it's mr new york mark simone on seven 10 w o r hey we got lots to get to this hour we'll get to

joe biden and his visit to new york hey scott shannon will be with us a little later this hour

we'll see what he's up to and uh we'll get to crazy eric ad Adams and we'll get to the Trump town hall,

which really wasn't a town hall in a minute.

Yeah, Joe Biden was here in New York yesterday.

If you were in Manhattan, it was just awful all over the Upper East Side where he was

doing these fundraisers with his zillionaire buddies.

But snarling up traffic

creating massive gridlock for many hours first he went to westchester to valhalla

sunni to make a speech now you're saying why would he go to valhalla what was the President of the United States? Remember, he couldn't go to the coronation. He said he was too busy, too busy. So what's going on? I can't go to the coronation. But he's got time to go to Valhalla to make a little, well, he wanted, the real purpose of the trip was to come to New York to the two different billionaire homes and collect a few

million bucks. But it's a campaign thing. You're not allowed to use Air Force One and all that

stuff if you're just going to fundraise. But if you schedule any kind of presidential business,

you can then use Air Force One, the motorcades, the whole deal. You can then spend

the, whatever it costs, 20 million to come to New York. So you schedule a economic speech to justify

the trip. So that's why you had to go to Valhalla first, make the speech. Then he comes to New York.

First stop was the home of Tony James, former Blackstone

executive, a billionaire who hosted a fundraiser in his New York apartment on Fifth Avenue.

You know, Fifth Avenue and 68th Street or wherever, you know, at 5'6 in the evening,

is a traffic jam to begin with.

You can't close up the whole Upper East Side

just because this guy wants to go to somebody's apartment.

Oh, and it must have been an important event
