Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from War from Everywhere, USA. It's
Fox Across America with Kimmy Phalon.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh Hot, damn, Here we go, Here we go our
number two on just a Stack Deck episode of Fox
Across America. NFL superstar Jay Feely is going.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
To be joining us.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
He of course, is running for Congress out in Arizona.
Danny Pola, shock superstar, comedian, comedian trying to make nice
before Trump evades his country and makes Canada the fifty
first state. He will stop by as well, and we're
gonna have a grown up talk about the New York
City mayor's race. Why because one, it has national implications
for the whole entire country. If they put a socialist

(00:39):
inside the frickin White House, that.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Can't be good.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
But two, Donald Trump has given a ten day deadline
for Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa to leave the race
and clear the field.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Get him out of here, get him out. I bring
it up.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Why because Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, is going to
be joining us tomorrow night on Fox New Saturday Night
for an exclusive response to Donald Trump's campaign, or at
least the pressure coming from the trump Man to get
out of the race. Really fascinating stuff. We're going to
discuss it all. Obviously, we're going to get into that
food fight they had on Capitol Hill yesterday regarding RFK

(01:15):
and vaccines and Elizabeth Warren and all the cash she's
pocketed over the years. But the point is there's a
lot to get to, So let's do the damn thang
eight at eight seven and eight nine, nine one zero.
If you want to be a part of this hour,
it was a lot like the previous hour. Mediocre it was.
It's going to be very, very mediocre. Honest, I'm kidding

(01:38):
what I mean by the two hours are similar, as
we function under the same guidelines. You're all welcome here
regardless of your political ideology. Agree with me, disagree with me.
I don't care. I am not an activist. I am
a talk show host. So the only request I have
of callers, listeners and everybody in between, I say, be
a Republican, be a Democrat, just don't be a Okay, now,
if we're going to be clear, Zora Myni, the guy

(02:00):
running from mayor in New York City, and anyone else
who supports socialists, yes, they are a bunch of straight
up guy. Socialism has killed two hundred million people around
the world throughout history. It's a real problem. It's never
been successfully implemented. It's never going to be successfully implemented.
As the old quote goes, the problem with socialism is
you eventually run out of other people's money.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
That which is why it's crippled so many governments, starved
so many people, and yes, led to all kinds of
unspeakable atrocities at the hands of those governments that have
disarmed their populace. Okay, it's serious stuff. And Zorimondani running
from mayor of New York City if he wins, is
not going to allow him to reconfigure the entire country

(02:44):
in his image. But if we if the Democrats can
prove that a Democrat socialist is viable and can bring
in the young vote, the people who want the free stuff,
who don't necessarily want to do the work, then they're
very well going to try to run it in twenty
twenty eight. At a national level. They need fresh blood
in their party. Okay, that's the biggest problem they have.

(03:07):
When the Democrats, you look at the current leadership, it's
like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, you know, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. Okay,
when they say the Democrat Party needs new blood, they
actually mean new blood like transfusions. These are old people
as the old jocos. I've seen younger faces on money,
you know that whole thing. But anyway, okay, mom, Donnie

(03:30):
does represent a fresh new direction, and you and I
might think it's bad, but the reality is people pulling
voting levers think it's good. He's popular on TikTok. He's
funded by a lot of billionaire liberal activists like the
Soros family and guys of that nature who like the
things that have happened in New York and California and

(03:51):
Seattle and Portland and Chicago and Baltimore. You know, well,
the quality of life has gone down, the crime rate
has gone up, but we filtered everything through a racial
lens where you no longer want to prosecute violent crime
because it disproportionately targets black people.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Race is not where the line is drawn is God's
side and the other side.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And that's the biggest problem with woke politics is they're
not on God's side. They're on the other side. When
you see things like JB. Pritzker fighting as vehemently as
he has to stop Donald Trump from sending clips troops
into Chicago. Okay, what you understand is he is not
on God's side, and you can hide behind stats like, well,

(04:34):
if we start arresting people, it disproportionately arrests black people.
But as Giano Colbo said on the show yesterday, okay,
ninety percent of the homicide victims in this country are black.
Ninety percent of the perpetrators who kill them are black.
This is not to target black people. That is not
to say we hate them, or they're bad, or they're evil,
or they're less than I don't talk about them that way.

