Speaker 2: and a whole lot more to get to. We'll get
0:28
Speaker 2: to the latest on the Crazy Mom Donnie CBS leaving
0:32
Speaker 2: New York. Well, we'll get to all of that coming up.
0:35
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt leaving the White House. It kind of stunned everybody.
0:40
Speaker 2: It's a tough job. It's a very intense job being
0:42
Speaker 2: that White House press secretary. You know, most of us
0:46
Speaker 2: just all we see is the briefing, which is a
0:49
Speaker 2: half hour an hour every day, and that's brutal too.
0:51
Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking to the worst people in the world,
0:53
Speaker 2: the slimiest, dirtiest, fake news people that are out to
0:58
Speaker 2: get you every But that briefing is just a tiny
1:03
Speaker 2: fraction of the job. They didn't realize the rest of
1:05
Speaker 2: the day. For a press secretary White House press secretary.
1:08
Speaker 3: It is just.
1:09
Speaker 2: Brutal all day long. You've got all these departments you
1:13
Speaker 2: got to run, you got to meet with everybody all
1:15
Speaker 2: day long, gather all the information, go over everything with everybody.
1:18
Speaker 2: Just it's an intense job. And I guess she just
1:22
Speaker 2: had enough. There's nothing, you know, behind the scenes, intrigue
1:27
Speaker 2: or any She just wanted to leave. She just had
1:30
Speaker 2: her second child, got a young baby at home, want
1:33
Speaker 2: to spend more time with her. And again, it's a brutal,
1:35
Speaker 2: intense job. A lot of press secretaries leave after two years.
1:40
Speaker 2: This is a year and a half. And the only
1:43
Speaker 2: surprising part here is normally you would wait till after
1:46
Speaker 2: the midterms and get through that and then do it
1:49
Speaker 2: towards the end of the year. That would be normal.
1:53
Speaker 2: But she just wanted to get out fast. President Trump,
1:57
Speaker 2: you know, loves her, praises her all the time.
2:00
Speaker 4: Line great. You know when she goes on television Fox
2:07
Speaker 4: like I mean, they dominate, they dominate. When she gets
2:10
Speaker 4: up there with that beautiful face and those lips that
2:12
Speaker 4: don't stop but up up like a little machine gun.
2:17
Speaker 2: Well she is good. Her training is radio. Years in radio,
2:20
Speaker 2: worked for Howie car for years and it did run
2:24
Speaker 2: for Congress once. Expect her to do that again. She
2:27
Speaker 2: will run for something again. She's great with the reporters.
2:31
Speaker 5: Many have a criminal record versus those who are just
2:34
Speaker 5: in the country illegally, all of them because they illegally
2:36
Speaker 5: broke our nation's laws, and therefore they are criminals as
2:38
Speaker 5: far as this administration goes. I know the last administration
2:41
Speaker 5: didn't see it that way. So it's a big culture
2:43
Speaker 5: shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our
2:45
Speaker 5: immigration laws as a criminal. But that's exactly what they are.
2:49
Speaker 5: They all have a criminal records and welcome to if
2:51
Speaker 5: they broke our nation's laws. Yes they are criminal.
2:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you see, give a nice explanation, logical explanation,
2:57
Speaker 2: and then these vultures. I how many times can you
3:03
Speaker 2: sit through that every day? So a lot of press
3:06
Speaker 2: secretaries don't last more than a year and a half,
3:07
Speaker 2: for two years, But who will replace her? Well, all
3:11
Speaker 2: the President's putting together a list of names. High on
3:13
Speaker 2: the list. High on the list is Elena Haba, who
3:19
Speaker 2: was he had nominated her to be the US attorney
3:22
Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Elena Haba high on the list. Breitbart
3:28
Speaker 2: Washington Bureau chief Matthew Boyle. He's on the list, and
3:32
Speaker 2: there's a few others they're looking at. No word yet.
3:35
Speaker 2: There's an assistant press secretaries and all that. They'll do
3:38
Speaker 2: it in the meantime. And remember when she went on
3:40
Speaker 2: attorney leave. A couple of times they just had cabinet
3:43
Speaker 2: members fill in jd vance one day. Ruby Rubio was
3:47
Speaker 2: brilliant at it. He's a little too busy to do
3:50
Speaker 2: that every day, but Rubio was great. Scott Bessett was
3:53
Speaker 2: great at it. So you'll see a new White House
3:55
Speaker 2: Press Secretory preacist. Caroline Levitt is thirty two. She's married
4:02
Speaker 2: to a guy. He's about sixty. There's a big age difference,
4:05
Speaker 2: big age difference, very wealthy, successful real estate guy, investor.
4:09
Speaker 2: She's married to him, and again, just had a second child,
4:13
Speaker 2: young baby at home. So twenty eight, she's twenty eight.
4:17
Speaker 2: Oh no, wait a minute, twenty eight, twenty eight to sixty,
4:21
Speaker 2: that's an even bigger way. That's a thirty two year
4:23
Speaker 2: age difference. That's a big age difference. But I mean
4:28
Speaker 2: it seems like a really good marriage, solid marriage. Now
4:32
Speaker 2: she will run for something in the future. You'll see
4:35
Speaker 2: her run for something in the future. So we'll see
4:38
Speaker 2: who the president picks. It'll it'll probably be a couple
4:40
Speaker 2: of weeks. Will the President run for a third term?
