1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the five o'clock show. It's time for common sense.

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Now it's Kats and Gosby with John Catsimatids and Rita

3
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Gosby standing for truth, justice and the American Way bringing

4
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>common sense to the world. Now here's John Katsimatids and

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Ria Gosby.

6
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, it is a big countdown and that is because

7
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 2>poles are going to be closing in a matter of

8
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>hours in Michigan and Missouri. And the biggie in Michigan,

9
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Judge Weinberg, that guy in Michigan crazy. He is like

10
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the most extreme radical candidates. I think that

11
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats have this season.

12
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 3>Radical socialist islamis for him. And you supported the people

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 3>who think that nine to eleven was well deserved. I

14
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 3>mean really, and I'll tell you what's really troubling today.

15
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 4>What twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven? This this

16
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 4>garage jumping around saying that that we deserve nine to eleven.

17
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, is this the most ridiculous thing in the world.

18
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's hanging around Hassan Piker, who is and and

19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>he has been advocating for Hamas. He's been saying Israel's evil.

20
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>He's saying, defund the police.

21
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Open borders.

22
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a radical. This is a very radical extremist.

23
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>And he's been pelling around with the dearborn mayor. And

24
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>that dearborn mayor is the guy who like told people

25
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>of Catholic faith and Christian faith that you're not welcome.

26
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 4>What are the numbers here? What are the numbers here?

27
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Number trouble, he's troublem. But I'll tell you two things. Well,

28
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 4>we're going to know the numbers tonight.

29
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, the numbers right now, he's ahead by

30
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Eight's all crack right.

31
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 4>I agree, it's all crap. Good I help. Your numbers

32
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 4>are tonight.

33
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And obviously, you guys, the key issue is this is

34
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>a democratic primary.

35
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 3>Well, what is she going to do if she loses?

36
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Is she gonna endorse them? Well, by the way, she's

37
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna do the right thing, Jo and sand for this country.

38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>You just hit the exact right point, because she's already

39
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>come out even though they're obviously trading barbs. They're in

40
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>the primary. Haley Stevens, who's quote considered the more moderate

41
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>against abdulah l say ed, I think anybody's more moderate

42
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 2>compared to him. Both of them have already said they're

43
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 2>going to endorse the other, that they will support whoever

44
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 2>wins against Mike Rogers. She's a great candidate.

45
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 3>So she's supporting the takeover of the Democratic Party by

46
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 3>the Socialists and the Islamist How wonderful of that.

47
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because she is already saying whatever it is, she's

48
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 2>going to support that individual that already sends.

49
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 4>A very interous message party over country.

50
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a scary thing. And this guy in particular is

51
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>very troubling. I mean when you see his background. To me,

52
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the people he's hanging around with, every single squad member

53
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>has been supporting this guy. And you look at the rhetoric.

54
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a very visceral. It's we're gonna scream. He's screaming

55
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>about fascism. His his views on Israel, everything is anti Israel.

56
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>He is downright anti Semitic, dangerous. I agree, very trouble.

57
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 3>But to your point, Bank Goards, Mike Rogers is going

58
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 3>to be the Republican candidate. Former chairman of Hause Intelligence Committee,

59
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 3>former FBI agent, a buriant guy, a real patriarch, and

60
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 3>somebody could be a great senator.

61
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Now you know, someday we're gonna have to have a

62
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 4>real discussion that all these people have want to become

63
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 4>American citizens, of all these people that don't really love

64
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 4>America to become an American citizen. I remember I was

65
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 4>six years old. I remember when I took my American citizenship. Example,

66
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 4>you have to pledge allegiance to the year flag and

67
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 4>to America. Are these people still are going to do it?

68
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 4>Are they falsely.

69
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 5>Doing Even if they do it, John, I won't believe it.

70
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 5>They're going to just do it for the sake of getting.

71
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 4>But not want. But yeah, they have to pledge allegiance. Yes,

72
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 4>So if they get the American citizenship papers, the next

73
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 4>day they're burning the flag, you can take back the

74
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 4>American citizenship.

75
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 2>What do you think? It's an interesting point because how

76
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>are they pledging allegiance to this country if they're supporting Hamas,

77
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>which is a terrorist group fighting against America. And how

78
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 2>about the woman in New York, you guys who was

79
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>washing her hands with the American flag?

80
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>What about a probation period?

81
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 5>What about some kind of a probation period when they

82
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 5>become American citizens.

83
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Well some of them do it at birth and then

84
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>when they're twenty they start spewing this hate Judge Weinberg.

85
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Which is exactly why you shouldn't have birthright citizenship because

86
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 3>they have no test of loyalty in this country.

87
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Oz is on, we don't want you to bring

88
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 4>them in.

89
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. We have the great doctor Oz, who is the

90
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>administrator for US centers from Medicare and Medicaid services. And

91
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>doctor Oz, you had some big announcements today, massive amounts

92
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>of fraud, including in New York, but elsewhere. Tell us

93
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>about it.

94
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Well.

95
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 6>Today we had a big press event based on a

96
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 6>series of arrests indictments that took place over the last

97
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 6>few days in Philadelphia. John has a nexus with Pennsylvania.

98
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 6>It's my home state, my home city. So it's particularly

99
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 6>painful to have to acknowledge that we've got a major problem.

100
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 6>And we focused on a couple big areas. One of

101
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 6>them is personal care services. These are again when you

102
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 6>know you're having your kids getting paid to do things

103
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 6>for you that historically your family would just do for you.

104
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 6>And that job, being a personal care service, which most

105
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 6>people never heard of, is the number one job in

106
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 6>New York, it's a number one job in California, and

107
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 6>it turns out it's a number one job in Pennsylvania,

108
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 6>and these are shockingly big numbers. Two hundred thousand people

109
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 6>in Pennsylvania have half a million in New York. In

110
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 6>your's the closest competitor, which are retail sales, you have

111
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 6>twice as many people doing this personal care service stuff.

112
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 6>So the fraud in Pennsylvania has gotten so bad again.

113
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 6>This is fraud for the taxpayers paying for services never rendered.

114
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 6>That We held the press conference across from the federal jail,

115
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 6>the place where you would get held, and there were

116
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 6>people in that jail who were billing or getting billed

117
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 6>for personal care services, literally in jail. They In one case,

118
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 6>a man and his wife had conspired. The wife was

119
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 6>pretending to take care of the husband, charging the state

120
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 6>a lot of money, and he was in jail the

121
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 6>whole time. There was another guy, These are true stories.

122
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 6>You can't make this stuff up. He was getting arrested

123
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 6>for a drug defense. While the cops were about to handcuff,

124
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 6>he said, I just check out of my job at

125
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 6>home health care. And he said, what are you talking about?

126
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 6>He says, I'm a home care agent. I'm one of

127
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 6>these people. I'm getting paid right now while i'm selling drugs.

128
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 6>So in fact, a lot of people doing it. And

129
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 6>they said, well, but I mean we're going.

130
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 7>To arrest you for that too. He said, were you

131
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 7>going to arrest the entire city of Philadelphia? We're all

132
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 7>doing it. Another criminals said, were the best kept secret

133
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 7>they ever heard of. Everyone's making a fortune on this stuff.

134
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 7>But the problem is you can't get service and you

135
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 7>need it, especially folks who are suffering, who are vulnerable

136
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 7>that's waiting in line to get services. They can't because

137
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 7>Froster is taking all the money. So you know, in

138
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 7>Pennsylvania very concretely ranks worst five nationally and how much

139
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 7>money we're spending, both the number of people but also

140
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 7>number of money made by the providers. Most of the

141
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 7>folks here in Pennsylvania are pissed off, upset about this terribly,

142
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.120
<v Speaker 7>and so we have been taking aggressive stance this year.

143
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 7>By the way, I was in Maine yesterday, massive problem

144
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.319
<v Speaker 7>there as well, also around in that case autism, folks

145
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 7>getting home care, but when they have the developmental disabilities.

146
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 7>And in Maine, interestingly, most of the people doing this seem

147
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.959
<v Speaker 7>to be from Central Africa. They're from Rwanda and a

148
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 7>Democratic Republic of Congo, and they were brought to the

149
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 7>state by nonprofit organizations which made money by doing it.

150
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 7>Planted these people who are not running these big businesses

151
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 7>abusing the folks that are in those places.

152
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Wow. So it's sort of like a like a cycle.

153
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like they've got like a whole sort of operation, right,

154
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>doctor oz Well.

155
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 6>The accusations go deeper. They involve again I'm not I

156
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 6>don't have personal evidence of this, but sending money back

157
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 6>to militia in uh Rwanda in Central Africa.

158
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

159
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 6>In this uh you know situation in Pennsylvania, the money

160
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 6>is obviously part of a larger organized criminal effort. I

161
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.120
<v Speaker 6>was at the site of a bus where the investigators

162
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 6>went in to collect boxes after boxes of information that

163
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 6>links these different groups together. Because it's not just who's

164
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.840
<v Speaker 6>actually you know, charging the money. These a criminal syndicate,

165
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 6>a multinational often criminal syndicate that controls this web, intricate

166
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 6>web of criminal groups. So the same folks in Philadelphia

167
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 6>who are selling drugs are also selling services, and they

168
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 6>like building medicaid more. It's safer you don't go to jail.

169
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 6>If you do go to jail, you know, you'll steal

170
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 6>a couple of million bucks go to jail for eighteen months.

