Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now.
0:08
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Thursday. That's good. That's good. That's almost Friday.
0:11
Speaker 2: We're almost there. A lot to get to today. Yankees
0:14
Speaker 2: out of it. We'll get to crazy Mayor Mamdani. Tried
0:18
Speaker 2: to play both ends there, and it blew up in
0:21
Speaker 2: his face. We'll get to President Trump. More rallies. We'll
0:25
Speaker 2: get to the Nobel Prize. We'll get to dirty politics.
0:29
Speaker 2: dirty jack smith it looks like the surveillance that he
0:32
Speaker 2: did on the trump campaign was much more expensive extensive
0:37
Speaker 2: than anybody knew we'll get to cornell we'll get to
0:41
Speaker 2: krista pike lots to talk about today so yeah yesterday
0:46
Speaker 2: mayor mamdani it was the third anniversary of october 7th
0:50
Speaker 2: the horrific terrorist holocaust launched against israel that they were
0:55
Speaker 2: forced to defend themselves against. Now, Mayor Mamdani, on that anniversary,
1:01
Speaker 2: thought he could play both sides. And, of course, he
1:07
Speaker 2: hates Israel. He's an anti-Semite right through and through. Hates Israel.
1:12
Speaker 2: Hates Jews. That's pretty obvious. It's mostly the same thing.
1:16
Speaker 2: You can't want to get rid of Israel and not
1:19
Speaker 2: say you hate Jews. They try to separate the two things. Well,
1:22
Speaker 2: I'm not anti-Semitic. I'm anti-Semitic. Israel, well, any time you
1:27
Speaker 2: tell any ethnic group you can't have a homeland, you
1:31
Speaker 2: can't have a country, you're anti-Semitic. That's anti-Semitic. So for
1:36
Speaker 2: the anniversary of October 7th, he decided he would attend
1:41
Speaker 2: that vigil for people that were killed on October 7th
1:45
Speaker 2: in the massacre against Israel. But to cover himself, he
1:50
Speaker 2: writes the dirtiest anti-Semitic, anti-Israel nonsense and posted online. The
1:58
Speaker 2: suffering did not begin on that day. I didn't want
2:01
Speaker 2: to read this. It goes on and on about Israel's
2:04
Speaker 2: devastating ongoing genocide in Gaza that was going on before
2:09
Speaker 2: October 6th. It just goes on and on with this anti-Semitism.
2:12
Speaker 2: The suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on
2:16
Speaker 2: ambulances waiting outside hospitals. None of this is true, by
2:20
Speaker 2: the way. Israel has never tried to bomb an ambulance
2:24
Speaker 2: outside of a hospital drone strikes, targeting residential buildings or journalists.
2:29
Speaker 2: Israel never did this. It's just creepy nonsense. Three years later,
2:33
Speaker 2: we must refuse to accept the world in which occupation
2:37
Speaker 2: and apartheid continue. Uh, war crimes are met with him.
2:41
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna read the rest of it. It's
2:42
Speaker 2: just ugly stuff. So, uh, I don't know how to
2:47
Speaker 2: explain this guy to you. He's a, he's smart, but
2:51
Speaker 2: he's not that bright. He's not super smart. I mean,
2:53
Speaker 2: I've talked to him enough to know that he's, he
2:55
Speaker 2: gets what you're saying, but he's, uh, he's not super smart.
2:59
Speaker 2: He's not one of those guys that looks at you
3:00
Speaker 2: and he could tell, he could read between the lines. He,
3:03
Speaker 2: he can see everything you're really up to. He's not
3:06
Speaker 2: one of those guys. So he tried to play both sides.
3:09
Speaker 2: It backfired. The, uh, the, the Jews that were out
3:13
Speaker 2: last night booed him like crazy for writing this anti-Semitic nonsense,
3:19
Speaker 2: especially on the anniversary of October 7th. And then the
3:22
Speaker 2: anti-Semites that were protesting booed him just as much for
3:27
Speaker 2: attending the vigil. So both sides hate him now. So
3:31
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's going to do. He's basically
3:36
Speaker 2: as deep as his anti-Semitism is, I think even deeper
3:40
Speaker 2: is his political ambition to succeed. So He's tried to
3:45
Speaker 2: walk this tightrope with both sides, and he fell off
3:47
Speaker 2: it last night and got booed by both sides. I
3:50
Speaker 2: don't know what he's going to do now. He's got
3:52
Speaker 2: to pick a direction. He realizes, and a lot of
3:55
Speaker 2: people learn that, you can't play to both sides of
3:58
Speaker 2: the aisle. It doesn't work. You end up with nobody
4:02
Speaker 2: supporting you. So he's going to have to lean more
4:06
Speaker 2: to one side. Now, we'll see what he decides. But
4:10
Speaker 2: it was just ugly what he did yesterday. Ugly. Really ugly. Now,
4:15
Speaker 2: it's interesting. They asked the two candidates to comment on
4:19
Speaker 2: the ugly, anti-Semitic, horrible, anti-Semitic nonsense Mamdani posted. Listen to Hochul.
4:27
Speaker 2: Try not to say anything bad about him.
