  Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, it's Wednesday. It's six days until the election.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Is it six?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Six days until the election. In Israel, the election took
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: place yesterday. Still don't have a result, but hang on
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: one second. This is a text from... The Netanyahu people,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: let me see here. They've got 78% of the vote counted.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And they've got the Netanyahu party, the Likud, at 27.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The Yashari at 22. Together at 12. So Netanyahu is
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: in the lead at this point. 78% of the vote counted.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Still too soon to call. This could be like California.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: When I say the election is six days from now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you won't get the California results, or several states won't
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: give you the results for days. But it looks a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: little better for Netanyahu. But we'll have to wait and see.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We may have a result for you later today. Hey,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot to get to. We'll get to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: this congestion pricing is going to become a nightmare. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: there's more coming along those lines. But we'll get to that.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: President Trump keeping up a brutal schedule, just crisscrossing the country,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: campaigning all over the place. Every afternoon, he jumps on
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Air Force One, heads out to another state. Yesterday, it
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: was Texas, a couple of stops in Texas. He gets
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: back to the White House about midnight. And then when
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: he gets back to the White House, he does what
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: they call a gaggle, which is a spontaneous press conference.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: He stops and does a little mini press conference. That
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: goes till about 1 o'clock. So he does this every night.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: He gets home about 1 a.m. into the residence and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is up 6 a.m. working by 7, yelling and screaming
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: at people, calling people, watching everything, texting people like crazy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But it's a brutal schedule. Yesterday in Texas, now this
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: is a good idea. Remember, Texas is a border state.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: With all the problems we have with the illegals pouring
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in and the crime and the drugs and It's much
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: worse in Texas where they're right on the border. He
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: wants to propose legislation. If he gets Congress, pass a
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: bill that the border can never, ever be opened again.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: We will pass the no invasion of our country act,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrants again. It's never going to happen to you again. Texas,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: it will never happen to you again what happened to you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: That was an invasion of our country. That was a
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: military invasion.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It's a great idea. Democrats could take power one day
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and just undo that bill, that kind of stuff that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: they do. Anyway, when he landed, talking about a lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of stuff, James Comey, more indictments. This time I think
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: they really got him because this story's been around for
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a while, how he had a friend in New York,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I think it was a professor at Columbia, who he
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: would leak stuff to. And then that guy would leak
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it to the New York Times. And the story was
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that then Comey could say, I never talked to the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: New York Times. I had nothing to do with the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: New York Times. But they seem to have gotten what
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: they think is a lot of evidence proving the case.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So in that gaggle yesterday, Trump asked about Comey.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I think he's a dirty cop, James Comey, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I know nothing about it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: He's a dirty cop, but I know nothing about what's
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure he knows something about it, but... You know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: they always give you this, the Justice Department is supposed
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to be totally independent. No, it's not. It's absolutely not
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: supposed to be totally independent. There's a reason they put
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it in the executive branch. And the president is in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: total control of the Justice Department. The Justice Department is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: directed by the president of the United States, as is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: all the cabinet departments. It's not totally independent. It's never
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: supposed to be. Totally independent. Hey, you got this congestion pricing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It is driving people crazy. This congestion pricing. You know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: they always talk about diesel prices or gas prices. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that can affect a lot of things because everything in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: every store, everything you buy in every store, grocery store,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: drug store, everything is delivered by truck. And if the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: trucks run on diesel fuel, if diesel fuel costs go up,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: They've got to pass that along. So it raises the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: cost of every item. But the same exact thing happens
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: with congestion pricing. Every delivery into every store comes by truck.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And the congestion pricing on trucks is huge. You know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: store owners are telling me there are vendors now that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: are in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, don't want to come
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: into Manhattan. They don't want to pay the congestion pricing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's a big problem. Huge problem. And Bruce Blakeman on
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the campaign trail has pointed out that the Hochul plan
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: is if, God forbid, she wins re-election, congestion pricing will spread.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Right now it's in Manhattan, but it'll be coming to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn and to Queens and to all sorts of places.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: We had a lot of listeners all over New York State.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It'll be coming to Albany. It'll be coming to Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It will spend Spread. Blakeman says that if he's elected,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the next day congestion pricing will be gone.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: She's collecting $ 9 per car just for the privilege of
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: driving on this public road that the taxpayers have already
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: paid for. It's nothing more than a tax on the
