:56.600 --> 01:50:59.560 to ear that son of a gun had the Knickerbocker's 2236 01:50:59.600 --> 01:51:02.279 two games away from the NBA Finals. They got better 2237 01:51:02.399 --> 01:51:05.119 every year. He won more and more games every year. 2238 01:51:05.920 --> 01:51:08.119 And whatever the issue was with Leon Rose or I 2239 01:51:08.279 --> 01:51:10.680 just don't care. So they fire him, they bring in 2240 01:51:10.800 --> 01:51:13.359 Mike Brown, and now the Knicks. I don't think they'll 2241 01:51:13.399 --> 01:51:17.159 lose this series, but they're losing now. So the best 2242 01:51:17.239 --> 01:51:21.399 sports personality I believe in the world, I really believe 2243 01:51:21.439 --> 01:51:24.439 that Stephen A. Smith has now distinguished himself as that. 2244 01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:26.800 But he's so much more than that. He does this 2245 01:51:27.720 --> 01:51:31.359 amazing show every week, and you know, he discusses a 2246 01:51:31.399 --> 01:51:33.960 lot of stuff. He had some great points on President 2247 01:51:34.039 --> 01:51:36.319 Trump and Iron for example. I agree with a lot 2248 01:51:36.359 --> 01:51:39.159 of it. Two nights ago. Then he toured with the 2249 01:51:39.199 --> 01:51:41.840 idea running for president not that long ago. Just a 2250 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:44.800 really smart guy and crebbe entertaining and he's my friend, 2251 01:51:44.840 --> 01:51:47.199 Steven A. Smith. Steve Good Friday morning, buddy, how are you. 2252 01:51:48.039 --> 01:51:48.600 Good morning. 2253 01:51:50.079 --> 01:51:51.760 I'm great, and it's so great to talk to you. 2254 01:51:51.840 --> 01:51:54.359 I think you'd agree with me that right now. Tom Thibodeaux, 2255 01:51:54.439 --> 01:51:56.199 I'm not saying he's rooting for the Knicks to lose 2256 01:51:56.239 --> 01:51:57.720 but you know how people are, They're. 2257 01:51:57.520 --> 01:51:58.199 Gonna be honest. 2258 01:51:58.279 --> 01:52:01.680 He's looking pretty good right now. He's looking pretty good 2259 01:52:01.720 --> 01:52:03.880 right now. There's no there's no there's nowhere around. He's 2260 01:52:03.880 --> 01:52:07.479 looking pretty damn good right now. You know, it's it's really, 2261 01:52:07.600 --> 01:52:09.319 it's really not a good thing for the New York 2262 01:52:09.399 --> 01:52:13.039 Knicks right now. Very very disgusted what I saw last night. 2263 01:52:13.119 --> 01:52:16.479 I'm losing the game. Brunton back to back, bad place 2264 01:52:17.119 --> 01:52:21.439 on offense to end the game, Parl Anthony Towns. I mean, 2265 01:52:21.560 --> 01:52:24.319 this is the guy that can dominate the Atlanta Hawks 2266 01:52:24.359 --> 01:52:26.960 in somehow, some ways. He's not as active of a 2267 01:52:27.039 --> 01:52:28.960 part of an offense as he needs to be. He 2268 01:52:29.079 --> 01:52:32.720 got a guy in Michael Bridges who can play, who's 2269 01:52:32.760 --> 01:52:34.840 worth one hundred and fifty million that they're paying for 2270 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:38.079 him in his day's NBA economy. But it's never worth 2271 01:52:38.399 --> 01:52:41.680 six first round picks for unprotected in order to get 2272 01:52:41.720 --> 01:52:44.880 his services, particularly when you consider the fact that those 2273 01:52:45.039 --> 01:52:49.119 assets that you surrendered to get him. Who's Jalen Brunson's boy. 2274 01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:52.399 They won national championships of Villanova. That's why they went 2275 01:52:52.439 --> 01:52:54.920 through all of that to get them. You know, it 2276 01:52:55.039 --> 01:52:58.319 compromised their ability to get somebody like Giannis after d Koumpo, 2277 01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:00.439 who would have already been a Knick from last summer 2278 01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:03.720 had it not been for the Nick being for rest 2279 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:06.119 of those assets. So it's not a good day. I mean, 2280 01:53:06.159 --> 01:53:09.640 they could still win this series, but there has been 2281 01:53:09.920 --> 01:53:13.319 a drop off. Regardless of what statistics say, regardless of 2282 01:53:13.399 --> 01:53:16.079 what their records say. This is not the same team 2283 01:53:16.159 --> 01:53:19.520 that had the grit and the grind and the toughness 2284 01:53:19.960 --> 01:53:23.359 that they had under Tom Thibodeaux. That is just a fact. 2285 01:53:23.399 --> 01:53:24.119 Couldn't agree more. 2286 01:53:24.840 --> 01:53:27.000 Yeah, yeah, is what it is. 2287 01:53:27.039 --> 01:53:28.079 And we got to see what they're gonna do. 2288 01:53:28.319 --> 01:53:31.119 Yeah, you know, and you know, Hard is still valuable 2289 01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:33.520 out there, does a good job McBride, but these guys 2290 01:53:33.600 --> 01:53:35.319 even they're not the same. And you know, forget about 2291 01:53:35.319 --> 01:53:37.159 the opense for a second. I mean, are you telling 2292 01:53:37.279 --> 01:53:40.119 me that there's nobody on the Knicks that can stop 2293 01:53:40.199 --> 01:53:42.159 see J McCollum, willly Steve. 2294 01:53:43.359 --> 01:53:45.880 Yeah, certainly teams that way, cjs and savvy veterans. Has 2295 01:53:45.920 --> 01:53:48.159 been around for a long time. He can really shoot 2296 01:53:48.159 --> 01:53:52.079 the basketball, he can really play, He's poised under pressure, 2297 01:53:52.199 --> 01:53:55.319 doesn't get nervous, can make big tom shots to keep 2298 01:53:55.359 --> 01:53:57.560 forgetting He was the top two options for years in 2299 01:53:57.680 --> 01:54:01.640 Portland with Damian Lillard. And not only that, they got 2300 01:54:01.680 --> 01:54:04.920 a bunch of young thoroughbreds around him that can play 2301 01:54:05.000 --> 01:54:07.800 but don't know any better. So they rely on him 2302 01:54:07.880 --> 01:54:10.600 for poise, They rely on him for leadership, and they 2303 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:13.800 rely on him for clutch plays, whether it's scoring or 2304 01:54:13.840 --> 01:54:17.239 setting somebody else to score. He knows what he's doing. 2305 01:54:17.640 --> 01:54:20.880 And the New York Knickson not stop defensively across the board, 2306 01:54:21.279 --> 01:54:25.760 because even though og can descend, even though Josh Hart 2307 01:54:26.119 --> 01:54:30.319 can descend and Michel Bridges can descend, sometimes you can 2308 01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:32.840 exploit Carl Anthony Towns on a perimeter and you can 2309 01:54:33.000 --> 01:54:36.680 exploit Jaylan Brunton everywhere. And so the combination of all 2310 01:54:36.720 --> 01:54:41.199 of those things, along with the absence of faith that 2311 01:54:41.640 --> 01:54:45.399 Mike Brown has shown in his death in his death 2312 01:54:45.920 --> 01:54:49.000 definitely plays a role, which is a problem, because that's 2313 01:54:49.079 --> 01:54:52.000 one of the biggest reasons you decided to shift from 2314 01:54:52.079 --> 01:54:57.199 Thibodeau to Mike Brown because of those things. Thibodeau's Achilles' 2315 01:54:57.239 --> 01:55:00.239 heels of stubbornness, you know. And I think the nine 2316 01:55:00.279 --> 01:55:03.680 of the Year last year came from Kenny to Jet Smith, 2317 01:55:04.239 --> 01:55:07.640 formerly of TNT now ESPN with the Inside the NBA team, 2318 01:55:08.319 --> 01:55:10.279 Kenny Smith had the line that I don't want you 2319 01:55:10.399 --> 01:55:13.479 to ever forget sid and that line was this about 2320 01:55:13.560 --> 01:55:17.279 Tom Thibodeau. Tom Thibodeaux would have a problem playing nine 2321 01:55:17.359 --> 01:55:21.720 guys in a baseball game. That's what he said. That 2322 01:55:21.960 --> 01:55:25.039 is right, and there was a lot of the year 2323 01:55:25.439 --> 01:55:30.359 because it's absolutely true. That was Tom Thibodeaux. You know, 2324 01:55:30.479 --> 01:55:33.720 he was stubborn in Chicago, he was stubborn in Minnesota. 2325 01:55:34.319 --> 01:55:36.479 He swore he had learned the ever of his ways 2326 01:55:36.520 --> 01:55:39.279 and started winning a little bit and got stubborn in 2327 01:55:39.359 --> 01:55:42.000 New York. And it's a damn shame that he's not 2328 01:55:42.119 --> 01:55:44.039 the head coach of his team, because if you just 2329 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:47.039 knew how to relax just a little bit and just 2330 01:55:47.279 --> 01:55:51.439 laid off and didn't alienate players the way that he can, 2331 01:55:51.640 --> 01:55:55.239 or an organization strictly because of his stubbornness, because he's 2332 01:55:55.279 --> 01:55:58.039 so committed to the game of basketball. It's all he 2333 01:55:58.159 --> 01:56:00.960 cares about, it's all he thinks about, that's all he does. 2334 01:56:01.520 --> 01:56:04.199 But you got to lighten up. And because he didn't, 2335 01:56:04.680 --> 01:56:08.119 he alienated the support of his players, and as a result, 2336 01:56:08.199 --> 01:56:11.279 they wanted somebody different. Than him. Well, now they got it, 2337 01:56:11.640 --> 01:56:12.479 and look at what's happening. 2338 01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:13.760 One more on the Knicks. 2339 01:56:13.800 --> 01:56:15.920 And this is one of the things I don't miss 2340 01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:19.119 Steve about doing sports talk radio every day, because I'd 2341 01:56:19.159 --> 01:56:22.319 be spending two hours on the fan today talking about 2342 01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:25.399 how tomorrow's a must win Knicks camp ball down three 2343 01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:27.960 games to one, Well can they can they come back 2344 01:56:28.000 --> 01:56:28.840 and win three straight? 2345 01:56:28.920 --> 01:56:30.199 Blah blah blah blah blah. 2346 01:56:30.520 --> 01:56:32.680 I don't know if tomorrow's a must win or not, 2347 01:56:32.840 --> 01:56:35.159 but as a Nick man, I'd rather be two two. 2348 01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:36.600 It is no, no, no, no. 2349 01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:39.239 You can't go down three one. Can't go down three one. 2350 01:56:39.720 --> 01:56:42.359 Then this New York Knicks team is not built to 2351 01:56:42.479 --> 01:56:44.239 come back from a three to one deficit. I'm not 2352 01:56:44.319 --> 01:56:49.279 saying that it's impossible, but it's incredibly, incredibly daunty. The 2353 01:56:49.399 --> 01:56:53.760 New York Knicks are not versatile enough to make you 2354 01:56:53.920 --> 01:56:57.159 believe that they could figure out a multitude of ways 2355 01:56:57.199 --> 01:57:00.239 to come away with three straight victories after being down 2356 01:57:00.279 --> 01:57:02.680 three to one to a young Atlanta Hawk squad. They 2357 01:57:02.720 --> 01:57:05.319 don't win Game four, so I don't believe they advanced 2358 01:57:05.319 --> 01:57:06.359 into the second round. 