(04:55):
I'm not a Democrat who says black people are incapable
of getting voter righted and asking them to show one
would be worse than Jim Crow.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
This is Jim Crow on steroids what they're doing in
Georgia and forty other states.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
So that's not my em all. I'm not here to
disparage of the black community. Okay, but there are a
lot of inner cities in this country that have been
neglected by Democrat leadership that has been in charge for
sixty years. Eighty years, one hundred years. And I say
this with any party in mind. If you live in

(05:29):
a congressional district, if you live in a state that's
going to vote the same way for one hundred years,
things are gonna go downhill. They're gonna go downhill because
there's no incentive for the people in power to improve
if they're never going to be held accountable for failing
their constituents. That's why Chicago is generationally bad. That's why Baltimore.

(05:52):
Think about Baltimore. Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Literally crime got.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So bad that they sued the automakers Hyundai and Kia,
telling them it was their fault the cars were getting stolen. Listen,
you guys made these cars so easy to steal. It's
no wonder we have a ration of car thefts and carjackings,
which is the literally legal equivalent of saying, look what
she was wearing, your honor, she wanted it.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
And that's what they're doing when it comes to car thefts.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's crazy. But they can get away with outsourcing the
liability because it's more important to them to just keep
getting elected. They don't need your life to improve, they
need their life to improve. What makes this show unique.
Is I'm new enough to media. Is I genuinely care
about your life? You know what I'm saying. I don't
like get to get out of here at the end

(06:39):
of three hours and be like, I don't know, they'll
figure it out.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
These people I don't want to hear from it. And
that's the biggest problem with right now is a lot
of leaders who are trying to make national names for
themselves really look at it like, hey, I just got
to help out my poll numbers. These people, Okay, I
want to give you one. And we covered this yesterday.
Fifty eight people shot in Chicago last week and eight

(07:03):
of them died. Here is Lori Lightfoot saying it's a
manufactured crisis.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Clip six.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
If he comes to Chicago, he's going to be in
court and be he's gonna be sued by the state.
He's gonna be sued by the city, and I believe
that they're with private interests that also sue him. This
is not about violent crime, and I don't think we
should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt to
provoke people in Chicago is legitimate exercise of power. It

(07:31):
is not.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I mean, come on, you sound insane. Do you realize
that you should be medicated?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I mean, seriously, Lori lightfoot, It's not a manufactured fifty
eight people got shot, eight people got killed. That's not
a manufactured like that happened. That's horrible, horrifying. But they
don't care because you understand, if they say, hey, Trump,
do something about the crime, you know what that means.
It means they didn't do something about the crime. It's like,

(07:58):
do you remember when the border was going on and
they were like, this is a manufactured crisis.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
We don't need a border wall. Do you remember that?

Speaker 2 (08:05):
And why were they in the way of it? Border
wall was pretty popular got Trump elected the first time around,
but it also meant that they hadn't fulfilled their own
commitment to get a legal immigration under control. So they
started telling you things like, oh, it's a manufactured crisis.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Walls don't work. Really think about this.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Kamala Harris finished her presidential campaign by vowing to finish
the border wall, saying that she would put in place
all the border protections that, oh, by the way, Democrats
took ninety four executive actions to reverse when Joe Biden
got into office. Think about that. So when Joe Biden

(08:44):
got into office, they signed ninety four executive orders. He
didn't the auto pen did haulting border wall construction, something
Democrats had voted for under George W. Bush and under
Barack Obama. But when they got into power, you know,
they were immediately rescinded the border wall because they had
told you that it was race and this was, you know,
segregationist stuff. We should be building bridges, not walls. Never

(09:04):
mind that every single Democrat goes home to a house
with a wall around it. They don't go home with
a house with a bridge that lets anybody who wants
to come into the house. And the reality is the
border is the front door of our national house. But
the Democrats didn't want to clean up the border because
that would be an acknowledgment that they had made a
mess of it to begin with. And that's where we
find ourselves on this issue. It is indisputable that they
made a mess.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Steven A.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Smith I played this clip yesterday. Here he is talking
about a clip seven.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
In terms of what has been transpiring throughout in the
streets of Chicago. It has been going on for years.
It was going on before Obama was in office. It
was going on when he was in office, it's been
going on since he's been in office. I recall seeing
a black couple on national television asking for military assistance.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
That's how bad it has been in.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Chicago, and one administration after another has either been incapable
or unwilling to do any think about it. It is shameful.
And black folks in that city have been getting killed
for years, and I'm disgusted at the level of ineffectiveness
or on willingness that they've ought that they've executed and

