  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Hang on, it's just breaking.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: There are two ex-FBI officials. They're the ones accused of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: covering up the Hunter Biden laptop. Former senior bureau officials
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Nikki Flores and Bradley Benavides.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: They've been indicted and they're being charged for lying to Congress.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You know, the Hunter laptop was covered up. You got
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: all these sleazy, dirty swamp characters in the CIA and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the FBI. And they were all busy trying to cover
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: up that Hunter Biden laptop. You remember Clapper and Brennan,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: all those dirty, sleazy guys. Well, Here's two ex-FBI officials.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: They have been charged for lying to Congress, and that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: means there's more coming. Usually start down low, indict those guys,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and then get them to turn on the people above them.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So this is pretty interesting. They wouldn't have indicted them,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: this task force that was looking at all this corruption
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in the FBI. They wouldn't indict them if they didn't
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: have the evidence. So They're indicted right now, charged with
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: lying to Congress. Probably more charges coming, more people, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it was a terrible, terrible cover-up. The Hunter Biden laptop,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that. Hey, in Europe, a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: bunch of the major websites in Europe went dark. There
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was a problem with hacking. They were trying to protect
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the systems from hackers, and the hacking was so sophisticated
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and complicated the only thing they could do is shut
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: these major websites down not to get too technical here
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: but there's a vulnerability the PHP 2 shell whatever the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: hell that is and there was a way to hack
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: into that but 70% of the websites using those websites Germany, France, Belgium, Finland,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Netherlands they took their government websites offline they shut it
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: all down To prevent the hacking was pretty serious stuff.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And now we're getting word this morning that in New Jersey,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: major health lab had to announce that there was hacking.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They got hacked. All your personal data may have been
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: retrieved by the hackers. And now it turns out it's Quest.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You all know Quest when you get a blood test.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Doctor gives you a blood test. It's sent out to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the lab. And it's always, it's Quest or there's another
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: one called LabCorp. But most of the time, it's Quest.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You get the blood test. I just got a blood test.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Came back fine, tested negative on everything. But the problem
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is when you get the blood test, the insurance usually
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: pays it. You pay for the blood test. And then
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a month later, you get a bill from Quest or
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: LabCorp for $ 9.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: 32.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell this is, but I'll
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: just pay it. And then two months later, you get
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a bill from Quest or LabCorp, $ 11. 16. Why didn't you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: just bill me everything the first time? You could call
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: them up, but you know you're going to be on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hold talking to a recording for seven hours, so you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: just pay it. And then a couple months later, you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: get another bill from Quest or LabCorp for $ 4.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: 03.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell this is with these
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: These laboratories and these blood tests. But I have a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: feeling that's their main business. Just sending you extra bills. $ 3, $ 8, $ 12.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But you do that a million times, you make a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: lot of money. It's a great business for them. Let
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: me check the price of oil. It was spiking up
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: this morning. Yeah, it's still up. It's over $ 100 now.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's $ 102 a barrel. Big spike. It was down to $ 97.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Big spike overnight. Now, the reason for that, the Houthis
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: are on the attack. They've been hitting Saudi Arabia. They
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: hit the airport. They hit a couple other things. But
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the rumor is, the word is, and even the Saudis
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: are making noise that they're about to hit the Saudi
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: oil facilities. And if they do that, that would affect
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the price of oil. So that's why the traders have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: spiked up the price of oil. It's $ 102 a barrel.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You know, you keep hearing about the Republicans are going
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to lose, Trump is going to lose, they're going to lose,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the price of oil, the price of gas, the price
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of oil. It's not good, but it's not the issue
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that the fake news is pretending it is. Not everybody
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in the world, and nobody's happy about oil going up,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but not everybody in the world is voting on one issue. Obviously,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: if you're a trucker or something, it's a big effect
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on your business. If you're just an average driver, it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: an annoyance. It's not You're not necessarily going to change
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: your vote over the price of gas at the pumps