4:46
Speaker 2: He does throw that out. He has hats with Trump
4:49
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight on it. He loves to throw that
4:51
Speaker 2: out because you crazy sick Trump derangement syndrome people. Yeah,
4:57
Speaker 2: it's okay not to like President Trump, but that Trump
5:00
Speaker 2: arrangement syndrome where you go nuts and start yelling no Kings, Nazi. Oh.
5:04
Speaker 2: He loves to rally up.
5:05
Speaker 5: You know.
5:06
Speaker 2: It's like when you're in the zoo and you like
5:07
Speaker 2: to rattle the cage a little and watch the animal
5:10
Speaker 2: go nuts. That's what he likes to do. So, but
5:13
Speaker 2: people ask him all the time about a third term.
5:16
Speaker 6: Everybody asked me that question, and you know that the
5:19
Speaker 6: law's very strong on that. I'd love to run, but
5:23
Speaker 6: the law's very strong. I get asked by every well,
5:25
Speaker 6: even tonight, they're screaming at the event twenty twenty eight. Now,
5:29
Speaker 6: everybody wants me to do it, but the law's very strong.
5:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he'll keep taunting everybody with that. Hey, by
5:36
Speaker 2: the way, he's coming to Long Island tomorrow. If you're
5:38
Speaker 2: in Long Island, if you're going to Long Island Tomorrow's Friday,
5:42
Speaker 2: it's going to be a traffic nightmare at times. He's
5:46
Speaker 2: going to an event that starts at three o'clock. He
5:52
Speaker 2: loves Bruce Blakeman. He would endorse Bruce Blakeman in a second,
5:56
Speaker 2: but I guess they've studied the matter and decided he
5:59
Speaker 2: should not just out and out endorse Bruce Blakeman. If
6:02
Speaker 2: that gould Hell obviously to help a lot of people,
6:04
Speaker 2: but it might hurt with other people. So there will
6:07
Speaker 2: be no formal announcement endorsement, but this will be kind
6:10
Speaker 2: of an endorsement. He's going to come out to peer
6:12
Speaker 2: with Blakeman. He's going to make a big, big speech.
6:16
Speaker 2: Its gonna be a huge audience. It will be like
6:17
Speaker 2: a thousand people in the audience. It'll be it'll be
6:20
Speaker 2: a great speech about law enforcement, about the progress they've
6:24
Speaker 2: made on crime, and about the new FBI report, new
6:29
Speaker 2: crime statistics will come out, so it'll be it'll be
6:32
Speaker 2: a pretty important event. It's going to be Long Island
6:35
Speaker 2: has a magnificent police Academy Police Training Center Nassau County.
6:42
Speaker 2: It's just just east of Garden City near Eisenhower Park,
6:46
Speaker 2: So that's where the President will be. He's going to
6:49
Speaker 2: land at Kennedy Airport around two o'clock and then go
6:52
Speaker 2: from Kennedy out to this police academy. Now that's going
6:57
Speaker 2: to be a traffic nightmare. Although I'm not sure if
6:59
Speaker 2: they're gonna use helicopter, but most likely it'll be the motorcade.
7:02
Speaker 2: So there'll be a lot of street closures, and then
7:05
Speaker 2: starts at three o'clock, massive speech, huge crowd. I don't know,
7:10
Speaker 2: figure gets done at four four point thirty. So by
7:12
Speaker 2: the time he's ready to leave, it's going to be
7:14
Speaker 2: rush hour in Long Island. So traffic nightmare tomorrow. He's
7:18
Speaker 2: going to go from that place near Eisenhower Park back
7:22
Speaker 2: to Kennedy Airport, So just beware of that tomorrow if
7:26
Speaker 2: you're on Long Island. Hey, the President with the switching
7:30
Speaker 2: of Air Force One, he was in Turkey, he was
7:32
Speaker 2: going to leave. They said there was a threat against
7:35
Speaker 2: Air Force one, and that's why they switched to the
7:38
Speaker 2: old Air Force one because it had better missile defense
7:41
Speaker 2: systems on it. And remember they smuggled him out of
7:44
Speaker 2: the Air Force one, put him on a military plane
7:46
Speaker 2: and knuck him out of Turkey. What was the actual threat.
7:50
Speaker 2: It was from Israeli intelligence. Israeli intelligence found out there
7:56
Speaker 2: was a threat against Air Force one that day from
7:58
Speaker 2: a shoulder fire missile, which would be somebody on the ground.
8:03
Speaker 2: It would be as the plane took off, shoulder fired missile.
8:07
Speaker 2: They're saying an unidentified person was actually seen with a
8:11
Speaker 2: shoulder fired missile somewhere in the area. This was the
8:14
Speaker 2: annual annual conference of NATO Heads of State and now
8:19
Speaker 2: US intelligence. The CIA says they don't put a lot
8:22
Speaker 2: of credibility on that threat. But if you had to do,
8:28
Speaker 2: who would you if you had to decide, who would
8:31
Speaker 2: you go with, Israeli intelligence or the CIA. I remember,
8:35
Speaker 2: the CIA has been wrong about a lot of things.
8:38
Speaker 2: Boy have they gotten a lot of stuff wrong through
8:40
Speaker 2: the years, including weapons of mass destruction and all that.