(10:13):
getten better things done and making it better for the
law abidyed citizens is Chicago.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Big cheers for that, because there's not a lot of
people in the media, definitely not at ESPN.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
They're going to read the stats on that. But that
is the reality. Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
They have been so indifferent to the ongoing crime crisis
in Chicago because the Democrats, then this really does matter,
and you have to know this is true. The Democrats
don't care about black on black crime. They don't care
because it's not politically viable. If a black person kills
a person, you can't go, Hey, those folks are racists,

(10:52):
so vote from me. So they only focus on those
killings when ninety eight percent of the black men killed
in this country are killed by other black men. It's crazy,
it's sad, it's not good, okay. But when you really
look at those numbers and you realize that they've been
in place for fifty or sixty years, you realize the
folks that have been in charge this whole time are
completely indifferent to what's actually going on.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
You're right, and when you're right, you're right, and you
you're always right.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
So you understand when the Democrats start saying things like,
you know, well, you know the Red States caused the violence.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
This is Brandon Johnson. Listen to this clip.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Thirteen Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as
long as Red States continue to have a gun problem.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
So that's him blaming it on the Red States. I mean, dude,
ulna asso.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
And I say that why because I read this yesterday. Guys,
this matters, Okay. According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms, ninety percent of the guns used in Chicago
crimes since the year twenty twenty three came from shuki.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Ninety percent of the guns.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
So when you tell me that Chicago's real problem is
the Red States next door.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
It's not actually true.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
So these are people a lot like what I'm dealing
with here in New York with Zoron Mom Donnie, that
want to make everything about race. They want to outsource
their crumbling societies to the neighboring Red States and say, well,
they're bringing the bad stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
They're not. That's not the issue here, okay.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
And when you know that to be the truth, you
start to realize the real liability posed by identity politics,
because identity politics purports the idea that we have different
needs based on race, based on sexual orientation, based on
what religion we worship, and it's just not remotely.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Close to true.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You guys, no matter who you are, no matter what
you worship, no matter what you're attracted to, you want
to make money. You want someplace safe to live. You
want to be able to put food on the table.
Maybe with any luck, with any luck, somebody will shack
up with you at the end of the night. I'm
just saying I can't promise you that. I don't know
where the Friday Night's gonna take you. All I care

(13:12):
is that Saturday night takes you to the TV at
ten BM so you can watch Fox New Saturday.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Night with Jimmy Fail.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
But the point is Curtis Sleiewa, who's going to be
on that show Saturday night, Tomorrow night, okay, and is
someone I'm going to discuss a great length in this hour,
represents right now the Republican Party in this mayor's race. Now,
Donald Trump does not necessarily believe he can win, does
not want a socialist running New York, and is apparently

(13:37):
pressuring the field to be cleared. I don't know that
he specifically said Sleea's gotta go, Adam's gotta go, or
Cuomo's gotta go, but it's the belief is that he
wants Sleewa and Adams out so Cuomo can be the
standard bearer and beat Mom Donnie, because as much as
he loathes Andrew Cmo, it's a better New York City
if the guy in the mayor's office is just a
dirtbag groping woman than if the guy in the mayor's

(13:59):
office it's a dirt bag that overtaxes businesses, defunds the police,
and chases away our entire tax base. So I think
that's the Sophie's choice. We're being dealt with. Okay, and
the only thing I mean I broadcast at a lot
of stations State of New York and certainly here locally
in New York City on seven to ten wor the
Voice of New York.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's not nothing, haw damn.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
But the only reason I focus on this again and
again and again is I know most of you guys
out there, there might be two hundred stations listening right now,
most of you do not care about the New York
City mayor's race. Is correct, But the reason I keep
coming back to it is twofold one. If this works,

(14:41):
as I said, locally, they're going to try to trot
it out nationally and make the twenty twenty eight nominee
Alexandria Ocassio Cortes.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
AOC is a dope, straight up.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
But two, and this might be even bigger in terms
of a fiscal liability, is New York is the center
of commerce in this country. Okay, Wall Street's there, the
financial markets are there, all the big brokerage houses are here.
And if this guy comes in and tanks New York
and really crushes the local economy, crimes bad enough. The

(15:14):
tourism is down, you know, the stock market relocates to
Miami or something else. They've been fantasizing about all this time,
just so they can get closer to the pure cocaine
tied of waiting for all this stuff to come up here,
especially when Trump is drone striking boats full of cartel coke.
Now you've got a bunch of coked up fish. There's
a lot of overrated fishermen in the water this weekend.