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for a normal voter. Just because gasoline went up at
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the pump doesn't mean you're suddenly for men and women's sports, transgender,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: surgery for children, open borders. You're not going to vote
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: for that just because the price of gas went up.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So it's not the big factor. They make it out
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to be. Hey, the good news, there's this El Nino story.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: affecting the weather all over the world. It's going to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: be with us all winter, this El Nino system. It's bad.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It's bad for a lot of places. The good news
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for the Northeast, it's not going to affect us except
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: because of the El Nino, it will raise the temperature
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: all winter. That means here in the Northeast, here in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: New York and the whole tri-state area, probably no snow
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: all winter. Now, when you're in In El Nino, you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: do get a lot of precipitation, so there could be
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of rain days, but there will be no
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: snow or very, very little snow this winter. We had
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this El Nino thing a few years ago. Remember there
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: were a couple of winters where it never snowed once?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That was an El Nino winter. So we got one
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of those coming up. That's the good news. President Trump,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: he's going to Florida this afternoon. He'll do a big
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: rally in Fort Myers. Then he'll go to Palm Beach,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: sleep at Mar-a-Lago. Then tomorrow he'll go to Georgia for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a big rally, sleep in Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago. And then
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he'll go to Michigan on Sunday for a big rally.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the schedule for the whole week.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It's one state after another, just nonstop crisscrossing the United States. Hey,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that Brad Lander, he's running for whatever the hell he is,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: control or the most annoying left-wing kook, liberal, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He's Jewish, but you can still be anti-Semitic and be Jewish.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: He's just an angry anti-Semite, left-wing, annoying guy. Goes over
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to Israel trying to get himself arrested. Puts out all
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: kinds of statements, pictures. He was detained. Israel detained him. Detained, detained, detained.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: For about two minutes, he and his group went into
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a military zone. Israeli defense forces surrounded them, demanded to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: see identification, see who they were, and then let him go.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: In 12 seconds, he was detained. But, ooh, he's cashing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in on this.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: What I'm angry about as an American Jew and a
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: human being is the violence that is being done to
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Palestinians in an effort to push them off their land
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: and out of their homes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: That's what he's angry about as a Jew.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: What I'm angry about as an American Jew and a
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: human being.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: As a human being. He's angry.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: He's angry.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: You can hear how angry he is. Well, first of all,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: would you? You know, there's a new documentary. It's got
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the actual footage of the Hamas terrorists committing genocide on
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Israel that October 7th, where they literally sliced the throats
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of babies, where they raped women, where they just slaughtered
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and tortured. He's not angry about that. That didn't bother him.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: But Israel responds, he's angry. But he just goes on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and on and on.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: This is part of an effort to ethically cleanse them
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: from their land by making it impossible to harvest their
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: fields or drive on their roads or in their homes.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: This is your typical morning, Joe, trying to cleanse the land.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Israel just wants peace. Stop committing holocausts against them. That's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: all they're asking for. So, hey, this is a fascinating story.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You know, these driverless cars. A lot of people just
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: don't trust it. The driverless car. You're sitting in the car.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: The car is driving itself. So a lot of people
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: don't trust it. And then everybody else will tell you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's perfectly safe. It's safer than a human driver. This
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: happens now and then. This week, a Tesla on a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: highway going 70 miles an hour, which is fine. Speed
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: limit was probably 65, 70. A Tesla is on the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: highway driving. It hit and killed a 71-year-old pedestrian. Now,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the 71-year-old pedestrian, for some reason, was trying to walk
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: across the highway, which is a little crazy. But the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: victim was crossing Interstate 80. This is in California. The
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Tesla hit him.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: The driver was 26 years old. He was in the car.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: The car stopped and everything. By the way, it caused
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of other collisions. But every other driver took off.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: The Tesla stayed. And the driver, who's 26, explained to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the cops it's a driverless car. He had nothing to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: do with driving it. The Tesla has video. It records everything.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It was horrifying footage of hitting the older guy, killing him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But the guy did walk directly into the Tesla's path.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: The video showed the Tesla's brakes being applied, but the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: vehicle wasn't able to stop in time. And it did
