Ex convict, twenty one foster kids, is trying to win an election Heshy Tischler

Welcome everyone. 31st episode of Clappy and Frank. Two weeks ago we had a high school dropout turn success. This week we have a third grade dropout. Throw out. >> Throw out. >> But not just one Yeshiva. Oh, not just >> a pretty good record. Uh Heshy Tischler. Right. Who's everyone's best friend and some people's best enemy. Right Heshy? Establishment. >> hated. Yeah, if if if in the dictionary there was a word for anti-establishment, it would just say synonymous in the thesaurus it would say Heshy Tischler. Right Heshy? Well, you know what? You guys could you know, I'm so happy first of all Clappy and Clappy that's a cool name Clappy, you know. I'm going to call my next kid Clappy or dog one of them. I'm joking. And my problem is is that you know, my father I'm not going to give you a whole story. Did we start the show yet? Yeah, we started. >> Oh, really? Yeah. I'm getting paid by the hour. Yeah, yeah. Okay, nobody you know, they told me I have a sandwich when I get here. A sandwich? >> That's why I came for food. >> Yeah. Expediters get paid by the hour, so that's why it takes six months to get a permit. Wow. Clappy, you are not funny. I that was not a good joke. You got to listen to my jokes on my show. They're really bad anyways. Anyways, I want to tell you something. It Pesach is coming. And um I have a story to tell you that you know, people ask me why you so serious, why you so real. You're crazy, you're controversial, you're not I never lie. I make mistakes. I mean, look my wife married me. She has a lot of money. 37 years, 21 foster kids, you know that. Wow. >> Three of my own. My father's family was wiped out in the Holocaust. He was a soldier. They killed everybody. This was my 49th Yahrzeit for my father Zionism. I was my father sat me down a month before my Bar Mitzvah and he said to me, "Hershey, I'm going to die. And we're going to move to Israel and you're going to take over the family." Now, my father was doing pretty well after the Holocaust. They killed his family out. Two sisters lived, one couldn't have children because they operated on her. And we were doing better. My mother was once married before. She had two older children. My father took care of them. And things were going good and I was 13. Everything was going well. I was thrown out of Yeshiva, but my father let me do what I wanted to do. It was like I really was having a good life. He sat me down. He says, "Hershey, I want to tell you a story. And the second half of the story is true." He says, "You're going to be taking over the family." I said, "No, you're not going to die, pa. You're not going to die." >> sick? He had a few heart attacks. My mother made him better. He got strong, but he knew the time was coming. He was 60. I just turned 62. I was always scared that I wouldn't make it either. He sat me down. He says, "Hershey, here's the story. Um in the ghetto, there were two friends. One was named Friedman and one was named Epstein." Epstein, you know, he changed it to change the name of it now. But Epstein and Friedman were buddies. And when the Nazis came, uh Mr. Epstein became a Kapo. You know what a Kapo is? They were like a Jewish cop, but they worked for the Germans and they were worse than the Germans. Mr. Epstein had nobody and he became a Kapo. Mr. Friedman, his friend, had a beautiful wife and a daughter and a son. Now, I tell this story to a lot of younger people that I want to inspire who get married, who start a new life, and to do good. And my father says to me, "One day Mr. Friedman's walking in the street with his family and he bumps into Mr. Epstein with two Nazis. And of course, you know, the Nazis were having a good time. They start pushing Mr. Friedman around, having a good laugh. They throw him on the floor. And one Nazi takes out his gun and shoots Mrs. Friedman on the spot. Mr. Friedman starts to cry. The next animal takes out his gun and shoots the daughter right there. Right before they were ready to kill the little boy, Mr. Epstein takes out his stick and beats his friend Mr. Freeman. Beats him till the blood is running on the street. Mr. Freeman's dead. Right before they're ready to kill the little boy, the Jews are ready starting to scream and a little bit getting nervous. Mr. Epstein says to the to the Germans, "Let me take the kid into the woods, kill him, nobody will see." And my father tells me that's the end of the story. Now I'm going to tell you part two that my father witnessed. Mr. Freeman did survive the war. They picked him up, made him better, somehow he made it, and he came to my neighborhood, Borough Park. Now back in the '50s, there wasn't a shul in every corner, in every basement, in every house, and every We had 10, 12 big massive shuls, 500, 700 people, 1,000 people coming every Shabbos. My father davened in one of them, and Mr. Freeman became a gabba, assistant gabba in one of the shuls. And um, you know, every Shabbos guest come to the town, people come from Israel, and so on. One Shabbos, Mr. Freeman is standing on the side of the bima when they call out a guest's name. Something happened, clicked in Mr. Freeman's head, the name. As the guy is walking down the uh aisle, Mr. Freeman turns white. He comes up to the Torah, opens the Torah, and he starts to say the bracha, MR. FREEMAN SCREAMS, "MURDERER!" "MURDERER, YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" SHUL BECAME SILENT, no a pin drop you can hear. The man gets shocked, and he looks at Mr. Freeman. And Mr. Freeman with tears in his eyes, "You murderer, you killed ME, YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" AND THE WOMEN START CRYING, "HOW did you do it, Epstein, you murderer!" And Mr. Epstein, who it was, grabbed Mr. Friedman. He says, "My friend, I can't believe you survived." As Mr. Friedman is screaming and crying, "SURVIVED? YOU killed me. You took everything." And the women were crying and the men didn't know what to say. And Mr. Epstein said, "You don't understand, Mr. Friedman. The rabbi of the town told me to become a Kapo. He said if I can save one person, I should do it. When we bumped into you, they killed your wife and daughter. There was nothing I could do. You were next. So, I took my stick and beat you. You lived, you lived, you died, you died. I grabbed your son. I ran into the woods, and I kept running and running and running." And he points to the back of the shul. He says, "That's your son." As the son comes running to the front, they hug and kiss and the whole shul is singing Siman Tov u' Mazel Tov. My father says it's not the end of the story. He says, "Hershey, I'm a Holocaust survivor, and I swear what I tell you next is the truth. As everybody was dancing, I looked up, and I swear to you, Hershey, I saw the Malachim dancing with us." I said, "Please, 13-year-old kid, no such thing." He says, "Hershey, I swear to you, I saw the Malachim dance." He says, "I'm going to give you a bracha now that I'm telling you that's the best I can do before I die. So, I'm not going to give you a bracha to be healthy. I hope you are. I can't wish you anything. I wish you the best. I hope you're rich, but I'm not going to give you a bracha to be rich, but I hope you are. He says, "My bracha to you is that you do something so great that the Malachim will dance." A month later, Zionists and my father went to Israel to move us. And coming home to pick us up, he died in Israel. My mother and father were very smart. After the war of '67, they went to Hamanochis and they bought two spots. My mother bought right in Chelkas of Borning where Moishe is buried. They offered me a lot of money for his spot. I used to have to go look at it. My father is buried a few spots lower. You know, all all Tishler women, they all have money, so they do whatever they want. And I buried my father, I flew to Israel. And I came home during the shiva, so I had to do the shloshim with my rib jacket, and when I got up from shiva, it was the first night seder. And I remember making that bitter, hateful seder. And I made that seder for 14 years. I married off my two brothers, took care of my mother, moved them over to Borough Park. Then my half-brother stole stuff from us, and we moved to Borough Park, and I became my mother's partner from 14 years old, running her stocks, helping her businesses, renting them out. People were laughing at me. Who is a 15-year-old kid? And I started taking care of them. When I became 26 years old, I did everything I was supposed to. And I told my mother, I said, "Ma, I'm done. I'm finished. I'm tired. I want to have a life. I want to party. I made some money in my business. I had some good money. What business? I was a travel agent. I went to school as a computer programmer. I got my degree. I worked at nights to pay my way. I was a teacher, uh car service driver, and I put away money, and I said, "It's time for me to retire and go." At 26, go where? >> 26, grow a ponytail, and do what all my friends did, travel the world. I don't even want to be religious anymore. My mother laughed at me, and I somehow this woman found me and tricked me into marriage, my wife, Linda. At 26? She was 20. And somehow, you know how these women are. All tricksters, you know what I mean? She said, "Oh, Hershy, we're going to have a good life." 37 years later, I'm still suffering. Anyways, but uh so, I said, "Linda, I'm done." And we we just bought a house, and the [ __ ] didn't want to move out the end of Borough Park. I bought a house cuz I wanted to be somewhat Jewish, you know. >> At 26. You married, you bought a house right when you got married. >> money. When I got married, I said, "Instead of" cuz I was going to travel the world, and then this woman tricked me into marriage. So I had no choice either travel the world or buy a house. And I told him that after I buy the house there's no money. And my wife slept on the floor with me for 5 years raising babies, taking in guest. Now she has >> What's the pitch out on the floor? Cuz we couldn't afford the bed after the house. So uh so uh now my wife has a beautiful bedroom. She painted it red and some other stupid idiot color, but I can't say nothing. Uh anyways, um so um it was it was uh Pesach and she was 8 months pregnant. So I went to my mother says, "Ma First baby?" F- not even born yet. And I said to my mother, "Listen, Ma. I don't want to be religious. I don't want to do the Seder. Please let me go. You have other children. I married them off. I took care of so many nephews and nieces. Please let me go. I want to go." She says, "What did your wife have to say?" And Linda, you know, you know how the women all stick together. They're like little sister. They're sneaky little devils. And they all said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You do whatever you want, you know, you know." They thought you know, they thought I was too smart. So my mother said, "No problem." Old Hungarian lady with the crooked shaitel and all that. "No problem." She give me 15 minutes Seder "and you can go. Go to Florida, get in your car, do whatever you want." I said, "You know, I'm being serious now, Ma." "No problem." she says. "You have nowhere to live anyways because the [ __ ] didn't move out of your house. You know, stay here, don't stay here. No problem. Now I was doing the Seder for 14 years. I did it in Hebrew, English, Hungarian, Yiddish, backwards and forwards. >> Best of all my mother What? Best of all my mother again. Name your you know what I mean? I do the whole My mother cursed at me in all four languages, you know what I mean? So I'm proficient, okay? Not really cuz I was thrown out so many times. So when my mother cursed she had to pick different yeshivas not to understand what they were talking about. Anyways, so during the Seder I'm flying through the Seder. It was going great. And all of a sudden in the middle of the Seder my wife gets up. "The baby's coming." I said, "No, baby. The baby's not coming. The doctor said it's not coming for a month. I'm telling you it's not coming." She says, "Well, I don't know what you're talking about. The baby's coming." I said, "The baby is not coming." I pick up the phone on Yom Tov and the doctor says, "The baby's not coming." I said, "I'm sorry. The woman's screaming at me in Hebrew. I'm telling you, the baby's coming." Anyways, I bend down and I put on her shoe. As I'm putting on the other shoe, plop, the baby falls into my hand. >> The baby at the seder table was born? >> seder, wait, it gets worse. Placenta falls out, blood all over me, Linda passes out, she's >> Wait a minute, the markers are done? >> Wait a minute. Linda passes out, she's dead, the baby's dead, my mother's screaming in a new language that I never heard of. My Down syndrome sister, who I still take care of after 47 years, picked up the phone and called 911. Put it to my ear and they told me, "Do not rip the cord." I said, "But the baby." And then I look down, I see it's a boy, you can tell those things, you know that. And I look and they said, "Do not rip the cord." And for 30 minutes I stood on my knees. I was I'm bent on my knees holding this little piece of nothing and looking at him and I