Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is assembling his team, which is expected to include many members from former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration. Mamdani is also in talks to retain Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They discuss whether New Yorkers are leaving the city because of Mayor-elect Mamdani. Democrats appear frustrated by the reopening of the government, especially as they tried to sound the alarm on expiring healthcare subsidies. Will Republicans have a plan to fix the healthcare subsidies before they expire and premiums rise?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mister New York marks them upon seven to ten wor.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, we'll get to Mom, Donnie and more coming up
this hour. Leticia James, who's facing serious criminal charges James Comy,
facing serious criminal charges, are now in court trying to
get the US attorney disqualified. Lawyers for Comy and Leticia

(00:30):
James are arguing today the criminal cases against them should
be tossed because President Trump's hand picked prosecutor is illegitimate. Illegitimate,
they say, Now, of course, this makes absolutely no sense.
They're claiming they've been targeted by Trump because of their
past investigations into Trump. Well they're claiming to see that's

(00:53):
not going to work. If they're claiming they've been targeted
because they targeted him, that doesn't really hold up, doesn't
pass the Laft test. They both pled not guilty, and
they'll try to This is a pretty good indication that
they don't have a strong defense. If they're trying to
get the prosecutor removed, trying to claim their political targets

(01:16):
rather than argue the case, it means it's a pretty
good case against them. So zorin Mam Donni is back
from Puerto Rico, where he was at that Democratic I
don't know what you call that thing. It's a conference
after every election all the Democrats in New York State,
they head to Puerto Rico for conference. But as Curtis

(01:40):
would call it, whining, dining, pocket lining. All the lobbyists
happened to be there at the same time, all the
special interest groups happen to be there at the same time.
So you do the math. But Mamdanni is back. He's
got a chief of staff who's a crazy socialist. He's
got a first deputy mayor. That's the most important thing.
First deputy mayor is the guy that actually runs or

(02:02):
gal or guy or runs city hall. Adams had a
woman for deputy mayor, but the current one is Dean
full Land. He was Deblasio's first deputy mayor for years
and years and years. Now there's four other people that
have already been chosen that are from the Deblasio administration.

(02:24):
So it looks like you're going to get pretty much
what you got during the Deblasio administration, which was not good.
But we got through it all right. I mean, you know,
you remember those eight years. It was eight years of Deblasio.
Crime went up a little and went up in certain neighborhoods,
and there were problems here and there, but we got
through it just fine. And now the only problem is

(02:47):
you got a crazy city council. The election was not
good city council wise. You got more wacko left wing
kooks than the city council, just as you have in
the state legislature. And the problem is this Mam donnie
first Deputy Mayor Dean Fullane. One of the reasons he
might have been chosen. He's a big guy with the legislature.
He's the most connected, plugged in guy with that legislature

(03:10):
up there in Albany. So if they want to get
some tax increases or something past, this guy's got a
good shot at getting it done. So that's the only
big problem with this guy. Now, the free buses all
that stuff, of course, that was just silly and people
fell for it, Mam Donnie promising free buses. The mayor

(03:32):
has absolutely no control over the buses. They're run by
the state, by the MTA. Mayor has nothing to say
about it. Hockel said, you can't just take away this revenue.
We need it. She's not going to do it. Now.
You got to always be mad at Kathy Hockl who's
always screwing in you up. If she was going to
tell people that you can't have the free buses, it's
not going to happen. Why didn't she tell us during

(03:54):
the campaign. Why did she wait till after the election? Well,
because it's you know, that's what a hack Democrat does. Mom.
Donnie was asked about this, But you're not going to
get the free buses. I think the.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Governor and I share a belief that in making buses free,
we have to replace the revenue for the MTA. We
cannot simply demand that they do so without covering the
amount of money they would raise from faars. And that's
the cost of about seven hundred million dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
So yeah, if you're not going to get rid of
the fair you're going to have to replace it. With
it all comes down, you're going to have to pay
seven hundred million one way or another. Will he meet
with Trump?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Do you plan to call President Trump? I will be
reaching out to the White House and as we prepare
to actually take office, because this is a relationship that
will be critical to the success. So it wasn't just
a hypothetical scenario on our debate stage, they're actually going
to call him, what will you say? Well, I'll say
that I'm here to work for the benefit of everyone
that calls the city home, and that wherever there is

