Billy & Sara Jessica Parker's AWFUL New York City horse-drawn carriage ride!

Big doings in my hometown of New York City, Mayor Zoran Mamdani and the city council are banning the horse-drawn carriages. Have you been to New York and done the little ride through Central Park? The debate is animal torture versus centuries-old tradition, right? So New York's argument here, the city council's argument, isn't that the animals are being tortured. No, The city's argument is that the horses cannot consent to labor. So we're not going to be able to do this anymore. This is unbelievable. They can't consent. Everything's about consent these days. It's great. Fortunately, as with every labor question, Zoran Mamdani has a solution to the jobs that he just destroyed. The city is going to pay carriage riders not to ride. They're going to pay. Please don't. Here's 20 bucks. Don't get on that horse. Are you kidding me? Now, I've taken one of those, obviously, multiple times as a kid who was raised in New York. But I did an interview with the legendary Sarah Jessica Parker on one. It was during the height of Sex in the City. Again, Access Hollywood. And so I'm like, let's, you know, this would be fun. We get blankets. We're cozied up. She has her cute hat. We're in the back of one of these things. The horse could not stop farting. It was unbelievable. I'm trying to talk to Sarah Jessica Parker, very dignified woman, and as we're going along just whoa all right so tell me about Mr. Big does he oh my god i kept getting hit in the face by this thing poor sarah last act we laughed it off it became part of the bit somewhere that's in an Access Hollywood vault now that the show is canceled and off the air yeah that's her that's with the hair blown back after the horse blew right back. Midterm mayhem, you guys. It's less than three weeks away in California. Pirate Wires is reporting Trump has sent letters to the California state election officials warning them, hey, you sent ballots to non-citizens, okay? Fix it before the House majority gets decided by some landscaper that is here illegally or something that's what that's from Pirate Wires but truth be told that's just you know in fairness here we had that problem before that that needs to be fixed i'm telling you before you know in california there will be not one republican sitting in congress also trump canceled the live stream of the fort hood shooter um and you know he did so reluctantly but whoever had the balls to go in and say, sir, please don't do this. It's not who we are. It's amazing it took this long and it was amazing that was ever something that was going to happen, but it's not happening. Thank God. Election day is around the corner. How much, I ask you this question, how much, if at all, does character matter in your decision making at the ballot box on election day? OK, there's no more stark example right now than the biggest, most expensive half a billion dollar race in Texas for the Senate seat. James Talarico versus Ken Paxton. Texas is where this is a great quote from Robert Draper, who's a longtime political writer in Texas. Texas is where idealistic Democrats go to be mugged by reality. Talarico's up by three points is the question is, is it actually going to happen in the end? he's got a little very small lead but that last minute west texas wind which way does it blow last night on CNN town hall Fort Worth, Talarico said he's a practical guy, a man of faith, he'll stand up to his party if it's in the best interest of Texas, he rejected calls to abolish ICE like some of the lunatics in his party, he said Joe Biden's border policies were bad, good, he acknowledged that. He promises to cap credit card rates, cut taxes for the middle class, and lower prices at the grocery store and assist first-time homebuyers. See, if my daughters lived in Texas, they would vote for Talarico, 100%. I'll be honest with you, if I lived in Texas, because of Ken Paxton's character, I'd either sit it out or I'd vote Talarico because Ken Paxton, as you'll understand, is a deeply problematic guy but you know Talarico winning in Texas overhauls that state's image in one fell swoop, right? That Texas would elect a guy like Paxton calls him weird, a weird radical who believes God is non-binary, that there are more than two biological sexes, which you know Talarico did say at one point, he's walked it right back uh knowing that that's a death sentence to getting elected in Texas uh JD Vance just the other day alluded to Talarico as being gay, which he should not have done um then there's this whole drama that you know the Paxton campaign and um people on social media trying to suggest that James Talarico is so overwhelmed and can't handle it and is so fragile that he had to check into an Ohio mental health clinic for nine days and then just before election day. And of course, Talarico said, no, I've had the flu. They've confirmed it. The receipts are in. He did have the flu. He was home for a week. He was never in an Ohio mental health clinic. And thanks to AI, you got these fake phone calls out on social media, like, you know, people answering at a mental health clinic, you know, confirming he's there. I mean, it's just, it is gross out there. As for Paxton, this guy brings more baggage than J-Lo and Barbra Streisand together. Never lost an election. He's been in politics in Texas for 25 years. As attorney general, he was charged with felony fraud. You're attorney general, you're in charge of the law in Texas. And he got charged with felony fraud. He cut a deal to drop the charges in exchange for paying restitution and community service. Like if he was at Cornell, he'd be writing an essay. His own staff members accused him of bribery and abuse of the office. His wife, Angela, filed for divorce on biblical grounds, she said. When there was a thou shalt not, Ken saw that as a yes, we shall. His impeachment trial revealed his cache of burner phones, shared Uber accounts, secret email addresses for his side piece. The idea that Trump would mobilize MAGA in the first place, mobilize his loyal MAGA base in Texas to endorse Ken Paxton is totally confusing. The guy he defeated, the incumbent, John Cornyn, like I said, would be a total, he would blow Talarico out of the water. They hate each other. Trump says about Paxton, he may not dress right, talk exactly perfectly. He may not be the best looking guy, but he's a good attorney general. That's his endorsement of this guy. He hates him. It's funny. Yes. Jess Bidgood of The New York Times, a writer, says it's never great when the two people most crucial to your political survival say can't say nice. They struggle to say nice things about you. It's worse when one of those people is the president and the other is your estranged wife. That's what Ken's up against. Half a billion dollars spent so far in the race. Democrats leading everywhere, not just in that little race. Still, even though they have embraced, this is how bad it is. This is, where does the buck stop? Democrats have embraced the DSA. I mean, we're going to have another Democrat socialist as mayor here in Los Angeles in Nithya Raman. That's going to happen on November 3rd. Candidates like Mamdani and El-Sayed, you know, who pushed the genocide lie, they're all going to get elected. That's what people are choosing over what we got sir because inflation has outpaced you know wage growth for six straight months while average u.s gas prices have remained at or above four dollars a gallon for 167 days so you know trump is lying at every turn saying it was way worse under biden no it wasn't don jr doesn't even believe you at this point