2359 01:57:06.199 --> 01:57:09.279 Wow, which would be a huge, colossal failure. I'll give 2360 01:57:09.319 --> 01:57:11.039 me your impressions quickly because they don't want to get 2361 01:57:11.079 --> 01:57:14.399 to the political news. What your impressions of the local 2362 01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:17.199 football teams? You know, the Giant fans, I saw a 2363 01:57:17.239 --> 01:57:20.359 lot of people on Instagram yelling and screaming. They wanted 2364 01:57:20.479 --> 01:57:22.840 sexy players. They wanted the running back Love out of 2365 01:57:22.920 --> 01:57:26.239 Notre Dame, with a wide receiver Tyson out of Arizona State, 2366 01:57:26.359 --> 01:57:28.399 or even not safe yet of Ohio State. They didn't 2367 01:57:28.399 --> 01:57:30.359 get either one. But Harwa fiell is like up the 2368 01:57:30.439 --> 01:57:33.239 middle with a very good linebacker on and off the 2369 01:57:33.319 --> 01:57:35.880 ball and a guard to protect Jackson. Dort that the 2370 01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:38.359 Giants did very well. The Jets, they did add some talent, 2371 01:57:38.840 --> 01:57:40.760 skilled players on our fense with the tight end out 2372 01:57:40.760 --> 01:57:43.399 of Oregon and the wide receiver out of Indiana. What 2373 01:57:43.479 --> 01:57:45.199 were your impressions of the local team? 2374 01:57:45.279 --> 01:57:48.359 Stress? I thought both teams did well. I just don't 2375 01:57:48.359 --> 01:57:50.600 give a damn because it's not the season, you know. 2376 01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:53.680 I'm sticking tired of us winning in the month of 2377 01:57:54.359 --> 01:57:57.439 April and May and then thinking up the joint from 2378 01:57:57.520 --> 01:58:00.760 September through December. I can kill less. I'm not sold 2379 01:58:00.800 --> 01:58:03.760 on them. I mean again, give them credit. What creditors do. 2380 01:58:04.560 --> 01:58:07.439 They did what they needed to do to win the draft. 2381 01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:10.159 Props to them, but you need more than that. And 2382 01:58:10.600 --> 01:58:15.119 unfortunately these organizations that both organizations have shown us that 2383 01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:17.800 they're bereast of making the rights. They just struggle to 2384 01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:20.479 make the right decisions. Tom and Tim and Tom. Again, 2385 01:58:20.600 --> 01:58:22.960 I'm not a namord with what I'm seeing, and so 2386 01:58:23.039 --> 01:58:24.960 we got to wait team. But they did make the 2387 01:58:25.079 --> 01:58:28.720 right picks, especially with the New York Jets. I'm one 2388 01:58:28.760 --> 01:58:31.640 of those guys who firmly believes do what got you there, 2389 01:58:32.079 --> 01:58:34.399 meaning that if you're a head coach, what got you 2390 01:58:34.520 --> 01:58:36.800 to head coach the job? If you're Aaron Glenn, it 2391 01:58:36.960 --> 01:58:40.800 was because you're a defensive wizard. Okay, fine, go out 2392 01:58:40.880 --> 01:58:44.079 and make sure that the Jets are elite defensively. That's 2393 01:58:44.119 --> 01:58:46.399 how I am. If that's what got you the job, 2394 01:58:46.840 --> 01:58:48.760 make sure that once you get the head coaching job, 2395 01:58:49.079 --> 01:58:51.399 you don't forget what got you the job. So I'm 2396 01:58:51.439 --> 01:58:53.319 good with that. So if you want to show up 2397 01:58:53.359 --> 01:58:55.960 your defense and show everybody that you're going to have 2398 01:58:56.000 --> 01:58:58.000 a big time defense, and you bring in the personnel 2399 01:58:58.039 --> 01:59:00.920 to do that, especially after losing winning Williams and those 2400 01:59:00.960 --> 01:59:03.439 guys last year and tank in the second half of 2401 01:59:03.439 --> 01:59:05.960 the season final. Just go ahead and do it. But 2402 01:59:06.720 --> 01:59:09.199 I'll be happy when I see them win games when 2403 01:59:09.279 --> 01:59:10.439 they count fair enough. 2404 01:59:10.520 --> 01:59:14.039 One more on sports, And I know that you talked 2405 01:59:14.079 --> 01:59:16.960 about it, and I enjoyed your conversation because you're an 2406 01:59:17.039 --> 01:59:19.760 entertaining guy. But it's everywhere, and I gotta tell you, 2407 01:59:19.920 --> 01:59:24.520 I don't care. I don't care who Diana Russini is 2408 01:59:24.640 --> 01:59:26.800 sleeping with, even if he is the coach of the Patriots, 2409 01:59:26.800 --> 01:59:29.039 whether he's married or not. Put that crap with our 2410 01:59:29.079 --> 01:59:32.359 buddy Kevin Fraser on entertainment tonight. Why this is turning 2411 01:59:32.399 --> 01:59:35.359 into a major sports story. Every other story on my 2412 01:59:35.520 --> 01:59:38.600 Instagram is Russini and Brabel. I couldn't care less. 2413 01:59:39.479 --> 01:59:43.119 I feel bad. I know Diana Russini a little bit. 2414 01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:46.319 We work together at ESPN for ten years. She's a 2415 01:59:46.399 --> 01:59:50.039 good person, She's a damn good reporter. I feel very, 2416 01:59:50.119 --> 01:59:52.960 very bad for her, but it's undeniable that she put 2417 01:59:53.000 --> 01:59:56.159 herself in a compromising situation. I'm not here to cast 2418 01:59:56.279 --> 01:59:58.640 Endia Spurgeon is on her to judge her or anything 2419 01:59:58.800 --> 02:00:01.760 like that, you know, And what I will say to 2420 02:00:01.920 --> 02:00:04.520 people is this, and I don't get into people's bedroom 2421 02:00:04.560 --> 02:00:07.000 and stuff like that, because when we don't talk about 2422 02:00:07.119 --> 02:00:09.880 enough in the country that everybody's marriage is different. You 2423 02:00:10.000 --> 02:00:11.680 got a lot of people in this country that have 2424 02:00:11.720 --> 02:00:14.640 married the name only you know that marriage is not 2425 02:00:14.800 --> 02:00:16.880 what you think it is when it comes to their 2426 02:00:17.039 --> 02:00:20.039 specific relationship. So you don't know what the hell is 2427 02:00:20.079 --> 02:00:22.640 going on in somebody's relationship. I mean, I've seen it. 2428 02:00:22.680 --> 02:00:25.000 All said is I'm sure you've had. I've seen people 2429 02:00:25.039 --> 02:00:27.840 that have been married, they got open relationships, open marriages, 2430 02:00:28.199 --> 02:00:30.319 they swing in, they're doing all kinds of stuff that 2431 02:00:30.640 --> 02:00:33.159 you know. I mean, you just never know, so you 2432 02:00:33.199 --> 02:00:35.479 don't get you don't get caught up in all of that. 2433 02:00:36.079 --> 02:00:38.159 Here's what I would tell you where it becomes. This 2434 02:00:38.319 --> 02:00:39.520 is the one point. And I said this on my 2435 02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:42.800 radio show on Mad Dog Sports Radio series extem every 2436 02:00:42.840 --> 02:00:44.880 day for one to three pms incead of the time. 2437 02:00:44.960 --> 02:00:50.000 I said, listen, here's what we have to understand. Mike 2438 02:00:50.159 --> 02:00:55.199 Rabel's got some answering. The do to his family is why. 2439 02:00:58.079 --> 02:01:04.680 Uh oh the money shot was coming. Literally, He's right, 2440 02:01:04.880 --> 02:01:08.279 Mike Rabel. The person he has to answer to first 2441 02:01:09.399 --> 02:01:11.800 is his wife. And he's actually admitted those have been 2442 02:01:11.840 --> 02:01:14.199 difficult conversations. Let's get right back to see if you're 2443 02:01:14.199 --> 02:01:16.600 making the point, and you're right that Rabel he's got 2444 02:01:16.680 --> 02:01:17.159 to start. 2445 02:01:17.000 --> 02:01:20.560 With his wife. Oh he's not there yet. Okay, I 2446 02:01:20.680 --> 02:01:21.199 thought he was. 2447 02:01:23.760 --> 02:01:23.920 There. 2448 02:01:23.960 --> 02:01:24.159 He is. 2449 02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:26.560 Let's get Steve back on the phone. He was saying, 2450 02:01:26.680 --> 02:01:28.600 Rabel has to start with his wife. 2451 02:01:28.439 --> 02:01:33.880 Right, his wife. Okay, actually starts to end with his 2452 02:01:33.920 --> 02:01:36.159 wife and his family. He doesn't owe us an explanation 2453 02:01:36.279 --> 02:01:38.800 for a damn thing. Here's where the problem comes in 2454 02:01:38.920 --> 02:01:45.800 with Diana received. You are a reporter covering the team 2455 02:01:45.920 --> 02:01:50.880 and the sport. If you were a reporter covering the NFL, 2456 02:01:51.760 --> 02:01:55.159 but you were seeing with somebody with hockey or somebody 2457 02:01:55.239 --> 02:01:58.520 on the NBA or whatever, it's none of our business. 