  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Wr Hey, it's a Thursday. We got a lot to
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: get to, big, big, big deal in the peace deal
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: in the Mideast. We'll get to that, the Nobel Prize,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the Yankees, We'll get to the stock market.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the New Jersey debate. Last night, people
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: think Mikey Cheryl has seen some real trouble in the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: internal polls. She seemed to change her tone and change
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff for last night's debate. And the
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: same thing for Cuomo. He's getting desperate. There was a
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: major shocking flip flop from Cuomo. We'll get to that
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: coming up. And well, let's start with Israel the Middle East.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: The peace deal looks like it's done. It looks like
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: it'll get signed over the weekend. President Trump planning to
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: go to Egypt to sign this bill.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I may go there sometime towards the end of the week,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: maybe on Sunday actually, and we'll see. But there's a
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: very good chance to Negotiations are going along very well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It looks like it's done. Hamas will release the hostages.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: They'll start with the living hostages, believed to be about twenty.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: They'll release them immediately. They'll release the remaining hostages, the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: bodies of the other hostages. Israel's going to give up
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: something like nineteen hundred prisoners. All right, that's not great,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: but you got to do that. The deal looks pretty good.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: President Trump. Tomorrow's Friday, he goes to get his annual
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: physical Walter Reed Medical Center, and then after that is
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: expected to head to the Middle East Saturday or Sunday.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: It's an amazing accomplishment. It's certainly worthy of a Nobel Prize.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Even in Gaza. Even in Gaza they're cheering him on
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: the streets of Gaza and screaming Nobel Prize for Trump
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: can't get it because the Nobel Prize is a totally
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: corrupt award. It's the most slanted partisan, a left wing
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: liberal award. If you look at the list of who
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: was denied a Nobel Prize, it's amazing, from Gandhi to
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: all sorts of people. But if you go to the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Nobel Prize for literature, some of the greatest figures in
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: literature were denied the Nobel Prize, from Mark Twain to Tolstoy,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to It's an endless list, and it was always because
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: they weren't they weren't liberal enough, they didn't like their politics.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: It's the most political award in the world, and the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: most fascinating thing about it is to this day the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Nobel Prize has this incredible reputation, totally undeserved. It's just
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a wacky partisan award, yet they still have this prestige
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the Nobel Prize. You know, the worst economist in the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: history of the world was Paul Krugman the New York Times,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: that bug eyed weirdo who got everything wrong. Every prediction, forecast,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: everything he ever wrote turned out to be totally wrong.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He has the Nobel Prize for economics. So you remember
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: when they were trying to go after Trump and they
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: put out a letter from this signed by thirteen Nobel
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Prize winners. Well, right there, you knew it was a
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: slanted partisan the word. Yet somehow, you know, a lot
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of people's minds, it has this prestigious reputation. So the
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Nobel Prize comes out tomorrow. There's no chance of Trump
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: getting it because he's not left wing wacko. Also, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: would assume it's coming out tomorrow. This was decided long ago.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: They're not picking the winner tonight. So it comes out tonight.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow will be the announcement. It means absolutely nothing. It's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the silliest towards but the Israel peace Deal unbelievable. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you know when you talk about the art of the deal,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and sometimes Democrats will say, well, where's the great negotiator? Well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: here it was, Here it was, and there's nobody savvier
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: at this stuff, and Benjamin Netanyahu gets somehow Trump got
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: leverage over net and Yahoo and strategically carefully over the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: last few weeks and months, somehow it kind of boxed
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: him in a little, so he went along with this.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just luck in some of these deals. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: even Democrats looking at this privately saying this was all skill,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: not luck, And a lot of credit goes to Jared Kushner,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: normally useless when it comes to the White House, but here,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: this is what he was meant to do. This is
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: where he excelled. Steve Whitkoff the same, and Trump pointing
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: out Mike Huckabee was a big, big part of this process.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Hu could be the ambassador to Israel. You wouldn't think
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: he would be so Israel savvy, but he's spent a
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: lot of time there over the years. It's something that
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: means a lot to him. So he was great at this.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: So that will that will happen most likely over the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: weekend hostages. First release of the release of all the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: living hostages expected on Monday. So you got this fat
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: slob governor of the Illinois Pritzker, This Ralph Cramdon looking guy,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: huffing and puffing. What it's all about? Really, he wants
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: to be a twenty twenty eight candidate. He has no
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: shot at all because he has no personality, nothing, nothing
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: interesting about him. He's kind of a troll like to
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: look at. So he's got no shot at all, especially
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: against a Gavin Newsom or other slick, smart candidates with personality.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: He's got no shot at all. But he's trying to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: get there, and he thinks by being the biggest Trump
