11.6: Live from the Kentucky International Convention Center - Hour 1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I always love being at summits, right we we we
usually attend the Russian Ukrainian summits.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Which summit is your favorite?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Is it a business summit like this or being on
top of like Everest? All right, both of because both
summits are equally as thrilling.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Let me tell you something to do in a show
with you is like being on top of the summit.
We're at the Convention Center downtown. We're with a group
called Canopy. And these are the type of organizations that
no one gets to know about if you need to.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
If you don't know about Canopy, don't worry. A lot
of people don't because it's over their head.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
All right, take a dollar out of the bad joke,
I will allow it head. Canopy connects local businesses, mostly local,
but regional and national that are look not so corporate
driven that our give back to the communities, like beer Know's,
tell me a lot like Barono's, and and it's it's

(01:03):
really it's really an interesting concept that they really have
taken off. And we're going to talk to a lot
of these folks to come and hang out with us. First,
let's start with the news from what's changed since yesterday.
Twelve people now are confirmed dead, gone to twelve correct.

(01:23):
More information has come out about this plane. The plane
was built in eighty nine. We knew that a day ago.
But what's new is this plane has been worked on
a lot lately. And the issues were the fuel lines,
the fuel pumps, those situations, right, Yeah, So that that

(01:45):
has come out, So now they're starting to put the
story together, Okay. And it was in San Antonio for
six weeks and.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
So I mean, obviously it's going to take a long
time for the NTSB to something. But I was under
depression that an engine had fallen completely off.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Is that still the case? Yes, it is still.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yes, the engine fell off, So that that picture is
starting to put together. I do want to credit the
National UH, the NTSB, because how many government agencies do
we know that would be snale slow? The airport's not open,
ups isn't flying right?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
They would? It be easier for me to name the
ones that aren't, you.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Know, right, So I want to give them credit for
coming in handling it like pros and and opening the airport.
The airport is open. My wife is flying from Houston today.
She has a gate number, she has got a flight
directly to Louisville, so they are open for business. Two
of the three runways are open.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I wonder if something is being organized or at least
talked about organized for the family member of great A
Auto Parts, for ups, for whatever families were affected by this.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I mean, we don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I don't know whose lives were lost out of these twelve.
Some of these might have just been customers somewhere. I mean,
they're all inocent bystanders. I'm just wondering if anything's being done.
If you know of anything like that, reach out to
me on Facebook, because we want to support that, and
we certainly want to navigate through because in times like these,

(03:28):
these jerks with these fake fraudulent fundraisers.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Oh yeah, you got to keep on top of that.
So yeah, keep keep keep an eye on that. That's
that's a great point. But there are now stories coming
out from first responders saving lives, particularly two gentlemen that
were surrounded by fire uh and locked behind a gate
uh and they could see LMPD or Saint Matthew's frees,

(03:56):
whoever it was, and they're they're jumping up and down
trying to get their attention and that they needed a
bolt cutter because it's locked. It's a lock gate. They
can't get over it. Yeah, okay, so these two guys
are I would assume that they're thinking, this is it
if they don't get the attention to these guys. They
saw them, they ran over, they cut the bolts, they

(04:17):
got them out. Wow.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I hope there's body cam footage of that.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I would think so if it's a police officer, they
all have body cams. The other thing is the videos
that are coming out now that are incredible.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
The one that you and I watched last night.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
We were texting back and forth, and it's either obviously
a man or a woman driver or dash cams.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Some people have dash cams on there.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh yeah, but he or she put it up and
it's just them driving down Grade Lane. And then it
really looks like something out of a movie. And then
you said, I think it's great auto parks where you
see the people running out.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Of but it just looks absolutely horrific.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I can't imagine the thought process of the employees and
the customers in Grade A when that happened, running for
their lives stooges as well for that man.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Running for their lives because if you look at the video,
it's right behind their shop and it's right on top
of them. And the fact that that went up instead
of out is really what saved their lives. Right, And
those two guys that run reminded me of me and you.
I'm running and you're right your way behind. But it

