Hour 2: What should happen to the Democratic Party? · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on seven too.
0:07
Speaker 2: Well, what it was today? It's Wednesday already, all right, tonight,
0:10
Speaker 2: I keep reminding you tonight seven o'clock mayoral debate. Curtis Cuomo, Mom, Donnie,
0:17
Speaker 2: you know, they don't actually even have to let the
0:19
Speaker 2: Cuomo in the debate. He's a third party candidate, he's
0:22
Speaker 2: not a major party candidate, but he will be in
0:24
Speaker 2: the debate this time. They've I guess, tossed a coin
0:28
Speaker 2: or something on speaking order. Curtis will go first. That's
0:34
Speaker 2: not a It's more important who goes last. Although I
0:37
Speaker 2: don't know if everybody will make it to the end
0:38
Speaker 2: of the debate. But it's tonight now.
0:40
Speaker 3: Oh.
0:40
Speaker 2: The difference is tonight's debate. The last one was Channel four.
0:44
Speaker 2: It was done in a TV studio without an audience.
0:47
Speaker 2: Tonight it'll be a Long Island city with an audience.
0:50
Speaker 2: It's a college auditorium. They will have an audience, so
0:54
Speaker 2: that can change the dynamic a little. Curtis very good
0:57
Speaker 2: in front of an audience, you know, when it comes
1:00
Speaker 2: to being in front of our audience for almost a
1:02
Speaker 2: lot of experience, But Mam Donnie's not that experienced in
1:05
Speaker 2: front of a live audience. Curtis, the most experienced, does
1:09
Speaker 2: speeches all the time, so that could help them. Down
1:13
Speaker 2: in Chinatown, a big uproar. People are all upset because
1:18
Speaker 2: terrible things were happening. Ice was there arresting illegals and
1:23
Speaker 2: Democrats in New York. When they see law enforcement enforcing
1:26
Speaker 2: the law, they get all upset. They do not like that,
1:30
Speaker 2: and apparently they we're cracking down. Hey, I don't know
1:32
Speaker 2: if I like this either. They were cracking down on
1:34
Speaker 2: the illegal vendors down there in Chinatown. Those are the
1:37
Speaker 2: ones that sell the fake Louis Vuittan, the fake Gucci.
1:41
Speaker 2: You know, some of that is kind of useful. I
1:42
Speaker 2: don't know if you want to get rid of all that.
1:43
Speaker 2: But again, they're there enforcing the law, arresting illegals. That's
1:49
Speaker 2: what law enforcement is supposed to do. But everybody was upset, angry.
1:53
Speaker 3: What are they doing to our city?
1:55
Speaker 4: Shot the citizens New York?
1:59
Speaker 2: Well, actually where they in the city, cleaning it up,
2:02
Speaker 2: enforcing the law. And they weren't going after the citizens
2:04
Speaker 2: in New York. They were going after illegals who broke
2:07
Speaker 2: into the country who were not citizens. Then you get
2:10
Speaker 2: this Jamani Williams who shows up.
2:12
Speaker 5: None of this is about public safety.
2:15
Speaker 2: It is about fear and chaos. Well, yeah, they are
2:20
Speaker 2: trying to create fear among illegals. That's why we've had
2:22
Speaker 2: almost two million self deport already. Chaos would be no
2:28
Speaker 2: border and millions flood into the country illegally, that would
2:31
Speaker 2: be chaos. But it's Jimani Williams left wing guy. These
2:35
Speaker 2: left wing cooks. They hate law enforcement, they hate enforcing
2:39
Speaker 2: the law. They love illegals for all sorts of reasons.
2:42
Speaker 2: They don't want to see those. They do not want
2:44
Speaker 2: to see the immigration laws enforced. Here's one of the
2:47
Speaker 2: great kooks of all time, Brad Lander. Angry Brad Lander.
2:50
Speaker 1: There is no excuse for sending military style vehicles and
2:55
Speaker 1: a national law enforcement responds.
3:00
Speaker 2: Now, he it's right about that. If you look at
3:02
Speaker 2: the video they are in, uh, it does look like
3:07
Speaker 2: a big military view. They look like troops in Iraq.
3:09
Speaker 2: The vehicle looks like that, and the officers are in it,
3:13
Speaker 2: says police. On their uniforms and on their vests. But
3:16
Speaker 2: their military style uniforms, you know, like green combat military
3:21
Speaker 2: with all the helmets and all this, so they do
3:23
Speaker 2: look military. But hey, I don't mind it. I mean,
3:27
Speaker 2: if it's enforcing the law. Remember the riots all over
3:30
Speaker 2: New York that summer and Cuomo would not send the
3:32
Speaker 2: National Guard in. That was more frightening than this. So
3:36
Speaker 2: I don't mind a lot of law enforcement. It's not
3:38
Speaker 2: a bad thing, but it drives these left wingers crazy. Hey,
3:42
Speaker 2: in the New Jersey race, it's Chittarelli and Mikey Cheryl,
3:46
Speaker 2: Mickey Mickey or Mikey whatever her name is, Mikey Cheryl. Okay,
3:52
Speaker 2: when last time you met a woman named Mikey Mikey Cheryl.
