  Speaker 1: The west of us. You just heard the news. Now
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you'll find out what it all means.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Simone on 710WOR.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, well, a lot to get to today. We'll go
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: over last night's Blakeman-Hockel debate. We'll get to Katie Zachariah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Kimberly Guilfoyle. We'll get to the president.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: He's on the road. Boy, is he on the road.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: We'll get to, uh, The horses are going to get
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: banned in Central Park. We'll get to Mamdani and Tisch
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and the Pope and a whole lot more. So, yeah,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the president's an incredible schedule. He made a trip to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Alaska yesterday afternoon. That's a seven and a half hour flight.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Although you can go pretty fast in Air Force One.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Six hours. Alaska. Big rally. Then flew from there to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Nevada. Spent the night in Las Vegas. From
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas, he's going to Arizona today and then another
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: state or two. This, of course, would have killed Joe Biden.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't have survived any of this. But Trump, business
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: as usual, crisscrossing the country. Big rally last night in Alaska.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Huge cheers. Now, we'll get back to the president in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: these rallies. Midterms, it actually looks pretty good for the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate. Looks pretty good in the real polls.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: A house too close to call right now. New press
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: secretary is Katie Zachariah, and she was nervous and shaky
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in the first briefing, White House briefing. That's happened before.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It happened with Sean Spicer. It happens many times. But,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of course, you got the fake news, the MSNBC, MSCNN,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: New York Times crowd, who just exploded. This was their
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: whole topic for the whole day, that it was a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: train wreck. A disaster, a train wreck, the worst thing. Well,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it was not the worst thing ever. She was nervous.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And the problem is they threw her in there without
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: any prep. Normally, it takes a lot of prep to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: do your first briefing. You got to spend a week
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: at the White House. You got to spend a lot
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of time with all the principals, talking at great length
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to them, learning backwards and forwards, every detail of everything
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: going on. Then you got to, you know, talked to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the president a lot for a couple of days about
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: what type of briefings he wants, how he wants it done.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of prep that goes into this. For
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: some reason, if the president made a mistake here, this
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: was the mistake. He threw her in too fast. Should
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: have let her have a week at the White House
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to get herself acclimated, get ready for everything. Instead, as
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: soon as you get there, do the briefing the next day.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So it was a little too soon. Now, she wasn't
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that bad. The biggest problem was, You have to read
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: an opening statement. You have to run down all the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: things you want to brief the press on. So for
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: eight minutes, she went through this opening. Now, this is
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a real art, being able to read this without looking
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like you're reading it. You don't want to look like
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, where you put on these Ben Franklin glasses,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: look down on the whole time. It happens a lot.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It's a strange skill to be able to read a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: teleprompter or a script and not look like you're reading.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Very few people have this skill. TV anchors have it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But in television, a lot of times you'll see a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: guy's a guest on the show every week. He's great.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Every day he's a guest. He's phenomenal. What a talker.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And then one day they let him fill in. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: then when he has to read the teleprompter, he suddenly
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: gets very stuck. He's not used to reading a teleprompter.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So that was, but again, that just takes a little practice.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: They'll have a media coach work with her. Somebody will
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: show her how to do that, how to look up
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and how to, So that gets fixed real fast. Now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the rest of it where she had to answer questions
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: or talk about, she was fine. She was a little nervous.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: She was a little shaky. Again, it happened to Sean
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Spicer his first day and other press secretaries. But the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: toughest thing she had to reveal was Kimberly Guilfoyle being
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: asked to leave. Now, you take a listen. She sounds fine.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: a wonderful asset to the team, and we.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Wish her well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: All right. I mean, it's a little, you know, sounds
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like Carrie in Sex and the City. It's a little,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but OK, she's a young woman. That's how they talk.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: But again, she was fine.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I am so honored to work for President Trump and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the American people as the new White House press secretary.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: OK, so a little stilted and a little nervous. Again,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you got to wait till the next one. The next one,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: if she's much better than she's going to be fine,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: she'll get better every time. If she's exactly the same,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: then you might have a problem, but it wasn't as
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: bad as you're hearing. You can remember what a train
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: wreck it was. Uh, she looked good up there. Uh,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the eyebrows were a little too dark. You got to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: fix those eyebrows, tone those down, but otherwise she was fine. Uh,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: The listener. She's fine.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So I intend to, to the extent possible, include my family,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: include my kids in my work, though my work will
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: be demanding. They will always be a priority. And I
