  Speaker 1: Now this is the Mark Simon Show on sevent ten
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: wor Hey, well, thank got it Friday, Oh my god,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: they get this week over with. We got a lot
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to get to. We'll get to a crazy mom Donnie,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and what's he going to do with the police department.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We've got some intel on that. We'll get to that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: coming up. We'll get to at least Stephonic running for governor.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: There should be the end of Kathy Hoko. We'll get
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to MSNBC. They're in their final week now of being MSNBC,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and a lot more to get to the shutdown. There
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: might be some kind of vote today, not necessarily to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: end the shutdown, but to begin towards the end of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Who knows what these people are going to do.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The shutdown continues today's day. They do that ten cut
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in flights at a lot of airports. Now, it sounds bad,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and it is bad, but it's not as as bad
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: as you think, because we did this before. Remember they
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: were having problems with Newark Airport and the controllers, traffic controllers,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and it was all messed up, and they decided to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: cut the flights ten percent for a while. So we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: went through this already at Newark. They'll do this at
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a number of airports, and what they cut are the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: emptiest flights they can find. They are not a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of empty flights nowadays, but some less populated than others.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They'll cut those and combine them. So if you're traveling,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you'll see some delays. You'll also see some really crowded,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: cramped planes, fewer flights and more people on each plane shutdown.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: The problem is the polling is all over the map.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Some show that the Republicans are getting the blame, some
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: show Democrats are getting the blame. One of the problems
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it's hard to poll because President Trump the idea when
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he did the shutdown was to make it as the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: least painful that he could make it. Don't cut anything
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you don't have to cut. And you know when Obama
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: did the shutdown, he was the opposite. He tried to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: make it as painful as possible. They wanted to make
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the Republicans look bad, so they closed down a lot
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: more than they had to close down. They closed down everything,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and they deliberately tried to make it very painful for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the public. They closed down things that you didn't even
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: need to close. I mean there were World War Two
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: monuments that don't require any staffing of any kind, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they still close those down, that put that yellow barricade
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: tape all over it, just to make it look as
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ugly as they could. The president doing the opposite.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Hey Elis Stefanic has announced she is running for governor.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: This was not unexpected. Here she is.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It is clear we need a new generation leader to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: step up and bring common sense and deliver results the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: issues that I hear from not just in my district,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: but all across the state. People are struggling with high
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: taxes in New York State. It's an affordability crisis. If
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you look at utility rates, insurance rates, it is running
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: families and small businesses out of this state.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, see, now it's an interesting situation. You just had
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a guy win the mayoralty, a Democrat, and he ran
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on affordability and that sort of stuff, which is odd
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: because it's the Democrats that caused it. The Democrats have
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: run every inch in New York for the last fifteen years.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Democrats at mayors, governors, legislature, city council. The whole thing's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: been run by Democrats. So if it's an affordability crisis
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and this crisis, and in that crisis, it's all the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Democrats fault. It would make sense to switch parties if
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that party just gave you all these problems, switch parties
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: so it'll be easier for Stephonic to campaign on that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Hochel can try campaigning on affordability. But she's been in
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: charge for eight years, and before that, Cuomo for years,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and it's her legislature, all Democrats, So it's going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be tough, very to Here's the Stephanic's first campaign commercial.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: From the ashes of Kathy Hockel's failed policies, New York
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Real Rise like we always do. The spirit of the
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: empire state cannot be broken. All we need is a
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: courageous leader ready for the fight. A least Dephonic will
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: make New York affordable and safe.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Now, Stephanic an upstate congresswoman, and you remember in those
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: hearings where Hokel had to testify in the congressional hearings,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it was Stephonic that really went after her on crime,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: on everything else. I want to make sure you understand
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that this simply says that we will cooperate with Ice.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: No, it does not say that I read what it says,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and let me talk to you about the results. Do
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you know who secure a kan is? You should, as
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the governor of New York State?
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Do you know refresh my recollection?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: He was an illegal migrant in New York and do
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you know what crime he committed in addition to being
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: here legally?
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: No, I do not, you do not.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: This was widely reported. He found a fifteen year old girl,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: threatened her with a metal pull, told her to get
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: into the back seat of his car, He took her
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: clothes off, and he violently raped her in Albany, New York.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, Hokel had a really rough time testifying in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: front of Stefanic. I'm sure this will be used in commercials.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: These are horrific crimes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: In their heart, they're horrific crimes that are committed on
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: your watch. You sign this executive order on your first
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: day in office. You sign it again and again this January.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: We deserve a governor who stands up for law abiding
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers, doesn't put illegals first, but actually puts New
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Yorkers first. I appreciate Rather than going after the viral moment,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I suggest you no, no, no, I'm standing up for
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers zone. Rather than addressing the illegals in New York,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: you are prioritizing your far left sanctuary state policies, which
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you put in place with executive orders.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So based on this kind of stuff, it would be
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: pretty easy I think for Stefanic to beat Hochel in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: any debate now is the only complication for Stephanic. Bruce Blakeman,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing, wants to run for governor. Bruce Blakeman is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the best county executive in America, done a phenomenal job
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in Nassau County, just got re elected. Governor's race would
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: be next year would be you know, Nassau County will
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: not be happy to lose Blakeman, but it's worth it
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: if he can be the governor because then he can
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fix the whole state. So at least Stephonic would have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to go through a primary battling Bruce Blakeman. That won't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: be easy. I mean, you know, I'd have to go
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: with Blakeman on that. You know, like Stephonic, but Blakeman's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the best and in aal not national, but a big
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: statewide race for a governor. New York City is half
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the votes in a governor's race, New York City is
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: half the votes. Now, if you study the history of this,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you got to win at least thirty five percent of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: New York City as the Republican. To get elected governor,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you got to win thirty five percent of New York City.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It's not easy to do as a Republican. But in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the primary, that's a little different. So it'd be Blakeman
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: against Stephonic in the primary, and who knows, who knows
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: who else the other people will jump in there. You
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: never know, maybe Andrew Giuliani will try it again. Maybe
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: who knows, Maybe Lee Zelden Board in Washington may come
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: try it again. But Blakeman, Stephanic. It's a great situation
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to have a couple of great candidates. So we'll see
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: who gets through that primary. Mom, Donnie, Now, the big,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: big nightmare is the police department. That's the problem. He's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: already named five people on his transition team. They're all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: ex to Blasio, people to Blasio administration, one's from the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Adams administration. But the most important thing is keep people safe.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: If you got safe streets, you got everything. So will
