• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now on The Voice of New York, it's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Friday. That's the good news. It's going to
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: be a beautiful autumn weekend. We've got a lot to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: get to today. We'll get to the horses. We'll get
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to Elon Omar. We'll get to Bruce Blakeman. We'll get
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: to the real polls. We'll get to Vivek Ramaswamy. This
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: ad controversy is hysterical. It's the double standard at its best.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: A lot to get to today. So the horses are
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: gone as of, what's the actual date? 2028. June 1st, 2028.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: No horses will be allowed anywhere in New York City.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: No horse-drawn carriages anywhere in New York City. City Council
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: voted yesterday. It passed the resolution to get rid of
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the horses. As we told you, the Speaker won't do
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the votes unless it's all prearranged, don't they? They do
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of vote counting first, make sure they got
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the votes. Then they hold the whole thing. So it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: was 40 to 7 to get rid of the horses,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: 40 to 7. Two council members abstain. The ban will
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: take place June 1st, 2028. You know, A while back,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: they restricted the horses outside of Central Park. You could
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: be in Central Park, but not out in the streets,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: which was a good idea. That was the best idea.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And right now, it's 200 carriage drivers, 200 horses and buggies.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Carriage industry workers fought hard. Now, they are going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: file a lawsuit. And you never know. You never know.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: They might prevail in the lawsuit. Although, if you're a city,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I would think you've got the power to restrict whatever
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you want to restrict in certain parts of your city.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: President Trump got into the mix. President Trump came in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to defend those horses and carriages, tweeting out, it's a
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: great tradition. He attacked the city council for banning him
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: on Twitter and Truth Social. He wrote, the horse-drawn carriage
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in New York City is a quintessential New York experience.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: So sad that for political reasons, we'll see it go.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So sad to see the beloved Central Park horse-drawn carriage
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: industry ending after over a century. based largely on one
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: tragic accident that's the key to all this there really
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: is no safety problem with the horses none there was
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: one death you saw it a year but that's the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: only one in a hundred years one death from horses
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in a hundred years in central park e-bikes killed 133
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: people in just seven years so once again one death
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: from the horses in a hundred years E-bikes in Central Park,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: 133 deaths in seven years. So which one should you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: really be getting rid of? The horse-drawn carriages, they don't
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: know what they're going to do. They got a year
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and a half to find something else to do. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: imagine you'll see them, if the lawsuit's not successful, you'll
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: see them disappearing one by one by one as drivers
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: find something else to do. They find some place to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: sell the horse or the carriage. Now, there's got to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: be horse-drawn carriages somewhere else in America. You could go there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: City Council, they're very proud of what they did. Now,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: there's a union for these horse-drawn carriages. They're the ones
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that will push this lawsuit. And they're the ones claiming
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that this is all about real estate. The horses are
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: not kept in Central Park. They're kept in stables on
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the west side of Manhattan. One is next to the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Javits Center. One of the stables is next to Hudson Yards.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: These are big places, these stables. So because one's next
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to the Javits Center, because one is next to Hudson Yards,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: they could be very valuable real estate. If you tore
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: down the stable, they could be a place for another skyscraper.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Very valuable real estate. So the unions and the drivers
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: are claiming it's all for these real estate developers. There's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a couple of them. And I guess they'll try to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: look into it. Donations. There are a couple of people
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: now looking at all this. The big real estate interest.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Did they donate to these city council people? Especially Julie Menon,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: speaker of the city council, because she was all for
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the horses a while back. Now she's all against the horses.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Was it real estate developers getting to her? There's one
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: real estate developer, Steve Nislick. He has repeatedly denied any
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: hidden real estate motives. stating they have zero personal interest
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in acquiring or developing the stable sites. There you go.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: A real estate developer wouldn't mislead you, would he? I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: don't think so. Anyway, here's Julie Mennon, city council speaker.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: They don't belong in an area that attracts 42 million
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: people a year, pulling a 1,000-pound carriage in record-breaking heat.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It's record-breaking heat two days a year. Also, they've been
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: operating for 100 years and there have been no issues,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: no safety. Well, there was that one incident, but that's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: once in 100 years. That's the most incredible safety record ever.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But the city council.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: It's a tragedy for everybody in this business.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: It's a tragedy for the horses.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: It's a tragedy for the city of New York.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: But that being said, we are not done yet.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. We'll see. Uh, let me see. Here's some,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: here's some more people on this though.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't, uh, put my.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: My best friend in risk.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: And that's what I, I, I want these people to
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: understand that it is not about the love they have
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: for the animals.
• 5:54
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And, uh, they know they're animals and, but, but we're
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: putting them in risk. Uh, I don't know. I look
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: at those horse drawn carriages. I'm in central park like
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: five days a week. I, I, you look at the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: horse carriage. Nobody looks at that and goes, oh, my God,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that looks dangerous. If this is the problem, shut down
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: those roller coasters. You ever see these rides they have
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: in amusement parks? That looks scary. The horse and carriage
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: going half a mile an hour, 90-year-old horse clip-clopping slow.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Nobody looks at that and said, oh, my God, this
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: looks dangerous. I don't think there's any risk. Again, one incident,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: one death in 100 years. Outside of that, accidents, I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: sure there have been a couple that Very, very, very few.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I think if these people truly do love their horses,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I've been around horses. I volunteer at sanctuaries. I take
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: care of horses. They do best when they're in a
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: field where they're able to be with their friends and
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: run around and do everything a horse would love to
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: do naturally where they can't get that here.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's not the worst job in the world.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I would think the worst thing is being a racehorse.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: There's a guy on your back whipping you. screaming at you,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: kicking you. To me, that's a bad job. You look
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: at the horses in Central Park with the carriages. They
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: don't look too thrilled. They don't look like it's the,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it's not the greatest job in the world, lugging a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: bunch of tourists around all day long. But it's like
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: being a cab driver. You know, you look at the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: cab drivers, nice people, but they don't look like they're
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: having the time of their life. They don't look like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: they're beaming, thrilled to be doing this. You're stuck in,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: you ever drive in New York City? Oh my God,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: stuck in that bumper to bumper. Imagine doing that eight
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: hours a day. It's annoying. So I guess if you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a horse, yeah, you'd rather be out in the field
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, out in the sun, than have a bunch
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of tourists and go, you know, you're going half a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: mile an hour through Central Park, dodging bikes and everything.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: It's more dangerous for the horses with those e-bikes all
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: over the place.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: For months, our family hasn't been allowed to just grieve.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: We've had to fight.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You've had to channel our devastating sorrow into a bore
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: for change. All right. I don't know what he's saying,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: but that's one of the horse guys. And, well, we
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: wish them all luck. But again, the lawsuit, who knows?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe it'll have some success. You know who's in real
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: trouble is Ilan Omar. Ilan Omar's got a lot of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: trouble ahead of her and probably a million dollars in
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: legal bills ahead of her. All sorts of stuff coming
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: out now. Besides all the other stuff, and being married
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to her brother, apparently they got her DNA. They got
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the brother's DNA. They got warrants to go through their garbage.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And in the garbage, besides finding documents and bills and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff in people's garbage, it's the first
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: thing a private eye does when he's looking at you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Go steal your garbage. There's a lot of stuff in there.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: You know, when you throw away your letters, your credit
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: card bills, all that stuff. It's in your garbage. But
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: also in there is your DNA because everything in there
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: has been touched by you. So they got her DNA.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Same thing with the brothers. So they'll figure this out. Now,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the other big thing that's come out, they seem to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: have proved, proven that her name is not Ilhan Omar,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that she long ago made up this name Ilhan Omar,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that she's actually Ilhan Nursad Elmi. Now, why would you
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: change that name? That's got a got a ring to it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Elon Nur Syed Elmi. I guess you wanted something simpler,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: something more American. So she changed it to Elon Omar.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: But it's not her name, according to according to the feds.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And in the documents, they say they've proven they say
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: they've proven that that's actually her real name. Now, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: funny thing is, that's her real name from birth. The
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: brother seems to have the same last name, so that
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: would make this even more suspicious. Legal experts say if
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: she has lived in the United States her entire life
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: here under an alias, it creates all kinds of legal
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: implications for her, all kinds of trouble for her. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: expect her. According to every source that got her, expect
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: her to be deported. She could end up in jail, actually.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And expect her to be removed. You can't be in Congress.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You can't be serving if you're there under a phony name.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: If your citizenship status isn't right, she can be removed, deported,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: or jailed. Some of this is coming up. Hey, Vivek
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Ramaswamy in Ohio ran this ad. The Republican candidate is
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton, a Democrat. The Democrat candidate is Amy Acton.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And the mother apparently did a lot of interviews saying
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: her daughter's a liar, her daughter's terrible. So they got
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: her to do a commercial. They had her record a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: commercial where the mother said, you know, I love my daughter,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: but she's been lying to you. She's lied about this.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: She's lied about that. Don't vote for her. She's got problems.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: She needs help. They ran that as a commercial. So
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: now the Democrats go nuts, absolutely nuts. And they said,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: this has crossed the line that nobody's ever crossed. This
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: has crossed the line like you should never cross. When
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I'm watching Morning Joe this morning, they have that That
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: dopey Donnie Deutsch IQ of like maybe, maybe, maybe 100, maybe.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And he's a former advertising guy. And he said, this
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: is the dirtiest political ad ever. This ad will go
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: down in the history books. Nobody has ever done a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: dirtier ad than this ad. Now, of course, it's the corrupt,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: biased Morning Joe show. So at the end of his rant,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: nobody says to him, Well, why was it okay when
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: they did it to RFK Jr.? Nobody asked that, of course.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Remember when RFK Jr. was running, they had Caroline Kennedy
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: record an ad denouncing him. They had everybody in the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Kennedy family record ads denouncing RFK Jr. And nobody brought
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: that up. So if the Democrats are going to be mad,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: they should be mad at the plagiarism. They stole a
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Democrat technique. Get family members to go after him. Is
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: this President Trump talking about it? I know one thing.
