I was a Commissioner of the 12 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.159 Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for eight years. 13 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.679 Eight years the Port Authority. So this is going to 14 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.640 hit close to home for you. We're about to commemorate 15 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:45.920 twenty five years. I know you listen to me every day. 16 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.640 I am beating this drama. I had Bill Donnie you 17 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.200 want from the Copic League. He's written a long letter 18 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.479 urging Mamdanie not the com nine to eleven. I brought 19 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.359 on survivors, victims, the families. I put on the guy 20 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.320 that started the petitian. I'm bringing on another lady. Pay 21 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.760 him on a mission to keep this mayor away. 22 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:04.879 Now. 23 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.879 I know I can't do it, and I know the 24 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.079 odds are stacked against me, but I also know that 25 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:16.000 the overwhelming majority, not even the overwhelming majority of nine 26 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.879 to eleven families, don't want this anti American mayor there. 27 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.959 So I'm not asking you whether you think he'll come 28 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:24.879 or not, or if you all governor, if you would 29 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.159 stop him from coming or not. I want, as a 30 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.680 guy that worked with a port authority who lost people 31 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.159 that day, I want you to tell me do you 32 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:33.920 think the mayor should show up? 33 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.000 Well, first of all, said, I don't know if you 34 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.840 know this or not, but my nephew was murdered on 35 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.519 that day. No, Sergeant Tommy Jurgens, my sister Linda's older boy. 36 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:46.200 Oldest boy. 37 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.239 I'm sorry, six years old Army veteran volunteer firefighter, New 38 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.719 York State Court officer, was giving first day to a 39 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.519 woman who was severely burned in Tower two when it 40 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.599 collapsed on him. We never got a body or DNA. 41 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.000 We don't. He got his side arm and his badge. 42 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.159 So it's very personal to me. I am a family 43 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.120 member and I don't think zoron Mundanmi should go. It's 44 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.400 as if you know someone's having a wake and they 45 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.680 asked you not to go to the wake for personal reasons. 46 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.800 You wouldn't go. So I mean, I don't think he 47 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.360 should go. But here's where I'm going to say. If 48 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.439 he's hell bent on going, I think people have a 49 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.719 way to respectfully protest that. Turn your back on him, 50 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:38.280 don't say anything to him, don't make a ruckus, be 51 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.879 solemn because it is a solemn day. Just turn your 52 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:43.439 back on him. 53 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.039 Much like the compsit to booth the basil years ago, right, 54 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.280 same thing, same thing, group of city homeowners. 55 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.000 Homeowners say that Mayor mum Donnie bungled the new pieda 56 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.919 tear tax and is now suing to delay implementation of 57 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.680 this controversial surcharge. Political reporter Marsha Kramer has the story. 58 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.520 It was a taunting social media post which Mayor Mondonni 59 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.960 gleefully told owners of people he believed had second homes 60 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.319 with more than five million dollars and co ops and 61 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.400 condos worth more than one million dollars to expect new 62 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.800 tax bills. Now, homeowners are striking back, saying the mayor 63 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.800 botched the rollout. Many who actually lived full time in 64 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:22.719 their homes were. 65 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:23.199 On the list. 66 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.199 Mayor Mondanie wanted to make a splashy headline with the 67 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.039 second home search charge, but his administration violated the law 68 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.879 and implementing it. It's been a total debacle, and the 69 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.520 way they rolled this out violated the state law that 70 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.000 authorized them to implement it in the first place in 71 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.000 fundamental ways. 72 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.039 Attorney Randy Mastro, who followed the suit, says the way 73 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.520 the city did it, listing nine hundred thousand people on 74 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.439 a list of people who could be subject to the 75 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.560 tax and sending letters to seventeen thousand others unfairly puts 76 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.840 the burden approof on homeowners to establish their full time 77 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:58.719 city residents. 78 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.039 It's both legal and it's unfair, and it's unconscionable because 79 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.759 now thousands of homeowners have been put in jeopardy. Thousands 80 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.919 of homeowners are seeking and having to pay for professional 81 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.319 advice lawyer's accountants on how to make this application for 82 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:20.920 an exemption. 83 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.360 The Mayor's office insis is doing everything possible to fix things, saying, quote, 84 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.160 the Department of Finance has been working around the clock 85 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.959 to answer questions, provide assistance, and ensure those subjects of 86 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.519 the search charge have the information they need. We extended 87 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.079 the exemption application deadline to September eighteenth. Updated our online guidance. 88 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.000 So, Marsha, let's talk more about this tax because I'd 89 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:49.319 like to understand something specifically. Is this suit is it 90 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.319 seeking to actually kill the tax? 91 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.680 Well, actually, right now, it's seeking an injunction to delay 92 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.879 implementation because they say there are so many flaws in 93 00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.759 the way it was rolled out. And one of the 94 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.360 things this suit takes issue with is a list of 95 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.040 seventeen thousand people who got tax notices. The suit says 96 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.959 it was over broad, and as evidence, I point to 97 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.639 the fact that sixty eight hundred people, that's forty percent 98 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.920 of the people who are on the list, have either 99 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.120 filed an exemption or in the process of filing an exemption. 100 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.800 All right, sounds like there's a big cleanup to be 101 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.560 made my city Hall here. 102 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:28.000 The America hating jew hating abdul El sayed with Jake 103 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.240 Tapper go to see of CNN yesterday. 104 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.879 I want them to live in America where they can 105 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.519 breathe clean air and drink clean water. 106 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.279 And actually, Sara and I like each other. 107 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.399 I don't know about the first Lady and the President, 108 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.839 but from what I've heard, it's. 109 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:40.639 A bit of a rocky road. 110 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.199 Prime Minister Benjamin Ettanya who publicly rejecting a Trump backed 111 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.040 fifteen point piece plan while reaffirming that Hamas cannot have weapons. 112 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.199 This says Iran is issuing new demands over the straight 113 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.920 of war moves. Fox News Chief Foreign correspondent Trey Yins 114 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.439 is live from Tel Aviv with more Right. 115 00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.759 Yeah, Hey, Peter, good morning. 116 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.839 While the Middle East waits to see if an agreement 117 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.959 can be reached to reopen the Strait of Warmuz, Iranian 118 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.439 officials are issuing new demands around. Supreme National Security Council 119 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.199 released fresh demands over the weekend, calling on the United 120 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.680 States to permanently end the war and compensate Iran for 121 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.560 damages before the strait would reopen. This does come, as 122 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.319 Iran's four Minister says, even if a deal is reached, 123 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.720 it doesn't necessarily mean the strait will stay open. 124 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.120 We have been discussing the temporary route and we are 125 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.879 very close to reaching a conclusion. Work is being carried 126 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.759 out based on the maps of this route prepared by 127 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.680 the enforces. Negotiations have taken place between the navies of 128 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.800 the two countries and the details are being finalized. 129 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.720 I believe we will be. 130 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.279 Able to conclude these negotiations very soon. 131 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.600 Conversations about the straightcome as the US naval blockade of 132 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.800 Iranian ports remains in effect, costing the regime hundreds of 133 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.560 millions of dollars each day, and according to the US 134 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.439 Central Command, as of August eighth, centcom redirected y three 135 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.120 commercial vessels disabled to and boarded to. The US military 136 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.600 has also permitted more than thirty ships to pass through 137 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.279 the blockade for humanitarian aid. Vice President jad Vance told 138 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.360 Fox News the US pressure on Iran will continue. 139 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.120 They're hurting in a big way. 140 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.680 They want this thing to be over. 141 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.120 The question is whether they're able, their system is able 142 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.959 to give the things that are necessary for us to 143 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.399 be happy, for us to feel like we've gotten what. 144 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.720 We need out of this particular engagement. 145 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.000 That is still to be determined, But I do think 146 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.040 that we've made some progress over the last few days with. 147 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:33.720 Talks on going. 148 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.120 Iranian proxies remain active.

It is trying to run interference so 154 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:59.079 we can't deport illegal aliens and we can'tupport these people. 155 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.839 They they push judges through, as you're well aware, who 156 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.319 are radical leftists who throw barriers in the front of 157 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.399 the administration trying to address these issues and so forth. 158 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.759 There's a few Democrats who speak up, a very few. 159 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.199 Is this now the Democrat Party? 160 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.480 As I contend well, Mark, you said, there's a few 161 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.680 Democrats that's a little bit higher than. 162 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:21.120 I can count. 163 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.560 The only one I see around the United States Senate, 164 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.120 for instance, is John Fetterman. And John's a Democrat, as 165 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.279 he said, you know, John has a lot of views 166 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.159 that I don't share on economic policy or in social policy. 167 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:33.679 But John's a. 168 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.480 Patriot, and John believes that his party has gone down 169 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.279 a dark path towards anti Israeli sentiment, anti Semitic sentiment, socialism. 170 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.279 I don't see any other Democrats out there like him. 171 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.919 Hi spent twelve years of blood, sweating, tears making sure 172 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.399 that Donald Trump is going to get elected.

We took our walk 222 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.039 which we take often. Sometimes we just walked the beach 223 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.360 up by Rhees Park where we live, and sometimes you 224 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.679 go the opposite direction, and we walked to the gym 225 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.279 which is about thirty one blocks away.

