Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's more and more mister New York on seven to
ten wr.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well, hey, we'll get to Long Island this hour. Bruce
Blake wentillby with us. The best county executive in America.
He's up for reelection. Make sure you vote for him.
You know, you only got six days till the election.
Early voting is going on right now. Looks like extremely
heavy turnout in New York City that's believed to favor
Andrew Cuomo. Curtis as well, but there has been a shift.
(00:29):
There is some movement people that weren't going to vote
for Cuomo now voting for him. So he's picking up steam.
I don't know. It could be way too little, too late.
You got six days until the election. You got I
think five more days of early voting and then you'll
get a lot of voting on election day. A lot
of people still wait till election day to do it,
(00:49):
and it's all kinds of traditionalists that do that. But
how did we get in this mess? Well, you can
blame Andrew Cuomo pretty much. The Democratic Primary is what
caused this mess. Cuomo was not supposed to be in that.
You know, when you leave office in disgrace, you quit
in disgrace. You're not supposed to come back that fast,
you really not supposed to come back at all. But
(01:12):
he jumped in there and it was enough to scare
Eric Adams out of the primary. And who knows, Adams
might have done much better against Mom Donnie, but it
was a primary of crazy Democrats, Brad Lander, those type
of guys, and Cuomo was just a disaster in both debates.
(01:32):
In the primary, he was horrible, got beaten to a
pulp by Mamdanni and he didn't do well. It was
just a terrible campaign. He didn't do a lot of
rat didn't do anything, no rallies, no event, there was
not much of it. There was no energy to his campaign.
So he lost. He was totally rejected by Democratic voters.
Mam Donnie won the primary in a huge amount of votes,
(01:54):
and that's how he got stuck with him. And once
you get on that Democratic nomine once you're a Democratic nominee,
there are so many people that just can't help. But
it's just knee jerk. They just pull the Democratic lever.
So that's the problem. And the Democratic registration in New
York is like five to one over the Republicans. Now
(02:16):
Cuomo then jumps in on a third party. But remember
he's not a major party candidate, he's a third party candidate.
In fact, when you go to vote, you got a
hunt for his name. Top of the ballot is Mom Donnie,
next is Curtis, and then you got to go down
eight spaces to get eight. Cuomo is eight names down
on that ballot. So it's not easy to find. But
(02:36):
how did the Democrats let this happen? You got Chuck Schumer,
you got these old traditional Democrats jillibrand even that, you
know that crazy Kathy Hokeel. Why didn't they say anything,
the elders of the party, why didn't they do something
about this crazy socialism. Well, in the case of Schumer Hochkel,
they're terrified, they're just frightened. They're not leaders. They're terrified,
(02:58):
they're paniced, they're afraid of him, they're afraid of getting primaried.
But what about the guys that well, you know, this
is not just a little fringe of the Democratic Party,
it's all through the Democratic Party. The leadership is now
AOC Bernie Sanders. They're not tolerating Mom Donnie. They love
Mam Donnie. Listen to Bernie, Let.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Be cut to the chase. The billionaires have already spent
nineteen million dollars to Troy to defeat Zaron Mamdani for
Mayor of New York in this last week. They're going
to spend a hell of a lot more. Our job
is to do everything that we can to bring out
(03:39):
the vote.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You see, that's what they're tapping into. A lot of
this is about the billionaires, the billionaires.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Let be cut to the chase.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The billionaires have already.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Just billionaires, the damn billionaires, those billionaires. You're supposed to
live in fear of these billionaires. First of all, Mom
Donnie was financed by a lot of billionaires. There were
a lot of Soros types that financed Mom Donnie and
financed all this Bernie nonsense. It's billionaires, fine it, but
(04:13):
it sounds good. You remember when Biden took office, kept
telling you about the white supremacist The biggest threat in
America is white supremacists. Well, there aren't any white supremacists.
There's a couple in a federal prison somewhere, and there's
a few in the Appalachian Mountains. But I remember the
police Commissioner dermot Chet is on good day in New
York and if Biden was going on and on about
the threat from white supremacists, and Rosanna scotisists to him,
(04:37):
how serious is the threat from white supremacists in New
York City? And he was very thoughtful, he said, you know,
I don't really have let me give you an answer tomorrow.
Let me check on this research this And the next
day she read what he sent to her. He said,
I've checked everything. Our department has never encountered a white supremacist,
so it wasn't a threat. But it's the same thing
(05:01):
the billionaires, these billionaires. Now, what is it these billionaires
are doing to us? Well, they're paying most of our
taxes for us. You know, here in New York, the
billionaires pay forty eight percent of the tax. The top
one percent pays forty eight percent of the tax here
in New York. And they do create a lot of jobs.
(05:21):
You know, you see these billionaires. Look at they open
that JP Morgan Chase brand new building on Park Avenue.
Well it says there'll be ten thousand people working there.
So it's one building, ten thousand jobs. And you know
some of these billionaires they create companies like Amazon, Federal Express.
Fred Smith, great guy, he created the Federal Express. That's
(05:44):
eight hundred thousand job. See, you kind of need these billionaires,
but you're supposed to live in fear of them the
way he talks. They're billionaires, those billionaires. Now, be honest.
You ever walk down the street and you say, oh,
watch out, there's a billionaire. You're really supposed to be
afraid of them. You cross the street, Oh, let's go
this way. There's billionaires over there. They're really not going
(06:06):
to hurt you, these billionaires. But that's what Mamdanie taps into.
Even though he's funded by billionaires. You're not supposed to
notice that. But it's just crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Then he promises this free stuff, you know whatever, They
promised this stuff, free buses, free rent, free apartments, free food,
free grocery stores, free. It's the billionaires that pay for it.
If you get rid of them, nobody's gonna pay for this.
By the way, with the free buses, I've been telling
you this all along, but the MTA chairman, that weasel
Jano Lieber, finally came out and said there's no such
(06:38):
thing as free buses. The mayor has no power over
the MTA no control of the MTA, and he said,
forget the free buses. It's an absolutely ridiculous thing. But
this may All race has It's not just here in
New York. You know, the whole country is focused on this.
You're the big national shows. You know. You listen to
Sean Hannity radio show. That's seventeen million peace people around
(07:00):
the country. They're all talking about it. I was on
Cudlow yesterday. It's the number one show in business television,
national show. But we could talk about the mayor ole
race in great detail, and everybody around the country knows
all the stuff. They're following it closely. So most important
thing is get out there and vote. Voter turnout is
five hundred percent above normal right now. If that continues,
(07:21):
we could get to two million votes. If that's the case,
Mom Donnie has a really good chance of losing. If
it's the normal thirty percent turnout, he's got a real
good chance of winning. If it gets to two million
up near, there a very good chance at mom Donnie loses.
