• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is Mark Simon Show on.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Seven to ten. WoT Well, things are shifting in the
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: mayoral race. We'll get to that. We'll get to the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: President's trip. He meets with President She tonight late tonight.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the shutdown. We'll get to the World Series.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We'll get to twenty twenty eight. We'll get to the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: ballroom and a whole lot more coming up. There's people
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that watch this stuff carefully are seeing a shift in
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the mayoral race. More people are moving towards Cuomo. Curtis
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: who we love. He'd be He's the best candidate of
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the bunch, he'd be the best mayor of the bunch.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But there are voters shifting from him to Cuomo, despite
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the fact that they hate Cuomo. They were horrified by
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Cuomo's performance in office as governor, but they're just so
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: terrified of him Donnie City Hall, that they're more and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: more people are shifting to Cuomo. So we don't know
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: if it's too little, too late. He's still way behind
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: in all the polling, but but there is a shift,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and there is some data showing the race really tightening.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: The big big donors are always the worst in any campaign.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Because at first they always back the wrong guy. They're
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: never great at helping. They do more damage than good,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: these big, big money donors. But one of the problems
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: is to get mom Donnie out of this, to take
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: him out of competition. This had to start about a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: month and a half ago. As John McLaughlin, the Great Polster,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: explained to us, you gotta drive his negatives up. You
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: got to get his negatives up into the fifties. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the way you do that is massive negative ads against him.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Bombard everybody with these ads showing you things he said
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in the past, all that stuff. Well, that's where the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: big donors have to spend the money. The big super
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: PACs have to run those ads. Well, they didn't this time.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Where have they been This is one of the few
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: campaigns where they haven't been there. You haven't seen those
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: kind of negative ads. It's because the big donors were
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: terrified of Mamdanie winning and then not being able to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: have any kind of relationship with him because you can
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: always tell who donated the money, So out of fear,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: they didn't do it. Now it looks like they may
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: start doing it. It's a little late. About thirty five
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: percent of the vote is already in because of that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: early voting, so it's a little late, but they're going
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to start running some negative stuff. You got this weekend
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to do it, and then early voting stops. I think Monday.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I think there's no early voting the day before the election.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But then Tuesday's election day. You'll probably get half the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: votes on Tuesday. So, but Cuomo has been picking up
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a little steam and he's been picking up endorsements. David
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Patterson endorsed him, But then David Patterson has endorsed everybody
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: in the race. He's endorsed Adams. If Curtiss is saying,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: don't endorse me, it's the kiss of death. Eric Adams
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: is endorsed Cuoma. They were campaigning together.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Here they are yesterday, here Adams, Governor Patterson, myself.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: We are Democrats.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: We've always been Democrats, we will always be Democrats, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: we believe in the democratic values.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Now, the only problem is that he keeps, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: making that point, I'm the real I'm the actual Democrat. Well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he was in the Democratic primary and Democrats rejected him.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Democrats voted against him. He's running now on a third party.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: He's not the Democratic nominee, but Adams appeared with him yesterday.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: We don't need a socialist masquer rating as a democrat.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: No one's going to get a free ride, no matter
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: what some people are promising. But there is a great
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: opportunity for this city if we elect this gentleman right
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: now next Tuesday.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Now that's the Adams and David Patterson together. So here's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the problem. Everybody hates Cuomo. They thought he was he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a nice guy in real life, but they just thought
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he was the worst governor. He caused the crime wave,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the no bail, no jail, the closing the prisons, letting
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: all the prisoners out, the taking away the qualified immunity
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: from cops was a horrible thing to do. Cops could
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: get sued if they went near anybody, so they had
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to be very restrained. I mean, he did so many things.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: He totally mismanaged the pandemic. He tried to ban the vaccine.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: At one point he blocked Ice and threatened to sue him.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: He closed Indian Point that drove up that was twenty
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: five percent of our power, drove up our electric costs.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: He picked Kathy Hockle. He's the reason we're stuck with
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Kathy Ogle. He gave us the congestion pricing. He's the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: one that pushed that through. So he was just terrible
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: as governor. But many just think Madamie could actually be worse. Obviously,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they're worried most about public safety. But remember it was
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Cuomo that gave us the no bail no jail. That
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: one move single handedly caused the crime wave. He's the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: one that pushed it like crazy. But people just think
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: could be safer with him than Mom Donnie. He's probably
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: probably correct, but even here's Michael Goodwin today, the great
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: columnists in the New York Post, and he writes, if
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: anyone had dared to tell me I would actually vote
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: for Andrew Cuomo again, I would have shot back. Never.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I was thoroughly disgusted with the former governor, applauded his
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: forced exit from Albany, and saw no evidence he was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: doing anything to make himself fit to hold public office again.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: In the three plus years since his resignation, he's continued
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to play defense attack as critics, including me Goodwin, but
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: had done nothing to demonstrate he learned anything or accepted
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: any responsibility for his historic collapse. There were no apologies
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: for the heartless nursing home tobaccle. He caused there was
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: no remorse that he was guilty of sexually harassing thirteen
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: women accused of harassing them. He never said so directly,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: but he seemed to believe if he got back into
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: politics enough, voters enamored with the Cuomo name would give
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: him a second chance ants, even if he didn't show
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: them why he deserved it. Well, that was the problem.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: In the primary. He thought just the Cuomo name, the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: name recognition, whatever, it would help him. But he got
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: wiped out in both debates in the primary. He got
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: wiped out in the popular vote in the primary. But
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Goodwin says, as horrible as he thinks Cuomo is, he'll
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: vote for him just to stop mom Donnie. So you're
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: getting more and more of that. By the way, every
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: piece of polling these are all kind of junk polls,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a dozen of them that are out there, but every
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: single one shows that Curtis got out of the race,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Cuomo still would be behind, So it's not about Curtis.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And the most detailed polling shows if Curtis left, thirty
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: six percent of his vote would go to Cuomo, giving
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Cuomo an extra four percent, so if he spot behind
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: ten percent, then he'd be behind six percent. Still not
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: enough to win. The idea that if Curtis dropped out,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: all those votes would go to Cuomo is crazy. It's
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: like saying if the Yankees lose in the playoffs and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: don't make the World Series, all the Yankee fans will