8:44
Speaker 2: Israeli intelligence pretty good. So that's the reason they made
8:49
Speaker 2: the switch. The president snuck off the plane and took
8:51
Speaker 2: a military jet. Now they did let the plane take
8:55
Speaker 2: off with reporters senior aides. If there was such a
8:58
Speaker 2: such a threat on the plane that was being threatened
9:03
Speaker 2: with Scott Bessen, Marco Rubio, Stephen Scheng A lot of
9:07
Speaker 2: staff Dan Scavino. Oh, actually no Scavino. You know what,
9:10
Speaker 2: it's fascinating. So with this big threat, the President snuck
9:15
Speaker 2: off to get on a safer plane. He took Pete
9:17
Speaker 2: Hegxas with him and Dan Scaffino, Dance Scavino, deputy chief
9:22
Speaker 2: of staff. So that was the threat. No more word
9:27
Speaker 2: on whether they actually caught anybody or found anybody. Hey,
9:30
Speaker 2: when it comes to Iran, here's what they're also detecting.
9:35
Speaker 2: Remember this is Israeli intelligence, US intelligence. Israeli intelligence is
9:39
Speaker 2: very good over there. What they're detecting now is that
9:44
Speaker 2: this is just sort of coasting along now in a stalemate.
9:48
Speaker 2: Although Iran suffering unbelievable suffering with their economy. They're absolutely
9:54
Speaker 2: broken out of money. Inflation is three hundred percent in
9:58
Speaker 2: Iran right now, are starving. I don't know how they're
10:01
Speaker 2: going to survive like this, but apparently what they're plotting
10:04
Speaker 2: and planning. They've got some missiles left, some that were hit,
10:09
Speaker 2: they buried in an air strike. They're going to dug
10:13
Speaker 2: them out of the ground. What they want to do
10:16
Speaker 2: is just before the midterms, Iran wants to launch a
10:20
Speaker 2: huge counter offensive against the US. Just fire anything and everything.
10:24
Speaker 2: They desperately want the Republicans to lose in the midterms.
10:29
Speaker 2: They want the Democrats to take over Congress, and they're
10:34
Speaker 2: thinking is the Democrats, and they're not wrong about this,
10:37
Speaker 2: will go crazy trying to stop the war once they
10:40
Speaker 2: if if they had control of Congress, they'll pass a
10:43
Speaker 2: million laws that Iran wars illegal and has to stop immediately.
10:47
Speaker 2: They'll impeach President Trump every day of the week. So
10:50
Speaker 2: that's what Iran's counting on. So just before the midterms,
10:54
Speaker 2: they're plotting a massive, aggressive attack. Whatever they got they'll
10:58
Speaker 2: throw at us in an attempt to screw up President
11:03
Speaker 2: Trump for the midterms. A lot of people in the
11:07
Speaker 2: military aware of this and figuring out now how to
11:12
Speaker 2: just crush that and stop that before it happens. Straight
11:16
Speaker 2: of hor Moose will keep that closed for two reasons.
11:20
Speaker 2: One is it completely shuts down a RAN's economy. They
11:25
Speaker 2: have absolutely no income or revenue with the Straight ofh
11:28
Speaker 2: hor Moose closed. And the other thing is price of
11:31
Speaker 2: oil has not reacted that badly to that. Let me
11:34
Speaker 2: just check again, price oil right now eighty one dollars
11:38
Speaker 2: a barrel. That's a little higher than usual, but that's
11:40
Speaker 2: not real high. That's not bad. That's way below the
11:44
Speaker 2: Joe Biden years. Eighty one dollars of barrel's not bad.
11:47
Speaker 2: I know it looks like five dollars a gallon here.
11:49
Speaker 2: That's just here in New York or California. That's all
11:53
Speaker 2: state local tax. Rest of the country it's around three
11:56
Speaker 2: ninety four dollars a gallon. So the other reason besides
12:01
Speaker 2: we can withstand this oil wise, is we're the biggest
12:04
Speaker 2: producer of oil in the world. Right now, we are
12:07
Speaker 2: pumping so much oil thanks to President Trump, he opened
12:10
Speaker 2: up the drilling everywhere. We are pumping so much oil
12:13
Speaker 2: that we could never even use it all. We've got
12:16
Speaker 2: more oil than we can ever used, and so we're
12:19
Speaker 2: becoming a big exporter of oil, bigger than Saudi Arabia, bigger.
12:23
Speaker 2: Nobody has more oil than we do, and nobody can
12:25
Speaker 2: export more oil than we do. So with the Straight
12:28
Speaker 2: of horn Moose closed, more and more countries are now
12:32
Speaker 2: buying from US, so it's increasing business into the US.
12:36
Speaker 2: Countries from all over the world are starting to buy
12:38
Speaker 2: from US because they can't get any out of the
12:40
Speaker 2: Straight of hor Moose now, and they're also starting to
12:42
Speaker 2: think it's better to buy from US because the Straight
12:44
Speaker 2: of hor Moose, even in the future, will be unreliable
12:48
Speaker 2: and they better start buying from US. So it's helped
12:50
Speaker 2: the US a lot. Now. The other thing is, within
12:53
Speaker 2: two years, there will be no more oil in the
12:56
Speaker 2: Straight of Hormose. We won't need it anymore. All the
12:58
Speaker 2: Gulf States right now are prepared pring to totally ditch
13:02
Speaker 2: the Straight of hor Moose. They're building pipelines frantically, day
13:05
Speaker 2: and night, building pipelines to other places. So the oil
13:09
Speaker 2: within two years will becoming out of the Gulf States
13:12
Speaker 2: without ever needing the straight ohr Moose, and Iran will
13:15
Speaker 2: never again be able to use it as a threat.
