  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York, it's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on 710WOR. Well, it's not just any Monday,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it's the final day of summer, final full day of summer.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Autumn begins tomorrow night, 8 o'clock. Now also, this is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the week of traffic hell. It's going
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to be gridlock everywhere. Manhattan is going to be a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: mess because of the UN General Assembly. This is the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: week where all the world leaders come. This UN General
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Assembly is actually about three weeks, but this is the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: week with all the world leaders. President Trump will be
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: coming to New York about four o'clock today. And again,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: traffic nightmare everywhere. It's a holiday. It's Yom Kippur, so
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that would mean less traffic anyway. It's a Monday. which
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is the day most people don't go into the office.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So it's a slow traffic day anyway, but it's going
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to be bad today. And then tomorrow, the rest of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the week could be brutal. So work from home. Stay
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: out of Manhattan if you're driving. It's going to be
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a mess everywhere. A lot of street closures. It's not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: just around the UN. It's all over town because these
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: world leaders stay at all the different hotels all over town.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: President Trump has a meeting with Zoran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: The president's scheduled to be there. at 410. I don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: know why 410, but that's the schedule. And the meeting
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: will be about an hour. They're going to talk about
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: all sorts of New York stuff. It's strictly about New
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: York and New York City and all of that. Mamdani
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: wants $ 16 billion for housing, wants to build housing. Can
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you imagine the government? Mamdani. Can you imagine New York
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: building housing? That's why it's $ 16 billion. Now, Trump's a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: little busy right now, but He should say to him,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: let me build the housing. It'll be $ 1 billion, not
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: $ 16 billion. $ 1 billion would be the real cost. And remember,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the Trump family built more low-income housing than just about
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: anybody in the world. That's what they did for many,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: many decades. That's what Fred Trump did. Low-income housing, Brooklyn, Queens.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Let the president do it. Let his company do it. Again,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it'll be $ 1 billion, not $ 16 billion. It's a lot
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of money to waste, especially when it's coming out of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: people's paychecks, taxpayers' paychecks. So he meets with Mamdani at 4.10.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He is then scheduled to meet with French President Macron
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: at 5.30. That'll be a quick meeting because then 6 o'clock,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: there's an RNC donor reception. This is for big donors.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Tickets for this start at $ 150, 000 and up. So small
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: little meet and greet with the president. Then he goes
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to the, uh, there's a pack called MAGA Inc. Then
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: he goes to their big, uh, big gala dinner. Uh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that's tonight about seven, seven 30. So tight schedule for
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the president is expected to stay in New York city tonight.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Trump tower, which means a lot of, uh, traffic congestion
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: around there. A lot of streets will be closed up.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And then, uh, tomorrow he's got a couple of meetings, uh,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He's expected to meet with Zelensky at some point, probably tomorrow.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: He'll meet with Zelensky. He wants to talk to him
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: about a couple of things. One is ending what he
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: now calls this stupid war. As you know, oil prices
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: were going crazy, although not today. Oil is dropping. If
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, cover your ears. Oil is down now,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: way below 100. It's down to 97. It's dropped a lot.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's dropped about 10 points in the last week. Okay, Democrats,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you can uncover your ears. So one of the reasons
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that the oil has been going crazy, it's not just Iran,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the diesel prices are what's killing a lot of people.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Diesel fuel prices, that is caused strictly by Ukraine and Russia,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Ukraine-Russia war. Ukraine started bombing Russia's diesel factories, diesel facilities,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: knocking out a lot of their diesel production. So that's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: what drove the price of that up. So he's going
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to talk to Zelensky. They've already talked on the phone
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about it, but they're going to talk in person about it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Stop hitting Russian oil infrastructure. It's causing the price to spike.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: He's also said he's calling for an end to this
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: ridiculous war. So who knows? Who knows? Maybe they'll get
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: something settled here. You know, he also made this agreement
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to get total control of Greenland. Denmark will still be
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the owner of Greenland, but we'll control it. We'll do
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the security. It's a pretty good agreement, although it's very
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: similar to the agreement we already had. But this will
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: make it permanent. And this is going to be signed
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this week here in New York. All the leaders, Denmark, Trump,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: everybody will be here. So they'll get this signed and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: done this week. Now, the story that broke Friday afternoon is,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Shook up a lot of people. The president wants to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: ban MSNBC, CNN, and Politico from the White House. Now,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it sounds crazy. It's not as crazy as it sounds, though.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Other presidents have tried this. Obama tried it. Biden tried it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: It's not that unusual. It happens a lot. A reporter
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: showed up. He said Friday he was going to ban them. Well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: one of them showed up. Saturday, they got a badge,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you used to get in, you put your
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: badge up to the the card reader and it lets
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you in.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And then once I got inside to an area where