(15:34):
Anytime you sink a cartel boat with three tons of coke, yeah,
the fish are jumping, all right. But the point is,
with all of that going on, if this guy crushes
New York City, they don't hand the bill at the
federal level to the people who voted for him.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
They hand the bill to you.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Just hold on to your pocketbook. They just put a
lean on your money, your savings in your retirement.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
There it is Fox Across America with your main man,
Jimmy fail At Danny Paulaschuk in the on deck scircle.
We're bringing in a comedian because it's a second hour
of the show. It's Friday, and you know, I've been
pretty riled up. It's a very serious week on the radio,
and some people are like where's the comedy, Jimmy, you suck,
doc Ass. I don't doubt getting some of that. It's
such a serious show. We took a call yesterday. Well,

(16:23):
we were talking about how much it hurts our brains
to be debating whether or not Trump should be trying
to lower the crime rate. But we got to this
place in Chicago that is a weapons grade stupid. Okay,
But to give some people credit, as I have during
the week, we've had guys like Shermichael Singleton say yeah,
the Democrats should actually do this.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
We've even hat Joe Scarborough say it. And it wouldn't
be a.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Week in radio if we didn't get a cameo from
Judge Janine so Here she is clip twenty two.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
President Obama to come out and make a comment on Chicago,
a city that is his city, that has been one
of the most violent that he's in America, that has
shootings and killings frequently since I can remember, every weekend
there's shootings in Chicago. What are they doing about it?
What they're doing is they're turning to politics, and they're

(17:13):
turning to anything anti Trump, as opposed to saying we
want to join the president in his effort to protect
the American people. We recognize and applaud President Trump for
what he's doing. President Trump could sit back like they
did and do nothing. But you know, the President is
not doing something to the American people in these cities.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
He is protecting them, Amen, Judge Janine. And that's the
biggest problem right now. And that's why we have to
bring in a comedian in the next segment. It's because
I am going to lose my mind if I have
to debate another five minutes of whether or not fighting
crime is good. I grew up playing cops and robbers.
Damn It, Cops good Robbers band Danny Poula Shock proves

(17:55):
it when we come back. Damn it is Fox Across
America with Jimmy Failo. We had to get this guest
on today and not Monday because he bets the NFL.
You can't be in too much trouble after last night's game.
Most people I know got the spread right. But Danny
Poulaschak is back and he's completely unbruised. That's a good song.

(18:16):
I mean this this time. Monday could be another storm.
He could be in here with a Scott Nose glasses
on dodging the.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Broth on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Who damn I did not know that the fail is
the schedule to be at the this Steeler Jet game.
Lincoln is a big Steeler fan because what happens is
like he didn't have any older brothers. He had a
cousin who became a big Steeler fan because they won
those two Ben Roethlisberger Super Bowls. And you know, if
you have older brothers, you kind of get into what
they're into. You know, like my brother was a Raider fans.

(18:45):
Why I was a Raider fan in first grade. That's
how he became a Steeler fan. So them being local,
we're going to take him out to the Jets game.
He's never he has no idea how frustrated the Jet
fan base is. Because he'll wear a Steelers jersey. He
is probably going to get punched in the face by
a woman named Dawn from New.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
I mean, they've been through a lot.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Here's the quarterback for well, the Steelers, Yeah, exactly, Aaron
Rodgers the Jets. The Jets have, I mean, goodness, gracious Field,
I know magic. I don't think they test for that syahuasca.
The Jets are starting Steelers old quarterback fields. Okay, justin
fields and then over on the other side of the
Metalwlands locker room with the Giants play.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, they got Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
So the Steelers quarterback room is playing exclusively in MetLife Stadium.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
Something crazy. Actually, I still cannot believe this. I've never
been to an NFL game, Is that true?

Speaker 6 (19:32):
I've wanted to go so many times.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
I've lived in New York for like, because obviously I'm
from Canada. I've been in many CFL games, seen the argos.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
So dude, I used to live. They used to be
in my backyard.

