  Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's a Monday. It's a cold day out there.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It's definitely autumn. It's cold out there. We got a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: lot to get to today. France is on fire. Paris
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: is burning. We'll get to that. We'll get to President Trump.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Katie Sicario. We'll get to Bruce Blakeman.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie and his latest capers.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the... Pretty amazing dinner Thursday night at
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the White House. We'll go over that. So Paris is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: on fire. It is burning everywhere. The riots in France. Now,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: this is an annual event in Paris, not riots in France. Protests.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It's an annual event. Protests. Workers go on strike. Students protest.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Happens every year. This is different. This is rioting. This
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: is looting. This is out of control. Now, what made
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: it different? Well, the country has been infiltrated. They opened
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: up their borders to the third world, and they came
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: pouring in. So it's not the usual crazy French with
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: their annual protest. Well, it was originally, but then everybody
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: else jumped in. This is like an Islamist takedown of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the French government, of French institutions. Again, they opened the borders.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: They let so many people in. They've been overrun by
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: people who want to undo Paris, undo France, take it
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: all down. France was in a state of shock on Sunday,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: especially Paris, other cities. They just walked through the streets,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and the streets were just lined with shattered storefronts, charred cars,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: burned out government buildings. They destroyed a lot of stuff
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: in Paris that They just destroyed the Hermes, the Louis Vuitton,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the Gucci. Actually, a lot of husbands are not upset
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: about that. They kind of keep the wives from spending
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: any money this week. But some stores, Christian Dior and others,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: spent a fortune hiring their own armies to protect their stores.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: The arrest, last time I looked, was 2,400. It might
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: be almost 3,000 now. It's totally out of control now.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Limoges in the south of France, known for its porcelain
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and all that, was largely destroyed. Nighttime arson attacks. 500
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: police were injured. I mean, go through the whole country. Marseille,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: also in the south, broke into local government headquarters. Half
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a million demonstrators marched on Sunday. Now, they claim they're
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: protesting the rising cost of things, the price of gas.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's not about that. This, again, You get the annual
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: student protests, the annual worker strikes. But underneath that, these
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: rioters came in. They're mostly Islamic radicals. They came in.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: The vandalism isn't even, I mean, some looters came in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and robbed all these stores. But most of the vandalism
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: is just to destroy everything. Europe is not responding enough
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to this. The French government is not responding enough to this.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: The European Parliament is voting for a resolution that condemned
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the Muslim Brotherhood and its actions. They're trying to do
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: something about it. Senator Ted Cruz, he said, we are
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: now witnessing Islamists setting Paris ablaze because France committed cultural suicide.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: We have to watch what's happening in France as a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: warning sign. Now, a lot of this, it is Islamic,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Islamist radicals. A lot of this is anti-Semitic. Especially in Marseille,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it was noted that they went mostly after Jewish-owned stores. Macron,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: obviously not handling this well. In fact, he's getting a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: lot of flack because Friday night he went to the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Celine Dion concert in the middle of all this. Just awful.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: He's trying to scramble his way out of this. He
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: tried to blame President Trump for the price of gas.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with anything. Nobody's buying it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: The election is coming up. Now, he's term-limited out, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the right-wing party looks very strong now as a result
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: of this because people are going to vote for law
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and order. Here in this country over the weekend, we
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: had the No Kings protest. I know. There were over
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: 3,000 No Kings protests around the country. 300 organizations voted.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: They're saying 3 million people showed up for the No
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Kings protest. For those of you in the No Kings protest,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I know you're getting a lot of attention with this
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: No Kings. You're getting a lot of turnout. You're getting
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of coverage with your No Kings. But I
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: don't know if you know this. Nobody knows what the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: hell you're talking about. No Kings. Who are you talking about?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: King Charles? Who are you talking about? We already had
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the No Kings protest. It was called the Revolutionary War.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: We got rid of King George. That was the end
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of it. That's the last king. No kings. They got signs,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: no kings. Nobody knows what you're talking about. But a
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: couple of things about the no kings. One, it was
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: financed by all the left-wing organizations. They were financed by MoveOn.org,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the American Federation of Teachers, the ACLU, real left-wing organizations
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: financing this. Now, no king's organizers, were trying to make
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it very clear that this is not a political rally,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that it's not partisan. But the reason they were pushing
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that narrative is all these donors, these big organizations, are
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: supposed to be nonprofit charity groups, and you're not supposed
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to be giving charity money to partisan organizations. So they
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: kept making it clear that the organizers that this was
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: not a political rally. There was nothing political. It was
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: totally nonpartisan. But if you were there and you looked
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: at all the signs, they were all anti-Trump. They were
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: all Trump signs. They were all anti-MAGA. It was clearly
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: nothing but partisan. So they kept lying about every which
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: way that it was nonpartisan. The real reason for this event, though,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: was to get people out to early vote. Like with
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: President Trump running around the country doing all these rallies,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the real reason is every time they get to a rally,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: everybody that's there, they'll get 5,000, 10,000 people, but they'll
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: turn away 20,000, 30,000 people. But in the process, the 30,000,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: 40,000 people, they'll get all their emails, phone numbers, contact information,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and then they'll make sure they get them out to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the polls, get them to early vote. That's the real
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: reason for the rallies. to push turnout. And that's the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: other thing with this no Kings thing. It was to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: push turnout. President Trump, speaking of rallies, going to Kansas today,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: every day, besides working a full day in the White House,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon, he gets on the plane and goes
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: somewhere to another state, does a massive rally for a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: couple hours, and then comes back. It's a long day. Today,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it's Kansas. Shouldn't have to be Kansas. Kansas hasn't had
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a Democrat win for Congress in the for Senate in
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: almost 90 years, since the 1930s. So they shouldn't have
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to be fighting in Kansas or Texas, but they are.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It's midterms, and in every presidency, every president in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: midterms loses the Congress. It's always the case, like 98%
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: of the time. In the midterms, you'll lose the Congress.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It's just always that way. President Trump, as a guy
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: who always defies the odds, 2016, 2024 completely defied the odds.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And he could do it again this time. He's always
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a guy who can pull a rabbit out of his hat.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. He's going to work his ass off
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: for the next 15 days. That's right. It's only 15
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: days until the election. So we'll see what happens. It's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: about driving turnout, driving momentum. Right now, Republicans look very
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: good for the Senate. The House could go either way.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Too close to call. But it's going to be a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: turnout election. Whichever side gets the most turnout is going
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: to win this election. Thursday night, there was a dinner
