  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone? Three! The
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays. 710WOR. Hey,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it's hour number two. That's right, two. We start at
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock every morning now. A lot to get to.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: A lot of debates last night. We'll get to that.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the Yankees. We'll get to the crazy
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Brad Lander. And more coming up. Hey, you know, there's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a new thing that, uh, is starting to be used.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You know, they have, uh, uh, well, first, first it
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was radar guns. You know, when this cop hiding in
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the bushes can measure your speed limit, he knows if
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you're speeding. And that was years ago. And then along
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: came the red light cameras. If you go through the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: red light, the camera will, uh, record that and take
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a picture of your car going through it. Uh, Then
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the next thing was those speed cameras. It doesn't even
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: have to be a cop there. If you're speeding, it
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: will see that you're speeding, take a picture of your
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: car speeding. You'll get mailed a ticket. So now the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: new thing that is being rolled out, stop sign cameras.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: This is the most annoying one ever. The camera's in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the stop sign. It will see if you came to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a complete stop. It will know exactly how you have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to complete stop. It'll see exactly how long you stop.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So you can't do one of those rolling stops where
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you kind of slow down. What do they call that?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know, a rolling stop. You can't do that because
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you'll never actually stop. So you'll get a ticket. Now,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this is a little controversial. The village, beautiful town of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Upper Brookville, that's in Long Island. It's the North Shore.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Upper Brookville, they had a town debate over whether to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: install these. Now, Upper Brookville, it's a beautiful place. But
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you only got like four cars. Since when do you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: have such a problem with stop signs? There's three cars
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: driving around. Don't worry about it. So watch for that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So the problem is this digital stuff. You know, in baseball,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: balls and strikes, sometimes the umpire is wrong. Now... They
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: got like a digital thing that'll tell you exactly where
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the ball, exactly. It's kind of annoying. I mean, it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: good for balls and strikes, but stop sign cameras? This
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is getting ridiculous. A lot of debates last night. There
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: was a big Texas debate. You got Ken Paxton, Tallarico.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate. Oh, he's got his problems.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But this Tallarico is a raging nut job. But He's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: doing better than he should be. And one reason is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the whole Bush world, Bush family, Karl Rove, all these
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: people came out against Paxton. They're back in Tallarica. Why?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, the Bush people hate Trump. Hate Trump. Listen,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I can understand it. It was the Clinton dynasty. It
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was the Bush dynasty. It was Bush Sr. Then Bush Jr.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was president. Jeb Bush was next in line. The Bush dynasty.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And Trump wiped it out. He stopped the whole Bush
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: dynasty dead in its tracks, finished them off, and they're done.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So you can't blame them for killing the family business.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You can't blame them for hating Donald Trump. But they
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: don't have to go crazy supporting the nutjob Tallarico, the Democrat.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Last night's debate, here's Paxton.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Do you want to debate him?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Do you have the desire to or not?
