  Speaker 1: And now, Mark Simone on 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Well,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. We'll talk with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman about the governor's race and the debate coming
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: up on Tuesday. We'll take a look at a lot
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Now, this ICE shooting, let's just clear up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff here. ICE is in New York
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: last night, yesterday. And here's the problem.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The....
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security has asked local police everywhere to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE. If ICE has to come in and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: arrest people, it's the position of the Trump administration. They
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: would prefer that the illegals just be turned over to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ICE peacefully. For instance, in New York City jails, we
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: have 15,000 illegals who are also criminals. That's why they're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in jail. They've committed crimes and they're here illegally. ICE
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: has asked that New York City turn them over, peacefully
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: turn over these prisoners to ICE so they could be deported.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: If you're here illegally, you should be deported. If you're
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: here illegally and you're a criminal, of course you should
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: be deported. And that's the Trump administration policy when it
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: comes to deportation. They want to first and foremost just
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: go after criminals, illegal criminals committing crimes, rape, robbery, gang members,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. that are here illegally, deport them.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And they've been doing that. They've done 500,000 already. 500,000
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of these criminals have been deported. That's one reason the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: crime numbers keep coming down all over America. All these
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: different cities, crime has dropped. Yeah, that's why, because they've
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: taken these illegal who are committing crimes. You've gotten, just
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: here in New York, they've gotten a couple thousand criminals
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: out of here. Now, they've arrested 500,000 of these criminals
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: off the streets. 500,000 out of these 500,000, there've been
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: about three of these incidents where they had to shoot somebody.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Three out of 500,000. It's a pretty good record. So
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: what happened with this guy yesterday, he's an illegal, he's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: gang affiliated, he's got some crimes, he's got a rap sheet,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but it's New York. So even though he confessed that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: he was guilty on the last robbery, They gave him probation.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They didn't put him in jail. They let him run
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: around the streets. So he's got a kid in the car.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It's believed it's his child, a five-year-old. Here's what we know.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Forget all the yelling and screaming and grandstanding. This is
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: what we know. We have surveillance cameras all over the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: streets of New York. You can see on the surveillance
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: camera that this guy's driving with the kid in his car,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and he sees a parking space, and he backs up
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: trying to pull into this parking space. And as he's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: pulling in, ICE agents approach the car. One on the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: driver's side, and then one comes from the passenger's side. Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: this is a criminal with a rap sheet, and he's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a criminal who's been approached by ICE before. ICE has
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: tried to detain him before. So a lot of times
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: when you've got a real career criminal who's had run-ins
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with the police, they don't want to get arrested again,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: He's also on probation, which would send him to prison.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So he sees the ICE agents approach. They're undercover, but,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know, he assumes they're cops. And this is what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you can see on the surveillance camera. As they approach
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: his car, as he's trying to pull into the space,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he sees them and he pulls out of the space,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: trying to speed away from them. Well, unfortunately, that's where
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it goes out of camera range and there isn't another
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: surveillance camera on the street. So that's what the police
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: commissioner has confirmed. On the New York City cameras, you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: can see as ICE agents approach, he pulls away. Now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what the Department of Homeland Security is saying, and they
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: say they have body cameras that show this. They haven't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: released it yet, but they say they will release it later.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They want the investigation to take place first. And then
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they said they will release the body camera footage. So
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: if they release it and their story holds up with
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the body cam footage, Then that's it, case closed, shooting justified.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What they're saying is, as the guy tried to speed
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: away with his car, there were other ICE agents in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: cars and they tried to box him in so he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't get away. And then apparently he rammed his car
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: into these law enforcement cars. He rammed his car into
