Hour 2: CEO Jamie Dimon's 2025 salary. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Now more marximon on seven r.
0:11
Speaker 2: Hey.
0:11
Speaker 3: Luckily it's Friday already, first week of twenty twenty six,
0:15
Speaker 3: done and lots to get to. This hour, we'll get
0:19
Speaker 3: to Bruce Blakeman. He should be the next governor. We'll
0:22
Speaker 3: talk to him coming up later this hour. Kathy Hochel
0:25
Speaker 3: will look like she will head to the left, far
0:29
Speaker 3: to the left, trying to get the nomination. She's closing
0:33
Speaker 3: up to Mom Donnie. She's somehow decided that to win,
0:37
Speaker 3: she's got to be over there with Mom Donnie, get
0:40
Speaker 3: his support his voters, which might be fine in New
0:43
Speaker 3: York City, but I don't know, you've got a lot
0:45
Speaker 3: of them up state. Remember, Bruce Blakeman just won a
0:47
Speaker 3: big election in Nassau County second time. And if you
0:51
Speaker 3: look at the makeup of Nassau County, it's very similar
0:54
Speaker 3: to the makeup of New York State. Demographics, party, all
0:58
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. So excellent shot. He's far more
1:01
Speaker 3: qualified to be governor than Kathy Ochalist. So we'll talk
1:06
Speaker 3: to him later this hour. By the way, he gets
1:08
Speaker 3: inaugurated for the second term on Monday, big inauguration ceremony.
1:13
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, of course, just being Mom Donnie. He's doing
1:17
Speaker 3: lots of interviews. I don't know if he does any work.
1:19
Speaker 3: There's no sign of him actually doing anything as mayor
1:22
Speaker 3: the good news about mom Donnie. People have said, I
1:26
Speaker 3: don't want to say who, but they've said a couple
1:29
Speaker 3: of things. One, he doesn't really do anything. It's all talk.
1:33
Speaker 3: He just gets out there and he talks, and he
1:34
Speaker 3: talks a mile a minute, and he does one interview
1:36
Speaker 3: after another, and it's a pointing people, and they talk
1:39
Speaker 3: and he talks and they talk, but nobody ever actually
1:41
Speaker 3: does anything. The other thing is people say they believe
1:45
Speaker 3: he's not a very courageous person. He's basically a kind
1:49
Speaker 3: of a coward. So these big, big controversial things he's proposing,
1:54
Speaker 3: he may never actually pull the trigger on and may
1:56
Speaker 3: never actually do any of them. But he does love
1:59
Speaker 3: to talk here. I never saw I do so many interviews.
2:02
Speaker 3: Yesterday he's talking a good morning, good day in New York, Hello, Schenectany.
2:07
Speaker 3: He's talking to New York, anywhere and everywhere, talking about
2:11
Speaker 3: anything and everything.
2:12
Speaker 1: For too many years, the relationship between Albany and City
2:16
Speaker 1: Hall has been defined by dysfunction and discourse, by feuds,
2:21
Speaker 1: and by factionalism, petty grievances have interfered with the work
2:25
Speaker 1: of serving the people.
2:27
Speaker 3: But again it's just talk. You just get up there
2:29
Speaker 3: and you're talking. For too many years. You talk like this,
2:32
Speaker 3: and you sound like you're making some important point and
2:35
Speaker 3: nobody's listening, and meantime you're getting nothing done. And then
2:38
Speaker 3: of course there's all his left wing stuff.
2:40
Speaker 4: Obviously that's not an opinion that I share.
2:42
Speaker 5: And oh ay, you know what this is.
2:44
Speaker 3: This is he appointed this woman to run housing, real
2:48
Speaker 3: left wing cook. Now you just have to accept this.
2:51
Speaker 3: Mondani is basically the third term of Doblasio. And it's
2:55
Speaker 3: the same as Deblasi. You point a bunch of left
2:57
Speaker 3: wing cooks who just say left wing cookie things, and
3:00
Speaker 3: everybody looks at their Twitter from three years ago and
3:03
Speaker 3: they can't believe the things that they said. And this
3:05
Speaker 3: woman he appointed to run housing. You go back and
3:07
Speaker 3: look at her Twitter. I think she took it down
3:10
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, but when people looked at
3:12
Speaker 3: her Twitter from two years ago, three years ago, she's
3:14
Speaker 3: tweeting all kinds of nonsense. She said, owning a home
3:17
Speaker 3: is white supremacy. Nobody should be allowed to have private property.
3:22
Speaker 3: I mean, all this Unamerican nonsense, crazy stuff. So Mom
3:25
Speaker 3: Donnie was asked about her.
3:26
Speaker 4: Obviously, that's not an opinion that I share. And I
3:29
Speaker 4: made the decision to have her as our executive director
3:31
Speaker 4: of the Mayor's Office to protect tenants, not because of
3:34
Speaker 4: her comments, but because of her work. She is someone
3:36
Speaker 4: who has won significant victories for tenants, not just in
3:39
Speaker 4: New York City, but across the entirety of the state
3:42
Speaker 4: formative part of what was an upstate downstate coalition, and
3:45
Speaker 4: we've seen her already hard at work in this past week.
3:47
Speaker 4: She's someone who has been a core part of our
3:50
Speaker 4: efforts to coordinate rental ripoff hearings across the city, as
3:53
Speaker 4: well as informing tenants of their rights in the city
3:55
Speaker 4: where oftentimes they're not made aware of them.
3:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all you got to do, is if you
4:01
Speaker 3: want to be a Mom Donney type of Mary, you
4:02
Speaker 3: just talk very fast and you sound like you know
4:03
Speaker 3: what you're talking about, and you says say things like
4:05
Speaker 3: she has made incredible strides and she's she's gotten so
4:08
Speaker 3: much accomplished with housing. Well, if that were true, you
4:12
Speaker 3: wouldn't have a housing problem. You just ran saying it's
4:14
Speaker 3: all out of control and terrible. So what strides did
4:16
Speaker 3: she make? But you ask Mom, Donnie. He can talk
4:19
Speaker 3: for an hour on any subject, two hours if he
4:22
Speaker 3: happens to know something about it. But here he is
4:24
Speaker 3: on Venezuela. He called the President.
4:26
Speaker 6: Well, I wanted to make clear to the President directly
4:29
Speaker 6: that these were the thoughts that I had, and they
4:31
Speaker 6: were also the thoughts that I was about to share
4:32
Speaker 6: with the world. And this is not just an action
4:35
Speaker 6: taken by a federal administration abroad. It's also an action
4:38
Speaker 6: that then implicates New York City because right now, Nicholas
4:40
Speaker 6: mother Roy is here in New York City, and my
4:42
Speaker 6: job as the Mayor of New York City is to
4:44
Speaker 6: ensure that any federal action has a limited impact, if any,
4:47
Speaker 6: on the day to day lives of New York.
4:50
Speaker 5: You really don't.
4:50
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the window right now in mid toam Manhattan,
4:53
Speaker 3: and all these people walking around, they don't seem to
4:54
Speaker 3: be worried about Maduro. Here's in New York. He's actually
4:58
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Detention. He's in federal custody,
5:01
Speaker 3: in the federal system. Again, I'm looking at everybody else.
5:04
Speaker 3: There's a million people walking around out there. They don't
5:08
Speaker 3: seem concerned about it. They don't seem to be worrying
5:11
Speaker 3: about it. Now, here's the good news about this old mom.
5:13
Speaker 3: Donnie Mesk, the city council speaker who's in charge of
5:18
Speaker 3: the city council, really has a lot of power, at
5:21
Speaker 3: least as much as the mayor. And some would argue
5:24
Speaker 3: the city council speaker has more power than the mayor. Well,
5:27
Speaker 3: with the crazy left wing, kooky mayor, and of course
5:31
Speaker 3: you got a lot of crazy left wing cooks on
5:33
Speaker 3: the city council. Somehow they just elected a normal, moderate,
5:37
Speaker 3: common sense woman. Her name is Menon. She is the
5:42
Speaker 3: new city council speaker. She's not a left wing cook,
5:45
Speaker 3: very normal, very sane, very rational. And again, the city
5:49
Speaker 3: council has at least as much power as the mayor.
5:52
Speaker 3: Some would argue more. But here she is. We obviously
5:54
Speaker 3: now she's also Jewish. With the anti Semitic mayor, you've
5:58
Speaker 3: got a Jewish city council speak who will do everything
6:01
Speaker 3: to protect the Jewish community.
6:03
Speaker 7: We obviously need to protect the First Amendment right to
6:06
Speaker 7: peacefully protest. That is sacrisanct. But what we cannot have
6:11
Speaker 7: is a situation which we've had in New York, and
6:13
Speaker 7: we saw it at Parky Synagogue where people were trying
6:16
Speaker 7: to worship that evening and they felt intimidated and harassed.
6:20
Speaker 7: We are going to be doing legislation to create safe
6:23
Speaker 7: perimeters around all houses of worship and around schools so
6:27
Speaker 7: that yes, of course people can peacefully protest, that's sacrisanc
6:30
Speaker 7: but what you cannot do is intimidate and harass people
6:34
Speaker 7: as they're trying to go to school, go to their
6:36
Speaker 7: house of worship. So we're really going to be aggressive
6:38
Speaker 7: about that.
6:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, so in a way things might be better right
6:43
Speaker 3: now than with the Blasi because with the Blasio you
6:45
Speaker 3: had a left wing kookie mayor and you had a
6:47
Speaker 3: left wing kookie city council speaker. But now yea half
6:51
Speaker 3: of the half of the duo is saying rational and
6:55
Speaker 3: somebody alike men, and is the new city council speaker. Now,
7:01
Speaker 3: as I say, Mom, Donnie's like the third term of Deblasio.
7:04
Speaker 3: And one thing about the Blasio, it was bad, but
7:06
Speaker 3: we got through it just fine. It wasn't survivable like
7:11
Speaker 3: Deblasio and de Blasi was the same way, kind of lazy,
7:14
Speaker 3: didn't really do anything, loved to talk a lot, was
7:16
Speaker 3: a greate at speeches. Oh remember de Blasio never came
7:21
Speaker 3: to work. He would wake up and go to Brooklyn
7:24
Speaker 3: to that Jimmy like. He'd be in that gym for
7:26
Speaker 3: a couple hours. Then there was a little cafe coffee shop.
7:29
Speaker 3: He'd go in there for a couple hours. He would
7:31
Speaker 3: show up at city Hall about four o'clock, take a
7:33
Speaker 3: nap for half an hour, and then leave and that
7:35
Speaker 3: was about it. Mom, Donnie likes to be at city
7:38
Speaker 3: Hall and he loves doing interviews, and he talks real
7:40
Speaker 3: fast and just keeps answering that you can ask him anything.
