Hour 1: Elise Stefanik running for Governor?

Elise Stefanik running for Governor?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Thursday, everybody, thanks for joining us this morning. A
lot going on. A bombshell in politics in the Big Three.
Powerful Republican upstate New York Congresswoman alist Dephonic is now
considering a run for governor.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
She's absolutely credible for this role and could probably mount
a very strong, well funded campaign. It goes without saying
that she's very close to President Trump and the Trump
administration and could expect some support from that quarter as well.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, she's going to have the backing of Donald Trump,
so she would win a primary easily. So all the
people that considered running, you can expect them to be
dropping off as the days ahead. It is shocking, it
is surprising, but if you think about it, it makes
a lot of sense. If she does run, and it

(00:54):
looks like she is running, this was well orchestrated. If
she does run, she would and he stays in the race,
shou'd be up against fellow Republican New York Congressman Mike Lawler,
but I have a feeling he may drop out, as
well as Bruce Blakeman, NASA County executive. We'll talk more
about this in a moment, but it's a huge news.

(01:16):
Democrats are still trying to free MS thirteen member and
now wife beater Kilmar Abrago Garcia from an El Salvador
prison and bring him back to America, but the Trump
administration says that is never going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Nothing will change the fact that Abrago Garcia will never
be a Maryland father.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
He will never live in the United States of America again.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
The governor of Maine refuses to obey the President's executive
order banning biological male athletes from playing in women's sports,
and now the Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit
against the state and its governor.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
We have exhausted every other remedy we tried to get
Maine to comply. We don't like standing up here and
filing lawsuits. We want to get states to comply with us.
That's what this is about.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
And New Jersey Transit seems to be barreling towards the
strike by its engineers. Our number one issue is wages.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
New Jersey Transit engineers are among the lowest paid in
the entire country.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Now they turned down the last contract offer, and at
that time, ninety percent of union workers say they are
prepared to strike on May sixteenth. That will affect almost
one million New Jersey commuters. Let's talk about at least aphonic.
I am stunned, and maybe I shouldn't be. It seemed

(02:50):
like this was something was going to happen. Remember, she
was one of the first nominees for Donald Trump. She
was nominated to be ambassadored to the UN and she
was thrilled about that. And then there was no She
was put through very easily, and then there was no

(03:13):
vote on her by everyone. There was no vote, and
so you're thinking to yourself, what's going on in People
were getting the jobs, and people were filling the cabinet positions,
and they weren't doing anything with the least dephonic And
then she withdrew her name from consideration. And the reason
was the reason that was given at the time, and

(03:33):
it makes a lot of sense. The reason that was
given at the time was they needed that extra vote
in the House because he has to get his budget
passed and he can't afford to lose any votes. And
of course Kathy Hokeel was playing games by pushing back,
which should be unconstitutional, pushing back a special election for

(03:56):
that seat to leave it open. So they wouldn't have
the Republican vote. So Alis Stephonic said, you know what,
I'm staying. I'm gonna stay. And I'm sure she's a
little bit upset with Kathy Hokeel, but now the way
this is playing out, it might be the best thing

(04:16):
ever that happened for her, because look, right now, it's rumors,
but these rumors have legs. There's no way this is
out everywhere across the country just based on speculation. And
if you think about it, Tuesday night, she spoke at

(04:39):
the New York Republican Convention, and boyd did she sound
like a candidate. Then she was blasting Kathy Hokeel, and
she sounded like she was running. Here's some of the
quotes she said. She is the worst governor in America.

(05:01):
She said, she coined that phrase for Andrew Cuomo, and
she thought that was too low of a bar to anyone,
for anyone to pass. But Kathy Hochel has done it.
She is the worst governor in America. In Kathy Hochel's
New York, small businesses are closing, they are fleeing the
state and engulfing New York streets and our college campuses

(05:23):
across the state, our empire state, once a beacon of opportunity, innovation,
and strength, is fading fast before our eyes. It feels
like someone is asking, well, the last one out of
New York, please turn off the lights. And here's the
big line. I'm going to say, that's not going to

(05:43):
happen under my watch. It is time to save New York. Now.
She goes into this with the full support of Donald Trump,
which means for Congressman Mike Lawler, he might as well
get out of the race because Donald Trump in a primary,