So that's the key, get out and vote. And another
important thing to keep reminding you. If you're in Manhattan,
(07:42):
get rid of Alvin Bragg the DA. Vote for maud Marin.
She's the Republican candidate. She's very big on this is
a revolutionary idea. I'm putting the criminals in jail. The
current DA. Brag doesn't believe in jail. He believes in
letting them all out. He said that on day one
and a famous memo. So get rid of Alvin Bragg,
vote for maud Merin, and again throw out everybody on
(08:04):
the city council. Just everybody, clean house and get a
new common sense city council. If you're worried about Mom, Donnie,
that's one thing you can do, because city council has
more power than anybody. Hey, when it comes to twenty
twenty eight, what are the Democrats going to do? A
lot of them want to run a lot of these
cabinet members, the Pete Buddhajetge types. But they're going to
(08:26):
have a big problem because more and more stuff is
coming out and you'll continue to see more showing that
Joe Biden was a complete zombie, a vegetable that didn't
know where he was and they were all covering it up.
So if you're in the cabinet, you're gonna have to
explain why you helped cover that up, why you didn't
say anything. So anybody in the bidendministration is going to
have trouble running. They'll never be able to explain why
(08:49):
they didn't come forward or why they didn't do something.
So this helps Gavin Newsom because he could say, you know, hey,
I was all the way out in California. I didn't
know what was going on. And Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor,
good governor. Maybe he's eyeing twenty twenty eight. He's starting
to say things about Biden that everybody should have noticed.
(09:12):
He noticed, he saw things wrong. He said, just watching television,
I saw So he's starting to do that. Hey, now,
what about Trump in twenty twenty eight. You know, he's
talked about how he could run in twenty twenty eight.
I don't know how he could, but he's been talking
about it. I think you might see that talk stop
from what I hear. Mike Johnson has told him to
stop with the twenty twenty eight He's basically just taunting people.
(09:33):
But Johnson said, you could hurt us in the midterms.
People might get so scared of that, just as you know,
just as a buffer they might vote for Democrats just
to make sure government was split. So he said, stop
the twenty twenty eight talk. It might help Democrats in
the midterms. So you probably see Trump stop that the shutdown.
(09:55):
The Democrats keep voting to keep the shutdown going. I
don't know why they keep voting that Schumer making. He's
having another press conference to day. He just makes these
crazy comments. There was one yesterday. Why is the president
on a foreign trip? What is he doing overseas? Why
would he be on a foreign Well, he's coming back
with great deals. He's saving the American economy with that stuff.
(10:18):
That's why the stock market has been soaring. He's been
making great agreements, trade deals, all sorts of economic deals
with country after country. It's called deliverables. He's getting us stuff.
He meets with the President She late tonight.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
President Chief China is coming tomorrow here and we're going
to be I hope making a deal.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think we're gonna have a deal. I think it'll
be a good deal for both. Yeah. Now this could
be big. This could really be a big, huge boost
of the economy. Now you'll say it's tomorrow the meeting
with She. But because of the crazy time difference, it'll
actually be late tonight for us. Hey, the cartel, you know,
(10:56):
we keep blowing up those ships out there. A lot
of people are saying, if Trump's going to war with
the cartel, why does he blow up the labs, you know,
like in Mexico where they make the drugs. Why doesn't
he blow that up. There's a lot of strategy to this.
They've thought about this very carefully. This is very strategic.
They have figured out if you blow up the lab,
they can rebuild another lab. Oh, it might cost them
(11:19):
twenty five thousand to build a new lab, but twenty
five thousand. If you blow up the ship with the
drugs on it and all the ingredients, that's twenty five million.
So the idea is to bankrupt them, to just drain
them financially. So and you can make all the drugs
you want in a lab, but that doesn't mean anything
if you can't transport them.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
To the U.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And it's mostly by ship, so it shuts down the
transportation of the drugs and it kills them financially. Again,
blowing up the lab. You can you watch Breaking Bad though,
how they built those labs. It's about twenty thousand twenty
five thousand means you blow up the lab, they can
have another one up in a week. You blow up
twenty five Some of those ships had fifty million in
(11:58):
drugs on them. You really really hurt the car. Tell
So anyways, Hey, the ballroom project moving along. They're moving
very fast.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
The reason for the ballroom the President, as a world leader,
met all the other world leaders all over the world,
and he noticed when you go see a world leader,
they're in a palace. It's the most ornate, palatial, unbelievably
spectacular places you meet them. See realized they come to
America and the Oval Office. You know, we think it's great,
but it's a pretty plain room. It's like a plain
(12:32):
municipal office, and it doesn't project what you want to project.
And when they come here, the President feels, you know,
you see the Oval Office. Now he's got gold and
it's too ornate and it's too looks like Versai or
someth Well, that's to project power, strength, wealth, because that's
the way those world leaders live and that's what their
office looks like. So he's trying to project that back.
(12:54):
And when they come here for a major event, it
was pathetic. They would hold it on the White House
lawn in a tent. The East room of the White
House only holds about one hundred people, but you can
do five six hundred. They would do it on a
tent on the lawn. It's like you're at a wedding
in Great Neck, Long Island or something and a tent
(13:14):
with porta bodies. So that's why he's building this ballroom
so when they come here, it projects wealth and power
and strength. Better image for the United States. Oh, speaking
of Long Island. Check out my Instagram. So I'm going
through these old photos. I find this was from twenty
years ago. It's Sean Hannity, me and Curtis. We did
(13:35):
a big book signing event at Huntington, Long Island book review.
Remember that great book starts Gone now but spectacular. I mean,
I love this picture. It's from twenty years ago. Look
how different everybody looks twenty years ago. It's up on
my Instagram. Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. Mark Simone NYC

you're a watch collector, you know Wempy and better Ridge

(14:21):
big and they're in a temporary store. But even in
the temporary store it's spectacular. They had their watch fair

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Mark simoneshell.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wr Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Stuart
in South Carolina. Stuart, how you.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Doing, hey, Mark Carl you you know, I'm trying to
find out a lot of information about the Alvin Bragg race.
Because Alburn Bragg stays in there with Mom, Donnie or
even Cuomo and hoche Well, you're going to have the
trifecta of hell.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, everybody, get rid of Alvin Bragg. Vote for Maud Maren,
the Republican candidate. She's a good on crime. Vote for her.
Get rid of Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Absolutely, he's crossed so much death and destruction in New
York City. I can't imagine anybody voting for this guy.