But 270 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.720 I purposely wrapped book ended if you will, the open 271 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.279 put together in extraordinary fashion again by Justin Ellick with 272 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.240 our dear brand the man who will be the next 273 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.879 governor here in New York, Bruce Blateman. I got a 274 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.080 very big week coming up with Bruce Blateman. I can't 275 00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.639 give away all of it yet, but it's a very 276 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.519 very big week. My amazing son, Gabriell continues to work 277 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:08.919 for Bruce. He's now extended his I guess what do 278 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.399 you call that? Interns Day? A lot of the kids 279 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.879 were done August the seventh, and Gabe may take this 280 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.879 thing right up until Labor Day when he starts his 281 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.240 senior year in high school. That's how much he loves 282 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.960 Bruce Blakeman. He loves the Chief, he loves Chris Boyle. 283 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.879 He loves the whole group. Bruce is doing a great job. 284 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.240 So we started the open with Bruce on this show. Listen. 285 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.080 He was on the show eight thirty Friday morning. You 286 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.799 know what makes me laugh at home is the reason 287 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:37.799 why I love doing the mornings is not because I 288 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.799 like getting up at three and I hated but we 289 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.679 get to all the stories first. So I hate to 290 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.559 sound like a dick, but the rest of the day, 291 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.600 no one says anything that's really new and or authentic 292 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.840 because I've already gotten to it. Okay, So the New 293 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:55.960 York Post did a story a couple of days ago 294 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.879 about what Blakeman said about nine to eleven. No, it didn't. 295 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.080 He said it on our show hours before Fox News Digital. 296 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.039 No they didn't. He said it on our show hours 297 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.279 before yesterday. And I love this lady a lover. On Sundays, 298 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.559 Maria bought Romo. He didn't break news on her show. 299 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.360 He said it on our show at eight thirty in 300 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:22.120 the morning, three or four days before. So the truth 301 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.759 is nine times out of ten, unless something breaks the 302 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:29.360 night before, you're gonna get it here. Is that accurate? 303 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.279 That's absolutely true? Right, Unlike the crying, that is true. 304 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.360 The crying is true. I'm telling you it's absolutely true. 305 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:40.519 It is. And by the way, more than once, many many, many, 306 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.559 many times make it worse. 307 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.840 I swear to God many times, many times, like once, 308 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.600 I sort of believe, I tell you many times once. 309 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.440 At at least once at every event, I go to 310 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.559 swear to God on my father, on my dead father. Yeah, 311 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:58.960 I'm gonna take it easy. He sounded like Ben Stiller 312 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.360 and something about Mary is. 313 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:02.120 Crying. 314 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.519 Oh my god? Yeah, why would I make that up? 315 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:07.919 At that? 316 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.320 More sad that you actually have now believed. 317 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.200 Well, not sad is that you guys are calling me 318 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.879 a liar because you don't want to believe the truth. 319 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.480 It's one hundred percent. At least once at every event, 320 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.360 somebody goes to that extreme, to that extreme. 321 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:24.440 People are fans. 322 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.879 No no, it's not fan no, no, no, no, no, no fans. 323 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.960 Is I shake your hand in the street. I listen 324 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.480 every morning, said good job. No, these women get emotional, 325 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.080 driven to tears. 326 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.879 Sometimes has anybody fainted yet? 327 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:41.679 No, that hasn't happened. Stories true story, you guys. Uh. 328 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.159 And by the way, this is what assholes you guys are. 329 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.879 You're part of the show. You're part of the success. 330 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.879 You would think you would revel in all this because 331 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.960 you're part of the reason why they love me, But 332 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.480 you're so jealous and stupid that you just refuse to 333 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.440 accept it. Why would I lie about something like this? 334 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.679 What are you dumb? Because no, no, no, no, no no, 335 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.759 it's one hundred percent you and you guys are a 336 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.799 part of it. So congratulations, you actually emote, You make 337 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.359 these people emote. That type of emotion happened again last 338 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.519 night at least two ladies. They were like, oh, oh 339 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.000 my god. I mean at the Saint Patrick's State parade 340 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.279 and shared Lopez saw this ladies walking down part of 341 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.400 the procession. She starts to run full speed, yelling, oh 342 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.240 my god, oh my god. I've been waiting my whole 343 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.720 life to meet you now making this up right, don't 344 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.880 be stupid, of course I'm not. This happens all the time, 345 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:39.480 and it's surreal from me, and it's kind of silly 346 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.799 to your point, to both of you guys points, it's 347 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.759 even sillier to me. But it happens. And last night, 348 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.119 I'll tell you these people West Hampton, I love that 349 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.920 group because I'm always killing the Hamptons. I'm always saying 350 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.720 it's to wasstentatious. People annoy me. They're too impress with themselves. 351 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:04.680 Not last night, they were good people, crying patriots, good people. 352 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.880 So the first part of the Blakeman deal was him 353 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.160 talking about nine to eleven. I did not know that 354 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:17.480 his nephew, His nephew was Sergeant Tommy Jurgens was killed 355 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.799 on nine to eleven. I never knew that Bruce Blakeman 356 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.079 was actually a family member. So that made me sad. 357 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:32.640 His oldest sister Linda her son. So he's he's very 358 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.400 emotional when it comes to nine to eleven. And he 359 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.160 said on this show first before Fox Digital and the 360 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.920 New York Polist and Maria that what people should do 361 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:47.920 there is be respectful and just turn their backs. And 362 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.720 I brought up the time when all the cops turned 363 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:55.599 their backs onto Blasio and he said, yes, the same thing, 364 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.039 and that's all shocking, you know again, he said, you 365 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.759 know he's running for and you would expect him to say, 366 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:04.440 and this is why he's a great choice for governor 367 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.759 because Hokeel would say, no, he's the mayor. He want 368 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.559 barn Square and every mayor goes he should be there 369 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.880 because She's got no guts, You's got nothing. She's the 370 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.920 wicked witch. But Blakeman speaks from a place of a 371 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.759 real New Yorker, worked at the Port Authority, saw those 372 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:29.200 buildings come down. Speaks from a place of emotion. He's 373 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.359 a guy you gotta love. She's nothing. She's a robot. 374 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.599 Kathy Hokel is a corrupt robot. That's all she is. 375 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:42.839 There's no emotion. She's barely human, barely. But Blakeman, I 376 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.279 love what he said on the show a couple of 377 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.440 days ago. Then on the end of the open he 378 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.920 was a guest of our dear friend zeb Brenner. You 379 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:50.400 like Zev? 380 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.640 No, my love, Zeb, I just talked to Zev Actually 381 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.759 last week did you really have about what? It was accidental? 382 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.599 I was trying to call my brother Zev, and I 383 00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.680 had said, hey, Siri calls Ev and I called Zev 384 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.039 Brenn instead, and I had a nice little conversation with him. 385 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.720 Really. Yeah, he's such a great guy, yees be a 386 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.920 very nice guy, very very nice guy. And he does 387 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.200 this radio show. He comes on very late this time 388 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.680 of year because he always comes on after shops and 389 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.680 the Sabbath ends late this time of year because it's 390 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.880 light out very late. Sundown obviously comes on earlier in 391 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.680 the winter. And he had Bruce Blateman on last week. 392 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.000 And I go back over a year ago. I was 393 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:31.880 at an event in Jamaica, Queens the Young Israel event. 394 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.799 Yakov Searle and Zev was interviewing people there. He interviewed 395 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.680 me over a year ago, and he asked me about 396 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.000 this potential run for mayor, and I put pulled it. 397 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:44.960 I'm like, a come on, Danielle doesn't want that. It's 398 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.839 a major pay cut and she doesn't want all the 399 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.799 nonsense that goes with wanning for office. And you know, 400 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.480 I'm kind of waiting for Trump. Yes, Larry Trump said 401 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.599 she loves it. Bruce Plateman keeps talking about it, Mike 402 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.200 Waller loves it. A lot of folks with a lot 403 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.960 of political power actually love it. But I've never really 404 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.519 taken it seriously. You know. Michael Rappaport, I think he's 405 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.960 taking it more seriously. Even this Dave Portnoy. Almost everything 406 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.319 he talks about now is running for mayor. You've got 407 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:17.440 John Shell, former Cheap of Department, He's running for mayor. 408 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.000 It's like a thousand people most people still think the 409 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.640 current police Commissioner, Jessica Tish Sh'll run for mayor something, 410 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.119 despite her saying no, that the current Speaker of the 411 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.599 City Council, Julie Menin, may run for mayor. But it 412 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.680 seems like I'm the guy they always talk about and 413 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.640 write about, and I keep saying I don't see it happening, 414 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.880 but Bruce Blakeman keeps bringing it up. And when not if, 415 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.559 when Bruce Blakman wins in November and he becomes governor, 416 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:51.440 that may require a long discussion between me and daniell know, 417 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.480 because he really wants me to run. If he wins, 418 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:58.839 that would be quite a combination Blakeman and Rosenberg running 419 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.000 New York State, New York City. I think people would 420 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.079 like that. That'd be crazy. 421 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.680 Can you imagine how many women would be crying and 422 00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:06.240 fainting them? 423 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.400 Oh, he's also a very handsome guy, Bruce Blateman. And 424 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:11.799 you may not know this was a boxer. 425 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.759 Did you know that I did. 426 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:19.519 Big time boxer? You could fight? Oh my god. You know, 427 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.839 it's funny to say that. There was a woman last 428 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.440 night who didn't thank me for running, but basically did 429 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:28.000 that and asked me to run. Please, can you please run? 430 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.319 She goes, I got a lot of money. She's in 431 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.440 the happens. I know a lot of people with a 432 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.319 lot of money. I can get you money. To Margot sweet, 433 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:38.359 I'll take it easy. Give me a couple of months. Anybody, 434 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.119 and now I'm gonna run. I'll let you know. I 435 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.799 have no idea who she is. Out of contact her, 436 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.200 but she was that emotional last night when she said, 437 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.359 please run for mayor. That's exactly you must have been 438 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:55.279 there with me, Lewis I must have been This is uh. 439 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:58.559 Bruce Blateman with zeb Brenner was in the open well 440 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:02.000 play it again, cutting off number one. He says Sid 441 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.200 would make a great mayor. 442 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:05.680 Will the President of the United States stump for you? 443 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.359 Donald Trump will come out and for a rally for you. 444 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:14.519 Um, it's not public yet, but I think we'll be 445 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:17.200 seeing Donald Trump in New York very soon. 446 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.720 It'll be nice. And who's going to be the ringmaster? 447 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.039 Sid sid Rosenberg? Is he gonna have Is he going 448 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.400 to have a position in government? If you get elected? 449 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.920 Sid said, he might be running for mayor. I mean, 450 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:33.480 make a good mayor. What do you think, Zev? 451 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:35.799 I think such I asked him that question. The problem 452 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:37.559 is his wife won't let him. So I asked him 453 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.200 the question. If the President of the United States calls 454 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.920 you up and says, Sid, I need you to run 455 00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.400 for may while you run tough one, he'll be the mayor. 456 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.119 He will be the president or his wife and he 457 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.880 was he hesitated for a moment or two. 458 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.359 Well, I'm sure Danielle doesn't want him to take the 459 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.200 pay cut. But listen, Sid is a great guy. You know, 460 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.880 he's a dear friend of mine, and he's a patriot 461 00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:58.880 and a proud you. 462 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.279 So we're going to bring on later on today. Thank 463 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.480 you for that, Brus. Getting back to the start of 464 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.039 the open, we talked about Blakeman saying that the nine 465 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.720 to eleven family should turn their backs on this scumbag, 466 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.319 radical Islam piece of garbage mayor, which he is all 467 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.440 those things. So today we're going to bring back Giovanni 468 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.880 Galante and he's the gentleman that started the nine to 469 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.480 eleven petition. His wife, Grace was murdered back on nine 470 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.079 to eleven. She was only twenty nine years old. He'll 471 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.279 be back today and he's not coming alone. Another nine 472 00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.160 eleven family victim. Man by the name of Michael Wolfe. 473 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.799 His wife, Catherine, was also killed that day. I know 474 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:52.079 that Giovanni's wife worked at Cana Fitzgerald. I'm I'm pretty 475 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.160 sure that that is the case, and he did send 476 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.799 me the information where Catherine worked. She worked at Marsh 477 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.759 and McLennan. So we're gonna have two husbands who both 478 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:09.279 lost their wives on together at eight thirty this morning, 479 00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:14.279 Giovanni Gallante and Michael Wolfe, and both don't want Mayor 480 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:21.880 Mom Donnie anywhere near that sacred site, despite what Elizabeth 481 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.640 Miller had to say last Thursday. And I'm gonna play 482 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.519 this for those guys, because I believe only one heard this. 483 00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.480 But if you missed it back and forth between me 484 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.359 and Liz, which we did do Thursday, we played on Friday. 485 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.200 Her father by a fighter, Doug Miller, was killed on 486 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:45.119 nine to eleven, murdered, and she's okay with the mayor 487 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.480 being there, even though the mayor is good buddies with 488 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.279 people who, as I said to Liz Miller, said your 489 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:55.039 father deserved to die. He deserved to die, America deserved 490 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.160 nine to eleven. That seemed to I guess, go over 491 00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:01.039 her head. But if you missed it on Thursday and body. 492 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:04.640 Here's a short synopsis of me and Elizabeth Miller as 493 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.200 she tries to make the argument, despite her father being murdered, 494 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.920 that the mayor should be there. Lewis cut number three. 495 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.759 So I've been on this crusade ever since Monday, July 496 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:16.880 the sixth. I promised you guys, I would be and 497 00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:19.759 I have been at the wishing our country a happy 498 00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.599 two fifty. On Saturday, July the fourth, the mayor tried 499 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.599 to do that. It was the darkest most anti American speech. 500 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.519 I've ever seen, no shock, but I promise you I 501 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.960 would divert my attention focus on nine to eleven. I've 502 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.519 done that, and I want to keep this mayor away 503 00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:37.920 and the overwhelming majority of people I speak to in 504 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.759 this city, and I'm very famous. I speak to a 505 00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.720 lot of people. They agree nine to eleven families and 506 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:47.200 just every person walking in the street, but not every 507 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:51.160 single person does. So I was surprised to hear on 508 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.519 the news a couple of days ago this young lady, 509 00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:58.599 Elizabeth Miller, God bless her, her father, God rest his soul, 510 00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.839 was killed on nine eleven a firefighter. I don't know, 511 00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.000 mister Miller. But I can tell you this, I love him. 512 00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:07.480 New York loves something, America loves him. So I was 513 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.599 surprised to hear that she's okay with the mayor being 514 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.400 in attendance, even though the mayor hangs out with people 515 00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:18.559 Hassan Piker, Chevalier, clerics who were co conspirators and the 516 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:20.960 bombing of the Royal Trade Center in nineteen ninety three, 517 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.839 hangs out with them, says nice things about them. This 518 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.400 is not just your everyday politician you disagree with. This 519 00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:31.240 guy is friendly with, says nice things about people who 520 00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:36.279 said America deserved nine to eleven. I'm sorry he shouldn't 521 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:39.559 be there. But Liz Miller, who's closer to the situation, 522 00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.920 she lost her relative, by lost friends, she says, it's okay, 523 00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.799 let's talk to her. Elizabeth, good morning, How. 524 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:47.039 Are you good morning? 525 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:47.440 How are you? 526 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:49.440 Thank you for you know, taking the time to talk 527 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:49.680 to me. 528 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:51.680 No, no, of course, you made the point that you 529 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.640 don't want the focus to be on anybody but the 530 00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:58.000 families and the victims, And boy do I agree, but 531 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.759 you but you know you realize, Elizabeth, when that punk 532 00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:04.440 shows up that day, he's gonna get all all the attention, 533 00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:09.440 every camera shot. Family members will turn their backs, politicians 534 00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.319 will shine him. All they're gonna talk about that day. 535 00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.279 If this guy shows up is him. If he's not there, 536 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.200 guess what. At the beginning of the telecast and maybe 537 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.799 the beginning of your ceremony, they'll go no, Mayor, that'll 538 00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:24.079 be it. If he's there, he's gonna demand all the attention. 539 00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.559 Why would you want that? 540 00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:27.519 I think people are a lot of talk. 541 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:30.039 I think people ask like like, and I'm not saying 542 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.440 nihilon's families. I'm saying like politicians so like, you're gonna 543 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.920 have him come? And I think think about this when 544 00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:40.559 President Trump had individuals like when signed you know, the petition, 545 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.359 that he didn't want it. 546 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:42.240 They didn't want him there. 547 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:45.160 And again it wasn't of course as large, but he 548 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.400 still came and the day wasn't about him. 549 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.039 And listen, I'm a firm believer. 550 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:54.079 Regardless of who you are as an elected official, I'm grateful. 551 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:55.920 That you want to take the opportunity. 552 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:56.880 To sit there and honor our loved ones. 553 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.079 Whether I like you, whether I don't, whether I agree 554 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:00.839 with all of your policy I don't. 555 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:02.680 I think the other thing. 556 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.640 You think that you think you're a very smart girl. 557 00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:08.319 You are. I'm not just I'm not patronizing you people 558 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:09.039 yell at. 559 00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:09.960 I don't feel like you are. 560 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.559 I'm not okay, But do you think that the mayor 561 00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:15.960 is honoring your loved ones? He couldn't care less at 562 00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.720 your father is dead, and I know that sounds really rough. 563 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.279 He couldn't care less. He's showing up because he's still 564 00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.079 trying to snow people that he actually cares about this country, 565 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.759 which he doesn't. He's not there to honor your father. 566 00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.319 He couldn't care less. He would much rather honor Mohammed Atta, 567 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.079 who flew the damp plane into the building. Ouch. So 568 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:40.160 the comedic actor John Stewart, Well, I think is on 569 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.920 once a week he's got the Howard Stern schedule. I 570 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.119 got to kick out of the Howard Stern News this 571 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.160 weekend that he actually I guess there was some type 572 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.319 of rule that his stamp knew that they couldn't talk 573 00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.759 to him. They go to parties, don't And I missed 574 00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:56.359 did the same thing, just so you know that wup 575 00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.359 end you couldn't even look at the eye man. You 576 00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:01.400 weren't allowed. He would walk in the newsroom and literally 577 00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:05.599 person by person, from the traffic people to the newspeople 578 00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:09.599 to the sports update people. They would look down. So Starn, 579 00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.039 I guess, was the same maniac the Iman was. But 580 00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.400 it works one day a week now, how it's turned, 581 00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:18.400 and I think Stewart does too, right, know home just 582 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.880 Monday night, right, that's right? Yeah, So I don't know 583 00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:25.079 John Stewart. I've talked a little bit about John Stewart 584 00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:28.240 over the years, and believe it or not, even though 585 00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:32.400 he's a disgusting liberal and not nearly as smart as 586 00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.319 he thinks he is, and certainly not nearly as funny 587 00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.480 as he thinks he is, I think I've actually spent 588 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:39.839 more time over the last couple of years giving John 589 00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:44.279 Stewart more credit than killing him, because talking about nine 590 00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:49.079 to eleven, John Stewart did help Peter King and others 591 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:55.079 in making sure that the victims' families get compensated for 592 00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.839 a very very long time. The victims families members that 593 00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.839 are still dying. Remember nine to eleven was not a 594 00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:05.519 one day event. Twenty five years later, people are still 595 00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:09.359 getting sick and dying, and to his credit, unfunny John Stewart, 596 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.440 he helped with that. So I always give him credit 597 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.279 for that, but he's still a dick, and he came 598 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.079 after me really hard out of nowhere after I made 599 00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.160 that appearance Super Bowl Sunday that night with Brian Kilmead 600 00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.759 on his show with Klay Travis, and I savaged the 601 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:32.079 NFL for hiring Bad Bunny because in my opinion, he 602 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:37.480 wasn't all that good. Not a great singer by any stretch. Okay, dancer, 603 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.079 really stupid set. He made Puerto Rico look like a 604 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.359 slum basically. And my big problem was he did a 605 00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:48.279 whole Super Bowl halftime show, the biggest American event in 606 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.440 the world, in Spanish. That's not okay. I don't care 607 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:54.400 how many people speak Spanish in Miami. I don't care. 608 00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:59.000 We are on English speaking country, the United States of America, Okay. 609 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.119 I wouldn't want Yahoo to do the show next year 610 00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:07.359 in Hebrew. So I'm very consistent. So Stuart was pissed 611 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.039 that I said he should have done in English. So 612 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:13.240 the next night, Monday Night, on his show, he took games, 613 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.960 specifically at me John Stewart. They didn't talk about the 614 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.839 fact that the show should have been in English. Instead, 615 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.559 he spent a good five minutes making fun of my 616 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.599 ten called me thanos, which I see on Twitter every 617 00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:31.160 day now, the Jewish thanos. That's all people do, Purple said. 618 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.640 Purple said, they don't even bother trying to argue any 619 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:36.559 of my points anymore. They just make fun of my 620 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:41.319 ten the most unattractive, ugliest people you'll ever see, okay, 621 00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:43.519 and they make fun of my tan all day. That's 622 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:48.559 all they do. So Stuart interviewed John Fetterman last week 623 00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.759 and tried to sell John Fetterman, and you heard Tom 624 00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.960 Conton with Mark Levin say exactly what I say. I 625 00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.039 say it all the time, and John will join me today. 626 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:02.480 I love John Katzman when he brings up common sense democrats. 627 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.319 That's a unicorn. They don't exist. What do I say 628 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:07.720 every time there's one? Do not say that? Known there's 629 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.200 one one? One? John Bettaman, Do I not? Haven't I 630 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.759 been saying that for a year, long time, long time. 631 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.759 So it's nice to see Tom Cotton tell mankleb In 632 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:18.559 the same thing which I've been saying for a year. 633 00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:22.319 It's amazing how many times every week on these shows 634 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:26.200 these people vomit exactly what I say all the time. 635 00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:30.440 This one fetament Cotton's right. So Fetterman's on with Stewart 636 00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:35.000 and Stuart's going on and on about genocide and how 637 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.880 bbi's a terrible person, and Fetterment, to his credit, keeps 638 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.240 fighting back, keeps fighting back. So it compelled me to 639 00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:46.079 send an email to John Stewart because I was email address, 640 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:52.000 and the title of the email goes, It's not genocide, 641 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.799 you dumb F word. But I spelled out the F word, 642 00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:58.880 you know, And then in the actual email, I went 643 00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:02.720 on to say, I've never heard anyone sound less informed 644 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:07.400 than you watching your conversation with Betterman. Please shut the 645 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:14.400 f up, you dumb democrat. Do you mind dehumanizing? Shut 646 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:16.559 the f up? And would you No? 647 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:16.840 No? 648 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:19.920 I sent out at five point thirty nine am on 649 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:25.280 Friday morning that at ten forty four am Friday morning, 650 00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.639 I received an email back, No way I did. 651 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.639 I thought for sure he would not respond to that. 652 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.320 You can go to my Instagram account at Rosenberg dot Sydney. 653 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:38.079 It's not at sid Rosenberg, folks at Rosenberg dot Sydney, 654 00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:42.000 or my Facebook account sid Rosenberg or my Twitter account 655 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:46.320 sid Rosenberg nineteen not at sid Rosenberg. And I've got 656 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:50.239 it all right there my original email to Stuart and 657 00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.719 his reply it's all right there, and he responded in 658 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.400 John Stewart fashion by saying this, thanks for setting me straight, 659 00:34:59.000 --> 00:34:59.679 very helpful. 660 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:02.000 That's funny. 661 00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:04.960 I called him dumb. I used to upward three times 662 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:09.800 and he said, thanks for setting me straight, very helpful, 663 00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.199 your friend. You love John Stewart. 664 00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:14.039 No, I don't know if I love John Stewart, but 665 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:15.039 I think he's pretty funny. 666 00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:18.039 He has his moments. I don't think he's pretty funny. 667 00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.079 He has his moments. I guess. I don't know. I 668 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.280 don't find anybody funny anymore. I gotta be honest, you know, 669 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:28.280 since Rodney Dangerfield and Richard Pryor and all those guys 670 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:31.320 died like I barely lan, I really do enjoy sebast 671 00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.960 Man of Scalco. I'm not gonna lie like you too, now. Yeah, 672 00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:34.679 I like him. 673 00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.280 I've watched a lot of clips recently and he's good. 674 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.480 He's funny, funny, really funny. He does tell me too. 675 00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.360 But for the most part, I watch these comedians and 676 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.519 I don't get it. I don't know what do I know? 677 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:48.000 Well, it's a dying art. 678 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:49.840 I think it is a dying art, right, think. 679 00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:52.199 About it, because you don't see them on get up 680 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.760 and do it on a talk show and they just. 681 00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:56.760 Dangerfield. 682 00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.639 No, come on, come on now, Lenny, Bruce Richard. I 683 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:03.800 mean those guys, it was just a completely different era. 684 00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.639 They were great, you know, there was and of course 685 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.639 maybe the greatest of all, George Colin, because but they 686 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:13.679 said what they wanted to say, like I do, and 687 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:17.519 people are all okay with it. Not this over sensitive 688 00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:20.400 society we live in today, which is really not that 689 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:22.960 people say to me all the time, Sid, how do 690 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:24.679 you say that stuff and keep a job? I go, 691 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:28.159 what do you mean? What do you mean? There's millions 692 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.679 and millions and millions of people that agree with me, 693 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:35.880 and even the sometimes very rough way I say it, 694 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:40.000 I'm not alone on an island. I'm not. In fact, 695 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.599 I think I represent the majority. The problem is the 696 00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.679 minority is too loud, and they own the media. So 697 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.800 everybody thinks the whole world thinks like MS NOW or 698 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:55.559 CNN or some of these repugnant radio shows, and they don't. 699 00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.840 They don't. I give Americans more credit than that I do. 700 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:03.280 There's the reason why President Trump got over seventy million votes. 701 00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:06.519 There's a reason why this show in a Blue City 702 00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:10.760 and a blue state got a seven point four on Friday, 703 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:15.079 beat Curtis by six points in the demo, six points. 704 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:18.360 He should retire today, and that move at nine o'clock 705 00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:20.800 with a new guy, he's gonna take the same drubbing 706 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.039 a seven point four to a one point four. If 707 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.000 I'm Curtis, I never go to work again. There's a 708 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:31.239 reason why that's the case, because people do agree, and 709 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:34.239 people are not as scared as they were three, four 710 00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:36.480 or five years ago, or certainly when you had a 711 00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:40.480 Democrat in the White House Joe Biden. So no, I'm 712 00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:43.480 not afraid to say how I feel. I'm not afraid 713 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.480 to disagree with John Stewart with the curse on Twitter, 714 00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.079 or to tell you how I feel here, because I 715 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:51.920 really believe, I really do, in my heart of hearts, 716 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:56.239 that the majority of Americans are smart, patriotic and good 717 00:37:56.280 --> 00:38:00.880 people and agree with me. Many morons out there any more, runs, 718 00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:03.480 I get it, but I don't believe that the majority. 719 00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:06.239 All Right, what else is happening on? What I miss 720 00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:06.920 from this weekend? 721 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:08.079 You know? 722 00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:10.559 Unfortunately some of it just really tragic. 723 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:12.320 I don't know if you saw that, Oh yeah, I 724 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.920 know where you're going. I'm gonna take a guest. 725 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:14.400 Just go ahead. 726 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:16.559 The mother and daughter who died in the boat. 727 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.239 This is just a terrible story on so many levels. 728 00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.679 So they were on this mom and daughter, the infant 729 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:26.639 and the mother twenty seven years old birthday. Yeah, they 730 00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:30.239 were out on a birthday celebration. Her boyfriend. The woman's 731 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.119 name who passed away Sarah Sanchez. Her boyfriend said, I 732 00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.079 wanted to get my girlfriend out of the house for 733 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:38.559 an evening on the town celebrate the fact that they 734 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.360 have a new little girl. So they brought the little 735 00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.639 girl along and about ten thirty on Saturday night, for 736 00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:45.880 some reason, this motor boat they think it's just likely 737 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:49.360 because it was overcrowded, flipped over in New York harboard 738 00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.519 and both the mom and the infant daughter died. 739 00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.880 Well, those the only two people who perish. 740 00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:54.920 That is. 741 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.440 Yeah, they were able to grab twelve others. 742 00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.159 Twelve others, And I did read this morning that the 743 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:01.519 is in big trouble. Yeah. 744 00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:06.039 So this captain Manuel Hernandez arrested charge with a whole 745 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:09.480 bunch accounts of reckless endangerment and the Coastguard looking into 746 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.559 whether this boat may have been operating as an illegal charter, 747 00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:14.960 and just some people who are experts on boats know 748 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.400 a lot more about this than I do. Just looking 749 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.719 at this motor boat. Said the issue was he probably 750 00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:21.119 just had way too many people on it. 751 00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:27.679 Boy, that's a terrible story. Yeah, terrible. What else you got, Let's. 752 00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:29.719 See, I'm trying to find something that's not terribly sad. 753 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:31.679 No what it is? 754 00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:34.480 Well, No, this one's actually has a better ending. This 755 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.840 five year old falling out of a fifth floor window 756 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:41.239 of his Bronx apartment last night. He falls face first 757 00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:43.559 onto the ground. There's the neighbors out there that it's 758 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.280 a nice night, it's about five thirty a night, and 759 00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:48.840 they hear this loud thought. They find this kid face 760 00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:51.440 first on the ground, rushing to the hospital. Now they 761 00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:52.960 say he's going to be okay. And what they think 762 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:56.159 happened was they had the window guards on the apartment 763 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.079 that he somehow squeezed through this window guards right before 764 00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:00.880 he fell. But the good part of that story is 765 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:03.320 he's gonna be okay. And if you saw this over 766 00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:09.800 the weekend yesterday, Queen's Congressman Alexandria Ocassio Cortes was on 767 00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:11.880 one of the New shows I think it was ABC 768 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:16.719 this week, and she says, yeah, she's really considering running 769 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:19.559 for the White House in twenty twenty eight. She says, 770 00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:22.880 either that or she'll run for Senator Schumer's seat here 771 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.679 in New York, but either way she likely won't be 772 00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:27.280 in Congress after twenty twenty eight. 773 00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:30.280 Now, I think she will elect to run for Senate 774 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:33.719 because that'll be an easier path to victory. I really 775 00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:36.320 believe that. So I think she'll run for that and 776 00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:39.719 probably win. Even if my dear friend Liz Pipco runs, 777 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.320 which I want her to. Some other names out there 778 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.559 that may maybe eno Werner, Korf, they're not beating her. 779 00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.280 Bottom line is they're not beating her. So that's an 780 00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:49.960 easier pant of victory for AOC. And she's still so 781 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.360 young that she can run for president in four years 782 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:56.360 or eight years, all right, but she's gonna definitely gonna 783 00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:59.519 look to get out of Congress and do something bigger. 784 00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.559 She's a moron. I'm not just saying that because she 785 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:05.400 was a bartender. I don't care. Bruce Willis was a bartender. 786 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.079 He's a small guy. Not because she was a bartender 787 00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:11.519 or because you know, she she wears tight pants and 788 00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:16.760 flaunts the physical side that men tend to like. This 789 00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:19.440 listens to this woman speak. I mean in Germany last year, 790 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.079 that was about three minutes of the most embarrassing talk 791 00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:26.639 I've ever heard. She got nothing right, nothing right, including 792 00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:30.159 whether the equator is so I don't know, I mean 793 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:32.920 not not more the equators, the country, whether it's north 794 00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:35.800 or south of the equator. So. I look, she's gonna 795 00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:39.559 run eventually, and when she does run, she's going to 796 00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:42.400 be a force to be reckoned with. I'm telling you 797 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:45.679 she really is, don't you think? No, yeah, oh yeah, yeah. 798 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:48.679 Look, I mean she's I think, can you name somebody 799 00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:51.760 more famous in Congress than her? I think she's the 800 00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.159 most famous person in Congress. 801 00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:58.000 Well, I mean Elon ome was. I think she's probably is. 802 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:03.320 Probably can't now that you said that. How about the Senate. 803 00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:05.519 I'm gonna bring Ron Johnson on today out of the 804 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:09.679 great state of Wisconsin. They went on recess yesterday. I mean, 805 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:13.239 they got like nothing done either. They pushed through all 806 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.639 of Trump's seventy five of Trump's people, including Todd Blanche 807 00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:21.440 but no Save America Act. Nope, that's not done. It's 808 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:25.920 like three or four major major issues that they did 809 00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:29.840 not solve. You know, they're off until September the fourteenth. 810 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.159 September the fourteenth threw up for like five weeks. Yeah, 811 00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:38.599 me too. Reconciliation not done. So we'll talk to Ron 812 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:42.119 Johnson about that coming up later on this morning. We'll 813 00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:45.079 also talk to Scott Lobato. That's why you had that 814 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.599 news in the open. Scott went home on Friday. He 815 00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:51.400 had a bad day on Friday, but they still sent 816 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:55.079 him home and we texted each other on Saturday and Sunday. 817 00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:58.880 So we'll get the latest from Scott, find out exactly 818 00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:03.280 what happened last Tuesday night when one moment he was 819 00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:07.239 yelling and screaming at Mamdani at a Raleigh and not 820 00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:11.559 long after that was laying motionless and dead, clinically dead 821 00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:15.719 for two minutes, flatlined on the ground on Staten Island. 822 00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:18.960 So we'll talk to Lobato, very emotional eight o'clock hour, 823 00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:22.840 coming away with two different husbands whose wives were killed 824 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:26.360 on nine to eleven, murdered, and then Scott Lobato. All 825 00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:29.360 that coming up in the eight o'clock hour. Anything else, No, 826 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:29.960 we've done. 827 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.039 I mean, if you want to talk about Iran, you 828 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.199 know when we left on Friday, the President said that 829 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.000 he thought they were close to making a deal with Iran, 830 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.800 and then that just blew up over the weekend and 831 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.719 Ran said they're not even close. That there's so many 832 00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:45.039 things they need to make a deal, including these demands 833 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:48.119 that they want to be paid out compensated for all 834 00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:51.599 the damage done in Iran and for violations of that 835 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.800 memorandum of understanding that was signed so long ago. So 836 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:57.719 it looks like we're nowhere closer than we were on Friday. 837 00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.480 Yeah. Too, We're nowhere closer than we ever. I'm so 838 00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:02.800 tired of saying this over and over again. It's never 839 00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.719 gonna happen. They will never ever ever do a deal. 840 00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.039 And if they do, one day at a complete desperation 841 00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.360 and they're not even close to being there yet. Sorry 842 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.840 jd Vance, they won't comply. But how about the bulls 843 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.760 on these guys? Now, now you're gonna pay us? I mean, 844 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.039 you gotta love these guys. I am actually set to 845 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.719 see Steve Whitcough on Friday night.

