Hour 3: FULL HOUR · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty eight. Now it's silly to talk about who
0:03
Speaker 1: the candidate's going to be. That's just crazy. I mean,
0:06
Speaker 1: people love to do it, love to speculate who's going
0:09
Speaker 1: to be the nominee in twenty twenty eight, but makes
0:11
Speaker 1: no sense at all to even talk about it. It's
0:13
Speaker 1: like saying who's going to win the twenty twenty nine
0:15
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Who knows. Everything will change ten times between
0:19
Speaker 1: now and then, But right now, the way it stands
0:23
Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom is out. He was the front runner
0:26
Speaker 1: for a few minutes. And like we always point out,
0:29
Speaker 1: there's always always in democratic world, three years out, there's
0:33
Speaker 1: always a front runner. It's always some pretty boy. It's
0:35
Speaker 1: Gary hard or it's John Edwards or something like that.
0:39
Speaker 1: They're always the front runner in the beginning. Then they
0:41
Speaker 1: fizzle out. That was Gavin Newsom this time, and then
0:44
Speaker 1: you got all these crazy aocs and socialists and all
0:47
Speaker 1: that stuff. But usually if you're the Democrats, you want
0:53
Speaker 1: to somehow have somebody rise up and lead you back
0:56
Speaker 1: to the center, a centrist to like a Bill Clinton,
1:00
Speaker 1: and this time around that could be Josh Shapiro somebody
1:02
Speaker 1: like that. But but don't be surprised if they end
1:07
Speaker 1: up with Kamala Harris again. Kamala Harris is back in
1:11
Speaker 1: the race. She wants to be the nominee again. She's
1:15
Speaker 1: running around doing shows and listen to this. She's got
1:19
Speaker 1: a phrase, a catchphrase she's using. She's urging Democratic voters
1:24
Speaker 1: to make the midterms. She'd make it look like I'm
1:28
Speaker 1: just campaigning for the midterms right now, but she's really
1:30
Speaker 1: it launching a presidential bid. But she wants voters to
1:33
Speaker 1: make the midterms. Too big to rig. Now, where have
1:38
Speaker 1: we heard that phrase before? Yeah, she took it from
1:40
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. She keeps saying too big to rig. It's
1:43
Speaker 1: a Trump catchphrase. Next thing you know, she'll have matta hats,
1:49
Speaker 1: make America Democrat again. But she's copying a lot of
1:53
Speaker 1: Trump stuff. She ripped off the phrase, used it in
1:56
Speaker 1: several speeches yesterday New Orleans and other places. Gotta be
1:59
Speaker 1: too big to rig to stop the cheating Republicans. Well,
2:03
Speaker 1: first of all, all this cheating always turns out to
2:05
Speaker 1: be Democrats, and it can't be Republicans because the cheating's
2:09
Speaker 1: all in favor of Democrats, so it's got to be
2:12
Speaker 1: democrats doing it. She's out there in the campaign trail.
2:15
Speaker 1: Listen to her.
2:16
Speaker 2: Of course, the good news is that Donald Trump will
2:19
Speaker 2: be turned out.
2:22
Speaker 1: However, now that's what they call an applause line. Normally,
2:27
Speaker 1: when the candidate says that, the whole audience supposed to
2:30
Speaker 1: start applodding like crazy. But listen again, she's not. She's talking,
2:34
Speaker 1: and nobody's really listening. That's why there's no big applause
2:37
Speaker 1: when she says it.
2:38
Speaker 2: Of course, the good news is that Donald Trump will
2:41
Speaker 2: be turned out. However, however, let us also be clear,
2:49
Speaker 2: there is no term limit on this new Republican Party.
2:55
Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean? I have no idea
2:57
Speaker 1: what she's saying and what new Republican party? We see
2:59
Speaker 1: a new demoocratic party, all the crazy socialists, What new
3:02
Speaker 1: Republican party? But it is kind of a quiet audience
3:06
Speaker 1: and not exactly on the edge of their seat listening
3:08
Speaker 1: to her, and she is kind of a lackluster when
3:13
Speaker 1: she talks.
3:14
Speaker 2: This is the most callous, corrupt, and incompetent administration in
3:21
Speaker 2: America's history.
3:24
Speaker 1: Now she gets the blog incompetent there, yeah, go incompetent.
3:29
Speaker 1: So Joe Biden's a vegetable bumping into the walls to her,
3:34
Speaker 1: that was total competence. Never says a word suddenly, but
3:38
Speaker 1: it sounds good. It sounds good whoever it is. You
3:40
Speaker 1: just say the most corrupt, incompetent, it sounds good. And
3:46
Speaker 1: if you're crazy talking to crazy Democrats, they believe it.
3:49
Speaker 1: And you got that crazy Hong who's running This is
3:52
Speaker 1: the one that wanted to ban Thanksgiving forever. Talk about
3:56
Speaker 1: changing your tune. Remember she was going to ban Thanksgiving.
3:58
Speaker 1: It was a terrible, corrupt holiday celebrating colonials, which I
4:03
Speaker 1: hated Thanksgiving. It was painful going to ban it. Now, listen,
4:06
Speaker 1: my favorite holiday is.
4:11
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving because I didn't have it.
4:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to cancel it.
4:18
Speaker 5: I actually love it.
4:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's two weeks ago you're talking about canceling it.
4:25
Speaker 1: It's the worst out. It's totally painful. So hey, they
4:30
Speaker 1: caught a big, big leaker. Now you remember, there's a
4:33
Speaker 1: brand new Air Force one. The cutter lent Us gave us.
