  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Marc Simone? Three! The
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Marc Simone Show, now nine till noon weekdays, 710WOR. Well,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: big speech yesterday, Netanyahu at the UN, phenomenal speech, we'll
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: play you parts of it a little later. Hey, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: good news, the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, killed a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: major Hamas commander yesterday, a guy who had held seven
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Israeli hostages in the A tunnel in Gaza. The Israeli
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Defense Forces said on Thursday they had eliminated, killed Mahmoud
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Abdel Fattah Awad, a Hamas commander. This is the guy
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that held seven hostages in a Gaza tunnel during the war.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Killed in an airstrike in Gaza City. Well, good for
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the IDF. Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You remember Butler, Pennsylvania, the assassination attempt. Donald Trump hit
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in the ear. And you remember the crazed shooter, Thomas
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Matthew Crooks, fired a bunch of shots. Luckily, Trump turned
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: his head. They missed him. One hit his ear, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the others missed him. But one hit a guy behind
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: him and killed him. And another guy was hit with
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a bullet. It was taken to the hospital. He was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: just wounded. Only wounded in that failed assassination attempt, but
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: he died yesterday. He passed away. He was apparently wounded
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: badly enough that it took a long time, but he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: died yesterday. He's in his mid-70s. His name was James
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Copenhaver of Coropolis, Pennsylvania. Wounded in the assassination attempt and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: died yesterday. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I love these actresses, you know, Susan Sarandon and the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: rest of them, going out there, you know, once they
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: become completely irrelevant, and they try to look smart by
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: thinking that, by protesting the most liberal state in the world, perhaps, Israel,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that they're going to somehow make an impact. You know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: talk about artificial intelligence. These actresses are the exemplars of it. But,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, it's ironic because Israel literally is one of
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the most liberal states. I mean, they treat women, nobody
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: treats women better than they do in Israel. And these
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: are all feminists, as they proclaim. I mean, let Susan
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Sarandon go to Gaza, see how she gets treated there.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe her career will get a rebound.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very good point. Nobody worse to women than people
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in Gaza. Nobody better to women than Israel. And they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: hate it because it's a democracy. It's a real democracy.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: It's a real open.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, they employ more, you know, they employ Gazans
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in Israel. I mean, up until a certain point, maybe
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: not anymore. I mean, and also there's 19 other Arab
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: states and none of them support Gaza.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Which is interesting.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody ever asked that question. Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: No, listen, anti-Semitism is always based on absolute stupidity, anger, rage, hatred.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's not based on anything logical of any kind, but
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: good call, Mike. Thanks for calling. Let's go to, uh,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Good morning. I want everybody to notice that you're true
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to your word that you were going to, uh, be
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: here on Fridays in the fall. I appreciate that very much.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: All I did in the summer, mostly August, is take
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Fridays off. You know, I got all these weeks of vacation.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I don't like to take a whole week at a time.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So instead of taking a week, I.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Take every Friday. But people, for some reason, people are panicking.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But I love, you know, I want to tell you,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I love Jimmy Fallon so much. So much. And I
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: just want to say, Mark, that you had the perfect
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon moment.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon. Fallon. Fallon.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, I know. You said, I fell over laughing like
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I do when I'm listening to him. He needs to
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: steal this line. You said that the guy was so far,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: as far left as your salad fork.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Well, Jimmy Fallon, one of the funniest comedians.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: He's on here every night, nine to midnight. You ever
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: watch his Saturday night show, Fox News Channel, 10 o'clock?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I do. I do.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Best monologue in television. He's brilliant.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: His jackets kill me.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: All right. I wouldn't steal his wardrobe, but it's perfect
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But you stole that line. That was a great one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: You need to take credit for that one. I know
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't deliver it as well as you did, but
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: it was hysterical. I've never heard that line before.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What do you do down there in North Carolina?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's very impressive that you know
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: where the salad fork is. That was the whole point.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. You know what? People aren't sure which fork
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to use. Grab whatever fork you want. Who the hell cares?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Take any fork you want.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: No, but the salad fork is the farthest on the left.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: You're correct. And I try to always tell people that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I know. But what the hell is it? Take any