2458 02:01:59.800 --> 02:02:01.680 But the fact of the matter is you covered the 2459 02:02:01.920 --> 02:02:07.000 NFL and there's numerous stories that you were reporting on 2460 02:02:07.960 --> 02:02:14.520 that involved him and the Patriots. So because of that, 2461 02:02:15.319 --> 02:02:20.199 now the conflict of interest comes into play. Okay, did 2462 02:02:20.279 --> 02:02:23.399 you report? Were you objective in your reporting? Were you 2463 02:02:23.600 --> 02:02:26.319 just reporting what was fed to you? How was it 2464 02:02:26.439 --> 02:02:29.720 fed to you? Did the pillow talk? What was it 2465 02:02:30.600 --> 02:02:33.119 you know? Did you serve his agenda or did you 2466 02:02:33.199 --> 02:02:36.520 serve the objective? Agenda and the objective of the athletic 2467 02:02:36.600 --> 02:02:41.000 and your readers. That's the stuff that made it become 2468 02:02:41.760 --> 02:02:46.000 such a public spectacle that the industry had to touch 2469 02:02:46.119 --> 02:02:50.199 and couldn't avoid because that is something that you simply 2470 02:02:50.319 --> 02:02:50.720 don't do. 2471 02:02:51.680 --> 02:02:53.359 And that's where the problem lies. 2472 02:02:53.760 --> 02:02:57.439 She's married, he's married. Whatever, that's their business, that's their 2473 02:02:57.560 --> 02:03:02.000 family business. We don't know the specific She denied it initially, 2474 02:03:02.159 --> 02:03:04.239 so did he, and then all of a sudden he 2475 02:03:04.359 --> 02:03:07.880 has this useless press conference where he's talking but saying 2476 02:03:08.000 --> 02:03:10.720 absolutely nothing. And as far as I'm concerned, through her 2477 02:03:10.840 --> 02:03:13.840 under the bus because he had no business speaking about 2478 02:03:13.840 --> 02:03:16.560 it at all publicly, but he did anyway, and so 2479 02:03:16.960 --> 02:03:20.159 that's really really unfortunate that he did something like that, 2480 02:03:20.720 --> 02:03:23.680 certainly to cover himself. That didn't work. But in the end, 2481 02:03:23.760 --> 02:03:25.640 what it came down to, what it comes down to 2482 02:03:25.800 --> 02:03:28.439 is that when you're in our business, you don't put 2483 02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:34.760 yourself in those compromising situations, especially when you're the females, 2484 02:03:34.800 --> 02:03:37.039 because the females are the ones holding you accountable. You 2485 02:03:37.119 --> 02:03:39.560 have to remember a lot of times, and I want 2486 02:03:39.600 --> 02:03:41.119 to say this on your show, and I said this 2487 02:03:41.319 --> 02:03:43.800 publicly because I think people need to hear this. So 2488 02:03:43.960 --> 02:03:47.720 many times when stuff like this comes out, particularly about 2489 02:03:48.159 --> 02:03:52.399 women covering professional sports, a lot of people think it's 2490 02:03:52.479 --> 02:03:56.119 the men going off. That's not true. It's the women 2491 02:03:56.319 --> 02:04:00.159 in the industry that are going off about women who 2492 02:04:00.239 --> 02:04:06.560 put themselves in that position. Because anytime something like that happens, women, 2493 02:04:07.079 --> 02:04:09.680 most of whom would never think to do such a thing, 2494 02:04:10.479 --> 02:04:14.760 look at themselves as having their credibility questions, how did 2495 02:04:14.800 --> 02:04:17.359 you get to where you were? Did you? Did you? 2496 02:04:17.720 --> 02:04:20.680 Did you? You know what? What? What mechanisms did you use? 2497 02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:27.439 So women are you know, women, the women of high 2498 02:04:27.640 --> 02:04:31.560 integrity throughout the years that have been instituted, the wonderful 2499 02:04:31.640 --> 02:04:34.399 women like the Christine Brennans of the world of the USA, 2500 02:04:34.520 --> 02:04:38.680 today's uh, the Sarah Jenkins of the Washington Poles, uh 2501 02:04:38.760 --> 02:04:42.479 uh you know, uh, you just just Pam Oliver at Fox, 2502 02:04:42.600 --> 02:04:50.079 you see Storm, ESPN, and you know Robbing, Robbing, Roberts 2503 02:04:50.159 --> 02:04:54.039 and so many others that are institutions. They're just phenomenal 2504 02:04:54.159 --> 02:04:57.119 and great and stuff like that, who would never find 2505 02:04:57.199 --> 02:05:00.920 themselves in their position. You don't ever, ever ever want 2506 02:05:01.319 --> 02:05:03.560 to put yourself in that kind of position as a 2507 02:05:03.640 --> 02:05:07.960 woman in this business, because when that happens. Everybody raises 2508 02:05:08.000 --> 02:05:13.159 an eyebrow, and women guard against that with everything they 2509 02:05:13.399 --> 02:05:17.199 have the credibility, the credibility of what they do. So 2510 02:05:17.359 --> 02:05:20.720 when one comes along and finds themselves in that kind 2511 02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:24.560 of compromise a position, these women are highly sensitive to 2512 02:05:24.680 --> 02:05:27.039 it as well as they should be. A lot of 2513 02:05:27.119 --> 02:05:30.600 times they're thinking this the men that are complaining about 2514 02:05:30.680 --> 02:05:33.960 stuff like that, No it's not. It's the women that 2515 02:05:34.119 --> 02:05:37.199 hold down that standard, and they're right to do so, 2516 02:05:37.439 --> 02:05:38.199 they're not wrong. 2517 02:05:39.079 --> 02:05:40.680 That may be the best point of home. You just 2518 02:05:40.760 --> 02:05:44.159 made a great argument why it does matter. So now 2519 02:05:44.199 --> 02:05:46.960 you've completely convinced me. I was like, I just don't care. 2520 02:05:47.079 --> 02:05:49.800 But you made a great argument based upon the profession, 2521 02:05:49.840 --> 02:05:52.640 and you're right. Women unfortunately are viewed by a lot 2522 02:05:52.680 --> 02:05:55.239 of guys like how did she get there? This doesn't help? 2523 02:05:55.520 --> 02:05:58.000 But you know it? Me when you talked about well 2524 02:05:58.119 --> 02:06:02.640 did she you know? Change the story is integrity comes 2525 02:06:02.680 --> 02:06:06.439 into playing or reminded me of the Senate confirmation hearings 2526 02:06:06.600 --> 02:06:08.800 when they sit down and they go, are you gonna 2527 02:06:08.960 --> 02:06:11.359 like but Trump? Are you gonna tell the truth? Are 2528 02:06:11.399 --> 02:06:13.600 you gonna make sure that story makes Trump look good? 2529 02:06:13.680 --> 02:06:16.119 Kind of like you're talking about with the Rucini and Rabel. 2530 02:06:16.159 --> 02:06:18.439 But that's the first thing I thought of was, wow, 2531 02:06:18.800 --> 02:06:20.479 that's like a Senate confirmation hearing. 2532 02:06:21.479 --> 02:06:24.279 Yeah, it is, I mean to some degree, it has 2533 02:06:24.359 --> 02:06:27.880 to be when it comes to her, not Rabel. And 2534 02:06:28.000 --> 02:06:30.600 then you have people calling up saying it's a double standard. 2535 02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:34.000 I said, no, sir, it's not a double standard. It's 2536 02:06:34.039 --> 02:06:36.359 not a double standard at all, because we're not talking 2537 02:06:36.399 --> 02:06:40.079 about gender. We're not talking we're talking about the institution. 2538 02:06:40.640 --> 02:06:45.079 If you are a guy and you are covering the NBA, 2539 02:06:45.399 --> 02:06:49.880 the w NBA, and then you happen to be it's 2540 02:06:50.000 --> 02:06:53.520 revealed that you have some kind of relationship with a 2541 02:06:53.640 --> 02:06:57.479 female coach of the w NBA that you're covering the 2542 02:06:57.560 --> 02:06:58.399 same apply. 2543 02:06:58.359 --> 02:07:04.000 Yeah, sure, sure even now even the the w n 2544 02:07:04.039 --> 02:07:06.720 B A came er fire last week, the Dallas Wings 2545 02:07:06.800 --> 02:07:10.479 because they've got two girls who were together Unsuitay of Connecticut, 2546 02:07:10.479 --> 02:07:11.840 they drafted He's Fudd. 2547 02:07:12.079 --> 02:07:15.560 Well, that's totally different because see that here's the thing 2548 02:07:15.960 --> 02:07:18.239 that's an agreed that was an egregious story that I 2549 02:07:18.520 --> 02:07:21.840 spoke out against that too. That's involving Paige Beckers and 2550 02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:25.439 as Ossie Fudd, the teammates at Yukon. You know, Paige 2551 02:07:25.479 --> 02:07:28.720 Beckers went to the pros. Before she went to the pros, uh, 2552 02:07:29.000 --> 02:07:31.560 they confirmed that they have a relationship with one another. 2553 02:07:32.159 --> 02:07:35.279 So what they're two players. You understand one is not 2554 02:07:35.359 --> 02:07:38.720 an authoritative figure or anything like that. Whatever their relationship is. 2555 02:07:38.800 --> 02:07:41.000 Yeah, but but but you don't want these are your 2556 02:07:41.039 --> 02:07:42.840 two best players on the team. If they get into 2557 02:07:42.880 --> 02:07:44.800 a fight the night before and one of these girls 2558 02:07:44.880 --> 02:07:47.039 can't can't perform, you can't. 2559 02:07:47.079 --> 02:07:51.600 You can't go by that because listen, listen. I've seen situations. Listen. 2560 02:07:51.680 --> 02:07:54.159 I've been covering sports for years. I know of a 2561 02:07:54.239 --> 02:07:56.560 situation where a player got traded because the coach was 2562 02:07:56.560 --> 02:07:59.760 screwing around with the cheerleader, and and and then they 2563 02:08:00.399 --> 02:08:02.720 and then the player ended up messing with her. I mean, 2564 02:08:03.359 --> 02:08:05.920 I've covered stories like this. You understands saying I know 2565 02:08:06.000 --> 02:08:08.000 what I'm talking about. But what I'm saying to you 2566 02:08:08.199 --> 02:08:12.359 is that that's different. Two young consensing adults having a 2567 02:08:12.439 --> 02:08:16.000 relationship with one another is not a crime. The reason 2568 02:08:16.079 --> 02:08:19.000 why that story was so bad is because it implied 2569 02:08:19.680 --> 02:08:22.760 that the Dallas Wings went out and got Ozzi Fudd 2570 02:08:22.880 --> 02:08:26.319 because of the relationship with Paige Beckers. As opposed to 2571 02:08:26.439 --> 02:08:29.760 Ozzy Fudd being one of the elite players in college basketball, 2572 02:08:30.119 --> 02:08:33.840 This young lady is a sensational basketball player who proved 2573 02:08:33.880 --> 02:08:36.600 it time in and time out on the basketball court 2574 02:08:36.880 --> 02:08:40.399 that she was worthy of a stature as a top player. 2575 02:08:40.880 --> 02:08:44.760 So to imply that the only reason that the Dallas 2576 02:08:44.880 --> 02:08:47.840 Wings brought her on board as the number one overall 2577 02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:51.319 pick is because she's so tight with Tage Beckers is 2578 02:08:51.359 --> 02:08:55.199 an insult to her credentials and what she has established 2579 02:08:55.239 --> 02:08:59.159 and she has accomplished. That's not fair, you undersaid, because 2580 02:08:59.279 --> 02:09:03.600 look at just stripped strictly on her game. There's nobody 2581 02:09:03.680 --> 02:09:06.039 that could look at her and say, well, she wasn't 2582 02:09:06.039 --> 02:09:08.319 worthy of the number one over She's great, because that's great, 2583 02:09:08.359 --> 02:09:09.600 because that's just a complain. 2584 02:09:09.840 --> 02:09:10.640 Yeah she's great. 