(04:48):
a possibility for working together towards that end, I'm ready,
and if it's to the expense of those New Yorkers,
I will fight it.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah. So, now what does that mean? He won't call Trump.
He'll call the White House. He'll get some kind of meeting.
Most it'll be Chief of Staff Susie Wilds. She'll meet
with him. Then they'll see how that goes. If it
goes really well, maybe maybe there'll be a phone call
between the Trump and Mom Donnie. I doubt there'll be
a meeting because I don't think either of I don't

(05:15):
think either one of them wants a picture with the
other guy. It's not going to help Mom Donnie to
have a picture of Trump. Certainly not gonna help Trump
have a picture of Mom Donnie. But you never knows.
He's meeting with Susie Wiles. You never know what Trump
will do. He might just pop into the room. Ah,
there he is, my little communist. He might try to
come in and win him over. But I think they'll

(05:36):
let somebody meet with him first and see how it goes. Now,
will he keep Jessica tiss She was asked about this again.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
No, I continue to be confident in the decision I've
made to retain her, and I look forward to the
conversation that we have. And the reason for my confidence
is that I see, amidst whatever disagreement there may be,
there is a common shared goal of delivering on public safety.
And even earlier, when you were asking me about the
potential of the National Guard, you know, the Police Commissioner
said very clearly, we do not need the National Guard

(06:03):
in New York City. The NYPD is here to create
that public safety and working together to deliver on her
record of reducing crime and accompanying that record with the
creation of a Department of Community Safety, these are the
things that excite me.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
In now. It was pretty clear. He didn't say, well,
I might keep her.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
He said, I continue to be confident in the decision
I've made to retain her.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Now that's pretty specific. I've made the decision to retain her,
so that means she's staying. However, got to put a
big asterisk on this. She's the police commissioner. If he
interferes with her, she'll leave. And also there's a deputy
mayor that's called the Deputy mayor of Public Safety. That
deputy mayor oversees the police commissioner. So if he puts

(06:46):
the wrong person in there, who Jessica Tish does not
want to work for or take orders from, then she'll leave.
So he says he's made the decision to retain her,
but there's things he could do that would make he
knows would make her leave, make her quit. And she's
one police commissioner that does not need the job, does

(07:06):
not need the job. She could leave at any time.
So as far as the police.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
When we're talking about a response time that's closer to
sixteen minutes than when just five years ago it was
closer to ten. That is also something that is related
to us asking police officers to respond to nearly every
crisis we can think of. And it's time that we
understand the retention crisis is being related to a crisis
where we're asking police officers to respond to homelessness, to
mental health calls. It's time to actually allow them to

(07:31):
be police officers.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Now, we talked very fast and he talks about a
retention crisis in relation to the retention crisis and the
relation of that, and you don't always know what he's saying.
But I don't know what ally just said. He's still
on this idea of And first of all, did he
say response time is sixteen minutes? That's a long time.

(07:54):
I don't know. I was watching Blue Bloods last night.
A guy a woman called, there's a man with a gun,
but we'll be there in about sixteen minutes. It was
more like sixteen seconds on TV. But he's still on
this idea that you don't waste police responding to domestic
violence calls now, as cops will tell you, those can

(08:15):
be the most dangerous of all those domestic violence calls.
That's where you get there's real physical danger. You got
a raging maniac husband with a gun and knife. He
can't have social workers going there. And the important thing
to remember, the NYPD has tried this about four different
times over the last thirty years. They've tried it. It

(08:37):
doesn't work. Social workers end up getting injured killed. First
of all, the social workers won't do it, will not
go on these calls because they've seen what's happened in
the past, and they've all said they won't do it
unless the police come with them. So if the police
are there, you don't need the social worker. But it's
not going to work. His mom Donnie on HOKL.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know, I look forward to the relationship that we're
building to serve in set of constituents New York being
pleased to change her mind on buses. I'm excited, just
as I was in October twenty third about making buses
fast and free.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Fast and free. Right, How are you gonna make the
buses fast? How do you do that? They're stuck in traffic.
They can't go any faster than the cars in front
of them. I don't know what he's talking about. You
know who hit out during the whole election, Kirsten Gillibrand.
Do you remember her? Jilibrand anybody remember her. She's the
other senator in New York. You never see her. You know,

(09:28):
Schumer is scheming and scamming to get on every TV
show he can. She's in hiding. She's in witness protection.
Nobody ever sees her. During the whole election. She was
in hiding. Did not want to talk about it, but
she was asked about Mom, Donnie.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I'm going to make sure that I protect this city,
protect the mayor and the governor from whatever assault President
Trump tries to put on the people of New York City,
and we will stand united to fight against whatever President
Trump throws at us.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'm gonna protect I'm gonna protect you. I thought she
was talking about against Mom Donnie. It's against Trump. So
she's kind of useless. You know. Schumer, he's on the
way out. He'll be gone pretty soon, if not from
if not stepping down from the Senate, he'll he'll definitely
not be the minority leader anymore. He's been doing that
fake Sunday press conference for years and years and years