3:54
Speaker 2: But that's a cute name. But she's having trouble. Chitarelli
3:59
Speaker 2: has up to her in the polls. It's even now,
4:03
Speaker 2: so she's called in Obama to help. I guess it's
4:08
Speaker 2: not that important, Obama. It's not worth a trip. He's
4:10
Speaker 2: not flying in. He's supposed to fly in, appear with
4:14
Speaker 2: her at the rally, you know, hold her hand up
4:16
Speaker 2: in your hand to a big speech. You're supposed to
4:20
Speaker 2: do that. It's not that important, Obama. He's not flying
4:24
Speaker 2: in for this, so instead he made a video. It's
4:28
Speaker 2: like the guy that won't show up to the roast
4:30
Speaker 2: or the dinner, so he sends a video. It's a
4:32
Speaker 2: real cheap easy way, takes five minutes, you don't have
4:35
Speaker 2: to bother. So he sent a video to endorse her. Now, also,
4:40
Speaker 2: remember maybe it's a good thing he didn't fly in
4:42
Speaker 2: because anytime he would show up in those congressional races
4:46
Speaker 2: all over the country. Whenever he'd show up and campaigned
4:49
Speaker 2: for the person and endorse him, they would lose. His
4:51
Speaker 2: track record was like ninety seven percent of his candidates lost.
4:55
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe it's helping her. But I don't think
4:59
Speaker 2: he means much anymore. You know, he's from another era. Hey,
5:03
Speaker 2: George Santos got pardoned, Well, he didn't get parted, he
5:06
Speaker 2: got a sentence commuted. He's still convicted, so he's a
5:10
Speaker 2: free man and he's out and about. But local officials,
5:14
Speaker 2: local d local officials now talking about indicting him locally
5:18
Speaker 2: on local charges. Now, that could put him back in
5:21
Speaker 2: jail if he's convicted, and there's nothing President Trump can
5:25
Speaker 2: do about a local charge. The governor maybe could do something,
5:29
Speaker 2: but she's not, so he still could be in legal jeopardy.
5:34
Speaker 2: A couple of people in the prosecutors DA's have talked
5:37
Speaker 2: about possibly going after him to keep an eye on that.
5:41
Speaker 2: President Trump apparently is being pushed to pardon. Well again,
5:46
Speaker 2: not pardon, he would be commuting the sentence of p Diddy,
5:49
Speaker 2: which would mean still convicted. Everything stands. He just lets
5:53
Speaker 2: him out of jail, but he served two years. Some say,
5:56
Speaker 2: well that for what he got convicted of, two years
5:59
Speaker 2: is enough. I don't know, it'd be a little controversial.
6:03
Speaker 2: You can't keep commuting everybody's sentence. Although with Trump, you know,
6:06
Speaker 2: what is it ten to twelve people? With Obama it
6:09
Speaker 2: was a Biden. It was thirty five hundred pardons. It
6:12
Speaker 2: was out of control. Hey, another thing he's getting pushed on,
6:16
Speaker 2: you know, with the tariffs. It's been pretty successful with
6:18
Speaker 2: the tariffs. It hasn't caused inflation, it hasn't crashed the economy.
6:22
Speaker 2: All those people got it wrong. But it bothers some people.
6:26
Speaker 2: And he's talking about a tariff on coffee. That's scaring
6:32
Speaker 2: a lot of people because coffee is very expensive to
6:34
Speaker 2: begin with. I don't know why people pay it. Like,
6:37
Speaker 2: if you work here at iHeart, you get down the hall.
6:40
Speaker 2: We got like six coffee machines in the kitchen. It's free.
6:43
Speaker 2: I don't know why I have to go to Starbucks
6:45
Speaker 2: and pay eight dollars for something. But people do, and
6:48
Speaker 2: it's already very expensive in all these coffee places, so
6:51
Speaker 2: they don't want the price to go up. Now, the
6:53
Speaker 2: argument against Trump putting tariffs on coffee, and it's a
6:58
Speaker 2: pretty good argument against it. Supposedly, the reason you do
7:02
Speaker 2: the tariffs is to help America, so in other words,
7:06
Speaker 2: instead of importing, people will buy local and it will
7:10
Speaker 2: shift everything from foreign imports to local sources. But people
7:15
Speaker 2: are pointing out that's a good point. Ninety nine percent
7:18
Speaker 2: of coffee is imported. We really don't make coffee here
7:21
Speaker 2: in the US. Now. Maybe we should start, and maybe
7:23
Speaker 2: we could, but we don't really really. Maybe there's somebody
7:29
Speaker 2: upstate growing their own coffee or something, but ninety nine
7:33
Speaker 2: percent of it is imported, so we don't really we
7:37
Speaker 2: don't really need those tariffs. Hunter Biden has spoken out,
7:40
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know what he have
7:43
Speaker 2: copes they'll accomplish, but well, I guess I do. He
7:47
Speaker 2: was making a fortune under Joe with the influence peddling,
7:51
Speaker 2: getting millions and millions and millions of dollars from shady
7:54
Speaker 2: companies in the Ukraine, millions from China when on and
7:59
Speaker 2: when he ran out of that, he started selling these
8:01
Speaker 2: fake paintings for millions. He made millions on these phony
8:05
Speaker 2: fake paintings, you know, just a piece of junk, and
8:08
Speaker 2: he'd sell it for people. Pay you one hundred thousand
8:11
Speaker 2: for his painting, five hundred thousand. It was a way
8:13
Speaker 2: of giving him money legally without it being technically a bribe.