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: then go with the Red Sox. It doesn't work that way.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: May be some of them just because they like the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: American League, would cheer for the Red Sox, but most
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of the Yankee fans would not suddenly go to the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Red Sox. Same thing with Curtis. Curtis is not getting
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: out of the race, no reason why he should. If
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Cuomo wants to win this, he's got to win those votes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: You can't just force Sliwa out. Cuomo has to legitimately
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: try to win those voters away. Well, it looks like
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: there is some movement like that. He is picking up
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a little steam. We'll see if he can do it
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: enough to close the gap. The race is tighter than
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the people think. Mamdani is on course to win. Now, Well,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: here's what's interesting. If you try to argue with people
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: about policies that he supports, In the polling, the majority
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of residents don't agree with his policies. This is the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: fascinating part. They just like him. The poll found that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers favor harsher penalties for fair evasion. They're not
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: looking for free bus fare. They don't like the bail
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: reform law. Sixty eight percent don't want the free buses.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They thought it would turn them into homeless shelters. He
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: can go on and on. They're not in favor of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: his crime policies, but despite all that, they were still
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: for him. Now, Mam, Donnie's got all these horrible comments
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: in the past, you know, they keep coming up. He said,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the NYPD had their boots on your neck. Is let
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: me say, I think I have it here somewhere. Maybe
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: maybe this is it. This is from a few years ago.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: We have to make clear when.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: It's idees. Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: So he said, when the NYPD boot is on your neck,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: it's been laced by the IDF. So that's real, mom, Donnie.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: There he takes a terrible shot of the police and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: puts in some anti Semitic, anti Israel nonsense into the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: same sentence. So that's what you're dealing with. Uh, here's Curtis, but.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: He just shows that hate that he has vote for
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: the idea and the hate that he has for the NYPD.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so all of this is just horrible. But again
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: we are seeing a shift of voters who don't like Cuomo.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: They hate Clomo, they thought he was a terrible governor.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But there is some movement, some shift over to voting
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: for Cuomo. We'll see if it's enough. A lot of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: people are really upset with Kathy Hokele. Now, if Mom
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Donnie were to win and be a terrible mayor, that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: would be the end of Kathy Hokeel. Anybody running against
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: her would just run the clips of her supporting Mom
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Donnie and stickiness with this stuff. She could actually remove
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: him as mayor, which she won't have the nerve to do.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So that's another reason she'll get voted out of office.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: She just panders to him in his socialist crowd. She
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: was at she appeared at the Mom Donnie rally, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: again she'll never be able to explain that away. What
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: were you doing at a Mom Donnie rally? Speaking on
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: his behalf, holding hands with him at the rally? She
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: got booed there. By the way, even the far left
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: hates her. She was booed. She said, she's not the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: brightest woman in the world. They were booing her like crazy,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and she said, I thought they were saying, let's go bills. Now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: if you're going to think of an excuse, that's why
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: would this was in Forest Hill stadiums. Why would people
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: in New York City not say let's go giants jets.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody in New York City cares about the bills. So
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: just looked awful for her. Now, what if Mom Donnie win?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Is there any way to stop him? If he wins? Yes,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: if they found out he took foreign money, knowingly took
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: foreign money into his campaign, they can remove him from
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: being mayor. That would be the end of it. Now,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: there are several groups that have been working on this,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: this one called the Coolidge Reagan Foundation. They have now
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: filed two criminal referrals with the Justice Department. They've uncovered
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: thirteen thousand and foreign money from one hundred and seventy
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: donors that went to Mom Donnie. No, it's not quite
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that simple. You've got to prove that he knew about it,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: but it's enough to file a criminal referral, have a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: criminal investigation there's another one hundred and seventy incidents that's
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: not isolated. That's a lot of incidents. The mam Donnie
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: campaigns ad thirty one of the one hundred and seventy
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: one donors proved their citizenship. Well, he's still got one
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty left that didn't. The criminal referral is
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: with the Assistant Attorney General right now, so he'll be
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: looking at that. Fox News Digital did an investigation. They
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: uncovered thirteen thousand from donors with foreign addresses, including one
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: five hundred dollars donation from his mother in law in Dubai,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: not an American citizen. Mam Donnie says he returned the contribution,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but as of October fourteenth, filing still show ninety one
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: foreign donations had been refunded. But that leaves that leaves
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: about sixty of them still out there, so it's possible
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: they could take them out with that. Also, any victory
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: of Mandami's would he'd be a terrible mayor. It would
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: just kill the Democrats right now. Democratic brand is in
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: real trouble. If he went back to ten years ago
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and took a real poll, not a serious poll, fifty
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: percent of voters view the Democratic Party is out of touch.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Half okay, that makes sense, but it's now up to
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: seventy percent. The majority of the country thinks the Democratic
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Party is totally completely out of touch. So we'll see
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: what happens as the early voting continues. Now, if we
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: get about a million votes, a million one, a million two,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: which is low twenty thirty percent turnout, it looks like
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: it could head to two million. You could get sixty
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: percent seventy percent turnout. The voting gets to two million,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that probably could give you a Cuomo victory. Probably it
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: has to get to about two million, but it looks
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like it could be headed there. So there's all these endorsements. Now,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin says he hates Cuomo as much as it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: but he's going to vote for him. Here you got
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a woman who this kind of went viral online. She says,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Cuomo murdered my husband. I think she's referring to the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: nursing homes. Cuomo murdered my husband, But I'm still going
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to vote for him. So you're getting a lot of that.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So there is a shift going on right now. Now
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey, it's very very very tight. Nobody can
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: tell what's going to happen. Now, these endorsements don't mean
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: much of anything. You know, when Cuomo announces, oh, the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Electricians Union endorsed me. They're nice people, but I don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: think anybody when they want to know who to vote for,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: asks they're Electrician. It doesn't mean anything. Even the big
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: name the newspaper endorsements generally mean nothing to Rally's trying
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: to get endorsements. He's got a Trump. Trump's not going
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to come to New Jersey, but it's gonna be some
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: sort of video endorsement. Mikey Cheryl brought in Obama to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: give an endorsement. Here's the latest Chittarelli endorsement. Kelsey Grammar, Hi,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Kelsey Grammar. Here, you already know that I'm from New Jersey. No,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: wait to stop it. Did you know he's from New Jersey?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I never know he's from New Jersey. Is there anything
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: about him that suggests he's from New Jersey?