(10:14):
and years. It's an old trick from the seventies, eighties, nineties.
It doesn't work anymore, but he doesn't figured that out.
In the good old days, on Sunday, nothing happened. There
was no news, nothing happened, and Sunday night they still
had to do a six o'clock news and eleven o'clock news,
and the newspaper still had to put stories, and so
nothing was happening. So Schumer would do this press conference

(10:36):
and announce something and it would get in the paper,
and it would get on the newscasts because nothing else
happened on Sunday, they were forced to use it. If
he did the press conference any other day of the week,
it wouldn't even pay attention, it wouldn't even show up.
But it worked for years. But it doesn't mean anything anymore.
There's media twenty four to seven, seven days a week.
Media is going NonStop, even if it's Twitter, even if

(10:58):
it's online, even if it's social media. So the Sunday
press conference means nothing. Oh yeah, you'll still get on
the six o'clock and eleven o'clock news, but nobody watches
that anymore. Local TV viewership is down like ninety percent
over the years, so it's kind of pointless to keep
doing that Sunday press conference. Hey, Bruce Blakeman definitely is

(11:20):
considering running for governor. He's the best county executive in America.
He'd be a great governor. Who we had to pick
one person to be the governor of New York, He's
the perfect pick. I like Alis Stefanic, but Blakeman would
be better. He's a governor now, he's the governor of
Nassau County. He does a great job she's a legislator.
But he's going to do a tour of upstate New York.

(11:43):
He's going to actually first he's going to do I
think Albany, Westchester, Yeah, Hudson Valley. He'll go up there,
tour the place, speak to voters, do some events. Then
he'll go up to the North Country, which is where
at least is from. And they might be saying, well,
that's a little pushy. No, No, it's a smart thing

(12:05):
to do. It's a very smart thing to do. He
just want a big reelection victory, very convincing, a re
election victory twelve points, won by twelve points. But if
you're not sure should he run for governor? Could he win?
A smart executive. If you're not sure, you go test it.
You go test the waters. You go upstate and talk
to voters and meet with them, and see how you

(12:26):
get along with them, see how they get along with you,
see what the reaction is to you. If you're going
to make a decision. And that's what a good manager does,
go go test the waters, go there, feel it out.
So that's what he's going to do. And he's said
he'll make a decision in the coming months. I think
he had to decide by February. The Republican State Convention

(12:47):
is in February. He said, I'm looking forward to meeting
people up there, hearing from them, seeing what we can do.
Smart thing to do now, Blakeman something would be the
underdog because Stephanic is better known for the Republican primary state. Also,
she's got a lot of support from GOP officials, the
donors like her. Republican Party chairman Ed Cox likes her.

(13:10):
But yeah, I mean she'd be great. We love Alistafanic.
Blateman would actually be a better governor, but we'll see
what happens. Jack Schlossberg he's the latest really disastrous Democratic candidate.
He's the grandson of JFK. He's the son of Caroline Kennedy.

(13:30):
He's a real whacko. You're going to start seeing the
videos all over the place that he's put on YouTube.
They are I think I have one on my Twitter.
Yeah go check that out, or his TikTok, his Instagram.
Just a complete creepy, weirdo wacko. And a lot of
people point out he's had some weird fixation on JD
Fans's wife Usha, making creepy comments about her, And there

(13:54):
was one time where even he did a poll on
his Twitter who's hotter, who'sha Vant's or Jackie Oh, which
was kind of strange to people. Is Jackie Oh? Jacqueline
on Nassis is his grandmother? Who does a poll on
how hot his grandmother? Is very very weird. Then, I mean,

(14:15):
he's just had a series of wacko, ludicrous tweets and posts.
There was one where he claimed Alan Dershwitz murdered his wife,
yeah in February, or ranting ridiculous and accusing Alan Dershwitz
of killing his own wife. Dershwitz threatened the defamation lawsuit
against him. There was another series where Schlosberg shared naked

(14:37):
pictures of himself as a kid. I mean, he's just
a complete nutjob, wacko sleeves Paul. There's another one where
he talked about his recipe for jew blood. His words,
jew blood. The recipe includes two ounces of jew blood Ashkenazi,
not Sephardic, four cups of male well, I don't want