But they 938 00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:42.280 were there too, and it was just it was a 939 00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:44.480 great event. They raised a whole bunch of money because 940 00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:47.840 these soldiers, the idea f in Israel they need boots. 941 00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:52.880 I know it sounds crazy, but they need boots to fight, 942 00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:58.840 and it's become a big commodity. And this event was willing, terrific. 943 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.039 I was happy to be there, so I'll mention it 944 00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:02.920 one more time before the end of today's show. But 945 00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:07.159 Boots for Israel dot com Israel, you can help out 946 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:13.440 these brave idea of soldiers. Today, I was checking the 947 00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:15.920 list of people who donated. I did not see Tucker 948 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:22.119 Carlson's name. Shocking. You're surprised about that name. I'm not Yeah, 949 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:23.599 he's not donating to Boots of Israel. 950 00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:26.119 So Candice Owens, no, no, she's not on the listener. 951 00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:29.000 You know, I got it. I gotta rethink. I got 952 00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:32.440 not rethink. And I made this speech last night, and 953 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:37.000 you know, the crowd enjoyed it. And I talked about 954 00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:41.840 Jadevnce and I have been very down on JD and 955 00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:44.519 I don't love him. You know, I've been on record 956 00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:48.760 for a year last August. Believe this, Lou and no 957 00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:52.239 remember Marco Rubio was on this show. It was a 958 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:55.559 year ago last August. But I've told this a million 959 00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.280 times that when Marco ran for State Senate down in Florida, 960 00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:04.199 all the way back in twenty ten, his guy Alex Burgos, 961 00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:08.840 who's long gone, not dead, but long gone removed from Marco, 962 00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:11.960 contacted me on sports talk radio. He said, you know, 963 00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:16.079 Marco's a big sports fan. Marco's wife was a Miami 964 00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:19.400 Dupin cheerleader, and I told you guys that. And he 965 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:23.199 loves the Miami teams, the heat, the Dolphins. He's a 966 00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:26.440 real fan. And he listened to me every morning in Miami, 967 00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:30.559 and Burgo said, listen, he's running percent it. He's a 968 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:33.960 huge fan of yours. Maybe you'll bring him on. So 969 00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:37.360 it turned out there was a three man debate. Charlie 970 00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:40.599 crist at the time was the governor of Florida now 971 00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:43.760 with Ron DeSantis he was the governor, and another guy 972 00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.320 named Kendrick Meek no relation to Gregory Meeks and Queens 973 00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:51.000 and the three of them had this huge debate. And 974 00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:55.480 where did they debate? On My sports talk show at 975 00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:59.199 Frank's Ocean Mile on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, and 976 00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:03.960 Marco won. And to this day, fifteen years later, marcle 977 00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:06.960 just like Bruce Blakeman, is cook to give me credit 978 00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:11.559 for starting his political career. I love marcol Rubil. He 979 00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:14.960 is ready for this job. He is so ready for 980 00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:18.000 this job. But as we found out last week, even 981 00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:20.880 though Trump denied it, the next day, Trump is telling 982 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:24.599 donors and everybody else JD's in line. I believe that's true. 983 00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:28.119 I believe that Trump has sent that message out. And 984 00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:31.599 I've told you this this audience for months that I 985 00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:34.679 think JD. Vance is the anointed one. So he's not 986 00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:38.199 my favorite, and to be honest, I'm not even sure 987 00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:40.400 I like him. I have tried to get him on 988 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:43.360 the show. I am trying to build a relationship because, 989 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.920 as I said in West Hampton yesterday, given the choice 990 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:51.400 between JD. Vance and any Democrat except for maybe Fetterman, Okay, 991 00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:55.639 any Democrat, I'm gonna vote for JD. Vance. And I've 992 00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:58.559 got major issues with JD. And I think we need 993 00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.440 to fix them because Trump will be the first to 994 00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:05.079 tell you you're not going to win the presidency by having 995 00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:07.880 success in the state. You're not even gonna win the state. 996 00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:12.679 But it matters, especially come media time before a big election. 997 00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:17.639 Coming on sid Rosenberg's show matters and JD's never come on. 998 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.440 And I've reached out to people in the White House, 999 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.679 some very big people, and one person came back and 1000 00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:27.039 told me I told you this little and no, and 1001 00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:29.599 you justin a couple of weeks ago. Quote JD doesn't 1002 00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:32.280 want to do radio, oh really, but he sat with 1003 00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:36.119 Joe Rogan for three hours, but he doesn't do radio. 1004 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:39.719 So I'm trying to fix this, even though I'm not 1005 00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:42.559 even through a JD Vans knows it's broken. One person 1006 00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:44.400 said to me that the reason why JD won't come 1007 00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:48.599 on is because he knows that President Trump has like 1008 00:53:48.719 --> 00:53:52.960 six or seven of his favorite people and he doesn't 1009 00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:54.559 want to mess with that. You believe that. 1010 00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:55.960 No him, that sounds accurate. 1011 00:53:56.119 --> 00:53:58.480 Yeah, he's like, no, it's it's a Trump guy and 1012 00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:04.000 they'll probably see President Trump this week, so it doesn't 1013 00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.440 mess with that. Look, I don't know what the real 1014 00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:07.960 reason is. All I know is if he's going to 1015 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:12.000 be my party's candidate, we need to establish some type 1016 00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:15.079 of relationship and you need to come on this show. 1017 00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.679 That's the bottom line. No matter what I've said about him, 1018 00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:20.639 he probably has no idea what I've said about him. 1019 00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:23.199 And if he does, and he's not happy, so what 1020 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:27.119 we can fix it right now? Yeah, there's lots of time, 1021 00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:30.880 lots of time we need to make sure a Republican wins. 1022 00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.920 So again, Marco Rubio has been my first choice for 1023 00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:38.239 a long time. But if he's going to just step aside, 1024 00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:40.639 and that may work out, because you know, you just 1025 00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.239 had four years of Trump. Maybe get eight years of Vance, 1026 00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:46.440 then eight years of Marco. Now you got a twenty 1027 00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:49.280 year Republican run. I'd signed for that today. When you 1028 00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:53.320 twenty years of Republicans, President Trump to JD. Vance to 1029 00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:58.239 Marco Rubio, if that's what they're thinking. JD's already right there, 1030 00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:01.199 he's in the passenger seat. Vice presid said, let him 1031 00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:05.360 do this and then Rubio runs and wins. That's great. 1032 00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.800 If you can guarantee me twenty years of Trump, Vance 1033 00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:13.079 and Rubio. I would sign up with that today. But 1034 00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:14.840 I'm not sure we can guarantee that now, can we know? 1035 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:15.559 No? 1036 00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:20.400 No, because Nome is gonna vote for Gavin Newsom AOC. Actually, 1037 00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:22.119 but she doesn't run. 1038 00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:23.480 I think she's gonna run. 1039 00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:24.559 You'll write her in. 1040 00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:26.280 How do you know? You think she's gonna run? What 1041 00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:27.519 kind of who do you have? 1042 00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:29.639 In the But you're not throwing water on it. When 1043 00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:32.519 they keep asking her, she says, yeah, maybe she does. 1044 00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:37.239 She just said yesterday they asked her, Yeah, but she said, yeah, 1045 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:38.760 I haven't rolled it out, That's what she said. 1046 00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:41.719 Yeah, I guess she hasn't. You're right now, listen, we 1047 00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:44.480 still got three plus years, right, Yeah, we got to 1048 00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:49.599 worry about these midterms. First in November and no, no, no. 1049 00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:51.360 One day I feel good about it, the next day, 1050 00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:56.000 I don't done. I guess we'll see, right, what am 1051 00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:57.000 I gonna do? 1052 00:55:57.000 --> 00:55:57.519 Don't cry? 1053 00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:01.000 Oh, I'll cry if we lose them at I will cry, 1054 00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:05.119 then you would, and even every bit as bad as 1055 00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:07.679 losing the midterms, I will cry. I will also cry 1056 00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:10.639 at Bruce loses a because he's my brother and I 1057 00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:12.880 love him personally and we've had a great run together. 1058 00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:16.960 And b because the state will be finished. The city's 1059 00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.039 already done. I don't care how many people show up 1060 00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:22.760 at local bars and I see it. I'm in the 1061 00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:25.320 city every now and then on a weeknight, it's hustle. 1062 00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:28.440 It's bustle. People are laughing, having a great time. I mean, 1063 00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:32.719 I stayed in the city Friday night because Danielle had 1064 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:35.360 a practice run. She's running the marathon, the New York 1065 00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:39.440 City Marathon, for the sixth time, her forty first marathon overall, 1066 00:56:40.199 --> 00:56:44.079 so now it becomes serious training time about ninety days out. 1067 00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.440 So she had to do a seventeen mile run on Saturday, 1068 00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:50.920 and she joined this group in the city. They run 1069 00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:53.079 Central Park. I guess I don't know where they run. 1070 00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:55.760 I don't care. So we stayed in the city on 1071 00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:58.119 Friday night at my old hotel where they put me 1072 00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.880 when my house had water damage on thirty third in 1073 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:04.480 part at uh Hilton, right by Wolfgangs. And the next 1074 00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:06.719 day she left her at least six am to go running. 1075 00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:09.079 I had to get an emergency root canal. My teeth 1076 00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.639 haven't stopped bothering me for the better part of three months. 1077 00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:15.039 Two teeth pulled, deep cleaning and now an emergency root 1078 00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:17.760 canal on Saturday, and then I was free for like 1079 00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:20.920 three hours. I didn't know they did this. They actually 1080 00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:26.239 shut down these major city streets on the weekends, so 1081 00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:30.440 Park Avenue is shut down and all you see is 1082 00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.000 a steady flow, and I mean for hours hours, all 1083 00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:37.280 you see is a steady flow of people running in 1084 00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:42.159 the street. It's unreal. Yeah, we couldn't even We had 1085 00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:44.639 to go from the East Side to the West Side 1086 00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:47.840 Highway to get home because a lot of the east 1087 00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:52.719 Side avenues and streets were closed. So these people can 1088 00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:56.280 run in the streets. It's very nice, but it's a 1089 00:57:56.320 --> 00:58:00.159 waste of money. Every single block has a cop are. 1090 00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:04.599 I don't understand. People are getting still raped. Rape is 1091 00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:06.960 up big time in this city. People are still getting 1092 00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:09.840 punched across the face. I know, shootings and murders are down, 1093 00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:13.199 but that's it. Every other major crime is up, every 1094 00:58:13.199 --> 00:58:16.880 other major crime, and we're spending money to have cops 1095 00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:21.400 sit in their cop car every weekend so these idiots 1096 00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.800 can run down Park Avenue. My wife actually did run down, 1097 00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:27.119 so I probably shouldn't say idiots. Well, she should be 1098 00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:29.960 glad to run someplace else. But how do you explain that? 1099 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:32.079 Why don't they just close the street and leave, let 1100 00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:35.000 the cops go, I don't know, have to sit there. 1101 00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:37.719 I don't know. It's a good question. That they're on 1102 00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:43.000 every street, corner, every street a waste, kind. 1103 00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:46.239 Of a waste, okay, a big waste. 1104 00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:49.320 But mom, diney all, we love our summers in New York. 1105 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:51.119 Everybody's having a great time. You got a cop on 1106 00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:53.639 every corner, your dickhead? Have you seen this, knowme? 1107 00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:56.719 You're talking about with the parades itself. 1108 00:58:56.400 --> 00:59:01.360 No, not the parades. They call it summer streets or something. 1109 00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:04.079 I don't know. Yah, thumbest thing I've ever seen. If 1110 00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:06.400 they get down Park Avenue and they got a cop 1111 00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:09.599 on every corner. Who's paid for that. I don't want 1112 00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:13.440 to pay for that. Join you know, a crunch or 1113 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:17.000 Equinox or New York City Sports Club or something and 1114 00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:20.639 run around the track. You gotta pay taxes. So these 1115 00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:23.559 young idiots who vote for people like mom Donnie can 1116 00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:26.719 run down Park Avenue on a Saturday morning. What are 1117 00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:28.920 we nuts? What are we doing? 1118 00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:31.159 Though, well it's been they've been doing it for years. 1119 00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:32.519 Yeah, I no. I guess what when I run for 1120 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:34.920 mayor and I win, I'm getting rid of that. I'm 1121 00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:37.440 gonna add more cops and put them in areas where 1122 00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:39.239 girls are getting raped. I don't know. I think it's 1123 00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:42.880 more important than some idiot who makes two hundred and 1124 00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:46.480 fifty thousand dollars a year running down Park Avenue at 1125 00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:49.679 ten o'clock on a Saturday morning. Man, am I crazy? 1126 00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:52.320 One of the first things I'll do, I'll shut this 1127 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.280 thing down, or or they'll do it and there'll be 1128 00:59:55.320 --> 00:59:58.000 no cops ten o'clock in the morning. 1129 00:59:58.039 --> 00:59:58.679 Need to be there. 1130 00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:00.679 I have no idea the street. 1131 01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:02.679 I mean, might as well close Park Avenue. It's a 1132 01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:03.800 mess anyway. 1133 01:00:03.559 --> 01:00:07.559 Cops everywhere. No, that's New York City. I mean, just 1134 01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:09.679 you know, Bruce Blakeman says it all the time about 1135 01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:12.880 the state, about Huckel, that Wench, that we don't have 1136 01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:17.119 a revenue problem, We've got a spending problem. It's the 1137 01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:20.559 same thing with the city. They got plenty of money. 1138 01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.840 They just took eight billion from Hochel. We got money. 1139 01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:28.800 That's not the issue. It's where we spend the money.

I 1305 01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:42.079 knew that was the answer. What I enjoyed this morning 1306 01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:45.359 was I know you're still close with the former Vice 1307 01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:48.840 president Mike Pence, and I played a cut earlier today. 1308 01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:50.760 Something I've been saying, you know it, John, for a 1309 01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:53.359 long time. There is no such thing anymore as a 1310 01:09:53.399 --> 01:09:56.439 common sense Democrat. It's a unicorn. It's a cute saying 1311 01:09:56.479 --> 01:09:59.000 that don't exist. There's one. His name is John Betterman. 1312 01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:02.159 So it was really see I'm talking about people serving now, 1313 01:10:02.239 --> 01:10:05.319 not retired people like Governor David Patterson. So it's nice 1314 01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:08.439 to see Tom Cotton say that same exact thing with 1315 01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:11.920 Mark Levin on Saturday night and listening to Mike Pence 1316 01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:15.319 with you, he kind of said the same thing. He said, Look, 1317 01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:19.319 Republicans aren't perfect, They're not perfect, but the Democrats have 1318 01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:21.640 completely lost their minds. 1319 01:10:22.439 --> 01:10:25.640 They have completely lost their minds. And I am so 1320 01:10:26.039 --> 01:10:33.760 much disappointed in major major people in the Democratic Party 1321 01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:42.720 endorsing that lunatic in Michigan and that lunatic in Minnesota. 1322 01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:48.000 That's gonna run And I mean, all we want is 1323 01:10:48.039 --> 01:10:51.640 common sense. And I think the only way that the 1324 01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:56.279 Democratic Party is going to learn that is they lose 1325 01:10:56.359 --> 01:10:58.640 forty nine state sector did in nineteen eighty. 1326 01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:03.600 Four, remember that Reagan, you're too younger, No I remember, no, no, no, 1327 01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:06.640 I was, I was seventeen. It was Ronald Reagan, and 1328 01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:07.600 I do remember it. 1329 01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:12.520 Yes, I'll tell you that, but. 1330 01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:17.680 Nobody's well somebody got up yesterday. I don't know. I 1331 01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:21.319 didn't read the story. I saw the headlined some common 1332 01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:25.920 sense Democrats put up fifteen million dollars to fight the 1333 01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:30.680 Democratic Socialist Committee, and the Democratic Socialist Committee is not 1334 01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:35.960 that big. But guess what they know how to wage war? 1335 01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:38.399 Yeah? Great, point you exactly what? 1336 01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:41.479 Yes, yes, they know how to wage war, and they 1337 01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:44.920 know how to go up to weak Democrats. Looked him 1338 01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:49.560 in the eye and said, where gonna take you down? Okay, 1339 01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:52.479 you were you remember what I did to that guy 1340 01:11:52.520 --> 01:11:53.880 that tried to pick it my home? 1341 01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:56.439 No, you were great, you were great. 1342 01:11:57.119 --> 01:12:00.479 I took him, I grabbed his arm, I held onto it. 1343 01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:03.039 I said, make sure they take make sure they take 1344 01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:06.960 the photograph of us, because the facial recognition equipment will 1345 01:12:07.039 --> 01:12:10.159 know in five minutes through the hell you really are a. 1346 01:12:10.279 --> 01:12:12.479 You were great that there.