7:43
Speaker 3: And then they come up with these ideas. That's the
7:46
Speaker 3: one thing about these left wing types, these mom Donnie
7:50
Speaker 3: del They've got a million ideas from a program for
7:52
Speaker 3: the homeless, they got a program for this, they got
7:54
Speaker 3: pre K, they got daycare. All these ideas, nothing ever
7:57
Speaker 3: really happens. They just talk about it at the universe.
8:00
Speaker 1: So pre k not only when we make pre K
8:03
Speaker 1: truly universal, but expand this care to include all two
8:08
Speaker 1: and three year olds across the city. As the governor said,
8:15
Speaker 1: we will deliver two care by working in partnership with
8:18
Speaker 1: childcare providers, especially home based providers.
8:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, they cheering and cheering, love that universal pre K,
8:28
Speaker 3: not just pre K, universal pre K, and they get
8:32
Speaker 3: all excited. And then just like in Minnesota, whenever they
8:35
Speaker 3: do this stuff, these left wing Democrat programs a couple
8:39
Speaker 3: of years ago is by an Alvi Siden knows this.
8:41
Speaker 3: Billions missing, billions of dollars missing in pre k. Remember
8:44
Speaker 3: the the Blasio Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A
8:48
Speaker 3: billion dollars went missing. And of course the media is
8:51
Speaker 3: a Democrat. They never looked to see what happened to it. Yeah,
8:53
Speaker 3: it's Minnesota. That's why they're going crazy. Another reason they're
8:56
Speaker 3: going crazy over this shooting. It gets that SMA childcare, daycare,
9:01
Speaker 3: eighteen billion missing, gets it out of the headlines, gets
9:04
Speaker 3: it out of the news. Everybody forgets about it for
9:06
Speaker 3: a minute. Luigi Manngioni going to court today, the big
9:12
Speaker 3: day in court. There'll be a big fight, and his
9:14
Speaker 3: attorney's well, the first thing you're trying to do is
9:15
Speaker 3: get the death penalty off the table. That's the one thing.
9:21
Speaker 8: Now.
9:21
Speaker 3: The other thing is they think they can get some
9:22
Speaker 3: of the evidence tossed out that got him arrested, although
9:26
Speaker 3: I doubt that. Now here's the problem. A lot of
9:28
Speaker 3: these experts that hunt for fugitive say, this kid was
9:32
Speaker 3: really stupid about a lot of things. You know, it
9:36
Speaker 3: was right out there, look out the window, right across
9:39
Speaker 3: the street. Right there, that's where he shot the guy,
9:40
Speaker 3: right across the street, the New York Kilton. It's on
9:43
Speaker 3: the corner where the New York Kilton is. And we're
9:47
Speaker 3: iHeart right here across the street. But you know, on
9:49
Speaker 3: that corner in Manhattan, there's a surveillance camera everywhere, every inch.
9:54
Speaker 3: It's true of all of Manhattan, all the New York City.
9:56
Speaker 3: They got surveillance cameras everywhere. So if you shoot on
10:00
Speaker 3: that corner, there's going to be video of you from
10:03
Speaker 3: every angle shooting the guy. So they got him there.
10:06
Speaker 3: The other thing is if you're a fugitive and you're
10:08
Speaker 3: on the lamb, if you're like a David Jansen fugitive,
10:11
Speaker 3: if you're a Harrison Ford fugitive fleeing and you're in
10:15
Speaker 3: these little small towns, you're supposed to go into these
10:19
Speaker 3: little mom and pop places if you've got to get
10:21
Speaker 3: some food, You're not supposed to go into McDonald's and
10:25
Speaker 3: he made a huge mistake. He wasn't thinking. You know,
10:27
Speaker 3: if you go into a McDonald's, this is a big
10:31
Speaker 3: national chain. You know, you can go to any McDonald's
10:34
Speaker 3: anywhere in America. They all look the same. And one
10:36
Speaker 3: thing they put in all the McDonald's is extremely tight surveillance.
10:41
Speaker 3: They've got cameras everywhere, every angle, so you can it's
10:46
Speaker 3: easy to be on surveillance cameras if you're in McDonald's.
10:49
Speaker 3: You go into a little mom and pop general store,
10:51
Speaker 3: they're probably not so sophisticated tech wise. But he went
10:55
Speaker 3: into McDonald's where there was a ton of surveillance cameras
10:58
Speaker 3: on him, and you know, he's using a credit card
11:01
Speaker 3: every so it just didn't make sense. It was easy
11:03
Speaker 3: to catch him. The locals caught him. The people in
11:07
Speaker 3: McDonald's thought he looked like the shooter, you know, with
11:10
Speaker 3: that one big unibrow eyebrow, and the he's kind of
11:14
Speaker 3: a distinctive looking guy. So they called the police. The
11:16
Speaker 3: police came arrested him. So they're trying to get that
11:19
Speaker 3: tossed out and that somehow he was illegally arrested or
11:22
Speaker 3: that he had the wrong evidence I don't know what
11:24
Speaker 3: they're going to argue, but they're gonna try. Hey, by
11:30
Speaker 3: the way, the Vice president of great press conference yesterday,
11:33
Speaker 3: Vice President Vance. But they've also announced, you got this
11:36
Speaker 3: Somali fraud and it looks like it's going to be
11:38
Speaker 3: even worse in California, even worse in Illinois. So they've
11:43
Speaker 3: announced the Department of Justice is creating a whole new
11:46
Speaker 3: Assistant Attorney General whose only focus will be on this fraud.
