October 16th Recently, Mozkov, a former NBA player from Russia, talked about his experience of living in New York on the show.

He said: "Everyone is telling me that I haven't been there for about three years, maybe two or three years ago, and they say there are some changes in the city now. They say Trump has cleaned up the place a bit and changed some things."

"But it's still the case that you walk by one of those places downtown where a condo sells for like $10 million, and right outside, there's a pile of trash, like 10 or 15 bags just sitting there. It's outrageous. I wonder what they were doing back then. How the city was built; they didn't even think about where the trash was going to go or how to get it away. This is absolutely ridiculous. "

"They say it's much cleaner now, but in my opinion, it's always been dirty. When I was in New York, I didn't actually live in the city. I basically live a little further north, so I only go into town occasionally. I mean, there are people who choose to live in the New York City area, but my wife and I, we live in the suburbs just like regular Americans. "