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: steer to the left, trying to avoid the pedestrian. Despite
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the evasive action, the right front portion of the Tesla
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: struck the individual hard. and then caused the man to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be struck by another vehicle while lying in the street.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So it looks like the Tesla knocked him down. He
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: was on the ground hurt, couldn't get up, and the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: other cars hit him. Now, the other cars took off.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Tesla's full system driving or whatever can steer, change lanes,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: navigate roads, but it's not fully autonomous. In a situation
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: like that, they say the driver should remain alert, be
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: ready to take control, but When you see it happening,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: by then it might be too late to do anything. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: under California law, drivers remain responsible even for an automatic
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: vehicle safely operating. Even when the automated driving is in,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you're responsible legally. So I don't know what that's going
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to mean for this driver. But it's still a little dangerous, obviously,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: these automatic driving cars. So Pete Hegseth is the Secretary
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of Defense. And he's kind of a, the way he
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: dresses is kind of weird. You know, he's got like
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: an American flag tie and he's got this American flag
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: pocket square. It looks a little cheesy. So I don't
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: know if he has the best taste in the world.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: But Secretary of Defense, and he wants, if you look
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: at the old pictures of General Eisenhower, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, commanded the Normandy invasion, World War II. General
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Eisenhower had a globe. And back in those days in
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the 50s, they had these big globes. They were huge.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: They were like enormous. They were like the size of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a refrigerator and they were on a big, beautiful wooden stand.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: They weren't on a desk or anything. They had a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: floor stand. Enormous globes. You remember seeing those in old
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: pictures from the 50s? Eisenhower had one in his office. So,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Hegseth apparently was Big, big fan of this globe. He
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: wanted it. It was being stored somewhere in the Pentagon.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It was used by Eisenhower in World War II, which
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: means it's an outdated globe. I mean, probably half the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: countries on it are different now. But Hegseth wanted it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He dispatched people in his office to go find the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: globe in the Pentagon and bring it to his office.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: It was a huge globe, like 30 inches in diameter,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: big wooden stand. So these guys went down to move.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: They found it. They moved. Now, normally, historical items like
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that are supposed to be moved by a team of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: trained curators who know how to move valuable art. These
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: are just a couple of guys from Hex's office. Well,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they tried moving it, and they were bringing it, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: they dropped it. At one point, they dropped it, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it smashed. One whole side of it, a whole part
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: got cracked. And the fragile, it's a shell. The fragile
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: shell cracked, and a big chunk is missing. near Antarctica,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: so they kind of destroyed it. The resulting gash appears
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to be several inches. Now, we're supposed to be all upset.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be mad at Hex of how dare
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the press watch the media go after him for this.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: The globe was in a backroom warehouse for how long?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: 65 years? Nobody was ever going to see this globe again,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: so don't worry about it so much. Hey, we'll take
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: some calls next. 800-321- 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey, we
• 14:16

  Speaker 1: We'll take some calls next.

• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Now, were you on the radio? Were you on the radio?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: For many years, 30 years in half a dozen cities.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: You got that radio voice, that Florida sort of radio voice,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the chipper kind of.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Never in Florida except a brief stint up in Orlando,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: mainly in Seattle and Detroit and San Francisco and Pennsylvania.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Other bergs around the lower 48. Anyway, hey, the squad.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Let me just point out for the audience, if you're
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: outside of New York and you listen to the radio,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: this is what you hear. Hey, good morning.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: They're too happy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I like being happy. I'm an old man, so
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be grumpy. Anyway, the squad. What
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: a banal name. Here's a much better name for those.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: laughable sisters that are up against Trump all the time.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Call them the Marx sisters, as in Carl with a K.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: They are just as laughable, don't you think?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I like that. That's very good. The Marx sisters. You're
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: in Miami. What part of Miami are you in?