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Jessica stay as police commissioners she hadn't said anything yet.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Now this could get interesting. We'd want her to stay.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: She's done a good job. She might not stay just
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: simply because she doesn't want to work with Mom Donnie,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: or she doesn't like some of his policies. And if she,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, she'll want to run against him in four years,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: so she may not want to stay if she leaves.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Who's the police commissioner. This is the big fear with
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. Everybody thinks he's going to put Al Sharpton
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in charge of the police department or something like that,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: some crazy left wing sort of a character. This is
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the big, big worry. But this is not bad news.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Apparently this is from the inside of the Mam Donnie world.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: If he has to pick up police commissioner right now,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: highest on his list is the Suffolk County Police Commissioner,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison. He's not a bad guy. Rodney Harrison, Suffolk
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: County Police Commissioner. He's been there for a couple of years.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He ran the he actually ran the department and left
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: at the end of Steve Balloone's term as county executive.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But he's the guy that he formed the task force
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that finally got the Gilgo Beach serial killer. He was
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: with the NYPD. He retired in twenty twenty one as
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: chief of department. That's the highest uniform position, so everybody
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: thinks he's a good guy police Former police Commissioner of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Suffolk Rodney Kay Harrison looks like that right now would
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: be Mom Donnie's choice. And if Jessica Tish will stay,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it looks like they'll make Harrison the deputy mayor in
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: charge of public safety, so he'd be overseeing her and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what their relationship is or she'd want
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to work under him, But we'll see, Tish. I think
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: we'll wait and see who's appointed, who's going to be
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: what before she decides anything. Now, for the last thirty years,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: new mayors have always ended up bringing in their own
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: police commissioner. It's just tradition, you know. When Rudy Giuliani
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: took over, Ray Kelly was the police commissioner out. He's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the greatest police commissioner ever ever. And I remember talking
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to Rudy Juliana at the time. He knew that. He
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: just said, I can't keep you know, a previous guy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I have to have my own commissioner. Some just think
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: they got to have her own person in there. So
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it's highly unusual to keep a police commissioner. We'll see
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: if this is the one time where it actually actually happens. Now,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you keep hearing everybody's gonna leave. People are all going
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to run away from New York. They always say they
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: said that when Deblasio so offic Some people did, but
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: not as many as you thought. It's not as bad
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: as you think. George Santos has announced he's leaving New York.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He's George Santos leaving New York. He lives in Queen's actually,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: so he said he can't stay here under mom Donnie.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But I don't think that's a great loss that George
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Santos is leaving. Now you could say, well, why does
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: he just move to Nasau County, Bruce blakemhan you can
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: trust him? Well, that's where Santos had all his trouble
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in Nassau County. I don't think he wants to go
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: back there. Hey, congratulations Elon Musk, who was the richest
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: man in the world. That's quite an honor, quite a headline.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: To be the single richest man on earth. That's an
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: incredible unbelievab accomplishment. Well, now another accomplishment. He's now the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: highest paid guy in the history of the world, biggest
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: compensation package ever in the history of the world. Tesla
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the board of directors approved his new pay package, which
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: is the new pay package is one trillion dollars with
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a t one trillion dollars. It's unbelievable. But apparently he
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: threatened to leave the company if he didn't get it,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and the Tesla board was scared as can be. They
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: don't think the company can exist without Musk. Now, to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: get the trillion, he'll have to hit a series of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: performance marks. He's fifty four years old. He uh oh, hey,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he's still the richest guy. He's the richest guy in
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the world. Four hundred and ninety billion. Four hundred and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: ninety billion. I think about that. If you had four billion,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you'd be unbelievably rich. But four hundred and ninety billion.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Let's say there was a hole in your pocket and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you didn't know it, and ninety billion fell out of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: your pocket and you lost it. You're still worth four
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: hundred billion. It wouldn't really matter. I don't even know
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: why you even work. This is like five hundred billion.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: If you put that, if you just invested it, you'd
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: have five billion a year in income. Five billion a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: year in income. You couldn't spend that if you tried.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But guys like this love to work. He'll be awarded
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: all kinds of stock in twelve tranches first round. If
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it hits, there's all kinds of targets you have to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: have to sell. He has to deliver twenty million vehicles,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Tesla hats has to hit two trillion in valuation. He
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: has to deliver one million of the Optimus human eyed robots. Yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that's next. The robots are coming. If they get all
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the hurdles, Tesla stock would explode and be worth eight
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: point five trillion, with Musk getting a quarter. That's so,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that's how they'll end up with a trillion dollars in income.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And let's say it doesn't work out well and they
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: only hit two benchmarks, then he'll earn twenty six billion
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: from that. This is unbelievable. You know, he'll be earning
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: more money than Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in the video combined. Combined, seventy five percent of shareholders
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: voted in favor of the proposal that just terrified of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: losing him. They don't think anybody else could run the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: company like that. Unbelievable. Hey, Dave Portnoy, here's another one.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Portnoy says he's gonna pull Barstool from New York City.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Their headquarters is here. He's threatening, he says, I hate
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the guy. He's threatening to pull out and move Barstool.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Portnoy just bought a thirty million dollar house in Miami,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: so I imagine that's where he'd move it. You know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: people go, you know, on their phone. That's how they
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: are in the You read the newspaper on the computer,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you read your websites, you read your book on a kindle,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you do all that. That's all changing slowly. People don't
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: want to read anymore. It's incredible how lazy people are getting.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And wait till AI takes over, you're going to see
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: laziness like you've never seen. So a lot of people
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to read a book on a kindle. They
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: want talking books. They don't have to hold it, look
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: at it, move their eyes. They don't want to have
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to do that. They want to just have a talking book. Well,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it's affecting everything else newspapers are starting to realize they've
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: got to start talking. It can't just be print. The
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: New York Times has been working very hard on what
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they call the post text era, so they're quickly moving
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to platforms where everybody's talking, all the writers doing audio
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and video. So when you go to the New York Times,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you don't have to tire yourself out reading. You can
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: just listen and watch. So all their big writers columns
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: are turning into talking heads. This is the big thing
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: audio video. At some point, if you've got no time
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: machine and went to five years from now, there might
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: not be any print of any kind anymore. Everything is
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: just talking and video. Hey, oh, you will be with
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: us later this hour, Clay Travis. Clay Travis will be
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: here in a few minutes. We'll talk to Clay Travis.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: He's got a new book out. And then, uh, well,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a lot more to get to and we'll take some calls. Next.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 15:28

• 15:32
  Speaker 1: listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save time and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: tap the preset button.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on WOOR.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to H. David
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. David, how you doing.