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: If my mother said that about me, it would be
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: you would have hit gold.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: You would have been very happy about it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: So I know nothing about it other than the mother
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: said horrible things about a person that's running for governor
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of a great state, a great state.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And if it's even a little bit true, you don't
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: want her as governor.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, the other thing is President Trump forgot something.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: He forgot they did that to him, too. They did
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it to him. Remember they dragged out some cousin. What
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: was her name? Mary Trump. They dragged out this cousin
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: to say all kinds of horrible things about Trump, that
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: he was evil. He was a liar. He was a crook.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: He was just anything she could say. And then they
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: dragged her onto every show, a whole hour with Rachel Maddow,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a whole hour with morning Joe. They used her in commercials.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: They had her on every TV shows. Now, the funny
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: thing about that, she's the cousin of Donald Trump, but
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: she never actually met him. She was, uh, An outcast
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: for the Donald Trump side of the family. She never
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: even met him. Never met him. She was once in
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the same room with him at the White House for
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: some big, huge, hundreds of people in a gathering, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: never actually met. Don Jr. told me he's never met her.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: But they used her all over television against Trump, a relative.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: So they did it to him. And he's right. If
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: they got his mother to do that ad, they would
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: have been pushing that ad everywhere. So it's the double
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: standard Democrats are famous for. Bruce Blakeman doing very, very,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: very well. He got the endorsement of the New York
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Post today. Now, that's great, but endorsements mean absolutely nothing.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe in the 1950s it might have helped, but if
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: you check the New York Times endorsements, They have a
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: track record of 97% of their endorsements lose, something like that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Remember Hillary Clinton for president? Every newspaper in America endorsed her.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: She had the endorsement of every major newspaper in America.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: And lost, of course. Lost big. So the endorsements mean nothing.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Same thing with the union endorsements. Maybe, maybe if you
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: got the police union, the police endorse you. Well, maybe
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: you could brag about that. But otherwise, endorsements don't mean anything.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: That was one of the problems with Cuomo. Besides the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: fact that he was the most hated guy in New York,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: besides the fact nobody ever wanted him in office again,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: he kept doing this old 1960s kind of campaign where, oh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the plumbers union has endorsed me. I just got the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: endorsement of the concrete workers' union. They're like, nobody cares
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: about this stuff. But Blakeman is doing very, very well.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Coming up later in the show, we'll have the world's
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: best pollster, the real pollster, give us all the latest numbers.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: This George Washington Bridge shooting, wow, just a horrible case. Well,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a moment. We've got a
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: lot more to get to. That's Mark Simone here. Three
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: hours every day. It's nine to noon, three hours every day.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. Mark Simone.
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: Mr.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. Well, the president on the road every day.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Every day going to a different state. Campaigning hard for
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the midterms. Today in the afternoon he'll go to Florida.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: A big rally. Fort Myers, Florida. This afternoon. And then
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: as long as he's in Florida. Normally flies home. Sleeps
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: in the White House. And then goes out the next
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: day for another state. Well, because he's in Florida, he'll
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: go to Mar-a-Lago and sleep there tonight. And he'll be
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: in Palm Beach tomorrow morning. Now, all you old yentas
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: at Mar-a-Lago, don't get excited. You think, oh, my God,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: he'll be here tonight. No, actually, he's going to be
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: in Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago. But in the afternoon, he's
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: going to Georgia for a rally there. He'll do that. Uh,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and then I think he comes back to get the schedule.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He comes back to Palm beach. Uh, he may be
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: there on Sunday. So, uh, if you've never been to Mar-a-Lago,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of old ladies who chased the president
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: around the room. Uh, hang on, let me see. Where's Sunday? Uh, uh, yeah,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Oh no, wait, I'm sorry. You had a look on Sunday.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: He'll wake up in Palm Beach, but then Sunday he's
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: going to Michigan. He'll do rallies in Michigan. Can you
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: imagine that? This is one weekend. Fort Myers, Florida, rally Friday.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Georgia rally Saturday. Michigan rally on Sunday. So Mar-a-Lago stays.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: It's closed all summer. You know, right after Mother's Day,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: it closes down. The club's closed. And it reopens Halloween weekend.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: So next weekend it officially reopens. But again, The campaign
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: will still be on, so I imagine he'll be doing
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: rallies and he will not be there for you women
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to chase him around the room. And we'll get to
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the best pollster in the world a little later in
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the show. He'll give us the latest numbers. It looks
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: very good for the Senate. Republicans, excellent chance of keeping
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the Senate. The House, don't listen to anybody's opinion. It's
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: too close to call. In the real polls, it's just
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: too close to call right now. The horrible shooting on
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the George Washington Bridge. Nobody can still believe this happened.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen road rage where somebody goes crazy
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and shoots somebody, but it's an ex-cop, usually a guy
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: that's been on the force 20 years, pretty disciplined, pretty careful.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: You don't expect an ex-cop to be recklessly using his gun.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: But it appears that's what happened. It appears that's what happened. Now,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: you know, when you go up the West Side Highway...
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: and you want to go to the George Washington Bridge,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: you take that exit for the George Washington Bridge, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: then as you come over that exit, it circles around
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to the bridge. As you're circling around, it becomes the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: most confusing thing in New York City roadways because there's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: three lanes, and then all these signs hit you real fast.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: If you want to take the Cross Bronx, take the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: right lane. If you're George Washington Bridge, lower level, take
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the left lane. bridge upper level, take the middle lane.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: So it happens real fast. All of a sudden, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and then it's kind of stupid. I don't know why
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: they haven't fixed it. So it's like three lanes, crowded
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: lanes of traffic that all have to merge real fast.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: So you could cut somebody off without even realizing it
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: or intending to. The guy that was killed, everybody agrees,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: was the nicest man in the world, family man, lived
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: in Rockland County, really nice man. So, He's not going
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to be an aggressive or a bad driver. Apparently, and again,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: you've got to merge so fast in those lanes there.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He must have cut this guy off without intending to.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And maybe he might've done it and not even realized
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: he did it. It's that confusing there. So the off-duty
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: cop apparently chased him. They can see in the video.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: He then chased the guy tailgating him and very, very
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: aggressively tailgating him and flashing his lights into this guy's car.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So the guy might not know he cut him off.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Might think this is some nut following him. He just
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: kept going. And then the off-duty cop pulls up like
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: alongside him and tries to smash him into the barricade,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: takes out his gun and shoots him and flees the scene.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: They got enough security cameras, their surveillance cameras, that they
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: could find a good picture of the license plate in
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the car. It was a Range Rover. They got the plate.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: They traced it to where he lives upstate with his wife.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: He's got a daughter who's in college. They went up there,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: searched the house, arrested the guy. It turns out he's
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: an off-duty cop now, or a former cop, an ex-cop.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: When you're an ex-cop or a cop, you know, obviously
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you're going to get better treatment from the police department,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: and that's understandable. They're going to take care of their own.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So he had to go into court yesterday for the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: first time. Reporters were there to get a look at
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the guy, Romero, get pictures, get a look at him.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: He never appeared, except in the courtroom, which means they
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: snuck him in some secret back entrance so he wouldn't
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: have to do a perp walk. So the press couldn't
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: see him. Police did that as a courtesy to him
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: because he's an ex-cop. People were upset about that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 14: Did you see him do a perp walk in there
• 21:20
  Speaker 14: just now? That was a modified perp walk, right? He
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: had on a nice outfit. He looked clean cut. He
• 21:29
  Speaker 14: looked very different from every other defendant that you saw
• 21:33
  Speaker 14: in that courtroom before he was arraigned. So the preferential
• 21:36
  Speaker 14: treatment is how he's presented to Judge McGrath.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Today, listen, every defendant, you know, vicious mugger, dirty gangman,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: you know, as soon as you see him in court,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: he's got a Brooks Brothers suit on, and you can
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: tell the guy's never had a suit on in his life,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and he feels uncomfortable. So they didn't bring him, they
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: got him into the courtroom without coming through the hallways,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: without coming through the lobby there where anybody could see him.
• 21:58
  Speaker 14: Do any of you have a picture of Victor Romero?
• 22:02
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: So, Victor Romero's Complete identity was scrubbed from the Internet
• 22:09
  Speaker 14: prior to him being arrested.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somehow they got everything offline and they got him
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: into the courtroom so nobody could get a picture of him.
• 22:16
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: It's an ex-cop that happens. The family of the guy
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: that was killed, Irvine, seems to be a wonderful family man.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: The family was all there. Crying, obviously.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: They say that he's.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: Not a flight risk. We can't take his passport away.
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: He fled the scene and left my brother to die.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, not a flight risk. I guess he's not
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: a flight risk. They did have a million dollar bail
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: on the guy. He didn't take his passport.
• 22:49
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: That is a little unusual.
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: And to go home and have dinner that same night
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: and my brother was not able to have dinner with
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: his children or his wife.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That's so tough to have to watch the family go
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: through this. So this guy, this ex-cop was doing security work.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: He left the force about 25 years ago. He's been
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: doing security work. His most recent job he's been on
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: for a while. working for a big financial firm, biotech
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: energy investment, big financial firm. And he worked as a
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: security and driver for the CEO of the company. And
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that's where the Range Rover came from. It belonged to
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the company. That's the car the CEO had. So this guy,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the ex-cop, every day, he would take the car home
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and drive in with it, the Range Rover, pick up
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: his boss and drive him around all day. A lot
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: of guys like that, big CEOs, they always have a
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: driver who's an ex-cop. That way he's armed. He's got
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: a badge. Has he got an ex-cop who's trained in security,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: got a gun, perfect protection. Also, if he's an ex-cop
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: and you're driving somewhere and they're closing the street, you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: can't make a left turn, he's an ex-cop. He can
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: hold up his badge. You can always go right through.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: So almost every CEO, it's an ex-cop driving them. But
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the CEO, no comment from him. No comment at all.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: That's a terrible, terrible case. I mean, I don't know
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: how this guy defends this. There was fighting over whether
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: it's murder, whether it's manslaughter. Illegal experts say... Come run!
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to it. We'll get legal experts saying
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the argument will be, how could you fire right into
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: somebody's car, aim at them, and not call that murder? Anyway,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to this tragic story. We have a
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: lot more to get to. We'll take some calls coming up.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Simone here. Six, I mean, ooh, I scared
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: myself for a moment. No, no, no, not six. Nine
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: to noon. Nine to noon every day. Three hours every
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: day on 710WOR. Now, more Mark.
• 25:02
  Speaker 17: Mark Simone.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Now, nine till noon weekdays.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. Hey, we'll take some calls.
