Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
0:06
Speaker 2: Well, hey, if you just joined us, you missed the
0:08
Speaker 2: first hour. Remember, it's 9 to noon every day. Three hours,
0:11
Speaker 2: 9 to noon every day. It's cold out. It's 56
0:15
Speaker 2: degrees out right now. It's cold out. Did you see
0:18
Speaker 2: President Trump greeting President Xi at the airport there? You
0:24
Speaker 2: notice he was wearing his overcoat? I don't mean a
0:27
Speaker 2: little thin raincoat. I mean a heavy... cashmere overcoat and
0:32
Speaker 2: the president had gloves on and that's in washington dc
0:35
Speaker 2: that's a far far south of here it's cold out
0:40
Speaker 2: uh today it's fall if you haven't been out yet
0:43
Speaker 2: uh you're going to need an overcoat today so we
0:46
Speaker 2: got a lot to talk about i just heard that
0:48
Speaker 2: on the news starbucks closing 400 locations it sounds like
0:52
Speaker 2: they're in real trouble oh my god they're closing four
0:55
Speaker 2: 100 locations. Well, it's not that bad, actually. They have 18,000.
0:59
Speaker 2: It's less than 1%. It's 18,000 stores. Now, we're going
1:07
Speaker 2: to open, while they're closing 300, they're opening 600, although
1:11
Speaker 2: they've changed that number now to 450. 450 will open.
1:16
Speaker 2: The reason they closed them, they're underperforming stores. And it's
1:20
Speaker 2: not really a reflection on Starbucks. It's a reflection on
1:23
Speaker 2: those communities that couldn't support the Starbucks. It costs a
1:26
Speaker 2: lot of money to close them down. They're going to
1:29
Speaker 2: spend about $ 300 million in restructuring charges. But again, 18,000
1:35
Speaker 2: Starbucks all over the place. You know, I saw this
1:37
Speaker 2: story in the news about poor Ed Sheeran. All the controversy.
1:42
Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran lost 500,000 Instagram followers over Macklemore. He lost 500,000.
1:50
Speaker 2: Sounds terrible, doesn't it? Well, wait a minute. His Instagram
1:55
Speaker 2: is 47.6 million. So now it's 47.2 million. It's not
2:02
Speaker 2: exactly a big loss. That's like a million to 1%.
2:07
Speaker 2: 47.6 million Instagram followers. All right, I'm trying to beat
2:12
Speaker 2: him on Instagram with followers. Go follow me right now
2:15
Speaker 2: at Instagram. MarkSimoneNYC at Instagram. If you're not following me
2:20
Speaker 2: on Instagram, go to my Instagram and click follow. Mark Simone, NYC,
2:26
Speaker 2: at Instagram. So they're in panic at CNN. They are
2:33
Speaker 2: really in panic. The merger has gone through. David Ellison
2:38
Speaker 2: and Paramount will take over Warner Brothers Discovery, which owns
2:42
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. It owns HBO. It's got CNN.
2:46
Speaker 2: It's got HBO Max. So they'll take control of CNN.
2:50
Speaker 2: So these left-wing kooks over there convinced themselves that everybody
2:56
Speaker 2: is a MAGA right-wing Republican. That's not the case with
2:59
Speaker 2: David Ellison. They did this with Barry Weiss, who's a Democrat,
3:02
Speaker 2: by the way, and comes from the New York Times.
3:05
Speaker 2: She's not a Republican, but they were all in panic.
3:08
Speaker 2: They're waiting for massive layoffs. Now, the reason they should
3:10
Speaker 2: be in panic is CNN is a ratings disaster. It's
3:15
Speaker 2: in last place in cable news. It has a tiny audience.
3:19
Speaker 2: Anybody buying a company looking at this would have to
3:22
Speaker 2: do something and turn this around and fix it up.
3:24
Speaker 2: You can't leave it the way it is. It's a
3:26
Speaker 2: ratings disaster. The guy that runs it, look at this guy.
3:30
Speaker 2: He said, well, I'd like to stay. You're in last place.
3:33
Speaker 2: You're a ratings disaster. Who the hell would want to
3:35
Speaker 2: keep you? But here's what's really got him panicked. Ellison
3:39
Speaker 2: is now talking about bringing in Elon Musk. Now, they
3:43
Speaker 2: made this deal, Paramount to buy Warner Brothers Discovery for
3:47
Speaker 2: $ 81 billion. $ 81 billion. 81 billion is what they paid
3:52
Speaker 2: for this. Now, if you're David Ellison, how did he
3:55
Speaker 2: get 81 billion? Well, he went to his father, Larry Ellison,
3:59
Speaker 2: one of the great tech billionaires, and Larry Ellison put
4:03
Speaker 2: up 40 billion of equity financing. 40 billion. So they're
4:08
Speaker 2: carrying a lot of debt here. They owe a lot
4:13
Speaker 2: of money on this. So they're talking to Elon Musk
4:16
Speaker 2: about bringing him in and selling him $ 40 billion of
4:21
Speaker 2: the company, or maybe $ 20 billion. But they want him
4:24
Speaker 2: to become a major investor and a major partner. Now,
4:27
Speaker 2: as you know, left-wing Democrats, the only thing they hate
4:31
Speaker 2: more than Donald Trump, or actually, Donald Trump would be
4:34
Speaker 2: number one, but the next on the list would be
4:36
Speaker 2: Elon Musk. They hate him. You remember, Twitter was totally
4:40
Speaker 2: left-wing biased. If you were a Trump person, even Trump himself,
4:45
Speaker 2: you were banned from Twitter. Literally banned. Talk about freedom
4:51
Speaker 2: of speech, First Amendment. If you were a Republican, MAGA, whatever,
4:55
Speaker 2: you were banned, literally banned. Imagine the President of the
4:58
Speaker 2: United States, they ban you from Twitter. Imagine the New
5:01
Speaker 2: York Post, you're like the biggest newspaper in America. You
5:04
Speaker 2: get banned from Twitter? It was that bad. So Musk
5:07
Speaker 2: bought it and put back neutrality into it. Anybody, you know,
5:12
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what side you're on, you're free to use Twitter.