4:38
Speaker 1: Actually this big plane. There's supposed to be a new
4:41
Speaker 1: Air Force one because the current Air Force one is
4:43
Speaker 1: a little old and dilapidated. So there's a new Air
4:47
Speaker 1: Force one, state of the art, great, incredible, but Boeing
4:51
Speaker 1: has had massive delays, so it's way behind schedule. It's
4:54
Speaker 1: supposed to be ready now won't be ready for a
4:57
Speaker 1: couple of years, a year or two, big delays. So
5:00
Speaker 1: Cutter lends President Trump an incredible plane, I mean, state
5:06
Speaker 1: of the art, makes Air Force one look like an
5:09
Speaker 1: old propeller plane. I mean, it's unbelievable, it's magnificent. So
5:13
Speaker 1: the President starts using it. And by the way, this
5:17
Speaker 1: plane was just a personal plane of the head of Cutter,
5:20
Speaker 1: so it gives you an idea of the kind of
5:21
Speaker 1: money they got over there. So he's used in the plane.
5:24
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, when he's in Europe
5:27
Speaker 1: or he's in the where was he in Turkey or
5:29
Speaker 1: someplace close to the Middle East, All of a sudden
5:32
Speaker 1: they got rid of that new plane and went back
5:34
Speaker 1: to the old Air Force one. And that was a
5:38
Speaker 1: little surprising. Why would they suddenly go bring the old
5:41
Speaker 1: Air Force one back into service. Well, word leaked out
5:45
Speaker 1: that the problem with the new plane, even though they
5:47
Speaker 1: spent a fortune and a year refitting it, it didn't
5:52
Speaker 1: have full missile defense capability. The old Air Force one
5:55
Speaker 1: has all the missile defense built in. So it leaked
5:58
Speaker 1: out that this did not have full missile defense. President
6:02
Speaker 1: Trump denied at the course that it wasn't true, but
6:04
Speaker 1: you knew it was true. Otherwise he made up some
6:06
Speaker 1: story about, well, we sent the new Air Force one
6:10
Speaker 1: up to Britain so people could see it. The whole
6:13
Speaker 1: story didn't make any sense. So obviously it was true.
6:15
Speaker 1: But it was a terrible leak. And I can understand
6:18
Speaker 1: why he denied it, because you don't want to reveal
6:20
Speaker 1: that to the enemy, that this new one doesn't have
6:22
Speaker 1: full missile defense. They used the new one, but mostly
6:25
Speaker 1: now here in the United States. They don't go overseas
6:27
Speaker 1: with it. But they tracked down the leaker. They found
6:30
Speaker 1: the leaker, the former Air Force secretary. He leaked the information,
6:35
Speaker 1: they say, Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, all
6:41
Speaker 1: his security clearances have been revoked. He was eligible for
6:45
Speaker 1: classified information and he's no longer allowed any classified information.
6:50
Speaker 1: He said that. They say he was the unauthorized leaker
6:53
Speaker 1: disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force one's capability to
6:58
Speaker 1: a media outlet. And if they're saying this, I assume
7:00
Speaker 1: they've actually got it the actual hard proof that probably
7:03
Speaker 1: a cell phone records that sort of stuff. They caught
7:06
Speaker 1: him talking to the reporter. Trump administration actually subpoened several
7:11
Speaker 1: New York Times journalists, So they're the ones New York
7:14
Speaker 1: Times leaking accused of leaking classified information reporting this, which
7:20
Speaker 1: causes a tremendous security problem for a president. So they
7:24
Speaker 1: got the guy. Very good for them. Good for them.
7:27
Speaker 1: And I assume that's the FBI, cash Fortel people like
7:31
Speaker 1: that that uncovered this. So you know, when they talk
7:35
Speaker 1: about the UN General Assembly, the big UN summit where
7:39
Speaker 1: all the world leaders come here, it's in September, and
7:41
Speaker 1: it's not that far away. It's just a few weeks away. Yeah,
7:44
Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you. September is a
7:45
Speaker 1: couple of weeks away. We're almost at the end of summer.
7:50
Speaker 1: So Net Yahoo will be coming here. And Mom Donnie
7:54
Speaker 1: kept talking about arresting net Nahu crypt trying to create
7:57
Speaker 1: a big problem for Net Yaho. NYPD furious. Now it's
8:03
Speaker 1: going to be a security nightmare because Mamdani has riled
8:06
Speaker 1: up people against Netnyah, which creates an even bigger security threat. Now,
8:11
Speaker 1: the other problem with all of this is they're going
8:15
Speaker 1: to have to spend a fortune. I don't know where
8:18
Speaker 1: that all this money is going to come from. But
8:20
Speaker 1: the NYPD is going to have to have a lot
8:21
Speaker 1: more manpower on this because he's going to have to
8:25
Speaker 1: guard Netnya who at his hotel at the UN, his motorcade,
8:31
Speaker 1: Netnya who tends to go out when he's in New
8:33
Speaker 1: York to restaurants and stuff. Netnya who used to live
8:35
Speaker 1: in New York. He used to be I think he
8:38
Speaker 1: was the ambassador of the UN for Israel. But when
8:40
Speaker 1: he during those days he lived in New York, he
8:42
Speaker 1: always saw him in all the top restaurant's Upper East Side.
8:46
Speaker 1: You'd see him in the Promola and Nicola and every
8:50
Speaker 1: place he was around town. All the time, he'd be
8:53
Speaker 1: in Chipriani. And I imagine when he comes back, he's
8:57
Speaker 1: going to visit his old haunts and his old friends.
8:59
Speaker 1: So it's going to cost us a fortune thanks to Mom, Donnie.
9:05
Speaker 1: So you remember the controversy. It is a silly controversy.