171
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 6>You don't go to a jail for drug trafficking or

172
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 6>a bank robbery. It's a lot to heftier penalty. So

173
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 6>we have taught criminals to take advantage of our healthcare system.

174
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 6>And the part that's frustrating is it wasn't like this.

175
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.200
<v Speaker 6>These programs were built in a high trust society. America

176
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 6>over the last five years has become a low trust

177
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 6>society ten point dropped by the way and how much

178
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 6>we trust our neighbors from fifty five to forty five

179
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 6>and what that does. It's really important, but most people

180
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 6>don't trust their neighbors. All of a sudden, everyone thinks

181
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 6>they got to get away with it. They know that

182
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 6>everyone's lying to them, so they want the air a little

183
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 6>piece of the of the action. And they're not just

184
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 6>stealing your money, they're stilling your health. They're stealing your trust.

185
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.240
<v Speaker 6>And that's what's becoming evident as we look at the

186
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 6>evidence in Philadelphia in particular, where everyone seems to be

187
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 6>involved and if you're not taking your piece of the action,

188
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:57.279
<v Speaker 6>you're full.

189
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 4>It is. It is mind boggling how far done we

190
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.320
<v Speaker 4>went on this. I mean this started. This wasn't like that.

191
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 4>This wasn't like that the last ten to fifteen years.

192
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 4>It just happened in the last ten to fifteen years.

193
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Speaker 6>Talk to us COVID, John Covid. It all started with

194
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 6>COVID because COVID taught the world that America, especially the

195
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.200
<v Speaker 6>federal government where I'm serving, would throw money at problems

196
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 6>and we would did not have the guts to get

197
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 6>the money back or to stop it from going out

198
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 6>when criminal elements were involved. We wanted to be nice

199
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 6>people in Minnesota where I've been, I feel like Johnny

200
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 6>Cash by the way I've been everywhere man Minnesota. The

201
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.120
<v Speaker 6>worst thing, the worst thing you can say to someone

202
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 6>in Minnesota ready, racist, can't use that Maine, why do

203
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 6>they have this problem? Made again the essentral Africans. They

204
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 6>don't actually look like they are understanding even the culture there,

205
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.559
<v Speaker 6>but they were accepted because again, you could not use

206
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 6>the word racist. This has nothing to do with your

207
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 6>skins in color, or your ethnic background or your gender.

208
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 6>If you are stealing from poor people, you are not

209
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 6>on our team and we need to stop it. And

210
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.200
<v Speaker 6>the only way to do that is to be difficult,

211
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 6>like I being right now and why could the President

212
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 6>do passionately about this? And the Vice President was appointed

213
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 6>to be the head of the Task Force for the

214
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 6>White House against Fraud because we knew we needed an

215
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 6>all of government of efforts. So today in Pennsylvania doing

216
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 6>this press event right right opposite from the federal prison

217
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 6>was Colin MacDonald, who is the US Attorney in charge

218
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 6>of these issues. We had the US Attorney for eastern

219
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 6>part of Pennsylvania there as well. Day we had Day Sunday,

220
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 6>who was the Attorney General in Pennsylvania. We had law enforcement

221
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 6>at many different levels participating to ensure that justice is

222
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 6>being done. And we need to send this message loudly

223
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 6>to the criminals that if you try to steal money

224
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 6>from the federal government or at this point even state

225
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 6>governments because we have to reimburse the states for Medicaid,

226
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 6>we will come out after you, which means do not

227
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 6>walk away from my voice, run because we are coming.

228
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 7>Wow.

229
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 4>Let me tell you the problem we have in New

230
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 4>York State and the problem you have in Philadelphia. You

231
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 4>have a DA's that don't want to arrest anybody, and

232
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 4>the job has to be done by the US attorneys

233
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.480
<v Speaker 4>to maintain laws.

234
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 6>It's an excellent point. And then we have to ask ourselves,

235
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.080
<v Speaker 6>why is it we have so much corruption in our

236
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 6>governments that they don't want to enforce the law. And

237
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 6>you just said it beautifully because it's oftentimes politically motivated.

238
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 6>Why do we have so many people doing these personal

239
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 6>care service jobs? John, it's a jobs program. We are

240
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 6>literally employing otherwise unemployed people on the federal goal because

241
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 6>when you pay them medicaid salaries, the states get the

242
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 6>money back from the federal government, most of it. And

243
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 6>so for that reason, we're basically giving a jobs program

244
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 6>to people to medicate people, by the way, whose other

245
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 6>job happens to be drug dealer or some other oftentimes

246
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 6>illicit endeavor. And then here's the best part. We're learning

247
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.679
<v Speaker 6>more and more in California and New York. I don't

248
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 6>know about it yet in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but these

249
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 6>folks are getting unionized. When they get unionized, they have

250
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 6>to pay union dues even if they don't want to.

251
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 6>We're pursuing that as well. And I just had a

252
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 6>harsh letter of the states saying you may not do this.

253
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 6>You may not take federal dollars and put union dues

254
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 6>with those dollars to work, because what does the union

255
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 6>do with the union dues? They stay fund candidates who

256
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 6>support their views. That's political patronage. That's wrong.

257
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Absolutely well, doctor Oz. We love having you. It's

258
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>so always mind blowing the amount of fraud that you

259
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 2>guys are uncovering.

260
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 4>And I am so glad that the President Trump puts

261
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.159
<v Speaker 4>you in that position and put so many other good

262
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 4>people in positions where we're going to bring America back

263
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 4>to being honestly, you know, honesty and integrity.

264
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 6>Well, God bless you for giving me a place to

265
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.720
<v Speaker 6>talk about it a little bit. Lots more coming, making

266
00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 6>more trips back to New York. By the way, Nick

267
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 6>Shirley and I wire of theirs, you know in Queen's

268
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 6>with the social adult daycare centers where New York leads

269
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 6>the league. But I'll tell you Pennsylvania, where I'm from,

270
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 6>we are number one in the country in getting charged

271
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 6>for dead people. Believe it or not. Wow, number one

272
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 6>in the country for paying money for dead people to

273
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 6>get care. It's shocking that if it happens once much.

274
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 4>You know who I hold responsible to the governors of

275
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 4>the states. The governors of the states have have the

276
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, the ability to go after local DA's to

277
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 4>make sure they do the.

278
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Understated attorneys gener'll have to do their tribes too. Yeah,

279
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's horrible.

280
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, Dr Os, thank you so much for coming on

281
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 4>and thank you for everything you do and to help

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 4>all America. And God bless you, and we'll catch up

283

287
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>test of the Democratic Party because well a very extreme

288
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.480
<v Speaker 2>democratic socialist win and maybe more than one race. Well,

289
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about what's happening in the Democratic Party is former

290
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Democratic strategist still current political activists obviously.

291

293
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Melissa du Rosa, Melissa, what do you think is going

294
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 2>to happen?

295
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 9>Well, great to be with you guys. You know, look,

296
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 9>if the polls are right, and we've all experienced a

297
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.080
<v Speaker 9>you know, different polling that we know is completely wrong.

298
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 9>But if the polls are right, it looks like Elsa

299
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 9>Ed is going to walk away with this thing to

300
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 9>the tune of somewhere, you know, between eight ten fifteen points,

301
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 9>and this will be a if that's what happens. I

302
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 9>think that the person who will be celebrating tonight is

303
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 9>Mike Rogers and the Republican Party in the state of Michigan,

304
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.159
<v Speaker 9>because it puts him in a much much better position

305
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 9>to take that seat and flip it from.

306
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 7>Blue to red.

307
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what's amazing. And we were talking earlier in

308
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 2>the show here Melissa that both el Sied and Haley Stevens,

309
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>who claims she's a quote mid have said that they're

310
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>going to endorse the other. So they are completely cathing.

311
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.840
<v Speaker 2>And this comes at the same time that there's are

312
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 2>reports that Kamala Harris, first of all, who is definitely

313
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>moving left. You can hear her rhetoric. She's talking about

314
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.399
<v Speaker 2>packing the Supreme Court, statehood, She's talking about a whole

315
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>bunch of stuff, and so if you look at all

316
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>of those things. She's also reaching out to Mundani. There's

317
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>been reports that they've had so she's trying to get

318
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>this DSA stamp on her the blessing of the DSA.

319
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>What does that say? I mean they seem like to

320
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>be surrendering, folding like cheap suits.

321
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 9>No, you know, look It's the famous old saying, tell

322
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:38.799
<v Speaker 9>me where my people are going. I must know so

323
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 9>I can lead them. And that is Kamala Harrison and nutshell.

324
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 9>She is not a person of conviction. She's got no core.

325
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 9>All she cares about is power and being in office

326
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.720
<v Speaker 9>for the sake of being in office. And so we

327
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 9>saw during the twenty twenty four campaign, when she had

328
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 9>two billion dollars behind her, that she basically lit on fire.

329
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.480
<v Speaker 9>We saw as she had every celebrity, all the mainstream media,

330
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 9>every Democrat fell in line, and she lost every single

331
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.319
<v Speaker 9>swing state. And at the end of the day, people

332
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.559
<v Speaker 9>are very good at sniffing out people who are not

333
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 9>authentic and people who are just saying whatever it takes

334
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.880
<v Speaker 9>to get elected. And in that race, she flip flopped

335
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 9>on fracking, she flipedopped on Medicare for All, she flip

336
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 9>flopped on the border, She full flopped on gun control.