(06:05):
his endorsement is huge. Plus all the money that's gonna
come her way. Now, so this is almost if she runs,
and believe me, she's running. If she runs, she is
going to be up against Hochel, who has historically low
approval ratings. She's not very good on her feet, and

(06:27):
a least staphonic is tremendous on her feet. You'll remember
a Lease staphonic. Now, there was several times she's been
so good at these congressional hearings. She has been the
star time and time again on every topic. But the
one that comes to mind recently was when she took

(06:51):
on all of the presidents at the different Ivy League
schools that were allowing students to take over their colleges
and to intimidate Jewish students, and one after another, she
went after with one simple question, and that simple question was,

(07:16):
is anti Semitism a hate crime?

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Antisemitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation,
that is actionable conduct, and we do take action.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
So the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide
of Jews violates Harvard Code of Conduct.

Speaker 8 (07:37):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Again, it depends on the context.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
It does not depend on the context. The answer is yes,
and this is why you should resign. These are unacceptable
answers across the board.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well, she didn't have to resign. That's Claudine Gay, the
former president at Harvard. She was fired, so was the
president of Penn because of that moment. Because cause of
that moment, which went viral, a least stephonic is a killer,
A least stephonic will chew up Governor Hokeel. This race

(08:11):
just changed. And Kathy Hochel by the way yesterday was speaking.
She had a press conference. She has lots of press conferences.
We just took cover them all because they're about specific things,
some of them in upstate New York. But she had
a press conference yesterday and I saw this and I
didn't pull the sound because it was so quick and
it's hard to hear. She's taking questions right, and somebody says, hey,

(08:33):
what do you think about a last Stephonic getting in
the race? And she said she closed up her book
on that question. And as she's walking away from the mic,
she said, I look forward to that fight. Uh, well
that's not You're not looking like you're looking forward to
that fight. You're not looking like And I think she

(08:53):
was stunned. I think she thought she could handle Mike Lawler,
because Michael law is great, by the way, we love
having him on the show. He's a great congressman. He
would have been a great candidate, but he doesn't have
the star power of Elise Stephonic. He's been trying to
build his name for that race. Bruce Blakeman's the other one,

(09:17):
and I'm certain both they're going to get calls from
Donald Trump asking them to pull out of the race.
Now get used to it. Elise Staphonic is going to
run for governor, and Kathy hokeel it's her nightmare all
of the sudden. Could you imagine the two of them

(09:37):
in a debate. I can't even imagine the two of
them in a debate. By the way, we now have
some of the sound from New York One about running.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
I think there's a lot of candidates that are in
the mix. I'm honored to have my name in the
mix as well. I think we have a once in
a generation opportunity to your Kathy Hopel once and for all.
For so long, Democrats have had one party rule in Albany,
and it has caused a decaying of our state.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Here she is again, this is this just happened. She
just spoke with New York One.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
I think we're in a huge opportunity to win the
governor's mansion, to break the super majority, win the state Senate,
call back some of these seats in the New York
State Assembly, and really reset New York on a better
path for hard working families.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'd love to hear what you have to say about this.
Give us a call at one eight hundred and three
two one zero seven ten, or leave a talk back
when we come back. You know the five second rule,
how long when the floor does someone have does something
have to sit before you eat it again. Then it's
different for everyone. We'll talk about it next. Well, the
big news today is that at least Stephonic sounds like

(10:52):
she's running for governor. This is the way these things
are done. It's leaked out to get big reaction. And
see this is getting huge reaction because a last Stephonic
is the strongest candidate for the Republicans. Nobody thought you
would run. But this happened right after the New York

(11:12):
GOP convention on Tuesday night, and of course you went
to talk back to talk about it. If you want
to join in in the conversation, you go to the
iHeartRadio app. You look for seven to ten WR and
then you just push the talk back button and you're
on the air.

Speaker 9 (11:29):
I am a Democrat since nineteen eighty three, and I
welcome Alis Stephonic to please run against Kathy Hokl. My
Democratic Party has absolutely destroyed New York, New York State,
New York City, and it's about time that we need

(11:51):
due leadership. Democratics are out. We need Republican conservative leadership
in New York. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah. The last time we had a Republican guy won
three terms and was one of the best governors we
ever had. So maybe it is time for us to
try a Republican in New York because what's been happening
just isn't working. It's a tax tax, tax, tax tax.
Come up with new ways to have a cash grab.
Spend money, spend money, spend money, spend money, and waste money.