knew right away what his name was going to be. The police come, they cut the cord, they drive us to the hospital. A couple of my friends are having babies that night and they said, "Only Hershey Tisha comes ready-made." Anyways, I check her in, it's 3:00 4:00 in the morning. >> Amanities? Which house? Amanities and I walk home in the snow. And as I'm walking >> Snow? In Pesach? It was Pesach, snowing. And as I'm walking home, it was March 30th, 1991. And I'm walking home in the snow, I look up and I tell baby sister, "You got me. You screwed me again. You have brought me back." Now, my seder Pesach usually ends average between 30 to 50 people. Even when I go away, somehow me and Linda go away, somehow 30, 40 people find us to come, whether it's upstate or Florida or Israel. And Your wife says, "Really?" Half nebich, I know. I I no choice. Yeah, I told you if was American, she wouldn't have got me, you know. Israelis are very big trickster. And they're bad cooks. Uh so uh So anyways, I came home and I remember walking into the house and my mother was sitting there waiting for me. She was smoking a cigarette. Telling me what's going on. We sat there together. She says, "Hershey, I'm 70 years old. I'm going to see the boy married." I said, "Ma, you're 70. There's no way you're going to make >> Pretty good. Two different stories. Your father said he's dying tomorrow and your mother said she's living forever. Right. Well, very I tried to get it reversed. I wanted my father to try to get rid of the mother, you know what I mean? She was the witch. She actually has a broom. She flies around. Anyways, so um Say it isn't Cuz when you said, "Oh, my mother sat me down." I said, "Oh, no, here's another she's about to die speech." But one of Wasn't ready for that. One of the years I was in jail for 9 months in a week. I've been to jail five times. In one year they put me in jail for 9 months and a week. And >> Hold on a second. Your mother 70 years old. Your baby was just born. You get home 4:00 in the morning. She said, "I'm going to live I'm going to be at his wedding. And and the and the story is So I'm going to get to the end of the story. So when I was even in jail for the 9 months, I ran the whole jail. It was a camp. >> What year were you in jail? I was in jail 2013 to 14. My son's my last son's bar mitzvah. 13 and 14? 2013 through >> Together with Rubashkin? Rubashkin, but he was in the maximum. He was in the medium. I was in the camp and I ran the whole camp. We used to wait >> maximum, you ran minimum? >> He I ran my jail. Okay? I made sure that I you know, I used to give out jobs. We used to smuggle in shoes and sneakers. I had people >> aleph bet gimmels going on? Aleph bet gimmels. I had people digging holes in the roadside >> Hey, digging tunnels is a Rubashkin >> Even even even people were even the camp counselor used to come to me. He was the head guy. He used to come eat dinner with me. He said, "Hershey, can you stop stealing stuff from the warden at least?" I said, "Well, I have Shabbos meals to run. My Shabbos meals were nice. I had a sukkah there, nicer than you could ever imagine. Everybody had a lulav, esrog. >> Why did you go to jail, Heshy? Heshy, why did you go to jail? I I so I went to jail because I wouldn't cooperate with the government on the getz. >> On what? On certain things that I you know, I do keep a lot of secrets. I help abused women, getz, uh and stuff like that. >> what says you in the if you look >> did. They said that I filed uh somebody used my name for immigration fraud and then they found me not guilty. Then they came after me for conspiracy for not to cooperate with the government. You go to jail for not It's a conspiracy. >> If they want to lock you up, they'll lock you up. >> when they called me when they called me to the grand jury to testify because 100 people were arrested, 100 Jews. 50 cooperated. The rabbis told me cooperate. I said, "No. I My father's a survivor. I do not cooperate. I have clients to help me. I deal with Italian clients, Jewish clients. I have secrets. I cannot You will kill Forget the business. My reputation." And uh remember >> part of the prodding, that story? I was part of nothing. I am the man who just makes a deal. Got you. I know things that go on and I help people get out of trouble. Got you. And um And when you remember when I went to the grand jury, my lawyer said, "Please, Heshy, act normal." So I sat and the guy came over to me right away there, you know, the grand jury sitting there and I'm sitting there and the prosecutor comes over to me, "What's your name?" I thought about a minute. I said, "F you." Oy. "That's your name?" I said, "Yeah. F you." He said, "Where do you live?" And I did the same thing a couple I said, "You're not cooperating." I said, "I told you what my name and address is. If you can't find it, it's not my problem." Yeah, lady, they came to arrest me right in front of the house. And when the judge dismissed all the cases, they brought up this conspiracy thing. Conspiracy is you don't cooperate. And the judge told the jury, "A conspiracy case is if somebody's robbing a bank and you are not a boss and you know who that guy is or your family member, you have to stop him or report him. Mr. Tischler did not do that." As a favor, us, gave me a year and a day in jail. And then when right when they let me go home, they said to me, "If you cooperate, we drop all the charges. Otherwise, we'll take away your licenses and your businesses." A day before I went to jail to turn myself in, I said, "No. Kiss my behind." I remember one of the get people's people worked for me, and he was shaking when that guy was sitting there and I was screaming at him. I said, "You think you're going to scare me with your gun? I'm 400 lb. I'm going to beat that H out of you." After he says, "You can't talk to me like that." I said, "Why not? I'm going to jail anyways." Anyways, I did my time in jail. I ran the place. You had a good time It sounds like you had a great time there. The only problem is I was away from the right. We had bunk beds, no cells. We had cable TV till the middle of the night. We had three meals a day, minyanim. Are you kidding me? I had siddurs for everybody. >> So, you go You sounds like you want to go back. It wasn't going back. >> with Mickey? The the You were with the other guest? >> with the other guest. Mickey, you know Mickey? >> Mickey what? Schlosser? No. No, no. A different I was there for a show. supposed to be there for 4 or 5 months, and then they came and threatened me again. I said, "I'm doing my whole time. There's nothing >> a year and a day? 9 months and a week. The rest was all good behavior. I remember when I left, all 118 prisoners came. A lot of them were my friends, even the guards that I helped get jobs while they were there and afterwards, came to me and I Oh, the head guard came to my son's wedding. When I left, they gave me a big goodbye speech. Cuz I ran the place. It was very nice. But again, you miss your family and um What? They couldn't come visit every week? They could come anytime you want. You can just drive up. And my mother I didn't let come. And I remember the head guard wheeling her in. Says, "Has she She's coming to visit you?" I said, "No, you can't bring this old lady here." And he says, "No, we are not going to let you not have a visitor." And cuz again, I did a lot of stuff for those people and I made sure everything was calm and they got what they needed from clothing to medicines that I had to smuggle in and stuff like that. So, it's orthopedic shoes. It was very cool what we did. Did you pay off the guards, Hershy? I never bribed anybody. Sometimes they needed a little bit of help. And has she helped? Has she was able If you ever watch this television What does help mean? There's a movie called The Great Escape. And if there's one guy called the Scrounger. I came in with a bag of tuna fish and slippers. By the time I left, I had a Mexican MIS member MS-13 member as my bodyguard. Okay, really followed me around. I mean, I don't know what they wanted for me. But so I came out of jail. They took everything from me and I thought I was dead. I was going to declare bankruptcy. I My tenants didn't pay rent. And all of a sudden the chief calls me. Clients not coming in and my business not only flourished I'm 10 times more the expediting business, my apartment building It just Forget everything just hit. You know, even my soup kitchen and the money that we put away me and my son, we now feed 158 families for the last 14 years every Shabbos without missing. And I'm not talking a little cheap box chicken My boss, I'm only the man who gives money and helps pack boxes. We've been doing it for 14 straight years. In Borough Park. We have a small little center and we feed 158 families. Very nice. Clappy, keep it up. What is Clappy talking about? If you would have brought me a sandwich, I would have let you talk. I'm joking, Clappy. You get too nervous, Clappy. Me? If you would have brought me a a sandwich, which I would have been quiet. You're very famous Yeah. in the world of Jewish politicians for constantly running for public office. I'll get to that. You want to embarrass me? That's fine. >> you. >> running for If you would have let me finish the story, you'll get the idea of who I am. >> his mother What about Did his mother come to the wedding or not? >> home when I came home from jail I built up my thing and I knew I had to marry off two kids and things were going well. And my second son, we come from a High a Hasidic family. So, the way it works is the oldest gets married, the next gets married, the next. And my son's named Avram, Yitzchak, Yaakov. Uh so, anyways In other words, like in your mother said she'll live till the wedding. The bris was what? Acharei Pesach? Acharei Pesach today. >> the baby after your father? >> Avram [ __ ] correct. >> That was 1991? >> Yes. Then '92, I had the second one, and then two boys. All three boys. >> And the next one was in 2000, but >> So, you never had the girl? I've had fostered girls, but no. And I've nephews and nieces, but no, never had a girl of my own. >> did the first fostered child you had was a girl? No, we took in some of the kids' friends or friends kids. >> Now, I was wondering because you never had a girl, maybe you wanted to maybe you wanted to adopt a fostered girl. No, no, we had two girls that come to our house. A lot of nieces and >> But no biological daughter. No biological. >> Did your mother see the wedding? Yes or no? So, my second son came to me. My mother got sick a little bit, and I moved it to the house. We took care of it. We split our house, made our house a hospital room. I saw what she did for my father, so I did it for her. And everybody who came into my house, the rule is when you come visit me, you must stop by my mother. And we have hundreds of people coming all the time. And people my mother knew everybody's gossip, who's cheating on who, who's back She insulted everybody. And people were scared to visit me cuz they have to stop off by the mama, but that's the rule. And I remember my second >> Passport control. >> My second son went on a shidduch date, and he got engaged. And my son came to me. I said, "You can't get married. The older brother has to get married first." So, of course, they screwed They cheated me. They snitched on me. They went to my mother. And my mother started screaming at me. "You're going to let him marry?" I said, "Mama, since when do the rules change?" Says, "This is the 21st century." I said, "It doesn't work like that, Mom." Anyways, she said, "Okay." I said, "Okay, Mommy, we'll get him married." So, we made the chassan, and my mother was good, and she came to the wedding. But she didn't come to the first guy's wedding. At the wedding, we have a rule that tishlas whenever we have a bris chassan, we sit in a room, and we try grant wishes. Yeah, like the Godfather, whatever it is, we try to help people. My oldest son walks in to me with this girl. Says, "I want to get married, Dad." I just made a wedding, you know. >> I I'm broke. So, anyways, they wheeled my mother in. "He's getting married." I said, "I hope you have the money, old lady." And 5 months later, he got married. It was uh El Shaddai's. How old was she? She was 94. And she was in perfect health. And um we did the Shiva broches and it was the last Shiva broches Shabbos. I said, "Ma, I got to go walk to Avenue R and East 14th Street, an hour and a half away. And I volunteer at the hospitals. I walk around all the time. I said, 'Ma, I'm not going to make it back.'" She says, "Okay." Not going to make it back for what? To the to see her on Shabbos. Usually, I help her out Shabbos. So, I put my brother in charge. As I came back Motzei Shabbos, my brother says she got sick. We took her to the hospital and that night she died. She didn't even stay to see the broches. But, she waited to both weddings. So, Pesach by me is a very serious holiday. Now, I relate the birth of my son and the freedom of the Jews. I know the Aibishter spoke to me. And he said to me, "Listen to me, boy. You're going to help Klal Yisrael. You don't need the money. I will watch you. I will take care of