Hour 3: Working with ICE agents. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now, Mark Simone on 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Well,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. We'll talk with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman about the governor's race and the debate coming
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: up on Tuesday. We'll take a look at a lot
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Now, this ICE shooting, let's just clear up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff here. ICE is in New York
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: last night, yesterday, and here's the problem. The Department of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security has asked local police everywhere to cooperate with ICE.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: If ICE has to come in and arrest people, it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the position of the Trump administration. They would prefer that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the illegals just be turned over to ICE peacefully. For instance,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in New York City jails, we have 15,000 illegals who
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: are also criminals. That's why they're in jail. They've committed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: crimes and they're here illegally. ICE has asked that New
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: York City turn them over, peacefully turn over these prisoners
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to ICE so they could be deported. If you're here illegally,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you should be deported. If you're here illegally and you're
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a criminal, of course you should be deported. And that's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration policy when it comes to deportation. They
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: want to first and foremost just go after criminals, illegal
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: criminals committing crimes, rape, robbery, gang members, that sort of stuff.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that are here illegally, deport them. And they've been doing that.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: They've done 500,000 already. 500,000 of these criminals have been deported.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: That's one reason the crime numbers keep coming down all
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: over America. All these different cities, crime has dropped. Yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that's why, because they've taken these illegal who are committing crimes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You've gotten, just here in New York, they've gotten a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: couple thousand criminals out of here. Now, they've arrested 500,000
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of these criminals off the streets, 500,000. Out of these 500,000,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: there've been about three of these incidents where they had
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to shoot somebody. Three out of 500,000. It's a pretty
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: good record. So what happened with this guy yesterday, he's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: an illegal, he's gang affiliated, he's got some crimes, he's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: got a rap sheet, but it's New York, so even
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: though he confessed that he was guilty on the last robbery,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They gave him probation. They didn't put him in jail.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They let him run around the streets. So he's got
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a kid in the car. It's believed it's his child,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a five-year-old. Here's what we know. Forget all the yelling
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and screaming and grandstanding. This is what we know. We
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: have surveillance cameras all over the streets of New York.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You can see on the surveillance camera that this guy's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: driving with the kid in his car, and he sees
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a parking space, and he backs up trying to pull
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: into this parking space. And as he's pulling in, ICE
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: agents approach the car. One on the driver's side, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: then one comes from the passenger's side. Now, this is
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a criminal with a rap sheet, and he's a criminal
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: who's been approached by ICE before. ICE has tried to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: detain him before. So a lot of times when you've
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: got a real career criminal who's had run-ins with the police,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: they don't want to get arrested again, He's also on probation,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: which would send him to prison. So he sees the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: ICE agents approach. They're undercover, but, you know, he assumes
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: they're cops. And this is what you can see on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the surveillance camera. As they approach his car, as he's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: trying to pull into the space, he sees them and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he pulls out of the space, trying to speed away
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: from them. Well, unfortunately, that's where it goes out of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: camera range and there isn't another surveillance camera on the street.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So that's what the police commissioner has confirmed. On the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: New York City cameras, you can see as ICE agents approach,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he pulls away. Now, what the Department of Homeland Security
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is saying, and they say they have body cameras that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: show this. They haven't released it yet, but they say
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they will release it later. They want the investigation to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: take place first. And then they said they will release
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the body camera footage. So if they release it and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: their story holds up with the body cam footage, Then
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that's it. Case closed. Shooting justified. What they're saying is,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: as the guy tried to speed away with his car,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: there were other ICE agents in cars, and they tried
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to box him in so he couldn't get away. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: then apparently he rammed his car into these law enforcement cars.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: He rammed his car into theirs and then tried to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: run over some police officers, some ICE agents who were
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: standing there. Not in cars, but standing on the street.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He tried to run them over. Well, if this is
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the case, they're saying that's what happened. If the body
