He's an avowed virulent anti-semite. The guy is starting these attacks on our community. He's instigating it. He's giving fuel to the fire. He's hinting about how much he would wink and nod for terrible protests when BB Netanyahu comes for the ga the general assembly, which could lead to riots in the street. He's already saying he wants it. No mayor encourages riots when a foreign leader comes to town with winks and nods and then you go meet with him so you can get money more money for the lunch program. When do the community stand up and say no? >> Welcome to our oneyear anniversary to the Clappy and Frank show. I can't believe the day has finally arrived. >> You thought it would happen or no? >> So, we made a promise that we're going to do a one year no matter what. And now we're making another promise to our followers. We're going to be around minimum five years. >> 10 years. >> Five year minimum. I don't know what's going to happen. >> We'll still be together. We're going to get into >> I don't know what's going to happen to the world of podcasting, but the Clappy and Frank show is going strong. We looked at the numbers. The highest rated guest that we've ever had is the legend. >> Most views. >> Yeah. >> Is the legend Bruce Bman >> Bruce Bman is back in the studio by popular demand. The viewers decided because he is just skyrocketing. >> I don't know why, but yeah. >> Bruce has a very colorful background in politics. >> Correct. He's been volunteering and working for campaign since the 1990s. >> No, I've never volunteered. >> Always paid. >> What do you first volunteer? >> No, I volunteered the first the when I started the I I volunteered for about 3 weeks to a month until I got paid. But that was 26 years ago. >> You proved yourself that you're worth every penny. >> Yeah. And there probably wasn't anybody else around, but yes, both being true. Bruce is also a top executive in a news media company which Mishi always drinks that jokes that news media companies won't exist very shortly because podcasters are taking over the world. That's a famous argument we always have. >> He's also a top hotel year. You run a very very very successful powerful Pesak program. Besides running a very pure packed PE one university or what >> did you did you just run a a big event? You were like a consultant for a big conference. Yeah, I oversaw the catering at the Ji retreat for Kabad >> which was a huge success. >> I hope so. >> How much money did they raise over Shabas? How much money did they raise on Shabas? >> I don't know but it was a very successful Shabas. I don't want to call numbers. I wasn't in the room but over it was I don't know. I heard over six million. It's a good number. The organization does a lot of good work and there's they're the premier educational arm today in the entire network around the world with stuff in multiple languages with programs for Schlukim and rabbis and online. I mean it's it's a growing msid. I mean it's a messed that's worth it's an organization worth supporting. >> Bruce, can we talk about our oney year anniversary? Jumping. >> What are you jumping to this? >> Yeah. One year one year anniversary. >> I'm all for JI. >> First of all, we have to thank the people. It's all about Hakkar Sat. We have to thank the people that saw the vision, believed in it, and stand by us. Obviously, I'm thanking I'm thankful to Moshi >> for giving me the courage. I want to thank my wife. I'm sure Moshi thanking his spouse. We also want to thank our first corporate sponsor that ever said that he will back us financially and that is the Kabakov from CH Butcher. >> I actually had a first corporate sponsor who said they're going to back us then they backed out. >> It was the coffee company. >> That's why we're launching our own coffee. >> We're almost a minute away from launching >> Kabakov has good meat. >> So the Kabak >> and he's working on trying to get um I was spoke to him recently about cuz I wanted to buy meat for something. He's working on trying to get the OU in addition to CHK so that it has a wider distribution outside of just not for the Crown Heights community but for New York in general. >> There's people that will trust the U over CHK. >> Yes. >> Clap to think our editors are weekly editors. >> It's not a question of trust. It's a question in the world of Kashras with distribution and stuff like that. >> There is some trust issues. >> No, it's not a tr I don't want to go into trust. I don't have but I'm saying um no the U is is the premier distributor if you want to be able to distribute in schools and institutions you should university I mean the U is a very important nursing homes everybody wants that U stamp >> so we have uh to thank many people I hope we don't forgive I hope we don't forget anybody and if we do please forgive us that was not intentional we love you all we want to thank Ellie and Yakov Langer for giving us the inspiration to make our own podcast >> um >> you will tell talk about the story how we started started after >> well they asked me to come on kosher money. >> Okay, tell us the story. >> I I looked the views going up every day. By the way, we had on somebody from >> Tell us how this show started. >> The story was I came into the show. >> They invited you. >> They invited me on to Kosher Money. It was a very successful episode >> and when I was leaving, they mentioned to me that maybe there's an idea of us starting a weekly podcast >> after show right on the day of filming. >> On the day of filming, you already mentioned and it didn't come to fruition. And when it didn't happen, I told Moshi, let's start our own podcast because we kept going viral. Now, here's the part we we haven't we we disagree about. Did I say let's start a show or you called me to complain exactly how it happened? >> I think history Well, we'll have to go over all the notes. What what I believe happened was is that I decided I'm going to do it on my own and you were you in theory were in, but I forced you to say this and this date. I said we're doing it this week. So, you found the first. >> So, when they said no, you said let's make our own or I said make make our own. That part I want to >> I'm not I'm not sure. >> Okay. Could we ever we're never going to know, right? I was watching I was I wanted to say something. I was watching on might shabas a a video from the rabbi gmitt from the altonel what's it called al >> and he gave a series on on Jewish leaders and he was talking about rashi and he's he made a big emphasis that rashi multiple times >> says I don't know he wrote ones he wrote on Mishna he's the biggest writer in the Jewish world and he writes I don't know >> by the way you should know some of the smartest people in the world are the ones who are able to say I don't know and it's the dumb ones who are not because they think that acknowledging that you don't know something is a sign that you're not smart where very often it's the opposite. How many people you talk to, they say they don't know and then they pretend to know and makes it even worse >> which is it goes to show you the point that you know it's okay to say I don't know I don't have all the right answers. I want to thank uh Avon Manakim Neelkin, our weekly >> editor, >> editor, thumbnail creator, and Mandel and Jujier, our weekly reals director, and one of our early sponsors, Wills Ciss. >> Real top of top of the line. >> You should know Will Ciss for some reason is many people's earliest uh advertiser. That's the way life works. You have the early adapters always, right? There's like a phase. Anytime it's a new product, new branch, something certain people will be the first to try and those people are sort of and people wait almost for the next group of people want to know okay they ask the early adopters what do you think then the next phase then there's different phases and people and actually >> some people like to get in early because it's it's it's more affordable. >> Well, they work at the good pricing. Yeah. From the >> it's it's a good opportunity. I I advertised in a newspaper for Pes this year. >> Yeah. And um I was very excited and I think I have to pay my bill. I'm being honest. Um I was invoiced and I thought that they distributed thousands of copies in Florida and I think they distribute like 300. I mean like I don't I mean know it was a you know normally that was I'm not mad. I have to take care of you get even I was very frustrated. Put it down cuz I went to Florida in supermarkets like the following week and I couldn't find the paper anywhere. So I was like who gets this paper? Is it like a secret paper? like as an inside club. So, uh, >> nothing in Florida really functions in the front world. >> No, because the Florida doesn't I was in Florida. I was in Florida last night and I went to dinner with my son after the JLI retreat. I was on the way to the airport. I went to a restaurant and everything there is just different. It's just slow and calm and things don't come out on time and it's okay and don't worry and like you don't have this on the menu. It's fine and everybody's just like nobody really cares much things. There's something about hot weather and Jews. The colder it gets, the more strident they are. Like look at the Jews of Montreal. I mean, they're they're intense. Mishi would be an expert in this because his wife's from there and I'm from there. They're like fighting over every everything. Go out to Florida. It's fine. Don't worry. It's okay. Everything's going to be good. >> It's not a big deal. But the the vibe is just so so so different. >> So again, a guy tells you he's distributing thousands of magazines with your advertisement. You find out a barely >> I don't know if he told me that. I don't want to accuse him of being a liar. I just had a vision that it was like a real newspaper that was like going places and it is not. No, cuz the in New York those you know the free papers on Fridays there's like 20 of different they're like thick papers with articles and everybody has one on their chabas table or on the couch on chabas and they flip through it to see what's happening in the community right I mean Florida has nothing and I had a vision that there was something so I got excited and like I called friends do you know what it's I've never seen it I don't know about it like if you say five towns Jewish times or you say uh flatbush Jewish home. >> Five Jewish home. Jewish times. Um, what's the other one? >> The link. Link. >> Five towns. Jewish homes. I met him in the pizza shop in one. He's a good guy. >> He's a Gishmaka guy. >> He refused to be on camera. I wanted to take a selfie with him. He was >> No, but like Florida like the people are just they don't they just don't care. >> You know what's funny about the five? >> Like everything's just very chilled, very relaxed, very like go about your day. They don't have that New York intensity. >> He's a five towns guy and became so like >> he's Yeah. And now he's like pay the whole deal. >> It's very >> It's very big in the five towns to become like modern kasides with >> it. No. Yeah. Yeah. >> Because of Kaidesh. >> No, because the five towns is it it's it works for the five towns. >> But he moved to Bur Park. >> Yeah. >> He he left the five towns and went to bar. No, that's rare. Usually they >> Exactly. Never happened. >> I There's Beckisha guys going around in the five towns, you know, and then and then they're at the beach club on Sunday. It's like it's the five towns. So you find I find that five towns has all the gifted talents. >> I have a friend who tells me of our told me once as a new they asked me like who's your pes clientele. So he's something called fashivish or fashivish it's called which is five towns yivish. It's still yeshivish. It's not modern orthodox but it's not lakewood. It's like I say it's like people whose kids learn in the mirror and they still go to the beach club. It's beach club people because the beach clubs on Sunday in the five towns are full of very very families. And we're not talking a modest dress. Like they're wearing, you know, it's it's modest beach club attire and modest everything and kosher snacks at the beach. It's just there's a certain l It's almost like it's almost like the it's almost like the uh the gateway drug to Florida. Like it's almost there. We're not there yet, but we're on the way there. >> There's a few people in the five towns that are bringing up the community in >> Kadusha >> for sure. >> Rock stars. This guy, Rabbi Yasi Zakinsky, is that his name? >> Yeah, he's he's next level. >> I watch his sharam. He's on fire. He >> forget that he's on. Go to the shul there on Shabas. It's it's more it's more Lebedict than any place you're ever going to go. And it's he's not the only one. There's more. There's like another guy on Broadway in in in Woodmir. I forget the name. I'm sure one of your viewers will know. Um it's far from me, so I've never been, but I've been to the Thank you, Hashem. >> You know how I bumped into Zakintinsky? Isn't it the same rabbit zakadinsky t? >> I don't know. There's a lot of I'm not