13:18
Speaker 2: Hey CBS, now you know there's this paramount Skydance merger,
13:23
Speaker 2: and everybody's not everybody these crazy left wing politicians, Attorney
13:31
Speaker 2: general and all the crazy activists yelling and screaming it'll
13:35
Speaker 2: be a monopoly. There won't be a monopoly. It'll be
13:38
Speaker 2: like the number five streaming service merging with the number
13:42
Speaker 2: twelve streaming service. It's not going to be a monopoly
13:44
Speaker 2: of any kind. But they're trying to stop this. One
13:48
Speaker 2: reason is CNN is involved in this merger, so I
13:51
Speaker 2: guess they think there'll be some kind of control over
13:54
Speaker 2: it there. But the Attorney General here in New York
13:59
Speaker 2: tis James, the Attorney General in California. They're all threatening
14:03
Speaker 2: Paramount sky Dance and coming after them. So what do
14:09
Speaker 2: you do about that if you're if you're the chairman
14:12
Speaker 2: putting together this merger. Well, they did say it's very
14:16
Speaker 2: possible they'll move CBS out of New York once. If
14:19
Speaker 2: they actually moved CBS out of New York state, well,
14:24
Speaker 2: then the New York Attorney General has no jurisdiction and
14:26
Speaker 2: can't do anything. And just talk about moving them out
14:29
Speaker 2: of California too. I don't think that's drastic because if
14:33
Speaker 2: you move them out of CBS and out of California,
14:35
Speaker 2: you save a fortune. It's a lot cheaper to operate
14:38
Speaker 2: somewhere else, a lot cheaper. Do you move it to
14:43
Speaker 2: another state, you're saving a fortune. So it's not a
14:48
Speaker 2: crazy thing to do. And these businesses like CBS, they
14:51
Speaker 2: don't make the money they used to. Viewership is way down,
14:54
Speaker 2: revenue is way down. CBS course, CBS building on sixth Avenue,
15:01
Speaker 2: and then there's the massive facility fifty seventh and twelfth.
15:05
Speaker 2: You know that you always drive by that CBS building,
15:08
Speaker 2: which is quite a crazy building. I used to work there.
15:10
Speaker 2: It's an old dairy farm, dairy factory or whatever it was.
15:15
Speaker 2: And then they cut two or three buildings together. It's
15:16
Speaker 2: a ridiculous maze. And if you're in the studio and
15:20
Speaker 2: you try to go to the men's room, you got
15:23
Speaker 2: a twist and turn on a million hallways and then
15:25
Speaker 2: nobody can refine their way back. It's like a hospital.
15:28
Speaker 2: They got a paint lines on the floor so you
15:30
Speaker 2: know where to go. So they could close that down,
15:35
Speaker 2: they could move it. And now I remember CNN in
15:37
Speaker 2: its early years came out of Atlanta. It's easy to do.
15:42
Speaker 2: It became a big, successful, big national network operating out
15:46
Speaker 2: of Atlanta. You don't have to be in New York.
15:48
Speaker 2: And a lot of people say that CNN was better
15:52
Speaker 2: in Atlanta because it's when they got out of there
15:54
Speaker 2: and came to New York. That's when they got more
15:56
Speaker 2: crazy left wing. You know, when they were broadcasting from Atlanta,
16:00
Speaker 2: it was in the heartland real America. They were more
16:03
Speaker 2: common sense. When they came to Manhattan, you know, Upper
16:07
Speaker 2: West Side, where CNN was all of a sudden it
16:10
Speaker 2: became more left wing. Everybody hired was more left wing.
16:13
Speaker 2: A lot of that bias came from leaving Atlanta. Hey,
16:16
Speaker 2: so we got a lot to get to. We'll get
16:18
Speaker 2: the crazy Mom, Donnie, and a whole lot more just
16:21
Speaker 2: ahead on seven ten WR. Mark Simone here nine to noon,
16:26
Speaker 2: every day, nine am to noon every day, right here
16:30
Speaker 2: on seven ten WR.
16:32
Speaker 7: It's the Mark Simone Show Live from the WR Life
16:36
Speaker 7: Back Studios.
16:39
Speaker 2: Well, hey, there's a massive scheme the Justice Department bust
16:43
Speaker 2: it up.
16:44
Speaker 6: You know.
16:45
Speaker 2: You know the women that they want to get a
16:47
Speaker 2: green card, and you can do that by marrying an American,
16:52
Speaker 2: and you occasionally run into a woman like looking for
16:55
Speaker 2: some guy to marry and get her green card. Well,
16:57
Speaker 2: there's this big organization that's set up. It was just
17:00
Speaker 2: a sham marriage. You didn't really have to get married.