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: cam footage backs it up, then that's it. Justified shooting. Absolutely,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: thousand percent justified. So we're just waiting to see that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: body cam footage. I would assume it's all true, because
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: why would the Secretary of Homeland Security say all this,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: release all this, if he couldn't back it up? So
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we're just waiting for that body cam footage. And that's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the end of the matter. Despite the grandstanding, despite Mamdani.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: New York City will not stand by while ICE agents
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: shoot New Yorkers. And we will not back down from
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: time and again. This is an agency that must be abolished.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're not shooting New Yorkers. No New Yorkers are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: targets of ICE. They're going after illegals. who are not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: supposed to be here, illegals, and only after illegals have
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: committed crimes and are gang-affiliated or have rap sheets. And now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: after this, Mamdani goes into a rage, grandstanding like crazy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He says he was on the phone. Listen to this.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: For the past two hours, I have been on the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullen, negotiating the release
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's the real story. He was on the phone
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: with Mullen and the Department of Homeland Security for two hours. Yes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the president talked to him, but that was five minutes
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of the two hours. Now, here's the problem. When he
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: demanded the release of this guy, the Trump administration agreed
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to release the guy. They said they would release him
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to the NYPD, you know, as long as the NYPD
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would hold the guy in custody. That's not what Mamdani
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: was asking for. Mamdani demanded the guy be released back
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: into the streets. Dangerous criminal. He wanted him released back
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: into the streets. This is obviously irrational, obviously reckless, stupid. Now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the ICE agents fired at the car. Apparently, they fired
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: seven shots. Only one went through the windshield. You can
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: see one bullet hole, and it hit this illegal. in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the neck. He was taken to the hospital. Apparently, he
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: was not badly hurt, not too badly hurt, because they
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: released him. Hours later, they released him. So, that was
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: what Mamdani was demanding. He was demanding they let this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: guy go, let him back into the streets. This criminal
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: with the rap sheet, this is typical Mamdani. Criminal, career criminal,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: gang affiliations, let him roam the streets. That's what Mamdani
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was fighting for. Now, One reason he might be grandstanding
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like crazy, this is October 8th yesterday. October 7th, Mamdani
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: got himself into a lot of trouble. Mamdani crossed a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: line on October 7th. He's openly anti-Semitic, very anti-Israel, but
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to the point where it's obvious anti-Semitism. You know, if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you hate Israel, the country, for some reason, that's one thing.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You lay out exactly what you don't want them to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: do And you try to get them to stop doing something.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: If you want Israel gone, abolished, then you're anti-Semitic. You know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they keep saying, I'm just anti-Israel. You can't separate the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: two completely. Every ethnic group has a homeland, a country.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The French have a country. It's called France. Germany has
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a country. It's called Germany. The Brits have a country.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's called the UK, England. To say that one ethnic group,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the Jews, can't have a homeland... It's absolute anti-Semitism. Of
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: course they have to have a homeland. Of course they
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: should have a homeland. Of course they should have a country.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So it's real anti-Semitism. But October 7th, he pretended to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: be somewhat supportive of the Jews by going to this vigil,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: this candlelight vigil for those killed on October 7th. But
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: then he published online the most disgusting, vile, anti-Semitic, stuff
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: against Jews, against Israel. It was just horrifying. And the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: reason I say he crossed the line, there were people
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that were defending him on his anti-Semitism. You know, even
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: political commentators, you know, Mark Halpern, who, this guy's all
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: over the map, but even he always defended Mamdani. He said,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's not fond of Jews, but you're
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: throwing the anti-Semitism word around too much. He was defending.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: There are people like that. Well, after October 7th, they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: all came out publicly and said, I was wrong. This
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: guy is an anti-Semite. So some of the people, even
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: some of the Democrats who were defending Mamdani after October
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: 7th and what he published said, to do this, to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: publish this anytime is horrible. To do it on October
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: 7th is absolutely an outrage. So even a lot of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the people defending Mandani turned on him. They said he
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: clearly is deeply, deeply anti-Semitic. So he went too far. Now,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the problem is he was trying to play both sides
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of the aisle, the Jews, the Jew haters, but he
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: ended up getting them all mad at him. Jews were
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: jeering him.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: He's mad!