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Look, if the terms were right, I'd have no problem.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: What are your terms?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So in terms of debating, I.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Don't want to end up with a CNN reporter covering
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: the debate. So, you know, I don't know what all
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the terms are, but I do know I don't want
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: a CNN reporter covering our debate, which initially was talked about.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's not a bad point. That's not a bad point.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I want a legitimate debate with a real neutral moderator.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's a legitimate point. Unlike Kathy Hochul said, I'll only
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: debate on New York One, which is the most left-wing
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: slanted thing in the world, and it's only got 12 viewers.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was kind of crazy. Tallarico? Hey, Ken,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it's James.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I'm calling to invite you to a debate on Fox News.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Texans start voting in less than a month, and they
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: deserve to hear from both of us before they do.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I've accepted four local TV debates, but we haven't heard
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: from you, and we're running out of time. So if
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Fox News is where you'll be most comfortable, I'll be there.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty good move on the part of Tallarico. Hey,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in Fox News, I know left-wingers claim it's slanted, biased.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: It's certainly a conservative network, but they've been pretty down
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the middle the last couple of years. They've been critical
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of Trump. If you watch that Katie Zaccaria, when she
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: went on Hannity, boy, he hit her with the tough questions.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: There were no softballs there. And again, Fox News can
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: be very, very critical of Trump when they don't like
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: something he does. So they've been pretty good at calling
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: balls and strikes. Unlike MSNOW, unlike CNN. Speaking of baseball,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Hal Steinbrenner, listen, nice guy. He's not George Steinbrenner. In fact,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Curtis said he wants a DNA test to see if
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this kid is actually related to Steinbrenner, but... They re-signed
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Brian Cashman to a whole new contract. You've got to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: give Brian Cashman credit. This guy is a genius at
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: hanging on to his job. He's a very nice guy,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: but they lose. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And he gets a new contract. I don't know what
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the hell this guy has been doing, but he's obviously
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: good at it. This will be his 30th year on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the job. And pretty good. Aaron Boone will be back. uh,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: for his 10th season, give him credit. He hasn't won
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in 10 years. He got, he's coming back. Uh, Hal
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Steinbrenner defended both of them. Now this is strange. He said,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the bottom line is the players didn't live up, uh,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to their end of the bargain in the playoffs, the offense,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: not the pitching, but the offense had a big part.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Why didn't we get to where we strive to get
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: every year? So he's blaming the players. Um, Well, George
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: would do that, but you'd do it privately. Say it publicly. Oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: here's Hal Steinbrenner. It was a Zoom call.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, we failed at the goal this year, but that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is always our goal, which is why we put so
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: much effort and resources into the roster every offseason to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: field a team that can accomplish that. I thought Boone
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: managed a good season. The bottom line is the players
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: didn't live up to their end of the bargain in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know i don't know that's uh i have.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Never suggested that a season like this season is a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: success uh i am often asked was the entire season
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a failure winning 93 games is not a failure i
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: mean making playing in the division series is not a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: failure it became a failure because we did not do.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Well he's got a point there you know you got
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to be a hell of a good team if uh
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You know, not winning the World Series is considered a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: bad year. I mean, the fact that he got to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the wild card, pretty good. For any other team, that'd
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: be very, very impressive. So give him a little credit.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Governor's race. Hey, Bruce Blakeman got a big endorsement. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: New York State Court Officers Union. It's a big deal
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: because they never endorse. They never endorse. You know, the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: police unions, most of the unions, they do an endorsement
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: every time. But this is unusual, highly unusual. A candidate
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: has to really be special for these guys to do this.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: The New York State court officers now backing Bruce Blakeman,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and they said it's about public safety. Now, what would
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: make them all of a sudden come out and do
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: an endorsement? They don't ever do that. Well, remember, they're
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: court officers. They're in the courtroom every day watching criminals
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: get released because of horrible, horrible DAs like Alvin Bragg.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, these left-wing kook DAs that won't put anybody
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in jail. You could be a criminal who's been got
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a rap sheet a mile long. You just committed a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: horrible crime and they'll let you go. They won't, you know, DA, judge,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: won't put you in jail. So these court officers must
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: be frustrated and furious watching this every day with their
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: own eyes. So they're backing Blakeman. First time they've endorsed
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a candidate in forever. You ever get on a plane
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and the person in the next seat or A couple
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of seats away is a problem. They're making noise or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they're playing music or they're kicking your seat. You ever
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: have a problem with somebody next to you or they
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: won't shut up? This might be the worst person you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: could sit next to. So the woman wants to fly
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: first class. She pays for a first class ticket because
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: she wants a big seat. She wants to recline it back,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: sleep during the trip. She's got a seat, window seat,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: first class. And the guy next to her After they
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: take off, he takes out his laptop and he's watching
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: pornography and then starts masturbating on the plane. Apparently, he
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: did have a blanket. Give him credit. He used a blanket,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but his hand was under the blanket making this jerking motion. Uh,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: she was horrified. She notified a flight attendant who, uh,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: didn't seem to worry about it. She didn't say, are
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you okay? Uh, she kept texting her friends about this
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: while she was on the plane. Finally, the flight crew
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: agreed to move her and switched her with another passenger. Uh,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But the woman said they didn't do anything to the man. Now,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, was this Jeffrey Toobin? I don't know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't think they... When you think on the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: airline there's a rule against masturbating on the plane, the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: flight crew did move her. They didn't do anything to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the other man. She said, in fact, when the plane
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: landed and he got off, there was nobody there to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: detain him, no police, no anything. The airline didn't notify anybody.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Uh....