8:19
Speaker 2: It's an old scheme that was used in the Paola
8:21
Speaker 2: days and rock and roll. That's probably where he learned it.
8:25
Speaker 2: But that all stopped. You know, everybody's paying a million
8:28
Speaker 2: for his painting, five hundred thousand for his painting, fifty
8:31
Speaker 2: thousand for his pay He's making a fortune. As soon
8:34
Speaker 2: as Joe's out of office, nobody bought a painting. Ever again,
8:37
Speaker 2: that was the end of Hunter. Everybody else finding some
8:41
Speaker 2: other way to buy influence. So Hunter Biden got a
8:45
Speaker 2: pardon from Joe Biden, and speaking out yesterday, he said
8:48
Speaker 2: it was only because of Donald Trump. He blames Trump
8:50
Speaker 2: for this. Had Trump not won, I wouldn't have needed
8:53
Speaker 2: a pardon, But we were so worried about law fair,
8:56
Speaker 2: about retribution and all. This was his revenge tour. Hunter
9:01
Speaker 2: says it was clear he was going to conduct a
9:02
Speaker 2: revenge tour. That's the only reason I needed a pardon. Well,
9:07
Speaker 2: the other reason he's probably guilty of everything. They probably
9:09
Speaker 2: it could be a retribution revenge tour. But the point
9:13
Speaker 2: is you're actually guilty. You know, Comee's going to have
9:15
Speaker 2: a problem. John Bolton clearly has a problem. They've got
9:18
Speaker 2: him dead to rights. I mean, there's almost no way
9:21
Speaker 2: out of a conviction for John Bolton, and it looks
9:24
Speaker 2: like Clapper will be next. Oh no, excuse me, Brennan.
9:27
Speaker 2: Clapper is probably down the road. John Brennan, former CIA director,
9:32
Speaker 2: very very shady guy who was caught up in the
9:35
Speaker 2: Russia hoax. He was, I mean, just disgusting what he
9:40
Speaker 2: did trying to get Trump. CIA director John Brennan. So
9:46
Speaker 2: he testified before a Congressional committee, the Judiciary Committee. They
9:50
Speaker 2: have now referred him to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.
9:56
Speaker 2: As the chairman pointed out, Brennan made numerous willful, intentionally
10:01
Speaker 2: false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established
10:07
Speaker 2: by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He made,
10:10
Speaker 2: according to Jordan, made false statements before Congress. It's a
10:14
Speaker 2: crime that people have convicted for so they could have
10:19
Speaker 2: Brennan here convicted. Now you could say, well, it's retribution.
10:24
Speaker 2: It could be, but if you're guilty, you're guilty if
10:27
Speaker 2: you did it. It's also justice at the same time.
10:31
Speaker 2: And remember law fair is when you get indicted in
10:33
Speaker 2: four cities at the same time, like Donald Trump, that's
10:37
Speaker 2: law fair. Hey, in Israel, you've got Wick Cough, You've
10:42
Speaker 2: got Jared Kushner, You've got Vice President Vance over there
10:47
Speaker 2: trying to settle this thing, trying to keep it calm.
10:50
Speaker 2: Looks like Marco Rubio will head over there tomorrow. It's
10:53
Speaker 2: going to take four people now to keep Netanyahu calm,
10:57
Speaker 2: keep everything on track. But video released yesterday shows things
11:03
Speaker 2: going on in Gaza, Hamas torturing, executing Palestinians that were
11:10
Speaker 2: just begging for relief. Footage shows Hamas gunman shooting Palestinians
11:18
Speaker 2: in the street. First, they've badly beaten man. They beat
11:22
Speaker 2: this guy so badly, then shot him in the leg
11:25
Speaker 2: and the Torso there's video of all this, and there's
11:28
Speaker 2: a second one who breaks down crying a terrorist. Hamas
11:32
Speaker 2: then shoots him. Israel putting out this video that they
11:36
Speaker 2: got a hold of saying to the media, we call
11:38
Speaker 2: on all media outlets to give appropriate coverage to this.
11:43
Speaker 2: You've shown every other kind of footage, show this footage.