you." And I've been taking care of Klal Yisrael. So, when you want to tell me about the elections that I run, I don't want to run for election. Not interested at all. My mother died. And somebody came over to me at the Shiva, "Hershey, we can't take these two idiots running, Yeger and Hikind. Run." I said, "I don't know what to do. I behind the scenes, I help raise them money. I give them advice." I ran. I beat them in the debate, but of course I got crushed but I wasn't experienced. The next time, all the politicians told me what to do. It was COVID and they lied to me and they screwed me. I didn't know the system. The third time I learned the system, I won the election by one vote. And somehow, 20 votes popped up 2 weeks later. >> Oh, I didn't know that. Which Which election was that? It was the vote for City Council against Kalman Yeger. And he won by 20 votes? >> He won He won by 20 votes. And so, I or 21 because you didn't have to do the recount of 21. In a district we we don't even know where the votes came from. They took go to court and fight again with more money. I gave up. And then the last election I ran again then Simcha Felder and all the group switched from state senate to city council to this you know musical chairs and they crushed me. So now I am going to be running for state senate again. Now why do I keep running? First of all I'm known by the political world. All the people are scared of me. The policemen come to me for help. Judges come to me for help. I know how to navigate the red tape. You think I need to be elected? I make more money in a day than these politicians do in a whole year. Really. They're a bunch of losers. And if you ever talk to some of them they're so stupid they don't even know how to add. Really. I don't know how they do budgets. I help people with their homes. I help children out of jail. I have people who come home from jail that have nowhere to go. I have 300 open apartments. One guy who lives by me had did some things but I bring them in. I give them a place to live. Don't charge them rent and they pay a little bit, get their social security papers in order whatever and send them back into world. And I have one apartment for abused women. That means if something happens even when the police come or whatever it is I know the laws. I carry my constitution with me, bill of rights. When the cops think they can do whatever they want I put them in their place. And no matter Well why would the cops bother battered woman? >> Husbands come saying I kidnapped their children. I kidnapped their wife or whatever and I tell them that you can jump in the lake. I'm gated up. And when the cops come threatening me I talk to them about warrants and I tell them exactly who I am and I warn them if they had take out the gun I'm a big fat guy not anymore. The bullet better go all the way through because if not you're going to be in big trouble. So you know I fight the system daily for the people. Now I see what I can do one-on-one. Just imagine I get cuz these government officials they change the DOB laws, finding my my landlords, tripling the fines with nobody stopping us, arresting my kids for having a a double parked. I mean really they can do that to you. Idling your car, thousands of fines. You know, we give criminal DOB, Department of Buildings issues criminal tickets for working against a stop work order which they screwed you for a year because they don't let you build on technicalities. I have tape recording messages of inspectors talking to each other how they're closing all the Jewish porta potties. You know what that means? Jewish Yeshivas, they call us toilets. I catch them. I threaten them. And when they're in trouble, who do you think they come to? Come to you? Me. Cuz I'm the only one who knows how to keep his mouth shut. I can go through a bunch of stuff. >> Actually, you don't know how to keep your mouth shut. It doesn't seem to be one of your skills. Listen to me. My mouth never shuts, but I know how to do things behind the scenes, back door tables. And it The point is, I know how to deal with the government. I know how to deal with the courts. I've been struggling on the streets since I'm 13 years old. And I've, you know, my half brother stole all our money, became very rich, took my father's money. And I remember meeting him when I was 19. He told my mother sign over the papers. The kids are 13. I'll learn everything. He was 36 years old. He just died. And I remember he helped me get to Israel. When he died, I didn't want to go to his funeral or shiva. And the Ribnitzer Rebbe, who I help with his shul, made me go. And when I got there, his casket was open and all that. And I buried him. I was stupid. And I said Kaddish for a week. I don't know why. But my point to you is, I even paid him helping me with my funeral. But when he took everything, we were broke. Holes in our shoes, the kids, cold in the house. And we rebuilt it. I helped my mother. I helped my brothers. And And Baruch Hashem, the Aibishter smiled. Even though he took everything away from me. >> want to laugh and dance, Hashy? I want you to know I have always, I swear to you, I know you're going to laugh. I do things to really try to know that when I stand before before the holy courts, I'm going to tell the Aibishter what I've done. I know it. I know I I So, one time I sat with a holy rabbi that I helped out and the the holy Kaliver Rebbe and he sat me down because sometimes he used to call me to do things in He didn't want to have the beard because the Nazis ripped it or something. >> my father was from Kaliv and my great great great great grandfather made that old great great great holy Kaliver Rebbe the Rebbe there's famous stories about the Rebbe Yaakov Fish and the Kaliver Rebbe big books and I remember sitting with the Kaliver Rebbe and I said to him Rebbe I never going to see the Malachim dance. He says hey see all those people that you helped when you used to go to their weddings those are your little angels. I love the way he said it. I still want to see the Malachim dance. I really do but so you guys think I'm a joke that I'm crazy and I'm running. I wake up every morning knowing that I'm Muslim >> asking about >> I got you. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the rest of your audience out there who make fun of and and don't vote for me or why should we vote for the crazy one? He's never going to win anyways. I show you that I could raise the money. I show you I know the How much did you raise? I always raise the maximum amount because my clients even though they don't want me to be elected and I have a lot of you Lubavitchers they know they have to support me. You went to Lubavitch Yeshiva, right? Last year? I was in Lubavitch Yeshiva in third grade. Third And that's where I I learned to curse over there. I didn't know the meaning of it. So when I went home to curse my mother beat the hell out of me. I said but those are not bad words Mommy. Those are bad words I shall laugh. But I remember I was in third grade where my Winegarten was my Rebbe and we used to fight a lot and I was shortish and he used to steal my snacks. I don't know what you Lubavitchers you're nuts in your brain. And uh he stole one time my bag of potato chips and I got up on the chair and I said >> What did he do with it? He started to eat it. I got up on my chair and I said I'm going to beat you up and my friend Bichler and Yossi Hecht were there. He said you can't fight the Rebbe. I said well I'll fight him and I'll beat him up. He beat the hell out of me but I got my potato chips back. And I was thrown out for a couple days that time and then >> chips. Whatever. I I to Satmar, sorry for Torah V'Daas, Bais Shmuel. I got to high school. Uh there was one more in the middle of all of them. Where you get before the last one? >> Satmar, sorry for Lubavitch, uh Torah V'Daas, Bais Shmuel, and then I went to Adelphia and there the rabbi must have sucked my money for a lot of money because he wouldn't throw me out no matter what I did. And I ran that prison camp for four years. And me and Rabbi Schein are still good friends 40 years later. He met me at a wedding about a year ago. He made my son's uh he was the uh mesader kiddushin. Um the rabbi from jail, Rabbi Ben Chaim, also came to be mesader kiddushin. >> Rabbi Rechter was No, Rabbi Rabbi Rechter and me and him were not too good friends, but whatever. What? That's where you were? He was the chaplain? Yeah. So he's a sweetheart, a teddy bear. >> but again, there are certain rules you have to break and put your life on the line. I put my life on the line. I am not scared to stand before the police. I'm not scared to stand in Palestinian protests and then come and attack me. I'm not scared when they came to my house to kill me, two Palestinians. I will fight for class. >> to your house? What happened? >> during when I was arrested for one of the riots, you know, burning the mask when they tried to beat up my children on 13th Avenue. So I stopped them and some guy made a complaint I beat him up, which was a lie. So they came to my house and I taunted the mayor. I said, "Come get me." Seven cop cars, four detectives, two warrant officers. >> it was Shabbos or Yom Tov, right? >> Right. Must be Yom Tov. They were waiting for me and I walked right out and I said, "Come get me, you little punks." >> came out with the cop skin? I'm very confused. That was where I was arrested. So when I they put me in jail, they tried to they arrested me, they lost my fingerprints, kept me in jail for two days. All the prisoners loved me cuz I gave them a lot of advice. They lost my fingerprints. How can you lose a guy's fingerprints that been arrested five times? Anyways, so they kept me in jail to punish me. Finally, they let me out. I remember I was arguing with the judge. "Shut up Tuvia, so I'll keep you another day." I said, "Be my guest. I don't like my wife." And uh my lawyer just begged me. said please have she shut up. So anyways they tried to threaten me to make a deal and I said no I'm going to trial. They lowered my charges that I couldn't get a jury trial. So I had to go before a judge which was a gamble another year in jail. So I said okay I made a deal for probation and case dismissed it's called an ACD if I don't get in trouble for 6 months. Hold on, when did two persons come to your house? >> Let me tell you something. I got 14 days community service. They wouldn't let me do community service in my own soup kitchen in my own place. So they put me into a gay outlet store. I was selling women dresses. I was a great salesman man. Those men loved it. And then they put me in a black church in Fulton Street. Mhm. We were serving 200 people a day they love me there. And I remember the mayor and they bragged how they put me in a Jewish guy by the name of Farkas who lives in Flatbush who was my prosecutor was so vicious that they made sure to put me in this soup kitchen black church church. And I was serving the people and they posted Is it a firm guy Farkas? Firm guy. Pig. One day I'll get him. I'm not going to kill you Mr. Farkas. I pray for your death. God forbid I love all Jews. Anyways maybe he crashes I don't know. Anyways I won't visit him in the hospital. That's a joke guys. It's a joke. I love Klaussner except for Farkas. Anyways so um what happened was while they were posting my name and where I was so I came home one day from the thing and there were two people we have them on video across the street double parked Palestinians. They jumped out of the car when they saw me and my wife and granddaughter were there and they came to attack me. And of course I'm not scared and I went to head on Did they attack with guns or what was No just I don't know what he had with him to beat me up. And I fought him back one knocked him I think one punched me in the face I didn't see him coming from the other side. I stood in front of the car I wouldn't let them run. Finally they tried to run me over. And you know the fat man do things go. And then anyways they got away. The police came to protect me, 12 of them. I said, "Now you come? You didn't catch him." I sent my friends to Shmura and we caught him. He bragged on text messages that we had in court, "We got the fat politician. We got the Jew." They let him out a day later. He beat up another Jew. He attacked a third Jew. Finally, the attorney general went after him. Nobody came to his court case except for me. They gave him 18 months in jail and let him out after 9 months. He apologized that his father in Palestine was very abusive and that's why he comes and beats up Jews. Sorry, Mr. Tischler. You know, I and I was going to say in front of the judge, "Judge, I really wish I could have had a chance to choke him to death." But he didn't kill me. And that's when you know, that's what you do. You fight them daily. So I go to the protests. One of the other protests, the guy attacked Palestinian attacked me or whatever. And the cops let him go again. And me and my boys caught him. I'm not letting you get away with it. I'm going to fight back. I'm working you know, with everybody sitting me doing the last war. Actually, you're going to Israel. I got 80 helmets and >> After after October 7th? >> After October 7th, one of my great great cousins, whatever, got killed there, major. So I'm I have Israel relatives all over Hasidism, modern, Mizrahi. We're there since 1945. >> what are you? I am a Heimish. My father was a Hasidic. They ripped out his beard and payos. So then he never grew it back. My kids grew up beard, whatever. But I follow my father's way. He's a Heimish. So you're Heimish, you're Hasidic? My father was a Tosher Rebbe's gabbai. But your wife doesn't My wife has joined my team. I mean, she's modern, but She wears a sheitel or not? So we're modern. We're modern. My my my daughter-in-law's wear sheitels, my aunts, uncles, cousins. >> a Hasidic, but he's a Rabbi Eisenberger, right? >> Right. Right. So you're more Heimish. Actually, you >> I'm a Tosher Rebbe. The Tosher Rebbe and I are cousins. I go to the Rebbe all the time. He comes to me. The Rebbe Montreal? Canada, yeah. Actually, you told me his wife doesn't wear a sheitel on 17th and Where do you live? 17th and 40? 