  Speaker 1: Mister New York marks them upon seven to ten WR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll get to Mom, Donnie and more coming up
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: this hour. Leticia James, who's facing serious criminal charges James Comy,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: facing serious criminal charges, are now in court trying to
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: get the US attorney disqualified. Lawyers for Comy and Leticia
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: James are arguing today the criminal cases against them should
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: be tossed because President Trump's hand picked prosecutor is illegitimate. Illegitimate,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: they say, Now, of course, this makes absolutely no sense.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: They're claiming they've been targeted by Trump because of their
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: past investigations into Trump. Well they're claiming, So that's not
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: going to work. If they're claiming they've been targeted because
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: they targeted him, that doesn't hold up, doesn't pass the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Laft test. They both pled not guilty, and they'll try
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to it said, this is a pretty good indication that
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: they don't have a strong defense. If they're trying to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: get the prosecutor removed, trying to claim they are political
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: targets rather than argue the case, it means it's a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: pretty good case against them. So Zorin Mamdani is back
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: from Puerto Rico, where he was at that democratic. I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: don't know what you call that thing. It's a conference
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: after every election all the Democrats in New York State,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: they head to Puerto Rico for conference. But as Curtis
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: would call it, whining, dining, pocket lining. All the lobbyists
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: happened to be there at the same time, all the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: special interest groups happen to be there at the same time.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So you do the math. But Mamdanni is back. He's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: got a chief of staff who's a crazy socialist. He's
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: got a first deputy mayor. That's the most important thing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: First deputy mayor is the guy that actually runs or
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: gal or guy or runs city hall. Adams had a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: woman first deputy mayor, but the current one is Dean
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: full full Land. He was Deblasio's first deputy mayor for
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: years and years and years. Now there's four other people
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that have already been chosen that are from the Deblasio administration.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So it looks like you're going to get pretty much
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: what you got during the Deblasio administration, which was not good.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: But we got through it all right. I mean, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you remember those eight years. It was eight years of Deblasio.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Crime went up a little and went up in certain neighborhoods,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and there were problems here and there, but we got
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: through it just fine. And now the only problem is
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you got a crazy city council. The election was not
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: good city council wise. You got more wacko left wing
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: kooks than the city council, just as you have in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the state legislature. And the problem is this Mam donnie
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: first Deputy Mayor Dean Fullane. One of the reasons he
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: might have been chosen. He's a big guy with the legislature.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He's the most connected, plugged in guy with that legislature
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: up there in Albany. So if they want to get
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: some tax increases or something past, this guy's got a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: good shot at getting it done. So that's the only
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: big problem with this guy. Now, the free buses all
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that stuff, of course, that was just silly and people
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: fell for it, Mam Donnie promising free buses. The mayor
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: has absolutely no control over the buses. They're run by
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the state, by the MTA. Mayor has nothing to say
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: about it. Hockel said, you can't just take away this revenue.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: We need it. She's not going to do it. Now.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: You got to always be mad at Kathy Hockle, who's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: always screwing in you up. If she was going to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: tell people that you can't have the free buses, it's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. Why didn't she tell us during
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the campaign. Why did she wait till after the election? Well,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: because it's you know, that's what a hack Democrat does.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Mom Downey was asked about this, But you're not going
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to get the free buses.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think the governor and I share a belief that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in making buses free, we have to replace the revenue
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for the MTA. We cannot simply demand that they do
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: so without covering the amount of money they would raise
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: from fairs. And that's the cost of about seven hundred
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if you're not going to get rid of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the fair, you're going to have to replace it. With
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it all comes down, you're going to have to pay
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: seven hundred million one way or another. Will he meet
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: with Trump?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Do you plan to call President Trump? I will be
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: reaching out to the White House and as we prepare
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to actually take office, because this is a relationship that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: will be critical to the success. So it wasn't just
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a hypothetical scenario on our debate stage, they're actually going
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to call him, what will you say? Well, I'll say
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that I'm here to work for the benefit of everyone
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that calls the city home, and that wherever there is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a possibility for working together towards that end, I'm ready,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and if it's to the expense of those New Yorkers,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I will find it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, now what does that mean? He won't call Trump.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He'll call the White House. He'll get some kind of meeting.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Most likely he'll be Chief of Staff Susie Wilds. She'll
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: meet with him. Then they'll see how that goes. If
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: it goes really well, maybe maybe there'll be a phone
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: call between the Trump and Mom Donnie. I doubt there'll
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: be a meeting because I don't think either of I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: don't think either one of them wants a picture with
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the other guy. It's not going to help Mom Donnie