(12:20):
Waste money, waste money, waste money. That's what Kathy Hokeel
has been for the last three years, and that's what
she would continue to be if she's reelected. This is
going to be a fun campaign because I believe if
Elise Staphonic is running, and I firmly believe she's running,
this is the way these games are played to get
his By the way, Donald Trump tweeted out out of nowhere,

(12:43):
Alis Staphonic is great in capitals with exclamation, exclamation, exclamation, exclamation.
So she has Donald Trump's backing, she has the money.
Expect others to drop out of the race and galvanize
around her, and it's going to be a Stephanic versus
Kathy Hochel, and I'm sure I will. We saw just

(13:04):
yesterday's she's worried. We've all heard of the five second rule, right,
I mean that's been probably quoted to you many times.
When you drop some food on the floor, right, yeah,
you know what I'm talking about. You drop the food,
you have five seconds to.

Speaker 8 (13:19):
Eat it, yes you are, or six or seven?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, I feel the same way. Now, so let me
let me know from all of you. If you drop
food on the floor, do you eat?

Speaker 10 (13:30):
It depends what I say.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
So if you drop a piece of lettuce on the floor,
it goes in the trash.

Speaker 10 (13:38):
Yeah, but a French fry, maybe I say no.

Speaker 8 (13:44):
But it all depends on your circumstances.

Speaker 10 (13:46):
Like now, no, but with the price is going up,
maybe I'll give myself a three second rule zombie apocalypse indefinite.
You find the food, you eat it.

Speaker 9 (13:57):
Well.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Also, it depends on the floor, exactly.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
That's true. It's my kitchen floor. Yes, if it's a
subway platform.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
No, right, exactly, there you go, or the men's room
if you're just having a snack in the middle, you wouldn't.

Speaker 10 (14:11):
But I don't think of the last time I had
a snack in the men's room, But I'll try it.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Just a snack in any bathroom, missus, blood.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Could easily go in the wrong direction. So let's get
back on track. This is I'm bringing this up because
there is this guy named Nicholas Archer who is a
Chicago microbiologist. I don't know if you've heard of him,
but he's extremely popular on TikTok.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
I'm looking at some of his tiktoks right now. They're
pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
He's got four hundred and fifty thousands, four hundred and
fifty thousand followers. And what he does is he tests
food constantly. He's testing food. He wants to show you
what you're eating, and he shows it down, you know,
to the microscopic form. And he put this to the test.
He decided to test the five second rule, and so

(15:05):
he dropped food on the floor and then tested it
for microbes after he tested it, and he went from
zero seconds all the way up to ten seconds. And
it turns out just hitting the floor fills with the
same amount of microbes and germs that it does after
five seconds. It's the amount. More so, whatever is on

(15:29):
that floor jumps on it immediately. As soon as it falls,
it's on there, so it is not any cleaner after
you drop it than it is in five seconds. Now,
he accidentally, while doing the test, draw he wasn't gonna
do ten seconds, but he accidentally dropped something and it
did last, say, on the floor for ten seconds, and

(15:51):
he tested that and that had just a little bit
more of the mic. You didn't eat it. End up.

Speaker 8 (15:57):
I'm I'm watching the TikTok right now, and you see
all of the little germs that have grown.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, oh yeah. You never want to look at that
through a microscope.

Speaker 8 (16:09):
This isn't even through a microscope.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
You can see the germs with your eyes.

Speaker 8 (16:14):
Yeah, I don't know what I'm looking I don't know
what I am looking at.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, all right, sorry about that. If you're eating bricks.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
And you dropped it, as long as it stayed on
your plate.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let's get the News at six thirty with Jaqueline Carl
and get out of s Jacqueline.

Speaker 8 (16:31):
Good morning.