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: we place our bags and we ourselves go through magnetometers,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I went to scan my badge and enter my pin
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: number and the lights around the reader blinked red. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: tried it again. And then the officer asked me to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: hand over my badge and he said that it's been disabled.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And I asked, can you tell me why? And he
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: simply said, it's above his head.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: She's banned. Now, they've all gone to court. The trials
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: will begin today. The court hearings will begin today. It's MSNOW, CNN,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Politico will go to court. They'll sue the president. Now,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you can hear all these constitutional experts argue that he
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: can't ban the media. He can't ban news media. Well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that's very debatable. He did ban AP a long time ago,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and they've been in court. And that's been in court
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years. AP can't seem to win
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that case. The problem if they go to court is,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: let's say it's MSNBC. If they go to court, the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: president could prove in court that they've been broadcasting all
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: kinds of fake news. You can list it all. Here's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a list of like 40,000 examples of fake news that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they have broadcast. You could also argue, and they can
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: bring these all up and put them on the court record,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: all these things. Some of them they've had to pay
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: massive fines for broadcasting, just total false fake information. And
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it goes back for years. The Russia hoax was a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: great example. Uh, denying the laptop was Hunter Biden's kids
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: in cages. That was all made up. That was actually
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Obama and Biden to put them in cages. Uh, Charlottesville
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: is one of the great hoaxes of all time. He
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: told people to drink bleach. It never happened. It never happened. Um,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's a long, long list. Uh, posed for pictures at
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Arlington Cemetery. No president has ever done that. Well, it
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: took about a minute and a half to find pictures
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of every president posing for pictures in Arlington Cemetery. January 6th, why,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he just sat there watching TV all day. Absolutely false.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: In fact, 24 minutes into the January 6th incident, the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: president was already tweeting to protesters to go home. 24 minutes,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: he responded. Nick Sandman, remember Nick Sandman? That was the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: kid with the Native American rightness. Remember that told, they
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: made up a whole fake story, doctored up the pictures.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: CNN had to pay an $ 80 million settlement to Nick Sandman.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So you could go through all these examples, all these
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: examples of, here's another one. Rachel, there's a great video
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of Rachel Maddow saying, President Trump never encouraged Americans to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: get vaccinated. The video is cut together with thousands and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: thousands of times he urged people to get vaccinated. Also
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: with the video of him getting vaccinated on camera, telling
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: people to do so. They just make up stuff. Here's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: another one. Rachel Maddow. President Bush never did one interview
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: with the New York Times. He did many with the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: New York Times. Just a great example. Mitt Romney was running.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Remember when Andrea Mitchell doctored a video to make it
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: look like Romney had never seen an iPad and didn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: know what it was? It was totally false. It was
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: actually a video. Luckily Romney's people video did video of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the same speech. And then you could see the real one.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: He's holding it up and showing it to kids and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: explaining how the iPad works, but she doctored it up
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and make it sound like he'd never seen one before.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So you could make this case in court that they
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: are fake news. You could also make the case that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: they don't report deliberately. Don't report half the news, the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: positive stories they leave out. If you listen to this program,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you heard the story last week that, uh, The numbers
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: came out. Income for Americans is at an all-time high.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Poverty level, the poverty rate is at the lowest ever
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in history right now. It was a good example of
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a story they'll never, ever, ever report. So in a courtroom,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: they could have a problem. So Trump could win this case.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It'll end up going to the Supreme Court when it's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: brought in DC. in front of these crazy left-wing Democrat judges,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the president has a problem. But when it gets to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, it could get interesting. Now, the problem
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: with banning the media, if you do that, then the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Democrats have every right to do that when they get in.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: They've tried it before. Obama... He glosses over this. Obama's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: been speaking out on this for the last couple of days,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: ignoring the fact that he tried to ban Fox News.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: If you go to my Twitter, you can see all
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the video of this, of the Democrats calling for the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ban of Fox News from the White House. This one
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: great video of George Stephanopoulos and David Axelrod, two Democratic operatives,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: arguing the case to ban Fox News. Obama did ban
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: some reporters. And also, hey, Obama did something worse. Remember,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he had surveillance done on the reporters, went into their
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: phones and their Internet accounts and took everything. His Justice Department,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Eric Holder, did that. So there's another way to ban
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the reporters. Just don't talk to them ever again. That
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was the Biden ban. He just didn't. Biden wouldn't talk
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to the press ever.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: He went a year and a half without having a