Would you like to 1435 01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:53.640 see the president maybe sit down with Todd blanch and 1436 01:16:53.640 --> 01:16:55.720 talk about a possible prosecution. 1437 01:16:57.159 --> 01:17:01.079 Well, good morning, said, well, first of all, FOUCHI own documents, 1438 01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:04.880 his own words is what nailed him. That's what the 1439 01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:09.600 American people need to see. I like seeing prosecuted. Unfortunately, 1440 01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:12.920 Biden did give him a sweeping pardon, which yields him 1441 01:17:12.920 --> 01:17:16.880 from federal prosecution. But I've spoken with the trans General 1442 01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:19.560 from Florida. He seems to be pretty interested in seeing 1443 01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:23.039 what state charges they can bring. I know, Coach Tumberville 1444 01:17:23.079 --> 01:17:25.439 probably going to be the next governor of Alabama. He's 1445 01:17:25.439 --> 01:17:27.479 made the same he'd like to see Fauci in court 1446 01:17:28.119 --> 01:17:31.199 every day for the rest of his life. But yeah, 1447 01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:34.600 let's face it, there's no doubt about it that Fauchi 1448 01:17:34.680 --> 01:17:38.520 held Congress and contempt. But even more importantly, he's held 1449 01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:43.560 the American public in contempt. And the first thing, and 1450 01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:45.600 this was happening right now, and it started a couple 1451 01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:49.479 of Wednesdays ago, is we're exposing the truth. He's no 1452 01:17:49.560 --> 01:17:52.239 longer Saint Fauci at least two about half America. I 1453 01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:56.199 think it was pretty astonishing was how democrats in that 1454 01:17:56.279 --> 01:17:58.800 hear and continue to defend him like he is some 1455 01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:02.439 kind of you know ain't at night. You know, White 1456 01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:05.800 Knight came in, you know, saved millions of lives during COVID. No, 1457 01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:11.079 he just destroyed lives, He destroyed economies. And now we 1458 01:18:11.159 --> 01:18:14.119 have access to his phones. We've we've been able to 1459 01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:18.119 download the information thirty four thousand texts. What is odd 1460 01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:21.479 is he only has three contacts. The rest of those 1461 01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:24.680 texts are associated with a phone number, which is going 1462 01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:28.479 to obviously complicate our efforts to trying to piece us 1463 01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:32.840 all together. But we're on the case and it's really 1464 01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:37.880 it's really important to have documents like texts, like emails, 1465 01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:40.600 and of course we know that his one of his lieutenants, 1466 01:18:40.640 --> 01:18:44.119 doctor David Morns, is my staff that picked that need 1467 01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.119 allowed the hay stack in terms of an emails that 1468 01:18:47.399 --> 01:18:52.560 doctor Morins sets somebody saying don't send me emails. You know, 1469 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.359 I've got this spoil lady that says, you know, showed 1470 01:18:55.359 --> 01:18:57.640 me how to make emails disappear. And we're starting to 1471 01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:01.039 see that pattern as we do this investigation into the 1472 01:19:01.039 --> 01:19:05.239 CDC and FDA actions during COVID, people were i think improperly, 1473 01:19:05.279 --> 01:19:08.640 if not illegally, deleting emails not only from their devices, 1474 01:19:08.680 --> 01:19:12.119 but even further deleting them off the server, which is 1475 01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:15.479 extremely suspicious. Now now you have to have you know, 1476 01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:19.920 people cooperating with that. So you know, my investigation has 1477 01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:22.880 only just begun because we only just got documents. I've 1478 01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:25.920 been doing oversight for years, never got anything out of 1479 01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:30.399 the Biden to HHS. Finally Boby Kennedy with his commitment 1480 01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:33.800 to radical transparency, we got eleven million pages. We have 1481 01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:36.640 all these devices. Now we just got his Fauci's phone, 1482 01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:41.239 So now the information is coming to the front. And 1483 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:42.720 again it's going to take us time to go through 1484 01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:46.399 those foreign records to be able to release those publicly responsibly. 1485 01:19:46.520 --> 01:19:48.479 You know, I don't want to. I don't want to 1486 01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:52.600 provide personal information on anybody or put honest, even Fauci's 1487 01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:56.880 personal information that don't sicktly relate to you know, public 1488 01:19:56.880 --> 01:20:00.199 policy and what he did within that realm. 1489 01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:03.119 You know, you mentioned Governor Turberville and I was a 1490 01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:05.479 big band of his when he was coaching Auburn football. 1491 01:20:05.600 --> 01:20:08.359 And of course he's leaving the Senate. So there's a 1492 01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:10.359 seat we gotta fill. We gotta fill. It looks like 1493 01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:15.520 Marshall Blackburn seat in Tennessee. She's running for governor. But tomorrow, 1494 01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:18.279 outside of Tony Fauci is a big primary day for 1495 01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:21.279 five states, including yours. And I know you know this, 1496 01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:24.159 Ron Johnson, but all the media is talking about your 1497 01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:29.800 states specifically because you have a legitimate lunatic, a legitimate psycho. 1498 01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:33.560 This Francesca Hang, the same lady who said that we 1499 01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:36.800 should no longer celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. I 1500 01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:38.560 think she's gone back on that, But it's two late 1501 01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:42.960 thirty Senate. She's a real Dsay lunatic and her primary 1502 01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:46.479 comes up in your great sight of Wisconsin tomorrow. How 1503 01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:50.920 fearful should Wisconsin people be an Americans with this lady 1504 01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:52.960 running for governor in your state. 1505 01:20:54.079 --> 01:20:56.600 Well, as long as she doesn't be elected governor, there's 1506 01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:59.560 probably nothing to fear but the best an open question. 1507 01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:03.079 You know that the Democrat Party just basically quoted on itself. 1508 01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:07.239 They had, you know, what they would consider more moderate Candace. 1509 01:21:07.319 --> 01:21:09.319 I think there are all a bunch of radical lectures myself, 1510 01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:12.920 but the one self proclaimed socialist is the only person 1511 01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:16.479 basically left standing. By the way, all the early voting, 1512 01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:19.560 there's there was a move when Sarah Rodriguez dropped out 1513 01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:22.680 Mandela Barnes dropped out that Democrats want, well, can I 1514 01:21:22.720 --> 01:21:26.439 recall my ap steap out and revote. You know, that's 1515 01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:28.600 the problem with the early voting, which is why we 1516 01:21:28.680 --> 01:21:31.119 probably ought to restrict it to a much narrower time 1517 01:21:31.159 --> 01:21:34.079 frame so that all the information can be can come 1518 01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:37.560 out before you start voting. So now Democrats are starting 1519 01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:39.479 to see that, well, there's kind of kind of backfires 1520 01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:40.840 on you every now and again when you try and 1521 01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:44.600 make you know, it's so permissive in terms of these elections. 1522 01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:48.079 But you know, lay that aside. Now we've got Francesca 1523 01:21:48.159 --> 01:21:51.680 hung is a radical leftist, and of course she's backtracking 1524 01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:54.680 from all her previous stances. In other words, she's lying 1525 01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:57.800 about what she truly believes and trying to pull the 1526 01:21:57.840 --> 01:22:01.640 wool over the eyes of Wisconsin. I hope and pray 1527 01:22:02.039 --> 01:22:02.920 that that won't happen. 1528 01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:05.079 Yeah, I don't know. I think she's gonna win tomorrow. 1529 01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:07.560 But anyway, any rate, you know, it was nice to 1530 01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:10.399 see Tom Cotton on with Mark Levin this weekend saying 1531 01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:13.279 what I've been saying all alone, and that is ron 1532 01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:16.520 that this common sense Democrat thing doesn't exist, you know, 1533 01:22:16.640 --> 01:22:19.479 I mean, I guess Mansion was close when he was there, 1534 01:22:19.520 --> 01:22:22.119 but he's gone out of West Virginia. There's only one 1535 01:22:22.239 --> 01:22:24.880 John Betterman. Now you'll with these people every day. I'm 1536 01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:27.920 just a radio guy. I only see one John Betterman, 1537 01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:30.000 and I was happy to hear again Tom Cotton say 1538 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:33.039 the same thing this weekend. Am I missing some real good, 1539 01:22:33.079 --> 01:22:35.520 common sense Democrats that you get to work with every day. 1540 01:22:36.319 --> 01:22:39.000 Well, first of all, Francesca Hong will win the primary. 1541 01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:40.720 I don't think the same question about that. She's the 1542 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:43.039 only one left standing. It's the general election. We need 1543 01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:46.600 to make sure she's defeated. But no, listen whether whether 1544 01:22:46.640 --> 01:22:50.359 they profess it openly or whether they're you know, their 1545 01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:53.880 closet radical electis. Basically they're all radical electists, or at 1546 01:22:53.920 --> 01:22:56.439 least they joined the team that is now run by 1547 01:22:56.439 --> 01:22:59.319 the radical eptis, by the Bernie Sanders type, by the 1548 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.760 franchise to Hong type. So no, that's what soul alarming 1549 01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:05.279 said is. You know, in the past, Democrats had had 1550 01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:08.039 to hide their true beliefs, that they really were closet 1551 01:23:08.119 --> 01:23:12.199 socialists or communists or Marxists. Now it's out in the open. 1552 01:23:12.600 --> 01:23:16.640 After Mom, Donnie, who will probably do a great deal 1553 01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:19.000 harm in New York and hopefully New Yorkers and the 1554 01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:21.840 rest of nation will will see the results of this. 1555 01:23:21.880 --> 01:23:24.520 I mean when you start talking about government run grocery 1556 01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:27.079 stores and what a failure that will be, and they'll 1557 01:23:27.159 --> 01:23:33.159 just create more food deserts. Right, Socialism has always failed, 1558 01:23:33.159 --> 01:23:37.000 it always will. It's it sounds good, it just simply 1559 01:23:37.079 --> 01:23:40.079 doesn't work. And again I blame the legacy media and 1560 01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:43.920 our education system for not not educating our young people 1561 01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:46.840 in the public in terms of the dangers of socialism. 1562 01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:50.279 Well, you nailed it. Legacy media and education not right. 1563 01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:52.159 These kids actually think this is a good thing. But 1564 01:23:52.560 --> 01:23:55.479 there is some buyer's remorse. That's still early. This idiot 1565 01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:57.840 has only been in office year for about eight months. 1566 01:23:57.840 --> 01:23:59.840 He's gone three plus years to go. But there is 1567 01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:01.880 some bias you more, so, what do you that's the 1568 01:24:01.880 --> 01:24:04.439 good news, all right? Ron? So I wanted to see 1569 01:24:04.439 --> 01:24:06.720 you on Maria yesterday, but you had Blackburn on instead. 1570 01:24:06.760 --> 01:24:08.359 I love when you go on that show because I 1571 01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:10.800 think you're the most knowledgeable guy in the Senate. And 1572 01:24:10.840 --> 01:24:12.760 I said, wait a second, wait a second. The Save 1573 01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:15.720 America Act is not done. We got to get that done. 1574 01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:18.960 Reconciliation is not done. A few other things are not done. Listen, 1575 01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:22.079 I'm glad that you guys power through about seventy five 1576 01:24:22.119 --> 01:24:25.399 Trump people, including Todd Blanche and he did some other things. 1577 01:24:25.399 --> 01:24:28.239 But it seems to me, if I'm wrong, Ron, correct me. 1578 01:24:28.520 --> 01:24:31.600 It seems to me like the Senate's got a lot 1579 01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:33.680 of work to do and you guys are off till 1580 01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:36.399 September the fourteenth. What the hell is that? 1581 01:24:37.399 --> 01:24:40.399 So, first of all, understand, the reason we haven't passed 1582 01:24:40.439 --> 01:24:45.319 any election integrity measures is because Democrats are opposed to them. 1583 01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:48.319 It's not you know, Republicans, we all vote for it. 1584 01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:53.000 We prove that with our final vote late early in 1585 01:24:53.039 --> 01:24:56.079 the morning Saturday morning by once again bringing up a 1586 01:24:56.199 --> 01:25:00.560 simple voter ID bill Democrats when we had State MARKA 1587 01:25:00.560 --> 01:25:03.079 Act on the floor, we were debating a Democrats all, professor, 1588 01:25:03.399 --> 01:25:06.159 we're for voter I d well, we gave them one 1589 01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:08.960 last opportunity. It's not the last, but I mean another 1590 01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:12.479 one to vote for a simple voter ID bill. None 1591 01:25:12.479 --> 01:25:14.319 of the other things that they object to. Our attachment 1592 01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:17.760 is simple voter ID. They all vote against its. Republicans 1593 01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:20.079 all voted for it. When we come back, we will 1594 01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:23.800 bring up a sweetener. So okay, so you wouldn't do 1595 01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:24.640 a standalone vote. 1596 01:25:24.640 --> 01:25:24.800 ID. 1597 01:25:24.920 --> 01:25:27.279 How about if we add to it a stock band, 1598 01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:30.319 a stock trading band form members of Congress. You know, 1599 01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:33.720 we'll we'll we'll combine that. They'll probably vote that down, 1600 01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:34.560 and then what we're going to. 1601 01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:37.800 Do those I mean, I got. 1602 01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:41.199 Le finishers fishers with the consent of the President. I 1603 01:25:41.279 --> 01:25:45.359 called him up Friday night, say, mister President, we're not 1604 01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:49.279 sure whether we can pass the bunch of reconciliations that 1605 01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:51.520 the House passed. Okay, we just don't know. If you 1606 01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:52.960 put it on the floor, you really don't know. Tell 1607 01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:56.840 you take a vote. But that reconciliation is inadequate. It 1608 01:25:56.840 --> 01:25:59.840 does not provide the support for the finest among us 1609 01:25:59.880 --> 01:26:03.199 and been and win in the military. It's inactworate funding. 1610 01:26:03.199 --> 01:26:06.439 From that standpoint, we need to take more time from 1611 01:26:06.439 --> 01:26:08.680 a standpoint of what we need to do, what we 1612 01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:12.000 can get in terms of election integrity measures with the reconciliation. 1613 01:26:12.520 --> 01:26:14.520 There are many other things we can add to a 1614 01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:17.840 reconciliation if we have the time. They did a very 1615 01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:20.439 skinny one hoping we could quick get it passed and 1616 01:26:20.439 --> 01:26:23.399 then do a fourth reconciliation. I think we just made 1617 01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:26.479 the decision collectively the House to send as the president. Okay, 1618 01:26:26.560 --> 01:26:30.880 let's let's work hard on a much better budget reconciliation. 1619 01:26:31.000 --> 01:26:33.479 So we agreed to that, and so again, you know 1620 01:26:33.920 --> 01:26:37.479 we did. We accomplished a lot, got Todd Lanche confirmed. 1621 01:26:37.520 --> 01:26:40.680 We we again pointed out that Democrats simply are opposed 1622 01:26:40.720 --> 01:26:43.159 to election integrity, and we agreed to work on a 1623 01:26:43.239 --> 01:26:45.680 much better budget reconciliation over the next coming months. 1624 01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:48.359 Okay, I like that. I did want to ty to 1625 01:26:48.439 --> 01:26:50.359 to people a second because of the whole stock thing. 1626 01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:52.640 I mean, the amount of money that Nancy Pelosi has made, 1627 01:26:52.680 --> 01:26:54.640 it's got to be criminal. I don't know. But at 1628 01:26:54.680 --> 01:26:57.399 one point you may remember, and may have been, even 1629 01:26:58.479 --> 01:27:01.439 the night of President Trump State of the Union, even 1630 01:27:01.479 --> 01:27:04.520 Liz Warren came out and seemed like she was pot contest, 1631 01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:08.399 seemed like she was against some of these House and 1632 01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:13.119 Congress members involved in this trade stuff making all this money. 1633 01:27:13.560 --> 01:27:15.279 So I mean, just is this too money that I 1634 01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:16.680 think they're making a lot of money? I don't know, 1635 01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:19.000 is that at all a realistic possibility? 1636 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:22.359 It should be. Again, what I did is I sold 1637 01:27:22.399 --> 01:27:25.560 all my marketable securities when I got elected Senate. I've 1638 01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:28.319 been sitting on cash, losing my you know what. Okay, 1639 01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:30.720 now we finally bought some ets. But again I do 1640 01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:32.720 not do single trade, and I don't think members of 1641 01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:36.119 Congress should. Again, it just looks dirty, right. So you know, 1642 01:27:36.439 --> 01:27:38.239 in the past I've opposed some of these measures that 1643 01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:40.800 go too far, that force you to sell your business 1644 01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:43.159 if you're a small business person, that's too far. But 1645 01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:48.119 banning individual stock trades, I'm all for every I think 1646 01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:52.399 probably every member of Congress professionally. Before Democrats profess to 1647 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:55.520 be for it, let's let's see if they they'll vote 1648 01:27:55.520 --> 01:27:57.560 for it. So again, I think we've set this up. 1649 01:27:57.680 --> 01:27:59.640 You know, our job between now the election is to 1650 01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:03.840 point up difference streets, differences between Republicans and Democrats. And 1651 01:28:03.840 --> 01:28:08.640 as imperfect as Republicans are, Democrats are orders of magnitude worse. 1652 01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:11.760 They are the reason that we have open borders. They 1653 01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:15.279 are the reason for all these victims of illegal immigrant crime. 1654 01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:18.439 They are the reason we can't vote or can't pass 1655 01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:23.239 voter integrity measures. So please understand what's at state. We've 1656 01:28:23.239 --> 01:28:27.760 got radical socialists running openly on the ballot. And again, 1657 01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:32.520 I know Republicans aren't perfect, but please please understand what's 1658 01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:36.520 at stake. Our nation is in peril. Democrats, radical leftists, 1659 01:28:36.560 --> 01:28:38.560 radical socialists have to be defeated. 1660 01:28:39.079 --> 01:28:41.439 That is so well said, I got so angrent people go, well, 1661 01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:43.760 both sides, shut up. It's not both sides. Okay, Yeah, 1662 01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:46.680 Republicans aren't perfect. But these people are lunatics on the 1663 01:28:46.760 --> 01:28:50.439 left and even the quote unquote common sense ones they 1664 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:53.000 don't exist anymore, like you said, because they've been pleasured 1665 01:28:53.039 --> 01:28:55.720 to move further to the left, which is beyond progressive 1666 01:28:55.920 --> 01:28:58.319 and now more towards DSA. Tell me this on a 1667 01:28:58.359 --> 01:29:01.600 fun note, small market, right, But the Green Bay Packers, 1668 01:29:01.920 --> 01:29:05.079 whether it was Brett Favv, Aaron Rodgers now love you 1669 01:29:05.119 --> 01:29:08.079 guys are always great. The Brewers. The Brewers are about 1670 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:11.079 to win the nl Central again, so you guys are 1671 01:29:11.079 --> 01:29:13.239 always good. The Bucks a couple of years ago, you 1672 01:29:13.279 --> 01:29:15.880 guys won the NBA Championship. But how big was it 1673 01:29:16.279 --> 01:29:18.880 when the Bucks traded Giannis a couple of weeks ago 1674 01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:19.720 to the Miami Heat. 1675 01:29:20.720 --> 01:29:24.119 Well, that absolutely hurts. But again, everybody has a bell 1676 01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:26.760 curve on their career where they're absolutely best, and you know, 1677 01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:29.800 they start getting older and less effective. But it is 1678 01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:35.720 really remarkable to these small market cities. You know these teams, Packers, Brewers, 1679 01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:38.399 the Bucks, how well they do in terms of recruiting 1680 01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:42.920 the new talent. So we we somehow, partly partly because 1681 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:45.720 of I think people are attracted to you know, the 1682 01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:48.680 fan base here because they're phenomenal fans. But we tracked 1683 01:29:48.680 --> 01:29:51.079 this early talent. We take advantage of them earlier in 1684 01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:53.960 the careers, and then of course New York or walk 1685 01:29:54.039 --> 01:29:56.479 that way, you know, ends up buying them out. But 1686 01:29:56.520 --> 01:30:00.319 again while they're on the rise, as they're reaching their pete, 1687 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:02.880 we take full advantage of him, and you know, we 1688 01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:04.920 end up with some championships every now and again. 1689 01:30:05.039 --> 01:30:06.800 Well, I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna give you the credit 1690 01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:08.319 for it because I love you so much and you're 1691 01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:10.600 such a great senator that I'm gonna say that the 1692 01:30:10.680 --> 01:30:15.119 Milwaukee success in sports is also about Ron Johnson. I mean, 1693 01:30:15.359 --> 01:30:17.439 what don't you do. You know you're working on making 1694 01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:20.439 sure people are accountable for the vaccines that hurt our 1695 01:30:20.560 --> 01:30:22.720 kids and other people over the years. That's great work 1696 01:30:22.720 --> 01:30:25.000 you're doing, Ron. All the other work you're doing for 1697 01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:27.479 Save America and the rest of the bills you're working 1698 01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:29.560 on in the Senate and I say this all the time, 1699 01:30:29.600 --> 01:30:32.520 not to embarrass you. I just think you're a phenomenal 1700 01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:34.720 You're really are. You're great. So enjoy your time off 1701 01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:38.199 because if anybody deserves it, it's you. Ron Johnson, thank 1702 01:30:38.199 --> 01:30:38.840 you so much. 1703 01:30:39.520 --> 01:30:40.840 I'll be working hard and trust. 1704 01:30:40.680 --> 01:30:43.239 Me, I know, Ron, Thank you. Buddy. There he is 1705 01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:45.960 the great senator from the state of Wisconsin. I realty 1706 01:30:46.000 --> 01:30:48.479 do love that guy, Ron Johnson. Take a break. Still 1707 01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:50.279 a lot more to do. This morning.