(05:32):
is I can't imagine what was going through their minds
at that point. I mean again, you're thinking, Okay, this
is it, this is how I go out, and they
got away, Thank the Lord. And those stories are now
coming out and you have a story that you're going
to add to it. Yeah, that is going to freak
people out.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I gotta verify this and I'll do that this afternoon and
hopefully they will be our guest tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
But this story is absolutely crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Okay, you're gonna get it, Okay, to tell it.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'll do that today. Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
So there could be a press conference with Greenberg mayor
Greenberg here in about forty five minutes. Uh, we will
take it. If there is. If this is updating anything
that you need to know. If not, uh, we'll pull
out of it. We'll figure it out as we go
along the way.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, And Mary Walter is going to join the show
at the bottom of the hour. We're gonna talk about
the elections that happened Tuesday night. Obviously we stayed on
topic yesterday as we should have, but we are going
to discuss some of the election and.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yes, that would be great. I love Mary and uh
and and Jody Myman. Also, I told him get in
at golf cart that he has. Yeah, at Metro Safe,
he's two blocks over.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, it makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
He gets in the golf cart because he always takes
his golf clubs with him, and I'll like, do chip
shots down, you know, Muhammad Ali.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
And Joe's got blue lights on it, by the way,
so it's golf cart with blue lights.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Higo, Watch how far hit this ball? I know, like
bounce you know down, Muhammad Ali.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
You're gonna break a window. Come on, man, come on dude.
So Jody Myiman, of course, with Metro Safe text to
me last night. We had a conversation. This is the
first time he could text back after all this time.
So he's going to try to come down and I
think he's probably got a story or two of saving
lives and those Again, we knew this. The more hours
that stretched after this event, the more information we would get.

(07:21):
And I have to tell you, I am completely shocked
and happy that how fast the airport has been opened,
how fast everybody has been working to get this investigation
on and getting the airport open and ups flying planes.
I mean, it's just an amazing story of how fast

(07:43):
they've turned this thing around.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I want to tip my hat again real quick and
circle back and talk about a little of a metro
safe because one of the things I thought of when
all of those things were unfolding the other day on
Grade Lane is a catastrophe. This large scale of a catastrophe.
I can't imagine the call volume of nine to one one.

(08:08):
You know, everybody that like I'm on an event like that,
Like if I passed somebody and there's a fender bender,
uh chance, something like this, everybody's gonna.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Want to call nine to one one to report this thing.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Right, So, I mean, I think the overload. I'll be
interested to know what the numbers were.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, And you know, I almost went down to University
Hospital because I've watched so many episodes of VR. I
think I could run a triage.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, I think you could too, Right, you gotta you
gotta be able to say it clear yes and stats
and then how you got it down.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And then when when you're giving giv me meds, you
just have to say push the meds.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
You need to go scrub up and just do a
couple of rounds later today.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Are you ready this?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
And say, I concur yes a lot. Uh, but uh,
but it And I know I'm kidding, but I watched
pitt which is about a University of Louisville hospital like
in Pittsburgh, and uh and of course e R and
they have those events where something like that happens where
it's a plane crash and they have to triage like

(09:14):
in the military, you know where they have you know,
where they have to assess who is the worst off
outside the hospital and then take them in right so
who can we save right now? Who can wait?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And that is you want good people in those spots
at that time.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I wonder if part of that process is who's beyond saving?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
No, that is exactly That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
It makes look the way of having to make that decision.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, imagine, yeah, you see saving Private Ryan when they're
on the on the beach and he says and he
keeps turning around, and he goes, he goes, he's gone,
and then goes to the next guy. He's had morphine
because they write morphine in their own blood on their
forehead to know that the next guy doesn't give a
morphine because it could kill him. Do you want to
pull Scott? Call him up here for the last couple
of minutes, here, Scott, come on up here, buddy, man,

(10:05):
come on up here, buddy, jump on up here. We've
made this set up on up You didn't even you
didn't do the leap. You're winning up the stairs like
an old person.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Oh we were. We've made this song as awkward as
we can. He wait, what do we want to throw
those on with that perfect hairline?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
He's uh, he's hated in our friend group because if
his hair is so fantastic, that man.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
So for the fact that I have it fixed me
at the top of the list in our friend.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I joked I talked about earlier about Canopy should be
known by more people. How how did you get involved
with Canopy?

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Really about you know, Tony? You probably remember years ago
when I was off in college, my dad passed, I
took over the janitoral business and I figured out real
quick that if I didn't uh figure out a way
to run a business that put people forward, that put
community forward out there in Shelbyville, I was gonna have
a hard time. And so it's just really about me
figuring that out and saying, gosh, there's a lot of

(11:06):
other companies that are doing this already, and what if
we can get a whole bunch more while doing it together?
How could that impact our community? So that's really how
it happened.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Is Canopy your idea, the name or the idea?

