1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Now more marximon on seven r. 2 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 2: Hey. 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 3: Luckily it's Friday already, first week of twenty twenty six, 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 3: done and lots to get to. This hour, we'll get 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 3: to Bruce Blakeman. He should be the next governor. We'll 6 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 3: talk to him coming up later this hour. Kathy Hochel 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 3: will look like she will head to the left, far 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 3: to the left, trying to get the nomination. She's closing 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 3: up to Mom Donnie. She's somehow decided that to win, 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 3: she's got to be over there with Mom Donnie, get 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 3: his support his voters, which might be fine in New 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 3: York City, but I don't know, you've got a lot 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 3: of them up state. Remember, Bruce Blakeman just won a 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 3: big election in Nassau County second time. And if you 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 3: look at the makeup of Nassau County, it's very similar 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: to the makeup of New York State. Demographics, party, all 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. So excellent shot. He's far more 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: qualified to be governor than Kathy Ochalist. So we'll talk 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: to him later this hour. By the way, he gets 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: inaugurated for the second term on Monday, big inauguration ceremony. 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, of course, just being Mom Donnie. He's doing 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: lots of interviews. I don't know if he does any work. 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 3: There's no sign of him actually doing anything as mayor 24 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 3: the good news about mom Donnie. People have said, I 25 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: don't want to say who, but they've said a couple 26 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: of things. One, he doesn't really do anything. It's all talk. 27 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: He just gets out there and he talks, and he 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: talks a mile a minute, and he does one interview 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: after another, and it's a pointing people, and they talk 30 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 3: and he talks and they talk, but nobody ever actually 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 3: does anything. The other thing is people say they believe 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: he's not a very courageous person. He's basically a kind 33 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: of a coward. So these big, big controversial things he's proposing, 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: he may never actually pull the trigger on and may 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: never actually do any of them. But he does love 36 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: to talk here. I never saw I do so many interviews. 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: Yesterday he's talking a good morning, good day in New York, Hello, Schenectany. 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 3: He's talking to New York, anywhere and everywhere, talking about 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: anything and everything. 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: For too many years, the relationship between Albany and City 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: Hall has been defined by dysfunction and discourse, by feuds, 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: and by factionalism, petty grievances have interfered with the work 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: of serving the people. 44 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: But again it's just talk. You just get up there 45 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: and you're talking. For too many years. You talk like this, 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: and you sound like you're making some important point and 47 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: nobody's listening, and meantime you're getting nothing done. And then 48 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: of course there's all his left wing stuff. 49 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 4: Obviously that's not an opinion that I share. 50 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: And oh ay, you know what this is. 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: This is he appointed this woman to run housing, real 52 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: left wing cook. Now you just have to accept this. 53 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 3: Mondani is basically the third term of Doblasio. And it's 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: the same as Deblasi. You point a bunch of left 55 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: wing cooks who just say left wing cookie things, and 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: everybody looks at their Twitter from three years ago and 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: they can't believe the things that they said. And this 58 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: woman he appointed to run housing. You go back and 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: look at her Twitter. I think she took it down 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, but when people looked at 61 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: her Twitter from two years ago, three years ago, she's 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: tweeting all kinds of nonsense. She said, owning a home 63 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: is white supremacy. Nobody should be allowed to have private property. 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: I mean, all this Unamerican nonsense, crazy stuff. So Mom 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: Donnie was asked about her. 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: Obviously, that's not an opinion that I share. And I 67 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 4: made the decision to have her as our executive director 68 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 4: of the Mayor's Office to protect tenants, not because of 69 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: her comments, but because of her work. She is someone 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: who has won significant victories for tenants, not just in 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 4: New York City, but across the entirety of the state 72 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: formative part of what was an upstate downstate coalition, and 73 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: we've seen her already hard at work in this past week. 