And it sounds like does he still have a shot
or what?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeh, it's crazy New York City. The good news is
with these DA races, it doesn't take a lot of
votes to get rid of them. So make sure you vote,
get out there and vote for Maud Meren for d
A good point, Stuart, Let's go to Billy in Manhattan, Billy,
How you doing, Mark?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
We well, a couple quick points. Who have the heard
of this Gotham polling group? From what I gathered, it's
a couple of hundred senior citizens that are friendly to
Cuomo and alost publicity, including your station. It's bogus.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, you know, you got to remember in this race,
we haven't had any real good polls. We've had all
these junk polls, these college polls, these media polls. Normally,
the campaign behind the scenes they bring in the big, big,
serious pollsters, the John McLaughlin's, but none of them have
spent the money. That's the problem. So we're you're these
public polls are all just just junk. Let's go to
(16:40):
Jan in New Jersey. Jan, how you doing Mark?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
May or?
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Doesn't that sound good?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
No? No, I don't want to be mayor?
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Okay, all right, I know you don't want it, but
you'd be great. You know what I was thinking. There's
so much like everybody, but with Mom, Donnie and AOC
and Bernie, they're like keeping people to be caterpillars instead
of letting them to be butterflies.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
All right, I don't know what that means, but okay,
Let's go to Jimmy and New Milford. Jimmy, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Taking Wanning Mark Cala good.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
There's one thing that I could never there's really I
can never figure Colo for, and that was when he said, boy,
you know, America was never that great anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
One of those famous comments, you know, to talk about
these things that mom Donnie said in the past. Coloma
said some pretty bad things in the past. Two Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, good morning, Mara. Mark. Among
the many things you said that or right on the money,
you mentioned the fact that the new Chase building. Now
I want AOC Bernie Sanders and Mondamie to think about this.
Think about all the tax relief and all the money
that that building is supplying to the city, first off
(18:01):
in property tax, in water and sewer tax, and then
all the people that are being employed. You said, what
ten thousand people are being employed in that building. Yeah,
all right, All those people have to be are paying tax, right,
and they're contributing also to the local economy. Because Jamie
(18:21):
Diamond says he wants everybody to work right at least
three four days a week.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, yeah, what's your five days a week? Great, Jamie dimonds, Well,
as you got to go back to the office, right.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Because he knows that that's contributing to the local economy,
to the delicate tessant, to the dry cleaners, this, that
and the other. And another thing that you mentioned. You
mentioned the great voted turnout, the high voted turnout. John
Katamatidis last night said that in June, and this is
another reason why we must bring the primary back in September.
(18:56):
In June, it was one hundred and two degrees that
day that they had the primary. I felt like when
I went to go vote, I was gonna drop bed in.
The polling place is only three blocks from my house.
People are busy, schools over, they're getting ready to go up, stay,
go on vacation. And also, no, it's a good two
(19:17):
degrees heat and everything.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No good point, no more, no more primaries in June.
They got to move back to September where they belong.
But Vincent, we got to go do the news. Great call. Yeah,
it was there's another There's been a lot of tricks
they've used, from the rank choice voting to moving the
primaries to June. You get much lower turnout if you
do it in June. If you do it in September,
you get much better turnout. Hey, when we come back,
we'll talk to the best county executive in America, Bruce Blakeman.
(19:42):
He's up for reelection. Obviously he's gonna win, but make
sure you get out there and Botram. We'll talk to
him next on seven to ten w R. Mister New York.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Hey, that's Marks alone, seven ten WR.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well, we love Long Island, especially Nassau County, and it
has the best county executive in a America. There's not
even a close second. Bruce Blakeman is the county executive
up for reelection on Tuesday. Make sure you vote for
Bruce Blakeman on Tuesday. And he's with us right now.
Bruce Blakeman, how you doing good?
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Mark? Thank you so much. You're very kind, really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Do you actually have an opponent? Has anybody had the
nerve to run against you?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Yes, we have an opponent. I don't take anything for granted,
you know, Mark, in Nassau County we have one hundred
and ten thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans, so we
can't take anything for granted here.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right, So everybody get out and vote for Bruce
Blakeman on Tuesday. You have early voting out there too,
don't you.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yes, yes, so yeah, do it today.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And you have a very good district attorney to Anne Donnelly, right,
we have Bridge. You'd vote for her too well.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Working with Anne Donnelly and our great police Commissioner Pat Ryder,
and our police department, our Sheriff's department, working very closely
with ICE, we are the safest county in America, which
you're saving. It's saying a lot since we're on the
border of New York City and our populations larger than
ten states in America.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, so if mom Donnie wins, can we join Nasau County?
Can New York City become part of Nasau County? Is
that possible?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Our real estate brokers are doing a tremendous business right now.
Our housing prices are going up up, So if you
want to come to Dassau County, now's the time to
buy because it's only going to go higher. People are
very concerned about him becoming mayor. I certainly am planning
with our police department measures that we're going to take
(21:36):
because We have a great relationship with the NYPD right now.
We share intelligence, we share assets, we work very well together.
I'm not sure that's going to be the same if
he's elected.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
How hard is it just to have common sense in politics?
You know, one thing, you come from the private sector too.
Do you think that should be a requirement that you
had to have been in the private sect just to
learn common sense and how to be practical about things.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
I think it's a great platform to run for office
where you have to meet a payroll, where you understand
that everything that every decision that's made is a cost
benefit analysis. That's what you should do in business. That's
what you should do in government. Unfortunately it's not done
in government. But you know, we do common sense things
(22:25):
out here, like boys play with boys, girls play with girls.
We don't want boys in girls bathrooms and locker rooms.
Just common sense.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, and things are booming in Nassa right Every time
I'm out there, you got another hotel going up, more
stores are opening. It's the economy is bigger than ever,
isn't it.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Our gross domestic product is larger than one hundred and
twenty six nations in the United Nations. We are an
economic powerhouse. Our restaurants are as good as New York City.
Our shopping is as good as New York City, may
be better. Beautiful beaches, beautiful parks, great museums. And by
the way, I heard you mentioned the Udell's, great great
(23:07):
entrepreneurs out here in Nassau County. I love them because
they create a lot of sales tax revenue for us.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Hey Mark, you, Della, his wife, Candy, that whole family
is just wonderful. And that's another example. Like he's adding
another FLOORI to his store. Next store, you got rh
Restoration Hardware. They just opened a spectacular store. So they
must think highly of you and Long Island if they're
spending all this money to expand.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Well, we are the safest county in America. We haven't
raised taxes one penny in four years, so we're doing
the right things out here. And we encourage businesses to
come to Nassau County. I meet with business owners from
all over the world, not just the United States, and
encourage them to do business in Nassau County because it's safe.