9:09
Speaker 1: But Obama one day wore a tan suit. It was
9:13
Speaker 1: a very light suit, a tan suit, and everybody created
9:16
Speaker 1: a stink and they said, this is horrible. Even the
9:21
Speaker 1: fake news, even when it's not presidential to wear a
9:23
Speaker 1: tan suit. This is a silly scandal because you could
9:26
Speaker 1: find pictures of Reagan in a tan suit and other presidents.
9:30
Speaker 1: You could find FDR in a tan suit. But it
9:33
Speaker 1: was a silly little controversy. And so there's you know,
9:37
Speaker 1: there's a Larry David HBO series, not Kurby Enthusiasm. He's
9:41
Speaker 1: been doing a very limited little series, an HBO series
9:44
Speaker 1: called Life Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness. So if
9:48
Speaker 1: you love Larry David, it's on HBO. But they did
9:51
Speaker 1: the season finale and Obama was the special guest, and
9:55
Speaker 1: the funny sketch in the show was that it turned
9:57
Speaker 1: out it was Larry David who picked the tan suit
10:00
Speaker 1: and told Obama to where it's. It's like a flashback
10:02
Speaker 1: to back then they're in the White House and Obama said,
10:06
Speaker 1: you're sure this looks good? Are you sure? And Larry
10:09
Speaker 1: Davids trust me, it looks great, looks great, looks phenomenal,
10:12
Speaker 1: just where that you'll be finding. So and the press
10:15
Speaker 1: made it into a scandal. One of the reasons I
10:17
Speaker 1: think they made it into a scandal. They like to
10:19
Speaker 1: say they go after Obama now and then, but they
10:21
Speaker 1: ignored all the real scandals. There were some serious Obama scandals.
10:26
Speaker 1: Remember when he had the IRS target political groups that
10:29
Speaker 1: he didn't like. The IRS targeted conservative organizations, all the
10:33
Speaker 1: Tea Party groups. Remember the Associated Press phone records seizure.
10:39
Speaker 1: Obama's Justice Department obtained all the telephone records of reporters
10:43
Speaker 1: and editors at the AP they didn't like. There were
10:46
Speaker 1: a lot of Obama scandals. Got Benghazi, the VA. Remember
10:51
Speaker 1: the waytime was like through the rum as many hours
10:53
Speaker 1: at the VA. Remember the bo Burgdal prisoners swap. There
10:57
Speaker 1: were a lot of scandals back then. They just didn't
11:00
Speaker 1: want to it, just didn't want to cover them. Hey
11:02
Speaker 1: remember John Goodman from Roseanne, of course played a Roseanne's husband,
11:06
Speaker 1: John Goodman. You know he got a little thinner through
11:09
Speaker 1: the years. Well, now nobody recognizes him. Nobody knows who
11:13
Speaker 1: he is. He's now lost two hundred pounds. He is skinny.
11:19
Speaker 1: He's a skinny guy. I'm sure it's healthy and he
11:22
Speaker 1: looks okay, but you don't know it's him. So it's
11:25
Speaker 1: a problem now because when people pose for the selfie
11:28
Speaker 1: with him. You know, anybody sees the celebrity, they want
11:30
Speaker 1: a selfie. They want to pose it, post it, but
11:33
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like John Goodman. It's kind of a
11:35
Speaker 1: useless selfie now. But he's seventy four, he said it.
11:38
Speaker 1: There's worst. At the worst, he was four hundred pounds,
11:41
Speaker 1: but he said he cut out sugar, hired a personal trainer,
11:45
Speaker 1: adopted a Mediterranean style diet. Now there's no weight. There's
11:49
Speaker 1: no way you'll lose that much weight with your Mediterranean
11:53
Speaker 1: style diet. You know it's not as I'm sure there's
11:56
Speaker 1: some zep bound or o zempic or something involved. But yeah,
12:00
Speaker 1: oh that stuff is so big right now. Sales are
12:03
Speaker 1: through the roof. They're beyond anything anybody imagine and growing
12:08
Speaker 1: like crazy. Hey, speaking of that. Mayor Adams Eric Adams
12:13
Speaker 1: guy was always an incredible shape, but he did a
12:18
Speaker 1: posting this week where he posed with a shirt off
12:21
Speaker 1: so you can see all the muscles and everything, holding
12:24
Speaker 1: a big cucumber in his hand. But uh, the way
12:29
Speaker 1: he's holding that cucumber, it doesn't look right. Something looks wrong.
12:32
Speaker 1: He's holding a bell pepper in the other's hand, posing
12:35
Speaker 1: with his shirt off on X boasting about how he
12:40
Speaker 1: had diabetes that nearly cost me. It cost him his eyesight,
12:43
Speaker 1: he changed his diet, his lifestyle. Okay, if it's gonna
12:47
Speaker 1: if it's gonna inspire people, and that's good. Todd Shapiro,
12:51
Speaker 1: good press agent Todd Shapiro, friend of mine, a spokesman
12:54
Speaker 1: for Adams, said, when a former mayor takes his shirt
12:57
Speaker 1: off and poses for a photo, of course it's going
12:58
Speaker 1: to become a story. This is New York. But behind
13:01
Speaker 1: the laps and photos, it's actually a serious story about health.