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 4: She's someone who has been a core part of our 75 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 4: efforts to coordinate rental ripoff hearings across the city, as 76 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: well as informing tenants of their rights in the city 77 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 4: where oftentimes they're not made aware of them. 78 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all you got to do, is if you 79 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: want to be a Mom Donney type of Mary, you 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: just talk very fast and you sound like you know 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: what you're talking about, and you says say things like 82 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: she has made incredible strides and she's she's gotten so 83 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: much accomplished with housing. Well, if that were true, you 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: wouldn't have a housing problem. You just ran saying it's 85 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: all out of control and terrible. So what strides did 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: she make? But you ask Mom, Donnie. He can talk 87 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: for an hour on any subject, two hours if he 88 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: happens to know something about it. But here he is 89 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: on Venezuela. He called the President. 90 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 6: Well, I wanted to make clear to the President directly 91 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 6: that these were the thoughts that I had, and they 92 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: were also the thoughts that I was about to share 93 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 6: with the world. And this is not just an action 94 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 6: taken by a federal administration abroad. It's also an action 95 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 6: that then implicates New York City because right now, Nicholas 96 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 6: mother Roy is here in New York City, and my 97 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 6: job as the Mayor of New York City is to 98 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 6: ensure that any federal action has a limited impact, if any, 99 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 6: on the day to day lives of New York. 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 5: You really don't. 101 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the window right now in mid toam Manhattan, 102 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: and all these people walking around, they don't seem to 103 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 3: be worried about Maduro. Here's in New York. He's actually 104 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Detention. He's in federal custody, 105 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: in the federal system. Again, I'm looking at everybody else. 106 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: There's a million people walking around out there. They don't 107 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: seem concerned about it. They don't seem to be worrying 108 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: about it. Now, here's the good news about this old mom. 109 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: Donnie Mesk, the city council speaker who's in charge of 110 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: the city council, really has a lot of power, at 111 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: least as much as the mayor. And some would argue 112 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: the city council speaker has more power than the mayor. Well, 113 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: with the crazy left wing, kooky mayor, and of course 114 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: you got a lot of crazy left wing cooks on 115 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: the city council. Somehow they just elected a normal, moderate, 116 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 3: common sense woman. Her name is Menon. She is the 117 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: new city council speaker. She's not a left wing cook, 118 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: very normal, very sane, very rational. And again, the city 119 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: council has at least as much power as the mayor. 120 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: Some would argue more. But here she is. We obviously 121 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: now she's also Jewish. With the anti Semitic mayor, you've 122 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: got a Jewish city council speak who will do everything 123 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: to protect the Jewish community. 124 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 7: We obviously need to protect the First Amendment right to 125 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 7: peacefully protest. That is sacrisanct. But what we cannot have 126 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 7: is a situation which we've had in New York, and 127 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 7: we saw it at Parky Synagogue where people were trying 128 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 7: to worship that evening and they felt intimidated and harassed. 129 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 7: We are going to be doing legislation to create safe 130 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 7: perimeters around all houses of worship and around schools so 131 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 7: that yes, of course people can peacefully protest, that's sacrisanc 132 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 7: but what you cannot do is intimidate and harass people 133 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 7: as they're trying to go to school, go to their 134 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 7: house of worship. So we're really going to be aggressive 135 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 7: about that. 136 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so in a way things might be better right 137 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: now than with the Blasi because with the Blasio you 138 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 3: had a left wing kookie mayor and you had a 139 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: left wing kookie city council speaker. But now yea half 140 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: of the half of the duo is saying rational and 141 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: somebody alike men, and is the new city council speaker. Now, 142 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: as I say, Mom, Donnie's like the third term of Deblasio. 143 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: And one thing about the Blasio, it was bad, but 144 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: we got through it just fine. It wasn't survivable like 145 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: Deblasio and de Blasi was the same way, kind of lazy, 146 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: didn't really do anything, loved to talk a lot, was 147 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: a greate at speeches. Oh remember de Blasio never came 148 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: to work. He would wake up and go to Brooklyn 149 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: to that Jimmy like. He'd be in that gym for 150 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: a couple hours. Then there was a little cafe coffee shop. 151 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: He'd go in there for a couple hours. He would 152 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: show up at city Hall about four o'clock, take a 153 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: nap for half an hour, and then leave and that 154 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: was about it. Mom, Donnie likes to be at city 155 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 3: Hall and he loves doing interviews, and he talks real 156 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: fast and just keeps answering that you can ask him anything. 157 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: And then they come up with these ideas. That's the 158 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: one thing about these left wing types, these mom Donnie 159 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: del They've got a million ideas from a program for 160 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 3: the homeless, they got a program for this, they got 161 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: pre K, they got daycare. All these ideas, nothing ever 162 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: really happens. They just talk about it at the universe. 