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: No, why I'm talking to you right now. There's a
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: lot of famous folks who grew up in Jersey. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: some of them seem content to let you guys go
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: on living on a prayer. Others have just forgotten that
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: you were born in the USA too. But once Jack wins,
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: and I think he's got a good chance of winning,
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: it's gonna make it a lot easier to just shake
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: it off.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's not a very good not a
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: good commercial. I don't know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: It's like just picture him and Niles in the in
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the little cafe, they're talking. No, no, not a powerful endorsement. Anyway,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. We'll get back to the mayor
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: all race. We'll get back to that. The President is
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: continuing the trip. You'll read that he's going to meet
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: with President She Thursday morning, but with the massive time difference,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning is late tonight, so it'll be late tonight
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: that he meets with She. So far, it's been a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: very very successful trip. Lots of agreements, lots of deals
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: have been signed, great for the United States, and so
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: they call deliverables. He's gotten a lot of different deliverables
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: on this trip. We'll get to the shutdown coming up.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer says, this is outrageous. It's outrageous, this is horrifying.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Forty two million people on foodstamps might not get their benefits,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but most people on to hear this. Go wait a minute,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: forty two million people are on food stamps. Why weren't
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: you outraged about that? You should have been screaming for
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: years that forty two million people are on food stamps.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: That's not right. Somebody that did just a sign of
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: his failed leadership. Anyway, we'll get back to all of
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: this coming up. We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten. Is the number
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mark Simone Show.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Long Island. Mike, how you doing?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark, good morning, Good morning, Mark.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: I got a question to you.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: In this city, we probably have fifty percent.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: I don't know what the numbers are of voters that
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: are completely uneducated. Don't follow what city you're talking about,
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: New York City.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Well you're not in New York City.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: Okay, but it's even though the.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Rest we wait, you can't, you're just making up statistics
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: fifty percent or not on? He can't just make up
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: don't you can't just make up stuff like that. Let's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: go to Jerry in New Jersey. Jerry, how you doing good?
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: Mark?
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: How are you?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Let me check you're good. They don't really care. They
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: just say how you're doing, but they don't like the answer. Yes,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: go ahead, Yeah, let's go ahead.
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: You believe that Andrew Clomo really wants to be mayor
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: after being CEO. I think they're dusting him off to
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: see if he can run against AOC and take Schumor's
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: seat in the Senate.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, No, obviously when your governor,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: mayor is a big step down. Although it's more fun
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: to be mayor. Actually, nobody wants to go to Albany mayor.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You're in city Hall, you liveing in Gracie mansion. It's
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: nicer than the governor's mansion, better located. But you're right,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: you're right. He's plotting his whole life. He's been plotting
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to be president.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: Did you see him with Stephonicus governor after she said
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: you'll never serve again.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. Yeah, that's the problem with Coloma.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: You don't you never know what he's really up to.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But the argument is, Mom, Donnie is so horrible, so horrible,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: you'd vote for him. It's say, this is like the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: worst mess New York has ever gotten into. And you
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Democrats got us into this with your primary there without
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: anybody you'd want to vote for. It was Mom, Donnie
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and then the lowest worst people in the world, the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: brad Lander types and the worst people have you ever seen?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: In the primary in Cuomo couldn't even beat them. He
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: got wiped out in his own primary. But we'll see.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: We got six days left until the election. Let's go
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing, Hey?
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: Thanks?
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: Mark.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: A couple of things. Any connection the fact that us
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: AID got defunded.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: Now the Democrats are broke and they're all screaming at
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: they will need money. That's pretty coincidental.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Up, Yeah, that could be that us AID was basically
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: just a slush fund. It was to bribe people all
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: over the place, and a lot of Democrats profited off.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: If this shutdown is not going well for Democrats Republicans,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: their messaging is very good on this. The problem is
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Trump controls the White House, so he makes the shutdown
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: is not painful. Remember when Obama was president and he
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: did the shutdown, he tried to make it deliberately as
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: painful as possibly closed everything, even though he didn't have to.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: They closed monuments World War Two monuments that didn't require
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: any staffing. There was no reason to close him. He
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: just wanted to make it look painful, so he had
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: them closed and the yellow police tape was put all
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: around him and they were closed up just so. Eeverywhere
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it looked was a symbol of closure, even though there
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: was no reason to close those things. Let's go to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: David and Passaic. David, how you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Doing, good morning.
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: I want to reminisce what will happened on the Montdani
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: In the late seventies. Property valleys went down, taxes went up,
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: There was a lot of fires in the South. Bronx
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: had gangs, even have Gerald Ford told New York City
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: dropped dead, remember that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was more mid seventies. That was under a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: beam and.
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: A beam right in. The Financial Review Board took over
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: and the city was bankrupt. Garbage was all over the streets.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no way. Which party was that? Oh yeah it
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: was Democrats there. Once again they don't do good at
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: running the cities.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: You know who got to start the court sleeve in
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: the subways. That's when he started the angels.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Angels.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, back then there was quite a year. There's a
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: big mini series about nineteen seventy seven. It was an
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: incredible year. You're right. It was fires and crime, and
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it was the sun of sam summer, and it was
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the Yankees and Reggie. It was quite that. It's somewhere online.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: You can find that nineteen seventy seven. It's a documentary series.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But it is fascinating to watch. Go back and watch
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: it if you can. I guess how bad could mom
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Downy be? Probably? Well, remember we went through this with
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the Blasio who was it didn't declare himself as socialist,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: but he was pretty much a socialist. Anyway, let's take
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: some calls. Let's go to line too. You're on the air.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: How you doing? Oh good?
• 21:02
  Speaker 12: It's rub from anybody who believes that nine to eleven
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: was about Islamophobia should never be Mayor of New York.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like he's like the Muslim house Sharpton. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: guess you know, Sharpton always plays the race card even
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: when it doesn't apply, and he's playing that Islamophobia card
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: when it doesn't apply. There's not this has never been
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: a problem in New York City. New York City is
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: a Muslim city. It's eleven percent Muslim. The Jewish population
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: is only eleven percent. You get the same number with
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Muslims eleven percent. And if you talk to the NYPD
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and look over all the data, there's not an a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: tax on Muslims. It's not happening. Attacks on Jews, yes, yes,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: in great numbers. Anti Semitic attacks by the thousands for
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years. You've seen them all over
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the news. And if you look through NYPD data, it's
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: tons of anti Semitic attacks, anti Muslim attacks. You will
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: not find any in the city. It really doesn't happen. Obviously,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: it was something people thought about right after nine to eleven,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: but it didn't result in much of anything. Hey, when
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: we come back, Roger Friedman, the Great entertainment reporter, he'll
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: be with us. Next we'll get back to the mayoral race. Hey,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to Bruce Blakeman later. He's got a lot
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: to say about mom Donnie. He's also the guy you
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: should vote for Nassau County best county Executive in America.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: But all of that's coming up on seven to ten.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Woor The Mark Simon Show.
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: On sevent ten, woor.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Well Roger Friedman is the great entertainment reporter. He has
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a website you should check every day. There's always news stories,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: showbiz for one one dot com, showbizfo one one dot com.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Roger Friedman, how you doing.