17:03
Speaker 2: They'd pay a guy thirty thousand dollars to pretend to
17:08
Speaker 2: get married to you. You didn't actually have to marry
17:11
Speaker 2: the woman. And the woman I guess these are Chinese
17:15
Speaker 2: nationals who wanted to frauduley obtain green cards, and they
17:19
Speaker 2: would have to pay one hundred thousand dollars per green card,
17:23
Speaker 2: and if you paid it to these slimy group of
17:26
Speaker 2: people that'd set this. This was a multi billion dollar
17:28
Speaker 2: business they set up. So you pay one hundred thousand,
17:31
Speaker 2: they'd arrange a fake wedding with some guy. They'd take
17:35
Speaker 2: pictures of your fake wedding. They would go to a restaurant,
17:39
Speaker 2: they take a picture of you on a date with
17:41
Speaker 2: him in a restaurant. They'd put together all these staged pictures.
17:44
Speaker 2: Then the guy would have to stick around long enough
17:46
Speaker 2: to get you through the process, help you with the
17:50
Speaker 2: paperwork and getting the green card and all that. It
17:53
Speaker 2: was quite a scam. Although it's not a bad deal
17:57
Speaker 2: for a guy thirty thousand, it's a totally fake sham marriage.
18:00
Speaker 2: You don't really have to get married. You've got to
18:02
Speaker 2: pose for a lot of pictures. I guess they I
18:06
Speaker 2: don't know. They take you out to Leonard's, a great
18:09
Speaker 2: neck and stage of fake wedding, and then I guess
18:11
Speaker 2: they do it with a fifty couples. They take it
18:15
Speaker 2: to a Russo's by the Bay and Queens and fake
18:18
Speaker 2: a wedding. I don't know how they caught him. Maybe
18:22
Speaker 2: immigration officials noticed that the like seventy five different women
18:25
Speaker 2: had the same guy in the picture, but Todd Blanche.
18:28
Speaker 2: They busted up, busted up this whole thing.
18:31
Speaker 1: The facilitators of the scheme would then prepare and submit
18:34
Speaker 1: fraudulent green card applications and work with the couples through
18:38
Speaker 1: the immigration process, submitting photographs, opening joint bank accounts, mobile
18:44
Speaker 1: phone accounts, all to obtain green cards to allow them
18:48
Speaker 1: to stay in this country. But that's illegal.
18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was a sham marriage. I mean, I
18:54
Speaker 2: guess for the guy, it's not too bad. You just
18:57
Speaker 2: pretend you're married. You're not actually getting married, so you
19:00
Speaker 2: have to get yelled at day and night by your wife.
19:03
Speaker 2: She needs you for this whole process. So for once,
19:06
Speaker 2: she's not going to yell at you for leaving your
19:07
Speaker 2: socks on the floor, not going to yellow you because
19:09
Speaker 2: they're eating the wrong thing, not going to but Blanche.
19:11
Speaker 2: Good for him.
19:12
Speaker 1: This scheme was not a quick, fly by night operation,
19:17
Speaker 1: but rather a years long, multimillion dollar cottage industry to
19:21
Speaker 1: criminally assist people who would not or legally could not
19:25
Speaker 1: otherwise become citizens of the United States.
19:29
Speaker 2: So busted up finished. Good news. Hey, we're talking me
19:33
Speaker 2: before about the sky Dance Paramount the merger CBS all this,
19:37
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention CNN in the Paramount Skydance merger.
19:42
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a sticky wicket there, because
19:45
Speaker 2: you know, all the crazy left wingers, protesters, government Democrats say, oh,
19:52
Speaker 2: you better not touch CNN. The truth is Paramount sky
19:55
Speaker 2: Dance acquiring Warner Brothers Discovery. They don't actually want CNN.
20:00
Speaker 2: It's kind of a worthless thing. It's it gets no ratings,
20:03
Speaker 2: nobody watches it. It's a pain in the neck. It's
20:05
Speaker 2: a headache. And you might say a big TV network, yeah,
20:08
Speaker 2: but with three hundred thousand people watching, it's not a
20:11
Speaker 2: big deal. They would love to get rid of it.
20:13
Speaker 2: It's actually for sale if anybody's interested in CNN. So
20:17
Speaker 2: normally sometimes you'll find a big zillionaire hedge fund, some
20:23
Speaker 2: sort of guy who loves the limelight would love to
20:27
Speaker 2: buy you or something like that. You can buy CNN.
20:29
Speaker 2: The only thing is they don't want to give it away.
20:32
Speaker 2: They're going to charge a few billion for it. It's
20:34
Speaker 2: a pain in the neck thing to own because you're
20:37
Speaker 2: going to have to fire a lot of people probably,
20:40
Speaker 2: and again it gets no ratings. And you could say, well,
20:43
Speaker 2: I'll buy it and I'll build it up and get
20:44
Speaker 2: it some rate. But cable news is kind of dying anyway.
20:48
Speaker 2: It's a dying field. A lot of people that used
20:51
Speaker 2: to watch all that cable news now watch other things
20:54
Speaker 2: or stream or you know, YouTube or rumble or all
20:59
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So I don't know who's I
21:01
Speaker 2: don't know if they want to sell it, but there's
21:03
Speaker 2: not a buyer on the horizon. Nobody talking to them
21:06
Speaker 2: about it. So, hey, Todd Blanche good with the marriage fraud.
21:10
Speaker 2: Now he's got to do more work on these medicaid centers.
21:14
Speaker 2: This medicaid fraud is one of the most unbelievable schemes.