163 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: So pre k not only when we make pre K 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: truly universal, but expand this care to include all two 165 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: and three year olds across the city. As the governor said, 166 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: we will deliver two care by working in partnership with 167 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: childcare providers, especially home based providers. 168 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they cheering and cheering, love that universal pre K, 169 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: not just pre K, universal pre K, and they get 170 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: all excited. And then just like in Minnesota, whenever they 171 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 3: do this stuff, these left wing Democrat programs a couple 172 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: of years ago is by an Alvi Siden knows this. 173 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: Billions missing, billions of dollars missing in pre k. Remember 174 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: the the Blasio Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A 175 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: billion dollars went missing. And of course the media is 176 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 3: a Democrat. They never looked to see what happened to it. Yeah, 177 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: it's Minnesota. That's why they're going crazy. Another reason they're 178 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: going crazy over this shooting. It gets that SMA childcare, daycare, 179 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: eighteen billion missing, gets it out of the headlines, gets 180 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 3: it out of the news. Everybody forgets about it for 181 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: a minute. Luigi Manngioni going to court today, the big 182 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 3: day in court. There'll be a big fight, and his 183 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: attorney's well, the first thing you're trying to do is 184 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: get the death penalty off the table. That's the one thing. 185 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 8: Now. 186 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: The other thing is they think they can get some 187 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: of the evidence tossed out that got him arrested, although 188 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 3: I doubt that. Now here's the problem. A lot of 189 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: these experts that hunt for fugitive say, this kid was 190 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: really stupid about a lot of things. You know, it 191 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: was right out there, look out the window, right across 192 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: the street. Right there, that's where he shot the guy, 193 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: right across the street, the New York Kilton. It's on 194 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: the corner where the New York Kilton is. And we're 195 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: iHeart right here across the street. But you know, on 196 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: that corner in Manhattan, there's a surveillance camera everywhere, every inch. 197 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: It's true of all of Manhattan, all the New York City. 198 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 3: They got surveillance cameras everywhere. So if you shoot on 199 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 3: that corner, there's going to be video of you from 200 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: every angle shooting the guy. So they got him there. 201 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: The other thing is if you're a fugitive and you're 202 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: on the lamb, if you're like a David Jansen fugitive, 203 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 3: if you're a Harrison Ford fugitive fleeing and you're in 204 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 3: these little small towns, you're supposed to go into these 205 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: little mom and pop places if you've got to get 206 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: some food, You're not supposed to go into McDonald's and 207 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 3: he made a huge mistake. He wasn't thinking. You know, 208 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 3: if you go into a McDonald's, this is a big 209 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: national chain. You know, you can go to any McDonald's 210 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: anywhere in America. They all look the same. And one 211 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 3: thing they put in all the McDonald's is extremely tight surveillance. 212 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 3: They've got cameras everywhere, every angle, so you can it's 213 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: easy to be on surveillance cameras if you're in McDonald's. 214 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: You go into a little mom and pop general store, 215 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: they're probably not so sophisticated tech wise. But he went 216 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 3: into McDonald's where there was a ton of surveillance cameras 217 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: on him, and you know, he's using a credit card 218 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: every so it just didn't make sense. It was easy 219 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: to catch him. The locals caught him. The people in 220 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: McDonald's thought he looked like the shooter, you know, with 221 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 3: that one big unibrow eyebrow, and the he's kind of 222 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: a distinctive looking guy. So they called the police. The 223 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 3: police came arrested him. So they're trying to get that 224 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 3: tossed out and that somehow he was illegally arrested or 225 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: that he had the wrong evidence I don't know what 226 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: they're going to argue, but they're gonna try. Hey, by 227 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 3: the way, the Vice president of great press conference yesterday, 228 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 3: Vice President Vance. But they've also announced, you got this 229 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 3: Somali fraud and it looks like it's going to be 230 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: even worse in California, even worse in Illinois. So they've 231 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 3: announced the Department of Justice is creating a whole new 232 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: Assistant Attorney General whose only focus will be on this fraud. 