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: I'm really doing great because once mom Donnie is mayor
• 22:50
  Speaker 13: all tickets to Broadway shows will be free and all
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: the restaurants around them we'll be serving free.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Food and empty at the same time. But hey, yeah,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: speaking of Broadway, everything is settled, right They had all
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: these strike threats, that's all settled now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: All the strikes have been settled, which was very smart
• 23:07
  Speaker 13: because it's a turkey time on Broadway. The last thing
• 23:11
  Speaker 13: anyone needed was a strike. And things are back to
• 23:14
  Speaker 13: normal and Broadway is booming right now. Actually, you know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 13: Hamilton is doing incredible business. The last week get to
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: three point four million dollars, which is insane, and it's
• 23:29
  Speaker 13: been doing that right along since they brought back their
• 23:33
  Speaker 13: Tony winning star Leslie Odam Jr.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: For a run.
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: That's I guess going through the winter January maybe, and
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: people will pay anything to get into the show. They're
• 23:45
  Speaker 13: premium tickets for fifteen hundred dollars and they're all sold out.
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: People will pay absolutely anything to get in there. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: other shows are doing great. There's a new show called
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: Queen of Versailles with Kristin Chenowith that's also doing great business.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: What is Queen ever size about that woman with the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: House in Florida?
• 24:06
  Speaker 13: Yes, it's about the woman with the house in Florida.
• 24:10
  Speaker 13: And yeah, and f Murray Abraham's and I think he
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: plays her husband. And the songs are really good and
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: that's gonna be a big hit.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: So yeah, yeah, yeah, we have a lot. And Chess
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: is coming. Did you ever see Chess the first time around?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Andrew Weber?
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: No?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, one night in Bangkok.
• 24:31
  Speaker 13: It's a very popular show. And you know, the book
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: was never good. The songs were great, but the book's
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: book was never good. So they got this great guy,
• 24:38
  Speaker 13: Danny Strong, to rewrite the whole show. And now that
• 24:41
  Speaker 13: show is selling out in previews like crazy, I mean
• 24:44
  Speaker 13: totally sold out. So we have a Broadway is booming.
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: And I just put up a story on Showbiz for
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: one one that Daniel Radcliffe is coming from Harry Potter,
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: who already has a Tony Award for Merrily We Roll Along,
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: and he's going to be in a one man show
• 25:03
  Speaker 13: this winter that's being imported from England. But that's supposed
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: to be terrific. And as long as they don't charge
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: seven hundred dollars a ticket, I think they'll be Okay.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's good news. I'm glad Broadway's doing so well. Hey,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I welcome by a Rockefeller Center on Radio City's marquee
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: right above it. It was the first Christmas tree I
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: saw this year. That Christmas tree above the Marquee is
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: up already. It's a little early.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Oh is it really it's there already.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a great story.
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: About I'm an editor they brought into the New Yorker
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: from England, which was like are in nineteen ninety and
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: they bring this guy in and he's an older guy
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: and he's never been to New York before, and somehow
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: he got a job working as an editor of New Yorker.
• 25:46
  Speaker 13: And he comes back after lunch and he says to
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: the people in the office, oh my god, we have
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: to do this story. There's a big tree going up
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: in Rockefeller Center.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Well, and everyone was like, uh huh.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Christmas though, this is the we're a little early,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: but pretty soon that Christmas music will start everywhere, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: then you wrote about Mariah Carey. But yes, it's the
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: only time of the year. A lot of people who
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: don't know who these people are start to hear Andy
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Williams and Nat King Cole and all that stuff. So
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: it's a great Also, you know, I'm thinking of Brenda Lee.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Brenda Lee, Brenda Lee.
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: Sometimes her song goes all the way up to number
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: one during Christmas time. She's about ninety and they you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: they go and they wake her up and they tell
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: her what's going on, and she shocked.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Well, Mariah Carrey had.
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: An album out a few weeks ago that nobody bought,
• 26:47
  Speaker 13: which was a pretty good album. It was very well
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: sung and had nice songs, but nobody wanted to hear it,
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: you know.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Bad marketing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: Also that Mariah doesn't really get out and push stuff.
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: She expects you to come to her. But she loves
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: the Christmas season and she has the best selling Christmas
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: song of all time. That's all I really want for
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: Christmas is You or whatever it's called. Sounds like a
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: Phil Spector song and it's sold about a billion copies.
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: And every year around this time she starts putting little
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: messages on social media. Not yet, not yet, We're not
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: ready yet. And then she goes out and she has
• 27:26
  Speaker 13: her big Christmas season. It lasts about six weeks, so
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: we're about to see Mariah's Christmas season.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And that's how we know.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Roger Freeman, too many documentaries. It's enough with these documentaries.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: It's the cheapest thing to do. It's cheaper than making
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: an actual movie.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: No, documentaries are fabulous. I'll tell you why.
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: Documentaries are more important than ever. No, they're more important
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: than ever. And I'll tell you why. The reason is
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: as funding gets cut for PBS and National Public radio,
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: where we get a lot of information, and as the
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: networks like CBS today is laying off a thousand people,
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: as the networks are contracting and not doing so much
• 28:08
  Speaker 13: documentary work or newswork. Independent documentaries are really a huge
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: source of information for us, and we're getting to find
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: out things from around the world that we wouldn't know.
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: Critics Choice Association, which I'm part of, has a big
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: awards ceremony on November ninth over at the Ballroom on
• 28:31
  Speaker 13: forty seventh Street, and that's a very important thing. The
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: Gotham Awards just announced their awards coming up, nominations coming up,
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: and they have five terrific documentaries and then we'll have
• 28:45
  Speaker 13: the Oscars.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: I feel that you cannot have enough documentaries to illuminate
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: subjects around the world that we would not have.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Actual Most of them are about you know, there's a
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: new one Stiller and Mara. Now I love Stiller and Mara.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I know it's great. Watched it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I knew Stiller and Marra. Yeah, what's like happened dozing
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: off halfway through? What am I watch?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Oh? No, I watched. I loved it. I loved them.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I knew them too.
• 29:09
  Speaker 13: We were very lucky to live in New York and
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: know them. And although I never had Blue Nune Wine,
• 29:18
  Speaker 13: Ben Stiller, their son has done a great job documenting
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: their career and it's on Apple TV. I recommend it
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: for it's so enjoyable to see them again.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: All right, maybe just see I'd rather go to YouTube
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and just watch Stiller in Marra and he Ed Sullivan
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: show on The Tonight Show or watch.