Speaker 10 (16:32):
The Chairman of the Federal Reserve is predicting inflation to
rise and economic growth to slow because of tariffs. Speaking
at the Economic Club of Chicago, Jerome Powell said the
Fed may find themselves in a tough situation where their
goals to control inflation and support growth in the economy
are intention and yourk Republican Congresswoman at least Dephonic, as

(16:53):
you heard us talking about, is reportedly considering a run
for governor.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
That's according to multiple sources who says Stefanic is considering
a bid for governor following encouragement from Republican donors and
allies of President Trump, who thinks she may be formidable
and popular enough to win in the typically blue state.
Trump said on Truth Social Wednesday, Congresswoman Elie Stephanic is great.
This comes after Trump decided to withdraw her nomination for

(17:18):
US Ambassador to the United Nations, saying Republicans need every
House seat they can get. Democratic Governor Kathy Hokle is
up for reelection next year. Kristen marks wour News.

Speaker 10 (17:29):
All right, so this is kind of interesting as far
as what cities are the most expensive. It says it's
about what one hundred thousand dollars will get you in
various American cities. So this company, smart Asset, looked at
sixty nine of the largest cities in America to find
out where one hundred thousand dollars would go the farthest

(17:50):
and where it wouldn't one hundred k get you the
most bank for your book. In cities like Oklahoma City,
El Paso corpus Chrissy, Tulsa. Guess I swear one hundred
k is worth the least in guess what comes in
at number one? New York Manhattan, then Honolulu, San Francisco,
then Brooklyn, then Queens and then La So no matter

(18:13):
where we turn here in Manhattan.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
We would say, oh, let's move to Brooklyn, let's move
to Queens.

Speaker 10 (18:18):
Nope, you're still one hundred thousand dollars is peanuts.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
So everybody should move to Staten Island.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
You could do Staten Island or Houston, San Antonio.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's too far.

Speaker 8 (18:31):
Away, Oklahoma City, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
But Staten Island's right there. Staten Island. By the way,
I drove through Staten Island the other day. It's beautiful.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
Yeah, up, I did. I grew up my whole life.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's gorgeous. It doesn't look like the rest of New
York New York City.

Speaker 8 (18:46):
It's no, no, no, it's a lot more suburban hills.
There's vegetation, yeah, the trees.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, I'm figuring this isn't the city.

Speaker 8 (18:56):
Now there you go.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's beautiful. So Staten Island, We're all going to move
to Saton. Thanks so much. Jacqueline carl The White House
claims kilmar A Brago Garcia will never be allowed back
into this country, but Democrats keep trying to prove the
President wrong. We'll talk about it after the break. Plus,
don't forget. You can leave us a talk back all
morning long. Go to seven ten WR on the iHeartRadio

(19:19):
app and click the microphone and when you're there, put
seven ten WOR on your presets. Yesterday for just a
little bit, just a little bit, I felt sorry for
Maryland Senator Denver Democratic Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen when
he was down in Guatemala. I mean, this was purely
a political stunt and it just backfired on him so badly.

(19:45):
So he's down there and he wanted to meet with
the President to try to get the release of kilmar
A Brago Garcia, who the Democrats claim is just a
good citizen, just a loving father, who is trying to
live the American dream. And how dare they go and
take him out of his home and send him to
one of the worst prisons in the world. That's the

(20:08):
Democratic line. So he's there and the President won't meet
with him. They say he's not available. He's out of
the country they told him, which I guess maybe it's true,
I don't know. And he got to meet with the
Vice President who said, no, you know, it's great that
you came down, but we're not going to do this.
So then he goes out and he has a press conference,
of course, and at the press conference he said that

(20:32):
he was doing this for Abrego Garcia's wife.

Speaker 11 (20:37):
I told his wife and his family I would do
everything possible to bring him home, and we're going to
keep working at this until we're successful.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right. That sounds okay, right, except for the same time
this is happening, Right, there's a split screen on all
of cable News of him down in El Salvador and
the White House press briefing. Now you heard him talking
about the wife. A moment ago. Carolyn Levitt came to

(21:09):
the news conference with legal papers showing that he was
arrested a couple of times for beating his wife, not once,
several times. So he's saying, I'm coming here for his wife,
who wants him back in the country. And at the
same time they have legal papers showing that he was
in court several times for beating his wife. Not only that,

(21:36):
but while he's there. They bring on at the press
conference Patty Morin. Now Patty Morin is the mother of
Rachel Morin, who was killed brutally while she was out jogging.
She was raped and killed and her head was slammed
against a rock several times. She's a mother of fire.