337
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 9>She had been a staunch advocate for gun control. Suddenly

338
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 9>everywhere she's going she's telling people she owns a gun.

339
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.759
<v Speaker 9>And so you know, look, people, people can smell a phony,

340
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 9>and that's what happened, and you're seeing it again. You're

341
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 9>seeing a woman who at one point was in law enforcement.

342
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.039
<v Speaker 9>She worked in the DA's office. She was the Attorney

343
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.160
<v Speaker 9>General of California. She used to tap the fact that

344
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.799
<v Speaker 9>she was tough on crime. And you're seeing her cozying

345
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 9>up to the DSA. She is she is taking meetings

346
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 9>with the pro Palestinian groups, the anti Israel groups, who

347
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 9>I would argue are even you know, borderline pro Hamas groups,

348
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 9>And she is already you know, taking all of the

349
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 9>position of these wackoed DSA people who are trying to

350
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.119
<v Speaker 9>drag the party off a cliff to the left. And

351
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 9>so she's tilting it wind mills once again. But more dangerously,

352
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.079
<v Speaker 9>it's it's the direction you're seeing a lot of them

353
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.240
<v Speaker 9>go in. They believe that that's where the grassroots energy is.

354
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.920
<v Speaker 9>They believe that in a presidential you're going to need

355
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 9>to appease the activist, looney wing of the party, and

356
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.799
<v Speaker 9>then in doing so, they're going to make it impossible

357
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 9>to win the general election, and they are going to

358
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 9>redefine the Democratic Party as we all have known it

359
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 9>for our entire lives. So it's a very very dangerous

360
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.839
<v Speaker 9>situation we find ourselves in right now.

361
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 2>It is. And also you can't discount it. I mean,

362
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I love the idea that you're saying that

363
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Mike Rodgers will win in November. And he's a he's

364
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>a terrific candidate. I mean, you look at his backgrounds.

365
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 2>But these people that's you know, a lot of people

366
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.119
<v Speaker 2>said Mondani's never going to win, and here we are.

367
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:54.400
<v Speaker 7>No.

368
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.319
<v Speaker 9>I mean, look, I don't know that it's a shoe

369
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.200
<v Speaker 9>in for Mike Rodgers, but it's certainly he's He will

370
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.440
<v Speaker 9>be in a much better position than if he were

371
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 9>running against Haley Stevens, who fought to save the auto industry,

372
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:10.000
<v Speaker 9>who is a moderate, real Michigan you know, resident all

373
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 9>of her life and who has taken moderate positions her

374
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.079
<v Speaker 9>whole life. And you're going to put him up against

375
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 9>Mike Rodgers, up against some guy who's hanging out with

376
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.160
<v Speaker 9>Hassan Piker. And I do not believe that that translates

377
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 9>statewide in a purple state like Michigan, which voted for

378
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 9>Trump twice in the last three times that he ran.

379
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 9>It just it doesn't smell. It doesn't pass the smell test.

380
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.039
<v Speaker 2>And now I hope you're right. I hope you're right.

381
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:37.640
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, so I think it works. That stuff may work

382
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 9>in small blue city council districts and congressional districts, and

383
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.640
<v Speaker 9>even blue cities like New York and Chicago. But I

384
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.200
<v Speaker 9>don't think that you know that dog hunts been in

385
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 9>a purple state which built on the middle class and

386
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.039
<v Speaker 9>union workers.

387
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 5>Craig Eaton, You know, Melissa, I agree with you, but

388
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 5>I do fear the fact that the country is trending

389
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.839
<v Speaker 5>towards socialism. I mean, look at around the country, the

390
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 5>different mayors that have and we can't take this for

391
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 5>granted here. I mean, this is a scary proposition.

392
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:07.559
<v Speaker 9>No no one can take it for granted. And look,

393
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.319
<v Speaker 9>obviously the Republicans are going to ring the alarm bell

394
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker 9>on this, but sane Democrats who care about the future

395
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.920
<v Speaker 9>of this party have to speak up too, because a

396
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.240
<v Speaker 9>lot of this is being driven by eighteen to thirty

397
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 9>nine year olds. They see it on TikTok, they see

398
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.160
<v Speaker 9>it on social media. No one reads beyond the headline.

399
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 9>No one has any historical perspective or institutional knowledge. I mean,

400
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:32.119
<v Speaker 9>these ideas have been tried and failed everywhere around the world,

401
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 9>and all that it would end up doing is setting

402
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.319
<v Speaker 9>us backwards and taking us That's not even to say

403
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.200
<v Speaker 9>that's just some the economics. We're not even talking about

404
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.039
<v Speaker 9>the dangerous public safety positions that this group has taken

405
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 9>and these people are taken. And then layer into that

406
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 9>the anti Semitism, which is the core of what holds

407
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 9>the DSA together. Don't kid yourself. It's not affordability, it's

408
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 9>anti semitism, and it's a hate for Israel. So, I mean,

409
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.359
<v Speaker 9>everybody has to come together. Really, we need to see

410
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.079
<v Speaker 9>the center left and the center right pull the country

411
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 9>through this, or else we will go off a cliff.

412
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Melissa, do you see any leadership and in the Democratic

413
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.359
<v Speaker 4>Party that has the ability to stand up and has

414
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:14.680
<v Speaker 4>the courage to stand up.

415
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:17.759
<v Speaker 9>You know, we've seen a couple of people stick their

416
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.599
<v Speaker 9>head up. You know, We've seen Josh Gothheimer stand up.

417
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 9>We've seen Shapiro stand up. Obviously, see my former boss

418
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 9>Andrew Cuomo stand up.

419
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.160
<v Speaker 7>There are some.

420
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:31.000
<v Speaker 9>People who have stood up to this, but unfortunately it's

421
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.400
<v Speaker 9>the minority voices.

422
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 7>Right now.

423
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 9>We're seeing you know, Gavin Newsome running to the left,

424
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 9>Kamala Harris running to the left. Even Rob Emmanuel, who

425
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 9>I have a lot of respect for, flew to Israel

426
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.759
<v Speaker 9>to criticize Israel because he thinks he needs to do

427
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 9>that in order to be a viable candidate. So it's yeah,

428
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.279
<v Speaker 9>it's it's And Rob em Manuel was in you know,

429
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.799
<v Speaker 9>was in the IDF. I don't know how many people

430
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 9>know that, but he served in the IDF fir a

431
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 9>stant So to see even him do that shows you

432
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 9>where the politicians on the left they have to go

433
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 9>in order to be viable. And we've got to start

434
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 9>try to get some people together who can be just

435
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.400
<v Speaker 9>as loud as the crazies online to say this isn't

436
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.799
<v Speaker 9>actually where you need to go. We'll support you if

437
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 9>you're seene and moderate and you actually work for working

438
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 9>people and don't just put forth crazy ideas that sound

439
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 9>good and are completely impossible and others that quite frankly,

440
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:21.880
<v Speaker 9>are dangerous.

441
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Lissa, keep fighting for common sense and we'll catch up

442

449
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 2>We are back here on Kats and Cosby. Well, this

450
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.640
<v Speaker 2>is pretty stunning that Mayor Mundani's office. Well, it looks

451
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.559
<v Speaker 2>like they're launching a new war on New York City

452
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 2>business leaders. They kicked off everybody that is on this

453
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 2>mayoral committee. It is the Mayor's Fund to Advance New

454
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 2>York City and it was big business leaders, fifty of them,

455
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>all of them suddenly removed.

456
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.799
<v Speaker 3>And who raised an enormous amount of money for rgod

457
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:20.359
<v Speaker 3>causes to help this city.

458
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 2>And then replaced it with some questionable folks.

459
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, how about a long shoreman and a high school teacher.

460
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't sound like they know much about.

461
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.519
<v Speaker 4>That raise a lot of money.

462
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah wow. So what does all this mean? Well, let's

463
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.319
<v Speaker 2>go to Steve in full Up. He is the President's

464
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.920
<v Speaker 2>CEO of the Partnership for New York City. And Steve,

465
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>what do you make of this move?

466
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:42.759
<v Speaker 10>I mean, I think it's very short sighted, it's silly,

467
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.839
<v Speaker 10>it's a mistake, and it just reinforces a narrative that

468
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.279
<v Speaker 10>you know, he's trying to placate a political base and

469
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 10>doesn't want to work with the business community. I think

470
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.640
<v Speaker 10>what John said is spot on. This group has raised

471
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 10>millions of dollars in the city's most vulnerable of time.

472
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 10>So COVID the post nine to eleven, and these are

473
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 10>generous people and the mayor saying I don't want your money.

474
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 10>It's kind of silly, but that's where we are.

475
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:08.519
<v Speaker 6>Now.

476
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.640
<v Speaker 4>Let me ask you who are these people? Because the

477
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 4>audience doesn't know who these people are and who appointed

478
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:17.920
<v Speaker 4>them originally and tell us about it.

479
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.119
<v Speaker 10>So look, it's it's some of the most prominent names

480
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 10>in New York City, representing some of the most prominent

481
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 10>corporations from you know, A City Bank to Blackstone to

482
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 10>Tishman's Fire uh to.

483
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Root in that I mean the name you have on

484
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:35.039
<v Speaker 4>the New York City.

485
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 10>Partnership, Well, these are it's names on the City Partnership.