5:16
Speaker 2: So they don't want that at CNN. That's the thing
5:18
Speaker 2: with Musk. He believes in You know, right down the middle, fairness,
5:22
Speaker 2: you know, present both sides. And they don't like that
5:24
Speaker 2: at CNN. So they are in absolute panic. They don't
5:30
Speaker 2: know what to do. They're just going crazy at CNN. Now,
5:35
Speaker 2: they're also mad at Gavin Newsom, who wants the support
5:40
Speaker 2: of them. But they're mad at Gavin Newsom because he
5:42
Speaker 2: backed this Paramount deal, this takeover. Now, there was a
5:47
Speaker 2: big settlement. You know, all the attorney generals got together
5:49
Speaker 2: and sued to block this merger. So Ellison and Paramount
5:53
Speaker 2: had to make all kinds of concessions. They agreed on
5:57
Speaker 2: all sorts of things, on how much they would spend
6:00
Speaker 2: to keep it going. Part of the deal was they
6:03
Speaker 2: had to agree to spend a massive figure making movies
6:07
Speaker 2: every year, make sure they were made in America. They
6:10
Speaker 2: guaranteed opening 30 of those movies in theaters to keep
6:13
Speaker 2: the theaters going. But in this agreement with these attorneys general,
6:19
Speaker 2: they didn't put anything in about layoffs. They're free to
6:22
Speaker 2: lay off anybody they want. They're free to cut the
6:25
Speaker 2: company down to whatever size they want. So if you
6:27
Speaker 2: thought your left-wing attorney generals were going to protect you,
6:31
Speaker 2: they did not in this agreement. So Benjamin Netanyahu today
6:36
Speaker 2: at the UN, it'll be a fiery speech. He will
6:39
Speaker 2: let everybody have it. Mamdani and the anti-Semites of the world,
6:43
Speaker 2: he will tell them. off and expose them. That's a
6:46
Speaker 2: good thing. He will stand up to the awful anti-Semitic UN.
6:51
Speaker 2: He'll go after Iran. So it'll be quite a speech.
6:55
Speaker 2: So far, the protesting is totally under control for Netanyahu.
6:59
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens when he speaks at the UN.
7:02
Speaker 2: And then he leaves after that. There's a couple of
7:05
Speaker 2: little gatherings, but then he'll leave. He'll be out of
7:07
Speaker 2: town by tonight, which is good because it's just, I mean,
7:11
Speaker 2: we love Netanyahu, but a security nightmare. having him here.
7:16
Speaker 2: You know that Palestinian protester, Rachel Dalzal, whatever her name is?
7:21
Speaker 2: She's this Palestinian protester who has been quite the activist,
7:27
Speaker 2: very anti-Israel. She's a black Palestinian woman, and she's been
7:34
Speaker 2: protesting about what happened to her in Gaza and protesting Israel.
7:42
Speaker 2: It turns out the whole thing's a lie. It turns
7:45
Speaker 2: out her real name is Hannah Gahn. It turns out
7:48
Speaker 2: she's from the suburbs of Philadelphia. It turns out she's
7:52
Speaker 2: not black. She's white. And it turns out she's not Palestinian.
7:55
Speaker 2: She's actually Jewish from the suburbs of Philadelphia. She's from
7:59
Speaker 2: a very upscale, posh suburb of Philadelphia. But this is
8:05
Speaker 2: a lot of who this anti-Semitic crowd is. They're wealthy
8:10
Speaker 2: kids who went to Ivy League schools, got totally brainwashed,
8:15
Speaker 2: got totally indoctrinated into this anti-Semitic left-wing kooky crap. But yeah,
8:24
Speaker 2: she's from a nice suburb of Philadelphia. Her parents later
8:28
Speaker 2: moved to Falls Church, Virginia, another posh suburb outside of D.C.
8:34
Speaker 2: So she just lied about everything. It's all totally fake. Hey,
8:38
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman doing very well in the real polls, the
8:42
Speaker 2: real ones, the behind-the-scenes real polls. He's pretty much tied
8:47
Speaker 2: with Hochul. You see all these attack ads against Blakeman.
8:50
Speaker 2: Hochul is spending a fortune on attack ads against Hochul.
8:55
Speaker 2: That's good. That's a good sign. That means she's in panic.
8:59
Speaker 2: So when I tell you that behind the scenes in
9:01
Speaker 2: the real polls, Blakeman is caught up, she has the
9:04
Speaker 2: real polls too. And that's why she's spending a fortune here.