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Plantation. Still down here on the plantation waiting for the
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: crops to be harvested.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now tell everybody how in Miami now, if you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: want to go somewhere, you're stuck in gridlock all day
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and night.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I stay off the freeways. I'm an old man,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: and I drive like a grandma for the very simple
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: reason that grandmas live to a grand old age by definition.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: And I've been doing so since my 20s, and that's
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: how I got to 72, Mark. And you've got a
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: dynamite show. Never retire, please.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks, Brian. Thanks for calling. Take care. Yeah,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: once again, if you're outside of New York and you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: listen to the radio, that's how they talk. Yeah, they
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: come on. Good morning. Hey, what are you doing? Talk radio. Well,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: we got this. Another latest on president. They used to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: talk like that in New York a million years ago.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Remember the morning show? Good morning. Hey, Harry Harrison. They'd
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: be chipper and loud and good morning. I'm Ted Brown.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Remember all that's how they used to talk back then.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Hildy in the Poconos. Hildy, how you doing?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark. How are you? Good. Listen, first of all,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I really love the fact that you're on three hours
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: every day now. And here's a question I have, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I figured you would probably be the only one to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: really answer this one.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: With the midterms being two weeks away and all of
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the money that's being pumped into these ridiculous ads that
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you see on TV, and they're ridiculous for both sides.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Of the aisle.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Do they really make a difference? Like, do people really
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: watch those ads and take anything that they hear seriously?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they do.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So the money is not wasted on any of those.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Well, the only time it's wasted, if you're Kathy Hochul,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: she's too much on old-fashioned television. That's the problem. You know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: she's on Channel 5, Channel 4, very low viewership on
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: these channels. TV stations. The money would be better spent
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, TikTok, and all those places. But she's not
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that sophisticated. All right, Hilde, thanks for calling. You know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the other thing is you've got these consultants that run
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: your campaign, and they do the ad buying, and they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: get the commission on the ad buying. So they'll tell
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you to buy everything. And if you buy it, we
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: need $ 2 million to advertise on TV, and they'll buy
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the $ 2 million in ads. And It didn't help. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the consultant will come back to you and say, well,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you know, two million is not really enough. You've got
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to spend four million. Look at another four million. No,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that's six million. They get the commission off all that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: That's like $ 600, 000 in their pocket right there. Actually, more probably.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It's probably like a million in their pocket. So, yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: old-fashioned TV ads, not that effective. You've got to be
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: on social media. You've got to be all over the Internet.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Radio is still pretty effective. It's actually proven to be
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: more effective than TV ads. And the thing with radio,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you can reach whoever you want. Let's say you're right
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: here on this floor. Let's say you come to iHeart
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to advertise. I need to reach more Hispanic voters. Well,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: you go down the hall, put your ads on KTU,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you reach them. I'm having trouble with the black voters. Well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you go right over there to Power 105, you got them.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I need to reach whoever you need to reach. I'm
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: having trouble with young, young. You go down the hall
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to Z100. Radio, much more targeted. Social media, the best.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Diane in New Jersey. Diane, how you doing?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hi there, Mark.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty good. And yourself?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Let me check. Not bad. Not bad.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Now, the reason I'm calling is earlier this morning, you
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: were talking about the carriage horse vote.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: And I have a question for you. You only seem
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: to mention about how Only one person has been killed
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: over the years, but you don't seem to mention how
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: many horses have died from collapsing on the street. Oh,
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: that's a good point. And how poorly a lot of
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: these horses aren't cared for. As a horse owner, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: can tell just by what they look like, their grooming status,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: whether they're cared for or not. And believe me, a
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: lot of them are not cared for the way they
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: should be.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: And in the summertime, we've got them collapsing on the street.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Nobody's talking about that, though.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: You have maybe 2% collapsing.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: One is too many.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: One is too many. As a horse owner... As a
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: horse owner, one is too many.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You're not wrong. That's a very, very good point. What
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: do you do with your horse?
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Well, it's a quarter horse we do hunter jumper with
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: in New Jersey. And to me, knowing the cost, what
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: it costs to maintain a horse.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: All right. Let me ask you a question, sincerely. Isn't
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that kind of cruel? You're sitting on this horse, making
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: him jump and do this and.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: They're bred for that. They're bred for jumping. They're high jumpers.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you, if I could talk to the horse,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he'd say to me, hey, it's enough with the jumping.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Well, the point I have, I know of sanctuaries in
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: upstate New York that are willing now to take some
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: of these horses and give them a great life.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: What do they do with the horses in the sanctuary?