Also, 1712 01:31:02.760 --> 01:31:05.439 hopefully he talked to Scott Lobato. He has not contacted 1713 01:31:05.479 --> 01:31:07.439 me yet this morning, but he's supposed to come on 1714 01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:10.600 at about eight fifty and coming up by after the news. 1715 01:31:10.600 --> 01:31:11.960 We're going to talk to not one but. 1716 01:31:12.119 --> 01:31:16.720 Two gentlemen Sid and friends in the morning on the 1717 01:31:16.760 --> 01:31:19.800 Red Apple podcast network for the. 1718 01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:22.800 President of United State stumpfe Donald Trump will come out 1719 01:31:22.840 --> 01:31:24.840 and for a rally for you. 1720 01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:30.520 It's not public yet, but I think we'll be seeing 1721 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:32.680 Donald Trump in New York very soon. 1722 01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:36.239 It'll be nice.

I mean 1727 01:31:47.439 --> 01:31:49.000 to make you good mayor. What do you think, zev? 1728 01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:51.319 I think such? I asked him that question. The problem 1729 01:31:51.359 --> 01:31:53.039 is his wife one led him. So I asked him 1730 01:31:53.079 --> 01:31:55.720 the question. If the President of the United States calls 1731 01:31:55.760 --> 01:31:57.399 you up and says, Sid, I need you to run 1732 01:31:57.439 --> 01:31:59.960 for may while you're run tough one, he'll be the mayor. 1733 01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:01.640 He would be the president or his wife and he 1734 01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:03.359 was He hesitated for a moment or two. 1735 01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:06.880 Well, I'm sure Danielle doesn't want him to take the 1736 01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:10.720 pay cut. But listen, Sid is a great guy. You know, 1737 01:32:10.800 --> 01:32:13.399 he's a dear friend of mine and he's a patriot 1738 01:32:13.720 --> 01:32:14.600 and a proud Jew. 1739 01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:24.560 Still coming up, Sid for mayor. My friend Danny introduced 1740 01:32:24.600 --> 01:32:28.520 me last night at this really big event, much bigger 1741 01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:31.279 than I thought it would be Boots for Israel event 1742 01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:34.680 at the Hut residence lovely people out of indeed Hut 1743 01:32:34.760 --> 01:32:38.479 in West Hampton.

Sid Rosenborg the New York Post only two 1746 01:32:46.039 --> 01:32:48.439 weeks ago put something in there. City in state does 1747 01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:51.359 it just about every week. So it's still out there. 1748 01:32:52.439 --> 01:32:55.920 And I will at some point have a discussion with 1749 01:32:56.039 --> 01:33:00.319 President Trump, maybe sooner than later, maybe this week, and 1750 01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:03.239 I'll ask him and they'll say, he said, don't be crazy. 1751 01:33:03.239 --> 01:33:05.000 Come on here, the greatest radio host in the history 1752 01:33:05.000 --> 01:33:06.319 of the business.

Less 1759 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:27.439 about the money cut and more about the lies and 1760 01:33:27.479 --> 01:33:31.399 the digging they do when they try to ruin other candidates. 1761 01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:35.039 But the city needs help. He is a horrible person, 1762 01:33:35.439 --> 01:33:38.680 a dreadful mayor and a horrible person. And of course 1763 01:33:38.720 --> 01:33:42.399 I've been on this crusade for weeks now, way before 1764 01:33:42.399 --> 01:33:46.880 anybody else, way before, to try to keep this animal 1765 01:33:46.920 --> 01:33:51.640 away from the Freedom Tower of nine to eleven and 1766 01:33:51.960 --> 01:33:55.439 my friend Phyllison Seruela, who works with Joanne Ariola, my 1767 01:33:55.479 --> 01:33:58.720 great counsel lady, put me in touch with Giovanni Galante. 1768 01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:01.640 He sorted the petition. Now, I think when Giovanni came 1769 01:34:01.720 --> 01:34:04.479 on my show that morning, it's weeks now, he had 1770 01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:07.479 fourteen thousand signatures. He's got to be close to one 1771 01:34:07.520 --> 01:34:10.479 hundred thousand. Now that's the power of this show. Hey, 1772 01:34:10.520 --> 01:34:13.119 you gonna come back on next And he's bringing on 1773 01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:15.640 a friend of his who I keep calling Michael Wolfe. 1774 01:34:15.680 --> 01:34:20.399 I apologize. His name is Charles Wolfe. And much like 1775 01:34:20.520 --> 01:34:24.239 Giovanni who lost his beautiful wife Grace, she was murdered 1776 01:34:24.239 --> 01:34:28.159 twenty nine years old, Charles lost his wife Catherine as well. 1777 01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:30.800 So both of those gentlemen will join me next, and 1778 01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:33.720 then we'll talk to Scott Lobato.

So this is gonna hit 1787 01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:58.760 close to home for you. We're about to commemorate twenty 1788 01:34:58.800 --> 01:35:01.119 five years. I know you listen to every day. I 1789 01:35:01.199 --> 01:35:04.640 am beating this drama. I had Bill Donnie you want 1790 01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:07.560 from the Catholic League. He's written a long letter urging 1791 01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:12.279 Mamdanie not to come nine to eleven. I brought on survivors, victims, 1792 01:35:12.319 --> 01:35:15.199 the families. I brought on the guy that started the petition. 1793 01:35:15.600 --> 01:35:17.960 I'm bringing on another lady. I am on a mission 1794 01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:19.479 to keep this mayor away. 1795 01:35:19.520 --> 01:35:19.600 Now. 1796 01:35:19.640 --> 01:35:21.600 I know I can't do it, and I know the 1797 01:35:21.600 --> 01:35:24.760 odds are stacked against me. But I also know that 1798 01:35:25.199 --> 01:35:30.720 the overwhelming majority, not even the overwhelming majority of nine 1799 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:34.520 to eleven families don't want this anti American mayor there. 1800 01:35:34.920 --> 01:35:37.720 So I'm not asking you whether you think he'll come 1801 01:35:37.800 --> 01:35:39.600 or not, or if you a governor, if you would 1802 01:35:39.640 --> 01:35:41.880 stop him from coming or not. I want, as a 1803 01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:44.399 guy that worked with a port authority, who lost people 1804 01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:46.880 that day, I want you to tell me do you 1805 01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:48.640 think the mayor should show up? 1806 01:35:49.600 --> 01:35:51.720 Well, first of all, said, I don't know if you 1807 01:35:51.800 --> 01:35:54.560 know this or not, but my nephew was murdered on 1808 01:35:54.640 --> 01:35:59.640 that day. No, Sergeant Tommy Jurgens my sister Linder's alder 1809 01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:03.640 boy oldest boy. I'm twenty six years old, Army veteran, 1810 01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:07.680 volunteer firefighter, New York State Court officer, was giving first 1811 01:36:07.760 --> 01:36:10.560 day to a woman who was severely burned in Tower 1812 01:36:10.640 --> 01:36:13.399 two when it collapsed on him. We never got a 1813 01:36:13.439 --> 01:36:16.039 body or DNA. We only got his side arm and 1814 01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:20.239 his badge. So it's very personal to me. I am 1815 01:36:20.279 --> 01:36:25.159 a family member, and I don't think zoron Mondami should go. 1816 01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:28.319 It's as if you know someone who's having a wake 1817 01:36:28.800 --> 01:36:30.920 and they asked you not to go to the wake 1818 01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:35.920 for personal reasons, you wouldn't go. So I mean, I 1819 01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:37.800 don't think he should go. But here's what I'm going 1820 01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:41.399 to say. If he's hell bent on going, I think 1821 01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:46.600 people have a way to respectfully protest that. Turn your 1822 01:36:46.640 --> 01:36:50.920 back on him, don't say anything to him, don't make 1823 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:55.880 a ruckus be solemn because it is a solemn day. 1824 01:36:57.079 --> 01:36:58.119 Just turn your back on him. 1825 01:36:58.119 --> 01:37:00.399 And a friend of his name Charles Wolf. I think 1826 01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:05.000 Grace worked the Cannipitzgerald. His friend Charles Wolf Wolf, who's 1827 01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:08.439 a love Your wife, Catherine was also murdered that day. 1828 01:37:08.479 --> 01:37:14.279 She worked at marsh em mcclennan. So with that said, Giovanni, Charles, 1829 01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:16.279 welcome to the show. How are you. 1830 01:37:16.239 --> 01:37:19.520 Guys today, Good morning, great, Thanks for having me on. 1831 01:37:19.600 --> 01:37:19.960 You got it. 1832 01:37:20.039 --> 01:37:22.079 Let me start with you for a second. Giovanni, when 1833 01:37:22.079 --> 01:37:23.880 you came on the show a couple of weeks ago, 1834 01:37:24.920 --> 01:37:26.560 and I was humbled. You said you tried to reach 1835 01:37:26.560 --> 01:37:28.319 out to me when you started this petition, So thank 1836 01:37:28.359 --> 01:37:31.479 you for that. I think you had about fourteen thousand signatures. 1837 01:37:31.960 --> 01:37:34.640 The next day you had about fifty and last I heard, 1838 01:37:34.640 --> 01:37:37.960 you were closer to ninety. What is the actual number 1839 01:37:38.039 --> 01:37:39.279 on the petition right now? 1840 01:37:40.359 --> 01:37:44.439 It's eighty one, nine and fifty two, I believe. And 1841 01:37:44.840 --> 01:37:49.640 when we spoke, I only had about fifteen hundred two thousand. 1842 01:37:49.680 --> 01:37:52.840 You didn't give you enough enough credit for your your 1843 01:37:52.920 --> 01:37:57.279 listeners and the support that I've gotten.

I'm going to ask you some of the 1857 01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:40.520 same questions I asked my friend Giovanni here. Some of 1858 01:38:40.520 --> 01:38:42.439 them will be a little difficult, I'm warning you now. 1859 01:38:42.479 --> 01:38:45.359 But take me back to that. Yeah, take me back 1860 01:38:45.399 --> 01:38:49.319 to that horrible morning coming up on twenty five years 1861 01:38:49.359 --> 01:38:51.600 of nine to eleven. Where were you and what were 1862 01:38:51.600 --> 01:38:54.319 you doing when you figured out that Catherine was not 1863 01:38:54.359 --> 01:38:54.920 coming home? 1864 01:38:56.119 --> 01:38:59.640 Well, I live in Lower Manhattan. I live in Grant Shots, 1865 01:38:59.640 --> 01:39:02.319 the history art district of Greenwich Village on Bleaker Street, 1866 01:39:03.079 --> 01:39:07.279 and she had left her work. She'd Interestingly enough, she 1867 01:39:07.439 --> 01:39:10.800 did express the fact that her mind is not at 1868 01:39:10.800 --> 01:39:14.119 ease that morning, and yes, do. 1869 01:39:14.119 --> 01:39:15.800 You know why that was the case? You know why 1870 01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:16.920 she was referring to it? 1871 01:39:17.199 --> 01:39:19.680 Not then what I do now? 1872 01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:20.800 My wife. 1873 01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:23.239 My wife had a tendency to be. 1874 01:39:24.840 --> 01:39:29.479 Uh opprescient. In other words, she could decide to do 1875 01:39:29.560 --> 01:39:34.840 something and against all odds, it would happen. She kind of, uh, well, 1876 01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:37.680 she actually had a dream the night that she accepted 1877 01:39:37.680 --> 01:39:41.960 the position at Marsha McLennan, which which was in the 1878 01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:44.920 like the two thirds of the way through August, she 1879 01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:48.680 had a dream and she told me about the dream, 1880 01:39:48.680 --> 01:39:50.880 and she wrote it down. And I found that book 1881 01:39:50.880 --> 01:39:56.319 in January of two and it is a prophetic dream 1882 01:39:56.560 --> 01:39:59.279 about the attacks themselves. Oh, I want to go into 1883 01:39:59.319 --> 01:40:02.640 any more of that but at this point, but yeah, 1884 01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:06.760 she has she had. She was prescient, I guess didn't 1885 01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:09.920 really know it until after the fact and found this book. 1886 01:40:10.720 --> 01:40:13.399 But she you know, we live in a small studio 1887 01:40:13.439 --> 01:40:17.760 apartment hit a corner of Bleaker and Thompson Streets in 1888 01:40:17.840 --> 01:40:18.319 the village. 1889 01:40:19.000 --> 01:40:20.479 And I had. 1890 01:40:20.359 --> 01:40:22.279 Turned off the television so I could get some work 1891 01:40:22.319 --> 01:40:25.359 done because I work from home, and she said, would 1892 01:40:25.359 --> 01:40:28.680 you mind turning the TV back on please? My mind 1893 01:40:28.760 --> 01:40:32.079 is not at ease. I had never heard her say that, 1894 01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:35.600 and we've been together for thirteen years. So she went 1895 01:40:35.640 --> 01:40:39.079 to work and I happened to be a pilot, just 1896 01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:41.800 a private pilot, not an airline or a jet pilot, 1897 01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:45.000 just a private you know, four seaters, six seater propeller plane. 1898 01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:47.399 And I know I've been to a lot of air 1899 01:40:47.439 --> 01:40:50.680 shows and so forth in my years, and I heard 1900 01:40:50.680 --> 01:40:53.319 the plane fly over, and instantly I knew it was 1901 01:40:53.359 --> 01:40:54.880 a twin engine plane at full throttle. 1902 01:40:55.720 --> 01:40:56.840 And then I hit it hurt. 1903 01:40:57.079 --> 01:41:00.159 I heard it hit the building, but I didn't know 1904 01:41:00.199 --> 01:41:02.680 what it hit the building because I faced the other direction. 1905 01:41:04.000 --> 01:41:07.800 My little balcony faces uptown rather than downtown. But it 1906 01:41:07.880 --> 01:41:11.560 flew directly over our building. And then I ran down 1907 01:41:11.560 --> 01:41:13.760 into the street and saw the gash in the building, 1908 01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:17.520 and it all went from there. I ended up calling 1909 01:41:17.560 --> 01:41:20.279 the FBI to tell them that was no accident, because 1910 01:41:20.279 --> 01:41:25.520 I knew it was deliberate. And so that's what happened 1911 01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:26.000 that morning. 1912 01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:28.840 Did you have a chance. I know, for example, how 1913 01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:30.760 what Lutnik has become a friend of mine was with 1914 01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:33.479 President Trump. His brother was able to make a phone 1915 01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:35.039 call before he died that day in that. 1916 01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:37.600 Build plane the plane hit well. First of all, I 1917 01:41:37.680 --> 01:41:41.199 know Howard very well, and he and his sister and 1918 01:41:41.239 --> 01:41:44.520 I did a lot of post nine to eleven work. 1919 01:41:45.159 --> 01:41:48.920 But the plane hit Captain's office directly four hundred and 1920 01:41:48.960 --> 01:41:52.119 fifty miles an hour, So she never knew what was coming, 1921 01:41:52.399 --> 01:41:55.399 and she never knew it happened because she and all 1922 01:41:55.439 --> 01:41:58.960 the others right in her office area were instantaneously vaporized, 1923 01:42:00.399 --> 01:42:02.479 which I am glad she didn't suffer. 1924 01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:05.760 Of course. Absolutely. This is Charles Wolf who lost his 1925 01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:09.239 wife Katherine, and Giovanni Gallante, who want the courage to 1926 01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:11.680 start this position petition. 1927 01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:15.119 Said one more thing before you go the governor or. 1928 01:42:16.680 --> 01:42:20.079 Of the man who's running for governor. I forgot. It's Blakeman, 1929 01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:24.239 Bruce Blakeman. He gave he gave a piece of advice. 1930 01:42:24.640 --> 01:42:26.479 And I wanted to say that I've already done that 1931 01:42:27.159 --> 01:42:31.840 because mandamn Me showed up at the visitation of King 1932 01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:36.800 Charles the Third back in late April, and remember the 1933 01:42:37.720 --> 01:42:42.319 mayor was going around kind of interrupting conversations and so forth, 1934 01:42:42.800 --> 01:42:45.520 and I didn't like that. So when he came over 1935 01:42:45.560 --> 01:42:48.479 to me, my hands were in my pockets and I 1936 01:42:48.560 --> 01:42:49.600 turned my back to him. 1937 01:42:49.640 --> 01:42:51.399 Good for you, good for you. Well we get back 1938 01:42:51.399 --> 01:42:53.479 to you, Charles. We're not done yet with you, jush yet. 1939 01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:57.159 But Giovanni, you said you went from fourteen thousand signatures, 1940 01:42:57.239 --> 01:43:01.279 actually fourteen hundred on your petition, better than eighty thousand. 1941 01:43:01.399 --> 01:43:04.239 Now do you have any more confidence today than we 1942 01:43:04.279 --> 01:43:07.840 spoke two weeks ago that maybe, just maybe something is 1943 01:43:07.880 --> 01:43:10.359 getting through to this more on this mayor or do 1944 01:43:10.439 --> 01:43:13.560 you feel like, while yes, my audience has been great 1945 01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:16.199 and New Yorkers have been great, that will still be 1946 01:43:16.359 --> 01:43:18.840 there and maybe you'll have to do what Bruce Blakeman 1947 01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:21.399 said and Charles just said, just turn your back on 1948 01:43:21.439 --> 01:43:21.920 this creep. 1949 01:43:23.439 --> 01:43:28.199 Well, I want to say your audience is great, and 1950 01:43:28.399 --> 01:43:31.760 it is awesome. But I told you I was doing 1951 01:43:31.760 --> 01:43:35.720 a prest conference on September eighth at twelve pm at 1952 01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:36.199 City Hall. 1953 01:43:36.319 --> 01:43:37.920 I got good news for you.