9:08
Speaker 2: on these attack ads. Now, the problem is she's a
9:12
Speaker 2: little too old school running TV commercials on TV at night. Well,
9:18
Speaker 2: that's very few people. The battle is now won on
9:21
Speaker 2: social media. Blakeman is much better on social media than
9:24
Speaker 2: she is, much better. But he's all over her, going
9:28
Speaker 2: after her left and right.
9:29
Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul is a doormat for Zoran Mondami. He's running
9:34
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party now. He's calling the shots.
9:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's tying her to Mamdani.
9:39
Speaker 3: It's not a nine-point difference.
9:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fake polls, the public polls, the fake ones,
9:44
Speaker 2: deliberately rigged. But even they now have them within single digits.
9:49
Speaker 2: And it's not nine points. They're statistically tied right now.
9:52
Speaker 2: It's not a nine-point difference.
9:54
Speaker 3: The Siena poll is a biased poll.
9:57
Speaker 2: It's a Fugazi poll. I've said it over and over.
10:00
Speaker 3: And over again, and history has shown that. I mean,
10:03
Speaker 3: two weeks before the election, four years ago, they had
10:06
Speaker 3: Zeldin 11 points down. So they were five and a
10:09
Speaker 3: half points off. So this poll is completely bogus.
10:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, what they do in these public polls, they deliberately
10:16
Speaker 2: rig them. They put Republicans— At 23% of the sample
10:20
Speaker 2: instead of 38% where they should be. They don't use
10:23
Speaker 2: likely voters. They use whoever the hell they want. They
10:26
Speaker 2: call it adults. They pick who they want. They don't
10:30
Speaker 2: use the right demos. It's ridiculous. Blakeman is very strong.
10:33
Speaker 2: And this is the key to winning the race. Blakeman
10:35
Speaker 2: is very strong with independence.
10:37
Speaker 3: I have shown that I can be independent. Kathy Hochul
10:42
Speaker 3: is a doormat for Zoran Mondami. He's running the Democratic
10:45
Speaker 3: Party now. He's calling the shots.
10:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, she lives in fear of Mondami. If he turns
10:50
Speaker 2: on her, she can't win. She needs his support and
10:53
Speaker 2: his crazy voters. That's the only way she wins. Here's
10:56
Speaker 2: one of these crazy, this is a Hochul ad, I think.
10:58
Speaker 1: Puppets are my life. You tell them what to say,
11:01
Speaker 1: they say it. No questions. But that's not what you
11:04
Speaker 1: want in a governor. Bruce Blakeman is 100% MAGA and
11:09
Speaker 1: stands with Trump on everything.
11:12
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. She's spending a fortune on attack ads,
11:16
Speaker 2: attacking him for everything. But apparently this guy's as clean
11:20
Speaker 2: as a whistle and he's got a phenomenal track record.
11:22
Speaker 2: Because the only thing she found to attack him on
11:25
Speaker 2: is he's friends with Donald Trump. He likes Donald Trump.
11:28
Speaker 2: She can't find anything to attack him on. Nothing bad
11:32
Speaker 2: happened while he was county executive. In fact, he did
11:35
Speaker 2: a phenomenal job. There's nothing bad in his record. Nothing
11:38
Speaker 2: bad with him personally. That's all she can hit him with,
11:40
Speaker 2: that he's friends with Donald Trump. That's all she's got.
11:44
Speaker 2: That's pretty pathetic. But help out Bruce Blakeman. You can
11:49
Speaker 2: do it. You want to donate? You want to volunteer?
11:51
Speaker 2: Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. You know, it's funny speaking of donations.
11:58
Speaker 2: Blakeman's ex-wife, Nancy, is married to Paul McCartney. And they
12:06
Speaker 2: have a good relationship. Paul McCartney and Blakeman have a
12:09
Speaker 2: good relationship. It's kind of odd. Your ex-wife marries a Beatle.
12:14
Speaker 2: So his ex-wife, Nancy, just donated 18,000 to Kathy Hochul's campaign.
12:20
Speaker 2: But don't take it as any reflection on Bruce Bligman.
12:22
Speaker 2: I think she had to do that because she's married
12:25
Speaker 2: to Paul McCartney. And Paul McCartney is a big Democrat.
12:32
Speaker 2: He hates Trump. He's not a fan of any Republican.
12:38
Speaker 2: So that's just automatic that if you're married to Paul McCartney,
12:42
Speaker 2: you're going to be making You're going to be making
12:45
Speaker 2: Democratic donations. Now, McCartney, you know, and the money might
12:49
Speaker 2: be actually from McCartney. Well, why didn't he donate it?
12:52
Speaker 2: He can't. He's a British citizen. He's not a U.S. citizen.
12:56
Speaker 2: So he's barred from donating to campaigns. But again, he really,
13:01
Speaker 2: really is anti-Trump. So that explains that pretty fast. Netanyahu
13:07
Speaker 2: speaks today at the U.N. Alan Dershowitz will be there.
13:10
Speaker 2: He's Netanyahu's attorney. He'll be there today. And Dershowitz, he
13:16
Speaker 2: might be helping the Trump legal case against the press.
