  Speaker 1: Simone Show on seven tenor Hey it's Friday. That's good.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Got through the first week of twenty twenty six. We'll
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: get to Minneapolis, We'll get to Portland, We'll get to CBS,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We'll get to I ran the ayatolem may be fleeing
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: at any moment. We'll get to Mom Donnie. We'll get
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to a whole lot more coming up this morning. It
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is the end of the first week of twenty twenty six.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We made it through all of this. I see dead
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Christmas trees all over the sidewalks in New York. People
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: just toss them out there in the garbage and they're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: lying around all over the place there. So it's going
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to be warm today, but the rain starts later. It's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: going to be a very rainy weekend. But whatever snow
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: there's left out there somewhere is going to get washed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: away this weekend. So President Trump, let's go over everything
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: from this. Minneapolis, they've started to identify the ice officer
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: who fired the shots, his picture, his face, his name
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: all over the internet. Now you know how the poor
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: woman who got killed, they would say, well, she was
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a mother of a six year old. She was a poet,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: she was a wonderful woman. Was also driving a car
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: right into a bunch of law enforcement officers, trying to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: terrorize them all day. It's not just at that moment,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: but she'd been there apparently all day, trying to block them,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: trying to interrupt them, trying to troll them, going after them.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I could see protesting if you're really upset about something.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I could see getting a sign and standing there waving
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: your sign and yelling something. But could you imagine ever
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: getting into a big suv and terrorizing the agents. Could
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you imagine would you ever have the nerve to do that?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And when I say terrorizing, I mean she's driving into them,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: around them. And if you watch, they don't show you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: this really when they show these videos right before the incident,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it all started. When the ICE agents are in a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: caravan of cars SUVs, they're coming down the street. Right
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: before all this, she takes her SUV, gets in front
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of them and turns the car sideways so that it's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: blocking the whole street. Now, usually when you see that happen,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of Blue Bloods episodes where you see
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that where they're trying to stop Danny Reagan from taking
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that witness into court. One suv turns sideways blocks the road.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Another gets behind the caravan blocks them in, so they're
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: boxed in, and now they start shooting at them. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: if you're these Ice agents and you see this car
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: ahead of you turn and just sideways block the whole
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: street so you can't move, your first thought is you're
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: going to get ambushed. Here there's going to be another
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: car blocking you from behind. I mean, if I were them,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I would have just rammed right through her and knocked
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: her car of the way, but they instead stopped. They
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: got out of the car and try to approach her
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to see what it was all about. And that's where
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: all this started. Now you got all these people yelling
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and screaming. You got Mamdanni and of course it can
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: always count on him for the left wing kook response.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And he's yelling murder, murder, murder. And you got the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Minnesota mayor, who's not the same thing their own Mamdani
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: yelling murder. You got Tim Waltz, the governor. He wants
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to try this cop there. And now there's a couple
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of things. If you just go over the facts. Fact
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: number one, this cop will never ever ever get convicted
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of anything. He's totally legally covered, justified. We can go
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: over the reasons why in a moment, absolutely total legal shooting.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing. If you talk off the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: record to every great law enforcement person, police commissioners, all
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: sorts of top top police people, they'll tell you when
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: they've studied this, it's legally justified. It was legal in firing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But they'll also tell you off the record, he shouldn't
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: have fired. He didn't have to fire. He did hit
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: him with the car. He was in front of it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: She was coming at him. She then tried to turn away,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: so you can legally fire at her. But they all
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: said the same thing. If you were a much smarter cop,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you would have gotten out of the way. You didn't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: have to fire, So you don't shoot and kill her.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You just either get the local police to capture her later,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: or you chase her and capture He didn't need to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: fire the shots. Now, he's legally covered because she did
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: hit him with the car. You can see that in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the videos from the front. And also if you're watching
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert, you wouldn't know any of this last night.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: He did this whole thing about her. He just shot
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: her from the side of the car. He was on
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the side of the car shooting at her. Now, actually
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he was in front of the car for the first shot.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Because the first shot, and this is the key to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: everything if it ever were to go into a courtroom,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the first shot goes through the front windshield. And that's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: impossible to do if you're on the side of the car.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: If the first shot goes right through the front windshield.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And that's because he was in front of the car.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: If you look at the other videos, which they'd never
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: show you, from the front the car hit some reason,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: he's on the side. The car hit him and knocked
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: him to the side. But again, he's legally justified. He's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: legal in the shooting. But off the record, every law
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: enforcement guesses, you didn't have to fire those shots. You
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: could have just let it go. But he will get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a federal investigation. They will not convict him. Even the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: biggest Trump hating prosecutors, the Andy McCarthy types, will tell
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you it's a legally justified shooting. They can't convict him
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of anything, but fed's will go after him. Now, the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Minnesota officials, the crazy left wing mayor and Waltz. They
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: want to try him, they want to put him on trial,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: they want to go after him. It's good for them politically,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it's a good issue for them to latch onto. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the other problem with this. It's a terrible incident, tragic, awful,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: even though it's legal. It's probably unnecessary, but it's legal.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But if you're a Democrat and you hate Trump and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: your whole life is trying to get Trump, this is perfect.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You can use this for the next year, and you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: got midterm elections coming up. So if you're a Democrat,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: this is great. This footage the cops shooting the woman.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: If you read these articles in the left wing news media,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: she was a poet, she was a mother, she was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: how could they shoot her? But again, if you're a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: poet and a mother, you generally wouldn't be the type
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: would you to be taking your suv and trying to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: run over cops or try to bust up a police operation.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's highly unusual behavior. But these Democrats, with the rhetoric,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: these Colberts and Stephanopoulos's and all the media and all
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the Democrats and all they've riled up these people, They've
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: inflamed them. They've weaponized these white liberal women with their
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: liberal arts degrees to go crazy. But Tim Waltz, who's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: had withdraw from the guvern his race in total disgrace,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this might be a turning point for him. Maybe you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: can save himself. That's why he wants to do the investigation.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension the BCA, spent
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the day yesterday attempting to get that accountability. We have
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: learned that the Trump administration has now denied the state
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that ability to participate in the investigation. And I always
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: want to make this as clear as possible to everyone.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Minnesota must be part of this investigation.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Gotta give this guy credit for the first ten seconds.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Boy does he sound.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Official yesterday the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the bc ooh,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the bc.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Other, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal and Apprehension. It sounds impressive.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Then he said, well, wait a minute, you just had
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: eighteen billions stolen right under your nose. You didn't even
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: know it, and now that you know it's stolen, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: haven't done a damn thing about it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: A spent the day yesterday attempting to get that accountability.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Accountability, that's that's his middle name, accountability. Again. Eighteen billions stolen.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He didn't notice, he didn't see, he didn't look. Now
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that they know it was stolen, and you'll never hear
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a word about it from him. He'll never mention. It
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: looks the other way. So it's it's just silly, it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So we'll see what happens. There will be
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a federal investigation. Now you got the Portland incident on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: top of that, and again it's the same thing. You know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: people weaponizing cars, trying to drive into you don't wherever
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: there's a shooting, a gun incident, they always call for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: banning guns. You've had people use cars now as weapons.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Car attacks, now here's here's one
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: reason the ICE agents are really really on edge over
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: this attacks with people using cars to run down ICE agents.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Car attacks on ICE agents over the last year are up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They have spiked up thirty two hundred percent in one year.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Thirty two hundred percent in one year. There's a massive
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: number of incidents. The one reason this cop was so
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: quick to fire was months ago he was in another
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: incident where a car tried to run him down and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the car he got caught with his arm in the car,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and the car dragged him for hundreds and hundreds of feet,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: almost tore his arm off. In fact, he was seriously injured.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: He had something like forty five stitches and his arm.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He still hasn't gotten full use of his arm. So,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the victim who was shot, you'll hear about
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: what a wonderful she was, a mother, she was this Well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you could do the same thing with the cop. Everybody
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: describes him as a wonderful man, a really kind, wonderful neighbor,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a guy who went to church all the time. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he's married to an immigrant. You know, he's not an
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: anti immigrant guy. He's been on the Ice Force for
