Now on the Voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's the Mark sim Own Show on seven tenor well.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Shutdown is over. We'll get to that. We'll get to
the BBC. They're in big trouble reputation wise. We'll get
to Mom Donnie exactly who is he putting in City
Hall and what does it mean. We'll get to Tiss James.
We'll get to MSNBC. It's in its final week right now.
Friday's the final day of MSNBC. We'll get to Jimmy
(00:29):
Kimmel and his a nutty wife, and a whole lot more.
The shutdown is over, as is the career of Chuck Schumer.
It comes to an end with this. He'll never recover
from this disaster. The Senate voted to end things. They
decided to do it with the same exact deal they
could have had forty five days ago. Nothing changed, absolutely nothing.
(00:50):
A lot of people think they wanted that shutdown on
during the election, thinking it would in some way help
him in the election. But it's over, it's done, and
the House will vote on it. They won't be able
to do it today, probably tomorrow, the House will vote
on it and then the government reopens. As far as
the air traffic controllers, it'll take till the weekend to
(01:11):
get them back. That'll be a slower process. So by
there's still canceling flights today and tomorrow and probably Thursday
as well, but by Friday or Saturday it should be fixed.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
President Trump said that, you know, a lot of the
air traffic controllers decided if they weren't getting paid, they're
not coming to work. And a lot of them decided
to come to work even without getting paid. And President
Trump said he's going to try to arrange a ten
thousand dollars bonus for every controller that worked through the shutdown,
which is which is a great idea. So it's over.
(01:47):
The shutdown ended. It's now the longest one in history.
The longest before had been twenty eighteen thirty five days.
That was during Donald Trump's presidency. They get shut down
crazy when Trump is an office. So this was the
longest one ever went past the thirty five days. It's
over nothing. They didn't get anything as a result of
(02:09):
the shutdown, but that's always the case. There's never been
a case where any party ever achieved anything with a shutdown.
The shutdown Caucus is zero for fourteen they've never gotten
anything out of it. It's a good thing that's over
finally and everything gets back to normally. He's the president based.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
On everything I'm hearing. They haven't changed anything, and we
have support from enough Democrats, and we're going to be
opening up our country so bad it was closed, but
we'll be opening up our country very quickly. The deal
is very good. We're not going to be giving one
and a half trillion dollars to people that came in
from jails and from you know, the gangs and drug
(02:47):
dealers and all of these others that they wanted to
be given healthcare, which would have hurt our healthcare system.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, that was part of the ridiculous fight on the
Democrats health care for illegals. Now, the other problem is
they're going to have to redo the whole health care plan.
This Affordable Care Act is not affordable, and Democrats proving
that by saying it needs subsidies. It's not affordable. The
Affordable Care Act, the whole idea was affordable health care
for everybody. Well, apparently nobody can afford it because you
(03:16):
need a subsidy to pay for it. If it was affordable,
you wouldn't need that now. The real problem is that,
Liz Peek explained to us yesterday, the original idea with
obamacares you'd force everybody on it, and all the younger people,
say under forty, don't really use much health care, so
they're just paying into the system. And the older people
(03:39):
who use all the healthcare, they might be draining the money,
but all the young people kicking in money makes up
for it and it all evens out. The problem is
the courts didn't like it, and there was an Act
of Congress where they redid the whole thing where they
realized and there was a fear they would lose this
in court. The idea of a mandate you have to
(04:00):
buy this healthcare that the government couldn't do that. So
the legislation changed that so they were no longer younger
people forced to buy it. And younger people generally don't
buy healthcare if they don't have to. So it was
all just people draining the system, and that's how it
got all screwed up. So they'll have to redo Obamacare.
President Trump knows that.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
We want a healthcare system where we pay the money
to the people instead of the insurance companies. And I
tell you We're going to be working on that very
hard over the next short period of time. Where the
people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions
of dollars, where the people get the money.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, now it's his plan, He's someone are calling it
trump care. Problem is, if you call it trump care,
every Democrat's going to get sick immediately and going to
need some health care. If you call it trump care,
will any Democrats sign up for it? But the idea
of trump Care is they'll give you the money and
you go pick your plan. You remember the Obama lie,
(04:55):
The big Obama lie was if you like your doctor,
you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan,
you can keep your plan. Well, none of that turned
out to be true. You couldn't keep your doctor, you
couldn't keep your plan, you lost the choice and all
that with Obamacare. But with the President's plan of just
giving everybody the money, well you can then go out
and pick your own plan. It's a pretty good idea.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Another thing President wants to do with the tariff situation.