11:51
Speaker 3: Start with Minnesota, go after them, then go to California,
11:55
Speaker 3: then go to these other states. So he'll be one
11:58
Speaker 3: Attorney general assistant to General, just focused on this fraud,
12:03
Speaker 3: on doing something about it and try to stop it.
12:06
Speaker 3: And by the way, we would Mam Donnie. You know,
12:08
Speaker 3: he went after Trump like crazy on Venezuela, attacked him
12:13
Speaker 3: Trump was asked about it. He's done a lot of interviews.
12:15
Speaker 3: So he did a great hour on Hannity last night.
12:18
Speaker 3: You'll probably hear it on the Hannity Radio show today
12:20
Speaker 3: here on WOR he did a New York Times. I
12:24
Speaker 3: don't know why he does this The New York Times.
12:25
Speaker 3: These people hate his guts, but he brought him into
12:28
Speaker 3: the Oval office game a couple hours of his time.
12:31
Speaker 3: But they said, what about Mam Donnie attacking you like
12:33
Speaker 3: crazy on Venezuela? And he actually said, you know, the
12:37
Speaker 3: guy was here. We got along great. I was really
12:39
Speaker 3: nice to him. And Trump says, quote, he's got a
12:42
Speaker 3: great personality. He's a nice guy. His policies are not good,
12:46
Speaker 3: but who knows, maybe he changes. But he said the
12:50
Speaker 3: way he attacked me, I thought the guy would wait
12:52
Speaker 3: at least three or four weeks before going after me.
12:54
Speaker 3: We just had a great time together. I thought it
12:57
Speaker 3: would take him a few weeks before he goes. But nope,
13:00
Speaker 3: he didn't wait at all, went right after him. Now
13:04
Speaker 3: you know who Jamie Diamond is. He's the chairman of
13:06
Speaker 3: JP Morgan Chase. He's considered the best CEO in America,
13:12
Speaker 3: top CEO. He's the greatest CEO obviously in banking. Guess
13:18
Speaker 3: what he made last year? What would you pay a
13:21
Speaker 3: guy like that? They had a great year JP Morgan Chase.
13:23
Speaker 3: What do you think they pay him?
13:25
Speaker 5: Well?
13:25
Speaker 3: Last year he made seven one hundred and seventy million dollars.
13:30
Speaker 3: Seven one hundred and seventy million dollars. Nah, that sounds
13:33
Speaker 3: like a lot, but hey, after taxes, it's only five
13:36
Speaker 3: hundred million. So now, actually there's a big asterisk on this.
13:39
Speaker 3: They didn't pay him that He made about I think
13:43
Speaker 3: twenty five million in salary, which is normal for a
13:45
Speaker 3: big CEO of a major corporation.
13:48
Speaker 5: You know, if they.
13:48
Speaker 3: Trust you with a eight hundred billion dollar company and
13:51
Speaker 3: you've got to run it, that's what you get paid.
13:54
Speaker 3: And most of this money was he had stock options.
13:59
Speaker 3: You know, if you really want to be fair, pay
14:02
Speaker 3: the guy with stock options. That way, if he makes
14:04
Speaker 3: the stock go up, he makes money. If he screws
14:07
Speaker 3: up and the stock goes down, he loses money. Well,
14:10
Speaker 3: JP Morgan Chase had the greatest year ever. I think
14:12
Speaker 3: they were the biggest stock in America, up thirty four
14:17
Speaker 3: percent for the year, major stock up thirty four percent
14:21
Speaker 3: for the year. So that's how he made that money.
14:23
Speaker 3: Now what would that mean JP Morgan Chase going up
14:26
Speaker 3: thirty four percent?
14:27
Speaker 5: I don't know.
14:28
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have the numbers in front of me.
14:30
Speaker 3: But let's say that means an extra three hundred billion.
14:34
Speaker 3: So if you made somebody three hundred billion, hey, I
14:36
Speaker 3: guess you could get paid seven hundred and seventy million.
14:40
Speaker 3: So I know you're supposed to get mad at him.
14:43
Speaker 3: You know, in California they hate these people. They in fact,
14:45
Speaker 3: they want to have a five percent tax on all
14:49
Speaker 3: these billionaires, a one time In other words, they would
14:53
Speaker 3: take five percent of their money, not their income, all
14:57
Speaker 3: the money they have in the bank, everything. Just see
15:00
Speaker 3: he's five percent of it, a one time tax, five percent.
15:03
Speaker 3: They're trying to get this passed.
15:05
Speaker 5: Now.
15:06
Speaker 3: Some billionaires have already left. About six billionaires, major figures,
15:12
Speaker 3: Peter Thiel, others have moved out of the state. They've
15:16
Speaker 3: left because they don't want to pay Let's say you
15:18
Speaker 3: got twenty billion your tax, there would be one billion
15:26
Speaker 3: you'd have to hand over write a check for one billion.
15:28
Speaker 3: So they're rather than pay it, they're leaving six of them.