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to have a picture of Trump, certainly not going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: help Trump have a picture of Mom Donnie. But you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: never know. As he's meeting with Susie Wiles, you never
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: know what Trump will do. He might just pop into
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the room. Ah, there he is, my little communist. He
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: might try to come in and win him over. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I think they'll let somebody meet with him first and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: see how it goes. Now, will he keep jessicat tiss?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: She was asked about this again.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: No, I continue to be confident in the decision I've
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: made to retain her, and I look forward to the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: conversation that we have. And the reason for my confidence
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: is that I see, amidst whatever disagreement there may be,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: there is a common shared goal of delivering on public safety.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And even earlier when you were asking me about the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: potential of the National Guard, you know, the Police Commissioner
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: said very clearly, we do not need the National Guard
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in New York City. The NYPD is here to create
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that public safety and working together to deliver on her
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: record of reducing crime and accompanying that record with the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: creation of a Department of Community Safety, these are the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: things that excite me. In now.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It was pretty clear he didn't say, well, I might
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: keep her.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, I continue to be confident in
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the decision I've made to retain her.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Now that's pretty specific. I've made the decision to retain her,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: so that means she's staying. However, you got to put
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a big asterisk on this, she's the police commissioner. If
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: he interferes with her, she'll leave. And also there's a
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: deputy mayor that's called the Deputy Mayor of Public Safety.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: That deputy mayor oversees the police commissioner. So if he
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: puts the wrong person in there, who Jessica Tish does
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: not want to work for or take orders from, then
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: she'll leave. So he says he's made the decision to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: retain her, but there's things he could do that would
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: make he knows would make her leave, make her quit.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And she's one police commissioner that does not need the job,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: does not need the job. She could leave at any time.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So as far as the police.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: When we're talking about a response time that's closer to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: sixteen minutes than when just five years ago it was
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: closer to ten. That is also something that is related
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to us asking police officers to respond to nearly every
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: crisis we can think of. And it's time that we
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: understand the retention crisis is being related to a crisis
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: where we're asking police officers to respond to homelessness, to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: mental health calls. It's time to actually allow them to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: be police officers.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Now, we talked very fast, and he talks about a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: retention crisis in relation to the retention crisis and the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: relation of and you don't always know what he's saying.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But I don't know what Ellie just said. He's still
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: on this idea of And first of all, did he
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: say response time is sixteen minutes? That's a long time.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I was watching Blue Bloods last night. A guy a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: woman called, there's a man with a gun, but we'll
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: be there in about sixteen minutes. It was more like
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: sixteen seconds on TV. But he's still on this idea
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: that you don't waste police responding to domestic violence calls now,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: as cops will tell you, those can be the most
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: dangerous of all those domestic violence calls. That's where you
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: get there's real physical danger. You got a raging maniac
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: husband with a gun and knife. You can't have social
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: workers going there. And the important thing to remember, the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: NYPD has tried this about four different times over the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: last thirty years. They've tried it. It doesn't work. Social
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: workers end up getting injured killed. First of all, the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: social workers won't do it. They will not go on
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: these calls because they've seen what's happened in the past,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and they've all said they won't do it unless the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: police come with them. So if the police are there,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you don't need the social worker. But it's not going
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to work his mom Downie on Hoko.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I look forward to the relationship that we're
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: building to serve common set of constituents. New York is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: being plans to change her mind on buses. I'm excited,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: just as I was in October twenty third about making
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: buses fast and free.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Fast and free. Right, How are you gonna make the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: buses fast? How do you do that? They're stuck in traffic.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: They can't go any faster than the cars in front
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of them. I don't know what he's talking about. You
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: know who hit out during the whole election, Kirsten Gillibrand
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: do you remember her? Jilibrand anybody who remember her. She's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the other senator in New York. You never see her.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You know. Schumer is scheming and scamming to get on
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: every TV show he can. She's in hiding. She's in
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: witness protection. Nobody ever sees her. During the whole election.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: She was in hiding, did not want to talk about it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But she was asked about Mom Donnie.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I mean to make sure that I protect this city,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: protect the mayor and the governor from whatever assault President
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Trump tries to put on the people of New York City,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: and we will stand united to fight against whatever President
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Trump throws at us.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to protect I'm going to protect you. I