4:29
Speaker 3: I think that day speaks for itself. In the aftermath,
4:39
Speaker 3: we called for there to be a more humanitarian response
4:42
Speaker 3: to get aid to those In Gaza?
4:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I see this is the terrified, cowardly, cowering
4:49
Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, who's so afraid that she's going to lose
4:51
Speaker 2: this election, afraid to say anything specific about Mamdani, so
4:56
Speaker 2: she dances around it. Listen to the difference. Listen to
4:58
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman.
4:59
Speaker 4: I thought his remarks were unconscionable, not becoming, of the
5:03
Speaker 4: mayor of.
5:03
Speaker 2: The city of New York. See, that's what you're supposed
5:06
Speaker 2: to say. That's what you're supposed to say. But Hochul
5:10
Speaker 2: is in real trouble. The polls, I know you see
5:12
Speaker 2: these public polls where she's 12 points ahead. Those are
5:15
Speaker 2: the fake public polls. The real polls have it even
5:19
Speaker 2: right now, totally deadlocked, both within the margin of error.
5:23
Speaker 2: That's why she went into panic mode and launched millions
5:28
Speaker 2: and millions and millions of dollars in attack ads on
5:31
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. You know, whenever you turn on a news
5:34
Speaker 2: program or Good Day New York or you're watching TV,
5:37
Speaker 2: you get bumped bartered with these attack ads against Bruce Blakeman. Well,
5:42
Speaker 2: that should make you happy because she wouldn't be running
5:44
Speaker 2: those if she wasn't in trouble. That's a sign of panic. Now, publicly,
5:49
Speaker 2: she'll deny it. She'll say the polls look great.
5:51
Speaker 3: Listen, in a purple state, you know, being ahead by
5:55
Speaker 3: half a point or 1% is concerning. Double digits mean something.
6:02
Speaker 2: But it's double digits in the fake polls, the college
6:04
Speaker 2: polls where the metrics are all wrong. They don't use
6:08
Speaker 2: likely voters. They use a very biased group. Bruce Blakeman
6:14
Speaker 2: has seen the real polls, and they're neck and neck.
6:18
Speaker 2: They're both within the margin of error.
6:20
Speaker 4: Another Democrat each and every day comes up to me
6:22
Speaker 4: and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted
6:26
Speaker 4: Republican in my life. We're voting for you this year.
6:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, now all over the country, midterms, New York, There
6:35
Speaker 2: is something going on that's pretty interesting. It's looking a
6:39
Speaker 2: little better for Republicans than you would think. Even CNN's pollster,
6:45
Speaker 2: even Harry Enten, the CNN pollster, is saying Republicans are
6:48
Speaker 2: slowly but surely getting the advantage in all these elections
6:52
Speaker 2: for one reason. It's pretty even, and it's going to
6:57
Speaker 2: be an election determined by turnout. This will be what
7:01
Speaker 2: they call a turnout election. If Democrats turn out in
7:04
Speaker 2: great numbers, they'll win. If Republicans turn out in great numbers,
7:07
Speaker 2: they'll win. And right now, it's looking like Republicans have
7:12
Speaker 2: more momentum. In fact, the CNN pollster reporting that he's
7:16
Speaker 2: looked through the metrics. The one key metric, very important,
7:20
Speaker 2: is Republicans are winning in voter registration. There are more
7:26
Speaker 2: Republicans showing up to register and vote than Democrats right now.
7:32
Speaker 2: Enten said Republicans have increased their lead on Democrats in Arizona, Nevada,
7:37
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Pennsylvania by four to eight points. Now, this
7:41
Speaker 2: is the CNN pollster saying this. And as he says,
7:45
Speaker 2: when you take a look at how people are registering,
7:47
Speaker 2: this is not polling data. This is actual registering. Republicans
7:51
Speaker 2: right now are doing considerably better than Democrats in swing states.
7:55
Speaker 2: So this is a big deal. And even the CNN
8:00
Speaker 2: pollster saying, Republicans right now in a better position because
8:06
Speaker 2: of the registration. We'll talk about this later, too. Democrats
8:11
Speaker 2: may have really misread the electorate. They've been really playing
8:15
Speaker 2: up these ICE raids, not realizing that to most people,
8:19
Speaker 2: they like ICE raids. They like criminals being arrested and
8:23
Speaker 2: taken off the streets. You know, they brag about the
8:27
Speaker 2: crime numbers going down, the numbers. crime numbers better than
8:30
Speaker 2: ever in new york and washington and chicago but nobody
8:34
Speaker 2: points out one of the main reasons for that is
8:36
Speaker 2: so many criminals have been taken off the street not
8:39
Speaker 2: by the locals not by the da not by our
8:43
Speaker 2: prosecutors but by ice they've you know every time they
8:45
Speaker 2: come into new york and take a four or five
8:47
Speaker 2: thousand criminals off the street your crime rate is going
8:50
Speaker 2: to go down that's why you're seeing it all over
8:52
Speaker 2: the country they're locking up criminals everywhere so uh the
8:58
Speaker 2: uh the Botched execution. Krista Pike. She survived it. You
9:04
Speaker 2: might have seen this big headline. Krista Pike survives two
9:07
Speaker 2: lethal injections. She's in the hospital. She finally wakes up.