involved. I ded in years ago, so I'm not an expert in all these places, but there there's a certain What do you mean the the Sephardic synagogue in Cedarst, the minion factory thing? Go there on any day. It's not normal what's going on. There could be 500 people in there on a shakus on a Sunday packed five minion, snacks, people coming, going mick from the basement. It's like it's like a thing. Can't find parking anywhere. There's no parking. And and the guy did everything without permits. makes everybody crazy. He's like he's he's he's brave. He's he's uncusha. Doesn't care. You need a permit to put in a men's mikvah. I don't care. I'm gonna put in a men's mikvah. They'll find out after. I'm gonna expand and do this, do that. I think he's just like doing whatever he wants. He doesn't care. There's a lot of big donors outside of the five towns who are giving money. I think I I know that laser shiner is a big donor or was um and he's like taking over the neighborhood. If you start off with one storefront now, I think he owns an entire block of just like buildings that connect to buildings that connect to buildings. Also this week we have >> Have you been Have you been to You have to go to the menu. Is there free food? >> Free food 24 hours a day. Snack room. Their food's coming in getting dropped off. Bottles of wine, toiletry items, uh tissue boxes to take home that some guy had too much. People at the end of the day, Gourmet Glatta like dropping boxes of food there. It's just like putting out food. A guy. It's just a lot going on. >> So I bumped into this guy, Robert Zakinsky, I think a few years ago. Listen to what happened on tissue. very holy >> tish of night. >> Mhm. >> He was talking about the I felt it. I literally felt it. He had hundreds of people sitting around. He's literally like a >> Reb. >> The next day I logged on to the shul for >> Shakas. Uhhuh. >> The crying the crying that was going on. The crying that was going on >> from him or the people. >> Him. The way he was talking about I felt it was real. >> It is. >> I want to tell you why most people when they talk I don't feel like it's real. It's like a show. with him. It felt real. >> No, but he's there's a reason why you have guys going there. I mean, he's he's like a reba. I mean, people get up when he walks in the room, they go to bring >> That's how it's supposed to be for every >> which which which Schulen Crown Heights is that happening. >> We have to work on it. We have to work on cover. >> Maybe maybe you know it's a two-way street. Okay. You can't expect that if you're not going to be that. Okay. I don't want to criticize anybody now, but like you know, you have to walk the walk if you want to if you want to talk to better walk the walk. I mean, Rabbi Zakatinsky, you saw him. You you're telling me you felt that it was real. When it's real, people respond accordingly. If they don't think it's real, they don't respond accordingly. My first real sponsor ever on my social media was Card Right. >> Card Wright is amazing. >> The great Geller. >> The Card Right is like a family to me. Him and what's the guy? The guy that runs at the Cardate. No card. >> Card, right? It's an app. >> It's an app. Credit card. >> What do you do with it? >> They tell you, they consult with you which credit cards to get. So, they in honor of our one-y year anniversary said they want to sponsor this month. >> Yeah. >> So, shout out to Kaim Geller. Great guy. >> The way Card Right is is >> I pay them when it comes to No, no. >> I just want to let you know in the world of vendors, some people pay a week, two weeks late, three weeks late, a month late. Pes Bruce still didn't pay. Pesak vendor. I have two >> one >> two I have two vendors. I got an email yesterday >> from a gentleman who works with me. A gentleman who works with me. He says, "You didn't pay this." >> I'm like, "I'm not a psychic. I don't pay bills I don't have." >> So, if you don't send me if you don't send me a bill, um, I can't pay it. So, I got the bill and I have to take care of it today. >> So, I want to say Carvite pays before you hang up the phone after you close it. The money's right in your account. So, I want to do a shout out. People usually don't talk. Oh, they they buy points. >> No, >> no. Let me explain what Card Ride is because everybody I know already uses it. It's on Apple. It's on Android. It's free. >> You want to decide which credit card to use. You tell you on your lifestyle. It's three, four questions and they tell you for this. >> Oh, that's amazing. >> Get this credit card. For this, get that credit card. >> So, it tells you when you go to a restaurant, use MX Gold. >> Exactly. When you go to a gas station, you write where you are. You ask which one of my cards use. It keeps profile on your cards. It recommends cards. >> Who came up with this? It's amazing. Millions of people already. I know him. Bob Ever guy. >> Yeah, makes sense. He's probably smart guy. >> Very smart. Great. But I said he pays in a second. People don't talk about vendors. How long it takes paying >> when he advertises? >> No, I pay I mean I pay in vendors saying in general 99% of people call me back tomorrow. Let me talk to my secretary. Let me this. Let me that. There's they have like there's a there's a uh they go into chat GBT and they ask how can I avoid paying a bill and they give you responses every time another answer. I already used these five answers. What's the next five response? So I'm just I want to do a shout out to the great client galler. >> Everybody should be using card right to know which cards to use. >> Now how does he make money then? >> Oh when you sign up for card he gets affiliate sponsors. >> Okay. They pay a lot of money. >> You go to the New York Post or Wall Street Journal they have crazy affiliates. If you look, there's a credit card section at CNBC.com. Affiliates pay a lot of money to get people to sign up for. Yeah, for sure. >> I didn't know about this. This is fant. I mean, I know this stuff cuz I learned a lot of it myself. Like I know in a restaurant MX gold card, but you don't use your platinum card for that. Use your platinum card for other things. >> Depends for what. >> Bruce, are you surprised we're celebrating one year anniversary or not? >> No, not at all. I told you this was a good idea. >> Why? >> Because people don't only want to talk about serious things. People want to talk about regular life. Not everybody wants to be like, not everything has to be about like emotions and tears. It's a lot of people just want to talk about like stuff like what cool products are coming out and where to go and what to do and what's going on in this and that. Once a program gets too serious, a lot of viewers don't have the patience to watch serious. It's intense. A lot of the stuff's too intense. Some people just want to watch stuff just, >> you know, in the olden days TV, which shows the highest ratings? The ones that were easy to digest. They were simple because you were discussing things that were relevant and they weren't requiring somebody like be so emotionally invested in a topic because some of these things some of these podcasts and they're valuable but I mean it's you know it's you set yourself up for it. Sure. Of course. And that's not a bad thing but people don't want that all the time. Sometimes you eat steak and sometimes you want cookies and candy. How do you class? How do you classify? What's a We'd have to category in Netflix. Where would they put us? Under what? >> I mean, it's more comedic. I think I think most of your deaths are more comedic and then there's like moments of serious. It's kind of like a 1980s sitcom. >> 1980s sitcom. >> Yeah. Where there's moments of seriousness surrounded by just very easy, nice, digestible content. There was always seriousness on those shows in the 80s. There was always one or two moments of seriousness in an episode >> and then the rest of the show was just like funny jokes and joking around and making >> So you call it comedy. Our show is more comedy. >> I would call it comedy. I would call it situation. It was called situation comedy in those days. Those were the shows. >> Sitcom sitcom sitcom situation comedy. >> Seinfeld was a good example. Seinfeld wasn't cuz Seinfeld was really a show about nothing. You're not really a show about nothing, but you're more like those 1980s sitcoms where there was a valuable message, but the valuable message was like a nugget in a larger thing that was not was more just entertaining >> cuz we >> people like to be entertained. People don't only want to go and hear dashas and make them cry. I mean, there's a value to that, but not like all day. At some point, you run out of tears >> or you don't you can't produce them anymore. You're saying some of the some of the shows I was about to say some of the comedies some of the shows are trying to do tishabove events every week. >> Yeah, sure. We're labavich. We don't want to do tishabove when we have to do tishabove. We don't do tishab. We have to do tishabove. We don't do more than we have to do it. We labavich is you when you spend time outside labavich and no community is perfect but our view of the world is dramatically different in certain regards. We're always trying to find the positive in everything and we're always trying to focus on the on the positive in everything. Not that other communities aren't. It's just our cook is different. The cook was very different. I always used to hear almatkin would talk about the cook. Once was it a fabangan years ago about the cook like the Reba's view of things like the has a look and the way labaviches look at the world like labaviches are the people that are least impacted I find by anti-semitism. We're the least bothered by it. I'm a little more bothered by it because like I live in the five towns and you know >> the media. >> I'm in the med I'm in the media and I I have to read the news all day and I see like a restaurant gets blown up in Montreal. Who knows why? Uh bakery windows are smashed in Toronto. I mean, you know, a guy gets I mean, there's stuff going on in the world. And you know when I talk to Schlim particularly in places which you think are very dangerous they're the least worried about it. They're like even in Crown Heights a guy who tries to drive into 770. Ah let's dance like it's a totally different world view. >> Is it delusional or >> I think sometimes it's delusional or it's like ignorance. This is kind of like a very relaxed ignorance. >> Ignorance is bliss. >> Ignorance is bliss. And I think there's somehow where there was never this naive in our community that we thought that they really liked us when they were nicer to us. We've never lost that. We kind of know anybody who comes from a more background >> asak >> kind of knows that it's it's hard. You know, the Jewish community has all these things. I'm not going to go through like why Jews are great. Like I keep on seeing these stupid videos like did you know all the things Jews created that you should like love Jews? Like what? Like who's coming? People are putting money behind this. Did you know that you wouldn't have a polio vaccine if it wasn't for Jonah Sulk? And did you know that you wouldn't have this? And did you know you wouldn't have like hogenaz ice cream? I'm like, is this like supposed to like create love that there's hogand polio vaccines and like some cool app? Like what's up? Like you know, it's just like there's a disconnect. We we believe that by being ourselves, people will respect us. We don't believe taking off our yarmaka is going to engender any goodwill. We don't believe taking off our tits. I'm going to tell you a story. I had a kid who was my intern many years ago and he was a very smart kid. He ended up working in the White House. I'm not going to say his name. >> Will Sharf? >> No, but before in that >> Did you see that? >> I know Will Sharf. >> He's like becoming the biggest guy in the White House. >> Council is not the biggest guy. Chief of Staff's the biggest guy, but he's he's a big guy in the White House. >> The head of council. He's a big guy. He's not the biggest. >> He cheered our stuff on his I'm not surprised. He's a His father was the pres president of Parky Synagogue >> on the upper side. >> Talking about Park Bruce, >> I don't I'm still trying to understand it, but tell us about Parkies. >> I mean, I think maybe Rav Schneider came to terms with the fact that he's in his 90s. >> He's 96. I I Googled it. I Googled it yesterday. You know, >> tell can you tell our audience what happened? >> I don't really understand it. I read it just like you did. I haven't spoken to anybody. It's a tremendous achievement for Kabad. It's a good thing for the community. Kaban merged with Parky Synagogue >> in some capacities. It doesn't seem like it's universal in everything. I think there's certain things that are going to remain separate like the day school, but I want to go back to this story. I had a kid I worked with, very smart kid and I would always talk about Arthur Finkelestein. Um >> Bruce is obsessed. He >> was