FULL SHOW: ICE shooting in NYC; Gubernatorial race is neck and neck. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Friday. Yeah, it's Friday. And, well, we've got
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to. This ice shooting was an
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: awful incident last night. But what really happened, we'll get
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: to that. We'll get to Iran. We'll get to the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: firing squad that's going to take place today. Yeah, right
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: here in the United States. We'll get to Crazy Mayor Mamdani.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Bruce Blakeman. Actually, he'll be with us.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And we'll get to the debates, a couple of big
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: debates last night. Now, last night there was this ICE
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: shooting in Marble Hill in the Bronx. Naturally, Mayor Mamdani
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: jumps to conclusions, goes off half-cocked, knee-jerk reaction. The officers,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the ICE officers, now according to them, we've got to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: wait until we get the actual Full details. There might
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: be body cam footage. Apparently the New York City surveillance
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: cameras that are everywhere didn't capture the actual shooting. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: what ICE is saying, and if this is correct, it
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: was a justified shooting. You can hear a lot of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Democrats yelling and screaming about ICE. But what the officers
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: are saying is that as they tried to stop the car,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the guy in the car, who's a career criminal, with
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: gang ties, career criminal with gang ties. He did have
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: a five-year-old boy in the car with him. It's believed
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it's his son, but this is a career criminal. They've
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: dealt with him before. They're out to arrest him. Now, remember,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: when you're a career criminal, you've already tangled with law
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: enforcement a lot of times, and you've already tangled with ICE.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You tend to not want to get arrested again. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you might do anything to avoid arrest. So what they're saying,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: ICE is saying, is that as they tried to stop him,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: He took his car and tried to run them over. Now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: if that's the case, any law enforcement agency, you're justified
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in shooting. If he's trying to run you over and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: kill you with his car, you can shoot. They fired
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: seven shots. There's only one bullet hole in the windshield,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: which would indicate six shots missed the windshield. Now, naturally,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Mamdani has no use for ice, goes off half-cocked, yelling
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and screaming. about how awful ICE is.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: New York City will not stand by while ICE agents
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: shoot New Yorkers. And we will not back down from
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: time and again.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: This is an agency that must be abolished.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: ICE is not shooting New Yorkers. What they're doing is
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they're trying to arrest career criminals, illegals here illegally, who
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: are criminals committing crimes. They're not going after any New Yorkers.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They're just going after illegals. who aren't supposed to be here,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and even though they're here illegally, are committing crimes. Mamdani
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: going crazy. I've never seen him that angry. But he
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: was apparently on the phone over a two-hour period, on
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the phone with President Trump. The guy went to the hospital.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He was taken to the hospital. Apparently he wasn't hurt
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that bad because he was released from the hospital and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: then taken into ICE custody. Mamdani, one of the things
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with Trump, Mamdani demanding he be released immediately to uh...
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: new york city uh... ice is not going to do
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that uh... he's my dad for.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: The past two hours i've been on the phone with
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: president trump and secretary mullen negotiating the release of the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: man ice agents shot those negotiations were unsuccessful just moments
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: ago ice put the man in unmarked vehicle and whisked
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: him away.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which it's supposed to do. Basically, this is just
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: following the law. You've got to follow the law. Whatever U.S.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: law is, that's what you do. And Mamdani just can't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: seem to... Well, a lot of left-wingers, they think there
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: should be an exception to the law for illegal aliens.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They just think they should... There's a bunch of laws
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: there they think should not be enforced. Now, the DHS
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: will have a press conference this morning. They'll address this. Now,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: If there is body cam footage, there should be. Holman
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: had promised all these agents would wear body cameras. But
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: if that's released, that could settle the whole thing instantly. Now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: there were no witnesses. There were witnesses that got there
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: after the shooting, just after it. They saw the aftermath
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Ice agents tried to barricade the guy in his car,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: a couple of cars, and tried to drive away.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And they shot at him multiple times with his five-year-old
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: baby in the car.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: The baby's fine.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: He's apparently stable in the hospital, but we think that
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: he aligned to her to keep the neighborhood calm.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did have a child with him. His mom, Donnie.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: School had just gotten out. The street was crowded with
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: families and children. When ICE agents opened fire, a five-year-old child,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a five-year-old child was in the backseat of the car.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Thank God that child is physically unharmed.
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Now, remember, it's possible ICE is totally wrong here. There
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: was no reason to fire. We haven't seen this. body
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: cam footage we don't know exactly what happened yet but
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but uh you get these mamdani types who are running
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: around yelling and screaming that ice is a terrorist organization
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that they should be taken off the street they should
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: never be like listen to mamdani.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: We know that ice is rotten to its core today's
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: long known which is that ICE operates with impunity, that
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: have killed far more of our neighbors than they could
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: ever have claimed to save.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's just total nonsense. ICE has made almost
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a million arrests, a million. This type of incident that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: we just saw, how many out of a million? Three.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Three out of a million. It's a pretty good track record.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Very good track record. So, And I don't think he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: aware that most Americans, maybe not right in New York City,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: but most Americans want these laws enforced. They want these illegals.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And they're not just going after illegals. They're going specifically
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: after illegals who are criminals, who are committing crimes. Most
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: people want them taken off their streets. Somebody who's a robber,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a rapist, a gang member. Most people want them taken
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: out of their community. So most people are for ICE.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But again, Mamdani got really heated. yelling and screaming, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: luckily the police commissioner was there just trying to go
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: over the facts.
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: The individual who was shot has been identified as 28-year-old
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: Oscar Belgal. He has two prior arrests in New York City,
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: one for robbery in 2023, in which he pleaded guilty
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: to fourth-degree grand larceny and received five years probation, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: one for criminal sale of a controlled substance in 2025,
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: which is still pending. Based on evidence collected at the scene,
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: we know that at least one ICE agent discharged the
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: seven rounds, striking the driver in the neck below his
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: left ear.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Again, he got out of the hospital. He's now in
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: ICE custody. Well, we'll get back to this. President Trump, busy, busy,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: busy this weekend. Every day he's going to be traveling somewhere.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Today he goes to Syracuse to campaign. Now, it's believed
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that Bruce Blakeman will be there campaigning with him. We'll
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: talk to Bruce Blakeman later on the show. We'll ask him.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But it would be the first appearance together. So President
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Trump campaigning in upstate New York today. Tomorrow, Saturday, he
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: goes to Tennessee. Then he goes to Alabama. This is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: all in the same day. Then he comes back to
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the White House. Then Sunday, he'll be in Virginia. So
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it's a busy, busy campaign schedule. Midterms, the president will
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: be working his tail off, going crazy, trying to wrap
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: up the midterms for Republicans. It looks a lot better
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: for Republicans than the public polls are saying. These public polls,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the metrics are absolutely rigged. They dramatically undersample Republicans in them.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They don't use likely voters. They use what they call adults,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: which means whoever they want. They don't use the right demos.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: This is all deliberate. This is all to make it
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: look like it's hopeless. It's to suppress Republican turnout. In
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the real polls, Republicans, Democrats, it looks pretty much neck
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and neck. And there's a key factor that you got
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to look at. Since it's neck and neck, the election
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: will be determined by turnout. Whichever side gets the best
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: turnout wins. Well, right now, turnout looks like it's favoring
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Republicans because their registration is going up. Whoever recently registered
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: is most likely to turn out. Listen to the CNN pollster.
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: Okay, you see the polling over the last two years
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: really moving in the Democrats' favor, but are they actually
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: gaining in terms of registration, at least compared to where
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: we were two years ago? Well, I think this makes
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: it pretty simple, right? Pretty simple. In Pennsylvania, no.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: North Carolina, no.
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: Nevada, no. Arizona, no. There may be some tiny late
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: gains that are going on right now, right, that I
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: think over the last month maybe Democrats are getting, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: when you take the longer-term view versus the 2024 election
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: in which Republicans won all of these states, Democrats are
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: in fact... not actually gaining ground.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Wow. So interesting. Republican turnout registration is up in a
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: lot of places. So, hey, there were two big debates
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: last night. Now, nobody saw the attorney general debate because
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: it was on New York One. Nobody sees New York One.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: The Democrats are deliberately refusing to do debates. The only
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: thing they'll do is New York One. Two reasons. One,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: nobody sees it. Two, New York One is the most
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: biased left-wing media outlet in New York. Totally biased. It
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: was Letitia James, who's up for re-election. You can get
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: rid of her this year. In 25 days, you can
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: get rid of Letitia James. So she was... Debating the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Republican attorney general candidate. Very good. Would be a very
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: good attorney general. Vote for the Republican. I tell you
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: her name, but nobody can pronounce it. It's Kamaradi something.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But just look for the Republican attorney general candidate. That's
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: who you want. Letitia James. And by the way, if
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you want, you can go on YouTube or somewhere and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: see this debate last night. This Republican candidate was very
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: strong against Letitia James. hit her with some great shots
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and Letitia James getting backed into a corner, didn't know
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: what to say. So she started making up crap and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: she started spewing these old lies. At one point she
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: even said, President Trump put kids in cages. Now it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: New York One, so the moderator naturally didn't say, hey,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that's not true. That's a false story. It's not true.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It's just fake news. I mean, totally just a lie
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: out of the mouth of Letitia James. You might be saying, wait,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I saw the pictures of the kids in cages. Yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: there were pictures of that. They were all taken in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: 2008 during the Obama-Biden administration. That's who put the kids
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: in cages. Those pictures were all done by that Cleveland newspaper, 2008.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: That's the kids in cages. That was Obama and Biden
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that did that. Hey, later today, there's going to be
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a firing squad for this terrorist. This is an amazing case.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: The guy becomes a officer. He's a military guy on
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: our side, an officer, and then somehow becomes a radical terrorist.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: He goes nuts on a military base and takes a rifle,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: a gun, and starts shooting everybody. He killed 12 of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: our soldiers. He shot 20 others. I mean, he's an
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: absolute terrorist at Fort Hood. He went absolutely nuts, an
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: army major. just went crazy and started shooting our soldiers
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and killed a lot of them. Well, he was convicted
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: death penalty. They've decided in the Trump administration, Pete Hegseth
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: has recommended it. Trump has approved it. They're going to
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: have a firing squad. First one in about a hundred
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: years in the United States. There's four or five states
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that allow firing squads, but they don't really do it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: But the firing squad will be today and you can
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: watch it. They're going to stream it. It'll be on YouTube.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: It'll be on the, uh, government uh the administration streaming
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: service you can watch the firing squad today here's pete exit.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: No brainer execution by firing squad uh army major betrays
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: his country radical islamist kills a bunch of americans at
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: fort hood of course we're going to do it at
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: fort hood we're going to do it on a thursday
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: we're going to do it at one o'clock which is
• 13:05
  Speaker 11: when he did it and it's going to be soldiers
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: with rifles executing the firing squad uh it hadn't been
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: since world war ii since we've done that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Did he say thursday no does that mean they already
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: did it I don't know. But this all happened at
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Fort Hood, so he decided to do it at Fort Hood.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Makes perfect sense. That's exactly what you want to do. So, yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: there's a lot going on with the races. Oh, there
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: was another big debate last night. Michigan, you know, you
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: got the normal guy, Mike Rogers, the Republican, up against
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the radical socialist Islam, whatever he is, Mohammed Abdul El-Sayed.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And it was quite a debate they had last night. Now,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the guy is a doctor. You know, there's different kinds
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: of doctors. There's a doctor where you're actually treating patients
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and you're a doctor. Then there's the other kind of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: doctor where you're Jill Biden. She was merely an English teacher.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that. That's a great thing to be. But,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you know, he keeps saying, Dr. Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: She was an English teacher at a community college. You
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: can get a doctorate of education there. Monica Crowley is
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a doctor. She's got a PhD, but she doesn't go
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: around calling herself doctor. But some of these people who
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: aren't actually treating patients run around calling themselves doctor. But
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: there were some great moments. Here's Rogers in the debate.