13:21
Speaker 2: This judge yesterday put in a restraining order. Trump banned
13:26
Speaker 2: some crazy left-wing networks, Politico and CNN and MSNOW from
13:32
Speaker 2: the White House. A judge has ruled against that ban.
13:35
Speaker 2: He's put a stay on the ban. He's put a
13:39
Speaker 2: stop to that ban for at least 14 days. What
13:42
Speaker 2: that means is the judge thinks the press may have
13:45
Speaker 2: a good case. So he's put the ban on hold
13:48
Speaker 2: for 14 days. And then they go back into court.
13:51
Speaker 2: But Dershowitz argues that Trump has every right under the
13:54
Speaker 2: First Amendment to ban outlets from the White House. And
13:57
Speaker 2: this has nothing to do with freedom of speech. They're
13:59
Speaker 2: free to speak all they want, these networks. Nobody's restricting
14:02
Speaker 2: their speech. They're just restricting physically what rooms they can
14:06
Speaker 2: go into. But it's not like when Trump was kicked
14:09
Speaker 2: off Twitter and all social media. That would be a
14:12
Speaker 2: First Amendment issue. They removed him from the platform so
14:16
Speaker 2: he couldn't speak. Trump is not shutting down Politico. He's
14:20
Speaker 2: not shutting down CNN or MSNOW. They're free to do
14:24
Speaker 2: whatever the hell they want. And since the ban was
14:26
Speaker 2: in effect, they're covering Trump the same exact amount 24-7.
14:30
Speaker 2: But Dershowitz, brilliant lawyer, he may be the one going
14:35
Speaker 2: into court arguing this. Hey, Rosie O'Donnell? You remember she
14:40
Speaker 2: filled in for Jimmy Kimmel? on ABC, Kimmel taking the
14:45
Speaker 2: whole summer off. She filled in for him. And, of course,
14:49
Speaker 2: she went after Trump every night. But there was one
14:51
Speaker 2: skit she said ABC forced her to drop it. She
14:55
Speaker 2: said she was going to do, she's on a podcast,
14:58
Speaker 2: she was going to do a takeoff on the song
15:01
Speaker 2: Danny Boy, but go after Trump. It was going to
15:04
Speaker 2: be called Donny Boy, and it was some kind of anti-Trump.
15:07
Speaker 2: She says the network killed it. The network said, we
15:09
Speaker 2: don't want you to do that. She thinks it was
15:11
Speaker 2: because there's a lawsuit between Trump and ABC going on.
15:15
Speaker 2: But the key to this is she's on a podcast
15:19
Speaker 2: going after ABC, attacking them. So what we really learned
15:24
Speaker 2: from this is she filled in for a few days
15:28
Speaker 2: for Kimmel on ABC. She thinks it went great. She
15:33
Speaker 2: thinks she was a big hit. But obviously, if she's
15:36
Speaker 2: now attacking them, ABC and her agents, whoever, Apparently, ABC
15:42
Speaker 2: said to them, yeah, thanks for filling in. We don't
15:44
Speaker 2: need you anymore. Not interested. If it was really good,
15:49
Speaker 2: they would have started talking to her about a show,
15:51
Speaker 2: about doing something. Let's work together. Apparently, they didn't like
15:55
Speaker 2: what she did. They didn't like her. Apparently, the ratings
15:58
Speaker 2: stunk because they're not interested in anything else with Rosie O'Donnell.
16:02
Speaker 2: You can be sure that's the case if she's suddenly
16:04
Speaker 2: going public attacking ABC. And what the hell is she
16:07
Speaker 2: doing here? I thought she left the country. You promised
16:12
Speaker 2: you were leaving the country. All of a sudden, she's
16:14
Speaker 2: all over the place again. Anyway, the phones are fixed.
16:19
Speaker 2: Remember yesterday we had no phones? The phones are fixed.
16:22
Speaker 2: We can take some calls. We'll do that next. 800-321-0710
16:24
Speaker 2: is the number.
16:25
Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.
16:31
Speaker 2: Well, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
16:34
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, the judge ruled the president cannot ban
16:36
Speaker 1: those networks from the White House. The local left-wing D.C.
16:39
Speaker 4: Judge ruled he cannot.
16:40
Speaker 2: Ban them from the White House. So it turns out,
17:00
Speaker 2: look at this. This morning, he banned them from the
17:02
Speaker 2: White House. That's interesting. Well, what's the judge going to
17:06
Speaker 2: do about it? We'll see. This will get interesting. Let's
17:09
Speaker 2: take some calls. Let's go to Stephen from Glendale. Stephen,
17:13
Speaker 2: how are you doing?
17:15
Speaker 5: Okay, sir. I'm a first-time caller, but I've always been
17:20
Speaker 5: listening to you or Rush Lombard. Very good. But the
17:25
Speaker 5: thing is.
17:29
Speaker 5: The reason why they're not closing the manhole covers is
17:34
Speaker 5: because they're looking for a hit. And all these people
17:39
Speaker 5: that are going into the manhole covers, they catch them,
17:43
Speaker 5: they let them go. Well, what's the worst that can
17:46
Speaker 5: happen to them?
17:47
Speaker 2: I love how you make up these explanations. You just
17:49
Speaker 2: make up this. This is why they're doing it. That's it.
17:52
Speaker 2: All right. It's official. It's come from Stephen. That's the reason.
