  Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: That's right, it's three hours now, nine to noon, if
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: there's anybody who still doesn't know. Nine to noon every day,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: three hours every day. A lot to get to. We'll
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: get to Lindsay Clancy and all the latest. We'll get
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to President Trump in Ireland. We'll get to this big
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: AI scare. Who's really behind this? We'll get to the U.S.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Open.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Thank God it's over. Yesterday was the last day, right?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We don't have to see this again?
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Not a big U.S. Open fan. We'll get to Crazy
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie and AOC laughing at 9-11. We'll get to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the governor's race. We'll get to Celine Dion and more vicious,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: vicious rain yesterday. It came down just so fast and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: so hard. Fairfield County, Connecticut getting hit probably the hardest. Stanford, Connecticut,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: seven inches of rain hit. Tremendous flooding in areas in Stanford, Darien, Westport.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you see the video on the news, people
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in boats going. I mean, it was just awful. But
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: luckily it ended about noon and things getting back to normal.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: They even closed the Bronx River Parkway for a time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: yesterday in Westchester. President Trump in Ireland with the Irish
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister, and they're talking about all sorts of stuff.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The one thing he, well, you know, whiskey's a big
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: thing over there. Whiskey's a big thing. Everybody's been bugging me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: They're saying, would you do me a favor? It's so
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: unfair what's going on.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Woo!
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: All right. He's become a real politician, knows how to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: pander when he needs to. So that'll be that for
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that text. He talked about unification, which is very controversial
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: over there, but that's just a logical thing to say.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you always want to see unification anywhere where
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: any country is divided in two. It's not a crazy
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: thing to say. You know, last week they had that
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: midterm convention, that Republican midterm convention. It was a good idea,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a very good idea, although I don't know who the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: hell saw it. It was on Fox News, but you'd
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: figure most of those viewers already voting Republican. So I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: don't know who saw it. And then he threw out
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this thing about a $ 5, 000 check for everybody in America.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: If we win a $ 5, 000 check now, apparently, from what
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I hear, that was not in the speech, that was
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: not in the script, that was not in the teleprompter.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He just threw it out there out of nowhere, just
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: out of the top of his head, totally terrifying his
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: staff and everybody because they knew this was going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: be controversial. So, of course, on the Sunday shows, this
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is all they zero in on. This is all they
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: want to know about. Now, he just threw it out there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even planned. He's just shooting his mouth off.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But we've heard this before from politicians with Obama phones,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: with Biden yelling and screaming, I'll forgive your student loans.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: When had he actually seriously looked into it, he would
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: have found he can't do it. He has no power
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to do it. So they just throw out these things
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to appease the crowd. But if you're watching the Sunday shows,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: they never got to any real topics. They just zeroed
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: in on that $ 5, 000. It's just something. Now, maybe sometimes when...
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump shoots his mouth off. You think he's just reckless,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: but then it turns out there was an incredible strategy
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to it. So this could be one of those cases.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe he wants everybody talking about that $ 5, 000 check. Because
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: as I say, who saw this midterm convention? How many
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: people saw that speech? It was a little too long.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It was an hour and 47 minutes. A lot of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: people tuned out after 45 minutes. You just can't get
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: people to focus that long. Also, it's on against a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: big NFL opening game. So by throwing that out there
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and creating all this controversy, everywhere you go, every left-wing
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: fake news network show, they're all talking about it. So maybe,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you know, people just half pay attention to the news
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: in many cases. Maybe they want them to just keep
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: hearing $ 5, 000 check. You're getting a $ 5, 000 check. But here's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House. He's on the Sunday
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: show to talk about serious matters. And all she wants
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to ask about Or is this, this might be Meet
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the Press. They're all the same. The worst is that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Kristen Welker, she doesn't even try to sound like a journalist.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: She just sounds like a prosecutor, like for the Democrats,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: trying to tear apart Republicans. So whatever Johnson wants to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: talk about, she keeps asking about this $ 5, 000. Again, we've
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: got to process it like every idea.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: We'll work that through Congress.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: But you and I are wasting a lot of time
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: this morning when there's other important things to talk about. Well,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: you still haven't answered the question.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: Let me just button it up.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: We're going to move on to a number of other topics.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: But do you commit that if Republicans hold on to
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: the House and Senate that Americans will get those $ 5, 000 checks?
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: I commit that Congress will work through it and find
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: consensus on that like I have to do everything else.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a pretty good answer, but it's not what
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: she wants. You see, most of these people, they're not
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: looking for substance. These George Stephanopoulos, Kristen Welker, Martha Raddatz-type interviews,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they're not looking for substance in an answer. They're fishing
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: for a soundbite. They want a soundbite that they can
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: play over and over again. That's why, like in the debate,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they'll say, it's a yes or no question. I want
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a yes or no answer. And every politician should say,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: whenever that happens, I don't answer yes or no questions.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I can only give you a detailed answer with substance.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I don't do yes or no questions. But again, it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: just an idea he just tossed out.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Because everybody said that the great, big, beautiful bill will
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: never happen.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: It happened.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: They said that the 1776 for the.
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: Military, $ 1, 776.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Would never happen.
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: And it happened.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: They were paid.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: And now they say, oh, the $ 5, 000. The $ 5, 000 is
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: going to happen 100%.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: All right. You never know. You never know. If he
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: gets the Congress, control of the Congress, In the midterms,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: they can pass another big, beautiful bill, which increases revenue
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: into the federal government, which just makes the economy soar.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And from that, he could actually give a dividend back, $ 5, 000.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It cost about a trillion bucks, but he could do it. Now,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: people are yelling right now, Democrats, what do you mean
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: revenue is up? Deficit has nothing to do with revenue.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Revenue actually increased dramatically. Revenue is up, way up. That dividend,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, that deficit, that's government spending. Out of control, crazy,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: insane government spending. Republicans, just as bad as Democrats when
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: it comes to that. They're horrible at it. They're just
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: handing out contracts, letting everybody overcharge by 10,000% for the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: work in exchange for donations, votes. So deficit, government spending.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's a measure of government spending. That's all it is. Hey,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the Lindsay Clancy trial. This lawyer, he's like a real
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: showboating lawyer. He says everything is for the cameras. You know, even,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you remember he asked last week, he asked Donald Trump
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to pardon Lindsay Clancy. There's no federal charges. It's a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: local charge. Trump has no power to pardon a local case.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: It has to be a federal case. He's a lawyer.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: This guy would know that, wouldn't he? He knows Trump
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: has no power to pardon in a local criminal case.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: That has to be the governor. It can't be the president.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So just playing for the cameras. Apparently, they want a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: plea deal. Now, the problem is this particular prosecutor, this
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: particular DA's office does not plea deal. They have a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: history of not making deals. Extremely rare for this office.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But he's all over television. He's trying to convince them
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that they got no hope of conviction, that they'll get
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: embarrassed again with a hung jury. They shouldn't try. So Uh,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: she just doesn't want to go to jail. She doesn't
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: want prison. She's going to be in a, she's already
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in a mental facility, but she's going to be there
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: no matter what happens. She'll be there for years. It's
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a question of a couple of years in the mental
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: institution or life in prison. So he wants a plea deal.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That's the mental institution. She also wants money. She's suing
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the hospitals, the doctors, everything, all the medication they gave her,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the times they switched the medication. So she's suing for
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions of dollars. And the husband
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: is suing as well. And then they got this GoFundMe
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: where they're going to raise $ 3 million. The lawyer will
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: get a big chunk of that. I don't know who
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: else will get a big chunk of that. Hey, big
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: story starting last night is this AI threat. AI is
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: going to destroy us all. We have to get it
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: under control. AI is already getting out of control. We
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: have to slow down development of AI or it's going
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to murder us all. Sounds pretty scary. You had the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: CEO of Anthropic coming out and saying this, even wrote
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: an editorial saying it. You've got some other AI people,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: mostly employees, saying it's dangerous, it's out of control, it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: going to wipe us all out. Why all of a sudden?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Why One day, did this just get unleashed like crazy? Well,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: this is, now, forget for a second whether there's a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: threat from AI or not. What we do know is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that behind the scenes, stirring this all up, orchestrating this,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: getting this whole thing going, this explosion of controversies, is
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: one Barack Obama. Apparently, he's been meeting with Democrats behind
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the scenes. He's been quietly orchestrating the midterm campaign for Democrats, strategizing.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: He's been plotting all of this. The first plot was
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the data center's the AI data centers. They would turn
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: them into like nuclear power plants, something so scary to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: have in your backyard, to have in your state, in
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: your community. They wanted people terrified of these data centers.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: The nuclear power plant, maybe you could scare people with that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: A data center is just a big, huge building with
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of computers in it. The worst problem is
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: it makes a lot of noise. You don't want it
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: too close to you. It makes a lot of noise
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that can definitely be bad a half mile away and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: can still be heard a mile away. So if you
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just put it a mile away from everybody, it's no problem.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It's not going to melt down. It's not going to explode.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It's just a bunch of computers in a big, huge building.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: We already have data centers all over the place. You know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: we have 19 data centers in New York City. They've
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: been there for quite a while. They're not the big,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: big ones, but they're data centers. So apparently the data
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: center scare wasn't working as far as midterm election votes.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: So they've decided to make AI the big issue. The
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: other thing is they've seen the whole climate change stuff
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: didn't work. It worked for a time, but right now
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: nobody's worried about climate change. It's now 20 years later.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: When was Al Gore? In 1992. It's more than 20 years.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: 24 years later and nothing he said came true. We're
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: not underwater anymore. The glaciers didn't melt. In fact, they're
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: bigger now. Everything he predicted, the opposite happened. So nobody's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: quite buying that climate scare anymore. The climate emergency. You
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: can't use that anymore. So they're trying to get a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: new version of that, and it's going to be the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: AI emergency. Just like climate change was going to wipe
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: us all out, this is going to be AI is
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: going to wipe us all out. So apparently Obama has
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: been orchestrating this behind the scenes. But you... You're saying, well,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: what about the chairman of Anthropic, the CEO? He came
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: out and said it. Yeah, he's very, very close to Obama.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: He's a very close Obama associate. The fact that he
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: was the one AI CEO that came out makes this
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: even more obvious as part of this Obama scheme. So
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: he wants this to be the big midterm issue that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: AI is going to kill us all. We have to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: put government control over it. And they figured the Republicans
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: will oppose it. They'll be the ones fighting for this
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: kind of control. And that will be the winning issue
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: in the midterms. I don't think this will work because,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: first of all, most people aren't that stupid. I mean,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: AI has tremendous benefits. They think within five years it