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: press conference.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: A year and a half.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And what was the question you asked him most? What
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: is your favorite flavored ice cream? Okay. I think you
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: asked him that question once. What ice cream do you
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: like the best? I mean, I heard that question so
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: many times. And he always say vanilla.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Well, the president may be wrong there. I think he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: said chocolate chip a couple of times. I think he
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: said mint chip once. It was always a typical Biden.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It was a different answer every time. But you can
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ban the press. It's in effect. We'll see how long
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this lasts.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: ABC Fake News gave me $ 16 million that was agreed to.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: $ 16 million that I won from ABC News because George
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Slapadopoulos wrote incorrect stuff. CBS gave me $ 38 million because
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: they broadcast Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes and the question
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: borrowed no relationship to what she said. You saw that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they doctored up that interview. They asked her about Israel,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and she couldn't answer. She gave some fumbling, bumbling answers.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: So they cut a good answer from another part of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the interview into that, made it look like that was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: her answer. And Trump has won a lot of money.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He's up to about $ 100 million that he's gotten from
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: these fake news organizations that they were forced to pay
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: him because they couldn't go to court. They couldn't let
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: all this come out in a courtroom on the record.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: But it'll be interesting to see how long this lasts.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I don't want him in my office.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want him here.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I would say the ban would go as far as
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: you can. And if they could straighten themselves out, you know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: if they could straighten themselves out, I'd love it. Look,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: they're very dishonest people. They write in a very dishonest way. Yeah.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Now, Biden banned, I think, 44 reporters from the White House.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: They'll argue, if you're watching fake news, they'll argue, oh,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they weren't banned. They just simply didn't reapply for their credentials. Yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they were taken away and reapplied. They didn't think it
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: was going to succeed. So, hey, the big news last night,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, on 60 Minutes, it
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: was quite dramatic. It was quite moving. I don't know
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: if I believe a word this guy says. I don't know.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Do you believe anything he says? He was pretty dramatic.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: And I think when it comes to forgiveness, I also
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: felt that if I didn't get there, I would be
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: eaten up inside.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, right. I don't know, if your wife kills
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your three children, that's a lot to forgive.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I asked her if she remembered it. And what did
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: she say? She said it was like a dream. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: she remembered it much in the way you would remember
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: a dream after waking up.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not buying any of this. I'm
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: with that lone juror.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I think I did the best I could with what
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I had at the time. And I live with the outcome.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I live with it every day.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He said, I think I was as
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: good a father as I could be. If your three
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: kids are murdered by your wife, I don't think you're
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the best father in the world. It's a little hard
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to claim that now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I remember that night, I really thought there was a
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: chance that Callan would live. And I remember just thinking,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: just give me one.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: One child did go four days before he died. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that's what he's talking about.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Give me one kid. And I would raise him as
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: best I could. And I would give him the best
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: life I possibly could. And I tell him about his
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: brother and sister. And I was holding out hope for that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: And then when I got to the hospital, I saw
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: the doctor. I saw the look on her face. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I knew that it wasn't going to be a good prognosis.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was quite powerful, this interview. But I'm not
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: buying any of it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I'm so grateful for those four days that I had
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. Did
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: you talk to him in those four days?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Can you tell me anything you said? I said, I'm
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: so sorry. And I got to hold him. I got
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: to lay down next to him. And he died in
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: my arms.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously, it's very moving. It's very powerful. Very, very dramatic.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: But I'm not buying any of it from this guy.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't trust this guy at all.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: He was there at the time of the... I don't know.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, we've got a lot to get
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to this morning. It's, again, UN General Assembly Nightmare Traffic Week,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: so just beware of that. The president will get back
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to his visit with Mamdani later. You know, they talk
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a lot. They talk on the phone regularly. This will
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: be his third in-person meeting. He met with him once
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: when he was the mayor-elect, and then as mayor, remember,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Mamdani went to the White House. But they both have
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: admitted they do regularly call each other. They talk on
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the phone now and then. President Trump, that's his thing.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: He talks to anybody. He could be the leader of Iran,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the most evil enemy. He'll talk to you. In fact,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: there's a slight chance he might meet with the Iranian
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: leaders this week. Anyway, we'll get to all of that