11:47
Speaker 2: Responsible journalism should shine a light on this problem and
11:52
Speaker 2: do something about it. Now, if Israel's counting on the
11:56
Speaker 2: media in America to be fair, that's not a good thing.
11:59
Speaker 2: It's not going to work. Hey, there's a Democrat running
12:03
Speaker 2: in Nassau County for District attorney, so they ran commercials
12:08
Speaker 2: tying her to Zoron Mom Donnie. She's now threatening to
12:13
Speaker 2: sue the Republican Party. That's how bad things are for
12:16
Speaker 2: this Mom Donnie, a Democrat candidate, is suing the GOP
12:21
Speaker 2: for trying to connect her to Zoron Mom Donnie. She
12:25
Speaker 2: said it's completely fabricated, false, defamatory. She wants nothing to
12:29
Speaker 2: do with Mom Donnie. She wants no connection to Mom
12:34
Speaker 2: Donnie and is willing to sue over it. Hey, they
12:37
Speaker 2: had a big they call it the Rose Garden Club.
12:40
Speaker 2: This is the beautiful new Rose Garden Terrace. It's enormous
12:44
Speaker 2: with tables and chairs. It's one of the most beautiful
12:47
Speaker 2: outdoor dining places in the world. And yesterday President Trump
12:51
Speaker 2: invited a lot of the Senate for lunch special Senate lunch.
12:56
Speaker 2: He made a big speech to all of them, but
12:58
Speaker 2: everybody noticed he didn't invite and Paul. He was left
13:01
Speaker 2: out of the group, and in fact, during a Trump's
13:05
Speaker 2: speech he talked about some of the achievements the Republican
13:07
Speaker 2: Party made while also throwing in again and Ran Paul
13:11
Speaker 2: didn't vote for this, so they had been friendly for
13:14
Speaker 2: a while, but apparently that's over a lot of tension
13:18
Speaker 2: now between between Ran Paul and Trump, and he was snubbed,
13:22
Speaker 2: not invited to the luncheon. So anyway, don't forget Tonight's
13:27
Speaker 2: the debate seven o'clock. I have no idea what Curtis
13:30
Speaker 2: will bring him, but you know, he could bring up
13:32
Speaker 2: the fact that Cuoma's not really in the campaign. Cuomo
13:35
Speaker 2: still hasn't opened a campaign headquarters, he's not actively campaigning anywhere.
13:39
Speaker 2: He does some TV shows, but that's about it. Curtis
13:43
Speaker 2: is in every neighborhood every week, and reporters noted said
13:48
Speaker 2: to Cuomo, you know, you don't seem to be out
13:50
Speaker 2: there on the campaign trail. You're not working in the neighborhoods.
13:53
Speaker 2: He didn't really respond to anything, but hey, will take
13:57
Speaker 2: some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three to two
14:00
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
14:03
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten.
14:05
Speaker 5: Yea more, Mark simone on.
14:12
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Tony
14:15
Speaker 2: in Westchester, Tony.
14:16
Speaker 6: How you doing great?
14:18
Speaker 2: Mark?
14:19
Speaker 7: I don't understand something and I think you you'll say
14:22
Speaker 7: it best is you know, if Trump was last there,
14:27
Speaker 7: he would have put Hillary in prison, you know, ten
14:30
Speaker 7: years ago. And then Obama comes out and as all
14:34
Speaker 7: the Democrats do and say it's law there and Trump
14:39
Speaker 7: getting his revenge. He needs to clean up the DJ
14:42
Speaker 7: and that's what he's doing, isn't.
14:43
Speaker 2: He Yeah, yeah, definitely. It's a good point. You know,
14:47
Speaker 2: when it came to Hillary, he's not a vengeful guy.
14:49
Speaker 2: He's not a you know, a guy who gets retribution.
14:51
Speaker 2: This's is not him. He never does that. But some
14:55
Speaker 2: people thought after that first term was over, Yo, you
14:57
Speaker 2: didn't do enough to stop these people. Maybe you should
14:59
Speaker 2: have gone after Hillary. And then this was different what
15:02
Speaker 2: they did to him and his family. This was total
15:05
Speaker 2: out of control lawfare. It was imagine being on trial
15:09
Speaker 2: in four cities at the same time. It was just ridiculous.
15:12
Speaker 2: So and you look back at that Russia hoax. What
15:14
Speaker 2: a crazy, insane thing they tried to pull. So you
15:17
Speaker 2: got to make sure that doesn't happen again. And again
15:19
Speaker 2: Trump's style is to let it go. But you got
15:23
Speaker 2: to do something. You got to create a deterrent so
15:25
Speaker 2: nobody pulls that crap again. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
15:29
Speaker 2: how you doing, Good morning, Mark.
15:31
Speaker 5: I'm doing very well.
15:32
Speaker 2: Thank you. Mark.
15:33
Speaker 5: I have two questions about Madami.
15:35
Speaker 2: Please.
