1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Now more Mark Simone on seven ten r. 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: Hey. Luckily it's Friday already, first week of twenty twenty six, 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 2: done and lots to get to. This hour, we'll get 4 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman. He should be the next governor. We'll 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: talk to him coming up later this hour. Kathy Hochel 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: will look like she will head to the left, far 7 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 2: to the left, trying to get the nomination. She's closing 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: up to Mom Donnie. She's somehow decided that to win, 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: she's got to be over there with Mom Donnie, get 10 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: his support his voters, which might be fine in New 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: York City, but I don't know, you've got a lot 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: of them up state. Remember, Bruce Blakeman just won a 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: big election in Nassau County second time, and if you 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: look at the makeup of Nassau County, it's very similar 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: to the makeup of New York State. Demographics, party, all 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. So excellent shot. He's far more 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: qualified to be governor than Kathy Hochalist. So we'll talk 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: to him later this hour. By the way, he gets 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: inaugurated for the second term on Monday, big inauguration ceremony. 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, of course just being Mom Donnie. He's doing 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: lots of interviews. I don't know if he does any work. 22 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: There's no sign of him actually doing anything as mayor. 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: The good news about Mom Donnie. People have said, I 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: don't want to say who, but they've said a couple 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: of things. One, he doesn't really do anything. It's all talk. 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: He just gets out there and he talks, and he 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: talks a mile a minute, and he does one interview 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 2: after another, and it's a pointing people, and they talk 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: and he talks and they talk, but nobody ever actually 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: does anything. The other thing is people say they believe 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: he's not a very courageous person. He's basically a kind 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: of a coward. So these big, big controversial things he's proposing, 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: he may never actually pull the trigger on and may 34 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: never actually do any of them, but he does love 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: to I never saw I do so many interviews. Yesterday 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: he's talking a good morning, good day in New York, 37 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 2: Hello Schenectany. He's talking to New York, anywhere and everywhere, 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: talking about anything and everything. 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: For too many years, the relationship between Albany and City 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Hall has been defined by dysfunction and discourse, by feuds, 41 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: and by factionalism, petty grievances have interfered with the work 42 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: of serving the people. 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: But again it's just talk. You just get up there 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: and you're talking. For too many years. You talk like this, 45 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: and you sound like you're making some important point and 46 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: nobody's listening, and meantime you're getting nothing done. And then 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: of course there's all his left wing stuff. 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: Obviously that's not an opinion that I share. 49 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: And oh, Alby, you know what this is. This is 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: he appointed this woman to run housing, real left wing cook. 51 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: Now you just have to accept this. Mondani is basically 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: the third term of Deblasio, and it's the same as Deblasi. 53 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: You point a bunch of left wing cooks who just 54 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: say left wing cookie things, and everybody looks at their 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: Twitter from three years ago and they can't believe the 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: things that they said. And this woman he appointed to 57 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: run housing. You go back and look at her Twitter. 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: I think she took it down a couple of days ago, 59 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: but when people looked at her Twitter from two years ago, 60 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: three years ago, she's tweeting all kinds of nonsense. She said, 61 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: owning a home is white supremacy. Nobody should be allowed 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: to have private property. I mean, all this Unamerican nonsense, 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: crazy stuff. So Mom Donnie was asked about her. 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: Obviously, that's not an opinion that I share. And I 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: made the decision to have her as our executive director 66 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: of the Mayor's Office to protect tenants, not because of 67 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: her comments, but because of her work. She is someone 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: who has won significant victories for tenants, not just in 69 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: New York City, but across the entirety of the state 70 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: formative part of what was an upstate downstate coalition, and 71 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: we've seen her already hard at work in this past week. 72 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: She's someone who has been a core part of our 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: efforts to coordinate rental ripoff hearings across the city, as 74 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: well as informing tenants of their rights in a city 75 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: where oftentimes they're not made aware of them. 