(23:55):
We've got beautiful housing stock, as I said, we've got
beautiful beaches. Our school are top notch. We've got a
lot to offer out here.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, so why does anybody go to the Hamptons. I've
never understood that it takes you nine hours to get there.
Nasau County got better restaurants and better stores, you got
beautiful beaches. But I guess it's good they don't all
come because you can't, you'd have too many people.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
We were the Hamptons before there was a Hampton mark.
So we have the Gold Coast, which has amazing homes, again,
great restaurants. Then on the South Shore, we've got some
of the most pristine, beautiful beaches in the whole world.
So we've never marketed Nassau County the way that we should.
(24:40):
So the last four years, that's all I've been doing.
As I said, our gross domestic product is incredibly high.
When I came into office, it was eighty five billion
a year. It's now over one hundred and twenty five
billion dollars a year.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman Tuesday's election. That you
can do early voting if you're in Nassau County, make
sure you vote for Bruce Blakeman. And you must have
you thought about the next four years. What you want
to do, you must have a lot on your plate there.
But what's next for NASA?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Continue to make it safer, continue to make it more affordable,
keep taxes down, and use common sense, as you said,
and American values. We need to get back to American values.
Our kids have been indoctrinated with nonsense in our schools
and universities, and we've got to reteach them about the
(25:30):
things that were taught to us by our parents and grandparents.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, when you get a mom Donnie getting all these votes,
a lot of people think that's the result of universities
becoming crazy left wing and doctrination centers, glamorizing socialism. And
how do you undo that that could take They've raised
generations of these crazy people. How do you undo that?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Well, we have to re educate Mark. By the way,
communism has been a failure. Socialism has been a failure.
You can't point to one country where it's been a success.
And my friends who are who are you know, immigrants
from socialist countries. They can't understand why we don't teach
more in our in our public schools and our universities
(26:14):
and our private schools about what socialism and communism are
all about. It's basically being nonproductive, depending on the government
to control every aspect of your life. Anti religion, no spirituality.
It's really a dismal life. I think Winston Churchill said
(26:34):
it's the sharing of misery.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I like that. So Bruce Blakeman is up for reelection.
Make sure you vote for him on Tuesday. Best county
executive in America. Have you getten calls from other county executives?
You've worked miracles there? Have they called you for a
guidance advice?
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Well, I talk with political leaders throughout the state. I
speak with county executives all over New York State, and
you know, we've got a good nucleus here in New
York State. And you know, one of the things we've
got to do is focus very very carefully on changing
our state government because they're the biggest problem. With castlest bail,
(27:15):
with all congestion, pricing, all of these types of very
oppressive laws that are anti business, the pro criminal those
are the types of things that we've got to change
in our state government.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, if we have any big politicians listening, give them
some advice on how to be fearless. You've been a
guy who just you know, what's the right thing to do,
what's the smart thing to do, and you do it,
and maybe you get a little flack, but you get
through it. You're not under any big attack from anybody
to tell them how doing the right thing is sometimes
in the end will always work out for you.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Well, that's absolutely right, Mark. I think that if you
do the right thing, if you're courageous, if you stand
by your values and principles, eventually that will reap great benefits.
I'll give you a for instance, my cooperation with ICE.
We are the most comprehensive county in the United States
in our cooperation with ICE. We've removed forty seven illegal
(28:14):
migrants who had criminal records just last months. Twenty eight
of them were gang related. When people when I told
people I was going to enter into a cooperation agreement
with ICE, they were like, Oh, you're going to lose
the Hispanic vote. The Hispanic Americans won't vote for you.
We've pulled it now three times in the Hispanic American community,
(28:36):
they love it. From sixty two to sixty six percent
of Hispanic Americans want that cooperation with ICE because they
want safe communities for their children. They don't want their
children to being doctrinated into gangs. They don't want overcrowded schools,
they don't want homeless people in their neighborhoods. So my
support in Hispanic American community has been overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, it's a great example for any politicians. Just do
the right thing. You'll get a little flak here and there,
but in the end everything will be better. Everything works out,
and then you get credit for doing the right thing.
And we want everybody to vote for Bruce Blakeman on Tuesday,
that's election day, but you can do it now, there's
early voting in Nassau County. He's the best county executive
in America by far. And Bruce Blakeman, good luck, not
(29:20):
that you'll need it, but thanks for being with us.
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Mark, you're a good friend. Thank you so much. And
if I had your voice and your intellect, that'd be
President of the United States.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Definitely do well, not yet, not yet, we need you
in Nasau County then president, But thanks for making marks
take care. Yeah, he really has done a phenomenal job
in Nassau County. If we could clone him, that would
be perfect. If we could get somewhere like that as mayor,
then we wouldn't have to settle for these horrible choices
(29:51):
we got. Hey, we got a lot coming up today,
Buck and Clay at noon, excellent show. Then you got
the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity
today Wednesday. I think Curtis is on with Buck and
Clay today. I think in the one o'clock hour you'll
heard Curtis on Buck and Clay. Then, Hey, don't forget
Jimmy Fayala great show every night nine to midnight. Here
(30:13):
on seven to ten, w R set Up said on
the iHeartRadio app to WR to hear Mark live.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Set another for Mark's podcast, to hear him anytime now.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Back to Mark Simone on wor Well, it was just
about out of time. Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay.
Coming up today, Curtis will be a big guest on
the show. I think in the one o'clock hour you'll
hear him with the Buck and Clay. This will be interesting.
As we've been reporting all morning, there is some movement
(30:46):
in the Meyrill race. There has been a shift of
votes towards Cuomo. Again, we got all these junkie polls
for this. Nobody's spent the money for a serious, serious
poll from a top polster, so we don't know for sure,
but we'll see there is movement towards Cuomo. He's picking
up a little steam. We'll see if it's enough, if
(31:06):
there's an enormous turnout, if it gets to two million,
which it hasn't in a million years, then a Cuoma's
got a shot. So we'll we'll see. Hey, don't forget Sunday. Actually,
Saturday night we go off daylight saving time. Saturday overnight
we go off daylight saving time, so Sunday will be
the first day where it's standard time and it'll get
(31:28):
dark out like at five point fifteen five point thirty.
That's going to be really annoying on Sunday. Hey, Sunday's
also a marathon day, so don't even think of driving
into Manhattan. It'll be traffic nightmare all over. The marathon
is in all five burroughs. Hey, we're out of time.
I'm here every day ten to noon or listen anytime
get the podcast, but I'll be back tomorrow at ten.