15:32
Speaker 3: There's a couple of his staying. The Navidia chairman said
15:34
Speaker 3: he has no plans to leave the big another billionaires,
15:38
Speaker 3: a real estate guy, Sobrato, he's staying put. But he
15:41
Speaker 3: said he doesn't expect this this thing to pass. He
15:43
Speaker 3: doesn't think it'll pass. Hey, now, the other thing is
15:46
Speaker 3: if you leave, like all these guys just left right now,
15:49
Speaker 3: they're going to pay this. They're saying when they pass
15:51
Speaker 3: this tax, it'll be retroactive. Even if you left, you
15:54
Speaker 3: still have to pay it. However, good luck trying to
15:57
Speaker 3: collect that if the person is gone. Hey, well, we'll
16:00
Speaker 3: take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one
16:03
Speaker 3: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
16:07

Speaker 9: Set another from Mark's podcast to hear him anytime.
16:18
Speaker 3: Now back to Mark Dumon on WOR. Hey, let's take
16:25
Speaker 3: some calls. Let's go to Doreen Duchess County. Doreen, how
16:28
Speaker 3: you doing fine?
16:30
Speaker 10: Mark? How are you today?
16:31
Speaker 5: Good?
16:33
Speaker 10: I have a question. Yesterday I went to renew my
16:35
Speaker 10: license and they have a new procedure. They ask you
16:39
Speaker 10: if you want to change your voting party or or
16:42
Speaker 10: you register to vote there. Question is with all those
16:46
Speaker 10: illegal licenses at in California and all over, I was
16:49
Speaker 10: wondering how they did it.
16:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Did you have to show any
16:53
Speaker 3: kinds of ID or anything?
16:54
Speaker 10: Or I had my ID there? And then another time,
16:58
Speaker 10: when I was in the Bronx, I got a pamphlet
17:01
Speaker 10: that was already checked off for the Democratic party, and
17:04
Speaker 10: they asked me to sign it and now and then.
17:06
Speaker 10: But I'm a Republican, so they have other ways been
17:08
Speaker 10: cheating with the voting registrations there and everything else.
17:12
Speaker 5: That's true.
17:12
Speaker 3: Now, when you say go to the Motor Vehicle department,
17:15
Speaker 3: that's like a nightmare. If you're in the middle of
17:16
Speaker 3: New York City, you have a waiting line for ten hours,
17:18
Speaker 3: there's sixty thousand people. But you're in Dutchess County, right,
17:21
Speaker 3: there's probably no line. It's a quiet, little Indie green.
17:24
Speaker 10: No, it's changing, Mark, No, it's changed. Oh, really saying
17:27
Speaker 10: all over there's that urbanization all over. Now, that's what
17:31
Speaker 10: Trump said that they wanted to do, and they did it.
17:33
Speaker 5: Where are you in Dutchess County? Oh?
17:37
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is, but it sounds fine.
17:39
Speaker 10: It sounds one.
17:41
Speaker 5: It's a well there you go. It's by Beakman. Well,
17:46
Speaker 5: not that place. All right, Thanks for calling now, it
17:48
Speaker 5: sounds nice. Thanks for calling. Take care. Let's go to
17:51
Speaker 5: Vincent and Brooklyn.
17:52
Speaker 8: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay.
17:57
Speaker 8: I heard the clip you played a Mennon speaking about
18:02
Speaker 8: protecting the houses of worship. That's part of a larger
18:05
Speaker 8: interview that she gave with John Kata Matidi's on his
18:08
Speaker 8: balling show yesterday, and he directly asked her about the
18:14
Speaker 8: real estate and that the real estate community is really
18:18
Speaker 8: worried and the reason why he mentioned it, and she
18:21
Speaker 8: totally avoided the question. She's a co sponsor a lor
18:28
Speaker 8: with Councilwoman Nurse who came up with this law that
18:33
Speaker 8: you have to offer it to the nonprofit first and
18:37
Speaker 8: then secondly, and I don't know how you're going to
18:40
Speaker 8: go to contract with a private buyer if after you
18:43
Speaker 8: go to contract you have to then re offer it
18:46
Speaker 8: to them. And she totally avoided the question because she
18:53
Speaker 8: is the co sponsor of that law. And Michael Goodwin
18:58
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks ago before she was inaugurated, Michael
19:03
Speaker 8: Goodwin talked about that and he said he was hoping
19:08
Speaker 8: that Eric Adams, which she didn't do, would have vetoed
19:12
Speaker 8: vito the law because it wasn't veto proof they didn't
19:15
Speaker 8: have enough votes. But he says, I doubt that because
19:19
Speaker 8: she's a co sponsor of the law. So I heard
19:23
Speaker 8: her wiggling squeam, you know, I wish you the best
19:26
Speaker 8: and especial especially with the houses of worship and the
19:31
Speaker 8: anti Semitic activity going on in this city. But she
19:36
Speaker 8: avoided the question.
19:37
Speaker 3: Right, she's a slimy politician, but she's more of a
19:42
Speaker 3: centrist than you usually get.
19:44
Speaker 8: Oh no, definitely. That other one, well, was it Adrianna
19:47
Speaker 8: Adams who? Yeah, well she was a cut off the
19:51
Speaker 8: old She was a chip off the old man.
19:56
Speaker 3: It's been a long time since we had a normal
19:58
Speaker 3: middle of the road.
20:00
Speaker 8: It's good.
20:01
Speaker 3: It boats well, yeah, all right, Vincent, Well thanks for calling.
20:03
Speaker 3: It's just a good especially when I'm Donnie in office.
20:06
Speaker 3: You want a centrist, moderate city council speaker, and she
20:11
Speaker 3: is like a not as good as Peter Valone, but
20:14
Speaker 3: like that sort of person. So hey, there's a lot
20:19
Speaker 3: of restaurants opening all over the place. Things are booming
20:22
Speaker 3: in New York. Buildings are going up, skyscrapers ever. But
20:25
Speaker 3: we just lost one of the great landmark theater restaurants
20:29
Speaker 3: Broadway Times Square, Cafe Un d'outois been there fifty years.