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And then his anti-Semitic base, well, they were mad at
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: him too for going to the vigil. So clearly he
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: crossed the line, really crossed the line and lost both sides.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: So that's why when this ice shooting happened, I think
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: he went crazy trying to grandstand off it. Hey, now
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: there's another problem here. Mamdani appointed all these crazies into
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: all these departments here. He's got a new transportation secretary.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You know, they always get this war on cars. First,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: they put in bike lanes. Then there's certain Bloomberg was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: guilty of this, this war on cars. Made a pedestrian
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: plaza right in the middle of Times Square. No cars.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Herald Square. It's just ridiculous. You look out the window here,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: 6th Avenue.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Used to be like a five-lane street. Now it's two
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: lanes of bike lanes. It's another bike lane. It's a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: pedicab lane. It's an electric scooter lane. Maybe there's one
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: lane for cars. It's ridiculous. So they screwed up the streets.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They're trying to stop, you know, make more. They want
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to do more pedestrian plazas. But listen to this. Mondani's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: transportation boss. They're really trying to win this war on cars.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: They're going to go after parking spaces. They're going to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: go after parking. The Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: told an audience that car owners are wealthy elitists and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: we should go after them. He said car owning is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a burden for the lower income. He's going to target parking.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: He said it's a giveaway. So I guess they're going
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to go after the parking spaces and make it impossible
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to park. They'll do anything to get these cars to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: go away. Now, If you park in a garage in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: New York or you live in a building where you've
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: got a garage, they can try to go after the garages.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That's tough, though, because all these, the garage, like the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: one over there, they rent it from the building. The
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: building is the landlord, not the city. But you'll see
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the city. There are municipal lots. You'll see them probably
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: go after those. They're trying to do this. Now, how
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: many people own cars? Staten Island, 85% have cars. Queens, 63%
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: have cars. This is the majority in Queens and Staten Island. Brooklyn,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it's 45%, about half. The Bronx, it's 40%. Manhattan, just 23%
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: have cars. But there are some Democrats saying this is ridiculous,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: punishing drivers by making commuting harder. It doesn't force people
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: onto bikes in public transit. It just puts an incredible
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: burden on them. You know, a lot of people are
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: using cars because they need to use a car for
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: one reason or another. And as another person pointed out,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: transportation is not up to one person. Everybody should have choices.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You know, where's your freedom of choice? You want to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: have a car? You want to have a bike? It
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: should be a matter of choice, not the government telling
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you how you're allowed to get around. Absolutely ridiculous. Hey,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: anybody tells you New York is dying? Not the case.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Manhattan rent. You know, the rental market's going crazy in Manhattan.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: People are moving here like crazy. Go try to rent
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: an apartment. You can't do it right now. And if
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you can, you can find one. The rent is at
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: an all-time high. Rent average now is $ 6, 800 a month.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: $ 6, 800 a month. Manhattan rent's going crazy. Brooklyn has logged
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the busiest September. In six years, people coming to New
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: York more than ever. Vacancy rate is now 1.5%. Fifth
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: consecutive year. That's really low. That's incredibly low. That's because
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the vacancy rate is minuscule and there's no inventory. Inventory
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: has now declined year over year for two straight years.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So rental going crazy right now. which means people are
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: moving here. And remember, people come, all the people renting,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: all these people come and rent. Many of them will
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: start to buy next year. A lot of people who
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: are renting are trying out a place, a city. And
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: then if they like it a year, two years, they
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: decide to buy. So when the rental market goes crazy,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: it means the buying market will go crazy next year
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and the year after. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number. Give me a call, especially if
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you're a new caller.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Now 9 till noon weekdays.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Mark Simone.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Only on 710WOR. Hey, in Huntington, Long Island, there's a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: great Italian restaurant, Posto Pozzo. I love this place. It's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: owned by two brothers, Joey Patron, Luigi Patron. Luigi sends
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: me a note here. He's in Starbucks this morning. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: there's these kids yelling and screaming about the price of gas.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It's $ 4 a gallon. They can't believe it. Outrage, it's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: $ 4 a gallon. He then watches them pay $ 7. 50 for
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a coffee, $ 7. 50 for some fancy coffee, 20 ounces. So
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: he figured it out. If you bought Starbucks by the gallon,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it's $ 42 a gallon. So they're outraged. Gas is $ 4
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a gallon. but they don't mind paying $ 42 a gallon
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: for a Starbucks. Speaking of Huntington, let's go to Eddie
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in Huntington. Eddie, how you doing?
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Mark. Just in regards to that shooting
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: with ice, I don't know what the federal guidelines are,
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: but I was in the police department 36 years. And
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: the only time we could shoot a vehicle coming out
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: of it, if they were using something, a deadly physical
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: force other than the vehicle, we couldn't get out of
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: the way. So in other words, If they had a
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: gun and they were shooting at us, we could fire back.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: But if they were coming at us with just a vehicle,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: we'd have to try and move.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you try and move. Where are you a cop?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: New York City?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, 36 years. And the other issue for us was
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: if you're fighting that vehicle, you killed a guy. What's
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: going to happen to the vehicle after he's dead? Run
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: into a store, a bunch of old ladies. So hopefully
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: that video shows that those officers couldn't get out of
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: the way.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That would be the issue, I think. All right. Good point.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Good point. We'll see. Now, DHS says they will release
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the body cam video and that we'll see it. Let's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: go to Phil, Suffolk County. Phil, how are you doing?