2585 02:09:10.840 --> 02:09:13.640 He's great. Yeah, No, she's great. And there'll be a 2586 02:09:13.680 --> 02:09:16.199 good basketball team this year, the Dallas Wings. I want 2587 02:09:16.239 --> 02:09:20.199 to move on over. I did catch your your monologue 2588 02:09:20.560 --> 02:09:22.319 of your show a couple of nights ago when you 2589 02:09:22.399 --> 02:09:26.479 talked specifically about President Trump and Iran, and I don't 2590 02:09:26.479 --> 02:09:27.920 know if you go you know, at this point, Steve, 2591 02:09:28.000 --> 02:09:30.680 I think you've come to find that even though I'm 2592 02:09:30.680 --> 02:09:32.640 a maga guy, and I love Trump and I have 2593 02:09:32.720 --> 02:09:36.039 a hard time criticizing him. That doesn't mean I don't. 2594 02:09:36.359 --> 02:09:38.600 And I think you've come to realize now that you 2595 02:09:38.680 --> 02:09:41.880 and I happened to agree a lot more than maybe 2596 02:09:41.920 --> 02:09:43.800 you would have thought before you and I started this 2597 02:09:44.479 --> 02:09:47.439 really great relationship and this great friendship, and I agreed 2598 02:09:47.479 --> 02:09:50.159 with just about everything you said just a couple of 2599 02:09:50.239 --> 02:09:52.319 nights ago on your show. But for the audience that 2600 02:09:52.399 --> 02:09:54.600 did not hear it, let him know how you feel 2601 02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:56.399 about this whole conflict in Iran. 2602 02:09:57.399 --> 02:10:00.279 Well, listen, I think that, first of all, I think 2603 02:10:00.359 --> 02:10:05.079 most of us as American citizens agree more than we disagree. 2604 02:10:05.640 --> 02:10:08.720 I just think that in the binary system that we're 2605 02:10:08.800 --> 02:10:12.000 living in, where we have two sides that have gone 2606 02:10:12.039 --> 02:10:15.920 to the extreme, you know, that kind of divide and 2607 02:10:16.039 --> 02:10:21.640 polarization has been stirred and instigated by politicians on Capitol Hill, 2608 02:10:21.840 --> 02:10:24.119 which is why they get on my damn nerves, which 2609 02:10:24.119 --> 02:10:26.399 is why I don't like them. You understand, I'm here 2610 02:10:26.640 --> 02:10:28.600 in Washington, d C. Because I'm going to the White 2611 02:10:28.640 --> 02:10:32.479 House Correspondence dinner tomorrow or tomorrow night, and I'm here 2612 02:10:32.520 --> 02:10:34.119 to tell you something. Right now. They asked me a 2613 02:10:34.199 --> 02:10:36.479 question about it. Folks will get their feelings hurt because 2614 02:10:36.520 --> 02:10:38.760 I'm sick and tired of what they're doing to this country. 2615 02:10:39.119 --> 02:10:42.359 You know, we're not that divided. We're reasonable people as 2616 02:10:42.439 --> 02:10:45.079 American citizens if we just sit down and talk with 2617 02:10:45.159 --> 02:10:48.279 one another. Having said that, here's my issue with President 2618 02:10:48.359 --> 02:10:52.439 Trump with the Iran situation. When you can see folks 2619 02:10:52.520 --> 02:10:55.239 in Maga turning against them, I don't blame them. You 2620 02:10:55.359 --> 02:10:58.600 advertise that, market it yourself as being America first. That 2621 02:10:58.760 --> 02:11:01.239 is not how you have come across you have you 2622 02:11:01.359 --> 02:11:03.960 have You have been doing a bit too many things 2623 02:11:04.279 --> 02:11:07.760 that have deviated from America being the priority. 2624 02:11:07.920 --> 02:11:10.560 But I'm telling you, but I can't make the argument Steven, 2625 02:11:10.640 --> 02:11:12.479 this one case for the Iran You're right, he's done 2626 02:11:12.520 --> 02:11:14.560 some things ago. But I can make the argument that 2627 02:11:14.760 --> 02:11:18.680 America first, Iran started this forty seven years ago, we 2628 02:11:18.760 --> 02:11:19.560 did nothing about it. 2629 02:11:20.239 --> 02:11:23.039 Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with that. I don't have a 2630 02:11:23.159 --> 02:11:26.720 problem with him attacking Iran. What I'm saying is is 2631 02:11:26.800 --> 02:11:29.880 inconsistent with what you said. You said you obliterated them 2632 02:11:30.680 --> 02:11:33.640 last June. True, and then suddenly you felt the need 2633 02:11:34.079 --> 02:11:36.920 to attack them again. Well, why you were either wrong 2634 02:11:37.039 --> 02:11:39.640 then or you're wrong. Now which one is it? Because 2635 02:11:39.680 --> 02:11:40.600 it's not consistent? 2636 02:11:40.960 --> 02:11:41.239 Okay? 2637 02:11:41.359 --> 02:11:44.319 And then secondly, where's the plan? How do we exit it? 2638 02:11:44.399 --> 02:11:47.680 Because you said no new wars, no forever wars. Well, 2639 02:11:47.720 --> 02:11:49.920 how is this ending? Are we sure it's gonna end? 2640 02:11:50.119 --> 02:11:52.520 It can't be believe me, believe me, no, but not 2641 02:11:52.640 --> 02:11:55.359 believing me? Where the facts? What are you gonna show us? 2642 02:11:55.720 --> 02:11:57.640 You know, people have a right to know that because 2643 02:11:57.640 --> 02:12:00.640 of the American citizens, what I've employed on you and 2644 02:12:00.720 --> 02:12:02.640 a lot of people on the right. A lot of times, 2645 02:12:03.119 --> 02:12:05.760 it ain't just about believing you. Sometimes you scaring the 2646 02:12:05.800 --> 02:12:08.520 living hell out of people, meaning him, because of the 2647 02:12:08.600 --> 02:12:12.000 tactic that he's willing to utilize. I understand it's totally 2648 02:12:12.079 --> 02:12:15.439 plausible that you might be talking, blustering and all of 2649 02:12:15.479 --> 02:12:17.239 this other stuff just to scare the living hell out 2650 02:12:17.279 --> 02:12:20.359 of people because that's your negotiation tactic. But we don't 2651 02:12:20.439 --> 02:12:23.359 know that for sure. We just don't. And so because 2652 02:12:23.399 --> 02:12:24.920 of that, you want to see a plan of action. 2653 02:12:25.079 --> 02:12:27.319 You want to see coordination. You want to make sure 2654 02:12:27.359 --> 02:12:29.399 that he's listening to the right people. You want to 2655 02:12:29.399 --> 02:12:31.640 make sure that he's doing within the best interest of 2656 02:12:31.760 --> 02:12:35.319 the American citizen, and far more often than not these days, 2657 02:12:35.680 --> 02:12:38.199 more so his second term than even his first term, 2658 02:12:38.520 --> 02:12:40.920 we've gotten the oppression that that's not the case. And 2659 02:12:41.039 --> 02:12:42.840 so that was the thing for me. I'm like, go 2660 02:12:42.920 --> 02:12:45.720 ahead and attack Ron because obviously, with what they've been 2661 02:12:45.800 --> 02:12:48.560 doing over the last forty seven years or so, it's unacceptable. 2662 02:12:48.560 --> 02:12:51.399 They've killed the American citizens, they've been a top sponsor 2663 02:12:51.479 --> 02:12:55.199 for terrorism around the world. They try to kill him. 2664 02:12:55.600 --> 02:12:59.039 They certainly have shown a propensity and a willingness to 2665 02:12:59.079 --> 02:13:01.840 do whatever harm to America that they can. Damn it, 2666 02:13:01.960 --> 02:13:04.880 get their asses. I got it. But in the same breath, 2667 02:13:05.199 --> 02:13:07.680 you also got to be consistent. If you're saying this 2668 02:13:07.880 --> 02:13:10.199 is what the issue is, don't change it up. And 2669 02:13:10.319 --> 02:13:14.239 in the meantime, don't ignore affordability issues in this country. 2670 02:13:15.079 --> 02:13:18.039 Don't avoid safety in the streets, don't avoid these things 2671 02:13:18.079 --> 02:13:20.159 that are going on in America that needs your attention 2672 02:13:20.279 --> 02:13:20.640 as well. 2673 02:13:20.960 --> 02:13:22.880 Mother With the safety in the streets, I mean, look, 2674 02:13:23.039 --> 02:13:26.760 the guy has sent his people to a bunch of cities, 2675 02:13:26.840 --> 02:13:29.039 including are you going to be tomorrow night? That's a 2676 02:13:29.119 --> 02:13:30.880 much safer city because of Trump. 2677 02:13:31.880 --> 02:13:34.359 Well, listen, you can say that, and I'm not even 2678 02:13:34.399 --> 02:13:36.880 going to disagree with that. But in the same breath, 2679 02:13:37.119 --> 02:13:39.439 here's what I will portion you about because a lot 2680 02:13:39.520 --> 02:13:42.319 of times with people know, so many people are so 2681 02:13:42.520 --> 02:13:46.239 enthralled with him that they're forgetting the importance of precedents. 2682 02:13:46.439 --> 02:13:48.159 When you look at the Supreme Court and some of 2683 02:13:48.199 --> 02:13:50.239 the decisions that they have made and what they're going 2684 02:13:50.319 --> 02:13:52.920 to make in the future. Said, take this into consideration. 2685 02:13:53.319 --> 02:13:58.880 How many times is precedent deferred to when a decision 2686 02:13:59.000 --> 02:14:01.439 is being made. A lot of times people are so 2687 02:14:01.680 --> 02:14:05.239 gung ho about Trump, they're like, year, go ahead, go ahead, 2688 02:14:05.560 --> 02:14:09.760 not remembering he's going in twenty twenty eight, twenty second Amendment, 2689 02:14:09.800 --> 02:14:12.600 ain't getting circumvented. Somebody else is going to be in there. 2690 02:14:12.840 --> 02:14:15.079 They don't have his cachet, they don't have his pro badal, 2691 02:14:15.159 --> 02:14:17.520 they don't have this swag, they don't have his ability 2692 02:14:17.600 --> 02:14:21.319 to deliver and cultivate this communication in this relationship with 2693 02:14:21.520 --> 02:14:23.880 his people. They don't have those things going on. So 2694 02:14:24.000 --> 02:14:26.840 when you allow him to get away with just anything okay, 2695 02:14:27.079 --> 02:14:28.800 and you stay hell with the law on the books, 2696 02:14:29.039 --> 02:14:31.399 hell with all of this nonsense. We need this done now, 2697 02:14:31.800 --> 02:14:33.560 whe then the next president is going to have an 2698 02:14:33.600 --> 02:14:36.119 excuse And what if that's a Democrat that is completely 2699 02:14:36.199 --> 02:14:39.159 against everything that said. Rosenberg and some of the people 2700 02:14:39.199 --> 02:14:41.800 that vibe with you believe in what are you going 2701 02:14:41.880 --> 02:14:44.239 to feel like? Then you got to be careful about 2702 02:14:44.239 --> 02:14:46.800 all that. That's what makes our country great, that we 2703 02:14:46.920 --> 02:14:49.239 have a standard that we live on, a rule of 2704 02:14:49.439 --> 02:14:53.119 law that makes sure that's applicable to everybody, so nobody 2705 02:14:53.199 --> 02:14:56.520 gets to use the excuse of circumventing it. Whether it's Obama, 2706 02:14:56.840 --> 02:15:00.720 whether it's w Bush, whether it was Clinton, whether it's 2707 02:15:00.840 --> 02:15:03.680 body whether it's somebody in the future. You want to 2708 02:15:03.880 --> 02:15:08.000 guard the interest of the country, not the interest of 2709 02:15:08.119 --> 02:15:11.479 the individual you so happen to like that happens to 2710 02:15:11.560 --> 02:15:14.319 be in office at this particular moment in time. You 2711 02:15:14.479 --> 02:15:15.680 have to be careful about that. 2712 02:15:16.680 --> 02:15:19.680 And this is why you're a major superstar. We started 2713 02:15:19.720 --> 02:15:21.920 talking about the Nicks and the Hawks, we talked about 2714 02:15:21.920 --> 02:15:25.359 the NFL draft, we talked about Russini and Rabel and 2715 02:15:25.520 --> 02:15:28.520 you closed out with the very sensible, I mean this 2716 02:15:29.039 --> 02:15:32.279 very common sense approach to the presidency and how this 2717 02:15:32.479 --> 02:15:35.439 country can heal. That's why steven A, I love you. 2718 02:15:35.720 --> 02:15:38.359 That's why you're a superstar, and that's why I know 2719 02:15:38.479 --> 02:15:41.039 it's going to cost you about fifty million dollars. But 2720 02:15:41.159 --> 02:15:42.479 you still got to run in twenty eight. 