46th 4th Street and they kiss her and they they love her. She does more chesed in a day than everybody in that block. They kiss her and we have children coming and going. So, you know, I just >> You told me Hershey, you go to the hospital what? We go I know I used to go every day. Now I go to the center. It's the rehab center. >> Our parking The brown building next door to Maimonides near the near the parking lot? Right. No, no, no. You That's the hospital. We're on the other side. >> Our parking lot at the rehab? I do, you know, stupid stuff. Wheelchair, fight with the nurses, doctors, and scream and holler. Do people's laundry, stupid stuff. Do you go there every day? Uh every morning. Every morning? And Shabbos, I walk with some friends and we go visit people, hand out packages, make people smile, do stupid videos, nothing major. Videos on Shabbos? I could. I didn't know I could. >> You just said you do video. What is Shabbos? It said I do videos. How do you Frank, I know that you have a little problem hearing because we're both hungry. If you would have brought a sandwich, I would have given you half. You told me you're a cheap guy. >> Hershey, you lost 200 lb. >> 150 lb. We don't want to give you sandwiches. Are you kidding me? I eat like a dog. >> Hershey, how did you do it? My doctor I was watching television. And I saw an ad for exactly going back 3 years ago. And if you did it for diabetes. And and I tried every diet. Every diet from water diet, shake diets, In prison, did you lose any weight? Hershey, in prison, did you lose any weight? Oh, prison? Are you kidding me? I was a king. You want to see his picture? I have a stable. Forget about my lunch. Chulent, kugel, fish. You kidding me? We had the meal of our life. Doubles if you wanted. Chulent was the only problem and I had to smuggle in the hard salami. That was the hard part. Anyways, so uh How how did you get smuggled into the prison? Oh. I had I was assigned to give people jobs. So, we had to clean the road leading the camp out. >> Oh. So, I made them dig holes and I made maps. So, all the visitors used to drop in cheeses and salamis and so they used to pick it up and put it in my garbage cans and all the guards knew you can't touch the garbage cans unless you gave permission. And then I used to drive around in my truck they gave me and pick up all my stuff. And when I was in the warehouse, me and the guard was friends, you know what I mean? He didn't have children and me and him used to talk a lot and he used to ask me this pile you can steal from, this pile you couldn't. When you tell you can't steal from a particular pile it belongs to the warden shed, beautiful vegetables and fruits. It was mine. When did you start your radio show? Your Wednesday >> was in jail just an introduction when we called up Hershy we were trying to get him on the show. He said, "Clappy, Frank, listen closely. Wednesdays are not touchable. I have a radio show. That's right. Any other day of the week I can try to accommodate." Tell me when you started your radio show. Who do you bring on as guest and what do you try to accomplish in your message? >> When I was in jail, I used to talk a lot and give people advice and as I walked the you know, the the jogging path. So, people used to talk to me from rabbis and people would tell me their problems or secrets or things we had to smuggle in and that was my office and the basement I used to sit in the corner. And so people used to say to me, "Hershy, you just talk so much. We just get so much of Hershy or too much of Hershy or not enough Hershy." And one guy used to walk with me and say, "You know, why don't you make a radio show called Just Enough Hershy?" >> Just Enough Hershy. >> And we talked about it and I came home and I was telling my son. My son said, "Yeah, Ty, I can get you some time if you buy whatever, Just Enough Hershy." And I started a show. I used to bring up politicians, crazy people, just anybody who wanted to come on the show. Now it's more politics, but anybody wants to come on my show, magicians, people who have stories, Holocaust survivors. >> Hold on. Hold on. But now it's pretty much me and my co-host and I had a co-host >> Who's your co-host? >> Uh now it's Tom Bryce, a guy who helps me very good with my politics. Back then I had a whole team of comedian, my best friend after he died who died and he was my voice of reason all the years even when I came home, "Hershey, you could do it again." He It was It was solid to me. When he passed away, I took in his daughter and he was mine. >> Hershey, you show your badge, your little thing you walk around like a like a clown? Always. That's right. Just What does it say? It says Just Enough Hershey Show. >> Not Mr. Kaplan. Watch you know what's crazy? >> Wednesday night, 9:00. They told me I can't do it, but you know what I mean? They didn't bring me a sandwich, I can't be quiet. Carby, you know what's funny? I always thought he was a nut neck for saying, "Watch my show." Now that we have a podcast for 7 months, it's I I sound just like this this meshugana. Watch my show. Watch it. And and you have to learn how I you know, I didn't really care to sell my product. I'm on the radio, I want to I want to educate my neighborhood. >> Renner? And it's made for >> Hershey, with that Renner, right? With that Renner. It's made just for my community, so they can come out and vote and be educated. But now I see that it doesn't work. So now we're going to make it more profitable. We're doing social networking all over. It's going up big time. I'm not really interested in making any money on it. I don't even When I do advertising, I do I advertise for people for free. I don't need their money. The whole objective of the show was was to educate. If somebody has a problem, to know how to reach out to Hershey. And I thought I was doing good. And I really wanted to cancel the show a few times. And? And I don't know, I just keep doing it and I keep running for politics like you keep saying. I want to retire real badly and nobody believes I'm going to retire. I'm going to sit on the beach with my wife, Linda, and drink pina coladas and make fun of the rest of you. But let me ask you a question. And I know you don't like these hard questions, but I'm going to ask it anyways. >> He can handle anything this guy. A couple of years ago, something happened with somebody that maybe you would consider him an opposition person to you. I think he's a very famous um news reporter. I'm not even going to say his name. >> Famous. And he says that you were like antagonizing him and you told somebody to surround him and he was held, so it was captivity and you got arrested. I'm going to tell you the true story. What's the story? >> I'm very involved with the police, like you have a lot of your guys very involved with judges and people. And happens to be it was COVID. And the Jews came out to do some special shaving, the police didn't let. In Crown Heights? I remember. >> No, this was in Borough Park. Borough Park. So I came out about 8:00, and I came out with a couple of young guys, and I danced with them, and I jumped in my car, I had another event, and then from there I went to Crown Heights uh to your uh special shaving. And I got home really late that night. It was like 12:30, quarter to 1:00. Exhausted. And I keep my phone on day and night, even on Shabbos. Shabbos I don't pick it up, but if somebody dies in the hospital and they need my services or somebody's arrested, there's a signal and I pick up the phone. If it's super emergency. Anyways, that night I got home real late. I And Linda was really really upset with me. It was, you know, Yom Tov, and this is how you how you come home, chol hamoed, you know, we're supposed to spend I said, "Linda, it's politics, and you know, I had to make my rounds. COVID, you know, I kept I made I kept open. Not only did I open all your parks, 19 You opened the Crown Heights parks. 19 parks. >> Hold on, Rabbi. Here's the best part. Shmira and Shomrim are the Mr. Machos, right? They all When it came to COVID, they refused to open the park. However, they did deliver the snipper cuz Hashy >> my own snipper. He says he had his He had his own He didn't have his own snipper. He had an argument about the snipper. >> make a big deal. >> have his own key. And you know what? In Williamsburg, And Hashy came >> Rabbi Niederman was supposed to open it. They called me to be their guest there. He chickened out, and again I had to call the While the police was standing right there. Hashy, I called you. I say, "I'm not scared of you. Hashy, I called you. I called I have the videos. >> constitution. I called you and I said, "Why are you not opening Lefferts Park? The kids are platzing." So you said, "Where is it and I'll come." The problem is that I worked in a call center then remotely at home, and I couldn't leave. I was scared I was going to get fired. But everybody was sending me live videos. Everybody was sending me videos. park and Lefferts Park. They were sending me videos in live time how you opened up Lefferts Park. You snipped it, you opened it, and then the cops came and there was a MILLION MOTHERS AND CARRIAGES AND BABIES AND THE POLICE STARTED telling people to leave. Each person that left, 20 more people CAME IN. AFTER 20 MINUTES, NO, NO, NO. NO, NO, NO. You know what? What you don't know, the reason the reason why the cops left was a little black kid came over to me while the cops are standing there, smacked me five and said, "Thank you, Heshy." Cop had to turn AROUND AND LEAVE. WOW. I ALSO felt >> up 105 ran 104 weddings. You know, we snuck in through the back door, followed the chefs at night. I remember one chef called the guy from not Must Be Af, from Masaskim. Yanky was very famous. He says, "Can you please tell Heshy to stop following us?" Cuz at 8:00 they got off and that's when I opened the front gates. Usually we snuck in. Did 104 weddings in Hisach. Remember going in and sneaking in. Heshy, how did you know That particular night, it was a quarter to 12 quarter to 12. >> you went to jail or after? >> before. It was 1:00 in the morning. And I got a call from Inspector King. He was the chief of the 66. He says, "Heshy, get yourself to 13th Avenue right now." I said, "It's 1:00 in the morning, man." He says, "You have 2,000 kids here burning masks, screaming and holding back traffic. You are responsible to them." I said, "Are you crazy? You have a councilman and assemblyman, a senator, you have all your rabbis. Why you calling me? They're all yours. You're the one who instigated." I said, "It's getting what? You guys made COVID. You interact with all your different agencies. I stop you. So, the kids are burning masks because of you." I said, "I wasn't even there. I'm in Crown Heights. I'm tight. If you don't come, Heshy." Oh, we're going back to the story. Yeah, it was Yom Tov. Yeah. >> Yom Tov. If you don't come to help them, I have 400 cops that will come and some of these children will get hurt. If they get hurt, it's your fault." I said, "Inspector King, you do not do that." He says, "You have 10 minutes to get here or I will start attacking them." I jumped in my car, ran through lights, nobody stopped me, got there, somebody beat up another reporter, Uh a guy's brother who was a moiser going into our wedding halls reporting on camera. And um When you say moiser, Herschel, I want to say that at that time people felt religiously compelled. They thought spreading COVID, killing people. It was It was a It was a crazy time. >> a difference. A moiser is a moiser whether you're right or wrong. Go to your rabbi. And the point being is even Kalman Yeger, our councilman, father was walking around Borough Park screaming at people, "Wear your mask!" And I used to laugh at it and burn it right there in front of them. So, that night there was a lot of fights. And when I showed up, everybody was screaming, "Herschel, Herschel, Herschel." Now, you're not allowed to use the police car's microphone. The inspector came over to me and said, "Herschel, you got to disperse them." I said, "Listen, you're crazy. You can't disperse them. 13th Avenue, you shut down, buses were being shaked, garbage fires all over." >> This was Simchas Beis Hashoeivah, Simchas Beis the last day. It was one more day to go. I'm sorry, it was the second day. >> Sukkos. It was the end of Sukkos. I remember it like yesterday. >> more day, Chol HaMoed. Moed Yom Tov is when they arrested you, though. That's for sure. >> Right. But this was after this I was arrested. But this was before that. So >> Right. This was the lead-up. And I remember so I said to the to the cops, "You got to give me something." They said, "Listen, we will allow you on COVID, we'll give you two blocks, and you can close it up, have your music, and do your Simchas Beis Hashoeivah." Does that have a Ginsburg connection? Get everybody home. I don't know. I went on the microphone, I got everybody out of the streets within 1 hour, the firemen pulled out the fires, and the next night we set up a Simchas Beis Hashoeivah, and the cops paid for my music. 