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: thought she was talking about against Mom Donnie. It's against Trump.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: So she's kind of useless. You know, Schumer on the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: way out, he'll be gone pretty soon, if not from
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: if not stepping down from the Senate, he'll he'll definitely
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: not be the minority leader anymore. He's been doing that
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: fake Sunday press conference for years and years and years
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: and years. It's an old trick from the seventies, eighties, nineties.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work anymore, but he hasn't figured that out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: In the good old days, on Sunday, nothing happened. There
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: was no news, nothing happened, and Sunday night they still
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: had to do a six o'clock news and eleven o'clock news,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and the newspaper still had to put stories and so
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: nothing was happening. So Schumer would do this press conference
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and announce something, and it would get in the paper
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and it would get on the newscasts because nothing else
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: happened on Sunday, they were forced to use it. If
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: he did the press conference any other day of the week,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't even pay attention, it wouldn't even show up.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But it worked for years. But it doesn't mean anything anymore.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: There's media twenty four to seven, seven days a week.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Media is going NonStop, even if it's Twitter, even if
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: it's online, even if it's social media. So the Sunday
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: press conference means nothing. Oh yeah, you'll still get on
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the six o'clock and eleven o'clock news, but nobody watches
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that anymore. Local TV viewership is down like ninety percent
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: over the years, so it's kind of pointless to keep
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: doing that Sunday press conference. Hey, Bruce Blakeman definitely is
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: considering running for governor. He's the best county executive in America.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: He'd be a great governor. Who we had to pick
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: one person to be the governor of New York, He's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the perfect pick. I like Alis Stefanic, but Blakeman would
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: be better. He's a governor now, he's the governor of
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Nassau County. He does a great job. She's a legislator.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But he's going to do a tour of upstate New York.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: He's going to actually first he's going to do I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: think Albany, Westchester, Yeah, Hudson Valley. He'll go up there,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: tour the place, speak to voters, do some events. Then
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: he'll go up to the North Country, which is where
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: at least is from. And then he might be saying, well,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that's a little pushy. No, No, it's a smart thing
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to do. It's a very smart thing to do. He
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: just want a big reelection victory, very convincing, a re
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: election victory twelve points, won by twelve points. But if
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you're not sure should he run for governor? Could he win?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: A smart executive. If you're not sure, you go test it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: You go test the waters. You go upstate and talk
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: to voters and meet with them, and see how you
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: get along with them, see how they get along with you,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: see what the reaction is to you that if you're
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: going to make a decision, And that's what a good
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: manager does, go go test the waters, go there, feel
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: it out. So that's what he's going to do. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: he's said he'll make a decision in the coming months.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I think he had to decide by February. The Republican
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: State Convention is in February, said, I'm looking forward to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: meeting people up there, hearing from them, seeing what we
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: can do. Smart thing to do. Now, Blakeman something would
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: be the underdog because Stephanic is better known for the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Republican primary and a state. Also, she's got a lot
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of support from GOP officials, the donors like her. Republican
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Party Chairman Ed Cox likes her. But now, I mean,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: she'd be great. We love Alistafanic. Blateman would actually be
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a better governor. But we'll see what happens. Jack Schlossberg
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: he's the latest really disastrous Democratic candidate. He's the grandson
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: of JFK. He's the son of Caroline Kennedy. He's a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: real whacko. You're going to start seeing the videos all
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: over the place that he's put on YouTube. They are
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I think I have one on my Twitter, Yeah, go
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: check that out, or his TikTok, his Instagram. Just a
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: complete creepy, weirdo wacko. And a lot of people point
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: out he's had some weird fixation on JD Fans's wife Usha,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: making creepy comments about her. And there was one time
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: where even he did a poll on his Twitter Who's hotter,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Whosha vants or Jackie Oh, which was kind of strange
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to people. Is Jackie Oh? Jacqueline on Nassis is his grandmother?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Who does a poll on how hot his grandmother? Is
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: very very weird then, I mean, he's just had a
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: series of wacko, ludicrous tweets and posts. There was one
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: where he claimed Alan Dershowitz murdered his wife yeah in February,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: or ranting ridiculous and accusing Alan Dershwitz of killing his
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: own wife. Dershowitz threatened a defamation lawsuit against him. There
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: was another series where Schlosberg shared naked pictures of himself
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: as a kid. I mean, he's just a complete nutjob,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: wacko sleeves Paul. There's another one where he talked about
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: his recipe for jew blood. His words, jew blood. The
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: recipe includes two ounces of jew blood Ashkenazi, not Sephardic,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: four cups of male well, I don't want to say
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the word baked at three hundred degrees until totally dry
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: like your wife. This is Jack Schlosberg now, he's running
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: these ads online as he wants to run for Jerry
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Nadler's seat. And in the ads he's dressed nicely and
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: he speaks very properly, and he says, I want to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: do what I can to hold him. You can be
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: very formal now, but the Internet is forever and all
• 15:21