2721 02:15:44.119 --> 02:15:46.119 I'm not giving up my money. They're not getting me 2722 02:15:46.199 --> 02:15:47.960 to do that. They're not getting me to do that. 2723 02:15:48.520 --> 02:15:52.039 I glad I will gladly listen for me personally said, 2724 02:15:52.039 --> 02:15:53.960 I'll tell you this right now. It ain't even about 2725 02:15:54.039 --> 02:15:56.319 being an office so much for me. I would give 2726 02:15:56.399 --> 02:16:00.359 anything to be on that debate stage and stand next 2727 02:16:00.439 --> 02:16:03.680 to these politicians were up and down that they've had 2728 02:16:03.760 --> 02:16:06.880 the interest of the American people and stand in front 2729 02:16:06.920 --> 02:16:09.520 of my face and say that, because I would tell 2730 02:16:09.520 --> 02:16:10.720 you right now, I think I'd. 2731 02:16:10.520 --> 02:16:13.319 Eat them alive because I know they have I know they. 2732 02:16:13.279 --> 02:16:15.640 Haven't done that. And that's my whole point. It's like, 2733 02:16:16.600 --> 02:16:20.720 I don't vibe with everything sid Rosenberg says. Everything you 2734 02:16:20.840 --> 02:16:25.119 say ain't wrong. Everything Trump does is not wrong. Everything 2735 02:16:25.199 --> 02:16:28.039 that comes out of Marc or Rubio's mouth is not wrong. 2736 02:16:28.399 --> 02:16:30.760 The same applies to the Democrat. There's some things you're 2737 02:16:30.800 --> 02:16:32.799 right about, there's some things you may be wrong about. 2738 02:16:33.200 --> 02:16:36.760 Sit down, be adults, talk about it, and stop trying 2739 02:16:36.840 --> 02:16:40.959 to position yourself just to turn the American people against 2740 02:16:41.040 --> 02:16:43.680 one another. I know that I wouldn't be that person 2741 02:16:44.040 --> 02:16:45.479 I know that I stand up and say, you know 2742 02:16:45.559 --> 02:16:47.360 what does a damn good point? You know what them 2743 02:16:47.440 --> 02:16:49.559 borders like like? You know, with all the liberals that 2744 02:16:49.639 --> 02:16:51.360 I know, you're not going to tell me that we 2745 02:16:51.479 --> 02:16:53.639 did the wrong thing by closing the borders. When you 2746 02:16:53.799 --> 02:16:55.959 open them and you're let twelve to fifteen million people 2747 02:16:56.000 --> 02:16:58.040 in the country, you can't tell me that. Now. I 2748 02:16:58.120 --> 02:17:01.760 don't like the optics with and how that was utilized. 2749 02:17:01.799 --> 02:17:06.440 Minnesota's one example, la Portland, Chicago, places like that. But 2750 02:17:06.600 --> 02:17:10.920 there is no denying that closing the borders was necessary. 2751 02:17:11.239 --> 02:17:13.760 It's just about how you do things. You can't sit 2752 02:17:13.879 --> 02:17:16.120 up there and complain about the borders being closed when 2753 02:17:16.159 --> 02:17:19.040 you said nothing when Obama deported three point one million people. 2754 02:17:19.239 --> 02:17:20.639 We ain't getting away with that. We're not going to 2755 02:17:20.639 --> 02:17:23.719 be hypocrites. But in the same breath, how you handle 2756 02:17:23.840 --> 02:17:27.959 stuff matters because it assuages the concerns of the American people. 2757 02:17:28.319 --> 02:17:30.959 It brings a calmness to us that we know things 2758 02:17:31.000 --> 02:17:33.920 are happening with adults in the rooms. Don't talk to 2759 02:17:34.000 --> 02:17:38.280 me about Pushner and whitkof going over as envoys to us, 2760 02:17:38.399 --> 02:17:41.760 and those are our most qualified individuals to do it. 2761 02:17:42.040 --> 02:17:44.959 We gotta be able to do better than that. Stuff 2762 02:17:45.079 --> 02:17:47.079 like that is what I'm talking about here. And if 2763 02:17:47.120 --> 02:17:49.159 you talk to the American people with that kind of sense, 2764 02:17:49.360 --> 02:17:51.079 I think it goes along with Stephen. 2765 02:17:51.079 --> 02:17:54.479 You're beautiful and enjoy the White House correspondence. Send it 2766 02:17:54.520 --> 02:17:57.040 tomorrow night, and good luck to one Nick's in game 2767 02:17:57.120 --> 02:18:00.440 four tomorrow and let's do this again very very soon. 2768 02:18:00.520 --> 02:18:03.079 You really are. You're terrific, Steve, really, thank you so much. 2769 02:18:03.159 --> 02:18:05.719 That was great anytime, man, you take it easy. 2770 02:18:05.799 --> 02:18:06.280 You're the best. 2771 02:18:06.319 --> 02:18:09.200 Stephen A. Smith, he is a great guest and a 2772 02:18:09.280 --> 02:18:12.799 terrific guy. We become really good friends. That was one 2773 02:18:13.120 --> 02:18:15.559 your papa didn't see coming, did you. I'm not sure 2774 02:18:15.600 --> 02:18:18.159 if it's more shocking Randy Levine, the president of the 2775 02:18:18.159 --> 02:18:18.920 New York Yankees. 2776 02:18:18.959 --> 02:18:19.479 So Stephen A. 2777 02:18:19.600 --> 02:18:21.840 Smith. But both of those guys are terrific guys. 2778 02:18:21.879 --> 02:18:23.319 We'll take them that debate stage. 2779 02:18:23.319 --> 02:18:26.120 Would be scared him. Come up, Hey, listen the guy. 2780 02:18:26.399 --> 02:18:28.040 He's smart. He makes a lot of sense. 2781 02:18:28.719 --> 02:18:30.959 Terrified to see he'd kill him, eat him up. 2782 02:18:31.040 --> 02:18:33.319 He eat him up, he eat him with them. Yeah, 2783 02:18:33.600 --> 02:18:35.159 I'm gonna take a break. We have a lot more 2784 02:18:35.239 --> 02:18:38.600 smart people still. Look come the relentless patriot, the brilliant artist, 2785 02:18:39.120 --> 02:18:42.159 my man Scott Lobato out of Staten Island, and my 2786 02:18:42.479 --> 02:18:45.520 main man of forty eight years, the brilliant defense attorney. 2787 02:18:45.559 --> 02:18:47.879 And now mister Army, I call him mister Army. The 2788 02:18:47.959 --> 02:18:49.120 great Joseph Tacapino. 2789 02:18:49.200 --> 02:18:52.840 All that still a com Sid and Friends in the 2790 02:18:52.920 --> 02:18:57.120 Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network, nine. 2791 02:18:57.079 --> 02:19:00.639 Thirteen, Friday Morning, been a great Shaw, Ryan kill Me 2792 02:19:00.959 --> 02:19:05.760 was here, Randy Sutton, Blair White? Can you even tell 2793 02:19:05.879 --> 02:19:08.879 whill be completely honest? Can you even tell that Blair 2794 02:19:08.959 --> 02:19:10.159 White was ever a boy? 2795 02:19:11.440 --> 02:19:14.520 I'm incapable of being completely honest, So there's a lot 2796 02:19:14.600 --> 02:19:18.799 of me all right, can phrase it again? Because I 2797 02:19:18.879 --> 02:19:20.159 don't was. 2798 02:19:20.159 --> 02:19:24.200 There any evidence that that person, that lady Blair White, 2799 02:19:24.319 --> 02:19:27.200 the transgender who was in this studio earlier this morning, 2800 02:19:27.479 --> 02:19:28.159 was ever a boy? 2801 02:19:29.920 --> 02:19:31.520 I had I could see slight. 2802 02:19:31.840 --> 02:19:33.159 Really I didn't see it. 2803 02:19:33.280 --> 02:19:37.000 Yes, But maybe I'm maybe I'm just biased because I knew. 2804 02:19:36.760 --> 02:19:39.319 Woll I think, so maybe that's it. Probably they're probably 2805 02:19:39.479 --> 02:19:42.440 being honest, okay, because this doctor did a good job. 2806 02:19:42.520 --> 02:19:44.799 Looks amazing, I know, looks amazing. 2807 02:19:44.959 --> 02:19:47.799 Kath mcfalland was great.

He's also mister Army these days, 2810 02:19:53.159 --> 02:19:55.159 and he's great on this show every Foday. And I 2811 02:19:55.200 --> 02:19:57.280 think he's a Raiders fan. I'm pretty sure he is, 2812 02:19:57.719 --> 02:19:59.440 So maybe he's excited before I get to that. I 2813 02:19:59.520 --> 02:20:02.639 did mention last segment that you'd be surprised that Stephen A. 2814 02:20:02.719 --> 02:20:05.399 Smith and Randy Levine, the President Yankees, have become good friends. 2815 02:20:06.120 --> 02:20:08.959 I did say this earlier. Steve Cohen reached out to 2816 02:20:09.000 --> 02:20:11.399 me yesterday, which is very nice. He didn't have to. 2817 02:20:11.520 --> 02:20:14.040 He did the owner of the New York Mets, and 2818 02:20:14.479 --> 02:20:17.360 we had a great fifteen minute phone call where he 2819 02:20:17.520 --> 02:20:21.360 said to me, and I quote, I want a relationship here. 2820 02:20:21.639 --> 02:20:24.440 So I'm going to the met Yankee game in Queen's 2821 02:20:24.680 --> 02:20:27.719 on the fifteenth of May with Bill O'Reilly and Cohen said, 2822 02:20:27.760 --> 02:20:29.600 you're sitting with me. You're gonna be in my in 2823 02:20:29.719 --> 02:20:33.520 my suite, and we're going to start this conversation because 2824 02:20:33.559 --> 02:20:36.200 he admitted basically that I'm a big voice in New York, 2825 02:20:36.239 --> 02:20:40.120 if not the biggest, and he wants to have a 2826 02:20:41.200 --> 02:20:44.200 good relationship. So it was a great phone call. I 2827 02:20:44.319 --> 02:20:48.239 cannot share the specifics about all the subjects that have 2828 02:20:48.360 --> 02:20:50.959 bothered me. We discussed all of them, but I will 2829 02:20:51.000 --> 02:20:53.440 maybe had a letter date. So just wanted Joseph to know, 2830 02:20:53.600 --> 02:20:56.760 because he's a metman as well, that at the very least, 2831 02:20:57.360 --> 02:20:59.879 Steve Cohen and I on a very good terms tac 2832 02:21:00.120 --> 02:21:00.719 very good terms. 2833 02:21:02.440 --> 02:21:03.840 Yeah, I'm happy, sir.

You know, I love you 2836 02:21:08.159 --> 02:21:11.120 and I care about you. But every time I see 2837 02:21:11.159 --> 02:21:14.360 the Mets lose, which is every day they. 2838 02:21:14.360 --> 02:21:18.040 Want to strike, we want to still go to the 2839 02:21:18.079 --> 02:21:20.479 World Series.