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: They let them live their life in family units and
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: let them live out in the fields grazing, not as workhorses.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: and they get to live their life as a horse
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: should be, not parading around the household streets of New
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: York City.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: If one of these horses goes to the sanctuary, can
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: he brag to the other horses, well, I used to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: be in New York City. I used to ride right
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: down Fifth Avenue.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Well, there's a lot of racehorses that end up there
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: because that's another industry that we need to get rid of.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Did you know that the racehorses, when racehorses have a foal,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: that the mare, they get... They don't feed their own foal.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: They bring in what's called a wet mare. They bring
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: in a mare that had another foal that they ended
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: up abandoning just to come in and feed the ones
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: that are considered prized horses.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I've got to be honest.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: So then you end up with a bunch of foals
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: that are abandoned.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: This is getting too complicated. This is too much horse knowledge. But, no,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you seem to know your stuff.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm sorry, but you need to know. People need
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: to know about it. Investor racing is a very dirty business.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: It's very dirty. Very good points, Diane. Excellent points.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: You did teach us a lot. Thanks for calling. Take care. Oh,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: when we come back, the greatest pollster of all. Forget
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the fake public polls with the rigged metrics. We'll get
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the real numbers next. We'll talk to John McLaughlin coming
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: up on 710WOR. It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the WOR LifeVac studios. Well, all these polls you see
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: in public, all these junk polls, these media polls, these
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: college polls with the worst metrics, all rigged, slanted, biased.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Candidates don't use them. They use the real polls that
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: are much more sophisticated. Here is the best pollster of all,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: John McLaughlin. His website is McLaughlinOnline.com. He works for all
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the top candidates, presidents, prime ministers. John McLaughlin, how are
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well. It's 11 days to go. Lots of things,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: lots of moving parts going on right now and a
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: lot of close races.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Would you agree when it comes to the House, it's
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: too close to call? Nobody knows what's going to happen.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: There's too many seats in play. There's over 70 seats
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: that are being contested that are in play, whether they
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: say they lean Republican or Democrat or they are pure toss-ups.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: There's almost 20 seats that are considered pure toss-ups. So
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: it's definitely in play. And so a lot of these
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: polls that are coming out where like there was a
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: New York Times poll in the last couple of days
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: that had like Republicans down double digits in the generic ballot.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: And our last one had them down five. But, you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: that's pretty close. And, you know, they can make up
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: that ground generically as a team. But for that one,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: when you go into the internals, you're finding like there's
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: more Harris voters than Trump voters. And it doesn't even
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: know the 3000 interviews. it doesn't match up with the
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: actual political party and demographics of a national survey. So
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: they were, again, back to under-polling Republicans and under-polling Trump
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: voters and saying, oh, well, the Democrats are up by
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: double digits. Go home, don't bother voting. Because the Democrats
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: know that they usually do better in the early voting,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: and Republicans do better on Election Day, so they try
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: to discourage Republicans.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, we should point out, if you're in New
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: York State, Early voting starts tomorrow. Tomorrow you can go vote.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Do it. Vote for Bruce Blakeman. Vote for, hey, this
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: candidate for attorney general. She's brilliant. She's great in the debate.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: But people don't know her. They can't even say her name.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Does she have any chance at winning?
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes. She's coming already. So she definitely does. I mean,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: you saw the poll that her campaign put out earlier
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: this week where she was down six points, 51 to
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: 45 against Letitia James. And because she's running against Letitia James,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: she has a shot. But the other reason is in
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: the same poll, they had Bruce Blakeman trailing by only four,
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: 50 to 46. And it's a reputable pollster. It's not
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: my poll. It's un-messaged. I know them. They're very good pollsters.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: They work for a lot of senators and governors across
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: the country. And because that poll said if Bruce Blakeman wins,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: she's probably going to win too. So your point about
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: the early voting is very important. And, uh, you know,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: there's a history of polls in New York where you just,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: like you see this, this Quinnipiac poll, another school that
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: should devote itself to football or something else, but they've
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: took a poll and they don't release, they released the party.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: They only have 22% Republicans. And when you look at
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the actual vote, that's more like a registered voter poll,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: a 13 million registered, but a lot of registered voters
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: in New York don't vote. So, you know, you'll get
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: about 6 million like you did four years ago with
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Lee Zeldin and, uh, And out of that 6 million, 30%
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: were Republicans. So Quinnipiac decides, well, 8% of the Republicans
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: aren't showing up. And then they released no other demographics.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: You have no idea how old the electorate is. You
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: have no idea who's white, black, Hispanic, Asian. You have
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: no idea their education levels or their religion. And a
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: lot of these polls are infamous for under-polling Jewish voters
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and Orthodox Jewish voters. So you have no idea which
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: of their polls are good polls or bad polls because
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: they're not transparent. But they get away with it because
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: the media says so. They like them and they just
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: run with it. So that poll is definitely skewed.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all of these fake polls from the media and the– colleges,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you know, they put Republicans at 23% of the sample,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. How do they, in their own head,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: how do they justify doing that?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Well, the media prints it. They don't, there's a double standard.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: If I put out a poll, I got to give,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: I got to give them all. We want to see
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: all your demographics. We want to see your crosshairs. We
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: want to see this, that I got to file a memo.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: If I do for Blakeman, like when we had him
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: down four points, I had to put a memo into
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: the state board of elections and saying this is how
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: we ask the questions, this was the methodology, and give
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: all sorts of key demographics. So I comply with state
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: law in New York, but they don't have to do that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Because the New York Times and Newsday just run with it,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: and the TV stations just run with it, because they
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: have You know, they like the idea that Hochul's raised
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: taxes by $ 8 billion and how Mondami are going to
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: raise taxes by billions more after Election Day. So there's
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: a lot of liberal media that think that's a great thing.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: And they don't mind that people are leaving New York
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: and the rest of us who want to stay in
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: New York, we don't want to pay. I mean, Mondami
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: and Hochul, she's campaigning with him today.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you a question. Will they take
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the footage of them together campaigning today? Could that be
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: used in ads upstate?
