Boca Raton Bracing for New Yorkers

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, news roundup information overload hour toll-free on numbers 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Broadcasting, we're doing the Fox Patriot Awards tonight.
It's in Long Island, Tilla Center, sold out.
Melania Trump, Erica Kirk, will be with us.
Also, country super megastar, Jason Aldean, will be with us.
Anyway, if you look at the numbers, the polling, 9% of New York City residents say they're going to leave.
Home prices in places like Nassau County, which is not part of New York City, and Suffolk County and Westchester County are going up exponentially.
Homes are being sold, according to reports, sight unseen, well above asking price with competitive bids all over the place.
That's going to be part of the migration.
And then you are going to see, you know, what have I been telling you?
I've been telling you Wall Street South is real, all the way from, you can even argue from Jupiter, Florida, all the way down to Miami, Florida, but everywhere in between.
And that would include Palm Beach, and that would include Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, all of these areas, all the way to Miami, all benefiting.
You have every Wall Street financial firm, every private equity firm, every major bank, every institution.
They all have massive office presence in Florida to the point now that many of these companies have more Floridians or more people in their company working out of Florida than they do in New York.
I think this is going to only accelerate.
But, you know, when you have people like, you know, Zoran, Kami, Marx's Mamdani, you know, we will prove there is no problem too large for government to solve.
I'm like, okay, here we go.
What?
You're going to pull my teeth now?
You're going to wipe, you know, grandma's diapers.
What are we talking about here?
No problem.
Government can solve.
But this is what he said.
We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.
Oh, okay.
That's Zora Mamdani.
Now, we also have Mamdani saying, remember I told you to stop sending us money?
Well, you can start again.
Listen to this.
On January 1st, I will be your mayor.
New Year's Day and a new era for this city.
Oh, and one more thing.
Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money?
You can start again.
This transition requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can meet this moment.
And it will be made possible by the people who built and believe in this movement.
So I hope you'll make a donation at transition2025.com.
Now let's get to work.
Oh, please send me money.
I thought, well, he's going to steal it from the rich people.
And he doesn't believe in billionaires.
If you go back to election night just two nights ago, the wild rhetoric from his supporters was just off the charts.
Listen.
We are in the heart of the Imperial Corps.
This is the country that defeated the USSR, unfortunately.
And the reality of the matter is, there's a lot of antagonism.
There's no class consciousness in the United States of America.
Now, socialists, I need some to come.
Socialists are not doing any word anymore.
Democrats, listen up.
Take some lessons.
Americans.
Now, for the sake of my friends in New York City, I had hoped that this this lunatic would not win.
But New York is in for very troubled times.
Comments, as we reported often, I won't regurgitate them here, about the police, about taxation, about opening up the prisons and decriminalizing even some, well, it's only a felony assault against somebody.
No, we don't need to put you in jail for that.
You know, it's defund, dismantle, no bail, reimagine the police, send in the social worker mentality.
And New Yorkers know that this is not going to end well.
You don't have to be a genius to figure that out.
Now, the mayor of Boca Raton, Florida is also the chairman of America First Policy Institute's mayor's council.
His name is Scott Singer.
He put up on X another message this morning from New York City business owners looking to move to the city of Boca Raton.
Expected to be a busy day.
Many companies have already made the move.
And if you're thinking about it now, we can help.
Anyway, Mayor Singer, how are you?
I've been to Boca many, many, many times.
I'm not far from you and love it.
The Boca Beach Club Resort is amazing.
You can't even get a membership there anymore, I understand.
It's hard.
We've been very popular, and I'm thrilled that you're down there and thrilled to be on the show.
And first, as disappointing as Tuesday night was, it wasn't surprising, but I take great comfort in knowing where we were a year ago.
It was a year because it was after midnight.
It was about 2.40 in the morning when I was in the auditorium in West Palm seeing President Trump come up on stage as president-elect.
And I think where we are as a nation and where the world would be, very different places had that not happened.
So while New York is in for some rough times, I'm grateful that we have President Trump's leadership.
I'm grateful for the successes of the last 10 months, which have been unmatched, and optimistic that there's going to be a contrast in other cities like Boca Raton with the ridiculous ideas that you're going to be seeing in New York.