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: twelve years. He was, for that, a war veteran, So
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, a model citizen. But this will continue, You know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the real deal is. Democrats are
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: running for midterm a linetions. They need to use this.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: They want to destroy Trump should they take office. They
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: want to impeach them. This would be perfect. Are they
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: going to play this up like crazy? You're gonna hear
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: all about this. You're going to see more rioting now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: We hope this doesn't turn out to remember the last
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: time we had the riots start, it went on for
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: an entire summer, all through the election year, and this
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: will be an election year, so you know, you've got
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a couple other things going on. The Affordable Care Act
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is it turned out this Obamacare, they call it the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act, but it's not affordable. It turned out
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to be a total disaster. Drove the cost of healthcare
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: up like crazy. So to fix that, the government has
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to give you subsidies. It's so unaffordable you have to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: get huge government subsidies to pay for it, and those
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: have expired. That's what the shutdown was all about. So
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: we're headed to another shutdown in two weeks. About those substies, well,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: yesterday this week Congress started to pass the patch for that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: We thought they'd do like a a one year patch
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: continue the subsidies to give everybody time to figure out
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: how to fix the system, but instead it was three years,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: so for three years the subsidies will continue. Now this
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: is bad for Democrats in the midterms because if the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: whole thing expired, healthcare costs would have gone way up.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It would have helped Democrats run for the midterms, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they've lost this issue now by putting in this patch.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So apparently what Democrats want to do is they want
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to use these incidents with Ice as the big midterm election.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: They'll try affordability. But the problem is, and I think
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they kind of know this, as we head into the summer,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: prices are going to come way down. Inflation has been dropping.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Everything is. Prices have been dropping, and the economy has
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: been picking up steam. The tax cuts from the big
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: beautiful bill now kick in starting this month. People will
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: be getting more in their paychecks. So affordability economy, that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: might not be the greatest issue, but they're going to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: use ice as the midterms issue. So in fact, they're
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: talking about maybe another government shutdown over ice, over getting
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: rid of ice. There'll be a defund the ice movement coming,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so keep an eye out for that. Hey, Iran is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: an amazing situation. You know, you've always wanted to get
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: rid of this iatolem. You always thought, maybe, you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: if you stir up a rebellion revolution in Iran, maybe
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that will put Well, we didn't have to do a thing.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It already rows up on its own. The people of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Iran are rebelling like crazy, protesting all of this. It's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: gotten so out of hand that Iran has shut down
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: their internet as a way to stop that. You see
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: signs now death to the Ayatola, which usually would get
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you killed in a second, but the revolution is so
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: bold right now. They've got these signs up. And apparently
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the Ayatola, who's very old, is making plans. He thinks
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance he may have to flee the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: country and leave that the revolution may be successful if
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the Iotola leaves. Apparently he's planning to go to Russia
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: where they will take care of them. And he's got
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: about twenty people he wants to take with him inner
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: circle family, so that would be fascinating. He leaves, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: then the revolution, if it's successful, you get a normal government,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: normal some kind of sort of democratic government. So you'll
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: have that in Venezuela, you'll have that in Iran. If
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump keeps going on the path he's going on,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you'll probably end up with some kind of democracy in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Cuba Columbia. He'll bring down these dictators. Now, the meeting
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: is today with all the oil companies. The president wants
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the big oil companies to go into Venezuela and fix
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the oil drilling, the infrastructure. It's all decayed and gone. Venezuela,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, has twenty percent of the world's oil.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Seventeen trillion in oil is under the ground there three
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: hundred billion barrels. They've got more oil than the Saudis do.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: So the problem is they don't have any oil industry.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: They let all the wells, the infrastructure totally decay. They
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: can't get it out of the ground. But you send
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: these oil companies in there. They know how to fix
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Take a while, but they'll fix it. Get
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the oil pumping, and then Venezuela could not only be
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a democracy, it could be the most wealthy, booming economy
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: as it was way back when before the socialists came in.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Now here's the only catch. President has the oil company
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: executives coming in today to talk to them about going
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: down there and fixing everything. Now, they would love to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do this because you can make a lot of money
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: pumping all that oil. But and they're gonna be very
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: careful with the President. They're not going to really come
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: out and say this. They're going to kind of stall
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for time because they don't really want to go in there.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem, and they're not wrong about this. It'd
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: be great if Trump's in office. They will go down there,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: fix the oil infrastructure, oil beflow, everything be great. But
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: they got to think to them, so, well, what if
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the Republicans lose Congress in November, what if Democrats take over?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They won't pack us up. We won't get the protection
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: we need, the money we need. And then they got
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to think, what if a couple of years that Democrats
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: take the White House, if it's a democratic government, they'll
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: be stuck down there in Venezuela without the federal backup
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and protection. So they're not too crazy about going in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: there right now. So, hey, we got a lot to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: get to this hour. Oh we'll get to CBS that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Barry Weiss, the new person running it, is cleaning things up,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that Evening News now is a little more balanced. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: apparently she's all over sixty minutes stopping some of their
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: stories because they're totally unbalanced, letting some of their stories
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: go if they agree to put in both sides. This
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: has got CBS people very upset. So we'll get to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that in a lot more coming up. We'll take some calls. Next.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the number eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Now back to the mont Simone show on WR.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three to two
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Let's go to Shelley in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Long Island. Shelley, how you.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Doing, Hey, good morning, Mark. Loved the show. Mark. We
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: have not seen one high profile arrest. Day after day
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: we see governors, mayors threaten the president and I and
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: no one gets arrested. It's so fatiguing arrest the.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Governors and mayors and I can't arrest them. They're allowed
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to be idiots. It's not a crime to be stupid.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: So why are we going to see a high profile
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: arrest any any time?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I think you saw on Saturday, Maduro that was pretty
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: high profile.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean in the United States.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Well you've seen the Letitia James. She's beaten the last
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: couple of charges, but they'll get her eventually.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: All right, Okay, you think you're saying positive. I'm trying
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: to stay positive here, but I don't know. I feel
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: like we keep getting defeated.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. Who do you want arrested? I mean,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: look at look at Ice. They've arrested something like three
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand illegals.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: That's pretty good, right, I don't know. I guess these mayors,
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: these governors.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Who are But you can't arrest somebody for being an idiot,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for being crazy. You can't arrest them. But thanks for calling.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: One of the things I always find interesting about these
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: stories like the Minnesota shooting is well, first of all,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: the Democrats lovet is. Jane Fonder reminded us. They love
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: these kinds of things because they can make hay from it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: But it's also the takes people have that it's like
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: some random event, like she was out looking for a
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: loaf of bread and she got lost and she was
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: shot by this you know, by this rogue cop.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: You know, these the cops.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Have intel, they know what's going on the other side.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Is there for reasons? And I wouldn't put it past
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: the Democrats in the left the hope that somebody gets shot,
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: because then they have fodder for their you know, like
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: you said, riots all summer, you know, and that unnerves
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: the voting public.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And I said again, if you're a left wing crazy
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: uh liberal, that's fine. And if you want to get
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a sign and go protest Ice and put a sign,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: call on them all kinds of names. If you want
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to scream at them, that's great, that's fine. But who
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: think I'll take my big SUV and just drive right
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: into them.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: I'll block their up exactly exactly. And and like you said,
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: there's been an uptick of three thousand percent, so it
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: is a planned saying.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thanks for calling. Somebody put out a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: book called how Not to Get Shot by Ice. It's
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: one page. The one page says don't run your car
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: into them. It's pretty much that simple. Let's go to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Bob Montvale, New Jersey.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Thanks Mark for taking my call. But this Minnesota thing
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: is interesting because it brings into play like child's care.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: The reportal is in the post, so that the childcare center,
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: it was like the meeting point for this group. Interesting,
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: isn't it? So here for their childcare is bogus and
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: the other half is tainting little children.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And yeah, well in their defense. The childcare centers had
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: no children in them. They were empty, so I might
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: as well rent them out to crazy left wing protesters.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Do something with them. Let's go to Michael in beautiful
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Oyster Bay. Michael, how you doing?