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: What my friend here just wants to do is he's
• 14:26
  Speaker 12: kind of like a glitchy AI chat bot is say
• 14:29
  Speaker 12: the same thing over and over and over again.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: But let me tell you this.
• 14:34
  Speaker 12: He has taken money from groups associated and support the
• 14:37
  Speaker 12: Muslim Brotherhood. He has taken money from individuals on his
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got that problem. And here's Al-Sayed, the radical
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: nutjob Democratic candidate. I'm going to ask you again tonight,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: who do you think is a bigger threat to the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: United States, Israel or Iran?
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: You have 60 seconds.
• 14:56
  Speaker 13: And again, Rick, I'm just going to say that that's
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: a ridiculous hypothetical. Because here's what's happening right now.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Our.
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: ostensible ally in Israel.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Now, it is a ridiculous question. Who's a bigger threat,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Israel or Iran? Well, obviously Israel is no threat to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the United States. Iran is the biggest threat. It's a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: ridiculous question. He's right. But watch, he doesn't answer it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: He can't give the answer.
• 15:16
  Speaker 13: Israel has lobbied us to go to war with Iran.
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: We have watched as Iran has responded by bombing all
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: kinds of countries in the Middle East and then choking
• 15:27
  Speaker 13: off the world's energy supply. So, This is a situation
• 15:32
  Speaker 13: in which I don't think we should be apart. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: don't want to be pushed into war by Israel.
• 15:36
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Our problem is we don't have the best clip from
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the debate, which was he kept calling himself doctor. He's Dr. El-Sayed.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: As a doctor, you know, as a doctor. He's a doctor,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: as a doctor. Doing this all night. At one point,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Rogers said, keeps calling himself a doctor. Do you know
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: that if a patient came into his office and he
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: treated the patient, he could go to jail? He's not
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a licensed physician. He's got the title of doctor with
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: a Ph.D., whatever, some medical training. But he's not a physician.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: He's not a doctor. But Rogers was great. We'll see
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: what that does. The race, believe it or not, is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: neck and neck. Al-Sayed has had everybody coming in, even Obama,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: everybody coming in to campaign for him. Anyway, we've got
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a lot more to get to, lots to talk about
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: this morning. It's Mark Simone here three hours every day,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: 9 to noon, 9 to noon every day, here on 710WOR.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: More Mark.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
• 16:31
  Speaker 15: Mr.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: New York.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Friday. It's a beautiful Friday. It's not going
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to be as warm as yesterday. But a nice couple
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: of days here. Sunny around 70. Rain on Sunday. That's
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: from a tropical storm that's passing through. We'll get some
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: remnants of it. Sunday and Monday, you'll have some rain.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to rain Monday morning, but I think it
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: stops in the afternoon. Monday, Columbus Day Parade. Now, there's
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a big hurricane in the Gulf of America. First one,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: since they renamed it the Gulf of America, the big
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: hurricane coming through. The problem is nobody could tell you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the name of this hurricane. Nobody knows what the hell
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the name is. When you first look, you think it's
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Hurricane Isaiah. It's not. It's Hurricane, I don't know. I
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: can't even tell you the name of it. Here's the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: governor of Florida, and he's warning everybody that this hurricane
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: is going to hit very hard. It's going to be
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a rough hurricane. It's already a Category 3 hurricane. And
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: it's a very dangerous landfall as expected tonight. It's mostly
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: towards the panhandle. But listen to the governor of Florida.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: He can't even tell you the name of the hurricane.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to pronounce this because it's not normal. So,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm calling it Isaiah. You guys can call
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: it what you want. I know that's not how you
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: pronounce this. It's something else. But it's weird. And I'm
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: just going to keep butchering it for the next 72 hours.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: And I'd rather just be there.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened to Hurricane Fred? Hurricane Sally? Hurricane Tom?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Hurricane Jeff? Is, uh, I'm not going to say, is, uh, EOS.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Is a EOS. Nobody's going to say that. Anyway, uh, Florida, it's, uh,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: it's mostly the northern part, mostly the panhandle. It's going
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: to hit, it'll also hit, uh, towards Alabama. President going
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to campaign this weekend in Alabama. He'll be in Tennessee.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: He'll be in Alabama. Uh, one of the reasons you
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: go to Alabama a lot when you're president, it helps
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: the Florida race, the, uh, candidate for governor, great to Republican,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: is running, and Byron Donalds. And if you do a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff in Alabama, those media stations, those TV,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the media there reaches the panhandle and the northern part
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: of Florida. So it helps. In fact, the last visit
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: that Trump made to Alabama, Byron Donalds went up a
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: point or two. So it's helping him there. Cornell, well,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: this case is going to get messier and messier. They're releasing,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: now these kids, the guys in the fraternity, many of
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: them wealthy kids, many of them have lawyered up. They
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: got very effective lawyers. Stuff is being released. Texts, signal chats,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: texts with the woman. Apparently, if you read these texts,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: if you believe these texts, apparently they'd had sex before.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: There were a couple of these guys, one in particular
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: she'd had sex with before. So it was some kind of,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I guess you'd call it a relationship. And this is
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: going to help these guys. These guys are going to have,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: uh obviously a tough time in court but there is
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: stuff on their side in that the details are kind
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: of foggy and the woman in her first statement laid
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: out the whole thing in her next statement the story
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: was different and in her third statement the story has
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: been different so they can use that as a defense
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that uh And she also admits to being heavily drunk,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, on drugs voluntarily. Had 10 drinks before she
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: got to the fraternity house.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: 10 drinks.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Have you ever had 10 drinks in your life at
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: one time?
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: 10?
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: She gets to the fraternity house, has another drink. That's
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: 11 drinks. Then she starts taking drugs voluntarily. So that's
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: another thing they'll use, that her memory can't possibly be
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: very good. That drunk, that drugged up. So there's a
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: lot going on. Now, there's also a civil case in Cornell.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: They could settle the case with the woman. That might
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: help it go away a little bit. Then that might
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: make them look guilty. So it's a very, very tricky
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: situation for everybody involved. So this crazy campaign for governor,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: it's going to heat up the last A couple weeks
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: are going to be intense. There is a debate. Again,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: it'll be on New York One. Nobody sees New York One.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely nobody. And New York One is the most biased
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: place in the world. That's the reason that Democrats will
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: only agree only to a New York One debate. Hey,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: workers at the Obama Library are upset. This is the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Obama Library. Here's a story you'll only hear here because...
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The fake news is never going to mention this, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: apparently workers at the Obama library run by the Obama
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: of whatever foundation, the workers say they're being mistreated. They
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: are actually trying to unionize. They say they're being so mistreated,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: ridiculous workloads, vague responses from administration. They've had a list
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of complaints. Nobody will answer them. This is the Obama
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: library workers saying they're going to, They're going to try
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to unionize. Their benefits have been cut. Terrible situation there.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: This is that Obama library that looks unbelievably ugly. Hideous
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: looking building. Really ugly building. So apparently the treatment of
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the workers there are pretty ugly. Hey, also, look at
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: into this. There's no Joe Biden library on the horizon. Normally,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: he's been out a year and a half now. Normally,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the thing would be... under construction already. There's no hint
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: of a Biden library. This could be the first president
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: not to have a presidential library. Apparently, nobody's interested. Now,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: when you do a presidential library, first of all, you
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: have to have a place. You have to have somewhere
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to build it. And then you got to have donors
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: that will pay for it. It's always donors. And Biden
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: was the king of donors. But Apparently, they're all mad
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: at him. They can't stand him. In fact, most of
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: them want a refund for the money they gave him before.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: They apparently didn't realize that he was just a complete
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: frozen vegetable, totally brain dead, didn't know where he was.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: So nobody's donating any money. Biden has said he wants
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: it in Delaware. Delaware is not lifting a finger to
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: do anything about it. He at one point, I guess
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: his people approached the University of Delaware and and asked them,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: they were always pretty Biden-friendly, asked them, could they take
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: a building and call it the Biden Library? And that way,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: he can pretend he's got a presidential library. But so far,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: they haven't agreed to do that. This will be the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: first president without a presidential library. Now, probably somebody, somebody
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: must still like him. He'll kick in a few bucks,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: and they'll create maybe a bookmobile or something. That'll be
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the presidential library.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: But.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: It's a year and a half now. Nothing has happened
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: so far. Hey, we've got a lot to get to.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Scott Besson. We'll get to the Wall
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Street Journal, no longer a newspaper, now a crazy tabloid.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up. A lot to talk
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: about today. We'll take some calls in a little while
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR. Now, much more Mark. Mark Simone.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: On 710WOR.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, so the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded today. Now,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: this Nobel Prize is one of the silliest. It would
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: be a good thing if it were legitimate, but it's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the most biased left-wing nonsense in the world. You remember
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize the day he
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: got elected. He hadn't even started yet. He hadn't even
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: done anything. It wasn't even possible for him to do anything.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: He just got elected. He hadn't taken office. Nobel Peace Prize.
• 24:52
  Speaker 15: Why?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: He's a Democrat. Now, President Trump loves tooting his own horn,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and there he was earlier this week saying, you know,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I settled seven wars. I got all the hostages back.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: What more do you have to do to get a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Nobel Prize? Well, you got to not be a Republican.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You have to not be a conservative. They should just
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: call it the Democratic Peace Prize. And what they yet
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: like to do, Trump makes a good case there. He
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: has settled a bunch of wars. He did get all
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the hostages released. He did free a couple of countries
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: from evil dictators, so normally that would get you a
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Nobel Peace, but no, no, no. So they awarded it today,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: like they usually do in these cases, to an absolutely
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: useless person who's done absolutely nothing concrete about anything. She
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: looks like a very nice woman, but the winner of
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the Nobel Peace Prize is the UN Human Rights Chief,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Navi Pillay. She's a judge on the International Court of Justice.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: The International Court of Justice. Now, that's one of those fake,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: made-up courts that has no authority, no power. It doesn't
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: actually do anything. She's South African-born. She's 85 years old.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: She's recognized for her efforts to promote peace. Well, I
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: will give her credit for that. She has done everything
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: she can to promote peace. And unfortunately, there's nothing she
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: can do about it. And she's never actually gotten anything done.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: But the Nobel Committee says her work is a source
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of hope and inspiration to all those who seek to
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: bring out a more peaceful world. But again, she's never
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: actually accomplished anything. Not that she hasn't tried. She just
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: has no power to do anything except write some poems
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: and make a speech at the UN. Outside of that,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: she's never actually gotten any peace anywhere. But she's the Nobel.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Peace Prize winner. Anyway, let's take some calls. Let's go
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to Sal in Yonkers. Sal, how you doing?
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: Hi, Mark.