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: at the White House, a little private dinner with Bill Maher.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: The president having dinner, private dinner with Bill Maher, with
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith and with Kid Rock. He invited Bill
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Maher and the second time and he told Bill Maher,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: bring whatever crazy left wing friend you want to bring.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And Bill Maher suggested they bring Stephen A. Smith. So
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the two of them came to Washington for this private
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: little dinner. They didn't know that Kid Rock would be there.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: The president invited him. And it was a long, long dinner.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith didn't know what to expect. Bill Maher
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: had been there before. But Stephen A. Smith said he
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: didn't know what to expect. He thought it'd be, you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the president of the United States, it'd be 20 minutes,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a half hour. It was four and a half hours.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Four and a half hours. Couple hours of dinner. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: then the president took him on a tour of everything,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office, the White House, the colonnade with the portraits.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He took him into the new ballroom. That's right, the
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: new ballroom. The structure is half there already. Some of
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the walls are up and then the floor, everything is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: in there. So he showed him the new ballroom. He
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: took him out to show him the beautiful new helipad.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: He showed him the beautiful new rose gardens. and then
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the dinner and it was a few hours and Stephen A.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Smith said he was there to push for HBCU I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: forget what that stands for it's about black colleges being
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: funded good cause he was there to push for that
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and he was engaged in talking about that about black
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: unemployment that sort of stuff and said the president Listened
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to everything he had to say. Told him he would
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: have something done about all this stuff. He would look
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: into it. And he will. He will. Now, Bill Maher
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: apparently went at him for two hours over a lot
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: of stuff, including the Iran war. I mean, really, really,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: really let him have it about the Iran war. Told
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: him everything he thinks. And the president listened. So that
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean he's going to follow Bill Maher. But he's
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a good listener, despite the myth they tried to create.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He's a phenomenal listener. But Marwin added at great length,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the president listening. People pointed out the Bill Maher lecture
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: on Iran was pretty rough at times on the president,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: but he listened carefully. So, hey, by the way, speaking
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: of that No Kings thing, they got their Instagram shut down.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Their Instagram page was yanked right in the middle of
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the protest. A spokesperson for No Kings said the main
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: accounts for the coalition were frozen, pulled down. administrators lost
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: access at the peak. Jeez, that sounds like something Democrats
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: would do. Well, I mean, that's exactly what happened to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: President Trump. And we didn't hear a peep out of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the No Kings people. Remember, President Trump was banned from Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, everything.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Everything he had was shut down. His bank accounts were
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: taken away. Remember that? Katie Zachariah, Zachariah. Well, I told
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you on Friday she'd probably survive. I was wrong about that, boy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: But the problem is, if you go back and watch
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the press conference, if you just read the transcript, it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: not bad. She's pretty good. Nothing wrong with anything she
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: said if you read the transcript. The problem is her voice.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's not authoritative. You've got to have a good voice
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to be the spokesman. You can't. Her voice is a
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: little shrill. It's a little childlike.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I am so honored to work for President Trump and
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: the American people.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: And now we have a booming economy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: You see, you've got to have the right voice. It's
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: got to sound authoritative. You know that Corrine Jean-Pierre was
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the worst press secretary we've ever seen. Absolutely horrible. Total imbecile.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But her voice was nice. She had a good voice.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: So it didn't sound as bad as it was. But Zachariah,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: everything she's saying is fine. It's just the voice.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: A great relationship.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: With Venezuela.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: In addition to that, we will be, we will be.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: Doing, yeah, there's 54.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: She's fine, except for the voice. And the other problem
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was the saying she was a lawyer. She had never
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: passed the bar. She did legal work in law firms.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: She worked on major legal projects in law firms, but
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I guess that's, she's working as a lawyer there. You can,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: you can work as a lawyer without passing the bar
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: in a law firm. They have to have a, a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: barred attorney sign off on everything. But it's not a
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: big episode. It's not a big deal. She was let go.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: That happens. President Trump's first term, he had a press
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: secretary who bombed. Remember Stephanie Grisham? She was his third
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: White House press secretary. She was after Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: She wasn't good. She lasted seven months, but she wasn't good.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Also in the first term, Trump picked Anthony Scaramucci, who
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: was considered the worst ever, fired after 11 days. Uh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Sean Spicer, he wasn't good as far as what Trump liked.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't have the Trump look, you know, he, he
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: had kind of a high voice, but he spoke authoritatively. Uh,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the problem was, uh, this sounds crazy, but he always
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: wore these light gray suits, which didn't look good. And
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: at first, uh, press conference afterwards, president Trump turned to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: everybody goes, doesn't this guy own a dark suit? So
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that was the problem. So we've had this problem before
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: with the press secretaries. Uh, And remember, in the first term,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: there was at times some very sloppy vetting. Very sloppy.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Scaramucci should have been vetted better. Everybody should have been
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: vetted much more thoroughly. President got sloppy on that. You know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that's the thing when you're a billionaire entrepreneur and you've
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: created an empire all over the world. You're like a swashbuckler.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: You just go with your gut, go with your instinct.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Most of the time, you'll be right. Some of the time,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you'll be wrong. And that's the way they live. But
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you're not supposed to do that in the White House.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So he went back to the sloppy vetting. She looks great,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Katie Zachariah. That's the look he wants, beautiful, blonde, executive-looking, blonde, hot-looking.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: That's the look he wanted. But you've got to vet them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You've got to vet them much better than that. So
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: he got sloppy on this. Who's going to be the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: next White House press secretary? There's no list yet. Everybody
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: publishes these short lists, but he's got no list in
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: his head. He's not even thinking about it. The number
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: two all along, even under Levitt, was Anna Kelly. She's
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: pretty good. She'll handle the briefings. Stephen Miller's wife, Katie Miller,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: can handle some of them. She was communications director for
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Doge and other things. She was Vice President Pence's press secretary.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: So look for Katie Miller. Stories everywhere that he asked
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Maria Bartiromo. But she turned him down. I don't know
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: if that's true. It's not confirmed by Maria. And I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: can see why she turned it down. It's the worst
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: job in the world. The job is 7 a.m. You've
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: got to be there by 7 a.m. You don't get
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: out until 7 p.m. And then when you're home, they
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: call you every hour because anything happens anywhere, they've got
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to brief you so you're up to speed. So anything, anything.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You get home, 8 o'clock. Oh, you just want to relax.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Now the phone rings. They're briefing you on the latest
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: riot in Paris. Now, uh, it's nine o'clock. They call