2 hours later. Now, while we were there, they were walking up, some people enticed me with their videos, they said dirty words, I tried to keep quiet, the cops followed me. They were watching me. We had like at least 70 cops there. You were the ringleader of all the fun. >> And they were watching me walking back and forth, kids were following me, music was going on, and then they start screaming, "Herschel, the moiser, some guy who called on national television the mayor I made peace with him but he called the mayor on Yom Tov. We're all watching this on national TV and he gives out the address of the shul which is his shul that's open. He said it on national television. Everybody knew who he was. Crazy times. >> So he shows up at our event where they told him not to come. So all the kids ran there screaming and surrounded him and threatening him. So I ran over there to protect him. Anyways, I screamed at him too. Nobody touched him and the cops came and whisked him away. We had cops all over the place. Then they accused me of hitting him which was a lie. It was on video. Anyways, they came and so I ran the next day I came to to that sukkah, the big sukkah, Rubashkin's sukkah. Rubashkin. And I remember somebody was videotaping me and I went down the videotape and said, "Mr. Mayor, come get me." Oh, you opened up a can of worms. And the governor and him because the governor hated me more and he even quoted my Twitter site. They came and arrested me on Yom Tov in front of my whole family. And I was I didn't care. I was going to fight them but it was a very good publicity event. I was right in the middle of election. I thought I had a chance to win with that but it didn't work. Hershy, my brother asked a question. Do you know any people with the easy with the easy childhood that have big personalities? Oh, I've I've had a lot of people that struggled but yeah, I mean a lot of people have made it I I don't know. Maybe I don't know. I know a lot of important people, a lot of A-list people, a lot of regular people >> My my brother says that people >> person. >> He's basically saying that people that struggled as a child, they develop a character and a personality. >> struggled. See, your father died at 13. >> mistake. I understood that I was >> kicked out of school every year other year. Again, I understood >> of my yeshiva, I understood I was a dumping ground. every yeshiva you come And he always gets thrown out. But my my theory I really at 13 was I don't have to compete against Frank or Clappy. The only person I have to compete against is myself. Each day I must make myself better. I had my attitudes, I had my issues. You know, some people have sex problems and drug problems and drinking problems. I had a problem with smoking and eating. I had a problem that I had other issues that I had to Everybody has their um you know >> misunderstandings Well, I had misunderstandings. I know what mine wasn't so serious like when I was in jail. I had to try to get some good behavior time. So, I joined anger management and drug treatment. So, I'm sitting there in the course and the lady comes over to me and says, "What's your problem?" I said, "Well, I smoke a lot." She says, "This is a drug class." I said, "I can't come. I think cigarettes are a drug." And she gave me a hard time. And I remember when I had to speak, I had to get up and say, "I am a cigarette-aholic." And the guy used to laugh. And that's what I did. And when I went to anger management, I did it four times. I got off 12 days. And I did it again. "What are you angry about?" Oh, I used to complain about my wife and my children. I used to complain about my rabbis. "What about when you were a child?" I said, "Oh, I hate my mother, you know." It was like cool things to say, you know. And it got me out of working, you know. And but again, the kid was never beaten up. They arrested me and then they blackmailed me to try to stop me during the COVID, but I wouldn't stop. I didn't have a tough life. I understood that life is tough. I understood it when I was young. I understood it when we didn't have heat in the house. And my mother kept it at 61. Now, my house is at 90°. If you come into my house, you have a breakdown, I said, "Go open up a window." Okay? My wife sometimes when I really get a fight with her, I not only put on the heat to 90, I put the electric heater on. It's 101. She says, "I'm sleeping in the other room." I said, "That was the point." Actually, do think you're misunderstood? No. Um people are and when I I know you're going to laugh, I'm they're jealous. They're jealous that they don't have People are fearful. I don't know why. You know, I also get up in front of an audience and scared. Scared of what? Scared of what? Scared that they tell you no? Scared they throw something at you? Scared they're going to beat you up? Yeah, you have to be scared somebody's going to kill you or run you over. You have to be careful. You have to do things right. But the only person that I'm scared of, the only thing I'm scared of is my holy father Dybuster. I wake up in the morning knowing that he's having a good laugh. He's going to say to me, "Wow, God I messed with Heschy today." And I'm happy because I'm making Dybuster happy. Maybe I'm making the world a better place. That's the way I look at it. Not that he's making fun of me and torturing me and making me suffer and I don't have $14 to take out my cleaners. You know what I mean? I have no problem with that, by the way. Heschy, if you had real Heschy, if you had a real political power, what are the first five things you would change? That's right. And do you think you get along with other politicians? You need other politi- >> Politicians come kiss me all day long. You don't know You don't have a secondary phone just for emergencies and they tell So what would you change? Five things, Heschy. the ambulance driver on the way to the hospital tells my son one time, "Your father does thing outside the box." I said, "Yacov, I don't do things outside the box. Those idiots are scared to work anywhere but inside their little safe box." And so if you had power, what are the five things you would change? >> So as I told a lot of people, number one, our budget who are these are uneducated, incompetent, low-life, stupid uh city council people. The reason why we're so way over budget is we have to look at the government agencies. They do nothing. Did you ever call the DOB? You can't get through 80 times to your calls. Do you ever get through to your councilman or your senators? Really, try to call them. 80, 90 times till they pick up the phone and call you back. I would like to >> success reaching the the DOT, the DOF, the DOS, the FDNY and uh of course 311 is does that is 311 helpful or 311 is the worst for everybody. >> Wait, I'm going to tell you about with them. I'm going to shut them down completely. >> Okay. You combine these agencies because during COVID they were able to work together. They were able to get issue right now they can't work together but during then they were able to issue each other's fines, shut down buildings, stop weddings, issue us criminal tickets. The fi- police dep- salutations >> Okay, number one you'll merge agencies. >> If you look at the budgets that they spend which I reviewed the city budget, I can save 2.2 to 2.4 billion dollars. >> you told the mayor. I I told And in the famous interview Everybody Everybody knows that Mamdani watches our show every week. >> Okay, good. >> So Mamdani Zoran he couldn't show you how to save 0.1 billion dollars in the budget. >> better. I've sent this in by the way. Number two. He watches the show. And he sent it in he sent it in person. I sent it into At the Yanks. Now you're going to say, well actually by combining the agencies we're going to lose violations and tickets and fines. No, by allowing the people to build and move things quicker across the board and stop >> the red tape More income is going to come in. More taxes will be paid. More fees will be paid instead of finding us and making us to go to court. You know the judges by the city who do parking tickets must find 173 guilty violations a day or they get fired. Now why must we do that? Just raise the price of a car. I know it's a state fee. Charge a $10 fee to every city just to register their car. You will make back double the money you're getting from your tickets. Double the money and you can use all those little policemen to move traffic along so we don't need congestion pricing. Number two. That's number two. Number two is Number three. We're holding number two. We're holding number two number three. Number three and number two is most importantly is that what we have to do is we have to look over a lot there's a lot of agencies that do nothing. There's one agency that spends a half a million dollars a year to decide where plaques go. Not to move the plaques. They decide where to move a plaque or a statue. >> What's a plaque? >> You know, a little sign that goes on the park wall or a statue. Their job is to tell you it should go there. I swear to you, it's a lot of people there. >> What agency is it called? It's uh I forgot the name of the agency. >> Half a million dollars a year? >> Half a million dollars a year. >> How many employees? Uh I think they have like four or five. >> Can I get the job and just keep it for myself? >> in the in the in Central Park, you have a bunch of people that are making over 30 million dollars of their high-level positions. You're talking overtime alone on the police. You know, we have a 8 billion dollars So, number three, overtime police. >> dollars a week spend on our police force. Now, you want to defund the police. That's the dumbest thing in the world. You have 50,000 police officers. 1/3 of them are used for uh office work. I don't know why. Another third are doing overtime hours. What does overtime hours mean? It means whatever your salary is, you're getting time and a half, double time. So, a guy who does a 24-hour shift is making not three times his salary, he's making six times his salary. Now, you All you have to do is cut the shift down. After 8 hours, he goes home and find somebody to replace him. There's no reason for him to work overtime. Stop the overtime, we can cut 3 billion dollars off the police budget. But, forget cutting it off. Use that 3 billion dollars to bring in more policemen to help us with safety and issues. I can bring in another, I swear to you, 10,000 cops with that money. >> do people not >> Construction and building. Instead of keeping us the zoning regulations down, allow us. I know you don't like the city of New York. Landmark is completely stupid. But, if we build buildings that I can build in my home backyard, do what I want to do, can can continue allowing me to rent above what I'm allowed to, charge a rent tax. I'm saying we're not a rent tax to people that have existing buildings. >> you have also their safety. You don't want to have buildings collapsing like in China. >> course you have to follow plans and permits. But, you know what it is to file a set of plans and permits? They don't expedite it. 6 months to get a new job approved. And not because we don't do it right, cuz the examiners are so incompetent and stupid and they waste our time, they postpone our inspections. And the worst part is is they can do whatever they want. And after you pass every inspection, they can still reject you and stop you. Number five. Millions of dollars of our money. Number five. >> Five. Our landlord-tenant court system takes 2 years to evict somebody. I know people in my family that are dealing with this. They buy a house, a million and a half bucks. >> to be 6 months, 7 months. >> years in, they still can't get them out. >> It's not that you're evicting them. These people don't want to pay or they know how to damage your apartment. You get violations because they call 311, that fake number. So, you make fake damages, give you fake violations, you're paying fines to the city, you're hiring lawyers, which is not fair. 100% not fair. >> long should eviction take according to your opinion? >> should take not more like any other state between 3 to 5 months. My job is I can't torture the judges. But as a city councilman, they use my parking space, my office budget, my offices. Take