9:11
Speaker 2: And the headline was... Her amazing first words. Well, now
9:16
Speaker 2: you can't... You got to read this story. Oh, my God.
9:18
Speaker 2: What were her first words? You look in the story.
9:23
Speaker 2: Her first words were.
9:26
Speaker 2: Where am I?
9:28
Speaker 5: Well.
9:29
Speaker 2: That would be everybody's first words. Where am I? Hell
9:32
Speaker 2: of an ad-libber, huh? That's what anybody would have said.
9:35
Speaker 2: That's what I assumed the first words were. I would
9:38
Speaker 2: be shocked if those weren't the first words. He said,
9:40
Speaker 2: where am I? Who are you people? Now, they got
9:44
Speaker 2: to decide what to do. They got to decide if
9:47
Speaker 2: they're going to execute her again, which I would think
9:51
Speaker 2: they would and should. Her attorney is fighting this. They
9:57
Speaker 2: say she's got a long road to recovery. She's got
9:59
Speaker 2: blood clots in her arms. She's got pneumonia. Not able
10:03
Speaker 2: to swallow. She's got all this stuff going on. You know,
10:05
Speaker 2: believe it or not, under the law, you can't execute
10:08
Speaker 2: somebody that's not completely coherent. Believe it or not, they
10:12
Speaker 2: have to be in good shape to be executed. That's
10:14
Speaker 2: the law. She's got swelling in her hands, all sorts
10:17
Speaker 2: of stuff. Wait a minute, where is it? Here's... I
10:20
Speaker 2: think this is her lawyer here.
10:21
Speaker 6: She is not able to swallow yet, so she has
10:24
Speaker 6: not eaten. She cannot move either of her arms. Both
10:29
Speaker 6: of her arms and hands are tremendously swollen, and we
10:32
Speaker 6: do not know what, if any, function she will regain
10:36
Speaker 6: in her arms.
10:37
Speaker 7: Huh.
10:38
Speaker 6: A Monday night. It was our understanding that Krista was
10:41
Speaker 6: brain dead and that life support would be removed the
10:44
Speaker 6: next day. But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone,
10:48
Speaker 6: including me, including her team, and including the medical team,
10:52
Speaker 6: Krista woke up and began talking.
10:54
Speaker 2: Now, as I pointed out, 3% of the executions in
11:00
Speaker 2: America fail. 3% of the executions, they don't kill the person.
11:05
Speaker 2: And this has happened with hanging, with electrocution, all that
11:08
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Um, they got to decide what to do.
11:12
Speaker 2: Now they say, uh, and the lawyer kept warning everybody,
11:14
Speaker 2: you know, she's in such a weird shape. Her veins
11:17
Speaker 2: are so screwed up. The injection won't be able to
11:20
Speaker 2: go all the way through. So that might've been the problem.
11:22
Speaker 2: But she's got all kinds of swelling in it.
11:25
Speaker 6: The swelling is what I noticed. And her hands looked
11:29
Speaker 6: like if you were to blow up a surgical blood.
11:33
Speaker 2: The swelling was extraordinary. Yeah, all right. Now, of course,
11:37
Speaker 2: he wants the death sentence dropped, commuted.
11:40
Speaker 6: We continue to ask Governor Lee to commute Krista's death sentence.
11:44
Speaker 6: After all we have seen and all that we still
11:47
Speaker 6: do not know, it is unimaginable that the state would
11:50
Speaker 6: try to execute her again.
11:52
Speaker 2: Well, if she did something so horrible, she got the
11:54
Speaker 2: death penalty, you got to execute her. So we'll see.
11:57
Speaker 2: But he'll go to court. He'll delay this forever and
11:59
Speaker 2: ever and ever and ever. Now, remember we were telling
12:04
Speaker 2: you about this dirty, dirty Jack Smith, this really dirty cop.
12:09
Speaker 2: Jack Smith, he became the special counsel. That's why they
12:12
Speaker 2: got him to be the special counsel. They could have
12:16
Speaker 2: got 1,200 people in D.C. that would have been perfect
12:18
Speaker 2: special counsels. They went halfway around the world. This guy's
12:21
Speaker 2: a famous hitman, Jack Smith. He goes after Republicans. He'll
12:25
Speaker 2: make up crap. He'll do all kinds of things. And
12:28
Speaker 2: in this case, he made up a lot of crap.
12:30
Speaker 2: He put together pictures of hundreds of boxes. You saw
12:33
Speaker 2: the pictures, those boxes, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of boxes. Well,
12:36
Speaker 2: it turned out none of them had classified documents in them.
12:39
Speaker 2: It turned out they only found 35 classified documents in Mar-a-Lago,
12:44
Speaker 2: which is one inch of one box. All those boxes
12:47
Speaker 2: you saw. were not classified documents, just normal presidential papers.