But as Mark I said, 2875 02:22:41.399 --> 02:22:43.760 we're drafting Mendoz right. I was convinced we're going to 2876 02:22:43.840 --> 02:22:45.840 draft a punter with the first pick of the draft 2877 02:22:46.079 --> 02:22:46.959 up until yesterday. 2878 02:22:47.000 --> 02:22:49.399 So I'm so happy right now. 2879 02:22:49.440 --> 02:22:49.879 They did good. 2880 02:22:49.920 --> 02:22:51.840 But I do want to ask you quickly about because 2881 02:22:51.840 --> 02:22:53.760 you know this team better than anybody. You saw Mark 2882 02:22:53.840 --> 02:22:56.920 Davis at the championship game, mind Polkes. That was Miami 2883 02:22:56.959 --> 02:22:59.719 against Indiana, and Joseph has a great relationship with the 2884 02:22:59.760 --> 02:23:04.559 Herr Kaine's great the kid. The Giants shocked everybody the guard. 2885 02:23:04.840 --> 02:23:08.040 The Giants took number ten overall first round pick. They 2886 02:23:08.200 --> 02:23:12.159 traded Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati to get this kid, Magoa 2887 02:23:12.319 --> 02:23:13.959 Magawi from the Hurricanes. 2888 02:23:14.040 --> 02:23:17.760 Mawg, Yeah, how is He's amazing? So he was the 2889 02:23:18.159 --> 02:23:20.360 I think he was the best offensive eleven college last year. 2890 02:23:20.399 --> 02:23:22.879 He is he is a rocket, is one of those 2891 02:23:22.920 --> 02:23:26.200 Samoan beasts, like he's like a tree. But he's also 2892 02:23:26.280 --> 02:23:29.440 a great guy leader. It was a great, a really 2893 02:23:29.520 --> 02:23:31.920 great pick. Giants had a hell of a draft, by 2894 02:23:31.959 --> 02:23:34.479 the way, you know, And I just think that was 2895 02:23:34.559 --> 02:23:36.879 that was a great pick. And by the way, you know, 2896 02:23:37.120 --> 02:23:39.239 I don't even want to view was back anymore because 2897 02:23:39.559 --> 02:23:41.600 we're back to that where we are. We're here, We're here. 2898 02:23:42.040 --> 02:23:44.000 But we had three guys drafted in the first. 2899 02:23:43.879 --> 02:23:46.680 Round, so it was three, you're right, it was three. 2900 02:23:46.799 --> 02:23:48.040 Yeah, that's a big deal. 2901 02:23:49.799 --> 02:23:50.799 Yeah, exactly. 2902 02:23:50.879 --> 02:23:51.920 So who's the quarterback again? 2903 02:23:51.959 --> 02:23:52.239 This year? 2904 02:23:52.280 --> 02:23:53.000 We got somebody else? 2905 02:23:53.040 --> 02:23:56.840 Could mensa? Oh right, mensa from I saw. I was 2906 02:23:56.920 --> 02:23:58.920 at the spring game last Saturday on the sideline with 2907 02:23:59.079 --> 02:24:01.479 Mario and and the coaches and watching that thing. And 2908 02:24:01.799 --> 02:24:04.440 this kid, Oh my god, this kid looks amazing. Bro, 2909 02:24:04.639 --> 02:24:07.520 he looks amazing. He came from Duke, right, Duke. Yeah, 2910 02:24:07.600 --> 02:24:10.280 he's his one hundred yard a thousand yard receiver with 2911 02:24:10.399 --> 02:24:12.639 this little white guy. It looks like he should be 2912 02:24:12.799 --> 02:24:16.760 in glee club. But he's amazing too. I mean, you know, 2913 02:24:16.920 --> 02:24:19.479 all right, let's go Hurricane, let's see all right. 2914 02:24:19.520 --> 02:24:21.200 So that's all. That's all the good news. The bad 2915 02:24:21.319 --> 02:24:23.920 news is is that last I checked, you and I 2916 02:24:24.159 --> 02:24:28.360 still love and live and work in a city where 2917 02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:31.159 somebody like Ken Griffin, I know, you know him, Joseph 2918 02:24:31.280 --> 02:24:34.440 with somebody like Ken Griffin is now a criminal only 2919 02:24:34.479 --> 02:24:35.000 in this city. 2920 02:24:35.079 --> 02:24:39.639 Right, It's just unreal. I mean, what Mandami did by 2921 02:24:39.760 --> 02:24:43.239 going there and doing that little stunt of his. You know, 2922 02:24:43.399 --> 02:24:45.159 you know Ken Griffin's done to the city, right, I 2923 02:24:45.239 --> 02:24:48.360 mean for the city he has donated still handling the 2924 02:24:48.440 --> 02:24:52.280 philanthropic causes to the tune of about six hundred million 2925 02:24:52.760 --> 02:24:56.239 piece in New York City. Okay, he just perched the 2926 02:24:56.319 --> 02:24:59.840 home for what two point two eighty three at the 2927 02:24:59.840 --> 02:25:04.639 ten at two hundred eighty twenty three eight billion. That's 2928 02:25:04.879 --> 02:25:06.399 that's spending money in New York City. 2929 02:25:06.520 --> 02:25:06.799 Okay. 2930 02:25:07.760 --> 02:25:10.719 Citadel, his company and its affiliates are paid over two 2931 02:25:10.799 --> 02:25:14.559 point three billion in taxes in the last five years. Okay, 2932 02:25:15.159 --> 02:25:19.079 So without guys like that, you know, the taxing, the ritual, 2933 02:25:19.159 --> 02:25:22.719 that nonsense that he does, we would be hurting so badly. 2934 02:25:22.840 --> 02:25:26.719 I mean, Citadel now is reconsidering a six billion dollars 2935 02:25:26.719 --> 02:25:30.239 in new city development project because of Wolden's nonsense with Mndami. 2936 02:25:30.600 --> 02:25:32.959 So that's really really great. Isn't that really great that 2937 02:25:33.079 --> 02:25:36.040 that Mundammie is making like a clown of themselves. 2938 02:25:36.120 --> 02:25:38.399 And by the way, not just not just the money, Joseph, 2939 02:25:38.479 --> 02:25:41.120 six billion dollars and like you pointed out, people like 2940 02:25:41.239 --> 02:25:44.159 him and my boss love him. John Catchment, Titi's Blackmen 2941 02:25:44.159 --> 02:25:48.639 they pay these taxes. His his project at three fifty Park, 2942 02:25:48.879 --> 02:25:52.440 you're looking at the very least six thousand construction workers 2943 02:25:52.680 --> 02:25:56.079 fifteen thousand total employees. Right then, you got people have 2944 02:25:56.159 --> 02:25:57.559 to live here, They got to pay for that, They 2945 02:25:57.600 --> 02:26:00.239 have to go to restaurants. The revenue of of and 2946 02:26:00.360 --> 02:26:03.879 beyond the actual project is all money. But New York City, 2947 02:26:04.200 --> 02:26:05.200 what is this guy doing? 2948 02:26:05.479 --> 02:26:07.559 Really threatened to our core as a city. You know, 2949 02:26:07.920 --> 02:26:09.639 basically what this says, New York City is the greatest 2950 02:26:09.639 --> 02:26:12.200 city in the world. It's the global financial capital of 2951 02:26:12.280 --> 02:26:14.680 the world. It's where you know, if you make it here, 2952 02:26:15.120 --> 02:26:17.360 you can make it anywhere, right Frank said, that's not true. 2953 02:26:17.639 --> 02:26:20.440 So so so you know, here's the crazy part. What 2954 02:26:20.680 --> 02:26:23.959 this message sends. The one mondaminance given is success in 2955 02:26:24.000 --> 02:26:27.440 New York City is a liability. Okay, it's liability and 2956 02:26:27.600 --> 02:26:29.959 and and you know, hedge funds are leaving thanks for 2957 02:26:30.040 --> 02:26:34.520 shrinking in presence, talent is leaving and talent follows money, 2958 02:26:34.559 --> 02:26:38.200 by the way, right, So so it's just it's unbelievable 2959 02:26:38.200 --> 02:26:40.120 when the great cities are in decline and then you 2960 02:26:40.200 --> 02:26:41.959 have someone like this. You know, you don't grow with 2961 02:26:42.040 --> 02:26:44.440 city by punishing the people funding the city. 2962 02:26:44.600 --> 02:26:45.200 You idiots. 2963 02:26:45.520 --> 02:26:48.959 Okay, it's just impacting the rich. It's exporting the rich. 2964 02:26:49.200 --> 02:26:51.959 But it's not what it's making sure everyone who has 2965 02:26:52.040 --> 02:26:54.120 the ware results that spend money in this great city 2966 02:26:54.520 --> 02:26:55.079 has to leave. 2967 02:26:55.719 --> 02:26:55.840 Uh. 2968 02:26:56.040 --> 02:26:57.680 You know, it's just it's it's it's it's you can't 2969 02:26:57.760 --> 02:27:00.000 run New York City like a protest movement. It's it's 2970 02:27:00.120 --> 02:27:02.520 an economic engine. I love that so disgusting. 2971 02:27:02.719 --> 02:27:05.159 I love that. Have you put that anywhere like so 2972 02:27:05.520 --> 02:27:08.040 you cannot run the city like a protest I love that. 2973 02:27:09.000 --> 02:27:10.760 A protest movement. That's what he's running like that. I 2974 02:27:10.840 --> 02:27:14.719 know it's a protest movement. That's all that Stunty did yesterday. 2975 02:27:15.040 --> 02:27:18.360 It's one of the cities great, great institutions, one of 2976 02:27:18.399 --> 02:27:20.520 the great sort of contributors to the New York City 2977 02:27:20.559 --> 02:27:21.600 philanthropic scene. 2978 02:27:22.680 --> 02:27:23.319 Was ridiculous. 2979 02:27:23.559 --> 02:27:24.159 It was terrible. 2980 02:27:24.479 --> 02:27:26.680 It's running the city like a protest movement. 2981 02:27:27.079 --> 02:27:27.440 I love that. 2982 02:27:27.559 --> 02:27:29.239 I'm gonna use that. I'm going to steal that from you. 2983 02:27:29.479 --> 02:27:32.360 It's not just ridiculous, it's actually disgraceful. Ken Griffin is 2984 02:27:32.399 --> 02:27:36.639 a terrific guy and a very successful guy, and we 2985 02:27:36.719 --> 02:27:41.079 should be celebrating people who are successful and uh, and 2986 02:27:41.239 --> 02:27:43.559 not turning them, treating them like their criminals. I do 2987 02:27:43.680 --> 02:27:45.319 want to get back to the war for a second. 2988 02:27:45.360 --> 02:27:49.440 You've been great with this. I had Kat mcfallan on earlier. 2989 02:27:49.600 --> 02:27:52.000 She's great too. She worked for Trump, she worked for 2990 02:27:52.079 --> 02:27:55.159 for President. She's on Box News almost every day, she's 2991 02:27:55.200 --> 02:27:57.639 on this show every Friday. I think she's great, but 2992 02:27:57.879 --> 02:27:59.159 she is all in here. 2993 02:27:59.479 --> 02:27:59.760 I mean. 2994 02:28:00.120 --> 02:28:02.000 So, I pointed out some of the things that was 2995 02:28:02.079 --> 02:28:04.360 provided to me by a friend who happened to be 2996 02:28:04.440 --> 02:28:06.959 at the Pentagon this week. That person will remain nameless, 2997 02:28:07.360 --> 02:28:09.600 talking about how the straight up her moves wasn't an 2998 02:28:09.600 --> 02:28:12.280 issue before and now it is, how a nuclear weapon 2999 02:28:12.399 --> 02:28:15.360 really wasn't on its way now it may be all 3000 02:28:15.440 --> 02:28:17.479 the five or six different things. I read them one 3001 02:28:17.559 --> 02:28:20.319 by one, and her quote to me was, well, they're 3002 02:28:20.319 --> 02:28:22.920 all untrue. Every one of those are on true. I said, well, 3003 02:28:23.680 --> 02:28:28.479 do you think that maybe the president keeps ceasefire, cease fire, 3004 02:28:28.559 --> 02:28:32.000 ceasefire because truth be told, he's not exactly sure what 3005 02:28:32.120 --> 02:28:34.639 to do next and maybe was stuck. And she was 3006 02:28:34.760 --> 02:28:37.520 revolted by that, actual suggestions revolted. 3007 02:28:38.760 --> 02:28:44.040 So you know, deadlines that keep moving don't pressure your adversary. 3008 02:28:44.479 --> 02:28:47.799 They empower your adversary, because how many times has the 3009 02:28:47.840 --> 02:28:52.280 President said, if this doesn't happen, we're going to obliterate 3010 02:28:52.399 --> 02:28:55.680 their civilization. We're going to by this date, you know 3011 02:28:55.879 --> 02:28:58.879 last time it was by Tuesday night. If this isn't done, 3012 02:28:59.159 --> 02:29:01.799 we're going to rank hell on them. They'll never going 3013 02:29:01.879 --> 02:29:03.440 to put them back into the stone age where they 3014 02:29:03.479 --> 02:29:06.399 belong to that ago seventeen days ago. 3015 02:29:06.479 --> 02:29:06.840 That's right. 