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Oh good? How are you?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: Twenty thirteen, there was a shooting at the Capitol. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: don't know if you remember. The woman who hit a
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: Capitol police officer near the White House, kept driving towards
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: the Capitol.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get a baby in the car.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: They sat here dead.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: No, no, no cluestion.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: De Yeah, Well, it depends if you're a Democrat. It's bad.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: It's good a republic and it's bad. It depends. You
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: got to d buy your name. You get a democratic
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: community on those things. Let's go to sewn in New Jersey. Sean,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: how you doing, good morning?
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Mark, very well.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: See.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know why we keep using the word that
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: this was a tragedy.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: It's terrible.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: We never want someone being killed or shot, but this
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: wasn't an innocent person.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: If a bystander, if a protestant that's just standing there
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: holding a sign.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: Like you said, got shot and killed, that's a tragedy.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: If I took my car out right now and try
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: to run over a police officer and I got shot.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: No one would say it's a tragedy.
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: This is not a tragedy.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Again, it depends are you a Democrat, are you a Republican.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: If she's a Democrat, it's a tragedy. If you're a publican,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if you're Ashley Babbitt.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Good exactly.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Hey I'm not exaggerating, by the way, go look at
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: my Twitter. We found these Keith Oberman tweets. When Ashley Babbitt,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the war veteran, was shot for no reason by a cop.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Oberman is tweeting justice has been done, but with this
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: case murder a Yeah, that's psycho Keith Oberman. He's still
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: out there, but he sometimes tweets from the unemployment line
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and puts those crazy things up. Yeah, it's just I mean, listen,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it's one thing to rile up your base. It's one
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: thing to weaponize these angry white liberal women with the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: liberal arts degrees, with the nose rings. It's one thing
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to rile them up. But to get them to start
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: using their SUVs they're soccer mom SUVs to run over
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: police or try to drive right into the middle of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a police operation and bust. It's insane, it's crazy. And
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: again these suv trying to hit the police. Those incidents
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: are up thirty two hundred thirty two hundred percent in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the last year. Hey, when we come back, some entertainment news.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Actually we'll talk to Roger Friedman. I got a lot
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of things to talk to him about. We'll get to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Nick Reiner, and we'll get to Marty Supreme and a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: whole lot more coming up on seven to ten WR.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: This is to the Mark some Moon show on seventen WR.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll talk to Roger in a moment. We're hunting
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: for them as we speak. Little controversy yesterday the Health
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and Human Services, you know the Robert F. Kennedy and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: doctor Oz was there Brooke Rollins for this thing. They
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: redid the food pyramid. I don't know if it's good
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: or bad. But do you know anybody actually looks at
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: this food pyramid? Do you know anybody that follows the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: before you eat these say, let me check that food pyramid.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So they want you to eat more protein. The good
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: part is less sugar. That's the good point. We'll get
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: back to that anyway. But Roger Friedman, the Great entertainment
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: reporter his website. You should check it every day. There's
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: always great stories. Showbiz for one one dot com, Showbiz
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: for one dot com. Roger Friedman, how you doing. I'm great,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Good morning. How are you good? Hey, we haven't talked
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. I got to catch up
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: on a few things. One Okay, Marty Supreme. They talked
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: about it as the biggest movie of the year. It's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: doing okay, but it's doing great. Did you see that I.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Used your picture? Yeah, and I featured you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Know, and it was great. I actually knew the real Marty Supreme, who,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: by the way, had nothing to do with this movie.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: He was the ping pong champion. But this stuff that
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: they was.
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: Inspired by him, the idea movie is inspired by him.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but with the chasing, the women, the gangsters, the shootings,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the car chases, none of that really happened with him.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: He was actually a pretty boring guy in real life.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at the box office, it's always like
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: number two or three. It's not like number one.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Every week.
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, Avatar is out, so that's like the
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: big commercial movie at the moment. But Marty Supreme is
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: up to like sixteen million dollars. I think after just
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: a couple of weeks, that's great.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding? Okay, that's wonderful.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: It's a great movie. Yeah, I mean it's a great movie.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody should go see it. When does it start streaming
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: because some people wait for that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: Oh it's not. It's a sixty one million. That's fantastic
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: after twenty days, and the first few days were not
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: really they were just in two theaters. No, it's doing great.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: It won't be streaming for a long time. It's got
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: to get through the award season. You know, Tomorrow Sunday
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: night is the Golden Globes. This past weekend was the Critics'
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: Choice Awards, which he won Timothy Challame, and then we're
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: gonna have the Golden Globes. Then we're gonna have Oscar nominations.
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: Then we're going to have things like the SAG Awards,
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: and then finally the Oscars on March fifteenth. I don't
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: think you'll see Marty Supreme streaming until after March fifteenth,
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: but that's not bad. It Eventually it'll get there. But
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: the two big movies of this Oscar season are Marty Supreme.
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: In one battle after another, and they're going to battle
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: for the Oscar, and I think one battle will win
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: the Oscar and Timothy Chilly will win the Best Actor Award.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: It is guess it is a great movie. Everybody should
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: go see Marty Supreme. You love it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: It's a great movie.
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: And it's funny because after you said you knew him
• 25:03
  Speaker 11: and you had pictures, a few other people turned up
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: in the papers saying that they had known him also,
• 25:10
  Speaker 11: and one of them was Tina Brown, whose husband, Harry Evans,
• 25:14
  Speaker 11: the famous editor, was sort of like my mentor. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: I had no idea that Marty Riceman had written a
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: second book that was never been published, and he wanted
• 25:26
  Speaker 11: Harry Evans to publish at a random house. So he
• 25:28
  Speaker 11: kept going to and Harry put a ping pong table
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: in his basement on fifty seventh Street, and Marty was
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: going over there and playing ping pong to the disgust
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: of Tina Brown, who didn't like him and didn't want
• 25:41
  Speaker 11: him in her house. But Harry loved it, and all
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: they did was play ping pong night and day.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was an incredible ping pong player. Otherwise kind
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: of a dull and annoying sort of a guy, kind
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of a little sweepie.