Speaker 4 (11:16):
So the concept, the name came from a branding agency
who did that all pro bono for us. Because I
believed in all this, came on board and said, you
can't call it the Kentucky Business Association for doing good
business in Kentucky or whatever we were operating with. And
so Canopy, Canopy, Canopy. All our printers and T shirt
makers are like, yes, yes, you had.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
An NFL play.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Why Yeah, I give speeches that I was halfway through
by the time I said the name, and.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's just terrible. Scott's a great guy. He's part of
our friend group, and Canopy is a fantastic idea, and
I see all of the businesses. I know half of
these businesses already, and they are involved because it's an
organic situation where these business the people that are here
always seem to be the same thread. They're different businesses,
but they're along the same thread of they give back

(12:09):
what you just said, give back to community. They're involved,
and they're looking to make a little money too. They're
a business you got it.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah, So, I guess one way to really simply put
it is you're kind of flipping the idea around. I
guess maybe more traditionally you'll have businesses that do really
well and say, Okay, how do we want to help
the community now that we've done really well. Right, we're
flipping that around, saying, you know what we can do
really well if we start integrating this into our business
model early, and that if you do that changes things.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Who is your title sponsor? He's in there speaking now.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
LPX Group, he was standing, Yeah, right there, it's LPX Group,
huge construction company. They do all kinds of things cross town.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, okay, you come back on with us in a
little bit. How do people get a hold of you?
If somebody's listening now, they're thinking, I want my business
involved in this. How do they get a hold of Canopy?

Speaker 4 (12:56):
What's your cell number? Tom?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, you have it.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
I just I just wrote it all the conventions restaurant wall.

be out here again in forty five minutes. We might
have the mayor. We might have Jody Myman from Metro
Safe coming on, we will have Mary Walter's coming on
talking about when this shutdown is going to end, and
we're all going to be really upset. If they waited
to the election to get over and then just went, Okay,
election's over, let's pass it.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
I wonder if I guess people out there listening are
probably really interested in the whole.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Will they won't stay with me and Mary Walter? The
tensions always.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Still Yeah, No one's thinking that cut it with a knife,
especially Mary Walter.

Welcome back News Radio eight forty WHS Tony and Dwicho
brought you by the Kentucky Offensive Highway Safety. We're broadcasting
live from the International Convention Center downtown with Canopy. Canopy
is a good business partner started by a couple of
guys that really had to figure it out on their
own and said, boy, I wish we had help with this,
and the businesses in this group are the ones that

(17:02):
give back to the community.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Hey, hey, John Alden, what uh the the head of
the head of Canopy, I asked, I asked the head
of Canopy, what canopy was it?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh that's the same joke.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I want to I want to tell you, John Auden,
did you did twice?

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I heard I tell you that right into the president.
She's covering her ears.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, she doesn't want to hear it. Okay, so Jody
myman is not gonna be able to make it. He
actually has to go down to the press conference.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Look at me important, I run a city. I'm too
important for your show.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
I'm watching. Uh, I'm watching this show on this girl
that has Tourette syndrome.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I gotta start watching this.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Bailey or Biley is her name. I watched three episodes
last night. I'm sure it's not it's it's not a
it's not a traditional name. But she's the sweetest. She's
so funny, she's hilarious. She's turned her thing into comedy
because she would just be miserable if she didn't. And
you start to really because she tries to do the act,
but then it comes down and she she's miserable, like

(18:16):
because she cannot function. She has a very high level
of turettes. The show is called Bailing out Loud, is
what you're thinking.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Balen White platforms is I gotta watch it Netflix, I think.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
And she has three brothers and a sister so it's
a family of this huge family and they're awesome. They're
in West Virginia and they're an awesome family, and they
give each other all kinds of hell. They make it
a joke.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, well Tom, maybe commedian Tom Mabe. He actually has
tourettes as well.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right, Yes, that's it, Bayleen bailing out out.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
He actually has tourettes as well, and part of his
act he talks about that. And I'm paraphrasing of this.
I'm not delivering the line the way it should be,
but here it goes. He says something along the lines
if he's the worst person to take to an auction, because.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yes, well most of them are like that. They make
a joke out of it. Like she the worst experience
is her trying to get through TSA and the airport
or go to the grocery like a TSA. They flew
to Dallas for this thing, so triggers her tics or
just something she might read. So they had the picture
of the gun, so she just starts going, I have
a gun. Whoah, I have a gun? Who I have

(19:27):
a gun? Wood And her mother just sits there stoic,
And then every time she sees a bald person. She
has to say, you're bald, you're bald, you're bald, And
she has to do it three times. She can't do
it once or twice. She has to do it three times. Uh.
And it's the whole show is about her trying to
be sufficient enough and them trusting her to live on

(19:48):
her own, like to live in an apartment. And right
now she cannot do that.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Hey, I cannot concentrate because I'm looking at Bardel's Pizza
right across the street from us.