• 26:56
  Speaker 16: Why can't Bruce Lakeman force News 1 to simulcast the
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: debate on all the News 12s throughout New York State?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Well, because nobody sees the News 12s either. Nobody sees those.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: The total of New York 1 plus News 12 comes
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to about 42 viewers. That's it. Nobody sees them. Well,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: That's the answer. Now, what he should do, he'll be
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: with us later in the show. I mean, I don't know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: There's nothing you can do. I guess he already has.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: You demand that she do a debate on a real
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: TV station. You know, they've both been approached by Channel 2,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Channel 4, Channel 7 to do debates. Hochul has turned
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: them all down, refuses to do it. This is with
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: all the Democrats, Letitia James and the rest. They'll only
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: do New York 1 because nobody sees it. And it's
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: very biased, very left-wing, very. So that's where the only
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: place Democrats will debate. Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 27:57
  Speaker 16: I'm well, Mark. Good morning to you. So Obama is
• 28:00
  Speaker 16: going into campaign for Abdul El-Sayed. My comment is, I
• 28:05
  Speaker 16: guess it just tells you all you need to know
• 28:08
  Speaker 16: about Obama and where his loyalties lie.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the Democrats and he loves the radical Democrats.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. It's kind of an insult to Al-Sayed. Normally,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Obama would just come and do a rally with you.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: He'd get up there. He's a great talker, that Obama.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: He'd get up there with Al-Sayed, endorse him, make a
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: big pitch. But apparently, Obama knows this Al-Sayed is a dirty,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: creepy guy. So he's asked the other candidates to come.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the candidate for governor, the candidate for Congress, all the other,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: he wants all the other candidates there. And he's bringing
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: some other Democrats to be with him. So it'll be
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: like a group thing. It'll not look like it's him
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: and Al-Sayed together. So he's trying to distance himself. Even
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in the rally, we're supposed to be supporting Al-Sayed. Even there,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: he's trying to give himself cover 12 different ways for
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: being anywhere near Al-Sayed. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: Good morning, Mark.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: I always appreciate the foul, the faux indignation by guys
• 29:18
  Speaker 14: like Mondani as he's talking about the shooting incident.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I think that was real. I think that he was
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: really in a rage. You know, when you come and
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: kill one of our criminals, that's his thing, defending these criminals.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: You come and go after one of our criminals, he
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: can go into a rage.
• 29:34
  Speaker 14: Well, you're right. The phone part I'm talking about is
• 29:37
  Speaker 14: how he's outraged that they were in plain clothes and
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: they put him in an unlocked car. Well, his security
• 29:42
  Speaker 14: detail is in plain clothes. And the police.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Department, the NYPD... He has a slight point. The ICE
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: agents apparently were wearing construction worker kind of clothes, so
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: they look like construction workers.
• 29:56
  Speaker 17: Undercover.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, but the NYPD undercover detail that protects Mamdani, Helen
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Keller could tell those are cops. They pull up in
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: these black SUVs. They've got 47 antennas on top. They've
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: got the cop suits. They've got the earphones. You could
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: tell they're cops from a mile away. There's no doubt.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: I just find it interesting that ICE can do nothing right.
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: By the way, I could argue that this guy was
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: still on the street because of guys like Mandani and
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: Hochul's crime, the way they treat criminals. The guy was
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: a cop to grand theft, and he was out on
• 30:36
  Speaker 14: five years probation. So he should have been in jail,
• 30:38
  Speaker 14: and he should have been on the street, and he
• 30:39
  Speaker 14: wouldn't have gotten shot, and so on and so forth.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, also, if Mamdani and Hochul and the rest would
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: cooperate with ICE, this is what Blakeman does in Long Island.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: He sends his local police with them. They know the streets.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: They know what's going on. And they make sure that
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: things go in an orderly way. So Blakeman will be
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: here later. We'll ask him.
• 30:57
  Speaker 15: Exactly.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, where are you in Florida? Are you on the north?
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: No, I'm on the east coast, just above Florida. Palm Beach,
• 31:07
  Speaker 14: 40 minutes north of Palm Beach. So I'm not getting
• 31:09
  Speaker 14: any of that hurricane, thankfully.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Let's hope not, but you might get something later this year.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: What do you people do down there when these hurricanes
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: keep coming?
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: I personally cower and talk about driving north.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I know, but you all say, every one of you,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: you say, well, I'm not going to live up there.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I can't deal with the snow. That's like two weeks
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: a year. You don't mind the hurricanes? I'd rather have snow.
• 31:32
  Speaker 14: I hate the hurricanes. I hate the hurricanes, and I'd
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: rather have the snow. I just can't afford $ 6, 000 a
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: month of rent. That's the problem.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: All right, but it's getting more and more expensive down there.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: You know why it's $ 6, 000? You know why it's so
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: expensive to rent a place in New York? Because everybody
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: wants to be here. Everybody's coming here.
• 31:51
  Speaker 18: Absolutely.
• 31:52
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 14: And it's always been expensive. As I said before, when
• 31:56
  Speaker 14: I first moved in 40-some odd years ago, my $ 350
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: a month studio was expensive.
• 31:59
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 32:02
  Speaker 14: I get it. And by the way, everything else down
• 32:05
  Speaker 14: here is the same price as it is in New York. Food, gas,
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: it's just cheaper to own a home.
• 32:12
  Speaker 20: And no tax.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Good call as always, Mike. Thanks for calling. One more.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Hal in Freeport. Hal, how are you doing?
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: Hey, how are you doing? Don't waste bullets on this guy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: Just throw him in the pool with piranhas. The Washington pool.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: And don't throw him on with his clothes on.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, throw him in the pool of piranhas. I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: like this. This is the Largo, the villain in Thunderball.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: This is his approach. Remember, he threw Bond in the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: pool with the sharks.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: But don't throw him in naked. Nobody wants to see
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: his unit.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, calm down, calm down. You're getting a little perverted.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: First of all, a bullet is 25 cents. You know
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: how much it costs to have a pool, to maintain it,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: to have piranhas? You've got to take care of them.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: You've got to feed them.
• 33:00
  Speaker 18: The pool is already there.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: The pool's there.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: It's not as easy as you think. You've been watching
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: too many Bond movies. Thanks for calling. Remember that movie, Thunderball?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: And the guy had the pool, beautiful swimming pool on
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: his estate, but it had these things that would open
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: up and sharks would come out and eat you.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: Remember?
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Didn't he throw Bond in there at one point?
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: But again, that's a movie. You can't do that in
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: real life. Listen, it was a terrible shooting. Mamdani, had
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: he cooperated with ICE, had he put local cops with them,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: things would have gone in a much smoother way. Now,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the DHS is confirming, absolutely confirming, that there was body
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: camera footage of this. Now, they haven't released it yet. Now,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: it's a little suspicious, but we'll see. If they release
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the body camera footage, and it's as the officer said,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: that the guy tried to run them over, he tried
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: to ram them with his car, It then becomes a
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: totally justified shooting. In any law enforcement agency in America,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: if you're standing there and he's going to try to
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: run you over and kill you, you are justified in
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: stopping him. So we'll see. We'll probably hear about that
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: later today. We'll keep covering it all morning. We've got
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: lots to get to today. Mark Simone here. Nine to noon.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Three hours now. Nine to noon every day. And then
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: at noon, Buck and Clay with a really good show
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: for you. And then the most listened to radio show
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: in all of America. Sean Hannity at three. You got
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly at six. The very funny Jimmy Fallon. Nine
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: to midnight. All that's here on 710WOR.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's going to be a beautiful day today. Oh,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: not as warm as yesterday. Yesterday was really great. It'll
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: be about 70 today, but sunny. And then another nice
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: day tomorrow. And then this tropical storm. We're going to
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: get some remnants of it. So we're going to have
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: rain on Sunday into Monday morning. It looks like it
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: may stop by afternoon because you've got the Columbus Day
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: parade in the afternoon. So we've got a lot to
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: get to. Two more hours to go. We'll talk to
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman about the governor's race. We will get to
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Mamdani and his overreaction to ICE. Now, ICE, well, we'll
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: see what the body cam shows. But Some stuff has
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: come out about Mamdani last night in those phone calls
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: with the White House. Well, we'll get to that. His behavior,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: a little questionable. Also, we'll get to Mamdani may have
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: crossed a line on October 7th. A lot of people
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that were defending him, no longer defending him. His anti-Semitism
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: really crossed a line on October 7th. Some people that
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: were behind him now turning on him. So we'll get
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: to that and a lot more coming up in the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: next hour. Also, the Mamdani administration. Wait till you hear
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: about their new war on cars. We'll get to all
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: of this coming up. Don't go away. It's three hours,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: nine to noon every day, right here on 710WOR. Now
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: nine till noon weekdays.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Mark Simone.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: More Mark. On 710WOR. Hey, it's Friday. It's a beautiful Friday.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Really nice out. It's going to be like that for
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the next two days and then some rain on Sunday.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Mayor Mamdani. And the Department of Homeland
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Security responding to him. It's interesting what happened last night
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: in those phone calls. We'll get to that. We'll get
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman. He's going to be campaigning upstate New York.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: President Trump will be there. President Trump and Vice President
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Vance will be all over the place. Vance going to Ohio.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: President Trump going to Syracuse today. Tennessee and Alabama tomorrow.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Virginia on Sunday. nonstop campaigning till the end. It's 25
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: days till the midterms. Bruce Blakeman has a debate coming
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: up this week. Nobody will see it because it's on
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: New York One. The moderators, New York One, very left-wing,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: very biased, so that'll work against him. But he's good
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: at that. He's really good when he's cornered. He's much,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: much smarter, sharper, more articulate than Kathy Hochul, so this
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: should be interesting. So, The shooting last night caused a
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: lot of protesting last night, caused Mom Donnie to go
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: into a rage. Now, some of that was grandstanding. Same
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: thing with Letitia James, who's up for reelection and had
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: a bad debate earlier in the evening last night. But,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: you know, she's yelling and screaming and, well, not yelling.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: She's talking in that very serious voice of hers. Mom
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Donnie yelling and screaming, looking livid. But again, a lot
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: of this is grandstanding for the camera.
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: The individual who was shot has been identified as 28-year-old
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: Oscar Belgal. He has two prior arrests in New York City,
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: one for robbery in 2023, in which he pleaded guilty
• 38:01
  Speaker 9: to fourth-degree grand larceny and received five years probation, and
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: one for criminal sale of a controlled substance in 2025,
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: which is still pending.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Actually, that's Police Commissioner Tish. You know, this is the problem.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: He's a career criminal. gang-associated, and he shouldn't have been
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: out in the street. You know, crazy New York judges, probation.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Even though he pled guilty, he gets probation for robbery.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: But apparently, DHS revealing that they don't want ICE agents
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to go out in the street and have to do this,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: that there are 15,000 illegals in New York, many of
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: them in custody, who are criminals, who have committed crimes.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: They want to have them just turned over to ICE.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: They don't want to have to go into the streets
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: and try to find them and arrest them in the street.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: And DHS revealing that the Mamdani administration has absolutely refused
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: to cooperate in any way or turn them over. Now,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Mamdani said he was on the phone for two hours
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: last night with Trump.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: For the past two hours, I have been on the
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullen negotiating the release
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Just moments ago, ICE put the man in an unmarked
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: vehicle and whisked him away.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, now, Mamdani is not giving you the whole story there.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: That's the statement. you keep hearing. He tried to get
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the guy, you know, out of ICE custody. He was unsuccessful. Well,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: apparently now, and when he says he was on the
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: phone with President Trump for two hours, he was on
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the phone with Department of Homeland Security for two hours.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: He was on the phone with Secretary Mullins for two hours.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: The president was five minutes of the two hours. And
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: here's apparently the real story. This is what really happened.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Mamdani wanted ICE to give up this guy, release him.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: The administration agreed to release him if the NYPD would
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: take him into custody. Remember, this guy's a criminal. He's
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a career criminal. Shouldn't have been on the street anyway.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: He's an illegal here illegally. And according to the ICE agents,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: we're waiting for the body cam footage to absolutely confirm it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: But according to ICE agents, He tried to kill them.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: He tried to run them over, ram them with his car.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: So that's a guy who has to be arrested, locked up,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: and really should be deported. But that was the sticking point.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: They agreed to release him to the NYPD if the
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: NYPD held him into custody. Now, here's the key to
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: all this. This is the big takeaway. The problem was Mamdani...