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: You could sort of see that in the movie. Actually
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: concerneracy as he got older, this would wear thin, you know.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. You know that the behavior is cute
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: when you're twenty two, when you're fifty two. Right that
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: cut right now. The other thing we haven't talked about it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Tell us about what you know about Nick Reiner, Rob Reiner,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the whole situation.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything more than you do.
• 26:18
  Speaker 11: It's such a tragic story because Rob Reiner, who I knew,
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: and his wife Michelle, who I also knew, were just
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: the greatest people. And apparently they were living with this
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: incredible catastrophe in their house and didn't really know what
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: to do, and they were doing the best they could,
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: and they thought, well, just you know, keep giving him
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: money and love and it'll turn around. And obviously the
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: kid was really sick.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: So now he's lost his lawyer. His lawyer withdrew.
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: From the case this week and he's going to have
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: a public defender. And the lawyer didn't say why, but
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: my guess is that the brother and sisters would not
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: pay for the defense. This lawyer, his name is Alan Jackson,
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: probably costs one thousand dollars an hour or whatever. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: if you it's a tragic thing. Can you imagine that
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: your sibling kills your parents and then comes to you
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: and says, will you pay for my defense?
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: And what are you going to do? You know?
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: And I think that probably they've decided they're not going
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: to pay for the defense anyway. He's going to wind
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: up in a mental hospital some kind and they're going
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: to plead insanity and and it's horrible.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: He's ruined all of their lives.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Apparently, apparently he's officially been diagnosed with being a schizophrenic.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: And a couple of criminal lawyers told me, you have
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to withdraw because you can't deal with schizophrenics as a lawyer.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Also, you need two lawyers.
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: Actually, right, is it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Too soon for jokes?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: But now apparently the family has said they do not
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: want the death penalty. They've asked the DA and the.
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: D about the death penalty for their brother.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the DA has said the wishes of the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: family will be a paramount to his decision, so they
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: will not seek to death YCTY.
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: No, he's going to go to jail for the rest
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: of his life, and he'll probably he'll die in jail,
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: and maybe it'll be a hospital jail, because he's you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: obviously very very very sick guy. But what he's done
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: is just it's unforgivable. They'll never be able to forgive
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: him for this, and it must be the winding down
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: of any state when a person is older is a
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: very difficult thing. That you realize that Rob Bryer was
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: at the height of his careers, so this must be
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: for these kids to have to deal with this now
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: is just the worst thing ever. It's unimaginable.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, let's talk about Bruno Mars. It was always
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a very big deal, but somehow he got hotter than
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: ever and now he's announced he's going to play stadiums.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: How did he get so much hotter all of a sudden.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: No, he's been hot for a while, you know.
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: He had this huge hit with Lady Gaga over the
• 28:59
  Speaker 11: last year.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: It's a massive hit. It's called Die with a Smile.
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: It's a ballad and it's actually the biggest record of
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: the last year and a half, so that really helps him.
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: He also had a hit with one of the young
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: women from Black Pink in the Korean pop so it
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: really reignited. These two things really reignited him. So he's
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: made a new album that's coming out of February twenty seventh,
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: and last night he dropped a new single, and he's
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: apparently in a fight online with one of his fans,
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: who said on Twitter. The fan said, this guy puts
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: out the same song all the time and no one
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: ever says anything, and Berto bar has attacked him personally
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: back on Twitter, which was hilarious.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: But I have to say the song.
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: Which I can't remember, I think it's called It Just Might,
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: and it's a dance song and it's fun. It sounds
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: exactly like Leo Sayer's You Make Me Feel Like Dancing
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: se exact same song. And this is not the first
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: time Bruno Mars has done this. He did their song
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: early in his career. I can't read the name of it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: It sounded like the Police, which sing Every time I
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: started playing, you thought, oh, this is the Police. Bruno
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: Mars is very good at sort of copying other people's
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: styles and then adding a little bit of something else
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: to make it sound new. But he's fun, you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: he's a fun guy. He has a great voice, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: I don't mind him doing that and sting say at
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: the time, I don't care, do.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Whatever you want.
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: I don't know what Leo Sayer will say when he
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: hears this, but I played it. It dropped on Spotify
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: about twelve thirty last night, and I said, I'd better
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: listen to this, and I'm like, this sounds like something I.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Know very much.
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: So but he's but Bruno.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Let's see, is he I'll tell you right now. Is
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: it a hit?
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: Probably it's probably number one, because you know his people
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: don't even know who leos Aya was.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know his fans, they have no idea.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: No, he had a bunch of hits mid seventies. Is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: he still alive? I assuming, of course he is.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: You know, I'll tell you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: I'll tell you something about Bruno Mars that is smart.
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: They booked him this big tour. It's number six. They
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: booked him this big tour. But he's not going out
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: on his own, which is really smart. He's going out
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: with four other R and B stars Let's go Away
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: and Leon Thomas. And this is what you have to
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: do now because people cannot fill these stadiums at these prices,
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: so the tickets are so jacked up and You've seen
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: a lot of calamities of tours where you know there's
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: like large empty areas of stadiums. So I think that
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: it's Bruno Marster. I really want to see it at
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: this Bruno Mars tour. I think it's going to be great.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Well, you could have large empty areas if you're met life.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Jets are used to it. Giants are used to it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: A lot of empty areas in the.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Well the giants.
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: Maybe you're picking up some esteem though, aren't they.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: That's when you know you're bad. When when when you
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: go four and thirteen they think it was a great season,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: you know you're in trouble.
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: So you know you're only good as you're only as
• 32:02

  Speaker 1: done and lots to get to this hour, we'll get
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to Bruce Blakeman. He should be the next governor. We'll
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: talk to him coming up later this hour. Kathy Hokeel
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: will look like she will head to the left, far
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to the left, trying to get the nomination. She's closing
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: up to Mom Donnie. She's somehow decided that to win,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: she's got to be over there with Mom Donnie, get
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: his support his voters, which might be fine in New
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: York City, but I don't know, you've got a lot
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: of them up state. Remember, Bruce Blakeman just won a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: big election in Nassau County second time. And if you
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: look at the makeup of Nassau County. It's very similar
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to the makeup of New York State demographics, party, all
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So excellent shot. He's far more
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: qualified to be governor than Kathy Hokle is. So we'll
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: talk to him later this hour. By the way, he
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: gets inaugurated for the second two on Monday, big inauguration ceremony,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie of course, just being Mom Donnie. He's doing
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: lots of interviews. I don't know if he does any work.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: There's no sign of him actually doing anything as mayor.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: The good news about Mom Donnie. People have said, I
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: don't want to say who, but they've said a couple
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: of things. One, he doesn't really do anything. It's all talk.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: He just gets out there and he talks, and he
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: talks a mile a minute, and he does one interview
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: after another, and it's pointing people and they talk and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: he talks and they talk, but nobody ever actually does anything.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: The other thing is people say they believe he's not
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a very courageous person. He's basically kind of a coward.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: So these big, big controversial things he's proposing, he may
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: never actually pull the trigger on and may never actually
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: do any of them, But he does love to talk here.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I never saw guy do so many interviews. Yesterday he's
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: talking a good morning, good day in New York. Hello, Schenectady,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: He's talking to New York want anywhere and everywhere, talking
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: about anything and everything.