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you again. There was a bombing somewhere. Uh, 10 o'clock.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: It's a Linsky attack to Trump. Now they've got to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: brief you. This goes on all night, all weekend. You
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: get woken up in the middle of the night. It's
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a horrible job. You don't get much money. And, uh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're Maria Bartiromo and you're making 10
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: million a year, uh, for you, 150,000 is not going
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to be a lot of money. And, uh, It's a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: lot of fun in broadcasting. It's fun. You come in
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a couple hours early. You've got a huge staff that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: takes care of everything. You do the show. Everybody tells
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you how great you are. You go home. You're done
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: in a few hours. This is easy work compared to
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: a press secretary. Brutal, brutal job. Not to mention you've
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: got to fight with all the cabinet members. You've got
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to fight with Trump. It's intense. If you're unknown, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a great job because when you leave, You can make
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a fortune, a fortune. All these ex-press secretaries have gone
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: on to make huge money, consulting, lobbying, all sorts of stuff. Hey,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot more to get to. Mamdani, another
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: big diss. He really, really dissed another ethnic group. We'll
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: get to that and more coming up next on 710WOR.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here. Three hours every day. It's three hours now.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's 9 to noon every day here on 710WOR.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: So you got France burning down, Paris being destroyed, rioters
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: destroying anything and everything. Well, it turns out, now normally
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: this is student protests or worker protests. This is different.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: A big investigation has been done into all of this.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: There are 54 organizations behind this.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: 54.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Only 16 are the usual organizations, youth organizations, labor unions.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Only 16. The remaining 38 are political parties, left-wing political parties,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: revolutionary organizations, international propaganda outlets, communist groups, radical Islamic groups.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: This is most. This is two-thirds. of the organizations in
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: this rioting. Hey, Mayor Mamdani, this, I don't know if
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it's deliberate or if it's just a bumbling guy with
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: no experience, just a kid who's never had a job,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: but left and right, he keeps offending all these different
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: ethnic groups. Well, not all of them. There's some he embraces,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: but you remember he went way out of his way
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: to diss the Italians. with that map of the ethnic neighborhoods,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: leaving out Little Italy and all that stuff. But now
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: he's really insulted the Polish people. It's another ethnic group
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: he's blown off. There were four Pulaski Day parades this weekend.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: This is a big celebration, the big one on Fifth
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Avenue in Manhattan. He snubbed all of them, boycotted all
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: four Pulaski Day parades, all the Polish parades, all four
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: of them, And here's where he really insulted them. He
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: asked about it. He said, he's not avoiding it. He said,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they'll be included in the big heritage celebration for Eastern Europeans. Well,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: that's very insulting to Poles. They do not consider themselves
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Eastern Europeans. They've always identified as Syrians. European, a part
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: of Europe, a big part of Europe, not Eastern European.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: They don't like that label at all because it's got, obviously,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: a connection with the Soviet Union, Soviet communism, the Warsaw Pact.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: That's not Poland. Poland is Central Europe. So adding insult
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to injury This is hard to believe. The mayor actually
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: ditched a long tradition. There's a Gracie Mansion tradition, Polish
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: heritage reception, always at Gracie Mansion. Not this time. The
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: mayor ditched it, pulled the plug on it, canceled it,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and rescheduled as an Eastern European reception. Again, insulting the Poles.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: They're not Eastern Europeans. Polish Americans are one of the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: largest European ethnic communities in America. Lumping them in with
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Ukrainians and Russians is ridiculous. It's insulting to them because
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: they have a long tradition of being part of Central Europe.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: It shows how ignorant and disrespectful this mayor is to
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: ethnic groups. Now the Poles, these totally alienated Italians, the polls. Obviously,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: he never, ever, ever had the Jews. One by one,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: he's eliminating every ethnic group. Hey, horrible incident on the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: subway this weekend. You know, when you keep hearing crime
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: is down, lowest crime in 100 years, lowest crime in
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: 10 years, the lowest crime rate, all time low. They're
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: talking about the murder rate, mostly. Robbery is up. Felony
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: robbery is up. Subway crime is spiking all year. In fact,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: serious assaults in the subway system spiked 12% in just
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: one year, 12% in one year. Felony assault is up 18%
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: from two years ago, 94% from seven years ago. It's
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: way up. And then you had this shocking incident. Shocking
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: because this is a subway that's usually pretty safe, the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: E train subway. It's always one of the safest trains
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: because it doesn't really go anywhere except midtown to the
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: meatpacking district. It's pretty safe. It doesn't go through any
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: dangerous areas or bad neighborhoods. It's a pretty safe subway.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: The M train is pretty safe. It just goes from
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: midtown to the village. That's about it. But the E train,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: there's an E train station right over there, 7th Avenue
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and 53rd. That's considered one of the most safe train stations. Horrible,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: horrible shooting. This weekend, as the train pulled in and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the doors opened, a passenger shot another passenger firing at him.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Eyewitnesses were stunned.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: We heard the gunshots, so everybody just threw themselves on
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: the floor.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: And then we just kind of sat for a while,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and someone said, get off the train, and I got off.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: And the police were working on the gentleman who.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Had been shot. Now, they're looking for the shooter. They
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: have not identified or at least released the identity of
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: the victim. But I have a feeling it's going to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: turn out they knew each other, that this was something gang-related, crime-related.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: It looks like they knew each other. So the only
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: good news is that it wasn't a random shooting of
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: just a regular citizen. So we'll see. We're waiting to
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: hear about that. They've got pictures of the guy. He's
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: pretty covered up, but they're trying to find out exactly
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: who he is. Hey, we'll get to the governor's race.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman has caught up to Kathy Hochul, and she
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: is in double panic. First, she was in so much
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: panic that she unleashed millions and millions and millions of
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: dollars in attack ads on Blakeman. You've probably seen them
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: all over the place. Ad after ad after ad after
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: ad attacking Blakeman. Spending a fortune running them relentlessly all
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: day and night. That's what you do when you're in panic.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: That's what you do when Blakeman is caught up to you.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: That's what that was all about. Well, now she's in
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: double panic because he's actually rising since the debate. He's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: got money pouring in. So the Democratic Governors Group, that's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: an outside group, they've had to come in and pour
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: in $ 4. 5 million into Hochul's campaign. She's in real trouble.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: She's got plenty of money. She started with like $ 35 million,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: but she spent so much on those attack ads. She's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: draining her resources. Republican governor's group had to come in
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: with $ 4 million to try to rescue her. Anyway, we'll
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: get to that. We'll get back to the governor's race
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: throughout the show. Lots to get to today. We'll take
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: some calls coming up. Mark Simone here, 710WOR, three hours
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: every day. 9 to noon, three hours every day.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Now 9 till noon weekdays. Mark Simone.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: More Mark.