You did tell me about that, 1955 01:43:40.359 --> 01:43:43.960 and you called me yesterday and I will be coming 1956 01:43:44.359 --> 01:43:45.600 with Bruce Blakeman. 1957 01:43:46.199 --> 01:43:49.600 Awesome, awesome. I you know, I asked for your support. 1958 01:43:49.640 --> 01:43:52.159 Bruce Blakeman would be great to have him there as well, 1959 01:43:52.479 --> 01:43:55.880 obviously as a citizen and someone that cares about his nephew. 1960 01:43:56.199 --> 01:43:58.399 It's a you know, a thing that if we get 1961 01:43:58.520 --> 01:44:01.680 enough people there, maybe we have a better chance of 1962 01:44:01.960 --> 01:44:06.399 you know, telling this guy, dude, stay home, you're not welcome, 1963 01:44:06.840 --> 01:44:10.279 just stay away. You know this this press conference, I 1964 01:44:10.319 --> 01:44:13.279 think we'll bring a lot of people to City Hall 1965 01:44:13.319 --> 01:44:16.039 on that day at twelve o'clock September eighth. I ask 1966 01:44:16.119 --> 01:44:19.039 your audience, whoever can make it, I would appreciate them 1967 01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:21.520 standing by us and just being there just. 1968 01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:22.159 For the support. 1969 01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:25.079 The more people we have, the better it is. The 1970 01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:27.279 you know, one other thing that I do want to 1971 01:44:27.279 --> 01:44:30.079 mention is all these people that show love. It's great, 1972 01:44:30.199 --> 01:44:33.399 but we have a few trolls, you know, just a 1973 01:44:33.439 --> 01:44:36.560 few out of the eighty two thousand and maybe eight, 1974 01:44:36.640 --> 01:44:39.439 so it's a small fraction, but they keep calling us 1975 01:44:39.560 --> 01:44:43.960 bigots and gracious and all these names. Obviously, and I 1976 01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:48.439 want to make it clear so they understand the simple words. 1977 01:44:49.159 --> 01:44:55.720 We do not hate anyone, No Muslims, no Jews, no Blacks, 1978 01:44:55.720 --> 01:45:00.239 no Irish, no Italian. We just hate the fact of 1979 01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:03.039 people coming here to try to change our. 1980 01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:05.479 Way of life. Our way of life. 1981 01:45:05.600 --> 01:45:07.239 Is the American dream. 1982 01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:08.199 It's simple. 1983 01:45:08.680 --> 01:45:11.960 If you can't understand those few words. For the people 1984 01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:16.159 that do think that we hate everyone, we just hate 1985 01:45:16.199 --> 01:45:19.680 the people that hate us, that want to kill us. 1986 01:45:20.039 --> 01:45:25.439 It's not about religion or any other ethnicity, just the 1987 01:45:25.479 --> 01:45:29.199 people that hate us. And I hope that this can 1988 01:45:29.279 --> 01:45:32.760 clear up all the news media that talks about, you know, 1989 01:45:32.920 --> 01:45:36.880 brings us into a world of hate with Palestine and 1990 01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:41.039 Islamic people and all of these words that we didn't 1991 01:45:41.039 --> 01:45:41.560 make them up. 1992 01:45:41.640 --> 01:45:42.000 They did. 1993 01:45:42.720 --> 01:45:47.119 These are things that we want because we believe in 1994 01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:51.560 the American dream. Okay, that day changed our lives and 1995 01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:56.399 America forever. So I think it should clear up most 1996 01:45:56.439 --> 01:45:59.800 of the people that you know frolling around us, the 1997 01:46:00.159 --> 01:46:02.920 eleven people, and they're making them afraid to even speak out. 1998 01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:03.319 Some of them. 1999 01:46:03.399 --> 01:46:05.840 Oh, I know, George Soros has a packed out there. 2000 01:46:05.880 --> 01:46:08.880 And in fact, I had Joan Areyola on my counsel 2001 01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:12.279 lady from Queen's and she talked about it. And then 2002 01:46:12.279 --> 01:46:15.600 I brought on a lady Charles Director's to you who 2003 01:46:15.640 --> 01:46:18.079 actually helps run that package, is in charge of it. 2004 01:46:18.479 --> 01:46:22.680 And her name is Elizabeth Miller, and her father, Doug Miller, 2005 01:46:23.039 --> 01:46:26.199 was murdered that day till he was a firefighter. Anybody 2006 01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:29.159 who died that day was murdered, that's the bottom line. 2007 01:46:29.359 --> 01:46:31.520 So she lost her dad that day. She was six 2008 01:46:31.600 --> 01:46:34.279 years old. And I heard her news clipping a couple 2009 01:46:34.560 --> 01:46:36.760 about a week ago, and she said that she was 2010 01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:40.000 okay with the mayor coming. So long story short, she 2011 01:46:40.079 --> 01:46:42.640 was on this show a couple of days ago, and 2012 01:46:42.680 --> 01:46:44.840 I said, you know, Liz, and I love you. Don't 2013 01:46:44.840 --> 01:46:46.760 get me wrong, I love you. I felt horrible for you. 2014 01:46:47.560 --> 01:46:50.479 But this mayor hangs out with people, but he's friends 2015 01:46:50.520 --> 01:46:53.600 with them. He doesn't know him. He's friends with people 2016 01:46:54.239 --> 01:46:58.760 who thought your father. Who thinks your father deserved to die? 2017 01:46:58.840 --> 01:47:02.560 That's right, sounds right right? They think your father deserved 2018 01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:04.720 to die. Do you know? As sweet as she was, 2019 01:47:04.840 --> 01:47:07.760 she was on for fifteen minutes, I couldn't sway her 2020 01:47:08.000 --> 01:47:10.760 to go the other way. She thinks that the mayor. Now, look, 2021 01:47:10.800 --> 01:47:12.279 she's a Democrat and she would have bought it for 2022 01:47:12.399 --> 01:47:14.560 mom Donnie. She admits that she lives on Long Island. 2023 01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:18.319 But are you shot, Charles when you hear any family 2024 01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:21.159 member of a nine to eleven victim? Okay? With the 2025 01:47:21.199 --> 01:47:22.119 mayor's showing. 2026 01:47:21.920 --> 01:47:27.279 Up, everyone has their opinion. Some people have an opinion 2027 01:47:27.439 --> 01:47:32.960 such as that because they aren't fully informed. Some other 2028 01:47:33.039 --> 01:47:37.319 people just have a way of reasoning that doesn't want 2029 01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:40.039 to interfere. I'm not going to put the lady down. 2030 01:47:40.119 --> 01:47:42.600 I mean, she lost her dad. I wouldez, I'd hate 2031 01:47:42.640 --> 01:47:45.479 to have lost my dad at six years old. Wouldn't 2032 01:47:45.520 --> 01:47:49.760 really know who he was. But you know, everybody has 2033 01:47:49.840 --> 01:47:54.159 their their viewpoint, and I don't agree with it at all. 2034 01:47:55.520 --> 01:47:59.119 I have my own reasoning for it, and it's basically 2035 01:47:59.279 --> 01:48:07.640 that Mendami is essentially an Islamist. I have no problem 2036 01:48:08.279 --> 01:48:13.399 with Islam as a religion, but don't force it on me, 2037 01:48:14.199 --> 01:48:19.359 and don't force its rules on me. In church at 2038 01:48:19.399 --> 01:48:22.279 the cathedral Saint John the Divine, and I have been asked. 2039 01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:25.479 I'm a reader there and I was asked to read 2040 01:48:25.520 --> 01:48:29.520 the Quran a couple of times for the morning service, 2041 01:48:30.199 --> 01:48:34.000 and it was harmless, very good things. But I believe 2042 01:48:34.760 --> 01:48:37.159 what King Charles said in his speech to Congress this 2043 01:48:38.359 --> 01:48:45.880 last spring, okay, is that Sharia law which comes along 2044 01:48:46.399 --> 01:48:49.159 when you want to take over a country. Now, you see, 2045 01:48:49.359 --> 01:48:53.640 being Muslim in your own private sense is fine, but 2046 01:48:53.720 --> 01:48:57.439 it's when they start to apply Sharia law which controls you. 2047 01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:01.239 And there's a reason why the first Amendments there shall 2048 01:49:01.239 --> 01:49:06.000 be no establishmentever religion. It doesn't prevent religion. It means 2049 01:49:06.000 --> 01:49:09.840 that everyone has the right to exercise their own private 2050 01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:14.239 practice are religion. So that's fine, But when you want 2051 01:49:14.279 --> 01:49:16.600 to take over a country, when you want to you 2052 01:49:16.800 --> 01:49:20.800 when you want to oppress people, that's a whole different situation. 2053 01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:23.640 So that's that's the way I see it. 2054 01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:25.439 Oh, you're right, you're running the money. You got about 2055 01:49:25.479 --> 01:49:27.159 three minutes to go. I want to get one more 2056 01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:30.760 from both of you. Giovanni. Again, those signatures went up 2057 01:49:31.199 --> 01:49:35.000 eighty thousand fold. For folks are listening right now that 2058 01:49:35.119 --> 01:49:39.600 are victims' families or New Yorkers in general, has been 2059 01:49:39.640 --> 01:49:42.520 moved closer and closer to this day. What is your 2060 01:49:42.560 --> 01:49:44.079 message to them this morning? 2061 01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:47.760 Well, if they want to sign the petition. 2062 01:49:47.640 --> 01:49:50.960 They can look it up under the change dot. 2063 01:49:50.840 --> 01:49:55.119 Org and if they can't find it, they can email 2064 01:49:55.159 --> 01:49:57.000 me and I would send it to them under the 2065 01:49:57.119 --> 01:49:59.800 change dot orgate's under the memory of those laws and 2066 01:50:00.039 --> 01:50:01.119 Tember eleventh. 2067 01:50:00.720 --> 01:50:02.640 With dignity.

But he got 2076 01:50:25.640 --> 01:50:29.039 through it. And that is if you had a chance 2077 01:50:29.119 --> 01:50:32.199 to visit heaven this morning, and I have one more 2078 01:50:32.239 --> 01:50:37.199 conversation with Katherine, what would you say to her? 2079 01:50:37.880 --> 01:50:38.359 I love you. 2080 01:50:39.720 --> 01:50:42.600 I would hug her and I would tell her I 2081 01:50:42.640 --> 01:50:45.359 love her, but she already knows that, but I would 2082 01:50:45.399 --> 01:50:48.560 tell her I love her.

Another great New 2107 01:51:59.600 --> 01:52:02.239 York page who's out there with me in the streets 2108 01:52:02.359 --> 01:52:06.199 yelling and screaming every day about this terrible mayor, is 2109 01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:08.439 about to join me next. I believe it's his first 2110 01:52:08.720 --> 01:52:13.479 public appearance. He takes his stuff so close to heart, 2111 01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:18.319 but he actually had a heart attack last week. Our 2112 01:52:18.399 --> 01:52:22.319 dear friend, the amazing artist, the activist, I love him 2113 01:52:22.319 --> 01:52:25.760 so much. Scott Lobato, Sid and. 2114 01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:29.880 Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 2115 01:52:30.840 --> 01:52:35.520 Congratulations, my big beautiful Bill wins at Saratoga yesterday. Well, 2116 01:52:35.560 --> 01:52:38.560 we all know the news. The activist, the amazing artist, 2117 01:52:38.680 --> 01:52:41.439 my dear friend. I'm just a great guy and a 2118 01:52:41.439 --> 01:52:44.800 great fighter for this city. I mean, Scott Lobato. He 2119 01:52:44.880 --> 01:52:46.760 was at a rally last week, so I mean for 2120 01:52:46.800 --> 01:52:50.560 the Cops night out. I'm Donnie was there. People saw 2121 01:52:50.720 --> 01:52:54.279 Scott going nuts on the mayor. He went so nuts 2122 01:52:54.279 --> 01:52:56.840 the mayor even mentioned him during the speech. Now, the 2123 01:52:56.920 --> 01:53:00.560 speech was supposed to be relatively long, was over in 2124 01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:03.760 like ten seconds because Scott and the people of Staten 2125 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:06.920 Island literally booed this mother effort off the stage. But 2126 01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:09.880 he did get Libto's name in there. And then long 2127 01:53:09.960 --> 01:53:15.079 after that, my friend Scott collapsed and he died for 2128 01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:17.479 two minutes. He actually flatlined for two minutes. He was dead. 2129 01:53:18.520 --> 01:53:21.800 Thank god, EMS brought him back to life, and only 2130 01:53:21.800 --> 01:53:24.279 a couple of hours after that he was giving the 2131 01:53:24.319 --> 01:53:26.920 finger and the picture. But through this he wasn't doing 2132 01:53:26.920 --> 01:53:29.760 all that great. I don't know how bad it got. 2133 01:53:29.760 --> 01:53:31.239 I know that he he went home on Friday, but 2134 01:53:31.279 --> 01:53:33.640 he didn't feel well on Friday. So let's get all 2135 01:53:33.640 --> 01:53:37.319 the particulars right now with a legitimate hero. And all 2136 01:53:37.359 --> 01:53:40.279 my listeners that are fans of mine are fans of his, 2137 01:53:40.800 --> 01:53:43.720 and they've been really worried. I get messages every day. 2138 01:53:43.720 --> 01:53:46.319 I mean it now, I love this guy, Scott Lobato, 2139 01:53:46.399 --> 01:53:49.039 Scotty good morning, pal. Let's start with this. Brought up 2140 01:53:49.039 --> 01:53:50.359 the bat. How you feeling. 2141 01:53:51.720 --> 01:53:52.279 I'm okay. 2142 01:53:55.000 --> 01:53:57.119 I like that, you, you know, being all nice and 2143 01:53:57.159 --> 01:53:59.760 LOVEYV to me now. And when two days ago you 2144 01:53:59.800 --> 01:54:04.119 called me a loser and my blood pressure up again 2145 01:54:04.319 --> 01:54:06.760 while I'm laying in bad dying. 2146 01:54:07.640 --> 01:54:09.720 And it wasn't because I was angry, because I was 2147 01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:12.119 laughing my ass off because I know what you were doing. 2148 01:54:12.239 --> 01:54:15.439 Yeah, you know, I really got so upset. I started 2149 01:54:15.439 --> 01:54:18.199 to cry. When Frank Marno called me and Tobacco texted me, 2150 01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:20.439 and I said, I gotta have fun. Thank god you alive. 2151 01:54:20.439 --> 01:54:22.119 I mean, if God forbid it was worse, I wouldn't 2152 01:54:22.119 --> 01:54:23.880 have done that. But I said, he's got such a 2153 01:54:23.880 --> 01:54:25.760 great sense of humor, so what kind of loser? I 2154 01:54:25.760 --> 01:54:28.520 was a autotime from that guy. But to be honest, 2155 01:54:28.600 --> 01:54:31.119 I was frightfully worried. I'm glad you've got a great 2156 01:54:31.119 --> 01:54:33.159 sense of humore. I knew you would take it that way, 2157 01:54:33.840 --> 01:54:34.800 but I was only kidding. 2158 01:54:34.840 --> 01:54:38.119 The best was the best was the crew. The crew 2159 01:54:38.159 --> 01:54:38.600 that's there. 2160 01:54:38.680 --> 01:54:40.680 They were like, you were like, don't you agree? And 2161 01:54:40.720 --> 01:54:46.000 everybody just hesitated, and then eventually they did because they 2162 01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:47.520 don't get paid if they don't agree with. 2163 01:54:47.920 --> 01:54:52.640 Yeah, initially they were horrified. They're like, Sid, you can't 2164 01:54:52.680 --> 01:54:57.199 say he's a loser. Well tell me this. When you 2165 01:54:57.479 --> 01:55:01.960 arrived that night, at any point during that day or 2166 01:55:02.000 --> 01:55:05.760 even moments before you collapse, did you feel ill? Did 2167 01:55:05.800 --> 01:55:07.039 you feel anything. 2168 01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:09.840 In the last couple of weeks. I wasn't feeling good. 2169 01:55:09.960 --> 01:55:11.199 And apparently I. 2170 01:55:11.239 --> 01:55:14.279 Found out this was a long time coming. I had 2171 01:55:14.279 --> 01:55:16.680 some issues in the past, and I think I remember 2172 01:55:17.319 --> 01:55:19.840 a couple of years ago. Uh, even when I was 2173 01:55:19.880 --> 01:55:21.159 on your show, I mentioned something. 2174 01:55:21.199 --> 01:55:24.000 But anyway, by buddy, but you never had a heart 2175 01:55:24.000 --> 01:55:25.560 attack before, you had some issues. 2176 01:55:25.640 --> 01:55:29.279 Apparently I did. I did, but I didn't really you know, 2177 01:55:29.640 --> 01:55:31.800 I wasn't it was, but it wasn't, but it was. 2178 01:55:31.880 --> 01:55:33.159 I found out now, my. 2179 01:55:33.239 --> 01:55:35.319 God, so you know, I mean, but so you didn't 2180 01:55:35.319 --> 01:55:38.960 even realize it at the time. So this was your 2181 01:55:39.000 --> 01:55:40.640 second heart attack a couple of days ago. 2182 01:55:41.439 --> 01:55:43.880 Yeah, I kind of, yeah, this one was the one. 2183 01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:46.319 This was the big one. But it was coming. 2184 01:55:46.439 --> 01:55:49.479 And again, everything is like clear, I don't need any 2185 01:55:49.520 --> 01:55:52.520 stense my audience, even with all the stuff I put 2186 01:55:52.600 --> 01:55:55.600 my body over these years. I quit smoking two years ago. 2187 01:55:56.840 --> 01:55:58.039 But everything is good. 2188 01:55:58.079 --> 01:55:58.920 My heart is perfect. 2189 01:55:59.119 --> 01:56:01.399 Everything the muscles are except this one scar that just 2190 01:56:01.479 --> 01:56:03.319 keeps the electricity from crossing over. 2191 01:56:03.680 --> 01:56:04.439 Blah blah blah. 2192 01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:06.520 Right, long story, but thank god I was where I 2193 01:56:06.640 --> 01:56:08.600 was right because there were people there. 2194 01:56:08.680 --> 01:56:13.319 Right. So do you remember, Scott, like a second before 2195 01:56:13.359 --> 01:56:16.479 you collapsed, did you feel bad? Did you feel anything 2196 01:56:16.560 --> 01:56:20.000 or you just went from yelling and screaming to going unconscious. 2197 01:56:20.880 --> 01:56:23.199 Well, I just kept screaming and yelling until he was 2198 01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:25.359 even off the stage, he was heading to his car, 2199 01:56:25.760 --> 01:56:29.359 and then I just felt, wait a minute, I'm the saint, right, 2200 01:56:29.479 --> 01:56:31.560 let me go take a little breather. And then I 2201 01:56:31.600 --> 01:56:33.159 went to the grass and I told a buddy of 2202 01:56:33.159 --> 01:56:34.880 mine and I was there. I said, I don't feel good. 2203 01:56:34.920 --> 01:56:36.800 So you felt hit the ground and that was it. 2204 01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:37.439 That was it. 2205 01:56:37.479 --> 01:56:39.119 And then so you did feel something and then you 2206 01:56:39.199 --> 01:56:43.199 hit the ground. You're unconscious now, I was told by witnesses, Scott, 2207 01:56:43.520 --> 01:56:46.079 because you're a tough guy, you really are that you 2208 01:56:46.479 --> 01:56:49.800 actually kind of lifted yourself up onto the gurney even 2209 01:56:49.800 --> 01:56:51.399 though the MS guy. So I take it easy, Take 2210 01:56:51.439 --> 01:56:53.800 it easy, Scott. You You're like, no, no, I got this. 2211 01:56:53.960 --> 01:56:54.960 So do you remember doing all that? 2212 01:56:56.000 --> 01:57:00.039 No? No, don't. I don't remember waking up, you know, wow. 2213 01:57:00.000 --> 01:57:01.600 Do you just remember waking up in the hospital? 2214 01:57:01.640 --> 01:57:03.199 Was that it? Yeah? 2215 01:57:03.239 --> 01:57:05.800 I mean a little bit of in the ambulance, but 2216 01:57:06.359 --> 01:57:08.720 I don't, you know, I just remember in the hospital, 2217 01:57:08.720 --> 01:57:12.439 surrounded by six beautiful nurses, and I was like, all right, 2218 01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:15.600 Heaven's okay, Heaven's okay. 2219 01:57:16.680 --> 01:57:18.800 You know, Northwell as a great hospital they tried. 2220 01:57:18.920 --> 01:57:23.199 Honestly, I'm gonna individually, personally in person thank you know, 2221 01:57:23.239 --> 01:57:26.840 the NYPD medics and Ariy Weiss actually nice Jewish man, 2222 01:57:26.920 --> 01:57:29.479 everybody who likes the Jews. Saved my life, helped save 2223 01:57:29.560 --> 01:57:32.560 my life and the people at the hospital. But he's 2224 01:57:32.560 --> 01:57:35.880 going to get individually thank for me. But the irony is, 2225 01:57:36.880 --> 01:57:38.760 you know, yeah, I would have been wherever he came. 2226 01:57:39.079 --> 01:57:43.159 But this was a pro cop evening. And this guy 2227 01:57:43.439 --> 01:57:46.159 hates cops, as we know, more than the last two 2228 01:57:46.159 --> 01:57:47.279 mayors who hated cops. 2229 01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:48.880 You know, he cuts them. 2230 01:57:48.760 --> 01:57:51.359 He cuts the funding, he aumiliates them, he puts them 2231 01:57:51.359 --> 01:57:54.319 in danger, and he has the audacity and that's what 2232 01:57:54.399 --> 01:57:56.960 he is. He has the audacity to come to these events. 2233 01:57:57.560 --> 01:57:59.920 So I got a group of my friends and I said, listen, 2234 01:58:00.239 --> 01:58:01.560 all I want to make sure we do is an 2235 01:58:01.600 --> 01:58:04.680 old time, old school bronch chair. I want him booed 2236 01:58:04.800 --> 01:58:07.760 so loudly that he does not get to speak, and 2237 01:58:07.760 --> 01:58:10.760 that way you humiliate him. And that's exactly what we did. 2238 01:58:10.960 --> 01:58:13.760 It really really worked. It was an old school it's awesome, 2239 01:58:13.840 --> 01:58:16.840 you know. Yeah, and you know and then there's you know, everybody, 2240 01:58:16.920 --> 01:58:20.319 you are Scott's nova. He's hanging up his sword. And 2241 01:58:20.359 --> 01:58:22.840 then the next day I called my manager and I 2242 01:58:22.920 --> 01:58:25.239 charted a plane to fly a banner over the city. 2243 01:58:25.399 --> 01:58:28.039 That was awesome too. Yeah. I mean everybody put that 2244 01:58:28.159 --> 01:58:30.079 up on their Instagram page and they go, look at 2245 01:58:30.079 --> 01:58:33.199 this guy Scott, even on a hospital bed, he's still fighting. 2246 01:58:33.319 --> 01:58:34.920 You know this is going to sound crazy, I know 2247 01:58:35.000 --> 01:58:38.840 it is, but yeah, no, look, you know he knows 2248 01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:40.680 you don't like him, and he doesn't like you, even 2249 01:58:40.720 --> 01:58:42.640 though he called you his buddy in that speech. But 2250 01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:45.479 you know what, you you really did have a very 2251 01:58:45.520 --> 01:58:48.319 scary event. So it sounds like a crazy question, but 2252 01:58:48.359 --> 01:58:51.000 it's not. How's the mayor reached out to you? See 2253 01:58:51.039 --> 01:58:51.640 if you're okay? 2254 01:58:51.760 --> 01:58:53.199 No, no, no. 2255 01:58:54.159 --> 01:58:58.039 There was some funny memes, AI memes going around a 2256 01:58:58.039 --> 01:59:00.319 lot of hate too. Man, it's amazing how much people 2257 01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:02.720 are evil. I remember when I think he even wrote 2258 01:59:02.720 --> 01:59:05.600 it up on your show here when Uh President Biden 2259 01:59:05.760 --> 01:59:09.000 was diagnosed answer or whatever, and I said, look, I 2260 01:59:09.039 --> 01:59:11.159 hate this guy.