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, How are you good? Okay, I just
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: want to if you give me thirty seconds, I make
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: my point. You speaking yesterday that the election turnout was
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: only forty five percent, So I want to explain something
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: my training statistics. I think forty five percent is actually
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: too high. And I'll splaink to you why New York
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: City does not have a system of people removing themselves
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: from the from the voting world, Meaning when someone registers
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: to vote in New York, then they move to Florida
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: from they move wherever. They don't call up.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: People do not know. That's a good point that the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: actual total might be higher, but people aren't.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, you don't have to say give me
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: give me thirty sent you be interesting. If you're really interesting,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you can stay on. You'll be on for ten minutes.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: If it's not so interesting, it might be ten seconds.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Florida.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: Mike, how you doing, good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, just
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: to get off the politics for a couple of seconds.
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: I was cruising YouTube and I came across a bunch
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: of Neil Sidaka videos and I was wondering if you
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: were friends with him, and also, how short is Neil Sedaka?
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: He looked. It was one where he's dancing, he's singing,
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: there's a bunch of dancing girls, and he looks like
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: he comes up to their waist.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Well, no, he's not. He's a good friend of mine.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He's not. He's not tall, but I would say he's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: five nine probably okay, maybe he's five five nine. But
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you know, when they put you in the show with
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the dancing girls, they're always like six feet tall, these dancers.
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: So true.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he does, he's doing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: He's pushed.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: He's in his eighties.
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: I know that.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see how he's doing because if you're
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: follow him on Facebook or online, probably on YouTube too.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Every couple of days in his own apartment over there
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: on the Upper East Side, he makes these videos. Him
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: at the piano and he sings some of his songs.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: He might want to get a little better dressed for them.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It's usually him and his pajamas.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: He's an underrated genius.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I say, Oh, he's a brilliant guy. And he's one
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of the few artists in the world. Like some of
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: those videos, you'll see him do laughter in the rain
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: just at the piano. He's one of the few guys
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: in real life can When he does it, it sounds
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: exactly like the like the recording, exactly like the record.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: That's impressive.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: You know how many times you go to a concert
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and they're doing their hit and it doesn't sound anything
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: like the single that you've heard for years. But now
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that that sounds perfect. Thanks for calling, Mike. Let's go
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to Aaron in Indianapolis. Aaron, how you doing good?
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: Boarding?
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Mark?
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: I want to talk about the new.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Incoming New York mayor.
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: Yes, I think I think we should extend the peace
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: offering and send him some gift boxes of ham sandwiches.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but I think we
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: should send him to Indianapolis. Let him run your town
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: for a little while. It didn't like that. I had
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of silence there. Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: how you doing okay?
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: Mark?
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: It's I'm wondering why right ways like Stiftanic use the
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: word affordability. Those are the leftwards, but we should be
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: using your slogan common sense.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Well, we use that a lot. Now President Trump uses
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that a lot.
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: I know, but it should be the rallying cry. Everybody
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: says that they that these people are saying, you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: afford a bill, and they're going to wait across the
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: country with that slogan. We should respond by saying. Commons says, well,
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: we do, we do, we do.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: President Trump, as I say, he says it a lot.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You can't decide what the big slogan is. You can
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just keep saying it. Then you see what catches on.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: For some reason, the affordability caught on with the public.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: They like the word, you know, it's like branding. Sometimes
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it catches on, sometimes it doesn't. But affordability it's a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: big issue right now. But you got a lot of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the President's policies and a lot of the things in
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the pipeline going through the economy that will bring prices down.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So in six months prices might be a lot lower,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and then it won't be a very good word for
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a campaigning anymore. Let's go to Susan and Brooklyn. Susan,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: how you doing, Hi?
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: Great? Mark, love your show. I just have to make
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: a comment. I received my two hundred dollars inflation refund
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: check from local. And the thing is they tell you
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: on this to keep the stub on the top to
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: file with your twent five taxes. And it even says
• 20:02
  Speaker 13: it on the check. This is insane. I'm being taxed
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: on money that I was already taxed on.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. Does that mean you have to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: pay taxes on it just because you have to keep
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the stub?
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: Well, it says this refund is issued on your income
• 20:15
  Speaker 13: tax return for the years shown below tax year twenty
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: twenty five.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You got ask an account? That might
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: mean you don't have to pay tax on how come
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't?
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: I didn't get it?
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: Check?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: How come I didn't get one?
• 20:28
  Speaker 13: I don't know. Maybe you make too much money? What
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: can I say? Mark, have a good day.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for calling. Hey, We'll take a break
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: for the news, get caught up on everything, and when
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: we come back, we'll talk to Clay Travis. Last night
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: was the Patriot Awards in Long Island, Fox News, Fox Nation.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: They do this great Patriot Awards. First, lady was there,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Erica Kirka. Clay Travis was there. He's also got a
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: new book out. We'll talk to him about that. But
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: first let's get all the latest news. Let's get caught
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: up on everything on seven to ten Insight from the inside.