17:57
Speaker 2: All right, Stephen. Thanks for calling. What he's talking about,
18:01
Speaker 2: the lowest level of criminals, they open up a manhole cover.
18:06
Speaker 2: Those things on the street. First of all, I don't
18:08
Speaker 2: even know how strong you have to be to open
18:09
Speaker 2: those manhole covers. But they open them up, and three
18:13
Speaker 2: or four of them go down there, and they go
18:16
Speaker 2: through the sewers. And what they're doing is they're looking
18:18
Speaker 2: for stuff down there because, believe it or not, things
18:22
Speaker 2: fall through those sewer grates, and they're down there. they
18:24
Speaker 2: find bracelets, they find rings, they found iPhones. I mean,
18:28
Speaker 2: you got to hunt through a lot of, uh, crap
18:33
Speaker 2: to find this stuff, but that's what they do. And
18:36
Speaker 2: they're down there going for blocks and blocks in the sewers,
18:39
Speaker 2: picking up stuff. And they come up with these bags
18:42
Speaker 2: filled with this stuff. And you obviously got to wash
18:46
Speaker 2: it a million times. And I guess they resell this
18:48
Speaker 2: stuff or hawk it. But, uh, the police don't seem
18:53
Speaker 2: to be doing much about it. Now, there are some
18:55
Speaker 2: people saying, because yesterday they were caught going down a
18:58
Speaker 2: manhole cover right next to Netanyahu's hotel, the Regency. And
19:05
Speaker 2: there are some people in law enforcement saying, you know what,
19:08
Speaker 2: they should grab these guys as they come out of
19:09
Speaker 2: the manhole cover and have the anti-terrorism task force interrogate them.
19:14
Speaker 2: I mean, they're just low-level criminals working for gangs, but
19:18
Speaker 2: somebody should look at that aspect of it before they
19:20
Speaker 2: just let them go next time Let's go to Don
19:23
Speaker 2: in Long Island. Don, how are you doing?
19:26
Speaker 4: Hey, how are you doing, Mark? Great. I was wondering,
19:29
Speaker 4: have you heard those weird stories about.
19:30
Speaker 5: The Carnegie Deli, about the five people that got shot
19:33
Speaker 5: above the Carnegie?
19:37
Speaker 2: I think there was one shooting once, and it has
19:40
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the Carnegie Deli whatsoever.
19:42
Speaker 4: I know they had nothing to do with it.
19:44
Speaker 2: The Carnegie used to be in a building that had
19:47
Speaker 2: apartments on some of the floors, and there was something
19:49
Speaker 2: going on. in one of the apartments.
19:51
Speaker 5: Five people got shot.
19:54
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but I don't think it was five people.
19:56
Speaker 2: I think it was one. But it was something.
19:59
Speaker 5: Look online. Another story.
20:02
Speaker 2: Okay, but it has nothing to do with the Carnegie Deli.
20:03
Speaker 2: No connection to the Carnegie in any way.
20:05
Speaker 5: Did you know the co-owner, Sandy Levine?
20:07
Speaker 4: Of course.
20:08
Speaker 2: Well, Sandy Levine came later. The real owners were Milton
20:12
Speaker 2: Parker and Leo Steiner, of course, legendary Leo Steiner. Milton
20:16
Speaker 2: Parker was the owner. And then the daughter of Milton
20:19
Speaker 2: Parker at one point married this guy, Sandy Levine. So
20:23
Speaker 2: he wasn't really a co-owner. He just married the daughter.
20:25
Speaker 2: And he was a terrible guy.
20:27
Speaker 4: Did you hear the story?
20:28
Speaker 2: Terrible guy. He's dead now. And she'll be the first
20:32
Speaker 2: to tell you he was a terrible guy. He was
20:33
Speaker 2: going out with the waitress there. He was going out
20:35
Speaker 2: with the waitress. He was giving away the recipes. He
20:37
Speaker 2: was a terrible guy.
20:38
Speaker 6: Exactly, yeah.
20:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, awful guy. He's dead now.
20:41
Speaker 4: I figured you'd know that. You're Mr. New York after all.
20:44
Speaker 5: Did you get a sandwich named after you there?
20:46
Speaker 2: I used to have one named after me. The new version,
20:48
Speaker 2: in the old days, they had sandwiches named after people.
20:52
Speaker 2: They don't really do that now. I think there's only one,
20:54
Speaker 2: the Broadway Daniel Rose. But somewhere in my picture's on
20:57
Speaker 2: the wall. You've got to go through 8,000 pictures.
21:00
Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha.
21:01
Speaker 5: I've got to check it out. I haven't been there
21:03
Speaker 5: in years.
21:04
Speaker 2: Well, it's open to the public. You can just walk
21:06
Speaker 2: in anytime.
21:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I'm going to hit it.
21:10
Speaker 2: I've got to check it out.
21:11
Speaker 6: Go in there.
21:12
Speaker 2: It's open. Go take a look. Try the cheesecake. It
21:16
Speaker 2: is phenomenal. And, of course, the legendary pastrami on rye.
21:21
Speaker 2: It's reopened now. Marion Harper, daughter of Milton Parker, her
21:26
Speaker 2: daughter is Sari Harper. She's now running the place. It's phenomenal.
21:31
Speaker 2: The only thing missing, in fact, this is a new location.