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: She didn't do anything with any police, but they didn't either,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the airline. So reporters contacted United Airlines. Now, apparently airlines
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: are not required to report passenger sexual misconduct to police
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: or a federal agency. United Airlines said in a statement,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we take this issue seriously. We spoke with the customer,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: apologized for her experience. We also offered her either $ 1, 000
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in travel credit or 50,000 miles as an apology. She
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: accepted the miles. Somebody masturbating in the seat next to you,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's worth more than $ 1, 000. That's a $ 5, 000
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: gift or 100,000 miles. Oh, here's the good. We have
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: also banned the masturbator. We have banned that person. Oh,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: pending our investigation. He's not completely banned. Pending their investigation. Well,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a United Airlines investigation. That's two junior nobodies they'll assign
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to ask a few questions. This investigation will be a big,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: what a report it'll be, half a paragraph. They do
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: say women traveling alone are recommended to choose an aisle
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: seat if possible. You would think there'd be more consequences
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: for that guy. President Trump going to Iowa today to campaign.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: It was South Carolina yesterday. Bit of a rumble there.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: President interrupted at least 12 times by hecklers, but two
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of them were really bad hecklers. And then apparently they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: got assaulted by Trump fans in the audience. All right.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: In fact, one supporter hit the protester. He actually hit him.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Trump saw it and said, who's the guy that threw
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that punch? Trump said from the stage. He said, you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: reminded me of Evander Holyfeld. Trump told the senior citizen,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the guy with the punch was a senior citizen. Pretty
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: good compliment. Hey, speaking of Holyfeld, he's been traveling with Trump.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Mike Tyson traveling with Trump, campaigning with him. That's pretty good.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Remember yesterday, the day before I told you about SpaceX stock,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that they may combine with Tesla. SpaceX stock. and Tesla
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: might merge into one company that's caused the SpaceX stock
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to go up. Well, yesterday, in the conference call, Musk himself,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in the conference call, said, yes, he is considering it. Yes,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it most likely will happen. So SpaceX, Tesla will merge.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: If you got some SpaceX stock, maybe got into the IPO,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it will be a hell of a stock to have. Boy,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: George Washington Bridge, Again, a mess today. There was a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: terrible motorcycle accident, completely snarled up the George Washington Bridge.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Coming onto the bridge from Manhattan, I think it's still
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: all clogged up right now. Boy, that shooting on the bridge,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it closed down the bridge for a long time. It
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: turns out, they looked at the camera footage, the surveillance,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they could see it was road rage. And the road
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: rage led to one car, the driver pulling out a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: gun and shooting the other car. Turns out it's an ex-cop.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: This is hard to believe. It's a very strange story.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And the guy he shot looks like the nicest guy
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in the world, family man, two kids, works at Con Edison,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: been there 20 years. Everybody in the community said he's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the most wonderful family man, a great guy. How would
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you get in a road rage with that guy? And
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the guy that went crazy and shot him, an ex-cop. Now,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: even if somebody cut you off or there was road
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: rage or something like that, I mean, it happens. But
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: an ex-cop? This guy should be so well-trained and disciplined.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The last person in the world to go crazy with
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a gun should be an ex-cop. But it happened. Apparently,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the ex-cop has confessed to police. It's going to get
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: arraigned later today. We'll find out more. Hey, we'll take
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. You always love
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: getting new callers if you've never called before.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