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: said no. Mamdani refused. Mamdani said he wanted him released
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: back into the streets. That's what Mamdani was fighting for.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: And ICE said they can't let this guy back into
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: the streets. He's a career criminal. He's dangerous. He just
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: tried to run over cops. He's got a criminal rap sheet.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: He's gang affiliated. No, they were not going to release
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: him back in the streets. But that's what Mamdani was
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: fighting for, to have this guy released into the streets. Now, Mamdani,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: of course, grandstanding for the cameras. His anger looked real
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: because I think this is what really eats away at him.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: This gets him right in the heart. He's like what
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: they used to call a bleeding heart liberal. He loves
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: these criminals. He loves these illegals. He loves these guys, criminals.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: It's like this Alvin Bragg. Don't put him in jail.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Release him. And this is the hatred he has for ICE.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: They're coming into New York and taking are criminals away
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: from us.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: New York City will not stand by while ICE agents
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: shoot New Yorkers. And we will not back down from
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: time and again.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: This is an agency that must be abolished.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Now, there's nothing you can do about this. You could have,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Mamdani could sit right there, and for hours we could
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: try to explain to him they're not shooting New Yorkers.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: They're going after criminals, actual criminals, gang affiliated with criminal
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: records that are here illegally. They violated all kinds of
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: laws just being here. And since they got here, they're
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: violating more of our laws. You could explain this. You
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: could have a million people try to talk. There's nothing
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: you can do. You will never budge this guy one
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: inch on that. There's nothing you can, that's why I
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: always tell you, don't argue with these people. There's nothing
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: you can tell them. Nothing is going to change their mind.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: It's not a thing about logic or, you know, anything
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: like that. There's nothing you can explain to them. It's
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: in the heart. It's what they used to call the
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: bleeding heart. There's nothing you can say. But we're waiting
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: for that body cam footage. Hopefully, Secretary Mullen has confirmed
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: there is body cam footage of all this. If they
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: never release it, well, that's a little suspicious. But let's
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: see if we get it later today. Now, remember, it's
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: also an election, so they're going to use this. It's
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: not just their normal grandstandings. but this is election grandstanding
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: as well. Now, the Wall Street Journal, I don't know
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: what happened or when it happened exactly. The Wall Street
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Journal used to be an actual newspaper. It used to
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: be a prestigious sort of a newspaper. It then just
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: turned into, I hate to say, a rag. Basically, it's
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: just gotten worse and worse and worse. You can't count
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: on it for anything anymore. about four or five months ago, some, uh,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: it was an interview with Scott Besant where he brought
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: this up, the treasury secretary. He said, it's no longer
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: a newspaper. It's like a little features magazine. They should
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: call it the main street journal. It's not a, it's
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: not a legitimate news source anymore. He really went after them. So, uh,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: in the past week, they've gone after him publishing this
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: story about how violent his temper, his temper is. And
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: he's throwing these temper tantrums and he threw, uh, a
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: ketchup bottle against the wall. Well, everybody in the room,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: everybody that works with him said this never happened. This
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: is the wall street journal. And once again, he said,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: you know, they're not a newspaper anymore. They're not a
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: news source anymore. You can't count on them for anything.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: So the, uh, story yesterday that broke about Kimberly Guilfoyle,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: she was engaged to Don jr. Remember before that TV star,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: she was one of the five on the five. She
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: was at Fox. Uh, but at some point, uh, They
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: got rid of her. And then the Don Jr. engagement,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: that ended and, you know, it's awkward. So the president
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: appoints her to ambassador to Greece. You know, if your
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: son breaks up with this woman, what are you going
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: to do? It's a little awkward. Well, you send her
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: 4,000 miles away.
• 44:55
  Speaker 14: Perfect.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: The story comes out that she was getting donors to
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: pay her bills, that she got into some credit card debt.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Owed 100,000 American Express. Now, the donor has come forward
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: and backed this up. It was the Wall Street Journal
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: that released the story. So that was the problem. It
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: may be true, but the Wall Street Journal is no
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: longer credible and nobody takes them seriously anymore. So they
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: asked Rubio about it. they caught him on the runway.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: They asked him about, you know, he's the Secretary of State.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: He's in charge of these ambassadors. What are you going
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: to do about it?
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: This is not the forum where we're going to address that.
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: It's as simple as that.
• 45:33
  Speaker 11: Suffice it to say, our ambassador is doing a great job.
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador here.
• 45:38
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: So somebody cut out the best part of the clip,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: which is then he said, I'm not going to take
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: you seriously. He's talking to the Wall Street Journal. Just
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: you say you have the source. I don't take you seriously.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work this way. Let me know when you
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: get some actual evidence. Well, Problem is, the donor has
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: come forward and spoken on camera saying it's true. She
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: wanted him to pay her credit card bill, $ 100, 000 to
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: American Express. And that she kept telling him, you know,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: he said, I can't. She said, well, you wire it
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: right to American Express. That way there's no paper trail
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: connecting you and me. And he said, now this is interesting.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: He said, I can't do it. My wife will kill me.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: My wife will go. What does that imply? That she's
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: worried there's something romantic between him and Kimberly? I don't
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: know what it means. Or his wife might just be,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: maybe it means she's going to get mad that I'm
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: wasting $ 100, 000 on you. But he didn't do it. But
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: this is what the Wall Street Journal is claiming. And
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: it may be true, but nobody trusts the Wall Street
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Journal anymore. But the donor has spoken publicly. Now, there's
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: all kinds of people calling for heard a step down,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: that this is a terrible, illegal, I don't think it's
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: actually illegal. And the ambassador, it's not really, ambassador doesn't
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: really do much of anything. You sit in the embassy. Now, remember,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: if it's a serious problem kind of a place, like
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: in the Middle East or some really troubled war zone
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: kind of, anything serious, they send a real ambassador, a
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: real professional, career public service. Those are the ambassadors in
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: those countries. But when it's just a fun kind of place,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: it's usually a big, huge donor who gave a lot
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: of money. If you gave a ton of money, you'll
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: become the ambassador to France. If you gave the most money,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: you can be England. You can be the ambassador to
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: the court of St. James. Give a ton of money,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: you're the ambassador to Spain. You'll get the fun European countries.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Or if the president needs to do a favor for somebody,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: you're the ambassador to Greece. That's how she did that. Now,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: The problem with becoming the ambassador, you don't do much
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: of anything except throw parties. And people don't know this,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: but when you're one of those ambassadors in France or England,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: you have to pay for the parties yourself. You have
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: to fix up the embassy yourself, your quarters. You have
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: to furnish it. So there's some people that turn down
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: the ambassadorship because it's going to cost them a couple
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: million between now redoing the embassy and throwing the party.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people don't want to spend the money.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: And there are plenty of people that are ambassadors all
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: over the place to these fun countries that are not
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: in any way qualified. Remember Caroline Kennedy, they owed her something.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: She was ambassador to Japan. There's nobody that knows less
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: about Japan or has any talent as an ambassador than her.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: There are people that, I don't want to mention names.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say what administration it was. But
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: can I say which one? No, I can't say because
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: it will identify the person. The guy gave so much money.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: He was in the construction business or real estate. He
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: gave so much money that he was going to be
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: an ambassador. That's how much money he gave. But he
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: had somebody go to the president-elect and say, he said,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: you better give him something important. He doesn't want some
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: stupid country, some little island somewhere. You better give him
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: a really important ambassadorship. So the president said, okay, you
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: tell him we'll make him the ambassador to NATO.
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: So he went back and he told the guy. you're
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: going to be ambassador to NATO. And the guy said,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: what the hell is that? He goes, what's NATO? I
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: never heard of that. And he said, it's the North
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Atlantic Treaty Organization. That guy said, I don't know what
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: that is. Where is it? And he said, Brussels. And
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: he said, where the hell's Brussels? And he said, Belgium. Belgium.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: And the guy said, I thought you were going to
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: get me something good. Brussels, Belgium, NATO. I've never heard
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: of this. That's how ignorant the guy was. That's who
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: gets made ambassadors a lot of times. It's just a
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: dumb donor who gets it very often. So don't take
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: them that seriously. But again, if it's a serious place,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: you know, Middle Eastern trouble spot, they always send a
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: real professional to be the ambassador. So, hey, Joe Rogan
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: re-signed with Spotify. Wow, it's been that long. Yeah, it's
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: been almost six years. So the deal is up. Remember
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: the original contract? Rogan, Spotify, popular podcast. It was a
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: $ 250 million contract. He was getting like $ 50 million a
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: year for his podcast. It's got 18 million followers on Spotify,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: 21 million on YouTube. So Rogan renewed its expected thought
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: that it's at least the same amount, probably a little
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: bit of a raise. So I figure it's $ 300 million
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: for the next five years. Good for him. David Ellison,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Skydance chairman, says, don't worry, CNN, the boss will stay.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: We're not going to tamper. We're looking for stability. CNN's
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: in last place. It's got nobody watching. It's got the
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: worst ratings in the world, last place. Let's keep that stable.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: We want some stability. Actually, what people think is really
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: going on, CNN is a disaster ratings-wise, financially. What's really
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: going on is they're going to do layoffs. There's going
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: to be tons of layoffs, not just CNN, but all
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: through the– you know, when you buy a big thing
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: like that, you've got to do layoffs because some of
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: it's a mess. CNN is a total mess. So instead
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: of tampering with the editorial, interfering, they'll just lay off everybody.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: They'll do it that way. There's going to be a
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: lot of layoffs over there. Also, they'll cheapen things. You know,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: remember MSNBC? It was at NBC, Rockefeller Center. NBC, the
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: studio was like 10 miles long. It was unbelievable. Well,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: NBC threw it out. There's no MSNBC anymore. They threw
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: them the hell out of the company and out of
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: the building. Now they're in a little studio in Times Square.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look quite the same, and they don't have
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: the resources. They can't cut to correspondents all over the world.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: So they'll do that to CNN. They'll trim it down,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: cut costs, lay off a lot of people. Hey, we'll
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. Give us
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: a call, especially if you're a new caller. 800-321-0710.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Give WOR a preset on the iHeartRadio app to hear
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone and all the WOR hosts in an instant.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on WOR.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Jacqueline in Brooklyn. Jacqueline, how are you doing?
• 52:49
  Speaker 20: Good morning, Mark.
• 52:50
  Speaker 17: I'm doing fine, and I hope you're doing well also.
• 52:53
  Speaker 17: You were talking earlier in the show about how these
• 52:57
  Speaker 17: fake polls work and the demographics that they specifically target.