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: middle class.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It is a ridiculous tax, $ 9 a car. Now, to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: get here, if you're coming from New Jersey or you're
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: coming from Westchester, You got to pay a 10, 12,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: $ 15 toll just to get in here. Then it's another $ 9.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: If you want to actually drive on the street here,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. You know, if you get in
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: your car, you have any taxes you've already paid, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: any taxes you're paying, you paid a tax on your
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: car and your gas. You want to park in a garage.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You're paying a parking tax. You're paying taxes left and right.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Now on top of that, a driving tax, it's absolutely idiotic. Uh,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It supposedly is to fund the MTA. The MTA budget
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: should be slashed in half. It's double, triple what it
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: should be. It's all waste and fraud and bloat. Listen
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to Hochul.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: He must like a lot of traffic, higher accidents, slower
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: response time, less money to fund the MTA and Long
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: Island Railroad, and not really care about congestion.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: If you were worried about the MTA, you wouldn't let
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: him waste 80% of their budget. Less traffic? Look out
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the window. You see any less traffic out there? Traffic
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: has not changed one bit. I know they'll give you
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: some study about something. Just look out the window. Traffic
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: has not changed one bit. Come into Manhattan, try to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: drive from 57th East to West or West to East.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Try to drive down Park Avenue in Midtown. It hasn't
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: changed one bit. It's absolutely ridiculous. Now, I've got some
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: really bad news if you're a driver. It's going to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: get worse. Mamdani and the city council are plotting to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: take over the streets, take them away from cars. They
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: want to make them what they're calling it low traffic zones.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: They want to get the cars off of a lot
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of streets. Now, how would they do that? Well, they're
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: going to expand the sidewalks out. So you'll lose lanes.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It's an absolutely ridiculous idea. There's already a plan for
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Park Avenue. You've seen the go online. You can see
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the drawings. It reduces Park Avenue like one lane each direction,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: which is insane. It's already gridlocked. It's already gridlocked. Then
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: they want to put in speed bumps everywhere. Speed bumps,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: which is the most annoying thing in the world out
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in the suburbs or somewhere. There's one on 56th Street already,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: but speed bumps everywhere. And they're going to do all
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: sorts of stuff like that to just make them, now
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: they're claiming, If you live in the neighborhood or if
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you have a store, you'll still be able to have
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a car come right to your door. But other cars
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: won't use it as a way to pass through your neighborhood.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. The city council is in
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: on this. Mamdani is in on this. This is going
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to be a nightmare if it happens. That's one reason
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you've got to get rid of these people. The other
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: thing is, if you think it's a problem as far
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: as affordability... If you think crimes, you know, for Democrats
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to campaign on affordability in New York is unbelievable. The
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Democrats have controlled every inch of New York for 15 years.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Democrat mayor, Democrat city council, Democrat governor, Democrat legislature, all
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the district attorneys, everything is run by Democrats. So this
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis, it's all on them. It's absolutely their fault.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: If there's a crime problem, it's absolutely their fault. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you've got to change parties. You've got to get rid
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of them. You see this FBI agent broke down and cried.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: She's one of two FBI agents that are now going
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to be indicted for lying to Congress about the Hunter
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Biden laptop. This is during the Comey-Christopher. Wray era of
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: total dirty cops and bad sleazy stuff going on at
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the FBI covering up that Hunter Biden laptop. It was
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: clearly the Hunter Biden laptop. You can see in store
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: on the surveillance video, you can see Hunter Biden bring
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in the laptop, bring it to the guy, hand it
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to him to have it repaired, signs a receipt. He
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: signed it. It's his laptop. There's no doubt about it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Then the FBI and Biden go into all sorts of contortions,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: try to convince you it's not, it's a fake, it's
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Russian disinformation. You remember in the debate, Biden produced a
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: letter signed by 51 former CIA intelligence. It's definitely Russian intelligence.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely ridiculous. It's, Hunter Biden's laptop. We know that
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: for a fact. And it turns out that way back
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: when the FBI had the hard drive, they had everything.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: They absolutely knew it was Hunter Biden's laptop, still engaged
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: in this cover-up. So these two agents testifying before Congress
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: when there were hearings and lied. They said, well, we
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: never heard anything about it. We heard it was disinformation. Otherwise,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: we had no conversation about it. We hadn't We didn't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: know anything about that. Well, then they get their texts
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and all their communications. They found out they knew everything
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: about it. They were talking about it. They were in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: on this cover. So they've indicted these two for lying
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to Congress. And then the woman, one of them, broke
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: down and cried at the courthouse yesterday. Now, the reason
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: she's crying is it looks like they got her, absolutely
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: got her. And she's facing five years in jail as