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: On 710WOR.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: 800-321-0710.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: It's fall. Just go outside.
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: It's cold. It's fall. It's autumn.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: This was like the big pumpkin picking weekend. I don't
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: know why anybody does this. You know, they drive way,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: a couple hours out into Long Island, to the North Fork,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to someplace to pick pumpkins. You don't need to do this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You're driving past Uncle Giuseppe's. There are three of them.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: They've got pumpkins all over the place. King's Supermarket. There's
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: pumpkins in front. Christina's Supermarket. There's pumpkins everywhere you go. Balducci's.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: They've got pumpkins right out in front. All the pumpkins
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you'll want. You can go to Costco, they got a
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: million pumpkins. But people want to drive. It's the fun
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: of picking them. You know, you're not really picking them
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: because it's basically a big field where these people put
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: a bunch of pumpkins for you to drive three, four
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: hours to pick. Long Island pumpkin farmers say that sales
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: are way down. They're seeing fewer customers. They say it's
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: competition from big box retailers. Yeah, I think people started
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: to realize... You don't have to drive two and a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: half hours to get a pumpkin. It's like if you
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: wanted a quart of milk, I can go to six
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: places without leaving this block and get a quart of milk.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I don't have to drive two hours to get my
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: own milk from a farm. Meanwhile, farmers are paying more
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: for diesel used to operate the farm machinery to transport
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the pumpkins. They say heavy rain has also hurt some
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: pumpkin crops, kept customers away. Or maybe they just figured
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: out you don't have to drive two hours to get
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: a pumpkin. Anyway, 800-321-0710 is the number. Give us a call.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Especially new callers, 800-321-0710. It's 15 days until the election.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: But not really. It's early voting everywhere. You know, I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: think early voting is on as of today in Connecticut.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: New York people are early voting. A lot of early
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: voting going. Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Mark.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: Early voting today in Florida starts.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Well, they do everything way too early in Florida.
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: Everything.
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 12: Everything.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Everything.
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: You know, I think the Katie Zachariah story and the
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: No Kings protest, they're all kind of related. Each one
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: of these things, like little wins for the left, you know,
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: they take any win, no matter what, big, small, or
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: in between.
• 27:29
  Speaker 12: And they aren't.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: They're not magnanimous when it comes to, like, Trump.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but wait, wait, wait. It's not a win because,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: first of all, nobody, when they do these No Kings protests,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: nobody knows what the hell they're talking about. Nobody knows
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: who they're talking about. You've got to remember, most of
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: America has nothing to do with this. Even Katie's Zachariah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: most of America couldn't care less about this. It's not
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: an issue.
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: You're right.
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: You're right.
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: But they do have, but it's like an attention, you know, getter. And,
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: you know, that's what I'm afraid of. And as far
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: as the pumpkin pickers, I mean, is there any single
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: male that goes pumpkin picking or apple picking? Remember the
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: apple pickers were calling a couple of weeks ago, extolling
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: the virtues of apple picking. I mean, no guy goes
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: under their own free will to go pumpkin picking or
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: apple picking.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: No, it's always the wife. I love to go to
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: department stores, clothing stores on a Saturday and watch. There's
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: always the poor husband who's sitting in the chair. looking
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: so disgusted, waiting for the wife to get done shopping.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: He's forced to come along and sit there, and every
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: so often she'll put something on and walk over to him,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and he's got to go, oh, it looks great, looks great.
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: You see it down here in the supermarkets, the old people.
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: The wife is pushing the carpet, and the old guy
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: is about five feet behind her with this look of saying,
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: when is she going to die? This can't go on forever.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they should just tie a leash around the husband
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: and she should lead him around.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: It's awful.
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: The poor guy is so beleaguered. He goes, I didn't
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: realize this was going to be 30 years after I retired.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: All right. Good call, Mike. Thanks for calling. Yeah, there's
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: pumpkin picking. There's apple picking. How did it become just
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: those two? Why is it just those two? Why isn't
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: there pear picking, peach picking? It's just for some reason.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to any supermarket, they have 27
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: different varieties of apples right there. And unlike the ones
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: in the field, these are all polished and waxed and
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: shined up, and they look great. Let's go to Ralph
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Ralph, how you doing?
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: Oh, we're doing well.
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: Huh?
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Say it again.
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: I'm here.
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: Can you hear me? All right.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Now, what you're saying is, hello, hello, hello.
• 29:43
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Ralph.
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: What I'm saying?
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: I can't, nobody can understand you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 13: What I'm saying is someone needs to have a reality
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: check in regards to how farmers actually try to.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: Make a living.
• 29:57
  Speaker 13: And you're promoting supermarkets to sell pumpkins over farmers. It
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: seems kind of hypocritical.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: No, the farmers... You're complaining.
