Speaker 1: Now more Mark Simone on seven ten r.
0:11
Speaker 2: Hey. Luckily it's Friday already, first week of twenty twenty six,
0:15
Speaker 2: done and lots to get to. This hour, we'll get
0:19
Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman. He should be the next governor. We'll
0:22
Speaker 2: talk to him coming up later this hour. Kathy Hochel
0:25
Speaker 2: will look like she will head to the left, far
0:29
Speaker 2: to the left, trying to get the nomination. She's closing
0:32
Speaker 2: up to Mom Donnie. She's somehow decided that to win,
0:37
Speaker 2: she's got to be over there with Mom Donnie, get
0:40
Speaker 2: his support his voters, which might be fine in New
0:43
Speaker 2: York City, but I don't know, you've got a lot
0:45
Speaker 2: of them up state. Remember, Bruce Blakeman just won a
0:47
Speaker 2: big election in Nassau County second time, and if you
0:51
Speaker 2: look at the makeup of Nassau County, it's very similar
0:54
Speaker 2: to the makeup of New York State. Demographics, party, all
0:58
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. So excellent shot. He's far more
1:01
Speaker 2: qualified to be governor than Kathy Hochalist. So we'll talk
1:06
Speaker 2: to him later this hour. By the way, he gets
1:08
Speaker 2: inaugurated for the second term on Monday, big inauguration ceremony.
1:12
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, of course just being Mom Donnie. He's doing
1:17
Speaker 2: lots of interviews. I don't know if he does any work.
1:19
Speaker 2: There's no sign of him actually doing anything as mayor.
1:22
Speaker 2: The good news about Mom Donnie. People have said, I
1:26
Speaker 2: don't want to say who, but they've said a couple
1:29
Speaker 2: of things. One, he doesn't really do anything. It's all talk.
1:33
Speaker 2: He just gets out there and he talks, and he
1:34
Speaker 2: talks a mile a minute, and he does one interview
1:36
Speaker 2: after another, and it's a pointing people, and they talk
1:39
Speaker 2: and he talks and they talk, but nobody ever actually
1:41
Speaker 2: does anything. The other thing is people say they believe
1:45
Speaker 2: he's not a very courageous person. He's basically a kind
1:49
Speaker 2: of a coward. So these big, big controversial things he's proposing,
1:54
Speaker 2: he may never actually pull the trigger on and may
1:56
Speaker 2: never actually do any of them, but he does love
1:59
Speaker 2: to I never saw I do so many interviews. Yesterday
2:03
Speaker 2: he's talking a good morning, good day in New York,
2:06
Speaker 2: Hello Schenectany. He's talking to New York, anywhere and everywhere,
2:11
Speaker 2: talking about 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 2: But again it's just talk. You just get up there
2:29
Speaker 2: and you're talking. For too many years. You talk like this,
2:32
Speaker 2: and you sound like you're making some important point and
2:34
Speaker 2: nobody's listening, and meantime you're getting nothing done. And then
2:38
Speaker 2: of course there's all his left wing stuff.
2:40
Speaker 3: Obviously that's not an opinion that I share.
2:42
Speaker 2: And oh, Alby, you know what this is. This is
2:44
Speaker 2: he appointed this woman to run housing, real left wing cook.
2:49
Speaker 2: Now you just have to accept this. Mondani is basically
2:52
Speaker 2: the third term of Deblasio, and it's the same as Deblasi.
2:56
Speaker 2: You point a bunch of left wing cooks who just
2:59
Speaker 2: say left wing cookie things, and everybody looks at their
3:01
Speaker 2: Twitter from three years ago and they can't believe the
3:03
Speaker 2: things that they said. And this woman he appointed to
3:06
Speaker 2: run housing. You go back and look at her Twitter.
3:08
Speaker 2: I think she took it down a couple of days ago,
3:11
Speaker 2: but when people looked at her Twitter from two years ago,
3:13
Speaker 2: three years ago, she's tweeting all kinds of nonsense. She said,
3:16
Speaker 2: owning a home is white supremacy. Nobody should be allowed
3:20
Speaker 2: to have private property. I mean, all this Unamerican nonsense,
3:24
Speaker 2: crazy stuff. So Mom Donnie was asked about her.