• 53:02
  Speaker 17: And you had a lady that called in yesterday. She
• 53:04
  Speaker 17: was an older lady, like myself, and she said that
• 53:08
  Speaker 17: she's never been polled.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, but that doesn't matter. They're not supposed to poll you.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to find somebody like you that they poll.
• 53:17
  Speaker 17: Yeah, but what they've done, they've gotten away from the
• 53:20
  Speaker 17: traditional telephone call polling. And in order to get their
• 53:25
  Speaker 17: demographic target group, they're going after people online. I have
• 53:29
  Speaker 17: been watching movies online. And as of last year's mayoral election,
• 53:34
  Speaker 17: I can't tell you how I was bombarded every 10,
• 53:38
  Speaker 17: 15 minutes with these ads from Omdani. And that's the
• 53:44
  Speaker 17: group that they're going after.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. This doesn't work that way.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: What the polling companies do, they do everything. They do
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: cell phones. They do online. They even do some landlines.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: They do every type of stuff. The way they rig it,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: I hate to keep explaining this over and over and
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: over again, but there's two kinds of polls. There's the
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: real polls. Those cost a fortune. That's what the candidates use.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: There's the public polls, which are very cheap. They're about three,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: four thousand a poll. And they use every method of
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: reaching people, but they deliberately reach the wrong people. You're
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: supposed to use likely voters. They don't do that. They
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: use sometimes registered voters, which means anybody. But most of
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: the time, it'll just say adults, which means whoever they want.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: They could go in the faculty lounge at Columbia and
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: do it there. That's one way they rig it. In
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: their defense, they can't afford to do likely voters. It
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: costs a lot of money to pinpoint the likely voters.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: So that's one reason that real polls are very expensive.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: So they don't use the right group. They use adults
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: instead of likely voters. They deliberately... make Republicans way too
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: low in the sample. They usually put them about 23%, 24%.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: They should be 38%. So they undersample Republicans. Right there,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: that's like a seven, eight-point bias right there. And then
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: they use the wrong demographics deliberately. Like they'll just use
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: people in their 20s or something like that. So that's
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: the way they do it. And they do it deliberately.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: It's to suppress turnout. And there have been a few
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: studies of all these polls. and then they'll find that
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: they were wrong and that 97% of the time they
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: were wrong. It was in favor of Democrats they were wrong. So,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're very, very slanted. But again, they cost $ 3, 000,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: $ 4, 000 a poll. The real polls that are deadly accurate,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: campaigns use them. Those can cost a million dollars a month.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: And they're not public, although we have John McLaughlin, probably
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: the best of all of them. We have him on,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: and sometimes he'll tell us what's going on in them.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Brian in Long Island. Brian, how you doing?
• 55:57
  Speaker 15: Hey, Mark. How are you?
• 56:00
  Speaker 12: Um.
• 56:01
  Speaker 14: i'm talking about the uh... ice shooting yesterday i was
• 56:03
  Speaker 14: listening to the top of the hour news and the
• 56:06
  Speaker 14: girl says the mayor wants ice out of the city
• 56:09
  Speaker 14: because they shot a man but it's just classic fake
• 56:12
  Speaker 14: news if you don't if you don't know any better
• 56:14
  Speaker 14: you think it was just a guy she leaves out
• 56:16
  Speaker 14: of the report that the guy's a criminal alien he's
• 56:19
  Speaker 14: a gang member he's got a extensive rap sheet he
• 56:22
  Speaker 14: tried to run them down with the car Let me.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: Just clear up some of this. We don't know that
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: he's a gang member. They're saying he's gang affiliated. We
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: don't quite know what that means. It's not an extensive
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: rap sheet. He's got a few things on that rap sheet.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: But he is a criminal. And if this is all true,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: they haven't released the body cam footage yet. They've confirmed
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: it exists. But if it is true what they're saying,
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: that he tried to run them over, they are totally
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: justified in shooting him. Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy,
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 56:56
  Speaker 17: Morning, Mark.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, Kathy. Where are you going? I hear a car noise.
• 57:01
  Speaker 17: I know.
• 57:02
  Speaker 18: I'm driving.
• 57:02
  Speaker 21: I want to do a quickie with you.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll be right there.
• 57:06
  Speaker 14: Okay, thanks.
• 57:07
  Speaker 17: How you doing?
• 57:08
  Speaker 18: Okay, look, you guys covered that story a couple of
• 57:11
  Speaker 18: days ago about Social Security.
• 57:13
  Speaker 14: You know, Trump was going to send out, you know,
• 57:15
  Speaker 14: payments to everybody, and I kind of blew it off.
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: And I'm like, sure.
• 57:19
  Speaker 8: Guess what?
• 57:20
  Speaker 17: I got it.
• 57:21
  Speaker 22: And it really helped this week.
• 57:23
  Speaker 14: I'm just so laughing about the whole thing.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: How much is it?
• 57:27
  Speaker 16: I mean, it's $ 100.
• 57:28
  Speaker 14: Oh, okay.
• 57:28
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: And it was that extra money left over.
• 57:35
  Speaker 21: I don't know if Doge.
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: Found it, which would really be the feather in my cap.
• 57:38
  Speaker 17: But I just I really.
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: Profoundly want to say it was.
• 57:43
  Speaker 22: Like it was like a little gift.
• 57:45
  Speaker 17: It was great.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Well, it's good to hear. Good to hear. President keeping
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: his word on giving money back to voters. Let's go
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: to Stan in Astoria. Stan, how are you doing? Hi, Mark.
• 57:56
  Speaker 22: Mark, I was wondering, who do you feel more sorry for,
• 57:58
  Speaker 22: Gayle King having to work with Nora O'Donnell or Nora
• 58:02
  Speaker 22: O'Donnell having to work with Gayle King?
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a no-brainer. Nora O'Donnell, obviously. They're both kind
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: of useless. In real life, Nora O'Donnell is a very
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: nice woman, very nice person. Gayle King is the most
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: awful vulture in real life. You don't want to be
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: anywhere near Gayle King.
• 58:19
  Speaker 22: Mark, as long as you've been following the morning news shows,
• 58:23
  Speaker 22: have you ever known CBS News, the morning show that
• 58:26
  Speaker 22: they have, ever to be out of third place, out
• 58:28
  Speaker 22: of a three-team race?
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: No, never.
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: Never.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: It's always in last place. It's always going to be
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: in last place. It's a total disaster. It was a
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: good question, Stan. Thanks for calling. They should get rid
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: of it. You know, after 40 years of last place, CBS,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: stop doing a morning show. You've got plenty of morning shows.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Do something else. bring back Captain Kangaroo. That was more successful.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Anybody remember Captain Kangaroo? If this were 50 years ago,
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: you'd be watching Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Green Jeans, Bunny Rabbit,
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: and the Grandfather Clock. Remember that? Anyway, hey, when we
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: come back, the dean himself, the greatest political consultant, campaign
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: manager of all, Ed Rollins. We'll talk to him next.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. The Mark Simone Show.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 59:25
  Speaker 15: On 710WOR.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, let's talk to the dean himself, Ed Rollins.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody has run more campaigns, more successful campaigns. He's been
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: in a number of administrations, White Houses. Nobody knows this
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: stuff better. Ed Rollins, how you doing?
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: Doing pretty well. How are you doing?
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: I'm good. How are the Republicans doing midterm-wise this year?
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Looking better, isn't it?
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: No? Mark, I don't know where you drink.
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: Whatever you're drinking.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: But isn't it good to be a little behind right
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: now with momentum and surging? Registration looks good. What do
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: Well, we've got to make sure the voters turn out.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: And that's what the president's efforts are out there trying
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 7: to do at this point in time. And obviously, we
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: won't know until Election Day. people are actually voting in
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 7: absentee ballots already. It's a lot of little things that
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 7: keep happening, like Ambassador Guilford asking someone for $ 100, 000 to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: pay off her American Express. You know, it becomes a
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: big story, and that's a story people understand and don't
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: think of it positively in the sense of, sure, I'd
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: like to have someone.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 6: Give me $ 25, 000, $ 60, 000 to pay off my bills, and she's.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: Our ambassador to Greece, and she was engaged to her son,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: Those things become the story, and it's hard for the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: president to drive what he wants to drive. What he
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: should be doing is he should be out there saying,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: I need a Republican Congress to finish the job.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: Here are the four or five things I want to do.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: In the last two years of this term.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: I can't do it if the Democrats are in control
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: and they'll roll back everything we have. That's got to
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 6: be the message for the last two weeks here.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 7: And they put a congressman on the other side, and
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: you're saying, I need to go back and help the president.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: None of that's occurring.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, when he does these rallies, he's really great. These
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: rallies are really something. But, you know, he'll talk for
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: two and a half hours. Would it be more effective
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: if he had a nice, tight message and he spoke
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: for like 20 minutes?
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: Of course it would. It would be much better if
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: he wasn't doing rallies.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: It would be much better if he's going around these
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: different places with the congressional seats and the Senate race
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: and do local TV or local radio. He'll get as
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 7: much play. He makes news wherever he goes. and he
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: can stay on script for five or ten minutes and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: drive his message, and.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: He can do everything.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 7: But he gets in front of these audiences, 6,000, 7,000,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 7: whatever they may be, and it becomes about his rally
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: and what he wants credit for.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: And the reality is, at this point in time, it's
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: really how do you.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: Help the congressmen and the senators who are in trouble
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 7: and follow your lead?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: So that's just my advice, man.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 7: And I don't see any– there's no polling that's showing
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: anything's positive coming back. There's nothing but negativity out there
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: and all the ads. And so we're down to, you know,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: who gets the road up. Democrats right now are more
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: intense than our side is, but it's still possible.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, Ed Rollins, you've run a lot of campaigns,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of rallies, a lot of presidents, worked with
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Reagan and even Ross Perot is another billionaire. whatever they're
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: doing wrong. Is there ever a moment where you can
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: sit them down and say, listen, you're doing it wrong.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Here's what you need to do. Is this, is that
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: ever possible with these guys?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: No, no, absolutely. Absolutely not. Uh, Reagan was a tremendous candidate.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: Reagan was a performer and he was a good president
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: and he knew, he knew his audience and he could basically,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: and he listened and he said to me when I
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: was running his presidential campaign, he said, uh, you're my director.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: Tell me what to do. I'll basically try and perform it.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: And if I don't like what you're telling me, I'll,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 6: I'll not do it, but, uh, we'll talk about it.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: Uh, most candidates, especially when they get in the heat
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: of the last closing weeks of the campaign, uh, think
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: they know what the audience wants and they're trying to
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 7: drive it. Trump basically is combined by, he feels he's
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: being treated so unfairly by the media that he goes
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: out and he beats up the media that has to
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: cover his message. Uh, and so at the end of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: the day here, uh, He's got to get his votes back.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 7: Right now, 25% of his voters who voted for him
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: two years ago aren't there. They're not necessarily voting for Democrats,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 7: but they're not enthusiastic and they're not giving him a brewery.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 7: So he's got to basically reinforce that base. He's got
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: to basically energize Republicans to turn out and vote. And
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: that's a tough challenge. Yeah.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: So last night, Michigan, there was a debate, Rogers, El-Sayed.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Rogers was pretty good. El-Sayed was pretty crazy. It's like
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: neck and neck. What do you think will happen in Michigan?
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: That's going to be the last race probably decided and
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: probably the one that decides whether we get the Senate
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: or not. Right now, it's the last couple of polls,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: two or three points differential, which means anyone can win.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: And I think it's a question, again, is who has
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: the money, who has the resources, who gets their vote out?