15:36
Speaker 5: First of all, if you're the president of the United States,
15:39
Speaker 5: you have to be a natural born citizen. Why doesn't
15:42
Speaker 5: this law apply for mayor of New York or any
15:45
Speaker 5: other major city? And the last question is have we
15:48
Speaker 5: ever learned the results of the investigation into his wealth?
15:52
Speaker 2: Well, it's coming, it's coming. But the first question, Yeah,
15:55
Speaker 2: that's just the way the founding fathers did it. You
15:57
Speaker 2: only have to be born here to be president. I
16:00
Speaker 2: guess that's because you're conducting foreign policy and we could
16:04
Speaker 2: be at war with the country you're from. I guess
16:06
Speaker 2: that's the reason. In the case of a mayor or
16:08
Speaker 2: a governor, you're not dealing with foreign policy, so you
16:11
Speaker 2: don't have to have been born in the country. Schwarzenegger
16:14
Speaker 2: was governor of California, wasn't born here. A lot of
16:16
Speaker 2: examples the difference with Mam Donnie. You know, Schwarzeger had
16:19
Speaker 2: been here for a long time. Mam Donnie came to
16:22
Speaker 2: this country like twelve minutes ago and only recently became
16:25
Speaker 2: a citizen. So it's a little odd. Let's go to Shelley,
16:30
Speaker 2: Rockland County. Shelley, how you doing.
16:33
Speaker 6: Hi, pleasure to speak to you. I'm concerned about exception tampering.
16:38
Speaker 6: We don't want to take away any votes from the
16:41
Speaker 6: only good, righteous camp. Some elect and I have a
16:44
Speaker 6: ceiling that there's going to be some election Tampa.
16:46
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, I remember it's New York City. There's
16:50
Speaker 2: always been election fraud in New York City. Even the
16:52
Speaker 2: Democrats will admit that to you privately. It's always been
16:56
Speaker 2: that way, especially Manhattan. They do some funny business sometimes.
17:01
Speaker 2: But the expert that campaign people will tell you though,
17:04
Speaker 2: even the fraud, if you're lucky, it's only five to
17:07
Speaker 2: seven percent, but it means you got to win by
17:09
Speaker 2: a lot more. There are people saying we should also
17:13
Speaker 2: you get a lot of illegals voting. There are people
17:15
Speaker 2: saying an ice officeer should be at every balling place
17:19
Speaker 2: just to keep things clean. That might be a good idea.
17:22
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark and Brooklyn. Mark, how you doing?
17:25
Speaker 3: Yes? Sorry, good morning, walk?
17:26
Speaker 2: How are you good?
17:28
Speaker 3: Good? I was going to guess I wanted to make
17:30
Speaker 3: a couple of comments, and then a suggestion.
17:33
Speaker 2: Can't come in with the whole playlist? How about one
17:36
Speaker 2: com We'll see if we want to continue.
17:38
Speaker 3: All right, there's a fine line between ideology and pragmatism,
17:41
Speaker 3: and from what I see, even though I would strongly
17:44
Speaker 3: support course, see what these numbers are just not there?
17:48
Speaker 2: So well, how do you know it?
17:50
Speaker 3: Well? If you look at the percentage, says following in percentage.
17:53
Speaker 2: How do you know? How do you know what the
17:54
Speaker 2: numbers are?
17:56
Speaker 3: Well, they're on the radio and on TV.
17:59
Speaker 2: I know your voting. This poll from Monday, which was
18:01
Speaker 2: actually done by Cuomo people, and it's a polling company
18:04
Speaker 2: I never heard of, and again done by Cuomo people.
18:07
Speaker 2: I wouldn't take it too seriously. I wouldn't trust that
18:10
Speaker 2: poll at all. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
18:14
Speaker 2: how you doing?
18:15
Speaker 4: I'm doing good? Mark? And yesterday I asked the woman's
18:18
Speaker 4: comment about illegals and your comment about they busted twenty
18:23
Speaker 4: four hundred dollars in Texas. They found that twenty four
18:26
Speaker 4: hundred illegals actually voted, and they're calling for other states
18:31
Speaker 4: to look into their electoral records to see if it's
18:36
Speaker 4: going on there. You know, Mondami goes around his big
18:40
Speaker 4: catch freighter and his big word is affordability. Well, please
18:44
Speaker 4: let me remind all New York is, as Ronald Reagan said,
18:50
Speaker 4: government is not the solution. Government is the problem. The
18:55
Speaker 4: reason why it is so expensive to live in New
18:58
Speaker 4: York City and New York State these days. Also Jersey Is.
19:03
Speaker 4: For example. Look on your either landline phone bill or
19:08
Speaker 4: your cell bill. There's all these charges, nickel and dime
19:11
Speaker 4: charges for things you've never even heard of. Now, what
19:15
Speaker 4: the city has did. They've notified all the landlords and
19:18
Speaker 4: the co op managers recently that we have to have
19:23
Speaker 4: lead paint inspections in our apartments. And they're very, very pricey.