13:05
Speaker 1: And Okay, Hey, Todd Shapiro lost a lot of he
13:08
Speaker 1: was heavier, lost a lot of weight. I'm trying to
13:11
Speaker 1: think any other mayor posing shirtless. No, I don't think
13:14
Speaker 1: we'd want to see that deplasia. No, I don't want
13:18
Speaker 1: to see that. Mom, Donnie might look. You know, he's
13:23
Speaker 1: in good shape. Bloomberg shirtless? No no, No, who's bef
13:29
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani definitely not. No, you don't want to see
13:32
Speaker 1: that Dinkins. Dinkins was in pretty good shape. But Ed Kotch, Now,
13:37
Speaker 1: nobody wants to see any mayor shirtless or in a
13:40
Speaker 1: bathing suit. Hey, remember Bloomberg got to do that stunt
13:42
Speaker 1: where he goes swimming with people. Remember, even he wore
13:45
Speaker 1: a shirt, a T shirt with his bathing suit even
13:47
Speaker 1: in the swimming pool. You know that CBS News anchor
13:54
Speaker 1: David Muir, ABC Nightly News, that's the biggest one, they
13:57
Speaker 1: highest rated. And then they got rid of Lester Holt,
13:59
Speaker 1: who's the on ABC, Tom Yamas or whoever. He kind
14:02
Speaker 1: of looks like David Muir. So all three network anchors
14:05
Speaker 1: look exactly the same. CBS has Tony Dough koopoo poll.
14:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hella's name is. You know,
14:14
Speaker 1: the problem is the CBS Evening News used to be
14:17
Speaker 1: Walter Cronkite, most famous newsman in the world. Then it
14:21
Speaker 1: was Dan Rather, not as good, but he became the
14:23
Speaker 1: most famous anchorman in the world. Then it was Bob Schieffer.
14:29
Speaker 1: We knew who he was, and he was a very
14:30
Speaker 1: fine newsman, very fine guy too, but not too exciting.
14:34
Speaker 1: Then who did they go, Oh, it is Katie Couric. Yeah,
14:38
Speaker 1: famous but didn't work, and nobody bought her as an anchor,
14:41
Speaker 1: and then it was a series of people. Do you
14:43
Speaker 1: remember the anchors? After that? It was for the first
14:46
Speaker 1: time in history they had anchors of the CBS Nightly
14:49
Speaker 1: News and nobody knew their name. Nobody. You could put
14:52
Speaker 1: them on a police lineup. Nobody could tell you who
14:55
Speaker 1: they were. They were just to I mean, they would
14:58
Speaker 1: have been good bank robbers. Nobody could remember them. The
15:00
Speaker 1: witnesses couldn't describe it. Anybody who I can't even remember
15:03
Speaker 1: their names. There was a bunch of them. Then it
15:06
Speaker 1: was Norah O'Donnell, who was as bland as can be.
15:08
Speaker 1: Now they got this guy Tony, and nobody knows his name.
15:12
Speaker 1: But it's okay too because even if you know it,
15:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell this name is. Tony
15:15
Speaker 1: the culp, whatever his name is, looks good. I don't know.
15:20
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not bad doing the news. But he
15:21
Speaker 1: took a couple weeks off and he was replaced by
15:25
Speaker 1: Matt Gutman, fill in, just a fill in guy. But
15:28
Speaker 1: the ratings went way up under Matt Gutman. Yeah, the
15:32
Speaker 1: ratings went well over four million, which is unusual for them.
15:35
Speaker 1: So it's not good for Tony, whatever the hell his
15:38
Speaker 1: name is. There Matt Gutman fills in ratings way up. Hey,
15:42
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
15:45
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Call me. Now,
15:48
Speaker 1: let's get some new callers too if you never called
15:50
Speaker 1: us before. The number is eight hundred three to two
15:53
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. This show is now nine am
15:57
Speaker 1: till Now let's take some calls. Let's go to Nancy
16:01
Speaker 1: Fresh Meadows. Nancy, how you doing fine?
16:03
Speaker 5: Mark? I love this show and I have something interesting.
16:06
Speaker 1: To tell you will be the judge of that.
16:09
Speaker 5: Okay, let me tell you.
16:10
Speaker 6: Okay.
16:11
Speaker 5: I was either the end of May early June. I
16:13
Speaker 5: was working along Horace Harding Boulevard from one location to
16:17
Speaker 5: the other, and I crept into the back of the
16:20
Speaker 5: CVS pharmacy. I walked with a kinge.
16:24
Speaker 1: So far it's not too fascinating worth the interesting part, Okay.
16:28
Speaker 5: I walked into the entrance of back of the CVS
16:31
Speaker 5: pharmacy and I sat down where people get their prescription. Yes,
16:35
Speaker 5: and I'm sitting there, and a gentleman walks in with
16:38
Speaker 5: a yamaka. Now, my first language was Yiddish. My parents
16:43
Speaker 5: spoke Russian to each other and Yiddish to me. And
16:45
Speaker 5: I seek the man with a Yamaica. I said to him, sir,
16:49
Speaker 5: do you speak Yiddish? He says, I was born in Israel.
16:52
Speaker 1: Well, I know I'm going to be honest so far,
16:55
Speaker 1: still not so fascinating. I mean, it's interesting you're trying
16:57
Speaker 1: to hit on guys in the drug store.
16:58
Speaker 5: But okay, no, no, he was probably early fifties sixties.
17:01
Speaker 1: So what are you doing hitting on this guy?
17:03
Speaker 5: Okay, he's wearing a yamaka. So he said, he doesn't speak.
17:08
Speaker 1: We got that guy.
17:08
Speaker 5: I said to him, are you going to vote from
17:11
Speaker 5: mister Blakeman? Huh? And he said, who is mister Blakeman?
17:16
Speaker 5: I said, Donald Trump loves him. He says, I voted
17:20
Speaker 5: for Donald Trump. So I said, now, where is.
17:22

18:23
Speaker 5: Hi, Mark, congrats on the nine o'clock hour.