• 21:04

• 21:21
  Speaker 1: over television of course, OutKick all that stuff. And he's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: a best selling author. This is another bestseller that has
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: just come out. His new book is called Balls. It's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: actually a fascinating book. And Clay Travis, thanks for actually
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: coming into the studio.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: Well, thank you for having me. Most importantly, thanks for
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: being a tremendous lead in for the show for all
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: these years. And you are dominating in New York City
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: as you long have, and we appreciate you passing the
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: baton to us at noon, and we get to talk
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: to a lot of people all over the country and
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: certainly a lot of people in New York who are grappling,
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: as we were talking about off air, with what has
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: been a challenging week, I think, to say the least.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a long week. I don't know, we'll
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: get through this, and let's talk about the book first.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting subject because it's called Balls, but it's
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: about sports, and you know, I never thought about it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I read this book the Democrats going into all these
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: dangerous areas with people, but screwing around with sports. Yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that's bad.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: Well, I think there's a sense among young men that
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: they have been villainized for many things that they've had
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: absolutely nothing to do with at all. And I think,
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: when when I think about my lifetime, I feel I
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: grew up in the era that girls and boys should
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: be treated equally under the law. And Title nine probably
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: is a is a strong component of the era that
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: I grew up in. But it wasn't that there was
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: something wrong with being male or being female. It was
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: that both sexes should be able to espid to be
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: the highest level of success possible, which seemed very very
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: healthy to me. And then in the last I would
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: say decade, certainly we moved into a world where being
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: male there was something wrong with it and something toxic
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: with it. And so many young men who are growing
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: up in this era are looking around and saying, there's
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: a couple of anecdotes in here but one of my
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: favorite is one of my kid's friends came home one
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: day with me and he said, mister Clay, we learned
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: today at school that white men cause all the problems
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: in the world and we're the reason that everything is awful.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: And they told us, you know that we have all
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: this power, And he said, my mom doesn't even let
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: me pick what I eat for dinner, mister Clay, what
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: power do I have? And it's a silly, funny anecdote,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: but I think it kind of gets at the representative
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: issue here, which is we have created a world where
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: young men feel like they're blamed for everything, given credit
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: for nothing, and in this twenty twenty four election, they
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: pushed back against that in a pretty aggressive way.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So do you think Democrats targeted sports thinking it's too
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: macho or was it just a yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know how targeted it was or how much
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: it was just a natural outgrowth of their attempt to
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: take overall culture. But this book goes into to me
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: when it really began in earnest and you may remember
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: this story, some of your listeners will, but it kind
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: of feels like a long time ago now because so
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: many stories have happened since. But Michael Sam was a
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: star defensive end for the Missouri football team in the
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: SEC SEC player of the Year defensively, I think, but
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: like a lot of guys going to the pros, they
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: saw him as not an ideal fit. He wasn't big
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: enough to play defensive end, he wasn't fast enough to
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: play linebacker. There are all these issues, and so he
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: ended up getting drafted late. And when he got drafted,
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: he made out with his boyfriend on ESPN. You know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: they were sitting there with a camera right in his face.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: And then the entire Michael Sam's story was obsessively covered
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: by ESPN. And that was the first time I remember
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: someone becoming a star of coverage without being a star.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: On the field.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: The only reason people were following that story was because
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: he was gay. And when I go back and look
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: at it now, then you had Caitlin Jenner's situation, certainly
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Colin Kaepernick taking a knee. They tried to turn sports
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: into politics by any other name. And you know, I
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: came one of my prior books as Republicans by Sneakers Too,
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: which is from the Jordan era, when hey, I want
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: my excellence in athletics to speak to anybody, Why would
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: I want a way into politics and alien eight half
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: the country, which I actually think is the way that
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: a super smart sports league or a super smart athlete
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: would be. And by the way, this all culminated to
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: me with Leah Thomas winning a women's swimming title as
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: a man. And also for those people who remember it
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: in the twenty twenty bubble when the NBA players actually
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: took their own names off the back of their jerseys
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: and replace them with political slogo, which is it's all crazy,
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: but that is chronicled here as what we saw in
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty four was I think a backlash to that era.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Well, get the book. It's fascinating. It's Klay Travis's new
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: book called Balls, and it really explores all of this.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: But why did guys like Roger Goodell, Why did they
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: cave to this? Why didn't they stand up for their sports?
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Because they did what was best for them personally that
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: was worse for the league's I think it's such a
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: good question. If you're an old white guy and you're
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: making forty million dollars a year, as Roger Goodell is,
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: and your league is made up a majority black athlete.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: Do you want to be the guy that steps in
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: front of the media train to be seen immediately by
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: all of the sports media as the old, racist, white
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: guy who is trying to run the league. I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: he recognized, and certainly the owners did that this was
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: bad for the overall brand of the league and bad
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: for the outreach of audience. But they did what was
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: in their best interest to preserve their jobs as opposed
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: to what was in the league's best interest.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Now, there are some psychologists to say that's the reason
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the Democrats go so crazy about Donald Trump, that's the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: reason for this Trump arrangements in him, that he's such
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: an old fashioned, macho, kind of fifties kind of guy,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and you think that's part of.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: The well, look, I think the reason why the left
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: hates football in general is because it represents alpha masculinity.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: I mean, there is no woman who's ever going to
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: make a football team, And in order to play football
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: at a high level, you have to be a physical
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: beast who puts your body on the line every single play.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: And you know, there's a reason that football, and obviously
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: it's much less serious, has been analogized so often to
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: warfare because it's just physical carnage on the field, our
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: most aggressive. There's a great quote at West Point one
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: of their football coaches, and I'm not going to remember
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: it perfectly, but on you know, basically, the idea was
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: at West Point, we train men through football to be
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: able to eventually win on battlefields because it's about following orders,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: it's about being in the right position, and so there's
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: always been a militaristic components of football that I think
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: also makes left wingers a little bit uncomfortable.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Wells all about Clay Travis Gain his latest book. It's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: already a bestseller, but go get the book. It's called Balls.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: You'll love this book. Hey Clay Travis, you founded OutKick Now? Yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you way back in the beginning all the big sports
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: sports Illustrated, ABC, ESPN. How come they didn't see you coming?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: How did you get ahead of them?
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: It is I think we have the most culturally influential
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: sports site now at OutKick, and Fox now owns it,
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: and we have a lot of impact. I think that's
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: part of what I write about in the book is
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: I think there's an advantage to being sort of a
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: speed ship a speedboat when everybody else is an aircraft
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: carrier because it allows you to adjust on the fly
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: quickly and see oncoming issues without having to run everything
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: through a bureaucracy in order to make it happen. And
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: so I think also the thing that is remarkable to
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: me is not that OutKick worked and continues to work
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: so well for Fox. It's that no one's ever competed
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: with us.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: I sometimes look around and I say, boys, it's like
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: I invented beer, and nobody else will come out with
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: their own version of a beer. So that's maybe the
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: most remarkable thing about it. And if people aren't familiar
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: with the story of OutKick in sports, I think there's
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: a business and entrepreneurial story that is built into into
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: this book as well.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, we'll get the book. It's a brand new book
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: from Clay Travis called Balls. You will love the book.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Listen to Clay Travis and Buck Session today noon to three,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and of course you'll see them all over television. But
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the book is called Balls. Go get it. Clay Travis,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: thanks for starting.

