Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon shall On seventoor. Okay,
- 0:08Speaker 1: well it's Thursday. Lots to get to today. We'll get
- 0:12Speaker 1: to the mayoral race, a lot going on there. We'll
- 0:14Speaker 1: get to President Trump and the shutdown. We'll get to
- 0:18Speaker 1: the Yankees in the news. You got a horrific anti
- 0:22Speaker 1: Semitic terrorist attack in Manchester, England on a synagogue. Got
- 0:30Speaker 1: a crash last night, a fender bender on a runway
- 0:33Speaker 1: at La Guardia Airport. Two planes that one of the
- 0:35Speaker 1: tail hits the nose of the other. Lots of damage.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Not good, not good at all. It's jong Kapoor today,
- 0:43Speaker 1: although a little less traffic today. Restaurants packed last night.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I don't understand that they're supposed to be empty last night,
- 0:51Speaker 1: but I was on a lot of restaurants in the
- 0:53Speaker 1: world jammed last night. So the shutdown nothing will happen today.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I don't know if it's part well, in part the holiday,
- 1:04Speaker 1: but also just nothing is today. The next vote on
- 1:07Speaker 1: the shutdown on fixing this is tomorrow, Friday, eleven am.
- 1:12Speaker 1: It's not going well for the Democrats. There's a lot
- 1:15Speaker 1: of pressure on Schumer to just turn around and get
- 1:20Speaker 1: out of this ridiculous position he's put himself in. The
- 1:23Speaker 1: problem is, well, you got two problems. One, we've had
- 1:27Speaker 1: a lot of shutdowns, they happen all the time, but
- 1:30Speaker 1: this is the first time we've had when we got
- 1:32Speaker 1: two real ridiculous figures running the Democratic side. You got
- 1:37Speaker 1: Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies. Now, the problem is they're both
- 1:40Speaker 1: from New York, they're both from Brooklyn. They both come
- 1:44Speaker 1: from a liberal, far left echo chamber, and that's all
- 1:47Speaker 1: they know. These two have no contact with actual America, normal, regular,
- 1:54Speaker 1: normal Americans. They just know left wing Brooklyn, that's all
- 1:58Speaker 1: they know. Left wing Manhattan, that's all they know. So
- 2:00Speaker 1: that they exist in that bubble, and they look at
- 2:03Speaker 1: it with that perspective, which is not helping them. Schumer's
- 2:07Speaker 1: problem is he's old, tired, desperate, frightened. He's at the
- 2:10Speaker 1: end of the line. His political career is over. He
- 2:13Speaker 1: realizes it.
- 2:14Speaker 2: He's going to get wiped out if he ever tries
- 2:16Speaker 2: to run again. So he's catering to the left right now,
- 2:20Speaker 2: or he thinks he is, in an awkward, klutzy sort
- 2:23Speaker 2: of way the way he does everything. And the other
- 2:25Speaker 2: problem is he got Hakeem Jeffries who's a total humorless stiff,
- 2:30Speaker 2: just a ridiculous guy who's not an effective leader, just
- 2:34Speaker 2: speaks in these stiff proclamations. He doesn't look good on camera,
- 2:39Speaker 2: he doesn't seem real. He just looks like a mannequin.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Trump has gone after him and Schumer with the sombrero memes,
- 2:47Speaker 2: which are hysterical. If you haven't been watching he's check
- 2:50Speaker 2: my Twitter. I remember most of them are up on
- 2:52Speaker 2: my Twitter. It's Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries with the sombrero and
- 2:57Speaker 2: the mustache and the Mexican music. They're his stare recle
- 3:01Speaker 2: and very funny. Everybody's laughing at them. And Hakeem Jeffries
- 3:05Speaker 2: made a huge mistake the first day or two. He
- 3:07Speaker 2: just got pompous and so serious and uh.
- 3:11Speaker 3: It's a disgusting video, and we're going to continue to
- 3:15Speaker 3: make clai biggotry will get you nowhere.