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: About how people pay cash at the supermarket.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: No, Ralph, the farmers actually make more money from the
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: supermarkets than that two weeks a year pumpkin field out
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in Long Island. The pumpkin producers, the farmers... 98% of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: their money is coming from the supermarkets and Costco and
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: all that where they sell a much, much, much bigger
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: volume of pumpkins. If they were depending on two weekends
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a year and a pumpkin field, they'd all be out
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: of work. Now, it's the supermarkets where they make all
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: their money. Let's go to Jeff in Forest Hills. Jeff,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 30:44
  Speaker 15: Yes, hi, Mark. It's nice to speak with you.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: What's the matter, Jeff? You sound a little down. What's
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 30:50
  Speaker 15: Well, I don't want to get into that. I mean,
• 30:52
  Speaker 15: after all, you use your voice for your living. And
• 30:55
  Speaker 15: unfortunately for me, it's a similar situation. But I wanted
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: to speak with you about the E train and the
• 31:01
  Speaker 15: M train.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 15: You belie your ignorance.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Well, on that note, let's get rid of you. You've
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: got to be polite if you call. Let's go to,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: let's see. Do we go to this guy? Oh, let's
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: go to Gregory. Gregory, how are you doing?
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: Hi, I wanted to talk to Mark.
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: Hang on.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I'll get him.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: Hang on.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I'll get him. Hey, Mark.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: If he has room.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Mark, there's a phone call for you.
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, hello?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 31:30
  Speaker 16: I thought I was going to go through somebody. Mark,
• 31:33
  Speaker 16: I wanted to reiterate the wisdom and value of pumpkin picking.
• 31:38
  Speaker 16: And by the way, there's also strawberry picking.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, God. Strawberry picking.
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: In the spring, it's beautiful.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: But the value of it is this.
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: I agree with the previous caller that a single guy
• 31:50
  Speaker 16: may not be interested in it. But it's a family thing.
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: We should encourage family things. And you don't just go
• 31:56
  Speaker 16: out to get the pumpkins. And you don't just go
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: out to get the strawberries or the apples. You also
• 32:01
  Speaker 16: want to take in the ambiance of the magnificent North
• 32:04
  Speaker 16: Fork of eastern Long Island.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: That's the key.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. That's a very good point. You're absolutely right.
• 32:11
  Speaker 16: But... We have fantastic restaurants out here to go to,
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: like Jedediah Hopkins House, historic places like that. Hey, the
• 32:20
  Speaker 16: North Fork is— You can learn about farming.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: You can learn.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: How do these things grow.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good point. That's a very good point.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: North Fork is beautiful. It's just a long way away.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: If you live near there, it's great. But if you're.
• 32:33
  Speaker 17: Taking your kids— Yeah, but it's like a staycation.
• 32:37
  Speaker 16: It's like a staycation. It's a family thing. You go
• 32:41
  Speaker 16: out here. Take Greenport, for instance, which is a short
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: distance away from on the end of the North with
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: the fishing boats coming in and the short ferry ride
• 32:50
  Speaker 16: to Shelter Island. It's an unsung hero of the East Coast.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: No, that's a good point. That ferry to Shelter Island
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: and Shelter Island itself is so breathtaking and beautiful. But
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: it's like four hours away. It's too far away. It's true.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: If you leave in the city.
• 33:07
  Speaker 16: What about people who want to go from Long Island
• 33:11
  Speaker 16: into the city or people who want to travel to
• 33:13
  Speaker 16: those magnificent four colors in the upstate.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Shorts a couple of hours, but you stop on the way.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: But when you get there.
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: You're not wrong. You're not wrong. You're absolutely right. These
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: are very good points. Excellent call. The only thing is
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you got to take into consideration lazy people like me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: We live in the city. We don't like to drive
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: for three hours. We like to drive for like half
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: an hour, 40 minutes. You know, if you're leaving the
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: city to go out to Long Island, go stop at
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the planting fields. It's near Oyster Bay. It's the most unbelievable, beautiful, scenic.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: You can walk around there for hours. What's the other one?
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Old Westbury Gardens is beautiful. It's closer. You want to
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: see water and all that. Go to Oyster Bay. A
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: lot of beautiful areas. But I understand. I'm probably wrong
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: on this. You got to have little kids and a
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: family and taking them pumpkin picking. All right. It's a
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: great thing. See, I'm from the Midwest. We did all
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: that stuff, but it wasn't two and a half hours away.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: It was closer. Anyway, we'll take some more calls later.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: We got a lot coming up. I'm here three hours
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: every day, nine to noon every day. So don't forget.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: And then coming up at noon, Buck Sexton and Clay Travis,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: a great show. And then at three, the most listened
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: to radio show in America, Sean Hannity, here on 710WOR. Hey,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to in the next hour. Let's
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: get all the latest news now. 710WOR.
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: More Mark.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: The Mark Simone Show.