20:35
Speaker 3: A lot of famous faces in there, a lot of
20:36
Speaker 3: people in the theater district. You know, the big, big,
20:38
Speaker 3: big Broadway restaurants were Joe Allen orso Sardis and that
20:44
Speaker 3: one it's closing. It doesn't say exactly why, just says
20:49
Speaker 3: too expensive expenses of skyrocketed rent is very very very expensive.
20:55
Speaker 3: Employees also added the ones hopping lunch business has dried
20:59
Speaker 3: up since the pandemic. A lot of people not going
21:01
Speaker 3: back to the office, so they go back like three
21:04
Speaker 3: days a week, so it wasn't enough to keep them going,
21:06
Speaker 3: but a lot of people went there through the years. Hey,
21:09
Speaker 3: when we come back, Bruce Blakeman, best county executive in
21:12
Speaker 3: America and the next governor of New York coming up.
21:17
Speaker 3: We'll talk to him next on seven to ten WR deven.
21:20
Speaker 9: Ten WR is Mark Simon.
21:25
Speaker 3: Well, Bruce Blakeman, I think will be the next governor
21:27
Speaker 3: of New York. And he's the most qualified person to be.
21:30
Speaker 3: You couldn't have a better choice for the next governor
21:33
Speaker 3: New York. He's the Nassau County executive. He's the best
21:36
Speaker 3: county executive in America. And that's basically being a governor.
21:39
Speaker 3: It's the same kind of job. And he's with us
21:41
Speaker 3: right now. Bruce Blakeman, how you doing.
21:44
Speaker 2: Hey, Mark, it's always to be with you, your dear friend,
21:47
Speaker 2: and it's always great when we get together, whether we're
21:51
Speaker 2: in person or over the phone on the radio, and
21:54
Speaker 2: I appreciate everything that you do.
21:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll see you a Monday because Monday is inauguration day.
21:59
Speaker 5: Second, yes, yes, so.
22:02
Speaker 2: And then i'll see a year from now for the
22:04
Speaker 2: next inauguration.
22:05
Speaker 5: Oh that's right.
22:05
Speaker 3: So it's like three inaugurations with you in this short
22:08
Speaker 3: period of time exactly. If people want to help you
22:11
Speaker 3: with the campaign, donate, help, volunteer, what can they do?
22:16
Speaker 2: Blakeman for New York dot com. That's my website On there.
22:23
Speaker 2: You can volunteer, you can donate, you can send us suggestions.
22:27
Speaker 2: You can about all of the stupid rules that we
22:31
Speaker 2: have in New York State that make it so difficult
22:33
Speaker 2: to do business. We're the most overregulated state in the
22:37
Speaker 2: United States. You can complain about your tax bill because
22:40
Speaker 2: we are the most highly taxed state in the United States.
22:45
Speaker 2: I would love to hear from you, and we could
22:47
Speaker 2: use all the support out there. And we feel very,
22:51
Speaker 2: very comfortable that we have the momentum and we have
22:55
Speaker 2: the issues on our side, and we need a governor
22:57
Speaker 2: that actually cares about New Yorkers. It puts me Yorkers first,
23:01
Speaker 2: and someone that will make New Yorkers happy because most
23:05
Speaker 2: New Yorkers are miserable with Kathy Hoche's leadership.
23:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:08
Speaker 3: Hey, when it comes to the ice shooting or whatever
23:10
Speaker 3: the issue, she seems to go very far to the left.
23:13
Speaker 3: Is she making a mistake going so far to the left.
23:16
Speaker 2: Well, she makes one mistake after the other. Let me
23:19
Speaker 2: let me an example. Mark weeks ago, we had a
23:24
Speaker 2: robbery in Nassau County of a jewelry store, and through
23:30
Speaker 2: good police work with our Nassau County Police Department, who
23:33
Speaker 2: are the best, and working with our international law enforcement partners,
23:38
Speaker 2: we were able to track down the perpetrator and this
23:43
Speaker 2: person was arrested. And that's what we found when we
23:47
Speaker 2: arrested this individual that this individual was remaining had an
23:53
Speaker 2: Irish passport, came to America from Mexico through Zona with
24:00
Speaker 2: the Biden Harris policy of open borders, made their way
24:05
Speaker 2: to New York and then they engaged in a spree
24:10
Speaker 2: larsony and stealing from businesses and people here in the
24:15
Speaker 2: whole metropolitan area. So we arrested this guy and guess
24:19
Speaker 2: what a he had a New York State driver's life.
24:25
Speaker 2: Under Kathy Hoche's leadership, somebody who could have been vetted
24:31
Speaker 2: by just sending out a request from international law enforcement
24:37
Speaker 2: for a warrant search. We would find that places like
24:41
Speaker 2: the UK and other places had arrest warrants out for
24:44
Speaker 2: this guy. But we don't get that in New York.
24:47
Speaker 2: We give it to illegal aliens. We give it to
24:50
Speaker 2: people without a background chap. If we fingerprinted this individual
24:55
Speaker 2: before giving them a driver's license, we would have been
24:59
Speaker 2: able to have comprehend them. And here's the worst part.