21:34
Speaker 2: It's a block away. It's where the stage jelly was.
21:36
Speaker 2: It's got windows. It's bright and light. It's really, it's
21:39
Speaker 2: actually a better location. The only problem is they don't
21:43
Speaker 2: have the old grumpy old waiters. You know, those big
21:47
Speaker 2: heavy old waiters. They're all named Herb. And they go,
21:49
Speaker 2: what do you want? What do you want? Whatever you'd order.
21:51
Speaker 2: You'd order 6,000 things.
21:52
Speaker 4: What else?
21:53
Speaker 2: What else? Now they're all young with nice personalities. So
21:58
Speaker 2: that part is missing, but. Hey, when we come back,
22:00
Speaker 2: the hunt for Steve Moore. We'll see if we can
22:03
Speaker 2: find Steve Moore. I think he'll be with us next
22:05
Speaker 2: on 710WOR. Let's get the latest news. Here's Daria Alden.
22:10
Speaker 1: I'm not letting you off the hook that easy. What
22:12
Speaker 1: was on that sandwich?
22:13
Speaker 2: Pastrami on rye.
22:14
Speaker 1: That was named after you?
22:16
Speaker 2: Oh, the one named after me?
22:17
Speaker 1: I was going to say, that's every sandwich there.
22:19
Speaker 2: I've got to be honest. I don't remember. You know,
22:21
Speaker 2: every time they name a sandwich after you, it's never
22:23
Speaker 2: anything you'd actually eat.
22:26
Speaker 1: I was going to say I would order it. I'd
22:27
Speaker 1: ask for it next time I go there.
22:29
Speaker 2: I was in a restaurant in Garden City once. They
22:30
Speaker 2: had the Nelson DeMille sandwich. It was the worst thing.
22:33
Speaker 2: I called him up. I said, do you actually eat this?
22:35
Speaker 2: He goes, what? That's what they named it.
22:37
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
22:43
Speaker 2: Well, Steve Moore, the brilliant economist, bestselling author.
22:48
Speaker 4: What?
22:52
Speaker 2: Nobody told me that. Forget what I just said. Take two. Hey,
22:57
Speaker 2: with us right now, the brilliant comedian, Jimmy Fela, of course,
23:02
Speaker 2: who is on WOR every night at 9 o'clock, 9 p.m.
23:08
Speaker 2: to midnight. Jimmy Fela. You got to listen to him.
23:11
Speaker 2: It's a great show. And then he does the best
23:13
Speaker 2: late-night show in television. That's Saturday nights at 10 o'clock
23:18
Speaker 2: on the Fox News Channel. And, hey, also, he's going
23:21
Speaker 2: to be appearing. He's doing a great night of comedy,
23:24
Speaker 2: Kuchina Kalandra. in Fairfield, New Jersey, October 28th. But get
23:30
Speaker 2: the tickets now because it can sell out fast. Go
23:32
Speaker 2: to 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Jimmy Fela, how you doing?
23:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, man?
23:40
Speaker 6: Definitely not a brilliant economist. So thanks for cleaning up
23:44
Speaker 6: that intro.
23:45
Speaker 2: Well, I was told you guys were going to switch
23:47
Speaker 2: time periods at some point. I didn't know it was
23:49
Speaker 2: this week.
23:50
Speaker 5: Yes, but.
23:52
Speaker 6: I don't know that Steve Moore took my route to prosperity.
23:55
Speaker 6: I invested most of my money in blackjack and flash dancers. And,
24:00
Speaker 6: of course, the rest of it I wasted.
24:02
Speaker 2: Well, you never know about that Steve Moore. He may
24:05
Speaker 2: have put some money in there, too. You never know.
24:10
Speaker 4: It's too funny.
24:11
Speaker 6: Nothing like an investment strategy that pays in singles.
24:14
Speaker 4: But anyway.
24:16
Speaker 2: So, hey, explain this U.N.
24:18
Speaker 4: Week.
24:18
Speaker 2: What is the purpose of this? What the hell do
24:20
Speaker 2: they do with that U.N.
24:22
Speaker 4: Holy hell.
24:24
Speaker 6: You know, it's so funny because I watched, you know, Millay,
24:28
Speaker 6: you know, kind of read them their truth yesterday the
24:30
Speaker 6: way Trump did.
24:32
Speaker 4: They basically just.
24:33
Speaker 6: Come here and shake us down and shag high-priced call girls.
24:37
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly.
24:39
Speaker 6: I'm trying to dress it up, but I mean, as
24:41
Speaker 6: a former cab driver myself, this is the Super Bowl
24:44
Speaker 6: of cab driving because the only passengers you're picking up
24:48
Speaker 6: are women you actually have a shot with, if the
24:51
Speaker 6: money's right. You normally, as a cab driver, don't have
24:55
Speaker 6: a shot with any woman who looks like the ones
24:57
Speaker 6: during UN week.
24:58
Speaker 4: But during UN week, you're both on the clock. So everybody,
25:03
Speaker 4: a dollar and a dream, as the old lottery commercial goes.
25:06
Speaker 4: And that's it.
25:08
Speaker 2: If you're a cab driver, you can't get anywhere. It's
25:10
Speaker 2: a traffic nightmare. It's the worst gridlock ever.