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: could cure all diseases, that kind of stuff. Obviously, it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: something to be worried about, but it has so much
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: benefit to it. And government control, how's that going to happen?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer controlling AI? Do you think Chuck Schumer even
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: knows how to use his computer? He's one of those
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: old guys that has to call his kids to come
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: over and show them how to start his computer again.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know anything about AI. President Trump is all
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: for keeping going. He thinks it's very important that we
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: lead the world in AI. Whoever wins this battle wins everything,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: as President Trump.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Let's talk about Anthropic. They did something that was very bad.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: three months ago, and we shut them down. We shut
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: them down fast. We have guardrails. The biggest guardrails are
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: having people that are just as smart because nobody understands it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: We're making strides in every business right now that would take,
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: in many cases, 100 years to get to. The kind
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: of things that are coming out are incredible. Now, we
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: want guardrails, but at the same time, it's a very
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: fine line. You know, China doesn't have guardrails, by the way.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: You know, the guardrail is President Xi. That's the guardrail.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the other thing to remember. If we slow
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: down AI, China will just increase it. Remember the same
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: thing with the climate and that stuff. I'm going to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: get rid of all our coal plants. But then China
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: made 500 times as many coal plants as they had.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So you had more coal being produced than ever before.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: The same thing with AI. Now, when these guys try
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to scare you that AI could kill us all, how
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: exactly would it kill us? No matter what it was doing,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's digital it's online I mean the worst
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: would happen you have to pull the plug and turn
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: it off but I mean the one thing it could
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: do if it got totally out of control and tried
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to take over it could just jam up the internet
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: it can I mean right now AI can create bots
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: so fast if you have a website and it's getting
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: attacked by a bot which is like a fake account
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you know most websites know how to fight off those
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: bots and as they come in, they have software that'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: recognize it, block it, and stop it. But if you
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: used AI, it could send 5 million blots in a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: microsecond more than your software could handle. So that's the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff that could happen. Outside of that, it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: not going to kill you. There's certain proposals like, we're
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: going to have robots all over the place. Don't put
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the AI in the robots because the robot's a physical
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: thing that actually could kill you, could get nuts. So
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: But again, it's Obama behind this. They're using it as
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: a midterm election issue. And if, let's say, let's say
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they lose the midterms, the Democrats, you won't even hear
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: about it the next day. Anyway, we've got a lot
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: more to get to. We'll get to Celine Dion makes
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: her return. We'll get to Mamdani and more. Coming up,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: it's Mark Simone here every day. Now, three hours, nine
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to noon. here on 710WOR. Well, hey, it's Monday. There
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: are eight days left in summer. Eight days left till
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: fall begins. Autumn begins on the 23rd. It's going to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: be a beautiful day today. It's going to be a
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: little cooler this week in the, like, 70s, but really
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: nice all week, the final stretch of summer. So 9-11,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that's just such a hard day to get through. Friday
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: was a tough, tough day, reliving all that. So the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: ceremony at Ground Zero had all the living ex-presidents. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: guess you can include Joe Biden as living in that category.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And then Mamdani was there, which was creating all the controversy,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: but no incidents except we see this video and these pictures.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Mamdani is standing with AOC and they're laughing in the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: middle of the ceremony. laughing in the middle of the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: 9-11 ceremony. Remember that Seinfeld episode where he was caught
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: laughing during Schindler's List? He was making out with his
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: girlfriend during Schindler's List. But it just looked awful. Mamdani, AOC, joking, laughing.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: This is while the names are being read of those
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: lost on 9-11. A horrible moment. But I'm still telling
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you this is deliberate. He does these things deliberately. whenever
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: he has to do something noble, whenever he has to
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: do the right thing. I remember he signed that legislation
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: to fight terrorism. Looked like he was doing something good.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: But then he hands the pen to the lawyer for
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the terrorists. So he always does this. If he has
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to do something good, he does it. But he quietly,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: or not so quietly, sends a signal to his base
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that he's not really in this. Don't worry, I'm still me.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: And normally when you sign a piece of legislation, You
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: use five or six or ten pens. You use a
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of pens and you pass them out to
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: everybody that's there. The police commissioner, the deputy, you give
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: them out to everybody. But this time there was only
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: one pen and he gave it to the terrorist lawyer.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: So that was a signal to his base. Don't worry.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Don't really believe in this and I'm still with you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: So the same thing with laughing at 9-11. Same thing there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Letting his base know he's not really into this. And
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: the other thing is what kind of ego does this
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: guy have? You know, the president of the United States,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: when he signs the biggest bill in the world, uses
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: a bunch of pens and he hands these pens out
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: to people and they cherish them and display them forever.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Here's a pen from the president of the United States
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: when he signed the great, why would Mamdani think anybody
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: wants a pen from him? Why would anybody think in
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: 10 years, anybody will remember this guy? Uh, Can you
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: imagine going to somebody's house? I have a pen from
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. Look at this. This is the pen Mom
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Donnie used to sign a bill. What bill? I don't
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: remember what bill it was, but this is Mom Donnie's pen.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Put it up on eBay. Say you got Mom Donnie's pen.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: See how much you get for it. I don't think
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you'll do that well. President Trump was asked about them
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: laughing at the ceremony.
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: I think I want AOC.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm sorry. We can't seem to explain to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: these reporters. Don't ask questions when he's on the plane
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in the back right next to the engine, and we
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: can't hear a damn thing. And by the way, that's
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the uh uh not the regular air force one that's
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the big flying palace the one that cutter gave to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: him which means even bigger engines and you can't hear
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: anything he's saying so uh you know the big question
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: with these shopping malls retail is dying you see it
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: all the time you walk up madison avenue fifth avenue
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you see stores are closing and people are still buying
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: stuff they just buy it online obviously uh People buy
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: everything in the world on Amazon. But even if it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a top department store, even if it's Saks or Bloomingdale's,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: people buy most of the stuff from there online now.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: You know, they're going to look. You've got to try
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: something on. But they buy a lot of it online,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: so you don't need as much retail. And then affected
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the most by this are the shopping malls, the big malls,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: especially the indoor malls. They're just not busy like they
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: used to be. You know, you remember you used to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: have to drive around for an hour to find a
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: parking place. Now, you can park anywhere. A lot of
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: these malls are just quiet. They just don't have the business,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the traffic anymore. You still get the senior citizens who
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: come to exercise. You know, you have those big, huge, white,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: New Balance sneakers, and they just walk inside the mall.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: So this $ 100 million shopping mall is basically just a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: treadmill for some senior citizens. But What are you going
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to do with these malls? So the plan was from
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of the top mall companies that they would
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: convert them because they see senior citizens in there all
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the time to like places for senior citizens. You know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: you put in doctor's offices, you put in a movie theater,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: you put in a bunch of restaurants. It's not about shopping.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It's about like an amusement park for seniors. And again,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: second floor, a lot of doctor's offices, first floor, movie theaters,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: you know, things to do. But there's one mall at Manchester, Connecticut,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Buckland Hills Mall. It's a big mall. So they're doing
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: kind of the same thing, but for younger people. It's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: a huge mall, 80,000 square feet. So they're putting in
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: an entertainment complex, but it's more for younger people, kids
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and younger people. It's going to be the ALI Dreamland
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Apex Adventure Park. It'll be half the mall, 40,000 square feet.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: It's mostly a younger crowd. They're going to have party facilities,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: soft play areas, climbing apparatus, slides, bumper cars, a cart track.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: So 40,000 square feet, that'd be half the mall. And,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you know, these people are there all day. And then
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the other half, you put in restaurants, cafes, you put
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: in food courts, all of that stuff. So that's basically
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the plan. You either do it for seniors, you do
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: it for young people, but you got these enormous malls,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of acres. With a huge parking lot. So
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: that's basically what's going to happen to all of them eventually.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, these two out-of-work idiots who don't
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: know what the hell to do with themselves. Can't get
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: anybody to pay attention here. So they give up after
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a few years. They go to England. As soon as
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: they get there, the king puts out a letter saying
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: they have nothing to do with the royal family. They're
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: not royals. They are private citizens. Basically a letter saying
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: to everybody, don't do anything for them. Stay the hell
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: away from them. So what do they do? I don't know.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: So over the weekend, Megan, all over social media, posting
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: video pictures of what they're doing. Here's one of them
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: taking a walk in the woods. Here's one of their
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: daughter riding a bike down a bike path. Here's one
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: of Harry and the kids fishing. I don't know why
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to look at this. It doesn't look that exciting.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Go to Connecticut and see people doing this stuff. I
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: don't need to see them doing it. but they don't
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: know what to do with themselves. They have no idea
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: what to do with themselves. The kids are in school now.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: End of the school year, expect them to move somewhere else,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: looking for someplace where somebody will give them a job
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: or at least pay attention to them. Hey, we got
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to. Don't go away. We'll take
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: some calls a little later. Hey, we'll take some calls
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: in a minute. 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey, they are
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: going to name the airport in Nashville, Tennessee today. After
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton, the vote was unanimous. So it will become
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the Dolly Parton International Airport. Very unusual. No matter how
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: big a star you are, it's very unusual to have
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: an airport named after you. There's a Bob Hope Airport
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: in California. Liverpool has a John Lennon Airport. But a
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: lot of politicians, of course, there's a George Bush Airport
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: in Houston. Gerald Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Little Rock,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: it's the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. Now, I
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: can understand the Bill Clinton National Airport. How does Hillary
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: get her name in there? I guess they're a little
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: afraid of her down there. So, of course, there's Kennedy Airport.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: There's Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield. There's Reagan Airport. Now,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: there's a Donald J. Trump International Airport in Palm Beach,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: the Palm Beach Airport, wonderful airport easiest one to get
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: in and out of is now the president donald j
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: trump international airport forcing i'm not kidding about this forcing
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of left-wingers to not fly there even if
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: they live there instead going to the fort lauderdale airport
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: even the miami airport just because they don't want to
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: go through the donald trump airport uh i'm trying to
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: look at the list here she's a lot of airports
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: that shouldn't be named after in vermont there's a patrick
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: lahey International Airport. He was the dirtiest, sleaziest senator. Same
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: thing in Las Vegas. You got the Harry Reid International Airport.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Such a dirty, sleazy guy. I'm looking at all these names. Now,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot of celebrity names. So highly unusual.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: As I said, there's a Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: That's very unusual. John Glenn Airport. But just show business celebrities,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that's the tiniest list in the world. Anyway, let's take
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: some calls. Let's go to Charles in Miller Place. Charles,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Hi, Mark.