12:52
Speaker 2: But it turns out now, we're finding out more and
12:54
Speaker 2: more that under Joe Biden and Merrick Garland and the
12:58
Speaker 2: dirty FBI director, Christopher Wray, they turned Jack Smith loose
13:03
Speaker 2: on the Trump campaign. They had him do unbelievable surveillance
13:08
Speaker 2: on the Trump campaign. Now, remember, they did this in
13:10
Speaker 2: 2015 and 16, the Obama administration. It turned out there
13:13
Speaker 2: was millions Massive surveillance going on in Trump Tower. The
13:18
Speaker 2: most sophisticated, bugging, eavesdropping. Well, in this case, 2020, Biden
13:26
Speaker 2: and his evil Justice Department, Merrick Garland, they allowed Jack
13:32
Speaker 2: Smith to do everything. And it's all being released now.
13:36
Speaker 2: The logs that they kept on Susie Wiles. At the time, remember,
13:41
Speaker 2: Trump's a private citizen. She's merely his chief of staff.
13:45
Speaker 2: They got every phone call, everything. And these were phone
13:49
Speaker 2: calls with campaign officials, campaign with talking to attorneys, the
13:54
Speaker 2: Secret Service, detailed logs of every phone call catalog. It's
13:59
Speaker 2: all coming out. They buried these files somewhere in the FBI.
14:04
Speaker 2: Kash Patel, current FBI director, managed to find them. Now,
14:09
Speaker 2: this kind of lawfare is just evil, Letitia Jameson. Remember,
14:12
Speaker 2: they also had four criminal cases reported. going against Donald Trump,
14:16
Speaker 2: all coordinated by the White House. We know that Letitia
14:19
Speaker 2: James was going to the White House for meetings on it.
14:22
Speaker 2: We know that Fafani Willis, the guy she had running
14:25
Speaker 2: the case, went to the White House several times for
14:28
Speaker 2: eight-hour meetings, eight-hour meetings in the White House. We know
14:32
Speaker 2: that the case in New York, Alvin Bragg, the Biden
14:35
Speaker 2: administration sent their top justice official to come run the
14:38
Speaker 2: case here in New York. So it was all being coordinated.
14:42
Speaker 2: This is the dirtiest lawfare Now, remember when Trump got
14:46
Speaker 2: elected the first time, he had said in the campaign
14:48
Speaker 2: a number of times to Hillary Clinton, I'll appoint a
14:52
Speaker 2: special prosecutor. I'll go after you. You're going to be
14:54
Speaker 2: in jail. Well, he's not a, believe it or not,
14:56
Speaker 2: Trump is not a ruthless guy. He gets into office
15:00
Speaker 2: and he didn't do it. He didn't do it. Remember
15:02
Speaker 2: one time Leslie Stahl said to him, what happened? You
15:04
Speaker 2: promised you'd go after Hillary Clinton. And he said in
15:07
Speaker 2: the 60 Minutes interview, they're nice people. I don't want
15:09
Speaker 2: to hurt them. That's just the way he was. Now,
15:12
Speaker 2: a lot of people said, you know, you should have
15:13
Speaker 2: done it. You should have gone after him. He didn't.
15:16
Speaker 2: And he talked about it yesterday.
15:18
Speaker 8: I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton.
15:21
Speaker 8: I could have done very, very bad things to Joe Biden.
15:26
Speaker 8: I could have done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama.
15:30
Speaker 8: I thought it was inappropriate to do so because you
15:35
Speaker 8: have to treat the office of the presidency with respect.
15:40
Speaker 8: Then I found out that they impeached me twice. And
15:46
Speaker 8: i certainly even to this moment i have i can
15:48
Speaker 8: do whatever.
15:49
Speaker 2: I want if i want yeah but he's not he's
15:51
Speaker 2: not a ruthless guy he couldn't do it could have
15:54
Speaker 2: gone after uh biden for that surveillance on the 2020
15:58
Speaker 2: campaign he could have been doing it now but not
16:01
Speaker 2: going to do it uh some say he should hey
16:05
Speaker 2: the republicans had control of congress under biden did they
16:08
Speaker 2: impeach him every two weeks no that's But there are
16:12
Speaker 2: other people who say you can't act like Democrats. You
16:14
Speaker 2: can't do the evil things they do. It's just not right.
16:17
Speaker 2: We've got a lot to get to. Jimmy Fallon will
16:20
Speaker 2: be with us a little later. A lot to talk
16:21
Speaker 2: to him about. We'll get to the Nobel Prize. This
16:26
Speaker 2: is the most rigged, biased awards in the world, the Nobel.
16:29
Speaker 2: We'll get all of this coming up. It's Mark Simone here,
16:31
Speaker 2: 9 to noon every day. Three hours now, 9 to
16:34
Speaker 2: noon every day, here on 710WOR. It's the Mark Simone Show.
16:40
Speaker 2: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, we were talking
16:47
Speaker 2: about that crazy Mamdani trying to play both sides. He
16:50
Speaker 2: goes to a vigil for those killed on October 7th
16:55
Speaker 2: in the awful Hamas Holocaust. He goes to the vigil,
17:00
Speaker 2: which was unusual for him. But then where did he
17:02
Speaker 2: go after that? He went to a Palestinian restaurant.
17:08
Speaker 5: Okay.
17:09
Speaker 2: On the Upper West Side, it's actually a Palestinian restaurant
17:14
Speaker 2: named for a child killed in Gaza. It's called Hind's Hall.