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all you got to do, is if you 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: want to be a Mom Donney type of Mary, you 78 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: just talk very fast and you sound like you know 79 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: what you're talking about, and you says say things like 80 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: she has made incredible strides and she's done she's gotten 81 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: so much accomplished with housing. Well, if that were true, 82 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: you wouldn't have a housing problem. You just ran saying 83 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: it's all out of control and terrible. So what strides 84 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 2: did she make? But you ask Mom, Donnie. He can 85 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: talk for an hour on any subject, two hours if 86 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: he happens to know something about it. But here he 87 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: is on Venezuela. He called the President. 88 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to make clear to the President directly 89 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: that these were the thoughts that I had, and they 90 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: were also the thoughts that I was about to share 91 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: with the world. And this is not just an action 92 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: taken by a federal administration abroad. It's also an action 93 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: that then implicates New York City because right now, Nicholas 94 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: mother Roa is here in New York City, and my 95 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: job as the Mayor of New York City is to 96 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: ensure that any federal action has a limited impact, if any, 97 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: on the day to day lives of New Yorker. 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: You really don't. I'm looking at the window right now 99 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: in mid towm Manhattan, and all these people walking around, 100 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: they don't seem to be worried about Maduro. Here's in 101 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: New York. He's actually in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Detentions. 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: He's in federal custody, in the federal system. Again, I'm 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: looking at everybody else. There's a million people walking around 104 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: out there. They don't seem concerned about it. They don't 105 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: seem to be worrying about it. Now, here's the good 106 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: news about this whole mom, Donnie mess. The city council 107 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: speaker's in charge of the city council really has a 108 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: lot of power, at least as much as the mayor. 109 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 2: And some would argue the city council speaker has more 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: power than the mayor. Well, with the crazy left wing, 111 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: kooky mayor, and of course you got a lot of 112 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: crazy left wing cooks on the city council. Somehow they 113 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: just elected a normal, moderate, common sense woman. Her name 114 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: is Menon. She is the new city council speaker. She's 115 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: not a left wing cook, very normal, very sane, very rational. 116 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: And again, the city council has at least as much 117 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: power as the mayor. Some would argue more. But here 118 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: she is. We obviously now she's also Jewish. With the 119 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: anti Semitic mayor, you've got a Jewish city council speaker 120 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: who will do everything to protect the Jewish community. 121 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 4: We obviously need to protect the First Amendment right to 122 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: peacefully protest. That is SACRISANCT. But what we cannot have 123 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 4: is a situation which we've had in New York and 124 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 4: we saw it at Parky Synagogue where people were trying 125 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: to worship that evening and they felt intimidated and harassed. 126 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: We are going to be doing legislation to create safe 127 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 4: perimeters around all houses of worship and around schools so 128 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: that yes, of course people can peacefully protest, that's sacrisanc. 129 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: But what you cannot do is intimidate and harass people 130 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 4: as they're trying to go to school, go to their 131 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 4: house of worship. So we're really going to be aggressive 132 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: about that. 133 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. So in a way, things might be better right 134 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: now than with the Blasi because with the Blasio you 135 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: had a left wing kookie mayor and you had a 136 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: left wing kookie city council speaker. But now yea half 137 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: of the half of the duo is saying rational and 138 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: somebody alike men, and is the new city council speaker. Now, 139 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: as I say, Mom, Donnie's like the third term of Deblasio. 140 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: And one thing about the Blasio, it was bad, but 141 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: we got through it just fine. It wasn't survivable like 142 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: Deblasio and de Blasi was the same way, kind of lazy, 143 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: didn't really do anything, loved to talk a lot, was 144 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: greatest speeches. Oh remember to Blasio never came to work. 145 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: He would wake up and go to Brooklyn to that 146 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: Jimmy like. He'd be in that gym for a couple hours. 147 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: Then there was a little cafe coffee shop. He'd go 148 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: in there for a couple hours. He would show up 149 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: at city Hall about four o'clock, take a nap for 150 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: half an hour, and then leave and that was about it. 151 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie likes to be at city Hall, and he 152 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: loves doing interviews, and he talks real fast and just 153 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: keeps answering that you can ask him anything. And then 154 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: they come up with these ideas. The one thing about 155 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: these left wing types, these mom Donnie, they've got a 156 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: million ideas from a program for the homeless, they got 157 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: a program for this, they got pre K, they got daycare, 158 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: all these ideas, nothing ever really happens. They just talk 159 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: about it. The universe pre k. 160 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: Not only when we make pre K truly universal, but 161 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: expand this care to include all two and three year 162 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: olds across the city. As the governor said, we will 163 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: deliver two care by working in partnership with childcare providers, 164 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: especially home based providers. 