(14:58):
to say the word baked at three hundred degrees until
totally dry like your wife. This is Jack Slosberg. Now
he's running these ads online as he wants to run
for Jerry Nadler's seat. And in the ads he's dressed
nicely and he speaks very properly, and he says I
want to do what I can to hold him. You

(15:18):
can be very formal now, but the internet is forever
and all these videos are going to emerge. You're going
to see them all. He is a complete and total
nutshob wacko. Hey, Jimmy Fayley will be with in a
few minutes. We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 4 (15:39):

zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to doctor
Bob on Long Island. Doctor Bob a great surgeon. Doctor Bob.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
How you doing, Thanks Mark?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (16:03):
And good thanks Mark. You know, I think it's terrific
that we've got two fantastic candidates with Lakeman and a
last Stephonic And I think that You're right, Blakeman is
better as an executive to be governor. And what about
the fantastic and brilliant Stephanic is a tremendous legislator. Have
her go into the senator a senatorial position. We have

(16:25):
to to losers representing New York at this point.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, that's a good idea. Blakeman would be the better governor,
although we'd be happy with Stephanic. But Blakeman is a
governor ally in Long Island, and Stephanic would be a
great senator. Very good, Thanks for Colin. Let's go to
Linda in Long Island. Linda, how you doing? Yes?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I do matter?

Speaker 2 (16:48):

Are you talking about Donnie? Yeah? It looks good?

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Right?

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah? Am I the only one that got lost in
this conversation? Where are you in Long Island?

Speaker 6 (17:35):
It's the secret.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Mental institution? Now where do you live in Long Island?

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Law Park, Floral Park?

Speaker 6 (17:44):
Right, the mental institution, Laurel Park.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
That's almost Long Island. It's sort of half Queen's half Long.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Island, right, that's right, that's right exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
That's where North Shore Towers is, right, Yes, all right,
you're right on the border there. All right, thanks for calling, Linda.
Let's go to Tom and Queen's Tom. How you doing, Hey.

Speaker 7 (18:03):
Mark, good morning. I have concern with what you're saying
about the Blasio versus Mandami. At least with Deblasio, he
was lazy and he definitely liked to set off smoke detectives.
With Mandami, I think he likes I think he's got
a real agenda that's gonna work.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, that's the argument that Deblasio was a lazy guy
who never even came to work and did nothing. But
that means his team ran everything. So we saw what
they all do, and you got the same team running
things now with Mam Donnie. And don't think Mam Donnie's
not lazy. These socialists are all like that, right. I
gotta go back and watch the Blasio campaigning see if

(18:43):
he was you know, a lot of times these Deblasio
was a socialist. Remember he spent his honeymoon in Cuba. Uh,
I gotta go back and watch him campaign. Was he
campaigning the same way Mam Donnie was with all these
promises and his fast talking. You gotta go see what
how he cam pig? You know, Mam Donnie most likely
a con man. And who knows, maybe he was counting

(19:03):
the socialists. Who knows. It could be like that book demand.
He just doesn't show up for work. Let's go to
Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Mark?

Speaker 8 (19:13):
You're making me cracked up, Mark, Zora Mandami, according to me,
looks like Bucky Beever or Alvin the Chipmunk. Mark. I've
been going to Milan in Italy for years and years
and years. Anyway, Milan at night they have actually de
facto free bussing. And I say this because the subway

(19:36):
system shuts down from about eleven thirty to five in
the morning, but they have bus lines that paralleled the
existing subway route, so that if you get out of
work and your train is shut down, you could take
a bus. But when the bus goes by all the
places where there's the clubs, where all there's all the

(19:58):
nefarious action going on. The kids come on the bus,
the guys come on the bus, and nobody pays. They
actually have tickets. So sometimes the controllers they go on
they're like, they're like uh friends in safety offices, like
what Mandamie wants to replace the cops with. And they
go on the bus and they check your ticket to

(20:19):
see who paid. There are times when the ambulance has
to come to get the ticket controller to take them
off the bus because the people becoming sense, they either
beat up the ticket controller or if they really get crazy,
they go beat up the bus driver and they go
beat up the guy who will get takes checking the tickets.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
You're not exactly cheering us up here. This doesn't sound good, no, but.