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: How are you?
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Good. Good.
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: I was at the St. James Theater yesterday and I
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: saw a Titanic. And they put in a derogatory line
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: about the $ 5, 000 check from Donald Trump in the play.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Now, you're talking about the show. It's Titanic. But what
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: do they call it?
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: Titanic?
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: Titanic.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Titanic.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: It's funny. It's very funny.
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: Jim Parsons is in it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: He's hard to watch.
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: He's like watching someone on the spectrum dance around the stage,
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: but he was very funny.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, that's okay. They do that in Broadway.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: They're all left-wing. The Broadway crowd from the people on
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: stage to the producers, they're very, very, very left-wing. They
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: all have Trump derangement syndrome. They don't realize when they
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: put this stuff in the show, 96% of the Broadway
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: crowd are from out of town, You know, they're from
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the heartland. They're from the Midwest. They're not into this
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome. So it kind of annoys the crowd.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: But they don't care. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Another point about the president's promise of a $ 5, 000 dividend,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: as he puts it. is I know the Kristen Welkers
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and that ilk never call out any of the people
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: advocating for reparations. They never have Kathy Hochul or Gavin
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Newsom on, you know, questioning them. How are you going
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to pay for it? Not to mention that trillions have
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: been spent basically since the LBJ Great Society on, you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: what anybody else would call reparations.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Kristen Welker, totally corrupt. Sunday shows, totally corrupt. Yeah, it's
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: like Obama with his... Not the phones, but Biden with
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the student loans.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Obama phone.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: But not one of these hosts ever said to Biden,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: how do you have any authority to forgive a student loan?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: How on earth can you? Nobody questioned him on it. Exactly.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Or free health care. You know, Obamacare is free health
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: care for everybody, even though people still are uninsured, nevertheless.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, did he notice that Art Garfunkel said
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he's going to leave the country?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't know he was still in the country. That's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the problem. I didn't know the guy was still alive,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: but okay. Yeah, we'll get to that coming up. Art Garfunkel.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Don't get upset, everybody. Art Garfunkel is leaving the country.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: The more forgotten they are, the more strident they are
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: about leaving. It's incredible.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty funny story. We'll get to that coming up.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: But thanks for calling, Mike. Let's go to Mike in Brooklyn. Mike,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Mark.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: Good, Mark.
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: Did you see on Friday at the Yankees-Mets game some
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: lunatic ran out with a free Palestine flag at exactly 9-11?
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: How do you stop these people, Mark?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, you've always had that. There's always people running
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: out in the field in the game with some banner,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: some crazy thing, some whatever. It always happens. It's nothing new.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: This time it was a Palestinian flag, but it would
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: have been a Black Lives Matter flag. They're always running
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: on the field. They always get tackled. carried away. They're
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: very careful not to show it on TV, not to
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: give any publicity to the person. However, the next day,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the picture's everywhere, so what's the difference? The greatest one,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: remember years ago, a protester jumped on the field, grabbed
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the American flag. He was going to do something with
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the American flag. And remember, who was the great Los
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Angeles Dodger who tackled him as he was running? Rick Monday.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: He was running around the field. The security was Trying
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to get there, but Rick Mundy just threw the guy
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: to the ground. It always happens. Let's go to Rich
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: Hey, thanks, Mark.
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: Hot down here, 100 degrees already.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Good, you deserve it. What the hell are you leaving
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: New York for, going to Myrtle Beach?
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: Well, because of the lunatics, you know, the lunatics running
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: the asylum, Chuck Schumer, AOC, I mean, you know, Cuomo.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: I got out of there in 2014.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: It was already.
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: If Blakeman doesn't win this year, and I'm getting off
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: my point, but if Blakeman doesn't win this year, you
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: will never see a Republican governor in that state again.
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: It'll be California.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: It is lost.
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: But you're speaking about annoying crowds. I hope everybody's going
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: to tune in for the Emmys tonight. You talk about
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: an annoying crowd, you got the Emmys on tonight, you know?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody has seen the Emmy Awards in
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: 10 years. Nobody even knows it's on. Nobody.
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: And by the way, Mark, gas has hit $ 4 in
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: Myrtle Beach, which is killing this tourist town here. It's
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: got to start going down or we're going to lose
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: the midterms.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: No, it may not affect the midterms. But if that
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: were the case, you wouldn't see Democrats trying to gin
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: up the AI issue for the midterms. But yeah, the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Emmy Awards, you see, years ago, we all watched the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: same show. So you Look at the Emmy Awards and
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: nominated are Seinfeld, Cheers, Roseanne. We all knew these shows. Now,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: nobody knows what these shows are because everybody watches a
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: different show. Some people, they all tell you, have you
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: seen Tuesday Vacation?
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: No.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: What's that? Oh, you don't want to watch it. It's
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: on Paramount or they tell you about another show. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: this is on Netflix. This is on that. Nobody's watching
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the same show. Well, watch the Emmys tonight. You won't
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: know 90% of the shows. Let's go to Vince, Fort Pierce, Florida. Vince,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning, Mark.
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: Last night was the Giants season opener.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Pretty good, wasn't it? I'm sure you remember.
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: Excellent.
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: But the Giants quarterback, Jackson Dart, was a rookie, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: last spring he introduced Donald Trump.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: And the world had an explosion. His teammate, Abdul Carter,
• 31:40
  Speaker 13: went public and made some nasty comments, and it's It
• 31:43
  Speaker 13: caused a lot of controversy, and they were all saying, oh,
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: this kid's not going to do well. He's hurting his game. Well,
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: he had an excellent game. He threw three touchdown passes,
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: ran for 50 yards. On the other hand, Abdul Carter had,
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: I think, maybe one or two tackles, didn't do anything.
• 31:58
  Speaker 13: So I'm recommending Abdul Carter go to the next Trump
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: rally to help improve his game because it worked for
• 32:04
  Speaker 13: Jackson Dart.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: All right, and don't hold your breath on that. But, yeah,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Football players, just play football. We don't
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: need your opinion on anything political. Same thing for Art Garfunkel.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: We'll get to him coming up. He's just the silliest
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: guy in the world. So a lot to get to.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Don't forget the show is three hours every day now,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: nine to noon. Well, it's the second hour, by the way.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: If you just joined us, you missed the first hour. Remember,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: it's nine to noon, 9 a.m. to noon every day,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: three hours every day. Mark Simone here. A lot to
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: get to. Now, the governor's race, you got Kathy Hochul,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: who is driving everybody nuts, possibly. I was going to
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: say the worst governor ever. You got to still give
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: that title to Cuomo. Yeah, Hochul is awful. But remember,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: it was Cuomo that pushed this no bail, no jail
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: on us, creating the crime wave. Remember, it was Cuomo
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that started this whole thing about closing all the prisons
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and letting the prisoners out. Remember, it was Cuomo that
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: shut down Indian Point. which tripled our electric bills instantly.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: You know, Hochul's very bad, but you got to give
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Cuomo the award for worst governor ever. So Bruce Blakeman
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: started the race far behind, 25 points behind. Then next
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: thing you know, he's 15 points behind. Then the next
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: thing you know, he's 10 points behind. Now it looks
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: like he's somewhere around five points behind and catching up.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: But this was his pattern in Long Island. which has
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: the same Democratic makeup, Nassau County, as the state of
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: New York. And he came from behind and won, and
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: won big. So expect that to happen here. We'll talk
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: to him in the next hour. But the problem is money.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: You know, Kathy Hochul has raised $ 22 million, and she'll
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: get another $ 20 million from the DNC. It's a lot
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: of money to campaign with. Blakeman, I think he's up
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: to $ 12, $ 13, $ 14 million. So the problem is a
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: lot of the big donors, in fact all the big donors,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: would rather have Blakeman. You talk to any of the big,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: big donors in New York, they all would rather have Blakeman.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: But many of them are afraid to donate because they
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: do business here and they don't want to upset Kathy Hochul.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: It could affect their business. But some guys, they don't care.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Take James Dolan, who owns Madison Square Garden, the Knicks,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the Rangers, Radio City, all that. Dolan has put together
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: a super PAC with millions of dollars, and they've been
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: taking out ads everywhere denouncing Kathy Hochul. They're about to
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: launch billboards, huge billboards all over the city denouncing Hochul.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: So good for Dolan, doing a lot of good here.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: There's another super PAC with millions of dollars. They're going
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: to jump in and back Blakeman. So that's going to
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: help a lot. And just Blakeman on his own, great candidate.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: The race really starts now, after Labor Day. Once you
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: get through Labor Day, I don't know, there's a lot
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: of campaigning in the summer, but this is where it
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: really heats up. Hochul has agreed to one debate. Hopefully
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: she'll agree to more. Problem with that one debate, it's
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: on New York One, which is the most biased left-wing
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: channel in the world. The other problem is nobody sees
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: New York One. That's why Hochul chose it. But as
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: I say, Blakeman will be with us later. We'll see
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: if he can He's pushing for that second debate if
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: they think they can get it. Hey, the U.S. Open
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: is over. Yesterday was the last day, thank goodness. They'll
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: be leaving all these tennis players. Now, the next thing
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: to come, I guess it's September 18th to the, yes,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: next week. Actually, it starts, when's the 18th? I think
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: that's Friday, Saturday. And it goes for 10 days. This
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: is the U.N. General Assembly. That's where all the world
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: leaders come to New York. It is the biggest traffic
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: nightmare of the year. Not just around the UN. It's
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: a nightmare around there. But you remember these world leaders
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: stay at all the top hotels in New York. So
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: all over the place, tremendous security. A lot of them
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: stay at the Waldorf. Some of them stay at the Pierre,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the Four Seasons, the St. Regis. So you can see massive,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: massive gridlock everywhere. That's September 18th through the 28th. Netanyahu
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: coming to visit, of course, for the U.N. General Assembly.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: You remember Mamdani has threatened to arrest him. Now, he
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: has no authority to arrest Netanyahu. President Trump has said
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: absolutely not. Netanyahu will not. He said in no way,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: shape or form face arrest. President Trump and the federal
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: government will protect him the entire time he's here. Now,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: how could Mamdani arrest him? Well, he's claiming that because
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: he was convicted in the International Criminal Court, they've issued
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: an arrest warrant for him. Sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it?