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Hello, Mark.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Thanks for taking my call. Anybody who saw that Michigan
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: Senate debate between Ayed and Rogers, Rogers accounted himself very well.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: He tied... Syed to, you know, Hamas and Hezbollah. And, well,
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Syed is a little, you know, he's eloquent, but Ed
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Rollins must have a soft spot in his head to
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: not agree that Rogers is going to win.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Well, right now it's neck and neck. He did very
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: well in the debate. Here's Rogers.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: What my friend here just wants to do is he's
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: kind of like a glitchy AI chatbot is say the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: same thing over and over and over again. But let
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: me tell you this. He has taken money. from groups
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: associated and support the Muslim Brotherhood. He has taken money
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: from individuals on his campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now there's a lot of radical stuff in parts
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: of Michigan, you know, Dearborn, Ann Arbor. But the whole
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: state of Michigan is pretty sane and mostly Midwestern kind
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of conservative. So Rogers most likely will win. Let's go
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to Daniel in Westchester. Daniel, how are you doing?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Hi, Mark.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Everybody should realize the Jews are the indigenous people of
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: the Middle East.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: The Muslims are the invaders.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I keep forgetting to call them that. They are
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the indigenous people in Israel. Indigenous. Democrats love that word.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. Thanks for calling. Marco in New Jersey. Marco,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: what do you want to say?
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I got two things. Hopefully you'll let me say it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: No, give me one. If it's interesting, we might let
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you do a second one.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, so the first one is, is Trump a criminal?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: All right, that's your last one. Thanks for calling. Let's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark. Mark, what the retired NYPD police officer
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: forgot to mention is ICE follows federal guidelines, not New
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: York City, not New York State guidelines. Mark, this is
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: another great talking point. I hope you bring it up
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: with Bruce Blakeman when he comes on. How did this
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: illegal alien get a driver's license, and how was he
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: able to register that car? And here's another thing. When
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I was coming up, real wise guys never traveled with
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: their wife and kids because among wise guys, there was
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: a code of honor. You don't go after each other's
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: wife and kids. So the wise guys never traveled with
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: their wife and kids. If this guy was such a fine,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: upstanding citizen, that man Mondami would... wants to make him
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: out to be, what are you doing with that kid
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: in your car? And when people say, gang affiliated, give
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: me a break. Well, when I was young and you heard, oh,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: this person was affiliated with Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, that
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: meant that they were in the life, Mark. That didn't mean.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess what they mean, you know, you could
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: be a maid mob guy and then you could be
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: what they call an associate, which means they're using you for.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: You go do the dirty work and everything. You're one
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: of the button men and everything.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Block i got sick last night when i'm here in
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: all of these all race-hustling community organizers training and outrage
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: at the new as a lot alike magazine reporter once
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: told me she said the first thing that she did
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: politicians do and she deleted they hide behind the skirts
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: of women and children all and it was a five-year-old
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: child in that car what did that guy happens to
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: be in the copper because He knew he could also
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: have been whacked by another criminal who had it in
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: for him.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Very good points, Vincent. We've got to go for the news,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: but excellent points. Great call, as always. Hey, when we
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk to Bruce Blakeman. He's supposed to be— well,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: we'll see what he's going to be doing today. It
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: might be with President Trump. The debate's coming up Tuesday.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: We'll ask him about all this next on 710WOR. The
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Well,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman would be the perfect governor for New York.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: We're all hoping and praying that he wins. Now, it's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: not too late to help his campaign. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Donate, volunteer,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: whatever you can do. BlakemanForNewYork.com. Bruce Blakeman, how you doing?
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Mark, it's always a pleasure to be with you. I'm
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: doing great.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you this first. Kathy Hochul has
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: been spending millions of dollars on attack ads against you.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: She's running them 24-7. That usually indicates panic on her part.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Has she looked at the internal polling? Is that why
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: she's doing this?