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: 800- 3-2-1-0-7-10. Look at this. Monica Lewinsky is secretly shopping
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a book around. A tell-all book. That means she's gotten
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: herself a book agent, and they're contacting publishers. That means
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: she's looking for money, big money, big advance. Well, you
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: could get a... She may have waited too long to
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: get a lot of money. Years ago, Bill Clinton was
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: still a big deal, even out of office. He was
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: the leader of the Democrat party, but that's over with.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Even Democrats pay no attention to him anymore. He's really
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: old news. So that brings down the possible advance money
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: she could get for a book. Now, if you're Bill
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Clinton and you're in Chappaqua and you're reading that she's
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: writing a tell-all book, you are saying to yourself, oh
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: my God, this is not good. This is not going
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: to be good. This is going to be a problem.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: You're on the phone with a bunch of people. What
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the hell can we do about it? Can you stop
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: or is there any way to stop? So I don't
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: know what they're going to do about this. But again,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: for publishers, it's kind of old news. It's like writing
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: a tell-all book about Jimmy Carter. You're a little late
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: on this. But it's pretty good juicy sex in this book.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: It's taking place right in the Oval Office. So there
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: will be publishers that will be interested in this. Now,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the thing is, when you go to a publisher and
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: you show them what you're going to say, they're going
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to say it's not enough. You've got to tell more.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: And she's going to do that. Well, I don't want
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to go into detail about this. If you want money
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: for an advance, you're going to have to go into
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: excruciating detail. So we'll see what happens with the book.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: how are you doing? Hey, what's going on? I can't.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: The button doesn't work. Hey. Mike, you there?
• 27:09
  Speaker 16: Good morning, Mark.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: Yes, good morning, Mark.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Go ahead, Mike.
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: I'm completely unrelated to the news of the day.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: We like that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: I was watching an old movie. I was watching an
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: old movie with Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley. I was
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: wondering if you knew Newley and if you were a fan.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: I mean, he wrote some pretty great songs in his.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Anthony Newley was a great singer. He was a
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: superstar singer, nightclub singer in Las Vegas, all that, and...
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: He was a great songwriter. He wrote What Kind of
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Fool Am I, Once in a Lifetime. He wrote Million
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Broadway Shows.
• 27:46
  Speaker 16: Who Can I Turn To?
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Who Can I Turn To? He wrote Candyman. The Candyman,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate. But he was also one
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: of the funniest guys in the world. Could have made
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: a living as a comedian. And he was always a
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: guest on my show. And if you remember, Steve Allen
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and I did a radio show for a few years.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Anthony Newley was a regular with all the big comedians
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: on the show and was as funny as anybody.
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you can tell. There's a couple of video clips
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: on YouTube with he and Sammy, and you could tell
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: they just were killing each other. They just loved being
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: in each other's company. I mean, whether it was singing
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: or just goofing around, they both seemed to be genuinely
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: enamored of the other.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a very handsome guy, and when he sang,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: it was a little schmaltzy kind of... Yes. But in
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: the 60s... I loved it. Yeah, no, that was big
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: in the 60s. Steve Lawrence, Edie Gourmet, it was a
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: very schmaltzy kind of singing, but that's what people loved
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: in the 60s. But he was a wonderful guy, Anthony Newley.
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: Hey, Richard Harris had that... MacArthur Park, for heaven's sake,
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: couldn't be any more schmaltzy than that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: But that wasn't schmaltzy, that was dramatic. That's what Jimmy
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Webb wanted, like a dramatic actor to do it.
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: Yes, very true.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right. Great question, Mike. Thanks for calling. Let's
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: go to Sal in Westchester. Sal, how are you doing?
• 29:08
  Speaker 18: Hey, Mark.
• 29:09
  Speaker 19: Those recent allegations against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar that she married
• 29:13
  Speaker 19: her gay brother and that they cover up their women
• 29:19
  Speaker 19: so that their femininity can't be exposed.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think she has to worry about that, but
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 29:27
  Speaker 19: But it kind of tells you something that might be
• 29:30
  Speaker 19: being gay and Islam is kind of one and the same.
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Let's go to Harrison.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: in Hewlett. Harrison, how you doing?
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: Hey, good, Mark.
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: Good morning. I just wanted to comment on that pizza
• 29:47
  Speaker 12: list and say that besides Connecticut being that low, How
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: could Michigan and Illinois be below Connecticut when they have
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: amazing pizza, too?
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: No, they don't have amazing pizza. Chicago's got that deep
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: dish pizza.
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: It's interesting.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: It's not amazing. I'm from Michigan. They don't have any
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: great pizza there.
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: Detroit has some good spots, though.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: That's good. It's not amazing. It's not great. Your problem
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: is Long Island. Long Island, you've got all kinds of
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the greatest food in the world, but you're way behind
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: in pizza. Why don't they have great pizza in Long Island?
• 30:20
  Speaker 16: I don't get it.
• 30:21
  Speaker 12: I still find the best pizza is in Queens, Danny's.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: New Park.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, you're right. And, you know, even Dave Portnoy,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: who's the best pizza reviewer in the world, has talked
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: about this at great length. Why doesn't Long Island have
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: decent pizza? I mean, they got decent pizza. They got
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: good pizza. They don't have any great pizza. And as
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: he points out, the problem is, for some reason in
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Long Island, they never knew how to get the undercarriage right.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Nice and crispy and.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Pizza in long island is too doughy and too soft
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: and there's a restaurant in huntington posto patso they make
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the best pizza you'll ever have but it's a restaurant
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: they're not there to sell pizza you can't go in
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: and get a slice but i'm talking about uh just
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: getting a slice for some reason long island is way
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: behind where they should be let's go to uh eddie
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: in nassau county eddie how you doing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 16: All right, good morning.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: I'd just like to know, when are they going to
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: write a book about Joe Biden and his sellout racketeers,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: who probably did better than Benedict Donald or Robert.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: There's already a number of books about it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: How come the guy isn't in jail, since nobody's above
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: the law?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Well, he probably should be. But no, there's many great
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: books have been written about it. Check Miranda Devine's book,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: The Big Guy. That's what that's about. It's a big bestseller.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: How about he's.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: Not busting rocks in Leavenworth?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he could bust rocks. I don't know.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 31:47
  Speaker 16: Know.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: You want to send him to prison? Just destroy his reputation.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: That's the best thing. I mean, a guy like that,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: first of all, you put him in prison, you wouldn't
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: know he's in prison. There's no where he is. So
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: what's the difference? Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 32:01
  Speaker 16: Good morning, Mark.
• 32:02
  Speaker 20: Hope you're having a good day. For many years, they've
• 32:05
  Speaker 20: been trying to close the stables down, and no mayor
• 32:08
  Speaker 20: has been willing to do that. What I'm curious about,
• 32:11
  Speaker 20: do you see any chance that there will be an
• 32:13
  Speaker 20: investigation against the actual real estate owners of the properties
• 32:17
  Speaker 20: where the stables are? Because once the stables close, they're
• 32:21
  Speaker 20: the ones that come out making the big bucks.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't know that they're making big bucks. No
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: one knows that. And they all say they're not going
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: to do anything and make any bucks. We don't know.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: But did they influence this decision? there are people looking
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: into it as we speak. It began last night. There
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: are people looking into, did any of the real estate
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: developers make big donations to the city council to sway
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: their votes? Nobody can figure out why Julie Menon, who
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: was for the horses, now is against them. I don't know.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: She looks pretty honest to me, but who knows? They'll
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: check into the real estate interests and were they making donations?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Did they do anything to change the vote? We'll see.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: We'll find out. One more real fast. Joe in Hoboken,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: what do you want to say, Joe?
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Hi, Mark.
• 33:09
  Speaker 21: Real quick on the pizza debate.
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 33:11
  Speaker 22: Porto and Jersey City makes their own mozzarella and ricotta,
• 33:15
  Speaker 22: so I recommend Porto.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no. New York, obviously the best pizza state.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Jersey could be second. It's either Connecticut or New Jersey.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: You'd have to give it to Jersey. They have more
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: great pizza. Connecticut's got three or four world-class places. Frank Pepe... Sally's,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: but New Jersey has six or seven of the finest
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: pizzas in the world. Just check Dave Portnoy's reviews. You
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: can find out where they are. We've got a lot
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: to get to, another two hours to go. And then
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: at noon, it's Buck and Clay with an excellent show
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: every day. The most listened to radio show in America,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Sean Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six. Every night
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: at nine, we've got Jimmy Fallon. It's a very smart show.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: He makes really great points, but it's also the funniest
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: show on radio. Nine to midnight. Here on 710WOR.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR Life Back Studios.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh. 60 degrees and sunny today. Ah, they've raised the
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: temperature for the weekend. It'll be in the 60s now.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Low 60s all weekend. And bright, bright sunshine for the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: next five days. Five days of bright sunshine. Temperature in
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the 60s. Great autumn weather. The leaves are turning. Not
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: in New York City, but as soon as you get
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: up in the Westchester, those leaves are changing. It's beautiful
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: up there. We've got two more hours to go. I'm
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: on three hours a day now. Nine to noon. Nine
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: to noon every day. And we'll be back right after
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the news on 710WOR.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now nine till noon weekdays.