he was my mentor when I was younger. But I want to go to the point one second. I want to go to the point that is >> he's a political >> son. He's a political I'm going to go to it. Let me explain. Political son. I would say someone >> there's a big self-hating Jew Finkelestein. What's his name? The guy. The guy makes a lot. >> That's Norman Finkelestein. Not related. >> Finkelsteins could be a problem. >> When Arthur died out of nowhere, he donated trees in Israel. It was like he's like a relic from saying could be a problem. >> But no, but I'm going to not that there's good rabbi. There's a guy I think out in California. I'm sure he's fine. Um but no, he went out to a meal and um whatever. I don't want to go into Arthur's personal life, but he had a he wrote this article about the teacher of my teachers, this great article and um he went out to the to a meeting with them and it was today restaurant. Now he doesn't eat so they assume that you know the kid wrote an article how great this guy was. He hears about him. All the people I worked with he worked with and we all happened to work with Arthur and Arthur happened to die pass away when we were working with him. He was an interest. He wrote this article and it got published and it went around and his extended family loved it and they were thinking who's going to write his biography. So they took him out to a restaurant and he couldn't eat the food and >> your intern. >> My intern. >> Wow. >> Yeah. Which but disconnected in a strange way. His his next of kin family and um they took him out to restaurant and at the restaurant um they weren't so comfortable with like orthodox. Arthur wasn't very religious. He was an atheist. But they weren't comfortable with I mean he said he was an atheist but he probably wasn't but that's a separate thing but nobody's really an atheist when they put when the push comes to shove. There's no atheist in foxholes they say. And goes out and he um and he said it was an uncomfortable meeting because they didn't realize he was religious Jew. They didn't know who he was. And I said to him I said what do you mean they didn't realize who you were? I said, ' Did you wear your Yamaka? And he says, 'Well, it's a restaurant. >> I said, I'm telling you this as I know. I work in television in and around TV and media for a long time. Don't take off your yamaka. It's never going to benefit you ever. The benefit isn't there. Taking off your yarmaka is not going to help you. Don't take off yamaka. Don't take sitis. You want to tuck them in. That's separate. But don't take off yamaka. Don't think it's going to get you anywhere. There was a guy years ago who worked in Washington. Another person Jeff Balaban told me a story that he was an intern working I think in Senator Danfort's office or somebody on as a senator. He's brilliant from guy lives splits I think between West Hamstead and DC. He's a friend of mine. We don't speak a lot but I mean when I see him and he told me when he was younger he was trying to you know go up on the hill in I think the 80s and uh Arth and Rabbi Shampl used to do these events in Washington who was the Reb's representative to Congress and he would take him to he would do these events in um at the Congress for senators and governors they'd come there with like schnaps and cookies and say whatever and it was a Jewish event so he happened to go and Jeff told me that he comes in there and he sells him he learned in ner or whatever it was and says told him he should show us where weak because there's this theory that when we go into public places that it's going to do us some benefit. I've never seen it. >> I go into meetings I have a yamaka I have titis sometimes if I'm tired and lazy they're not even tucked in like a bach I could have been coming from the mikvah at 1414. Okay. If there is I don't even know if there's a mikvah for 749 749 a place that you know you go out not everybody comes out. Um you get you know it's that kind of place but I'm saying you could have walked out of the place and I'm it's not going to benefit you. It's not going to benefit you. I'm not the respect. I'm not a RV. I'm not it's just >> coming down to this. There are people who are convinced that Eba had a story with Frank Lottenberg >> where Frank Lottenberg >> was he? >> Yeah, this is a great story. It's on tape. I think it's on tape. I' I've heard it many times where Lottenberg said that after the Vietnamese were coming out of it was in the 70s. Um they needed the money to resettle them, schools, educational I mean these they were they were literally boat children. I mean they were they were escaping the the war the the the horrors of the Vietnam War. they came to America. So in those days Lottenberg later a senator then the head of ADP wealthiest one of the wealthiest Jews in the country a billionaire >> the got to put on film >> the got to do a lot of things but the told him in this particular thing this particular which is on tape I believe it's a two-hour in English which is unique because there's not a lot of tapes in the speak in English and uh to to a to a person of that length where they're having detailed you know nuance conversations with there's real back and forth not yes and like nodding and walking by you know Frank Lottenberg's a billion there in his own right he feels he can you know hold himself with anybody and he says that you know the asked where the money is going for Jewish education because the was always upsets that UJ was money u was not going to Jewish education was going to things related to not related so he says you have to put more he says yeah but we're putting money now we have to we're supporting a lot of the Vietnamese kids coming over for the UJ money so says uh money for Jewish education goes to Jewish education why is it going to supporting this so lotenberg tells tells that I care I we don't really care about this but we're doing it because it's good for our our image that says I do care about the Vietnamese children but the money shouldn't come from Jewish education you understand the there's a view that like be real if you're real is it going to save you all the time no but it's not going to benefit you not to be real and it's something that a lot of people I think labavatures on this issue of anti-semitism. I think that we're real walks in Milan on Shabas. Everybody's hiding their yamakas in their pocket. They have a heter not to carry yamaka in the streets. The because there's no I saw an guy I was in Milan last year working his house on Shabas walking in the streets going just going and he tells me I don't have issues. What do you mean you don't have issues? I'm sure there's issues but relatively speaking he's being himself. He's doing what he does. I'm not saying I always do it. I'm not going to say in places where I'm uncomfortable I haven't told my children to put on a baseball cap. Halai, they should keep their yamakas on all day. But I'm saying they're little and they're good to build the kinder. But um I say there's this thing where people are uncomfortable and they don't know how to handle it. So there's always this thing I remember with the in New York we have this we have this terrible mayor now. Okay. Literally literally literally a modernday sun is the likes of which I never thought I'd see in New York and worse than I could have even imagined. Every day just gets worse. Him, his wife, his administration, his policies. I mean, it's almost like a nightmare that I want to be woken up to. I wanted to bring up >> I want someone to shake me. >> I wanted to bring up a few things about him actually, >> but I wanted to go to this this this thing on on on this this this Mandani this this I mean this terrible terrible person person whatever you want to call him. And I'm being I'm being nice, >> Anthony. >> I'm nice. This this this manifestation of creation, okay? This terrible thing that's going on in New York, him, his policies, his people, his targeting of our community while saying he's not targeting our community. 5 years ago, I was trying to help fund raise for the New York State Senate because I had this vision that if we helped to take over the Senate, we can help with the veto. Like, oh, was like a bank shot in basketball. get more Republicans in New York State Senate, get more of those votes, and then you'll be able to have a veto on the craziness of the Democratic assembly and help the governor so he doesn't have to sign crazy stuff. Cuomo then, and I had a meeting with real estate guys, big real estate in Brooklyn. I went, a friend of mine was involved in a mendelkin. We're sitting in a room with them and they're all the guys 2,000 units, 5,000 units, 8,000 units, 3,000 units. And I said, you can't sustain with the Democrat. This is 5 years, 6 years ago. You cannot sustain with these people. They're not sustainable for you. You have to understand what's coming. What do you mean if we do this, if we do that? One guy said invite them for Shabas. Like for what? Like just stupidity. And these are rich people. I never realized how you can be so rich and be so stupid all at the same time. And I don't want to offend anybody, but it's true. I mean, you know real estate. You don't know this. And now 6 years later, the chickens are coming home to roost. People thought I was a crazy person. I was like Winston Churchill in the 30s warning about Hitler. You don't understand what's coming. No. What do you mean that you can manage with them? You can deal with them. No, you can't. You can manage them today, but it's temporary. This is where they're going. So maybe the train's not there yet, but it's going there. And if you stay on it, you're going to go to a very bad place. So how to handle it? I don't know if I have the right answer. What's the answer? But people >> What? to handle it. I mean, definitely not kissing up to this person is one. Meeting with him should is off limits. If he speaks in a room, turning your back at the 9/11 ceremony if he has the to show up is a requirement. If I was at the 9/11 ceremony, I was at the ground I was at the cornerstone laying of 911 uh at the at the Freedom Tower cuz I worked for Governor Pataki in those days. I was at I was there. I was you could see my like a little dot on the New York Daily News 20 something years ago. But if I was there, I would turn my back. I mean, I don't think there's anything else you can do. You don't want to not go because you don't want to not honor the memory. And he's not the only speaker. I hope. >> Bruce, on Friday, a few with a big satire on him met with Mayor Mana. >> They should have. >> Wait, wait, wait. Let me finish. >> And I had an argument with a friend of mine who's a famous. I'm not going to say his name. And he said, "It's disgusting. They should have never showed up. They should have never went." Now, I'm I'm I'm a little bit playing devil's advocate, but here's my thing. These akanim have hundreds hundreds of thousands of people that they're getting government help for their mist, their community, their businesses, their rent, their everything under the sun. This is the mayor of New York City. Hate him or love him, he's the mayor. Shouldn't they keep up a good image with him and at least try to suck up to him and be on his good side even though he's like the worst guy in the world? Wouldn't they be doing a disservice to their community by not being >> I agree with that point and I always have agreed with that point, >> but I unfortunately I don't think that that's getting you anywhere with him. You know, it's like if he thinks he can get away with this and you're still going to go meet with him anyways, well, you're not going to change his actions. So either you get with the program and realize that all this niceness I don't want to say touring museums in Jewish communities, he don't belong there. Okay? He doesn't he just doesn't belong there. He shouldn't be invited there. He's an avowed virulent anti-semite. A vowed. It's not a secret. His wife is, his father is, he is, his supporters are, people in administration are. I don't care if they have Jewish sounding last names. Morris, aka Cats, Lowife, Parasite, Garbage, Platner. He goes recruits a guy with a swastika from kind of from death camps to run for Senate in Maine. How much do you It's not acceptable. When do people say I had enough? You just going to go along with it? That's what I say about being real. We have a little self-respect. Come on. The guy is starting these attacks on our community. He's instigating it. He's giving fuel to the fire. He's hinting about how much he would wink and nod for terrible protests when BB Netanyahu comes for the ga the general assembly which could lead to riots in the street. He's already saying he wants it. No mayor encourages riots when a foreign leader comes to town with winks and nods and then you go meet with him so you can get money more money for the lunch program. You know you have a scum right now giving tool $200 million. You don't think you could come up with $200 million to support these mistas in America? When does a community stand