3:26
Speaker 3: Obviously, that's not an opinion that I share. And I
3:29
Speaker 3: made the decision to have her as our executive director
3:31
Speaker 3: of the Mayor's Office to protect tenants, not because of
3:34
Speaker 3: her comments, but because of her work. She is someone
3:36
Speaker 3: who has won significant victories for tenants, not just in
3:39
Speaker 3: New York City, but across the entirety of the state
3:41
Speaker 3: formative part of what was an upstate downstate coalition, and
3:45
Speaker 3: we've seen her already hard at work in this past week.
3:47
Speaker 3: She's someone who has been a core part of our
3:50
Speaker 3: efforts to coordinate rental ripoff hearings across the city, as
3:53
Speaker 3: well as informing tenants of their rights in a city
3:55
Speaker 3: where oftentimes they're not made aware of them.
3:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all you got to do, is if you
4:01
Speaker 2: want to be a Mom Donney type of Mary, you
4:02
Speaker 2: just talk very fast and you sound like you know
4:03
Speaker 2: what you're talking about, and you says say things like
4:05
Speaker 2: she has made incredible strides and she's done she's gotten
4:08
Speaker 2: so much accomplished with housing. Well, if that were true,
4:12
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have a housing problem. You just ran saying
4:14
Speaker 2: it's all out of control and terrible. So what strides
4:16
Speaker 2: did she make? But you ask Mom, Donnie. He can
4:19
Speaker 2: talk for an hour on any subject, two hours if
4:22
Speaker 2: he happens to know something about it. But here he
4:24
Speaker 2: is on Venezuela. He called the President.
4:26
Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to make clear to the President directly
4:29
Speaker 3: that these were the thoughts that I had, and they
4:30
Speaker 3: were also the thoughts that I was about to share
4:32
Speaker 3: with the world. And this is not just an action
4:35
Speaker 3: taken by a federal administration abroad. It's also an action
4:38
Speaker 3: that then implicates New York City because right now, Nicholas
4:40
Speaker 3: mother Roa is here in New York City, and my
4:42
Speaker 3: job as the Mayor of New York City is to
4:44
Speaker 3: ensure that any federal action has a limited impact, if any,
4:47
Speaker 3: on the day to day lives of New Yorker.
4:50
Speaker 2: You really don't. I'm looking at the window right now
4:52
Speaker 2: in mid towm Manhattan, and all these people walking around,
4:54
Speaker 2: they don't seem to be worried about Maduro. Here's in
4:57
Speaker 2: New York. He's actually in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Detentions.
5:00
Speaker 2: He's in federal custody, in the federal system. Again, I'm
5:03
Speaker 2: looking at everybody else. There's a million people walking around
5:06
Speaker 2: out there. They don't seem concerned about it. They don't
5:10
Speaker 2: seem to be worrying about it. Now, here's the good
5:12
Speaker 2: news about this whole mom, Donnie mess. The city council
5:16
Speaker 2: speaker's in charge of the city council really has a
5:20
Speaker 2: lot of power, at least as much as the mayor.
5:23
Speaker 2: And some would argue the city council speaker has more
5:25
Speaker 2: power than the mayor. Well, with the crazy left wing,
5:29
Speaker 2: kooky mayor, and of course you got a lot of
5:32
Speaker 2: crazy left wing cooks on the city council. Somehow they
5:34
Speaker 2: just elected a normal, moderate, common sense woman. Her name
5:40
Speaker 2: is Menon. She is the new city council speaker. She's
5:44
Speaker 2: not a left wing cook, very normal, very sane, very rational.
5:47
Speaker 2: And again, the city council has at least as much
5:51
Speaker 2: power as the mayor. Some would argue more. But here
5:53
Speaker 2: she is. We obviously now she's also Jewish. With the
5:57
Speaker 2: anti Semitic mayor, you've got a Jewish city council speaker
6:00
Speaker 2: who will do everything to protect the Jewish community.
6:03
Speaker 4: We obviously need to protect the First Amendment right to
6:06
Speaker 4: peacefully protest. That is SACRISANCT. But what we cannot have
6:11
Speaker 4: is a situation which we've had in New York and
6:13
Speaker 4: we saw it at Parky Synagogue where people were trying
6:16
Speaker 4: to worship that evening and they felt intimidated and harassed.
6:20
Speaker 4: We are going to be doing legislation to create safe
6:23
Speaker 4: perimeters around all houses of worship and around schools so
6:27
Speaker 4: that yes, of course people can peacefully protest, that's sacrisanc.