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: The International Criminal Court. Well, it's not a real thing.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: It actually is. It's just a bunch of guys. They
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: call themselves the International Criminal Court. They have no legal
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: authority to do anything. The U.S. doesn't recognize them. Most
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: countries don't recognize them. It's just a bunch of left-wing
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: kooks in, where are they? Somewhere in the Netherlands. Somewhere
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: there's this international criminal court. It has absolutely no authority.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: It's not a real court. It doesn't mean anything. You
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: can't arrest somebody based on that. President Trump has made
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: that clear. Mamdani, when he campaigned, that was one of
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: his promises that he would arrest Netanyahu. When he was
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: first mayor, he doubled down on it. But even he's
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: quietly admitting he doesn't have any power to do this.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: And that's the good thing about Mamdani. As terrible as
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the guy is, luckily, he gets nothing done. You'll never
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: see free buses. He can't arrest Netanyahu. You'll never see
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: these grocery stores. They'll never actually get built. Nothing he
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: does will ever actually happen. So Lindsey Clancy looking for
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: a plea deal. the lawyer all over television trying to
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: scare the prosecutors not to recharge her. I don't think
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: that's going to work, but he keeps pushing for that.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: And this DA's office doesn't usually do plea deals, but
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: we'll see. There was that one lone juror who held out. Now,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of times this guy becomes, whoever the lone
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: juror is, becomes the villain because he screwed up the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: whole thing. But in this case, where he said he
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: had reasonable doubt, You can understand it. I understand the argument.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: She had psychological problems, the medication, something. But she did
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: strangle her three kids. She strangled and killed and choked
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: to death her three little children, including a baby. So
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: I could see where somebody is not going to let
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: that go. Somebody's going to convict. One juror held out. Now,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: you got this awful, evil Gayle King, who in real
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: life is one of the nastiest, awful women you could
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: ever meet, this Gayle King. And everything is race with her.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: So there was one juror that held out. And I
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: kept hearing. about this one lone juror. It never occurred
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: to me to ask, is it a man? Is it
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: a woman? I don't know. I just never, you know,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: I certainly never thought, oh, is it white or black?
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: But leave it up to Gayle King to ask. And
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: she got all upset at the answer. She's interviewing one
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: of the jurors who talked about the lone juror. And
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: then Gayle King. Oh, take a listen.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: One person of color was a person of color, a
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: woman or a man?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: A man.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: A man.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Is a holdout juror a person, a black man?
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 40:00
  Speaker 14: A black man is a holdout juror?
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, I have to sit with.
• 40:06
  Speaker 15: That for just a second.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: First time you ever heard Gayle King speechless. He's black?
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: I have to sit with that for a moment. What
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: do you have to sit with? What's the difference? Who
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: cares what color he is? Sounds like a reasonable guy
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: who said, I can't acquit somebody who just murdered and
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: choked to death and strangled their three children. I can't
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: acquit on them. There's no racial component to this in
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: any way. How the hell does she? But as I say,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: if you ever spend any time with Gayle King, she's
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: the nastiest, most awful, awful woman you could ever run into.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: In real life. Hey, Celine Dion made her big comeback.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: She hasn't performed in years. She has terrible medical problems.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Looks like she's overcome them. She had this awful disease.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: She's been fighting it. I guess she's better. She's been
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: going to therapy for some time. And she was going
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: to come back, make her comeback. And she did it
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: in Paris, France. A residency, you know how Billy Joel
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: did Madison Square Garden, you know, that residency. She's going
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: to do the same thing at the Plenitude Arena in Paris. Actually,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: it's right outside Paris. It's in the western suburbs. She's
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: going to do a 26-show residency. Now, this is a
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: big arena. It holds about 35,000 people. I hear they're
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: squeezing in about 40,000 for her. So to sell 26
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: shows out of that, that's pretty amazing. A lot of
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: people went over there, flew over to Paris. If you
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: follow certain people on social media, there's Susan Lucci, there's
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Joan London, there's Sarah Lee, what's her name? They're all
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: over there for the big opening night. It was quite
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: an opening night. It was quite dramatic. This arena, again,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's actually right now the largest indoor arena
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: in Europe. Bigger than the Olympic Stadium in Moscow. In fact,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: they hosted some of the 2024 Summer Olympics in this arena.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: But Celine Dion came out. Obviously, standing ovation that went
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: for 10 minutes. And then she was very dramatic. She
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: said she didn't want to cry.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: I made a promise.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: I made a promise to come back and to be
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: back on stage.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: So here I am.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she did cry. But I won't stop. And
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I guess this was the big hit of the night.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: This song was very dramatic. You remember the song All
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: By Myself? 1976, I think. Eric Carman. He used to
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: be with the Raspberries. It was this big, big solo hit.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: But she does it now. And it was the high
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: point of the concert. All by myself.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Anymore.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to read how she did. Oh, she
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: did a two hour show. It was amazing. We had
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: 90 minutes of it was applause, standing ovation. So she
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: really didn't have to actually sing that much, but good
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: for her. She's back and it's a great thing. So
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: she'll do all these shows over there. Then eventually she'll
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: be here. I would imagine it's Madison Square Garden when
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: she gets to New York. So, hey, summer, you got
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: eight days left of summer, eight days left. Terrible flooding
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. really bad in Fairfield County, Stanford, Darien, Westport,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: tremendous flooding. Cars had to be rescued. It was just,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: just awful. Uh, the iPhone, well, uh, it's selling like crazy.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: The new iPhone pro, uh, the 18, the 18 is
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: the big seller. The 18 pro max selling like crazy.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: The orders are unbelievable. If you were, uh, uh, Ordering
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: like the first day, Saturday was the first day you
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: could order. You'll get it like in a week or two.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: If you try to order now, it's middle of October,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: maybe late October. They're so backed up on orders. The
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: foldable phone, eh, not doing so well. Most reviewers who
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: got the foldable phone, where you unfold it and it's
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: a bigger screen, basically said it's great for a while.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: The novelty wears off. Some people need it. If you really...
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: need a bigger screen you just get the iPad mini
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: it's the same size as the foldable and it's actually
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: better it works better I don't need to unfold a
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: phone and have it be bigger just the only good
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: explanation I've heard is some people if they need in
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: their business they use big charts or diagrams or spreadsheets
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: or whatever they need that big screen but outside of
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: that you really don't now a lot of reviewers are
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: saying if you have the 17 the iPhone 17 the
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: current one You don't really need to upgrade unless you
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: want a much better camera. The camera is better if
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: you need more storage, if you need more speed. Well,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: then upgrade. But for normal use, the 17 is pretty close.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: One big difference with the 18, much longer battery. The
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: battery could go 35, 40 hours. It could go almost
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: a day and a half. So if you care about
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: battery life, if your battery is always running out, get
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: the 18. Much better. Hey, we were talking about this before.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: celebrities leaving the United States. It's always a celebrity nobody
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: cares about. You remember that Rosie O'Donnell left the United
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: States for many, many months. Anybody notice? No. Did it
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: affect anybody?
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: No.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: It's always somebody out of work who's not doing anything.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: So the latest celebrity to leave is Art Garfunkel. That's right.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: He's still alive. Art Garfunkel. He's actually 84. He told
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: the British publication, The Guardian, that he is Because of
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: the country's stance on key issues, he's looking for another
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: country to move to. Garfunkel expressed concern about climate change. Remember,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: this guy's a singer who's probably been stoned half his life,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: but he's concerned about climate change. You see, you know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: you might be saying, well, there's climate change. Who do
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: they think they're kidding with this climate change? A guy
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: like Art Garfunkel is very concerned about climate change. So
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: he'll go to another country where I guess he thinks
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: they don't have climate change. Who knows with him? He's
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: concerned about international affairs and other political issues. You see,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: you always get these guys, Garfunkel, IQ of 90, maybe.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: It's a good singer. Good singer. Uh, he said the
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: planet is getting warmer. The water is rising. We've been
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: hearing this for 30 years. The water hasn't done anything.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: It's basically the same. In fact, uh, you check any weather,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: whatever weather we have, we have the same exact weather
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: at a million other points in history. And he said,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: so many people are starving. What does that have to
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: do with politics? And why now? Why does he leave
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: me now? He said, now listen to this. When Donald
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Trump took over Venezuela, I said to myself, are these
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: the new rules? Just take over a country and run it? Well,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: apparently he's not familiar with how that all came about.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: That was not what happened at all. Not what happened
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: at all. But he's leaving. I know many people are upset.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: What are we going to do without Art Garfunkel? Does
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: he even do anything anymore? Has he even performed in years?
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Did anybody know he was still alive? You know, see,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: the other problem he has, he used to be a
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: big star. You know, you could walk into a restaurant. Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Garfunkel. Now,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: when he walks into a restaurant, the maitre d' is
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: always 30 years old and doesn't know who the hell
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: he is. And even if you told him, he wouldn't
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: know who the hell he is. It's His hits were
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: like 25 years before they were born. Anyway, we'll take
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. We'll take some
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: calls next. We always love to hear from new callers.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here on 710WOR. Hey, let's take some calls.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: 800-321-0710.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: 0-7-10.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Pam in New Jersey. Pam, how you doing?
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got another airport, John Wayne Airport.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're right.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: You're right. Airports named for celebrities. Very few. There's a
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: John Lennon Airport, a Bob Hope Airport, a John Wayne Airport. Absolutely.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Very good. Yeah, thanks for that. I forgot. As we
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: mentioned before, they have now voted unanimously to name the
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Nashville Airport after Dolly Parton. A lot of airports named
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: after presidents and senators and politicians. Very few after celebrities.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara, how are you doing?
• 49:21
  Speaker 16: So good. Thank you, God. Mark, I'm curious to know,
• 49:25
  Speaker 16: these women jurors and the ladies in the pink jackets
• 49:29
  Speaker 16: showing all this compassion for Lindsay, who her lawyer calls
• 49:34
  Speaker 16: a wonderful mother. I would love to know if they
• 49:37
  Speaker 16: would let her babysit.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I don't think so. Very good point. Yeah.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: This lawyer deserves a lot of credit for being able
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: to get this stuff out of his mouth with a
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: straight face. He said, I know Lindsay. She's like a daughter.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: She's a wonderful mother, except for the choking her kids
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: to death. She's a wonderful mother. But, uh, this guy,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: this lawyer is 75 years old end of his career. Uh,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have a good track record. He hasn't won
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of big cases. He, uh, He needs some
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: good note to go out on, and this will be it.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Manhattan. John, how are you doing?
