Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show on.
- 0:07Speaker 2: 710WOR.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Hey, well, we got a lot to get to this morning.
- 0:13Speaker 3: We'll get to Jerry Seinfeld. We've got some problems out
- 0:15Speaker 3: there on the road. We'll get to France. We'll get
- 0:17Speaker 3: to Bruce Blakeman. We'll get to Mamdani may have committed
- 0:21Speaker 3: a crime. We'll get to President Trump, of course. We'll
- 0:24Speaker 3: get to the midterms.
- 0:25Speaker 2: 14 days.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Two weeks from today, Election Day, two weeks from today,
- 0:31Speaker 3: you're in the final stretch now. You think you've seen
- 0:33Speaker 3: a lot of political ads now? Watch the next two weeks.
- 0:36Speaker 3: You're going to see an incredible blitz of political ads.
- 0:39Speaker 3: We'll get to Ilhan Omar. Looks like they got her.
- 0:43Speaker 3: We'll get to the Super Bowl halftime show. It looks
- 0:46Speaker 3: like we got a decision on who it is. Now,
- 0:50Speaker 3: two weeks until Election Day, two weeks. The way it
- 0:53Speaker 3: stands now, you listen to all these shows, one person
- 0:56Speaker 3: thinks this, one person thinks that, this guy's got this opinion,
- 0:58Speaker 3: she's got that opinion, they go back and forth. Here's
- 1:00Speaker 3: the way it actually stands right now. Looks very good
- 1:03Speaker 3: for Republicans to take the Senate, keep the Senate, maybe
- 1:06Speaker 3: even gain a seat or two. That looks very good.
- 1:09Speaker 3: The House, too close to call. Nobody's opinion matters at
- 1:12Speaker 3: this point. You can't predict anything right now. It's too
- 1:15Speaker 3: close to call. Uh, it's everything's within the margin of
- 1:19Speaker 3: error in the real polls, not the fake ones you
- 1:21Speaker 3: see on, although the fake ones in these last couple
- 1:24Speaker 3: of weeks, the fake ones all start correcting themselves. You
- 1:28Speaker 3: know how they'll tell you, uh, 98% of the time
- 1:30Speaker 3: we were right.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 3: They were wrong. 99% of the time, what they do
- 1:35Speaker 3: is the last couple of days they correct. So that
- 1:38Speaker 3: the final poll is correct. And then they can claim
- 1:40Speaker 3: that was, they were correct. They were, but, uh, they
- 1:42Speaker 3: lied to you the whole election season. And at the
- 1:45Speaker 3: very last minute, just correct it. But too close to call.
- 1:50Speaker 3: The House could go either way right now. Now, you
- 1:53Speaker 3: got another factor in there. One is the Republicans have
- 1:57Speaker 3: been moving up in the polls. Democrats have not. So
- 2:01Speaker 3: that momentum is usually an important thing in the last
- 2:04Speaker 3: couple weeks. And another factor is President Trump will be
- 2:07Speaker 3: out there on the trail just blitzing America with these appearances.
- 2:11Speaker 3: That can make a difference. It's not the speeches at
- 2:14Speaker 3: those rallies. I mean, those are a lot of fun.
- 2:17Speaker 3: But the reason they do these rallies is when you
- 2:20Speaker 3: go out there and you're going to appear and you
- 2:22Speaker 3: can have 10,000 people to rally, most of the time
- 2:25Speaker 3: 30,000 people apply for the tickets. Only 10,000 get in.
- 2:29Speaker 3: But it's 30,000. And in the process, they've collected the emails,
- 2:33Speaker 3: the phone numbers of all those people. This is what
- 2:37Speaker 3: they call the ground game. They can contact them right
- 2:39Speaker 3: up to Election Day, make sure they go vote. That's
- 2:42Speaker 3: the real reason. for the rally. So he's literally crisscrossing
- 2:45Speaker 3: the country every day. He's going to a different state today,
- 2:48Speaker 3: goes to North Carolina every afternoon, middle of the afternoon,
- 2:53Speaker 3: gets on a plane, flies to another state, does a
- 2:55Speaker 3: three hour rally, flies home to the white house at night. Now, um,
- 3:00Speaker 3: the fact that he's going to North Carolina means they
- 3:02Speaker 3: haven't given up, given up on North Carolina. That's the
- 3:05Speaker 3: one state that looked pretty hopeless for the Republicans. North
- 3:09Speaker 3: Carolina is the one where they had the real problem,
- 3:11Speaker 3: but it looks like, uh, They wouldn't schedule this trip.