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: President Trump is the most family friendly president we've ever had.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He has hired more women with families. And the fact
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that he knew I had four kids and he knew
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that this job would be demanding and still places trust
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: in me shows that I know I'm capable of being
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: able to step up to that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That was fine. It's not great. I mean, listen, you're
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: not going to say, what an orator. Wow, she's Winston Churchill. No,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you're not going to say that. But you wouldn't listen
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to that and go, wow, it's a train wreck. But
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: if you're watching MS Now or CNN, they all run
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: around like chickens with their head cut off, yelling and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: screaming about train wreck. That's what they do over there.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: They get themselves all worked up about nothing. Hey, last night,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I was speaking to Kimberly Guilfoyle. The word is there's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: more stuff coming. There's more stuff coming. Now, here's the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: suspicious part. This whole story about the donor, the.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: $ 100, 000.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Payoff for American Express, all this stuff. Apparently, this story
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was developed four months ago. I don't want to mention publications,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but they had it four months ago and held it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They were trying to use it to screw up the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: midterm elections for Trump. They held it until now, releasing
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it just three weeks before the elections. And apparently there's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: more stuff. They're going to unleash it in the coming
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: three weeks. So it's to damage Trump. That's to damage her, too.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But that's one reason they just told her to get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: out and leave. She has been very supportive of the president,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: putting out all kinds of statements. I still support him.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'm 100 percent behind him on this and that. Very,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: very gracious. And the other thing is she might need
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a pardon. That's the other reason for that. The president,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: if he were to lose the House. The House is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then going to subpoena everybody. They're going to hold hearings.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: They're going to go after everybody, Don Jr., Eric. They're
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: going to go after Kimberly Guilfoyle if they see something here.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: She's a big target because they think because she was
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: engaged to Donald Trump and with him for a couple
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of years, boy, she must know everything about the inner
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: workings of the Trump family. So that's why she'd be
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a big target. So it's possible that if the president
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: loses the House— He may start pardoning people right away
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: just so they blunt those House hearings and she'll want
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: one of those pardons. Hey, the big debate was last night.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Blakeman and Hochul, almost everybody, almost everybody agrees Blakeman won,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: won big. If you look at the newspapers or the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: news sites where they get a bunch of panelists, you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: some political analysts ask them to all vote. Even they
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: said Blakeman won. You know, you'd get the one hardcore
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Democratic strategists, but very few of them said Hochul won.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: In fact, most of them, they couldn't, they didn't want
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to say Blakeman won. So those real Democrat types, well,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it was a tie. That means Blakeman won. He was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: very good. Hochul had a lot of problems in that debate.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: From her point of view, it's a good thing to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: tie him to Trump because the Democratic voted, well, they
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: hate Trump. So we understand that, but it was too much.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Every second it was Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It was too much. Didn't look good after a while.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And then some people think Blakeman should have tied her
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Mamdani more. He didn't even mention Mamdani until the fourth
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: quarter of this debate. But OK, no, I mean, he's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: got plenty of other plenty of other things to go
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: after her for. But it's interesting when he did mention Mamdani.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: When he did say, you know, Mamdani's an anti-Semite, he's anti-Semitic,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he's anti-American, he's anti-Christian. When he went through all that,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Hochul never defended him. Hochul never said a word. Didn't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: stick up for Mamdani in the debate. Now, I guarantee
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you Mamdani was in Gracie Mansion watching the debate. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: when he heard Blakeman say all this stuff, he waited
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: for Hochul's response. And Hochul did not defend them in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: any way. So it'd be interesting to see if this
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: changes the supposed support Mom Donnie's going to have for Hochul.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. But Blakeman was great in the debate.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you to vote for change. What
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: have you got to lose?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: It's a line Donald Trump used in 2016. Hochul... I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: had all kinds of prepared responses and cliche things to say.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: He says that he's going to bring Trump style leadership
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: to Albany and he's going to let ice run rampant
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: in our streets.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, see, this is what Hochul did the whole debate.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: This is the problem. I don't know if this works.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: These lies are too preposterous. This is just hysterical nonsense.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: There was no look at all his campaign ads, every
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: campaign speech. There's no time at any moment that he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: ever say, I'm going to bring Trump style leader. He
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: never said that. He never proposed having ice run rampant
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in the streets. He just, uh, he's for law enforcement.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: He's a law enforcement guy. She, some law enforcement, not
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: too much law enforcement. You know, if you're an illegal
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: committing crimes, you get a pass. Even if you are
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a criminal and you get arrested. No bail, no jail.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: She's weak on crime. I think that really got through