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: For too many years, the relationship between Albany and City
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: Hall has been defined by dysfunction and discourse, by feuds
• 36:11
  Speaker 13: and by factionalism. Petty grievances have interfered with the work
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: of serving the people.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: But again, it's just talk. You just get up there
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and you talk, and for too many years you talk
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: like this, and you sound like you're making some important
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: point and nobody's listening, and meantime you're getting nothing done.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And then of course there's all his left wing stuff.
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: Obviously that's not an opinion that I share.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: And oh, Ally, you.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: Know what this is.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: This is he appointed this woman to run housing, real
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: left wing cook. Now you just have to accept this.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Mondonie is basically the third term of Deblasio. And it's
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the same as Deblasi. You point a bunch of left
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: wing kooks who just say left wing kookie things, and
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: everybody looks at their Twitter from three years ago and
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: they can't believe the things that they said. And this
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: woman he appointed to run housing. You go back and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: look at her Twitter. I think she took it down
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, but when people looked at
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: her Twitter from two years ago, three years ago, she's
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: tweeting all kinds of nonsense. She said, owning a home
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: is white supremacy. Nobody should be allowed to have private property.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, all this Unamerican nonsense, crazy stuff. So Mom
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Donnie was asked about her.
• 37:17
  Speaker 12: Obviously, that's not an opinion that I share. And I
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: made the decision to have her as our executive director
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: of the Mayor's Office to protect tenants, not because of
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: her comments, but because of her work. She is someone
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: who has won significant victories for tenants, not just in
• 37:29
  Speaker 12: New York City, but across the entirety of the state
• 37:32
  Speaker 12: formative part of what was an upstate downstate coalition, and
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: we've seen her already hard at work in this past week.
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: She's someone who has been a core part of our
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: efforts to coordinate rental ripoff hearings across the city, as
• 37:44
  Speaker 12: well as informing tenants of their rights in a city
• 37:46
  Speaker 12: where oftentimes they're not made aware of them.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's all you got to do, is if
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you want to be a Mom Donney type of mayor,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you just talk very fast and you sound like you
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: know what you're talking about, and you say things like,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: she has made incredible strides since she's she's gotten so
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: much accomplished with housing. Well, if that were true, you
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have the housing problem. You just ran saying it's
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: all out of control and terrible. So what strides did
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: she make? But you ask Mom Donnie. He can talk
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: for an hour on any subject, two hours if he
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: happens to know something about it. But here he is
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on Venezuela. He called the President.
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: Well, I wanted to make clear to the President directly
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: that these were the thoughts that I had, and they
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: were also the thoughts that I was about to share
• 38:23
  Speaker 12: with the world. And this is not just an action
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: taken by a federal administration abroad. It's also an action
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: that then implicates New York City because right now, Nicholas
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: mother Roa is here in New York City, and my
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: job as the mayor of New York City is to
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: ensure that any federal action has a limited impact, if
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: any on the day to day lives of New Yorker.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: You really don't. I'm looking at the window right now
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and mid tam Manhattan, and all these people walking around.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: They don't seem to be worried about Maduro. Here's in
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: New York. He's actually in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Detention Center.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: He's in federal custody, in the federal system. Again, I'm
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: looking at everybody else. There's a million people walking around
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: out there. They don't seem concerned about it. They don't
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: seem to be worrying about it. Now, here's the good
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: news about this whole mom, Donnie Mesk. The city council
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Speaker's in charge of the city council really has a
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: lot of power, at least as much as the mayor.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: And some would argue the city council speaker has more
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: power than the mayor. Well, with the crazy left wing,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: kooky mayor, and of course you got a lot of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: crazy left wing cooks on the city council. Somehow they
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: just elected a normal, moderate, common sense woman. Her name
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: is Menon. She is the new city council speaker. She's
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: not a left wing cook, very normal, very sane, very rational,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: And again, the city council has at least as much
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: power as the mayor. Some would argue more, but here
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: she is. We obviously now she's also Jewish. With the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: anti Semitic mayor, you've got a Jewish City Council speaker
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: who will do everything to protect the Jewish community.
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: We obviously need to protect the First Amendment right to
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: peacefully protest. That is sacri but what we cannot have
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: is a situation which we've had in New York, and
• 40:04
  Speaker 14: we saw it at Parky Synagogue where people were trying
• 40:06
  Speaker 14: to worship that evening and they felt intimidated and harassed.
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: We are going to be doing legislation to create safe
• 40:13
  Speaker 14: perimeters around all houses of worship and around schools so that, yes,
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: of course people can peacefully protest, that's sacricying. But what
• 40:21
  Speaker 14: you cannot do is intimidate and harass people as they're
• 40:24
  Speaker 14: trying to go to school, go to their house of worship.
• 40:27
  Speaker 14: So we're really going to be aggressive about that.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So in a way things might be better right
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: now than with Deblasio, because with the Blasio you had
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: a left wing kookie mayor and you had a left
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: wing kookie city council speaker. But now yeah, half of
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: the half of the duo is saying rational and somebody
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: alike men and is the new city council speaker. Now,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: as I said, Mom, Donnie's like the third term of Deblasio.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: And one thing about the Blasio it was bad, but
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: we got through it just fine. It wasn't survivable like
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Deblasio and de Blasi was the same way, kind of lazy,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: didn't really do anything, love to talk a lot, was
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: greate at speeches. Remember to Blasio never came to work.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: He would wake up and go to Brooklyn to that
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Like. He'd be in that gym for a couple hours.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Then there was a little cafe coffee shop. He'd go
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: in there for a couple hours. He would show up
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: at city Hall about four o'clock, take a nap for
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: half an hour, and then leave and that was about it. Mom,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Donnie likes to be at city Hall and he loves
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: doing interviews, and he talks real fast and just keeps answering.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: You can ask him anything, and then they come up
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: with these ideas. The one thing about these left wing types,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: these Mom Donnie, They've got a million ideas from a
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: program for the homeless. They got a program for this,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: they got pre k, they got daycare, all these ideas,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: nothing ever really happens. They just talk about it. The
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: universal pre k.
