• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now, nine till noon weekday.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Smart Simone.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Only on 710WOR. Well, Jimmy Fallon, he does a great
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: show here every night, nine to midnight. It's really funny, interesting.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he keeps it up for three hours,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: but he does. And then on Saturday nights, he does
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the best late night show on television, Saturday nights at 10,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Fox News Channel. The finest monologue in all of television.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Make sure you watch it. Jimmy Fallon, how you doing?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Good, I survived a wild night in Fairfield, New Jersey
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: with the WOR listeners last night.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I heard you sold out the whole place.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kachina Calandra, you know you've made it when you're
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: on the breadstick circuit, you know? A lot of guys
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: wanted to get on Carson, they wanted to get on
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the Vegas Strip, I wanted to get on Route 46. Wow.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: A ship has sailed in. It was great. We loved it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Good rowdy crowd. You cannot offend a New Jersey audience.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And believe me, I tried everything. It didn't happen.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But, you know, you travel the country every week and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you play the biggest venues. Isn't it kind of nice
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to be a more intimate kind of club?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, because that's how you start out as a comic.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You're not playing 2,000 and 3,000 seat theaters. You usually
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: are partnering with a restaurant to do like a comedy night.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And the funny thing about last night, and this is
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: what was different about it, is obviously it's a much
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: classier venue than I started out in. But also, the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: customers knew there was going to be a comedy show, okay?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: One of the things they do in Manhattan and they
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: do a little bit out on Long Island is sometimes
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you'll show up to a night of spaghetti thinking you're
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: going to have a quiet dinner, and then you find
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: out two bites in that you're in the front row
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of a 35 comic extravaganza. So it wasn't an ambush.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: It was a premeditated attack, and everybody was in on it,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and it was so great. So shout out to WOR.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: They did a good job on that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Because of you. You did it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Let's talk seriously about the Cheesecake Factory. I got the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: impression that Obama did not really understand what Cheesecake Factory
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: means to Americans, real middle America.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Number one. Number two, his apology of he said, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I have two daughters. I hung out at the Cheesecake Factory.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: That was my jam. He wasn't going to the Cheesecake Factory. OK,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: or they'd be putting up pictures to defend him, you know.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: They don't have those pictures because he wasn't going because
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: he is an elitist snob. I have to tell you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: this because everybody always says, well, Michelle Obama is going
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to run someday. She's not going to run someday because
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: she hates everybody. She doesn't want to be around little
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: people like us on the campaign trail, and neither does he.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So when he showed up and did his little– he
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: does his little routine and he bangs on Trump and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: everything else, and the crowd loves it. But you know
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: who doesn't love it? Everybody else. Like, Obama is a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: star if you're in the room. But if you look
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: at his endorsement record, okay, Obama's presidential endorsements have clothed
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: half the people in Honduras. There's President Hillary hoodies. There's,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know, Kamala Harris 2024 first email. We broke the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: glass ceiling. It's all down there. They're walking around in
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it right now. They're wearing Tampa Bay Rays World Series
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: championship outfits as we speak. That's what Obama does. Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. There would be photos of him
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in the Cheesecake Factory if he'd ever been there. Totally.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You must experience this, though, with some of these, you know, Washington, D.C.,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Upper East Side, Southampton crowd. They've never been to real America.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: They've never heard of the Olive Garden. They don't know
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: what it is. They think the Cheesecake Factory is a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: little store that sells cheesecakes. They think that's all it is.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: You know one of my favorite things, because you're right
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: about that. They don't travel, you know, what they consider
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to be the flyover states. They're actually, you know, the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: best states. You're never going to walk out the door
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: in Findlay, Ohio, and see some wizard with no pants on,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, sitting on a park bench like you might
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: here in New York. And they don't realize that those people, culture-wise,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: have everything we do now. In the age of the internet,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: everybody has the same restaurants. Everybody has the same stores.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: It's all the same. But the most offensive thing New
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: York coastal elites ever did regarding the Cheesecake Factory is,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: do you remember when Bloomberg started slapping calories on all
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the menus? I was like, hey, Bloomberg, okay, nobody was
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: counting calories at a place called the Cheesecake Factory. It
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: was implied in the bargain that I might be eating
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a little unhealthy tonight. Okay? I mean, come on, man.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I love the Cheesecake Factory, but like you.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You look at the menu, I knew it was calories,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but sometimes like 3,800 calories on one entree. Who knew
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it was that bad? But it's worth it, isn't it?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's good stuff.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Guys like you, Hannity, you're different from people on MS
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Now or CNN. They just live in the bubble. But
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: guys like you, Hannity, you travel the country. You've been
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in a diner in Pittsburgh. You've been in an IHOP
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in the middle of Nebraska. So it's an experience. None
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of those Democrats have. They never talk to real people,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: do they?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: No, they don't even talk to their staff. They don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: even talk to their coworkers. Like, you know what's interesting
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: about Fox, okay? You can throw on Hannity at 9 o'clock,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and you might see a Fox & Friends host on
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: there as a guest, meaning a morning guest. You might
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: see a midday guest. We all do each other's shows.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: There's a little more of a community here. You've never
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: turned on Morning Joe and seen Rachel Maddow on the panel.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? You're never going to turn
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: on Rachel Maddow and see Mika Brzezinski doing a nighttime hit.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Because they all think they're the center of the universe,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and they hate everybody. So you can't imagine how they
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: feel about going out to Long Island to the Embassy
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Diner and, you know, meeting Gus and one of the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: guys over there serving you good Greek food. Oh, my God.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: They don't want to meet Gus. These people are monsters. Monsters.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon, Ilan Omar. Now they find out this is
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: just breaking her real name, Dan Sullivan. So maybe she
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: could join.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Us, too.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You got me. Good job.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So, hey, this is Dan Sullivan. Trump is right. These