But it's amazing that people like Scotch should 2266 01:59:20.560 --> 01:59:21.479 have died and all of this. 2267 01:59:21.560 --> 01:59:22.199 Oh my god. 2268 01:59:22.800 --> 01:59:24.920 But there were some cool memes with the mayor in 2269 01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:27.479 my hospital room where to get well called the man 2270 01:59:27.520 --> 01:59:30.119 he teach it, you know, funny shit, funny shit. 2271 01:59:30.239 --> 01:59:32.920 What if he actually did I know what, He'd never 2272 01:59:32.960 --> 01:59:34.920 happened because he hates you, he hates me. And then 2273 01:59:35.159 --> 01:59:36.600 we got that in common, which is you have a 2274 01:59:36.600 --> 01:59:38.479 lot in common. But if he actually did reach out 2275 01:59:38.520 --> 01:59:39.399 to you, would you take the call? 2276 01:59:40.840 --> 01:59:41.720 Yeah, I would take the call. 2277 01:59:41.760 --> 01:59:43.239 And then I would give him, you know, well, I 2278 01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:44.840 would give him a piece of my mind and tell 2279 01:59:44.880 --> 01:59:49.600 him number one, number one, the first and most important thing, 2280 01:59:51.680 --> 01:59:54.479 stay the f away from ground zero, right, And I 2281 01:59:54.520 --> 01:59:55.359 want to move into that. 2282 01:59:55.439 --> 01:59:56.159 You know, I I. 2283 01:59:58.159 --> 02:00:01.600 Disagree with Blakeman.

If not, 2286 02:00:09.039 --> 02:00:11.720 the mayor is listening, his people are listening. Day I 2287 02:00:12.520 --> 02:00:14.640 want to take this. I want to take this moment 2288 02:00:14.680 --> 02:00:18.359 to reach out to the mayor. And you know he's 2289 02:00:18.399 --> 02:00:21.520 going to continue to joy this, destroy the city. Guys 2290 02:00:21.600 --> 02:00:23.960 like you and me and some others are going to 2291 02:00:24.000 --> 02:00:28.000 be the resilience, constantly be the resilience to save the 2292 02:00:28.000 --> 02:00:30.319 city against him. But I would like to call on 2293 02:00:30.399 --> 02:00:34.680 a cease fire for one day, one tiny day, and 2294 02:00:34.760 --> 02:00:37.439 that day is September eleventh, because I got a lot 2295 02:00:37.439 --> 02:00:40.359 of heat and I don't care, you know, for promising 2296 02:00:40.439 --> 02:00:42.720 to show up on nine to eleven if he shows 2297 02:00:42.800 --> 02:00:45.000 up to humiliate him, and if it has to be 2298 02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:46.960 a scene made, it has to be a scene made. 2299 02:00:47.520 --> 02:00:50.880 But I'm willing because it's not about me. And people said, Scott, 2300 02:00:50.880 --> 02:00:53.920 don't make this about you. It's not about me. So 2301 02:00:54.159 --> 02:00:56.920 I will be the first one to start this cease 2302 02:00:57.000 --> 02:01:00.560 fire for that one day, and the next day we 2303 02:01:00.600 --> 02:01:03.439 could start this war again, but one day I won't. 2304 02:01:03.520 --> 02:01:06.439 I am not showing up on September eleventh, and I'll 2305 02:01:06.439 --> 02:01:09.039 tell my people not to show up on September eleventh 2306 02:01:09.399 --> 02:01:12.560 if that guy this Maya comes out in the next 2307 02:01:12.560 --> 02:01:15.800 few days and makes an announcement and just says I'm 2308 02:01:15.800 --> 02:01:17.479 not showing up because. 2309 02:01:17.239 --> 02:01:21.119 It'll put everybody at ease. It'll show that he's got some. 2310 02:01:22.439 --> 02:01:25.800 Aspect of humanity and hono for these people on nine 2311 02:01:25.800 --> 02:01:28.319 to eleven. That's all he needs to do, because if 2312 02:01:28.359 --> 02:01:30.840 he doesn't, it's going to be a horror show. 2313 02:01:31.439 --> 02:01:33.680 Sobe he doesn't do that, because I don't think he's 2314 02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:34.960 going to do it, because he doesn't even have a 2315 02:01:35.000 --> 02:01:37.079 spec of humanity. He's a real low life and a 2316 02:01:37.079 --> 02:01:39.520 horrible person. If he does show up, then you are 2317 02:01:39.560 --> 02:01:41.039 going to be there. You are going to be there. 2318 02:01:41.439 --> 02:01:44.479 No, no, no, no, he's not going to show up 2319 02:01:44.840 --> 02:01:48.359 because what the last guests discussed, more people need to 2320 02:01:48.359 --> 02:01:51.880 get on board every single day, bigger and more powerful people. 2321 02:01:52.119 --> 02:01:54.520 And I'm not even meaning Donald Trump. I'm meeting part 2322 02:01:54.560 --> 02:02:00.399 of these families, these organizations, the city people, politicians, and 2323 02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:03.119 stop saying if he shows up, we turn our backs, 2324 02:02:03.319 --> 02:02:06.039 we keep him whatever it takes to keep him from going. 2325 02:02:06.600 --> 02:02:08.760 But the message they need to reach out to him. 2326 02:02:09.000 --> 02:02:11.479 He needs to just step up and be that person. 2327 02:02:11.800 --> 02:02:16.399 That's what needs to happen. He cannot show up. He'll 2328 02:02:16.439 --> 02:02:19.239 put everybody at ease just for the next couple of 2329 02:02:19.239 --> 02:02:22.239 weeks so we could build up to this very special moment, 2330 02:02:22.560 --> 02:02:27.239 this very special twenty fifth anniversary and the museum. We 2331 02:02:27.319 --> 02:02:29.880 need to put more pressure on the museum because they're 2332 02:02:29.920 --> 02:02:32.680 not putting my flag up that they promised it was 2333 02:02:32.720 --> 02:02:35.319 going to go up now I think it's too offensive, 2334 02:02:35.399 --> 02:02:37.279 but that they're going to have this guy there, the 2335 02:02:37.399 --> 02:02:40.279 museum needs to be held responsible and more pressure on 2336 02:02:40.359 --> 02:02:40.840 the museum. 2337 02:02:40.880 --> 02:02:42.640 I agree with all that too, man. I agree with 2338 02:02:42.680 --> 02:02:44.520 that your flag should be there, and they're going to 2339 02:02:44.640 --> 02:02:47.439 allow this guy to show up, and look, I'm with you, 2340 02:02:47.560 --> 02:02:50.039 he shouldn't be there. He won't be there. That's the 2341 02:02:50.119 --> 02:02:52.399 end of it. We're gonna move on as if the 2342 02:02:52.439 --> 02:02:54.720 mayor is not going to be there, and we'll take 2343 02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:56.640 it from there. You know, one thing I did see 2344 02:02:56.680 --> 02:02:59.159 the last week, Scott, and I know you're a tough 2345 02:02:59.159 --> 02:03:01.399 guy and all that, but you know you're a sweet guy. 2346 02:03:01.479 --> 02:03:05.640 I know you really well at this point, and to 2347 02:03:05.720 --> 02:03:11.199 see the I guess the love that came your way 2348 02:03:11.680 --> 02:03:13.560 over the leads last couple of days. I know you're 2349 02:03:13.560 --> 02:03:15.920 not looking for that. I get it. But when you're 2350 02:03:15.960 --> 02:03:18.560 laying in the hospital bed at home this morning, for example, 2351 02:03:19.079 --> 02:03:22.279 and you see thousands and maybe one hundreds of thousands, 2352 02:03:22.279 --> 02:03:25.359 maybe millions, I don't know at this point worried about 2353 02:03:25.359 --> 02:03:28.039 you and loving you, how good is that feel? 2354 02:03:29.199 --> 02:03:31.680 It's it helped me a lot, helped me a lot. 2355 02:03:31.760 --> 02:03:34.119 And I'll get a nice call from Rudy Giuliani left me, 2356 02:03:34.199 --> 02:03:36.079 just long message, and that's great. 2357 02:03:36.199 --> 02:03:38.439 So many, so many awesome people. Man, really it was. 2358 02:03:39.119 --> 02:03:40.439 It's a special thing to know. 2359 02:03:40.560 --> 02:03:41.600 You know. You don't think about it. 2360 02:03:41.640 --> 02:03:44.920 You just your brain just keeps going and going and going, 2361 02:03:45.000 --> 02:03:46.840 and your heart keeps going and going and going, and 2362 02:03:46.880 --> 02:03:48.760 you just keep doing and doing. You don't have time 2363 02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:52.159 to think about you know what you're doing. But you 2364 02:03:52.199 --> 02:03:54.000 know you have no choice but to sit there and 2365 02:03:54.479 --> 02:03:56.800 finally read the comments and read the well wishes and 2366 02:03:56.800 --> 02:04:00.399 stuff on uh, pretty tremendous stuff, and making a different 2367 02:04:01.119 --> 02:04:05.159 apologize to all those people who own my work and 2368 02:04:05.319 --> 02:04:07.760 thought for a few minutes that they were millionaires. 2369 02:04:11.640 --> 02:04:15.399 It God not yet, not yet, God forbid. I've got 2370 02:04:15.399 --> 02:04:17.359 three pieces of your art, so I'd like to keep 2371 02:04:17.359 --> 02:04:20.479 you around again a fourth if you wouldn't mind. That's 2372 02:04:20.760 --> 02:04:22.880 that's how great you are and how important you are 2373 02:04:22.960 --> 02:04:25.720 and the difference that you do make here on a 2374 02:04:25.800 --> 02:04:28.159 daily basis. So the other question to keep getting asked 2375 02:04:28.319 --> 02:04:30.960 is what can Scott not do anymore? We used to 2376 02:04:31.000 --> 02:04:33.079 seeing Scott walk up to the campus sometimes with a 2377 02:04:33.119 --> 02:04:36.560 glass of Scotch. People thought you did still smoke, So 2378 02:04:36.800 --> 02:04:38.880 I guess that's that's out for two years. What about 2379 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:41.520 the drinking? How the doctor said you can't do certain 2380 02:04:41.600 --> 02:04:43.199 things that you like to do. 2381 02:04:44.680 --> 02:04:47.439 Nope, I mean I, like I said, everybody, you know 2382 02:04:47.880 --> 02:04:49.560 you'll see me once in a while chewing on his 2383 02:04:49.640 --> 02:04:52.439 little switch of sweet cigar that I do not inhale 2384 02:04:52.600 --> 02:04:54.880 once in a blue moon. That's just a fix that 2385 02:04:54.920 --> 02:04:57.640 you hold, just a whole something. But now I quit 2386 02:04:57.680 --> 02:05:00.720 smoking two weeks two years ago. All those people, but 2387 02:05:00.840 --> 02:05:02.760 you know, tell me how to you know you live 2388 02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:05.000 your life? You're doing this wrong, you know. Meanwhile, I 2389 02:05:05.039 --> 02:05:08.239 know they're eating sausage and peppercal zone with a side 2390 02:05:08.239 --> 02:05:10.479 stick of butter. You know, do as I say, not 2391 02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:13.640 as I do. It had nothing to do with this 2392 02:05:13.800 --> 02:05:16.279 was just something that was coming stressed. 2393 02:05:15.840 --> 02:05:16.399 As a killer. 2394 02:05:16.880 --> 02:05:18.760 I have a lot of energy, a lot of passion 2395 02:05:18.960 --> 02:05:22.880 and it you know, it's I just gotta The beauty 2396 02:05:22.920 --> 02:05:26.439 about me is as an artist is that I have 2397 02:05:26.520 --> 02:05:30.039 the creativity to do the same, if not more, without 2398 02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:35.079 jumping and scream the things popping out like I did 2399 02:05:35.119 --> 02:05:38.079 with that charter that said ma'am dandy staying away from 2400 02:05:38.079 --> 02:05:40.079 ground zero. So they're gonna be a lot more to 2401 02:05:40.119 --> 02:05:45.199 come reevaluate, but uh, just re re redo everything, recharge. 2402 02:05:46.199 --> 02:05:49.600 I'm already I gat another week to get back to normal. Uh. 2403 02:05:49.640 --> 02:05:51.560 You know, cal won't be able to swing golf club 2404 02:05:51.600 --> 02:05:55.640 because I got this uh flex capacitated thing inside me here. 2405 02:05:56.840 --> 02:05:59.960 Uh but it's a it's amazing. It's amazing how how 2406 02:06:00.159 --> 02:06:02.560 things up. But now I'm not going anyway. 2407 02:06:02.600 --> 02:06:03.359 I'm not hanging up. 2408 02:06:03.239 --> 02:06:06.399 My sword, just going to take a little rest and 2409 02:06:06.880 --> 02:06:09.000 keep fighting. But I'm going to make sure that this 2410 02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:11.159 guy does not coming to ground zero. And I will 2411 02:06:11.159 --> 02:06:13.319 be at that press conference on the eighth, even if 2412 02:06:13.319 --> 02:06:15.720 I'm in the background. That's going to be a big day. 2413 02:06:15.760 --> 02:06:16.600 I think that will be. 2414 02:06:16.720 --> 02:06:19.439 If he still says he's coming, that would be the 2415 02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:20.479 day to stop him. 2416 02:06:20.960 --> 02:06:22.760 You will not be in the background. You'll be standing 2417 02:06:22.800 --> 02:06:23.840 right up front with me and Bruce. 2418 02:06:23.840 --> 02:06:25.039 You're not going to be in the background. 2419 02:06:25.159 --> 02:06:27.720 You're never the background.

You remember that show handsome 2517 02:11:25.840 --> 02:11:29.159 guy Will Handsome, And I kept hearing his name for weeks. 2518 02:11:29.199 --> 02:11:31.640 I never met him. Didn't know much about him, but 2519 02:11:31.880 --> 02:11:34.199 loved him that night. I loved him.