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: Who's you?
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Hello, John.
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: Who's you, Mark?
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: John, what happened? You fall down a well? We can
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: hardly hear you.
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: No, I'm not in the well. I'm here in Manhattan.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: You sound like you're 20 feet from the phone.
• 50:31
  Speaker 13: Well, it's a speakerphone.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a... Millions of, several million people are listening.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: How many people have to be listening before you'll actually
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: pick up the phone and walk into it?
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: One.
• 50:42
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: I have the invitation.
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: Ziggy.
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: You know Ziggy, right?
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Well, wait. If you're going to get that far away,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: hang on.
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: Let me get that far away from the microphone.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: I'll go far away, too. How's that?
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: I have the invitation.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: To what?
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: Her name was requested to be deleted by DJ Keith.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Ah, there you go. Anybody know what the hell she's
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: talking about? Where's that Google translator?
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: Huh?
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: Why would.
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: I don't want to call him the president, but DJT
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: requested you to be deleted.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: All right, let's try to translate this.
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: DJT is Donald Trump.
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think you better hang up the phone. You
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: better hang up before the attendants catch you making this call.
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: So.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: I've got to get an unlisted number. Hey, what happened?
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: There's no calls.
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: 800.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: What's the number? 800-321-0710. Call us. 800-321-0710. Hey, we were
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: talking about Apple before and their new products, the foldable phone.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: They're getting attacked by, especially Samsung has taken out ads
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: against them, saying, well, they've just taken our left. They're
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: warming over our leftovers. They're copying us. And I see
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: some people picking up on that. Look at Apple. They're
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: copying Samsung with the foldable phone. Just to correct the record,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Apple always, always waits for other companies to come out
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: with stuff, new technologies, new products, before they do it.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: They always let somebody else do it first. And then
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: they come along and do it much better. So, for instance,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: the iPhone was not the first smartphone. There was the
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Palm Trio. There were a bunch of smartphones. And Apple
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: watches these companies with their smartphones. And then they just
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: come out and make the ultimate one. And iPad was
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: not the first tablet. Remember, Vision Pro made the... Well,
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: iPad was... There were plenty of tablets. Apple watches that.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Then they come out with the best tablet of all.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Same thing with the Vision Pro. That was not the
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: first mixed reality headset. And the list goes on and on.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Every product they made, they let somebody else make it first.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: And then they perfected. Let's go to Tim in Hartsdale. Tim,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: Hi, how are you doing?
• 53:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I was called with another celebrity airport.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 53:13
  Speaker 12: Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Of course, you're right. Absolutely. Louis Armstrong was from New Orleans. Yeah, Pops.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Lived in Queens while he was a big star. But, yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: you're right. Absolutely. Okay, thanks. That's a good one. Yes,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: celebrity airports, very few. John Lennon Airport, Liverpool. John Wayne Airport,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Orange County. Bob Hope Airport, Burbank. There'll now be a
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton Airport, Nashville, Tennessee. Let's go to Eric in
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Eric, how you doing?
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Good show, as always.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: Listen, as far as the phones go, I mean, I've
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: always had an Android phone. I just purchased one a
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: month ago. The Samsung Z Folding 8 is fantastic.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: And you can see it in the daylight.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: You can see it in the daylight, not like the
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: other phones I had. And I'm 74, and I'm still
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: figuring this thing out. So many things. So my daughter
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: helped me set it up. But, you know, I'm tech savvy,
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: but I love it. I love it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: But Android's a good phone. But when you pick up
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: an iPhone and hold it, don't you feel the difference?
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Hardware is better.
• 54:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's tiny.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the hardware is better.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: This opens up to like a 4x4, almost like a
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: mini tablet also.
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: Or just a standard. It's a good phone for a price.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Now that's a good point. Yeah, if you're older and
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: you need the letters bigger, the tablet, the foldable phone,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: much better for you. Let's go to Greg Long Island. Greg,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark.
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: Wanted to talk real quick about Tiger Woods case.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: I'm concerned about the idea that he can get better
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: by going off into anonymity in a hidden place and
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: get better and come back. And the judge thinks he's
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: doing his job. What Tiger really needs, if I may say,
• 55:02
  Speaker 7: having done this myself as a judge is to put
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: Tiger in and people of similar cases, in what's known
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: as a drug court, where they have a team assigned
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: to them, a probation officer, a drug counselor, and they
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: report back to the court in person every couple of weeks.
• 55:22
  Speaker 7: And the judge makes a determination of whether the sentence
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: should be imposed or held further in abeyance until he
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: makes further improvement. That would incentivize him to succeed because
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: he's on the path where 85% or more of the
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: people who do it his way and the way that
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: this judge is doing it have relapses. They fall apart.
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: It's a path to oblivion, the way they're doing it
• 55:50
  Speaker 7: and the way most drug treatment is done.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense. It's a very good idea.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: You were a judge. That makes a lot of sense.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: But remember, this is Florida where things are a little screwy,
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: especially in their courts. And Tiger's a powerful guy and
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: can maneuver around. Where are you in Long Island?
• 56:06
  Speaker 7: I'm on North Fork out in Jamesport.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Whoa, you're way out there. Very good.
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: Great places to eat, by the way. Cliff's Rendezvous.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of.
• 56:19
  Speaker 7: Other places that I think if you get out here,
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: you'd love it. It's where God's country is still holding on.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: I know, but it's so far away. You go to
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Nassau County, you've got a million great places to eat.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Why do I need to go all the way out
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: to Cliff's Rendezvous?
• 56:34
  Speaker 7: Because you have a beautiful Long Island Sound a couple
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: of miles one side and a beautiful Peconic Bay estuary
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: system on the other side.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, right. But you go to Oyster Bay, you've got
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: a beautiful Long Island Sound right there.
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but do you have farm country? We're one of
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: the leading farming counties still in the state, and we've
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: got a lot of that farming preserved for good. in
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: the Development Rights Program right on the north and south forks.
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: South Fork is different.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: I understand.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: You should be on the Chamber of Commerce. You're a
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: good salesman for that. All right, great call, Greg. Thanks
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: for calling. I don't want any farm country, do I? No,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Oh, when we come back, we'll
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: talk to the greatest columnist in America, Michael Goodwin. He'll
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: be with us next.
• 57:22
  Speaker 17: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Live from the WOR LifeVac Studios. Well, the best columnist
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: in America, without question, Michael Goodwin in the New York
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Post every Sunday, every Wednesday. All of his columns are
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin, how
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: you doing? Do we have him there? Michael Goodwin? Yes.
• 57:51
  Speaker 12: Oh, now we can hear you.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Now we got you. So great column. So the left
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: is now weaponizing 9-11. Is that really the case?
• 58:02
  Speaker 12: It's pretty remarkable when you think about it. But the
• 58:07
  Speaker 12: New York Times, of course, is very resourceful in pushing
• 58:12
  Speaker 12: its agenda. And in this case, it argues that there
• 58:16
  Speaker 12: is a wave of Islamophobia in New York City right now.
• 58:22
  Speaker 12: Did you know that, Mark?
