Speaker 1: I'm around. This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini.
Speaker 2: Cast, my great buddy John Katsmatitis. John Good Monday morning.
Speaker 2: Let me start with this most importantly, how is Margot.
Speaker 1: Margot is getting better. She had an incident yesterday where
Speaker 1: she threw up some blood and we rushed into the hospital.
Speaker 1: But she's okay. She had a bleeding ulsa also and
Speaker 1: they sealed it and and she hopefully she'll be up
Speaker 1: by this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Well, there were any other signs before she started throwing
Speaker 2: up blood. She felt badly for a couple of days
Speaker 2: or really nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothing really, I mean they did an endoscopy endoscopy yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they found some old blood. But everything the good
Speaker 1: users her stoppage, this was clear. The rest of his
Speaker 1: stomach is clear. They sealed up the place where there
Speaker 1: was that that tumor not tooman also right and and
Speaker 1: everything else is good. So she doesn't have to do
Speaker 1: another And this could be for another five years.
Speaker 2: That is good. I know, let's try it. It's every
Speaker 2: five to ten years. We'll give her all love and
Speaker 2: tell her. Let everybody here on sitting friends in the
Speaker 2: morning and all over New York love so and we
Speaker 2: hope that she's gonna be okay. Obviously we love Margo.
Speaker 2: You know the question I got to answer the most
Speaker 2: on Friday night when I went to see Steve Whitcombe
Speaker 2: and what with Bruce Blakeman so we can speak at
Speaker 2: the home of Bob and Loreyna Dave Roberts in Southampton.
Speaker 2: The question I got answered the most by Barr was, now, now,
Speaker 2: how was Trump this afternoon? How was the shot out
Speaker 2: with Blakeman? No, it was is John Tatum Titi's coming
Speaker 2: Friday night.
Speaker 1: I swear to you, well, you know I don't leave
Speaker 1: the studio just six fifteen, right, and if this then
Speaker 1: you had an escort to the Hampton. I did so.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to the Hittils from nine o'clock and
Speaker 1: the you know, everything's over by nine o'clock on Friday night.
Speaker 2: It really was. It was over, I think about eight thirty.
Speaker 2: But it's a great showing. Bo Ditles showed up, Susanne
Speaker 2: Miller was there too, and they did a great job.
Speaker 2: Listen all day between President and Trump in Nassau County,
Speaker 2: York County, doing a reactionally on something, but doing a
Speaker 2: great job with Bruce Blakeman all the Long Island leaders,
Speaker 2: John all the police that was so special, and some
Speaker 2: of these victims, and when I have a lady on
Speaker 2: Weddy after you mcdalia Martinez, whose twelve year old son
Speaker 2: was murdered in the Bronx just three weeks ago. It
Speaker 2: was just an emotional, great afternoon. And then the again
Speaker 2: the fundraiser that night with witcomp and Bruce. It seems
Speaker 2: to me, John Canton matitieuz I got friend Bruce Blakeman
Speaker 2: has a lot of momentum.
Speaker 1: I think he he has a good chance and he
Speaker 1: has a lot of momentum. You know, Lee Sheldon came
Speaker 1: within a few points. And the big mistake with Lee
Speaker 1: it turns out to be young. But it can't be
Speaker 1: a Monday Morning quarterback. Is the abortion issue. Even Republican
Speaker 1: women have a big problem with the abortion issue. They
Speaker 1: they feel that women are should be free to do
Speaker 1: whatever they want with their bodies. And when I ran
Speaker 1: from mayor in twenty thirteen, I said, it's up to
Speaker 1: the woman, it's up to her doctor and up to
Speaker 1: her family, and that's it. I mean, you can't force her.
Speaker 1: You can't force women to do not with something they
Speaker 1: don't want to do.
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. It's funny because they categorize me and
Speaker 2: describe me and every article, and they what about me
Speaker 2: every day? You know that's true, John, every day as
Speaker 2: this staunch conservative. In the meantime, I'm like you, I'm
Speaker 2: pro choice. How could I be a staunch yes when
Speaker 2: it comes to money, when it comes to war, you bet.
Speaker 2: I'm a stornch conservative, but I'm pro choice on four
Speaker 2: gay marriage. How does that make me or you staunch conservatives?
Speaker 1: We're New York conservatives, right, we are pro people. We
Speaker 1: listened when Iran as a liberal, a Republican liberal in
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen and I was in Staten Island. People say,
Speaker 1: how are you a liberal? I say, you know how,
Speaker 1: I'm a liberal. I take care of the poor kids
Speaker 1: of the inner city because now I'm chairman of Powell.
Speaker 1: At that time I was only I don't know what,
Speaker 1: I was vice chairman of a board member. And we
Speaker 1: take care of the kids of the inner city because
Speaker 1: we have a heart. We want to have the people
Speaker 1: that are sick in hospitals, not in the subways in
Speaker 1: New York. So I'm more liberal than some of the
Speaker 1: people in Aubany because that we used to have twenty
Speaker 1: eight thousand people in Bellevue type institutions and guess what
Speaker 1: not as five thousand and eight thousand and seven thousand.