- 3:17Speaker 2: It's a meme, it's funny, they're hysterically. Nobody can watch
- 3:20Speaker 2: them and not laugh.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Uh.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And then the fake news tried to play it up,
- 3:24Speaker 2: you know with Civan. I'm not siv jd Vans, jd
- 3:28Speaker 2: Vans and so what about these you're biggot memes.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Well, I think it's funny. The president's joking and we're
- 3:37Speaker 4: having a good time. You can negotiate in good faith
- 3:39Speaker 4: while also poking a little bit of fun at some
- 3:41Speaker 4: of the absurdities of the Democrats' positions, and even you know,
- 3:44Speaker 4: poking some fun at the absurdity of the Democrats themselves.
- 3:47Speaker 4: I mean, I'll tell Hakeem Jeffries right now, I make
- 3:50Speaker 4: this solemn promise to you that if you help us
- 3:52Speaker 4: reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.
- 3:55Speaker 2: But they're very funny. Take a look at it. They're
- 3:57Speaker 2: up on my Twitter. You can see them. Somebody must
- 4:01Speaker 2: have gotten a Hikeem Jeffries or a bunch of somebodies
- 4:05Speaker 2: and said, will you lighten up? Will you stop with
- 4:07Speaker 2: this pompous act you're doing? You look ridiculous. So now
- 4:10Speaker 2: he's trying to fight back with his own memes against Trump.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Maybe it was Gavin Newsom. Newsom has become very good
- 4:16Speaker 2: at that. He's become the king of fighting Trump fire
- 4:19Speaker 2: with Trump fire. Whatever tactics Trump uses, he'll use him
- 4:23Speaker 2: right back. Now. I guess you know, you could say,
- 4:26Speaker 2: you know you're not supposed to be if you're the
- 4:28Speaker 2: president of the United States. You're not supposed to be
- 4:30Speaker 2: like a kid putting funny memes up on TikTok. Well, yeah,
- 4:35Speaker 2: maybe that's the nineteen ninety nine rule or even the
- 4:38Speaker 2: two thousand and six rule, but it's twenty twenty five.
- 4:41Speaker 2: The game is being reinvented. And Trump, for all his
- 4:45Speaker 2: great stuff he can do as president, he is and
- 4:48Speaker 2: you can argue whether it's right or wrong, but he
- 4:51Speaker 2: is like a big kid. He's like a kid having fun.
- 4:55Speaker 2: He's still a private sector guy. He's not a you know,
- 5:00Speaker 2: formal you know, government politician, Washington formal, none of that
- 5:05Speaker 2: false formality. It's just himself. And this is what business
- 5:08Speaker 2: guys do. You know, This is what Wall Street guys
- 5:09Speaker 2: are famous for. It passing jokes around, memes around, laughing,
- 5:13Speaker 2: you know. So Trump has brought that sensibility to the
- 5:18Speaker 2: White House, and that's that might be the problem. He
- 5:21Speaker 2: you know, Trump is a cutting edge guy, leading the
- 5:23Speaker 2: way ahead of the curve. The problem with Schumer is
- 5:26Speaker 2: he still looks like it's nineteen ninety three. Even when
- 5:30Speaker 2: he makes those videos it's him on the Capitol steps
- 5:32Speaker 2: with the Capitol behind. It looks so old and how
- 5:35Speaker 2: dated and stiff. The whole fight now is Republicans have
- 5:40Speaker 2: reduced it to Democrats want health care for illegals, And
- 5:45Speaker 2: they'll argue and argue and argue, it's not true.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Republicans have shut the government down because
- 5:51Speaker 3: they don't want to provide healthcare to working class Americans.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Now, of course that's not true. So you got lives,
- 5:58Speaker 2: you know, going all over the place. There's two lies
- 6:02Speaker 2: they'll tell. Trump wants to get it to working Americans,
- 6:05Speaker 2: and the way one way you do that is get
- 6:07Speaker 2: the illegals off off the rolls there because they're draining money.
- 6:13Speaker 2: And then the other big Democrat lie they always do
- 6:16Speaker 2: is he wants to throw them off and use the
- 6:18Speaker 2: money to hand the money to his billionaire. If nobody's
- 6:21Speaker 2: handing any money to any billionaires, the last thing the
- 6:23Speaker 2: billionaires need is government handing them any money. But does
- 6:28Speaker 2: it provide health care for illegals? Yes, absolutely, absolutely, Even
- 6:33Speaker 2: Jake Tapper, you can't get more fake news, biased left
- 6:36Speaker 2: wing than Jake Tapper. Even he last night had to
- 6:40Speaker 2: admit on the air that he's carefully read it all.