Well, what has the effect been from COVID on?
There has been a mass exodus out of these blue states.
You know, I think one of the reasons that Jack Chitterelli had a very hard time in New Jersey, and he'd been hopeful, because nobody really paid attention to his race last time, and it was a very, very close race.
But the last three years in New Jersey, they lost a whopping, and nearly a quarter of a million people had migrated out of the state of New Jersey.
I have friends in New Jersey.
But, you know, there were polls that showed it could be relatively close.
I was not going to make the same mistake I made four years ago.
And I actually took the time and effort and flew up and wanted to do a town hall and give the people of New Jersey what I thought and think maybe may have been their last shot at saving their state.
They're 49th out of 50 in terms of taxation.
And, you know, but what do we see in the free state of Florida?
I can tell you, you know, look at a state like New York.
Florida has a much bigger population than say than New York.
Florida, you know, takes in less than half as a state and local governments of the taxes that New York takes in.
Less than half.
They have far better infrastructure, far better services, better law and order, more safety and security.
They have the best schools in the country.
They routinely rank one or two in terms of best schools.
They pay about half what they pay per capita per student in Florida than they do in the state of New York.
It's insane.
I mean, if you really want to see how bad government can get, this is a case study.
Well, absolutely.
But that's why I'm proud to focus on how good government is in Boca Raton and in Florida generally.
First, I agree with you.
We've got no state income tax, no local income tax.
Boca Raton is proud to have the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city, A-rated schools.
And that's why companies have been coming here for years, more so in recent years, more so in recent months.
And that's why we've been targeted in attracting businesses.
We don't expect everyone who wants to leave New York to be able to come here.
We expect that businesses are going to be able to come here and we've had a strategic approach to add to our 40 publicly created corporate headquarters.
Back to the other issues, you know, you are seeing people vote with their feet.
We've had 1.7 million people net gain of Republican registration over the last six years.
So to my constituents who are worried, well, are all these New Yorkers going to come here and bring their liberal votes with them?
All the evidence is to the contrary.
And that's why Florida has become a pretty ruby red state and unfortunately why Chiderelli had problems in New Jersey.
But we're focused as our mayors across this country on trying to govern with common sense policies and tie President Trump's America First agenda to what it means down on the street.
For example, when he secured the border, that helps with the fentanyl crisis.
That helps with human trafficking.
That helps with what our first responders have to deal with every day.
That's why I'm grateful to work with other mayors who are like-minded and grateful for the leadership we now have in Washington.
You know, years ago, I got to know governors like Rick Perry and Governor Rick Scott and Governor Bobby Jindal.
How did I get to know these guys so well?
Because they were constantly coming up to New York, enticing businesses to move to their states.
And the reason they kept coming back again and again and again is all of them were successful in their efforts in persuading these companies.
You know, remember, a company is in business to make money.
And when they would lay out the facts, the regulation, the regulatory environment, the tax consequences of the policies that are in place, it wasn't really that hard a math equation for most companies to make that switch and make that move.
It's not at all.
And the math is there.
In Boca Raton, our operating costs are 30% or more less than what you have in New York City.
We've got great Class A office space.
And when other cities can't fill their downtowns, we actually have a groundbreaking next month for a new Class A office tower right in the heart of our downtown.
We've got thousands of businesses there, and we have more hybrid offices, corporate headquarters.
People are coming here.
I know our governor, I know Senator Scott have had frequent trips to New York.
I've had my own pitching companies, and we're going to continue.
We got a lot of inbound calls yesterday.
We had a targeted campaign over the summer, NY2Boca.com, which got thousands of hits just in the first few weeks.
And we're following up those leads.
We have new capacity for our schools to process business owners who want to bring families with them.
And again, we're not going to be able to accommodate the million people who might want to move out of New York, but we are focused on businesses in tech, fintech, med tech, AI, quantum computing who are already finding homes in our ecosystem.
All right.
So over the last five years, you've seen a major influx.
With it, home prices, home values have increased for homeowners, which is usually most people's biggest investment.
You're talking to people in New York.
What are they telling you?