it all away from them. Anybody who runs court cases more than 4 months. People who take the time Do you know who does have the decisions? The clerks. Clerks are making decisions for them. Incompetent. Unfair. And that's what I want to stop. It is so much more of that budget that I can cut down if you actually look over it. I gave you the time. So, you want five things, I have 50 things I can give. >> Wait a second. Wait a second. We did already the five things. A lot of people that are watching the show and people like me growing up in Crown Heights, I always knew Heshy Tischler for parnassah, your 9-to-5 job is you're an expediter. You help people that are getting permits or having violations. >> from their houses, shiva shut down, shuls closed down. >> a I have a double question. Number one is how did you get into the business? Number two, I'm kind of three parts to the question. One is how did you get into the business of expediting? Number two, you said that it's so corrupt that everybody has to have an expediter. If everything goes and it comes normal, you're going to put yourself out of a job. I don't care. Baruch Hashem. You know And number three, what do you as an expediter who charges a client to help them get rid of all these issues, what what are you what are you able to do? Like I'm just >> Anything. I'm not telling you to tell No, no. I'm not telling you the secrets, but give me a little bit idea of how you get them expedited. >> so here's the deal. Again, how did you become an expediter? >> because of Lubavitch. Um, and I know you're going to laugh and think I'm lying. So, my I bought a I was doing real well in construction and development. >> Real well? >> Real well. I was doing I was a plumber. >> a little bit I was doing I was a plumber. >> real well. I thought it was a type of work called real well. >> a plumber. I was I did a government program and I worked for my brother and then I went and did plumbing on my own. Then I started to work for people. I started doing minor construction. Then I started doing developments. And then I put away enough money to buy my own little building I was chasing. And uh the lady died and the children had a hard time and and finally I bought the building and decided I'm going to do what I always do. I'm a builder. I'm a contractor. I go to my architect and my architect cheated me. 50 grand couldn't get me approved. The building department started causing me trouble coming to my building. >> Where was this building? >> Borough Park on 54th and 16th. Was it near Lubavitch? So, um I In the middle of the night I started working on my building, finishing it up, hiding it, fighting the city, fighting the chief inspector. It was like crazy violations. My partner Pinny had a problem. He was a big developer in 2008 and he lost his project. I bought my building just before the collapse. So, I gave up all my job because I put a million dollars into this building, all my money. This is supposed to be my office and the income for the children. And the building department wouldn't cooperate. So, me and Pinny when we joined up, we started doing minor construction jobs again. We gave up all our big jobs and we started to fight the building department. And I remember as a citizen I used to scream and holler at them and they used to threaten Pinny that if he doesn't behave, we're going to throw you out. And I remember cursing the chief. He was a black guy. You piece of effing every day. And one day I passed a window and I see become an expediter. 50 bucks. Fill out the form. >> You said to become an expediter for 50 bucks? Back then, of course. It's a course. No, fill out a form. Yeah. Now you have to take a course and a honorable test. You know, you can't bribe people. Back then it was simple. So I became an expediter and I started doing it from the inside. And again, the chief was giving me a hard time. And I remember I was volunteering in the hospital one Shabbos and in walks Chief Gordon Holder. I said, "What are you doing here?" Cuz we used to curse each other every day. F you, F you. Yes, I used dirty words sometimes. Anyways, people used to laugh at my fighting with him in the morning. His daughter was one of my people I gave out my packages to. And I gave him a package. You can't give me a slap. I can do whatever I want. And if you don't behave, I can throw you out of my building. And I went back for solace in this. I gave him sandwiches. Monday morning I came, he sat me down, he showed me what to do, and I passed my building right away. And anybody who had a problem with Chief Gordon Holder for the next 10 years called me. And he used to recommend people to come to me. He says, "You know, if you have a problem, Tishler knows the ways." And I learned the court cases. Just shows you. I taught other expediters how to become expediters. I taught other people how to become a court to fight court cases. I'm happy to teach other people my business cuz I want them to make a pony. So I used to teach widows, single women, women who finished women to become They became very good. The Babaji places. So right after I got my building approved, I got a call from the Babaji. They shut down the Ohel Mikvah and three of the houses. So what do you want from me? We heard how you fought the city. We want you to come help us. I said, "I don't do this." "We'll pay you a fee." I said, "I don't take a fee." And me and my partner Pinny, we were doing plumbing. We had a licensed plumber and we helped with the gas and we tricked the inspector and we opened the Mikvah and from then on in people just started coming to Well, that was your first job. Okay, so you got thrown out of the Babaji Ocean Parkway but they put you in the >> Open up the Ohel Mikvah. And then from the time coming and then my partner said, "Hey Shielona, we start charging." I said, "We're we're contractors." And people just start coming and coming. >> Hershey, there's a rumor going around that you opened 770 after the tunnel bigger. So when your tunnel happened, they gave you the vacate order. We were called by somebody to use our engineer to give the reports and help get it up. We were one of the group of people and I take full credit. Well, not really, but I you know me, I like to take more credit than I'm entitled to. And we didn't get paid by the way to help you open the 770. Yes. Actually, you want to be one of the many that helped. Would you want to become anonymous again or no? A what? Would you become anonymous again? I was never anonymous. You think I was anonymous? I was known in my neighborhood for helping the locals, but I was never on your television screens or radios. People when they were in trouble, whether their child was kidnapped or fight with the I used to take care of them. Now you people know a little bit more about me and you call me First you call me crazy. Now I'm not crazy anymore, I'm controversial. When I met Mendani, I'm a double-crossing backstabbing capo. But when I made a fun with him, some people liked it. I mean, either I'm human you know, the Shiva world when he needed my help, this guy XT, he called me up for help. Hershey, I'm never going to make fun of you again. Now again he makes fun of me. During COVID, he made an interview with me and when he you know, I donated I gave a lot of money for advertising to Shiva world. Somehow these rich people double-crossed me and the day of the election, he took my money and then he advertised against me. You Shiva world. You're not allowed to advertise Whoever pays you can advertise. What's the problem? >> went and took other people's ads the last day of the election and did bad things about me. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hershey. Hershey. I don't know him so well. He's been very nice to me. You He took me and my wife to lunch 2 weeks ago. >> love you. I spoke to you that went to his house. He did some illegal stuff. And I gave him advice how to fix himself up. I'm not scared to tell you. He took us to the He paid the full bill. He let us order the whole menu. I can't believe it. He gave us a tour. I asked him to see his Hesed organization. There's a lot of people who have Multi-million dollar Wait, let me finish. Multi-million dollar building at the corner of Coney Island. I saw what goes on there. Helps disabled people. Gives out wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, has 250 doctors and nurses and PNs and the RNs and FFNDs. Impossible. I saw what he does. He's an amazing Ish Hesed. So, I'm just I don't know the whole story with you. I would have He has to He has to defend himself. >> have to do nothing. He doesn't have to. He advertised the last day of the election against me for no reason. Wait, did he pay for the last day? Did he pay for the last day? What? Did you pay for the last day? I know that I hired a marketing company for advertising and the last day maybe I did it for the last day. Doesn't make a difference. You have a guy that you advertise No, on this topic I have this fight with Klapisch. No, I didn't I don't know this story. I'm just saying you heard that I I heard that I had your I had your back. I've spoken to him afterwards and I call him idiot and I did ads and I did interviews with Yeshiva World. He feels that to get his stupid website going you need a name something to knock. People knock me all the time from political, from the newspapers, from televisions. I don't know this He might be a fair journal. I think he's a fair journalist. It's okay. I don't care. Let me get your opinion. Me and Klapisch have this argument. If we have let's say a carrot advertiser. You know, Chaim's carrots. >> I don't like carrots. Okay, Chaim's carrots. Can we do potatoes? Chaim's potatoes. Could we advertise on on our show Yankel's potatoes also? Is it a conflict? Yes or no? Yeah. It is. I agree with Heshie. I always tell you to take the money. >> Now, let's say Chaim's potatoes stopped advertising. The next week we get Yankel's advertiser? No problem. The next week I think you have to wait a few months. >> Now, if a guy advertises for the election and the last day he stops, you can't use that same election campaign to go against him. It's still the same or You don't think you could sell ads on both for both for both candidates? I'll make more money, double money. Correct. What's wrong with getting double money? But not write something negative against one of the candidates. I don't know what the rules are. I don't know. I know we have this The rule is is we're not [ __ ] We're Jews. That's why we advertise at stupid Yeshiva World. You act like a Jew. When I treat people but you know, I have clients that masso on each other and sometimes my client gets in trouble wants to masso back. I tell them if you masso, I don't work for you. I know that there's a fight, we'll make a deal. I don't work for Moishe. You think developers will fight their masso in court? Developers, neighbors, 311 found a stick that you know, if you want to get somebody, you just make fake calls and they come cuz they don't have to go for anonymous complaints. And if they come to your house, just for your knowledge to your people, 311 comes call and says we're here for anonymous complaint, don't let them in. Whip out your constitution and quote the fourth amendment. Even if your house is on fire, you don't have to let them in. Simple and plain, they can see nice dude, they can whip out their badge, they can threaten to give you a stop work order, no problem. They're not allowed in under the fourth amendment. Even with your door wide open and when they walk in, now even with a warrant, you can stop them. How How with a warrant? >> Number one, they have to serve the warrant to the police station. If they don't serve it in a timely manner, you can stop them. If they go back to the police station, the date is wrong on the warrant or they come the wrong date, the warrant is ineffective and you could tell the police to kiss your behind. Simple thing, if you have them come, you just call me. Most of the time you can beat any of those stupid civil warrants. A criminal warrant, you have a problem because they come in force and they grab you and there's nothing you could do to stop it. But on a civil warrant, they got to really push their way in and I've stopped them so many times. I have one building that has 1,100 calls on it. I have inspect sometimes as a joke, just for the fun of it, I let them in and I make fun of them as because I don't let them take the elevator. And I say, "You can't take the elevator. You have to walk up." And I make fun of them how fat they are and they can't breathe. >> can tell them they can't use the elevator? Yeah, I'm not letting them use it. You want to come into the building, go walk. No, I'm using the elevators. No, can't use the elevator. Elevator is only for people you have to use the service elevator. One of the guys says to me, "What do you mean I have to use the service entrance?" I said, "You're black. You can't come in through the front door." It was a joke. Hershey, you're out of control. Wait, we forgot about our sponsors. Oh my god. Sorry. >> Pass me over some of that Schmerling Does does does any of them sell sandwiches because I'm hungry? Pass