233 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: Start with Minnesota, go after them, then go to California, 234 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: then go to these other states. So he'll be one 235 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: Attorney general assistant to General, just focused on this fraud, 236 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: on doing something about it and try to stop it. 237 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 3: And by the way, we would Mam Donnie. You know, 238 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: he went after Trump like crazy on Venezuela, attacked him 239 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: Trump was asked about it. He's done a lot of interviews. 240 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: So he did a great hour on Hannity last night. 241 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 3: You'll probably hear it on the Hannity Radio show today 242 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 3: here on WOR he did a New York Times. I 243 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: don't know why he does this The New York Times. 244 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 3: These people hate his guts, but he brought him into 245 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 3: the Oval office game a couple hours of his time. 246 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: But they said, what about Mam Donnie attacking you like 247 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: crazy on Venezuela? And he actually said, you know, the 248 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: guy was here. We got along great. I was really 249 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: nice to him. And Trump says, quote, he's got a 250 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: great personality. He's a nice guy. His policies are not good, 251 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: but who knows, maybe he changes. But he said the 252 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 3: way he attacked me, I thought the guy would wait 253 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: at least three or four weeks before going after me. 254 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: We just had a great time together. I thought it 255 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: would take him a few weeks before he goes. But nope, 256 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: he didn't wait at all, went right after him. Now 257 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: you know who Jamie Diamond is. He's the chairman of 258 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: JP Morgan Chase. He's considered the best CEO in America, 259 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 3: top CEO. He's the greatest CEO obviously in banking. Guess 260 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: what he made last year? What would you pay a 261 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: guy like that? They had a great year JP Morgan Chase. 262 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: What do you think they pay him? 263 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 5: Well? 264 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: Last year he made seven one hundred and seventy million dollars. 265 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 3: Seven one hundred and seventy million dollars. Nah, that sounds 266 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 3: like a lot, but hey, after taxes, it's only five 267 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 3: hundred million. So now, actually there's a big asterisk on this. 268 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 3: They didn't pay him that He made about I think 269 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: twenty five million in salary, which is normal for a 270 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 3: big CEO of a major corporation. 271 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 5: You know, if they. 272 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: Trust you with a eight hundred billion dollar company and 273 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: you've got to run it, that's what you get paid. 274 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: And most of this money was he had stock options. 275 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 3: You know, if you really want to be fair, pay 276 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: the guy with stock options. That way, if he makes 277 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: the stock go up, he makes money. If he screws 278 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: up and the stock goes down, he loses money. Well, 279 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: JP Morgan Chase had the greatest year ever. I think 280 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: they were the biggest stock in America, up thirty four 281 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 3: percent for the year, major stock up thirty four percent 282 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: for the year. So that's how he made that money. 283 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: Now what would that mean JP Morgan Chase going up 284 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: thirty four percent? 285 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 5: I don't know. 286 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have the numbers in front of me. 287 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 3: But let's say that means an extra three hundred billion. 288 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 3: So if you made somebody three hundred billion, hey, I 289 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: guess you could get paid seven hundred and seventy million. 290 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: So I know you're supposed to get mad at him. 291 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: You know, in California they hate these people. They in fact, 292 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: they want to have a five percent tax on all 293 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: these billionaires, a one time In other words, they would 294 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: take five percent of their money, not their income, all 295 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: the money they have in the bank, everything. Just see 296 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 3: he's five percent of it, a one time tax, five percent. 297 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: They're trying to get this passed. 298 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 5: Now. 299 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: Some billionaires have already left. About six billionaires, major figures, 300 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: Peter Thiel, others have moved out of the state. They've 301 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: left because they don't want to pay Let's say you 302 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: got twenty billion your tax, there would be one billion 303 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 3: you'd have to hand over write a check for one billion. 304 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: So they're rather than pay it, they're leaving six of them. 305 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 3: There's a couple of his staying. The Navidia chairman said 306 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: he has no plans to leave the big another billionaires, 307 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: a real estate guy, Sobrato, he's staying put. But he 308 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: said he doesn't expect this this thing to pass. He 309 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: doesn't think it'll pass. Hey, now, the other thing is 310 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: if you leave, like all these guys just left right now, 311 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: they're going to pay this. They're saying when they pass 312 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: this tax, it'll be retroactive. Even if you left, you 313 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 3: still have to pay it. However, good luck trying to 314 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: collect that if the person is gone. Hey, well, we'll 315 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 3: take some calls.