(22:01):
She went out to a jogging trail that the family
always uses and she was up there crying. And on
the other side of the split screen there is Senator
Van Holland talking about how he's never going to give
up and it's not just him, that other Democratic senators
are going to be down there, not after this debacle.

(22:22):
No no, no, no no. The Democrats just keep stepping
on it. And this is I feel so bad for
this woman. She still she talks about how she feels
pain every single day. She's taking care of the five
children now along with the father who has to work,
and so the grandmother steps in. So this is Patty

(22:45):
Morian talking about how disgusting it was that the Democrats
are rallying around this man and that her senator went
down there to try to get him freed and he
never met with her or her family.

Speaker 12 (23:04):
And to have a senator from Maryland who didn't even
acknowledge or barely acknowledged my daughter and the brutal death
that she endured, leaving her five children without a mother
and now a grand baby without a grandmother, so that

(23:26):
he can use my taxpayer money to fly to El
Salvador to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
It was brutal. It was absolutely brutal. I was at
the point where I even felt bad for Senator van
Holland because he's saying, I'm coming back, We're going to
get him freed. And there's this crying mother lamenting that
her daughter was killed brutally by an illegal who was

(23:56):
in this country. That was last year, by the way
Van Holland lee, and they wrested someone else who just
got out of prison, also committed murder. It was horrible
timing for this guy, but I think the Democrats are
going to be smart enough to drop this whole thing.
And someone else who was absolutely disgusted by the senator

(24:18):
going down there was my favorite guy in the administration,
Tom Homan.

Speaker 13 (24:23):
Who wasn't abducted. He's an MS thirteen gang member classified
as a terrorist that was removed from this country. So
we got rid of a dangerous person. An al Salvador
national was returned to the country of alf Salador, so
he's home. We removed him to the United States. The
public safety tread exactly what should have happened. And I'm
just disgusted that any Congressional representative is going to run

(24:47):
to al Saalwador his aid when yesterday I read in
his state Illigo Alan charged with murder was released back
into the community and not the Ice state tenure wasn't
hotter and Ice had to go find him.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yep, bad bad timing. The Democrats are so much wont
an issue. They're searching for an issue, something that will
make them relevant, and they step in it every single time.
The Democratic Party, no matter what you think of Donald

(25:23):
Trump at this point, really doesn't matter. I know, he
sucks up all the oxygen and he gets all the attention,
but the Democratic Party is irrelevant right now. That's the
way the American public thinks of them. If you look
at the polls that still they still were down in
the twenties. That's historically low. And it's because of stunts

(25:46):
like this, of trying to insert yourself as a candidate
for the leader of the Party, like Corey Booker did
with his grandstanding, and each time it happens, it's a failure.
And the bottom line is, this guy's never coming back ever.

(26:10):
He's home now, he's from l Salvador. They sent him home.
If he were to be sent back into the country,
Ice would be waiting for him and they'd send him
right back. He might not have to go to prison,
but he's not going to stay in America because he
was here illegally. He is not an American citizen no
matter how long he was here, and if Barack Obama

(26:32):
was able to find him, Barack Obama would have sent
him back. The White House made it clear yesterday he
will never live in America.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Nothing will change the fact that Obrago Garcia will never
be a Maryland father.

Speaker 11 (26:47):
He will never live in the United States of America again.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
But the problem with the Democrats is they keep calling
attention to this, which calls attention to the fact that
President Trust came in and closed the southern border in
a weekend, and they left it open for four years
and let murderers in and let gang bangers in and
let terrorists in. Somebody, somebody's got to step forward in

(27:15):
that party, but right now it doesn't seem to be anybody. Well,
it seems the attack on a governor's mansion was an
anti Semitic assassination attempt. We'd love to hear from you. Also,
by the way, you can go to talkback and on
the iHeartRadio app at seven ten WOR and we're going

(27:36):
to be playing some of the talkbacks coming up. All
of that is ahead. Well, I do love your talkbacks.
You always inspire a conversation. If you want to leave
a talkback, you go to seven ten WR on the
iHeartRadio app, you look for the talkback feature, you hit
the microphone, and then you were on the air. The
topic of the day is at least aphonic running for governor.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Larry has a long time MAGA Republican and New York
State political prisoner. I can appreciate your endorsement for a
least staphonic as governor, but New York State is not
known for rational decision making or voting in their own
best interests. You have a better chance of seeing Kilmar