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: We already have it. It's already in our heads. So,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, you go out on Long Island and you
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: go to the suburbs or the outer boroughs. I mean,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: they know, homeowners know that Mondami wants to raise property
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: taxes 9.5% on them. And they know that he's asking
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: for like a wealth tax, a death tax. In New
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: York State right now, you've got to make about $ 7
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: million to be subject to the death tax, the estate tax.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: He wants to lower, him and the DSA want to
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: lower it to $ 750, 000.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: So if you sell.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Your home, your kids are going to have to pay
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: an extra 16% on tax for your small business or
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: upstate farms. So upstate, they're really upset that Hulk will,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: you know, because the city and the state are in
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: deficits for billions. So upstate, they're really upset that she
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: just flat out when he was doing his child daycare,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: she gave him a couple billion or whatever. And she
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: just took it out of whatever state funds were there
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: and just gave it to him. And after election day,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: you know, she'll give him whatever he wants. And whether
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: it's income taxes, state taxes, corporate taxes. They're going to
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: raise it. And then the icing on the cake will
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: be when he closes Rutgers Island and releases thousands of prisoners. So,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: you know, if you want to stop all that, the
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: only way to stop it is to vote for Bruce.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And you can start voting tomorrow. It's a good time
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: to vote on the weekend.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Yes. Tomorrow and all week. All week you can go
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: to the early voting place.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Now, the media has every just average voter convinced that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the Republicans can't win because of the price of gas.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: As the greatest pollster, is it Really the case that
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: many people, most people will be voting based on the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: price of gas?
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't help that one up, but then the
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Iranians know exactly what they were doing when they tried
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. But on the
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: other hand, it's less than it was when Joe Biden
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: was president, and you've got to believe President Trump, that
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: when Iran suffers enough that they capitulate, the price of
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: gas will go back down to like $ 3 a gallon
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: or less.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Is it really the number one issue people are voting on?
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: No, but of course the living affordability. And when you go,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: when you go back to that issue, you know, you,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: when you see Kathy Hochul's name on the ballot, just
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: think about the, uh, 48 utility price increases you've paid.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: You're paying thousands of dollars more in utility, uh, bills
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: in New York state. Think about the 8 billion taxes.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Think about billions more in taxes that are coming. Income payroll,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: property taxes will be coming when Mondavi collects whatever his
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: endorsement is worth. And, uh, So that's the affordability in
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: New York. That issue is, that's actually the big issue.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now in New York, listen, there's definitely some cheating.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: There's definitely some illegals for them. There's definitely a little
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: tampering here and there. How much extra do you have
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to win by to overcome that cheating in New York?
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Well, I would say it needs to be more than 1%. Oh,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: that's not bad. Yeah, so it's like, but they'll, but
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: it's during the day, it goes on during the day
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: where Um, you have to, you have to monitor what's
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: going on in New York city and other, other, uh, uh,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Democrats strongholds around the state. So you have to make
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: sure that, uh, people that are voting, you know, only
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: vote once and they're legit legal citizens. And, uh, and
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: it's very hard in New York in a state without
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: voter ID. I mean, they, they all know, uh, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: when you go, when you sign that electronic, when you
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: go on a vote and there's an electronic signature. I mean,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the poor little old ladies who are doing the important
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: elections work, try to make sure it's an honest election.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: You can't show them ID, and then you sign that thing.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: They have no idea if it's you or not. But
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: they just– unless they're your neighbor and they know you.
• 31:36