Tariffs will be coming down slowly but surely. But the
tariffs also bring in a lot of revenue, a ton
of revenue come the trillions. President says seventeen trillion. It's
not seventeen trillion, it's more like seven trillion, but you
know him. But it's trillions of dollars coming in in revenue,
(05:40):
and he wants to start distributing that couple thousand dollars
to everybody from the tariffs. You know, the United States
didn't have income tax. There was no income tax at
all in the United States still about nineteen fifteen. And
you'd say, well, how did they find the how did
they pay for the government, how did they fund the government? Well,
(06:00):
with tariffs, there was enough revenue to fund the entire
government just off teriffs.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
President Trump, the tariffs are very high on India because
of the Russian oil. And they've stopped doing the Russian oil.
It's been reduced very substantially. Yeah, we're going to be
bringing the tariffs down.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, one by one, each country will get their tariffs
to come down, and then you could start distributing some
money too from the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So we're going to issue a dividend to our middle
income people and lower income people of about two thousand dollars,
and we're going to use the remaining tariffs to lower
our debt. We're going to be lowering our debt, which
is a national security thing.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, so they'll get the check. Now, as you said,
lower and middle income, upper income, the wealthy will not
get a check. Now you're going to say, well, that
screws up the tax cuts for the billionaires. These tax
cuts for billionaires as well, There was never any truth
to that. Every study of the tax cuts show it
was almost all entirely for middle and lower income. Every study,
(06:59):
even the Biden IRS study showed that. But it doesn't
matter as long as you got the media covering for you.
He yelled tax cuts for the wealthy, tax cuts for billionaires,
and they keep repeating it, and after a while you've
repeat something enough everybody believes it. So the big casualty
of the shutdown is Chuck Schumer. Republicans can't stand him,
but now Democrats can't stand him either. He's just a
(07:22):
tired old dinosaur, an old relic, and all his silly
tricks don't work anymore. He did one yesterday. He does
this trick where he's not going to vote for it.
He is going to fight and stand up to this settlement.
He'll vote against it. Meantime, he tells eight other Democrats
go switch over and vote for it. He makes sure
(07:42):
it gets passed. He tells eight other people to vote
for it, and he votes against it just to cover himself.
But everybody knows he gave the wink in the nod
to the other people do it. He's supposed to hold
the line and make sure nobody voted for well, he
arranged for it to pass. But everybody's wise to him.
Nobody falls for this. Nobody likes the new glasses. The
(08:03):
big swift delos are glasses. But Schumer is done. The
crazy wing of the party, the socialist wing, the angry,
woke left wing, obviously they were out to get him,
primary him, chase him out. But now the moderates, the
middle class realize he's a useless guy. He's just old
and tired in his way of doing. He's the Mitch McConnell.
(08:24):
He's a Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell, Schumer, tired old fossils.
They all gotta go Schumer. I don't know if he
knows it or he realizes it. Republicans now own this
healthcare crisis. They knew what was coming. We wanted to
fix it.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Republicans said no, and now it's on them.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The problem is this, Mom Donnie is pretty slick. Mom Donnie.
You know he talks fast. He talks really fast, a
mile a minute, and he's just sprays things out. Schumer
puts on the old glasses and reads his index cards
and slowly reads them and you can tell he's reading
it off a card. Not effective anymore, especially in the
asked mom Donnie age and Schumer just out of touch.
(09:03):
Hey speaking to mom Donnie. All right, he's appointing more people,
naming more people. What's this administration going to be like?
Look like he's appointed Dean fully Hand to be the
first deputy mayor. That's the big job. That's the guy
that actually runs things. That's how Eric Adams turned around
(09:24):
his administration. He brought in the great Randy Mastro, who
was Juliani's a you know, first deputy mayor. He brought
in Randy Mastro a year ago, and Randy Mastro ran
city Hall and he you know, they got Jessica Tistion,
they got him. So that's why you Adam straighten out
the first deputy mayor. That's what really determines how an
administration is going to run. So Mam Donnie has brought
(09:47):
in Dean fully Hand. Now who is he, Well, he
was Deblasio's chief of staff. He was Deblasio's budget director
in the beginning, then became chief of staff for many
years under Deblasio. So as we keep telling you, this
is going to look exactly like Deblasio. We got through.
It was not great Deblasio. Obviously, crime went up and
things got bad, but we got through it. We got
(10:09):
through eight years of Deblasio. You'll probably be able to
get through. Mam Donni. Dean full of Hand will run things.
He's a Deblasio guy. He'll run it de Blasio style. Now,
the only problem is this Dean full of Hand. He
is the most connected guy in Albany with the Assembly,
with the legislature. He's worked up there. That's how you
(10:30):
got to know Mamdanni. He kind of mentored Mam Donni.