25:02
Speaker 2: When we arrested this individual, if Nassau County didn't have
25:06
Speaker 2: a comprehensive agreement with ICE, this guy would be back
25:09
Speaker 2: on this trip because of cashlespail. A judge wouldn't be
25:13
Speaker 2: able to hold an illegal migrant with international lawrence, and
25:18
Speaker 2: this person would be released back into community to make
25:21
Speaker 2: crimes against the people in the metropolitan area. But because
25:24
Speaker 2: we had the agreement with ICE, we were able to CALLIE.
25:29
Speaker 2: They picked this individual up, and this individual is now
25:33
Speaker 2: on his way back to Mexico or Romania or Ireland
25:37
Speaker 2: or wherever.
25:37
Speaker 5: He came from.
25:38
Speaker 3: Wow, that's one less Kathy Hochel voter.
25:41
Speaker 5: You've taken tish exactly.
25:43
Speaker 2: That's why they're doing it.
25:45
Speaker 3: Hey, the election is a long way away, but you
25:47
Speaker 3: are working hard already. I know you wanted to see
25:49
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills game. But when you were up there,
25:51
Speaker 3: you did a lot of meeting with people, voters. They
25:54
Speaker 3: got out there with people. What did you think of
25:56
Speaker 3: upstate New York.
25:58
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the people up there a very warm uh.
26:01
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time up there. Uh, not
26:04
Speaker 2: just in politics, but you know, I've been in business
26:07
Speaker 2: for many years, not only as a lawyer, but also
26:10
Speaker 2: as a consulting I've represented some of the largest companies
26:13
Speaker 2: in the United States. I was involved in the transportation industry,
26:16
Speaker 2: so I know the state very very well. And one
26:19
Speaker 2: of the things that was really disappointing to me was
26:23
Speaker 2: the fact that so many people were miserable. And when
26:26
Speaker 2: you ask them why they're they're miserable, they say, first
26:29
Speaker 2: of all, our communities are no longer safe, and there's
26:33
Speaker 2: no economic development, nothing going on upstate except for a few,
26:38
Speaker 2: you know, a few different areas. There's there's a couple
26:40
Speaker 2: of projects going on, one is in Onondaga County, but
26:44
Speaker 2: other than that, there's nothing going on. And we have
26:48
Speaker 2: one of the largest national natural gas reserves in the world.
26:53
Speaker 2: In the southern tier of New York State, and we
26:56
Speaker 2: don't allow any drilling. We don't allow any fracking of
26:59
Speaker 2: the natural gas. So we have an energy shortage. We
27:03
Speaker 2: have expensive energy. Here's cheap energy right in our state,
27:08
Speaker 2: and we can't do anything. Across the border. In Pennsylvania
27:13
Speaker 2: they allow fracking. They have businesses set up that are
27:19
Speaker 2: getting this natural gas out, making cheaper energy and creating
27:23
Speaker 2: prosperity and jobs for the area. In one side of
27:27
Speaker 2: the border on Pennsylvania, they're driving brand new Cadillacs. On
27:30
Speaker 2: the New York side, they're driving out driving around with rusty, old,
27:34
Speaker 2: five year old pickup trucks. So we need economic development
27:38
Speaker 2: in this state. We need to create job, we need
27:41
Speaker 2: to create prosperity. That's how you make it more affordable,
27:44
Speaker 2: putting more money in people's pockets so they can make
27:47
Speaker 2: choices on how they want to spend money.
27:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Bruce Blackman would be the best governor.
27:52
Speaker 5: He can go to bank.
27:53
Speaker 3: Mark Blakeman from New York dot com if you want
27:55
Speaker 3: to help Blakeman from New York dot com. Now they
27:58
Speaker 3: talk about affordability at the end, just raised the fair
28:01
Speaker 3: which is upset a lot of people, congestion, pricing, all
28:04
Speaker 3: that stuff. You know how the MTA works, isn't it
28:06
Speaker 3: just a lot of waste Instead of raising fares, can't
28:09
Speaker 3: you just cut the costs.
28:12
Speaker 2: Of course, you can cut the cost you can make
28:14
Speaker 2: it more efficient and you make it work for people.
28:18
Speaker 2: There's something going on here that you know, basically is
28:23
Speaker 2: a scam. The MTA gets three revenue sources lotly four.
28:29
Speaker 2: They get federal money, they get money from sales tax revenue,
28:34
Speaker 2: they get money from employer ay roll taxes. And they
28:40
Speaker 2: have the revenue streams in addition to their fares, and
28:44
Speaker 2: they're always broke. They have a system that's broken. They
28:51
Speaker 2: have railroad stations here on Long Island that are falling
28:54
Speaker 2: into terrible disrepair. Nobody's riding the subways because unsafe. They
29:00
Speaker 2: want to cut back on things like having two conductors
29:04
Speaker 2: on a subway train, when two conductors on a subway
29:07
Speaker 2: train would bring more people into the subways because they
29:12
Speaker 2: would feel safer. And they don't invest in their equipment.
29:17
Speaker 2: They don't invest in their railroad and subway stations. And
29:21
Speaker 2: they are bloated bureaucracy with these big revenue streams, and
29:25
Speaker 2: where does the money go. And Governor Hopell can't explain
29:29
Speaker 2: that it's her job to make sure that our transportation
29:33
Speaker 2: system runs efficiently. But people don't want to go on
29:36
Speaker 2: the subways because they're not safe. People out on Long
29:39
Speaker 2: Island or in the Hudson Valley, they don't want to
29:42
Speaker 2: use the railroads because the stations are falling into terrible disrepair.