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: fighter in the world. He's a little nutty when he
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: gets into Trump fighting. Remember the convention. He got up
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: there and he said he opened with and he got
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: huge applause. He said he's going to talk about Trump.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: He said, time out of here from a real billionaire,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and the audience applauded, implying Trump's not a real billionaire. Well,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: at the time, Pritzker worth about one billion, Trump worth
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: about seven billions. I don't know what the hell he's
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: talking about. And then here he is yesterday. But he
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: just doesn't want He wants to keep that crime in Chicago.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of killing. It's a killing field. Thirty
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: five forty people shot every weekend in Chicago. He wants
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to keep it that way. He's demented, literally unhinged.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And this is somebody who's so insecure that he lashes out,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: pretending that he can come arrest people for no reason
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: He can't.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: He isn't going to do it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Taco Trump always chickens out. It's back to taco. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: think I think that's kind of been proven wrong. Now
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Pritzker keeps arguing, you cannot send troops national Guard or military.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You can't send troops into an American city state. The
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: federal government can never do that. And if they do that,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: it's the worst violation of the cont it's the total
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: end of democracy. You cannot do that. Well, of course
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you can, and it's been done before in riots in
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: all sorts of situations. Nineteen sixty seven, Ryot Johnson said,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: troops into cities done all the time. I'll give you
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the best example was John F. Kennedy. Back then, it
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: was horrible, horrible segregation, and black students couldn't go to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: college in Mississippi and Georgia and Atlanta. You remember of
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: those governors, those awful governors, Lester Maddocks and George Wallace
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and others who would stand in the doorway of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: school blocking it so black kids couldn't attend college. Well,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Kennedy sent troops in lots and lots and lots of
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: troops to integrate those colleges. It was a big deal
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty one, sixty two, massive amounts of troops
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: sent in. Now, of course it was Kennedy. He's a Democrat,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: so there was nothing but applause. And he was a hero.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And these same Democrats told you this is the most heroic,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: wonderful thing any president's ever done. But now, if the
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: president sends in troops, it's the end of our democracy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: It's a crime, it's a but again, the incredible hypocrisy
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: democrats are famous for. So hey, they had that mayoral
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: forum yesterday at the New York Athletic Club, the beautiful,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: prestigious New York Athletic Club, one of the city's finest
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: private clubs. And it was private. But we're starting to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: see some of the video and we're starting to hear
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: from some of the people that weren't there. And it
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: was all business leaders. All these business leaders, a lot
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: of them basically said, when it came to Mom Donnie,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: it was a lot of double talk. It was dancing
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: around the questions, skated through generalities. One person said, went
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: out of his way to slam President Trump over and
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: over again. Other attendees said, listen, he had tremendous energy
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: and youth, but nothing of substance. There was no substance,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and it didn't make us feel like he could do
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the job. Curtis, they liked, They said he In some
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: cases there were surprise he had such detailed knowledges of
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: economic He's been working with great, great economic team Larry
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Kudlow and others advising him. They said, yeah, he was.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of clarity on how he would
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: deal with crime and all that. So they like Curtis.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Now when it comes to Cuomo, now, this crowd was
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of Democrats, and it wasn't so much what
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Cuomo was saying, but a number of people in the
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: crowd said they were quite surprised, quite shocked. They hadn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: seen him speak in person in a long long time.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: They said, there was a little shocked. He looked very old,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: he lacked energy. Here's one said, I hadn't seen him
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: in a while, and I was quite disturbed by it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Another attendee found Cuomo living in the past, seemed to
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: be more focused on things in the past than talking
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: about the future. Other comments, here's this Catherine Wilde, she
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: warns this business partnership. She's a real wacko. She's praising
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: a Zora and Mamdani. I rest my case, total whacka
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Mamdonnie's positions have become more substantive and realistic. No need
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to read the rest of her statement. She's a nutty character. Uh,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo shocked everybody with a major flip flop. Years ago.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: You remember about was it five six years ago? There
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: was this whole thing about closing Rikers Island. Rikers Island
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: is the big prison that's on an island. It's Rikers Island.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: It's the perfect place for a prison. It's on an island.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have a more secure location. And it's a
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: very big island. There's enormous space there. Rikers Island is
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: a number of buildings. You couldn't ask for a better
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: set up for a prison. Lots of buildings, there's room