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to most viewers. Now, the big problem with the debate,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it's on New York One, which absolutely nobody watches. New
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: York One has 12 viewers. The other problem, as I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: kept telling you, very biased, very left-wing. You'll notice they
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: kept cutting off Blakeman. There were moments where she would
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: launch a vicious attack, and he'd say, could I just respond?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: We have to move on. I'm sorry, we have to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: move on. That's the cry of the biased moderator. First
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of all, you're doing a TV show. If she really
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: hit him hard, let him respond. This is good. This
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is the debate. This is the debate. Let him respond. No,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We have to move on. We have to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: move on. Left-wingers, you notice they never once did it
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to Hochul. Every time they did that, it was to Blakeman.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Then the other thing the bias networks always do, and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they did this towards the end, they ask a deep question,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and then as Blakeman would answer, They'd say, it's a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: yes or no question. We have to have a yes
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: or a no, yes or a no. There has to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: be a rule. In fact, anybody, if you're ever in
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a debate, just tell them, just say it. I don't
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: do yes or no questions. I'll only give you an
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: answer with substance. I'm not doing a yes or no question.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It's a trick trying to trap you. Blakeman didn't fall
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: into it, but he was great last night.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: The reason why that happened is because of you, Kathy Hochul,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and your immigration policies. Kathy Hochul appealed- to ICE to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: let this criminal out. What was this guy doing in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: New York in the first place? It's because Kathy Hochul
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: has made us a sanctuary state.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, you should have explained it, though, because some
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: people may not know, especially a New York One viewer,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: because they only get half the story. The guy's a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: career criminal. The guy's a gangbanger. The guy, Hochul kept yelling,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they're just shooting at random into cars. No, they're not.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They'll only shoot if you take your car and you
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: try to run them over. That's, That's the only way
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you're going to get shot. But she really, really got
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: crazy and desperate at times. I don't think we have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this clip, but at one time she got so desperate.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I can't believe she even did this. Joe Biden used
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to try this crap, but Biden was a real slimy guy.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: In a debate, he was the lowest lowlife. They used
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to do this to a Republican. They'd start yelling, QAnon!
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows what the hell QAnon is. It's some kind
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of chat room on the internet somewhere with 12 people
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in it. It has nothing to do with Trump. It
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Republicans. They don't even know
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: what QAnon is. So she started hitting him. Blakeman is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: hanging around with QAnon. First of all, nobody could, you
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: can't hang around with QAnon. Who the hell could even
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: find them? He's hanging around with white supremacists. Can you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: picture Bruce Blakeman hanging around with white supremacists? That is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the oldest, cheapest, dirtiest, lowest, low-life thing you could do
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: in a debate. At one point, she pulled... That's how
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: desperate she got. Bruce Blakeman hangs around with QAnon and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: white supremacists. And that was a sign of absolute desperate
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: panic to try something that low and stupid and cheap.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And I think that hurt her with the audience, really
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: hurt her with the audience. But Blakeman... kept battling her.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: She kept trying to fight back.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: He refused to condemn what ICE did. So he basically
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: says in the state of New York, he'd be fine
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: if ICE agents shoot into cars.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yes. I don't know if anybody's buying this. Blakeman says
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: ICE agents should just shoot into cars. No, it's like
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: any law enforcement agency anywhere. If you're going to get
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: killed and the car is going to run you over,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that's deadly force. You are allowed to use deadly force back.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It's her sanctuary city.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I said New York is not a sanctuary for criminals.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Well, nobody's buying that right now from her.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: That is the war with Iran that is driving up
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: gasoline costs and energy costs.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Who edited these clips? They're way too short. Way too short.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You got to get the whole answer in there. But
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Blakeman just kept battling her back.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Kathy, Donald Trump didn't raise utility rates 48 times.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You did. Yeah, he was very good on the energy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And when you read through all the surveys and focus groups,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they are, all of them, unanimous on that. Number one issue,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: energy bills, costs, taxes. And she is the one that
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: raised your energy bills up like crazy 18 times. She's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the one that's taxing you more than any other state anywhere.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: So it was basically affordability. And you got to blame
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Hochul on that. Energy costs. all that stuff, taxes, ridiculous taxes,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and more taxes coming, and crime. Crime was the big issue.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: New York State now has the lowest crime rates it's
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: had in modern history.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Patrick, maybe you haven't heard.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: U.S.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: News & World Report says I have the safest county
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: in America.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, you know, the funniest thing, he does have
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the safest county in America. U.S. News & World Report