Speaker 8 (20:46):
That's what we're gonna have a fun Tommy gets his way.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Thanks for I don't mean, I know you're right a
man of the world. You're right, all right, Well, good call,
Thanks for calling.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
When we come back, Jimmy Taylor will be with us next.
Lots to talk to him about in just a moment
on seven to ten WR Now more, Mark Simone on
seven TENR Well, Jimmy Fayla Great talk show hosts brilliant
comedian and he's on WR now every weeknight, nine o'clock.

(21:20):
We'll get him back nine to midnight, Jimmy Fayler. We
lost him, We'll get him right back. He's on nine
to midnight every night and it's an excellent show. If
you haven't got a chance to listen yet, you'll love
this show. It's not only interesting, but very funny. Every
night from nine to midnight. He also does a great show,
a late night show on Fox Saturday nights at ten o'clock.

(21:42):
Excellent show. Do we get him back? Yes? No, Oh,
we got him. We got him. But Jimmy Fayler, make
sure you watch him also every Saturday ten o'clock on Fox,
a great late night show. It's the best monologue in
television every Saturday night. Jimmy Fayla, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
I have? I got a lot of family that are
getting ready to visit New York before we defund the police.
They're trying to come before them and Mom, Donnie stuff kicked.
And he's actually good for tourism right now because everybody's
making a bonus trip this week, and that.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know, so far, he tired everybody from the Deblasio administration.
We got through eight years at Deblasio, didn't we.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
No, if by way you mean Florida real estate agents. Yes,
they were so busy, but they did get through it. Uh,
don't ever forget. Bill de Blasio made our number one
restaurant chain a place called this Space for rent. Oh,
that was a very big place underd Blasio. So I

(22:48):
don't like it, Well, yes, we're gonna have fun. We're
New Yorkers, and that's the one thing about us. If
you live here, I always say New York is a
spiritual dominatrix. If you're going to live here, it's because
you'll like getting beat up. In a roundabout way. Anybody
listening on Long Island right now, who drives into the
city every day like I do, you have to like
the beating on some level to keep showing up and

(23:10):
taking it.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
No, it's not that bad. You know, Hey, you work
at Fox. You walk out of Fox. It's so beautiful.
There's Radio City, there's Rockefeller Center, there's the Tree. It's
still New York. Isn't it still the greatest city?

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah? Yeah, No. The truth is there nothing that can
compare it, you know, even if it takes a dip
under Mom Donne. The truth is, you know, Stefanic announcing
she was gonna run when she did is a real
check on anything Mom Donnie wants to do, because Hokeel
doesn't want to get that radical, knowing she's going to
be in a tight race. Yeah, and she's you know,

(23:45):
Hokele already has her limitations. I mean, she's basically governor
because she was the only woman in Albany that was
too annoying for Andrew Cuomo to hit on. You know,
had she'd been a little bit easier to deal with,
he probably would have got me to her too, and
she'd be out of there, and god knows what would
have happened.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Uh. Yeah, these people leaving New York, they moved to Florida.
They moved to North Carolina. What's the first thing you
do when I read the New York Post. They still
listen to New York radio. They they'll all be back
at one point, won't they They'll all be back.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yes, they will try, because that's that is actually what happens.
Every one of my friends who has moved to Florida
tells me about how they you know, we're gonna we
gotta find a pizza place. Then we're gonna go to
the bagel place.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
So you're just doing this with more humidity, you know,
that's all you're really doing.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
And know for a.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Scheme of things, and I know they were perks, but
if you're from here and you've spent enough time here,
you're not supposed to leave. Like you know those stories
Mark about how someone smokes every day till they're ninety
and never gets sick. Yeah, and then they quit smoking
and drop dead in.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Like three weeks.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Like at some point, the bad adverse things we do
become like standardized operating procedure for some of us. I mean,
it's there's no way of really knowing. But New York's one.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Of those things.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
If it's ingrained in who you are, you're not going
to be right if you leave it behind.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, well no, it's still the greatest thing in the world. Hey,
mont Downey's already done one great thing. You got rid
of Cuomo. Don't you think we won't see Cuomo again
as a candidate, will we?

Speaker 4 (25:20):
I mean, listen, save for an upcoming appearance on season
fifty two of Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I do think, I do think it's over. You know, oh,
handsy Andy.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
But Curtis will be back. I think you already launch
I think Curtis already launched his next campaign.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'm pretty sure. Yeah, well, we love Curtis. But hey,
the shutdown, the Democrats certainly accomplished a lot. Could you
tell us what that was? Well, you know, we.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Did break a record for margaritas an airport bar Okay
as a nation. Those flight delays, the TG Fridays broke
a Potato Skins record. I mean, nothing else went on. Nobody,
nobody could get, nobody got off the ground. You know,
it was such it was such silly posturing by them.

