  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now 9 till noon weekdays on 710WOR. Hey,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls, 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey, you know,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: today's Tuesday. Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, is the midterm convention, the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Republican midterm convention. It'll be two days in Texas, Wednesday, tomorrow,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and Thursday, Thursday. And it's a brilliant idea. President Trump
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: came up with it. I don't know why somebody didn't
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: think of this before. Presidential year, you have the big convention,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: gets a lot of attention, everybody gets to speak, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it's basically a big pep rally for the Republicans or
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. So it's midterm elections. It's an off-year election.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But President Trump came up with the idea, let's do
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a midterm convention. He'll come and make a big, enormous speech,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and then they got a whole bunch of speakers, and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: then at the end, Final day, final night, J.D. Vance
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: will speak. People that run it asked me if I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to broadcast live from there. And, of course, I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: immediately said no. Spent two days listening to politicians make speeches. Now,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that's the only problem with this convention. It's a great idea.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to actually show it. Obviously,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they're not going to run it on MSNBC or CNN or,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you know, the networks. And even if you're Fox, you've got, like, big,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: high-rated shows online. You're not going to preempt them to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: do these speeches, maybe President Trump's speech. But here's the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: list of speakers. Imagine broadcasting live to get these speeches.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Mike Rogers, Ken Paxton, Caroline Leavitt will speak. All right,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that one might be good. Todd Blanch. And basically, it's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: just a bunch of senators. It's Senator Ron Phillips, Senator
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: John Fredericks. It's a million senators you've never heard of.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So it'll go on for two days. And again, it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a great idea. I just don't know in the world today,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know who will actually broadcast this and show this,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: but a million clips will come out of it. Maybe
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that'll happen. What the president wants to do here is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nationalize this election. So if you've got a local Senate
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: race in Michigan, a local Senate race somewhere, the problem
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is off your election, no presidential election. So you get
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: very low voter turnout. So he wants to make this
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: as if he were on the ballot, as if it's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a vote for him or against him to increase turnout
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: among Republicans. So maybe, just maybe, that'll work. Now, you're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: going to see all these fake news, network news, his
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: approval ratings, the president's approval ratings are low. Look how
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: low they are. They're so low. They forget to tell you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: They're double what the Democrats are. Democrats have an approval
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: rating way below Trump. In fact, Democrats are now breaking
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the all-time record for low approval ratings they always leave
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that part out of the story and it's trump you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know this guy he'll always pull a rabbit out of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: his hat so between now and november he'll he'll he'll
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: pull something off hey let's take some calls let's go
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to uh jeffrey in new hampshire jeffrey how you doing.

• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a guy calls you from New Hampshire.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Where are you actually from? This is Steve from Manhattan.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You can't call with that accent and try to claim
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you're from New Hampshire.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I'm from New Hampshire.

• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a different state. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You're like the ace detective.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to be Columbo on that one.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You take a call from New Hampshire and go, yo,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: how are you? They're not a guy from New Hampshire.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: There, down south.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I see the president is busting chops again, Mark, by
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: calling New Mexico New America, which I thought was amusing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And I think I read somewhere he's thinking of changing
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the name of the Grand Tetons after Dolly Parton.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. Wait a minute. Hang on here.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: So.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's just he likes to shake things up.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you ever go to the zoo and you're
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: looking through the cage, you're looking at the big tiger
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and There's always some bratty kid who has to rattle
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the cage, has to throw something at the cage. Yeah,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: he's the.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Quintessential New Yorker.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He's a BB, as my father used to say about
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: guys like that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Something buster.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Because it works, and he understands that. It's sort
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of good natured in many ways, but You have to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: be accepting of it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: That's what the problem with some of these people who
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: are going to be no-shows for the convention are going
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to create that situation where, oh, he's too much.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And it's like, no, go to the convention.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Support it every way you can. You want to win.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. All right, Mike. Good call. Thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he just likes to cause a little trouble now and then.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: He's the Howard Stern president. You got to remember, he
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: comes from the world of Howard Stern, Imus, that kind
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of stuff. You always rattle the cage, start a little trouble,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: push the envelope. That's just the way he is. You're
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not supposed to do that when you're president. But hey,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he's had more success in a lot of areas than
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: all those professional politician presidents. So let him do it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's what he does. You know, guys like that, when
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they see a good target, I think that's the problem
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: with Canada. They just look like good targets. Those leaders
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of Canada, they just look like these pompous stuff shirts.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And when Trump sees that He loves to tweak them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Pat in Westchester. Pat, how are you doing?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Very well, Mark. How about yourself?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Now, getting back to Maria Bartiromo, do you think her
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: good looks contributed a lot to her career success?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: No, she was a very fine reporter, a very good reporter. Remember,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: she was on the Wall Street stock exchange floor originally
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: as a reporter. No, she knows her stuff backwards.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: But she used to be referred to as Money Honey.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because when you have a lot of great top
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: business reporters and one of them looks real good, you
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: make up a nickname like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now, you couldn't do that today. Back then, that was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: 30 years ago, whatever that was. You could call it
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the money, honey. Now, you'd be canceled for treating a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: woman like an object like that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: And my other question would be, do you think any
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: of these other business hosts are sitting by their phone
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: waiting for a call maybe to replace her?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, to replace her?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be rotating hosts. She does the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: morning show, Fox Business, so that'll be rotating hosts. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: then what else does she do? She does the Sunday
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: show on Fox News.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and she used to do, like, that version of
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Wall Street Week.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: So she actually, you know, she was a hard worker.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I wonder if when they confronted her on this thing,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: you know, she used to work long hours and get
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: there 4 o'clock in the morning and everything like that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I wonder if she just said, ah, that's fine with me.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You know, let's... Well, uh, she's a very hard worker,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but much of the time she was doing the show
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: from the Hamptons. So, uh, the commute was from the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: living room.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I know, I know she married very well.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, she does. She's a very nice person in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: real life. Yeah. She'll, she'll do fine. Uh, maybe thanks
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: for calling. Yeah. Where would she go? I don't know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Newsmax could be, could be, they're probably already calling. Uh, yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of places she can go. Uh, She's a very, very,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: very good business reporter. Sometimes she's getting a little too
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: much controversy. These little conspiracy theory type stuff, Dominion, all
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: those kind of things. She was always going a little
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: too far in that kind of stuff. Rick Santelli is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: stepping down from CNBC. CNBC is a very left-wing, very liberal,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: very biased place, except for Joe Kern and Rick Santelli.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he would broadcast from Chicago. You see, that's the thing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He's not in the swamp. He's not in the, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the New York, Washington, D.C.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Swamp.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He was a Midwestern guy coming from the heartland. Remember him?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: He's the guy that came up with the name Tea Party.

  Speaker 1: to Lake Michigan, I'm going to start organizing. What are
• 8:56