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a result. I mean, the lying is pretty blatant, pretty obvious.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Looks like they got the evidence, so it's not good. Hey,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: speaking of Israel, the latest is Netanyahu looks like he's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: pulling in front just a bit. Hochul, Kathy Hochul, said
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: her job would be a lot easier if Netanyahu loses.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. Why would it be
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a lot easier? The opponent, the difference is Netanyahu wants
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to go into Iran and finish it off The opponent
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: thinks you got to put economic pressure on Iran. He
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't believe regime change would ever be possible. So he's
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: against that. But when it comes to Gaza, Hamas and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: their Holocaust that they tried on the Israeli people, both
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu and his opponent are in total agreement. In fact,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the opponent was head of the Israeli Defense Forces. So
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: they're both for protection of Israel against Hamas and all
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: of that. But Hochul, Hochul said she would be happy
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: if Netanyahu loses. She says, I went to Israel right
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: after October 7th. I saw a lot of pain there.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: But I cautioned the government there in private conversations not
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: to overreach. Can you imagine this? These Israeli leaders have
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: been living this nightmare over there for 50 years. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: you got this Yenta from Buffalo lecturing them. The world
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: is with you when it comes to the brutal assault
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: by a terrorist organization known as Hamas. An overreach could
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: change that dynamic. And that's what happened. Now, how could
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you have an overreach if somebody launches a Holocaust against you?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: If they start raping women, slashing the throats of babies,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and this is all on video, you can see them
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: doing it. There really is no overreach. Can you imagine
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: her cautioning us in World War II? Not to overreach
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: when it comes to Hitler and the Nazis. What could
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: be an overreach? When it comes to Hitler and the Nazis,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: we did whatever we had to do. We firebombed entire
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: cities like Dresden. Whatever we had to do to win,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you got to stop that stuff. But that's Hochul. If
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you live on Long Island, Ohika Castle. It's a landmark.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's one of the great Gatsby sort of mansions. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a venue for a million big parties and events. Actually,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: it's Halloween Saturday. They always have that big Halloween party.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: It's still on as far as I know. But it
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: has fallen into hard times. The owner, that little guy, Gary,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: what's his name? Melius, Gary Melius, bankruptcy, owes whatever he owes,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: 60 million. Anyway, it went up for auction yesterday. Two
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: guys bought it, two big real estate guys, one from
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Long Island, one from Westchester. Oheka Castle was sold for
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: something like $ 72 million. I don't know what they're going
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to do. They said they'll keep it open. A lot
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: of stuff has happened in Oheka Castle.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: That's where Anthony Weiner got married. Bill Clinton performed the ceremony.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: You want to curse your marriage, have Bill Clinton do
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the ceremony. Bill Clinton doing a wedding. Can you imagine that?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: And the sourpuss Hillary Clinton staring at you as you
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: get married. Anyway, Oheka Castle's got huge grounds, golf course, everything, hotel, restaurants.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know what these guys are going to do
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: with it, but you could do a lot with this
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: place and make.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: It a hotel.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: There were a few bidders. I think five bidders. One
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: of them was just a private guy who wanted to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: make it into his house, but not willing to go
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: crazy with the bidding. Anyway, we got a lot to
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: get to this morning. Lots to cover. We'll keep you
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: up to date on the Israeli elections. I don't know
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: if we'll get results today. Very slow process. They're almost
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: as bad as California. We'll get to the latest from
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the left, the latest crazy Trump attacks and more coming up.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Simone here. Three hours every day now. 9
• 15:48

• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be a bright, sunny autumn day
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: today in the 60s. Now, speaking of Kathy Hochul, she's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: going full left-wing, angry left-wing kook style. mode, Hochul talking
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to Politico, the left-wing news site Politico, and telling them
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: she's very excited, excited about the possibility of a Democratic Congress.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: She'd like to see them, she says, holding up President
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Trump and his agenda with constant investigations and hearings. She's
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: calling for gridlock and lawfare. She wants to see them
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: do endless investigations. I'm excited about this. Excited about that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: She said, I want to see investigations, hearings, subpoenas, questionings.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I want to put the media spotlight on everything he's doing.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It's already on everything he's doing. I want to try
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to stop his flood the zone strategy of doing so
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: much stuff that you can't even keep track of it. Well,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I think we can all keep track of it. I mean,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you know, her, she's got an IQ like maybe, maybe 98.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So it's a little too fast for her. But for us,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: it's fine. She said she needs to, we need to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: stop the corruption, stop the abuse. The things he's getting
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: away with, a fraction of them would have been national
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: scandals for years. Everything he does is a national scandal
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: in the media. Everything. They keep telling you about this corruption.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: You watch MS Now or any of the crazy stations,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: it's about corruption. We have never seen corruption like that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Corruption is, show us the corruption. Where is this corruption?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Look at New York. Every law enforcement, the crazy attorney general,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the insane district attorney, they went after Trump with everything.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They couldn't find anything to charge him with. They made