me over some more. I need to show you the variety. Can I have a chocolate? >> Yankee, how long we in? Oh my god. No, no, no, no. Let me get Let me get some of that. I'll get the one with the nuts. The white one with the nuts. What's his name, Schmerling? >> Schmerling. Schmerling. I love you, Schmerling. There are There are no Schmerlings in the world as delicious and creamy as the Schmerling chocolates right out of Europe. Gorgeous gorgeous Switzerland Switzerland Europe You're Switzerland is not in Europe? It is, but Switzerland Switzerland is in Europe. Kollel Yisrael, the best of Schmerling in the world. Oh, gosh. And when you sit by the Seder you eat those chocolates, Chol HaMoed trips, you eat those Schmerling chocolates, the most delicious chocolate in the world. Afikoman gifts mean Schmerling chocolates. Oh, wow. >> Just I can give a Afikoman chocolate instead of like 500 bucks. Yes. And the video game and that stupid other iPhone. Yes. Oh, oh, Uncle Hershey, you want a iPhone. No, I have a Schmerling chocolate. I got to Let me go and show you. Hershey, did you Did you see the new Haggadah? Oh, wow. On the Pesach table, there's no room for anything. >> my 49th Seder by the way. Yeah, yeah. On the Pesach table you have the kaira and the wine and the bechers and the fish and the meat and the chicken and the salt water. Is there room for another 20 and you said 50 people at your Seder? Is there room for 50 Haggadahs? How about the standing one? That only takes up 25% of the standing of the space. And guess what? What? It has beautiful art. It tells you where to drink the wine, where to break the matzah, where to make the haggadah, where to make the mana shtana. >> a question. Do they English, Hebrew. You don't eat carrots. That's why you're having problems with your eyes. That's your fault, Ronnie. I don't know. I He's not really funny. You're the funny one. I want a Smurling chocolate. There's nothing as beautiful as the Kahasha Haggadah. Put in Clappy in Kahasha's website, c l a p p y for a 15% off. Wow. And look at that gift box it comes in. Oh, I'm broke. I could use the 15%. >> me tell you something. Let me tell you something. You don't have to clean for your car for Pesach anymore because my friends at Wheels 2 Lease >> Oh. Saul at Wheels 2 Lease >> Saul, I helped him with his house, too, by the way. Ask him. Where? In the Five Towns? No, no, over here in Brooklyn when he was selling. Ah. Saul at Wheels 2 Lease or my friend Izzy Herman at Wheels 2 Lease. When you call up Wheels 2 Lease >> Yeah. You said to get rid of expediting? Right. Let me tell you something. You've never expedited like Wheels 2 Lease. You call them up. >> Yeah. You have a car in your driveway 2 hours later. >> 2 HOURS? >> 2 HOURS LATER, THERE'S A CAR IN YOUR DRIVEWAY with title, insurance, paperwork, DMV, DMZ, TMZ, whatever you need. >> Don't tell my wife. >> Don't clean the car. $199 you can get a car a month. It's like an overpriced internet bill. And you can get a Pilot for $399 a month, Honda Odyssey's for $400,000 a month. Nobody knows how they do it at Wheels 2 Lease. So, when you need a car, call Wheels 2 Lease. If you don't want to clean your car for Pesach, just get a new car from Wheels 2 Lease. Okay. Back to where we're holding. >> Does it come with gas? Of course, full tank. Hershey, is there any ask you admire and say, "You know, what? This guy's a real community guy." Give us three people you admire in the Jewish community activists that you know you could call or admire their work. Um really nobody, but uh uh I do like Simcha Eichenstein. Uh he I see him every Shabbos and when I have some serious issues with children and health problems, he does help with that. He makes the call or he he talks people into it. Talks people into what? He talks some of these officials to help us with extra insurances or letting babies move around the fire >> I didn't think you'd compliment a politician in your entire life. He's one. The rest are no good. Number two. >> All crooks. I have a teacher for my eighth grade class Who didn't throw you out? who I was tough and when I got to his class I was giving him a hard time. It was in the last in in the in best small and I was going to teach him a lesson. I had my own gang called the ball park boys and we were tough kids and we were not going to listen to him and I remember coming into his class and he saw me right away with my tough jacket and all that. We used to hang out by Amnon's Pizza and he comes right over to me and I figured, "Okay, teach. Ready? Who do you think is going to win? I just have to kick your butt and throw you on the floor." And he says to me, "We're not starting class till you and I play a game of checkers." I didn't know what the hell to say. And we went over there and we played checkers and every day the whole class surrounded us and we had to play a game of checkers. Took like 10 minutes. And he spoke while he did the checkers every day. Finally, I took off my jacket one day and I started learning with him. And it made me a better student. And ninth grade I screwed around a little bit but I really knew my stuff and from the rest of the way through high school I was going to run away a few times to Atlantic City and become a dealer and I didn't run and I got my diploma and I went to college and thanks to him he's a lawyer today. >> What's his name? Mr. Kagan. Very nice man and I still tell people about him. But you want politicians? Of course I love that. >> ask on him? Ask on him. Third. There's so many really if you want to talk about people that inspire me who take care of older people. I mean, just alone in our ball park center you saw popcorn. I mean, he's just he's the head of it. He's just he's he's not asking. He's he's holy. He He loves the people. He gives them hugs. >> Park Center. Yeah, and then you have Mrs. Friedman, the children's lady. For 40 years, she goes from lady to lady, hospital and nursing home. And when they're sitting there never depressed, she comes there and puts a tablecloth on the table with a little candle, fake candle. And gives them the the her own cooked meals packaged professionally. Every time I see her, I melt and I call her sweetheart dollars. She says, "You can't call me cuz you didn't show me dollars." I said, "I can do whatever I want, Mrs. Friedman. You asked I'm an old man." So, I mean, I you you you're getting me off the top of my head. I have a lot of heroes. Like? >> of people that I look up to and that I love. Spit it. Uh I don't know. >> Cuz people look at you as a lone machine and yelling, screaming. To hear that you're a human and you have people who who are good in in the good list. It's very it's it's it's I I think for many people. >> met the Lubavitcher Rebbe? When I was in third grade, uh they took me to uh 770. And uh they were giving everybody dollars. I didn't know what that meant, you know, what Lubavitch. But I did know there was a movie theater that had $2. They needed $2. So, I asked the Rebbe, "Can I have $2?" And they just pushed me away. You didn't get two? I got one. And uh my wife has a few pictures and a few times she got dollars. She was big time into Lubavitch. I don't know why I married her. You know, you people are nuts. And uh so not only did I marry Israeli, half Lubavitch, I'm screwed over across the board, you know? And um you know, when my wife came home the first time, she was wearing a mini skirt. And my mother wait right away in the Hungarian word called her a bad word, you know? One of those words. And you know who took care of my mother the last 7 years of her life? That bad woman. That's right. My mother always used to have a problem with me, called Linda up. But uh Linda's one of my inspirations. >> How'd you meet her? Her mother came up with her, you know, these Jewish mothers. They came up to my office to buy something to our ticket. And by the way, after we sold it to them, uh her mother comes over to me, "We like you. Call my daughter." I said, "Are you crazy? She's a kid. She's 19 years old. I'm 26. I'm not marrying no good little kid." "We like you. Call her." I said, "No." And she left. Next day, Linda calls, "My mother said I have to call you. You have to come pick me up." I said, "Really?" She's, "Please, just take me to the airport." I said, "Okay." I took her to the airport. We had a nice conversation, and she was gone. Two weeks later, she calls me back, "I'll come pick me up." So, that was theoretically our third date. According to the rules, you have to take her home to the mother. >> It was the third. >> But you didn't buy the ticket. Buying the ticket was one. The ticket to the airport was one. >> you didn't meet. Who cares? >> Okay. I had to take her to my mother. >> He makes his own >> with her, and I remember my mother and the whole family when I went to these family weddings, I really have 150 first cousins getting married. Never "You're an old boy. You're never going to marry." One guy told me I'm gay. It was like then the end, wedding to wedding, you had to go to aunt and uncle telling you, "Hershey, I don't understand. You're fat. You're this. You're that." It just didn't end. So, like one time I took Linda home. Her mother's looking up, called her a bad name. I told everybody, "Look what we got."

Three Shimon Bais tips. Number one, uh make sure your wife has a lot of money. That's a joke. Um There's no and don't get angry with me audience. There's no such thing as love. Get it out of your head. Uh of course you're going to have lust in the beginning. She's pretty, she's gorgeous, uh whatever. Figure out there's no such thing as love, but love is somebody that will let you come home every day. You can fight with them. Me and my wife fight every day. Gosh, help me. She makes me miserable. But every night we're in the same bed. Every night we wake up in the morning, we forget what's the day before. So we could be a little angry or you lost the fight or you fight about the children or there's no money, but I want you to know one thing. You come home every night. You can be right, you can be wrong, but the next morning you must forgive each other. Tip number one. Tip number two most importantly, every night you come home, there is no excuses not to come home. Never not to come You must come home. I don't care how angry you are, what you have to do not come home. And finally most importantly is just love her, but not really love her. Love means to to respect her, even though she's nuts and she's crazy and she sucks all your money dry and she has she's a terrible terrible cook and she doesn't even know how to make a laundry correctly. Just tell her okay. Do it. I do the laundry in my house. Help her. Pesach comes, I take care of it. You've got to share the duties. Don't you understand? She's a Jewish mother. She had your children. When they go through a We don't do body changes, you know, even though you have a bunch of politicians that say there are six six different sexes today. You know, you can be a man, a woman, a dog. I'm looking to be a cat. Identify as a cat. I think it's very cool to be a cat. I wear a black suit, black cat. Anyways, clapping is not funny. So, again, they do go through a body change when they become mothers. They do have something that affects them. So, you have to understand this is not something that Of course, they become business women, they're geniuses, they're beautiful, they're bright, but they do change. Their body changes and when your body changes, you have to understand it. Sometimes you get angry, pick yourself up and go for a cigarette, which my wife doesn't let me smoke. I hate her. I She makes me miserable. Why am I with her 37 years? Wow. You know, I Has she Did she ever ask us She said, "Come on, this show is making me miserable." >> Has she Did she ever ask you not to run for another political campaign? No. She lets you run for all the campaigns? >> about Linda is and and again, and I I accept her because she took care of her mother, is we don't interfere with each other's lives. We know we have the same life. We know we have the same kitchen. Too bad I let her in. Terrible. She makes a mess. She has no idea what hot dogs are. She doesn't even know how to cut the hot dog in the middle. And what's that butcher name? CH Butcher? >> CH Butcher. Can I send them there? Maybe she's going to learn something. My mother was the worst cook. Terrible. I'm missing two teeth. >> Don't you think you need to bring in a marriage counselor? >> Oh, no. So, again, she puts up You put up with them. You know, you don't like the way she brushes her teeth, too bad. You know, you don't like the way she goes to the bathroom, close the door. You know, you know, just you are married forever. Like, teach that to my children. You never touch a woman. You get angry, curse, scream, holler, but then it's over, man. I fight with Linda every day, really. We fight about their kids, the politics, the money. She's never stopped me from doing whatever it is, and I've never stopped her, except when she goes shopping at that stupid Macy's and Bloomingdale's. She's crazy paying double the price when I can get half price over here in Borough Park and Flatbush and Crown Heights. But, I'm a loser, you know. She spends all the money. What should I tell you? Actually, what's the most effective way to navigate government and politicians? Uh Three tips. Number one, the second they open their mouth, it's a lie. Everything I swear, really. As they speak to you, know that whatever they said is the opposite. It's a lie. They're never going to help you. They're never going to guide you. >> you get things done? So, again, you got to keep calling. You got to be on top of it. You got to find friends who support them, who call them. You think you're going to call the senator, the councilman, he's going to pick up the phone and do anything for you? The answer is zero, zero, zero. So, people call me to call the assemblyman and councilman because I do them favors. And when their some of their constituents are in trouble, they call me to help them. So, it's all a favorable game. Everybody that's city council, you know that each of our council members, you think are poor. So, you know how much their salary is really, Nebuchadnezzar? 