18:25
Speaker 1: Thanks.
18:26
Speaker 5: I wanted to remind you of a time.
18:28
Speaker 1: You got up even earlier at seven am on Saturday.
18:33
Speaker 6: There was Warner Wolves and you.
18:36
Speaker 5: Told rat pack stories and you two were hilarious.
18:40
Speaker 1: We used to do the rat pack moment or whatever. Yeah,
18:43
Speaker 1: I used to do it. It was great now that
18:46
Speaker 1: you mentioned. For many, many years I did a Saturday
18:48
Speaker 1: morning show six to ten Crash were You're the engineer
18:52
Speaker 1: on that. No, sometimes crashes, so look at that. Nothing changes.
18:56
Speaker 1: Crash is still the engineer here today. Actually, Crasher rich
19:00
Speaker 1: Samenta rich Cimento is now Mark Levin's producer. Well, you
19:05
Speaker 1: got me up at seven am every Saturday, and that
19:07
Speaker 1: is somebody had to, but that's true. Thanks for reminding me.
19:13
Speaker 1: You know, I used to fill in for Imus like
19:15
Speaker 1: ten weeks a year, so that was six am to
19:19
Speaker 1: ten Yeah, okay, so I've done it before. Oh one year.
19:22
Speaker 1: He would always take August off, so I would do
19:24
Speaker 1: it for four It was using me and Warnerwolf. We'd
19:27
Speaker 1: do it for four weeks, and unfortunately his brother died
19:30
Speaker 1: during that time, so he took another four week. So
19:32
Speaker 1: it was like eight weeks in a row, six to
19:34
Speaker 1: ten am, getting up at five in the morning. But
19:38
Speaker 1: I did it. I can get through this. Let's go
19:40
Speaker 1: to Stuart in South Carolina.
19:42
Speaker 4: Stuart, how you doing, Hey, Mark car are you you
19:45
Speaker 4: know talking about the posse cancer with Biden. I never
19:48
Speaker 4: bought that. I said, something's really wrong here.
19:50
Speaker 2: You know.
19:51
Speaker 4: I was seventy one years old when I was diagnosed
19:54
Speaker 4: with prostate cancer and they do the test. The only
19:58
Speaker 4: thing the doctor told me, he said, if you're eight,
20:00
Speaker 4: we would tell you don't do radiation or anything else.
20:03
Speaker 4: Don't even bother. But they are doing the test, and
20:06
Speaker 4: I don't understand how. Yeah, I hate to say that
20:09
Speaker 4: the President of the United States is not checked for
20:12
Speaker 4: prosten No. I mean that is one of the most
20:14
Speaker 4: normal things.
20:15
Speaker 1: I'm sure he is, Stuart good point.
20:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a lie here, and we did get
20:19
Speaker 3: annual physicals, but they followed the guidelines of the American
20:25
Speaker 3: Neurology Association and which says that men don't get prostate
20:29
Speaker 3: screening after the age of seventy.
20:32
Speaker 5: So I'm fortunate.
20:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guarantee you any good doctor is doing a
20:35
Speaker 1: prostate screening on somebody over seventy and he's going to
20:38
Speaker 1: White House doctor's white House physical nothing's more thorough. So
20:42
Speaker 1: I don't believe her. Something else happened there. Let's go
20:45
Speaker 1: to Vincent and Brooklyn.
20:46
Speaker 7: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark. I couldn't agree
20:49
Speaker 7: with Stuart law. And this is for all men who
20:53
Speaker 7: over sixty. Mark. I'm in my mid seventies and every
20:57
Speaker 7: three months I get a physical and my last physic
21:00
Speaker 7: to doctor flagged me. He says, your prostrate value. Prostrate
21:04
Speaker 7: value is over the limit, he said. He said, we're
21:08
Speaker 7: going to put you on some meds. And he said,
21:10
Speaker 7: in September next month, I have to go for another
21:13
Speaker 7: PSA And he said, if it's over the top, over
21:16
Speaker 7: the limit, you have to go for a special MRI
21:21
Speaker 7: that tests to see if you have it. That is
21:24
Speaker 7: that what whoever was saying that they don't give screenings
21:27
Speaker 7: after a certain age. That's boloney, especially if you have
21:31
Speaker 7: it in your family. Somebody died and your family from it.
21:35
Speaker 7: If anything, if your insurance company's going to be cheap,
21:39
Speaker 7: you pay for it. Like before I used to. I
21:42
Speaker 7: couldn't get insurance at one time. I used to pay
21:45
Speaker 7: for it all on my own. And I was telling Chris,
21:50
Speaker 7: I have a friend, had a friend, a very very
21:53
Speaker 7: famous Brazilian jazz musician. I'm not gonna mention his name
21:57
Speaker 7: out of respect for his family. He got when he
22:00
Speaker 7: was seventy years old, and by the time he was
22:03
Speaker 7: seventy three, he passed away.
22:06
Speaker 1: That's terrible, Vincent. We gotta go, we go, Vincent. We
22:09
Speaker 1: got to go do the news.
22:10
Speaker 7: But you probably had long before that.
22:14
Speaker 1: Good luck, So good Vincent. We gotta go do the news.
22:17
Speaker 1: There's a certain time limit on when we got to
22:19
Speaker 1: hit it. But h Vincent, good luck. In September, we'll
22:23
Speaker 1: be uh, we'll be praying for you. Hey, when we
22:25
Speaker 1: come back, Bruce Blakeman will be with us. Next is
22:28
Speaker 1: getting Bruce Blakeman elected governor of New York. That could
22:31
Speaker 1: start to turn things around and really make a difference.