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 58:25
  Speaker 12: And apparently it's just as bad now, even though we
• 58:29
  Speaker 12: have a Muslim mayor, the first in history, is just
• 58:33
  Speaker 12: as bad now as it was after 9-11. And surely
• 58:37
  Speaker 12: you remember how New Yorkers marauded through Muslim neighborhoods, killing
• 58:43
  Speaker 12: and burning. You remember that, right? That same Islamophobia hatred
• 58:51
  Speaker 12: is now going on in New York City, according to
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: the New York Times. It did not have any statistics
• 58:59
  Speaker 12: to back that up. But it had the feelings of
• 59:03
  Speaker 12: Muslims who felt scared. And then, it was almost, it
• 59:10
  Speaker 12: was such a pathetic story. The next day, the Times
• 59:16
  Speaker 12: wrote how incidents, anti-Semitic incidents against Jewish New Yorkers are soaring,
• 59:25
  Speaker 12: and all kinds of statistics.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:28
  Speaker 12: Without a mention of the Islamophobia. As I say in
• 59:33
  Speaker 12: the column, it's like somebody at the time who woke up,
• 59:36
  Speaker 12: the Friday article, woke up Saturday morning and said, this
• 59:41
  Speaker 12: is ridiculous, this is crazy. We have to do a better,
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: we have to, the real problem is that Jews are
• 59:48
  Speaker 12: being attacked, that synagogues have to hire extra security. There's
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: no mention anywhere in the second story a mosque or Islamophobia.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: It's almost like they have two different views of what's happening.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: And the second view was closer to accurate. But I
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 12: wonder who's really running this place if they think 9-11
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 12: is a good day to run a false story about
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 12: Islamophobia sweeping New York. I mean, what's going on there?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 12: Who's You know, is it the gremlins who have gotten
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 12: to the keyboard and it's a moment of a raid
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 12: on the computer system? Or are they just a bunch
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 12: of lousy reporters who.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: Hate New York?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Well, in their defense, they do run fake stories all
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: year long. It's not just 9-11. They're always writing fake stories. But, hey,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: you used to work there. It's true that.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 12: They discovered genocide in Gaza, right? So they're very good
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 12: at finding things that don't exist. Not so good on
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 12: the truth. I did work there, Mark, and it was
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 12: a great experience in my life. I met many people.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 12: I held up the standards of journalism. I learned a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 12: lot from them. Unfortunately, the New York Times is not
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: the same place. is now run by advocates, by leftists.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 12: And the reporters, through their union, have exercised control over
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 12: what gets published, what's in the news, who's running the newsroom.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 12: And if you don't agree with their mob mentality, which
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 12: is anti-white and anti-Jewish, it's progressives all the way. then,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: of course, you are sick, you're no good, and you
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 12: shouldn't work there.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the problem is, as you say, back then,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: the New York Times was the finest newspaper. It's not anymore, obviously,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: but most people don't follow this that closely. And, you know,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: for people that aren't following the news, they still look
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: at the New York Times as if it's some sort
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: of prestigious, great newspaper. They don't know that it's a
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: whole different paper. Maybe it should be Federal Trade Commission.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: You have to, like, relabel it or something. Yeah.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, it is a remarkably successful business. And if
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 12: you ever take a few minutes and go online and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 12: read their comments from readers, it's extraordinary how the readers
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 12: are often complaining that the paper isn't progressive enough. So
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 12: they have the most progressive readers in the world, apparently.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 12: who want even more, who hate Donald Trump even more
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 12: than the New York Times does. So it's a very
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: strange situation. And the editors seem either uncaring about it
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: or their power is deficit because it just marches on.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, wasn't there a time when the New York
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Times was dying and they needed a bailout from the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim? Yes, they had to borrow. Yeah,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: they got this Trump thing going and they saw that
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: it was an incredible business model. The money just came
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: flowing in. They're up to like 5 million readers. So
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: is that why they do it? It's just profiteering off
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Trump hatred?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: I think, Mark, that's a very large part of the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: reason because it's not journalism. It's an agenda.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: It's a narrative.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 12: As I say in the column, when they have a
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 12: narrative they're trying to sell, They stack the deck. They
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: don't report it fairly. There's nobody ever quoted who says
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 12: you're wrong. If you just look at the headlines, somebody's
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 12: always concerned. Who's concerned?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Who's worried?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 6: Who's nervous?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 12: It's always the left. The left is nervous that the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 12: economy is too strong. It's overheating, right? It's that kind
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 12: of stuff. And it just now seems to be an
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 12: unbreakable power within the newsroom. And it's apparently making enough
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 12: money that there's no way to assail the content of
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: the paper because as a business, unfortunately, it is succeeding.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's terrible. But, hey, Mayor Mamdani is with AOC
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: at the 9-11 ceremony. They're caught laughing there. What was
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: that all about?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's very, very poor taste. And I think they
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 12: should have been smarter to realize if they had a
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 12: joke to share, they should have held off. But that
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 12: was a very ugly moment. And I'm sure that they
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: would say, oh, you know, blah, blah, blah. But nonetheless,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: it looked terrible. And you have to be smarter than that.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 12: You know, the cameras are there. You know, the eyes
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 12: of the world are there. And so even a 10-second
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 12: break to do that, it's almost like a giggle on
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: both sides. It looked horrible.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I still think it was deliberate, though. You know,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: whenever he has to do something right, Mamdani always sends
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: a signal to his base that, don't worry, I don't
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: really believe this. You know, like handing the pen to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: the terrorist lawyer or laughing at the 9-11 ceremony. You
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: notice he hasn't tried to explain it or apologize. He's
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: letting it stand.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 6: Look, I.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: And I agree with you, General Mark, about him, that
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 12: he's always talking to his base. Anytime he gives a speech,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 12: it's never about reaching those who don't agree with him.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 12: It's about comforting the base. And I think that's his
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 12: one concern, is as long as he has that base intact,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 12: He'll have support for enough of his initiatives and for
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: his place as the mayor, as a strong political figure.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: That gives him credibility in his world. If he starts
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: to talk to people who don't like him, even though
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 12: it's better for New York, then he loses the base.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: I think that's his calculation.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Michael Goodwin, great column. Everybody go read Michael Goodwin's
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: column from yesterday. It's up on the New York Post website,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: and you can read him every Sunday and Wednesday in
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: the New York Post. Michael Goodwin, thanks for being with us.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 12: My pleasure. Thank you, Mark.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Take care. Hey, don't forget I'm here three hours every day.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: It's now 9 to noon every day, 9 a.m. to
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: noon every weekday. Well, hey, it's the final hour, three
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: hours every day now, 9 to noon. Let's see if
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: President Trump has finally responded to Lindsay Clancy's lawyer. You
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: remember the lawyer asked President Trump to pardon her. He
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: asked for a presidential pardon. The lawyer, who's kind of
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: a bumbling old lawyer, he hasn't had a very good
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: track record. Somehow he stumbled into this case and he
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: got lucky here. He pulled it off so far. But
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: President Trump explaining to the lawyer that that he has
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: no power to pardon her. It's a state case. It's
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: a local case. The president can pardon on federal cases
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: and federal charges, but it's a local criminal case and
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have the power to pardon it. You would
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: think a lawyer wouldn't need that explained to him, but
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: apparently this guy does. Hey, good for Ed Sheeran. He's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: been on tour, stadiums, big stadiums all over the world.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: Macklemore was on the tour. Macklemore, going into these ugly, disgusting,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: anti-Israel rants. Many venues refusing to allow him to perform.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: So Ed Sheeran has thrown him off the tour. He's out.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: But I don't know how much of it was Ed
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: Sheeran and how much of it was the venues saying
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: we're not going to allow him to perform. So good news, though,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: is he's gone off the tour. That's important. The Emmy
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Awards are tonight. I don't know anybody who actually cares.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know anybody who actually still watches the Emmy Awards.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: It'll be on NBC at 8 o'clock. I don't know
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: if anybody pays any attention to it anymore. Usually you
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: try to get a comedian to host, keep it lively,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: keep it fun, keep it... But I don't think any
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: comedian wants to host the Emmy Awards, so it's going
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: to be Marissa hagerty who is on law and order
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: for a hundred years and looks at um but uh
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: the problem is you used to get the biggest star
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: you know johnny carson would host the emmys or you
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: know bob hope would do the oscars these were enormous
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: superstars that everybody knew but there's no such thing anymore
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: no such thing anymore mr hargaday when she walks out
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: on stage uh it's going to be mostly older people
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: watching but it was a audience like nobody under 30,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: 40 would know who she is. And nobody watches all
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: these different shows. There's too many shows. There's thousands and
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of shows. It's not like the 1980s
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: or even the 90s where everybody saw Seinfeld and the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: next day you could all talk about it. Or everybody
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: saw Cheers. We all knew who Norm and Cliff were.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Or everybody back then saw Law & Order. And you
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: knew who Jerry Orbach was. Today, it's all splintered. There's
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: 400 shows currently streaming. I don't care who you talk to,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: whatever show they're watching, you never heard of. When you
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: tell them about your show, they never heard of it.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: So it's tough to do the Emmys tonight. Very tough
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: to watch. Tune in for a second. But you won't
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: know what's going on. Hey, remember we told you Hunter
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Biden came out with this crypto... This crypto coin, it
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: was a money-making scheme. I guess nobody's buying the paintings anymore.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: And people invested like crazy and lost a fortune. Four
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: out of five investors got wiped out by his crypto.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Some mystery trader got in at just the right second
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: and got out at just the right second and got
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: a million bucks. But outside of that, everybody lost everything,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: got wiped out. The name of the coin is Laptop.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: This guy's got a lot of nerve. You got to
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: give him that laptop. He might as well have called
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: the coin drug addict, crack addict. Anyway, he's trying to
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: explain what happened. He said the issue became, he said
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: it was a F-up. He used the actual F word.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Biden claimed the issue began shortly after trading started on
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: Wednesday because the project's market maker supplied significantly less liquidity
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: than needed to handle the initial demand. Yeah, in other words,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: it's Hunter Biden. Whoever made that million real fast, probably
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: somebody connected with him. It was all a scheme. It
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: bombed completely. That's the end of it. Hey, if you
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: live in Long Island, I'm sure you know Ohika Castle.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Ohika Castle was built by Gus Kahn, and it's like
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: a great Gatsby castle. where is that exactly? Is that Woodbury?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's Woodbury. And it's been there for a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: hundred years and it's got incredible grounds. It's a big castle.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: It's kind of run down. The guy that owns it's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: a sort of a shabby guy who let it, it's
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: a little run down, but it's still a big, they've
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: got a restaurant there, but it's a big venue for weddings,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: for all sorts of stuff. They've got hotel rooms there too.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: Anthony Well, there were a lot of famous weddings there.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: A number of celebrities, a lot of parties there. It's
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: up for auction. The owner is in bankruptcy. He said
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: the debt's too heavy. He can't carry it. So if
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: you want, Oheka Castle. Concierge Auctions will be auctioning it
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: off October 27th. The auction will be in person or
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: virtually in New York City. The owner says he owes
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: about $ 60 million. an investment to the investment firm Takana
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Capital hands it. So if you like Oheka Castle, it's
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: going to be auctioned off October 27th. We've got a
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: lot of wealthy listeners here. A lot of wealthy listeners.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: If you want to buy it, it's up for auction.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: So take a look at it. Now, the price of
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: oil is spiking. It was pretty good throughout this Iran conflict.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: And it would go up a little. Not much, but
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: now it's spiking. It's $ 103 a gallon. That's spiking. That's high.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: That's the WTI, which is what we use. America uses WTI.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: That's West Texas oil. The world, a lot of the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: rest of the world uses Brent crude. That is now $ 108.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: So this is very, very high. You're going to see
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: the price of oil go up in the next week
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: or two. Not good for the president. But when this
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: is over, it'll come crashing down. Same thing happened during
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: the Iraq war. It went up this high. And then
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: when it was over, it came crashing down to like
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: $ 42 a gallon, which is incredibly low. Hey, for our
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach listeners, we have a lot of listeners in
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach. Our caller, who we love, Rich from Myrtle Beach,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: kept complaining it's going to be 100 today. And he's
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: done that a few times. Many of them writing in
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: saying it's not 100. It's going to be 92 today.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: That's the high. It's never hit 100 all summer. Yeah,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Myrtle Beach weather. 92 today. Mid 80s.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: The rest of the week. So it's not that high. Hey,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Legionnaires disease outbreak in the Bronx and now an outbreak
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium. Although the Yankees say they've cleaned it up.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: They've got rid of the Legionnaires in the cooling tower.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: So they've eliminated that. That's a dangerous place for it
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: because it's airborne. And you got 50,000 people sitting right there.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: So far, no reports of any cases there. So that's good. Hey,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: the crazy New York Times, which is the most inaccurate
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: fake news, total fake news, they just make up crap.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: And then when they're not making up crap, they do
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: these totally biased pieces. So there's a 35-year-old guy. He's
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: like a vendor, a sidewalk vendor. He may be here illegally.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but... The New York Times went and
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: did a profile on him. He's 35. And it was
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: a gushing, flattering profile of this guy. And it's illegal
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: what he does on the street. It's like an illegal
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: street market. And he hawks stuff, sells off stuff. Illegal
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: vendor on the street, not licensed. And supposedly it's for Goodwill.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: It's for charity, sells clothes for charity. Stands right in
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: front of the Goodwill store. And the New York Times
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: did a wonderful glowing piece on what a saint this
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: guy is, what a wonderful guy this guy is. He's
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: part of a regular vending operation. It's a bunch of rogue,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: pretty much illegal, totally illegal, crooked vending operation. They actually
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: call it hoodwill because the truth is they con people.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Good Samaritans drop off clothes and shoes thinking it's going
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: to charity, going to goodwill. It's not. It's a whole
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: con operation. But the New York Times didn't say that.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: They made it sound like this is a wonderful guy.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: They promoted him. They urged people to go see him.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: They talked about him like he was just wonderful and
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: gushing all over the guy. Not only is it an
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: illegal operation and they don't give the money to charity,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: but it turns out the guy himself is a registered
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: high-risk sex offender with a long rap sheet. They forgot
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: to mention that in the story. Now, the New York
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: Times is conceding that they now realize he's a crook,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: he's a He's a sex offender. He's a criminal with
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: a past. So they're not apologizing, but they are confessing
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: to it a little. Bill Maher, good for him. He's
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: going after the media. You know, as Michael Goodwin was
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: talking about last hour, trying to weaponize 9-11, trying to
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: use it against Trump, trying to pretend there's all kinds
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: of anti-Muslim problems going on. They're not. If you look
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: at the... hate crimes and attacks. It's almost all against Jews,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: not Muslims. But Bill Maher, going after the media for
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: refusing to call the 9-11 attacks terrorism. I told you
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: last week, the Canadian broadcasting, the CBC, the big network
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: of Canada, ordered the people not to call it terrorism,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: to call it a plane hijacking, a hijacking that ended
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: in a plane crash. They're not allowed to say terrorism. Well,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: it turns out the BBC, pretty much the same thing.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: The BBC does not want to call it terrorism. According
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: to the BBC, it's a barrier to understanding. And as
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Mars says, it's a barrier to understanding lying. And good
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: for him going after the media who just refused to...