up and say, "No, what? We have no respect. You're feeding into the stereotype. All we care about is money. We only care about money. So, we're going to go meet with this guy who hates our community, is instigating riots and anti-semitism in our communities, but we're going to look the other way because we need money for the the milk school lunch program." You know what? I call his bluff. Let him cut the program. Let him do it. I I dare you. I I dare you. I dare you to cut these programs. I dare you to do it. You know why? Because I think there's enough good people in this country who are going to stand up and in this city if he does that stuff and say no. I dare him. I call his bluff. And you know the problem with these people is that they I'm not I understand where they're coming from. I understand the nervousness. I understand the fear. I understand the frustration. I understand what's on the line. It's not an easy position to be in, but enough is enough. I mean, come on. He He hasn't moved an ounce on his positions. If anything, he's drilled down. That speech he gave against Netanyahu coming in there was unnecessary, unwarranted, and creepy. >> Can I tell you how it felt to me? >> It felt to me. It felt to me like we we better get out of here. >> No. It literally felt to me like the guy in Germany before World War II talking about the Jews. That's how it felt to me. >> That's what it looked like. And what you think his people didn't know that's what it looks like the qu when he >> all he got to do is trim the must >> HE SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN MENTIONED it in the campaign everybody knew he couldn't do it but he wanted to stir it and then he hinted that protests I don't know what kind of things are going to come when he comes to town but I can assure you that the people who are going to feel the pain of it are going to be synagogues kosher restaurants kosher stores and Jews in the street and you know why because the mayor winked and nodded >> and he's winking and nodding but the school lunch program which could be covered by the cost of a canc dumbing down a couple of weddings in the community could cover the cost of these things. It's wrong. Mosha Indig is wrong. He was wrong. He has gotten nothing. Maybe some money for a few pet projects. What he traded was garbage. What he got in exchange was garbage. And he needs to be called out. And the people who are running to these places should be ashamed of themselves. They shouldn't go there. They should stand up and say no. This is a community of Jewish people in New York. It's the largest community of Jews outside of Israel. And it's the largest Jewish city in North America in the world. It's a place where Jews have had a tremendous impact on this city in every which way. And you have this guy and people are are walking on the eggshells around him. He is out to get us. And you don't understand what he wants. He wants to go after the real estate we own, the homes if people own, the neighborhoods we own, our assets that are being left to families and charities with this estate tax plans. Who's he targeting when he talks about houses being brought down and shared? And he goes after multif family building owners. He's not going after everybody in business. What is he doing? His supermarket crap. And it's not only hurting Jews, but he has an eye. He has a bullet on our back because I got news for you. When you go after Jews, there's a lot of people who like it. And he knows that. And he knows that it gets his supporters all excited. Why is Israel the biggest issue in this country today? It shouldn't be. We have big problems here. Has nothing to do with Israel. Schools are not teaching kids adequately. We have AI coming. Our workforce isn't prepared. Our infrastructure is crumbling. We don't have adequate assets in in in in health care situations in a lot of cities with hospitals needing funding, public hospitals, programs. We got stuff. And we talk about Israel like it's the only issue. It's 3 4 thousand miles away. It doesn't impact the average African-American, Asian, Irish, Italian, Yemen guy, or whatever nationality you want who goes to work every day and is in a dirty subway with people peeing on the floor with, excuse my language, in the in the streets, okay? and and and filth and crime and all these things are up and we're busy talking about BB Netanyo coming to speak to the general assembly where he has absolute diplomatic immunity which is not even up for debate and then instigating riots. You know why? Because the guy is bad. He's a Marxist. He clearly is much more I was wrong. I thought that Islam was just like something he played with. No, he's he's all in. >> Okay. He is all in. >> Drinks alcohol. Do we have signs in Arabic NOW ON THE HIGHWAY ANNOUNCING PROGRAMS? HOW MANY PEOPLE IN NEW YORK READ ARABIC WITHOUT ENGLISH ON THE SIGN? >> THAT WAS MY QUESTION. WE Mush my and I were discussing it the whole way to the city. A huge billboard went up today. I think it went up today. A big huge billboard went up in Arabic sponsored by New York City >> about I don't know because I don't speak or read Arabic. >> I Googled it and I found articles that 0.4% of the people in New York >> speak or read Arabic. And I have a feeling of that 0.4% which is basically 0% um of that they also read English speak English. >> So what is he doing? What was his message? >> What do YOU MEAN WHAT IS HE DOING? >> $25,000. >> It's all a game. The the these communities have made a decision that they're going to the Israel thing sells. Jews are not very popular. >> WHY IS HE PUTTING SIGNS IN ARABIC? For who? >> Why? What do you mean for his supporters? >> There's nobody. 0.4. >> Who do you think's funding that crap? Who do you think his donors were? Where do you think his money's coming from? Linda Sarsur that that that that that another I don't know how bad the language can get but imagine words I could say and you fill in the blanks this thing Linda Sarsur said publicly that the money came from these kinds of sources his father has said that suicide bombing is a is a legitimate form of of a military >> didn't he have it in his >> he wrote A BOOK IN 2004 NO HE HIMSELF DID HE SAY IT ALSO HIS RAP SONG he was he was patronizing the Five martyrs. >> What do you mean? He was at protest support in in support of the Palestinians within a week of October 7th making speeches. He was protesting outside Chuck Schumer's house. Why didn't Chuck Schumer don't take pictures with him? Why they don't meet with him? He knows who he is. >> Oh, Chuck Schumer is bad news. He's bad news himself. >> You know the difference is between them? Everybody's this. They're all the same. They're not all the same. I'm a Republican. I've been a Republican as long as I can have a brain. I'm for 30 years. I'm a Republican. Ever since I had a brain where I could think about what is to be Republican, but I could tell you that Chuck Schumer is not Zoran Mandani. Are there things that Chuck Schumer does that maybe created and helped instigate Zoran Mandani? It's possible. This person is the worst. He and now you have this another another parasite in in Michigan. >> In Michigan, I checked I checked the polls this morning. He's with half he's within a half a point of winning. >> He is. >> He's going to win. >> He could. >> Could you call out to Michigan? You know why HE COULD WIN? BECAUSE not everybody cares. 30% of new Jews in New York allegedly voted for Mandani. So Mandani goes around, he says, "I'm more popular amongst Jews in New York than Batono." >> I mean, and and he smirks. The smirk he gives is like the devil's grin. This is a very, very bad guy. He's a very bad guy. And you don't would Jewish leaders really go publicly meet with I hate to say it, I hate using the word. Would they meet with Hitler? Would they meet with Would that you have a meeting with him because there we can listen C Kner? It's very complex a lot of that stuff. I understand. And there was Samarba was on that was on that train you know >> yard site was yesterday no or something >> sb is a very good man and he helped a lot of people after the war and the people in his community who are making these deals and having these meetings a lot of it's for self gain a lot of it's for limited mistas a lot of it's very very myopic a lot of it doesn't understand the consequence of their actions but I want to ask we're eight months into the parasite administration as I call it the parasitic administration of New York we're eight months What have we gotten for the Jews of New York in 8 months from puss being nice to him for these people? What do they have to deliver? $25 million in anti-semitic funding. That's nothing. It's like saying, "I'm going to buy fire hydrants after I burn down the building." Okay. What What have we gotten? What has the city of New York received? What have the Jewish community in this city received for the Oh, he's going to be a good mayor. I'm going to work with him. I'll take pictures. I'll go to his banquet. What did we get? Avo what is a shvish banquet? Okay. Made up a holiday. It was almost like a kutzbah avo banquet that the whole thing. And and he has like these crazy rabbi I don't know rainets. I don't know what you call these people. They're like rabbits. These ladies come up. They they say they're rabbis from like places I never heard of that I would never use the restroom. Okay. Crazy places. And he gets them to speak like they represent somebody and something. They don't represent our community. They don't represent the vast majority of Jews in New York. And he is instigated. And I'm asking, "What have you gotten for it? Where's the proof? I want to see something. I want you to show me something other than your pet project got $5 million or got $100,000 or an extra security guard outside of your office." >> Bruce. Bruce, there's no billboards in Yiddish. There's no billboards in Hebrew. There's no billboards in half the languages that more people speak. >> No. And where's the billboard on? >> It's in Queens. No. >> What's >> going into the Todd Tunnel? Going into the Midtown Tunnel. tunnel. So what is the what is what is the implications of this of this? >> Which Muslim community goes into the Midtown tunnel coming from there? I know where the Muslim communities live in New York. They live in Brooklyn. And if they live in Queens, there may be some pockets. Yeah, maybe. I don't know if they speak Arabic. >> So what's going on? >> What is going on? He's asserting his power. It's all about >> taxpayer dollars. Yeah, he's a trying to BURN THE BUILDING DOWN so he could recreate whatever he >> But I wanted to uncover the scandal. I Googled today on the way to the show on the way to the parking lot. I googled how much is a big Lamar the company's Lamar. How much is a big Lamar B billboard into New York City? New York City metropolitan area near >> um what is it called? Infrastructure high traffic like bridges, tunnels, whatever. >> They said that the cheapest Lamar billboards around 1,500 but they said near infrastructure like import and things are between 5 and 25,000 which is very broad. I don't know. It's a very wide margin. >> Probably the entrance to Queens. Is it by the entrance? >> That's a hot area. this this billboard >> I think so >> so it could be 25,000 bucks more >> how do you so how does he justify >> this is a rashim I >> has he justified that 0% of the people I could make up a number so 0% of the people need it what is the justification just to prove something >> power control everything he's done since he's gotten in power is to show that he's the boss and he wants to control the city and he wants he has an agenda and he's and he's and he's serious >> the the fact the judicial what could you explain the judicial within judiciary committee of 18 people, not one Jew, and half the lawyers in New York are Jewish. >> What do you mean explain it? I've explained it now for 10 minutes. >> No, but what I'm saying is go I want to go through I want to go through some of the items on the list piece by piece. >> He he got up in front of the cameras the next day and he was confronted by it and he said it had nothing to do with anything. He said he reappointed Jewish judges. Obviously, he's lying. >> Which Jewish judges? The people who voted for him. Who's that woman? The thing another thing the one from Williamsburg >> the one who became Abby Stein Rabbi Stein who he appointed her to some it I don't know it's an it because I think it's an it I think it's it Abby Stein got a mug a for the parents and the babas and the zas the should give them a rafu I mean you're talking sick people these are sick people this is literally a freak show I if I ran the Republican party and I was doing ads I would do a picture of a democratic meeting in New York And I called it the freak show. It's it's it's the freak show. It's literally a freak show. You walk into these events, you see them. There was an NDP convention in Canada, which is like the DSA of Canada. They had their fun, their big event. It's a freak show. One person or didn't