Speaker 1: You know where the rest of them are in the
Speaker 1: subways and the streets in New York. And those people
Speaker 1: deserve to be cared for, opened up. You know, take
Speaker 1: Rikers Island for a biggion dollars instead of spending fourteen
Speaker 1: big million dollars a new jails. For a billion dollars,
Speaker 1: you can make Riker's Island a beautiful place for for
Speaker 1: for a Bellevue type institution where people need help. They
Speaker 1: need to logs every day, not to be in the
Speaker 1: streets of New York, not to be in in the
Speaker 1: uh uh subways. Uh, you need to take take the
Speaker 1: vets off streets, give him a home, take the take
Speaker 1: the Bellevue type people and need institution, put them there
Speaker 1: and and improve the facility of Riker's Island. Uh. Instead
Speaker 1: of building jails in the neighborhood near you, I mean,
Speaker 1: who wants it to jail in in Manhattan or in
Speaker 1: Queens or or in Brooklyn or or even the Bronx
Speaker 1: and Staten Island definitely doesn't want it. I mean, we
Speaker 1: got to do the right thing for the people in
Speaker 1: New York. And I think that's what it is. And
Speaker 1: I think, look, uh, Kathy Hoko, I know her very well.
Speaker 1: She's a very nice lady. But I think that she
Speaker 1: is being pushed by the mayor of the City of
Speaker 1: New York, which is going in the wrong direction. And
Speaker 1: I said that to him, But.
Speaker 2: You can't do that. You're the governor. You've got more
Speaker 2: power than the mayor. And you're right, Mayor, Mom, Donnie
Speaker 2: runs the city, runs the state right now. Is becoming
Speaker 2: the base of the Democrat Party, which is another issue
Speaker 2: for them as we get ready for the midterms. But
Speaker 2: that shouldn't be the case. And a strong leader would
Speaker 2: never let that happen.
Speaker 1: But she's not.
Speaker 2: She's not strong, she's weak. She may be nice.
Speaker 1: I don't know her.
Speaker 2: I don't want to know.
Speaker 1: Look, Lee's Elden Caterberry close. I think Bruce Blakebrin if
Speaker 1: if he promises quality of life, if you promise him,
Speaker 1: you know, Nasau County is the safest county in the
Speaker 1: United States. At twenty five hundred and thirty eight counties
Speaker 1: in the United States, Nassau County is the safest. So
Speaker 1: I mean he believes in law enforcement. Nasau County is safe.
Speaker 1: Suffocate out to you is safe. You know that's fine.
Speaker 1: A lot of people come to NASA and Supper County.
Speaker 1: And I had my guy who's one of my advertisers, Spiro,
Speaker 1: the moving guy from Florida, on the Sunday Show, and
Speaker 1: he says more people are starting to move down from
Speaker 1: New York. And don't forget JP Morgan has opened up
Speaker 1: the bigger facility in Texas than in New York, Frank America,
Speaker 1: bigger facility in Texas than in New York. So we're
Speaker 1: going to slowly bleed to death. And New York City,
Speaker 1: New York State. All the politicians. I love New York.
Speaker 1: I want to save New York. All the politicians should
Speaker 1: realize that we're in trouble if it keeps going like that.
Speaker 1: No question.
Speaker 2: Last one, I was honor John because you know I
Speaker 2: was in the Hamptons on Friday night. If I want
Speaker 2: to stay there, I was going to take you off
Speaker 2: on your amazing offer. And I mean that to speak
Speaker 2: at your Saturday morning breakfast, which I'd love to do,
Speaker 2: it would be a huge hore for me. You John,
Speaker 2: But we did go back on Friday night. Blakeman provide
Speaker 2: the detail and they drove us back. But those Saturday
Speaker 2: morning breakfast I know they do great. You got big
Speaker 2: time people there who was there today so.
Speaker 1: You could come and Greg Kelly went to Florida. Uh
Speaker 1: and uh uh jessicataciously be there in a different week.
Speaker 1: Uh and uh. I had to wake up Michael Cohen.
Speaker 1: I woke him up. He was at a friend's house
Speaker 1: in uh in the Hampton's. I woke him up. He
Speaker 1: came over and he did pretty good and he got
Speaker 1: everything off his chest and uh, the people loved him
Speaker 1: and uh and I said, he's one of the new
Speaker 1: hosts and he's probably gonna have a Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: show and uh uh and uh uh you know one
Speaker 1: smart guy and he got everything off his chest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they threatened him, said the powers that be in New
Speaker 1: York threatened him him that they're going to put his
Speaker 1: wife in jail unless unless he pleads guilty to anything,
Speaker 1: to something and goes to jail. And the man was
Speaker 1: not guilty. You know, hey, every day they can get
Speaker 1: us for jaywalking if they wants to. But you know,
Speaker 1: he did a fine job and you know, life moves on,
Speaker 1: and look hopefully you said the sun is gonna shine.
Speaker 1: I hope I can get morgo out of the hospital
Speaker 1: and be there today later on.
Speaker 2: I hope you can too. And some of you want
Speaker 2: Margo out of the hospital.
Speaker 1: We love how we love you too.
Speaker 2: When the sun is gonna shine and she's gonna be okay,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be here later on this afternoon, and
Speaker 2: all is going to be great. Another great appearance by
Speaker 2: you this morning, John, on the difficult situation, but we
Speaker 2: love you both, and best of luck, and we will