• 41:52
  Speaker 13: Not only when we make pre k truly universal, but
• 41:55
  Speaker 13: expand this care to include all two and three year
• 41:59
  Speaker 13: old across the city. As the governor said, we will
• 42:06
  Speaker 13: deliver two care by working in partnership with childcare providers,
• 42:10
  Speaker 13: especially home based providers.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're cheering and chit it love that universal pre k,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: not just pre K, universal pre k, and they get
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: all excited. And then just like in Minnesota, whenever they
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: do this stuff, these left wing Democrat programs a couple
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: of years ago is by an ALVII billions missing, billions
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: of dollars missing in pre k. Remember the the Blasio
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A billion dollars went missing.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: And of course the media is a Democrat. They never
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: looked to see what happened to it. Yeah, it's Minnesota.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: That's why they're going crazy. Another reason they're going crazy
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: over this shooting. It gets that Somalia childcare, daycare, eighteen
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: billion missing, gets it out of the headlines, gets it
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: out of the news. Everybody forgets about it for a minute.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Luigi Manngioni going to court today, the big day in court,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: there'd be a big fight, and his attorney's well, the
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: first thing you're trying to do is get the death
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: penalty off the table. That's the one thing.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: The other thing is they think they can get some
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: of the evidence tossed out that got him arrested, although
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I doubt that. Now here's the problem. A lot of
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: these experts that hunt for fugitives say, this kid was
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: really stupid about a lot of things. You know, it
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: was right out there, look out the window, right across
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the street. Right there, that's where he shot the guy,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: right across the street, the New York Kilton. It's on
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the corner where the New York Kilton is, and we're
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: iHeart right here across the street. But you know, on
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: that corner in Manhattan, there's a surveillance camera everywhere, every inch.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: It's true of all of Manhattan, all the New York City.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: They got surveillance cameras everywhere. So if you shoot a
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: guy on that corner, there's going to be video of
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you from every angle shooting the guy. So they got
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: him there. The other thing is if you're a fugitive
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and you're on the lamb, if you're like a David
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Jansen fugitive, if you're a Harrison Ford fugitive fleeing and
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: you're in these little small towns, you're supposed to go
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: into these little mom and pop places if you got
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: to get some food. You're not supposed to go into McDonald's.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: And he made a huge mistake. He wasn't thinking if
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: you go into a McDonald's. This is a big national chain.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: You know, you can go to any McDonald's anywhere in
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: They all look the same. And one thing they put
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: in all the McDonald's is extremely tight surveillance. They've got
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: cameras everywhere, every angle, so you can it's easy to
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: be on surveillance cameras if you're in McDonald's. You go
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: into a little mom and pop general store, they're probably
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: not so sophisticated tech wise. But he went into McDonald's
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: where there was a ton of surveillance cameras on him,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and you know, he's using a credit card every so
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: it just did make sense. It was easy to catch him.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: The locals caught him. The people in McDonald's thought he
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: looked like the shooter, you know, with that one big
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: unibrow eyebrow, and the he's kind of a distinctive looking guy.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: So they called the police. The police came arrested him.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: So they're trying to get that tossed out and that
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: somehow he was illegally arrested or that he had the
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: wrong evidence. I don't know what they're gonna argue, but
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: they're gonna try. Hey, by the way, the Vice President
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: of Great press conference yesterday, Vice President Vance. But they've
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: also announced, you got this Somali fraud and it looks
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: like it's going to be even worse in California, even
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: worse in Illinois. So they've announced the Department of Justice
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: is creating a whole new Assistant Attorney General whose only
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: focus will be on this fraud. Start with Minnesota, go
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: after them, then go to California, then go to these
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: other states. So he'll be one attorney general assistant Attorney
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: general just focused on this fraud, on doing something about
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: it and try to stop it. And by the way,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: we would, Ma'm donnie. You know, he went after Trump
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: like crazy on Venezuela, attacked him. Trump was asked about it.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: He's done a lot of interviews, as he did a
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: great hour on Hannity last night. You'll probably hear it
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: on the Hannity Radio show today here on WOR he
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: did a New York Times. I don't know why he
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: does this The New York Times. These people hate his guts.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: But he brought him into the Oval office game a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: couple hours of his time. But they said, what about
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Mam Donnie attacking you like crazy on Venezuela? And he
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: actually said, you know, the guy was here. We got
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: along great. I was really nice to him. And Trump says, quote,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: he's got a great personality. He's a nice guy. His
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: policies are not good, but who knows, maybe he changes.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: But he said the way he attacked me, I thought
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the guy would wait at least three or four weeks
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: before going after me. We just had a great time together.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I thought it would take him a few weeks before
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: he goes But nope, he didn't wait at all. Went
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: right after him. Now you know who Jamie Diamond is.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: He's the chairman of JP Morgan Chase. He's considered the
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: best CEO in America, top CEO. He's the greatest CEO
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: obviously in banking guess what he made last year. What
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: would you pay a guy like that? They had a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: great year JP Morgan Chase. What do you think they
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: pay him? Well, last year he made seven one hundred
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: and seventy million dollars. Seven one hundred and seventy million dollars. Nah,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a lot, but hey, after taxes, it's
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: only five hundred million. So now, actually there's a big
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: asterisk on this. They didn't pay him that. He made
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: about I think twenty five million in salary, which is
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: normal for a big CEO of a major corporation. You know,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: if they trust you with a eight hundred billion dollar
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: company and you've got to run it, that's what you
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: get paid. And most of this money was he had
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: stock options. You know, if you really want to be fair,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: pay the guy with stock options. That way, if he
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: makes the stock go up, he makes money. If he
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: screws up and the stock goes down, he loses money.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase had the greatest year ever. I think
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: they were the biggest stock in America, up thirty four
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: percent for the year, major stock up thirty four percent
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: for the year. So that's how he made that money. Now,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: what would that mean JP Morgan Chase going up thirty
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: four percent? I don't know. I mean, I don't have
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: the numbers in front of me. But let's say that
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: means an extra three hundred billion. So if you made
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: somebody three hundred billion, hey, I guess you could get
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: paid seven hundred and seventy million. So I know you're
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: supposed to get mad at them. You know, in California
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: they hate these people. They in fact, they want to
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: have a five percent tax on all these billionaires, a
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: one time In other words, they would take five percent
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: of their money, not their income, all the money they
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: have in the bank, everything just sees five percent of it,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: a one time tax, five percent. They're trying to get
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: this passed now. Some billionaires have already left. Six billionaires,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: major figures, Peter Thiel, others have moved out of the state.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: They've left because they don't want to pay Let's say
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: you got twenty billion your tax there would be uh
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: one billion. You'd have to hand over write a check
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: for one billion. So they're rather than pay it, they're
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: leaving six of them. There's a couple of staying. The
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Navidia chairman said he has no plans to leave the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: big another billionaires, a real estate guy, Sobrato. He's staying put.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: But he said he doesn't expect this, but this thing
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: to pass. He doesn't think it'll pass. Hey, now, the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: other things if you leave, like all these guys just
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: left right now, they're going to pay this. They're saying,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: when they pass this tax, it'll be retroactive. Even if
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you left, you still have to pay it. However, good
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: luck trying to collect that if the person is gone. Hey, well,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: the number eight hundred three to two one zero seven
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: ten set up on.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: The iHeart radio app to wor to hear Mark live.
• 50:04
  Speaker 10: Set another from Mark's podcast to hear him anytime.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Now back to Mark Damon on woor Hey, let's take
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: some calls. Let's go to h Doreen, Duchess County.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Doreen.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: How you doing fine?
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: Mark?
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: How are you today?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: I have a question. Yesterday I went to renew my
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: license and they have a new procedure. They asked you
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: if you want to change your voting party or or
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: you register to vote there. Question is with all those
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: illegal licenses at one California and all over. I was
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: wondering how they did it.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Did you have to show any
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: kinds of ID or anything?
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: Or I had my ID there. And then another time
• 50:49
  Speaker 9: when I was in the Bronx, I got a pamphlet
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: that was already checked off for the Democratic Party and
• 50:55
  Speaker 9: they asked me to sign it and mail it in.
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: But I'm a Republican. So they have other ways been
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: seating with the voting registrations there and everything else.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: It's true now when you say go to the motor
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: vehicle department, that's like a nightmare. If you're in the
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: middle of New York City, you have a waiting line
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: for ten hours, there's sixty thousand people. But you're in
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Dutchess County, right, there's probably no line. It's a quiet,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: little Andy Green.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: No, it's changing, Mark, No, it's changed. Oh, really saying
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: all over there's that urbanization all over. Now, that's what
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: Trump said that they wanted to do, and they did it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Where are you in Dutchess County. Oh, I don't know
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: what that is, but it sounds fine, it sounds one.