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: fork you want. What happens if you don't use the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: smallest fork for the salad? Oh, you used a bigger fork.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: That's.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Take whatever fork. Bring your own fork. Don't even touch
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: their stuff.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: But I also, if we have a minute, I want
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to implore you again that somehow I would love to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: read your Instagram feed, but somehow I got blocked and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: it could not have been but by mistake. because I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: never did anything, and I'm missing you on Instagram.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people always say that. The only way you get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: blocked is if you put up an inappropriate comment.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: That's not true, Mark. I know every comment I ever made.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Well, one of them was either not relevant to whatever
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the post was, or it was attacking somebody. No political anything.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: No, it definitely wasn't. We have common friends. We've worked
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: at the same stations together separately, of course.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We did? What station did we work at together?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Pro, but not together.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: W-P-R-O, Providence. Oh, okay.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I do not remember my gangster story about Pro-FM when
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I first worked there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: There was a gangster? P-R-O-F-M is the big, like the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Z-100 of Rhode Island.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And what happened?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So I worked on the FM side, and there was
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a man there when I first started who escorted me in,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and he looked, he was huge, and I thought, oh,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: this is so nice, he's escorting me. And it turns
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: out he was the bodyguard for the mayor. Oh.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Buddy Cianci, he did a radio show there on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the weekends.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, and it was terrifying. The guy was like, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: couldn't believe it. Every time I got there, there was
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: like armed guards. And when I figured out it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a mafia connection, it just completely freaked me out. It
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: took me a minute to figure it out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You know, when I worked there on the AM, which
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was the big station in New England, there was a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: gangster working there. He was a weekend host. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want to mention his name. I think he's dead.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's dead. But he was a gangster during
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the week and a DJ on the weekend. And everybody
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was very cautious around him.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you were talking about the mayor. No, no, no.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: This was an actual Providence.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Gangster who worked there. And there were all kinds of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: jokes about he's not only playing the hits, he's doing
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the hits or something like that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm sure you have some minions there like Chris
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: or somebody who's fabulous that could help me figure out why...
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I can't get you on Instagram.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You got blocked because you put up a comment.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That's the only way you could get blocked. Anyway, send
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: me an email. Go to my website, MarkSimone.com. Hit the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: email button. I'll get to it, and we'll look in
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to see why you got blocked. Okay. Nope, she went away.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: What happened? All right. Thanks. One more call? Yeah, let's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: go to Carl in Middletown, New Jersey. Carl?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark, how you doing?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, next time you call, could you try to have
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: more noise? You don't have enough noise behind you.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: For everybody listening, when you call, make sure there's a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lot of noise behind you and be 50 feet away
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: from the phone. That's what we like. I'm on Bluetooth.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. What would CNN waiting to see if we turned.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Up all the TVs in the airport? I can't understand
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: one word you're saying. What is it with the Bluetooth?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You know, there's like 4 million people listening. That's not
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: enough to get you to pick up the phone and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: actually talk into it. How many do we have to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: have listening before you'll actually hold the phone?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Is that better?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Much better. Now we can hear you.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I apologize to everyone listening.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: What would CNN's ratings be if we turned off all
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: the TVs in the airports?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't really affect their ratings. You know, that's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a good point you brought up. A lot of people say,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: how come every airport, why do they only show CNN
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in the airport? They pay for that. There's a company
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that runs all the airport TVs in America, and you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: pay them to put your channel on. And that's why
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: CNN does that. Now you say, well, why didn't Fox
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: pay them? Fox doesn't need to. Fox has huge ratings.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: CNN pays for that. It's a form of advertising. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that's actually paid for. It's not the airport's. decision hey
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to i'm here now
• 9:26