190? 180,000. 190,000. Not a lot of money. They get an additional $30,000 for each committee they sit on. They sit on a minimum of seven committees. Now, you tell me how a man can sit on seven committees, run an 8-hour job. I know I I'm working hard. I don't make that kind of money. You get better. They get $67 a day stipend. If you're a chairman of a committee, you get another $10,000. Now, if you are head of a caucus, which means there are two Jews, so the one of them is the head of the caucus, so he gets 10 tickets to go to Israel and spend money. They get $10 million in discretionary funds. That means they can give it out not to anybody they want, to any charity or a they want that does good. That gives them a good kickback. I don't know what they give them. I'm not allowed to. So, those are the people they reward who give them jobs. >> they can raise money and keep that money for the whole during their No, right. Their money that they raise. So, when they give you your little discretionary fund money, that's why it goes not to you. If you ask them for it, they won't. Your children are stuck in Israel right now. Who do you think people are calling to get their kids home? Us. Your councilman, your assemblyman, your your congressman? None of them. I wish you know what? I will give you, Clappy, $100 and I'll buy seven or how many packages How many hot dogs come in one of those CHBA hot dogs? I think eight. I'll buy you a whole package of hot dogs if you can get through to my assemblyman I don't even care his name, Kalman Yeger, or my councilman Simcha Felder, if you can get through on the phone to them before 30 calls each. Can I I want to ask you a question. >> William, I want to ask you a question. On me, on me. >> People talk People talk All of you, any of you get through on 30 calls or less. Has she People talk about major things, zoning and H8 >> do anything. >> No, no, no, no. I want I want to get the I want to get the question. The regularity that destroys my life and my parents' life and they're getting older to 120 in taxes and deposits and my wife with a bunch of young kids. There's one thing in New York City that is destroying our lives that has to end today, not even tomorrow morning, and that is this alternate side street parking. >> I agree. On my block, a narrow narrow block in Brooklyn, But I gave the solution. >> Wait, Wait, okay. Wait, I gave the solution to that. >> But wait, I'm not finished. They claim, in the name of cleaning the streets, the truck doesn't come 50% of the time and when it does come, the guy's watching Netflix on his screen and zigzagging. I see it blowing garbage from one side of the street to the other side of the street. >> a solution. How do we end alternate side street parking today? I came up with a solution and I wrote a five-point plan to it. There's a special device Right now, when I have workers going out to certain jobs, we have we we we track them. How long you're on the job site, how much we're billing for. Remember, we bill serious money for our times. We have messengers, couriers, FedExes. We all know where our people are. You put a tracker on one of these things. You know one thing. You have to keep track on the day that they're cleaning your sidewalk when the cleaning vehicle comes to your block. That particular few minutes, you have to get in your car and move it. If not, you will get double the fine or towed. Otherwise, you don't have to move your car for more than 10 minutes. Okay? That's number one. Most importantly, just move when the guy comes and if he doesn't come that day, you're going to say, "Actually, it doesn't work." You ever take a city bus today or train? You can track when they're coming. Went to walk outside. You can't track a stupid cleaning truck when he's cleaning your sidewalk for 7 seconds? And this way he gets to clean it quicker. And you don't have to But you used the word cleaning. They don't clean. Those trucks do not clean. When they ride by, they don't get blows garbage from one side to the other. Yeah, these new machines that know how to clean better. And if you invest your money correctly, that's what I'm telling you. >> I heard that's very much union controlled and they don't want to take off days that people could clean the streets cuz the sanitation is a union block vote. So the politicians don't want to mess with this alternate side. Are you familiar with that? Well, correct. And remember, we had a special garbage truck assigned to us in Borough Park to clean only for Yeshiva pickups. You know, the garbage that comes out of Yeshivas is a lot. So we got one truck and we got a million dollars. This is about 7 years ago just to pick up for the Yeshivas. Our councilman got upset with them and said that they had to do something stupid. So they fought with the councilman and said, "Now we want you to use I forgot what it is when you when you recycle." There was the recycling the bottles and stuff and then the new recycling >> Compost. Compost. So they said, "Just because you're acting like an idiot, we want you to do compost." And he said, "We're not going to do it." And we all agreed not to do it. But he was just being mean because he was changing the hours. He was fighting with the with the with for no reason with the with the chief. He's just an incompetent. Heshy, what are you trying to get to? Heshy, what are you trying to get to? They took away his truck from They took away our truck because the sanitation people are so powerful. Now, they have a big Now, we have a problem in my neighborhood, I don't know about yours. We have 4,000 buses that park on the street. That's almost 8,000 or 9,000 parking spots you're taking away from our people at night. Now, you write is about I think what they're telling me now about 1,500 buses park on private Yeshiva back lots and so on. So, still we're losing approximately 4 to 5,000 spots. >> You should make it illegal. We so No. No. No. No. There's a big sanitation lot that is barely used in my neighborhood. I've been trying to take it, but they want to give it away with the train station for to to build a $20 billion or $10 billion uh uh uh uh Brooklyn to Queens. condo center, whatever, and they all these rich Yeshivas are going to get money. No problem. I want to make it into a um municipal lot. Nobody's allowed to park during the day from 12th Avenue all the way till Avenue J. That's it. Simple. All those 10 15 blocks because if you have to drive from 39th Street to 60th Street in the middle of the day takes you 45 minutes. Really. To go eight blocks, to drive across block park it take an hour. And and even when you pick up your mother or kid in the rain, it's terrible. Nobody's allowed to park anymore from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Now, pay attention. Go park in my lot. It's free of parking. There are going to be buses that are running up and down that will take you every 5 minutes up and down. No bends. Wait a minute. At night time all the buses get to park free over there. Now, you're taking off 40 1,500 parks and buses a night. Go park on the street. Now, you're going to say, "Heshy, how do I pick up my mother? I got my lugg- I I shopping. I'm not going to schlepp everything on a bus. Nobody's telling you that. Leave your stuff there or leave your mother there. Since there's no traffic, go fetch your your car, come back and pick her up. >> Hasidic you going to win your next election? >> trucks double park and triple park? Now you can park right there. Let them unload and go. There's no more blocking. >> Unloading, unloading. That's it. Stop parking. Hasidic you going to win your next election or is it going to be your next uh film? >> So, I am pretty professional this time. I have a good campaign manager. I have a good uh people that collecting money. We're collecting our signatures. I have a pretty good team behind me. I think I have the advertising campaign pretty much set. >> to buy some ads on our show? >> advertise. I don't have enough to >> Hasidic you going to buy some ads on our show or Uh do you advert- Yeah, why not? Thank you. I have a good I don't know, at least 8 to 10 to 20 bucks a show. >> you the day of the election, Hasidic The day of the election, we're not going to take money from you and give it to >> Cuz you can call your friend next to you who does all that trip. You know, I was friends with Rabbi Wallerstein. He's a cousin of mine. >> Oh, I saw you. And he just had a grandson that was named after him and his wife is my cousin. I had to give him a man, but I used to fight with him. Because he used to take in little girls and give them a second chance. But you know, young girls sometimes mess up again. We have 80 girls on the street in my neighborhood. I have boys smoking pot. What do you think happens to them? Some of these older people take advantage of them and do things to them and I can't save all of them. Sometimes I try. Rabbi Wallerstein did help me many times, but if they mess up once, he throws them back out. I used to scream at him, "Zakharya, I know you for 40 years. You can't do it." He says, "Hasidic, if I do it for one, I do it for the other." I said, "I know, but they're Jewish girls. I can't put them back on the street. They're getting abused. They're going to parties. They're sleeping with men so they can have a place and shower just to sleep on the weekends. During the week, these men throw them on the street. And these boys are doing the same thing to boys. They're doing it to my boys. So, on the matter of Hasidic Hasidic, you're saying Sometimes you have to give up and I'm getting tired. So, that's why I continue doing what I do is sometimes my reputation, even though I lose elections, is good enough to scare the people, good enough to scare the >> So, let's end off watch >> So, one second. By you, even if you don't win, but by you being a loud voice of reason, you keep the politicians in check. >> know I know who to talk to. They know who I know how to shut up. >> victorious automatically. >> of their secrets. A lot of secrets that go on. So, yeah, that's That's why the government sometimes comes to me and threatens me or calls me or they come to my house. I laugh at them. I remember when the when De Blasio was running, the two cops came to me on Shabbos telling me, "We know you threatened the mayor." I said, "I did not threaten the mayor. I threatened to take a chicken, call it De Blasio, and stick it up my behind." So, then they started when they came up to me, they started asking me questions about other people in the neighborhood. I said, "Get out." I said, "You came here for one thing and now for the other." Hasidic, please end off watch. Watch my show Wednesday night just enough, Hasidic. And after you're tired, Hasidic, come Thursday to Clappy and Frank show. Come to the Clappy and Frank show. Hello, Clappy. You promised me a sandwich. Can I at least get a free chocolate? The only Of course. You know who else he's going to talk about the sandwich the whole show? Daddy. He'll have a show. Daddy used to get up on concerts. He used to talk about sandwiches the whole night. >> a sandwich from CBH chocolate, Daddy, whatever it is. Okay. Just on record, we didn't promise him anything. I know you didn't. But we did compliment how great he looks, how he lost 200 lbs. 150. 150. And we don't want to be the cause for him to beg go back to 200 sandwich. We're not going to start. I'll tell you how I lost the weight, right? Yeah. Needles. No, no, no. I was watching television. It interrupted me. And I saw a Zempic. And it said, "Lose 20 lbs." And I couldn't lose weight for nothing. So, I went to my doctor who has a lot of violations in his building. I said to him, "I want a Zempic." He said, "You can't have a Zempic. You're not diabetic." I said, "Well, I can lose 20 lbs." I said, "Will it hurt me?" He says, "No, but I want it." He says, "You can't get it." I said, "I'll pay for it." He gave me a little 20 pounds. Couldn't believe it. I took it again, I lost more. I was down 150 pounds. >> Oh, you're ahead of the curve. You're always ahead of the curve. >> I was and then people started taking it. >> He put Ozempic on the market.