• 34:52
  Speaker 11: Much more Mark on 710WOR.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Hi, another hour? Actually, another two hours to go. Three
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: hours every day, nine to noon every day. So, I
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: remember yesterday I was telling you about Politico. It's this
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: big political website, Politico. It's got the reputation of this
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: is the real Washington insider, real political news and political information,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: very revered Politico. It's actually a very biased, slanted, very
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: left-wing site. And you can't believe anything. I mean, you
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: can't believe everything they say. So it was Politico that
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: started the whole thing about Susie Wiles, White House Chief
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: of Staff. is out, Trump is going to fire her.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: It's going to happen any day now. Uh, and everybody
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: ran with it because it's the very prestigious Politico that
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: reporting this, that Susie Wiles is out. It's hard to
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: believe she'd been with them for so many years, such
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: a trusted right-hand, uh, Campbell, but, but that Politico, you
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: have to, you have to, it's in Politico. You have to,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Politico is the most biased Trump hating site. Anyway, uh,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: the story was false. And as I told you yesterday,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the Trump White House counsel contacted Politico and told them
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: that Trump demanded an apology. They admit the story was wrong.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: He wanted a correction within 48 hours or there would
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: be consequences for Politico. I guess meaning that they would
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: sue them. And it's one thing to get sued, but
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: it's another thing when it's the president of the United
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: States and the White House suing you and who knows
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: what else they could do to you. So Politico backed
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: down immediately. They did issue a correction yesterday. Politico issued
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: a correction on the story, saying an earlier version mischaracterized
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Weill's involvement and admitting she did not play a direct role. Yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the other thing, this is the other thing. If you
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: read Politico, you found out. Remember that Katie Zakaria did
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: that interview on Hannity that was very damaging to her? Well,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: if you read Politico, it told you that this was
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Susie Wiles, that behind the scenes, she's the one that
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: arranged it. It was Susie Wiles that set it up. Well,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Politico admitted it's not true. There's another fault. Two corrections.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Another fake story they printed. They actually admitted, quote, she
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: did not play a direct role in setting up the interview,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: which means she had absolutely nothing to do with it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: So they have confessed. However, their attorney has put out
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: a statement, written a letter to the White House, mad
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: at them for trying to chill and punish the outlet's
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: reporting because it believes the coverage of Trump is too negative. Well,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: it's not a case of believing. Just read Politico. It's
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: not too negative. It's completely negative. It's nonstop negative. It's
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: not a belief. It's a fact. Politico, it says, Politico
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: categorically rejects the false accusations in your letter that it
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: chose to publish fanciful fiction and purposeful falsehoods designed to
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: mislead the public. Well, that's exactly what you did, though.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: And see, if you're saying would never intend to do that, well,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: that would mean you were just stupid and you got
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: it wrong. I don't know which is better. It's probably
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: better to say you did it deliberately. It's actually much
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: worse if you admit you're just dumb, you don't know
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: what the hell you're doing, and you got the story
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: all wrong. If that's the case, why should we trust
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: you on any other story? The letter goes on. Politico
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: categorically rejects the false accusations in your letter. That said,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Politico takes seriously assertions like those made in your letter.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: As a result, Politico determined it was appropriate to correct
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: one of the three articles that identified in your letter.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Correct means they admitted they lied. He added the company
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: would be remiss if we did not note that the
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: timing and substance of your letter contains the unlawful retaliatory
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: and viewpoint discriminatory motives underlying the, he's saying it's the timing.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: At the same time, you ban Politico, CNN, and MS
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Now from the White House. It's not a, uh it's
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: not suspicious it makes sense if this publication is lying
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: and as you as you politico admit in this in
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: your own letter you got the story totally wrong well
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: if you're that bad a reporter why should they let
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: you in the white house if you're making those kind
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: of mistakes why should they let you in the white
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: house Uh, but this lawyer was, uh, I don't know
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: who this lawyer is, but, uh, this sounds like, did
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: AI write this for him? It's just a badly, badly
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: written letter. Um, just again, don't trust anything in, in Politico. Uh,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Ilan Omar, as we mentioned before, it turns out that's
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: not a real name. They got her on that. Uh,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: they got her DNA evidence. They'll prove she was married
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to her brother. They're also seriously looking at whatever ties
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: she has to all that fraud in Minnesota. You're talking
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: about $ 100 million in fraud. Who knows? Who knows what
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: kind of connection she had money-wise to all of that.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So they're taking a look at that. The task force
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: that's looking for fraud everywhere, they're doing really well, Trump administration.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: You know, they just busted this ring in California that
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: committed $ 2 billion with a B, $ 2 billion in medical fraud.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: bunch of doctors it looks like white-collar thieves doctors uh
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: billing for unneeded surgeries uh hunting the homeless for rehabs
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and putting the government uh hitting the government up for
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: phony hospice care uh 15 doctors were arrested here's a
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: couple of them in one ring 1.6 billion in fraud
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: that they collected here's a another doctor who had millions
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: and millions, 134, this one guy, 134 million in false billing,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: living in a huge mansion with gates and big walls
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: around it. The SWAT team, federal SWAT team was seen
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: scaling his walls and they were cutting down his gate,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: entering his house, placed ladders up the house. They went
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: into first floor, second floor, all at the same time. Oh,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: the reason they went so crazy with this guy They
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: knew that the guy had an arsenal in his house.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: He had a lot of weapons in there. That's why
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: this same kind of raid they did on Al Pacino in,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: you know, remember, what was the movie where he played
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the big drug lord? Remember that raid on his mansion
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: in Miami? It was that kind of a raid. That
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: kind of a raid. So they're doing this all over
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the place. They're getting back billions and billions and billions
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and in fraud. Hey, Mamdani, for the first time now,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: will actually campaign today with Kathy Hochul. So they'll be
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: arm-in-arm campaigning. This may help Blakeman. This may help Blakeman.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I imagine they'll be taking the footage of them together
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: and using it in ads. You know, they keep trying
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to tie Blakeman to Trump. Blakeman's been friends with Trump
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: for years, but agrees on some things, disagrees on others.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: But I assume you'll be seeing a lot of commercials
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: of Mamdani and Hochul campaigning together, of Mamdani endorsing Hochul.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: That's not going to help her. It might be good
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: in New York City, but half the votes are outside
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: of New York City. They'll be campaigning in Brooklyn. Her
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: campaign confirmed it. His campaign confirmed it. Hey, that crazy
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: El-Sayed in Michigan, President Trump will be in Michigan campaigning
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: for Mike Rogers. So he's got these family members, you know,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: with the supposed Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, ties, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: they're denying his sister. Well, it turns out the Obama
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: administration had put his sister on the terror watch list. Well,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: that's not good. And now they found another, an old, old,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: old letter signed by al-Sayyad urging the Muslim Brotherhood in
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Egypt to kill media and police. Or he used the
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: word purge. I think that means killed. That's a very
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: disgusting letter sent in 2012, just before the government did
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: crack down on journalists in Egypt, targeting at least half
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: a dozen for insulting Islam. But the Michigan candidate disavows
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the Muslim Brotherhood. But the ties he had, pretty clear.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Pretty obvious. I don't know how he's going to deny them. Hey,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: speaking of Mamdani, remember I told you yesterday? He's only
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: signed one law in 10 months in office. That's all
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: he's done. Just signed one little law in 10 months.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: And it was a little thing. It was the law
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: allowing outdoor dining all year. That's all he did. It
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: was pretty embarrassing because normally a mayor, even the very
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: lazy Bill de Blasio, by this point had signed 47 bills,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: 47 laws. Eric Adams at this point had signed 30.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Bloomberg at this point had signed 28. So for Mamdani
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: to only get one thing done in 10 months, it's
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: pretty embarrassing. Mamdani tries to explain this. He was asked
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: about it. You know how he talks a mile a
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: minute and he's very articulate and talks so fast and
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: he just pours an answer right out. Well, when he
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: was asked about this, he hemmed and hawed. All of
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: a sudden he wasn't so slick. He mumbled something about, well,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: the most important thing is that New Yorkers can see
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: pieces of legislation. He says, whether we sign it or not,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: whether we pass it or not, it's not important. It's
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: important to see that we keep working with the council,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: whether it's signing bills or seeing the passage of bills.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: So in other words, he's saying it's true. He didn't
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: get anything done. He only signed one bill. in 10 months, but, uh,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: he was watching the council. Otherwise he wants credit for,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: for watching them, I guess. Um, a president Trump also
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: suing the BBC. That's another thing. The BBC, BBC news
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: was considered the most prestigious news organization in the world
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: for the last 10 years. It's been a dirty, sleazy, disgusting, corrupt,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: ridiculous news organization. They got Trump derangement syndrome. They printed
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: all kinds of false crap about him. He's suing them
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: now for $ 10 billion. The only problem, it's very difficult
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: to sue people in another country. Very tricky and tough
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: to get that done. So a judge is demanding Trump
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: do a deposition. He hasn't done it yet. He is
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: a little busy. But they lied about him on January 6th.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: This is how sleazy the BBC has become. They did
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: a documentary showing that Trump caused January 6th. Trump ordered
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: his people to go do that at the Capitol. Of course,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: nothing like that ever happened. But how did they convince
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: the viewers? Well, they doctored up and edited up footage
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: of him. You remember we made that speech where he said,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: I want you to go to the Capitol. I want
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: you to peacefully protest. Well, they cut out the word peacefully.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: They edited up what he said. So instead they had
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: him saying, go there and fight like hell. Go there
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: and fight like hell. We fight like hell. And if
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: a country anymore. Well, that's never what he said. He
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: actually said, you know, protest peacefully and patriotic. They really,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: really edited up his speech in the most corrupt, disgusting way.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: So Trump could probably, even though it's another country and
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: it's tough to get anything done legally, would easily win
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: this lawsuit. But he's got to do a deposition. Judge
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: gave him a deadline. Hopefully, he does it. Now, this
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: one city in America, Topeka, Kansas. Beautiful. Isn't that where
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Dorothy was from? Wizard of Oz? Topeka, Kansas. You know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: if a city's doing really well, people want to move there.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: You know, like New York City. It's a crowded mess.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: It's got the worst taxes. But, People are moving here
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: like crazy. Even now with Mamdani, people are pouring in here,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: moving in here. Now, some states, well, you get rid
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: of the tax. There's no state tax. We'll be tax-free.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: That gets people to move down. That's what Florida did.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: You know, you can say Florida's the perfect, well, if
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: you've got to eliminate taxes, you're basically letting people in
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: for free. It's not that impressive. But Topeka, Kansas... Things
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: are so bad, they're paying people to move there. That's right.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: They'll pay you $ 15, 000 to move to Topeka, Kansas. You're
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: going to have to prove you have a job there.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: You have to prove that you've gotten a job with
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: an employer in Topeka, Kansas. But otherwise, you get $ 15, 000
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: in cash if you move there. That's when a city's
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: not doing well, when they've got to pay people to
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: move there. New York City, you know it's doing well
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: when they can overtax, overcharge, and still have people pouring in. Florida,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: they got to let you, they got to go tax-free
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: to get you to move there. New York tax is
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: like crazy, and plenty of people are moving here. Hey,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: remember Julie Andrews Mary Poppins my fair lady great Broadway
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: star great singer amazing voice Julie Andrews she's still around
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: she's 91 lives in the Hamptons nobody's seen her for
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: a while she was seen yesterday for the first time
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: she said I'm not completely retired but things are different
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: today I do a lot of recording of podcasts and voiceovers.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: She did a voiceover for me once years ago, a promo.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: We got the greatest voice, Julie Andrews, 91. You could
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: see that they had to help her out of the car,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: but she looked great. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number. We'll take some calls next.
• 49:57
  Speaker 13: 800-321-0710.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: 3 2 1 0 7 10 where New York comes
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: for common sense.
• 50:04
  Speaker 13: Mark Simone on 7 10 W O R.
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: Hey, let's take some calls.
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: 800 3 2 1 0 7 10 is the number
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: 800 3 2 1 0 7 10.
• 50:07
  Speaker 9: Let's go to Jeff in Staten Island.
• 50:08
  Speaker 13: Jeff, how you doing? Yeah.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Good morning. How are you?
• 50:14
  Speaker 18: Um, I was going to say, you said that Mandagi
• 50:31
  Speaker 18: only signed, like, one law. I think that's a great thing.