- 3:14Speaker 3: They wouldn't have him go there if they hadn't seen
- 3:15Speaker 3: something in the real polling that gave them some optimism.
- 3:19Speaker 3: So he's going to North Carolina later today. He's also
- 3:23Speaker 3: trying to settle things in the Russia-Ukraine war. Zelensky and
- 3:29Speaker 3: him are fighting. They never got along, really. You know,
- 3:32Speaker 3: if you want to not impress Trump, show up at
- 3:35Speaker 3: the White House in a T-shirt. That's not the right
- 3:38Speaker 3: thing for Trump. Remember that first meeting that got off
- 3:40Speaker 3: to a bad start? And Trump is kind of right
- 3:43Speaker 3: about that. You come into the White House for the
- 3:46Speaker 3: most important meeting, but the president of the United States
- 3:49Speaker 3: wearing a t-shirt, it's disrespectful. It's insulting. So the next
- 3:54Speaker 3: time he put on some, some kind of a suit,
- 3:56Speaker 3: it was sort of a suit. He tried a little,
- 3:59Speaker 3: but these two never got along. They never really will
- 4:02Speaker 3: get along. But there's been a rough patch in the
- 4:07Speaker 3: last few weeks. uh zolensky has been brilliant inventing manufacturing
- 4:13Speaker 3: his own weapons his own missiles his own drones state-of-the-art
- 4:18Speaker 3: deadly drones by the thousands he's been using them against
- 4:21Speaker 3: russia very effectively but to do it you need starlink
- 4:25Speaker 3: there's a special military version of starlink called space shield
- 4:31Speaker 3: and that's what they've been using And it's been so helpful.
- 4:37Speaker 3: In real time, they can see everything on the ground.
- 4:38Speaker 3: They can direct the drones. They can control everything. Well,
- 4:43Speaker 3: in the last couple of weeks, all of a sudden,
- 4:44Speaker 3: for a few days, the space shield slowed down. There
- 4:47Speaker 3: was a slowdown in the data coming. They were getting
- 4:51Speaker 3: a little time delay on it, so it wasn't as effective.
- 4:54Speaker 3: It hurt Ukraine for a couple of days. Everybody was yelling,
- 4:59Speaker 3: it's President Trump. Well, first they were yelling was Elon Musk.
- 5:02Speaker 3: This is Elon Musk's Starlink military version. He shut it down.
- 5:06Speaker 3: He slowed it down. He throttled it down. Musk put
- 5:09Speaker 3: out a statement immediately saying, I have nothing to do
- 5:11Speaker 3: with it. I've sold the software. It's controlled by the
- 5:16Speaker 3: US military, the president of the United States. They would
- 5:19Speaker 3: have to slow it down. So then they went after
- 5:21Speaker 3: Trump and, uh, Trump denied it, and it looks like
- 5:29Speaker 3: there's no evidence that Musk... There's no evidence anywhere that
- 5:32Speaker 3: Musk shut it down. There's no evidence anywhere that Trump
- 5:34Speaker 3: shut it down. It looks like what can often happen.
- 5:37Speaker 3: You see it on your own computer, your own Wi-Fi,
- 5:41Speaker 3: all the time. Somehow, you know, for a day or two,
- 5:43Speaker 3: it slows down for some reason, some technical thing. So
- 5:47Speaker 3: the left has gone nuts. There's one newspaper in England,
- 5:52Speaker 3: The Telegraph, this one newspaper... There's 6,000 billion newspapers in
- 5:57Speaker 3: the world. This one newspaper published a story that it
- 6:01Speaker 3: was Musk that throttled it down, but only because Trump
- 6:05Speaker 3: asked him to. It was a conspiracy between Trump and
- 6:08Speaker 3: Musk to slow it down. Now, there's no evidence of
- 6:12Speaker 3: this anywhere, but the left has run with this story.
- 6:14Speaker 3: If you're watching Morning Joe, they did this story all
- 6:18Speaker 3: morning as if it's been proven. It's just a story
- 6:21Speaker 3: from one crazy newspaper. No evidence that it really happened.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Trump asked about Zelensky.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Zelensky says you're on the wrong side of history on
- 6:28Speaker 2: this one.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Zelensky said it? Zelensky doesn't know what he's talking about.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Zelensky is a man that should have had this war
- 6:36Speaker 1: settled a long time ago. If he would have listened
- 6:39Speaker 1: to me, he would have made a much better deal
- 6:41Speaker 1: a long time ago, and he'd have a million people
- 6:43Speaker 1: living from his side.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that may be true. You know, listen, Zelensky's been
- 6:47Speaker 3: brilliant in this war, as they say, manufacturing, setting up factories, but...