But he's a powerful guy with the legislature. The problem
there is if he's the first deputy mayor, if he's
the key guy in the Mamdani administration, he's a guy
will have klout with the legislature if they want to
get something passed, he can really push it through. That's
a problem that he'll have a lot of influence with
the legislature. Now, remember anything that passes, Hulkal has to
(10:55):
sign it. Of course, he's a terrible coward. If there's
any political pre sure she'll usually cave. But Hokel is
the one pushing Mom Donnie to keep Jessica Tish. Mom
Donnie would have no interest in keeping Jessica Diish, but
it's Hokal that keeps pushing that. Now, I don't know
in the end, once ma'm Donnie's in there and feels comfortable,
(11:16):
I don't know if Hkal have any influence over him anymore.
Probably not promise Jessica Tish. She's a good police commission
but she's very tough and strong, and if you look
at the Adams administration, she was pretty tough standing up
to Eric Adams, pushing back on things. Adams put up
(11:37):
with it. Mom Donnie probably won't, probably won't. He's not
looking for somebody to push back on him, so he
would not tolerate it. And Jessica Tish, very wealthy woman,
doesn't need the job, would leave in a second. Who
would Mam Donnie bring in. He's a high on his
list as Rodney Harrison, former NYPD of Department, Big big
(12:02):
NYPD gut he left a few years ago, became the
Suffolk County Police chief. Did a good job. You ask
people in the NYPD, they'll say, yeah, Rodney here says
he's good. He's good. They don't rave about him. They
wouldn't be thrilled about him, but they wouldn't be too upset.
He's a he's pretty good, but look for him high
(12:23):
on the list. If Jessica Tish leaves. Now, all this
Mamdani stuff, the free buses, he has absolutely no authority
to make. He has no control of the buses. That's
strictly the MTA, and that's controlled by the governor. Does
Hulko want free buses now?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes
money out of a system that relies on the fares
of the buses and the subways.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah. So, however, he could kind of do the free
buses by what the Blasio did with the subway. Just
tell everybody, you're you're not gonna do anything about turnstile jumping.
You're not going to arrest anybody for that. And remember
during Deblasio. Nobody paid on the subject. Well, normal people did,
but everybody else just jumped the turnstile so he could announce,
(13:11):
if you don't pay the bus fare, we're not going
to arrest you. That kind of stuff. But Mom Donnie,
he did promise those buses.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I continue to be excited at the work of making
the slowest buses in America fast and free, and I
appreciate the Governor's continued partnership and delivering on that agenda
of affordability.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The slowest busses in America, well, that's the result of traffic.
Has nothing to do with making the bus free. That's
a traffic thing. Now, one good thing about mom Donnie,
And everybody's threatening to leave, So Mom Donnie may solve
our traffic problem. He may end gridlocked just by everybody leaving,
So you've got to give him credit for that.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I'm just as excited as I was about free buses
today as I was more than a year ago. This
is the work that will animate so much of what
the three of us in what our City Hall will
do is to ensure that we are living up to
those promises and transform for politics as we know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, now, if you have free buses. Everybody says that, well,
they'll just turn into homeless shelters. The homeless we'll just
get on the bus and just stay there, just sleep
there all day and night. So hey, Tish James are sleazy,
dirty Attorney General Letitia James. You know she's got these indictments.
(14:21):
She's got probably hear there's more indictments coming. Mortgage fraud.
She bought these houses. We had no idea about this
because the media totally corrupt, never ever investigates anything, so
we didn't know while she's our attorney general why she's
conducting lawfair against Donald Trump. She's also a slum lord.
That's her hobby, being a slum lord, buying these broken
(14:44):
down houses in Virginia, and a couple of them she
stuck family members. And this is the one, the famous
one with the mortgage fraud that she said was her
primary residence. She stuck her niece in there, and apparently
a lot of criminals in this family. The niece is
jump parole, she's a wanted fugitive. She's been staying in
the house and apparently since Letitia James bought that house
(15:08):
and put her relative in there, police have been called
to the house multiple times. Dozens and dozens and dozens
of times. Police have been called there for domestic issues,
for suspicious characters, all sorts of stuff. According to police reports,
they were sometimes called there multiple times in one day.
(15:28):
This is a tiss James family. Pretty sleazy, pretty sleezy.
It's in the genes, I guess. Anyway, Hey, we'll take
some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
one zero seven to ten.
Now on the Voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's the Mark sim Own Show on seven tenor well.
Speaker 1 (00:09):

couldn't keep your plan, you lost the choice and all
that with Obamacare. But with the President's plan of just
giving everybody the money, well you can then go out
and pick your own plan. It's a pretty good idea.