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: On 710WOR.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Welcome to hour number two. That's right.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: If you still don't know, the show is now three hours.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: We start at 9 a.m. It's now nine to now
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: three hours. It wasn't my idea, but it's worked out
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: very well. Nine to ten hour is way, way up
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: in the ratings and we are killing everybody between nine
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: and ten. So thanks to you, we got a lot
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to get to this hour. We'll get to all sorts.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Bruce Blakeman, Kathy Hochul. Blakeman, I think,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: is on his way to a big victory. A lot
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: of momentum there. The midterms, Republicans most likely will win
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the Senate. Looks very good for the Senate. Now, the House,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: that could go either way. It's just too close to call.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And the polls are very... crazy rigged and skewed, so
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: you can't go by them. It's hard to tell. Now,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: you've got a lot of places like Michigan where you've
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: got this crazy Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed, this communist crazy, almost
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: a doctor, not quite a doctor, a little bit of
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: a doctor, but he's not really a doctor. And you've
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: got the normal candidate, good, solid guy, Mike Rogers running
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: in Michigan. Forget what the polls show. They're always skewed
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: way to the left. Michigan, I'm from Michigan. Michigan's a good,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: common-sense kind of place. You've got to figure. There's a
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: couple of pockets of crazy, radical voters, but most of
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Michigan will go with Rogers. And Rogers still battling El-Sayed.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: He can't even get along with his other senators.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: He's already threatened one of his Democrat senators, put his
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: head on a pike.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, this guy's angry and divisive.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: And when he does that kind of thing, you're never
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: going to get a problem fixed.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's him on El-Sayed. El-Sayed... In the Senate,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: the Democrats in the Senate, they don't want Al-Sayed. They
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: do not want to work with this guy. Here's Al-Sayed
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: yelling and screaming about something.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Why do you think that Republicans are really using you
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: to attack the whole Democratic Party?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I think we all well know why they're doing it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: My name's Abdul. I'm Muslim. It's not the communist stuff.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: It's not the crazy positions you've taken. It's your first name.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: That's what Most voters, that's what they go by. They
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: vote based on the first name. You're always going to
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: get this kind of stuff. Even crazy Kathy Hochul, Blakeman
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: was just mopping the floor with her in the debate,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: and she panicked, and she went total panic. Remember, she
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: started yelling, Blakeman is a QAnon. He's hanging around with
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: white supremacists. Now, of course, it's preposterous when you look
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: at Bruce Blakeman, but that's what you do. When you're
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul and you're in desperate trouble in a debate,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: you pull out that crazy low-life Joe Biden kind of crap.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: That's what Biden used to do in a debate. He'd
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: yell and scream, you're a white supremacist, you're a QAnon,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you're an alt-right. Nobody knows what the hell QAnon is
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: or what alt-right is. It's some chat room on the
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: internet that nobody's been in, nobody knows about. I mean,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: he said he's hanging around with QAnon. He couldn't hang
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: around with QAnon if he wanted to. Nobody knows who
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the hell it is or where it is. If I
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: said right now, let me go hang out with QAnon,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: where's that? So it was real low-level Joe Biden crap.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: The fact that Hochul resorted to that was, it was
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: an amazing moment. And it just shows how empty her
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: argument was that she tried that kind of crap. So
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: here's the problem. If, let's say Democrats were to win
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: the whole thing, Senate, House, they're not, but let's say
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: they were. They would then go full crazy. They would
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: be able to pass anything and everything. They would pass
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: the most radical, crazy nonsense. They'd impeach Trump. They would
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: just go berserk. This would cost them the 2028 election.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: So you've got to remember, if they win big, they're
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: going to lose in 2028 because the public won't like
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: all this crap they're going to do. So they would
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: lose in 2028. Also remember, even if they just win
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: the House, that will give them a lot of power
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: in Congress. They will come for Chuck Schumer. They will
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: take him out. Chuck Schumer is the worst politician, the
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: most awful thing that ever happened in New York. He
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: may have been good in the beginning, but he just
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: became a low-life, cheap politician, just doing favors for donors,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: collecting money. He's always there when you don't need him.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: He's never there when you need him. When the crazy
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: anti-Semitism was putting kids in Columbia University and other places
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: in great physical danger. where was Schumer? Left town. Remember
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic? Left town. Remember during the riots? Left town.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: He's always hiding. He's never there when you need him.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Only there when you don't need him. When the anti-Semitism
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: spread like wildfire, he ran the other way. In fact,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: he even went along with all the crazy democratic socialists
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: and anti-Israel and anti-Semites. You know, in the middle of
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: all that, he wrote a book called Anti-Semitism. That was
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: just for cover. That was just in case anybody brought
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: up the fact that he was playing along with these anti-Semites.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: He could point to the book. That's the only reason
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: he wrote that book, just to give himself some cover.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: But it fooled nobody. It didn't fool anyone. And obviously,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Republicans don't like him, except the donors. But Democrats don't
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: like him either, except the donors. But he's finished. If
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: the Democrats win big, first thing they're going to do
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: is throw Schumer the hell out. That'll be the end
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: of Schumer. A lot of establishment politicians will get thrown
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: out if these crazies win. But it looks like Republicans
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: will hold the Senate. The House could go either way.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: You'd need a lot of momentum and a lot of turnout.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: That's what this No Kings rally was about. But also
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: you got Donald Trump out there. If anybody can pull
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: a rabbit out of the hat, it'll be him in
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: the end. The midterms are 15 days away. They're two
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: weeks from tomorrow. You're in the final two weeks of
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: the campaign. And you got to remember, there's early voting
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: already getting underway. So the election is pretty much on
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: right now. Hey, in the Ukraine, Zelensky turning on President Trump.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: which not a smart thing to do, but in his defense,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: President Trump turned on him first, even last week saying
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Ukraine should get a new leader. Now, from the beginning,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: the only reason the Ukraine survived is the U.S. backed it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: The only reason the Ukraine is still there is because
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: we provided all the weapons, all the military power, all
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: the money for the first few years. The war is
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: like now, it's like year 27 of this war. Actually,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: what is it, year five already? Year four or five
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: of this war? But we totally saved Ukraine with weapons,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: with money, with everything they needed. Now, give Ukraine credit,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, they started to make
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: their own weapons. Drones, state-of-the-art, unbelievable drones. They even started
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: to build their own drone factories. They're turning them out
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: by the thousands. Then they started to make their own missiles.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: their own missile factories. Zelensky has been brilliant about that. Ukraine, amazing.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: That's how we won World War II, by coming up
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: with the right weapons and being able to manufacture them
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: a lot bigger and better than the enemy. Well, that's
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: what Ukraine has done here with drones and missiles. So