6:30
Speaker 4: But what you cannot do is intimidate and harass people
6:34
Speaker 4: as they're trying to go to school, go to their
6:36
Speaker 4: house of worship. So we're really going to be aggressive
6:38
Speaker 4: about that.
6:39
Speaker 2: Yeah. So in a way, things might be better right
6:43
Speaker 2: now than with the Blasi because with the Blasio you
6:45
Speaker 2: had a left wing kookie mayor and you had a
6:47
Speaker 2: left wing kookie city council speaker. But now yea half
6:51
Speaker 2: of the half of the duo is saying rational and
6:55
Speaker 2: somebody alike men, and is the new city council speaker. Now,
7:01
Speaker 2: as I say, Mom, Donnie's like the third term of Deblasio.
7:04
Speaker 2: And one thing about the Blasio, it was bad, but
7:06
Speaker 2: we got through it just fine. It wasn't survivable like
7:11
Speaker 2: Deblasio and de Blasi was the same way, kind of lazy,
7:14
Speaker 2: didn't really do anything, loved to talk a lot, was
7:17
Speaker 2: greatest speeches. Oh remember to Blasio never came to work.
7:21
Speaker 2: He would wake up and go to Brooklyn to that
7:24
Speaker 2: Jimmy like. He'd be in that gym for a couple hours.
7:26
Speaker 2: Then there was a little cafe coffee shop. He'd go
7:29
Speaker 2: in there for a couple hours. He would show up
7:31
Speaker 2: at city Hall about four o'clock, take a nap for
7:34
Speaker 2: half an hour, and then leave and that was about it.
7:36
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie likes to be at city Hall, and he
7:38
Speaker 2: loves doing interviews, and he talks real fast and just
7:41
Speaker 2: keeps answering that you can ask him anything. And then
7:43
Speaker 2: they come up with these ideas. The one thing about
7:46
Speaker 2: these left wing types, these mom Donnie, they've got a
7:50
Speaker 2: million ideas from a program for the homeless, they got
7:53
Speaker 2: a program for this, they got pre K, they got daycare,
7:56
Speaker 2: all these ideas, nothing ever really happens. They just talk
7:59
Speaker 2: about it. The universe pre k.
8:01
Speaker 1: Not only when we make pre K truly universal, but
8:05
Speaker 1: expand this care to include all two and three year
8:09
Speaker 1: olds across the city. As the governor said, we will
8:16
Speaker 1: deliver two care by working in partnership with childcare providers,
8:20
Speaker 1: especially home based providers.
8:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're cheering and cheering, love that universal pre K,
8:28
Speaker 2: not just pre K, universal pre K, and they get
8:32
Speaker 2: all excited. And then just like in Minnesota, whenever they
8:35
Speaker 2: do this stuff, these left wing Democrat programs a couple
8:39
Speaker 2: of years ago is by an Alviso billions missing, billions
8:42
Speaker 2: of dollars missing in pre k. Remember the the Blasio
8:45
Speaker 2: Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A billion dollars went missing.
8:50
Speaker 2: And of course the media is a Democrat. They never
8:52
Speaker 2: looked to see what happened to it. Yeah, it's Minnesota.
8:54
Speaker 2: That's why they're going crazy. Another reason they're going crazy
8:56
Speaker 2: over this shooting. It gets that Sama childcare, daycare, eighteen
9:02
Speaker 2: billion missing, gets it out of the headlines, gets it
9:04
Speaker 2: out of the news. Everybody forgets about it for a minute.
9:07
Speaker 2: Luigi Manngioni going to court today, the big day in court.
9:12
Speaker 2: There'll be a big fight, and his attorney's well, the
9:14
Speaker 2: first thing you're trying to do is get the death
9:16
Speaker 2: penalty off the table. That's the one thing.
9:21
Speaker 3: Now.
9:21
Speaker 2: The other thing is they think they can get some
9:22
Speaker 2: of the evidence tossed out that got him arrested, although
9:26
Speaker 2: I doubt that. Now here's the problem. A lot of
9:28
Speaker 2: these experts that hunt for fugitive say, this kid was
9:32
Speaker 2: really stupid about a lot of things. You know, it
9:36
Speaker 2: was right out there, look out the window, right across
9:39
Speaker 2: the street. Right there, that's where he shot the guy,
9:40
Speaker 2: right across the street, the New York Kilton. It's on
9:43
Speaker 2: the corner where the New York Kilton is. And we're
9:47
Speaker 2: iHeart right here across the street. But you know, on
9:49
Speaker 2: that corner in Manhattan, there's a surveillance camera everywhere, every inch.