And New Jersey.
They're eager to find out how they can come down here.
What will we offer?
We offer streamlined services, concierge services for people looking to move.
We try to place them with all the services they would need.
We've added affordable housing to our stock.
Boca Raton is a more affluent community, but we are recognizing that we need homes for employees and workers, and we're trying to do that both in our city and as part of regional efforts.
But they're eager to see how much more they can save and a great talent.
We've got three great universities, including a tier one research university in Florida Atlantic.
So we've got talent at all levels.
You mentioned our public schools, got great private and Peroville schools, two colleges, and we've got an ecosystem here.
So people can know that when they're bringing jobs here, they've got a talent pool to come already select from in addition to the people they bring.
Well, I applaud you for the great job you're doing.
I applaud Governor DeSantis.
I applaud our AG, James Utmeyer.
I applaud our two senators, which are both doing a phenomenal job.
We have some great representatives in Congress that are phenomenal.
And I'm just grateful.
And the warm reception I got.
Now, I've always had a place in Florida for decades.
I don't know if you know that.
And so it was always my end destination.
And I remember I thought I was going to make the move around 2014 and I just wasn't able to pull it off.
It would have been too complicated for my children.
And I didn't want that for them.
But I can just tell you, all my friends are preparing to make that move, all of them, without exception.
So anyway, Mr. Mayor, we appreciate you.
Love the folks in Boca.
Good people down there.
And we're neighbors.
So I appreciate you taking time to talk about it.
Thank you.
Hope to see you in town and happy to help anyone looking to bring a business to Boca Rotality.
So thank you.
Tell them to call the mayor directly.
He'll pick up directly, right?
He'll talk to anybody.
Scott Singer, USA, or hit me up on email, phone, whatever.
You've got it.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
All right.
First, I've got to apologize.
We had a very nice woman originally from New York, lives in my free state of Florida.
And she was very upset yesterday calling in because she loves Frank Sinatra's New York, New York.
I'm saying it like Linda.
That's how you say it, right?
New York, New York.
That's how it is said.
That's not how I say it.
That is not how it is.
And by the way, how did your prediction work out that Curtis was going to?
Listen, don't bash Curtis.
Bass elected.
I'm not bashing Curtis.
Listen, I love Curtis too.
You want illegal immigrants and people choose me?
A lot of people turned on Curtis, not me.
I never said you turned on Curtis, but you turn it on me and I love Curtis.
No, I just told you it's really a super duper duper duper duper duper duper duper long shot.
And, you know, you kept saying, no, he's going to win.
I thought he was going to win.
I guess I had hope in a fair election integrity system, but I was a stupid person.
Stop with the, stop with it.
Now, New York does have the worst.
They have no integrity measures, but Democrats don't want them, or else we'd have paper ballot signature verification, voter ID, chain of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers watching the voting all day, the vote counting all night.
Let's leave it there.
So they don't have it.
They don't want it.
Democrats complain about results.
Republicans complain about results.
That would ensure people have confidence in the system and integrity with the results.
You count the ballots.
The end of the night, everyone goes home, has a shot of booze and goes to bed.
Bingo.
That's it.
But, you know, you don't want to hear that, but you were predicting Curtis.
I was.
It was never in the cards.
I'm telling you, when you talk to people outside, when you do, you say, hey, I don't want your name.
Hey, I don't want to know where you live.
Who you're voting for?
It was Curtis.
They're not voting for the predator who likes to be able to.
I had a lot of friends that live in the bubble of the Upper East Side in New York City.
Okay.
Call me over the weekend.
And there was like 30 of them.
They were all together at some party.
And they say, Sean, we know you follow politics.
Sean, everybody we know, even the people that did support, they're switching to Cuomo.
We're pretty sure he's going to win.
What do you think?
I said, no shot.
No, no, no, no.
Sean, it's everybody we know.
I'm like, no shot.
And they kept coming at me every different way.
Now, I was not that blunt to you because I always want to hold out hope.
And this wasn't on the air.
And I always believed that until the final votes counted.
But sorry, I don't.
First of all, I keep telling this audience, I tell them the truth.
I'm not Pollyannish.