22:34
Speaker 1: Now you can help by going to blakemanfronew york dot com.
22:38
Speaker 1: Make sure you donate volunteer. Go to blakemanfronew York dot com.
22:42
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman running against Kathy Hokele and he's with us now.
22:46
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, how you doing.
22:49
Speaker 6: I'm doing great. Mark. It's always an honor to be
22:51
Speaker 6: on with you. You're one of the most beloved people in
22:54
Speaker 6: all of New York.
22:55
Speaker 1: Oh look who's talking. Well, everybody loves you in Long Island. Uh,
22:59
Speaker 1: your job county executive. That's pretty much being a governor,
23:01
Speaker 1: isn't it. So you're gonna have come with a lot
23:03
Speaker 1: of experience.
23:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're chief executive, as county executive of a county
23:10
Speaker 6: that's larger than eight states and population and it's a
23:14
Speaker 6: very diverse community. We got people from every race, religion,
23:18
Speaker 6: as in the group, people of all abilities and lifestyles.
23:21
Speaker 6: And in my county. I want to do. I want
23:24
Speaker 6: to do for the state what I've done in my county,
23:26
Speaker 6: and that's basically make people happy again.
23:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, when people say, oh, you can't Republican can't win
23:32
Speaker 1: in New York State, they said that about you in NASA.
23:35
Speaker 1: Isn't the makeup of Nasa County pretty similar to New
23:37
Speaker 1: York State.
23:40
Speaker 6: Our demographics are virtually identical, so it's not like we're
23:44
Speaker 6: comparing apples to oranges. I have won in a county
23:48
Speaker 6: with one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats in a landslide,
23:52
Speaker 6: because again I said I wouldn't raise taxes. I didn't
23:56
Speaker 6: raise them a penny. As a matter of fact, I
23:57
Speaker 6: caught them by one hundred and fifty million dollars. I
23:59
Speaker 6: said I'd make safer communities, our community, our county is
24:04
Speaker 6: the safest county in America according to the US News
24:06
Speaker 6: and World Report. I said that I would make for
24:09
Speaker 6: economic development, better jobs, higher pay, and better lifestyle. And
24:14
Speaker 6: Niche magazine just named us the most desirable place to
24:18
Speaker 6: live in all of New York State. So I want
24:20
Speaker 6: to do for New York State what I've already done
24:22
Speaker 6: for my county, which is a very large county, and
24:26
Speaker 6: something that Kathy Hoko hasn't done. And as a matter
24:28
Speaker 6: of fact, every place I go mark in New York State,
24:31
Speaker 6: people tell me how miserable they are under Kathy Hockel,
24:34
Speaker 6: where the most overtaxed state. Our electric bills are seventy
24:37
Speaker 6: percent higher than the national average. And she's the most
24:40
Speaker 6: pro criminal governor in the United States. She's the worst
24:43
Speaker 6: governor in the United States.
24:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are electric bills. A first, Cuomo shuts nuclear
24:48
Speaker 1: energy down Indian Point, that's twenty five percent of electricity.
24:51
Speaker 1: She bans fracking. Aren't they the ones, the Democrats that
24:54
Speaker 1: drove those electric bills up to five a month?
24:59
Speaker 6: Well, you're absolutely. We're sitting on one of the largest
25:01
Speaker 6: natural gas reserves in the world, and we don't extract
25:05
Speaker 6: that natural gas. In fact, Kathy Hope buys it from Pennsylvania.
25:10
Speaker 6: So we don't get the tax revenue, we don't get
25:12
Speaker 6: the jobs, we don't get the economic activity. So if
25:15
Speaker 6: we were extracting that natural gas, we bring our supply down.
25:19
Speaker 6: And she's investing in a scam it's called the green
25:21
Speaker 6: energy scam, where she's putting solar farms up in places
25:26
Speaker 6: in upstate New York that are under snow five months
25:28
Speaker 6: out of the year, or we're carbines in the middle
25:31
Speaker 6: of the ocean. How ridiculous is that it's probably the
25:34
Speaker 6: most expensive place to build something. She wants to put
25:37
Speaker 6: sixty story wind turbines in the ocean. It's bad for
25:41
Speaker 6: marine life, it's bad for commercial and recreational fishing, and
25:45
Speaker 6: it produces very little energy and it's very costly. But
25:48
Speaker 6: she's giving billions of dollars of contracts away, and she's
25:51
Speaker 6: getting millions of dollars from the very same people in
25:54
Speaker 6: political contributions. That stops. When I become governor. I will
25:58
Speaker 6: cut electric bills in half.
26:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, they did all that in Europe with the
26:02
Speaker 1: windmills and the solo and then after about five years
26:04
Speaker 1: they had to take it all down because it didn't
26:06
Speaker 1: produce much energy. But well, the one thing about giving
26:10
Speaker 1: away those contracts. She has put together a pretty amazing
26:13
Speaker 1: war chest, doesn't she have like thirty five million to
26:16
Speaker 1: spend against you?
26:18
Speaker 6: Yeah? But you know what, it's not going to materially
26:22
Speaker 6: change this race because again every day Mark Democrats walk
26:28
Speaker 6: up to me and they say, I've never voted Democrat.
26:31
Speaker 6: I mean, I've never voted Republican in my life. I'm
26:34
Speaker 6: going to vote for you this year because my party's
26:36
Speaker 6: gotten crazy. They're insane, they're nuts. You got Zoron Mundamie
26:40
Speaker 6: and Kathy Hokel. The place is in a death spiral.
26:45
Speaker 6: Our economics are last in the United States of America.
26:49
Speaker 6: We're fifty out of fifty states in economic outlook. We're
26:52
Speaker 6: paying too much in taxes, we're not creating jobs in prosperity.