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: And I think to a.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 7: Certain extent, Roger still has a shot at it, but
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: I would not say at this point in time he
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: would be viewed as a favorite, other than the fact
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: that the candidate who he's running against is someone who
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: obviously is very objectionable in his view.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, one thing about these Trump rallies, look at 10,000,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: 20,000 people show up. They make everybody fill out this thing,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: and they make everybody get registered. Doesn't that help? That's
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: kind of the ground game there, isn't it?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: Well, one of the problems with, you know, I was
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 7: a White House political director and ran these stuff. Once
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 7: you have to decide in the closing weeks of a campaign,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: do you want the White House to basically come in
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 7: and get a big crowd for the press, which obviously you.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: Do, and take volunteers away from the campaign in order
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: to do that? There's not an unlimited number of volunteers.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: Republican activists basically should be out at this point in
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: time doing everything they can to get the vote out
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 7: for the candidates and not basically running around worrying about
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: how many people are there for the press.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: So that's why I.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: Say he'd be better off not going into all these places.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 7: It takes a lot of time and attention to build
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 7: a crowd of 6,500 or 10,000 or 15,000.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 6: It's not quite the enthusiasm it once was. So those
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: are decisions that need to be made.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: And obviously, the Congressional Committee and the Senate Committee have
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: to decide where they want to spend their money, where
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: their priority is, and the President has to start spending
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 7: his money more plentiful.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ed Rons, is this another problem? The rally might
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: not be the best thing, but the President, you probably
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: went through this with some of them, They want to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: do the rally because they want to get the hell
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: out of the White House. They want to go somewhere
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: and speak.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 7: No, listen, this is where the president has fun.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: He wants to go out there and beat the press up.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: He wants to beat up the Democrats.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: He wants to basically get attention for things that he
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 7: thinks he's done that are sustainable. Now, whether the public
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: thinks that at the same time, the public is talking
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: about affordability and what have you.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 6: He's not out talking about those issues.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: He's talking about the issues that matter to him, and
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: they may not be the same issues mattering to the voters.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, but one of the things I don't think Democrats understand,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: you go into the heartland of America, real working people
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: working day and night, they don't care about the ballroom.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: They don't care about an arch. Even Kimberly Guilford, it's
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: not an issue for them, is it?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not an issue today, and that's why you
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 6: shouldn't be talking about it.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: You should be talking about gas prices and food prices
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: and things that aren't working. You go to Nebraska and
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 7: you talk about the farm situation. The farm chaos. I
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 7: never thought I'd see the day in my lifetime, and
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 7: I've been doing this for a long time, as you say,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: where we have to worry about Kansas. We have to
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: worry about Texas. We have to worry about Iowa. Those
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: are our states. Those are places we should.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: Win easily, not even have to go there.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: But we've got to fight for all these things at
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: this point in time. That's what scares me.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: That's what scares me. So if you could turn the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: clock back, go back to January. and talk to the president,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: what would you tell him to do to prepare himself
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: for the midterms that he hasn't done?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: I would tell him that he has to basically get
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: a new roadmap. Obviously, first of all, get out of
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: the war, uh, and which was keep gas prices down
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: and basically listen, listen to the polls, listen to the public. Uh,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: you've got good pollsters yourself who knows what's going on
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: and listen to what they're telling you. People want to hear,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: you know, you go out and you talk to an
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: audience that doesn't want to hear your message. Uh, then
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: you're not going to do very well. Now, the 6,000,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: 10,000 people that are in front of him in a
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: rally are his most diehard supporters, and they may very
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: well want to hear the message of the greatest president ever.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: But the independent voters, and the big dilemma here is,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 7: the plurality of voters in America are independent. We're getting
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: killed among independents. And the president basically did very well
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: among independents two years ago, who.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 6: Now lost that vote. And that's the vote that's going
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 6: to take us down.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Well, except New York. You know, it turns out in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: the latest polling, Bruce Blakeman is very strong with independence.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Is that going to be a big factor?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 6: Same, same drill. If he gets the independent vote, he's
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: going to win. If he doesn't get the independent vote,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 6: he's going to lose.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Well, because it looks like right now he's got 60%
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: of independence. Pretty good.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: He's got to maintain that and make sure they vote.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Ed Rollins, brilliant as always. Nobody knows this
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: stuff better. Ed Rollins, great talking to you. We'll do
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: it again soon.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 14: Thank you. All right.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 8: Great.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 18: Thanks.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Thanks. Take care. Speaking of Bruce Blakeman, he'll be with
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: us later in the show. We'll talk to him. him
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: in the next hour, and I think he's going to
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: campaign later today with President Trump. I think they're both
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: headed to Syracuse. Well, we'll get the answer when we
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: talk to him coming up. Don't forget, at noon, it's
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: Buck Saxton and Clay Travis with a great show every
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: day at 12. Then at 3 o'clock, you've got the
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: most listened to Radio show in America, Sean Hannity. Jesse
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Kelly at 6. You got the very funny Jimmy Fallon
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: every night, 9 o'clock. It's all here on 710WOR.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, the Mark Simone Show.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, Sunday night. Were you a big 30 Rock fan?
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: They're having the 30 Rock reunion, Radio City. It's Sunday night.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: and apparently they've lowered the ticket prices. Ticket prices just
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: dropped 30%. Apparently they're not selling this out. It's a
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: lot of seats. It's 6,000 seats at Radio City. They
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: say everybody will be there, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: and the rest of the cast, confirmed to appear. This
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the pilot of 30 Rock,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: 20th anniversary. Now, it's one night only. It's Sunday night,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Radio City, They say it will not be televised. This
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: is not where you, you know, they're doing this for
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: a TV special. This will not be televised, but there's
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: some tickets left. 30% off Radio City Sunday night. Now,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: these bad polls, the network's apparently promoting the hell out
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: of these bad polls. I'm explaining to you the fake
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: public polls. Why are they doing it? Well, they're trying
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: to suppress GOP turnout ahead of the midterms. You run
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: these polls. And it discourages Republicans from even bothering to vote.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: That's the reason they do that. Now, you can always
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: tell who's in trouble by how many attack ads they run.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: You'll notice Kathy Hochul is suddenly spending millions on nonstop
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: attack ads on Blakeman. That's because he's doing very well.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: She wouldn't panic and do that if she didn't need to.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: He'll be with us in the next hour, so we'll
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: ask him about that. There's a debate. Hochul Blakeman debates
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: coming up Tuesday night. Well, we'll get to that. We'll
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: get to that in the next hour. Lots to talk
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: to him about. It's going to be a beautiful Friday, sunny,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: 70 degrees, kind of the same tomorrow, rain on Sunday.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: We've got another hour to go, so stay right there.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone with one more hour to go, 9 to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: noon every day, here on 710WOR. And now, Mark Simone
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Well, we got a
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: lot to get to. We'll talk with Bruce Flakeman about
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: the governor's race and the debate coming up on Tuesday.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: We'll take a look at a lot of stuff. Now,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: this ICE shooting, let's just clear up a lot of
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: stuff here. ICE is in New York last night, yesterday.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: And here's the problem. The Department of Homeland Security has
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: asked local police everywhere to cooperate with ICE. If ICE
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: has to come in and arrest people, It's the position
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: of the Trump administration. They would prefer that the illegals
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: just be turned over to ICE peacefully. For instance, in
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: New York City jails, we have 15,000 illegals who are
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: also criminals. That's why they're in jail. They've committed crimes
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: and they're here illegally. ICE has asked that New York
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: City turn them over, peacefully turn over these prisoners to ICE.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: So they could be deported. If you're here illegally, you
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: should be deported. If you're here illegally and you're a criminal,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: of course you should be deported. And that's the Trump
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: administration policy when it comes to deportation. They want to
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: first and foremost just go after criminals, illegal criminals committing crimes, rape, robbery,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: gang members, that sort of stuff that are here illegally,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: deport them. And they've been doing that. They've done 500,000 already,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: 500,000 of them. These criminals have been deported. That's one
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: reason the crime numbers keep coming down all over America.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: All these different cities, crime has dropped. That's why, because
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: they're taking these illegal who are committing crimes. Just here
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: in New York, they've gotten a couple thousand criminals out
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: of here. Now, they've arrested 500,000 of these criminals off
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: the streets. 500,000 out of these 500,000. There have been
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: about three of these incidents where they had to shoot somebody.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Three out of 500,000. It's a pretty good record. So
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: what happened with this guy yesterday, he's an illegal. He's
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: gang affiliated. He's got some crimes. He's got a rap sheet.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: But it's New York. So even though he confessed that
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: he was guilty on the last robbery, they gave him probation.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: They didn't put him in jail. They let him run
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: around the streets. So he's got a kid in the car.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: It's believed it's his child, a five-year-old. Here's what we know.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: Forget all the yelling and screaming and grandstanding. This is
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: what we know. We have surveillance cameras all over the
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: streets of New York. You can see on the surveillance
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: camera that this guy's driving with the kid in his car,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: and he sees a parking space. And he backs up,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: trying to pull into this parking space. And as he's
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: pulling in, ICE agents approach the car. One on the
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: driver's side, and then one comes from the passenger's side. Now,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: this is a criminal with a rap sheet, and he's
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: a criminal who's been approached by ICE before. ICE has
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: tried to detain him before. So a lot of times
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: when you've got a real career criminal who's had run-ins
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: with the police, they don't want to get arrested again.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: He's also on probation, which would send him to prison.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: So he sees the ICE agents approach. They're undercover, but
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: he assumes they're cops. And this is what you can
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: see on the surveillance camera. As they approach his car,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: as he's trying to pull into the space, he sees
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: them and he pulls out of the space, trying to
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: speed away from them. Well, unfortunately, that's where it goes
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: out of camera range and there isn't another surveillance camera
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: on the street. So that's what the police commissioner has confirmed.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: On the New York City cameras, you can see as
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: ICE agents approach, he pulls away. Now, what the Department
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: of Homeland Security is saying is And they say they
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: have body cameras that show this. They haven't released it yet,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: but they say they will release it later. They want
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: the investigation to take place first. And then they said
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: they will release the body camera footage. So if they
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: release it and their story holds up with the body
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: cam footage, then that's it. Case closed. Shooting justified. What
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: they're saying is, as the guy tried to speed away
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: with his car, there were other ICE agents in cars.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: And they tried to box him in so he couldn't
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: get away. And then apparently he rammed his car into
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: these law enforcement cars. He rammed his car into theirs
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: and then tried to run over some police officers, some
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: ICE agents who were standing, not in cars, but standing
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: on the street. He tried to run them over. Well,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: if this is the case, they're saying that's what happened.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: If the body cam footage backs it up, then that's it.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: Justified shooting. Absolutely, thousand percent justified. So we're just waiting