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: that's great. But we've needed them to stop doing certain things.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Don't take out the Russian oil refineries because that drives
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: up the price of oil like crazy. And President Trump
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: asked him to stop hitting the refineries. Zelensky didn't listen.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: And then the next day and the next day and
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: the next day took out Russian oil refineries. He's still
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: doing it. So that upset President Trump. He let Zelensky
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: have it. He even said you should get a new
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: leader in the Ukraine. So Zelensky is going now after Trump.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: He's afraid to come right out and attack him. But
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: he kind of did here by saying it's the EU,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: the European Union. They've kind of stepped in, and they've
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: been helping out with money and whatever. So listen to this.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: He's trying to praise the EU, European Union, but he's
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: kind of letting you know, forget Trump. The only ones
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: that are there for me are the EU.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I'm so thankful that we have such huge support from EU,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Council Commission, and leaders, real leaders, so that they stay
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: with us from the very beginning of this war.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: See what i mean uh there are leaders real leaders
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: you know unlike trump all right he's entitled to that
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: trump went after him first but this is what was
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: supposed to happen in the first place it was supposed
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: to be the eu back and we didn't we weren't
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: it was supposed it wasn't just supposed to be us
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: with the money and the weapons where was the eu
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: for the first three four years they should have been
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: handling this it's in their backyard it's their problem a
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: lot more than it's ours Hey, and it turns out,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: remember last week, the Starlink, the Elon Musk system, the
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: satellite system, Starlink, and they have the military version, which
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: is way beyond the civilian version, the military version. They
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: were depending on that for communications to get their intelligence, U.S.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: providing them with intelligence. The Starlink was vital to them
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: to find out targeting and all that stuff. Well, it
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: went down last week for a couple of days. And
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Zelensky blamed Elon Musk. Elon Musk then tweeted out he
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: has nothing to do with turning on or off the Starlink.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: That would be the U.S. military and the president. And
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: then the U.S. military and the president said they didn't
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: turn it off. They didn't do anything to it. Zelensky
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: didn't believe them. But now it turns out that it
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't the U.S. or President Trump. We didn't shut it down.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: It's just something in the system, it shut itself down
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: for a couple of days. Here's Marco Rubio. Well, I
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: don't know what Zelensky said. I'm not sure Zelensky knows
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: what he's talking about, but it wasn't deliberate. We had
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with it. The United States, nobody ordered
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: that Starlink speed to be slowed down.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: It sort of happened.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you've seen this happen to anything, digital, anything, Internet.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: It can all of a sudden slow down and needs
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: to be fixed, and that was what happened. Hey, speaking
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: of all this stuff, AI.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: You know, the AI stocks have been going crazy. Obviously.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you bought AI stocks a while back,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: you're making a lot of money. Way, way, way up. So,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: why are they suddenly dropping a little? Because a lot
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: of investors have convinced themselves. I don't mean the real investors.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: I don't mean the Warren Buffetts. I mean the amateur investors,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: the other investors. They've all convinced themselves this is a
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: bubble and it's going to burst and they're going to
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: come crashing down. So a lot of them are panicking
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: right now. There's panic. They're selling the AI stocks because
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: they've gone up way too much, way too far. And
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: they'll give you all these stories about how the pattern
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: matches the pattern of the dot-com bubble, of the this bubble.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: It looks like it's a bubble pattern. They can see it.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: They can't see anything. So the AI stocks have been dropping. However...
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden there's big NASDAQ gains because the
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: real investors, the ones that actually know what they're doing,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: are buying the dip. The dip has caused them to
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: come in, and those are the big investors, big money investors.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: So that's why you're seeing this little NASDAQ spike right now.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: You know, the Warren Buffetts of the world will always
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: tell you that when everybody is in panic, when everybody
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: says it's crashing, when everybody's fleeing, That's when they buy.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: That's the time to buy. When everybody's enthusiastic, don't buy.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: When everybody's in panic, everybody's in fear, that's when they buy.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: So Bruce Blakeman has caught up to Kathy Hochul in
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: the polls. He may even be passing her right now.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: But don't get complacent. This is a turnout election. You've
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: got to get out there and vote. Hochul was in
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: panic already. That's why she spent millions and millions on
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: these attack ads. She's using up a lot of her money.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Governors Group had to step in. They had
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: to lend her money. They've poured in $ 4 million. This
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: is how desperate she's getting. Another $ 4 million from them.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Who is that Democratic Governors Group? Well, a big chunk
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: of the money came from Mayor Bloomberg and then from
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: the New York Hospital Association Management Corporation. They each put
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: in a million dollars. Another $ 600, 000 came from the Sports
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Betting Alliance. John Hess, he's the CEO of Hess Corporation.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: He put in $ 600, 000. The Super PAC on Saturday released
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: two different ads slamming Blakeman. Now, what do you attack
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Blakeman on? They did tons of opposition research. They dug
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: into everything about Blakeman. You know what they found? Nothing.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Not a bad, not a damn thing. I mean, they
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: did some serious opposition research. There is no skeleton in
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: the Blakeman closet. They could not find anything to attack
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: him on. So what are the ads? Well, the first
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: one is about MAGA Bruce Blakeman. He's MAGA. He's MAGA.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: He's MAGA. If that's all you got. He is friends
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. He agrees with him on some things.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: He disagrees with him on a lot of things. Disagrees
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: with him on major things. He's pro-choice. Trump is not.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Trump actually is. But he pretends he's not. There's a
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: lot of issues he disagrees with him on. But they're
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: calling him MAGA, the other attack ad. Same thing. Same thing.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: His support of Donald Trump's cost-raising agenda is hurting New York. No,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: he's not supporting anything that's raising costs. Blakeman firing back,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: calling Hochul a useful tool who takes orders from Mamdani.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't call her moderate. She's an extremist. I don't
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: care what she calls herself. but look at her record.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Highest taxes in the United States. Extreme. Utility bills 75%
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: higher than the national average. That's a good point. You
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: want to associate him with Trump when you're totally, totally
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: connected to Mamdani in every way? Hey, we'll take some
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: calls next. 800. 800-321-0710 is the number. We'd love to
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: hear from you, especially if you're a new caller, if
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: you've never called before.
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: 800-321-0710.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone, live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, let's
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: take some calls. Let's go to Josh in Boston. Josh,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 50:04
  Speaker 17: Oh, hi, Mark.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's the Buchanan guy. You can hear the accent.
• 50:09
  Speaker 11: No, I'm not.
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: What are you talking about?
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: You're trying to sound New England-ish. That New York accent,
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: you can't hide that for a second. Let's go to
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: James in Manhattan. James, how are you doing?
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. Mark.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, James.
• 50:25
  Speaker 17: I got a request.