26:56
Speaker 6: And we have a governor that she protects criminals community.
27:00
Speaker 6: So I don't care how much money she has. The
27:04
Speaker 6: people are on our side. We're raising money too. And
27:06
Speaker 6: if anybody out there wants to contribute to my campaign
27:10
Speaker 6: or get them on sign or volunteer, go to Blakemanfromnew
27:14
Speaker 6: York dot com.
27:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, very important to donate to Go to Blakeman for
27:18
Speaker 1: New York dot Com. Now, people must say to you
27:22
Speaker 1: all the time, because I've heard people say this. You know,
27:25
Speaker 1: everybody's an expert to come to you, Well, you know
27:27
Speaker 1: what you should do, you know what you got to do?
27:28
Speaker 1: They see. But one thing I hear, he's got to
27:31
Speaker 1: up the social media game. He's got to get that
27:33
Speaker 1: guy that Spencer Pratt had in LA. You must be
27:35
Speaker 1: hearing that too.
27:37
Speaker 6: Yeah. So here's the thing. We are now in the
27:41
Speaker 6: top five of every campaign in America. Thank you, yes, Mark.
27:46
Speaker 6: How many views that I had on my social media
27:50
Speaker 6: in the month of June.
27:52
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just looking at I don't know how many.
27:56
Speaker 6: Fifty seven million.
27:57
Speaker 1: Oh, that's pretty good.
27:59
Speaker 6: So we are rocking and rolling. People were right when
28:02
Speaker 6: they said that four months ago because we were ramping up.
28:05
Speaker 6: But right now we're at the top and we're going
28:08
Speaker 6: to continue to be at the top. We're putting out
28:09
Speaker 6: content every day, my content AI. We're using AI because
28:15
Speaker 6: it's very funny. You like to use satire in comedy
28:17
Speaker 6: to drive a point home. And people are following our
28:22
Speaker 6: social media religiously now.
28:24
Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman is running for governor. He's the Republican.
28:27
Speaker 1: Everybody vote for him. You should vote for and you
28:29
Speaker 1: can donate to go to Blakemanfromnew York dot com. How much?
28:33
Speaker 1: What kind of factor is Mamdannie going to be? Can
28:35
Speaker 1: he help Hochel or hurt Hokeel?
28:38
Speaker 6: Well, apparently she thinks that Mandami is helping her because
28:43
Speaker 6: she's lockstep with him. I call her comrade Kathy. Now, look,
28:47
Speaker 6: Zammra Mandami. My biggest problem with him is he hates America.
28:52
Speaker 6: And now Kathy Hokeel has aligned herself with a hate
28:56
Speaker 6: America movement in her party. This isn't the Party of
29:00
Speaker 6: Mario Cuomo. This isn't the party of you, Carrie and
29:04
Speaker 6: Daniel Patrick moynihan, or even Bill Clinton for this matter.
29:08
Speaker 6: This is a party that's gone so far off the
29:10
Speaker 6: deep bend. They're anti Semitic, they're anti Christian, and they're
29:14
Speaker 6: anti American, and they're anti capitalists. So they need to
29:18
Speaker 6: be stopped. And Kathy Hochel is right in lockstep with
29:22
Speaker 6: everything that Zillman Mundami wants to do. We've got to
29:25
Speaker 6: stop him and we've got to stop her.
29:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's tough for a Republican in New York City.
29:31
Speaker 1: But how if you want to win as governor, how
29:33
Speaker 1: much of New York do you have to win New
29:35
Speaker 1: York City?
29:36
Speaker 6: Well, well, we're doing really well in New York City.
29:39
Speaker 6: So the rule of thumb is for a Republican, in
29:42
Speaker 6: order to be able to win, you got to get
29:44
Speaker 6: thirty two percent of the city vote. Our last polling,
29:48
Speaker 6: we were already up to thirty percent. Wow, So we
29:51
Speaker 6: keep improving on that. We went from twenty three percent
29:54
Speaker 6: to thirty percent. So my goal is to get over
29:57
Speaker 6: thirty six percent, and over thirty six percent of the
30:02
Speaker 6: vote in New York City will ensure that we win
30:06
Speaker 6: so we are campaigning very hard. Been in the Bronx, Manhattan,
30:10
Speaker 6: Queens Brooklyn, Staten Island. I've been in every neighborhood in
30:15
Speaker 6: the city and we're talking to middle class voters. People
30:19
Speaker 6: who are fed up with their taxes, people who are
30:21
Speaker 6: fed up with their electric bill, people who are fed
30:23
Speaker 6: up with crime. And we're getting a lot of Democrats.
30:26
Speaker 6: And it's from every demographic. It could be African Americans,
30:29
Speaker 6: Asian Americans, Hispanics, and Latinos. It doesn't matter what your
30:33
Speaker 6: background is. People are fed up with the direction of
30:37
Speaker 6: our state, which is in the death spiral. I'll be
30:40
Speaker 6: the pilot that'll pull it out, and I'm fully sure
30:44
Speaker 6: that people will elect me on November third because they
30:47
Speaker 6: want this change desperately. They want better jobs, they want
30:52
Speaker 6: economic activity. They want to be able to stay in
30:54
Speaker 6: New York and afford to stay in New York. And
30:56
Speaker 6: the way to do that is put more money in
30:58
Speaker 6: people's pockets.
31:00
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, and you should go to Blakemanfromnewyork dot Com.
31:03
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, this is stuff is very powerful against Kathy Ogle.
31:06
Speaker 1: But what about a debate? Has she agreed to any
31:09
Speaker 1: kind of debate?