Speaker 2 (19:59):

t is Hey, please, you're embarrassing yourself, Mary Wall every
single time. We don't have the time for the wall.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Dude, Dwight Witton's going to get you married.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Wall, No boy, Welcome back News Radio eight forty w
a chance with International Convention Center here in little downtown Louisville,
Kentucky with Cannon. They are a business summit going on
today with the businesses local and regional. They give back
to the community. And Mary Walter is on the phone
with us.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Mary, what the hell?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
What happened? What happened Tuesday night? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Okay, Well, first of all, Dwaight, thank you for this song.
But you're at a convention center and the idea is
to bring people in, not drive them out.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
You have no you have no idea. The faces of
the people in this room and acoustics here are beautiful.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
They can't get out because there's dogs circling the building.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now, yes, yes, yes, all right, yeah, what's your biggest
takeaway from Tuesday?

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Okay, So here's the thing. I am totally shocked. I
am in shock, and I was covering it live on
my podcast and with another person, Jersey Guy here who's
part of the Republican Lawyers Guild in New Jersey, and
I'm shock we're both telling it what the heck because
the polls were so wrong, so wrong, and none of

(23:06):
it makes sense. Listen to this. For the last fifty
years in New Jersey would have about two million giver
or take voters and the winner got between one point
one and one point four million votes for the last
fifty years. But this past election on Tuesday, there were
now somehow over three million voters and the Democrat got
one point seven million votes.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Wow, so it's mathematically impossible or not.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
I'm not saying that, but I will say that something
feels off about the entire thing she had. First of all, seriously,
I know third graders with more common sense she is.
She's what the Democrats have started to run, a blank
piece of paper, flimsy, you can see through it, no background.

(23:55):
They started it with Obama like the ball, aren't you great? Smile?
You know, the whole bit. But she stands for nothing.
When she was that, you've seen the video of when
she was asked about what would you do? You know,
if you're elected mayor, what's the first governor? What was
the first thing you would do? And she hemmed and
hawed like Kamala Harris has better interview skills than her.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Right, Oh my.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
God, stop godh that can't be true.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
We call her Vanilla Harris. Everybody calls her Vanilla Harris.
So so it's something something doesn't feel right about it.
And I don't know if that's a great response, but
the whole thing Tuesday night, everybody was just like, what
the hell just happened? This is not right, it's weird.
He had all of the enthusiasm he was gaining in

(24:41):
the polls the last two poles, two poles then that
day had him one point down and they called it
at eight thirty. Wait what wow?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, I saw that. And they flipped some of those
areas you know they had you know, they had the
map up and they said they had light blue for
barely win in that area and then dark blue for
just crushing it. And they basically said areas in the
national in the presidential election that were light blue went
dark blue in those areas and that's where they won

(25:13):
and that's where they gained votes. And I think what
they tried to play it off, Mary, and you tell
me this is that the exit polling said we were
more worried about the economy and not paying bills rather
than anti Trump or for Trump situation.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
Well, and I believe that, but that just goes to
show the stupid, the ignorance of the voters. And I'm sorry,
but to assume that people are informed, I think is folly.
The Prince of Anser in New Jersey is under three dollars.
I think it's like two eighty seven something like that,
and they pump it for you.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, it's by law, yeah, it's by law law.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Wait, eggs, eggs went to the I went to the
grocery store. Eggs were like a buck eighty seven something
like that, you know, just below a dollar ninety somewhere
like that. Two years ago there were over four dollars.
What are you talking to you? Other affordability in New
Jersey is the electricity, which she refused to speak out
against because the Democrats destroyed and decommissioned six power plants

(26:15):
in this state because they're all going for nuclear and
not excuse me for solar and wind, for that folly,
for that ridiculousness. She has no plan, but people don't
think that far, and that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Let's let's talk about New York.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
And out of the frying can, end of the fire.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh my god, it's it's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
The two questions how long until that affects tourism? And
then second question is when it comes to NYPD, will
there be a mass exodus because he.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Was all in on the fire chief quin.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, the fire chief quit yesterday. How bad is this
get or does it?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Well to just see the video. He's a asking money
for money for the transition. Less than less than twelve
hours after he was elected mayor, he puts out a
video asking people for money for the transition because it's
going to take a lot of money and so you
can sell. It's like Zell he's got he's got a
website that you can you can send him money. He's