(31:49):
I'll talk to you then on seven to ten. Wo
It's more and more mister New York on seven to
ten wr.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well, hey, we'll get to Long Island this hour. Bruce
Blake wentillby with us. The best county executive in America.
He's up for reelection. Make sure you vote for him.
You know, you only got six days till the election.
Early voting is going on right now. Looks like extremely
heavy turnout in New York City that's believed to favor
Andrew Cuomo. Curtis as well, but there has been a shift.
(00:29):
There is some movement people that weren't going to vote
for Cuomo now voting for him. So he's picking up steam.
I don't know. It could be way too little, too late.
You got six days until the election. You got I
think five more days of early voting and then you'll
get a lot of voting on election day. A lot
of people still wait till election day to do it,
(00:49):
and it's all kinds of traditionalists that do that. But
how did we get in this mess? Well, you can
blame Andrew Cuomo pretty much. The Democratic Primary is what
caused this mess. Cuomo was not supposed to be in that.
You know, when you leave office in disgrace, you quit
in disgrace. You're not supposed to come back that fast,
you really not supposed to come back at all. But
(01:12):
he jumped in there and it was enough to scare
Eric Adams out of the primary. And who knows, Adams
might have done much better against Mom Donnie, but it
was a primary of crazy Democrats, Brad Lander, those type
of guys, and Cuomo was just a disaster in both debates.
(01:32):
In the primary, he was horrible, got beaten to a
pulp by Mamdanni and he didn't do well. It was
just a terrible campaign. He didn't do a lot of
rat didn't do anything, no rallies, no event, there was
not much of it. There was no energy to his campaign.
So he lost. He was totally rejected by Democratic voters.
Mam Donnie won the primary in a huge amount of votes,
(01:54):
and that's how he got stuck with him. And once
you get on that Democratic nomine once you're a Democratic nominee,
there are so many people that just can't help. But
it's just knee jerk. They just pull the Democratic lever.
So that's the problem. And the Democratic registration in New
York is like five to one over the Republicans. Now
(02:16):
Cuomo then jumps in on a third party. But remember
he's not a major party candidate, he's a third party candidate.
In fact, when you go to vote, you got a
hunt for his name. Top of the ballot is Mom Donnie,
next is Curtis, and then you got to go down
eight spaces to get eight. Cuomo is eight names down
on that ballot. So it's not easy to find. But
(02:36):
how did the Democrats let this happen? You got Chuck Schumer,
you got these old traditional Democrats jillibrand even that, you
know that crazy Kathy Hokeel. Why didn't they say anything,
the elders of the party, why didn't they do something
about this crazy socialism. Well, in the case of Schumer Hochkel,
they're terrified, they're just frightened. They're not leaders. They're terrified,
(02:58):
they're paniced, they're afraid of him, they're afraid of getting primaried.
But what about the guys that well, you know, this
is not just a little fringe of the Democratic Party,
it's all through the Democratic Party. The leadership is now
AOC Bernie Sanders. They're not tolerating Mom Donnie. They love
Mam Donnie. Listen to Bernie, Let.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Be cut to the chase. The billionaires have already spent
nineteen million dollars to Troy to defeat Zaron Mamdani for
Mayor of New York in this last week. They're going
to spend a hell of a lot more. Our job
is to do everything that we can to bring out
(03:39):
the vote.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You see, that's what they're tapping into. A lot of
this is about the billionaires, the billionaires.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Let be cut to the chase.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The billionaires have already.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Just billionaires, the damn billionaires, those billionaires. You're supposed to
live in fear of these billionaires. First of all, Mom
Donnie was financed by a lot of billionaires. There were
a lot of Soros types that financed Mom Donnie and
financed all this Bernie nonsense. It's billionaires, fine it, but
(04:13):
it sounds good. You remember when Biden took office, kept
telling you about the white supremacist The biggest threat in
America is white supremacists. Well, there aren't any white supremacists.
There's a couple in a federal prison somewhere, and there's
a few in the Appalachian Mountains. But I remember the
police Commissioner dermot Chet is on good day in New
York and if Biden was going on and on about
the threat from white supremacists, and Rosanna scotisists to him,
(04:37):
how serious is the threat from white supremacists in New
York City? And he was very thoughtful, he said, you know,
I don't really have let me give you an answer tomorrow.
Let me check on this research this And the next
day she read what he sent to her. He said,
I've checked everything. Our department has never encountered a white supremacist,
so it wasn't a threat. But it's the same thing
(05:01):
the billionaires, these billionaires. Now, what is it these billionaires
are doing to us? Well, they're paying most of our
taxes for us. You know, here in New York, the
billionaires pay forty eight percent of the tax. The top
one percent pays forty eight percent of the tax here
in New York. And they do create a lot of jobs.
(05:21):
You know, you see these billionaires. Look at they open
that JP Morgan Chase brand new building on Park Avenue.
Well it says there'll be ten thousand people working there.
So it's one building, ten thousand jobs. And you know
some of these billionaires they create companies like Amazon, Federal Express.
Fred Smith, great guy, he created the Federal Express. That's
(05:44):
eight hundred thousand job. See, you kind of need these billionaires,
but you're supposed to live in fear of them the
way he talks. They're billionaires, those billionaires. Now, be honest.
You ever walk down the street and you say, oh,
watch out, there's a billionaire. You're really supposed to be
afraid of them. You cross the street, Oh, let's go
this way. There's billionaires over there. They're really not going
(06:06):
to hurt you, these billionaires. But that's what Mamdanie taps into.
Even though he's funded by billionaires. You're not supposed to
notice that. But it's just crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Then he promises this free stuff, you know whatever, They
promised this stuff, free buses, free rent, free apartments, free food,
free grocery stores, free. It's the billionaires that pay for it.
If you get rid of them, nobody's gonna pay for this.
By the way, with the free buses, I've been telling
you this all along, but the MTA chairman, that weasel
Jano Lieber, finally came out and said there's no such
(06:38):
thing as free buses. The mayor has no power over
the MTA no control of the MTA, and he said,
forget the free buses. It's an absolutely ridiculous thing. But
this may All race has It's not just here in
New York. You know, the whole country is focused on this.
You're the big national shows. You know. You listen to
Sean Hannity radio show. That's seventeen million peace people around
(07:00):
the country. They're all talking about it. I was on
Cudlow yesterday. It's the number one show in business television,
national show. But we could talk about the mayor ole
race in great detail, and everybody around the country knows
all the stuff. They're following it closely. So most important
thing is get out there and vote. Voter turnout is
five hundred percent above normal right now. If that continues,
(07:21):
we could get to two million votes. If that's the case,
Mom Donnie has a really good chance of losing. If
it's the normal thirty percent turnout, he's got a real
good chance of winning. If it gets to two million
up near, there a very good chance at mom Donnie loses.