19:30
Speaker 4: I've been going around getting estimates. Here's another example. Last week,
19:35
Speaker 4: the city council, these boneheads who've never ran even a
19:39
Speaker 4: lemonade stand, passed the law that when you have a
19:43
Speaker 4: new stove installed in an apartment. You have to have
19:47
Speaker 4: a master plumber come, not even a regular plumber, a
19:53
Speaker 4: master plumber come and install that stove. A master plumber
19:59
Speaker 4: you're talking about just to walk in the door anywhere
20:02
Speaker 4: from two point fifty to five hundred dollars to do
20:05
Speaker 4: five or five minutes work in years pasted it. I've
20:08
Speaker 4: had this experience. If you had the new stove delivered
20:12
Speaker 4: to the apartment in question, the gas company would gladly
20:17
Speaker 4: send around a technician to hook it up and to
20:21
Speaker 4: test it. In five minutes, it's done. Now you can't
20:24
Speaker 4: do it. And who they're gonna pass that price? I
20:28
Speaker 4: know I am. I'm gonna pass it on to the tenants.
20:32
Speaker 4: You want that new stove, you're gonna That's.
20:35
Speaker 2: A good point. Good point, Vincent, thanks for calling you.
20:37
Speaker 2: That's affordability crisis, a lot of it caused by Democrats
20:40
Speaker 2: with overregulation on apartments and buildings and everything. Anyway, Well, hey,
20:45
Speaker 2: when we come back and Culter, we'll be with us.
20:48
Speaker 2: Next we'll talk to her about ice, the Merrill race,
20:50
Speaker 2: no kings, all sorts of stuff coming up on seven
20:53
Speaker 2: to ten wo r Mark seven, wr Well and Culture.
21:01
Speaker 2: The best selling offer of the Great Column let's make
21:03
Speaker 2: sure you follow a Twitter and even better as substack
21:07
Speaker 2: because on subjects he's got columns, podcast videos, interviews, all
21:11
Speaker 2: sorts of stuff. Just go to and culture dot substack
21:14
Speaker 2: dot com and culture.
21:16
Speaker 1: How you doing fantastic? How are you? Marximon?
21:19
Speaker 2: Good?
21:20
Speaker 3: No?
21:20
Speaker 2: Did I see you marching in that No Kings thing
21:23
Speaker 2: on Saturday?
21:25
Speaker 1: Uh? No, I would have brought the average age down
21:28
Speaker 1: and I can buy about thirty years.
21:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did look like Halloween at the Senior Center,
21:35
Speaker 2: didn't it.
21:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very weird that these I mean, this has
21:39
Speaker 1: got to be like the Bill Clinton generation and they
21:43
Speaker 1: really think it's the Summer of love and they get
21:45
Speaker 1: to have re sex and they're young and good looking,
21:47
Speaker 1: and boy they aren't. Oh that that ship has sale.
21:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it was more like the Eugene McCarthy generation,
21:55
Speaker 2: the George mcgoverny generation.
21:57
Speaker 1: So hey, Charles Manson generations.
22:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. Today yesterday in Chinatown Ice rated they were resting illegals,
22:08
Speaker 2: illegal vendors, and the Democrats were up in arms protesting.
22:14
Speaker 2: Now is that a good idea? You know, those illegal
22:16
Speaker 2: vendors in Chinatown, that's where you get the counterfeit Gucci
22:19
Speaker 2: and Louis Vutan, and do we really want to eliminate that.
22:24
Speaker 2: We kind of like that.
22:25
Speaker 1: I would think that more people would be sympathetic to
22:28
Speaker 1: keeping that than keeping many many other places alleged illegals go.
22:37
Speaker 1: But I do think it's a little bit different the
22:40
Speaker 1: traditional canal street vendors they have they have storefronts, so
22:45
Speaker 1: I don't even know that they're they're illegal. The new
22:48
Speaker 1: push I gather was from the African selling stuff on
22:52
Speaker 1: the street, and I do think that that is quite
22:55
Speaker 1: different than having a store front that that does start
22:58
Speaker 1: to look like a very peasant third world country where
23:01
Speaker 1: people just throw blankets on the ground and hawk their goods.
23:06
Speaker 1: No got a storefront, and to have a storefront, I mean,
23:09
Speaker 1: I think they're Koreans. The Koreans there, they're probably legal.
23:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know those storefronts in China Town where
23:17
Speaker 2: you buy that stuff, you got a whisper and then
23:19
Speaker 2: they whisper it back to you and then they take
23:21
Speaker 2: you down in the basement.
23:22
Speaker 1: The goods are legal. Oh okay, but this was an
23:27
Speaker 1: ice ray. They're supposed to be looking for the illegal immigrants,
23:30
Speaker 1: not the knockoff Gucci bag.
23:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, just make sure that you're legal and
23:36
Speaker 2: you can sell it. Right, the illegal part, that's Gucci's problem.