- 6:43Speaker 2: It does give health care to illegals. Now it doesn't.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Trump is exaggerating when he says it hands them a
- 6:49Speaker 2: Cadillac plan. That doesn't do that. It doesn't do that
- 6:52Speaker 2: at all. But if they do get health care, if
- 6:55Speaker 2: they do go to the hospital, they will the hospitals
- 6:58Speaker 2: everybody does get reimbursed, and that would be paying for
- 7:02Speaker 2: illegals health care. So the fight will I don't know.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Friday eleven am is the next vote. It might be
- 7:09Speaker 2: over then there. I don't know who's going to be
- 7:11Speaker 2: bugging Schumer all day and night to get off this position.
- 7:15Speaker 2: He's in a weird, weird position. Everybody thinks he's totally frightened,
- 7:20Speaker 2: scared that AOC is going to wipe him out in
- 7:22Speaker 2: the next election, and he's terrified of AOC, and that's
- 7:25Speaker 2: why he's catering to them. Here's what she had to say.
- 7:28Speaker 5: There is one reason and one reason.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Well, here's Mike Johnson.
- 7:32Speaker 5: There is one reason and one reason alone that Chuck
- 7:35Speaker 5: Schumer is leading the Democrats off this cliff. He is
- 7:37Speaker 5: trying to get political cover from the far left corner
- 7:41Speaker 5: of his base. He's afraid of a challenge for his
- 7:43Speaker 5: Senate seat by AOC.
- 7:45Speaker 4: He's worried he's going to get a primary challenge from AOC.
- 7:47Speaker 5: He is afraid of AOC over a clean sard.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer is afraid of his own shadow.
- 7:54Speaker 6: And I actually think that shadow's name is AOC.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, now one at AOC. What did she say about it?
- 8:01Speaker 6: This is so not about me in this moment. If
- 8:07Speaker 6: those senators think that we're having a shutdown because of me,
- 8:10Speaker 6: they're free to enter my office and negotiate, because what
- 8:13Speaker 6: we're not going to do is allow all of millions
- 8:16Speaker 6: of people in this country to not be able to
- 8:18Speaker 6: afford their insulin and their chemotherapy. So come strike a
- 8:21Speaker 6: deal with me, if that's what they really think is
- 8:22Speaker 6: going on.
- 8:24Speaker 2: The real answer, yes, he's afraid of AOC. The problem
- 8:27Speaker 2: is he's at the end of his ropes, end of
- 8:29Speaker 2: the line. He can't get reelected. He's finished. He's another
- 8:33Speaker 2: Jerry Nadler. He's done. The Democrats hate him, they don't
- 8:36Speaker 2: want him. He's out. If AOC decides to run for Senate,
- 8:41Speaker 2: be easy as can be. She'll be able to fund.
- 8:43Speaker 2: The one secret of Schumer is his fundraising. Nobody is
- 8:46Speaker 2: bigger with taking care of billionaires and donors than Schumer.
- 8:50Speaker 2: That's all he does. Donors service, and that means billionaires,
- 8:54Speaker 2: special interests, unions. He takes care of them, as they'll
- 8:57Speaker 2: all the billionaires will tell you, Even the Republicans one
- 9:00Speaker 2: back Schumer. They'll say, I could wake this guy up
- 9:02Speaker 2: at two in the morning. He'll do anything I want.
- 9:04Speaker 2: They all have his cell number to get anything. Now
- 9:06Speaker 2: they have to give massive donations in exchange. So he's
- 9:09Speaker 2: always been the king of fundraising. That's why he was
- 9:11Speaker 2: never scared of an opponent. But AOC could be a
- 9:16Speaker 2: fundraising machine. She could raise a ton of money very
- 9:19Speaker 2: very fast. So he's terrified to her. If now it's
- 9:24Speaker 2: a way off, it's a year and a month from now.