21:17
Speaker 2: They uncovered hundreds of millions of this fraud Minnesota. They're
21:20
Speaker 2: uncovering like almost one hundred million now here in New
21:23
Speaker 2: York and Queens. The center would apply for Medicaid reimbursement
21:29
Speaker 2: for all the patients they're treating, and the government would
21:32
Speaker 2: just mail them the checks. There is like one center's
21:35
Speaker 2: got ten million coming in for all the Medicaid patients
21:38
Speaker 2: they're handling. And then you know these Nick Shirley type reporters,
21:42
Speaker 2: just kids, they would go visit the center. The address
21:45
Speaker 2: that's on the thing, and see it's a closed storefront.
21:49
Speaker 2: Not only aren't they not treating one hundreds of patients,
21:52
Speaker 2: they're not doing anything. It's not it's not even a business.
21:54
Speaker 2: It's just a closed, empty storefront. You think you'd think
21:58
Speaker 2: sixty minutes there's some news organization would have uncovered this,
22:01
Speaker 2: but they look the other way on it. Now it
22:03
Speaker 2: turns out one of these medicaid places that they built
22:09
Speaker 2: thirty two million in these crazy things, turns out they're
22:13
Speaker 2: a big donor to Kathy Hockel. Now she's going to
22:16
Speaker 2: have a problem with this. She's going to have a
22:18
Speaker 2: problem with this in the upcoming election, especially she ever
22:21
Speaker 2: debates Blakeman. There's a lot of cases of shady donors
22:25
Speaker 2: with Kathy Hockel, a lot of cases of contracts that
22:28
Speaker 2: got handed out to donors, things that they were done
22:31
Speaker 2: for donors. It's not a good look. So she's gonna
22:34
Speaker 2: have a big problem with that coming up. Hey, crazy
22:38
Speaker 2: little mom. Donnie finally taking a vacation from what. I
22:43
Speaker 2: don't know what he's taking a vacation from, but well,
22:47
Speaker 2: we'll get this. He we heard about the wife's crazy vacation.
22:50
Speaker 2: We'll hear about his crazy vacation. Coming up. We'll take
22:53
Speaker 2: some calls too, coming up. Eight hundred three to two
22:56
Speaker 2: one zero seven to ten is the number.
23:00
Speaker 1: Mister New York marks them all.
23:04
Speaker 3: Alone.
23:05
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
23:09
Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
23:12
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten AOC. You know, she's been engaged
23:17
Speaker 2: to this guy for years. You know, normally how long
23:22
Speaker 2: did you get engaged? A year, year and a half,
23:24
Speaker 2: six months, and it's been years and years. This guy
23:28
Speaker 2: doesn't exactly want to pull the trigger there. Well, there's
23:30
Speaker 2: rumors everywhere now that they broke up, that he left,
23:35
Speaker 2: that's the word, you know. I remember she made a
23:36
Speaker 2: big deal out of putting her eggs, freezing her eggs. Now,
23:41
Speaker 2: that would make sense. If he's leaving and they're not
23:44
Speaker 2: getting married and she's not gonna have children that way,
23:46
Speaker 2: freezing her eggs, that would make sense. She lives in
23:50
Speaker 2: DC and in Queen. She was leaving her Queen's apartment
23:53
Speaker 2: building yesterday walking her French bulldog. Picture her with a bulldog.
24:01
Speaker 2: Usually the owners, you know that looks like the dog,
24:04
Speaker 2: They pick a dog similar to them in personality and
24:07
Speaker 2: temperament a French bulldog and what is it? I know
24:10
Speaker 2: what a bulldog is. What is a French bulldog?
24:14
Speaker 3: I don't know.
24:14
Speaker 2: But she's walking the dog and they tried to ask
24:18
Speaker 2: her did you break up with your boyfriend? And mistransparency
24:21
Speaker 2: won't answer.
24:22
Speaker 8: Are you and Riley Roberts still together?
24:24
Speaker 7: I don't comment on my private life, but thank you.
24:27
Speaker 7: Your mother wants such.
24:29
Speaker 3: She loves Riley and wants to see you guys get married.
24:32
Speaker 5: Is she gonna get her wish?
24:34
Speaker 7: I can.
24:35
Speaker 2: I don't comment on my private life, but thank you.
24:38
Speaker 4: Is there anything else well you can tell us about
24:41
Speaker 4: the relationship.
24:42
Speaker 2: No, I'm thinking here's a blabbermouth, never shuts up to
24:48
Speaker 2: give her your opinion on everything on earth? You ask
24:50
Speaker 2: one normal question, did you break up with your boyfriend?
24:52
Speaker 2: I do not comment ever on my personal life. His
24:57
Speaker 2: name is Riley Roberts. Reason right there to break up?
25:01
Speaker 2: Can't you can't marry? That's not well, you see, that
25:04
Speaker 2: would screw up. It's Alexandra of Cassio Cortez. If it's
25:09
Speaker 2: Alexandra Roberts doesn't sound ethnic enough for her. You know
25:14
Speaker 2: she's got to I gotta sound something else. Remember she
25:17
Speaker 2: claims she was a from the Bronx. She's from the
25:20
Speaker 2: bron turns out she's from Yorktown Heights. And you don't
25:23
Speaker 2: want to be missus Roberts. That's that's too American, too normal.
25:28
Speaker 2: Uh Riley Riley Roberts. That's that's not a great name. Anyway.
25:33
Speaker 2: Let's go to let's take some calls. Let's go to
25:35
Speaker 2: John and Florida. John, how you doing?