9:54
Speaker 2: It's true of all of Manhattan, all the New York City.
9:56
Speaker 2: They got surveillance cameras everywhere. So if you shoot it
10:00
Speaker 2: on that corner, there's going to be video of you
10:02
Speaker 2: from every angle shooting the guy. So they got him there.
10:06
Speaker 2: The other thing is if you're fugitive and you're on
10:08
Speaker 2: the lamb, if you're like a David Jansen fugitive, if
10:11
Speaker 2: you're a Harrison Ford fugitive fleeing and you're in these
10:15
Speaker 2: little small towns, you're supposed to go into these little
10:19
Speaker 2: mom and pop places. If you got to get some food,
10:22
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to go into McDonald's and he made
10:26
Speaker 2: a huge mistake. He wasn't thinking. You know, if you
10:28
Speaker 2: go into a McDonald's, this is a big national chain.
10:33
Speaker 2: You know, you can go to any McDonald's anywhere in America.
10:35
Speaker 2: They all look the same. And one thing they put
10:37
Speaker 2: in all the McDonald's is extremely tight surveillance. They've got
10:41
Speaker 2: cameras everywhere, every angle, so you can it's easy to
10:47
Speaker 2: be on surveillance cameras if you're in McDonald's. You go
10:49
Speaker 2: into a little mom and pop general store, they're probably
10:52
Speaker 2: not so sophisticated tech wise. But he went into McDonald's
10:56
Speaker 2: where there was a ton of surveillance cameras on him,
10:59
Speaker 2: and you know, he's using a credit card every so
11:02
Speaker 2: it just did make sense. It was easy to catch him.
11:04
Speaker 2: The locals caught him. The people in McDonald's thought he
11:07
Speaker 2: looked like the shooter, you know, with that one big
11:11
Speaker 2: unibrow eyebrow, and the he's kind of a distinctive looking guy.
11:15
Speaker 2: So they called the police. The police came arrested him.
11:17
Speaker 2: So they're trying to get that tossed out and that
11:20
Speaker 2: somehow he was illegally arrested, or that he had the
11:23
Speaker 2: wrong evidence. I don't know what they're going to argue,
11:25
Speaker 2: but they're gonna try. Hey, by the way, the vice
11:31
Speaker 2: president of great press conference yesterday, Vice President Vance. But
11:34
Speaker 2: they've also announced, you got this Somali fraud, and it
11:37
Speaker 2: looks like it's going to be even worse in California,
11:40
Speaker 2: even worse in Illinois. So they've announced the Department of
11:44
Speaker 2: Justice is creating a whole new Assistant Attorney General whose
11:48
Speaker 2: only focus will be on this fraud. Start with Minnesota,
11:53
Speaker 2: go after them, then go to California, then go to
11:56
Speaker 2: these other states. So he'll be one attorney general assistant
11:59
Speaker 2: Attorney General, just focused on this fraud, on doing something
12:04
Speaker 2: about it and try to stop it. And by the way,
12:07
Speaker 2: we would, Mam Donnie. You know, he went after Trump
12:09
Speaker 2: like crazy on Venezuela, attacked him Trump was asked about it.
12:14
Speaker 2: He's done a lot of interviews. So he did a
12:16
Speaker 2: great hour on Hannity last night. You'll probably hear it
12:18
Speaker 2: on the Hannity Radio show today here on wor he
12:22
Speaker 2: did a New York Times. I don't know why he
12:24
Speaker 2: does this The New York Times. These people hate his guts,
12:27
Speaker 2: but he brought him into the Oval Office game a
12:29
Speaker 2: couple hours of his time. But they said, what about
12:32
Speaker 2: Mam Donnie attacking you like crazy on Venezuela? And he
12:36
Speaker 2: actually said, you know, the guy was here. We got
12:38
Speaker 2: along great. I was really nice to him. And Trump says, quote,
12:41
Speaker 2: he's got a great personality. He's a nice guy. His
12:45
Speaker 2: policies are not good, but who knows, maybe he changes.