• 30:41
  Speaker 7: talking with you guys for years and years to come.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll do it again soon. Thank your Simon
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: show on woor oh, I don't know, it's been quite
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a week. You got the MoMA putting together a transition team.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Another big fear besides what he'll do with the police department,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: is the anti Semitism of Mom Donnie, the anti Semitism
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: that surrounds him. You know, he's been going on Morning
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Joe there that crazy Morning Joe Swamp Joe at MSNBC,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and also a regular guest on the show is the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: director of the ADL, you know, the Defense League. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: apparently Joe Scarborough has decided to arrange a meeting between them.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one of the biggest institutions that represents
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Jewish New Yorkers. He said, it's important that they sit
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: down with Mom Donnie and engage with each other because
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the Defense League has pointed out, you know, Mam Donniel
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: bragged that he went to a synagogue, but they'll point
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: out the only team he goes to a synagogue's an
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: anti Zionist synagogue. So this will be an interesting Now.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: The only problem is it's Morning Joe. It's MSNBC, so
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Scarborough says, So we may may add Al Sharpton to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the meeting, but we'll see, you know, and it's one
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: thing to just go meet with these people. It's just
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a gesture and you need much more than gestures. Here. Hey,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: we'll get We had a lot to get to. In
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the next hour. We'll get back to Mom, Donnie and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: we'll get to we'll get to MSNBC. It's their final
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: week coming up. There'll be no more MSNBC. It's not
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: going to switch to something called ms now. But rebranding
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: is very, very dangerous. We'll talk about that in the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: next hour. Now, I'm here every day ten to noon,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: or you could listen to the podcast that way, you
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: can listen to any time you want, day or night.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're a podcast listener, there's
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a bonus segment that's not on the air that you'll
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: get every weekend back after the news seven to ten
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: WR here's more marks alone on sevent ten. Woor Well,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it's been quite a week. It's it's over. It's over.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: We need a weekend to recover. It's getting cold out
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the Rockefeller Center tree they cut it down. It's on
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: its way. It'll be here there too. That's how you know.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I guess summer's over. Rockefeller Center tree is on its way.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I was in the Central Park. The skating rink is open.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I guess. I guess summer is finally over. Hey, By
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the way, if you want to look at leaves, changing colors,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the leaves, apparently, this is the peak weekend around here,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: around the New York City area, in Long Island, Connecticut,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, this is the peak weekend. So do it
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Nancy Pelosi has announced she will not seek reelection.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: That's great news. President Trump was asked about it. I
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: think she's an able woman. I'm glad she's retiring.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I think she did the country a great service by retiring.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I think she was a tremendous liability.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: For the country. Now you're saying, well, way would he
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: say that? He shouldn't talk like that? Why does he
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: talk like well? Because a couple of days before, did
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you hear what she said about him? She's on a
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: being interviewed by somebody on some show. To listen to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the hyperbole, listen to how crazy they get.
• 34:16
  Speaker 13: He's just a vital creature.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: The worst thing on the face of the earth. But anyway,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you think he's the worst thing on the face of
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the earth.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: I do, Yeah, I do.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They just get so crazy about him. They get
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: so crazy, we're gonna there's a couple of prominent psychologists
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: who actually said, what sets them off so much? Why
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: is he? You know, they hated Bush and they they
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: hated Reagan and they went after him, but this is
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: beyond anything. Some psychologists think it's because you know, they're
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: trying to be so woke and you know DEI and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: he's just like this old fashion macho guy, old fashioned
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifty these sort of macho kind of it's that
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: that sets them off. And then there's some psychologists that
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: say it's like daddy issues, Like they've got massive daddy
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: issues with this guy, but he just sets them up.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen to her, this is nice. If I
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: played the clip and I didn't say who she's talking about,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: who would you guess you probably think she's talking about
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Iatola Komanie or Putin or bin Laden. But if you
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: didn't know who she was talking about, the worst thing
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: on the face of the earth. But you think he's
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the worst thing on the face of the earth.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty funny. Now. The only sad thing about
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: her leaving it was great to watch her trade stocks.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: She was the greatest insider trading in the history of
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the world. Nobody you know, you're allowed to do insider
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: trading in Congress. So a lot of people made a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: couple of millions. She made, like, got close to a
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: billion dollars. Now, listen to this over the last ten years.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Because of her insider trading. Over the last ten years,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi outperformed Warren Buffett Buffett's stock portfolio. Buffett grew
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: his portfolio by one hundred and eighty five percent. Pelosi
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: grew hers by seven hundred and twenty percent, almost four
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: times the gains. You got to give her credit for
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: at least for that. The greatest insider trading in the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: history of the world. In her case, it was legal.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So a last Stephonica is going to run for governor.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: She's why would she announce it now? It's a year
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: one year away. Do you really need a whole year? Well, okay,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: it helps, you know. Some say that was the big,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: big problem with Cuomo. He was just so dead all
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: through the primaries. He didn't wake up until the last
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: two weeks. One reason you start early. It gives you
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: an excuse to go around and campaign, not in the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: big places, but in the little places. That's why the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: candidates go to Iowa year ahead. You go to these little,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: tiny places where nobody's really going to watch. You know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna get a lot of coverage, which is good,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: but you do speech as you meet with voters, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: that way you hone the message. You're really you know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: six months of that and then you're ready for the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: real campaign. You have developed a message, a stump speech,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: You've really got yourself up to speed. So that's why
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you do it a year ahead of time. Now, Hokeel
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: is going to have a huge problem. Normally, these Democrats
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: will campaign on affordability and whatever crisis. Well, now you've
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: got a Republican who can just look at you and
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: say you're the one in charge for the last eight years.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: It's your fault. You created it. So I don't know
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: what she's going to do about that. The other big
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: problem she has is a Mom Donnie problem. You can
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: assume a year from now, Mom Donnie will have been
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible mayor, and she endorsed them. She is
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: going to have to deal with that picture of her
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and him they pose together holding their hands up together,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: clasped hands. So she's going to have to answer for that,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and that's not going to be easy. It's going to
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: be a big problem for her. Hey, MSNBC a week
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: from today will no longer exist. Friday, the fifteenth final
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: day of MSNBC. It's gone. They'll rebrand it as they'll
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: call it MS now. They gave people a tour of
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: their new studio. They've been kicked out of Rockefeller Center.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Their new studios kind of small, it's a little cramped.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: They'll be operating out of there. But you know, there's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of branding experts that say they may not
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: realize how dangerous this is. You know, it's gonna be
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the same show, same anchors, won't look as good because
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: it'll be smaller studios. They will no longer have NBC
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: News resources or correspondence or all of that. But anytime
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: you rebrand, you know you could just change you know, well,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: if you said yeah, but they just changing the name
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: or they're just changing the logo, it can affect things.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Look what happened to Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel just changed
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the logo and they redecorated the stores. Rebranding is very, very,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: very dangerous, so it'll be interesting to see what happens now.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: MSNBC apparently is worried about the dangers of rebranding, so
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: they put together a few million dollars to do an
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: ad campaign to promote the new brand. You'll start seeing
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: that everywhere. And this is a company that was spun
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: off from NBC in comcasts, so a few millions a
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: lot of money to them, but it's going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: quite a struggle. Hey, Hey, speaking of television, sometime today,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go over to the Paley Center. You know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: that's like the Museum of Television and Radio. They call