So that's the key, get out and vote. And another
important thing to keep reminding you. If you're in Manhattan,
(07:42):
get rid of Alvin Bragg the DA. Vote for maud Marin.
She's the Republican candidate. She's very big on this is
a revolutionary idea. I'm putting the criminals in jail. The
current DA. Brag doesn't believe in jail. He believes in
letting them all out. He said that on day one
and a famous memo. So get rid of Alvin Bragg,
vote for maud Merin, and again throw out everybody on
(08:04):
the city council. Just everybody, clean house and get a
new common sense city council. If you're worried about Mom, Donnie,
that's one thing you can do, because city council has
more power than anybody. Hey, when it comes to twenty
twenty eight, what are the Democrats going to do? A
lot of them want to run a lot of these
cabinet members, the Pete Buddhajetge types. But they're going to
(08:26):
have a big problem because more and more stuff is
coming out and you'll continue to see more showing that
Joe Biden was a complete zombie, a vegetable that didn't
know where he was and they were all covering it up.
So if you're in the cabinet, you're gonna have to
explain why you helped cover that up, why you didn't
say anything. So anybody in the bidendministration is going to
have trouble running. They'll never be able to explain why
(08:49):
they didn't come forward or why they didn't do something.
So this helps Gavin Newsom because he could say, you know, hey,
I was all the way out in California. I didn't
know what was going on. And Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor,
good governor. Maybe he's eyeing twenty twenty eight. He's starting
to say things about Biden that everybody should have noticed.
(09:12):
He noticed, he saw things wrong. He said, just watching television,
I saw So he's starting to do that. Hey, now,
what about Trump in twenty twenty eight. You know, he's
talked about how he could run in twenty twenty eight.
I don't know how he could, but he's been talking
about it. I think you might see that talk stop
from what I hear. Mike Johnson has told him to
stop with the twenty twenty eight He's basically just taunting people.
(09:33):
But Johnson said, you could hurt us in the midterms.
People might get so scared of that, just as you know,
just as a buffer they might vote for Democrats just
to make sure government was split. So he said, stop
the twenty twenty eight talk. It might help Democrats in
the midterms. So you probably see Trump stop that the shutdown.
(09:55):
The Democrats keep voting to keep the shutdown going. I
don't know why they keep voting that Schumer making. He's
having another press conference to day. He just makes these
crazy comments. There was one yesterday. Why is the president
on a foreign trip? What is he doing overseas? Why
would he be on a foreign Well, he's coming back
with great deals. He's saving the American economy with that stuff.
(10:18):
That's why the stock market has been soaring. He's been
making great agreements, trade deals, all sorts of economic deals
with country after country. It's called deliverables. He's getting us stuff.
He meets with the President She late tonight.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
President Chief China is coming tomorrow here and we're going
to be I hope making a deal.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think we're gonna have a deal. I think it'll
be a good deal for both. Yeah. Now this could
be big. This could really be a big, huge boost
of the economy. Now you'll say it's tomorrow the meeting
with She. But because of the crazy time difference, it'll
actually be late tonight for us. Hey, the cartel, you know,
(10:56):
we keep blowing up those ships out there. A lot
of people are saying, if Trump's going to war with
the cartel, why does he blow up the labs, you know,
like in Mexico where they make the drugs. Why doesn't
he blow that up. There's a lot of strategy to this.
They've thought about this very carefully. This is very strategic.
They have figured out if you blow up the lab,
they can rebuild another lab. Oh, it might cost them
(11:19):
twenty five thousand to build a new lab, but twenty
five thousand. If you blow up the ship with the
drugs on it and all the ingredients, that's twenty five million.
So the idea is to bankrupt them, to just drain
them financially. So and you can make all the drugs
you want in a lab, but that doesn't mean anything
if you can't transport them.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
To the U.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And it's mostly by ship, so it shuts down the
transportation of the drugs and it kills them financially. Again,
blowing up the lab. You can you watch Breaking Bad though,
how they built those labs. It's about twenty thousand twenty
five thousand means you blow up the lab, they can
have another one up in a week. You blow up
twenty five Some of those ships had fifty million in
(11:58):
drugs on them. You really really hurt the car. Tell
So anyways, Hey, the ballroom project moving along. They're moving
very fast.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
The reason for the ballroom the President, as a world leader,
met all the other world leaders all over the world,
and he noticed when you go see a world leader,
they're in a palace. It's the most ornate, palatial, unbelievably
spectacular places you meet them. See realized they come to
America and the Oval Office. You know, we think it's great,
but it's a pretty plain room. It's like a plain
(12:32):
municipal office, and it doesn't project what you want to project.
And when they come here, the President feels, you know,
you see the Oval Office. Now he's got gold and
it's too ornate and it's too looks like Versai or
someth Well, that's to project power, strength, wealth, because that's
the way those world leaders live and that's what their
office looks like. So he's trying to project that back.
(12:54):
And when they come here for a major event, it
was pathetic. They would hold it on the White House
lawn in a tent. The East room of the White
House only holds about one hundred people, but you can
do five six hundred. They would do it on a
tent on the lawn. It's like you're at a wedding
in Great Neck, Long Island or something and a tent
(13:14):
with porta bodies. So that's why he's building this ballroom
so when they come here, it projects wealth and power
and strength. Better image for the United States. Oh, speaking
of Long Island. Check out my Instagram. So I'm going
through these old photos. I find this was from twenty
years ago. It's Sean Hannity, me and Curtis. We did
(13:35):
a big book signing event at Huntington, Long Island book review.
Remember that great book starts Gone now but spectacular. I mean,
I love this picture. It's from twenty years ago. Look
how different everybody looks twenty years ago. It's up on
my Instagram. Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. Mark Simone NYC

you're a watch collector, you know Wempy and better Ridge

big and they're in a temporary store. But even in
the temporary store it's spectacular. They had their watch fair

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Mark simoneshell.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wr Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Stuart
in South Carolina. Stuart, how you.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Doing, hey, Mark Carl you you know, I'm trying to
find out a lot of information about the Alvin Bragg race.
Because Alburn Bragg stays in there with Mom, Donnie or
even Cuomo and hoche Well, you're going to have the
trifecta of hell.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, everybody, get rid of Alvin Bragg. Vote for Maud Maren,
the Republican candidate. She's a good on crime. Vote for her.
Get rid of Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Absolutely, he's crossed so much death and destruction in New
York City. I can't imagine anybody voting for this guy.