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to build more buildings, all sorts of stuff. All of
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a sudden, there was a proposal to close down Rikers Island. Well,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: what are you gonna do for a prison? Well, they'll
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: build five other prisons. They'll build one in each borough,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: which didn't seem to make any sense. It would make
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: more sense they have one big central prison. And why
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: would you put a prison into each neighborhood in different boroughs?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Who in Queen's wants the prison in their neighborhood? Why
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: would anybody in the Bronx want a prison in their neighborhood.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Why would it? Was a ridiculous idea. Where did it
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: come from? By the way, Cuomo, this is what he
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: was talking about yesterday. He says, we got to stop
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: this plan to close Rikers Island. It's crazy to close
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Rikers Island. It's wacko. Why would you do it? We
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: must stop this plan. Well, here's the problem. It was
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: his plan. He's the one that proposed it. He's the
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: one that started it. So a lot of people think
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: he saw some internal polling that was frightening him, that
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: he's got absolutely no shot with Democrats. Democrats just don't
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: like him. That's how he got wiped out in the primary.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: So they think he's trying now to appeal to moderates, independents, Republicans.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: But here's the guy who was the guy that came
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: up with this plan to close Rikers Island. Now he's
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: against it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: We should rebuild new, state of the art jails on
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Rikers Island, provide free bus service, and use those existing
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: sites for housing and commercial development.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody said that all along. You're the one that
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: wanted to close it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Let's make a major start by stopping a major debacle,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: which is the new jail construction to replace Rikers Island.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: The writing is on the wall. It promises to be
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: New York City's big Ditch. It is already years late,
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: big is over budget and obsolete.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Geez talking about how horrible it is. It's his plan,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: it was his idea, it's his plan. He's the one
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: that did it. It's an incredible flip flop. Now I
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: should point out there's another factor to this, because you say, well,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: what if you got the big prison and you don't
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: need the other five, and it's on an island, no
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: place more secure, why would you ever want to close it?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Why would you ever want to move it? Well, a
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: lot of people think the real reason is there were
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: big developers that wanted that island. They wanted to build condos,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: They want to put casinos, want they had all kinds
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: of plans and they were making massive donations to politicians
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: to get Rikers Island turned over to them because it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: the only major island around Manhattan that has a nice,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: big bridge. You could drive right to it, you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Governor's Island. When they took the military base away. They
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: tried to sell Governor's Island to developers, condos, apartment but
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: nobody wanted it because you can't drive there, you'd have
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to take a ferry. They tried to sell it to
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: a casino operators, MGM Grand and others all turned it down.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: They can't have high rollers taking a ferry. They wanted
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: it didn't have a bridge. Rikers Onland the only island
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: with a bridge, and it's big, and it's kind of bridge.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: So that's the real reason a lot of people think Cuomo,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: de Blasio and the rest, we're all trying to come
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: up with this island to hand it over to developers.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: But big, big, big flip flop for Cuomo. Here's Mom
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Donnie on all of this.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo's proposal to take that which is broken, that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: which is morally bankrupt, that which is a stain on
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: our city, and to keep it open. It's a betrayal
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not only of the law as it stands today, but
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: also of what New Yorkers actually want.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Now you'll notice Mom Donnie, who was always a very
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: fast talker. Mom Donny always talked a mile a minute.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: You notice Mom Donny is now talking slow. Now Cuomo
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: always does that, But Coloma's not that bright. Mom Donnie's
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: very sharp. Why is he's suddenly talking so slow. People
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: think he's getting very nervous in the last four weeks,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: very worried about making a flub or saying the wrong thing.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: He's being very careful when he speaks. It's New York City,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and New York City's famous for nayoral races, where the
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: whole thing can turn around in the last four or
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: five weeks. It's happened before. Here's Curtis on all this.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, he has a press conference, we must
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: close Reich his island. Two weeks ago he once again
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: reiterated he should have been closed a long time ago.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Where would he have put the inmates back then? You
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: can't trust Cuomo. He's the flip flop guy.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: He is quite a flip flopper, and you gotta give
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: him credit the gall of this guy. I got pathological huts,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: but just flip flop on this thing. Anyway. We'll get
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: to the New Jersey governor's race. They had the final
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: debate last night. We got a lot to get to
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: coming up. We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: three two one zero seven ten