I said, odds are not looking good.
And so I was pretty clear about it.
Now, you were living in this alternate universe of yours.
And it, you know, Curtis didn't get double digits in the end.
Now, I would argue part of that was this false argument that if Curtis dropped out, somehow that would help Cuomo.
Curtis voters were never going to vote for Cuomo.
The ones that did left Curtis, the ones that were persuadable.
He wasn't going to get that other 7%.
They would have either stayed home or voted for, you know, the Cat Party.
I don't know.
I mean, they have so many parties in New York.
What's wrong with protecting animals?
Nothing.
It's nice to protect animals.
Oh, you know who won?
You know who that animals?
He wants to murder kids and he kicks a dog in the coin.
I got that, but you know who the person that needs to be protected, the animals that need to be protected from the most is you.
What are you talking about?
You fed that cat.
That cat was 10 times the normal weight of a regular cat.
And you had to send it to a farm to get in shape.
And we've never seen the cat again.
I don't think that cat's living.
He is alive and well.
That cat weighed over 100 pounds.
You know what her name was?
Her name was Foxy.
You know what that means?
It's a good looking cat.
Okay.
Well, Foxy needed the shot.
Let's put it that way.
No, she didn't.
And even if she did, they're discounted now by President Trump.
So I could have gotten it.
I'm just telling you, Foxy needed the shot.
And I don't recognize.
By the way, James is showing me a picture of Foxy.
This is too much fun.
See, this is why I let this cat hang out together.
You guys are having a great time out there.
There's 10 times the size of a normal cat.
Are you talking about it?
As a matter of fact, I'll tell you what.
You just have to scratch it.
I don't know if you can say the word fat anymore.
I'm not afraid of that.
Of course you can say the word fat.
We're not liberals.
Well, I'm just saying.
This is a fat cat.
That's what it says.
We just had a guy on the title of his book is Balls.
I mean, really.
That's true.
That's not a bad point.
But Linda's cat literally weighed close to 100 pounds.
Oh, my God, Sean.
It's not Garfield.
We have a picture of it, and we're going to put it up on, where are you going to put it?
You got problems.
Where?
We'll put it on X right now at Sean Hannity on X, okay?
So for this wonderful sweet lady who called me yesterday and I asked for one day of grace, I'm just asking for one more little grace period.
And I wrote the song.
The great Joe Pags recorded it.
By the way, I did it weeks ago.
That's how confident I was.
Kami Marx's Mamdani was going to win.
And anyway, let's hit it.
Spread in the news.
I'm leaving today.
Don't want to be a part of it.
High-tax New York.
These membane blues are making me leave right to the very heart of it.
Bye-bye, New York.
I want to wake up in a city without bad crime and find there's no AOC and no Chucky.
These little town blues, they pull me away.
I'll make a brand new start of it outside New York if I can make it fair.
Save money everywhere.
Goodbye, F you.
New York.
New York.
Screw you, New York.
I wanna wake up in a city with no man dying and find out pay low taxes.
No crime all day.
Police that are low.
Criminals go away.
These big city blues have pushed me away.
All right, there you go.
All right, Liberal Rob in Ohio.
Liberal Rob thinks he's going to come on this program and gloat about Kami Marx's Mamdani's win.
Liberal Rob, I wrote that song that you just heard.
I wrote that weeks ago in anticipation that he was going to win.
This is New York City.
You know, what do you gloat with?
There's nothing to gloat about.
No, that a Marxist city elects a Marxist.
What's the big deal?
Well, you call people names and stuff, so I'm going to call Sean the drama queen Hannity.
Why is everything a downer that anytime somebody doesn't win that you like, it's always the end of the world.
Remember, Obama was going to take our guns?
Did he ever?
Excuse, stop right there where you are.
I'm not Rosie O'Donnell.
I'm not talking about moving to Ireland.
I'm not talking about leaving the country.
I'm not Ellen DeGeneres.
I'm not going to spend the next year, you know, saying racist, fascist, Nazi, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, the way Democrats have for the last year.
No, I'm going to get in the fight.
We're going to fight over the issues in a healthy way.
And eventually, hopefully, the Republicans win the midterms.