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: it the Paley Center. But this is the final weekend
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: it's there, and I want to The museum is going
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: to be there forever, but what's there for the final
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: weekend is Johnny Carson's actual desk and parts of the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Tonight Show set. I want to go over there and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: see it before it goes away. It'll be there through Sunday.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: At the Paley Center. You can actually see the actual
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Johnny Carson, which is that's pretty cool. And then Paley
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Fest actually begins. Now they got a whole bunch of
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: big events. The check the schedule. You can get tickets.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Where there's Trisha Yearwood, is there Ted Danson, who's got
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: this hot news series on Netflix. Just go to a
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: pale museum dot org. It's all for a very good cause. Hey,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: there is some good news this week. Looks like John
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Brennan that the dirty, dirty CIA director will be indicted.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Apparently they are preparing indictments against him. They will go
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: after him. Hopefully they'll get him. But even if they don't,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: just put him on trial. This is the dirtiest CIA
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: director we've ever had. Also a communist, by the way,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I mean literally he admits to having voted in presidential
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: elections for the communist candidate. Now that's the kind of guy.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: This is CIA director. You know, Comy was at one
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: time a communist. He's talked about earlier in his life
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: being an actual communist. He tries to pose some sort
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: of Apublican he's always always been very left wing Democrat,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: but he admits earlier in his life he was an
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: actual communist. Do you remember the McCarthy stuff. McCarthy hearings.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: If you even happen to walk into a Communist party
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: meeting or a Communist club meeting, you were banned from
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: society for the rest of your life. These guys were
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: actual communists, declared communists. Komy Brennan. Also remember it was
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Brennan who signed that ridiculous letter from the fifty one
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: former intelligence officials who said the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely insane stuff. You hear all this talk. Everybody's moving,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: everybody's leaving. Everybody's fleeing New York because of Mom Donnie.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, well, there'll be some people to leave,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: but everybody's going to leave that fast. We went through
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: this with the Blasio same thing. Everybody's leaving. Some people did,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: but not a lot. But they're panicking in Florida. And
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: all the homes that are available in Florida. You know,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: they figure everybody will move to Florida. Now all these
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: rich people moved to Florida, so the homes that would
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: be that were available are all getting snapped up like crazy,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: not by New Yorkers but by local Floridians who, apparently,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: in the last weeks since Momdani have flooded the market
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: because they're afraid all these New Yorkers will come down
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and buy everything, and when they start buying like crazy,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: it'll drive the pricest way up in Florida. So local
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Floridians started buying stuff. There were homes that were on
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: sitting on the market for months with no activity that
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden had dozens of offers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: And these homes are getting snapped up at the fastest
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: rate they've ever seen. Condos that sat through the whole
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: summer with no bidders now have multiple offers. It's going
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: on all over the East Coast, Miami, Boca Palm Beach.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: In fact, they're starting to see it in Orlando and
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: other places. Floridians happen up these homes because they know
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: it's going to drive prices up like crazy. Hey, you know,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: podcasting is a big thing.
• 43:07
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: There's two kinds of podcasts. There's the real ones, the
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: professional ones. iHeart is the biggest podcast in the world.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Serious is a big podcaster Spotify obviously, but nobody's bigger
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: than iHeart. And we've got all the top top names
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: in the world podcasting. Now, the other part of podcasting
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: is every amateur now has a podcast because anybody can
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: do it. Now, if you talk about a professional podcast,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: we have millions and millions and millions of listeners. If
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you're Joe Rogan, you got forty million listeners or whatever
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: he's got. The one with President Trump, the campaign podcast,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I think that hit one hundred million listens at one point.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Even my podcast will hit ten million this year. Ten
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: million listens. We did nine point four million last year.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: But it's a big deal these podcasts. Now. Netflix wants
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: to get into the podcasting business. They want to seriously
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: get into the podcasting business. Netflix of course the number
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: one best known streaming place, but they think that's not enough,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: that you better expand all of that. So they want
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: to get into podcasting. They're making a deal. Well, they're
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: in talks with Serious XM YouTube. By the way, it's
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: a huge podcaster. So Netflix is talking to SERIOUSXM to
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: combine and have all of their podcasts. Now. They want
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: to do it audio and video. SERIOUSXM has some big
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: podcast Caller Daddy Morbid, Dateline NBC. But they're trying to
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: strike some kind of deal. Earlier they made a deal
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: with Spotify. They got to Bill Simmons podcast, Zach Lowe
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy Theories, and some others. Now, the biggest podcaster of
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: all is iHeart. There's nobody bigger than iHeart. Hollywood reporter
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: says Netflix has also approached iHeart Media about a similar arrangement.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: iHeart has some of the most important podcasts in the world,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: like the Breakfast Club done over there, right across the hall,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: and stuff you should know. Now, there's some trade magazines
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: this morning writing that it sounds impressive, but that they
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: think Netflix is way too late, way too late to
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: get into this, that they've missed the boat on it.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: They'll never catch up. You know, when they started with
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the streaming stuff, they were ahead of everybody else. That's
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: how they got so big. And you remember at the time,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: you kids today, you won't know what I'm talking about.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Before Netflix, if you wanted to see a movie at home,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a store like a Blockbuster
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: video store, and you had to rent the movie for
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a day or two. One time it was on a cassette,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: a VHS cassett, and you'd have to rewind it. If
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: you didn't rewind it before you brought it back, you
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: get fined, and then later it was a DVD. This
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: sounds crazy. Can you imagine a twenty three year old listening.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: What what do you mean you went to a street. Yeah,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a blockbuster, rent the thing,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: bring it back. You had to go back the next day.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: And state of the art was they put it like
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: a slot in the door, so he didn't have to
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: go during the day. You could go late at night
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: and drop it through the slot. But then Netflix started.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Netflix actually started, I think it was DVDs. It was DVDs,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: and then they started streaming. Eventually they got rid of
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the DVDs and streaming took over. So but again podcasting,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: they're way too late to jump on board. Hey King Charles, boy,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: is he out to get this? Prince Andrew. He stripped
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: him of his title, the Duke of this, the Duke
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: of that, the Earl of the Duke of Earl, whatever
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the hell he was. King Charles keeps taking things away,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: kicked him out of the wherever he was living, such palace,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: taken everything. Final humiliation, he stripped his brother of his
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: other tie. He was left with Royal Highness and Prince
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: so he's no longer any of that stuff.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: This is all because of the Jeffrey Epstein, Gallaine Maxwell stuff.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: This woman wrote a book with all the allegations, but
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: it's never been proven. Nothing's been proven. Just because somebody
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: claimed it hasn't been proven. But on the other hand,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: he's never denied it. He's never actually denied the allegations.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: So the only thing he has left he's a Vice
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Admiral of the Royal Navy. That title given him in
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. He did spend twenty two years in the
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Royal Navy and he actually saw active service. Was a
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: helicopter pilot during the Falklands War. Ooh, a helicopter pilot.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: This is like Mikey Cheryl. Two of them could start
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: a little helicopter company there. But this Prince Andrew, I
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: don't know what he's gonna do. If I were him,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I would just leave. Just hey, come over here, come
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: over here. They'll treat Hill like a big tabloid star.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: But he would face charges if he came out of here,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: so that's why he has to stay in England. Hey,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: Did Mark on Demand by setting a pre sad for
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: his podcast on the iHeart Radio app. Now back to
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: Mark Simon on.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Wor Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Uh,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: let's go to John and Florida.