486
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 10>But it's bigger than that. I mean, these are people

487
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.920
<v Speaker 10>that for decades upon decades have been institutions in New

488
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 10>York City and some of the most philanthropic people that

489
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:48.640
<v Speaker 10>you could possibly imagine.

490
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 4>And who crushed the button in the city was it

491
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:53.279
<v Speaker 4>the mayor himself?

492
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 10>Well, look, I mean these people got letters in the

493
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 10>mail saying thank you for your service, So you know,

494
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.720
<v Speaker 10>it's just the strange way to kind of conduct business.

495
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.000
<v Speaker 10>I mean, I think that if you were looking to

496
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 10>really raise money, you would still allow these people to

497
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 10>participate because it's the mayor's discretion where these funds go.

498
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.480
<v Speaker 10>So the more dollars in that account, the better off

499
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 10>to achieve his objectives. And these are people that just

500
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 10>want to work with the mayor, regardless of whether it

501
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 10>was Deblasio or Adams or Momdani. They're New Yorkers ultimately,

502
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 10>So I mean, looky, I don't think it makes a

503
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 10>lot of sense. John, I think most people who look

504
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 10>at it rationally would say that it doesn't make a

505
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 10>lot of sense. But here we are.

506
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the replacement Steve again is just shocking to

507
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>me because, as Joge Weinberg was saying, it's along shoreman,

508
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:41.920
<v Speaker 2>who's the other one?

509
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 4>High school teacher?

510
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean to have against long or high school teachers,

511
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 3>But how do they contribute and raise that kind of

512
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 3>money and understand business right the way these.

513
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Other people do. It's a whole different creative people.

514
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what do you make Yeah?

515
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 10>I think I think, Look, I don't know the individuals

516
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 10>that replaced them personally, but what I'll tell you is

517
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.839
<v Speaker 10>that you know, most of the time when people are

518
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.839
<v Speaker 10>involved in these boards and organizations, they tend to be

519
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.039
<v Speaker 10>naturally more generous because they're involved. And these are the

520
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:15.400
<v Speaker 10>people that control their own wallets, so it's not necessarily

521
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 10>soliciting other people. These are huge influencers with huge networks,

522
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 10>and the money ultimately went to the place that the

523
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 10>mayor wanted it to go to. So like replacing those

524
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 10>people and creating an extra step of fundraising is just counterintuitive.

525
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Craig, nothing from Craig.

526
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, nothing because it's so preposterous you can't

527
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.160
<v Speaker 3>even talk about intelligently exactly.

528
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 4>Is anybody talking to the mayor of restoring some of

529
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 4>these people or common sense?

530
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 10>I think that you know, the challenge with the mayor

531
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 10>is that he's a super nice guy in person, is

532
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 10>that you know, people want to get by on the

533
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 10>performative stuff, and and the challenge is that, you know,

534
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 10>there's a lot of times and places where you know,

535
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:08.519
<v Speaker 10>the business community feels that he's you know, publicly shaming them,

536
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 10>publicizing names pr in front of them, and it's really

537
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 10>about a campaign. This is a good example in the

538
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.440
<v Speaker 10>sense that you know, if you don't want somebody to

539
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.720
<v Speaker 10>participate in a board, you don't necessarily need to make

540
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.160
<v Speaker 10>a public narrative about it. You can have a conversation

541
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 10>about it. And the truth of the matter is, there's

542
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 10>no law that says the board has to be seven people,

543
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.519
<v Speaker 10>nine people, or fifty nine people. You could use your

544
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 10>discretion and take everybody's money, which would seem like what's

545
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.119
<v Speaker 10>in the best interest of New York.

546
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, Steve Phillip, CEO of the New York City Partnership,

547
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:42.200
<v Speaker 4>the most powerful in New York City, and you and

548
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.599
<v Speaker 4>you have the three hundred most important people on your board.

549
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much for coming on and keep us,

550
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.920
<v Speaker 4>keep us informed, and keep u on. New York Is

551
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 4>informed in the doubless New York and go bless Mark.

552
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Steve, very much.

553
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.279
<v Speaker 10>Thank you.

554
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.119
<v Speaker 4>Now it's the top News of the day sponsored by

555
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 4>Goya Foods.

556
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 1>It's the top news of the day sponsored by Goya.

557
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's Rini Cosbi and.

558
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Here are some of the headlines. Guys for the big

559
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Goya headlines, and there are a number of ones today.

560
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.000
<v Speaker 2>First of all, a person has been arrested for arson

561
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:22.720
<v Speaker 2>as the wildfires in Spokane, Washington remain at zero percent containment.

562
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:27.279
<v Speaker 2>The fires also have forcunately sixty five thousand people from

563
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 2>their homes and destroyed some seven hundred buildings. And this

564
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.720
<v Speaker 2>is interesting. Luigi Mangioni is asking a New York court

565
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to allow broader access to his upcoming state murder trial

566
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>over the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. His attorneys,

567
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Luigia Mangionies have filed emotion seeking to live stream the proceedings,

568
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.079
<v Speaker 2>arguing that the court should not limit access by selecting

569
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.480
<v Speaker 2>only a small group of reporters or denying an overflow

570
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>court room feed. New York State typically does not, obviously,

571
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 2>as a state, televise these kind of cases. We'll keep

572
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:09.799
<v Speaker 2>you posted. Obviously, a horrible case that happened there and everybody,

573
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 2>we're going to take a break, and General Jackeen is

574
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:14.440
<v Speaker 2>coming up to give us the very latest on what's

575
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.519
<v Speaker 2>going on with Iran. It's up and down. We'll find

576
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 2>out the very latest.

577
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Your commuting home with Kats and Cosby. Now here's John

578
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Katsimatidis and Rated Gosby on seventy seven WADC.

579
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 4>Well we are back and well, I guess everything revolves

580
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 4>a Brown, what's going on in Iran? And who better

581
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 4>to have than General Jack Keane to give us a

582
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 4>pulse of the situation. Well, General, what do you think?

583
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.839
<v Speaker 8>Well, a couple of things.

584
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 11>Number one, the President actually has concluded that the Iranians

585
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 11>are the most serious they've ever been since we went

586
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 11>to the ceasefire on April the seventh, So he does

587
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 11>believe there is a potential stop.

588
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 4>General, the stock market went up almost a thousand points today.

589
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:13.279
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I know, I saw that nine hundred and seven points.

590
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.839
<v Speaker 11>So uh, he believes there is a potential for a

591
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 11>deal here.

592
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.039
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

593
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 11>And I think if if it doesn't materialize, he'll go

594
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 11>back to major combat operations, because he just days ago,

595
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:31.279
<v Speaker 11>you know, he said, these guys don't want to make

596
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:35.079
<v Speaker 11>a deal. Yeah, they're just playing us. So something happened

597
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 11>and they're the appeal to him at the convince them

598
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 11>that maybe this time they're serious. We'll know in a

599
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 11>few days what the Iranian strategy, John and Rita has been.

600
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 11>When when we went to the ceasefire on April of seventh,

601
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.279
<v Speaker 11>remember the reason for that is they shut down the

602
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 11>straits of the Moves and on March the second, and

603
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.519
<v Speaker 11>oil prices and gas prices spiked as a result of it,

604
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 11>and the mid terms were coming, and economic concerns and

605
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:16.680
<v Speaker 11>political concerns and alleviating those concerns became the objective, not

606
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:21.799
<v Speaker 11>the military objectives any longer, not that they still weren't important.

607
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 8>They were, but these.

608
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:28.000
<v Speaker 11>Took position I in terms of trying to resolve it,

609
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.559
<v Speaker 11>and we thought that could get resolved. But we didn't

610
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 11>get a deal with these guys until June the seventeenth,

611
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:38.200
<v Speaker 11>when the president to both presidents signed it. And what

612
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.720
<v Speaker 11>was the deal about. It was about the straits of

613
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 11>the moves. It was the only deal in the MoU

614
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 11>the memory of understanding, all the rest of it was

615
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 11>up the negotiations, and then within days they violated the deal.

616
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.359
<v Speaker 11>Here's where I think the Iranians are really coming from.

617
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:59.680
<v Speaker 11>They believe that now I'm thinking from where they are,

618
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.759
<v Speaker 11>what are what we think of them? From where they're

619
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:06.079
<v Speaker 11>coming at this, And they think they've had the upper

620
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:10.240
<v Speaker 11>hand since they forced us to stop the war on

621
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:14.200
<v Speaker 11>April seventh. Their objective after that was not to make

622
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 11>a deal, but to stall and drag out negotiations. So

623
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:23.079
<v Speaker 11>the closer it got to the midterms, and the more

624
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:29.079
<v Speaker 11>the oil prices and gas prices increased, the better opportunity

625
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:33.920
<v Speaker 11>for them and likelihood of more concessions if there was

626
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:39.480
<v Speaker 11>a deal. I think they still have that mindset, and

627
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.240
<v Speaker 11>what I'm hearing about the negotiations, the deal that's on

628
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 11>the table the president will never accept in any event.

629
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:49.519
<v Speaker 11>I think what the Runians would like to do is

630
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 11>extend the negotiations John and Rita here as supposed to

631
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:56.839
<v Speaker 11>try to finalize it in a couple of days. It

632
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 11>remains to be seen where we are, but I think

633
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 11>that's a fairly accurate description of where the Iranians are,

634
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.799
<v Speaker 11>and certainly where the president is. He's fed up, and

635
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:10.960
<v Speaker 11>if he doesn't get a deal here pretty soon, then

636
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:15.039
<v Speaker 11>he'll go back to major combat operations. That's kind of

637
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:15.880
<v Speaker 11>how I see it.