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: to see that body cam footage. I would assume it's
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: all true because why would the Secretary of Homeland Security
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: say all this, release all this, if he couldn't back
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: it up? So we're just waiting for that body cam footage.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: And that's the end of the matter. Despite the grandstanding,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: despite Mamdani.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: New York City will not stand by while ICE agents
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: shoot New Yorkers.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: And we will not back down.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: from the demand that so many, including myself, have put
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: forward time and again.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: This is an agency that must be abolished.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, they're not shooting New Yorkers. No New Yorkers are
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: targets of ICE. They're going after illegals, who are not
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: supposed to be here, illegals, and only after illegals have
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: committed crimes and are gang-affiliated or have rap sheets. And now,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: after this, Mamdani goes into a rage, grandstanding like crazy.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: He says he was on the phone... Listen to this.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: For the past two hours, I have been on the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullen negotiating the release
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's the real story. He was on the phone
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: with Mullen and the Department of Homeland Security for two hours. Yes,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: the President talked to him, but that was five minutes
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: of the two hours. Now, here's the problem.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 8: When.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: demanded the release of this guy, the Trump administration agreed
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: to release the guy. They said they would release him
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: to the NYPD, you know, as long as the NYPD
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: would hold the guy in custody. That's not what Mamdani
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: was asking for. Mamdani demanded the guy be released back
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: into the streets. Dangerous criminal. He wanted him released back
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: into the streets, which is obviously irrational Obviously, reckless, stupid. Now,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: the ICE agents fired at the car. Apparently, they fired
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: seven shots. Only one went through the windshield. You can
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: see one bullet hole, and it hit this illegal in
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: the neck. He was taken to the hospital. Apparently, he
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: was not badly hurt, not too badly hurt, because they
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: released him. Hours later they released him. So that was
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: what Mamdani was demanding. He was demanding they let this
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: guy go, let him back into the streets. This criminal
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: with the rap sheet, this is typical Mamdani. Criminal, career criminal,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: gang affiliations, let him roam the streets. That's what Mamdani
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: was fighting for. Now, One reason he might be grandstanding
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: like crazy, this is October 8th yesterday. October 7th, Mamdani
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: got himself into a lot of trouble. Mamdani crossed a
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: line on October 7th. He's openly anti-Semitic, very anti-Israel, but
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: to the point where it's obvious anti-Semitism. You know, if
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: you hate Israel, the country, for some reason, that's one thing.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: You lay out exactly what you don't want them to
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: do And you try to get them to stop doing something.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: If you want Israel gone, abolished, then you're anti-Semitic. You know,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: they keep saying, I'm just anti-Israel. You can't separate the
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: two completely. Every ethnic group has a homeland, a country.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: The French have a country. It's called France. Germany has
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: a country. It's called Germany. The Brits have a country.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: It's called the UK, England. To say that one ethnic group,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: the Jews, can't have a homeland... It's absolute anti-Semitism. Of
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: course they have to have a homeland. Of course they
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: should have a homeland. Of course they should have a country.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: So it's real anti-Semitism. But October 7th, he pretended to
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: be somewhat supportive of the Jews by going to this vigil,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: this candlelight vigil for those killed on October 7th. But
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: then he published online the most disgusting, vile, anti-Semitic, stuff
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: against Jews, against Israel. It was just horrifying. And the
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: reason I say he crossed the line, there were people
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: that were defending him on his anti-Semitism. You know, even
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: political commentators. You know, Mark Halpern, who, this guy's all
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: over the map, but even he always defended Mamdani. He said,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously he's not fond of Jews, but you're
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: throwing the anti-Semitism word around too much. He was defending.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: There were people like that. Well, after October 7th, they
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: all came out publicly and said, I was wrong. This
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: guy is an anti-Semite. So some of the people, even
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: some of the Democrats who were defending Mamdani after October
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: 7th and what he published said, to do this, to
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: publish this anytime is horrible. To do it on October
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: 7th is absolutely an outrage. So even a lot of
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: the people defending Mamdani turned on him. They said he
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: clearly is Deeply, deeply anti-Semitic. So he went too far. Now,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: the problem is he was trying to play both sides
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: of the aisle, the Jews, the Jew haters, but he
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: ended up getting them all mad at him. Jews were
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: jeering him. and then his anti-semitic base well they were
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: mad at him too for going to the vigil so
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: clearly he crossed the line really crossed the line and
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: lost both sides so that's why when this ice shooting
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: happened I think he went crazy trying to grandstand off it. Hey,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: now there's another problem here. Mamdani appointed all these crazies
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: into all these departments here. He's got a new transportation secretary.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: You know, they always get this war on cars. First,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: they put in bike lanes. Then there's certain Bloomberg was
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: guilty of this, this war on cars. Made a pedestrian
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: plaza right in the middle of Times Square. No cars.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: Herald Square. It's just ridiculous. You look at the window here,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: 6th Avenue.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 15: Look at that.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Used to be like a five-lane street. Now it's two
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: lanes of bike lanes. It's another bike lane. It's a
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: pedicab lane. It's an electric scooter lane. Maybe there's one
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: lane for cars. It's ridiculous. So they screwed up the streets.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: They're trying to stop, you know, make more. They want
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: to do more pedestrian plazas. But listen to this. Mondani's
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: transportation boss. They're really trying to win this war on cars.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: They're going to go after parking spaces. They're going to
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: go after parking. The Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: told an audience that car owners are wealthy elitists and
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: we should go after them. He said car owning is
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: a burden for the lower income. He's going to target parking.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: He said it's a giveaway. So I guess they're going
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: to go after the parking spaces and make it impossible
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: to park. They'll do anything to get these cars to
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: go away. Now, If you park in a garage in
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: New York or you live in a building where you've
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: got a garage, they can try to go after the garages.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: That's tough, though, because all these, the garage, like the
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: one over there, they rent it from the building. The
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: building is the landlord, not the city. But you'll see
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: the city. There are municipal lots. You'll see them probably
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: go after those. They're trying to do this. Now, how
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: many people own cars? Staten Island, 85% have cars. Queens, 63%
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: have cars. This is the majority in Queens and Staten Island. Brooklyn,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: it's 45%, about half. The Bronx, it's 40%. Manhattan, just 23%
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: have cars. But there are some Democrats, and this is ridiculous,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: punishing drivers by making commuting harder. It doesn't force people
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: onto bikes in public transit. It just puts an incredible
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: burden on them. You know, a lot of people are
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: using cars because they need to use a car for
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: one reason or another. And as another person pointed out,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: transportation is not up to one person. Everybody should have choices.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: You know, where's your freedom of choice? You want to
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: have a car? You want to have a bike? It
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: should be a matter of choice, not the government telling
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: you how you're allowed to get around. Absolutely ridiculous. Hey,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: anybody tells you New York is dying? Not the case.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: Manhattan rent. You know, the rental market's going crazy in Manhattan.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: People are moving here like crazy. Go try to rent
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: an apartment. You can't do it right now. And if
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: you can find one, the rent is at an all-time high.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Rent average now is $ 6, 800 a month. $ 6, 800 a month.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: Manhattan rent's going crazy. Brooklyn has logged the busiest September ever.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: In six years, people coming to New York more than ever,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: vacancy rate is now 1.5%. Fifth consecutive year, that's really low.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: That's incredibly low. That's because the vacancy rate is minuscule
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: and there's no inventory. Inventory has now declined year over
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: year for two straight years. So rental going crazy right now.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: which means people are moving here. And remember, people come,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: all the people renting, all these people come and rent.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: Many of them will start to buy next year. A
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people who are renting are trying out a place,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: a city. And then if they like it a year,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: two years, they decide to buy. So when the rental
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: market goes crazy, it means the buying market will go
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: crazy next year and the year after. Hey, we'll take
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. Give me a call,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: especially if you're a new caller.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 8: 800-321-0710.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Now 9 till noon weekdays.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 11: Mark Simone.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: Only on 710WOR.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, in Huntington, Long Island, there's a great Italian restaurant,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: Posto Pozzo. I love this place. It's owned by two brothers,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: Joey Patron, Luigi Patron. Luigi sends me a note here.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: He's in Starbucks this morning. And there's these kids yelling
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: and screaming about the price of gas. It's $ 4 a gallon.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: They can't believe it. Outrage, it's $ 4 a gallon. He
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: then watches them pay $ 7. 50 for a coffee, $ 7. 50 for
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: some fancy coffee, 20 ounces. So he figured it out.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: If you bought Starbucks by the gallon, it's $ 42 a gallon.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: So they're outraged. Gas is $ 4 a gallon. but they
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: don't mind paying $ 42 a gallon for a Starbucks. Speaking
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: of Huntington, let's go to Eddie in Huntington. Eddie, how
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 20: Hey, good morning, Mark. Just in regards to that shooting
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 20: with ice, I don't know what the federal guidelines are,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 20: but I was in the police department 36 years. And
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 20: the only time we could shoot a vehicle coming out
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 20: of it, if they were using something, a deadly physical
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 20: force other than the vehicle, we couldn't get out of
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 20: the way. So in other words, If they had a
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 20: gun and they were shooting at us, we could fire back.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 20: But if they were coming at us with just a vehicle,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 20: we'd have to try and move.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you try and move. Where are you a cop?
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: New York City?
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 20: Yeah, 36 years. And the other issue for us was
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 20: if you're fighting that vehicle, you killed a guy. What's
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 20: going to happen to the vehicle after he's dead? Run
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 20: into a store, a bunch of old ladies. So hopefully
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 20: that video shows that those offices couldn't get out of
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 20: the way.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: That would be the issue, I think. All right. Good point.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Good point. We'll see. they now dhs says they will
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: release the body cam video and that we'll see it
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: let's go to phil suffolk county phil how.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 21: You doing hello mark thanks for taking my call anybody
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 21: who saw that uh michigan senate uh debate between ied
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 21: and uh rogers rogers accounted himself very well he tied
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 21: uh Syed to Hamas and Hezbollah. And while Syed is
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 21: a little, he's eloquent, but Ed Rollins must have a
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 21: soft spot in his head to not agree that Rogers
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 21: is going to win.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: Well, right now it's neck and neck. He did very
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: well in the debate. Here's Rogers.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 12: What my friend here just wants to do is he's
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 12: kind of like a glitchy AI chatbot is say the
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 12: same thing over and over and over again.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: But let me tell you this.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 12: He has taken money from groups associated and support the
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 12: Muslim Brotherhood. He has taken money from individuals on his
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 12: campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now there's a lot of radical stuff in parts
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: of Michigan, you know, Dearborn, Ann Arbor. But the whole
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: state of Michigan is pretty sane and mostly Midwestern kind
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: of conservative. So Rogers most likely will win. Let's go
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: to Daniel in Westchester. Daniel, how you doing?
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 18: Hi, Mark.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 14: Everybody should realize the Jews are the indigenous people of
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 14: the Middle East. The Muslims are the invaders.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep forgetting to call them that. They are
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: the indigenous people in Israel. Indigenous. Democrats love that word.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. Thanks for calling. Marco in New Jersey. Marco,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: what do you want to say?
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I got two things.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 20: Hopefully you'll let me say it.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: No, give me one. If it's interesting, we might let
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: you do a second one.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 16: Okay, so the first one is, is Trump a criminal?