Did you have to show any 332 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: kinds of ID or anything? 333 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 10: Or I had my ID there? And then another time, 334 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 10: when I was in the Bronx, I got a pamphlet 335 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 10: that was already checked off for the Democratic party, and 336 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 10: they asked me to sign it and now and then. 337 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 10: But I'm a Republican, so they have other ways been 338 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 10: cheating with the voting registrations there and everything else. 339 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 5: That's true. 340 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: Now, when you say go to the Motor Vehicle department, 341 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: that's like a nightmare. If you're in the middle of 342 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: New York City, you have a waiting line for ten hours, 343 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 3: there's sixty thousand people. But you're in Dutchess County, right, 344 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: there's probably no line. It's a quiet, little Indie green. 345 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 10: No, it's changing, Mark, No, it's changed. Oh, really saying 346 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 10: all over there's that urbanization all over. Now, that's what 347 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 10: Trump said that they wanted to do, and they did it. 348 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: Where are you in Dutchess County? Oh? 349 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 3: I don't know what that is, but it sounds fine. 350 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 10: It sounds one. 351 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 5: It's a well there you go.

Take care. Let's go to 354 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 5: Vincent and Brooklyn. 355 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 8: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay. 356 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 8: I heard the clip you played a Mennon speaking about 357 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 8: protecting the houses of worship. That's part of a larger 358 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 8: interview that she gave with John Kata Matidi's on his 359 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 8: balling show yesterday, and he directly asked her about the 360 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 8: real estate and that the real estate community is really 361 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 8: worried and the reason why he mentioned it, and she 362 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 8: totally avoided the question. She's a co sponsor a lor 363 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 8: with Councilwoman Nurse who came up with this law that 364 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 8: you have to offer it to the nonprofit first and 365 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 8: then secondly, and I don't know how you're going to 366 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 8: go to contract with a private buyer if after you 367 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 8: go to contract you have to then re offer it 368 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 8: to them. And she totally avoided the question because she 369 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 8: is the co sponsor of that law. And Michael Goodwin 370 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 8: a couple of weeks ago before she was inaugurated, Michael 371 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 8: Goodwin talked about that and he said he was hoping 372 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 8: that Eric Adams, which she didn't do, would have vetoed 373 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 8: vito the law because it wasn't veto proof they didn't 374 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 8: have enough votes. But he says, I doubt that because 375 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 8: she's a co sponsor of the law. So I heard 376 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 8: her wiggling squeam, you know, I wish you the best 377 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 8: and especial especially with the houses of worship and the 378 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 8: anti Semitic activity going on in this city. But she 379 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 8: avoided the question. 380 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 3: Right, she's a slimy politician, but she's more of a 381 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: centrist than you usually get. 382 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 8: Oh no, definitely. That other one, well, was it Adrianna 383 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 8: Adams who?

Buildings are going up, skyscrapers ever. But 395 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 3: we just lost one of the great landmark theater restaurants 396 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: Broadway Times Square, Cafe Un d'outois been there fifty years. 397 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 3: A lot of famous faces in there, a lot of 398 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: people in the theater district.