3016 02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:10.239 And and you know, a ram store like laughing at 3017 02:29:10.319 --> 02:29:12.239 us a little bit. Right, they're making posts like going, 3018 02:29:12.319 --> 02:29:16.159 oh is that eight pm Eastern Standard time or Indian times? 3019 02:29:16.239 --> 02:29:16.360 Right? 3020 02:29:16.520 --> 02:29:18.799 You know, it's like they did that, really they did. 3021 02:29:18.879 --> 02:29:21.760 They posted in response to that threat because they knew 3022 02:29:21.760 --> 02:29:23.639 it wasn't gonna happen. I mean, if they were really scared, 3023 02:29:23.680 --> 02:29:26.680 they wouldn't be mocking that threat. And what's happening is 3024 02:29:26.719 --> 02:29:29.920 every time we keep doing this, every time we keep 3025 02:29:30.040 --> 02:29:33.760 moving away, it chips away the terms because now all 3026 02:29:33.840 --> 02:29:36.319 red lines looks lex flexible, like these ends of the 3027 02:29:36.440 --> 02:29:41.440 world had deadlines look flexible. And once your adversary believes 3028 02:29:41.520 --> 02:29:44.879 you won't act decisively, you've already lost grounds. So the 3029 02:29:45.000 --> 02:29:47.319 essential of this seas far with the rand is being 3030 02:29:47.360 --> 02:29:49.440 sold to stability. But it's actually the opposite. To me, 3031 02:29:50.000 --> 02:29:52.280 it's a sound that there's really no clear path forward 3032 02:29:52.319 --> 02:29:55.040 because when you have leverage, you don't extend, you conclude, 3033 02:29:55.520 --> 02:29:58.000 you dictate the terms. Right. I mean, I remember President 3034 02:29:58.000 --> 02:30:01.959 Trump saying there's no one negotiation here. This is a 3035 02:30:02.200 --> 02:30:06.639 complete and total surrender. They will surrender to all of 3036 02:30:06.680 --> 02:30:09.200 our times, right. And now we're trying to negotiate with them. 3037 02:30:09.239 --> 02:30:11.079 And because we haven't done it, we're going to extend 3038 02:30:11.120 --> 02:30:13.639 it again for another three weeks. And I guarantee you 3039 02:30:13.719 --> 02:30:14.719 that's going to be extended again. 3040 02:30:14.959 --> 02:30:15.440 Great cluse. 3041 02:30:15.479 --> 02:30:17.879 What we can't do is keep doing this. We can't 3042 02:30:17.920 --> 02:30:20.719 keep fighting. We're in a war that has no end 3043 02:30:20.799 --> 02:30:23.799 in sight. And said, I'm telling you this is if 3044 02:30:23.840 --> 02:30:27.000 this comes from the real war fighters I'm talking from, right, 3045 02:30:27.559 --> 02:30:31.479 this is we're in a pickle here, we really are. Okay, 3046 02:30:31.600 --> 02:30:33.959 this is not something where you know we have the 3047 02:30:34.000 --> 02:30:36.639 ability to go in there and molliterate them, because we can't. 3048 02:30:37.520 --> 02:30:40.559 We're in a massive hole financially. Also, don't forget, we're 3049 02:30:40.639 --> 02:30:44.520 kind of ammunision. Okay, the war is burning. Listen to 3050 02:30:44.600 --> 02:30:50.079 this number the burning, and roughly one billion would be 3051 02:30:50.639 --> 02:30:54.319 dollars per day. No, okay, sid I swear that's all. 3052 02:30:54.760 --> 02:30:57.559 These are Pentagon numbers. One billion a day in six 3053 02:30:57.719 --> 02:31:00.879 days we spent over eleven point three and that was 3054 02:31:00.959 --> 02:31:04.120 only partial accounting. It doesn't include all these pre war 3055 02:31:04.200 --> 02:31:06.879 build up, the troop deployment, and long term replacement costs. 3056 02:31:07.360 --> 02:31:09.680 It's just crazy. This is war. This is like a 3057 02:31:09.760 --> 02:31:13.600 financial free fall with no killing. And it's it's it's scary, 3058 02:31:13.680 --> 02:31:16.360 and that's you know, we're in this particamly. 3059 02:31:15.879 --> 02:31:18.520 And and I don't care what taking for aside. 3060 02:31:18.520 --> 02:31:21.360 I respect her in all, But if right now, if 3061 02:31:21.399 --> 02:31:23.639 we can get this from Iran, if we can get 3062 02:31:24.680 --> 02:31:29.520 they don't control the straight anymore. Their oil is sanctioned, 3063 02:31:30.959 --> 02:31:36.559 and they will not build nuclear weapons, right right, So, 3064 02:31:38.319 --> 02:31:41.920 and all the US bases in the Gulf become assets again, 3065 02:31:42.000 --> 02:31:44.239 not liabuildings. Right if we got those three things. 3066 02:31:44.639 --> 02:31:47.440 We win not really want to see. Not even then 3067 02:31:47.600 --> 02:31:51.520 I disagree. What about the IOG, what about the IRGC? 3068 02:31:51.719 --> 02:31:54.079 What about those psychos? Will still be in charge, They'll 3069 02:31:54.159 --> 02:31:55.360 just do the same thing in ten. 3070 02:31:55.319 --> 02:31:57.639 Year regime change. There is no regime change there. What 3071 02:31:57.760 --> 02:31:58.280 are you kidding me? 3072 02:31:58.399 --> 02:31:59.879 Well, you got you gotta kill you gotta go and 3073 02:32:00.079 --> 02:32:01.920 all these RGC guys, you gotta take them out. 3074 02:32:01.959 --> 02:32:03.319 I'm sorry, got to kill them. 3075 02:32:03.399 --> 02:32:07.399 They're embedded in the society thereway, we're never changing it, right, 3076 02:32:07.719 --> 02:32:10.079 We're never changing it. And by the way, I thought 3077 02:32:10.120 --> 02:32:12.000 we weren't supposed to do that, right. I thought that 3078 02:32:12.120 --> 02:32:14.079 was the new problems because I've watched a lot of 3079 02:32:14.440 --> 02:32:16.959 clips and footage where everyone in this administration, from the 3080 02:32:17.000 --> 02:32:20.840 President to the Vice President, to the Second War to 3081 02:32:21.680 --> 02:32:25.319 Tulci Gabbart, all these people saying the same thing. We're 3082 02:32:25.319 --> 02:32:28.319 not fighting other country wars anymore. We're not fighting stupid 3083 02:32:29.040 --> 02:32:30.639 you know, endless wars where we used. 3084 02:32:31.040 --> 02:32:33.559 But this wasn't a stupid war and they started at 3085 02:32:33.559 --> 02:32:36.559 forty seven years ago. I just don't know if we 3086 02:32:36.680 --> 02:32:39.559 ever really had a great plan from the beginning. 3087 02:32:39.760 --> 02:32:41.559 No, No, we definitely did have a great plan in 3088 02:32:41.639 --> 02:32:43.399 the beginning, because if you have a great plan in 3089 02:32:43.479 --> 02:32:46.879 the beginning, you protect your basis and your embassies. First move, 3090 02:32:47.319 --> 02:32:50.559 second move, you secure the straight before you go in, 3091 02:32:50.680 --> 02:32:53.200 not actually go in. And because we didn't secure our 3092 02:32:53.200 --> 02:32:56.479 basis embassies, we lost a lot of human life, American lives, 3093 02:32:56.879 --> 02:32:59.799 and our basis embassies are gone. They are a liabilities. 3094 02:32:59.840 --> 02:33:02.959 Now they're not all stranglehold anymore. And the strait is 3095 02:33:03.040 --> 02:33:05.479 now you know, we're negotiating, and now that they're putting 3096 02:33:05.639 --> 02:33:08.319 land mines down maybe or you know, minds under the straight. 3097 02:33:10.559 --> 02:33:11.040 It's a mess. 3098 02:33:11.239 --> 02:33:11.840 It is a mess. 3099 02:33:11.879 --> 02:33:14.200 And I'm telling you we have an ammunition problem. 3100 02:33:14.799 --> 02:33:16.760 No, I believe it, and they don't because they're getting 3101 02:33:16.959 --> 02:33:19.440 They don't, none of the Russians. I keep reading every 3102 02:33:19.479 --> 02:33:23.000 day NBC. Hey, you know whatever Pete Heeks has said, 3103 02:33:23.040 --> 02:33:25.719 it's not true. They are they are fine, They've got 3104 02:33:25.879 --> 02:33:26.879 plenty of weaponry. 3105 02:33:27.239 --> 02:33:28.319 They're not They're not going to go. 3106 02:33:28.680 --> 02:33:30.600 I saw that today. He said they're they're a pirate 3107 02:33:30.639 --> 02:33:33.040 ship army. No, oh, no, they're not. They're not right. 3108 02:33:33.360 --> 02:33:34.760 No good thing. You're here to tell the truth. 3109 02:33:34.760 --> 02:33:35.360 I got to run. 3110 02:33:35.440 --> 02:33:38.280 But these, uh, these appearances with you on Friday, I 3111 02:33:38.319 --> 02:33:39.879 gotta be honest because I bring on a lot of 3112 02:33:39.920 --> 02:33:42.159 people I love them, and a lot of them just 3113 02:33:42.280 --> 02:33:44.719 kind of tow the line.

The Berkeley 3161 02:36:14.200 --> 02:36:18.959 is gorgeous, and I know that Lewis, there was a 3162 02:36:19.040 --> 02:36:21.719 time when right down the block from that hotel is 3163 02:36:21.799 --> 02:36:24.959 a stone Pony. I know you've been there least a 3164 02:36:25.040 --> 02:36:26.360 couple of times.

Of course, I know o'rodley took 3170 02:36:39.040 --> 02:36:40.799 him to task. Last night. It was great. I got 3171 02:36:40.920 --> 02:36:42.680 a break because I got to get to the lotless patriot, 3172 02:36:42.719 --> 02:36:46.000 the amazing artist, the man who's gonna actually accept an 3173 02:36:46.000 --> 02:36:48.000 award on my behalf tonight. We go to talk to 3174 02:36:48.079 --> 02:36:52.280 my buddy Scott Lobato right after these messages Sid. 3175 02:36:52.239 --> 02:36:56.520 And Friends in the morning on the Red Apple podcast network. 3176 02:36:57.520 --> 02:37:02.879 So initially I was a little Lebato because he pulled 3177 02:37:02.959 --> 02:37:06.600 one of his world famous art stunts yesterday and the 3178 02:37:06.639 --> 02:37:09.639 one before yesterday I think I was at, which was 3179 02:37:09.719 --> 02:37:13.079 the unveiling of that amazing mom Donnie painting right outside 3180 02:37:13.120 --> 02:37:16.159 of City Hall Lobato and I did it together. His 3181 02:37:16.319 --> 02:37:19.520 amazing painting painting. It was hosted by Johnny Tobacco was 3182 02:37:19.520 --> 02:37:21.719 actually on Wise Guys. But then it occurred to me 3183 02:37:21.879 --> 02:37:23.520 that I was in New Jersey all day yesterday, so 3184 02:37:23.600 --> 02:37:27.280 I couldn't go him anyway. But I guess Scotty pulled 3185 02:37:27.319 --> 02:37:30.600 off another one of his amazing art stunts at Grand 3186 02:37:30.719 --> 02:37:33.879 Central Terminal, but I'm not sure it ended well as 3187 02:37:33.920 --> 02:37:38.000 it usually doesn't. Scott is an amazing artist, he really is. 3188 02:37:38.360 --> 02:37:43.559 He is very talented, relentless patriot, just a great American. 3189 02:37:44.040 --> 02:37:46.040 So you got to rest it again yesterday or no? 3190 02:37:47.680 --> 02:37:51.959 No, I uh, I dropped that option that I did have. 3191 02:37:54.319 --> 02:37:54.799 First off. 3192 02:37:55.440 --> 02:37:58.000 I you know I'm the relentless patriot, but I have 3193 02:37:58.559 --> 02:38:02.079 been haunted all morning by the relentless Johnny Tobacco to 3194 02:38:02.520 --> 02:38:06.479 try to convince you to still stop by this event tonight. 3195 02:38:06.680 --> 02:38:09.120 I know you can't, but I was told by Johnny 3196 02:38:09.360 --> 02:38:11.040 that I would be in trouble if I didn't ask you. 3197 02:38:11.760 --> 02:38:13.479 No, I know the deal. 3198 02:38:14.159 --> 02:38:15.399 Every minute he's sweet and so. 3199 02:38:15.479 --> 02:38:18.120 I know I know he's great. He keeps texting me 3200 02:38:18.280 --> 02:38:22.360 and believe me, Chrish Alenzo, who actually runs that Metropolitan 3201 02:38:22.399 --> 02:38:25.040 Club scott and she's honored me a million times in 3202 02:38:25.120 --> 02:38:27.760 the past.

So anyway, so yesterday 3233 02:39:42.719 --> 02:39:44.639 it was such a beautiful day, I figured let me 3234 02:39:44.719 --> 02:39:48.520 do another social, creative social experiment with my artwork. And 3235 02:39:48.920 --> 02:39:51.600 that portrait of Mam Dandy that you helped them there 3236 02:39:51.680 --> 02:39:53.799 at City Hall was such a big hit.

It's going to 3238 02:39:56.280 --> 02:39:57.719 be on display at the event tonight. 3239 02:39:57.920 --> 02:40:00.559 Oh wow, so take it.