• 48:26
  Speaker 10: John, how you doing morning?
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: Mark bum Sean go from retail for the airlines.
• 48:32
  Speaker 10: To pick up the controller salaries and then reimbursed them
• 48:35
  Speaker 10: when the government comes back.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Well, those airlines don't make much money to begin with.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: The profit marginal an airline is practically nothing. It's almost
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: impossible to run an airline. As Donald Trump used to
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: point that out. You know, uh, he used to explain
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that he went to business school with all these geniuses.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Some of them became billionaires, and some of them didn't
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: make that much money. And he said the reason was
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: some of them went into the right business. Is they
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: went into oil and made billions. Some of them went
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: into airlines and you can barely make a living there.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: It's not easy on those airlines. I know they they
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: can be really awful to customers, but good news is
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: they're not making much profit those airlines. Let's go to
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Georgia and Long Island, George, how you doing fine?
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: Mare, Just a quick statement, Mendani has some type of
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: cult following where you can get a million votes like
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: he did.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: I think you'll have an impact on the governor's election.
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: Whether it be fin as we just said.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, it's not a cult following. When you win
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: a majority of the votes in New York City, that's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: more than a cult. That's a lot of people, but
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of that. These younger people who you know,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: indoctrinated in all these universities, haven't seen a lot of history.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Don't know that Every so often, every twenty years, somebody
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: comes along with this socialist nonsense and it always fails.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: And anytime the government jumps in and decided they're going
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: to do stuff for the poor, always the rich that
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: benefits the most from it. In the end, he always
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: figured out how to benefit from it. Let's go to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Nick and basking Ridge. Nick, how you doing hi?
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Mark? You mentioned Trump arrangement syndome, and I have a
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: three word explanation of exactly what that is. Ego hates ego, Well,
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: that could be.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: That could be also, But a lot of psychologists ever
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: talked about this. They think it's just that he's everything
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: that they they tried to stamp out in life, like
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: old fashioned macho macho man and just this like alpha male,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: this like old good, old fashioned American moxie. They thought
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: they stamped that all out. They don't want to see
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: that anymore. Let's go to Bill at Bradley Beach. Bill,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: how you.
• 50:51
  Speaker 12: Doing right, Mark?
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: Good morning.
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: Well we've got Jefferies on saying about and across the
• 50:59
  Speaker 12: living and every thing. Yet the Democrats couldn't care about
• 51:02
  Speaker 12: the fifty year high inflation for four years out of
• 51:05
  Speaker 12: the Biden dictatorship, where they actually eliminated the dollar store.
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: When they left, everything was twenty five and more everything
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: in the country.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: What are you saying, Democrats are hypocritical? You can't believe that.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: That's not the Democrats, I know, hypocrites. Why that's unheard? Yeah.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: No.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: The funniest thing is you watch these videos where they
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: all say Trump talked about getting rid of the filibuster,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: and they all have these you can see these online,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: all of them, Bernie Sanders, Obama, all of them saying,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: why that's Unamerican, that's a threat to our democracy. To
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: get rid of the philibuster. Then you'll see it cut
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: together with the video of them from four years ago
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: saying we must get rid of the philibuster. It's anti American,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: it's anti democracy. Let's go to Carl and Sayerville, Carl,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: how you doing, by Mark? How are you good?
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: You know Mark, the incoming marriage. Do you think he's
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: going to like maybe scale down the Independence Day celebration
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: and shorten the Thanksgiving Day pro You know, I didn't.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Talk about that. I didn't think about that. Oh that's
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: a very good point. I didn't think about that. Excellent point.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: You know this guy, you know, he can't raise your taxes.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: He can't give you free busses. That's not in his power.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: But I didn't think about that. He can start getting
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: rid of the Rockefeller Center tree. He could eliminate the
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Columbus Day parade. He could. I don't know. That's because
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: it's tough to do. That would be really tough for
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: him to do. But you're right, we got to keep
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: an eye on that. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Anthony from the Bronx. Mark,
• 52:41
  Speaker 10: Maybe Mondomio stall outdoor loudspeakers around city Hall and instead
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: of a minaret. We'll have to call the prayer every day.
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: The Muslim called the prayer Uh Mark, speaking about the
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: Communists and everything about how dur mccartty day to day
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: come after you. Right after they caught and executed to
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: kidnapper Sacco and Vanzetti of Uh Lucky Limberg's child in
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: my grandfather's building at the time, and my mother was
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: alive and living there. She told me on the top
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: floor there was an Italian Communist living there with his
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: wife and his kid, and one day the FBI came
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: to arrest him, came to get him uh for Communist activity,
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: and the punk that he was, he locked himself in
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: the apartment and the punk killed his wife, killed his kid,
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: and then killed himself because he couldn't face the music.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Mark.
• 53:43
  Speaker 10: I wanted to ask you man, and you're.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Out there story, yeah, Mark.
• 53:50
  Speaker 10: I don't think Jessica Tish is going to take uh
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: Mandami to Commun's offer to be police ammission and his
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: ruma has it that she wants to run for mayor
• 54:04
  Speaker 10: or the next time around, and she would she would easily,
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: She'd have the money she could self fund. And I
• 54:12
  Speaker 10: don't think she wants to be her name in any
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: way in her family's name associated with Zora Mandanmi. She
• 54:19
  Speaker 10: doesn't need that because she'll fill out. She'll finish out
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: her term with Adams. She's doing a great job and
• 54:28
  Speaker 10: why would she want.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Bad No, she probably won't risk it for Vincent. Great call,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. We were hearing if she leaves mom,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Donnie's looking at Rodney Harrison, Suffolk County Police Commissioner. That's
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: the guy he's looking at, former NYPD Chief of Department.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: So that's not the world's worst choice. But hey, when
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: we come back, Roger Friedman will be with us, Great
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: entertainment reporter. We'll talk to him next on seven to ten.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: W O. R.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: Marks On.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Roger Friedman, the great entertainment reporter. His website is
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: showbiz for one one dot com. We're trying to get
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: all right, he'll turn up. But as for showbiz four
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: one one dot com. There's new stories there all the time.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: We are looking for him. Uh and he'll turn that
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: him there, Yeah, I see him there, We got him.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: He'll turn up. It's Showbiz four one one dot com,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: great entertainment site. News stories every day there. Roger Friedman,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: how you doing Roger Friedman. Are you there? I am, Oh,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: there you are.