• 50:34
  Speaker 18: The less he touches or the less these politicians touch,
• 50:38
  Speaker 18: the better off we are.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a good point. As Trump said after
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: meeting Mamdani, the guy's lazy. The guy's a coward. He
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: won't do much of anything, just a lot of talk.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: He won't get anything done. And he's right. He's gotten
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: 10 months. He's gotten absolutely nothing done yet. Let's go
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: to Dennis in Gillette, New Jersey. Dennis, how are you doing?
• 50:58
  Speaker 13: All right, Mark, big fan. Listen, since the SAVE Act
• 51:01
  Speaker 13: wasn't passed, that pretty much means illegals can still vote
• 51:06
  Speaker 13: in this election.
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 51:08
  Speaker 13: And they're pretty much going to hand the governorship to Hochul.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: No, no, it doesn't work that way. It's a factor.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: It's a factor. It means you just got to win
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: by an extra point or two, two or three points
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: to overcome the cheating. Actually, we got the best expert
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: on the subject coming up. We'll ask him exactly. what
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: percentage that cheating is. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 51:32
  Speaker 21: Good morning, Mark. Thank you for taking my call. The media, again,
• 51:35
  Speaker 21: never ceases to amaze me with the hypocrisy. I mean,
• 51:39
  Speaker 21: they expect grace from Vivek and then Trump about that
• 51:43
  Speaker 21: story in Ohio. Meanwhile, President Trump, remember his sister?
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: No, his cousin.
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: They used her.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: His cousin.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 51:53
  Speaker 21: I apologize. So, She was on all the news programs.
• 51:57
  Speaker 21: They went after him left.
• 51:59
  Speaker 16: And right for that.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we went through this earlier in the show. It's
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: a good point. It's an excellent point. The ad that
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Vivek Ramaswamy ran against the opponent where her mother denounced her.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: I'm watching Donnie Deutsch this morning, who's the goofiest guy
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: in the world. Not the brightest guy, just goofy. Yelling
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: and screaming about this is the dirtiest ad ever in
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: the history of politics. It'll be remembered as the dirtiest
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: ad ever. Big, long rant. At the end of it,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Morning Joe doesn't say to him, well, how come it
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: was okay when you guys did it to RFK Jr.?
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: You had every member of his family do an ad
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: denouncing him. How come that was okay? Of course, he
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: didn't mention that. And they never mentioned that when Trump
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: was running, they dragged out this broken-down cousin of his.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Was her name Mary Trump? And all she did was
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: go on every television show they put her on, every
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: show on MSNBC, every show on CNN, everywhere they could
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: put her. They used her in ads. And she would
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: tell you that Donald Trump is a nut. He's a liar.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: He's a thief. He's a crook. He's a maniac. He's
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: this cousin who, by the way, never even met Donald Trump.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Cousin that nobody had anything to do with. Trump's sister
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: was friendly with her. But outside of that, most of
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: the family stayed the hell away from her. She never
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: even met Donald Trump. And they dragged this cousin all
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: over television to denounce him. So it's the double standard
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: the left is famous for. Let's go to Mike in Bayside. Mike,
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: I love the show, man.
• 53:30
  Speaker 23: Yeah, just to piggyback on that, if they found a
• 53:32
  Speaker 23: guy or a girl in the media family of Vance
• 53:35
  Speaker 23: or Trump, they wouldn't even need to take out any ads.
• 53:38
  Speaker 21: It would totally be the biggest story of the.
• 53:40
  Speaker 23: Year, a media family member talking crap about it.
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: And about the horses, I love horses. I think they
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: should have built an enclosed track track like, you know,
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: like kind.
• 53:51
  Speaker 23: Of like the Meadowlands has, but like a three-mile type thing.
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: And, you know, all the problems with error, and all.
• 53:58
  Speaker 23: These people that are, like, claiming the horses are tortured
• 54:00
  Speaker 23: or whatever. First of all, when it's over, there'll be
• 54:03
  Speaker 23: 200 horses without homes. And I know from the racehorse industry,
• 54:07
  Speaker 23: there are a lot of horses that get put down,
• 54:09
  Speaker 23: and some of those horses will probably be put down.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: You know, you're in the racehorse. When they say put down,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: what do they do? They kill the horse, and then
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: what happens with that body of the horse?
• 54:19
  Speaker 23: I don't even know.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Does it actually go to a glue factory like the
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: old myth?
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: I'm not familiar with this, but I do know that
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: they love working.
• 54:30
  Speaker 23: During the pandemic, when the horses weren't racing, I was
• 54:33
  Speaker 23: going to the track to just hang out with them
• 54:35
  Speaker 23: because they were going crazy.
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: They love working, and you're really doing a disservice to
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: at least the horses.
• 54:41
  Speaker 23: That are alive by just taking them out of the business.
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: And it's very political.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: It's nothing to do with.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you're absolutely right, Mike. Thanks for calling. I don't
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: know if the horses love it. They don't look too
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: thrilled dragging a bunch of tourists around in a carriage.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: But for those of you that think I've saved the horses,
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: I've saved the horses. They're all going to end up
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: in a glue factory or as dog food or something
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: like that. Let's go to Bob in Connecticut. Bob, how
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 55:08
  Speaker 13: Good.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 55:09
  Speaker 13: Good.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: Good.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: So, you know, I've noticed that the Democrats, they're always
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: trying to figure a way to get more votes so
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: that they can lock in an election. And I think
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: the Republicans should turn the tables on them. And I
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: know it probably would never happen, but I think what
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: they should do in each state is they should go
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: by population. You take half the state, and one senator
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: goes to the populous areas, the cities, and one senator
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: that's for... the rest of the state, you.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Know, because you can't do that. You can't do that.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: It has to be, it has to be a statewide
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: race for the Senate. You can do that for Congress.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: You can have a district, but the Senate has to
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: be statewide. Everybody in the state has a vote on
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: their Senator. Now, if Democrats get in, they've already said
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: they're going to do it. They're going to make a
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico estate. They're going to make DC a state
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: because it's very democratic. And that way they'll have two senators,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: each of those places. So that would be four permanent
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Democratic seats in the Senate. Four extra seats, permanently Democratic.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Dangerous thing to do. Hey, we got a lot to
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: get to coming up. We'll get to the real polls,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: not the fake polls, not the fake rigged college polls
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: or media polls. You look in the metrics, they're absolutely
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: ludicrous metrics. But we'll get to the real polls coming up.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: So stay tuned for that. And when we come back,
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to the brilliant writer, producer, Alan Zweibel. He's
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: got a show coming to Broadway you're going to be
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: very interested in. We'll get to that next on 710WOR.
• 56:44
  Speaker 17: More Mark.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.

• 56:56
  Speaker 2: the world, playwright, author. You should get his book, Laugh Lines,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Story of His Career. Very good book. A lot of
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: great stories in there. Laugh Lines. Follow Alan Zweibel on
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Twitter and Instagram and all that stuff. Alan Zweibel, how
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: I'm great, Mark.
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Hey, your buddy, former partner there, Billy Crystal,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: you wrote his last Broadway show with him, just opened
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: on Broadway. new show, Rave Reviews. I assume you were there, right?
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Well, we were there opening night, and it was magical.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: It was, you know, what he's done is taken a
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: number of tragedies that have happened in his life in
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: this past year, and he gave tribute to his home
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: that he lost, in the fires to his manager who
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: died after 47 years of being represented by him. And
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: of course, uh, Robin Michelle Reiner. And, uh, somehow he
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: magically made the evening really funny, really touching and, uh,
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: really life affirming. And it was brilliant.
• 58:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: It's just open. It's called it's Billy Crystal show. It's
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: called eight 60. Everybody go see it. You'll love it.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: But you wrote the last one with him. Explain to
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: me how the hell you do this. I mean, the
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: last one-man show that was big was Jackie Mason, but
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: that was like basically his nightclub act. But a guy
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: just talking for two hours, just talking casually. How the
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: hell do you write something like that and make it
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: gripping for an audience?
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, look, 700 Sundays is one of the
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: great honors of my life and career because Because here
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: was a guy, Billy, who trusted me to put words
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: into the mouths of his family, of his relatives, most
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: of whom I never met. But that was easier because, look,
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: he's a Jew from Long Island. I'm a Jew from
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: Long Island it's not like I was writing for people
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: I never met before so my contributions were me writing
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: about my grandparents and my relatives and just gave it
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: to him they're the same people with this one it
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: was so personal, so personal. He's the only one who
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: could have written it. You know, nobody else could have
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: done it except for him and him alone. He had
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: to go deep into his heart and, and, and talk
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: from a very, very hurtful yet positive place. That's the
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: fine balance over there.