25:12
Speaker 4: A nightmare. Most veteran cabbies actually don't work this week.
25:17
Speaker 6: If you notice, a lot of younger guys who haven't
25:20
Speaker 6: gotten that little baptism by fire, if you will, you
25:22
Speaker 6: figure it out. Everybody works the UN week once. Nobody
25:25
Speaker 6: I know works it twice. Again, except the escorts. But
25:30
Speaker 6: the point is, all of these UN coalitions... that were
25:34
Speaker 6: all formed in a post-World War II world where we
25:37
Speaker 6: were helping rebuild everybody and we were picking up the
25:40
Speaker 6: tab for everything going on in Europe, have kind of
25:43
Speaker 6: just run their course now. And the only real value
25:46
Speaker 6: in UN week for Americans is to watch Trump show up,
25:50
Speaker 6: do his little, you know, Don Rickles act, and they
25:53
Speaker 6: just sit there like a cat getting a bath.
25:56
Speaker 5: It's my favorite thing in the world.
25:57
Speaker 6: You know, you just watch these people shrivel up and
26:00
Speaker 6: their posture is terrible and they're all scowling.
26:03
Speaker 4: That's UN week.
26:04
Speaker 6: It peaked for me with the Trump speech and I
26:06
Speaker 6: stopped watching after that.
26:10
Speaker 2: Explain the Donald Trump personality. He's a great businessman and leader,
26:14
Speaker 2: but he's also, you're right, he's Don Rickles. He's Howard Stern.
26:18
Speaker 2: He doesn't care where he is or how formal it is.
26:21
Speaker 2: He'll make jokes, tell you off as a comedian. How
26:24
Speaker 2: do you think he does at doing that?
26:27
Speaker 4: Well, this is where he's good, okay?
26:29
Speaker 6: As a comic, you're really not supposed.
26:31
Speaker 4: To read the room. You're supposed to lead the room.
26:33
Speaker 4: You're the guy in charge. I say that all the time.
26:36
Speaker 6: Now, as president, you're not quite a comic, so in theory,
26:40
Speaker 6: you might want to read the room, but Trump doesn't.
26:42
Speaker 6: I mean, don't ever forget, he told a Pearl Harbor
26:45
Speaker 6: joke in front of the prime minister of Japan.
26:47
Speaker 4: That is the funniest thing in the world.
26:50
Speaker 6: That is not a guy who is mindful of his
26:53
Speaker 6: surroundings when he starts telling jokes, so.
26:55
Speaker 4: I love it.
26:56
Speaker 6: You know, I don't know that everybody loves it on
26:58
Speaker 6: the world stage, but it's great entertainment for us.
27:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Jimmy Fallon, explain that again, because there's people listening.
27:04
Speaker 2: Maybe they got to make a speech now and then.
27:06
Speaker 2: So don't read the room, lead the room. How do
27:08
Speaker 2: you do that?
27:10
Speaker 1: Yes.
27:10
Speaker 6: Well, if you're a speaker, OK, whether you're a comic,
27:12
Speaker 6: whether you're given a speech, you know, some type of
27:15
Speaker 6: an event, banquet, whatever the case may be, you are
27:18
Speaker 6: in theory the only guy with a microphone. So what
27:21
Speaker 6: you need to demonstrate more than anything is that you're
27:24
Speaker 6: in charge and you have a plan for where to go.
27:27
Speaker 6: You know, if you think of it like an airline pilot,
27:29
Speaker 6: a pilot doesn't come on the PA and say, if
27:32
Speaker 6: it's okay with you people, we're going to take off
27:34
Speaker 6: third and climb up to 37,000 feet. He just says,
27:38
Speaker 6: you know, this is captain so-and-so.
27:40
Speaker 4: We're fifth in line. We're taking off.
27:43
Speaker 6: Don't forget to get the Delta card. You'll get 10
27:45
Speaker 6: points off your next purchase.
27:47
Speaker 5: And that's that.
27:48
Speaker 4: He leads the room. He does not read the room.
27:50
Speaker 4: He leads the room.
27:50
Speaker 6: Certain jobs are leadership gigs. So if you're a comic,
27:54
Speaker 6: that's absolutely the thing. When you go on stage, you
27:57
Speaker 6: really have to be in charge.
27:58
Speaker 4: First and foremost. Like if you watch my Saturday.
28:00
Speaker 6: Night show, like I am absolutely driving that bus because
28:04
Speaker 6: the minute they see that you're kind of deferring to them,
28:07
Speaker 6: when they see kind of like not necessarily fear but
28:10
Speaker 6: uncertainty on a comic's face, If you look uncomfortable, they
28:13
Speaker 6: get uncomfortable. So the next thing you know, you're telling
28:16
Speaker 6: a joke.
28:17
Speaker 4: That might not otherwise land.
28:19
Speaker 6: And instead of just missing, now you've got a flat-out
28:22
Speaker 6: mutiny in the showroom, you know?
28:24
Speaker 4: So you've got to be in charge. Wow.
28:26
Speaker 2: So that's interesting stuff.
28:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
28:29
Speaker 2: So UN Week is leaving. Netanyahu's going to speak today.
28:33
Speaker 2: That's going to be great entertainment. He's going to tell
28:36
Speaker 2: everybody off, isn't he?
28:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's my favorite. And I'm sure, you know, Mom
28:40
Speaker 6: Donnie will send in the cop from the village people
28:43
Speaker 6: to try to arrest him or something. I mean, no
28:46
Speaker 6: real cops coming after this guy. That whole stupid criminal
28:49
Speaker 6: court thing is a farce. But I love the Mamdani thing,
28:53
Speaker 6: you know, just the same, because he can't resist the
28:57
Speaker 6: bug light of attention. You know, we said this when
28:59
Speaker 6: he was running. He's a TikTok guy. So there'll be
29:03
Speaker 6: a lot of grandstanding around this Netanyahu thing. But the
29:06
Speaker 6: reality is the Netanyahu side, the pro-Israel side.
29:10
Speaker 4: Is winning.
29:11
Speaker 6: You know, Trump's getting, you know, unveiling this new Gaza deal.
29:14
Speaker 6: Macklemore has been kicked off the.
29:15
Speaker 4: Ed Sheeran tour.
29:17
Speaker 6: OK, with the exception of a couple of blue haired
29:19
Speaker 6: crazy people camping up in Colombia. OK, the right side
29:23
Speaker 6: of this thing is winning. So I'll enjoy today for
29:25
Speaker 6: that reason, too.
29:27
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, President Trump, he had a great life
29:29
Speaker 2: here in New York. Parties, fun, celebrities. I look at
29:33
Speaker 2: him now. He's spending the whole day with President Xi
29:35
Speaker 2: of China. You've seen this guy. Do you want to
29:38
Speaker 2: spend the whole day with President Xi of China? What
29:40
Speaker 2: was he thinking?
29:42
Speaker 6: No.
29:43
Speaker 4: No, I don't.
29:44
Speaker 6: But I'd probably be nice to him because China probably
29:46
Speaker 6: has my whole search history.
29:50
Speaker 2: Outside of that, what would you talk to the guy about?
29:54
Speaker 2: Even for an hour. Yeah.
29:57
Speaker 6: Well, listen, I mean, if you were going to be frank,
30:00
Speaker 6: there's probably a lot of.
30:01
Speaker 4: Asian women in my search history. So we have a
30:04
Speaker 4: starting point, Mark. I don't know if that's what you
30:07
Speaker 4: were looking for, but here we are.
30:12
Speaker 2: Hey, you're going to be doing this great show, Night
30:14
Speaker 2: of Comedy at Kuchina Calandra, Fairfield, New Jersey, October 28th.
30:20
Speaker 2: Still tickets left, right? You can still get tickets.
30:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was told. Not completely sold out yet. It's
30:25
Speaker 4: on its way.
30:25
Speaker 6: And you can come eat spaghetti and meatballs with Jimmy Fallon.
30:29
Speaker 4: That's exciting.
30:29
Speaker 2: No, it is. Actually, if you want tickets, go to

30:44
Speaker 2: What are you going to be doing on tonight's show?
30:47
Speaker 4: Oh, it's Thursday. So there's a lot of this crazy U.N.
30:51
Speaker 4: reaction stuff.
30:52
Speaker 6: Brian Bremberg's coming on because he interviewed Melania Trump yesterday.
30:56
Speaker 6: And I want to get his take because I've met
30:59
Speaker 6: Melania Trump when she was here to do Fox and Friends.
31:01
Speaker 6: And I always tell people she's the nicest woman in
31:03
Speaker 6: the world. Like she even helped me up after the
31:05
Speaker 6: Secret Service tased me. And she didn't have to do that. So,
31:10
Speaker 6: you know, I'm going to show the same professionalism she
31:12
Speaker 6: did and talk to Bremberg all about her tonight.
31:14
Speaker 2: Oh, she's great. And then make sure you watch his— he
31:17
Speaker 2: does the best late-night show on television. It's every Saturday night,
31:20
Speaker 2: 10 o'clock, with the single best monologue in television. And
31:26
Speaker 2: people can get tickets to that, right? It's free?
31:28
Speaker 4: Yeah. If you want free tickets, foxacrossamerica.com. We tape it

31:40
Speaker 4: And— Yeah, George Santos is coming by to.
31:43
Speaker 6: Promote his OnlyFans or whatever the heck he does.
31:47
Speaker 2: I like George Santos.
31:48
Speaker 6: He's cute.
31:49
Speaker 2: He's a fun guy.
31:49
Speaker 4: He is a good guy.
31:52
Speaker 6: And for all of the ridiculousness he's been associated with,
31:56
Speaker 6: he's a great TV guest. So I'm really looking forward
31:58
Speaker 6: to interviewing him. We're going to play a game called
32:00
Speaker 6: You or False, where I ask him of rumors I've
32:03
Speaker 6: heard about him, and he tells me if they're real
32:05
Speaker 6: or not.
32:05
Speaker 4: Oh, okay. So it should be good.
32:07
Speaker 2: Hey, if you're listening, you could be in the studio audience.
32:09
Speaker 2: You get to meet all these people. They tape Friday evening.
32:12

32:32
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us.
32:34
Speaker 4: You're the best, Mark.
32:35
Speaker 2: Take care. So, yeah, so I guess, is this the deal?
32:39
Speaker 2: He'll be with us at 1040 every Thursday? Well, let
32:42
Speaker 2: me just get this straight now. We got Steve Moore