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: people should be arrested for this fraud, shouldn't they?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Totally. But I want to be up front with the audience.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: We tried to do this in 2024. We wanted to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: find another Kamala Harris, but we couldn't get into the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: AA meetings. It was tricky. But yeah, no, it's a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: definite scam. And my favorite thing about it is Every
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Democrat has spent the last week telling us Trump's going
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to interfere, he's going to send in ICE, they're going
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to confiscate the ballots. They constantly accuse us of cheating
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: while they're actually cheating. They put two Dan Sullivans, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I saw a girl on CNN last night, okay? She said- Well,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: there's a history of this, because if you remember when
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: RFK was running against Biden, the Republicans supported RFK. I'm like,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: but they have two different names. One is Joe Biden.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: The other is RFK Jr. The only person who wouldn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: know the difference is Biden.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Now, apparently Republicans wanted to do it, but they couldn't
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: find a guy named Mohammed Abdul El-Sayed. It's not easy
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: That's too funny. You know, wouldn't it be easier at
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this point if the media just did tell us, like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: which terror groups he doesn't have ties to? It's like
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: he collected them like Pokemon cards, man. You got to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: catch them all. This is crazy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, in New York, Bruce Blakeman looks very, in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the real polls, not the fake ones, the real polls,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it looks deadlocked. You think he can actually win?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's on my show this weekend. He's going to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: be on Saturday night. And, you know, let's hope, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: people actually tune in with an open mind, because if
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you listen to him talk. You go like, oh, this
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: guy could actually lead the state. If you listen to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, you realize she's only governor because she was
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the one chick in Albany that was too annoying for
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Cuomo to hit on. She doesn't know what she's doing,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and she's like following Mom Donnie now. Now she wants to–
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: every tax, every dumb spending initiative because she wants to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: be on the right side of Mom Donnie, which of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: course for the state is the worst thing that could
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: possibly happen. So– Let's hope the Jimmy fail-a-bounce gets old
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Brucie Blakeman over the finish line.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so watch him on Saturday night. It's a great
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: show every Saturday night at 10 o'clock. Uh, and can
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: people be in the audience? Can they get tickets? Are
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: there still some.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: For tickets are always free. If you want to come
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to a taping, we tape Friday night and the tickets
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: are free at Fox across America.com. Come down this weekend.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You'll see the governor. Uh, you can see a lot
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of Fox people cause it's the midterm. So they send
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the adults out. They won't, I can't have my comedy
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: buddies on the make balloon animals this weekend. It's going
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to be a lot of adults, but it's going to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: be a good show. We're fired up for it. We
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: can't wait. Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It's a great free date. If you want to bring
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: somebody Friday evenings, but the tickets are free. Go to Foxacrossamerica.com.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And then the radio show is every weeknight, 9 to midnight.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But it's really funny. But how do you keep that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: up for three hours? Non-stop jokes for three hours.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: You know what, man, I'm just in it, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and you got to remember this. I'm used to keeping
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: it up for 12 hours. I was a taxi driver.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And as a taxi driver, you got to be entertaining
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: for 12 hours or somebody's going to hit you in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the head with a thermos, you know, choke you out
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: on the West side highway. So for me, I'm working
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: like a thorough quarter of a shift right now. This
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't bother me at all.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: When you were a taxi driver, didn't, weren't people a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: little shocked? They get in the cab and they find
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out you speak English and you got a real personality.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: That's unusual.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Can I tell you something? People would like literally
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like want to want you to like call their parents
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and leave them a voicemail. Like you wouldn't believe what
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I saw in New York city.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So you're like your own little tourist attraction. You're right
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, the marathon is this Sunday. That is one of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the stupidest sports. I mean, I can see being a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: great golfer, learning how to play tennis, but learning how
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to run for 25 miles, where would you need this skill?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a strange thing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, the way... The way Mom Donnie's going
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: with the police, learning how to run might be a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: good thing. Maybe not for 25 miles, but if you
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: could make it across the park in one piece, you'd
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: be an anomaly these days. We'll take that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: If Blakeman wins, he can kind of keep a lid
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: on some of the Mom Donnie nonsense. Also, it'd be
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a great thing in this anti-Semitism world now to have
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a Jewish governor, wouldn't it?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's what we need, just because it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: What they're getting wrong, and there's really no politician who's
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: doing a perfect job of explaining this, is everybody on
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the Mamdani side of this conflict is an idiot. Think
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: about right now, the people are yelling free Palestine. Gaza
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: is currently run by people who don't hold elections. OK,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: so it's not Israel that's keeping them under wraps. It
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: is Hamas, the terror group, you idiots. I'm like, so
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: when you say free Palestine, you maybe want to follow
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it up with from who? Is Israel in control of it?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You know, and maybe Blakeman could do that. And, you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I was not supposed to be the voice of reason
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: as a guy who went to Nassau Community College.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But here we are.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Two state solution. Didn't we just try that? Look how
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it worked out. It wasn't so successful. So listen to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon tonight, 9 to midnight. What are you going
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to be doing on tonight's show?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Well, because we're in that homestretch preview of the new
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: White House press secretary, you're probably going to hear Caroline
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Sunshine and Anna Kelly, two people who were talked about
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: quite a bit as the next replacement for Katie Zachariah
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: and her mighty one-day tour de force. These girls got
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: big heels to fill. You better wish them luck.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That's a good show tonight. Listen to Jimmy Fallon. Every weeknight.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you're going to love the show. You're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: going to get addicted to it every weeknight, 9 to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: midnight here on WOR. Make sure you watch his TV shows,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the best late-night show on television, Saturday nights at 10,