want to be called person. them got up and said that they didn't like that an a Native American person was spoken to before an Islander person because of the status of of intersectionality and and and and oppression. I'm like the people are really this is real. This is something that you need drugs for. Like you need psychiatrists, medicine, lithium we may have to bring out. We may have to go back to shock treatment. Like we need the people need they need help. This is this is cra this is like this is you know what this is equivalent it's like a mental hospital where the doctors are the patients and the patients are running the hospital. >> It's a crazy place >> is in the history. >> And by the way James Carville is a big Democrat and he worked for Bill Clinton. Oh James >> and he's like they're crazy. Van Jones was a is is a very liberal Democrat. They're crazy and I don't want the Democratic party to be this crazy. There was a big debate in the Michigan race now. Do you want Say to win so it's easier for Rogers to win or do you want Stevens to win so Rogers will probably not win but at least you won't have say I said out loud as a Republican who's proud of it. I would rather Stevens wins because I don't want to mainstream what say is offering and I think that the you need to push back against what he's offering. It's a short-term loss for a long-term gain to push back that these things are not successful. It's not the right because if you lose enough eventually people realize let's try something else and maybe they'll become more moderate. A lot of people think I'm in denial but so long as it keeps winning people are going to keep on going that way. I heard now the governor of Maryland was talking about BB Netanyaho today like he's a war criminal. He know nothing. What does he know? He knows he's a war criminal. >> I'm not going to say what happened. I don't know all the details. >> The sitting governor >> the sitting governor who was considered a moderate Democrat but now he sees the where the wind is blowing. He wants to run for president. This is what sells. Being against Israel, being against Natanyao, being anti-Jewish, then then doing the the wink and nodding on anti-semitism, like we have to protect our synagogues, all the while I'm trying to send other people to burn it down. It's it's it's like it's like Jewish. It's like the light it's like the people used to burn down, you know, you're burning down stuff that you're sending the firefighters to burn down buildings you're burning. Like you you're making two calls at the same time. The arsonist is on one call and the >> firefighters. What do we do? What's what's the call to action? Well, the first thing is is not to do what we're doing. Not to go and to meet with them like it's normal. Not to give them respect. Not to not to take pictures in the suka. He shouldn't be in any sukas. No sukas in Williamsburg. No sukas in Crown Heights. No going to meet with him. You have to talk to people administration. Talk to Jessica Tish, the police commissioner. Talk to random people in city council. There needs to be intermediaries. You're not getting anywhere with it. And the things they're going to come to you and tell you they get, I guarantee you if the Jewish community had to like an they would put it together and we would fund those organizations if we had to. >> If we knew >> they stopped going to Bruce's hotel, they pulled that money. >> I don't want New York to become like this. But I don't know if if doing anything else is going to benefit us. And I don't think he's going to cut the programs. It's funny. They say, "You think he's got problems?" No, cut the programs. He's gonna have to lay off government workers. >> But also, there's other >> How's he cutting the programs? What's he gonna do with the government workers? Oh, he was to cut the program for Jewish kids. It's a civil rights issue. It'll go to court. He'll lose that. Like we we have a better we have a better bucket to deal with than he does. And we're just scared to use it. We're like going to his No one should go to in the city. >> To his credit, he he did say he's not going to do the Israeli parade before he before Iran, right? Or during >> Why didn't he do it? He did the Pakistan parade. >> I'm saying he >> Pakistan's a religious country with religious doctrines. Why did he go to Pakistan parade? No, >> but he's >> it's an Islamic country of that. >> He's consistently anti-Israel from Israel. >> So, because he said he hates us and he still hates us, we should give him credit for being honest. He hates us. >> He said he's real. He's real. Like he >> Oh, he's Oh, he's real. Doesn't mean I like it. >> All right. >> He's real in his if he was a rabbi. God forbid he was a rabbi. He's real. He's real. >> But I but I'm going to try and tell the story. >> I'm not mad at the guys who go. I just don't think they should go. >> Is there a bigger I wouldn't go. Is there a bigger um takeover? You have >> Mam Dani, >> you have Rashid Talib in Minnesota. >> Bigger takeover. There's a huge takeover. >> Explain me what's going on. Not just in New York City, not just in Minneapolis. What's happening? How does Michigan There's been a very very very strong Arab community in in Michigan for a million years. WHAT HAPPENED? >> IT'S NOT ABOUT ARABS. >> NO, not about Arab. NOT ABOUT >> MOST ARABS AREN'T MARXIST. >> NO. NOW THEY'RE PUTTING IN very very extreme radical um people that are part of Islam now in Michigan. It never happened before. You elected Daryla Shiovalier, a woman who says she wipes her hands on the American flag as like a thing to be proud of. You're electing. >> But what happened to Michigan now all of a sudden after a million years and now they're electing high end? >> What do you mean? They've always elected. Now they're just elected to higher offices. Rashidita Talib was in that position for a long time. She represented >> Dearborn. This would be the which senators which which senator was ever was ever um from Dearborn Michigan ever. >> You know which community is not into this by the way in Michigan? African-Americans. They don't like it. >> I think that there's going to be a big problem with the Democrats. Most African-Americans, the one if you were lower on the lower income, and not just African-Americans, other commun, Hispanics and others, and even lower, there's lower income communities, even Jewish lower income. I don't know how many, but I mean lower income people who were with the Democratic party for years. They wanted the Democratic party to give them a stepping a helping hand to move up. I don't know if the Democrats policies are going to get you there, but that was why they voted for them. They wanted to own their own homes. They wanted to go on vacations. They wanted to have better schools for their kids. They wanted to go to college. They wanted to start their own businesses. And they felt that the Democratic Party was going to be more helpful to them to accomplish those goals. Whether it's true or not, I don't think it's so true, but they thought it was going to be more helpful to them if they did that. And they voted that way. They've never signed up to this Marxism stuff. They're not interested in it. I mean, they they it's not it's not their dream. They a lot of maf a lot of lower income voters in some of those communities they they want the American dream like everybody else. They just want more access to it. They don't want they don't want Fidel Castro and Shaya revolution. So I don't know how this pans out. But I know that we have some allies on these issues. Jewish Democrats, which I'm not one, but Jewish Democrats, there are allies in the Democratic party like, "Hey, this isn't what we kind of had in mind. Like we didn't want to like get rid of the police, close the prisons." Like if you if you get rid of the police, Van Jones saying the other day, you get rid of the police, who's going to go after the pedophiles and the rapists. If you get rid of the prisons, what are you going to do with the Kuklux Clan? Like and and people white supremacists who are like, you know, burning down churches or or beating up people in the streets. Like a lot of this is just irrational. Like I said, the the the mental patients are running the hospitals and the doctors are confused, locked in a room, don't know what to do, and they don't know what to do. People are angry. They do stupid things. But but going to meet with Madani and pretending it's not an issue is an issue. >> We have to talk about our corporate sponsors. We love love love our corporate sponsors. >> Pure Aloe is one of the most special drinks in the world. And people get confused by the label. So this is the pure aloe label. This is the signature look of pure aloe. Pure aloe. >> I'll take some. >> Aloe, it's made with aloe vera. Aloe vera is one of the most healthy things that's been ever created by Hashem. It's very very natural. It's made in Asia. To have a mashk go down to Asia and look over the factories. There was never been a aloe vera drink being made with a misher. >> Mhm. >> So what they did is pure aloe decided they're going to make the best flavors of aloe vera. I think there's like nine flavors including a diet flavor. But even the flavors that are not diet, they're very low in sugar. It's very natural.

Yeah, of course. >> With a cup. >> When it's chilled, we all have a cup.

So the ch butcher stuff and the restaurants and their delhi. Now if you're going to a simka, you're going to a simka. How do you go anywhere? Wheels to lease. When you drive a car, you want it to be comfortable. You want it to be safe. You want to know that you're getting a good car or a van or a Suburban or a Jeep or a cargo van or a cherry picker. And you want to know you're getting it from somebody that knows what they're talking about and giving you a great price. It's not like a bottle of milk. You're buying a car 50, 60, 80, 100 grand. You want to know you're in the right hands. My friends at Wheels to Lease, either you call, ask for Saul Hershop or Izzy Herman, they know what they're doing. When you're doing something for 40 years, you know what you're doing. And like I always say, nobody even knows how much money they're paying. Why? You know a ballpark that this car leases for like 500, this car leases for 800. you know, in a ballpark around >> every time people call them and they start talking about the money part, whatever they quote, you always see is like the cheapest and the greatest. >> So, it's like the conversation changes like paperwork, insurance, how quickly could you deliver, get me a credit approval, which they're great at. So, whenever I speak to people that get their vehicles from wheels to lease, they never know the price because they say right away we knew that the best price and the credit approvals in seconds. You need a minivan, school starting now in the next few weeks. You need to get that minivan to get this.

Why do they have a bad rap? >> The minivan fantastic. >> The carnival is good. >> Why? Why is it better though? >> It drives more like a car. >> It I don't like trucks, so I find it drives more like a car. I also find the finishes are more luxurious. Um, I didn't like my last Odyssey, but I could have had a lemon. >> No, because you didn't get it at Wheels to East probably. >> I would never I would I mean I would only get I'm I like I think Kia are great cars. >> Wheels to East.

You know, my grandmother my grandmother All of a Shalom when she she would go to the wedding, depending on what they served and where she sat, there was two checks. >> If you sat her at like the table by the kitchen and she got served last cold and or if food was just bad, I was like, you there's two checks and I'll decide at the end of the night which check you're getting.

Some of them were so cheap with such high rates. I feel like I was getting a a Kaneka gift for Does it tell you how reliable they are at delivering on time? >> Thousand%. They're giving a sign just the best link in the world. >> No, cuz with Amazon, not all of the sellers are reliable at delivering on time. >> So if it's on Prime, that's >> I'm giving you an idea. Like within these things, you know, I order stuff on Amazon that gets delayed for weeks and it comes early. Like you never know. I wish someone could include that info cuz when you look at the best case, you're going to get it when you want. If it's by Amazon, you're just using the link. If it's filled by Amazon, it's coming for their ware. If it's filled by the seller, >> it's always the next day. >> FBS, I think >> filled by Amazon. >> By a seller, then you know they could ship whenever they want. Yeah. But it's not reliable. Not like Amazon. >> Yeah. But if I don't support the the sellers, then I'm hurting all the Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn who are running warehouses selling in the world. >> Bruce, we aired an episode on Thursday. Yeah. >> About Yeah. >> We had on the owner of Zissy Wigs husband, Mendy Riner, the founder of Renewal. Uh-huh. >> We put out three clips so far on Instagram.