Speaker 7 (19:41):
Come on, yeah, and there used to be like if
any Canadians are listening, you know, you're like, you get
tickets day of for a CFL game for five bucks.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Come on. Yeah, so you're telling me my listeners on
w b E N and Buffalo probably.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
Yeah, they've gone up to BMO Field.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Come on, that's why you booked Danny Polish shock. You
can get you a hot take. It deals on Canadian football.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
That's like, it's like three eighty American.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
You think they're doing this on the Hannity shows.

Speaker 7 (20:07):
You're not getting this inside US dollar Canadian Exchange rates.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Take that, Mark Levin, call yourself the great one?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Have you given away a single Canadian football deal of getting?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
I need you to come on and laugh it up
with me because I've done Uh, this will be wooh.
This is the thirteenth or fourteenth hour of the week.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I've done. You even know you are no, No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
But the problem is I actually had a caller yesterday
who had it kind of crystallized for me. This has
been the worst week of radio. And it's only been
you know, it's a short week. Actually had a holiday week. Yeah, okay,
but still the worst week.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's the worst.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's just the worst because it's all been about crime
and about specifically how there were people opposing a federal
effort by the president to lower the crime rate. Sure,
which is not a bad thing. Now to be clear,
he does, of course, But I understand this. I know
that they believe lowering.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Crime is good.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
That's not they are And that's what frustrates me about
this level of analysis, as most people are.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Like, they're so stupid they don't even get I no know,
they get it. This is just because yeah, of course,
and when someone's doing something just because it's frustrating, and
it's infuriating to me because a lot of sun commentary.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
Be like we're gonna increase crime, and then everybody's like, no,
let's lower.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's lower.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
He's like, I gotcha, and then they go in Trump's like, yeah,
that's what Trump should do.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
You should be like no Feds ever again. The Democrats
are gonna be like you pussy bringing the cup, bring
a bad let's be.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
The greatest is they're announcing yesterday that they're like we're
looking at banning guns for transgender people that or whatever.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
And then now like everyone on the left is like, no,
everybody needs to have guns out, just like.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Literally tying everyone and my dead hands.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
That's funny. Yeah, now they're all pro gun. It's such
a dumb time to be a lot. Danny Paula Schuck
is in the studio. And that's the transactional nature of politics.
It's like Summer of twenty twenty, Black Lives Matter, fall
of twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
No they don't. That's where we are now. And I'm like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Because that's the thing no one talks about this I
have this week the old man yelling at the TV. Okay,
So my place at Fox, as you know, is I
am a rodeo clown. Like I mean this in every
sense of the word. I mean, you're in a barrel
right now. People can't see because they're listening.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I'm wearing a barrel. Wearing a barrel.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Everybody you know, every you know cable news show begins
with who's dead and going to jail. It's either a
bunch of people died or a bunch of people need
to go to jail, or you're life screwed up, and
here's who's fault of this, and you're ready to shoot
your TV elvis stuff.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Take off your blood pressure.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I come on with five minutes left in these shows
and renew your will to live. So at the top
of the next hour you'll watch more TV. Yeah, I
am sorebet ye, I come out. Jimmy's gonna make some
balloon animals.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
I think we could stick around to the top of
Water's World or Hannity or whatever the hell are you
gonna be on next?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, And that's how it works.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Okay, So what I don't really I'm not given to
like serious like angry punditry. But everyone I saw talk
about this this week, I really felt like, didn't do
what comics do. It's we always have to ask the
next question, why is this funny? You know what would
make this funny in this conversation, and you always have
to ask the next logical question. And what I've been

(23:05):
talking about specifically as it pertains to Trump and like Chicago, Okay,
as everybody's talking about how the Democratic just blanketly oppose
anything he does. Fair, but on this particular issue, there's
a reason they have been in charge of Chicago for
one hundred years. Ninety percent of the murder victims are black.
Ninety percent of the people who kill them are black.
They don't talk about black on black crome. They will

(23:26):
not do it.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
It doesn't it doesn't get clicks.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's happened once Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the Oscars.
We'll give you some black on black. Jesse Small got
a little bit, little something, but it wasn't real. I
don't know who the Will Smith thing was real to
this time.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
But the point is they don't want him cleaning something
like this up because then it's also an acknowledgment that
they didn't. And that's so the sociopathic element to politics
is that you've got to be fine with people suffering
because in your worldview you're so much better for the
rest of us that the ends justified. To me.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I'm t I think it's.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
Crazy for us with any political official to be like
crime in Chicago, what are.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
You even talking to?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, come on, Lori Lightfoot, this is crazy. I'm gonna
play this like a literal, Like, was.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
There a TV show.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Called Chirac, Yeah, chyrackrack steven A Smith, I gave him
crewdit I played this yesterday.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
We could play it one more time today. But steven A.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Smith was talking about this and he was just saying,
he's like this has been going on for like decades. Yeah,
and this is the biggest problem for anyone listening in politics,
is like the problem with one party rule doesn't matter
it's Republican, be the same. If a state votes the
same way for one hundred and fifty years, eventually it
goes to hell because there's no incentive to fix anything.