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: It's all oh, well, there you go.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: It's by Beakman. Well that place all right, Thanks for
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: calling now, it sounds nice. Thanks for calling.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: Take care.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you.
• 51:44
  Speaker 15: Doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay. I heard the
• 51:48
  Speaker 15: clip you played of Julia mennon uh speaking about protecting
• 51:53
  Speaker 15: the houses of worship. That's part of a larger interview
• 51:56
  Speaker 15: that she gave with John Kats and Matit. He's on
• 51:59
  Speaker 15: his Ball and show yesterday, and he directly asked her
• 52:04
  Speaker 15: about the real estate and that the real estate community
• 52:08
  Speaker 15: is really worried and the reason why he mentioned it,
• 52:11
  Speaker 15: and she totally avoided the question. She's a co sponsor
• 52:18
  Speaker 15: along with counselwoman Nurse, who came up with this law
• 52:23
  Speaker 15: that you have to offer it to the nonprofit first
• 52:27
  Speaker 15: and then secondly, and I don't know how you're going
• 52:30
  Speaker 15: to go to contract with a private buyer. After you
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: go to contract, you have to then re offer it
• 52:36
  Speaker 15: to them. And she totally avoided the question because she
• 52:43
  Speaker 15: is the co sponsor of that law. And Michael Goodwin
• 52:48
  Speaker 15: a couple of weeks ago before she was inaugurated, Michael
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: Goodwin talked about that and he said he was hoping
• 52:58
  Speaker 15: that Eric Adams. What she didn't do with a veto
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: vito the law because it wasn't veto proof they didn't
• 53:05
  Speaker 15: have enough votes. But he says, I doubt that because
• 53:10
  Speaker 15: she's a co sponsor of the law. So I heard
• 53:13
  Speaker 15: her wiggling scream, you know, I wish you the best
• 53:16
  Speaker 15: and special, especially with the houses of worship and the
• 53:21
  Speaker 15: anti Semitic activity uh going on in this city. But
• 53:26
  Speaker 15: she avoided the question.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: All right, she's a slimy politician, but she's more more
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: of a centrist than you usually get.
• 53:34
  Speaker 15: Oh no, definitely that other one, well, was it Adriana
• 53:38
  Speaker 15: Adams who? Yeah, well she was a cut off the
• 53:42
  Speaker 15: old Uh, she was a chip off the old man.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time since we had a normal middle.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: Of the road. It's good. It boats well, yeah, all.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Right, Vincent, thanks for calling. It's just a good especially
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: when I'm Donnie in office. You want a a centrist,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: moderate city council speaker, and she is like a not
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: as good as Peter Valone, but like that sort of person.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: So hey, there's a lot of restaurants opening all over
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: the place. Things are booming in New York. Buildings are
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: going up skyscrapers everywhere. But we just lost one of
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: the great landmark theater restaurants Broadway Times Square Cafe Un
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: d'utois been there fifty years. A lot of famous faces
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: in there, a lot of people in the theater district.
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: The big, big, big Broadway restaurants were Joe Allen Ors
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Sardis and that one it's closing. It doesn't say exactly why,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: just says too expensive expenses of skyrocketed rent is very
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: very very expensive. Employees also added the ones hopping lunch
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: business has dried up since the pandemic. A lot of
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: people not going back to the office, so they go
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: back like three days a week. So it wasn't enough
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: to keep them going. But a lot of people went
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: there through the years. Hey, when we come back. Bruce Blakeman,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: best county executive in America and the next governor of
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: New York coming up. We'll talk to him next on
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: seven to ten w R seven ten wrs. Mark Simon, Well,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, I think will be the next governor of
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: New York, and he's the most qualified person to be.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: You couldn't have a better choice for the next governor
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: of New York. He's the Nassau County executive. He's the
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: best county executive in America. And that's basically being a governor.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: It's the same kind of job. And he's with us
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: right now. Bruce Blakeman, how you doing, Hey, Mark.
• 55:35
  Speaker 8: It's always to be with you, your dear friend, and
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: it's always great when we get together, whether we're in
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: person or over the phone on the radio. And I
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: appreciate everything.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: That you do.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll see a Monday, because Monday is inauguration day
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: second term.
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: Yes, so again, then i'll see a year from now
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: for the next inauguration.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. So it's like three inaugurations with you
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: in this short period of time exactly. If people want
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: to help you with the campaign, donate, help, volunteer, what
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: can they do?
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: Blakeman for New York dot com. That's my website on there.
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: You can volunteer, you can donate, you can send us suggestions.
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: You can about all of the stupid rules that we
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: have in New York State that make it so difficult
• 56:23
  Speaker 8: to do business. We're the most overregulated state in the
• 56:27
  Speaker 8: United States. You can complain about your tax bill because
• 56:31
  Speaker 8: we are the most highly taxed state in the United States.
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: I would love to hear from you, and we could
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: use all the support out there. And we feel very,
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: very comfortable that we have the momentum and we have
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: the issues on our side, and we need a governor
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: that actually cares about New Yorkers. It puts New Yorkers first,
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: and someone that will make New Yorkers happy because most
• 56:55
  Speaker 8: New Yorkers are miserable with Kathy Hoche's leadership.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, it comes to the ice shooting or whatever
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: the issue. She seems to go very far to the left.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Is she making a mistake going so far to the left.
• 57:07
  Speaker 8: Well, she makes one mistake after the other. Let me
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: let mean an example. Market weeks ago, we had a
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: robbery in Nassau County of a jewelry store and through
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: good police work with our Nasau County Police Department, who
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: are the best, and working with our international law enforcement partners,
• 57:28
  Speaker 8: we were able to track down the perpetrator and this
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: person was arrested. And that's what we found when we
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: arrested this individual, that this individual was remaining had an
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: Irish passport, came to America from Mexico through Arizona with
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: the Biden Harris policy of open borders, made their way
• 57:55
  Speaker 8: to New York and then they engaged in a spree
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: larsony and stealing from businesses and people here in the
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: whole metropolitan area. So we arrested this guy and guess
• 58:10
  Speaker 8: what a he had a New York State driver's life
• 58:16
  Speaker 8: under Kathy Hoche's leadership, somebody who could have been vetted
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: by just sending out a request from international law enforcement
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: for a warrant search. We would find that places like
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: the UK and other places had arrest warrants out for
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: this guy. But we don't get that in New York.
• 58:38
  Speaker 8: We give it to illegal aliens. We give it to
• 58:41
  Speaker 8: people without a background chap. If we fingerprinted this individual
• 58:46
  Speaker 8: before giving them a driver's license, we would have been
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: able to apprehend them. And here's the worst part. When
• 58:53
  Speaker 8: we arrested this individual, if Nassau County didn't have a
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: comprehensive agreement with ICE, this guy would be back on
• 59:00
  Speaker 8: the trip. Because of cashless bail, a judge wouldn't be
• 59:04
  Speaker 8: able to hold an legal migrant with international lawrence, and
• 59:08
  Speaker 8: this person would be released back into community to commit
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: crimes against the people in the metropolitan area. But because
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: we had the agreement with Ice, we were able to qualize.
• 59:19
  Speaker 8: They picked this individual up and this individual is now
• 59:23
  Speaker 8: on his way back to Mexico or Romania or Ireland
• 59:27
  Speaker 8: or wherever he came from.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's one less Kathy Hochel voter. You've taken time exactly.