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: But you wouldn't, but we would because we're one hundred
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: and fifteen years old. But for younger people who are
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: Ben Stiller fans, let's say, and they don't know anything
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: about Stilar Mirror. They're learning about his parents for the
• 29:45
  Speaker 13: first time through this documentary. Then they're going to go
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: to YouTube and look at the clips, but they don't
• 29:50
  Speaker 13: know offhand that they should be doing that.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Do you see what I mean?
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, this.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Is giving them entry away to that to Stiller Mirror.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: So I think that's terrific.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: But there's another documentary coming or is it a biopic
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: CCR Creeden's Clearwater Revival.
• 30:05
  Speaker 13: Oh well, Creeden's you know, Queen's Clearwater Revival is huge.
• 30:09
  Speaker 13: It's so weird that, you know, fifty sixty years after
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: they had hits, they're bigger than Effort. You know that
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: their greatest hits winds up in the top twenty every
• 30:20
  Speaker 13: week on iTunes. Wow, no one knows what, No one
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: knows why. But the songs are great. You know, if
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: they'll stop the Rain? Have you ever seen the Rain?
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: Proud Mary? All these songs and they're being played on
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: the radio constantly.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: So now you know. This Bruce Springsteen movie is out
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: called Deliver.
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: Me from Nowhere, and the people who made it really
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: want to make a movie about John Fogerty and Creeden's
• 30:45
  Speaker 13: because you know, the great story, the crazy story about
• 30:48
  Speaker 13: them is that in the seventies, John Fogerty lost the
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: rights to all his songs and it took him like
• 30:54
  Speaker 13: twenty years to get them back, and in the meantime
• 30:58
  Speaker 13: he just sort of had to disavow them and go
• 31:00
  Speaker 13: on and play other songs. He would have been charged

  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll get to Long Island this hour. Bruce
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Blake Wan will be with us. The best county executive
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: in America. He's up for reelection. Make sure you vote
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: for him. You know, you only got six days till
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the election. Early voting is going on right now. Looks
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: like extremely heavy turnout in New York City that's believed
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to favor Andrew Cuomo. Curtis as well, But there has
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: been a shift. There is some movement people that weren't
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: going to vote for Cuomo now voting for him. So
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: he's picking up steam. I don't know. It could be
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: way too little, too late. You got six days until
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the election. You got I think five more days of
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: early voting and then you'll get a lot of voting
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: on election day. A lot of people still wait till
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: election day to do it, and it's all kinds of
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: traditionalists that do that. But how did we get in
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: this mess? Well, you can blame Andrew Cuomo pretty much.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Primary is what caused this mess. Cuomo was
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be in that You know, when you
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: leave office in disgrace, you quit in disgrace. You're not
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: supposed to come back that fast. You're really not supposed
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: to come back at all. But he jumped in there
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and it was enough to scare Eric Adams out of
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the primary. And who knows. Adams might have done much
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: better against mom Donnie, but it was a primary of
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: crazy Democrats, Brad Lander, those type of guys, and Cuomo
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: was just a disaster in both debates. In the primary,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: he was horrible, got beaten to a pulp by Mamdanni
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and he didn't do well. It was just a terrible campaign.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: He didn't do a lot of rat didn't do anything,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: no rallies, no event, there was not much of it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: There was no energy to his campaign. So he lost.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: He was totally rejected by Democratic voters. Mom Donnie won
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the primary in a huge amount of votes, and that's
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: how he got stuck with him. And once you get
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: on that Democratic now nomination, once you're a Democratic nominee,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: there are so many people that just can't help it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: It's just a knee jerk. They just pull the Democratic lever.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So that's the problem, and the Democratic registration in New
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: York is like five to one over the Republicans. Now
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Cuomo then jumps in on a third party. But remember
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: he's not a major party candidate. He's a third party candidate.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: In fact, when you go to vote, you got to
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: hunt for his name. Top of the ballot is Mom Donnie,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: next is Curtis, and then you got to go down
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: eight spaces to get eight. Cuomo has eight names down
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: on that ballot, so it's not easy to find. But
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: how did the Democrats let this happen? You got Chuck Schumer,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you got these old traditional Democrats jillibrand even that, you
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: know that crazy Kathy Hokeel. Why didn't they say anything,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the elders of the party, Why didn't they do something
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: about this crazy socialism. Well, in the case of Schumer, Hoko,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: they're terrified, they're just frightened. They're not leaders. They're terrified.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: They're paniced. They're afraid of him, they're afraid of get primaried.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: But what about the guys that well, you know, this
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: is not just a little fringe of the Democratic Party,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: it's all through the Democratic Party. The leadership is now
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: AOC Bernie Sanders. They're not tolerating Mom Donnie. They love
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. Listen to Bernie.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Let be cut to the chase.
• 36:20
  Speaker 15: The billionaires have already spent nineteen million dollars to Troy
• 36:25
  Speaker 15: to defeat Zaron Mamdani for Mayor of New York in
• 36:30
  Speaker 15: this last week. They're going to spend a hell of
• 36:33
  Speaker 15: a lot more. Our job is to do everything that
• 36:37
  Speaker 15: we can to bring out the vote.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: You see, that's what they're tapping into. A lot of
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: this is about the billionaires, the billionaires.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Let be cut to the chase.