Pop-ups. >> They're going to be in Monroe on Wednesday this week. Someone told me that wigs for people who have a wig, they don't have to make their hair every day. What does that does that make sense? If you if you >> you're in a world discussing something I can honestly confidently tell you I know nothing about. No, >> I heard there's a big Canadian >> My wife has wigs because we're Orthodox Jews and we have wigs, but like I don't get I don't get involved. I just know what they I'm like is the bill. >> You write the check and if you go to Zissi Wigs, you'll save money. >> I'm like what does this cost and why? And then, you know, but wigs is the biggest problem with wigs also is the is when they're the seller has to be honest. My wife always tells me that the biggest issue she has with wig people is that, you know, you go in there, it always says you have to go with a friend because you never know if it really looks good or you really like it or you don't because the salesperson wants to sell it and you can go home with something, you know, that looks like, you know, from like Cookie Monster. So, you know, you you have to be cautious. So, is the customer how's the customer service at Dy Wigs? >> 20 years already. Top rated. Top rated. >> I have no doubt. One more thing. >> I like the prices. I'm already going to look. >> The prices are already the craziest in the world. But here's the next part. >> Flincher. >> If you mention Clappy Frank until the 18th of El, >> you get $100 off. >> Nice. >> Another $100. Russo what's ha has America or Jewish people the last time they experienced something like this with the current mayor and what is the appropriate steps that anyone could do >> depends where yesterday I took an Uber in Florida and I was going from the >> ah it's much cheaper in Florida >> yeah and the drivers are English speaking >> and good air conditioned cars I had good experience with Uber in Florida >> I have good air conditioned cars here I I I don't take Uber a lot but when I do I I don't honestly complain I just the cars were cleaner I'll say at the car was cleaner, but the air conditioner is always on. These guys are sitting in when it's hot, it's hot. Maybe the ones I've been in, >> but uh call >> action >> taxis is where you used to have a problem. They don't want to run it because of they don't want to run the air conditioning because of the gas. Like it's fine. It's 110 degrees. The guy's fainting. It's it's good. It's good. And he's like this driving overhead over. I had a driver and we were talking about like you've been up to New York. My son was we had a conversation for like 45 minutes. He sells medical supplies and on the weekends in the summer when it's slow because a lot of the people aren't in Florida. Um he has a good business. He pick me up in a BMW. Um but he says I make extra money when I have time. I drive Uber cuz there's not all the zoning regulations of this crazy city of New York. Like it's pretty easy to become an Uber driver in Florida, which goes to show you like how crazy we are. We make everything's just so difficult for >> regulations on top of regulations on top like pard bureau stuff. But he was telling me he was saying to me he saw I was Jewish. But he was saying he's like he's really uncomfortable with all the anti-semitism. And I'm like he says I grew up in Ohio. I grew up in Beachwood and I went to public school and there was other kids in the public school who were Jewish kids and we were friends. We played sports together. He was a big athlete. Like he loved he were talking the whole car ride about like baseball like why the Mets spend so much money and they're so terrible which I'm still struggling to figure out because I'm a Mets fan. and and he's we're talking about baseball and he was telling me like it really bothers him. I think there's a lot of people who are bothered by it who are not Jewish and I think that a lot of those people need to be empowered and I think that's why I'm saying like calling Mumani's bluff isn't such a big risk. I think I think in fact there's a lot of people who are going to would come to our defense we don't know about. There's a lot of people who don't like this. Van Jones on CNN doesn't like this. And I think we have to empower our friends and not with like money and and buying them all. Not like that. Just there's a lot of good people who just don't like things. You know, I was listening to a documentary about the king of Denmark. I think it was during the Holocaust when they I think the Nazis took over. All the details I'm not going to cuz I don't want to misspeak. But I know that he said that if they make the Jews wear yellow stars, then everybody will wear yellow star, myself included. And there's a lot of people out there like that. America is fundamentally a really good country with really good people and a very special history that is that is encircled and encloded in a desire for liberty and freedom and and goodness. America, you know, Alexis Detoqueville, the great French thinker when he traveled around America in the 19th century said America is great because America is good. And I think that America is good doesn't mean that everybody in America is good. But I think a lot of people in America are good. And I think like almost like Aliidis according to likeidic philosophy you have to instead of focusing so much on the negativity I think you have to rise up the good because I think there's a lot of good out there and I'm not a person I know what the polls say and I know that everybody says Israel is unpopular and Jews are becoming all this unpopular but I think there's a lot of people who are genuinely uncomfortable with the status of what's going on right now um in in New York I think in other parts of the country and I think a lot of them are scared to speak out and this gentleman in the car was very passionate And I wasn't saying it to get a tip. He got a tip, but I was saying he wasn't saying it to get him 10 bucks or eight bucks. He was saying like it makes him uncomfortable because he grew up in Ohio and this just doesn't work with him and he's wondering why it's happening. >> Bruce, in the back of the Ammy magazine, there's an article. Every week there's an article by a guy Misha Ta. Not to mix it up. >> Not to mix it up with Chase. I haven't read it. Not to mix it up with Chase. >> Who do you get the army magazine Bruce or No. >> What? >> You get these magazines? >> I mean, no. In the summer he >> I have an issue. >> In the summer he talks about American history. >> What I like reading Ammy magazine. I don't subscribe. >> In the summer he read he he talks about >> I don't like their policy on women that they don't put pictures of women in. >> We'll get to that in a minute. >> In the summer they have an article ta puts a um about Jewish American history. >> Yeah. >> And this week was the second week he talks about Solomon. >> Oh sure. >> Now again I'm sure everybody knows Solomon was somebody that lived in America before the revolution. He funded the American army and the American government being founded. He was arrested and sentenced to to be executed and he escaped. He went from New York to Philadelphia. He's like one of the forefathers of the American government, a Jewish guy. And >> he spelled H A YM. >> What I'm saying is is that I read about >> if you Google it and you're trying to find out who he is, >> you basically when you talk about the founding of America, the greatest country in the in the world, you find out that the Jewish people had such a big say in the matter and funded it. They made it happen. Why am I saying it? Because this wicked mayor talks so much about Jews and Israel. It's like, "Buddy, you came here from Uganda a few years ago." >> And why did he leave Uganda? So good. I want to just say I have such Jewish pride. I don't need it because of America, but I'm saying we founded this country. We funded the revolution. We paid the price for it. We We were in every level in every This Yuk rolled in yesterday from Uganda. They should revoke his citizenship and throw him out. Listen, I rolled in I I rolled in from Canada, okay? I rolled in from can I was not born here. >> One of the happiest days of my life other than the birth of my children and the marriage to my wife was the day that I got my American citizenship. I was so the what I had to go through the years, the lawyers, the schleing, the wait for the day when I got to go and put up the oath, get the little flag kind of thing was it wasn't a thing. It was a big deal. You know, I was in a shul years ago on the Lower East Side. Um, and there was an old man in the Shaw who in his 90s and he sponsored a kdish. It was called the Stanton Street Synagogue and I helped that synagogue when I was working for the governor. We got them a matching ground for renovations. Buildings falling apart. I don't know what's with it today. >> Eldrich Street show also got it got >> a lot of money. >> Yeah. >> No, they wanted to be was it was the only show built in a tenement house. It was the oldest synagogue built in a tenment building. It had historical significance. Synagogue had like it was falling apart. They needed money and they the people who lived there were lower income. There was no money. All the old people moved out. And there was a guy who sponsored the kdish and he said it was his 70th birthday. The guy ain't no 70. And I said, "What mean your 70th birthday?" And they said, "No, he's 91." >> Like 70th birthday? >> He says, "Yeah, he has two birthdays." He said he made a speech. I have a birthday when I was born and I was a birthday when I came to America. Those are my two birthdays and I celebrate both. He says, "I left Eastern Europe. I think it was after the war. And when he arrived in America, he made it a birthday. It's a celebration. And every year he sponsors the day he came to America. I have tremendous love for this country. >> What day did you become American? Bruce >> became an American. The date I think it was it was in January. I mean now you're now you're holding me. I never made it a special day with me. It was a special moment. I think it was like January 16th uh 2015. But um >> imagine it would be January 6th. That would be funny. >> No, no, it was January 16th, 2015. But the the the the the the point of it was um and then you get the papers in the mail, you go for your passport, it's like a whole thing. But I have such a pride and such a love of America and its goodness and its kindness and all the craziness stuff that goes along with being an American. There is not a greater place in the world than to live here. Obviously, living in Israel is special and it's holy and it has meaning, but to be an American is such a pride. when I land in United States and I go back and I take my passport and I put it through there and and you say welcome back um to the United States um you know welcome home and you see a friendly guy who smiles you and we just went to Montreal not long ago I think Memorial Day you go to Canada they look at you how are you coming uh to see my parents uh 24 hours did you bring anything uh we brought my kids um we brought some uh snacks any perishables no Okay, you can go. And she's looking at you like you robbed the bank. And then you come back the next day. Literally the next day I go back to my airport. >> Hey, what's up? How are you? Welcome home. I'm like, yeah, thank you very much. >> We are such a wonderful country full of wonderful people. And there are a bunch of people who are frustrated, unhappy with their own agendas. And they're having too much say and too much power. And they're convincing people that this country is worse than it is. It is not worse. It is the greatest place to live. And anybody who wakes up in the morning here is blessed. >> I'm not going to say life is easy for everybody all the time. >> But you are so lucky to live here and to call yourself an American. It is is a privilege. It is the most you know they America gets attacked all the time for slavery because slavery was bad. It's not a question. Slavery is a terrible terrible thing that was wrought on this country. And if you go back and you study slavery in the 1780s and why slavery was in the why they three-fifths of the man and all the different clauses which are much debated today, America was also the first country to get rid of slavery and go to war over it because it was that bad and people were passionate enough about that. It's wrong. If you study the Civil War history and the speakers during those year and those eras and I mean I'm names are eluding me now, but there were a series of people you know the um Daniel Webster and others who were vehemently opposed to slavery. I mean some of them were negotiating trying to keep the country moving. Um but you know the speeches that Abraham Lincoln gave whether it's the Gettysburg address or the Emancipation Proclamation a lot of them are timeless and and it speaks to this goodness in America. America's good because America's great because America's good. It's a good country with good people who want to do good things. In America, when you start a business and you make money, people are happy for you and you make start, you're successful, it's like two thumbs up. >> The the jealousy exists here, but not like it does in other places. Like the fact that you have a show now that's successful and you're it's I hope it's producing revenue and it's allowing you to live a better life and help people. I'm happy for you. Like, that's great. Like, I encourage more people to pursue their dreams, to do things they want, to live great lives, and and and to make this country better, and to be proud of it. And there's some people who are building into the politics of grievance. It's it's a there's a it's grievance, it's jealousy, it's envy, it's anger, it's frustration. I'm not going to say that people are having to because you have to understand the the poorest voters, the lowest income voters in Michigan and in New York ain't voting for Mamani and they ain't voting for Elsa and they're not by his events. I mean, you know, when you go to a Mandani victory party, it might as well be in Norway >> because that's what the crowd looks like. >> Okay, it's it's talk about white, black, Asian, African-American, Hispanic. It's all white people from wealthy backgrounds who studied crap in college and they're pissed off that the guy who went to trade school makes more money and can afford a home and they can't. It's all based on grievance and envy. Look at these people. Elsad wants Medicare for all. Okay, look at this guy. His wife is a psychiat. >> I don't care what he is. He never went he never passed he's not a full-fledged doctor. He went to medical school. But his wife is a doctor and she practices. He wants Medicare for all. This is a fact. What I'm saying now, his wife doesn't take Medicaid, doesn't take Medicare, doesn't take all insuranceances. What a load of crap. You care about the low. What about