(28:19):
Abrigo Garcia escaping El Salvador and being elected governor than
a lease staphonic.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh that's really rough and not true. Le Zelden came
close last time, so you do. And now, look, I
will admit we have to see what the political climate
is when the actual election happens. For instance, if Donald
Trump and the Republicans poll numbers are down, it's going
to affect the New York election. So a lot has

(28:46):
to do with other factors. But let's just say everything's
equal for a moment, which it won't be. But let's
just say that for a moment, you have a least
staphonic who is a really strong candidate, maybe the strong
candidate the Republicans have had in a long time, possibly
since George Pataki, who was a tremendous governor, less Republican governor.

(29:11):
If you put her up against Kathy Hokeel with Kathy
Hokeel's approval numbers right now, you might have a lot
of Democrats staying home. You certainly will have people in
the suburbs around New York and in the outer boroughs
and some of the people on Staten Island and Long
Island that are going to stay home or they're going

(29:32):
to turn around and just vote for a LEAs Stefani
because they're upset about congestion, pricing and other things, So
I'm not sure you're right on this one. I will
say you have to wait to see what the political
climate is at the time. But all things being equal,
Kathy Hochel is extremely beatable right now and I don't

(29:52):
see that changing. She keeps trying, she spends more money,
she keeps offering more money and doing tech breaks and
giving out money because she said she had a surplus.
She's trying to rebuild her career, putting lots of police
officers on the subways. Nothing has worked. People have made
up their mind about Kathy Hockel, and at least Dephonic

(30:16):
is going to wipe her up in a campaign. She's
going to outraise her. Donald Trump's going to be on
her side in the if they need Donald Trump, because
I got to feel when other people are now getting
a drop out to get the Republican nomination. And then
it's one on one with Hochel, and man, I want
to watch that debate. That's gonna be fun. I do

(30:36):
want to get to the attempted assassination story of the
Pennsylvania governor. But I do have a question about another talkback,
and this one's from yesterday. First of all, he starts
off talking about AI, because we talked about companies across
the country having people defend their jobs or talk about
should we hire somebody or can AI do it better?

(30:58):
And then we talked about Letitia Ja James and the
fact that the Department of Justice is now considering charges
of what do you know, of mortgage fraud of real
estate fraud, which is exactly what she went after Donald
Trump about. And this talkback came in, and so I
have a question for you, Natalie, Do I get too

(31:20):
carried away when I'm talking about some topics because this
guy made me think that.

Speaker 8 (31:26):
No, actually, I just I like your enthusiasm.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh that's a very kind way to say that. And
here's what he had to say.

Speaker 11 (31:32):
Your AI report. And for first of all, that freaked
me out. Number two, Letitia James, you're one thousand percent correct.
You get so worked up, Larry, I'm worried about your health.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
My brother. You gotta calm down, You gotta calm down.
He's worried about my health.

Speaker 8 (31:51):
That's nice, it's nice to have people concerned about it.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
But I mean he's worried about my health because he
says I get carried away.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Well, you know, the blood pressure elevates.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
You know what, we got to get a care because
my hands are flying all over the place when I'm talking.
I think people should get a chance to see that. Look,
I'm gonna hold the story about Josh Shapiro and that
that story's just horrible, just awful. A man, it was
completely anti Semitic. A man really set fire to the

(32:24):
governor's mansion. I don't know how he got that close.
He was that close, and he said if he could
have found the governor, he was going to hit him
in the head with a hammer. He admitted everything. He
admitted everything, and all had to do with Palestine. He said,
Josh Shapiro was after my people, and why because he's Jewish.
He had nothing to do with that. By the way,

(32:46):
watch jos Shapiro. I've been saying that for a long time.
Josh Shapiro is going to be the one that's going
to emerge. He's so smart to stay quiet right now
and let the Democrats eat their young. Well, karma may
have caught up with Attorney General Letitia James, who we
were just talking about. She may now get charged with
the same thing. She accused Donald Trump of real estate fraud,

(33:07):
although she may go to jail because of it. Aarry Hoffman,