- 6:52Speaker 3: Let's be honest. You walk into an electronics store. You
- 6:55Speaker 3: want to buy something. Zelensky behind the counter. How much
- 6:59Speaker 3: would you trust this guy? He's got that whole look. No, no, no.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Listen to me. I wouldn't trust this guy at all.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Trump is calling for a meeting with Putin. and Zelensky.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Zelensky doesn't want to go. Would he meet with just Putin?
- 7:13Speaker 3: I don't know. He was asked.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Would you meet with Presidents Xi and Putin to discuss
- 7:18Speaker 2: the end of the war without Zelensky there?
- 7:20Speaker 1: Well, I would meet in order, anything I can do
- 7:23Speaker 1: to end the war, whether somebody's there or not.
- 7:26Speaker 3: Yeah, that's, hey, that's what you do. Anything you can do.
- 7:29Speaker 3: So France is burning down to the ground. It's a
- 7:34Speaker 3: Every year they have the student protest. That's how this started. This,
- 7:36Speaker 3: what you're seeing now, is not student protesting. This is
- 7:40Speaker 3: Muslim extremists. This is Antifa. This is communist groups. These
- 7:46Speaker 3: are the most awful groups on earth. They've all infiltrated
- 7:50Speaker 3: the protest and taken it over. They're trying to burn
- 7:53Speaker 3: everything to the ground. Paris, everything. It's been quite obvious
- 7:59Speaker 3: they're going after Jewish-owned businesses. Anything Muslim, mosque, anything, somehow
- 8:05Speaker 3: they don't touch it. They're trying to take out government buildings.
- 8:09Speaker 3: They're trying to take out any landmarks. If you're thinking
- 8:14Speaker 3: of going to France, forget it. This is going to
- 8:16Speaker 3: go on for a while. In fact, tourists in France
- 8:20Speaker 3: basically have to get the hell out of there. There's
- 8:21Speaker 3: nothing to do. Everything is closed, by the way. The Louvre,
- 8:25Speaker 3: they tried to take the Louvre. The Louvre had a
- 8:28Speaker 3: ton of security people. But they can't open. It's completely
- 8:31Speaker 3: closed down. Normally 20,000 visitors a day at the Louvre.
- 8:34Speaker 3: It's closed. They can't open it. Same with the Eiffel Tower.
- 8:38Speaker 3: That's a big thing to go into the Eiffel Tower,
- 8:41Speaker 3: up to the top, or that great Jules Verne restaurant
- 8:44Speaker 3: in the middle. But just about everything is closed. Versailles,
- 8:50Speaker 3: that's another big tourist center. That's closed. You can't go
- 8:54Speaker 3: anywhere near that. All the shopping districts have been totally
- 8:58Speaker 3: affected and disrupted. Outside the city, as I say, Versailles
- 9:03Speaker 3: and everything else, shut down, dangerous. These are real serious rioters.
- 9:08Speaker 3: These are not student protesters. These are Islamic extremists. These
- 9:13Speaker 3: are communist extremists. This is Antifa, and they can get very,
- 9:17Speaker 3: very violent. They're burning, looting. It's absolutely disgusting. The problem
- 9:23Speaker 3: is it's France. It's Macron. He's not doing anything. There
- 9:27Speaker 3: should be a massive show of force to put an
- 9:30Speaker 3: end to this immediately. They had some problems in Italy.
- 9:33Speaker 3: About 300 rioters showed up. And the military was called
- 9:37Speaker 3: out immediately and stopped them right then and there. That's
- 9:40Speaker 3: what you got to do. Now, I say bring out
- 9:43Speaker 3: the military. Who are you going to bring out? The
- 9:44Speaker 3: French military? Well, the French military. Good luck with that.
- 9:50Speaker 3: That's like calling in a Boy Scout troop. So I
- 9:53Speaker 3: don't know what they're going to do in France. And
- 9:54Speaker 3: there's nothing that's going to improve here. The country has
- 9:58Speaker 3: been infiltrated by all these people. As Ted Cruz said,
- 10:03Speaker 3: they committed cultural suicide, left the border wide open. The
- 10:07Speaker 3: country has been overrun by these people. Basically, the French
- 10:10Speaker 3: people are going to have to leave at some point.