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Well, according to my friends in the Democratic Party, her
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: hair is on fire because we're in a virtual dead heat.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: She never expected to be in that position. She wants
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: to talk about everything but her record because it's a
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: record of misery and failure. Think about it. The highest
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: taxed state in America. utility bill 70% higher than the
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: national average, and she's the most pro-criminal governor in the
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: United States of America. Mark, she doesn't want to talk
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: about her record because she's made everybody miserable.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, to do these attack ads, they had to do
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: all kinds of opposition research on you, and apparently the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: only thing they found is you're friends with Donald Trump.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: It's quite a compliment that that's all they came up with.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: It's absolutely hysterical because All she says is Trump, Trump, Trump, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA. Look,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump's a friend of mine. But if there's anything
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: about me that I've demonstrated throughout the years is that
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I make my own decisions. I don't take orders from anybody.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: I work for you, the taxpayers. That's who I'm beholden to.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: So she can say whatever she wants. But the fact
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: of the matter is I have a record of cutting taxes. U.S.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: News and World Report said we have the safest county
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: in America. And Kathy Hochul doesn't talk about her record
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: because it's one of failure.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, the fact that you're friends with Donald Trump,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that he likes you, wouldn't that mean you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: could get more done for New York, more money, more whatever,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: than she can?
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure it does. And it's always good, whether
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: it's a Republican president or a Democratic president, when the
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: president returns your call and listens to you. So I
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: plan to use my relationship with the president to get
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: more for New York, to get our fair share, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: to make sure that we restore our economy here in
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: New York. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: in the last year. Hundreds of thousands of people are leaving.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: It's just a death spiral right now, Mark, and we've
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: got to pull out of that death spiral. And I
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: can assure you, I'm the pilot that can pull us
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: out of that death spiral.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Well, you've done it for Nassau County. You're considered the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: best county executive in America. That's basically the same job
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: as governor. Hey, the president's schedule has him in Syracuse
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: later today. Are you going to Syracuse?
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: I'm on my way to the airport right now.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So that'll be good. So you're going to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: campaign with him?
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going to have a rally in Syracuse. The
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: people in upstate New York are very excited. They rarely
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: get a visit from the president of the United States,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: so this is very special to them. And you know, Mark,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Kathy Hochul likes to portray me as this right-wing extremist.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: You know, I've been endorsed by liberal Democrats because they
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: know I'm a common-sense person, that I'm a reasonable person.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, Debra Messing is a Democrat, liberal. She's an actress.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: She never supports Republicans. She endorsed me. Bonnie Lautenberg, the
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: widow of Senator Frank Lautenberg. Frank Lautenberg was... a pillar
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: of the Democratic Party in the United States Senate. His widow,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: a Democrat, a liberal, is endorsing me for governor because
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: their party is not liberal anymore. It's insane. They want
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: to become a socialist, anti-Semite, anti-Christian, anti-American party. And my
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: election will actually help the Democratic Party because it'll be
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: the beginning of the end of the DSA.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good point. Hey, Tuesday night is the debate. Kathy
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Hochul has turned down all the real TV stations. She's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: only agreed to New York One. So what do you
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: think will happen Tuesday night?
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm very happy to talk about my record. I'm
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: sure she's not going to talk about her record. And
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: I think we'll have some fun. I think it will
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: be instructive to people who watch or listen. They'll get
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: to know more about me. They'll get to know more
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: about her records. which many of them already know because
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: they tell me they're miserable under Kathy Hochul. So it's
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: a good opportunity. Hopefully it will be about the issues
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: affecting New Yorkers, state issues. Kathy Hochul will try and
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: make it into a food fight. That's not my intention.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: My intention is to talk issues. Yeah.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Now it's New York one, very few viewers. The other
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: problem is it's the most liberal biased Errol Lewis and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: very nice guy, but very, very left wing. He's going
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to run the debate. That's not a problem. That doesn't
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: bother you, does it? You can handle that.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: It doesn't bother me at all. And probably by the
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: end of the debate, Errol will be voting for me
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: That could be. Hey, the ICE incident yesterday in New York, Mamdani, Tish,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: not Tish, Letitia James, all grandstanding like crazy. What do
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you think will happen with this? It looks like the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: body cam footage will be released.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I think the question has to
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: be asked, what was this guy doing in New York?
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: This is a guy who's a convicted felon. He's an
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: illegal migrant. He's being charged with drug dealing right now.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: He's got another charge for drug dealing and he's got
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: alleged associations with gangs. And he's an illegal migrant. What
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: is he doing in New York? Kathy Hochul's caused this
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: problem by creating us by creating a sanctuary state, which
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: is like a magnet to steel, for every illegal migrant
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: with a criminal record because Kathy Hochul won't let local
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: law enforcement cooperate with ICE. If NYPD was cooperating with ICE,
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: I guarantee you, this probably would never have happened.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, explain, in Nassau County, you've had no problems
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: because you made sure that the local police cooperated with ICE, right?