25:39
Speaker 9: Mark?
25:39
Speaker 3: Love the Extra Hour, Rita Crosby, tell Trump to pick
25:43
Speaker 3: Rita Crossby, She'll pick those waters in line or want
25:47
Speaker 3: to be a two year job?
25:48
Speaker 2: And Rita Crosby. Oh, he meets Rita.
25:53
Speaker 3: Cosby Cosby, I'm sorry, correct.
25:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you can picka. I think he
25:59
Speaker 2: needs buddy a little more. You fill in the blank. There.
26:04
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
26:08
Speaker 3: Good morning? Mark. I'm doing very well, Thank you. Mark.
26:11
Speaker 3: There's a report and deadline which says Barry Diller is
26:15
Speaker 3: interested in buying CNN. Now, Mark, wasn't Barry Diller the
26:19
Speaker 3: founder of the Fox broadcast network.
26:21
Speaker 4: No?
26:22
Speaker 2: Oh, well, no, he was a big broadcast executive. He
26:25
Speaker 2: was at ABC for years with the ABC TV network
26:28
Speaker 2: and it's heyday. And then we did a lot of stuff.
26:32
Speaker 2: And when Rupert Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch was the founder of
26:35
Speaker 2: the Fox Network. He started the Fox Network. It was
26:39
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about Fox News. He started a regular
26:42
Speaker 2: TV network and they were going to do primetime stuff.
26:45
Speaker 2: That's you know, Channel five here in New York. And
26:48
Speaker 2: he then brought in Barry Dillar to run the network
26:50
Speaker 2: for him, and Dillar did a great job. He did
26:54
Speaker 2: get you know, when he launched it with Murdoch, they
26:57
Speaker 2: did come up a lot of big shows. Remember Married
26:59
Speaker 2: with Children and all that. That kind of puts him
27:01
Speaker 2: on the map. But he's a very experienced programming guy.
27:05
Speaker 2: He's run networks before. If he wants CNN, he's the
27:08
Speaker 2: kind of guy that could fix it up. But and
27:12
Speaker 2: good question, Dave, But but he's not a news guy.
27:17
Speaker 2: I don't think he cares about news. If he's going
27:18
Speaker 2: to buy CNN, it's probably to do something else, not news.
27:23
Speaker 2: CNN is a total disaster as a news network. You know,
27:26
Speaker 2: the average of viewership at any given time is like
27:29
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand people. Nobody's watching it. But it's a
27:32
Speaker 2: network you could run other stuff on it, you could
27:35
Speaker 2: run this regular programming on it. Maybe he's got some
27:38
Speaker 2: idea what he wants to run there. Let's go to
27:40
Speaker 2: David and Queen's David. How you doing, Hey, Mark?
27:44
Speaker 7: Good morning Mark. This phony Bologny Cortee is walking around
27:49
Speaker 7: with a twenty five hundred dollars French bulldog. Someone should
27:52
Speaker 7: tell her is about eight hundred thousand straight dogs in
27:55
Speaker 7: New York City. And when you go on her website,
27:58
Speaker 7: I've never seen this before. Mark, is a warning to
28:01
Speaker 7: people who are going to call the office that they
28:03
Speaker 7: will be prosecuted if they make any threats to her
28:07
Speaker 7: or a staffer. And this woman is a fake, phony fraud.
28:10
Speaker 2: Well, if they put that up on the website, that
28:12
Speaker 2: means they're getting threats all the time.
28:14
Speaker 7: So right, And there's actually nothing on the website about
28:18
Speaker 7: her years spent in Yorktown Heights.
28:20
Speaker 2: Well, I'm supposed to mention that she's from the Bronx,
28:23
Speaker 2: don't mention that she's actually from New York Town Heights.
28:25
Speaker 2: But if they put that up on the website means
28:28
Speaker 2: they've been getting a lot of threats. Because if you're
28:29
Speaker 2: going to call her up the threat in her first place,
28:31
Speaker 2: she goes to the website to find the phone number.
28:34
Speaker 2: But the French bulldog, that's interesting. I would think the
28:38
Speaker 2: French bulldog is kind of embarrassed to be seen with her,
28:43
Speaker 2: kind of embarrassed to be walking around with her. Let's
28:45
Speaker 2: go to Max in Manhattan.
28:47
Speaker 3: Max.
28:48
Speaker 2: How you doing?
28:49
Speaker 3: Hello? Mark, Thank you for taking my call.
28:52
Speaker 9: Why can we not look up all the garbage on el, sayed,
28:57
Speaker 9: all the garbage where it displays his connections the Muslim
29:00
Speaker 9: brotherhood and care sure that that would work to get
29:03
Speaker 9: him out. You can look it up, yes, but someone
29:08
Speaker 9: like you who would have to put the word out
29:10
Speaker 9: there at the station.
29:12
Speaker 2: Uh, we don't sit around all day long looking up Alsaia.
29:16
Speaker 2: There's plenty of bad stuff about him. You know, you
29:18
Speaker 2: don't need to look too far. What did he say yesterday?
29:23
Speaker 2: He's running against Mike Rodgers, who's a pretty normal, solid candidate.
29:27
Speaker 2: He threatened him to.
29:28
Speaker 6: Uh.