And it sounds like does he still have a shot
or what?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeh, it's crazy New York City. The good news is
with these DA races, it doesn't take a lot of
votes to get rid of them. So make sure you vote,
get out there and vote for Maud Meren for d
A good point, Stuart, Let's go to Billy in Manhattan, Billy,
How you doing, Mark?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
We well, a couple quick points. Who have the heard
of this Gotham polling group? From what I gathered, it's
a couple of hundred senior citizens that are friendly to
Cuomo and alost publicity, including your station. It's bogus.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, you know, you got to remember in this race,
we haven't had any real good polls. We've had all
these junk polls, these college polls, these media polls. Normally,
the campaign behind the scenes they bring in the big, big,
serious pollsters, the John McLaughlin's, but none of them have
spent the money. That's the problem. So we're you're these
public polls are all just just junk. Let's go to
(16:40):
Jan in New Jersey. Jan, how you doing Mark?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
May or?
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Doesn't that sound good?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
No? No, I don't want to be mayor?
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Okay, all right, I know you don't want it, but
you'd be great. You know what I was thinking. There's
so much like everybody, but with Mom, Donnie and AOC
and Bernie, they're like keeping people to be caterpillars instead
of letting them to be butterflies.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
All right, I don't know what that means, but okay,
Let's go to Jimmy and New Milford. Jimmy, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Taking Wanning Mark Cala good.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
There's one thing that I could never there's really I
can never figure Colo for, and that was when he said, boy,
you know, America was never that great anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
One of those famous comments, you know, to talk about
these things that mom Donnie said in the past. Coloma
said some pretty bad things in the past. Two Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, good morning, Mara. Mark. Among
the many things you said that or right on the money,
you mentioned the fact that the new Chase building. Now
I want AOC Bernie Sanders and Mondamie to think about this.
Think about all the tax relief and all the money
that that building is supplying to the city, first off
(18:01):
in property tax, in water and sewer tax, and then
all the people that are being employed. You said, what
ten thousand people are being employed in that building. Yeah,
all right, All those people have to be are paying tax, right,
and they're contributing also to the local economy. Because Jamie
(18:21):
Diamond says he wants everybody to work right at least
three four days a week.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, yeah, what's your five days a week? Great, Jamie dimonds, Well,
as you got to go back to the office, right.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Because he knows that that's contributing to the local economy,
to the delicate tessant, to the dry cleaners, this, that
and the other. And another thing that you mentioned. You
mentioned the great voted turnout, the high voted turnout. John
Katamatidis last night said that in June, and this is
another reason why we must bring the primary back in September.
(18:56):
In June, it was one hundred and two degrees that
day that they had the primary. I felt like when
I went to go vote, I was gonna drop bed in.
The polling place is only three blocks from my house.
People are busy, schools over, they're getting ready to go up, stay,
go on vacation. And also, no, it's a good two
(19:17):
degrees heat and everything.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No good point, no more, no more primaries in June.
They got to move back to September where they belong.
But Vincent, we got to go do the news. Great call. Yeah,
it was there's another There's been a lot of tricks
they've used, from the rank choice voting to moving the
primaries to June. You get much lower turnout if you
do it in June. If you do it in September,
you get much better turnout. Hey, when we come back,
we'll talk to the best county executive in America, Bruce Blakeman.
(19:42):
He's up for reelection. Obviously he's gonna win, but make
sure you get out there and Botram. We'll talk to
him next on seven to ten w R. Mister New York.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Hey, that's Marks alone, seven ten WR.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well, we love Long Island, especially Nassau County, and it
has the best county executive in a America. There's not
even a close second. Bruce Blakeman is the county executive
up for reelection on Tuesday. Make sure you vote for
Bruce Blakeman on Tuesday. And he's with us right now.
Bruce Blakeman, how you doing good?
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Mark? Thank you so much. You're very kind, really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Do you actually have an opponent? Has anybody had the
nerve to run against you?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Yes, we have an opponent. I don't take anything for granted,
you know, Mark, in Nassau County we have one hundred
and ten thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans, so we
can't take anything for granted here.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right, So everybody get out and vote for Bruce
Blakeman on Tuesday. You have early voting out there too,
don't you.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yes, yes, so yeah, do it today.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And you have a very good district attorney to Anne Donnelly, right,
we have Bridge. You'd vote for her too well.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Working with Anne Donnelly and our great police Commissioner Pat Ryder,
and our police department, our Sheriff's department, working very closely
with ICE, we are the safest county in America, which
you're saving. It's saying a lot since we're on the
border of New York City and our populations larger than
ten states in America.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, so if mom Donnie wins, can we join Nasau County?
Can New York City become part of Nasau County? Is
that possible?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Our real estate brokers are doing a tremendous business right now.
Our housing prices are going up up, So if you
want to come to Dassau County, now's the time to
buy because it's only going to go higher. People are
very concerned about him becoming mayor. I certainly am planning
with our police department measures that we're going to take
(21:36):
because We have a great relationship with the NYPD right now.
We share intelligence, we share assets, we work very well together.
I'm not sure that's going to be the same if
he's elected.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
How hard is it just to have common sense in politics?
You know, one thing, you come from the private sector too.
Do you think that should be a requirement that you
had to have been in the private sect just to
learn common sense and how to be practical about things.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
I think it's a great platform to run for office
where you have to meet a payroll, where you understand
that everything that every decision that's made is a cost
benefit analysis. That's what you should do in business. That's
what you should do in government. Unfortunately it's not done
in government. But you know, we do common sense things
(22:25):
out here, like boys play with boys, girls play with girls.
We don't want boys in girls bathrooms and locker rooms.
Just common sense.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, and things are booming in Nassa right Every time
I'm out there, you got another hotel going up, more
stores are opening. It's the economy is bigger than ever,
isn't it.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Our gross domestic product is larger than one hundred and
twenty six nations in the United Nations. We are an
economic powerhouse. Our restaurants are as good as New York City.
Our shopping is as good as New York City, may
be better. Beautiful beaches, beautiful parks, great museums. And by
the way, I heard you mentioned the Udell's, great great
(23:07):
entrepreneurs out here in Nassau County. I love them because
they create a lot of sales tax revenue for us.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Hey Mark, you, Della, his wife, Candy, that whole family
is just wonderful. And that's another example. Like he's adding
another FLOORI to his store. Next store, you got rh
Restoration Hardware. They just opened a spectacular store. So they
must think highly of you and Long Island if they're
spending all this money to expand.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Well, we are the safest county in America. We haven't
raised taxes one penny in four years, so we're doing
the right things out here. And we encourage businesses to
come to Nassau County. I meet with business owners from
all over the world, not just the United States, and
encourage them to do business in Nassau County because it's safe.