- 9:28Speaker 2: By early next year, Schumer may realize there's nothing he
- 9:31Speaker 2: can do. It's over. He would announce. Then he's not
- 9:34Speaker 2: gonna seek reelection, and then he'd be free to go
- 9:38Speaker 2: back to the old Chuck Schumer from forty years ago.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Just act on principle, but don't count on it. Don't
- 9:45Speaker 2: count on it. Hey, the mayoral race, here's the problem.
- 9:49Speaker 2: The election is thirty three days away. Only thirty three
- 9:52Speaker 2: days till the election. Here's a bigger problem. It's only
- 9:56Speaker 2: twenty three days till early voting begins three days. The
- 10:01Speaker 2: debate is two weeks from tonight. Two weeks till the debate.
- 10:06Speaker 2: That could change things. Mom Donnie's very good in debates.
- 10:11Speaker 2: He ducks questions. It's not like he gives you solid answers,
- 10:15Speaker 2: but his manner. You know, he talks very quickly anytimes,
- 10:17Speaker 2: like he really knows what he's talking about. And if
- 10:18Speaker 2: you talk a little quicker, you can sound very smart.
- 10:21Speaker 2: And he's got a wonderful tone that makes him sound
- 10:23Speaker 2: like he's trying to help you. And Curtis is an
- 10:27Speaker 2: excellent debater. He's the only professional debater in the race.
- 10:31Speaker 2: He's been doing it for thirty five years. Cuomo talks
- 10:35Speaker 2: so slow. He's a bad debater, and he's a horrible debater.
- 10:41Speaker 2: That's why we have Mon Donni. If it hadn't been
- 10:44Speaker 2: for Cuomo, you would not have Mom Donnie. Cuomo gave
- 10:47Speaker 2: you Mom Donnie democratic debate, both of them, two of them.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Cuomo was so weak and old and tired and talks
- 10:55Speaker 2: so slow, and Mom Donnie was able to easily wipe
- 10:59Speaker 2: him out, and that's how he got the nomination. So
- 11:02Speaker 2: this could be in two weeks a bad, bad night
- 11:05Speaker 2: for Cuomo. Mam Donnie's great in debates, Curtis's great in debates.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Cuomo will talk so slow that he'll look so Cuomo
- 11:13Speaker 2: could wipe himself out in two weeks. Now you're gonna say, well,
- 11:17Speaker 2: he's gonna prepare and prepare and train, and they'll give
- 11:20Speaker 2: him write all kinds of lines for him. The youth. Well,
- 11:22Speaker 2: when he got wiped out in the first debate, they
- 11:24Speaker 2: did that for him in the second debate. And no
- 11:27Speaker 2: matter what he hit when Mom Donnie with Mom Donnie
- 11:30Speaker 2: just pounded him into the ground. So uh now, hey,
- 11:33Speaker 2: the commercials are running. Mom Donnie's got very sharp looking commercials,
- 11:38Speaker 2: very sharp, very well done. Mom Donnie is heavily financed.
- 11:42Speaker 2: You know, he keeps talking about these billionaires. Meantime he's
- 11:47Speaker 2: got billionaires all over the place back in him, big
- 11:49Speaker 2: money commercials. Cuomo has a new commercial which looks a
- 11:53Speaker 2: little silly. It looks like a very expensive commercial. It's
- 11:58Speaker 2: about the commercial says I don't know how to do
- 12:02Speaker 2: a lot. There's a lot of jobs I go. And
- 12:05Speaker 2: then it shows him working at a car wash. Then
- 12:08Speaker 2: it shows him hanging off a skyscraper as a window washer,
- 12:12Speaker 2: and then it shows him driving the subway train, all
- 12:15Speaker 2: these different looks very expensive, all these things. Well, it
- 12:18Speaker 2: turns out it was AI and it's very well done
- 12:21Speaker 2: with AI. Looks very real, but it shows him in
- 12:25Speaker 2: all these different sort of jobs. And then it comes
- 12:28Speaker 2: to but there's only one thing I know how to do,
- 12:31Speaker 2: and that's run government. But it's kind of a silly commercial.
- 12:36Speaker 2: I don't know. Now there's one that Curtis has a
- 12:39Speaker 2: lot of good commercials. They're not attacking Mamdannie so much.