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: The billionaires have.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Already billionaires, the damn billionaires, those billionaires. You know you're
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: supposed to live in fear of these billionaires. First of all,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: a Mom Donnie was financed by a lot of billionaires.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: There were a lot of Soros types that financed Mom
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Donnie and finance all this Bernie nonsense. It's billionaires, fine it,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: but it sounds good. You remember when Biden took office,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: kept telling you about the white supremacist. The biggest threat
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: in America is white supremacists. Well, there aren't any white supremacist.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: There's a couple in a federal prison somewhere, and there's
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: a few in the Appalachian Mountains. But I remember the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: police Commissioner Dermot cheat Is on good day in New
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: York and if Biden was going on and on about
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: the threat from white supremacists, and Rosanna scotisists to him,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: how serious is the threat from white supremacists in New
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: York City? And he was very thoughtful, he said, you know,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I don't really have let me give you an answer tomorrow.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Let me check on this research this And the next
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: day she read what he sent to her. He said,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I've checked everything. Our department has never encountered a white supremacist.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't it wasn't a thing, right, But it's
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: the same thing the billionaires, these billionaires. Now, what is
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: it these billionaires are doing to us? Well, they're paying
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: most of our taxes for us. You know, here in
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: New York, the billionaires pay forty eight percent of the tax.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: The top one percent pays forty eight percent of the
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: tax here in New York. And they do create a
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: lot of jobs, you know, you see these billionaires. Look
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: at they open that JP Morgan Chase brand new building
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: on Park Avenue. Well it says there'll be ten thousand
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: people working there. So it's one building ten thousand jobs.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: And you know, some of these billionaires they create companies
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: like Amazon, Federal Express, Fred Smith, great guy, he created
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: the Federal Express. That's eight hundred thousand job. See, you
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: kind of need these billionaires. But you're supposed to live
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: in fear of them the way he talks. They're billionaires,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: those billionaires. Now, be honest. You ever walk down the
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: street and you say, oh, watch out, there's a billionaire. Oh,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: you're really supposed to be afraid of them. You cross
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the street, Oh, let's go this way. There's billionaires over
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: there that they're really not going to hurt you, these billionaires.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: But that's what Mamdannie taps into. Even though he's funded
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: by billionaires. You're not supposed to notice that. But it's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: just crazy.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Then he promises this free stuff, you know whatever, they
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: promised this stuff, free buses, free rent, free apartments, free food,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: free grocery stores, free. It's the billionaires that pay for it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: If you get rid of them, nobody's gonna pay for this.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: By the way, with the free buses. I've been telling
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: you this all along, But the MTA chairman, that weasel,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Jano Lieber, finally came out and said there's no such
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: thing as free buses. The mayor has no power over
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: the MTA, no control of the MTA, and he said,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: forget the free buses. It's an absolutely ridiculous thing. But
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: this may all race has It's not just here in
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: New York. You know, the whole country is focused on this.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: You're the big national shows. You know, you listen to
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: the Sean Hannity radio show. That's seventeen million people around
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the country. They're all talking about it. I was on
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Cuddlow yesterday. It's the number one show in business television,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: national show. But we could talk about the mayor ole
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: race in great detail, and everybody around the country knows
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: all the stuff. They're following it closely. So most important
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: thing is get out there and vote. Voter turnout is
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: five hundred percent above normal right now. If that continues,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: we could get to two million votes. If that's the case,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie has a really good chance of losing. If
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: it's the normal thirty percent turnout, he's got a real
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: good chance of winning. If it gets to two million
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: up near there a very good chance at Mom Donnie loses.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: So that's the key, get out and vote, and another
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: important thing to keep reminding you. If you're in Manhattan,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: get rid of Alvin Bragg the DA. Vote for Maud Marin.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: She's the Republican candidate. She's very big on this is
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: a revolutionary idea. I'm putting the criminals in jail the
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: current DA. Bragg doesn't believe in jail. He believes in
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: letting them all out. He said that on Day one,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: famous memo. So get rid of Alvin Bragg, vote for
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: maud Merin, and again throw out everybody on the city council.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Just everybody clean house and get a new common sense
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: city council. If you're worried about Mom, Donnie, that's one
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: thing you can do, because city council has more power
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: than anybody. Hey, when it comes to twenty twenty eight,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: what are the Democrats going to do? A lot of
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: them want to run a lot of these cabinet members,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the Pete Buddhajetge types. But they're going to have a
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: big problem because more and more stuff is coming out
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and you'll continue to see more showing that Joe Biden
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: was a complete zombie, a vegetable that didn't know where
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: he was, and they were all covering it up. So
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: if you're in the cabinet, you're gonna have to explain
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: why you helped cover that up, why you didn't say anything.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: So anybody in the Biden mistration is going to have
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: trouble running. They'll never be able to explain why they
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: didn't come forward or why they didn't do something. So
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: this helps Gavin Newsom because he could say, you know, hey,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I was all the way out in California. I didn't
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: know what was going on. And Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: good governor. Maybe he's eyeing twenty twenty eight. He's starting
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: to say things about Biden that everybody should have noticed.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: He noticed, he saw things wrong, he said, just watching television,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: I saw So he's starting to do that. Hey, now,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: what about Trump in twenty twenty eight. You know, he's
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: talked about how he could run in twenty twenty eight.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he could, but he's been talking
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: about it. I think you might see that talk stop
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: from what I hear. Mike Johnson has told him to
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: stop with the twenty twenty eight He's basically just taunting people.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: But Johnson said, you could hurt us in the midterms.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: People might get so scared of that just as you know,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: just as a buffer, they might vote for Democrats just
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: to make sure government was split. So he said, stop
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty eight talk. It might help Democrats in
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: the midterms. So you probably see Trump stop that the shutdown.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: The Democrats keep voting to keep the shutdown going. I
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: don't know why they keep voting. Schumer making he's having
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: another press conference to day. He just makes these crazy comments.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: There was one yesterday. Why is the president on a
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: foreign trip? What is he doing overseas? Why would he
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: be on a foreign Well, he's coming back with great deals.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: He's saving the American economy with that stuff. That's why
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: the stock market has been soaring. He's been making great agreements,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: trade deals, all sorts of economic deals with country after country.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: It's called deliverables. He's getting us stuff. He meets with
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: the president she late tonight.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: President chief of China is coming tomorrow here and we're
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: going to be I hope making a deal.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have a deal. I think it'll
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: be a good deal for both. Yeah, Now this could
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: be big. This could really be a big, huge boost
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: of the economy. Now you'll say it's tomorrow the meeting
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: with she, but because of the crazy time difference, it'll
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: actually be late tonight for us. Hey, the cartel, you know,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: we keep blowing up those ships out there. A lot
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: of people are saying, if Trump's going to war with
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: the cartel, why does he blow up the labs, you know,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: like in Mexico where they make the drugs, Why doesn't
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: he blow that up. There's a lot of strategy to this.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: They've thought about this very carefully. This is very strategic.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: They have figured out if you blow up the lab,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: they can rebuild another lab. Oh, it might cost them
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: twenty five thousand to build a new lab, but twenty
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: five thousand. If you blow up the ship with the
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: drugs on it and all the ingredients, that's twenty five million.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: So the idea is to bankrupt them, to just drain
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: them financially. So and you can make all the drugs
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: you want in a lab, but that doesn't mean anything
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: if he can't transport them to the U. And it's
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: mostly by ship, So it shuts down the transportation of
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: the drugs and it kills them financially. Again, blowing up
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: the lab. You can you watch Breaking Bad how they
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: built those labs. It's about twenty thousand. Twenty five thousand
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: means you blow up the lab, they can have another
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: one up in a week. You blow up twenty five.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Some of those ships had fifty million in drugs on them.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Really really hurt the car. Tell So anyways, Hey, the
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: ballroom project moving along. They're moving very fast.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: The reason for the ballroom the President, as a world leader,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: met all the other world leaders all over the world,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: and he noticed when you go see a world leader,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: they're in a palace. It's the most ornate, palatial, unbelievably
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: spectacular places you meet them. See realized. They come to
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: America and the Oval Office, you know, we think it's great,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: but it's a pretty plain room. It's like a plain
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: municipal office, and it doesn't project what you want to project.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: And when they come here, the President feels you know,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: you see the Oval Office. Now he's got gold and
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: it's too ornate and it's too looks like Versai or something. Well,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: that's to project power, strength, wealth, because that's the way
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: those world leaders live and that's what their office looks like.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: So he's trying to project that back. And when they
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: come here for a major event. It was pathetic. They
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: would hold it on the way White House lawn in
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: a tent. The East room of the White House only
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: holds about one hundred people, but you can do five

  Speaker 2: What crazy New York City. Good news is with these

  Speaker 2: good point Stewart. Let's go to Billy in Manhattan. Billy,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Mark?