638
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I think I have I agree with everything you said

639
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.920
<v Speaker 4>that they're going to try to jerk around the whole

640
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 4>system to get it closer to September and make and

641
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.920
<v Speaker 4>make them more desperate because of the election.

642
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:35.160
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, and another thing, I haven't discussed this much, but

643
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 11>myself and the think tank Institute for Studying War come

644
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:47.400
<v Speaker 11>to the same conclusion that as we get closer as

645
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 11>opposed to the Irani. Let's assume we don't get a

646
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:51.920
<v Speaker 11>deal and we're still in negotiations and we start to

647
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:56.759
<v Speaker 11>have some problems, the Iranians will likely get more aggressive,

648
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.839
<v Speaker 11>not less aggressive, because why because they think the closer

649
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.799
<v Speaker 11>you get to the November elections, the less likelihood the

650
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.960
<v Speaker 11>president would ever respond and go back to major combat operations,

651
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:15.559
<v Speaker 11>knowing that tank oil and gas prices would spike again

652
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:22.360
<v Speaker 11>and be spiked during the election, and they're assuming that

653
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:26.400
<v Speaker 11>President Trump would want no part of it. So that's

654
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:30.800
<v Speaker 11>also a little glimpse of where the Iranians are. And

655
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 11>we have said from the beginning they don't want to

656
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 11>give up the straits of a moves. It is a

657
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:42.519
<v Speaker 11>strategic asset. Now it exceeded all of their expectations. They

658
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 11>got to stop war out of it, and number two,

659
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:48.920
<v Speaker 11>it affected the world economy beyond what they thought it

660
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:52.760
<v Speaker 11>would and it gives them leverage over the other countries

661
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:56.800
<v Speaker 11>in the region. So the likelihood they would truly give

662
00:34:56.840 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 11>it up and meet all of President Trump's objectives pretty slim.

663
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:01.559
<v Speaker 7>Wow.

664
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, General Jack Keane keep us posted it sounds like

665
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the next few days will be very telling, at least

666
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.400
<v Speaker 2>in the short term. What happens if they get something

667
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>on paper or not, and if they follow through with it,

668
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.960
<v Speaker 2>we'll see General Jackine, we love you, thank you.

669
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:19.599
<v Speaker 11>Very much, great talking about you.

670
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Thank you much too.

671
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much. And again, you guys are breaking

672
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:25.360
<v Speaker 2>news because Pole's closing soon.

673
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:27.039
<v Speaker 4>It's freaking news.

674
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.760
<v Speaker 2>WABC and Poles are going to be closing in just

675
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:35.840
<v Speaker 2>a few hours in Michigan and also Missouri and Michigan.

676
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 2>All eyes on Michigan and joining us now is Tutor Dixon.

677
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.920
<v Speaker 2>She was the Republican Party's nominee for governor of Michigan

678
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty two. She was the party's first female

679
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.440
<v Speaker 2>nominee for governor and Tutor. It's great to have you

680
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.599
<v Speaker 2>here on Katz and Cosby. I haven't talked to you

681
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.239
<v Speaker 2>it to a while. It's wonderful. Where is What do

682
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:57.599
<v Speaker 2>you think's going to happen tonight? And how big of

683
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.199
<v Speaker 2>a sort of I guess a barometer is it the

684
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.559
<v Speaker 2>rest of the country.

685
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:06.400
<v Speaker 9>I mean, all science point to Abdul l Sayad winning

686
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:10.440
<v Speaker 9>the Democratic primary on the Senate side, and I think

687
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:13.280
<v Speaker 9>that this is a huge change for the Democratic Party

688
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.639
<v Speaker 9>across the country. You come into a swing state in

689
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.960
<v Speaker 9>the middle of the country like Michigan, and you nominate

690
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:23.639
<v Speaker 9>someone who has openly set has openly called for open borders,

691
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:27.719
<v Speaker 9>for abolishing ice, and proudly says he wants ice abolished,

692
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:30.400
<v Speaker 9>has proudly said that he wants the government to take

693
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:33.599
<v Speaker 9>over private businesses, that he doesn't think that the big

694
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:37.400
<v Speaker 9>tech businesses should be owned by individuals anymore, or have

695
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.880
<v Speaker 9>private ownership or even public ownership. It should be government,

696
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 9>government ownership. I mean this, we're taught we're skipping right

697
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:49.079
<v Speaker 9>past socialism into communism here. He's called for defunding the military,

698
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.199
<v Speaker 9>he's called for defunding the police. These are the most

699
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:56.199
<v Speaker 9>radical stances we have seen come out of the Democrat Party,

700
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:00.199
<v Speaker 9>and not just one. We're talking about every possible ratico

701
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:03.840
<v Speaker 9>stance you could take. And he is right now leading,

702
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.840
<v Speaker 9>and we believe that he will win tonight, and that

703
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 9>to me says a lot about where the Democrat Party

704
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 9>is going in general.

705
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:13.639
<v Speaker 5>Craig Eon, you know, it's funny because all those things

706
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 5>you just stated, it just sounds like what we're facing

707
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 5>here in New York exactly the same issues. And it's

708
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.199
<v Speaker 5>not the same Democratic Party anymore. There is no Democratic

709
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.880
<v Speaker 5>partymore it's all socialism, and I don't know what's going

710
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.599
<v Speaker 5>to happen, but we need we need to take this

711
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:27.239
<v Speaker 5>seat back.

712
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.760
<v Speaker 9>And this is the thing that exactly I agree with you,

713
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:34.400
<v Speaker 9>exactly what is going to happen and what do we

714
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:36.800
<v Speaker 9>do to stop it? And how do we get out

715
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 9>of our own way and start to really message to

716
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 9>people and talk to people. I've watched what's happened in

717
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.079
<v Speaker 9>Michigan and I'm stunned by it. You'll hear them say

718
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 9>we want money out of politics, but they have groups

719
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 9>that are well funded that appear to be organic, but

720
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.880
<v Speaker 9>they're not. I promise you they're well funded. We just

721
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.679
<v Speaker 9>had somebody tweet yesterday, oh, a huge group of canvassers

722
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:03.639
<v Speaker 9>was from New York City into Detroit. Why because there's

723
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.679
<v Speaker 9>groups with big money behind these folks and they come

724
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 9>in and they have just infiltrated the state. I've watched

725
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.880
<v Speaker 9>them put up tables in small towns and hand out

726
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.360
<v Speaker 9>signs and talk about getting free stuff, and they certainly

727
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:18.840
<v Speaker 9>don't tell you the scary side of that. But there

728
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.599
<v Speaker 9>is a massive amount of money behind this. When people

729
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.280
<v Speaker 9>say the DNC doesn't have money and we shouldn't be worried.

730
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:27.960
<v Speaker 9>I promise you it's other places. The money is there,

731
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 9>it's just going into other organizations and they're educating people

732
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:33.599
<v Speaker 9>and Republicans are naive to that.

733
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:37.599
<v Speaker 4>Right now, they're sending people to every state as needed,

734
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:41.440
<v Speaker 4>and and a lot of foreign money, a lot of

735
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.039
<v Speaker 4>domestic money going to a jack campaign. And well, I

736
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.880
<v Speaker 4>hope you call in tonight that Rita's on again at

737
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.519
<v Speaker 4>ten o'clock tonight. I hope you call into RITA and you.

738
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Guys, yeah up, we'll connect afterwards. Dude it it'd be

739
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:58.559
<v Speaker 2>great to have you on later with all as the

<v Speaker 2>results come in. Thank you to so much. Thank you,

<v Speaker 4>Weinberg are here with you right now. Judge Weinberg, give

746
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 4>us the things that bother you.

747
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:24.519
<v Speaker 8>Well.

748
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Actually, something that made me feel very good today is

749
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:31.239
<v Speaker 3>a US District Court judge, based on the supremacy Clause,

750
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:34.440
<v Speaker 3>said that the State of New York could not ban

751
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:39.000
<v Speaker 3>mask wearing by federal law enforcement agencies, particularly ICE, and

752
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:44.239
<v Speaker 3>they could not be required to wear identification badges. And

753
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:46.960
<v Speaker 3>they did this on the supremacy clause because it's up

754
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.719
<v Speaker 3>to the federal government to regulate federal law enforcement, not

755
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 3>states and localities. So, Alan, what do you think about

756
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:53.800
<v Speaker 3>that decision.

757
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:56.079
<v Speaker 12>Well, not only is it the right decision, but it's

758
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:59.039
<v Speaker 12>part of a big effort led by my full mccauleague,

759
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 12>Glarry Tribe and others who have been saying the states

760
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:07.760
<v Speaker 12>ought to be taking far more action against the Trump

761
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:11.519
<v Speaker 12>administration and they ought to be invoking their powers, and

762
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:15.159
<v Speaker 12>it's really an attack on the supremacy clause. You know,

763
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:18.760
<v Speaker 12>I'm a scholar of the way the Constitution got to

764
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:20.880
<v Speaker 12>be written. I have a recent book on it called

765
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:23.480
<v Speaker 12>Founding Fathers and One Jewish Mother about the framing of

766
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.960
<v Speaker 12>our Constitution and the framing of Israel's Declaration of Independence.