• 59:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: You know, With 700 Sundays, look, he knew his life
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: and this and that, and whatever my contributions were augmented
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: what he had.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But explain what the hell he does. I don't
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: know how you do this to have enough delivery and
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: timing to just talk. It's not a 92nd Street Y.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: It's a Broadway stage. Normally you've got to be singing
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: and dancing and sets. It's just a guy talking. How
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: do you hold people's attention delivery-wise?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Well, he's got a great set. you know, that was
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: built for him. And he had a, has a really
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: good director. And, uh, as far as the just talking
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: part is concerned.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: If he stops talking, you're just looking at him and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: it's silent.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: So what, what kind of fun is that? The, um,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: what it is is you get into the talk and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: it takes you for a ride.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: It, the material, the memories, what do you want to say? Um,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: you coast with it. Now, that being said, in order
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: to make you laugh, in order to make you, the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: audience I'm talking about, cry, he's got to go deep
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: into his heart.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: He's got to touch himself so he'll touch you with
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: what he's saying. As physically exhausting as it is to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: do eight shows a week, it's just as emotionally exhausting
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: to go to those places. You know, it's like going
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: to a shrink eight times a week, telling the shrink
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: your story, you know, eight times a week for an
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: hour and a half each time. And the shrink at
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: the end, you know, all along laughs, cries, and stands
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: and claps.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: So it's very, very cathartic that way. So on one hand,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: it's very, very remedial. And on the other hand, yeah,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: you are performing, and it's exhausting.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: So now explain this to me. Why the hell would
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: anybody want to do this? It's an amazing performance. It's unbelievable.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Why would you want to have to repeat that eight
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: times a week, every week? Didn't your friend Larry David
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: try that, and he wanted to get out of there
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: after a month? Well, Larry was a riot.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: Larry's wasn't the one-man show, but Larry didn't want to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: have to say the same things every night, which... there's
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: a problem if you're speaking to other actors because they
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: should know when they're supposed to talk, you know? So
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: Larry was confined to it and he would send me,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: he would send me notes saying, I go, how are
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: you doing? And he'd write back saying, I feel like
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: I'm on a death row and there's never going to
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: be a call from the governor.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: Some people who are, um, Very facile and very, very
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: great performers and menologists like doing it. Others do not.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Billy's a master at it. Look how many times he
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: hosted the Oscars. Look how many times he started off
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: doing comic relief. Go through his career. I'm not even
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: talking about the TV and the movies now. Talking about
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: things to live audience. Touring and all of that. He's
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: a great monologist, and audiences love him.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Alan Zweibel, the great writer, producer. Oh, you're working
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: on a Broadway show I can't wait to see. Is
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: it a musical about Rodney Dangerfield?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: Well, that's been tabled.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: It's been tabled. It doesn't mean it's not going to happen,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: but there are some issues internally. Not me, but... with
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: others involved in it. So it's been, it's been put aside.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: I've got, I've got a movie that I wrote with
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: Barry Levinson that Barry is going to direct.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: He's the Oscar.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Winning director of Rain Man and The Natural and all
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: those great movies. And Billy and I also wrote a movie,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: an animated movie that I don't know, has some promise
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: that it's going to go forward too. So while I'm
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: waiting for the Rodney thing to resolve itself, I'm still
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: at my laptop every day.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for this Rodney, because we knew Rodney,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: he was the most complex guy.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, he used to walk down the street in his pajamas,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: you know, in the middle of the day. So, yeah, yeah,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: it's a lot of fun there, you know, to see
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: what makes this guy tick, and of course all those
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: jokes which are just incomparable, you know? So let's see
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: what happens.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But he was amazing. His private life, total degenerate everything.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: But then he'd go to work and he was the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: most disciplined craftsman in the world. Well, he was amazing.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 16: Yes, absolutely.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: When I would write for him, this was before Saturday
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: Night Live, I would go to his apartment.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 16: Let's say four o'clock in the afternoon.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: He was still in his pajamas with a bathrobe and
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: I would write a joke. Then we would spend an
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: hour moving the words, the same words around, but in
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: a different order, you know, he was a master technician
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: and he knew his own voice better than anyone.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: Master of every detail, except for one thing. When you
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: see him, he'd be in a bathroom and he could
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: never tie the thing enough.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, it was flopping around.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 16: Everything was like flailing. Yes, it was billowing.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Well, anyway, Alan Zweibel, they don't make writers like you anymore.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: You know, we had these legendary great writers. It was
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Larry Gelbart. There was Herb Sargent. But there's no new
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: versions of you guys with that kind of.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 16: Well, I don't know.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: You know, there may be. I just don't know. who
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: they are, if they operate the same way. There's a
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: lot of really good television on, so there are good writers. But,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: you know, when you talk about the Larry Gelbarts of
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: the world, you look at the Sid Caesar's writer's room,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: had Larry Gelbart, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Woody
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: Allen came on later.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: These were the writers. God, these are writers.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: And Larry Delbarth, who created MASH and wrote all those
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: great movies and everything. I hope this is true. I'm
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: not sure it is, but I pray that it's true.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: I heard that Honest Tombstone, this wonderful writer, Honest Tombstone,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: the epitaph is, finally a plot.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true, but that sounds like.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's true either, but unless I
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: visit his grave, I'm going to tell people that.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Well, Alan's right. Bell, we're out of time, but Hey,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: everybody get his book. His autobiography is wonderful. You'll love it.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: It's called laugh lines. And are you appearing anywhere next?
• 1:07:28

• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: radio show in America, Sean Hannity at three. The very
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: funny Jimmy Fallon tonight at nine. On 710WOR. Welcome back
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: to the Mark Simone Show.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be a beautiful day today. Bright sunshine.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: And it should be about 60 degrees. The weekend they
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: raised the temperature. It's going to be in the low 60s.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Low 60s all weekend. Bright sunshine for the next five days.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Beautiful autumn weekend coming up. We got another hour to go.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: I'm here nine to noon. Three hours. Nine to noon
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: every day. Back after the news. 710WOR.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: The Mark Simone Show.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. Hang on. It's just breaking. There are two
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: ex-FBI officials. They're the ones accused of covering up the...
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: hunter biden laptop former senior bureau officials nikki floris and
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: bradley benavides uh they've been indicted and they're being charged
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: for lying to congress you know the hunter laptop was
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: covered up You got all these sleazy, dirty swamp characters
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: in the CIA and the FBI, and they were all
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: busy trying to cover up that Hunter Biden laptop. You
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: remember Clapper and Brennan, all those dirty, sleazy guys. Well,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: here's two ex-FBI officials. They have been charged for lying
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: to Congress, and that means there's more coming. Usually start
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: down low, indict those guys, and then get them to
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: turn on the people above them. So this is pretty interesting.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't have indicted them, this task force that was
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: looking at all this corruption in the FBI. They wouldn't
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: indict them if they didn't have the evidence. So they're
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: indicted right now, charged with lying to Congress. Probably more
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: charges coming, more people, but it was a terrible, terrible cover-up.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: The Hunter Biden laptop. So keep an eye on that. Hey,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: in Europe, A bunch of the major websites in Europe
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: went dark. There was a problem with hacking. They were
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: trying to protect the systems from hackers, and the hacking
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: was so sophisticated and complicated, the only thing they could
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: do is shut these major websites down. Not to get
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: too technical here, but there's a vulnerability, the PHP 2 shell,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: whatever the hell that is. And there was a way
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: to hack into that. But 70% of the websites using
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: those websites, Germany, France, Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, they took their
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: government websites offline. They shut it all down to prevent
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: the hacking. It was pretty serious stuff. And now we're
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: getting word this morning that in New Jersey, major health
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: lab had to announce that there was hacking. They got
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: hacked all year round. Personal data may have been retrieved
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: by the hackers. And now it turns out it's Quest.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: You all know Quest. When you get a blood test,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: doctor gives you a blood test that's sent out to
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: the lab. And it's always, it's Quest or there's another
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: one called LabCorp. But most of the time it's Quest.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: You get the blood test. I just got a blood test.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: Came back fine. Tested negative on everything. But the problem
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: is when you get the blood test, The insurance usually
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: pays it. You pay for the blood test. And then
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: a month later, you get a bill from Quest or
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: LabCorp for $ 9.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 16: 32.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell this is, but I'll
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: just pay it. And then two months later, you get
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: a bill from Quest or LabCorp, $ 11. 16. Now, what the
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: hell do I, why didn't you just bill me everything
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: the first time? you could call them up and, but
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: you know, you're going to be on hold talking to
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: a recording for seven hours. So you just pay it.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: And then a couple of months later, you get another
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: bill from Quest or LabCorp for $ 4 and three. I
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell this is with these, these
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: laboratories and these blood tests, but I have a feeling
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: that's their main business. Just, Sending you extra bills, $ 3, $ 8, $ 12.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: But you do that a million times, you can make
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. It's a great business for them.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: Let me check the price of oil. It was spiking
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: up this morning. Yeah, it's still up. It's over $ 100 now.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: It's $ 102 a barrel. Big spike. It was down to $ 97.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Big spike overnight. Now, the reason for that, The Houthis
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: are on the attack. They've been hitting Saudi Arabia. They
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: hit the airport. They hit a couple other things. But
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: the rumor is, the word is, and even the Saudis
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: are making noise that they're about to hit the Saudi
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: oil facilities. And if they do that, that would affect
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: the price of oil. So that's why the traders have
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: spiked up the price of oil. It's $ 102 a barrel.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: You know, you keep hearing about the Republicans are going
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: to lose, Trump is going to lose, they're going to lose,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: the price of oil, the price of gas, the price
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: of oil. It's not good, but it's not the issue
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: that the fake news is pretending it is. Not everybody
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: in the world, and nobody's happy about oil going up,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: but not everybody in the world is voting on one issue. Obviously,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: if you're a trucker or something, it's a big effect
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: on your business. If you're just an average driver, it's
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: an annoyance. It's not You're not necessarily going to change
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: your vote over the price of gas at the pumps
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: for a normal voter. Just because gasoline went up at
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: the pump doesn't mean you're suddenly for men and women's sports, transgender,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: surgery for children, open borders. You're not going to vote
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: for that just because the price of gas went up.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: So it's not the big factor. They make it out
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: to be. Hey, the good news, there's this El Nino story.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: affecting the weather all over the world. It's going to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: be with us all winter, this El Nino system. It's bad.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: It's bad for a lot of places. The good news
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: for the Northeast, it's not going to affect us except
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: because of the El Nino, it will raise the temperature
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: all winter. That means here in the Northeast, here in
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: New York and the whole tri-state area, probably no snow
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: all winter. Now, when you're in In El Nino, you
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: do get a lot of precipitation, so there could be
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of rain days, but there will be no
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: snow or very, very little snow this winter. We had
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: this El Nino thing a few years ago. Remember, there
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: were a couple of winters where it never snowed once.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: That was an El Nino winter. So we got one
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: of those coming up. That's the good news. President Trump,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: he's going to Florida this afternoon. He'll do a big
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: rally in Fort Myers. Then he'll go to Palm Beach,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: sleep at Mar-a-Lago. Then tomorrow he'll go to Georgia for
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: a big rally, sleep in Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago. And then
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: he'll go to Michigan on Sunday for a big rally.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking at the schedule for the whole week.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: It's one state after another, just nonstop crisscrossing the United States. Hey,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: that Brad Lander, he's running for whatever the hell he is,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: control her. The most annoying left-wing kook, liberal, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: He's Jewish, but you can still be anti-Semitic and be Jewish.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: He's just an angry anti-Semite, left-wing, annoying guy. Goes over