17:20
Speaker 2: Don't rush there. Don't rush there. Not so good. On
17:23
Speaker 2: Manhattan's Upper West Side, it's a branch of the Palestinian
17:26
Speaker 2: chain Ayat. The restaurant takes its name from Hind Rajab,
17:31
Speaker 2: a five-year-old girl who was killed in... Oh, God. Anyway,
17:34
Speaker 2: this is what he did last. He went to a
17:36
Speaker 2: Palestinian restaurant. Well, that may be punishment enough, having to
17:39
Speaker 2: eat that food. But when was the last time you
17:41
Speaker 2: saw a Palestinian restaurant? Oh, Larry David. Curb your enthusiasm.
17:48
Speaker 2: Remember the Palestinian chicken episode? One of the funniest ever
17:52
Speaker 2: in the whole series. So there he was. He made
17:55
Speaker 2: sure the press... followed him. They made sure the press
17:58
Speaker 2: was there. You know, when they put out his schedule
18:00
Speaker 2: every day, a lot of times they say what he's
18:02
Speaker 2: going to do, but they don't give you the location.
18:04
Speaker 2: They don't tell you where it's going to be. They
18:05
Speaker 2: don't allow any press. This, they made sure there were
18:07
Speaker 2: press there. There's even photographs of him eating in the
18:11
Speaker 2: Palestinian restaurant. Now, normally when a big Instagram influencer goes
18:17
Speaker 2: to a certain restaurant, you know, like right now, like
18:21
Speaker 2: Fort Charles is big or Cafe Charmant, that's the new
18:24
Speaker 2: hot one. All the Instagram influencers, lines around the block.
18:28
Speaker 2: You can't get in. So we'll see what kind of
18:31
Speaker 2: influencer Mamdani is on Instagram with this Palestinian restaurant. Well,
18:36
Speaker 2: you never know. Maybe he is with all the crazy anti-Semites,
18:39
Speaker 2: all the haters. They may all be lining up at
18:43
Speaker 2: this Palestinian restaurant tonight. So the Cornell case, the Jane Doe,
18:50
Speaker 2: the accuser, Apparently is getting all kinds of threats. Now,
18:55
Speaker 2: she's supposed to be anonymous, but her name is leaked
18:58
Speaker 2: out there. And she's getting all kinds of threatening phone calls,
19:01
Speaker 2: phone calls threatening to shoot her family if she doesn't
19:04
Speaker 2: drop the suit. One of the callers claimed to be
19:07
Speaker 2: related to one of the seven Cornell brothers. And he
19:13
Speaker 2: not only threatened to kill her family, he very coolly
19:17
Speaker 2: named her address, named all the people she knew. It's
19:20
Speaker 2: a pretty scary phone call. So this is the kind
19:23
Speaker 2: of stuff that's going.
19:27
Speaker 1: On.
19:27
Speaker 2: One of the guys accused, one of the Cornell Seven,
19:33
Speaker 2: this guy deserves a real, some kind of award for
19:36
Speaker 2: chutzpah here. This guy is going after Cornell now, saying
19:41
Speaker 2: that he, on that night, was sodomized. And he is
19:45
Speaker 2: a sexual assault survivor. He is saying the university, is
19:50
Speaker 2: sexist because they have done nothing for him. Now, what
19:53
Speaker 2: does he mean? Well, if you read her account, she
19:58
Speaker 2: admits that she wanted to have sex with two guys,
20:01
Speaker 2: and with one of them, she performed a certain sexual act,
20:09
Speaker 2: How do we say it? A Monica Lewinsky type of
20:12
Speaker 2: an act. And believe it or not, in some states,
20:16
Speaker 2: that's still legally classified as sodomy. So I guess that's
20:21
Speaker 2: what he's claiming. He's claiming he was sodomized and he's
20:23
Speaker 2: the sexual assault survivor. Just for nerve. Just for nerve,
20:31
Speaker 2: this guy gets an A. But now, you know, this
20:35
Speaker 2: is interesting. Two... of the Cornell seven. It's really four
20:39
Speaker 2: that are actually in the accounts we've seen. It's four
20:43
Speaker 2: that have actually committed these acts, but there were three there,
20:47
Speaker 2: three others. So it's the Cornell seven, but two of
20:50
Speaker 2: them still go to Cornell. They're still students. They attend classes.
20:55
Speaker 2: Teachers say it's very, very awkward because everybody knows who
20:59
Speaker 2: they are, but both students have continued to attend classes
21:02
Speaker 2: every day, even though they're identified. One of the seven
21:06
Speaker 2: has already graduated, but two of them are still there,
21:10
Speaker 2: and they go to class every day as if nothing's wrong.
21:12
Speaker 2: This is one of the strangest cases. You know, they're
21:15
Speaker 2: putting together a little panel to investigate whether or not
21:20
Speaker 2: Cornell handled it properly. I can save you the time
21:23
Speaker 2: and trouble. You don't need a panel. The fact that
21:25
Speaker 2: you're front page news all over the world two years
21:29
Speaker 2: later means you didn't handle it right. You know, you
21:31
Speaker 2: can tell when you handled it right. Two years later,
21:34
Speaker 2: everybody forgot about it. It's two years after the incident.