Speaker 7 (24:37):
Well, you need that like corrective measure, that Yin and
yang kind of thing. Yeah, I mean someone to come
in clean up all the old you know the stuff, And.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, that's what you need and then maybe you can
go back to voting the old way again.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, Like America is honestly like the in my opin
because I've actually looked it up and like, because you know,
I'm from Canada, and like Canada has been basically sixty
I think it's like two thirds liberals to one third
conservative in the last like seventy years of thing. And
it's a dump now, yeah, right, whereas here it's just
like fifty to fifty, Like it's pretty much perfect, you
can get by, but it's fifty to fifty. It's like,

(25:08):
you know, the the Democrats get their turn, then the
Republicans get their turn, and it's just ping pongs back
and forth.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yes, but the states where things really are tanking are
not fifty no problem.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
Well that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's eighty twenty, you know what I'm saying. And it's
just a disaster. And that's the bigger issue here. And
I've been watching this all week and I've been just
a bag of cats. But tomorrow night, our buddy, your
friend Curtis Sliwa, who's under some pressure from President Trump
to jump out of the reasoning that yeah, so Trump
wants him to clear the field. Sleewa goes, Adams goes,
I guess, isn't politics insane that we're five years removed

(25:41):
from that Trump Cuomo battle of the.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Summer twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
I know that Trump now needs Cuomo to be the
mayor of New York. Man.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Apparently that's where we find out.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
I see we need slee waying because I want to
see how this feral cats thing works out. Looking cats,
I want to see how this works out. Cats to
clear the rats.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Cats to clear the rats.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
I had when I lived in Toronto, I had this
crazy mouse infestation and like the walls were like it
was nuts, Like there were so many mice. And I
had this really old Italian landlord, this old guy, and
I was like, hey, man, like I have a real
mouse problem, Like they'd be on the kitchen counters, like everywhere.
And he goes, can I get you a couple of cats?
And I go, no, I don't want two cats. Call
an exterminator. But he knows those cats. When we got

(26:24):
the job, though, they would have got the job and
they would have had our time.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Oh my god, fat and happy living good at Club, Danny.
When we lived in the big city. First we lived
in one hundred and first, then we lived one hundred
and second. You suffer a lot of indignities to live here.
Oh yeah, and you know, most people around the country
know that. But here's when a lot of them might
not know. So when we moved into our apartment one
hundred first Street, there was a plumbing issue. I don't

(26:49):
know what it had to do with routing, but when
the neighbors upstairs flush their toilet, ours exploded to the
ceiling and my wife.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
Doesn't seem tenable.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
My wife was pregnant, Okay, she called up the landlord
and was like, so we have like an old faithful
guyser situation in our apartment where it's exploding to the roof.
I'm pregnant. I go to the bathroom a lot. This
doesn't work, and the guy's like, you know, it's a
major issue. It's gonna take a few months. You can
use the bathroom and the downstairs diner in the meantime.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
How about Honestly, I thought you were going with he's gonna.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Be like, I'll get you a bucket.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, no, no, he basically did you know he's like, yeah,
you can use the bathroom in the diner. And then
that's the only real time I've heard Jenny like really
used things you can't say on the radio. Yeah, but
you really gave it to him. We did get out
of our lease, yeah, but we had to. Yeah, but
that's that's the liability of living in some of these places.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
Oh yeah, I mean so many old buildings here where
you're just like, yeah, I don't control.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
My own heat.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah, so winter is just like, yeah, the boiler's broken
and I go or it's just like, I mean so
many places here where you're like, it's dead of winter.
It's like it's one hundred degrees ye, So how do
you crack a window?