31:10
Speaker 6: No, she's docking me. I don't think she wants to
31:13
Speaker 6: debate me. Look, she's got a record that's straight SS
31:18
Speaker 6: and when you compare that to my record of having
31:21
Speaker 6: the safest county in America, cutting taxes, people being happy,
31:26
Speaker 6: safe communities, she doesn't want to compare her record to mine,
31:30
Speaker 6: so she's docking me. I've had seven invitations extended to
31:34
Speaker 6: me to debate Kathy Hokel. I've accepted all seven of them.
31:38
Speaker 6: Kathy Hockel hasn't accepted one of them. So Kathy Hokeel,
31:43
Speaker 6: stop hiding. Come on out. If you think you've done
31:45
Speaker 6: a good job as governor, then try to defend your record.
31:48
Speaker 6: I'm very happy to debate you.
31:50
Speaker 1: But in October, she's going to have to debate. Right,
31:52
Speaker 1: There's never been an incombent governor refused to debate in
31:55
Speaker 1: the campaign, right.
31:58
Speaker 6: Not in my memory. But she doesn't have to. She
32:00
Speaker 6: didn't take matching funds, and a requirement if you take
32:04
Speaker 6: matching funds, as you have to debate. So it certainly
32:07
Speaker 6: raised our eyebrows when she said I'm not going to
32:09
Speaker 6: take matching funds, which means I ain't going to debate.
32:15
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's got a ton of money, because, as
32:16
Speaker 1: you say, she's been handing out contracts left and right
32:19
Speaker 1: in exchange for huge donations, and a lot of top
32:22
Speaker 1: business guys who love you and are going to vote
32:24
Speaker 1: for you, but they give to her, and they're afraid,
32:26
Speaker 1: some of them might be afraid to give to you.
32:27
Speaker 1: They don't want to offend her. She's the sitting governor.
32:29
Speaker 1: But that's crazy. So everybody else, help out, Go donate,
32:35
Speaker 1: Go to Blakemanfnewyork dot com, Blakemanfromnewyork dot com. And you
32:39
Speaker 1: are busy, right, You're running around the state. You're all
32:41
Speaker 1: over the place campaigning.
32:43
Speaker 6: So let me give you a snapshot of my last
32:47
Speaker 6: thirty six hours. Yesterday, I was on Fox News on
32:51
Speaker 6: Maria Bartiromo's show, and then I marched into Dominican Parade.
32:57
Speaker 6: Then I caught a plane up to Buffalo. Then from Buffalo,
33:01
Speaker 6: I drove to Saratoga. Now I'm driving downstate where I'm
33:07
Speaker 6: doing media, and I have a fundraiser tonight, and I've
33:11
Speaker 6: got meetings in my county office on county business. So
33:15
Speaker 6: that's a little bit about my thirty six hours in
33:19
Speaker 6: the last day. So we are working hard and I'm
33:23
Speaker 6: working from seven o'clock in the morning till eleven o'clock
33:25
Speaker 6: at night because I'm on a mission to save this
33:27
Speaker 6: state and to save our country and our city, and
33:31

Speaker 1: York dot com. Hey, noon today, it's Buck and Clay.
34:22
Speaker 1: They do a wonderful show every day twelve noon. Then
34:24
Speaker 1: you got three o'clock. You got the most listened to
34:27
Speaker 1: radio show in America. Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly, that's a
34:30
Speaker 1: nice show at six o'clock. And then Jimmy Fayla every
34:35
Speaker 1: night nine at midnight. Very funny. Now I'm here now
34:38
Speaker 1: three hours every day, three hours every day, nine to noon,
34:42
Speaker 1: and then from six to nine every day it's Curtis
34:45
Speaker 1: Leiwa and Larry Menti here on seven to ten WR
34:50
Speaker 1: nine am to noon. There's a guy suing a shake
34:54
Speaker 1: Shack because you know, when you're you're buying something just
34:59
Speaker 1: a you know, like Starbucks, you ask for a cup
35:01
Speaker 1: of coffee, they hand it to you, you're supposed to
35:03
Speaker 1: tip them. Are you going to any place Shakeshack? You order,
35:09
Speaker 1: here's your order, You're supposed to tip them. Why would
35:11
Speaker 1: you be tipping them? And in Shakeshack you now you
35:13
Speaker 1: order with a kiosk and you type in what you
35:16
Speaker 1: want and you hit the price, and then it asks
35:20
Speaker 1: you who want to tip? And apparently this guy is claiming,
35:23
Speaker 1: and he's got photo and screen grabs of it. If
35:27
Speaker 1: you hit no tip, all of a sudden, it says
35:29
Speaker 1: we have to update the price, and it increases the
35:31
Speaker 1: price because you didn't tip. I can't imagine that'd be
35:34
Speaker 1: an actual shakeshack policy. Maybe in that one place they
35:39
Speaker 1: figured out how to do that with the software. But
35:43
Speaker 1: we'll have to talk about this tomorrow. This whole idea
35:45
Speaker 1: that you got to tip anywhere and everywhere, The whole
35:48
Speaker 1: idea of the kiosk and ordering is you don't have
35:50
Speaker 1: to deal with anybody. So who are you tipping the
35:54
Speaker 1: person to put it in the bag. I think that's
35:56
Speaker 1: their job. And anyway, we'll get into this tomorrow. We're
35:59
Speaker 1: out of time, but hey, don't forget, it's nine am
36:01
Speaker 1: to noon, nine am to noon. It's now three hours
36:06
Speaker 1: every day. If you're a podcast listening, you get another
36:08
Speaker 1: hour of podcasting. I'll see you tomorrow at nine, seven ten.