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: All right, that's your last one. Thanks for calling. Let's
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Mark. Mark, what the retired NYPD police officer
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 15: forgot to mention is, I follow federal guidelines, not New
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 15: York City, not New York State guidelines. Mark, this is
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 15: another great talking point. I hope you bring it up
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 15: with Bruce Blakeman when he comes on. How did this
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 15: illegal alien get a driver's license, and how was he
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 15: able to register that car? And here's another thing. When
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 15: I was coming up, real wise guys never traveled with
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 15: their wife and kids because among wise guys, there was
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 15: a code of honor. You don't go after each other's
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 15: wife and kids. So the wise guys never traveled with
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 15: their wife and kids. If this guy was such a fine,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 15: upstanding citizen that Mayor Mondami wants to make him out
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 15: to be, what are you doing with that kid in
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 15: your car? And when people say, gang affiliated, give me
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 15: a break. Well, when I was young and you heard, oh,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 15: this person was affiliated with Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, that
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 15: meant that they were in the life, Mark. That didn't mean.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess what they mean, you know, you could
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: be a maid mob guy and then you could be
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: what they call an associate, which means they're using you for.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 15: You go do the dirty work and everything. You're one
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 15: of the button men and everything.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 12: And.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 15: Mark, I got sick last night when I'm hearing all
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 15: these race-hustling community organizers feigning outrage. As a Life magazine
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 15: reporter once told me, she says the first thing that
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 15: cheesy politicians do and cheesy leaders do They hide behind
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 15: the skirts of women and children.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 19: Oh, and there was a five-year-old child in that car.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 19: What did that guy have his kid in the car for?
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 19: Because he knew he could also have been whacked by
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 19: another criminal who had it in for him.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: Very good points, Vincent. We've got to go for the news,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: but excellent points. Great call, as always. Hey, when we
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: come back, we'll talk to Bruce Blakeman. He's supposed to be, well,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: we'll see what he's going to be doing today. It
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: might be with President Trump. The debate's coming up Tuesday.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: We'll ask him about all this next on 710WOR.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: Well, Bruce Blakeman would be the perfect governor for New York.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: We're all hoping and praying that he wins. Now, it's
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: not too late to help his campaign. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Donate, volunteer,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: whatever you can do. BlakemanForNewYork.com. Bruce Blakeman, how you doing?
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 18: Mark, it's always a pleasure to be with you. I'm
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 18: doing great.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, let me ask you this first. Kathy Hochul has
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: been spending millions of dollars on attack ads against you.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: She's running them 24-7. That usually indicates panic on her part.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: Has she looked at the internal polling? Is that why
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: she's doing this?
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 18: Well, according to my friends in the Democratic Party, her
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 18: hair is on fire because we're in a virtual dead heat.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 18: She never expected to be in that position. She wants
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 18: to talk about everything but her record because it's a
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 18: record of misery and failure. Think about it. The highest
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 18: taxed state in America. Utility bill 70% higher than the
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 18: national average. And she's the most pro-criminal governor in the
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 18: United States of America. Mark, she doesn't want to talk
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 18: about her record because she's made everybody miserable.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, to do these attack ads, they had to
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: do all kinds of opposition research on you. And apparently
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: the only thing they found is you're friends with Donald Trump.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 18: Sorry.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: It's quite a compliment that that's all they came up with.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 18: It's absolutely hysterical because all she says is Trump, Trump, Trump, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA. Look,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 18: Donald Trump's a friend of mine. But if there's anything
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 18: about me that I've demonstrated throughout the years is that
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 18: I make my own decisions. I don't take orders from anybody.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 18: I work for you, the taxpayers. That's who I'm beholden to.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 18: So she can say whatever she wants. But the fact
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 18: of the matter is, I have a record of cutting taxes. U.S.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 18: News & World Report said we have the safest county
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 18: in America. And Kathy Hochul doesn't talk about her record
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 18: because it's one of failure.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, the fact that you're friends with Donald Trump,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: the fact that he likes you, wouldn't that mean you
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: could get more done for New York, more money, more whatever,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: than she can?
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 18: Well, I'm sure it does. And it's always good, whether
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 18: it's a Republican president or a Democratic president, when the
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 18: president returns your call, and listens to you. So I
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 18: plan to use my relationship with the president to get
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 18: more for New York, to get our fair share, and
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 18: to make sure that we restore our economy here in
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 18: New York. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 18: in the last year. Hundreds of thousands of people are leaving.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 18: It's just a death spiral right now, Mark, and we've
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 18: got to pull out of that death spiral and I
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 18: can assure you I'm the pilot that can pull us
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 18: out of that death spiral.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you've done it for Nassau County. You're considered the
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: best county executive in America. That's basically the same job
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: as governor. Hey, the president's schedule has him in Syracuse
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: later today. Are you going to Syracuse?
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 18: I'm on my way to the airport right now.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. So that'll be good. So you're going to
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: campaign with him?
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 18: Yeah, we're going to have a rally in Syracuse. The
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 18: people in upstate New York are very excited. They rarely
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 18: get a visit from the President of the United States,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 18: so this is very special to them. And you know, Mark,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 18: Kathy Hochul likes to portray me as this right-wing extremist.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 18: You know, I've been endorsed by liberal Democrats because they
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 18: know I'm a common-sense person, that I'm a reasonable person.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 18: I mean, Deborah Messing is a Democrat liberal. She's an actress.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 18: She never supports Republicans. She endorsed me. Bonnie Lautenberg, the
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 18: widow of Senator Frank Lautenberg. Frank Lautenberg was a pillar
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 18: of the Democratic Party in the United States Senate. His widow,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 18: a Democrat, a liberal, is endorsing me for governor because
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 18: their party is not liberal anymore. It's insane. They want
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 18: to become a socialist, anti-Semite, anti-Christian, anti-American party.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 7: And.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 18: My election will actually help the Democratic Party because it'll
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 18: be the beginning of the end of the DSA.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. Hey, Tuesday night is the debate. Kathy
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: Hochul has turned down all the real TV stations. She's
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: only agreed to New York One. So what do you
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: think will happen Tuesday night?
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 18: Well, I'm very happy to talk about my record. I'm
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 18: sure she's not going to talk about her record. And
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 18: I think we'll have some fun. I think it will
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 18: be instructive to people who watch or listen. They'll get
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 18: to know more about me. They'll get to know more
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 18: about her record, which many of them already know because
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 18: they tell me they're miserable under Kathy Hochul. So it's
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 18: a good opportunity. Hopefully it will be about the issues
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 18: affecting New Yorkers, state issues. Kathy Hochul will try and
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 18: make it into a food fight. That's not my intention.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 18: My intention is to talk issues.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: Now it's New York One, very few viewers. The other
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: problem is it's the most liberal, biased... Errol Lewis, very
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: nice guy, but very, very left wing. He's going to
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: run the debate. That's not a problem. That doesn't bother you,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: does it? You can handle that.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 18: It doesn't bother me at all. And probably by the
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 18: end of the debate, Errol will be voting for me
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 18: as well.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: That could be. Hey, the ICE incident yesterday in New York, Mamdani, Tisch.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: not Tish, Letitia James, all grandstanding like crazy. What do
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: you think will happen with this? It looks like the
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: body cam footage will be released.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 18: Well, first of all, I think the question has to
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 18: be asked, what was this guy doing in New York?
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 18: This is a guy... who's a convicted felon. He's an
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 18: illegal migrant. He's being charged with drug dealing right now.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 18: He's got another charge for drug dealing, and he's got
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 18: alleged associations with gangs. And he's an illegal migrant. What
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 18: is he doing in New York? Kathy Hochul's caused this
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 18: problem by creating a sanctuary state, which is like a
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 18: magnet to steel, For every illegal migrant with a criminal
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 18: record because Kathy Hochul won't let local law enforcement cooperate
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 18: with ICE. If NYPD was cooperating with ICE, I guarantee
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 18: you this probably would never have happened.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, explain in Nassau County you've had no problems
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: because you made sure that the local police cooperated with ICE, right?
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 18: We got out. Illegal migrants with criminal records ranging from murder,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 18: attempted murder, rape, robbery, burglary, drug dealing, and gang activity.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 18: We removed them without raiding a school, without raiding a
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 18: daycare center, without raiding a hospital, without raiding a church.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 18: It was all smooth and organized and safe. And then
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 18: Kathy Hochul said, we can't cooperate with ICE anymore. And
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 18: a 14-year-old girl in Nassau County was raped. by an
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 18: illegal migrant. Kathy Hochul, you have blood on your hands.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 18: That is something that should never be tolerated, and yet
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 18: you allow these people to remain in our state.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 14: Shame on you.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, Bruce Blakeman, you were like 20 points behind now
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: in the latest polling. I'm talking about the real polls,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: not the public ones, the real polls. You're neck and neck.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: You're both within the margin of error. In this other polling,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: apparently you have the big majority with independents. What does
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: that mean? Isn't that the key to winning independents?
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 18: Yeah, listen, I've consistently had a majority of independent men
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 18: and women supporting me. You can't believe these woke university polls,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 18: many of which are funded by the state. And who
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 18: controls the state? Kathy Hochul. So you can't believe them.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 18: We've seen a number of polls that show we're in
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 18: a statistical dead heat. So I am very confident that
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 18: if everybody gets out to vote and everybody does their part,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 18: that I will be the next governor of the state
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 18: of New York.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I hope you will. We really hope so.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: When they say a Republican can never win, didn't they
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: say that to you in Nassau County too?
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 18: They did. And here's the thing. Every day, another Democrat
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 18: comes up to me and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 18: I've never voted for Republicans in my life. I'm voting
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 18: for you this year. Because people are fed up, number one.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 18: Number two, people say, well, how can a Republican win
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 18: in a blue state? And I reply, how can Kathy
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 18: Hochul win when her unfavorables are anywhere between 50% to 60%
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 18: of the people think that she's doing a terrible job
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 18: and don't like her? So I believe those people are
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 18: going to come out on Election Day and vote for
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 18: me because they're fed up with her.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Is it really a blue state if you go north
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: of New York City? How blue is it?
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 18: It ain't very blue north of Westchester, I can tell
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 18: you that. But listen, even in the blue parts, you know,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 18: Erie County is a blue county. The last poll that
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 18: was done up there, I didn't do the poll. It's
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 18: not my poll. The last poll that was done 45 Blakeman,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 18: 45 Hochul.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 15: Okay?
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 18: That's Kathy Hochul's hometown, Buffalo. We're dead even. We're 10% undecided.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 18: The undecided generally break against the incumbent. We're going to
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 18: win Erie County. We're going to beat her in Buffalo,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 18: her hometown. She's booed at Buffalo Bill games.
• 1:42:43

• 1:44:28
  Speaker 19: 710WOR.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, first hour, we were talking about the Nobel Peace Prize,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: which has no validity at all. It's a left-wing, biased,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: crazy award. And President Trump, you know, saying, I should
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: get it. I settled five wars. I got the hostages released. Well,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: normally that's what you'd get a Nobel Peace Prize for.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: But it's a left-wing crazy award. Well, they gave it
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: to this idiot from the UN, Navi Pillay. Now, the
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: president putting up a really tough tweet about the Nobel
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: Committee shamed itself beyond repair, demeaned the once great Nobel
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: Peace Prize winner. by giving it to this hater of
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: America and Israel. And he goes into her background, apparently,
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: and she's with one of these fake international criminal court,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: fake made-up courts. And he points out, in her position,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: she celebrated terrorists, rewarded Hamas, conducted a phony investigation, claiming
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: Israel committed genocide, and urging prosecution of Israel. Well, that's
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: how she got the Nobel Peace Prize. I hate to
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: break it to you, but that's the way it works.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: He said, what can you expect from a committee that
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: also gave the Peace Prize to Yasser Arafat? It's a
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: very anti-Semitic award. Anyway, we're out of time. Hey, don't forget,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: if you're a podcast listener, on the weekends, we do
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: an extra show. If you listen to the podcast, some
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: people hear the show that way. They can't listen nine
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: to noon. So instead of listening live, they get the podcast. Well,
• 1:46:01
