  Speaker 1: Mr. New York, Mark Simone on WOR. Oh, I'm on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the air. Sorry, out in the hallway. We have advertisers, clients,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you know. The one I love is P.C. Richards, my
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: favorite place. P.C. Richards people outside. It's a great store.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Do you know, we were just talking about this, there
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: is such a thing as a washer-dryer unit. I don't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: mean a dryer on top of the washing machine. I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: mean it's all one thing. There's one unit that will
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: do the wash, and then it'll dry, all in the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: same unit. They're selling these now. It's a great, great thing.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So you throw in the laundry. You set it to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: wash and dry. You can go away for two hours.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You come back, it washes it. And then when it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: done washing it, it dries it all in the same unit.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: PC Richards, perfect place to get it. But this is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: going to be the future. These are going to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: all over the place pretty soon. Hey, that crazy Macklemore,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Ed Sheeran on tour. Why the hell? Ed
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Sheeran's the nicest, most neutral, nice guy in the world.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: What the hell would he have Macklemore, who's nothing but trouble,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: If you're looking for trouble, make Macklemore your opening act.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So they had to drop him from the tour. All
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: hell broke loose. Everybody's mad at everybody. Certain radio stations
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: banning Ed Sheeran, which is ridiculous. But Macklemore has just
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: announced he's going on tour himself. He got so much
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: attention for this. You know, he'd been much bigger years ago.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Then his career kind of died down. But all this attention.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: could bring him back in audience. But he's now announced
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: his tour. It's a free Palestine tour. A free Palestine
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: music tour. Dates have not been set yet. And no
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: announcement on who's going to be with him. But he says,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this guy's a real blank, blank. He says, there's been
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation. It's just a bunch
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of anti-Semites who've risen up. The power of billionaires that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: try to censor us. What we expect from artists right
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: now is to stand up to this. It's 2026. Being
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: apolitical during a genocide doesn't work anymore. Well, you know, listen,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Hamas launched the most disgusting Holocaust in modern times on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: October 7th. We didn't hear a peep out of you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Then a genocide in Africa against Christians. We didn't hear
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a peep out of you. Iran just slaughtered 40,000 citizens
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in the street, just killed them for protesting. We didn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hear anything from you. But when it's something that they
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: can bring their anti-Semitism to, I don't know, I guess
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: there's always been a little anti-Semitism in the world, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this is with the left embracing
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this anti-Semitism. loving this anti-Semitism. And whoever thought you'd ever
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: live to see a time where that kind of bigotry
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: would be something you'd brag about if you were a candidate.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: We've got a mayor of New York who's an open
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: anti-Semite who will out and out engage in hate speech.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And it's going to take down the normal
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party in the process. You know, the problem is
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: when you start that Hate speech, anti-Semitism, when you start
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that kind of bigotry, it spreads. You know, right now
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's anti-Israel, anti-Jews. Next thing you know, it'll be anti-Christians.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It spreads. You got to stop it here. What's going
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to stamp it out? I don't know. I don't know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Common sense, decency at some point will stop it. You
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: got to blame, really blame Democratic leaders like Schumer and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries. Schumer is the leader of the party. Hakeem
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Jeffries is the leader. Hochul's the leader in the state.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You got to blame them. They're the ones that have
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to stop it. It's in their own party. It's taking
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: place in their own world, and they've done nothing to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: stop it. Schumer. Remember all that anti-Semitism at Columbia and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the Jewish students getting harassed, physically harassed? Remember all that?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Schumer went and hid. Nobody heard from him during that period.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Mamdani yelling his anti-Semitism, ginning it up. Never heard from Schumer.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: He's the leader of the Democratic Party. He's the highest
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: ranking Jewish politician. Never heard from him on it. Disgusting,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: disgusting behavior from Chuck Schumer. So unfortunately, I'm looking now,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the press ban at the White House has been totally lifted.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Access to all the press has been restored. Yeah, that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: too bad. It was fun keeping them out and it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: gave them something to talk about. You know, for all
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: these MS Now and CNN types, all they do all
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: day is tell you how much they hate Donald Trump,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: how repulsed they are by Donald Trump, burning hatred for
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. But then they're mad they can't be in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the room with him. Generally, if I hate somebody, I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: don't stay in the same room with them. I don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: want access to them. In fact, I can't get far
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: enough away from them. So President Trump spending the day,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the second day, he's spending the whole day with President
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Xi of China and Xi's wife, Madam Ping. Looks like
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Look at her. Look at her
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: on the screen. Look at these two. We hope they
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: don't die, but if they were to die, it's easy
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on the funeral. I don't think you have to embalm them.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Look at them. They already look like they're embalmed. But
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell they talk to them
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: about all day. President once again wearing an overcoat. Wow. Yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it's definitely not. I was out last night. I saw
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of overcoats everywhere. Summer ended fast. Netanyahu, great
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: speech yesterday, concluded with a real warning for Iran. A
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: real warning for Iran that it's over for them. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: leadership of Iran, the citizens, everybody else will rise up
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and take over. Hey, those people that walked out. I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: playing it every hour. Let me play this clip. As
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: soon as Netanyahu got up to speak, he hadn't said
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a word yet. Just as he stood at the podium,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: half the delegates walked out. I'm looking at the list here.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Who walked out? It was the representatives for Iran, Qatar,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, Palestinian Authority, and others, other countries. They cleared out.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: They literally... He hadn't said a word yet. As soon
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: as he got up, they walked out.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You know, he pointed out all these things that it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was Israel that supplied 2 million tons of food into Gaza.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He ran down the list of the great things Israel
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: has done, but they walked out. Netanyahu responded perfectly. Mr.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: President, before I begin, just a quick announcement. If there