It puts me Yorkers first, 442 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: and someone that will make New Yorkers happy because most 443 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 2: New Yorkers are miserable with Kathy Hoche's leadership. 444 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 5: Yeah. 445 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 3: Hey, when it comes to the ice shooting or whatever 446 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: the issue, she seems to go very far to the left. 447 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: Is she making a mistake going so far to the left. 448 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: Well, she makes one mistake after the other. Let me 449 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: let me an example. Mark weeks ago, we had a 450 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: robbery in Nassau County of a jewelry store, and through 451 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: good police work with our Nassau County Police Department, who 452 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: are the best, and working with our international law enforcement partners, 453 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: we were able to track down the perpetrator and this 454 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: person was arrested. And that's what we found when we 455 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: arrested this individual that this individual was remaining had an 456 00:23:53,080 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: Irish passport, came to America from Mexico through Zona with 457 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: the Biden Harris policy of open borders, made their way 458 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: to New York and then they engaged in a spree 459 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: larsony and stealing from businesses and people here in the 460 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: whole metropolitan area. So we arrested this guy and guess 461 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: what a he had a New York State driver's life. 462 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: Under Kathy Hoche's leadership, somebody who could have been vetted 463 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: by just sending out a request from international law enforcement 464 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 2: for a warrant search. We would find that places like 465 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: the UK and other places had arrest warrants out for 466 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: this guy. But we don't get that in New York. 467 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: We give it to illegal aliens. We give it to 468 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 2: people without a background chap. If we fingerprinted this individual 469 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 2: before giving them a driver's license, we would have been 470 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: able to have comprehend them. And here's the worst part. 471 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: When we arrested this individual, if Nassau County didn't have 472 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: a comprehensive agreement with ICE, this guy would be back 473 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: on this trip because of cashlespail. A judge wouldn't be 474 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 2: able to hold an illegal migrant with international lawrence, and 475 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: this person would be released back into community to make 476 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 2: crimes against the people in the metropolitan area. But because 477 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: we had the agreement with ICE, we were able to CALLIE. 478 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: They picked this individual up, and this individual is now 479 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: on his way back to Mexico or Romania or Ireland 480 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: or wherever. 481 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 5: He came from. 482 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: Wow, that's one less Kathy Hochel voter. 483 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 5: You've taken tish exactly. 484 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: That's why they're doing it. 485 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 3: Hey, the election is a long way away, but you 486 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: are working hard already.

Uh, not 493 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: just in politics, but you know, I've been in business 494 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: for many years, not only as a lawyer, but also 495 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 2: as a consulting I've represented some of the largest companies 496 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: in the United States.

And one 498 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 2: of the things that was really disappointing to me was 499 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: the fact that so many people were miserable. And when 500 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: you ask them why they're they're miserable, they say, first 501 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 2: of all, our communities are no longer safe, and there's 502 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 2: no economic development, nothing going on upstate except for a few, 503 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: you know, a few different areas. There's there's a couple 504 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 2: of projects going on, one is in Onondaga County, but 505 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 2: other than that, there's nothing going on. And we have 506 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 2: one of the largest national natural gas reserves in the world. 507 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 2: In the southern tier of New York State, and we 508 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: don't allow any drilling. We don't allow any fracking of 509 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 2: the natural gas. So we have an energy shortage. We 510 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 2: have expensive energy. Here's cheap energy right in our state, 511 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: and we can't do anything. Across the border. In Pennsylvania 512 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: they allow fracking. They have businesses set up that are 513 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 2: getting this natural gas out, making cheaper energy and creating 514 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: prosperity and jobs for the area. In one side of 515 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 2: the border on Pennsylvania, they're driving brand new Cadillacs. On 516 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: the New York side, they're driving out driving around with rusty, old, 517 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 2: five year old pickup trucks. So we need economic development 518 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 2: in this state. We need to create job, we need 519 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: to create prosperity. That's how you make it more affordable, 520 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: putting more money in people's pockets so they can make 521 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: choices on how they want to spend money. 522 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Bruce Blackman would be the best governor. 523 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 5: He can go to bank. 524 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: Mark Blakeman from New York dot com if you want 525 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 3: to help Blakeman from New York dot com. Now they 526 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: talk about affordability at the end, just raised the fair 527 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: which is upset a lot of people, congestion, pricing, all 528 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 3: that stuff. You know how the MTA works, isn't it 529 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: just a lot of waste Instead of raising fares, can't 530 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,719 Speaker 3: you just cut the costs. 531 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 2: Of course, you can cut the cost you can make 532 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 2: it more efficient and you make it work for people. 