- 10:12Speaker 3: President Trump.
- 10:13Speaker 1: They are incompatible with Western values. They despise everything about
- 10:20Speaker 1: France and they're destroying that country. And we're not going
- 10:24Speaker 1: to let that happen to this country. Yes.
- 10:27Speaker 3: It's not like, you know, in the old days of immigrants,
- 10:29Speaker 3: they came to this country for the American dream. They assimilated,
- 10:34Speaker 3: they opened a business, you know, they became great Americans.
- 10:38Speaker 3: The immigrants, this is different. These are migrants. These are
- 10:41Speaker 3: illegals for the most part. They left the border wide open.
- 10:44Speaker 3: They come in, uh, Normally, you go to France because
- 10:47Speaker 3: you want to be French. You want to be living
- 10:50Speaker 3: in Paris and having a great... No, they come in
- 10:52Speaker 3: because they can't stand France. They hate everything about it,
- 10:54Speaker 3: the culture, the institutions. They want to burn it to
- 10:57Speaker 3: the ground. Make it third world. And Trump is right
- 11:00Speaker 3: about that.
- 11:01Speaker 1: If you want to see what is at stake in
- 11:03Speaker 1: this election, just look at what's happening in France, a
- 11:07Speaker 1: once great nation that is being conquered, looted and burned
- 11:11Speaker 1: to the ground by migrants, jihadists and communists who hate Christianity.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And they hate, frankly, the Western civilization itself.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Now, Mamdani, Mayor Mamdani in New York may be committing
- 11:25Speaker 3: a crime. They may be able at some point to
- 11:29Speaker 3: actually charge him with a crime. You know, he's going
- 11:31Speaker 3: after ICE. ICE is Immigration Customs Enforcement. It's a law
- 11:36Speaker 3: enforcement agency that enforces the laws that are on the books.
- 11:40Speaker 3: If you're here illegally, they can arrest you and deport you.
- 11:44Speaker 3: They're not really doing that just because you're here illegally.
- 11:47Speaker 3: They decided way back in the beginning they would go
- 11:50Speaker 3: just after the illegals who are criminals, who are committing crimes,
- 11:54Speaker 3: who are doing robberies and rapes and they've got convictions
- 11:57Speaker 3: or gang members. So that's who they've been deporting. And Mamdani,
- 12:03Speaker 3: of course, denouncing them. The Democrats hate this. They want
- 12:06Speaker 3: these crazy illegals that are committing crimes all over the
- 12:09Speaker 3: streets for all sorts of reasons. But the latest thing
- 12:12Speaker 3: is Mamdani has sent a letter to every parking garage,
- 12:16Speaker 3: every parking lot, every business. Do not let ICE use
- 12:20Speaker 3: your parking lot, your parking garage. Do not let them
- 12:24Speaker 3: park there. Obviously, when they come to New York, they
- 12:27Speaker 3: have to come with a lot of vehicles. They need
- 12:28Speaker 3: to park them somewhere. So he said, ICE is not
- 12:33Speaker 3: authorized to use your garage or lots. It was a
- 12:35Speaker 3: very serious letter and a very threatening letter. You know,
- 12:38Speaker 3: you get a letter from the city of New York
- 12:40Speaker 3: telling you, you better not do this. You're going to
- 12:43Speaker 3: get scared. The city of New York has a lot
- 12:45Speaker 3: of enforcement regulation power. You run a business here, even
- 12:48Speaker 3: a parking lot, a lot of things they could do
- 12:50Speaker 3: to you. So it's a menacing, threatening letter. But it
- 12:54Speaker 3: may be illegal. Legal scholars looking at this say it
- 12:57Speaker 3: is fairly close to committing a crime. Obstruction of justice
- 13:02Speaker 3: could be illegal. The Department of Justice is looking into it.
- 13:07Speaker 3: You can't interfere with law enforcement. You can't try to
- 13:11Speaker 3: stop the New York City police from doing something in
- 13:13Speaker 3: New York. You can't get in their way and try
- 13:15Speaker 3: to block them. Well, same thing with the federal law enforcement.
- 13:19Speaker 3: And remember, federal law supersedes local law. Federal law enforcement
- 13:25Speaker 3: agencies supersede local law enforcement agencies. So they're looking at
- 13:30Speaker 3: Mamdani as a possible criminal, possibly committed a crime. Hey,
- 13:35Speaker 3: we'll get to Jerry Seinfeld coming up.