21:37
Speaker 2: It's big, big news. It's the lead story on newscasts
21:41
Speaker 2: all over the world. So I guess you didn't handle
21:45
Speaker 2: it right. The White House carefully monitoring that plague outbreak
21:49
Speaker 2: in Russia. Lab worker died. Now, the thing they're worried about,
21:55
Speaker 2: this is how it all started in Wuhan, China. There
21:59
Speaker 2: was a leak out of the lab, but many people
22:02
Speaker 2: suspecting it was China deliberately leaking it out, deliberately causing
22:08
Speaker 2: a pandemic. And who the hell would trust Russia? So
22:12
Speaker 2: it looks like this lab worker, she broke a test
22:15
Speaker 2: tube and that's how it got onto her. But who knows?
22:18
Speaker 2: That's what they're monitoring, looking to see. First of all,
22:21
Speaker 2: you want to make sure it's contained, but also they
22:23
Speaker 2: want to see if this is some Russian plot. Now,
22:26
Speaker 2: why would China unleash a virus all over the world? Well,
22:29
Speaker 2: some think it was to completely disrupt the 2020 election.
22:35
Speaker 2: make sure that Donald Trump lost, knock him out of office,
22:38
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. Who knows what Putin is up to?
22:42
Speaker 2: It might be an anti-Trump thing. It might be an
22:44
Speaker 2: anti-Ukraine thing. If this is an attempt to launch a plague.
22:49
Speaker 2: But we don't know that. Let's not get ahead of
22:50
Speaker 2: ourselves on that. J.D. Vance, you know his hometown? He
22:57
Speaker 2: wrote about it in that book, Hillbilly Elegy. His hometown
23:01
Speaker 2: in Ohio. It's a nice, wonderful little town Apparently, it's
23:05
Speaker 2: been overrun by illegals, illegal migrants from Uzbekistan, and they're
23:10
Speaker 2: operating hundreds and hundreds of shady trucking businesses. The little
23:15
Speaker 2: quaint town has now gone crazy. They don't know what
23:17
Speaker 2: to do. One local school district's now 12% non-English speaking students.
23:24
Speaker 2: There's a multimillion dollar mosque being built in the middle
23:27
Speaker 2: of this little tiny Mainville, Ohio. And the fraud is
23:31
Speaker 2: out of control. The fraud of these illegals, and not
23:35
Speaker 2: just these Somalis, but these guys. Now, listen to this.
23:37
Speaker 2: There's one company, a trucking company, that's getting federal grants
23:44
Speaker 2: and everything because they operate 23,000 trucks in this little town,
23:49
Speaker 2: 23,000 trucks. Well, the DOT investigated. It turns out it's
23:54
Speaker 2: just a single apartment, not an apartment building, just an
23:58
Speaker 2: apartment building. No sign of 23,000 trucks. It's kind of
24:01
Speaker 2: fraud that's going on all over the place. Hey, we've
24:04
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. We'll take some calls
24:06
Speaker 2: coming up. But first, on 710WOR. Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
24:13
Speaker 2: Mark Simone. Only on 710WOR. Well, hey, we'll take some calls.
24:20
Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
24:20
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
24:28
Speaker 2: Our old friend, uh, Kimberly Guilfoyle getting herself into some
24:31
Speaker 2: trouble here. She's, uh, you know, remember she was engaged
24:34
Speaker 2: to Don jr. That got, uh, ended. They broke it off. Uh,
24:39
Speaker 2: and then the, uh, consolation prize was, uh, she was
24:42
Speaker 2: named ambassador to Greece. You know, if you're, uh, you
24:46
Speaker 2: got to break up with somebody and it's kind of awkward.
24:49
Speaker 2: Now you break up with them. If your father's the president, perfect.
24:52
Speaker 2: You know, make her an ambassador to Greece, get her
24:54
Speaker 2: like 5,000 miles away. Um, But the Wall Street Journal
24:59
Speaker 2: apparently got a hold of her texts, her signal chats.
25:04
Speaker 2: And the Wall Street Journal now claiming that she was
25:07
Speaker 2: shaking down donors, trying to get money out of them.
25:12
Speaker 2: That according to this Wall Street Journal, and they say
25:15
Speaker 2: they got a hold of these texts and chats, signal chats,
25:19
Speaker 2: that she had run up a lot of credit card debt,
25:22
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands in credit card debt. And there's a donor,
25:25
Speaker 2: apparently she'd gotten money from this guy before. So this
25:28
Speaker 2: is in summer of 2025. She kept pressing this Republican
25:32
Speaker 2: donor to pay her American express a hundred thousand dollars.
25:38
Speaker 2: She wanted him to wire the money directly to American express.
