But when he's 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: on the phone actually talking to his said, he just 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: knows how to button them up.

He's very good at that. Remember, a 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: big part of his life is being a salesman. I mean, 33 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: besides building an empire and building one hundred stories skyscrapers 34 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: all over the world. I mean, you got to be 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: a hell of a salesman. He's great with that stuff. 36 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: Let's go to Harriet in Brooklyn. Harriet, how you doing. 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 4: Oh, it's a pleasure speaking with you. 38 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: Mark. 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 4: You're the best. Mark. We've got to get blakeman. And however, 40 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 4: if there is a watchman on, if there is continued 41 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 4: voting without voter ID, there's no way that he's going 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 4: to beat these communists. 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: Well, actually you can. There is cheating with that no 44 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: voter idea and all that stuff. But usually you got 45 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: to get like an extra seven percent to overcome the cheating. 46 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: Blakeman is going to be great at this. First of all, 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: he's the only one qualified to be governor. He actually 48 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: is a governor right now. That's what he does in 49 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: Nassau County. It's basically the governor of Nassau County. He's 50 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job, best county executive in America. Nobody 51 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: more qualified than Blakeman to be governor. Now you might say, then, well, 52 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: what is he good as a candidate. He has been 53 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: brilliant on social media the last week. The last week 54 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: he has moved. Just check his social media every day. 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: He's got videos up of him. He went to Buffalo 56 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: to go to the Buffalo Bill's game. That looks good. 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, you got to win these upstate voters. He 58 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: went to a diner, then he went to this place 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: that's a great Italian restaurant in Buffalo. You would think 60 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: this guy's lived in Buffalo all his life. He's great 61 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: at this stuff. Pretty amazing stuff. Let's go to Joel 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: in Florida. Joel, how you doing. 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, welcome back. It's a hypothetical question. Where 64 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: do you see New York City one year from today, right. 65 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: Here, right next to Long Island, right below Westchester. Where 66 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: would I see it being? 67 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: I mean under Mondamie. Where do you see New York 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: City one year from today. 69 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: Well, go back to Doblasio and look at one year 70 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: into his first term, and it's the same thing. This 71 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: is going to be Deblasio third term. It's just going 72 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: to be more Deblasio. He's in fact, it's the same 73 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: exact people, same deputy mayors, same commissioners. Although he does 74 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: find it's the same thing with the Blaso. You know, 75 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: you look at who we appointed. This is when he 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: pointed to I'll find it. He just appointed somebody to 77 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: some position, like a real left wing wacka. But that's 78 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: exactly what Deblasio kept doing, the same exact thing. Now, 79 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: let me just clear up one thing about the fire commissioner. 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: All hell, he appointed a fire commissioner with no fire 81 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: department experience. That's perfectly normal. Half our fire commissioners never 82 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: had any fire department experience. Every mayor at some point 83 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: appoints that fire commissioner who had never ever been involved 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: in the fire department. The last fire commissioner at Robert 85 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: Tucker was great. The guy was phenomenal. No experience with 86 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: the fire department and he was great at it. Who 87 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: had caught your point? Charles Hines, very respected guy in 88 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: New York politics. Never had any experience to the fire department. 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: He was a fire commissioner before Robert Johnson at Tucker 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: Robert Tucker last fire commission with no experience. Who was performing? 91 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: Laura Kavanaugh who was pretty good, no experience at all. 92 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: Laura had never been anywhere near a fire department and 93 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: it was actually Obama that got her the job, called 94 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: up Eric Adams and got her the job. She was 95 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: pretty good without any experience. You could name half the 96 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: fire commissioners. Howard Safer was a great fire commissioner. No experience, none, 97 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: as in the fire department. So it's perfectly normal. Let's 98 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: go to sal in Long Island. Sal. How you doing hi? 99 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark? 100 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Yes, Mark. 101 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 5: I was having an idea and was a little bit radical. 102 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: But with the violent crime having in the cities where 103 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 5: guns and knives are prevalent and people are getting seriously 104 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 5: hurt or killed, there should be a punishment or a 105 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 5: deterrent for the person with the gun and knife. 106 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we had all that stuff, mandatory jail if 107 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: you have it. We had all these tough gun laws. 108 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: You know, you go right to jail with a gun 109 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: if you use a gun, and you had an extra 110 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: ten years. We had all that stuff. Thank Andrew Cuomo 111 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: for getting rid of all that stuff. He's the guy 112 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: that got rid of bail. It's Andrew Cuomo. You know, 113 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: no bail, no jail, close the prisons, drop all this 114 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: and him and the Democrats and the legislature and Democrats 115 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: all over in different cities, different states. They got rid 116 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: of all these things. In fact, even if you've been 117 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: picked up thirty seven times, if you'd come into court, 118 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: you remember it used to be three strikes near out. 119 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: You could come into court. Happens every day forty two 120 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: prior arrests. That judge lets you out. No bail, no jail, 121 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: thanks to Andrew Cuomo. Hey, when we come back, Bill O'Reilly. 122 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: We haven't talked to him in a few weeks. He's 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: been away. I've been away. We'll talk to Bill O'Reilly 124 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: next on seven to ten wor