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: up these charges. One was that he overvalued his apartment.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: None of it was true. All these cases get tossed
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: out on appeal. In fact, he undervalued his apartment. If
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you look at similar apartment listings, they're much more than his,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and his has got more status than any of those.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And then if I tried to explain to you what
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg charged him with, it would take an hour
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: and a half to explain it to you. And as
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Alan Dershowitz said, he's read it a hundred times, still
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: cannot figure out what the crime is. They couldn't find
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: any corruption. They couldn't find anything to charge him with.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So they had to make up these fake charges. And
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: this Letitia James, you can throw her the hell out
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: in six days. Vote for the Republican candidate for attorney general,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Sarita Comatarelli. I think that's how you pronounce it. But very,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: very smart.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Very.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: She'd be a great attorney general. Vote for her in
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: six days. This crazy Letitia James, if she gets reelected,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: she's not term limited out at any point. It's a
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: state job. And there's no term limits on state jobs.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: But she will go after Trump again. This is her
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: whole life. It's just hating Trump. But listen to her.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: These executive orders are oftentimes arbitrary. They're capricious. They violate
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: the spending clause. I have no personal animus against the president.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: I took an oath to New Yorkers to protect them
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: from harm.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I have no personal animus. How do you say that word?
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: These executive orders are oftentimes arbitrary. They're capricious. They violate
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: the spending clause. I have no personal animus against the.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: president.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Animus.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: No animus against. If she had been hooked up to
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a lie detector during that sentence, you would have had
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: a power failure up and down the East Coast. That is,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that she could say that with
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: a straight face, she has no personal animus to President Trump.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: She has more than that. She has the most raging,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: burning hatred of Donald Trump. If you get her alone
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and you say, you know, he's really not a bad guy.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: You'll see smoke coming out of her. She will go nuts.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That is one of the biggest lies ever told by
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a politician. So now if they do get control of
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the House, it doesn't look good for Democrats in the Senate.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: It looks like Republicans will keep the Senate. But If
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: they were to get control of the House, there will
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: be hearings every second, every day. Do you remember when
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Bush was in the White House, Bush Jr., and they
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: were holding the hearings on everything? Remember they held hearings
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: on Halliburton? Those were the big hearings. How did Halliburton
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: get that contract? They didn't get it from Bush. They
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: had the contract already. They were the contractors under Clinton.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: They were the contractors under Jimmy Carter. They were the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: contractors under everything. Obama, remember Obama came in, gave the
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: contract right back to Halliburton. They always have the contract.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: There's nobody else that does that particular work in war zones.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: But they held these fake hearings. The second Bush was
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: out of office and Obama took over, they dropped the
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Halliburton hearings and Obama renewed the contract with Halliburton. I mean,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: they just made up these whole fake things. So with Trump,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: they will investigate everything. There'll be a ballroom hearing They'll
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: investigate the helipad. They'll investigate Don Jr. They'll investigate Eric Trump.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: They'll investigate Trump's uncle. Anything they can find. They'll just
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: keep investigating, investigating. Do you remember this crazy attorney, general
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: district attorney? They went after the Trump organization in New York.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: They looked through the books. They looked through every financial,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: everything of the Trump organization. All they could find was
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the CFO, Allen Weisselberg, very nice man was using a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: company car and he didn't put this on his tax forms. Now,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the reason he didn't is because every CFO everywhere, every
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: top executive is using the company car. They never put
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: it on their tax forms. They all use a company
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: car while he was staying in a company apartment. Well,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: every big, big, big corporation has apartments. They keep in
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the city for executives coming to town, whatever. And once
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: in a while, The CEO, the CFO will use it
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: for a night. You never put that on your tax form.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Not to mention that this Trump organization is a company
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: that has something like 800,000 apartments in New York City.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So that's all they could find. That was it. So
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: it was basically nothing, absolutely nothing. But you'll hear these hearings.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You know, the problem is if Democrats were to control
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the House— The committee chairman would be all the nutjobs
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: like Adam Schiff and Ro Khanna. All these crazies would
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: take over the hearings and they would call in everybody.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: And the other thing you don't get, Trump loves this stuff.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You get him into a fight, you corner him. He
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: loves that. That's where he comes to life. He loves