25:43
Speaker 2: And that would mean, uh, it wouldn't, she wouldn't be
25:46
Speaker 2: involved in the transaction. There'd be no trace to her
25:50
Speaker 2: and the guy didn't want to do it. Apparently he's
25:52
Speaker 2: a big donor and he, you know, paid money for
25:55
Speaker 2: her before. But he said, if I do this, my
25:58
Speaker 2: wife will leave me if I've given you $ 100, 000. His
26:01
Speaker 2: wife would leave him, so who knows what was going
26:03
Speaker 2: on there. But she said, you wire it directly to
26:06
Speaker 2: American Express. She'll never know. But apparently, he was too
26:09
Speaker 2: worried about the wife. She didn't do it. Now, how
26:13
Speaker 2: did she get all this credit card debt? Remember, she's
26:14
Speaker 2: engaged to Donald Trump. Maybe she was spending and spending
26:17
Speaker 2: and spending, thinking she's going to become part of the
26:20
Speaker 2: Trump family, and it didn't work out. So We'll see
26:24
Speaker 2: what happens with this Wall Street Journal piece, how far
26:26
Speaker 2: this spreads. Let's take some calls. Let's go to Dr. Bob,
26:30
Speaker 2: a great surgeon in Long Island. Dr. Bob, how are
26:33
Speaker 2: you doing?
26:33
Speaker 7: I'm good, Mark.
26:34
Speaker 1: How are you?
26:35
Speaker 5: Good.
26:36
Speaker 7: Mark, I'm concerned. I'm a big supporter of Donald Trump,
26:40
Speaker 7: but I think he's trying to achieve a balance, and
26:42
Speaker 7: it's making him look a little bit wishy-washy. He used
26:46
Speaker 7: the term with various people in the past that they
26:50
Speaker 7: weren't closers, and I hope that... He takes more of
26:53
Speaker 7: the Harry Truman approach and finishes and solves some problems
26:57
Speaker 7: with Hillary and the other Democrats who have attacked him
27:01
Speaker 7: during his runs for presidency. He has too much respect
27:06
Speaker 7: for the office of president, but he should really follow
27:09
Speaker 7: through with what he's said about those people that were
27:13
Speaker 7: attacking him during his presidential run.
27:14
Speaker 2: No, give him time. Give him time. Let's get through
27:16
Speaker 2: the midterms first. You don't do it now. You do
27:18
Speaker 2: it after the midterms.
27:19
Speaker 5: Right.
27:19
Speaker 7: The next two years, I'm hoping he cinches down.
27:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, they should lock up Jack Smith and Merrick Garland
27:26
Speaker 2: and all of those people. Exactly. All right, Dr. Bob,
27:29
Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Let's go to Megan in Brooklyn. Megan,
27:33
Speaker 2: how you doing?
27:34
Speaker 9: Okay, I am furious about what you said the other day.
27:38
Speaker 2: Oh, calm down, calm down.
27:39
Speaker 5: I have to.
27:40
Speaker 2: What the hell you so mad about?
27:42
Speaker 9: Not using cash, okay? I use cash for everything. You
27:46
Speaker 9: know who ties up the lines when I'm going to pay?
27:49
Speaker 9: The people with the snaps. benefits the food stamp benefits
27:53
Speaker 9: the ebts because you can see the screen constantly where
27:57
Speaker 9: they have to check.
27:58
Speaker 2: Okay but listen you gotta pay the checkout they ring
28:00
Speaker 2: it up you take your credit card you touch the
28:02
Speaker 2: thing and you're paying you'll.
28:04
Speaker 1: Move on you take your phone you'll hold it up
28:07
Speaker 1: one second you're paid you go you people with the
28:10
Speaker 1: cash and it's always an older woman and that's not
28:12
Speaker 1: counting it out the cashier is 12 years old she's
28:15
Speaker 1: like 22 she's never even seen cash Got to figure
28:18
Speaker 1: out how to give you a change.
28:19
Speaker 9: Not true. Everything is automatic. Even the receipt, when it
28:23
Speaker 9: comes out, it tells them how much change to give.
28:26
Speaker 2: I know, but it's like a 20-year-old kid who's not
28:28
Speaker 2: used to dealing with cash. Now, don't you have a
28:31
Speaker 2: credit card?
28:32
Speaker 9: Yes, but I don't use it unless I'm ordering something big.
28:35
Speaker 1: What do you think it's for?
28:37
Speaker 2: It's for the supermarket.
28:39
Speaker 9: I don't want identity theft, okay? And it's a big thing,
28:43
Speaker 9: a big thing. So I only use it when I
28:45
Speaker 9: have a big purchase online or whatever.
28:47
Speaker 2: First of all, if you were a victim of identity theft,
28:50
Speaker 2: they'd give it back after seeing your identity. Yeah, I'm
28:52
Speaker 2: not going through that.
28:54
Speaker 9: I am not going through that, but I want my money.
28:58
Speaker 9: I don't want my nickels being taken away. It's bad
29:01
Speaker 9: enough my pennies were taken away.
29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no more pennies, and the government is going
29:05
Speaker 2: to stop making nickels, so.
29:06
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
29:07
Speaker 2: So how much cash do you keep? You have to
29:08
Speaker 2: keep a lot of cash around.
29:09
Speaker 9: I have enough. I have enough, and I know what
29:12
Speaker 9: I'm buying. No problem. No problem.
29:16
Speaker 2: All right, but cash only. That's like a Carmelo Soprano
29:20
Speaker 2: kind of a behavior.