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine? They're always trying to rewrite history.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: But to rewrite 9-11, I mean, that's the one thing
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: you can't argue with. He's speaking to 9-11 at the
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: ceremony on Friday. Rudy Giuliani was seen shaking hands with Mamdani.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: Giuliani said, you know, people are moving along. And all
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, next thing you know, he's facing the guy.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: And Mamdani put his hand out to shake hands. And
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: Giuliani said, it was the right thing to do. You're
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: at the 9-11 ceremony. He can't get rude with anybody.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: So he said it was just the appropriate thing to do.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: So he shook his hand. But they were seen talking.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: What did he actually say to them? He said, I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: said to him, I said to Mamdani, I pray for
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: you all the time. And he said Mamdani responded by saying,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: thank you. But they got these body language people and
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: these lip readers who studied the video. And they said
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Giuliani's eyebrows are up. They go up in recognition and acknowledgement.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: But his frown grows the longer they shake hands. He
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: said you could see he wasn't happy about the connection. Hey,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Ilan Omar, Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: Mark Wayne Mullen said, it appears to them she did
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: marry her brother. She married her brother as part of
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: an alleged fraudulent immigration scheme and can face deportation. So
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: they're working on that. This brother now lives in London.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: Omar became a citizen in 2000. You know, she was
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: only 17 at the time. But they believe she did
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: indeed marry her brother. They will try to get her
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: out of the country based on that. And that should happen.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: The wheels of justice grind very, very slowly. So it
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: should happen at some point. So what's the toughest place
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: to buy a house right now? Like where the demand
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: is the greatest. Like if you wanted to move there,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: you'd have a lot of trouble finding a house. Toughest
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: place in America right now to find a house. Demand
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: is so great and the supply is running out. Where
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: is it? No, it's not Florida. It's the New York
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: City suburbs. The New York City suburbs, people are moving
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: out like crazy. And the number one is Long Island.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: Long Island homeowners, if you're trying to sell a home
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: right now, very easy. People are fleeing the city to
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: the suburbs, to Long Island. Long Island just got the most,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: crowned the single strongest seller's market anywhere in the country
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: right now, Nassau County especially. Biggest sellers, biggest demand. People
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: want to get out of the city, be near Manhattan.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: and Long Island, number one there. Hey, we'll take some
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. Give me a call,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: especially if you're a new caller. We like to hear
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: from new callers. Call me now, 800-321-0710 on 710WOR. Well,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's go
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: to Frank in South Carolina. Frank, how are you doing?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 12: I'm good.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 15: I just want to call and give you accolades on
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 15: the news that you broadcast, especially coming from your area.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 15: I'm surprised to hear it and happy to hear it.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 15: You guys are doing an excellent job, and I appreciate it.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: Why do you mean you're surprised? We've got plenty of
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: normal people here.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 15: Well, New York, from what I hear down here, New
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 15: York is not very.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Red state.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: No, but a lot of normal people. You ever been
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: to New York?
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 15: I never to the city. I went to Rochester once
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 15: a long, long, long time ago.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's not the same thing. Come up here one day.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Walk around.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 15: I've been in Greenville, South Carolina all my life.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, good for Colin. Thanks for a great call. Thanks, Frank.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Take care. Let's go to Chris in Long Island. Chris,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 12: Hi, Mark.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, Chris.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 12: Got another celebrity airport for you.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 12: I'll give you a clue. He was the president of
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 12: the United States and he was from Missouri.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not a celebrity. You mean Harry Truman?
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: But you mentioned.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a little different. As we said, a
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: lot of airports are named for presidents. And there's a
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of airports named for senators. And there's a
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: bunch of airports named for military people. But for a celebrity,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: a show business celebrity, to have an airport, very unusual.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: World's shortest list. They just voted in Tennessee to name
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: the airport after Dolly Parton. But it's a short list.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: John Lennon Airport, Liverpool. John Wayne Airport, Orange County, California.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: There's a Bob Hope Airport in California. There's a Louis
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Armstrong Airport in New Orleans. But that's about it. Be
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: a celebrity, have an airport named after you. Very short list.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Silk in Massachusetts. Silk, how are you doing?
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 8: Good. I enjoy listening to you. I know you have
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: Massachusetts connections.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 8: Forty years ago, a case that got no publicity, I
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 8: was appointed, paid $ 1, 000 to defend.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 8: A murder case involving a man who strangled his girlfriend.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: He was found not guilty by reason of insanity after testifying,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 8: had a wonderful judge, wonderful prosecutor, wonderful jury, and a
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 8: good defense attorney, me.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: That was you. Well, you did a good job. What
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: about since then? Have you been doing any more cases?
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 8: No, I'm 98 years old.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, God bless you.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: I'm still a member of the bar, but the case
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: got no publicity, and the newspapers, the media, didn't like
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 8: the result. Everybody is dead except me. He was released
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 8: after going from one state hospital to another And then
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 8: he was on the street. Three years later, he died
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 8: of a brain tumor.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 12: Oh, all right.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: Well, Silk, you did a great job. You sound like
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: it was an incredible case. Good job. Thanks for calling.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Will in Somerset. Will, how are you doing?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: Pretty good, Mark.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: So talk about airports with celebrity names.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: Santa Rosa, California, which is about 45 minutes north of
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: San Francisco, is named after Charles Schultz, the cartoonist.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Really? I didn't know that. All right, there's another one.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Charles Schultz. Charles Schultz got an airport? He got an
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: airport named after him? What the hell were those things?
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: In fact, if you go there, there's a couple of
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: bronze statues of peanut characters out in front of the building.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: All right. But the people of a certain age, younger people,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: must be landing there going, who the hell is Charles Schultz?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: He must be from there to get the airport named
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: after him.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 6: No, actually, I'm not.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: I was born in Staten Island.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Schultz must be from there.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: I have friends out there that I flew in there
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: a couple times.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Let's go to Lou, Union,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Lou, how are you doing?
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah, good morning, Mark. The girl who's hosting the Emmy tonight,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 12: wasn't her mother Jane Mansfield, she got killed in a
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 12: terrible car accident many years ago?
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely right. Marissa Hargitay, who's on Law & Order.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: Father was Mickey Hargitay, who was married to Jane Mansfield.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: I think it was him that was, he was the
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: one driving, and they were in a terrible car accident.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Jane Mansfield died very young. She got decapitated, I believe,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: in that car accident.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: So Marissa Hargitay, you know, if you watch the old
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: Law & Order reruns, she was pretty hot, that Marissa Hargitay.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: If you look at her now, a little different nowadays,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: but still going strong. She's on Law & Order. Anyway,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: let's go to Al in Yonkers. Al, how are you doing?
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: Good, Mark.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 14: Mark, I want to say if you agree, you know,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 14: in New York, when after 9-11, Mayor Giuliani could have
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 14: pushed the limit with term limits, but being an honorable
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 14: person that he is, he didn't. In Chicago, they don't
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 14: have term limits, and Mayor Brandon Johnson said he was
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 14: going to run again. And one of his predecessors, one
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 14: of the Daly sons, he served way too long. Don't
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 14: you believe Chicago should have term limits for mayor?