the poorer family in Detroit in the inner city? They can't go to you because your mom doesn't your wife doesn't take insurance cuz the payouts aren't good enough. Take the payouts. It's for the good of the cause. Long live the revolution. The whole thing is crap. This AOC goes to the Met Gala. She wears a dress that costs more than some people earn in a year. >> Yeah. Tax, but by fancy designers. >> $25,000 to get in. >> Yeah. $25,000 to get in. And the dress is worth who knows how much. It's not regular people. It's not She didn't pick it up at Marshalls. Okay. It's not Walmart gown. You know, they're not in touch. There's there's there's a disconnect. So lower income voters aren't buying it because they've seen this movie before. Malcolm X used to say, "The scariest thing in the world is a white liberal." Says when they come, then you run. They're not they they're up to no good because they claim they're out to help you, but it's all about them. It's not about you. They don't really care about you. You're just a means to an end for them. They don't really care about making your lives better. They don't care about fixing your ability to earn more money. That's always been my frustration with a lot of elements Democratic party. I don't think people are underwhelmed bad meaning. I think there are well-meaning people there. But this crowd, they're not interested in what they say. Bernie Sanders owns three homes. Is he paying a poor Is he paying a pier tax? Why doesn't he pay money for owning three houses? He doesn't. Why does Hassan another low-life parasite, live in a $2.7 million house in West Hollywood and drives a Porsche? That's not that's, you know, you could say what you want. The early Zionists, whatever you want to say about them, they were socialists, but they lived the life. >> They was on a kibbutz. >> David Mcgory when he died, he owned nothing. Golden Mayor lived in a small apartment. They they they cooked their own meals. They carried their own bags. They lived it. You don't have to like them. I'm not a fan of the crazy Zionist socialism of its day, but at least it was real. At least it was legit. Mandani went to an elementary school that today is $70,000 a kid. Bank Street, the most prestigious elementary school in New York City. He was a student there. $70,000 a kid. Okay, that's not regular people. He was privileged. He had a silver spoon. He didn't have to get a real job for years. is he probably lived in his parents fancy apartment on the upper west side and he went to fancy schools in Bowden and his parents are pay which is one of the most expensive liberal arts schools in in New England and he wasn't on no scholarship because he had bad grades. Okay, he didn't have such good grades but he had connections and a mother and a filmmaker and a father of Colombia. Imagine his father's Colombia couldn't get him into Colombia. That's how good his grades were. >> Okay, and um >> he's charming. >> He's charming. He he's you know what he he's he's he's he's as relatively speaking he's not charming to me. I don't find him charming. I mean I don't like him. I mean if if you're not aware I don't see anything redeeming in him at all. >> This Minnesota election the other >> Michigan I'm what I say. >> But the lower income voters who really need the help are not voting for this. It's all they invested people in the suburbs who were like >> studied you know crazy stuff. $30 million and the other guy raised how much? >> He raised a lot too. It just was different. I don't know the number specifically. I don't want to miss. >> So where did the 30 million go? And what's effective marketing dollars today? >> What do you mean? They said that he was going to win by 15. He only won by one or less than one. >> Less than one% >> less the blessable one. And you know what goes to show you? There's a lot of people who don't really like it. And a lot of them are in social circles now where they can't say it out loud. I think there's there may be a revolution of goodness in this country one day. I'm definitely scared short term, but long term I think that there I think that the cream always rises to the top. I think we're in a in a rough spot, but I do have this belief that the good people are going to rise up and say they don't want it. >> Bruce, let's discuss whatever you come on. There's a lot of comments on your view on world politics. I want to go a little bit out of America because we have viewers around the world. What's going on in Iran? >> Oh my god. I told you it was a bad idea. Last time I was here, I was on the record. This is not a good idea. >> What's going on? They're playing chicken. We're on. We're off. We're on. We're off. can't we win that war if you don't change the regime. You can't change the regime if you don't put troops on the ground. Nobody in America wants to put troops on the ground. The Iranians know that Americans are not going to put troops on the ground. There's an election coming. That's the game. So the Iranians, all they have to do is sit tight and wait. If Trump wanted to change the dynamic, he'd put troops on the ground. But for how long and how many casualties can you have? you, the Iranians, you know, the jihad mentality in these places is suicide bombers and and suicide initiatives killing. They know that pictures of Americans in body bags, god forbid coming back to Andrews Air Force Base is not something that Republicans or Trump can handle in a minute because we are in a democracy and in a democracy, nobody wants to see those pictures. Nobody wants their kids to die. Every death is a tragedy in this country. >> We we don't we don't have the same ethos as the Iranians on these in these issues. We didn't kill 35,000 of our own people because there was a >> Iran's a lost cause. Done. >> It's not a lost cause. It's not the the game has to be changed. >> I don't know how. I don't have the answer, but it's not a good situation. >> Russia, Ukraine. >> Oh, that's a whole different >> four and a half years, almost 5 years. >> I got to say something. The Ukrainian, the numbers are crazy. >> The Ukrainians have shocked me. >> They're saying over a million people were killed already >> and nobody seems to care. >> Is there endless amounts of people ready to die or being sent? >> Well, because the Jewish people are not so involved. So nobody really cares anymore. I mean, you know, >> over a million deaths. >> We worried about the fifth the 50 school children of the Iranians, which is they're all tragedies. We don't want anybody to die. Let's be very clear. I want to live in a world where there's world peace. I'm just not naive to think that it's possible without unfortunately conflicts. Sometimes conflicts are going to happen. Conflicts happen in the mo in marriages. They happen in loving relationship. >> Will the Russia Ukraine war come to an end? Ever five years? >> Eventually some could be. >> How many more people have to die? >> As many as necessary. When will it end? Putin leaves power would be one. >> He'll never leave power. Why would he leave? >> I mean, he's not going to live forever. >> That could be 20 more years. I don't know. What is he in the 70s? >> Why not? You don't know. >> Putin Putin is Putin is digging in deep and he has supporters in America. There's crazy people who support him. >> Mitch McConnell, where is he? He's a he's he's alive and well. He's he's a puppet. >> Mitch McConnell, >> he wasn't he's in a wheel. >> Mitch McConnell gets a bad rep. Mitch McConnell was a great senator. He was a great friend of the Jewish people. What's going on with him right now? >> Great friend of what? >> He's he's he's acting. >> He's not so well, but he's in the hospital. Shouldn't people saying he should have resigned? He's not well. What? >> Why should he resign? He's not the first politician to be well. He didn't have to resign. >> He's not doing anything. He's >> doing anything. It's summer recess. What is he supposed to do? >> So, he could keep his seat. No. >> He's not even a majority leader. If he was majority leader, he should keep his seat. He He earned the seat. He won an election. So long as he's alive, I don't really know what the capacity they have to get him out of. >> Bruce Blakeman has any chance of winning Governor of New York? >> I pray every day. >> I mean, you're Bruce to Bruce, but you know him. >> I've met him. He's a nice man. Um, was he did he come on here? He wanted to come on. We didn't have time. >> We didn't have scheduling. He didn't have time. Um, is he can he win? He could if he runs the right kind of race. >> What's the right kind of race mean? >> I don't think he's running a bad race. I just think that listen, the election for governor is not going to really get hot until after Labor Day. So, in August, all you really want to do is fund raise. >> Get a lot of money so you have reserves. Like, it's almost like it's like hibernating, storing for the winter. Obviously, you want to be doing campaigning, but no one's paying attention. It's the summer. People are traveling. people, kids are out of school, you know, the World Cup was go. There's a lot going on after Labor Day. Kids go back to school. People start focusing on what's going to be in the coming year. And then and he has to be in a position to put himself to win. >> Gaza Peace Committee. Is there ever going to be peace with Gaza? >> I told you this before. I wish and pray. >> Is this committee doing anything? >> I mean, everything's status quo. I mean, there >> weapons, who's overseeing weapons, who's not? The whole thing's a joke. >> It's not a joke. >> They're going to have to go back in. >> Yeah. There's no way the Israelis are never going to have to go back into Gaza under some circumstances. I mean, unless if something miraculous were to happen over there, I dream of that day. It's something I'd really want to see. I really have this dream that there would really be peace. I really want it. Like, I'm not a guy who like I'm I'm I lean I'm I wouldn't say I'm not on the left, but like I'm not against the concept. I just don't think it's practical or realistic. Like, but if if it was possible and it was and I could prove it was possible, I wouldn't be opposed to it on any ground. >> Did Lebanon get rid of all the terrorists in the country? I think there's a desire to want to, but it's difficult. >> A desire to want to. It sounds like a desire to want to do it. >> Want to want desire? What do you mean? There's a desire to want to. You have a complex country with three big religions. You have Jews, you have Muslims, and you have Christians. It's a very complex relationship outside of Israel. And then you have the the Shiites from the Hezbollah in the in the southern part of Lebanon on the Israeli border. Um, I think if you got the Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I think that would fix a lot of problems in the region. I think that's the I think that's the that's the lowest I think that's the lowest hanging fruit. It's >> been going on since 79. >> It has, but you but now you have the Lebanese government acknowledging in public ceremonies that they want Hezbollah out, which is which is kind of new. >> But then they won't try. >> Then the question is how powerful then that go to that thing they have want to have a desire. They want it and they can they do it. Do they really want to do it? But the fact that there this is being said out loud and there's communication between the two governments is definitely a step in the right direction. You know, before ' 67, Lebanon was an ally of Israel because it was Christian country. You know, the Lebanese border and the Israeli border and I knew people who were on that border when they were in the army. I had a Hebrew teacher actually and she said that she was stationed on that border and they would just talk to the Lebanese people on the border um they would talk to the people on the border um you know every day kind of like oh go to work. Hey, what's up? What's going on over in Beirut today? Oh, it's fine. And then 67 came and everything changed. >> Theo going to get back into power again with the new elections coming up? >> I mean, he's the best politician in the country. He's running a very effective campaign. People are frustrated, but if they feel that they're scared, um, they're going to go to him because he's the one that they feel is more able to deal with the the threat. If they can be lulled into a sense that there wasn't so much of a threat, maybe not. >> I I think I think most people like Natao, especially in in the B circle >> 50% hiking, 50% don't. I went to an army base with my kids to do a party for my daughter's basitzvah. We went and made a barbecue. We were I I never thought I would do it. I made a barbecue. We made a barbecue at a base near um on the border of the West Bank up a hill from Kirat Safer. There was about 50 soldiers there and we were talking and you know my my uh my aunt came. She was in Israel. my family was there and um it was my aunt and my aunt in Montreal was visiting and it was my parents not my parents my parents weren't there and us and the kids and some other local families who we invited because we wanted it to be more ledic and we're talking to them and you know these are people who are serving proudly split some haters >> amongst the soldiers 50/50 >> 50/50 >> who would they want instead >> well they were milim they were they were reserveists so it was 50/50 >> what are the options who's instead of him >> they don't they think he's corrupt they think his admin Min I think Haviv retigur talks about this well they feel that there's corruption administration then there's a question is is there an alternative and you have an alternative and you have corruption and is the alternative you know is the is you know I always say it's the devil you knows better than the devil you don't and I think a lot of Israelis operate under that assessment which is why BB keeps winning in democratic elections and taking power but there are people who kind of would like to see a change and don't think change is bad and would like to see BB retired even if it's only temporarily because they they're very there's a lot frustration in Israel over October 7th, why it happened in the first place and he isn't really a lot of commission. I don't get into the politics there because I don't understand all the players, but I mean there are legitimate questions Israelis should be asking about like what's going on. You know, I was there that day, the day before October 7th. I took my rental car without bulletproof windows and we drove to because my wife wanted to go with the kids. They'd never been to the tomb of the patriarchs. So, we drive out in the morning. I go to the hotel security guy have a guy in the front. His name I think his name is Haviv or Aviv actually and he's holding his gun at the entrance of the hotel. Like only place in the world you don't get nervous when you see a guy outside of hotel with with an M16. And he's standing