12:49
Speaker 2: But he said the way he attacked me, I thought
12:51
Speaker 2: the guy would wait at least three or four weeks
12:53
Speaker 2: before going after me. We just had a great time together.
12:57
Speaker 2: I thought it would take him a few weeks before
12:59
Speaker 2: he goes. But nope, he didn't wait at all, went
13:01
Speaker 2: right after him. Now you know who Jamie Diamond is.
13:05
Speaker 2: He's the chairman of JP Morgan Chase. He's considered the
13:09
Speaker 2: best CEO in America, top CEO. He's the greatest CEO
13:15
Speaker 2: obviously in banking. Guess what he made last year? What
13:21
Speaker 2: would you pay a guy like that? They had a
13:22
Speaker 2: great year JP Morgan Chase. What do you think they'd
13:24
Speaker 2: pay him? Well, last year he made seven one hundred
13:27
Speaker 2: and seventy million dollars. Seven one hundred and seventy million dollars. Nah,
13:33
Speaker 2: that sounds like a lot, but hey, after taxes, it's
13:35
Speaker 2: only five hundred million. So now, actually there's a big
13:38
Speaker 2: asterisk on this. They didn't pay him that He made
13:42
Speaker 2: about I think twenty five million in salary, which is
13:44
Speaker 2: normal for a big CEO of a major corporation. You know,
13:48
Speaker 2: if they trust you with a eight hundred billion dollar
13:50
Speaker 2: company and you've got to run it, that's what you
13:52
Speaker 2: get paid. And most of this money was he had
13:57
Speaker 2: stock options. You know, if you really want to be fair,
14:01
Speaker 2: pay the guy with stock options. That way, if he
14:03
Speaker 2: makes the stock go up, he makes money. If he
14:06
Speaker 2: screws up and the stock goes down, he loses money. Well,
14:10
Speaker 2: JP Morgan Chase had the greatest year ever. I think
14:12
Speaker 2: they were the biggest stock in America, up thirty four
14:17
Speaker 2: percent for the year, major stock up thirty four percent
14:21
Speaker 2: for the year. So that's how he made that money. Now,
14:23
Speaker 2: what would that mean JP Morgan Chase going up thirty
14:26
Speaker 2: four percent? I don't know. I mean, I don't have
14:29
Speaker 2: the numbers in front of me. But let's say that
14:31
Speaker 2: means an extra three hundred billion. So if you made
14:35
Speaker 2: somebody three hundred billion, hey, I guess you could get
14:37
Speaker 2: paid seven hundred and seventy million. So I know you're
14:42
Speaker 2: supposed to get mad at him. You know, in California
14:44
Speaker 2: they hate these people. They in fact, they want to
14:46
Speaker 2: have a five percent tax on all these billionaires, a
14:51
Speaker 2: one time In other words, they would take five percent
14:54
Speaker 2: of their money, not their income, all the money they
14:57
Speaker 2: have in the bank, everything. Just see he's five percent
15:00
Speaker 2: of it, a one time tax, five percent. They're trying
15:03
Speaker 2: to get this passed. Now. Some billionaires have already left.
15:09
Speaker 2: About six billionaires, major figures, Peter Thiel, others have moved
15:14
Speaker 2: out of the state. They've left because they don't want
15:17
Speaker 2: to pay Let's say you got twenty billion your tax,
15:23
Speaker 2: there would be one billion. You'd have to hand over
15:27
Speaker 2: write a check for one billion. So they're rather than
15:29
Speaker 2: pay it, they're leaving. Six of them. There's a couple
15:32
Speaker 2: of is staying. The Navidia chairman said he has no
15:34
Speaker 2: plans to leave the big another billionaires, a real estate guy, Sobrato.
15:40
Speaker 2: He's staying put. But he said he doesn't expect this,
15:42
Speaker 2: but this thing to pass. He doesn't think it'll pass. Hey, Now,
15:45
Speaker 2: the other thing is if you leave, like all these
15:47
Speaker 2: guys just left right now, they're going to pay this,
15:50
Speaker 2: they're saying. When they pass this tax. It'll be retroactive.
15:53
Speaker 2: Even if you left, you still have to pay it. However,
15:57
Speaker 2: good luck trying to collect that if the person is gone.
16:00
Speaker 2: We'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three two one
16:03
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
16:07
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten