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: these battles. Absolutely loves them. You want to make him miserable?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Just leave him alone. Leave him alone. Tell him what
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: a great guy he is, how wonderful he is. He
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: gets miserable. If you're not fighting with him, he gets miserable.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: He loves a battle. So you're in for– if they
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: were to win, you'd be in for a couple of
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: years of that. Now, the other thing is if the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Democrats were to take control of Congress, they would do
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: all this crap, which will look ridiculous to the public,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and the result would be Democrats would lose big in
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: 2028 in the presidential race. So it would guarantee– A
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Republican president getting elected in 2028. So that's the good news. Now, if, well,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: we'll see. The midterms are six days from now. But
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the most important thing is early voting. A lot of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: early voting. Most of it seems to be Democratic. So
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: counter that. Get out and vote. Republicans, you need to vote.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Early voting. It's much better to do. You won't have
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: to wait in line. You can just breeze right through.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: A pain in the neck to do it on election day.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Do the early voting. You can do it any day
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this week. You can do it over the weekend. Don't forget,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, we go off daylight saving time. Saturday night
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: at 2 a.m., it becomes 1 a.m. You'll get an
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: extra hour of sleep. But then starting Sunday night, it'll
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: be dark out by 5 o'clock, which is very annoying.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Don't forget the marathon is Sunday. It can be a
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: traffic nightmare in New York City all day. So don't
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: drive into the city, anywhere in the city, on Sunday.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Of course, Halloween, Monday night. Anyway, we've got a lot
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: more to get to, and we'll take some calls coming up.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here on 710WOR. Three hours every day, 9
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to noon.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, Wendy's. I love Wendy's. I think Wendy's is great.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: They're having some problems. They just closed another 60 locations.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they had it. But the billionaire
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Nelson Peltz. There's a guy who's come in and rescued,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: bought companies and tried to turn them around. Nelson Peltz
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: bought Snapple. Apparently he's about to make a big bid
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: on Wendy's. He wants to get Wendy's, fix it up.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So the fact that a guy like that is bidding
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: means there's a good future for him. Burger King has
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: been rising up from the, I've never been a big
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Burger King fan, but it's been rising up. I guess
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: that's been hurting Wendy's. McDonald's adding all kinds of crazy
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: items to the menu. We'll get to that coming up.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. I'm
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: looking at the calls. It looks like a lot of
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Florida calls. We have a huge audience in Florida. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of you think, gee, I'd love
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: to be in Florida. It's paradise. It's paradise. Listen, they
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: got some big problems in Florida. We'll get to one
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: of them coming up in the next hour. Let's go
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Good morning from rainy Florida. Florida, where it's been raining
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: for four days now. Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: You know, people up here, they say, I'm going to Florida.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I can't stand the snow. It's enough with the snow.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Go down there, you get four months of hurricanes. And
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: then for half the year, you get a vicious thunderstorm
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: once a day. Am I right?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: It rains about 340 days a year, I would say.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: And every time you complain about the rain, the guy
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: on the other side of the counter says, well, we
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: really need it. I'm going, you really?
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: How could there be a drought?
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. It rains every single day, literally every
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: single day. It's like, who's feeling the water in Florida?
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that's like a tropical thing, a vicious rainstorm at
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: late afternoon every day.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Every day. I mean, it's like I say, I want
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: to spend one day completely dry before I die here
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: in this state. I don't think it's going to happen.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: But you were mentioning congestion parking along with the congestion
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: pricing along with the banning of cars. On a basic level,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: it's a nuisance. It's a pain in the neck. It
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: raises prices. But in a more sinister way, it's a
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: way for them to control the public. You know, if
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: they take away your mode of transportation, where are you
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: going to go? You're stuck there and you're at their,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: you know, you're at their want and desires to see
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: where you travel. And, you know, we'll provide trains for you.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And they're not going to do that. It's a way
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: to control the population.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. No, that's what Democrats love. That's why they
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: want you off your great private insurance, health insurance. They
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: want you on government insurance. That way they control it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: They won't want you driving a private car. They want
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: you on public transportation. That way they control it. You're right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Take away all choice.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Very good point. Yeah, definitely. Excellent point, Mike. Yeah, Democrats
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: are never pro-choice when it comes to anything, except abortion,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: which is fine. But everything else, they don't like choice.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: They'll tell you what health plan you're going to have.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: They'll tell you how you can get to work. They'll
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: decide for you. Let's go back to Florida. Let's go
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: to Joel in Florida. Joel, how are you doing?
