By the way, in your broadcast you mention that the rally probably cost a lot, but I thought I would mention the Jim Dolan, the owner of Madison Square Garden, is a huge MAGA/Trump fan/supporter, so I could imagine that he did not charge the Trump campaign anything for having the rally there...

They mentioned on Fox & Friends that the arena only has a few days available because of the sports teams that play there. Those dates and times aren’t negotiable which makes sense. They also kept lying about the supposed “tens of thousands” of MAGA folks who they claimed waited outside MSG for the entire event. The only proof they showed of it was a clip from the morning that actually showed people waiting in line to get in. I know that area extremely well. There’s no spot for tens of thousands of people to wait for anything. Even if they had a screen for people to watch outside there’s no parking lot, there’s no space, this is a densely populated city there’s nowhere for anyone to hang out. Every inch of midtown is covered with buildings. They might have had a couple hundred people but that’s it.

I doubt he would be so generous to give him the full cost for free. Who knows but there’s other costs than just the venue. It just makes no sense to waste that time and energy in a city he’s never going to win. It was political theater. NYC voted 80% for Biden.