29:22
Speaker 9: Believe it or not, I'm Italian-American. I never watch The Sopranos.
29:28
Speaker 5: Never.
29:29
Speaker 9: Absolutely never.
29:30
Speaker 2: But you have a credit card, right?
29:33
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
29:33
Speaker 9: I have two of them, but I only use them
29:35
Speaker 9: for certain things.
29:36
Speaker 2: I want you to do me a favor.
29:38
Speaker 9: Go ahead.
29:39
Speaker 2: I want you to go to the supermarket just once,
29:41
Speaker 2: just once, and use the credit card. Just once.
29:45
Speaker 5: Just once.
29:47
Speaker 9: I don't even use it for buying gasoline for the car.
29:50
Speaker 2: How do you get gas?
29:52
Speaker 9: I pay cash, and they pump it for me. With
29:54
Speaker 9: the one station in Brooklyn that actually pumps the gas
29:57
Speaker 9: for you.
30:00
Speaker 2: I can't stand it. I got to pump my own gas.
30:02
Speaker 2: I hate those full service gas stations.
30:04
Speaker 9: Oh, I love it because I don't have to get
30:06
Speaker 9: out of the car. It's full service and I'm a
30:08
Speaker 9: happy camper.
30:09
Speaker 2: I'm trying to help you. Get out of the car,
30:11
Speaker 2: walk around, pump your own gas. Okay, just once, just
30:15
Speaker 2: once I want you to use the credit card in
30:17
Speaker 2: the supermarket. Just to feel, see what the experience is like.
30:21
Speaker 9: No promises made.
30:22
Speaker 2: All right. Well, you're a nice woman, Megan. Thanks for calling.
30:25
Speaker 2: Take care. Remember years ago you had The woman wants
30:28
Speaker 2: to pay with a check in the supermarket. You got
30:29
Speaker 2: to wait while she writes out the, it's the same
30:31
Speaker 2: thing now with the cash. You got to wait while
30:33
Speaker 2: she takes out the cash. The cashier has never used
30:36
Speaker 2: cash in her life. She's 23. She's got to figure
30:38
Speaker 2: out what, how you give change. Use the credit card.
30:42
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
30:46
Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark.
30:47
Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
30:48
Speaker 5: Down here in Florida, they still try to play with checks.
30:51
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm ready to blow my brain. Um,
30:56
Speaker 5: You know, the AI thing is simmered down for a
30:58
Speaker 5: couple of days, but I wanted to mention to people
31:01
Speaker 5: who may not be old enough, you know, once upon
31:03
Speaker 5: a time, computers were sort of this way. You know,
31:06
Speaker 5: 2001 Space Odyssey was basically about a rogue computer, and
31:10
Speaker 5: that was 1968. And then before that, in the 50s,
31:14
Speaker 5: they made a movie called Desk Set, which was about
31:16
Speaker 5: a computer, in part, you know, running a company and
31:20
Speaker 5: ruining people's lives. so you know that was the ai.
31:25
Speaker 2: In 1999 2000 everybody was talking about this when we
31:28
Speaker 2: were going digital and online and email everybody thought it
31:30
Speaker 2: was going to take over and ruin us and then
31:33
Speaker 2: y2k the year 2000 everybody thought uh.
31:35
Speaker 5: Yeah i mentioned that a couple of calls back and
31:39
Speaker 5: then i called and mentioned it again yesterday yeah it's
31:41
Speaker 5: it's that hysteria but it was funny about computers because
31:44
Speaker 5: now computers everybody has a computer in their pocket you
31:47
Speaker 5: know i mean uh which is everybody has short memories
31:51
Speaker 5: about these alarmists. Yeah.
31:53
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, good call. And as we always point out,
31:57
Speaker 2: when electricity was first invented, the same thing happened. There
32:01
Speaker 2: was hysteria that electricity would kill us all, would wipe
32:04
Speaker 2: us out, and that's what led to Mary Shelley writing
32:08
Speaker 2: the book Frankenstein about how with electricity you could create
32:12
Speaker 2: monsters that would kill us. It happens all the time.
32:15
Speaker 2: There's a new movie coming out called Artificial. to be
32:18
Speaker 2: released Christmas Day. And this will help propel this AI hysteria.
32:25
Speaker 2: But it's a good movie. It's a very good movie.
32:27
Speaker 2: About 75% of it is true. 25% of it is
32:31
Speaker 2: total fiction. Let's go to Anthony in the Bronx. Anthony,
32:34
Speaker 2: what do you want to say?
32:36
Speaker 5: You can always pay in pennies. And what about the
32:39
Speaker 5: Brooklyn Bridge? They're afraid to go over it, right? Yeah.
32:43
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, people get like that. Yeah,
32:45
Speaker 2: he's right. You know, when they built the Brooklyn Bridge,
32:47
Speaker 2: it was too scary to to go over it. Listen,
32:53
Speaker 2: nobody remembers Y2K. I mean, they remember it, but they
32:56
Speaker 2: don't remember how scared everybody was. They actually, at the time,
33:00
Speaker 2: said planes could drop out of the sky, everything could stop,
33:03
Speaker 2: the whole power grid could shut down. People look back, yeah, Y2K,