29:29
Speaker 2: Oh, he wants to He wants a football game, tackle football,
29:32
Speaker 2: no pads. I mean, he's just a silly guy. It's
29:36
Speaker 2: just silly he wants He's the guy who wants to
29:39
Speaker 2: do away with football fireworks the fourth of July, and
29:42
Speaker 2: he said to Rogers, since you're afraid to debate me. Uh,
29:49
Speaker 2: tackle football, not touch tackle football, no pads like we
29:52
Speaker 2: used to play when we were kids. I'd be happy
29:55
Speaker 2: to show you how much I love football. All right, Well,
29:57
Speaker 2: first of all, Rogers not afraid to debate him. But
30:00
Speaker 2: Rogers would love to debate him because that would be
30:02
Speaker 2: probably the end of him. Let's go to Rich Myrtle Beach. Rich,
30:06
Speaker 2: how you doing.
30:07
Speaker 3: Hot hot hot one on nine Monday one fifteen Tuesday,
30:12
Speaker 3: nine yesterday. Well, what do you do today?
30:15
Speaker 2: What do you do when it's one fifteen? You just
30:17
Speaker 2: don't go out right?
30:20
Speaker 3: Well, what happens is it usually hits about one hundred
30:23
Speaker 3: and four by noon, so you got to leave the
30:25
Speaker 3: pool and just go in the house and you know,
30:27
Speaker 3: practice guitar work in the computer or do that kind
30:30
Speaker 3: of stuff, because you can't shit out here, even in
30:32
Speaker 3: the shade under the umbrella, if there's no breeze, you
30:34
Speaker 3: just sit here and bake like you're in the oven.
30:36
Speaker 2: All right. For those of you thinking I'll move to Florida,
30:38
Speaker 2: I'll move just where are you South Carolina? If you're thinking, yeah, Myrtle,
30:43
Speaker 2: six months a year of this you want to live
30:45
Speaker 2: like that? Remember two weeks ago, we had to heat
30:47
Speaker 2: wave here and you couldn't go out. How would you
30:48
Speaker 2: like a whole six months of that?
30:52
Speaker 3: Well, it's not six months here. We get four seasons here,
30:54
Speaker 3: but it's still July in August is brutal. But you know,
30:58
Speaker 3: maybe two things. Maybe or AOC's boyfriend has had enough
31:02
Speaker 3: and said, boy, she really is a whack of doodle.
31:04
Speaker 3: I don't want anything to do with this anymore, and
31:06
Speaker 3: he left her. And the other thing is, I went
31:09
Speaker 3: to the gym yesterday morning. Our gas had kind of
31:11
Speaker 3: creeped down to three thirty one. I left the gym
31:14
Speaker 3: an hour later and was three sixty nine. Trump has
31:17
Speaker 3: to do something about the oil companies treating us like
31:21
Speaker 3: we're fawns. This is Unamerican. But your.
31:25
Speaker 2: Own oil spent four years of Biden. That's been in
31:28
Speaker 2: four fifty five dollars a gallon.
31:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, but still come on, gas never comes down the pumpets.
31:37
Speaker 3: Remember a lot of Ryan gas and oil prices.
31:41
Speaker 2: Remember a lot of that is not oil companies. Like
31:43
Speaker 2: here in New York it's like four fifty a gallon,
31:45
Speaker 2: but that's the state, local tax, all kinds of government fees.
31:49
Speaker 2: That's who he really should come down on d.
31:51
Speaker 3: No, we don't have a lot of taxes on a
31:53
Speaker 3: gas goes up thirty five cents in a couple of hours,
31:56
Speaker 3: But you've got computable with your companies.
31:59
Speaker 2: It's not the oil comp but the price came down
32:01
Speaker 2: yesterday on oil. In fact, it's down today. The price,
32:05
Speaker 2: the oil company price came down. So that's definitely got
32:08
Speaker 2: to be government stuff. You know, that's one thing the
32:11
Speaker 2: President should crack down on it during all of this government.
32:15
Speaker 2: In fact, it's the Democrats yelling about the gas prices.
32:17
Speaker 2: They're the ones causing that spike. Now the oil companies
32:20
Speaker 2: are pretty bad too, but during this they should lift
32:23
Speaker 2: all gas tax, just removed. You know, if they remove
32:26
Speaker 2: all the gas tax right now, let's say for six months,
32:29
Speaker 2: price of gas comes down a dollar fifty a gallon,
32:32
Speaker 2: sometimes two dollars a gallon, right there. One more call,
32:36
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joe and Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing, Good.
32:39
Speaker 8: Morning, Mark. Our favorite girl, Sandy Cortes. She's not a
32:43
Speaker 8: bus she doesn't have the mentality to be Sandy Cortez.
32:46
Speaker 8: A shot girl. That's an insult to the bartender. She
32:49
Speaker 8: don't have the mentality be at bartenn.
32:50
Speaker 2: So her name was Sandy. It's Alexandra Ocassio Cortez, right,
32:54
Speaker 2: she was called Sandy, Yes, Sandy, so no wonder she
32:58
Speaker 2: broke up with this guy. You imagine if she marries
32:59
Speaker 2: the it's Riley Roberts. It's Sandy and Riley Roberts. It
33:06
Speaker 2: just sounds like you're all American couple. This is the
33:08
Speaker 2: last thing she wants to sound like. Hey, we got
33:11
Speaker 2: a lot to get to coming up, so don't go away.