And if we don't, we'll come back and fight another day.
I've been through many election cycles.
Some I win, some I lose.
And guess what?
I keep doing what I'm doing.
And there's a lot of work to do either way.
You're saying the end is here for New York.
You know, and it's all going to, everyone already knows what the outcome is going to be.
You don't know that.
It's the same as you guys said.
No, well, if he keeps by his promises to defund the police, keep no bail laws, open the prisons, and tax everybody to death.
I mean, if he keeps his promises, it's a disaster.
You like disasters.
For example, you want to these defund, dismantle, no bail laws, sending in the social worker guys?
No, no, but there definitely needs to be some police reform.
Everyone agrees on that.
Okay, well, wait a minute.
That's not his position.
He wants to defund the police.
You know, he said queer liberation, you know, depends on getting rid of the police.
Whatever he was talking about, I have no freaking earthly idea.
But he said many, many times he wants to defund them.
He said many, many times he wants to send in social workers.
Are you saying you disagree with your Marxist comrade?
No, they absolutely have to have social workers go into situations instead of just going in.
Oh, okay.
So let's say there's somebody in a subway that's threatening to kill everybody and bring harm to the people in the subway.
What is a social worker going to do?
What is a social worker?
They're not going to be called for that situation.
They're different.
Well, give me a situation they might be called in on a domestic violence issue.
Give me an example.
A situation at home where a child locks themselves into a house and doesn't want to come out and is threatening harm to themselves.
So you're saying that you're going to send in a social worker to talk to a kid in a room that's threatening to harm himself or herself.
And what is going to say, now, Johnny or Susie, can we talk about what has brought you, what may have triggered this moment in your life that you're threatening to harm yourself?
That's your answer to it.
And your answer is to have a cop go in there and shoot him?
What the hell is wrong?
Are you really that stupid?
You don't have to.
Are you really?
You sound like you're not only a liberal, you're a dumb liberal.
Oh, Sean, relax.
I mean, no, you don't shoot children, but I probably, if they're threatening to harm themselves, I'd bust that door down and get in that room and make sure that kid doesn't hurt themselves.
And thank God you're not a cop.
So let me.
Oh, wait, wait a minute.
Wait.
So you want the social worker to stay outside the door and talk to the kid?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What if the kid's not talking?
What are you going to do then?
You take the cop and kick it in and beat him up and wrestle him and whatever you think is best because you know.
No, no, no.
I'm asking what you think is best.
So the kid is in there threatening to harm themselves.
What will the social worker do?
What would you do?
A social worker would open the door.
It's not hard to open a door.
No, the door is locked and barricaded.
What are you going to do?
They're trained.
We're not.
The social workers trained to knock down a door?
No, to de-escalate.
You like to escalate things.
De-escalate?
De-escalate.
A kid's threatening to harm themselves.
How dumb are you?
Seriously.
In the interim, while you're talking to the child through the door that's locked and barricaded, that kid is threatening to harm themselves.
You need immediate action and intervention to ensure the safety of that child.
Yes, you're right.
We should shoot him.
Thank you.
Everybody.
Nobody said shoot anybody.
Oh, okay.
So we're trying to, we're trying to eliminate those situations.
No, you just, oh, you know what?
I'm going to say something.
You're just not smart enough to call this show.
I know.
You're just not.
John.
You're really not.
Everybody listening to you right now thinks that you're really dumb.
Good idea.
I'm just saying because it's a really dumb idea.
Do you like the auto pen?
Do you think it's a bad idea?
It was a bad idea, right?
Oh my gosh.
Goodbye.
Have a good day.
Get off my phone, you big dope.
I got to add Mark Levin to my monologue tonight.
I didn't add Mark Levin.
I don't know.
I got to have new material.
I did a whole new act tonight.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
So honored tonight, the Fox Nation Patriot Awards, unlike any other award show, honoring the men, the women that are unsung heroes.
That's what this show is about.
Melania Trump will be here.
Also, Erica Kirk will be here.
Jason Aldeen performing here.
It's on FoxNation.com.
It all begins at 8 Eastern.
We'll see you tonight.
Thank you for making this show possible.