She stood up 2548 02:12:44.039 --> 02:12:46.960 actually one of her fundraisers for governor. I was invited 2549 02:12:47.000 --> 02:12:48.199 to it to even though I was a fundraiser. I 2550 02:12:48.239 --> 02:12:50.680 met her through some music stuff. She's a huge supporter 2551 02:12:50.720 --> 02:12:52.239 of the arts and as a musician. I very much 2552 02:12:52.279 --> 02:12:55.199 appreciate that. And she actually that is a huge surprise 2553 02:12:55.239 --> 02:12:57.199 to me, had me stand up and said, if you 2554 02:12:57.199 --> 02:12:59.359 don't know James Manser, you should know him. He's a 2555 02:12:59.439 --> 02:13:02.439 huge advocate for this country. He's a huge advocate against 2556 02:13:02.479 --> 02:13:04.920 anti Semitism. 2557 02:13:04.000 --> 02:13:04.920 And for Jews. 2558 02:13:05.479 --> 02:13:08.920 And man, I was extremely complimented. So I'm proud to 2559 02:13:08.920 --> 02:13:09.960 say that she's a friend. 2560 02:13:10.359 --> 02:13:13.680 That's awesome. I like that story. So you're out there 2561 02:13:13.720 --> 02:13:15.640 fighting every day. You were at that event with me 2562 02:13:15.800 --> 02:13:18.039 and Darren Molin and Bruce Pearl and all these great 2563 02:13:18.119 --> 02:13:20.880 Jewish people in Laura Manhattan. Not that long ago, and 2564 02:13:20.880 --> 02:13:22.680 I'll ask you the same question that I used to 2565 02:13:22.720 --> 02:13:25.319 ask my dear friend Michael Rappaport, who's answered a million 2566 02:13:25.359 --> 02:13:27.800 times at this point. You know, Michael went through a lot. 2567 02:13:27.840 --> 02:13:29.840 He was canceled. He's got a new documentary out which 2568 02:13:29.880 --> 02:13:33.119 is amazing something to the extent of him, I canceled 2569 02:13:33.239 --> 02:13:35.560 yet something like that, and I've seen it and it 2570 02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:38.039 made me cry. But he really was canceled. He could 2571 02:13:38.039 --> 02:13:40.479 not get any acting opportunities for the better part of 2572 02:13:40.520 --> 02:13:43.920 two years. And the way you fight like that, like Michael, 2573 02:13:44.039 --> 02:13:47.039 like me, I'd imagine you came under the same issue. 2574 02:13:47.319 --> 02:13:49.600 So what are you doing about that these days? 2575 02:13:51.239 --> 02:13:51.399 Oh? 2576 02:13:51.399 --> 02:13:53.800 Look, I'm just continuing to put arts out into the world. 2577 02:13:54.319 --> 02:13:57.239 You know, I appreciate Michael Rapperford very much. He's certainly 2578 02:13:57.239 --> 02:14:00.640 more aggressive on the issues, as are you and myself, 2579 02:14:00.640 --> 02:14:03.279 And I appreciate you guys. But for me, I've been 2580 02:14:03.520 --> 02:14:06.840 very outspoken. But as an actor, as a musician, as 2581 02:14:06.840 --> 02:14:09.399 somebody who has created art and seen people come together 2582 02:14:09.439 --> 02:14:11.920 through our through music, through TV shows and movies, I 2583 02:14:11.960 --> 02:14:13.520 want to continue to do that. I want to bring 2584 02:14:13.560 --> 02:14:16.079 people together. So I want to bring people to this 2585 02:14:16.119 --> 02:14:18.880 conversation actually have a conversation about it, not just fight 2586 02:14:18.880 --> 02:14:21.039 about it and yell about it, but hopefully come together 2587 02:14:21.119 --> 02:14:22.600 and solve it. And I take a great way from 2588 02:14:22.640 --> 02:14:25.640 an American perspective to do that is to come together, 2589 02:14:25.720 --> 02:14:28.119 regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, and say, hey, 2590 02:14:28.159 --> 02:14:31.960 we've done pretty good so far. Look around from history's perspective, 2591 02:14:31.960 --> 02:14:34.880 look around the world today. This is the greatest place 2592 02:14:35.159 --> 02:14:36.920 in the world to live in, the greatest place that 2593 02:14:36.960 --> 02:14:39.359 it's ever been to live in. So let's start by 2594 02:14:39.399 --> 02:14:41.640 saying we're grateful to be here and then come together 2595 02:14:41.680 --> 02:14:44.000 and make it better. That love perspective, and if anybody 2596 02:14:44.039 --> 02:14:45.840 fights against that, it's just a little ridiculous. Why are 2597 02:14:45.840 --> 02:14:47.920 we trying to spread people, you know, put people against 2598 02:14:47.960 --> 02:14:49.640 each other. I want people to come together and start 2599 02:14:49.640 --> 02:14:50.640 with a little bit of gratitude. 2600 02:14:50.680 --> 02:14:52.720 I love that. I don't. I mean, it's a ot gay. 2601 02:14:52.720 --> 02:14:54.079 I'm not gonna lie to you, but I love it. 2602 02:14:54.880 --> 02:14:55.760 Hey, you know that's right. 2603 02:14:55.760 --> 02:14:57.439 I'm in a boy band something called Worse. 2604 02:14:58.319 --> 02:15:01.079 You really are a boy bend all these young girls. 2605 02:15:01.119 --> 02:15:03.479 I remember my friend Alex brought And who works for 2606 02:15:04.520 --> 02:15:09.119 Brooke Wallin's. She made us put you on a FaceTime 2607 02:15:09.159 --> 02:15:11.039 the night that I saw you at that event. All 2608 02:15:11.079 --> 02:15:14.239 these young kids, they all still love you. And you 2609 02:15:14.279 --> 02:15:15.840 know when they reach out to you, what do they 2610 02:15:15.880 --> 02:15:17.560 say about some of the things you're doing today. 2611 02:15:19.119 --> 02:15:19.319 Cool? 2612 02:15:19.359 --> 02:15:21.520 Look, if you look on social media and look online, 2613 02:15:21.520 --> 02:15:23.760 there's a lot of hateful comments. I mean, I get 2614 02:15:23.840 --> 02:15:26.960 death threats just for being Jewish. It really isn't about 2615 02:15:26.960 --> 02:15:29.319 what I say anymore. Say it's about who I am. 2616 02:15:29.319 --> 02:15:31.279 It's about how I was born. I get death threats 2617 02:15:31.319 --> 02:15:33.079 are being proud to be American, which to me is 2618 02:15:33.079 --> 02:15:37.359 absolutely ridiculous. But that's because the loudest voices come from 2619 02:15:37.359 --> 02:15:38.800 all over the world and they have nothing better to 2620 02:15:38.840 --> 02:15:41.319 do but to be online and to behaveful but in person, 2621 02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:44.680 every single day I get stuffed regardless of where I 2622 02:15:44.760 --> 02:15:47.159 am in the world, and get thanked. I get thanked 2623 02:15:47.199 --> 02:15:50.000 for standing up. I get thanked for speaking out. And 2624 02:15:50.199 --> 02:15:52.520 those people mean a lot more to me than the 2625 02:15:52.520 --> 02:15:55.439 people that think I should die because I'm Jewish, should 2626 02:15:55.479 --> 02:15:57.680 die because I believe Israel has the right to exist. 2627 02:15:57.880 --> 02:16:00.119 Well, to your credit, you know you mentioned me and 2628 02:16:00.199 --> 02:16:02.359 I'm a bit of a psycho, I admitted, than Michael, 2629 02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:05.560 You're excellent. No, I mean No, you're You're excellent. You 2630 02:16:05.600 --> 02:16:07.680 were up on stage that night and you blew me away, 2631 02:16:08.399 --> 02:16:10.920 and I like the way you deliver No, I mean it. 2632 02:16:10.920 --> 02:16:12.560 I mean you're a great looking guy, and you know, 2633 02:16:12.560 --> 02:16:15.079 you've got a great personality. You're an actor, you're a performer. 2634 02:16:15.600 --> 02:16:19.880 But the way you deliver your remarks is well done. 2635 02:16:19.960 --> 02:16:23.279 It is well done. It's very hard not to like you, 2636 02:16:23.399 --> 02:16:25.600 even if you do eight Jews or Americans and the 2637 02:16:25.600 --> 02:16:27.680 rest of that stuff. No, I mean it, I mean 2638 02:16:27.720 --> 02:16:29.880 you just you have a way of doing it where 2639 02:16:29.960 --> 02:16:33.639 you know you're you're likable me. They're like, oh that, 2640 02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:36.559 I can't die soon enough. But to your credit, you 2641 02:16:36.559 --> 02:16:38.559 do have Maybe it's the Tennessee. I don't, but you're 2642 02:16:38.559 --> 02:16:40.280 not from Tennessee. Where are you from? Originally? 2643 02:16:41.040 --> 02:16:42.680 I was actually born in New York City. My whole 2644 02:16:42.680 --> 02:16:44.840 family's from New York. I was born in York Hospital, 2645 02:16:44.879 --> 02:16:46.159 but I moved to San Diego when. 2646 02:16:46.079 --> 02:16:46.479 I was young. 2647 02:16:46.559 --> 02:16:48.760 So I'm more of a so called beach kid and 2648 02:16:48.840 --> 02:16:52.920 somehow found home here in Middle America. But look to 2649 02:16:52.959 --> 02:16:56.559 that point first, Why I appreciate that I've traveled so much. 2650 02:16:56.719 --> 02:16:59.520 I've said my career playing music all over the world, acting, 2651 02:16:59.520 --> 02:17:01.760 getting to live and shovel all over the world. And 2652 02:17:01.760 --> 02:17:03.319 the truth is said, and you'll probably call it a 2653 02:17:03.319 --> 02:17:05.399 little gay, and I'm okay with that. The truth is 2654 02:17:05.639 --> 02:17:09.840 I have seen more commonality. I've seen that most people 2655 02:17:09.920 --> 02:17:12.360 on this planet have more in common than we have differences. 2656 02:17:12.559 --> 02:17:14.520 So I want to focus on that. I want to 2657 02:17:14.520 --> 02:17:16.479 focus on the things that unite us and bring us together. 2658 02:17:16.760 --> 02:17:19.360 And I'm pretty good with everybody right up until you 2659 02:17:19.440 --> 02:17:22.040 think that, you know, I should die I believe in 2660 02:17:22.079 --> 02:17:22.719 or I should die for. 2661 02:17:22.680 --> 02:17:23.159 Where I live. 2662 02:17:23.559 --> 02:17:25.920 That's where I stop him. You know, I'm gonna try 2663 02:17:26.000 --> 02:17:27.319 to swear on the show. I don't know if that's allowed, 2664 02:17:27.360 --> 02:17:29.319 to tell you to a f off right, Yeah, until 2665 02:17:29.360 --> 02:17:33.159 that point. Until that point, truthfully, I do want to 2666 02:17:33.159 --> 02:17:35.360 bring people together because I think there's more of us 2667 02:17:35.360 --> 02:17:37.879 that think this way and feel this way than there aren't. 2668 02:17:38.040 --> 02:17:40.000 Well, I'll tell you this. I had a long conversation 2669 02:17:40.040 --> 02:17:42.799 with my friend Sean Hannity last week, and you know, 2670 02:17:42.840 --> 02:17:45.840 we're talking about the mayor mom Donnie, and you know, 2671 02:17:45.959 --> 02:17:48.680 Sean has his feelings. He's not a big fan, obviously, 2672 02:17:48.719 --> 02:17:52.680 but he's not nearly as angry and vicious as I am. 2673 02:17:52.680 --> 02:17:54.879 I mean, I called him in a terrorist on Fox News. 2674 02:17:55.120 --> 02:17:57.680 I probably blew any chance of getting back on Fox 2675 02:17:57.719 --> 02:18:00.399 News anytime soon. And to be honest, I don't care 2676 02:18:00.639 --> 02:18:03.399 because I think I explain why he is a terrorist. 2677 02:18:03.559 --> 02:18:06.239 You have to kill somebody aware an exposive. Best to 2678 02:18:06.280 --> 02:18:09.799 be a terrorist, Just share the ideology, celebrate those people. 2679 02:18:09.959 --> 02:18:11.680 That's what mom Donnie does. And I said to show 2680 02:18:11.680 --> 02:18:13.719 and I said, let me tell you something. Tough guy, Okay, 2681 02:18:14.159 --> 02:18:17.479 you live in Palm Beach County. Now, it's real easy 2682 02:18:17.520 --> 02:18:19.760 to be a little less tough when you're not traveling 2683 02:18:19.920 --> 02:18:22.280 into New York City every day. I can say the 2684 02:18:22.399 --> 02:18:24.920 same thing about you. There's love in your heart. You 2685 02:18:24.959 --> 02:18:27.159 want people to get along. But you're in a state 2686 02:18:27.239 --> 02:18:29.920 right now where all the good people are moving to 2687 02:18:30.399 --> 02:18:34.200 imagine being right back here, James Maslow in New York City, 2688 02:18:34.399 --> 02:18:35.680 you may be a bit rougher. 2689 02:18:37.440 --> 02:18:40.559 You're right, You're absolutely right. And I travel enough to 2690 02:18:40.879 --> 02:18:42.760 tell you straight up, I don't feel as safe. I 2691 02:18:42.799 --> 02:18:44.879 don't feel as comfortable a lot of the places I go. 2692 02:18:45.799 --> 02:18:47.440 I was just in part of art. I just played 2693 02:18:47.440 --> 02:18:49.760 a solo show from one of my first headlining solo shows. 2694 02:18:49.760 --> 02:18:51.120 I'm about to put us some country music. 2695 02:18:51.239 --> 02:18:51.479 Wow. 2696 02:18:51.520 --> 02:18:54.040 And I love Mexico. I've played so many shows down there. 2697 02:18:54.079 --> 02:18:56.399 I have been received so well, so much love, some 2698 02:18:56.440 --> 02:18:58.559 of the best service and food and fans in the world. 2699 02:18:59.120 --> 02:19:01.399 But it was a free concert, and that means they 2700 02:19:01.479 --> 02:19:03.920 kind of let anybody in. And it was the first 2701 02:19:03.920 --> 02:19:07.959 time that I experienced this latantly pro Palestinian and anti 2702 02:19:08.200 --> 02:19:10.840 Jew crowd right in front of me, about ten of 2703 02:19:10.840 --> 02:19:13.440 Them'm gonna see you. About three thousands in Mexico up 2704 02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:16.920 genocide signs. Yeah, holding up free Palestine size, holding up 2705 02:19:17.000 --> 02:19:18.280 die Zionists, go home. 2706 02:19:18.399 --> 02:19:18.600 Jew. 2707 02:19:18.600 --> 02:19:23.079 They weren't hiding it, so to your point, yeah, felt 2708 02:19:23.079 --> 02:19:25.079 a lot less safe there. And in New York City, 2709 02:19:25.120 --> 02:19:28.280 I've walked around with my Magen da vid out getting looks, 2710 02:19:28.360 --> 02:19:31.239 getting eyes, and I stand up proud and I wear it. 2711 02:19:31.280 --> 02:19:33.559 But man, you're right, I'm grateful I don't have to 2712 02:19:33.559 --> 02:19:35.639 put up with that every day. That's partially in fact, 2713 02:19:35.639 --> 02:19:37.520 there's a huge part of the reason why they live 2714 02:19:37.559 --> 02:19:40.760 in Nashville. I feel very safe here. My neighbors, Christian neighbors, 2715 02:19:40.840 --> 02:19:45.120 Jewish neighbors, regardless, they're loving, they're supportive, they value the 2716 02:19:45.159 --> 02:19:48.399 same principles as an American living here. And man, the 2717 02:19:48.440 --> 02:19:49.959 older I get, you know, if you're starting a family 2718 02:19:50.000 --> 02:19:52.200 in the near future, God willing getting married this year, 2719 02:19:52.360 --> 02:19:53.879 the more I do want to live in a place 2720 02:19:53.959 --> 02:19:57.879 that shares this pride and that does feel safe. And 2721 02:19:57.920 --> 02:19:59.760 I certainly don't feel the same way in New York City. 2722 02:20:00.319 --> 02:20:00.639 That sucks. 2723 02:20:00.719 --> 02:20:01.760 Is where I was born, and it's one of the 2724 02:20:01.799 --> 02:20:03.959 greatest cities in the world, but it's changing. 2725 02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:08.200 It is well mazotov to you and your fiance. And yes, Tennessee, 2726 02:20:08.239 --> 02:20:10.600 you want a good barbecue, you like your country music, 2727 02:20:10.639 --> 02:20:13.520 you love your college football. I know that I love that. 2728 02:20:13.959 --> 02:20:16.959 I love Nashville, I love most of Tennessee. So on 2729 02:20:17.000 --> 02:20:20.360 the way out here, James, we've had a great nine 2730 02:20:20.360 --> 02:20:24.760 minute discussion. What we've discussed things that are not necessarily optimistic. 2731 02:20:25.280 --> 02:20:27.799 Give me something to make me feel like as we 2732 02:20:27.879 --> 02:20:32.280 get set to commemorate three years October seventh, and even 2733 02:20:32.319 --> 02:20:35.719 on a larger scale, because I am America first twenty 2734 02:20:35.760 --> 02:20:39.360 five years nine to eleven. Outside of the fact that 2735 02:20:39.440 --> 02:20:41.799 you live in a very safe and beautiful place for 2736 02:20:41.840 --> 02:20:44.200 the rest of us, that don't give me a reason 2737 02:20:44.280 --> 02:20:49.200 to be optimistic about the futures of both America and Israel. 2738 02:20:50.959 --> 02:20:52.879 I'll give you a great reason. I was just at 2739 02:20:52.879 --> 02:20:56.360 the mccabie Games, Jacency mccabie Games in Kansas City, and 2740 02:20:56.440 --> 02:20:58.479 I got to speak to and then play some of 2741 02:20:58.520 --> 02:21:03.079 my new country music. First thousands of young athletes and 2742 02:21:03.200 --> 02:21:06.920 predominantly young Jewish athletes. Some maccabie Games like the Jewish Olympics, 2743 02:21:07.399 --> 02:21:10.799 but that wasn't the focus of the games. The focus 2744 02:21:10.959 --> 02:21:14.159 of their games was competition, was leadership, was growing to 2745 02:21:14.239 --> 02:21:16.920 become the people that they want to see in the world. 2746 02:21:17.239 --> 02:21:20.440 That was the conversation, that was the feeling, and man, 2747 02:21:20.479 --> 02:21:23.959 I was motivated. I got to see thousands of young 2748 02:21:24.239 --> 02:21:26.879 boys and girls, men and women from I think thirteen 2749 02:21:26.959 --> 02:21:30.600 to seventeen or eighteen crush it out there, support each 2750 02:21:30.600 --> 02:21:33.280 other out there, dance, sing along to the music, and 2751 02:21:33.319 --> 02:21:35.479 lift each other up. That gave me a lot of 2752 02:21:35.520 --> 02:21:37.639 pride as an American, gave me a lot of pride 2753 02:21:37.680 --> 02:21:40.280 as a Jew. So I believe that there is hope 2754 02:21:40.319 --> 02:21:42.000 because we have to believe that there is hope, and 2755 02:21:42.040 --> 02:21:44.200 we have to spread that hope. Sid and you do 2756 02:21:44.239 --> 02:21:46.239 it in your way. It's a little harsher than I do, 2757 02:21:46.360 --> 02:21:48.399 but I'll do it my way because we need all ways. 2758 02:21:48.399 --> 02:21:49.959 We know Michael rappitpoor will do it in his way. 2759 02:21:50.000 --> 02:21:51.120 It might be harsher than both of us. 2760 02:21:51.840 --> 02:21:52.680 We all do it. 2761 02:21:53.200 --> 02:21:53.719 We got to. 2762 02:21:53.799 --> 02:21:57.920 Keep did support each other, keep putting out some positivity 2763 02:21:57.959 --> 02:22:01.680 and some hope, because what's the alternative despair? 2764 02:22:01.840 --> 02:22:03.600 And we don't want that. What is the name of 2765 02:22:03.639 --> 02:22:04.879 your band again? 2766 02:22:06.239 --> 02:22:07.280 Big Time Rush? 2767 02:22:07.479 --> 02:22:09.440 Oh my god? What how'd you get that name from? 2768 02:22:10.479 --> 02:22:12.280 You know it had some to do it with hockey 2769 02:22:12.360 --> 02:22:15.200 and the TV show. It's a long and fairly boring. 2770 02:22:15.520 --> 02:22:18.440 That's funny. No, that's great, Big Time Rush and James 2771 02:22:18.479 --> 02:22:20.840 Maslow was great on that show. And now he's got 2772 02:22:20.840 --> 02:22:24.159 a band also named Big Time Rush. And trust me, folks, 2773 02:22:24.200 --> 02:22:26.200 you know I don't lie to you. He's just one 2774 02:22:26.239 --> 02:22:29.879 of the nicest, smartest, most handsome. What a terrific guy. 2775 02:22:29.920 --> 02:22:31.799 And I hope this is a first of many, many 2776 02:22:31.840 --> 02:22:34.959 many visits. James Maslow, you were awesome this morning. Thank 2777 02:22:35.000 --> 02:22:36.600 you so much so. 2778 02:22:36.719 --> 02:22:37.520 I appreciate your time. 2779 02:22:37.520 --> 02:22:40.399 Brother, God bless you. That was great, James Maslow right there, 2780 02:22:40.399 --> 02:22:42.159 you loved them, Lewis, didn't you how? 2781 02:22:42.280 --> 02:22:43.000 He's great? 2782 02:22:43.120 --> 02:22:45.399 Yes, smart guy, good looking guy. And you played the song. 2783 02:22:45.479 --> 02:22:47.639 So that's it. Now you got him, and that is 2784 02:22:47.680 --> 02:22:50.639 going to be all for us on this Monday. Now 2785 02:22:50.680 --> 02:22:53.879 you got him. That's it. It's a little gay. Yeah, 2786 02:22:54.000 --> 02:22:56.680 it may be a little gay, but we're done for today. 2787 02:22:56.920 --> 02:22:58.360 It was a heck of a guest list. I were 2788 02:22:58.399 --> 02:23:02.239 two gentlemen who lost their wives on nine to eleven, 2789 02:23:02.440 --> 02:23:06.239 two great guys, Giovanni Galante and Charles Wolf.