767
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:29.960
<v Speaker 12>And the one thing you learn from that is that

768
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.960
<v Speaker 12>clearly the group that wanted the federal government to beat

769
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:40.679
<v Speaker 12>superior one helk and they prevailed. And the supremacy clause

770
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.559
<v Speaker 12>of the Constitution basically says to the states, no, no, no,

771
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:48.920
<v Speaker 12>you can't do anything to interfere with the federal government.

772
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:52.880
<v Speaker 12>If the federal government is operating within its proper.

773
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:53.559
<v Speaker 13>Sphere of influenza.

774
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:57.559
<v Speaker 12>And of course immigration is the paradigmatic federal power. You

775
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.559
<v Speaker 12>can't have separate immigration rules for New York.

776
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:01.039
<v Speaker 8>And New Jersey.

777
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.800
<v Speaker 12>You have to have one rule for immigration to the

778
00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:07.280
<v Speaker 12>United States and one method of enforcing it. And so

779
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.840
<v Speaker 12>any effort by states to try to interfere with the

780
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:16.679
<v Speaker 12>federal government's right to enforce their immigration policies would be

781
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:19.719
<v Speaker 12>found unconstitutional. And I'm delighted this court did that.

782
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me ask you this. You also have a

783
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:25.360
<v Speaker 3>law passed by the state legislatures signed by the governor

784
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:31.639
<v Speaker 3>which bans cooperation agreements between the local authorities and federal authorities.

785
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't the same reasoning appliance to violation supremacy clause?

786
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.239
<v Speaker 13>Absolutely, And you can't prevent local law.

787
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 12>Enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal law enforcement. Federal law enforcement,

788
00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:48.000
<v Speaker 12>to use a bad pun, Trump's state law enforcement and

789
00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:53.239
<v Speaker 12>state law enforcement clearly has to follow a federal law. Look,

790
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:55.480
<v Speaker 12>you know there was a big debate over the Posse

791
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.639
<v Speaker 12>Commatatus Act a long time ago, and you know you

792
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:05.679
<v Speaker 12>can't make you can't force state officials to do things

793
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:09.360
<v Speaker 12>that violate state law. But you can't also, on the

794
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:13.960
<v Speaker 12>other hand, include state officials from cooperating with the federal government.

795
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.960
<v Speaker 12>That clearly violates the supremacy clause. And I think the

796
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.400
<v Speaker 12>Supreme Court would rule on that nine to nothing.

797
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:23.559
<v Speaker 3>And under this law that was passed, Professor Deschwitz, you're

798
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:25.960
<v Speaker 3>going to go after the local county executives and the

799
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.880
<v Speaker 3>local sheriffs for non compliance. How do you think that's

800
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:29.559
<v Speaker 3>going to turn out?

801
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:31.960
<v Speaker 13>Well, I'm happy to represent any pro.

802
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:35.280
<v Speaker 12>Bono if that happens to to give whatever advice I

803
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:39.840
<v Speaker 12>can give as a constitutional lawyer on their side.

804
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.320
<v Speaker 13>You know, you can do it. You can do anything.

805
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:48.039
<v Speaker 12>But it's lawless to imagine the implications of that for

806
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:50.519
<v Speaker 12>the South. Back in the nineteen fifties when I came

807
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.159
<v Speaker 12>of age, if there were laws in states like Mississippi

808
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:57.920
<v Speaker 12>and Alabama saying that the state officials can't cooperate with

809
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:02.519
<v Speaker 12>desegregation orders of the federal courts, we still have segregation.

810
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:06.119
<v Speaker 12>And you know, all the liberals were on the federal

811
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.559
<v Speaker 12>side of that one. And now suddenly with the Republicans

812
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.239
<v Speaker 12>in power, the liberals have changed and they're now all

813
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:17.519
<v Speaker 12>in favor of states rights. And if you know, the

814
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.800
<v Speaker 12>Democrats get back in power, they'll shift on a dime

815
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:26.039
<v Speaker 12>because they're utterly unprincipled. All they care about is which

816
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:32.599
<v Speaker 12>side wins laws rights. Yeah, it's all about ideology and

817
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:35.920
<v Speaker 12>it's all about partisanship. It's not about the law. And

818
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.559
<v Speaker 12>you know that really marks the end of any democracy

819
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:46.480
<v Speaker 12>when states can absolutely faunt what the federal Constitution or

820
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:49.599
<v Speaker 12>the federal statutes require of them. So we're on the

821
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.440
<v Speaker 12>right side of this very very important fight. And many

822
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:54.719
<v Speaker 12>of my old liberal friends, who no longer talked to

823
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 12>me since I.

824
00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:58.239
<v Speaker 13>Left the Democratic Party on the wrong side of this.

825
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:02.000
<v Speaker 12>They are on the segregationists deep South side of this.

826
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:06.920
<v Speaker 12>They could be citing Calhoun saying that states have a

827
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:12.920
<v Speaker 12>right to nullify and keep their slaves. But that issue

828
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.360
<v Speaker 12>was solved by the Civil War, that issue was solved

829
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:18.880
<v Speaker 12>by the thirteen fourteen fifteen amendments. That issue was solved

830
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:21.440
<v Speaker 12>even before that by the supremacy cause of the Constitution.

831
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:28.679
<v Speaker 12>And these so called academics are urging people to essentially

832
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:29.880
<v Speaker 12>violate the Constitution.

833
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:32.079
<v Speaker 13>And that's very dangerous for rememer.

834
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:37.559
<v Speaker 4>Professor John katsutit's I've been letting you to judges. The

835
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:41.719
<v Speaker 4>judge and the professor go at it. One last question,

836
00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:47.599
<v Speaker 4>the effect is the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialist Party

837
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:52.840
<v Speaker 4>held a convention in Chicago. I heard that the turnout

838
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.400
<v Speaker 4>was not that big, was a couple of one hundred people.

839
00:44:56.039 --> 00:45:01.079
<v Speaker 4>How can a couple hundred people reign terror upon the

840
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:05.960
<v Speaker 4>rest of the Democratic Party and how are we going

841
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:06.519
<v Speaker 4>to solve that?

842
00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.880
<v Speaker 13>Well, it's a really it's a really big problem, and

843
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:11.519
<v Speaker 13>we're going to see its manifestation perhaps.

844
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:15.159
<v Speaker 12>In Michigan tonight. When this radical anti American, anti Jewish,

845
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:21.400
<v Speaker 12>anti everything a candidate beats a very decent centrist Republican

846
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:25.199
<v Speaker 12>for the nomination, then all of our efforts have to

847
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:27.440
<v Speaker 12>be put on making sure that he's defeated in the

848
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:28.920
<v Speaker 12>in the general election.

849
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much for coming on today, and we'll

850
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:32.360
<v Speaker 4>catch up again.

851
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

852
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:34.239
<v Speaker 7>Thanks.

853
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, great conversation, very interesting and important topic. In John

854
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:41.239
<v Speaker 2>we got a doctor Mark Siegel.

855
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Now, I'm glad he's on with us. Doctor Siegel, what subject?

856
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:47.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's so many problems in the world, especially

857
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:49.760
<v Speaker 4>in medicine. Where where do we start?

858
00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:54.400
<v Speaker 8>Well, I heard that you were appointed of an honorary professor. Now,

859
00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:58.119
<v Speaker 8>and I say I believe that that's true, that that

860
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.719
<v Speaker 8>that your knowledge base is so substant Angel that we

861
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:02.400
<v Speaker 8>can come to you pretty much for anything.

862
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, I got to take those brain vitamins that I

863
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:08.599
<v Speaker 4>am on, and uh, doctor Peter put me on him,

864
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:09.440
<v Speaker 4>and I.

865
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:12.920
<v Speaker 2>See, I remember, see he remembers he remembered our name,

866
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Siegel.

867
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:16.440
<v Speaker 8>Who knew I also I showed doctor Peter at a

868
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:19.800
<v Speaker 8>synagogue the other day. It was unbelievable. I think the

869
00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.760
<v Speaker 8>reason for that was just that Peter wanted a covering

870
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:25.199
<v Speaker 8>of his bald head. I think that's the only thing.

871
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:29.119
<v Speaker 4>I introduced him. And the Yama guy put on in

872
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:30.920
<v Speaker 4>respect kept falling off.

873
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:34.480
<v Speaker 8>Well that's he has. Yeah, you're supposed to have a

874
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:36.159
<v Speaker 8>clip on it, but he has nothing. A clip.

875
00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Tracks the tricks the trick.

876
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:46.760
<v Speaker 4>So doctor, yeah, people not buying strawberries and not buying blueberries,

877
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:49.079
<v Speaker 4>tell us what the heck is going on?

878
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 8>I wrote years ago in a in a book I

879
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.639
<v Speaker 8>had that was the bestseller before this latest miracles book.

880
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:59.559
<v Speaker 8>That book, I wrote that fear was the greatest virus around,

881
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.880
<v Speaker 8>and fear was more contagious than any other virus. And

882
00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:06.400
<v Speaker 8>people actually lose track of that because we you know,

883
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.719
<v Speaker 8>that was my message, and then we suddenly had a

884
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:13.880
<v Speaker 8>monstrous pandemic, so it looked like, well, you know, downplaying things.