(23:55):
We've got beautiful housing stock, as I said, we've got
beautiful beaches. Our school are top notch. We've got a
lot to offer out here.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, so why does anybody go to the Hamptons. I've
never understood that it takes you nine hours to get there.
Nasau County got better restaurants and better stores, you got
beautiful beaches. But I guess it's good they don't all
come because you can't, you'd have too many people.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
We were the Hamptons before there was a Hampton mark.
So we have the Gold Coast, which has amazing homes, again,
great restaurants. Then on the South Shore, we've got some
of the most pristine, beautiful beaches in the whole world.
So we've never marketed Nassau County the way that we should.
(24:40):
So the last four years, that's all I've been doing.
As I said, our gross domestic product is incredibly high.
When I came into office, it was eighty five billion
a year. It's now over one hundred and twenty five
billion dollars a year.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So everybody vote for Bruce Blakeman Tuesday's election. That you
can do early voting if you're in Nassau County, make
sure you vote for Bruce Blakeman. And you must have
you thought about the next four years. What you want
to do, you must have a lot on your plate there.
But what's next for NASA?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Continue to make it safer, continue to make it more affordable,
keep taxes down, and use common sense, as you said,
and American values. We need to get back to American values.
Our kids have been indoctrinated with nonsense in our schools
and universities, and we've got to reteach them about the
(25:30):
things that were taught to us by our parents and grandparents.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, when you get a mom Donnie getting all these votes,
a lot of people think that's the result of universities
becoming crazy left wing and doctrination centers, glamorizing socialism. And
how do you undo that that could take They've raised
generations of these crazy people. How do you undo that?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Well, we have to re educate Mark. By the way,
communism has been a failure. Socialism has been a failure.
You can't point to one country where it's been a success.
And my friends who are who are you know, immigrants
from socialist countries. They can't understand why we don't teach
more in our in our public schools and our universities
(26:14):
and our private schools about what socialism and communism are
all about. It's basically being nonproductive, depending on the government
to control every aspect of your life. Anti religion, no spirituality.
It's really a dismal life. I think Winston Churchill said
(26:34):
it's the sharing of misery.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I like that. So Bruce Blakeman is up for reelection.
Make sure you vote for him on Tuesday. Best county
executive in America. Have you getten calls from other county executives?
You've worked miracles there? Have they called you for a
guidance advice?
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Well, I talk with political leaders throughout the state. I
speak with county executives all over New York State, and
you know, we've got a good nucleus here in New
York State. And you know, one of the things we've
got to do is focus very very carefully on changing
our state government because they're the biggest problem. With castlest bail,
(27:15):
with all congestion, pricing, all of these types of very
oppressive laws that are anti business, the pro criminal those
are the types of things that we've got to change
in our state government.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, if we have any big politicians listening, give them
some advice on how to be fearless. You've been a
guy who just you know, what's the right thing to do,
what's the smart thing to do, and you do it,
and maybe you get a little flack, but you get
through it. You're not under any big attack from anybody
to tell them how doing the right thing is sometimes
in the end will always work out for you.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Well, that's absolutely right, Mark. I think that if you
do the right thing, if you're courageous, if you stand
by your values and principles, eventually that will reap great benefits.
I'll give you a for instance, my cooperation with ICE.
We are the most comprehensive county in the United States
in our cooperation with ICE. We've removed forty seven illegal
(28:14):
migrants who had criminal records just last months. Twenty eight
of them were gang related. When people when I told
people I was going to enter into a cooperation agreement
with ICE, they were like, Oh, you're going to lose
the Hispanic vote. The Hispanic Americans won't vote for you.
We've pulled it now three times in the Hispanic American community,
(28:36):
they love it. From sixty two to sixty six percent
of Hispanic Americans want that cooperation with ICE because they
want safe communities for their children. They don't want their
children to being doctrinated into gangs. They don't want overcrowded schools,
they don't want homeless people in their neighborhoods. So my
support in Hispanic American community has been overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, it's a great example for any politicians. Just do
the right thing. You'll get a little flak here and there,
but in the end everything will be better. Everything works out,
and then you get credit for doing the right thing.
And we want everybody to vote for Bruce Blakeman on Tuesday,
that's election day, but you can do it now, there's
early voting in Nassau County. He's the best county executive
in America by far. And Bruce Blakeman, good luck, not
(29:20):
that you'll need it, but thanks for being with us.
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Mark, you're a good friend. Thank you so much. And
if I had your voice and your intellect, that'd be
President of the United States.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Definitely do well, not yet, not yet, we need you
in Nasau County then president, But thanks for making marks
take care. Yeah, he really has done a phenomenal job
in Nassau County. If we could clone him, that would
be perfect. If we could get somewhere like that as mayor,
then we wouldn't have to settle for these horrible choices
(29:51):
we got. Hey, we got a lot coming up today,
Buck and Clay at noon, excellent show. Then you got
the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity
today Wednesday. I think Curtis is on with Buck and
Clay today. I think in the one o'clock hour you'll
heard Curtis on Buck and Clay. Then, Hey, don't forget
Jimmy Fayala great show every night nine to midnight. Here
(30:13):
on seven to ten, w R set Up said on
the iHeartRadio app to WR to hear Mark live.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Set another for Mark's podcast, to hear him anytime now.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Back to Mark Simone on wor Well, it was just
about out of time. Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay.
Coming up today, Curtis will be a big guest on
the show. I think in the one o'clock hour you'll
hear him with the Buck and Clay. This will be interesting.
As we've been reporting all morning, there is some movement
(30:46):
in the Meyrill race. There has been a shift of
votes towards Cuomo. Again, we got all these junkie polls
for this. Nobody's spent the money for a serious, serious
poll from a top polster, so we don't know for sure,
but we'll see there is movement towards Cuomo. He's picking
up a little steam. We'll see if it's enough, if
(31:06):
there's an enormous turnout, if it gets to two million,
which it hasn't in a million years, then a Cuoma's
got a shot. So we'll we'll see. Hey, don't forget Sunday. Actually,
Saturday night we go off daylight saving time. Saturday overnight
we go off daylight saving time, so Sunday will be
the first day where it's standard time and it'll get
(31:28):
dark out like at five point fifteen five point thirty.
That's going to be really annoying on Sunday. Hey, Sunday's
also a marathon day, so don't even think of driving
into Manhattan. It'll be traffic nightmare all over. The marathon
is in all five burroughs. Hey, we're out of time.
I'm here every day ten to noon or listen anytime
get the podcast, but I'll be back tomorrow at ten.
(31:49):
I'll talk to you then on seven to ten. Wo