29:47
Speaker 2: And we have to have a governor who understands transportation
29:51
Speaker 2: like I do, understands that you have to market these
29:55
Speaker 2: transportation sources. They have to be safe, they have to
29:58
Speaker 2: be clean, they have to be in inviting to people.
30:01
Speaker 2: Otherwise people are just going to get in their car,
30:03
Speaker 2: and that's why we have a traffic problem the way
30:05
Speaker 2: we do in the metropolitan area.
30:07
Speaker 3: And Bruce Blakeman has done all this stuff, and Nasau
30:09
Speaker 3: County has been it's basically being a governor when you're
30:11
Speaker 3: a county executive. And he's cleaned up everything, crime and budget,
30:16
Speaker 3: all that stuff. Now we only got like a minute left.
30:18
Speaker 3: What a chance does the Republican have to win? What
30:21
Speaker 3: was the demographic makeup and party makeup of the state.
30:25
Speaker 2: Yes, so I won reelection in a county that's larger
30:29
Speaker 2: than eight to ten states. In population with one hundred
30:32
Speaker 2: and ten thousand more Democrats, which meets in order for
30:36
Speaker 2: me to win, I have to depend on not just
30:38
Speaker 2: Republican and conservative voters, but independent voters and crossover Democrats,
30:45
Speaker 2: what I call common sense Democrats. We want in the
30:48
Speaker 2: landslide and the last election because we built a coalition
30:52
Speaker 2: not based on what we disagree upon, but what we
30:54
Speaker 2: agree upon. Everybody wants safer communities, everybody wants more jobs.
30:58
Speaker 2: Everybody wants more or pay. Everybody wants better benefits and healthcare,
31:03
Speaker 2: and they're not getting it from our date. So they
31:07
Speaker 2: like what I've done here in Nassau County. It's the
31:09
Speaker 2: safeties county in America. Each magazine said we're the most
31:12
Speaker 2: desirable place to live in New York State. I can
31:15
Speaker 2: take those principles and bring it statewide, including the City
31:19
Speaker 2: of New York, and make it an affordable place to live,
31:23
Speaker 2: place where you're safer, and a place where your kids
31:26
Speaker 2: and your grandchildren are going to want to stay here
31:28
Speaker 2: and raise there here.
31:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
31:30
Speaker 3: Well, Bruce Blakeman would be a great governor. I can't
31:33
Speaker 3: think of anybody better for it. If you want to help,
31:35
Speaker 3: and you should go to blakemanfro new York dot com.
31:38
Speaker 3: You want to donate, volunteer, whatever you want to do,
31:41
Speaker 3: go to Blakeman for New York dot com. Bruce Blakeman,
31:45
Speaker 3: good luck, congratulations on winning the last election, and I'll
31:48
Speaker 3: see on Monday.
31:50
Speaker 2: Mark, thank you so much.
31:51
Speaker 5: Happy New Year. Make God bless you all right, Mike,
31:53
Speaker 5: thanks for being with us. Take care.
31:55
Speaker 3: That's a Bruce Blakeman who I think I know. He
31:59
Speaker 3: should be the government. He will be the next governor
32:02
Speaker 3: of New York. Hey, don't forget tonight Jimmy Fayla excellent show.
32:06
Speaker 5: Have you heard it?
32:07
Speaker 3: If not, you should start listening nine to midnight. It's
32:09
Speaker 3: great every night here on seven to ten wor.
32:14
Speaker 9: Marximone on sevent ten WR.
32:19
Speaker 3: Well, it's Friday, end of the week, so this weekend
32:23
Speaker 3: you can already see the Sunday shows. It'll be all
32:25
Speaker 3: over Ice murdering people left and right. The media trying
32:28
Speaker 3: to spin that every which way they can. So Vice
32:31
Speaker 3: President Vance did a press conference yesterday where he talked
32:34
Speaker 3: about that.
32:35
Speaker 9: What is I'm sorry, guys, what's going on here? You
32:39
Speaker 9: guys are meant to report the truth. How have you
32:42
Speaker 9: let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe.
32:47
Speaker 5: That's making it harder for us to enforce our laws.
32:49
Speaker 9: You just asked me a question that presumed that the
32:52
Speaker 9: reason why this woman died is because she was engaged
32:55
Speaker 9: in legitimate protest. She tried to run somebody over with
32:58
Speaker 9: her car, and the guy defended himself when that happened.
33:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
33:01
Speaker 3: Now, once again, let me repeat. If you talk to
33:03
Speaker 3: the top finest people in law enforcement off the record,
33:07
Speaker 3: they've all kind of said the same thing to me.
33:09
Speaker 3: The shooting is justified, it's legal. But they also said
33:16
Speaker 3: you didn't have to fire those shots. I mean, you
33:18
Speaker 3: can legally, and it's borderline, but a really, really, really
33:24
Speaker 3: good cop might have even though he got out of
33:27
Speaker 3: the way of the car. Just let it go. We'll
33:30
Speaker 3: catch her later. But if you do fire, it's totally
33:33
Speaker 3: legal and justified. He was in front of the car.
33:36
Speaker 3: They don't show you the videos from the front where
33:38
Speaker 3: you see the car hit him.
33:40
Speaker 5: You see the videos where.
33:41
Speaker 3: He's on the side firing into the side. But if
33:43
Speaker 3: you watch the video, it's up on my Twitter if
33:44