Speaker 6 (27:55):
I'm like, it's twenty outside. Yeah, it just bounces out.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's not an efficient way to live.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
But you know what, as much as we talk about
the indignities of you might see a rat on the subway,
or your toilet might explode. Our streets are not controlled
by migrant gangs.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Okay, we're getting.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
I don't know, I don't know what news you're watching.
I guess you're living all fat and heavy on Long
Island power.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
But no, let's just listen there are elements that there
are elements, but I was bringing my effort to bring
it back to Chicago.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
They what they have going on.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Man, It's like the people in power are basically like
the landlord. He's like, I'll throw a cat, or you
can use the bathroom down in the diner. But we're
not actually fixing this Noline.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
Yeah, we're the crime in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
The only good news I saw all week for real,
as a guy who's got to put together a TV
show and all that jazz as they sank that cartel boat,
which I know is daunting and horrifying to people and
stuff like that, but I still kind of found it funny.
And I'm mad that the New York Post missed the
headline quatro cinco oh man, easy one. I think a

(29:00):
drug give bang. It would have been good, but they
didn't do that. But we did have to have some
mirth around the fishing the boat being sank. Right now,
do you realize off the coast how many overrated fishermen
there are, Because if there's that much cocaine in the ocean,
these fish are leaping into boats.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
They're leaping me.

Speaker 7 (29:17):
You see that all the time, Like something like someone
in Miami's like, yeah, I funds like a bundle of drugs.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, it's just like do you want to laugh?

Speaker 2 (29:24):
When Danny comes back, I'm gonna tell you a story
about what I consider to be the craziest thing ever
left in my camp. And to be clear, I've had
prosthetics left in my cab. I've had fire arms left
in my cab. I had a woman with a sock
puppet on each hand who left one of the sock
puppets in my cab. Not even top ten. And I
will tell you what was when we come back back there.
It is box across America with Jimmy Faila.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
It's Friday.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
We're trying to take the ad you off. There's been
so much talk about crime in Chicago and d C.
And now Trump wants to go into New Orleans and
all that that. Danny Polo Shock has graciously agreed to
be here for a second segment. No guest, does we
don't get oh, we usually get don't ever.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Book me up.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I've seen the people fire the publicists like without you,
they haven't even left the studio.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Like what the hell is that?

Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's like, Wow, it's really rough. So prior to going
to break.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
We were talking about things left in taxis, and I
told you that the most interesting thing ever left in
my taxi was the following. So my second passenger of
the day. I was driving days five am to five pm.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
So you know your garage. Mine was on twenty first
and seventh.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Usually pick somebody up very close to your garage when
you get on the road because there are no cabs
at that hour. Yeah, so some guy might have been
there for three or four minutes or ten minutes and
he sees he gets in. But it's kind of a
nondescript transaction because the guy you're picking up is either
on his way to work or he's like the last
marcher in the.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Parade of bad choices, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
The sun's out, Newspaper bundles are thudding onto sidewalks. Maintenance
guys are hosing off sidewalks. That's something we do in
New York City. Sure, okay, you guys are welcome to
give it a gander as to why they're hosing off
the sidewalk, but you don't have to.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
If you don't want to. You can play this game
on Madden or All Madden. It's your choice. It's your xbox. Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
So the first guy picked up that day without paying
him any mind, left something in the back of my
cab that was presented to my attention by the second
passenger who got in and he said, Hey, he's like,
I'm going up to eighty fourth and fifty goes by
the way he goes, holds up legitimately goes.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Somebody left a lot of blow in the back of.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Your cap and held up legitimately a pillowcased size ziploc
bag of cocaine big enough that I thought of like
the movie No Country for Old Men, where it might
have a tracking door. Yes, yeah, And he's like, yo, bro,
you want to split this. I'm like, dude, that is
all yours. I'm like it was. It was a large
enough amount that whoever lost it was probably killed for

(31:45):
losing it, right, and probably had it in a knapsack
or something that I didn't notice and it had fallen
out of because they were probably doing it. Yeah, of course,
but it was such a jarring amount. If you ever
go to Hershey Park and you see like the chocolate
sacks and the sugar sacks, it was one of those. Yeah,
it was such a Gallon, and I spent my whole
day wondering if there was a remote detonator under my