(27:18):
asking the people. Yeah, oh yeah, it's great. You got
to you gotta find it. He's he's out there asking
for money. And here's the thing. Think of the irony
of this. Think about he won because these useful idiots
are like, yeah, I can get it's too expensive to
live here, and I'm going to get free transportation, and
my rent's never going to go up, and the grocers

(27:39):
are never going to go up because it's going to
be run by the government because it's too expensive. They
don't have any money. Apparently they're poor, and he's on
the side of the poor, but he's asking them to
give him money. How does that work?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
What is the now? How much is it of the
party that's in power in the White House or the Senate.
They those voters get complacent and like, I'm not going
to vote today, and the other side that's out of
power is super motivated, and all those guys get to go.
They all get to the to the voting ballot. I mean,
that's that's that's something pretty normal, right.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
It is.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
But I think, okay, so I think New York and
New Jersey are different. I think in New York, the
young communists, the blissfully ignorant. I don't I don't make
enough money to pay taxes. Crowd just went to the
polls and droves, I really do. I think that they
drove that and it's not none of it's going to
affect them because don't make any money. They don't care,

(28:37):
right until they start taxing, like way down or they
can't pay for these things and the city descends into chaos.
The lack of policing all these young women who are
like oh, and women overwhelmingly voted for Mom, Donnie, you
big dumb bunnies because they're the ones who are going
to be the victim of crime. They're going to go
after women before they go after men because men can
fight back. So these women are are idiots. In New Jersey,

(29:02):
I think it was in New Jersey. I don't think
it was. They'm not getting post because they were minds
at polling places to vote early. It doesn't make sense.
I don't get it in New Jersey. I think New
Jersey the people who voted against her, the vote voted
for her were voting against Trump.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
One of the things that he tauted his platform on
is I want to do rent freezes in New York.
And that was attractive to people, along with free rent
and free groceries and all the other craft is promised
in a system that never works.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
But is that that's beyond his power? Is Mary?

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Or is it not? To me?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, there's certain things he can't do, like the state.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
And I think you get the best example the other
morning you said it's like a kid running for class. Hey,
we have free pizza every Friday, just spending out stuff
that people want to hear. But when it comes to
freezing rents, uh, from what I understand, correct me if
I'm wrong, is there's only a small percentage in New
York that can be frozen. And then on top of that,
he has nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Or maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yeah, So the rent freeze thing is interesting because mom
Donnie is a Nepo baby who had a million dollar
wedding in Uganda that went on for three days with
private security. His parents are one of the largest compounds
in Uganda and their engagement party was on a rooftop
in Dubai. But yet he lives in rent subsidized housing
rent from you in New York.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Wow, Uh it is.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
I don't know. But to answer your question, it would,
it would. There's a rent guidelines board in New York
that is appointed by the MegaR. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Okay, okay, there you go.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right, Okay the million dollar question. Also, I know
claim Buck we're talking about this, uh Cuomo and the beret.
If there was just one or the other one, you know,
one of them, would there have been a chance that
they that they beat him because a lot of people
are just putting on that they split the vote over there,
but did they did that end up killing that side?

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Well, if you added the early on, if you if
if Curtius Lee would checked his ego at the door,
which he which he is incapable of doing. Had he
done that, I think that Andrew Cuomo might have beaten Mamdani.
It would have been I don't think all of the
people that he that all of his supporters would have
crossed over to Cuomo, but I do think there are

(31:24):
quite a few who would have. In the beginning of
the night, Cuomo was actually beating Mondami early and then
of course Mondanni caught up. And then if you when
you were adding together the Sliwa and Cuomo votes, he
was they were Cuomo would was adding would have beaten
Mondami in the end, it wasn't. In the end, it

(31:45):
wasn't enough. But I wonder if it would have made
a difference if Curtius Lee again could have checked his
freaking ego and even campaigned with ma'am dying and said,
we don't agree on everything, but he is a Democrat.
A bad democrat is better than a communist.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yeah, but seriously, you wouldn't want and maybe this is
naive and me I would have voted for see. I mean,
come on, he started the Guardian Angels if you want,
if you want to play them New York.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
You know, I don't know where he is financially and
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
But it's still I'm sorry, it's still mind bending that
someone is running on a platform that I'm a communist
and they won the election in the biggest city in America,
Like we are my brain is I'm, I'm, I'm. There's
a lot of times in the last five or six
years that I've said, am I taking crazy pills? Like
this is one of them. I cannot believe how many
people are like, oh yeah, no socialism, that'll work, Like

(32:35):
are you what what world am I living in?