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: to Israel trying to get himself arrested. Puts out all
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: kinds of statements, pictures. He was detained. Israel detained him. Detained, detained, detained.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: For about two minutes, he and his group went into
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: a military zone. Israeli defense forces surrounded them, demanded to
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: see identification, see who they were, and then let him go.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: It was at 12 seconds he was detained. But, ooh,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: he's cashing in on this.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 17: What I'm angry about as an American Jew and a
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 17: human being is the violence that is being done to Palestinians,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 17: an effort to push them off their land and out
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 17: of their homes.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: That's what he's angry about as a Jew.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 17: What I'm angry about as an American Jew and a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 17: human being.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: As a human being. He's angry.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 6: He's angry.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: You can hear how angry he is. Well, first of all,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: would you? You know, there's a new documentary that's got
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: the actual footage of the Hamas terrorists committing genocide on
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: Israel that October 7th, where they literally sliced the throats
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: of babies, where they raped women, where they just slaughtered
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: and tortured. He's not angry about that. That didn't bother him.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: But Israel responds, he's angry. But he just goes on
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: and on and on.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 17: This is part of an effort to ethnically cleanse them
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 17: from their land by making it impossible to harvest their
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 17: fields or drive on their roads or in their homes.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: This is your typical morning Joe trying to cleanse the land.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: Israel just wants peace. Stop committing holocausts against them. That's
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: all they're asking for. So, hey, this is a fascinating story.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: You know, these driverless cars. A lot of people just
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: don't trust it. The driverless car. You're sitting in the car.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: The car is driving itself. So a lot of people
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: don't trust it. And then everybody else will tell you
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: it's perfectly safe. It's safer than a human driver. This
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: happens now and then. This week, a Tesla on a
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: highway going 70 miles an hour, which is fine. Speed
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: limit was probably 65, 70. A Tesla is on the
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: highway driving. It hit and killed a 71-year-old pedestrian. Now,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: the 71-year-old pedestrian, for some reason, was trying to walk
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: across the highway, which is a little crazy. But the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: victim was crossing Interstate 80. This is in California. The
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: Tesla hit him. The driver was 26 years old. He
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: was in the car. The car stopped and everything. By
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: the way, it caused a lot of other collisions, but
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: every other driver took off. The Tesla stayed, and the driver,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: who's 26, explained to the cops it's a driverless car.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: He had nothing to do with driving it. The Tesla
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: has video. It records everything. It was horrifying footage of
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: hitting the older guy, killing him. But the guy did
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: walk directly into the Tesla's path. The video showed the
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: Tesla's brakes being applied, but the vehicle wasn't able to
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: stop in time. And it did steer to the left,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: trying to avoid the pedestrian. Despite the evasive action, the
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: right front portion of the Tesla struck the individual and
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: then caused the man to be struck by another vehicle
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: while lying in the street. So it looks like the
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Tesla knocked him down. He was on the ground hurt,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: couldn't get up, and the other cars hit him. Now,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: the other cars took off. Tesla's full system driving or
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: whatever can steer, change lanes, navigate roads, but it's not
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: fully autonomous. In a situation like that, they say the
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: driver should remain alert, be ready to take control, but
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: when you see it happening, by then it might be
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: too late to do anything. Now, under California law, Drivers
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: remain responsible even for an automatic vehicle safely operating, even
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: when the automated driving is in. You're responsible legally. So
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that's going to mean for this driver.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: But it's still a little dangerous, obviously, these automatic driving cars.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: So Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense. And he's
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: kind of a, the way he dresses is kind of weird.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: You know, he's got like an American flag tie and
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: he's got this American flag pocket square. It looks a
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: little cheesy. So I don't know if he has the
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: best taste in the world. But Secretary of Defense, and
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: he wants, if you look at the old pictures of
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: General Eisenhower, Dwight D. Eisenhower, you know, commanded the Normandy invasion,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: World War II. General Eisenhower had a globe. And back
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: in those days in the 50s, they had these big globes.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: They were huge. They were like enormous. They were like
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: the size of a refrigerator and they were on a big,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: beautiful wooden stand. They weren't on a desk or anything.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: They had a floor stand. Enormous globes. You remember seeing
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: those in old pictures from the 50s? Eisenhower had one
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: in his office. So, Hegseth apparently was... Big, big fan
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: of this globe. He wanted it. It was being stored
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: somewhere in the Pentagon. It was used by Eisenhower in
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: World War II, which means it's an outdated globe. I mean,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: probably half the countries on it are different now. But
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Hegseth wanted it. He dispatched people in his office to
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: go find the globe in the Pentagon and bring it
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: to his office. It was a huge globe, like 30
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: inches in diameter, big wooden stand. So these guys went
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: down to move, they found it, they moved. Now, normally
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: historical items like that are supposed to be moved by
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: a team of trained curators who know how to move
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: valuable art. These are just a couple of guys from
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: Hex's office. Well, they tried moving it and they bringing
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: it and they dropped it. At one point they dropped
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: it and it smashed one whole side of it. A
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: whole part got cracked and the fragile, it's a shell,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: the fragile shell cracked and a big chunk is missing.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: near Antarctica, so they kind of destroyed it. The resulting
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: gash appears to be several inches. Now, we're supposed to
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: be all upset. We're supposed to be mad at Hex
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: of how dare the press watch the media go after
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: him for this. The globe was in a backroom warehouse
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: for how long? 65 years? Nobody was ever going to
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: see this globe again, so don't worry about it so much. Hey,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. 800-321- 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey,

  Speaker 15: Well, I stay off the freeways. I'm an old man,
• 1:24:38

• 1:24:41
  Speaker 15: reason that grandmas live to a grand old age by definition.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 15: And I've been doing so since my 20s, and that's
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 15: how I got to 72, Mark. And you've got a
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 15: dynamite show. Never retire, please.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks, Brian. Thanks for calling. Take care. Yeah,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: once again, if you're outside of New York and you
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: listen to the radio, that's how they talk. Yeah, they
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: come on. Good morning. Hey, what are you doing? Talk radio. Well,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: we got this. Another latest on president. They used to
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: talk like that in New York a million years ago.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: Remember the morning show? Good morning. Hey, Harry Harrison. They'd
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: be chipper and loud and good morning. I'm Ted Brown.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: Remember all that's how they used to talk back then.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Hildy in the Poconos. Hildy, how you doing?
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 8: Hi, Mark. How are you?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 23: Good.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 8: Listen, first of all, I really love the fact that
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 8: you're on three hours every day now. And here's a
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: question I have, and I figured you would probably be
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 8: the only one to really answer this one.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 8: With the midterms.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 19: Being two weeks away.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 8: And all of the money that's being pumped into these
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 8: ridiculous ads that you see on TV, and they're ridiculous
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 8: for both sides of the aisle. Do they really make
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 8: a difference? Like, do people really watch those ads and
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 8: take anything that they hear seriously?
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 8: So the money is not wasted on any of those.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: Well, the only time it's wasted, if you're Kathy Hochul,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: she's too much on old-fashioned television. That's the problem. You know,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: she's on Channel 5, Channel 4, very low viewership on
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: these TV stations. The money would be better spent on Instagram, TikTok,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: and all those places. But she's not that sophisticated. All right, Hilde,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. You know, the other thing is you've
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: got these consultants that run your campaign, and they do
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: the ad buying, and they get the commission on the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: ad buying. So they'll tell you to buy everything. And
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: if you buy it, we need $ 2 million to advertise
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: on TV, and they'll buy the $ 2 million in ads.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: And it didn't help. So the consultant will come back
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: to you and say, well, you know, $ 2 million is
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: not really enough. You've got to spend $ 4 million. Look
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: at another $ 4 million. No, that's $ 6 million. They get
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: the commission off all that. That's like $ 600, 000 in their
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: pocket right there. Actually, more probably. It's probably like $ 1
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: million in their pocket. So, yeah, old-fashioned TV ads, not
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: that effective. You've got to be on social media. You've
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: got to be all over the Internet. Radio is still
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: pretty effective. It's actually proven to be more effective than
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: TV ads. And the thing with radio, you can reach
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: whoever you want. Let's say you're right here on this floor.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Let's say you come to iHeart to advertise. I need
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: to reach more Hispanic voters. Well, you go down the hall,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: put your ads on KTU, you reach them. I'm having
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: trouble with the black voters. Well, you go right over
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: there to Power 105, you got them. I need to
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: reach whoever you need to reach. I'm having trouble with young, young.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: You go down the hall to Z100. Radio, much more targeted.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: Social media, the best. Let's go to Diane in New Jersey. Diane,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, how are you, Mark?
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 11: I'm pretty good. And yourself?
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Let me check. Not bad. Not bad.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 11: Now, the reason I'm calling is earlier this morning, you
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 11: were talking about the carriage horse vote.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 11: And I have a question for you. You only seem
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 11: to mention about how Only one person has been killed
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 11: over the years. But you don't seem to mention how
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 11: many horses have died from collapsing on the street. Oh,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 11: that's a good point. These horses aren't cared for. As
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 11: a horse owner, I can tell just by what they
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 11: look like, their grooming status, whether they're cared for or not.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 11: And believe me, a lot of them are not cared
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 11: for the way they should be. no and in the
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 11: summertime we've got them collapsing on the street nobody's okay.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: You have uh maybe two percent collapsing.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 21: One is too.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: Many okay one is too many as a horse owner
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 11: as a horse owner one is.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: Too many you're not wrong that's a very very good
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: point what what what do you do with.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 11: Your horse Well, it's a quarter horse we do hunter-jumper
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 11: with in New Jersey. And to me, knowing the cost,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 11: what it costs to maintain a horse.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: All right. Let me ask you a question, sincerely. Isn't
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: that kind of cruel? You're sitting on this horse making
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: him jump and do this and.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 10: They're bred for that.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: They're bred for jumping. They're high jumpers.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you, if I could talk to the horse,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: he'd say to me, hey, it's enough with the jumping.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 11: Well, the point I have, I know of sanctuaries in
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 11: upstate New York that are willing now to take some
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 11: of these horses and give them a great life.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: What do they do with the horses in the sanctuary?
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 11: Let them live their life in family units and let
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 11: them live out in the fields grazing, not as workhorses.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 11: And they get to live their life as a horse
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 11: should be, not parading around the household streets of New
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 11: York City.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: If one of these horses goes to the sanctuary, can
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: he brag to the other horses? I used to be
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: in New York City. I used to ride right down
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: Fifth Avenue.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 11: Well, there's a lot of racehorses that end up there
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 11: because that's another industry that we need to get rid of.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 11: Did you know that the racehorses, when racehorses have a foal,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 11: that the mare, they get... They don't feed their own foal.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 11: They bring in what's called a wet mare. They bring
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 11: in a mare that had another foal that they ended
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 11: up abandoning just to come in and feed the ones
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 11: that are considered prized horses.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: I've got to be honest.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 11: So then you end up with a bunch of foals
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: that are abandoned.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: This is getting too complicated. This is too much horse knowledge. But, no,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: you seem to know this stuff.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm sorry, but you need to know. People need
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: to know about it. And horse racing is a very
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 11: dirty business.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: It's very dirty. Very good points, Diane. Excellent points. Okay.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: You did teach us a lot. Thanks for calling. Take care. Oh,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: when we come back, the greatest pollster of all. Forget
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: the fake public polls with the rigged metrics. We'll get
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: the real numbers next. We'll talk to John McLaughlin coming
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: up on 710WOR. It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: Well, all these polls you see in public, all these
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: junk polls, these media polls, these college polls with the
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: worst metrics, all rigged, slanted by candidates don't use them.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: They use the real polls that are much more sophisticated.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: Here is the best pollster of all, John McLaughlin. His
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: website is McLaughlinOnline.com. He works for all the top candidates, presidents,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: prime ministers. John McLaughlin, how are you doing?