165 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're cheering and cheering, love that universal pre K, 166 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: not just pre K, universal pre K, and they get 167 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 2: all excited. And then just like in Minnesota, whenever they 168 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: do this stuff, these left wing Democrat programs a couple 169 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: of years ago is by an Alviso billions missing, billions 170 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: of dollars missing in pre k. Remember the the Blasio 171 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A billion dollars went missing. 172 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: And of course the media is a Democrat. They never 173 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: looked to see what happened to it. Yeah, it's Minnesota. 174 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: That's why they're going crazy. Another reason they're going crazy 175 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 2: over this shooting. It gets that Sama childcare, daycare, eighteen 176 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: billion missing, gets it out of the headlines, gets it 177 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: out of the news. Everybody forgets about it for a minute. 178 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: Luigi Manngioni going to court today, the big day in court. 179 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: There'll be a big fight, and his attorney's well, the 180 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: first thing you're trying to do is get the death 181 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: penalty off the table. That's the one thing. 182 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: Now. 183 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: The other thing is they think they can get some 184 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: of the evidence tossed out that got him arrested, although 185 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: I doubt that. Now here's the problem. A lot of 186 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: these experts that hunt for fugitive say, this kid was 187 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: really stupid about a lot of things. You know, it 188 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 2: was right out there, look out the window, right across 189 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: the street. Right there, that's where he shot the guy, 190 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: right across the street, the New York Kilton. It's on 191 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: the corner where the New York Kilton is. And we're 192 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: iHeart right here across the street. But you know, on 193 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: that corner in Manhattan, there's a surveillance camera everywhere, every inch. 194 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: It's true of all of Manhattan, all the New York City. 195 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: They got surveillance cameras everywhere. So if you shoot it 196 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: on that corner, there's going to be video of you 197 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: from every angle shooting the guy. So they got him there. 198 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: The other thing is if you're fugitive and you're on 199 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: the lamb, if you're like a David Jansen fugitive, if 200 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: you're a Harrison Ford fugitive fleeing and you're in these 201 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: little small towns, you're supposed to go into these little 202 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 2: mom and pop places. If you got to get some food, 203 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: you're not supposed to go into McDonald's and he made 204 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: a huge mistake. He wasn't thinking. You know, if you 205 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: go into a McDonald's, this is a big national chain. 206 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: You know, you can go to any McDonald's anywhere in America. 207 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: They all look the same. And one thing they put 208 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: in all the McDonald's is extremely tight surveillance. They've got 209 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: cameras everywhere, every angle, so you can it's easy to 210 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: be on surveillance cameras if you're in McDonald's. You go 211 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: into a little mom and pop general store, they're probably 212 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: not so sophisticated tech wise. But he went into McDonald's 213 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: where there was a ton of surveillance cameras on him, 214 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: and you know, he's using a credit card every so 215 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: it just did make sense. It was easy to catch him. 216 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 2: The locals caught him. The people in McDonald's thought he 217 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: looked like the shooter, you know, with that one big 218 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: unibrow eyebrow, and the he's kind of a distinctive looking guy. 219 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: So they called the police. The police came arrested him. 220 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: So they're trying to get that tossed out and that 221 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: somehow he was illegally arrested, or that he had the 222 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: wrong evidence. I don't know what they're going to argue, 223 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: but they're gonna try. Hey, by the way, the vice 224 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: president of great press conference yesterday, Vice President Vance. But 225 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: they've also announced, you got this Somali fraud, and it 226 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: looks like it's going to be even worse in California, 227 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: even worse in Illinois. So they've announced the Department of 228 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: Justice is creating a whole new Assistant Attorney General whose 229 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: only focus will be on this fraud. Start with Minnesota, 230 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: go after them, then go to California, then go to 231 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: these other states. So he'll be one attorney general assistant 232 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: Attorney General, just focused on this fraud, on doing something 233 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: about it and try to stop it. And by the way, 234 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: we would, Mam Donnie. You know, he went after Trump 235 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: like crazy on Venezuela, attacked him Trump was asked about it. 236 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: He's done a lot of interviews. So he did a 237 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: great hour on Hannity last night. You'll probably hear it 238 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: on the Hannity Radio show today here on wor he 239 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: did a New York Times. I don't know why he 240 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: does this The New York Times. These people hate his guts, 241 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 2: but he brought him into the Oval Office game a 242 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: couple hours of his time. But they said, what about 243 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: Mam Donnie attacking you like crazy on Venezuela? And he 244 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: actually said, you know, the guy was here. We got 245 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: along great. I was really nice to him. And Trump says, quote, 246 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: he's got a great personality. He's a nice guy. His 247 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: policies are not good, but who knows, maybe he changes. 248 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: But he said the way he attacked me, I thought 249 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: the guy would wait at least three or four weeks 250 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: before going after me. We just had a great time together. 251 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: I thought it would take him a few weeks before 252 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 2: he goes. But nope, he didn't wait at all, went 253 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: right after him. Now you know who Jamie Diamond is. 254 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: He's the chairman of JP Morgan Chase. He's considered the 255 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: best CEO in America, top CEO. He's the greatest CEO 256 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: obviously in banking. Guess what he made last year? What 257 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: would you pay a guy like that? They had a 258 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: great year JP Morgan Chase. What do you think they'd 259 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: pay him? Well, last year he made seven one hundred 260 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: and seventy million dollars. Seven one hundred and seventy million dollars. Nah, 261 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: that sounds like a lot, but hey, after taxes, it's 262 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: only five hundred million. So now, actually there's a big 263 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: asterisk on this. They didn't pay him that He made 264 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: about I think twenty five million in salary, which is 265 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: normal for a big CEO of a major corporation. You know, 266 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: if they trust you with a eight hundred billion dollar 267 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: company and you've got to run it, that's what you 268 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: get paid. And most of this money was he had 269 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: stock options. You know, if you really want to be fair, 270 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: pay the guy with stock options. That way, if he 271 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: makes the stock go up, he makes money. If he 272 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: screws up and the stock goes down, he loses money. Well, 273 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: JP Morgan Chase had the greatest year ever. I think 274 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: they were the biggest stock in America, up thirty four 275 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: percent for the year, major stock up thirty four percent 276 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: for the year. So that's how he made that money. Now, 277 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: what would that mean JP Morgan Chase going up thirty 278 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: four percent? I don't know. I mean, I don't have 279 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: the numbers in front of me. But let's say that 280 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: means an extra three hundred billion. So if you made 281 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: somebody three hundred billion, hey, I guess you could get 282 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: paid seven hundred and seventy million. So I know you're 283 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: supposed to get mad at him. You know, in California 284 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: they hate these people. They in fact, they want to 285 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: have a five percent tax on all these billionaires, a 286 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: one time In other words, they would take five percent 287 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: of their money, not their income, all the money they 288 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: have in the bank, everything. Just see he's five percent 289 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: of it, a one time tax, five percent. They're trying 290 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: to get this passed. Now. Some billionaires have already left. 291 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: About six billionaires, major figures, Peter Thiel, others have moved 292 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: out of the state. They've left because they don't want 293 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: to pay Let's say you got twenty billion your tax, 294 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: there would be one billion. You'd have to hand over 295 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: write a check for one billion. So they're rather than 296 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: pay it, they're leaving. Six of them. There's a couple 297 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 2: of is staying. The Navidia chairman said he has no 298 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: plans to leave the big another billionaires, a real estate guy, Sobrato. 299 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: He's staying put. But he said he doesn't expect this, 300 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: but this thing to pass. He doesn't think it'll pass. Hey, Now, 301 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: the other thing is if you leave, like all these 302 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: guys just left right now, they're going to pay this, 303 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: they're saying. When they pass this tax. It'll be retroactive. 304 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: Even if you left, you still have to pay it. However, 305 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: good luck trying to collect that if the person is gone. 306 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,239 Speaker 2: We'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three two one 307 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two 308 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: one zero seven ten