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: please do so now. Thank you very much.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's a great leader and an orator. If
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you have not done so, please do so. See, now
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: if it was Trump, he'd say, for those of you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: who haven't, get the blank out. Right in the UN
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: General Assembly. I know you're not supposed to do that,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but he's half a Howard Stern president. And that's the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: way he does things. Now, speaking of this anti-Semitism, our crazy,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: nutty Mayor Mamdani, Mr. Anti-Semite, and his allies are holding
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a big New York City fundraiser for the Michigan anti-Semite,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Abdul El-Sayed. The bash will take place on the Bowery
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on October 5th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Co-hosts
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: include the jeweler, Alex Bittar, former REM frontman, Michael Stipe,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Democrat Brad Lander. These are all the anti-Semites. They're all
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: coming to this. Congressman Jamal Bowman. Brooklyn Councilman Shi Asi.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Contributors can donate up to $ 57, 000 to the Abdul Michigan
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Victory Fund. It's $ 57, 000. You can donate to the anti-Semitic
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: fund here. Now, I guess there might be some Democrats
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: who are pushing for for this Abdul Syed, just because
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it's a crucial seat for the Democrats to take control
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of the Senate. Michigan is key to that. They've got
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to win Michigan to take control of the Senate. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: there might be some Democrats who are jumping in because
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of that, but I don't care what the reason is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: You can't support anti-Semites. There's no excuse for that. You
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: remember that story about Thomas Jefferson? He slept with the slaves.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, there was one slave, Sally Hemings. Not only
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: did he sleep with her, He fathered a child with her.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: This has been the rumor for years and years and years.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Historians have felt that this is what happened. Well, it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: been absolutely confirmed now. In one of the books, Jefferson
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: had books he would write in journals, diaries. Apparently, in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: one of the books, some of Jefferson's hair was found
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: between the pages. And they had Jefferson's hair, which even
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: though it's hundreds of years old, You can still... DNA test.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So they DNA tested it. And it proves he did
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: have children with the slave Sally Hemings. And it's, of course,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: years later, but we've absolutely confirmed it now. had this,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately, they're all long gone. If she were
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: around today, Sally Hemings would be, she'd be on Rachel
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Maddow Monday night, exclusive interview. She'd be on CNN. The
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: New York Times would be interviewing her. So, hey, McDonald's,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is smart. McDonald's, how big
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: is McDonald's? It's as big as can be. But they're
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: worried about Starbucks. And they're worried about Chipotle. So McDonald's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is adding things to the menu to take on Starbucks
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and Chipotle. First of all, does anybody like the food
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: at Starbucks? You do? No, it's not that good. It's not.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Cheese and fruit doesn't count. They just cut that up.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: They don't make that. They go buy some cheese and they.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: put it and they throw some fruit in that's not
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: i don't mean i'm talking about the things they make
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's not you know what's you know what's funny uh
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: dunkin donuts they dunkin donuts their coffee is better than
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: starbucks but starbucks the donuts are probably better than dunkin
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: donuts doesn't make any sense but uh they're really worried
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: about starbucks for some reason so you know the one
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: thing they have at starbucks is those little egg bites
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in the morning McDonald's has the greatest breakfast on earth,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the Egg McMuffin. But apparently this is one of the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: reasons for this. Ozempic is so big. Those GLP-1 shots
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: are so big. 30 million Americans are on that stuff.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And when you're on those Ozempic things, you can't eat much.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You can only eat a little. So apparently Starbucks is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: doing very well with a little egg bite because it's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: like two bites. So if you're on Ozempic, it's a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: perfect breakfast. Because you can't eat the egg muffin. You
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: can eat two bites and you've got to throw away
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. So McDonald's is going to make an
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: egg bite just like Starbucks. All right. Okay, this one
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I could see. But they also want to take on Chipotle.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And Chipotle's got the best, the burrito bowl is phenomenal. Apparently,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Chipotle's considered very healthy fast food, healthier than McDonald's. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it's becoming bigger than ever, Chipotle. So they're going to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: make their own something, burrito bowl. They haven't said exactly what.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: But when you go to McDonald's, do you think Mexicans, Spanish,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. You may be in
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a tricky area there, McDonald's. They're also going to add
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a classic grilled chicken sandwich. All right, that's taken on Chick-fil-A.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Chick-fil-A is phenomenal. Also, they're going to make wraps for
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: another on-the-go protein-packed item. You know, a lot of places,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: those salad places, Chopped and all the rest, that's their
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: big thing, selling those wraps. And that kind of stuff,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it's considered healthier than McDonald's. So that's one reason McDonald's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: is getting into it, so they'll have healthier items. But
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it's also trying to compete with all the fast food
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: chains that have risen up and become very big. But...
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But in the business world, that's sometimes the most dangerous
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: thing you can do is try to be somebody else.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Smartest thing you can do is just do what you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: do best. And you remember when Steve, you know, Apple
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: was a mess when Steve Jobs came back. Apple wasn't
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: doing well. And he noticed the problem was they sold
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: 85 different products. And the first thing he said when
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he came in there, just do what we do best.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Let's get rid of 81 of these products. We'll just
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: sell four things. We'll just sell a computer, a phone,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the same thing with McDonald's. Just figure out what you
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: do best and just do that better than anybody else.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So let's see. The press is back. The White House
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: ban is over. The press is back. Oh, you're supposed
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to get all excited because today is the 25th of September.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know what this means. They're saying
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it's 925 day. 925 day. So I guess the song
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: 9 to 5. If you're getting excited about this, you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: really need to re-examine your life. This is not that exciting.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: First of all, it's not 925 day. It's 92526 day.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And I don't remember any song called 92526. We'll take
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: some calls next. 800-321- 0710 is the number.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