(32:06):
cab because of that guy. But the guy was really funny.
He took about a marriage of convenience. The guy was
dropping off was down on Broad Street, so he was
going to the old Goldman Sachs headquarters, so.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
He probably got some use out of the cocaine.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Bizarre. And I've had other weird things, Danny. I had
Clay Clay Henry the beer drinking goat.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Do you know that story?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
So there is a goat from Lahitas, Texas. This could
be real or not. But the guy got into my
cab wanted to be on Letterman. He used to have
a segment called Stupid Petrick. Yeah, and had decided he
was going to audition his goat that drank long neck
bottles of beer. So he actually showed me the goat
drink along. If you took the cap off a beer,
the goat would just throw it back and slug it.
And I drove him up to the ed celibate. Yes,

(32:48):
go in the back of the cab. Clay Henry the
beer it.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Was on leash. Yeah, I picked him up on house. Fine.
I mean no, actually was fine.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
He chewing you know, the mushies.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
He was fine.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I mean, I've forgive me for this, but this was real,
like a real realization. It's like he got in and
I was like, oh my god, a beer drinking goat.
And the owner was like, oh my god, a white
cap driver.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Like he's like, what do you mean? What are the odds?

Speaker 2 (33:11):
But anyway, I took him up to the ed Sullivan
Theater and Clay Henry the beer drinking goats. As the
story goes, the guy did not have like a scheduled audition,
like this was a guy who had a goat and
was in town or whatever means.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Did he get the goat here?

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Maybe he was from here for a while.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Now he just claimed this was Clay Henry the beer
drinking go from the heat is text guy. I could
have been lying for all I now, he could have
been a Letterman staffer. But he went to the ed
Sullivan Theater.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
I dropped him on off like ten in the morning.
They're obviously not filming Letterman. I doubt they were having auditions.
He did not go in through like a front door.
Do you know that side door on fifty fifth Yeah,
he went fifty third. He went in that door. So
whatever he was doing, he excuse me, didn't go in.
He knocked on that.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
He knocks.

Speaker 6 (33:49):
He's just like delivery.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
So this was a guy who.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Was just like, no, no, when they see this, they're
gonna put me on.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
You know those guys that walk into the comedy club on.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Saturday night, you put me on. I'm funny. Yeah, that
guy's never funny. No.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
But you know, to his credit, Clay Henry would have
been the one guy who probably could have did the
stupid Patrick.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
But yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
Probably got off.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
But I don't know that he ever did.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
And I don't know that Letterman can put an alcoholic
goat on TV.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (34:12):
Probably when Letterman was on there wasn't like people weren't
probably as.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
If this was eighties Letterman.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
Yes, but like animals, you can't do that.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
It's cruel.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Yeah, it's cruel.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
He loves beer, thank you.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
And when you talk about the consumption habits of goats, guys,
goats will eat the beer can.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
No one says a word about that. So let them
have the beer part of their diet. Go to lead
a tire off your car. I I didn't know this
about goats. This is a funny story.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
So you know, my wife grew up a dairy farm,
and me and Lincoln always pressure her for exotic pets.
We wanted a chimp for a while. She's like, no,
it'll eat your face that whole thing. Lincoln wanted a
cappy bar for a while. Then we decided we had
to get a goat. And her dad was the goat like,
eat the fence, lawn chairs and everything.

Speaker 6 (34:55):
They're menaces.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
And I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
And I went out to Utah to visit my cousin Tommy,
who if you're listening on Koal, you might be up
the road from cousin Tommy.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Uh and and Anderson that drunk. I'm kidding, I love you.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
But my cousin Tommy, Okay, had a goat. And this
thing did everything that they say it does, like in
the brochure. This thing was eating antlers, it was eating anything, okay,
which brings me to my stoner cousin. Okay, he was
the closest thing I've seen to a goat. You know,
Jim Brewer had his goat bit he can make goat noises.
My cousin would eat the beer can really yeah.

Speaker 6 (35:28):
Yeah, there was actually I saw I think I saw
this on TikTok. There's a guy who runs a business
where if you.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
Need like like a area of land cleared out, like.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Say, you have to bring you were talking about he
was on seventeen mile drive.

Speaker 7 (35:42):
Yeah, it's like you have like you're like I have
an acre full of weeds, you know, and they go,
we'll bring you a goat, you know.

Speaker 6 (35:46):
Like two days.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Pebble Beach where the golf course is, yeah, out there
and Carmel by the Seat with golf courses, they have
seventeen mile drive and they have goats eating grass. This
is the kind of hard hitting journalism to come the
Fox across America for stick Around.