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think everybody should have term limits. You know,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: that was really Netanyahu's problem. You know, he's a great
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: leader and beloved, but then he became, they always say
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: when you get in your fourth term, you're always going
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: to get hated. It always happens. Ed Koch was a
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: great example. People loved him. But Koch said, once you
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: get into that third term, they start to turn on you.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: And your fourth term, they hate you. It's just too much. Yeah, no, Giuliani,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: I think he knew there was no way to get
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: a third term. It was impossible. Bloomberg was able to
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: pull it off because he was a billionaire with endless
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: money and resources, spent a fortune to get himself another term.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: But that was not easy to do. Let's go to
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 17: Good morning, Mark. Mark, thanks for bringing up the problem
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 17: of all these illegal street vendors. But even more importantly,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 17: over here in Bay Ridge on 4th Avenue and 36th Street,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 17: the subway line, which is a very big junction point.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 17: There's a lot of connections over there. I've seen this
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 17: woman there several times. she had a lot of fold-up
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 17: table to have the fold-up table actually a mexican woman
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 17: and she's selling pre-prepared food and drinks on the platform
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 17: and she's doing a booming business and when i saw
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 17: it she's unscathed. I've never seen a police officer go
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 17: over and question her, you know, ask her for her
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 17: food vendor's license. And more importantly, like when you buy
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 17: food off of a food truck, they have a Department of,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 17: a Board of Health inspection certificate. I'm saying to myself,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 17: who knows where this food was prepared and what filthy
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 17: rat and cockroach-infested kitchen or cellar. I remember years ago,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 17: they posted a whole expose about some food trucks. that
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 17: were coming in from Jersey and going to Times Square
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 17: on 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue. They were preparing the
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 17: food in these garages in Jersey.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: That's a very good point. You really got to be careful.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: Don't buy any food from any place like that. You're right.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: It's dangerous. Vincent, great call. We got to go do
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: the news because coming up next, Bruce Blakeman, the next
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: governor of New York, Bruce Blakeman. We'll talk to him.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: We'll get the latest on the race coming up on 710WOR. Well,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman should be the next governor of New York.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: He's been the county executive in Nassau County for years.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: That's a job that's pretty similar to governor. He's considered
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: the best county executive in America. Now, you can help him.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Donate. Volunteer. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Bruce Blakeman,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 6: We're doing great, Mark. Our campaign has really hit its stride.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: We've got a lot of momentum. We're in a statistical
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: dead heat now with Kathy Hochul. And I fully expect,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: with the help of all your listeners, that we will
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: be victorious on November 3rd and January 1st. You'll be
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: swearing in a new governor who cares about New Yorkers
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: and puts New Yorkers first, wants to make New Yorkers happy.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: We're the most overtaxed state in the United States. We
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: need to cut our taxes. I've got a plan to
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: do that. We need to cut our utility rates. Our
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 6: utility rates in New York State are 70% higher than
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 6: the national average. And Kathy Hochul is the most pro-criminal
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: governor in the United States of America with cashless bail
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: and everything else she does to make it easier for
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 6: criminals to prey on our community. So that ends on
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: January 1st. We will get out of our economic death spiral.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: We'll create great jobs. And we will have a New
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 6: York state where people are prosperous, safe, and healthy.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: And you did it in Nassau County. You probably saw
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: this survey that came out. The most moved-to destination in
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: America right now, hardest place to find a house so
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: many people are going there, is Nassau County right now.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty amazing.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: Listen, it's not rocket science. The bottom line is... If
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: you keep taxes low, I haven't raised taxes a penny
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: in four years. As a matter of fact, I cut
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 6: a $ 150 million tax increase on my predecessor. If you
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: make communities safer, I've hired over 700 new law enforcement professionals. U.S.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: News and World Report says we're the safest county in America.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 6: And if you create jobs and economic activity so people
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: have higher wages, more money in their pockets, So they
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 6: can spend money the way they want rather than have
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 6: government take their money and spend it the way they
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: don't want, like Kathy Hochul's been doing by spending billions
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 6: of dollars on people who aren't New Yorkers. It's not
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: hard to do. And I will do that when I
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 6: become governor. And people will be more prosperous. They will
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: live in safer communities. And they'll have lower taxes and
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: lower energy bills.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's not just saying it. He's done this. Now
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: you can help. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. She's agreed to
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: one debate, and it's on the very biased left-wing New
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: York One. But you think you'll be able to get
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: another debate.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Out of her?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 6: Absolutely not. I have accepted seven debates, and this is
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 6: the only one that she accepted. It's only an hour long,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: and it's on the most narrow media outlet of all
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: the invitations that we got. Kathy Hochul can't talk about
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: her record because it's a record of failure. I can
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: talk about my record because of the good things that
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: I've done to make my county so successful. But Kathy
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: Hochul has us in an economic death spiral. It's unaffordable
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: because of her and it's unsafe because of her. So
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: she doesn't want to defend her record. If she had
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 6: such a great record, she would accept every debate so
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: she could tout all the good things that she's done.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: But she can't do that because It's a record of misery.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: We need a governor that puts New Yorkers first and
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 6: makes New Yorkers happy.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: So these other offers, you mean like Channel 4, Channel 2,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff?
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 6: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox 5, and then some other smaller
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: media outlets. We've accepted all of their invitations. This is
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 6: the only one Kathy Hochul has agreed to do. And
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to it anyway. I think that people
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 6: will have an opportunity to see exactly what my record is,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: one of making people happy versus her record of making
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 6: people absolutely miserable.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: So she's turned down the big stations. She'll do a
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: New York one, the tiniest station, because it's very biased,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: very left-wing. You're going to be debating three people, her
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: and the anchors.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 6: That's okay. Mark, you know what? I'm up for it.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 6: There are a lot more Democrats in this state than Republicans.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of independent voters and they're all coming
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 6: my way every day. Another Democrat walks up to me
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: Republican before in my life. I'm voting for you. I'm
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: voting Republican this year. These people are nuts. And by
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 6: the way, we have an independent line, the vote affordable line.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 6: And that's for people who may not want to vote
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 6: Republican or conservative. So if you want to vote on
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: an independent line, you can vote the Affordable Party, and
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 6: that gives you an opportunity to vote for me and
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: not feel like you're going to get electrocuted if you
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 6: vote Republican.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, the always Democrats keep pushing affordability. That's their big issue.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: But if you look at the actual numbers, the affordability crisis,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: it's really taxes. That's the number one expense most people
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: have now are taxes. So there is a way to
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: cut that, isn't there?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Mark, it's taxes and it's utility bills. So first
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 6: of all, with respect to taxes, if you're a joint filer,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 6: under my plan, your first $ 100, 000, no tax, no state
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 6: income tax. That's number one. Single filer, $ 50, 000, no tax.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: That's number one. Number two, the other big cost is
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 6: your utility bill. She's approved 48 rate hikes, and she
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: is now going to give people a check that for
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: between $ 100 and $ 200 right before the election, what she
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: calls a rebate. It's a scam. She took your money
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 6: and she took $ 1, 000 and now she's giving you back $ 200.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's a shell game. And people will see
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: through that. People aren't stupid. And they know that this
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 6: is an election year scam. So they'll get a check
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: for $ 200. Hey, Kathy, give it all back. Whatever you raised,
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: in utility costs over the last four years, give it back.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 6: That's what I would do.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, you can help in the campaign. Just go
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: to BlakemanForNewYork.com. You can donate, volunteer, BlakemanForNewYork.com. A lot of
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: people in New York City, they're very worried about getting
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: through three years of Mamdani. When you become the governor,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: what can you do to rein in Mamdani's craziness?
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, the governor has a tremendous power
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: over New York City. So I am not going to
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: let him ruin the economy of New York City. That
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: is not going to happen with me as governor, number one.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: Number two, I am not going to allow lawlessness in
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 6: New York City. I'm not going to allow him to
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 6: defund the police. I'm not going to allow him to
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: handcuff our police. I want to make sure that we
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: make New York City safe so that we will attract businesses,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: will attract people to the city. And right now, people
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 6: are leaving by the hundreds of thousands because they don't
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 6: like the policies of Mondami and Hochul. And let's face it,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 6: the guy's an anti-Semite. He's anti-Christian. And quite frankly, he's anti-American.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: And Kathy Hochul endorsed him, and he endorsed her. So
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: they're in bed together. And the fact of the matter
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 6: is that we don't need people who don't share the
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 6: values of our parents and our grandparents. What we need
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 6: to do is get back to those values because... It
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: made a really, really good state and a really great city.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 6: And if we get back to those values, we can
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 6: restore that greatness once again.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: So, Bruce Blakeman, the big attack ad she and her
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: super PACs are running, the big attack ads against you
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: are that you're friends with Donald Trump. It's actually quite
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: a compliment if that's the only thing they can come
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: up with to attack you for.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 6: Well, she doesn't want to talk about her record. She
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: wants to talk about Donald Trump. Donald Trump... didn't raise
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 6: your taxes to be the highest taxed state in the
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: United States. Donald Trump didn't raise your utility bills so
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 6: they're now 70% higher than the national average. Kathy Hochul
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: did that. She's the one that's made it unaffordable. We
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 6: are number 50, Mark, out of 50 states in economic outlook.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 6: It doesn't get worse than that. There's only 50 states.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: That is the bottom. And we were the once great
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: empire state, and the fact is that There's no economic activity.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: People are leaving. Businesses are leaving. Jobs are leaving. We've
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 6: got to stop that death spiral.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you've gone from 20 points behind to almost tied
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: right now. And you're still climbing. What is it you
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: want people to do for you right now? People listening.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 6: Well, as you said, go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. We're up against
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: the Democratic machine. We're up against the DSA, people who
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: don't share our American values. They're socialists slash communists. And
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 6: please make a contribution. It's very important. Volunteer. Make a list.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: Make a list of your friends, your neighbors, your relatives,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 6: your coworkers, and keep calling them until they promise you
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 6: that they voted because turnout is going to be a
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 6: big factor. We need a big turnout for people who
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 6: want lower taxes, lower energy bills, and safer communities.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If you want to donate, go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. Well,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: we're all pushing for you. I think you're going to
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: win big in November. And we'll be watching. And we'll
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: talk again soon. Bruce Blakeman, thanks for being with us.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much, Mark. And I appreciate your friendship.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 6: May God bless you and all your listeners. And may
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 6: God bless America.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: All right. Bruce Blakeman, thanks for being with us. Take care. Yeah,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: everybody help out. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Well, the price of
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: oil has been spiking up today. Yeah, it is high.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: Now it's a problem. It's backed off a little. It
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: was $ 104. Now it's $ 102 a barrel. The reason for
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: the sudden spike is a Saudi Arabian pipeline hit. A
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: blown up explosion by what looked like it's believed to
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: be drones from Iran. Iran believed to be behind it. Now,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: it's a pipeline. It can be repaired. It'll take a
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: little while, but once that's fixed and Flowing again, that'll
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: change things. And once you get the Strait of Hormuz open,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: that'll help. And remember, within about a year and a half,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz will be totally irrelevant. Pipelines are
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: being built right now in every direction so that they
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: will no longer depend on the Strait of Hormuz. Within
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: two years, that'll be accomplished. Hey, it's going to be
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: a beautiful day today, so enjoy it. Not as warm, mid-70s,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: but sunny. It's the final eight days of summer. Final
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: eight days. The weather's going to be in the 70s,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: but really nice this week. The final week and a
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: half of summer. Hey, we're out of time. Don't forget
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: I start at 9 o'clock now, 9 a.m. to noon.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: It's now three hours. So I'll be back tomorrow, 9 o'clock.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: Talk to you then. Have a great day. Mark Simone
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: here on 710WOR.