(26:12):
And you know it's clear now they really didn't even
know why they did it. You know, they said obamaka't
you know well, you know healthcare and healthcare was too expensive,
but they passed the healthcare bill.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
It was their healthcare bill.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
So how do you blame us for healthcare.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Being too expensive?

Speaker 4 (26:27):
You know, I mentioned this on TV the other night.
I said, if the Democrats saying healthcare is too expensive,
it is like Bill Cosby saying the drinks are too strong.
I'm like, dude, you made it. You made the beverage.
Their You've no legs to stand on here.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
So, yeah, this Affordable Care Act, if it's so affordable,
what the hell does it need a subsidy? If it's affordable,
they've never explained now and if the fact that they
keep talking about it means it's not working. Otherwise, if
it was working, it wouldn't be an issue. Yeah, that's
that's the.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Point, you know. And everybody who got duped into this,
you know, under the auspices of you know, well, it's
gonna be cheaper and we're gonna help more people out
and blah blahlah blah. Those people are very silent, like
you know what I mean, Like Obama is it's his bill,
it's Obamacare. You don't see him out there defending this
thing right now. He's you know, calling Trumpet authoritarian and

(27:19):
everything in between. But nobody who was involved with the
original passage of this thing. You know, it's like if
you were the captain of the Titanic, you're not really
gonna brag about the course you charted. You know, a
lot of people go left, you know when they get
to Nova Scotia, but not me. And nobody wants to
own it. And that's my favorite thing about right now, is.
They're pivoting to everything, but who passed the bill to

(27:42):
begin with? Sending with a shutdown? And you know this, oh,
the Republican shutdown. Ahs, the Republican shutdown. These evil Republicans
shutdown the government. In the middte of the government opened,
They're like, how dare they open the government?

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Republicans?

Speaker 4 (27:54):
What kind of monster?

Speaker 3 (27:56):
They're not?

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Various people.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Well, everybody should listen to Jimmy Fail every night nine o'clock,
nine to midnight on WR and watch him Saturday night.
I love your Saturday night show, ten o'clock. Best monologue
in television.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Now, thank well, nobody's having a better time than us, man, Like,
for real, we're having we are having a great time.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's like the world's on fire.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
We're just roasting marshmallows. I mean that's what I'm doing
tonight at nine o'clock on w o R.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah us what you got now? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Oh, nine pm tonight. It's actually a pretty hot show
coming down the pike. So what happened? Nicole Parker is
a former FBI agent and she's involved in some type
of deep state Shenanigan. She's going to tell me about
the truth is is and you know this. Okay, I'm
not deep state. I'm more like deep dish. You know,
I could talk to you about pizza. She could talk

(28:43):
you about the deep state. But it's going to be excited.
I can't wait to hear it. And I'll probably have
to google half of what she tells me because there's
like a six hundred point IQ gap between her and me.
But that's fine.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, that's tonight nine to midnight on seven to ten WR.
It's a great show, and the Saturday night show excellent.
But you know these late night hosts. I'm watching this
interview with Kimmel and his wife, who's I didn't realize
runs his show, and they're so angry, and you know,
our job is to stop Donald Trump. Our job is
to get Donald Trump tell Would you tell him what

(29:14):
the job of a late night host is? Isn't it
just to entertain?

Speaker 4 (29:17):
The job of a late night host is. You are
the last thing people are going to watch before they
go to bed, So your job is to put them
to bed with a smile in their face, take away
the tension from the day's torments, and kind of unite
the country through that need to escape. Yeah, okay, Instead
they're turning on Kimmel at eleven thirty and being told
the fascints are here, Hitler's in charge. Good night, everybody

(29:40):
have a night dream like, oh man, well sounds crazy.
The compass is broken. You know what I know when
she said her family members, you know, if they vote
for Trump, they're voting against Jimmy Kimmel because he argues
with Trump every night. The idea that she thinks people
should be voting not based on the economy or the
safety up you community, but on whether or not it's

(30:02):
gonna hurt Jimmy Kimmel's feelings, Like when you love to
be that detached from reality, you can just cruise through
the world thinking you were right about every you know,
weapons grade, stupid thing that came out of your mouth.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Well, you gotta watch watch Jimmy Faylor's show Saturday nights
at ten. You will love it. Best of late night
show there is. And make sure you're listening to them
tonight and every weeknight. He's on nine to midnight on
w r with a great show. It's very funny, entertaining, informative,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