at the door and I'm like you know my wife wants to go to Mara today. Can I drive? Is it safe? Tells me quote oh for sure you can drive because today in the holidays the government takes extra protection so people can visit religious sites to go into these areas. the day before October 7th. >> October 6th. >> Oh my god. >> So he tells me this. So we drive there, we go out there, we get to a stoplight where you turning up to bad to then go down to if you know these places and there was uh fruit stands on the street selling products, Arab fruit stand because Arab neighborhood and there was a guy in another car and he looks over into my window and he sees my eyes and I was just looking and he looked at me and I got a look. I mean he could have pierced me with like daggers and I walked up like I said kids don't look and they're like why? said just just don't look at this guy. And we go up, we go into Bang, go to Kevan, take some pictures, you know, Davin, um my kids got some snacks. They have like a store there. And then we drove back. And on the way back, I think we stopped. And I always like to stop at the Has Prammanad in Tala in um Arnona to take the overlook as the sun was it was getting dark, but it wasn't Yamaf yet for about my business. And then obviously the next morning I woke up and it was my wife says I think I heard an explosion. Like what are you talking about? And then the the hysteria of October 7th. I mean >> how long did it take you to get out of the country? >> I had a flight the next day to Paris after the holiday was over. >> And you got out? >> I got out on Lalal and I was very emotional. The it was a very emotional 24 hours. You know that day in the hotel um the staff at the Orient Hotel in Jerusalem is you know we we stayed there when we go. It's getting very expensive. So, I don't know if we're going to stay there anymore, but was cheaper then. And uh the I went down to start collecting my bags. All the workers in the hotel left. They had to go serve. I said, "Who's left?" I said, "Who's serving dinner?" They told us we couldn't go out. I went into like store rooms in the basement to ruffle to find my bags because they didn't have anyone to bring it up to my room. Normally, we unpack and then they come and they pick up my luggage and they store all our luggage cuz rooms are small and there's no room for the luggage. Just sit there. Like, he wouldn't be able to walk. And I sent him my bags. They're like, "We can't bring it up." Like, "Well, we don't have any workers." And the only guy left, there was a few Arab workers who worked in the restaurant and there was a couple of female Jewish employees who worked at the front desk and they had one guy still doing security and that was it. And they went down to like 80% in labor. I remember it like yesterday. And then we packed the bags and the next day I walked I returned my rental car and I walked in the streets of Jerusalem and you could have heard a pin drop. People were nowhere to be found. Everybody was in their homes. I went to the gas station and it was just like it was like eerie creepy. Um and then we we I dropped the car which I had to drop the car and then I took a cab to the airport like I always do. Um and we left the country. The the airport was bedum. Um but we had we had seats. I had Thank God my wife wanted lal and she says I only like lal and you know I'm comfortable on lal. You should get them to advertise on your show. >> They by the way they advertise. >> They do. >> I see it on magazine. I had a page this week, but I I don't want to I don't want an advertisement from them. We have bar enough. Do >> you want to take it in Israel and put you up for two weeks? >> No, I we've been asking already for a while when I we're just I just got back from Israel. I just got back from Israel two months ago and on their flights they have a lot of podcasts, but they don't have my podcast yet. >> I don't know what they're waiting for. >> You should you should >> Are you surprised a year later we're still here? >> I made a I made a one-year commitment so I would have done it even if I would have had to take a mortgage out on my house. I would have done it no matter what. But the fact that it's profitable and barak is getting busier and getting more views and likes every week. That bar >> you have very you have very good easy to listen to content. It's like easy listening and a lot of people want easy listening. They're not looking to be moved to tears every time they, you know, plug in their Spotify or listen put on YouTube when they're driving. A lot of people just want to hear things that are just >> not everybody wants to read bad news, as I like to say. What's the expression? Someone's It used to be AM and FM on the radio. You're FM, >> right? So people AM is all the bad news. FM. >> There's not a lot of Jewish FM. >> No, not much. >> No, I mean I'm a little bit more of an AM kind of guest maybe, but not really cuz I'm like I'm like heavy metal >> studios down our back. We're coming to a close. >> Um, >> who else do we have to promote today? >> Five more minutes. >> 59. >> Let me ask you, who do you think we should have on in the next year going into our next year, our next 50 episodes? Who should we have on? I would like you to have on guests who deal in the Jewish community who aren't Jewish. I think you should expand a little bit. >> We had a few not Jewish people, but not enough, you think? >> Yeah. I mean, but like people who interact, not just in the vendor perspective. I think there's a lot of interesting guests you can have on. I think politicians are good guests. I just think the problem most politicians is it's hard for to get them to be natural. >> We had a politician that had a tough election and he won. >> He did. Well, your podcast was very helpful to him. >> Cunningham. >> Yeah. And he should have won. He's a friend when we also have to Jewish community has to support our friends. You know when we have allies who are genuinely allies of the community it's important that we support them because then you know is a real thing. I'm very into like you know you do someone does you a favor you have to remember it. It's in Gmorra my friend Isaac Greenwell the caterer always tells me there's a line that you have to remind people you did them a favor for no other reason they may forget. >> Um but you know yeah you you should have on people talking about issues like that. I think vendors. >> So more politics. >> What? >> More politicians? >> No, not more politics. I don't think everybody wants politics. I think Shaitels are interesting. I think there's a lot of newsworthy stories. >> Why do you think you get the most views on our podcast? What do you What are you Why do you resonate so well with my guest? I'm guessing >> you think the story Well, he came twice. The first time, >> the second time was crazy. >> Yeah, because you did the Pesak thing. >> No, give yourself some credit. >> No, but I mean the topic's good, too. I mean, if you brought me on to talk about like um Shabas locks on your door, I don't know if people were going to tune in. I mean, some people would and the ones who would not >> the 50 episodes we aired. Yeah. >> One or two we never aired. But the 50 episodes that we aired, who was your favorite episode besides yourself >> besides me? >> Who was your favorite guest? Don't think about it. I wanted to come natural. >> No, cuz there's different things I liked. >> Top. >> I thought that he was very good. >> JJ, if you had JJ on, a lot of people going to tune in. Okay, that would be something. Uh, but no, she I like that he got tough on the on the breath work stuff. I love the people who are doing it. A lot of them are friends of mine, but I think it's important to call this out. I think we're always I think it's important to have people who are comfortable to make statements which are can be controversial. >> Happy birthday, Ley. Chia son Ley from Ellenville. He had his birthday. Mashabas 48th birthday. Maz. >> Who else do I who else do I like on? It's funny. I like travel stuff. So, I like when you have travel and food stuff because that's my industry. You know, you know, I liked when you had the K Travel. I thought he was good. >> What's his name? Sky 2000. >> Sky 2000. What's his name? >> Kitzky. Chris Kitzky. >> Bruce, what do you think about the clappy Frank dynamic? Could you give us an observation, please? >> I mean, it's like a lot of good shows in the past. It's kind of like an Ed McMahon and a Johnny Carson thing, but I think you're doing a little bit more than laughing. I mean, Clappy has the person >> I think I mean, I don't want to say that I'm going to get in trouble. No, >> I'm saying there's there's a balance. You know, you ever used to watch in the 80s >> could you can you >> I don't think No, it's not cuz there's no real You're not those. Let's say Regis Reges Filman and Kathy Lee would be a better one. You ever remember that in the 80s and 90s? He's definitely Regis because he's always going on screeds about every morning about something. But Kathy Lee sometimes makes better points and asks better questions on certain issues because she's more astute with certain things, but she's not the one who's going to make the impassion monologue. So that's the balance and I think there's a balance with someone who asks tough questions or let's say little out of the box questions or thoughtprovoking and there's someone who makes very strong statements on certain things. I think it's a healthy balance when you're doing a show. You know there there's a there's a there's you ever see in a movie there's always a love story. >> There's always a love story in a movie. Every movie has to have a love interest. Why? Because you have to cater to a wide variety of audiences. Some people want like even at the end of 60 minutes after >> Andy Rooney >> you still had to have Andy Rooney on at the end. Why? Because there's there's there's a value you're reaching. >> Andy Rooney was a kmagin who used to come on at the end of 60 minutes and he would have channeck about random things. But there were people who waited the whole show to hear from Andy Rooney. >> I remember Andy Rooney's line about cars. He says, "Why is it that when you buy a car, it's $40,000 and then if you want to buy all the parts in the car individually, your car would cost you 650,000." He was making a point. He was always pointing out things that people overlook that are frustrating and they couldn't figure out. You think >> my fridge to fix my fridge broke >> to fix my fridge which was a built-in fridge which when I bought it was very expensive >> is there's no way that that part should be >> subzero. >> No, I have a gen air and it's broken again. Always having problems. >> Do you think we're going to stay how long this marriage is going to last? Any predictions? >> Like most things so long as there's money. >> So this money the marriage will last. >> I mean isn't that always how it works? >> I'm joking. I'm saying so long as it's it's so long as it grows and it's possible. I I remember a certain I had a certain like oh you guys breaking up it was a certain like like I don't know a lot of we have an unusual amount of haters I don't know >> most people don't hate they're jealous and then it manifests in hate >> you're saying it's just jealousy >> a lot of it is it's hard to not be jealous of people you have to really work on yourself not to be jealous of other people like it's an avoidant and it's not an avoid we talk about enough we talk about all these other avoidas the real avoida one of the biggest avoid as a Jew can have not just a Jew anybody but I'm saying it like a person who's orthodox or Jew wants to keep is not to be envious it is very very difficult and it's not just in money it's in covet it's in success it's in children it's in children what they turn out later in life it's in shambias it's in where you live it's what you do it's who your parents are it's in everything jealousy is a very dangerous thing and we don't talk about it enough because in a lot of the world jealousy fuels people to success but it's a fine line and it can lead to real sin can lead to real hatred >> how do you >> and real ne negativity >> because you have one of the most successful pes hotels in the world >> I was voted number one again Jewish link second year in a row they called me up that I'm going to a gallon now it's not a bagel shop but there's some breakfast restaurant but I'm going to think on the 21st >> a gallon of a bagel >> so how did people by the way it's better food than half the places they're putting out by these >> how do you how do you deal with sesame chicken that's sitting on for 3 hours yeah >> how do you deal jealous people in your industry and how does it express itself? >> Sometimes I'm jealous of people but I have to you have to work on yourself. >> It's a real real real thing. >> Bruce, how do people express their jealousy towards you? How does it come out and appear? >> Oh, the best part of jealousy is you never know. >> They don't say it. >> No, they do things they're jealous. I I I remember once I was in the Israel when I was with my parents on vacation 20 something years ago and there was a lady we had a gift shop at the inbball where we were staying and then one day we took a walk to the Jerusalem plaza cuz I had friends staying there and went to gift shop there and she was slow and the binball shop was busy and the same size little store with Israeli chachkas and t-shirts andas lots of I don't know what you do with them but there's everywhere and um she says how's she doing there. I said, "What do you mean? How's the store there? Why are you buying here?" Says, "I heard she's busy." I said, "Yeah, why is she busy and I'm not? It's not right. She's a terrible person." Blah, blah, blah. She shouldn't be so busy. I shouldn't have opened in this hotel. It doesn't have good guests. All the money people are in the other hotel and they're the ones who spend and I shouldn't be here. And I'm like, I just asked the price on the Hamsa. Like, what? What? >> Bruce, how do you deal jealous people when people give when other hotelers? >> I'm not immune from it. But I'm not going to say I'm >> How do you deal with it when you get jealous comments, Bruce? How do you deal with jealous comments from other operator hotel p? Like, oh, why can't I be as good? >> I'm trying to be careful not to make myself sound like I'm doing things better than others. I will always preface when you call me. I will never say I have the best pes hotel. I may say the best. >> You say the best food, Bruce, >> cuz I really I it's when I say I have the best food, I don't say it's the prettiest. I don't say it's the best line. I buy I buy the best quality ingredients that I do and no one else I know is stupid enough to buy it. I don't even say they're wrong. They're right. Even at JLI now even at JI now >> your mother passed away. Bar dynamis your mother passed away. >> I I just did JLI.