23:41
Speaker 2: Don't let them worry about it. But right, this White
23:46
Speaker 2: House demolition, it's happened before a million times with other presents.
23:51
Speaker 2: Why did they Why did these Democrats get themselves so
23:54
Speaker 2: outraged they're talking about desecration of the White House from
23:57
Speaker 2: adding a ballroom.
24:00
Speaker 5: No.
24:00
Speaker 1: Also, I like democrats pretending that they care about desecration
24:04
Speaker 1: after years of them ripping down centuries old American history,
24:11
Speaker 1: all of the monuments anyone, anyone in American history who
24:17
Speaker 1: held a slave or did not denounce slavery, which would
24:20
Speaker 1: be you know, everyone on the face of the earth,
24:23
Speaker 1: since slavery existed in every country, every place. And guess what,
24:26
Speaker 1: it still exists today, Mark Simone, principally in sub Sahara, Africa.
24:33
Speaker 1: But no one will point that out. Perhaps we should
24:36
Speaker 1: cut off their funding. But no, this is what I mean.
24:39
Speaker 1: All the Black Lives Matter protests, the ripping down of history,
24:43
Speaker 1: the replacing portraits, and universities, you know the science room,
24:47
Speaker 1: it has all their Nobel Prize winners. Nope, got to
24:50
Speaker 1: take those portraits down because they're all white males. So yeah, don't. Don't.
24:54
Speaker 1: Oh the orson arson and mostly peaceful protests. Do not
24:58
Speaker 1: talk to me about desecrat Yeah.
25:01
Speaker 2: So if you're going to get rid of anything that
25:03
Speaker 2: had a racist past, wouldn't you have to get rid
25:06
Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party? Since?
25:08
Speaker 1: Oh yes, let's start there. That's a fine idea.
25:14
Speaker 2: Hey, tonight is the final mayoral debate, seven o'clock tonight.
25:19
Speaker 2: What do you think can we stop? Mom Donnie?
25:22
Speaker 1: No, no, no. The only shot ever, and even that
25:27
Speaker 1: was a long shot, was Adams that that is a
25:30
Speaker 1: pure generic choice what you have now versus something much worse.
25:34
Speaker 1: There are so many reasons to hate Cuombo. I've never
25:38
Speaker 1: thought he has a chance. Many people hate him for
25:41
Speaker 1: many different ways. I mean, maybe these will be famous
25:44
Speaker 1: last words. I don't think it's going to be a
25:45
Speaker 1: day at the beach if he wins anyway, And I
25:48
Speaker 1: guess all we can hope for is I mean, New
25:52
Speaker 1: York City will get worse. The main thing Mom Donnie
25:54
Speaker 1: can do is make crime even worse out, which seems
26:00
Speaker 1: kind of hard to believe. But a lot of the
26:05
Speaker 1: things he's promising he can't.
26:06
Speaker 7: Do, he will.
26:07
Speaker 1: He will. As I have childre befoors he's definitely gonna
26:09
Speaker 1: help wealthy landlords with non rent stabilized apartments if he
26:14
Speaker 1: freezes rents as he claims he will on the one
26:18
Speaker 1: third of rental apartments that are in New York City
26:22
Speaker 1: that are rent stabilized, that just makes the non rent
26:25
Speaker 1: stabilized apartments more valuable, so those landlords can increase the
26:30
Speaker 1: rent through the roof. There's a limited supply thanks to
26:35
Speaker 1: mom dommy, so he will he will be helping people
26:38
Speaker 1: well like himself. And it is absolutely outrageous, and it
26:42
Speaker 1: was so glib and flippant to say, oh, you know,
26:46
Speaker 1: Cuomo thinks that he can he can solve the affordability
26:50
Speaker 1: crisis by raising my and my wife's rent. No, the
26:55
Speaker 1: point is he's rich living in a rent controlled apartment
27:00
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be to help low and middle income
27:04
Speaker 1: New Yorkers, not rich New Yorkers. But of course rent
27:08
Speaker 1: control is there is no income qualification in New York
27:12
Speaker 1: for rent control department. So a few years ago Reason
27:15
Speaker 1: magazine did an investigation and looked up all these New
27:19
Speaker 1: Yorkers Manhattan nights paying nine hundred dollars a month three
27:23
Speaker 1: bedroom apartments. Meanwhile, they have two million dollar homes in
27:27
Speaker 1: East Hampton.
27:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we had real press, actual real legitimate media,
27:34
Speaker 2: then everything would be different. They might keep pointing out,
27:36
Speaker 2: Democrats have controlled every inch of New York for fifteen years,
27:41
Speaker 2: the legislature, city council, governor, mayor fifteen years of this.
27:45
Speaker 2: If we have such an affordability crisis, wouldn't make sense
27:47
Speaker 2: to get rid of the Democrats since they it's their
27:50
Speaker 2: affordability crisis they've caused.