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: theirs and then tried to run over some police officers,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: some ICE agents who were standing there. Not in cars,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but standing on the street. He tried to run them over. Well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: if this is the case, they're saying that's what happened.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: If the body cam footage backs it up, then that's it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Justified shooting. Absolutely, thousand percent justified. So we're just waiting
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to see that body cam footage. I would assume it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: all true, because why would the Secretary of Homeland Security
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: say all this, release all this, if he couldn't back
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it up? So we're just waiting for that body cam footage.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And that's the end of the matter. Despite the grandstanding,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: despite Mamdani.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: New York City will not stand by while ICE agents
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: shoot New Yorkers. And we will not back down from
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: time and again. This is an agency that must be abolished.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're not shooting New Yorkers. No New Yorkers are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: targets of ICE. They're going after illegals. who are not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: supposed to be here, illegals, and only after illegals have
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: committed crimes and are gang-affiliated or have rap sheets. And now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: after this, Mamdani goes into a rage, grandstanding like crazy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He says he was on the phone. Listen to this.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: For the past two hours, I have been on the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullen, negotiating the release
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's the real story. He was on the phone
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: with Mullen and the Department of Homeland Security for two hours. Yes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the president talked to him, but that was five minutes
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of the two hours. Now, here's the problem. When he
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: demanded the release of this guy, the Trump administration agreed
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to release the guy. They said they would release him
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to the NYPD as long as the NYPD would hold
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the guy in custody. That's not what Mamdani was asking for.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Mamdani demanded the guy be released back into the streets.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Dangerous criminal. He wanted him released back into the streets.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: This is obviously irrational, obviously reckless, stupid. Now, the ICE
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: agents fired at the car. Apparently, they fired seven shots.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Only one went through the windshield. You can see one
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: bullet hole, and it hit this illegal officer. in the neck.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He was taken to the hospital. Apparently, he was not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: badly hurt, not too badly hurt, because they released him.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Hours later, they released him. So, that was what Mamdani
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: was demanding. He was demanding they let this guy go,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: let him back into the streets. This criminal with the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: rap sheet, this is typical Mamdani. Criminal, career criminal, gang affiliations,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: let him roam the streets. That's what Mamdani was fighting for. Now,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: One reason he might be grandstanding like crazy, this is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: October 8th yesterday. October 7th, Mamdani got himself into a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: lot of trouble. Mamdani crossed a line on October 7th.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He's openly anti-Semitic, very anti-Israel, but to the point where
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it's obvious anti-Semitism. You know, if you hate Israel, the country,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: for some reason, that's one thing. You lay out exactly
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: what you don't want them to do And you try
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to get them to stop doing something. If you want
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Israel gone, abolished, then you're anti-Semitic. You know, they keep saying,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just anti-Israel. You can't separate the two completely. Every
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: ethnic group has a homeland, a country. The French have
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a country. It's called France. Germany has a country. It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: called Germany. The Brits have a country. It's called the UK, England.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: To say that one ethnic group, the Jews, can't have
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a homeland... It's absolute anti-Semitism. Of course they have to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have a homeland. Of course they should have a homeland.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Of course they should have a country. So it's real anti-Semitism.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But October 7th, he pretended to be somewhat supportive of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the Jews by going to this vigil, this candlelight vigil
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: for those killed on October 7th. But then he published
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: online the most disgusting, vile, anti-Semitic, stuff against Jews, against Israel.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It was just horrifying. And the reason I say he
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: crossed the line, there were people that were defending him
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: on his anti-Semitism. You know, even political commentators. You know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Mark Halpern, who, this guy's all over the map, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: even he always defended Mamdani. He said, you know, obviously
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: he's not fond of Jews, but you're throwing the anti-Semitism
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: word around too much. He was defending. There were people
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: like that. Well, after October 7th, they all came out
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: publicly and said, I was wrong. This guy is an anti-Semite.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So some of the people, even some of the Democrats
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: who were defending Mamdani after October 7th and what he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: published said, to do this, to publish this anytime is horrible.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: To do it on October 7th is absolutely an outrage.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So even a lot of the people defending Mondani turned