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: That's why they're doing it.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, the election is a long way away, but you
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: are working hard already. I know you wanted to see
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills game, but when you were up there,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: you did a lot of meeting with people, voters. They
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: got out there with people. What did you think of
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: upstate New York.
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, the people up there are very warm.
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: I spent a lot of time up there, not just
• 59:55
  Speaker 8: in politics, but you know, I've been in business for
• 59:58
  Speaker 8: many years, not only is a warrior, but but also
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: as a consulting I've represented some of the largest companies
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 8: in the United States. I was involved in the transportation industry,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 8: so I know the state very very well. And one
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: of the things that was really disappointing to me was
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 8: the fact that so many people were miserable. And when
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 8: you ask them why they they're miserable, they say, first
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 8: of all, our communities are no longer safe, and there's
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: no economic development, nothing going on upstate except for a few,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: you know, a few different areas. There's a couple of
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 8: projects going on. One is in the Onondaga County, but
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 8: other than that, there's nothing going on. And we have
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 8: one of the largest national natural gas reserves in the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: world in the southern tier of New York State, and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: we don't allow any drilling. We don't allow any fracking
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: of that natural gas. So we have an energy shortage.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 8: We have expensive energy. Here's cheap energy right in our state,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: and we can't do anything. Across the border. In Pennsylvania,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: they allow fracking. They have businesses set up that are
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 8: getting this natural gas out, making cheaper energy and creating
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: prosperity and jobs for the area. In one side of
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 8: the border on Pennsylvania, they're driving brand new Cadillacs. On
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: the New York side, they're driving out driving around with rusty, old,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 8: five year old pickup trucks. So we need economic development
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 8: in this state. We need to create job, we need
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: to create prosperity. That's how you make it more affordable,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 8: putting more money in people's pockets so they can make
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 8: choices on how they want to spend money.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well Bruce Blackman would be the best governor. You
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: can go to Blakeman from New York dot com if
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: you want to help. Blakemanfromnewyork dot com. Now they talk
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: about affordability, yet the MTA just raise the fair which
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: is upset a lot of people. Congestion, pricing, all that stuff.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: But you know how the MTA works, isn't it just
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of waste Instead of raising fares, can't you
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: just cut the costs.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 8: Of course, you can cut the cost you can make
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: it more efficient, and you make it work for people.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: There's something going on here that you know, basically is
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 8: a scam. The MPa gets three revenue sources lotly four.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: They get federal money, they get money from sales tax revenue,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: they get money from employer a roll taxes. And they
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 8: have the revenue streams in addition to their fares. And
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 8: they're always broke. They have a system that's broken. They
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: have railroad stations here on Long Island that are falling
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: into terrible disrepair. Nobody's riding the subways because unsafe. They
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: want to cut back on things like having two conductors
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: on a subway train, when two conductors on a subway
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: train would bring more people into the subways because they
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 8: would feel safer. And they don't invest in their equipment.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: They don't invest in their railroad and subway stations, and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: they are bloated bureaucracy with these big revenue streams and
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 8: where does the money go. And Governor Hopell can't explain
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 8: that it's her job to make sure that our transportation
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 8: system runs efficiently. But people don't want to go on
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 8: the subways because they're not safe. People out on Long
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 8: Island or in the Hudson Valley, they don't want to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 8: use the railroads because the stations are falling into terrible disrepair.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: And we have to have a governor who understands transportation
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 8: like I do. Understands that you have to market these
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 8: transportation sources. They have to be safe, they have to
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: be clean, they have to be inviting to people. Otherwise
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: people are just going to get in their car. Yeah,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 8: and that's why we have a traffic problem the way
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 8: we do in the metropolitan area.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: And Bruce Blakeman has done all this stuff that county's
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: it's basically being a governor. When you're a county executive
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: and he's cleaned up everything, crime and budget, all that stuff.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Now we only got like a minute left. What a
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: chance does the Republican have to win? What was the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: demographic makeup and party makeup of the state.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so I won reelection in a county that's larger
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 8: than eight to ten states in population, with one hundred
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 8: and ten thousand more Democrats, which meetings. In order for
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 8: me to win, I have to depend on not just
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 8: Republican and conservative voters, but independent voters and crossover Democrats
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 8: what I call common sense Democrats. We want in the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 8: landslide and the last election because we built a coalition
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 8: not based on what we disagree upon, but what we
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: agree upon. Everybody wants safer communities. Everybody wants more jobs,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 8: everybody wants more pay, everybody wants better benefits and healthcare,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 8: and they're not getting it from our date. So they
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: like what I've done here in Nassau County. It's the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: safety county in America. Each magazine said we're the most
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 8: desirable place to live in New York State. I can
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 8: take those principles and bring it statewide, including the City
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 8: of New York, and make it an affordable place to live,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 8: place where you're safer and a place where your kids
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 8: and your grandchildren are going to want to stay here
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 8: and raise there.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: This here.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Bruce Blakeman would be a great governor. I
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: can't think of anybody better for it. If you want
• 1:05:25

• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: see you Monday.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 8: Mark, thank you so much. Happy New Year.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Make God bless you all right, Mike, thanks for being
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: with us. Take care. That's a Bruce Blakeman who I think,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I know he should be the governor. I think he
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: will be the next governor of New York. Hey, don't
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: forget tonight Jimmy Fayala excellent show. Have you heard it?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: If not, you should start listening nine to midnight. Great
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: every night here on seven to ten wor.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 10: Marximone on sevent TENR.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it's Friday, end of the week, so this weekend
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: you can already see the Sunday shows. It'll be all
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: over ice murdering people left and right. The media trying
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: to spin that every which way they can. So Vice
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: President Vance did a press conference yesterday where he talked
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 10: What is I'm sorry, guys, what's going on here? You
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 10: guys are meant to report the truth. How have you
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 10: let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 10: that's making it harder for us to enforce our laws.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 10: You just asked me a question that presumed that the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 10: reason why this woman died is because she was engaged
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 10: in legitimate protests. She tried to run somebody over with
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 10: her car, and the guy defended himself when that happened.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Now, once again, let me repeat. If you talk to
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: the top finest people in law enforcement off the record,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: they've all kind of said the same thing to me.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: The shooting is justified, it's legal. But they also said,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to fire those shots. I mean, you
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: can legally, and it's borderline, but a really, really, really
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: good cop might have even though he got out of
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: the way of the car. Just let it go. We'll
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: catch her later. But if you do fire, it's totally
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: legal and justified. He was in front of the car.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: They don't show you the videos from the front where
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: you see the car hit him.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: You see the videos.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Where he's on the side firing into the side. But
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: if you watch the video, it's up on my Twitter
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: if you want to watch it. In the video from
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: the front, the car hits him and knocks him to
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: the side, and the first shot he fired went through
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: the front windshield, which means he was in front of
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: the car. She was heading right at him. You couldn't
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: fire a shot through the front windshield if you were
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: on the side of the car. So there'll be no
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: criminal problem for him. But you're going to hear about
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: this all weekend long, and they'll keep doing this for
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: weeks and weeks. It gets rid of the Somali story
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: and other stuff. Hey, we're out of time. Don't forget.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: If you're a podcast listener, you get a special bonus segment.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: You get like another show on the weekends. Otherwise, I'll
• 1:08:13

• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Thanks for listening, Thanks for everything.
• 1:08:18