- 13:37Speaker 2: He is.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Touring the country. You know, this guy created the greatest
- 13:43Speaker 3: sitcom ever. He made himself over a billion dollars. And
- 13:49Speaker 3: he likes to work. He's a hardworking guy. He's always
- 13:52Speaker 3: been a hardworking guy. He loves to go on stage.
- 13:55Speaker 3: He loves to tour the country, loves to do standup.
- 13:58Speaker 3: And you might say, why would a guy after all
- 14:01Speaker 3: that success with Seinfeld with a billion, why do you
- 14:03Speaker 3: want to tour the country? It's a rough life. You know,
- 14:07Speaker 3: even when you got private jets in the finest hotel suites,
- 14:09Speaker 3: you're still on the road, still traveling every day, flying.
- 14:13Speaker 3: But I asked him that once. I said, why do
- 14:14Speaker 3: you want to keep? And he said, That's what I do.
- 14:18Speaker 3: He said, it's like a dog. When you take the
- 14:20Speaker 3: dog in the park and you take the leash off
- 14:22Speaker 3: and he's so happy and he just runs. He goes,
- 14:24Speaker 3: that's what guys like me do when we do standup.
- 14:27Speaker 3: We want to just be turned loose on the stage. So,
- 14:31Speaker 3: and it's a great thing. And he tours all over.
- 14:33Speaker 3: He's been doing that for many years since Seinfeld went
- 14:36Speaker 3: off the air. Well, at college campuses, the crazy left-wing
- 14:40Speaker 3: communist college campuses, they started to boo him. You got
- 14:44Speaker 3: to remember Jerry Seinfeld to them, He's old. He's an
- 14:49Speaker 3: old dinosaur to them, to the 18-year-olds. Remember when you
- 14:52Speaker 3: were a kid and you looked at Bob Hope? Bob
- 14:54Speaker 3: Hope was the biggest comedian in the world. But when
- 14:57Speaker 3: you're a kid, you look, who is this old guy?
- 14:58Speaker 3: He's like from a relic from another era. This old,
- 15:03Speaker 3: old guy from the past. Well, that's how they look
- 15:05Speaker 3: at Jerry Seinfeld, believe it or not. So the college
- 15:09Speaker 3: campus kids would boo him. He would do these, that
- 15:12Speaker 3: was a big thing for a comedian. The college shows,
- 15:14Speaker 3: you can get a couple thousand people in the auditorium.
- 15:16Speaker 3: They would boo him, and heck, he had to stop
- 15:18Speaker 3: doing colleges. He couldn't do them anymore. So now he
- 15:21Speaker 3: does major venues in different cities, and he's in Chicago,
- 15:26Speaker 3: and these communist anti-Semites, anti-Israel buy tickets, and they come
- 15:32Speaker 3: in and disrupt his show. They start screaming at him,
- 15:34Speaker 3: and it gets really ugly. This is Chicago. Listen, I'm
- 15:37Speaker 3: right in the middle of a show. This is a
- 15:39Speaker 3: bad heckler. Seinfeld!
- 15:42Speaker 2: Seinfeld!
- 15:43Speaker 1: Listen to me.
- 15:44Speaker 2: You're a racist. There are 74,000 dead Palestinians. 74,000 Palestinians
- 15:56Speaker 2: have been killed by the racist state of Israel.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Get this guy! yeah go online and watch the video
- 16:16Speaker 3: as the guy's yelling the Seinfeld starts dancing starts doing
- 16:19Speaker 3: this dance it's very funny and then he said you
- 16:22Speaker 3: couldn't really hear it he said I'm going to find
- 16:24Speaker 3: out how much you paid for your ticket and I'm
- 16:26Speaker 3: going to send that much to Israel as a donation
- 16:29Speaker 3: and he's announced he'll do that anybody that comes into
- 16:32Speaker 3: Hegel and buys tickets. He'll find out how much you paid.
- 16:35Speaker 3: That amount will be donated to Israel. So if you
- 16:37Speaker 3: come in and buy these tickets, it will become a
- 16:39Speaker 3: donation to Israel. Tough to have to go through. Anyway,
- 16:42Speaker 3: we'll get back to this. We've got more of these
- 16:45Speaker 3: clips we'll get to throughout the show. A lot more
- 16:47Speaker 3: to talk about. It's Mark Simone here. Nine to noon
- 16:50Speaker 3: every day. Three hours every day. Nine to noon every
- 16:53Speaker 3: day here on 710WOR.