• 49:07
  Speaker 12: We well, a couple of quick points. Who are the
• 49:10
  Speaker 12: heard of this Gotham polling group. From what I gathered,
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: it's a couple of hundred senior citizens that are friendly
• 49:15
  Speaker 12: to Cuomo. And it's almost publicity, including your station. It's bogus.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you got to remember in this race,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: we haven't had any real good polls. We've had all
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: these junk polls, these college polls, these media polls. Normally,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: the campaign behind the scenes they bring in the big, big,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: serious pollsters, the John McLaughlin's, but none of them have
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: spent the money. That's the problem. So we're all these
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: public poles are all just just junk. Let's go to
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Jan in New Jersey. Jan, how you doing?
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: Mark?
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: May Or?
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: Mark?
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: Doesn't that sound good?
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: No? No, I don't want to be mayor?
• 49:49
  Speaker 14: Okay, all right, I know you don't want it, but
• 49:51
  Speaker 14: you'd be great. You know what I was thinking. There's
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: so much like everybody, but with Mom, Donnie and AOC
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: and Burn, they're like keeping people to be caterpillars instead
• 50:03
  Speaker 14: of letting them to be butterflies.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: All Right, I don't know what that means. But okay,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: let's go to Jimmy and New Milford. Jimmy, how you doing?
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: He good?
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Wanting markla good.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: There's one thing that I could never There's one thing
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: I can never figure Clmo for, and that was when
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: he said, boy, you know, America was never that great anyway.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: One of those famous comments, you know, to talk about
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: these things that mom Donnie said in the past. Cuomo
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: said some pretty bad things in the past. Two Let's
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark? I'm okay, good morning, Mara. Mark. Among
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: the many things you said that or right on the money,
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: you mentioned the fact that the new Chase building. Now
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: I want AOC Bernie Sanders and Mondamie to think about this.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Think about all the tax relief and all the money
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: that that building is supplying to the city burst off
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: in property tax, in water and sewer tax, and then
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: all the people that are being employed. You said, what
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: ten thousand people are being employed in that building. Yeah,
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: all right, all those people have to be are paying tax, right,
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: and they're contributing also to the local economy. Because Jamie
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Diamond says he wants everybody to work, right at least
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: three or four days a week.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, what's your five days a week? Great, Jamie
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Dimon as well as you got to go back to
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: the office, right.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: Because he knows that that's contributing to the local economy,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: to the delicate tssen, to the dry cleaners, this, that
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: and the other. And another thing that you mentioned. You
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: mentioned the great voted turnout, the high voted turnout. John
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Kattamatidis last night said that in June, and this is
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: another reason why we must bring the primary back in September.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: In June it was one hundred and two degrees that
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: stay that they had the primary. I felt like when
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: I went to go vote, I was gonna drop bed in.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: The polling place is only three blocks from my house.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: People are busy, schools over, they're getting ready to go
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: up state, go on vacation. And yeah, no that's a
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: good degrees heat and everything.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: No good point, No more primaries in June. They got
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: to move back to September where they belong. But Vincent,
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: we got to go do the news. Great call. Yeah
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: it was there's another There have been a lot of
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: tricks they've used from the rank choice voting to moving
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: the primaries to June. You get much lower turnout if
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: you do it in June. If you do it in September,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: you get much better turnout. Hey, when we come back,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to the best county executive in America, Bruce Blakeman.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: He's up for reelection. Obviously he's gonna win, but make
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: sure you get out there and Botram. We'll talk to
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: him next on seven to ten WR.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Mister New York. Hey, that's marksimone seven ten WR.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Well, we love Long Island, especially Nasaut County, and it
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: has the best county executive in America. There's not even
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: a close second. Bruce Blakeman is the county executive up
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: for reelection on Tuesday. Make sure you vote for Bruce
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Blakeman on Tuesday. And he's with us right now. Bruce Blakeman,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: how you doing good?
• 53:11
  Speaker 12: Mark?
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: Thank you so much. You're very kind, Really appreciate it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Do you actually have an opponent? Has anybody had the
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: nerve to run against you?
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: Yes, we have an opponent. I don't take anything for granted,
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: you know, Mark. In Nassau County we have one hundred
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: and ten thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans. So we
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: can't take anything for granted here.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: All right, So everybody get out and vote for Bruce
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Blakeman on Tuesday. You have early voting out there too,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: don't you.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so yeah, do it.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Today and you have a very good district attorney. It's
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: to Anne Donnelly, right, We everyra should vote for her
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: too well.
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: Working with Anne Donnelly and our great police Commissioner Pat Ryder,
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: and our police department, our Sheriff's department, working very closely
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: with ICE, we are the safest county in America, which
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: is saving It's saying a lot since we're on the
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: border of New York City and our populations larger than
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: ten states in America.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so if mom Donnie wins, can we join Nasau
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: County in New York City? Can become part of Nassau County?
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Is that possible?
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: Our real estate brokers are doing a tremendous business right now.
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: Our housing prices are going up up, So if you
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: want to come to Dassau County, now's the time to
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: buy because it's only going to go higher. People are
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: very concerned about him becoming mayor. I certainly am planning
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: with our police department measures that we're going to take
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: because we have a great relationship with the NYPD right now.
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: We share intelligence, we share assets, we work very well together.
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure that's going to be the same if
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: he's elected.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: How hard is it just to have common sense in politics?
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: You know, one thing, you come from the private sector too.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Do you think that should be a requirement that you
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: had have been in the private sector just to learn
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: common sense and how to be practical about things.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: I think it's a great platform to run for office
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: where you have to meet a payroll, where you understand
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: that everything that every decision that that's made is a
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: cost benefit analysis. That's what you should do in business.