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: I've just endured the Grammy nominations.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so tell us about the Grammy nominations.
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: Well, uh, it's the all the pop people who you
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: know on the radio if you're fourteen, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber,
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: they're the main names. Lady Gaga got seven nominations for
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: her Man Eater album and she's going to win. The
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: others are just superfluous in the traditional pop section, which
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: is more for you and me.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Actually, I believe or not, I listened to ze like
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, I like one Sabrina Carpenter, who I just saw
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: by the way at the garden and loved her Manchild
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: album and song got nominated. And that bunny Billie Eilish
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: got nominated for a song that I thought came out
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: the year before. But all right, but it's Luther Kendrick
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: Lamar for his song Luther with Sizza.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: But those are the ones. But the really the category
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: that you and I would enjoy the most would be
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: traditional pop, and that's Barber streisand Jennifer Hudson, Elton John
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: and Brandy Carlisle. Those are the main names you know
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: who didn't get nominated for that category, which I really
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: would have liked to was Ringo Star. He had this
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: great country album called look Up, and they didn't do
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: anything for it.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: But I really liked that album.
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: I really liked it. But you know, I would say
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: that Chapel Roane, she's nominated. But it's really the Grammys
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: are very narrow at this point because they're really just
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: looking at the top chart stars. They're they're they're looking
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: for a good TV show, which you can't blame them.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: They want ratings, which are necessary to stay alive, and
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: they're not going into really like diverse or interesting things
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: you know that might surprise you, which they've done in
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: the past. This is a very straightforward list of you know,
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: top forty hits, commercial it's that kind of thing.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Well, but that's what we did that in the nineties,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: the two thousands, they we did that.
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, it's been a little better in the past.
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: But the TV show February first, it'll be a big,
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: big show. And if they get some of these people,
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: if they gets Loffe, she's do you know who she is? Yeah,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: she's a fabulous singer around there. Phil being good shaped.
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: They nominated some Layla Biali really but for Winter Songs,
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: and we're going to have to look her up and
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: see who she is Best New Artist. Those are all good.
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: And this guy Somber. You know who Somber is? Yeah, Okay,
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: he's twenty years old. He's from the Lower East Side.
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: He's about nine feet tall. He's the son of the
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: guy who does all the booking like the Elton Shawn
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: and am Fhar shows and that kind of thing. He's
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: got a big I never knew his name is Andy Boose.
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: I never knew that he was a musician himself. And
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: his son's name is Sean Boose and I guess the
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: middle initial is M, so it's SMB. And he calls
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: himself Somber. He said two massive hits are three massive
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: hits on the charts all year, and a big album
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: into a debut album, and he's going to win Best
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: New Artist. He is the Best New Artist. So he's
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: a real New York story. I think he dropped out
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: of school like seventeen to become a rock star and
• 59:38
  Speaker 5: became one sort of overnight.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: So that's a big New York story.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, where are the Grammy's being held this year.
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: Grammys are in Los Angeles February first, from the what
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: I call the Staples Center, what others called the Crypto
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: Crypto crypt dot com. And they'll be preceded by two events.
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: Music Cares Person of the Year Award on the Friday
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: of that weekend is going to Mariah Carey and she'll
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: show up sometime that evening, probably not on time, but
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: sometime that evening. The next night, Clive Davis throws his
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: annual pre Grammy dinner.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: He'll be.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: Almost ninety four years old by then, Please God knock Wood,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: and it's going to be that'll be an amazing night.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: So the Grammy weekend is going to be terrific. And
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: it's the last Grammys. I believe it's the last Grammys
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: on CBS. CBS blew their chances to have the Grammys
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: for the next ten years, and after this January goes
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: to NBC.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, yea, Roger VI, tell me, what's the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: deal with this Michael Jackson movie? Good bad? What is it?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: So the Michael Jackson movie. I'm looking forward to it.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: But originally the plan was, this is crazy. The plan
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: was to have a lot like three hour where they
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: were going to take you through the nineties and the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: two thousands where he gets arrested and there's like you know, molestation,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: charged and trials and all this other stuff. And finally
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: someone came to their senses and said, nobody wants to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 5: see that in the movie. So they went back. They
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: went back and made a film that ends, you know,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: around the time of nineteen ninety like after bad and
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: thriller and dangerous and when he's at the peak of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: his career before the bad stuff comes, and that movie
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: will be terrific. And it's very similar in that way
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: to the MJ musical playing on Broadway and around the world,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: which is a huge hit, by the way, huge And
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: that also stops at the end of the nineteen eighties
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: when Michael is at his peak powers and you know,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: adored by everyone. The next twenty years are you know,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: a crazy time. They see that in a documentary, that's fine,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: but nobody wants to see Michael going to court and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: I'm just not going to work. Yeah, So I Jermaine
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: Jackson's son Jafar is playing Michael in the movie, and
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: there's a great cast that goes with it, and there's
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: going to be Walter Wall music, and my prediction is
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: it's going to be like Bohemian Rhapsody. People are going
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: to come out dancing and they're not going to think
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: about any bad stuff.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: Despite the fact that Michael had all that scandal that
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: we covered extensively and minutely, he is still one of
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: the top ten recording artists in the world. His estate
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: is worth a billion dollars. The records sell like crazy.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: Thriller has been on the charts for the last month
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: because of Halloween, so there's no question that the movie
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: will be a hit. But that's that's what the movie
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: will be. Now today, I hear they might make a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: second movie. My advice is, do not make that second movie.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: Stop stop, well, well things are good.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, we'll go a minute left. Tell me
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: tell me of Broadway. What's the hottest thing on Broadway?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: The latest newest, hottest thing on Broadway, the.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: Latest, hottest, newest new thing on Broadway.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Hanks?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 5: I know Tom Hanks is off Broadway and he has
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: a show called This World or Tomorrow. The prices started
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 5: out at four hundred dollars a ticket, and nobody bought
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: the tickets that tell a couple of last week that
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: you could buy a ticket on any night in any section,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: because no one was going to spend four hundred dollars.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: Now they've cut the price by fifty seven percent. The
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: really good seats are two fifty nine, and decent seats
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: and very decent seats are one sixty nine. So now
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: everyone can see this play. Who wants to see a
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: regular play. I have friends who went in the first
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: week and said, it's a slight play, but charming and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: the cast, it's wonderful to see them all on stage.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: It's at the Shed in Hudson Yards. It's a small theater,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: so you can see Tom Hanks. You know, you'll be
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: able to see him, really see him, and you know,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: I'm probably not going to go, but I think a
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: lot of people will go. And already several nights are
• 1:04:02