- 12:43Speaker 2: They're more pro Curtis and the latest one. Half the
- 12:46Speaker 2: commercially he's got the Bereton. Half the commercially he doesn't
- 12:49Speaker 2: have the Bereton. But they're very good commercials. Mamdannie and
- 12:53Speaker 2: Curtis definitely the best commercials. Cuomo's look a little silly. Hey,
- 12:58Speaker 2: by the way, You know how they always say, ohoh,
- 13:00Speaker 2: never apologize. You know, he killed ten thousand seniors, He
- 13:04Speaker 2: killed people's grandparents and nursing homes, and a lot of
- 13:07Speaker 2: the critics say that's his main problem. He's never been
- 13:10Speaker 2: able to apologize. He can't admit to it, he can't apologize,
- 13:14Speaker 2: and that's been the case. But he made a video
- 13:20Speaker 2: apologizing to the Jewish community, the Orthodox Jewish community. He
- 13:25Speaker 2: made this video and distributed it just within the private
- 13:28Speaker 2: Orthodox community. You can find it online if you're looking
- 13:32Speaker 2: for it. But he apologizes to them. He said, I
- 13:35Speaker 2: sincerely apologize. He apologizes for the lockdown and what he
- 13:39Speaker 2: did and how he locked everything down, and he said,
- 13:42Speaker 2: I didn't realize how he was interfering with some religious
- 13:46Speaker 2: practices of yours and some important cultural traditions of yours.
- 13:50Speaker 2: And I sincerely apology was very, very sincere apology, but
- 13:54Speaker 2: just for this one group. And the problem is is
- 13:58Speaker 2: that starts to leak out the seniors that were killed,
- 14:02Speaker 2: all the people that had people killed, robbed, raped, or
- 14:06Speaker 2: became crime victims as a result of Cuomo's no bail,
- 14:09Speaker 2: no jail. They're all gonna say, where's our apology, where's
- 14:12Speaker 2: our apology video? How come we didn't get it? Hey?
- 14:15Speaker 2: Speaking of which, great speech by Ray Kelly yesterday for
- 14:19Speaker 2: our Police Athletical League lunch and Ray Kelly the greatest
- 14:21Speaker 2: police commissioner ever. But you know, Mamdani, everything he proposes
- 14:26Speaker 2: is a complete hoax. I'm gonna make free, the buses
- 14:30Speaker 2: will be free. He has no power to make the
- 14:32Speaker 2: buses free. It's the MTA or whatever he's proposing, he
- 14:37Speaker 2: has no power to do it. Now, one of the
- 14:39Speaker 2: big proposals, I'm gonna have social workers answer domestic violence calls. Now,
- 14:45Speaker 2: you know, any cop will tell you the most dangerous
- 14:47Speaker 2: thing you can respond to is these domestic violence calls.
- 14:50Speaker 2: That's where there's a gun and knife, a bat. It's
- 14:52Speaker 2: really dangerous. So he keeps talking about that we don't
- 14:55Speaker 2: need to send the cops and will send in social workers.
- 15:00Speaker 2: So Ray Kelly points out, now, nobody knows policing and
- 15:03Speaker 2: law enforcement better than Ray Kelly, and he's been doing
- 15:06Speaker 2: it for years and years and years, points out, and
- 15:09Speaker 2: I didn't realize this. The police department, the NYPD has
- 15:12Speaker 2: tried that dozens of times over thirty years. They've tried
- 15:16Speaker 2: it a number of times. They've tried it over and
- 15:19Speaker 2: over and over again. A doesn't work and b ends
- 15:22Speaker 2: up in a total disaster for these healthcare workers. Also,
- 15:26Speaker 2: one of the reasons they have a problem with it,
- 15:29Speaker 2: the social workers won't do it. They don't want to
- 15:31Speaker 2: go into one of these the most dangerous police call
- 15:34Speaker 2: there is without police with them. They don't want to
- 15:37Speaker 2: do it. So he also pointed out Memphis just tried
- 15:39Speaker 2: it and it ended in total disaster. It never ever
- 15:43Speaker 2: ever works. But that's a Mamdani theme. Socialism, whatever doesn't
- 15:48Speaker 2: work everywhere it's tried. That's what I'm proposing. Hey, we'll
- 15:52Speaker 2: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two, one
- 15:55Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two,
- 15:58Speaker 2: one zero seven Done,