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Just pick up a history book.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Just disqualifiers. At some point, remember Kennedy was like an
outside chance to go to the run for president because
he was a Catholic. You know, it was just like,
I don't know, he's Catholic. The disqualifiers used to be
a lot. You know, there's just a lot more.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Of votes if you're for socialism, Just do yourself a favor,
find yourself. One Cuban American and just and sit down
and have a conversation with him. I promise you it
will change your mind.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
All right, So let's make you a sports sports predictor here. Okay,
so uh yeah, well no, I'm going to do politics.
So you're going to tell me what's going to happen
moving forward the next couple of years in Jersey and
New York. As an unfold, if you could write down,
if you can write down four or five things and
you don't have to say four or five things now,

(33:26):
and put it in an envelope, seal it and date it,
and then unopen it and open it up in two years,
you know, what would you think is going to happen?

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Okay, well first, just one quick thing. First, we solve
this problem of what's going on with all these liberal voters.
Eighty one percent of young women voted for ma'am Donnie
in New York, eighty percent voted for Sheryl in New Jersey,
and seventy eight voted for Spamburger in the We can
figure out if we can figure out a way to
keep liberal women for voting for like two cycles, cleanse

(33:56):
everything up. I don't know how we do it, but
but if we could figure it out some like tell
them they're like, instead of telling tell them on election
day there's a free drum circle down the road, and
they'll all go to the drum circle instead of going
to vote. We could do that. Okay, So what's gonna happen?
I do think that, Mom, Donnie. What's gonna happen is
he's not gonna be able to do ninety percent of
the stuff he promised because he has the New York

(34:17):
State Legislature to to contend with, and I don't think
they're going to go along with the majority of the
things that he wants to do. He's going to blame
the state legislature, and when that stops working out, he's
gonna blame Trump. It's everything's gonna be trumps fault. Tump's fault.
So he he does what they do, over deliver, he's
gonna under He's going to over promise, under deliver. But
I still think they're going to be happy and they're
going to be all aggrieved because it's Trump's fault. And

(34:40):
it continues, the city's going to have more crime, and
I think you're going to see a lot of people
move out, and so they're going to lose quit. I
would think a good chunk, not a good chunk, But
I would say they're going to lose a percentage of
their tax space, which is going to exacerbate their problems.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Out there immediately.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
Well, it's easier said than done. It's it's I have
a friend who runs a third generation restaurant in New
York and he's like, when are you coming in to
see me? I'm like, I'm like, dude, the paperwork for
getting stabbed is really extensive, and I don't have that
kind of time.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
So look, I don't think you just brought up crime
and we got about two minutes here. You brought up crime.
I think the you said miss it uninformed, not misinformed.
But also but Americans have slept on the fact that
the most dangerous cities in the world are now here.

(35:32):
It used to be, Oh, I'm not going to that
country or I'm not going to go to that city.
I don't think it's safe. Well, guess what those cities
that you thought were unsafe, they probably are. But we
have more dangerous cities here than we do overseas.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I was I was in Manhattan about a month month
ago or so, and and I felt more like more
safe there. Like I was looking over my shoulder the
whole time, you know, walking up walking up Seventh Avenue
to get to a place on Broadway, I'm looking on
both every time I had to stop at a light
and I couldn't jaywalk I had, I was looking to

(36:10):
see who was next to me, to see if I
was going to get like my throat flash.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Right.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
I felt safer there than I did in Israel the
month before.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah. Yeah, my son spent six months in Madrid for school,
and he's like, Dad, kids are playing in the street,
there's old people sitting on benches. He was just like,
there's no crime. There's no He was like, there's no crime.
And he was just like, and he's twenty He was
twenty one at the time, and he had not experienced
that in his lifetime America. Like he was like, this

(36:38):
looks like a scene from from the past. But yes,
there there are places in the world that.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
My wife and I like to uh summer and vacation
in Gary, Indiana.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Even Yeah, well we're I think Louisville has surpassed Gary,
Indiana for some homicide rate. All right, Mary, we love you,
good luck, and we'll keep you on the on the
dial here. Thank you so.

interesting that you respect the clock when it's me. That's