885
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:17.440
<v Speaker 8>But reality is that that this is thousands of cases

886
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:20.639
<v Speaker 8>and now that we have two deaths related to cyclospora.

887
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:23.599
<v Speaker 2>But that's the stomach. That's the stomach.

888
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:26.440
<v Speaker 8>I'm talking about the stomach bug now. So the stomach

889
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:29.840
<v Speaker 8>bug has now led the two deaths in Michigan. Both

890
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:35.360
<v Speaker 8>were imm compromised, both got really dehydrated. And now everybody's like, WHOA,

891
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:38.159
<v Speaker 8>what if I eat lettuce? And the answer is that

892
00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:41.440
<v Speaker 8>if you get ahead of lettuce from a local grower

893
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:47.880
<v Speaker 8>or you buy it at one of Professor Cassimetid's stores,

894
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:51.000
<v Speaker 8>you're not going to have a problem. So the main

895
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:55.559
<v Speaker 8>thing is that that this is all the cyclo sport

896
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 8>is all linked to taco bell to tailor farms, to

897
00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:04.880
<v Speaker 8>Mexico go to mixing things in bags of lettuce, but

898
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.039
<v Speaker 8>it's not really linked to the ground. It's also not

899
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:12.360
<v Speaker 8>going to last much longer Rita because as the weather cools,

900
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:14.480
<v Speaker 8>which it's definitely going to do over the next couple

901
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:18.519
<v Speaker 8>of weeks, the cyclosport doesn't persist and it doesn't get

902
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:22.840
<v Speaker 8>beyond your intestine, and it takes weeks and it is

903
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:24.079
<v Speaker 8>definitely going to be limited.

904
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:29.840
<v Speaker 4>How about the fertilizers on people are complaining that organic

905
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:33.239
<v Speaker 4>strawberries they were putting, they were putting fertilizers on it

906
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:34.119
<v Speaker 4>or whatever.

907
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Pesticide pesticides.

908
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:40.639
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well see that's another thing that's that's a big scare.

909
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:42.519
<v Speaker 8>And John wants me to point out that, you know,

910
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:47.599
<v Speaker 8>the pesticide scare. If we don't have pesticides, then we

911
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:51.079
<v Speaker 8>end up looking like Africa in terms of the diseases

912
00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 8>we get. So we can't have it both ways. There's

913
00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:59.840
<v Speaker 8>definitely a pandemic of insects on our planet. And if

914
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:02.559
<v Speaker 8>we want to have crops that are that we can

915
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:05.599
<v Speaker 8>actually eat, we're gonna eat pesticides. So we have to

916
00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.639
<v Speaker 8>be careful. You know where we throw our stones. You

917
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:11.440
<v Speaker 8>know that we should limit exposure. We should limit exposure,

918
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:15.159
<v Speaker 8>but we shouldn't. We shouldn't not realize the benefits.

919
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, the one thing that came up is

920
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.920
<v Speaker 4>like apples or pears, we should we should eat the

921
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.519
<v Speaker 4>inside of the apple, inside of the pear. I mean,

922
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:26.480
<v Speaker 4>banana is a perfect thing. I mean it has a

923
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:30.360
<v Speaker 4>lot of insulation. You think that's better.

924
00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think the problem with bananas and I actually

925
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.400
<v Speaker 8>like them. Is that they're very high carbohydrates, so it's

926
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:39.320
<v Speaker 8>a trade off, and I don't think that. I think

927
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:42.320
<v Speaker 8>apples are probably the healthiest thing you can absolutely get.

928
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:45.280
<v Speaker 8>And yes, how about remembering to wash them. That's not

929
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:47.760
<v Speaker 8>a bad thing. And we should be washing our fruit

930
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:49.280
<v Speaker 8>and vegetables really carefully.

931
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a banana question, actually, go and I'm looking

932
00:49:56.000 --> 00:50:00.880
<v Speaker 2>question John. I remember John used to say, have like

933
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:03.320
<v Speaker 2>a like a little slice in the breakfast, like with

934
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:05.920
<v Speaker 2>yogurt or something like that. It's good to have some

935
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:06.760
<v Speaker 2>in moderation.

936
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:07.480
<v Speaker 4>Is that right?

937
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:10.719
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think it's fine. I think it's fine. I

938
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:13.000
<v Speaker 8>think food is unbelievably good for you. I think berries

939
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:17.000
<v Speaker 8>are really jam packed with fiber and antioxidants. I think

940
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:18.159
<v Speaker 8>if you're going to go to the cats of a

941
00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:20.840
<v Speaker 8>Titi's breakfast, you have to have the yogurt bowl. I

942
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:24.039
<v Speaker 8>don't I don't think you can eating these huge, huge

943
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:25.400
<v Speaker 8>eggs at well, wait a minute, what.

944
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:31.000
<v Speaker 4>About the late today on Saturday? Because Governor Hochel is

945
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 4>getting near at nine o'clock? What about do.

946
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:38.119
<v Speaker 8>You remember do you remember when Governor Hokeel came to

947
00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:43.639
<v Speaker 8>the movie that Katsamatides was in. Yeah, Marty, And if

948
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:47.519
<v Speaker 8>we needed an indication that time has passed to sit

949
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:49.519
<v Speaker 8>in a movie fitter and say, well, I haven't been

950
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:52.679
<v Speaker 8>in one of these in years, and all I've ever

951
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.599
<v Speaker 8>done is watch movie on my iPhone like everybody else,

952
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:58.760
<v Speaker 8>like the Zombie Generation. That's gen Z is the zombie

953
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:02.280
<v Speaker 8>gen Z for zombie generation, So all I uses my

954
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:05.320
<v Speaker 8>iPhone And then I'm in an actual movie theater loaded

955
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.920
<v Speaker 8>with popcorn, sitting there with the Governor of New York State,

956
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:10.719
<v Speaker 8>and we're waiting for the movie that the Cats of

957
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:13.039
<v Speaker 8>the Teas was brilliant and by the way, and all

958
00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:16.159
<v Speaker 8>of a sudden, the thing doesn't work, the sound doesn't work.

959
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:19.639
<v Speaker 8>We're sitting there for an hour. The Governor sat there patiently,

960
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.039
<v Speaker 8>and that is because John is such a great host.

961
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she was having a good time.

962
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:28.559
<v Speaker 4>She's a very nice lady, and you know, we give

963
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:29.159
<v Speaker 4>a respect.

964
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that was good, doctor Segal, Thank you very much.

965
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:34.079
<v Speaker 2>We should get going.

966
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:36.559
<v Speaker 5>But this is I just hope you didn't have the

967
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:39.159
<v Speaker 5>butter with the popcorn, because I'm healing hearing really bad

968
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:40.559
<v Speaker 5>things about that these days.

969
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, but did you ever hear good things about

970
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Butter jokes, it's not real butter.

971
00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:51.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, bad for that's bad for you.

972
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:54.639
<v Speaker 4>Well, in the movie studios, it might not be real butter,

973
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.079
<v Speaker 4>but real butter. Is we selling the super well yeah,

974
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking about the movie.

975
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:03.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, doctor Siga, we gotta go.

976
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:08.719
<v Speaker 4>We love you, I'll see you then.

977
00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Get the yogurt bowl. Thanks so much, doctor, We love you,

978
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:14.639
<v Speaker 2>and you guys were gonna take a break and we're

979
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:18.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna talk to Randy Mastro about all these different issues

980
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:22.320
<v Speaker 2>with the second home tax. Everything is happening, rent freeze.

981
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:24.280
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot on the table here in New York.

982
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:31.559
<v Speaker 1>It's our common sense recap of the big stories. It's

983
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Cats and Cosby on seventy seven w WABC.

984
00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:41.920
<v Speaker 2>And we are back here on Kats and Cosby and

985
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:45.800
<v Speaker 2>there is so much furer in New York and frustration

986
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:49.719
<v Speaker 2>over the second home tax, also lots of questions with

987
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the rent freeze. And joining us who better than former

988
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Deputy mayor and great attorney Randy Mastro. Randy your thoughts

989
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:00.960
<v Speaker 2>about First of all, we're all this is headed because

990
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, are these things legal? Especially let's talk about

991
00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the second home tax. They did extend it, but they

992
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.719
<v Speaker 2>send it out to everybody. People got docked, and a

993
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:12.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of them are saying these are not even legitimate.

994
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:21.639
<v Speaker 7>Well, it's absolutely insane that hundreds of thousands of New

995
00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:27.920
<v Speaker 7>Yorkers got put on a list that the city's finance

996
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:33.199
<v Speaker 7>department published it's online today on its website. Their names,

997
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:38.719
<v Speaker 7>their addresses, their property values as quote related to the

998
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:42.639
<v Speaker 7>new surcharge, not related to the new church, just people

999
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:47.280
<v Speaker 7>who own homes. It's absolutely insane. But what happened from

1000
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:53.719
<v Speaker 7>there was that seventeen thousand of the people on that

1001
00:53:54.079 --> 00:54:01.719
<v Speaker 7>list they got letters mailed notices that basically said, you

1002
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:06.960
<v Speaker 7>may be subject to this surcharge unless you qualify for

1003
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:12.639
<v Speaker 7>an exemption and prove to us that this surcharge doesn't

1004
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:16.599
<v Speaker 7>apply to you. Now, that's not the way the law works.