533 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: There's something going on here that you know, basically is 534 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 2: a scam. The MTA gets three revenue sources lotly four. 535 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: They get federal money, they get money from sales tax revenue, 536 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: they get money from employer ay roll taxes. And they 537 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: have the revenue streams in addition to their fares, and 538 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: they're always broke. They have a system that's broken. They 539 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: have railroad stations here on Long Island that are falling 540 00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: into terrible disrepair. Nobody's riding the subways because unsafe. They 541 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: want to cut back on things like having two conductors 542 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: on a subway train, when two conductors on a subway 543 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: train would bring more people into the subways because they 544 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: would feel safer. And they don't invest in their equipment. 545 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: They don't invest in their railroad and subway stations. And 546 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: they are bloated bureaucracy with these big revenue streams, and 547 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 2: where does the money go. And Governor Hopell can't explain 548 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 2: that it's her job to make sure that our transportation 549 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: system runs efficiently. But people don't want to go on 550 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: the subways because they're not safe. People out on Long 551 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: Island or in the Hudson Valley, they don't want to 552 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 2: use the railroads because the stations are falling into terrible disrepair. 553 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: And we have to have a governor who understands transportation 554 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: like I do, understands that you have to market these 555 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: transportation sources. They have to be safe, they have to 556 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: be clean, they have to be in inviting to people. 557 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: Otherwise people are just going to get in their car, 558 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 2: and that's why we have a traffic problem the way 559 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: we do in the metropolitan area. 560 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,719 Speaker 3: And Bruce Blakeman has done all this stuff, and Nasau 561 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 3: County has been it's basically being a governor when you're 562 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 3: a county executive. And he's cleaned up everything, crime and budget, 563 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: all that stuff. Now we only got like a minute left. 564 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: What a chance does the Republican have to win? What 565 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 3: was the demographic makeup and party makeup of the state. 566 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: Yes, so I won reelection in a county that's larger 567 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: than eight to ten states. In population with one hundred 568 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: and ten thousand more Democrats, which meets in order for 569 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: me to win, I have to depend on not just 570 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 2: Republican and conservative voters, but independent voters and crossover Democrats, 571 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: what I call common sense Democrats. We want in the 572 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: landslide and the last election because we built a coalition 573 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: not based on what we disagree upon, but what we 574 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: agree upon. Everybody wants safer communities, everybody wants more jobs. 575 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: Everybody wants more or pay. Everybody wants better benefits and healthcare, 576 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: and they're not getting it from our date. So they 577 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: like what I've done here in Nassau County. It's the 578 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 2: safeties county in America. Each magazine said we're the most 579 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: desirable place to live in New York State. I can 580 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: take those principles and bring it statewide, including the City 581 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: of New York, and make it an affordable place to live, 582 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: place where you're safer, and a place where your kids 583 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: and your grandchildren are going to want to stay here 584 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: and raise there here. 585 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 586 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 3: Well, Bruce Blakeman would be a great governor. I can't 587 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 3: think of anybody better for it.

It'll be all 605 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 3: over Ice murdering people left and right. The media trying 606 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 3: to spin that every which way they can. So Vice 607 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 3: President Vance did a press conference yesterday where he talked 608 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 3: about that. 609 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 9: What is I'm sorry, guys, what's going on here? You 610 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 9: guys are meant to report the truth. How have you 611 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 9: let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe. 612 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 5: That's making it harder for us to enforce our laws. 613 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 9: You just asked me a question that presumed that the 614 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 9: reason why this woman died is because she was engaged 615 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 9: in legitimate protest. She tried to run somebody over with 616 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 9: her car, and the guy defended himself when that happened. 617 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 618 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: Now, once again, let me repeat. If you talk to 619 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: the top finest people in law enforcement off the record, 620 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 3: they've all kind of said the same thing to me. 621 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 3: The shooting is justified, it's legal. But they also said 622 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 3: you didn't have to fire those shots. I mean, you 623 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: can legally, and it's borderline, but a really, really, really 624 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 3: good cop might have even though he got out of 625 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 3: the way of the car. Just let it go. We'll 626 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 3: catch her later. But if you do fire, it's totally 627 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 3: legal and justified. He was in front of the car. 628 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 3: They don't show you the videos from the front where 629 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 3: you see the car hit him. 630 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 5: You see the videos where. 631 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,239 Speaker 3: He's on the side firing into the side. But if 632 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 3: you watch the video, it's up on my Twitter if 633 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 3: you want to watch it. In the video from the front, 634 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 3: the car hits him and knocks him to the side 635 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 3: and the first shot he fired went through the front windshield, 636 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 3: which means he was in front of the car. She 637 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 3: was heading right at him. You couldn't fire a shot 638 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 3: through the front windshield if you were on the side 639 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 3: of the car. So there'll be no criminal problem for him. 640 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 3: But you're going to hear about this all weekend long, 641 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 3: and they'll keep doing this for weeks and weeks.