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: We got out. illegal migrants with criminal records ranging from murder,
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: attempted murder, rape, robbery, burglary, drug dealing, and gang activity.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: We removed them without raiding a school, without raiding a
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: daycare center, without raiding a hospital, without raiding a church.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: It was all smooth and organized and safe. And then
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: Kathy Hochul said, we can't cooperate with ICE anymore. And
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: a 14-year-old girl in Nassau County was raped. by an
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: illegal migrant. Kathy Hochul, you have blood on your hands.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: That is something that should never be tolerated. And yet
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: you allow these people to remain in our state.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Shame on you.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, Bruce Blakeman, you were like 20 points behind now
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: in the latest polling. I'm talking about the real polls,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: not the public ones, the real polls. You're neck and neck.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: You're both within the margin of error. But in this
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: other polling, Apparently, you have the big majority with independents.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? Isn't that the key to winning independents?
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I've consistently had a majority of independent men
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: and women supporting me. You can't believe these woke university polls,
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: many of which are funded by the state. And who
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: controls the state? Kathy Hochul. So you can't believe them.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: We've seen a number of polls that show we're in
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: a statistical dead heat. So I am very confident that
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: if everybody gets out to vote and everybody does their part,
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: that I will be the next governor of the state
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: of New York.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, but I hope you will. We really hope so.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: When they say a Republican can never win, didn't they
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: say that to you in Nassau County, too?
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: And here's the thing. Every day, another Democrat comes up
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: to me and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: never voted for Republicans in my life. I'm voting for
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: you this year. Because people are fed up, number one.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Number two... People say, well, how can a Republican win
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: in a blue state? And I reply, how can Kathy
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Hochul win when her unfavorables are anywhere between 50 to
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: 60 percent of the people think that she's doing a
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: terrible job and don't like her? So I believe those
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: people are going to come out on Election Day and
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: vote for me because they're fed up with her.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Is it really a blue state if you go north
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: of New York City? How blue is it?
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: It ain't very blue north of Westchester, I can tell
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: you that. But listen, even in the blue parts, you know,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Erie County is a blue county. The last poll that
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: was done up there, I didn't do the poll. It's
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: not my poll. The last poll that was done, 45 Blakeman,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: 45 Hochul.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: That's Kathy Hochul's hometown, Buffalo. We're dead even. With 10% undecided,
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: the undecided generally break against the incumbent. We're going to
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: win Erie County. We're going to beat her in Buffalo,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: her hometown. She's booed at Buffalo Bill games.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: All right, Bruce Blakeman. Now, what do you want people
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to do? Your website is BlakemanForNewYork.com. But what would you

• 31:36
  Speaker 5: lot of good people didn't vote in New York City.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: He didn't have a big victory. There was low turnout.

• 32:47
  Speaker 1: noon weekdays.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: 710WOR.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Hey, first hour, we were talking about the Nobel Peace Prize,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: which has no validity at all. It's a left-wing, biased,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: crazy award. And President Trump, you know, saying, I should
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: get it. I settled five wars. I got the hostages released. Well,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: normally that's what you'd get a Nobel Peace Prize for.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But it's a left-wing crazy award. Well, they gave it
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to this idiot from the U.N., Navi Pillay. Now, the
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: president putting up a really tough tweet about the Nobel
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Committee shamed itself beyond repair, demeaned the once great Nobel
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Peace Prize award. by giving it to this hater of
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: America and Israel. And he goes into her background, apparently,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and she's with one of these fake international criminal court,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: fake made-up courts. And he points out, in her position,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: she celebrated terrorists, rewarded Hamas, conducted a phony investigation, claiming
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Israel committed genocide, and urging prosecution of Israel. Well, that's
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: how she got the Nobel Peace Prize. I hate to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: break it to you, but that's the way it works.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: He said, what can you expect from a committee that
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: also gave the Peace Prize to Yasser Arafat? It's a
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: very anti-Semitic award. Anyway, we're out of time. Hey, don't forget,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: if you're a podcast listener, on the weekends, we do
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: an extra show. If you listen to the podcast, some
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: people hear the show that way. They can't listen nine
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to noon. So instead of listening live, they get the podcast. Well,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: if we're one of those podcast listeners... You get a
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: bonus show on the weekends, an extra show that's never
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: on the air. So check it. And you can get
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the show, the podcast, any place you get your podcasts. Otherwise,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: we're on the air 9 to noon, 9 to noon
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: every weekday. I'll be back Monday at 9. Have a
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: great weekend. Take care.