Speaker 3 (05:17):

Speaker 1 (05:17):

Tariffs will be coming down slowly but surely. But the

(10:30):
got to know Mamdanni. He kind of mentored Mam Donni.
But he's a powerful guy with the legislature. The problem
there is if he's the first deputy mayor, if he's
the key guy in the Mamdani administration, he's a guy
will have klout with the legislature if they want to
get something passed, he can really push it through. That's
a problem that he'll have a lot of influence with
the legislature. Now, remember anything that passes, Hulkal has to
(10:55):
sign it. Of course, he's a terrible coward. If there's
any political pre sure she'll usually cave. But Hokel is
the one pushing Mom Donnie to keep Jessica Tish. Mom
Donnie would have no interest in keeping Jessica Diish, but
it's Hokal that keeps pushing that. Now, I don't know
in the end, once ma'm Donnie's in there and feels comfortable,
(11:16):
I don't know if Hkal have any influence over him anymore.
Probably not promise Jessica Tish. She's a good police commission
but she's very tough and strong, and if you look
at the Adams administration, she was pretty tough standing up
to Eric Adams, pushing back on things. Adams put up
(11:37):
with it. Mom Donnie probably won't, probably won't. He's not
looking for somebody to push back on him, so he
would not tolerate it. And Jessica Tish, very wealthy woman,
doesn't need the job, would leave in a second. Who
would Mam Donnie bring in. He's a high on his
list as Rodney Harrison, former NYPD of Department, Big big
(12:02):
NYPD gut he left a few years ago, became the
Suffolk County Police chief. Did a good job. You ask
people in the NYPD, they'll say, yeah, Rodney here says
he's good. He's good. They don't rave about him. They
wouldn't be thrilled about him, but they wouldn't be too upset.
He's a he's pretty good, but look for him high
(12:23):
on the list. If Jessica Tish leaves. Now, all this
Mamdani stuff, the free buses, he has absolutely no authority
to make. He has no control of the buses. That's
strictly the MTA, and that's controlled by the governor. Does
Hulko want free buses now?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes
money out of a system that relies on the fares
of the buses and the subways.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah. So, however, he could kind of do the free
buses by what the Blasio did with the subway. Just
tell everybody, you're you're not gonna do anything about turnstile jumping.
You're not going to arrest anybody for that. And remember
during Deblasio. Nobody paid on the subject. Well, normal people did,
but everybody else just jumped the turnstile so he could announce,
(13:11):
if you don't pay the bus fare, we're not going
to arrest you. That kind of stuff. But Mom Donnie,
he did promise those buses.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I continue to be excited at the work of making
the slowest buses in America fast and free, and I
appreciate the Governor's continued partnership and delivering on that agenda
of affordability.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The slowest busses in America, well, that's the result of traffic.
Has nothing to do with making the bus free. That's
a traffic thing. Now, one good thing about mom Donnie,
And everybody's threatening to leave, So Mom Donnie may solve
our traffic problem. He may end gridlocked just by everybody leaving,
So you've got to give him credit for that.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I'm just as excited as I was about free buses
today as I was more than a year ago. This
is the work that will animate so much of what
the three of us in what our City Hall will
do is to ensure that we are living up to
those promises and transform for politics as we know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, now, if you have free buses. Everybody says that, well,
they'll just turn into homeless shelters. The homeless we'll just
get on the bus and just stay there, just sleep
there all day and night. So hey, Tish James are sleazy,
dirty Attorney General Letitia James. You know she's got these indictments.
(14:21):
She's got probably hear there's more indictments coming. Mortgage fraud.
She bought these houses. We had no idea about this
because the media totally corrupt, never ever investigates anything, so
we didn't know while she's our attorney general why she's
conducting lawfair against Donald Trump. She's also a slum lord.
That's her hobby, being a slum lord, buying these broken
(14:44):
down houses in Virginia, and a couple of them she
stuck family members. And this is the one, the famous
one with the mortgage fraud that she said was her
primary residence. She stuck her niece in there, and apparently
a lot of criminals in this family. The niece is
jump parole, she's a wanted fugitive. She's been staying in
the house and apparently since Letitia James bought that house
(15:08):
and put her relative in there, police have been called
to the house multiple times. Dozens and dozens and dozens
of times. Police have been called there for domestic issues,
for suspicious characters, all sorts of stuff. According to police reports,
they were sometimes called there multiple times in one day.
(15:28):
This is a tiss James family. Pretty sleazy, pretty sleezy.
It's in the genes, I guess. Anyway, Hey, we'll take
some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
one zero seven to ten.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