1005
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:21.119
<v Speaker 7>The state law that passed said the city has to

1006
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:24.519
<v Speaker 7>make the initial determination and then give you a chance

1007
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:27.880
<v Speaker 7>to appeal. The city didn't make any initial determination here.

1008
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:33.519
<v Speaker 7>The city shifted the burden to homeowners and said, sorry,

1009
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:37.920
<v Speaker 7>you better prove this surcharge, known as the pied tare

1010
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:41.639
<v Speaker 7>a tax doesn't apply to you. You wonder how crazy

1011
00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:45.880
<v Speaker 7>this is. I got one of those notices. Oh wow,

1012
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:50.239
<v Speaker 7>Mayor of New York City until December thirty one. But

1013
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:53.840
<v Speaker 7>I got a letter from this administration that said I

1014
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:57.840
<v Speaker 7>had to prove I don't you know that that's my

1015
00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:01.440
<v Speaker 7>primary residence. Okay, I had as a matter of law,

1016
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:03.920
<v Speaker 7>I had to live in the city last year to

1017
00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:06.440
<v Speaker 7>be deputy mayor. Of course, the people in the Mondani

1018
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:09.519
<v Speaker 7>administration know that I've lived in this city for forty years.

1019
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:12.039
<v Speaker 7>I paid taxes in this city for forty years. I've

1020
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:14.400
<v Speaker 7>lived at that address for more than a decade, and

1021
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:17.960
<v Speaker 7>I was first Deputy Mayor and had to legally live

1022
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:21.079
<v Speaker 7>in New York to be first Deputy Mayor as my

1023
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:24.199
<v Speaker 7>primary residence. And they had the audacity to send me

1024
00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:27.440
<v Speaker 7>a notice. Just unbelievable.

1025
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:30.519
<v Speaker 4>How many notices I heard different numbers. I heard that

1026
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:34.480
<v Speaker 4>nine hundred and seventy five thousand notices were in correct.

1027
00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:39.880
<v Speaker 7>And that's that basically is basically virtually every homeowner, co op,

1028
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:41.679
<v Speaker 7>condo owner in the city.

1029
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:46.039
<v Speaker 14>And then that, and then they, and then they, and

1030
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:48.880
<v Speaker 14>then and then they put the obligation on all of

1031
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:54.400
<v Speaker 14>us nine hundred and seventy five people two thousands to

1032
00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:58.679
<v Speaker 14>say we were to prove that we're not guilty.

1033
00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Only if you got notice saying that you're in that

1034
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:03.519
<v Speaker 3>zone of seventeen thousand, the.

1035
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:08.320
<v Speaker 7>Ones that were we opened your mouth those letters. Judge,

1036
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:11.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm sort over inclusive number because there aren't going to

1037
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:13.079
<v Speaker 7>be seventeen thousand homes.

1038
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:14.519
<v Speaker 4>Of course, that's right.

1039
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:17.760
<v Speaker 7>You know, among the most valuable homes in New York City,

1040
00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:22.280
<v Speaker 7>do you think that seventeen thousand of them are basically

1041
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.840
<v Speaker 7>vacant and rarely used because they're second homes?

1042
00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:26.760
<v Speaker 8>Not? Not so.

1043
00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:31.159
<v Speaker 7>The seventeen thousand is a grossly over inclusive number. Yet

1044
00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:37.239
<v Speaker 7>now people like myself, who anybody would know is a

1045
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:40.400
<v Speaker 7>New Yorker and always has been all right, and had

1046
00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:42.960
<v Speaker 7>to be as first Deputy mayor, I got to prove

1047
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:47.559
<v Speaker 7>that that's my primary residence. That's insane, Craig.

1048
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:48.079
<v Speaker 4>Eaton, Randy.

1049
00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:50.480
<v Speaker 5>The bigger problem of hearing from my clients is that

1050
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.159
<v Speaker 5>if you want to claim the exemption, you have to

1051
00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:55.760
<v Speaker 5>get to the end of the application online and you

1052
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:59.199
<v Speaker 5>have to give them your address, your social Security number,

1053
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:02.800
<v Speaker 5>you drive is life since number tax returns, so it's

1054
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:05.639
<v Speaker 5>like a phishing expedition almost. But in order to claim

1055
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:09.039
<v Speaker 5>the exemption, you have to upload all this information first,

1056
00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:11.719
<v Speaker 5>Otherwise you can't get to the end of the application

1057
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:13.400
<v Speaker 5>online to say you're exempt.

1058
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.960
<v Speaker 7>You are completely right, Craig, you got to it says

1059
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:22.559
<v Speaker 7>in the notice that you know, I've got to my

1060
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:26.400
<v Speaker 7>documents to back up what I say. That's things like

1061
00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:29.119
<v Speaker 7>when you tax return, I got to give this administration

1062
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:33.039
<v Speaker 7>my tax return. Okay. They are already under this law,

1063
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:38.119
<v Speaker 7>the state law, they have access to foo paid city taxes.

1064
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:42.599
<v Speaker 7>That's city income taxes. That's what proves you're a city resident.

1065
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:43.239
<v Speaker 8>Right.

1066
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:47.320
<v Speaker 7>They didn't need to do this. This is just outright

1067
00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:54.480
<v Speaker 7>harassment invasion that state law. Absolutely contrary to that state law.

1068
00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:57.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, Randy, how many do you think at the

1069
00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:58.639
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, do we have a sense of

1070
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:01.039
<v Speaker 2>how many? Okay, it's nine and seventy five, then it

1071
00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:04.159
<v Speaker 2>comes down to the seventeen thousand, right, nine seventy five

1072
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:06.639
<v Speaker 2>thousand to seventeen. How do we have a gauge of, like,

1073
00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:09.199
<v Speaker 2>how many at the end of the day really really

1074
00:58:09.239 --> 00:58:10.199
<v Speaker 2>probably are in that?

1075
00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:13.639
<v Speaker 7>Yes, we do. It's going to be about a.

1076
00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Third of that at seventeen a.

1077
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:21.880
<v Speaker 7>Few thousand, not not ten thousand, not seventeen thousand, not

1078
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:23.519
<v Speaker 7>nine hundred and seventy five.

1079
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Thousand, And in the meantime, the fishing expedition, like Craig

1080
00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:31.079
<v Speaker 2>is talking about, all that information goes in there and

1081
00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:33.239
<v Speaker 2>it goes to the Mundani administration. Is that right?

1082
00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:35.360
<v Speaker 5>And you have all the information out there that anyone

1083
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:36.320
<v Speaker 5>can have access to.

1084
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's shocking.

1085
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:38.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, well, well.

1086
00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:42.599
<v Speaker 7>Look look what they already did. Okay, virtually every homeowner

1087
00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:46.519
<v Speaker 7>in this city had their name, address, and property value

1088
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.880
<v Speaker 7>posted online. It's still online. Why doesn't the Department of

1089
00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:54.559
<v Speaker 7>Finance take that list down? Since they've now been forced

1090
00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:57.559
<v Speaker 7>to admit it really isn't in any way, shape or

1091
00:58:57.599 --> 00:58:59.840
<v Speaker 7>form related to the searchcharge.

1092
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Because it's warfare Randy's last warfare.

1093
00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:07.679
<v Speaker 7>There's something fundamentally wrong with the way this administration is

1094
00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:11.519
<v Speaker 7>conducting itself, and they have to be held accountable. That's

1095
00:59:11.519 --> 00:59:14.159
<v Speaker 7>why people have to stand up. They have to they

1096
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:16.559
<v Speaker 7>have to stand up in protest, and many people did

1097
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:21.280
<v Speaker 7>over the past week and a half. They expressed their outrage.

1098
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:24.719
<v Speaker 7>So the Mundane administration had to backpedal, They had to

1099
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:28.079
<v Speaker 7>extend deadlines, they had to admit that they had over

1100
00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:32.840
<v Speaker 7>included on their lists. I mean, but we have to

1101
00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:37.880
<v Speaker 7>fight back. The only way to make this administration follow

1102
00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:41.480
<v Speaker 7>the law is to take them on and challenge them.

1103
00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:44.880
<v Speaker 2>So do you anticipate obviously a lot of legal action

1104
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:47.199
<v Speaker 2>coming their way. I mean, it sounds like there's a

1105
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:48.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of things there.

1106
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:53.559
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know, I don't say this lately. I already

1107
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:57.199
<v Speaker 7>have several lawsuits against this administration, including the one over

1108
00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:03.559
<v Speaker 7>the rent trees, where the mayor, you know, basically he

1109
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:10.280
<v Speaker 7>turned what's supposed to be an independent board making independent

1110
01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:15.880
<v Speaker 7>decisions based on data and legal standards, what rent increases

1111
01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:21.360
<v Speaker 7>landlords should be able to impose on rent stabilized departments.

1112
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:23.639
<v Speaker 7>He basically turned it into a sham process with the

1113
01:00:23.679 --> 01:00:26.960
<v Speaker 7>predetermined outcome to deliver on a campaign promise. So of

1114
01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:30.480
<v Speaker 7>course we're in court there and we will be arguing

1115
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:33.159
<v Speaker 7>that case on the Merits on August twenty first.

1116
01:00:33.559 --> 01:00:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, you got to keep us posted. Former first Deputy

1117
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Mayor of New York, Randy Mastro such important issues. I mean,

1118
01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:45.199
<v Speaker 2>everybody is just shocked about all of these things, and

1119
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>it's affecting so many New Yorkers.

1120