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark. Occasionally we get a few days where
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: it doesn't rain, but that's not often. Just have a
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: question for you. In the past, when Netanyahu was running
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: for office, we've heard that Obama sent people over to
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: Israel to try to see what they could do to
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: disrupt the process. Have you heard of anything at this
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: time where he might have sent people in or the
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: Democrats sent people in That's why to upset the process.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: There is some funny business going on down there. Absolutely. Definitely. Uh,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: they'll have to uncover it, uh, over the next few weeks,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: but yeah, there's a lot of funny business going on
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: with the voting down there. The latest is, uh, Netanyahu
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: was behind, but the latest is he seems to have
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: pulled ahead just a little, but not enough of the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: votes still too close to call. Uh, Joel, thanks for calling.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: It's going to be, um, Could it be a while
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: before we actually know the results of this election? I
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: don't even know if it will be later today. At
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: some point, maybe by the end of the week, you'll know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Right now, the latest I got from the Netanyahu team,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: let me give you that again, is.
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: 78% of.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: The vote in. Likud, that's Netanyahu's party, 27. Yashari, 22.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: So it's a slight lead. It's a slight lead, but
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: we'll see. Let's go to Chucky in Long Island. Chucky,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: It's Chucky. How are you, Mark?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Tookie.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, Tookie.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: It says Chuckie.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Tookie.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: It's Tookie. It's Tookie.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: It's Tookie. That's even worse.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: What kind of name is Tookie?
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: It's a nickname. It's a long family nickname.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: But, Mark, listen.
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: Florida went from God's waiting room to the foreclosure capital
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: of the country. All these people running to Florida to
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: think they're going to save this exorbitant amount of money
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: when they leave here are totally wrong. Food is just
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: as expensive as here. gas is more is is as
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: expensive if not more expensive and it's just it's it's
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: it's it's not what it was if you want to
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: save money you have to move to a rural area
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: now which would be more out west.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: There are cheaper places to live like in the carolinas
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: well i guess that's.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: A rural area absolutely yeah uh well you.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Could move to connecticut's a little cheaper than new york uh.
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: The condos. If you move to a condo on Long Island,
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: where I live, I pay about $ 19, 000 a year in taxes.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: But if I move to a condo, I would have
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: a situation where my taxes would be $ 6, 000 to $ 7, 000.
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: But I have an exorbitant HOA fee. These people in
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: Florida have an exorbitant HOA fee now also.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: That's true. You have a condo, no property tax. Your
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: HOA fee will be through the roof, though.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: It used to be nothing. Now there's $ 700, 000, $ 800, 000. It
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: depends on where you live.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right. Good point, Tookie. Thanks for calling. Let's
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: go to Walt in Yonkers. Walt, how you doing?
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Pretty good. As a matter of fact, I'm all ready
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: for Halloween.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you look it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Just picked up my costume.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's not a costume. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Just picked up my costume, a red beret, a red
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: sateen jacket, and a big sign that says, everybody, look
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: at me.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know what? That's a good idea for a costume, though.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Just go as Curtis. Although, where do you get a
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: red beret?
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: On the internet.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course. Of course. Yeah, you can. Yeah, it's
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: a good costume. Get a sateen jacket, a red beret.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: People will know. Everybody knows Curtis. You'll go as Curtis.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Is that it, Walt? You just wanted to make a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: joke about Curtis? That was the whole thing?
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Hey, everybody, look at me. From day one, that's Curtis.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: You're kidding. I've never heard of a radio host behaving
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: like that. You mean a radio host looking for attention?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: That is certainly unusual. Can you imagine such a thing?
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Son of a gun.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Walt, keep working on that. You've got to come up
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: with something better. It's a.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: It's a start, but you're not there yet, Walt. Anyway.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Should I get to it now? No, I'll save it.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I'll save it. There's all kinds of problems in Florida.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: They got another one now in major parts of Florida.
• 32:36