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on him. They said he clearly is deeply, deeply anti-Semitic.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So he went too far. Now, the problem is he
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: was trying to play both sides of the aisle, the Jews,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the Jew haters. But he ended up getting them all
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: mad at him. Jews were jeering him. And then his
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: anti-Semitic base, well, they were mad at him too for
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: going to the vigil. So clearly he crossed the line,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: really crossed the line. And lost both sides. So that's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: why when this ICE shooting happened, I think he went
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: crazy trying to grandstand off it. Hey, now there's another
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: problem here. Mamdani appointed all these crazies into all these
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: departments here. He's got a new transportation secretary. You know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they always get this war on cars. First, they put
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in bike lanes. Then there's certain Bloomberg was guilty of this,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: this war on cars. Made a pedestrian plaza right in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the middle of Times Square. No cars. Herald Square, it's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: just ridiculous. You look at, look out the window here,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Sixth Avenue. Look at that. Used to be like a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: five-lane street. Now it's two lanes of bike lanes. It's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: another bike lane. It's a pedicab lane. It's an electric
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: scooter lane. Maybe there's one lane for cars who could,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. So they screwed up the streets. They're trying
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to stop, you know, make more, they want to do
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: more pedestrian plazas. But listen to this, Mondani's transportation boss.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: They're really trying to win this war on cars. They're
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: going to go after parking spaces. They're going to go
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: after parking. As the Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: told an audience that car owners are wealthy elitists and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: we should go after them. He said car owning is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a burden for the lower income. He's going to target parking.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: He said it's a giveaway. So I guess they're going
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to go after the parking spaces. and make it impossible
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to park. They'll do anything to get these cars to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: go away. Now, if you park in a garage in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: New York, or you live in a building where you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: got a garage, they could try to go after the garages.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That's tough though, because all these, the garage, like the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: one over there, they rent it from the building. The
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: building is the landlord, not the city. But you'll see
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the city, there are municipal lots. You'll see them probably
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: go after those. They're trying to do this. Now, how
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: many people own cars? Staten Island, 85% have cars. Queens, 63%
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: have cars. This is the majority in Queens and Staten Island. Brooklyn,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it's 45%, about half. The Bronx, it's 40%. Manhattan, just 23%
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: have cars. But there are some Democrats, and this is ridiculous,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: punishing drivers by making commuting harder. It doesn't force people
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: onto bikes in public transit. It just puts an incredible
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: burden on them. A lot of people are using cars
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: because they need to use a car for one reason
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: or another. And as another person pointed out, transportation is
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: not up to one person. Everybody should have choices. Where's
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: your freedom of choice? You want to have a car?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: You want to have a bike? It should be a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: matter of choice, not the government telling you how you're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: allowed to get around Absolutely ridiculous. Hey, anybody tells you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: New York is dying? Not the case. Manhattan rent. You know,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the rental market's going crazy in Manhattan. People are moving
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: here like crazy. Go try to rent an apartment. You
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: can't do it right now. And if you can, you
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: can find one. The rent is at an all-time high.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Rent average now is $ 6, 800 a month. $ 6, 800 a month.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Manhattan rent's going crazy. Brooklyn has logged the busiest September
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in six years. People coming to New York more than ever.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Vacancy rate is now 1.5%. Fifth consecutive year. That's really low.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: That's incredibly low. That's because the vacancy rate is minuscule
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and there's no inventory. Inventory has now declined year over
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: year for two straight years. So rental going crazy right now,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: which means people are moving here. And remember, people come,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: all the people renting, all these people come and rent.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Many of them will start to buy next year. A
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: lot of people who are renting are trying out a place,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a city. And then if they like it a year,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: two years, they decide to buy. So when the rental
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: market goes crazy, it means the buying market will go
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: crazy next year and the year after. Hey, we'll take
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: some calls next 800-321- 0710 is the number. Give me
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a call, especially if you're a new caller. 800-321-0710.