If you 3244 02:40:11.639 --> 02:40:12.760 haven't been there, it's pretty awesome. 3245 02:40:12.760 --> 02:40:14.680 You know what's funny about that. I'm glad you mentioned 3246 02:40:14.760 --> 02:40:18.360 that place. So Mike Breen, the Hall of Fame announcer 3247 02:40:18.440 --> 02:40:20.600 for the Nicks and the NBA. He loves Mike Breen. 3248 02:40:21.120 --> 02:40:24.000 So he's best friends with the owner of Palladino's, mister 3249 02:40:24.040 --> 02:40:24.959 Palladino himself. 3250 02:40:25.479 --> 02:40:26.639 And we will look at Cop. 3251 02:40:26.719 --> 02:40:29.840 Actually, yes, Cop, that's exactly right. And now he spends 3252 02:40:29.920 --> 02:40:32.799 most of his time outside the state. But regardless, he h. 3253 02:40:33.239 --> 02:40:35.319 I said to mic, I said, you know, it's Valentine's Day, 3254 02:40:35.360 --> 02:40:38.079 we'll boar to the same old restaurants. Maybe I'll try 3255 02:40:38.120 --> 02:40:42.239 Palladino Steakhouse tonight. So me, Danielle and our friends Orn 3256 02:40:42.319 --> 02:40:44.520 and Paige the same force him. That's going to Sammy's 3257 02:40:44.600 --> 02:40:47.680 Romanian tonight. What the Paladinos for the first time this 3258 02:40:47.840 --> 02:40:51.479 year on Valentine's Day in Grand Central and we loved it. 3259 02:40:51.760 --> 02:40:53.200 So I'm with you. 3260 02:40:53.280 --> 02:40:56.159 It's just and it's a historical I mean you're sitting 3261 02:40:56.239 --> 02:40:58.520 there and you're looking at Grand Central Terminal. 3262 02:40:58.559 --> 02:40:59.319 It's beautiful. 3263 02:40:59.399 --> 02:41:02.079 It's yeah, I think it's New York and which is 3264 02:41:02.200 --> 02:41:03.639 where I want to get to my point. But what 3265 02:41:03.719 --> 02:41:06.319 I did yesterday you know, I got to do these things. 3266 02:41:06.360 --> 02:41:09.040 It's that I have to just you know, provoke and 3267 02:41:09.159 --> 02:41:12.239 get emotion out of people, especially what's going on. So 3268 02:41:12.559 --> 02:41:17.000 I made these twenty four by thirty six printouts of 3269 02:41:17.159 --> 02:41:20.799 that man Dandie painting the Mayor's official portrait I did, 3270 02:41:21.159 --> 02:41:24.040 and I put frames on them, lightweight, and I put 3271 02:41:24.079 --> 02:41:27.760 some double sided tape, and I went through the terminal, 3272 02:41:27.879 --> 02:41:30.479 had some friends filming it, and I started putting these 3273 02:41:30.520 --> 02:41:33.000 things up. And it's a beautiful place, Grand Central Terminal, 3274 02:41:33.200 --> 02:41:36.079 very clean. There's no graffiti, there's no signers or nothing. 3275 02:41:36.479 --> 02:41:39.200 And I put up about ten of them, and then 3276 02:41:39.280 --> 02:41:42.040 I didn't get to finish, and all of a sudden, 3277 02:41:42.079 --> 02:41:45.239 the cops surrounded me, the MTA cops, and then I realized, 3278 02:41:45.399 --> 02:41:45.959 here's my point. 3279 02:41:46.200 --> 02:41:46.959 They gave me the option. 3280 02:41:47.079 --> 02:41:48.799 They were like, look, we're you know, we want to 3281 02:41:48.879 --> 02:41:51.719 you know, we understand you what you do with Bob, 3282 02:41:51.879 --> 02:41:54.520 but it's illegal, it's called little ring whatever. If you 3283 02:41:54.680 --> 02:41:56.840 leave now, it's okay. And I was like, well, I 3284 02:41:56.959 --> 02:41:59.000 really want to put one more up, and he goes, well, 3285 02:41:59.040 --> 02:42:01.159 then we're going to have to arrest you. And I 3286 02:42:01.319 --> 02:42:03.719 was like, now I'm gonna save this one and these 3287 02:42:03.760 --> 02:42:04.319 guys were. 3288 02:42:04.319 --> 02:42:05.399 So good to me. 3289 02:42:05.920 --> 02:42:08.360 And I never dealt with the MTA cops before, and 3290 02:42:08.479 --> 02:42:10.000 I've dealt with cops, as you know, I've been the 3291 02:42:10.040 --> 02:42:10.959 rested a million times. 3292 02:42:11.719 --> 02:42:13.000 But it was the system. 3293 02:42:13.120 --> 02:42:14.799 Here's the point I want to make. I got my 3294 02:42:14.879 --> 02:42:19.000 point across. People loved that. People hated it, but how 3295 02:42:19.120 --> 02:42:21.520 they ran. It's always so safe in that I never 3296 02:42:21.639 --> 02:42:26.920 realized how safe it is. There's no assholes running around screaming, protesting, 3297 02:42:27.079 --> 02:42:29.719 robbing people that I see anytime i'm there. 3298 02:42:29.799 --> 02:42:31.319 It's always a smooth transition. 3299 02:42:31.680 --> 02:42:33.920 And I realized when I walked in and I put 3300 02:42:34.000 --> 02:42:35.959 up my first sign, you know, I'm discreet. I look 3301 02:42:36.000 --> 02:42:39.559 around the painting and I saw this one guy that 3302 02:42:39.959 --> 02:42:41.840 was just like a regular businessman on his way to 3303 02:42:42.159 --> 02:42:45.399 meet somebody for business. And at the end of my situation, 3304 02:42:45.559 --> 02:42:47.959 as I'm being escorted out, I saw him again on 3305 02:42:48.040 --> 02:42:50.120 the other side of the terminal and he winked at 3306 02:42:50.159 --> 02:42:54.280 the cops and I said, uhha, very well played. And 3307 02:42:54.399 --> 02:42:57.639 then outside he walked by again just to see what 3308 02:42:57.799 --> 02:42:59.799 I was up to, and I just said. 3309 02:43:00.079 --> 02:43:01.280 Look, I just said, well played. 3310 02:43:01.719 --> 02:43:02.719 I'm not going to give it away. 3311 02:43:02.799 --> 02:43:03.399 What do you looked like? 3312 02:43:03.479 --> 02:43:08.360 But the point is it is a well oiled machine, 3313 02:43:08.520 --> 02:43:11.200 and I think a lot more public places should be 3314 02:43:11.639 --> 02:43:14.920 like that. How they run these undercover guys keeping an 3315 02:43:14.920 --> 02:43:17.399 eye on things was like a spy movie. So it 3316 02:43:17.520 --> 02:43:20.280 was beautiful. Kudos to them for letting me kind of 3317 02:43:20.280 --> 02:43:22.319 get away what I did. But you know, not really 3318 02:43:22.520 --> 02:43:24.600 but it was well played. 3319 02:43:24.719 --> 02:43:26.479 It sounded like it was well played and sound like 3320 02:43:26.559 --> 02:43:27.760 it was great. I know, you want to touch to 3321 02:43:27.920 --> 02:43:31.760 one this animal that stopped this girl because you wouldn't 3322 02:43:31.760 --> 02:43:33.239 give a phone. 3323 02:43:33.079 --> 02:43:34.680 Number to him. I know the story. 3324 02:43:34.799 --> 02:43:38.399 It's it's brutal, it's it's it's horrible, man. I mean, 3325 02:43:38.479 --> 02:43:41.040 how look, we were all boys. We all get into fights. 3326 02:43:41.319 --> 02:43:44.120 We all see boys fighting. It's part of you know, that's. 3327 02:43:44.000 --> 02:43:44.600 Part of what we do. 3328 02:43:44.799 --> 02:43:46.799 You know, you get no fight protecting a girl whatever. 3329 02:43:47.079 --> 02:43:51.920 But to see this boy like you watch the video, 3330 02:43:52.159 --> 02:43:54.920 it is the most it just got and it's very 3331 02:43:55.280 --> 02:43:58.840 hard to get me squeamish. It really is very thick 3332 02:43:58.879 --> 02:44:00.920 skinned of a New Yorker, you know, just like you. 3333 02:44:01.200 --> 02:44:04.719 But to see him slam her like a wrestler onto 3334 02:44:04.799 --> 02:44:10.000 the concrete and then to stomp on her face like 3335 02:44:10.120 --> 02:44:12.760 a scene from Goodfellas when DeNiro stomps on it. 3336 02:44:12.879 --> 02:44:13.639 You know he does that. 3337 02:44:14.360 --> 02:44:18.719 It was just heartbreaking Billy batt And wasn't it Billy 3338 02:44:18.760 --> 02:44:20.360 Batsy stopped on his face in the barn? 3339 02:44:20.559 --> 02:44:24.159 Yes, yes, yes, and well anything that when he was 3340 02:44:24.200 --> 02:44:24.639 a good. 3341 02:44:24.840 --> 02:44:27.920 When wasn't a k That was Frank Vincent, who was 3342 02:44:27.959 --> 02:44:29.879 a great active he's on the site. He actually played 3343 02:44:29.920 --> 02:44:32.399 phill Ya Tarto on The Sopranos and his head got 3344 02:44:32.479 --> 02:44:35.239 ran over in the gas station. But he was with 3345 02:44:35.319 --> 02:44:37.920 the New York crime Family. That's right, guy, So you're right. 3346 02:44:37.959 --> 02:44:39.559 So he was stopping on her face. 3347 02:44:40.799 --> 02:44:43.079 And then he just like he has this smirk like 3348 02:44:43.239 --> 02:44:46.639 he was proud of what he did. And why aren't 3349 02:44:47.319 --> 02:44:50.440 you know, why are we still continuing with this victim 3350 02:44:50.520 --> 02:44:53.520 of society. Oh he's a young kid, he's fourteen years old. 3351 02:44:53.639 --> 02:44:56.760 His name can't be printed. But I'm really I really 3352 02:44:56.840 --> 02:44:58.799 want to reach out. I don't know how far my 3353 02:44:58.959 --> 02:45:02.079 voice goes on your s know, somebody from that little 3354 02:45:02.120 --> 02:45:07.399 girl's family needs to find this efin animal and correct him, 3355 02:45:08.200 --> 02:45:11.959 correct him. This is why society is breaking down, because 3356 02:45:12.040 --> 02:45:14.680 we become some numb to this. We don't talk about 3357 02:45:14.760 --> 02:45:16.959 that girl that got set on fire on the subway. 3358 02:45:17.479 --> 02:45:19.680 You know, Ah, that just happened, this New York find 3359 02:45:19.719 --> 02:45:24.440 illegal alien. You know, it's funny. They tried to hang 3360 02:45:24.879 --> 02:45:28.000 literally hang him, put him in jail for life, Donald 3361 02:45:28.040 --> 02:45:33.120 Trump because he said he said grabbed them by the. 3362 02:45:33.159 --> 02:45:34.479 P He said that. 3363 02:45:34.719 --> 02:45:36.280 But you sort of story the other day. 3364 02:45:36.319 --> 02:45:37.319 I think you talked about it. 3365 02:45:37.840 --> 02:45:42.159 This illegal alien who grabbed and groped a bunch of 3366 02:45:42.200 --> 02:45:44.200 these young high school girls and grabbed them. 3367 02:45:44.120 --> 02:45:45.000 By the p yep. 3368 02:45:45.159 --> 02:45:48.559 And he's a victim of society. He's protected because of 3369 02:45:48.639 --> 02:45:51.879 the sanctuary state city and he I think he's getting 3370 02:45:51.879 --> 02:45:54.799 like one hundred days in jail. This is where is 3371 02:45:54.840 --> 02:45:58.600 the proper punishment for the crimes? Where has this? 3372 02:45:59.239 --> 02:46:02.120 How did this go off track? That? This is where 3373 02:46:02.280 --> 02:46:03.079 society aspired. 3374 02:46:03.319 --> 02:46:07.879 Whether it's Luigi Mangion, you know, well, he's maybe right 3375 02:46:07.959 --> 02:46:11.360 for what he did. How how will we count? I 3376 02:46:11.479 --> 02:46:13.079 can't can you figure it out? 3377 02:46:13.239 --> 02:46:16.479 Oh no, he murdered an innocent father of two, and 3378 02:46:16.559 --> 02:46:19.399 you're right. People love him.