27:53
Speaker 1: No, of course, you're absolutely right. Every time I fly
27:56
Speaker 1: into any New York airport, I think about this. They
27:58
Speaker 1: are such complete disasters. I mean the scaffolding all over
28:03
Speaker 1: New York. How long it takes to get anything done,
28:05
Speaker 1: anything built. And there is there is a theory why
28:10
Speaker 1: did why did the Access Powers after World War Two?
28:13
Speaker 1: Why did they become you know, economic juggernauts While Britain,
28:17
Speaker 1: the leader of the war until we stepped in against Hitler,
28:22
Speaker 1: became known as the sick man of Europe. Their economy
28:25
Speaker 1: has just steadily declined since World War Two. And the
28:28
Speaker 1: argument is, after a while, in any society, a country,
28:33
Speaker 1: in this case, a city, special interests becomes so entrenched
28:37
Speaker 1: it becomes like scoliosis. You can't change you can't move,
28:41
Speaker 1: and you need to just destroy it and start from
28:45
Speaker 1: start from scratch, which luckily in a way happened to
28:48
Speaker 1: Germany and Japan. And I don't know how New York
28:51
Speaker 1: ever gets out of this. It just seems like an
28:53
Speaker 1: endless downward cycle. I suppose, you know, start voting Republican
28:58
Speaker 1: and you can at least get rid of the entrench
29:00
Speaker 1: interests and massive corruption that runs this city so that
29:04
Speaker 1: nothing can ever get done and the entire infrastructure is
29:07
Speaker 1: falling apart.
29:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another thing to remember. In fifteen days, thirteen days,
29:13
Speaker 2: when the election happens, get rid of Alvin Bragg, put
29:16
Speaker 2: in the Republican DA, vote for every Republican on the
29:20
Speaker 2: city council, change the city council. That could make a difference.
29:23
Speaker 2: But we only got like a minute left. We got
29:25
Speaker 2: through eight years at the Blasio. We could get through Mamdani, can't.
29:28
Speaker 1: We Well, what's great about the city remains great as
29:32
Speaker 1: the people in the private industries. But yes, I agree
29:35
Speaker 1: with you. People have got to get over forget about
29:37
Speaker 1: associating those of you who hate the Republicans. Everything you
29:41
Speaker 1: hate about the Republican Party. This ought to be just
29:43
Speaker 1: an anti corruption. Vote just to shake things up. Vote
29:48
Speaker 1: whether now we're in the next election or the next one,
29:50
Speaker 1: just keep voting Republican in a place like New York
29:53
Speaker 1: to shake things up if you ever want the bad
29:56
Speaker 1: things about it to change.
29:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. Well, everybody follow Ann Call on Twitter. Hey,
30:00
Speaker 2: make sure you follow on substacks. You got a lot
30:02

30:25
Speaker 2: online on YouTube. You'll be able to watch it online.
30:28
Speaker 2: Final Debate tonight, seven o'clock until eight thirty. It's a
30:33
Speaker 2: ninety minute debate. Unfortunately you got Errol Lewis nice, very
30:38
Speaker 2: nice guy, but the most slanted, biased left wing guy
30:43
Speaker 2: in the world as the moderator. That shouldn't be happening,
30:46
Speaker 2: but it will. But it's tonight. That's the final debate,
30:49
Speaker 2: and then early voting starts Saturday. That's right. In three
30:54
Speaker 2: days people begin voting in the mayoral race. Hey, don't
30:57
Speaker 2: forget Buck and Clay, they'll be here next right after
31:00
Speaker 2: the twelve o'clock News with a great show on seven

31:14
Speaker 2: Now, back to Mark Simone on WOOR. Well, let's see
31:20
Speaker 2: New York Post website, big new top story. Curtis Lee
31:25
Speaker 2: what quits radio gig In on air shouting match, Curtis says,
31:31
Speaker 2: you'll never go back to WABC. Well, listen, this is
31:34
Speaker 2: in the heat of the moment. Things calm down. You
31:36
Speaker 2: never know that can be patched up. We'll always find
31:40
Speaker 2: a place for him here. But again, it's just an
31:44
Speaker 2: he's and I understand his anger. Everybody telling him to
31:49
Speaker 2: get out of the race. It's insane. People should be
31:52
Speaker 2: telling Cuomo to get out of the race. No point
31:54
Speaker 2: in talking about it now. The most important thing is
31:56
Speaker 2: tonight's debate. That's the final check after this campaign. Well,
32:02
Speaker 2: there's another week after this, but if it's going to
32:04
Speaker 2: turn around, it would probably have to be tonight. Merril
32:09
Speaker 2: Debates seven o'clock to eight thirty. It's on New York One.
32:13
Speaker 2: Most people can't get that. It'll be on YouTube, it'll
32:15
Speaker 2: be online, look for it anyway. I'll be back tomorrow.

Speaker 2: We'll go over the debate, we'll analyze it, we'll break
32:21