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 16: I'm doing well. It's 11 days to go.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 22: Lots of things, lots of moving parts going on.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 16: Right now and a lot of close races.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: Would you agree when it comes to the House, it's
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: too close to call? Nobody knows what's going to happen.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 22: There's too many seats in play. There's over 70 seats
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 22: that are being contested that are in play, whether they
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 22: say they lean Republican or Democrat or they are pure toss-ups.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 22: There's almost 20 seats that are considered pure toss-ups. So, uh,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 22: so it's definitely in play. And so a lot of
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 22: these polls that are coming out where like, there was
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 22: a New York times poll in the last couple of
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 22: days that had like Republicans down double digits in the
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 22: generic ballot. And, uh, Alison had them down five, but
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 22: you know, that's pretty close and, you know, they, they
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 22: can make up that ground generically, uh, as a team. But, uh,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 22: for that one, when you go into the internals, you're
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 22: finding like there's more Harris voters than Trump voters. And
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 22: it doesn't, even though they did 3000 interviews, It doesn't
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 22: match up with the actual political party and demographics of
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 22: a national survey. So they were, again, back to under-polling
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 22: Republicans and under-polling Trump voters and saying, oh, well, the
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 22: Democrats are by double digits.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 16: Go home.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 12: Don't bother voting.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 22: Because the Democrats know that they usually do better in
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 22: the early voting, and Republicans do better on Election Day.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 16: So they try to discourage Republicans.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, we should point out, if you're in New York State,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: Early voting starts tomorrow. Tomorrow you can go vote. Do it.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: Vote for Bruce Blakeman. Vote for, hey, this candidate for
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: attorney general. She's brilliant. She's great in the debate. But
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: people don't know her. They can't even say her name.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: Does she have any chance at winning?
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah. She's coming already.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 22: So she definitely does. I mean, you saw the poll
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 22: that her campaign put out earlier this week where she
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 22: was down six points, 51 to 45 against Letitia James.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 22: And because she's running against Letitia James, she has a shot.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 22: But the other reason is in the same poll, they
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 22: had Bruce Blakeman trailing by only four, 50 to 46.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 22: And it's a reputable pollster. It's not my poll. It's
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 22: on Message.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 16: I know them. They're very good pollsters.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 22: They work for a lot of senators and governors across
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 22: the country. And because that poll said if Bruce Blakeman wins,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 22: she's probably going to win, too. So your point about.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 16: The early voting is very important.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 22: And, uh, you know, there's a history of polls in
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 22: New York where you just, like you see this, this
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 22: Quinnipiac poll, another school that should devote itself to football
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 22: or something else, but they've took a poll and they
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 22: don't release, they released the party. They only have 22% Republicans.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 22: And when you look at the actual vote, that's more
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 22: like a registered voter poll, a 13 million registered, but
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 22: a lot of registered voters in New York don't vote. So,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 22: you know, you'll get about 6 million like you did
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 22: four years ago with Lee Zeldin and, uh, and Hochul
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 22: and out of that 6 million, 30% were Republicans. So
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 22: Quinnipiac decides, well, 8% of the Republicans aren't showing up.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 16: And then they released.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 22: No other demographics. You have no idea how old the
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 22: electorate is. You have no idea who's white, black, Hispanic, Asian.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 22: You have no idea their.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 16: Education levels or their religion.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 22: And a lot of these polls are infamous for under-polling
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 22: Jewish voters and Orthodox Jewish voters. So you have no
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 22: idea which of their polls are good polls or bad
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 22: polls because they're not transparent. But they get away with
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 22: it because the media says so. They like them and
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 22: they just run with it. So that poll is definitely skewed.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all of these fake polls for the media and the– colleges,
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: you know, they put Republicans at 23% of the sample,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: which is ridiculous. How do they, in their own head,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: how do they justify doing that?
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 16: Well, the media prints it. They don't, there's a double standard.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 22: If I put out a poll, I got to give,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 22: I got to give them all. We want to see
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 22: all your demographics. We want to see your crosshairs. We
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 22: want to see this, that I got to file a memo.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 22: If I do for Blakeman, like when we had him
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 22: down four points, I had to put a memo into
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 22: the state board of elections. saying this is how we
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 22: ask the questions, this was the methodology, and give all
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 22: sorts of key demographics.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 16: So I comply with state.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: Law in New York.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 16: But they don't have to do that.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 22: Because the New York Times and Newsday just run with it,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 22: and the TV stations just.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Run with it.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 16: Because they have.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 22: You know, they like the idea that Hochul's raised taxes
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 22: by $ 8 billion and how Mondami are going to raise
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 22: taxes by billions more after Election Day. So there's a
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 22: lot of liberal media that think that's a great thing.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 22: And they don't mind that people are leaving New York
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 22: and the rest of us who want to stay in
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 22: New York, we don't want to pay.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 16: I mean, Mondami and Hochul, she's campaigning with him today.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you a question. Will they take
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: the footage of them together campaigning today? Could that be
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: used in ads upstate?
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 16: Oh, we already have it.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 21: It's already in our heads.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 22: So, I mean, you go out on Long Island and
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 22: you go to the suburbs or the outer boroughs, I mean,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 22: they know, homeowners know that Mondami wants to raise property
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 22: taxes 9.5% on them.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 16: And they know that he's asking for like a wealth tax,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 16: a death tax.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 22: In New York State right now, you've got to make
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 22: about $ 7 million to be subject to the death tax,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 22: the estate tax. He wants to lower, him and the
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 22: DSA want to lower it.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 16: To $ 750, 000.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 22: So if you sell your home, your kids are going
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 22: to have to pay an extra 16% on tax for
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 22: your small business or upstate farms. So upstate, they're really
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 22: upset that Hulk will, you know, because the city and
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 22: the state are in deficits for billions. So upstate, they're
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 22: really upset that she just flat out when he was
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 22: doing his child daycare, she gave him a couple billion
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 22: or whatever. And she just took it out of whatever
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 22: state funds were there and just gave it to him.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 22: And after election day, you know, she'll give him whatever
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 22: he wants. And whether it's income taxes, state taxes, corporate taxes.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 22: They're going to raise it. And then the icing on
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 22: the cake will be when he closes Rutgers Island and releases.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 16: Thousands of prisoners.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 22: So, you know, if you want to stop all that,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 22: the only way to stop it is to vote for Bruce.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: And you can start voting tomorrow. It's a good time
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: to vote on the weekend.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 16: Tomorrow and all week. All week you can go to the.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: Early voting place. Now, the media has every just average
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: voter convinced that the Republicans can't win because of the
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: price of gas. As the greatest pollster, is it really
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: the case that many people, most people will be voting
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: based on the price of gas?
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 22: Well, it doesn't help that one up, but then the
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 22: Iranians know exactly what they were doing when they tried
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 22: to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. But on the
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 22: other hand, it's less than it was when Joe Biden
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 22: was president, and you've got to believe President Trump, that
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 22: when Iran suffers enough, that they capitulate.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 21: I suggest we'll go back down to like.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 16: $ 3 a gallon or less.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: Is it really the number one issue people are voting on?
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 16: No, but of course the living affordability.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 22: And when you go back to that issue, when you
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 22: see Kathy Hochul's name on the ballot, Just think about
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 22: the 48 utility price increases you've paid. You're paying thousands
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 22: of dollars more in utility bills in New York State.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 22: Think about the $ 8 billion in taxes. Think about the
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 22: billions more in taxes that are coming. Income payroll, property
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 22: taxes will be coming when Mondami collects whatever its endorsement
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 22: is worth. And so that's the affordability in New York.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 22: That issue is– that's actually the big issue.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: Now, in New York, listen– There's definitely some cheating. There's
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: definitely some illegals voting. There's definitely a little tampering here
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: and there. How much extra do you have to win
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: by to overcome that cheating in New York?
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 16: Well, I would say it needs to be more than 1%.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's not bad.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 22: Yeah, so it's like, but it's during the day. It
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 22: goes on during the day where you have to monitor
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 22: what's going on in New York City and other places. other, uh, uh,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 22: Democrat strongholds around the state. So you have to make
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 22: sure that, uh, people that are voting, you know, only
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 22: vote once and they're legit legal citizens. And, uh, and
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 22: it's very hard in New York in a state without
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 22: voter ID. I mean, they, they all know, uh.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 16: You know, when you go, when you sign that electronic, when.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 22: You go on a vote and there's an electronic signature,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 22: I mean, the, the, the poor little old ladies who
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 22: are doing the part of elections work, try to make
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 22: sure it's an honest election. you can't show them ID
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 22: and then you sign that thing. They have no idea
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 22: if it's you or not, but they just, unless they're
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 22: your neighbor and they know you, but in New York city,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 22: that's fair.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: So Bruce Blakeman been a great candidate. He'd be the
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: best governor you could find right now. What are the
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: odds right now? Is it pretty much deadlocked? Would you say,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: which in the margin of error?
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 16: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 22: I mean, the next 11 days are critical for Bruce.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 22: I mean, he's working really hard. He was in the
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 22: Bronx yesterday. I mean, he's, he's just, he's, he's, he's
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 22: all over and he's, uh, getting endorsements from Democrats. I mean,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 22: right now there's a lot of Democrats coming out and
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 22: endorsing Bruce, uh, because they can't, they, they can't afford it.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 22: I mean, between, between taxes and the crime, they don't
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 22: like spending $ 8 billion for illegal immigrants.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 16: So whether it's healthcare.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 22: Or housing or food law enforcement, I mean, it's, she's
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 22: got her priorities all wrong. So, uh, So there's a
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 22: lot of people coming out for Bruce.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's good to hear. Well, John McLaughlin, keep up
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: the good work. He's the best pollster of all, I
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: could say in the world, because people do hire you
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: from all over the world. Hey, you're the Netanyahu pollster.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: We only got a few seconds. His election is this
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: coming week. How does it look?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 22: Very close, because the Israeli electorate is always very volatile,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 22: and they have multiple parties, so it's always very complex.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 22: So he said to me back in 2003 when I
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 22: started working for him, he says, What do you know
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 22: about Jewish voters? I said I'm from New York.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, great work, John McLaughlin. Check his website, McLaughlinOnline.com. McLaughlinOnline.com.