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: That's what you should do in government. Unfortunately it's not
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: done in government. But you know, we do common sense
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: things out here, like boys play with boys, girls play
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: with girls. We don't want boys and girls bathrooms and
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: locker rooms. Just common sense.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and things are booming and NASA right every time
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: I'm out there, you got another hotel going up, more
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: stores are opening. It's the economy is bigger than ever,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: Our gross domestic product is larger than one hundred and
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: twenty six nations in the United Nations. We are an
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: economic powerhouse. Our restaurants are as good as New York City.
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: Our shopping is as good as New York City, may
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: be better. We have beautiful beaches, beautiful parks, great museums.
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: And by the way, I heard you mentioned the YOUU
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: Dell's great great entrepreneurs out here in Nassau County. I
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: love them because they create a lot of sales tax
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: revenue for us.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Yea Marky Della, his wife Candy, that whole family is
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: just wonderful. And that's another example. Like he's adding another
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Florid to his store. Next store, you got rh Restoration hardware.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: They just opened a spectacular store. So they must think
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: highly of you and Long Island if they're spending all
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: this money to expand.
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: Well, we are the safest county in America. We haven't
• 56:36
  Speaker 8: raised taxes one penny in four years, so we're doing
• 56:41
  Speaker 8: the right things out here. And we encourage businesses to
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: come to Nassau County. I meet with business owners from
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: all over the world, not just the United States, and
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: encourage them to do business in Nassau County because it's safe.
• 56:55
  Speaker 8: We've got beautiful housing stock. As I said, we've got
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: beautiful beaches, our our top notch. We've got a lot
• 57:02
  Speaker 8: to offer out here.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So why does anybody go to the Hamptons. I've
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: never understood that it takes you nine hours to get there.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Nasau County got better restaurants and better stores, you got
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: beautiful beaches. But I guess it's good they don't all
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: come because you can't, you'd have too many people.
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: We were the Hamptons before there was a Hampton mark.
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: So we have the Gold Coast, which has amazing homes, again,
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: great restaurants. Then on the South Shore, we've got some
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: of the most pristine, beautiful beaches in the whole world.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: So we've never marketed Nassau County the way that we should.
• 57:41
  Speaker 8: So the last four years, that's all I've been doing.
• 57:44
  Speaker 8: As I said, our gross domestic product is incredibly high.
• 57:47
  Speaker 8: When I came into office, it was eighty five billion
• 57:49
  Speaker 8: a year. It's now over one hundred and twenty five
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: billion dollars a year.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: So everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman Tuesday's election. That you
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: can do early voting if you're in Nasau County, make
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: sure you vote for Bruce Blakeman, and you must have
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: you thought about the next four years what you want
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: to do. You must have a lot on your plate there.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: But what's next for NASA?
• 58:10
  Speaker 8: Continue to make it safer, continue to make it more affordable,
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: keep taxes down, and use common sense, as you said,
• 58:19
  Speaker 8: and American values. We need to get back to American values.
• 58:22
  Speaker 8: Our kids have been indoctrinated with nonsense in our schools
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: and universities, and we've got to reteach them about the
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: things that were talked to us by our parents and grandparents.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get a mom Donnie getting all these votes,
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think that's the result of universities
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: becoming crazy left wing and doctrination centers gl glamorizing socialism.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: And how do you undo that? That could take They've
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: raised generations of these crazy people. How do you undo that?
• 58:52
  Speaker 8: Well, we have to re educate Mark. By the way,
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: communism has been a failure. Socialism has been a failure.
• 58:59
  Speaker 8: You can't point to one country where it's been a success.
• 59:04
  Speaker 8: And my friends who are who are you know, immigrants
• 59:07
  Speaker 8: from socialist countries. They can't understand why we don't teach
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: more in our in our public schools and our universities
• 59:14
  Speaker 8: and our private schools about what socialism and communism are
• 59:19
  Speaker 8: all about. It's basically being nonproductive, depending on the government
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: to control every aspect of your life. Anti religion, no spirituality.
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: It's really a dismal life. I think Winston Churchill said
• 59:35
  Speaker 8: it's the sharing of misery.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: So Bruce Blakeman is up for re election. Make sure
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: you vote for him on Tuesday. Best county executive in America?
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Have you getten calls from other county executives? You've worked
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: miracles there? Have they called you for a guidance advice?
• 59:52
  Speaker 8: Well, I talk with political leaders throughout the state. I
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: speak with county executives all over New York State, and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 8: you know, we've got a good nucleus here in New
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: York State. And you know, one of the things we've
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 8: got to do is focus very very carefully on changing
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: our state government because they're the biggest problem. With castlest bail,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 8: with all congestion, pricing, all of these types of very
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: oppressive laws that are anti business, the pro criminal those
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 8: are the types of things that we've got to change
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: in our state government.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if we have any big politicians listening. Give them
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: some advice on how to be fearless. You've been a
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: guy who just you know, what's the right thing to do,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: what's the smart thing to do, and you do it,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: and maybe you get a little flack, but you get
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: through it. You're not under any big attack from anybody
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: to tell them how doing the right thing is sometimes
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: in the end will always work out for you.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 8: Well, that's absolutely right, Mark. I think that if you
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: do the right thing, if you're courageous, if you stand
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: by your values and principles, eventually that will reap great benefits.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 8: So I'll give you a for instance, my cooperation with ICE.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: We are the most comprehensive county in the United States.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 8: In our cooperation with ICE. We've removed forty seven illegal
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: migrants who had criminal records just last months. Twenty eight
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: of them were gang related. When people when I told
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 8: people I was going to enter into a cooperation agreement
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 8: with ICE, they were like, Oh, you're going to lose
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 8: the Hispanic vote. The Hispanic Americans won't both of you.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 8: We've pulled it now three times in the Hispanic American community,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 8: they love it. From sixty two to sixty six percent
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 8: of Hispanic Americans want that cooperation with ICE because they
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 8: want safe communities for their children. They don't want their
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 8: children to being doctrinated into gangs. They don't want overcrowded schools,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: they don't want homeless people in their neighborhoods. So my
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 8: support in the Hispanic American community has been overwhelming.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great example for any other politicians. Just
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: do the right thing. You'll get a little flak here
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: in there, but in the end everything will be better,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Everything works out, and then you get credit for doing
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: the right thing. And we want everybody to vote for
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman on Tuesday, that's election day, but you can
• 1:02:12