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: I'm glad that you referred to, I think, Schumer and
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: Biden as low-lifes. But I'd like for you to stop
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: using the word crazy and lunatics to describe them all
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: and use the correct word that I think, and it's evil.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I use that word a lot on them.
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: Oh, I usually hear you say crazy.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: No, you've got some kind of filter. You only hear
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: half of what I say, but let's go to Peter
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: in Long Island. Peter, how you doing?
• 50:54
  Speaker 18: I'm doing well, Mark. Thanks for taking my call. I
• 50:57
  Speaker 18: asked your screener about the warfare cases against Trump. I
• 51:01
  Speaker 18: know the ones with Jack Smith have been dropped. But
• 51:05
  Speaker 18: what's happening with Lateef James and Alvin Bragg?
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question. Very good question. Thanks for asking.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: They've been stalled and delayed by Hochul and the Democrats
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: because there's actually no conviction. He's not a convicted felon.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: He's not convicted of anything because technically, technically you're not
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: actually convicted until the judge has done the sentencing. And
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: that's never happened. All the cases against Trump are ridiculously fabricated.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Our greatest legal scholars, even Democrat Alan Dershowitz has said
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: he's read the charges a hundred times and he can't
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: figure out what the hell the crime is. There's nothing there.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: They will all be tossed out on appeal. When it
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: goes to a real court, they'll all be tossed out.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Now you're saying it's two years, two and a half.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Why isn't it going to a real court? Because the
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Democrats are holding it up. Normally when you appeal, it
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: happens within a few months. the most a year, but
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: they control the judges, they control the court process in
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: New York, and they have held up the appeals. They
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: will not let it go to appeal yet because it
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: will get tossed out. He should actually make an issue
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: out of that. He should push that a lot more.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Chris in Montreal. Chris, how are you doing?
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: I'm okay, thanks, Mark. How are you doing?
• 52:20
  Speaker 17: Good.
• 52:20
  Speaker 12: The weekend?
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: The weekend? It's still on. It's not over. The weekend
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: ends on Wednesday.
• 52:27
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 52:28
  Speaker 16: Listen, on Ukraine and stuff, I'm totally embarrassed by Trump.
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, even if he's not in Putin's.
• 52:34
  Speaker 16: Pocket, what he does makes it look like he is.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: It's very hard to defend.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: You've got to remember, you're a panic and you always,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: everything bothers you. There's nobody, no voter, no normal American
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: cares about this. This is like an MS Now issue.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Nobody actually cares about this.
• 52:52
  Speaker 16: The oil depots that Zelensky's been hitting are legitimate military targets.
• 52:56
  Speaker 11: It's hurting them.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. But right now, we don't... If.
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: They stop doing it and then turn around and buy
• 53:03
  Speaker 16: oil from Russia, us.
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: It looks like Trump's in Putin's pocket.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. Only to an MSNBC viewer.
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: I'm not watching MSNBC.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: I listen to you. But you're always a panic, and
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: you're a great reverse barometer of everything, because whatever you
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: predict never happens. I... The only reason he's doing this
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: with Putin, he'd like to get the price of diesel down.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: It's the funniest thing in the world. Democrats yelling and
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: screaming and screaming, get the price of diesel down. The
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: price of diesel is the most important thing. Well, Zelensky
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: blowing up diesel refineries is driving the price up. So
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: he asked him to stop for a couple of weeks.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Zelensky wouldn't listen. This Trump is in Putin's pocket. How
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: long is that now they've been doing that? 10 years.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: There's no, there's nobody that hates Putin more than Trump.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: And there's nobody hates Putin, uh, hates Trump more than Putin.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: They are not in anybody's pocket. Let's go to Joe
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: in Lincoln park. Joe, how you doing?
• 54:03
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm so glad you're on for three hours. It
• 54:07
  Speaker 17: gives me three hours of common sense and peace and
• 54:10
  Speaker 17: hearing the facts. Hey, I'm a registered voter. I'm out
• 54:13
  Speaker 17: of the country. I called Morristown for, uh, you know.
• 54:17
  Speaker 16: Uh, absentee ballot.
• 54:19
  Speaker 17: They check me out. I'm a registered voter. They send
• 54:21
  Speaker 17: me an application. I fill out the application. They send
• 54:24
  Speaker 17: me back the absentee ballot. Where are these absentee ballots
• 54:28
  Speaker 17: coming from? If you're not a registered voter, you can't
• 54:31
  Speaker 17: get an absentee ballot.
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: Help me on this.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Do you want me to help you? I don't know.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: It's New Jersey. You're crazy over there in New Jersey
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: as far as your government.
• 54:39
  Speaker 17: No, I'm in the red side of New Jersey.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: No, I know, but it's New Jersey. It's New Jersey government.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Just go in person and vote. If you can't get
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: the absentee ballot, just show up somewhere and get it.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't trust New Jersey and their absentee ballots anywhere. Hey,
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: that guy said peaceful, right? That's one thing about this show.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's common sense. We try to be,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: but it's a peaceful show. No yelling, no screaming. You
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: know how you listen to, I've been listening to some hosts.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: They're usually newcomers. They're not really radio hosts. They're trying to,
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden somebody puts them on the radio.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: They're always yelling. They think you got to yell to
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: make your point. You know, when they try to talk
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: to you like this, and they're always, as Churchill said,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: people scream when they got nothing to say. You can
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: talk normally. It's radio. You don't yell on the radio.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: It's not like TV where, you know, when the viewer's
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: watching television, he's across the room. He's 15 feet away
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: on the couch. When they're listening to the radio, it's
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: right in their ear. Or it's in the car and
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: the speaker is like a foot and a half from them.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Don't yell at them on the radio. Let's go to
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 55:54
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. As you well know,
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: being in show business, sometimes optics and the perception matter
• 56:03
  Speaker 12: and mean more than the actual reality. What the gentleman
• 56:08
  Speaker 12: two calls ago said about Trump here and there making
• 56:12
  Speaker 12: complimentary statements about Putin. Putin's a degenerate. People that I
• 56:18
  Speaker 12: don't like and that I have to do business with,
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: I don't make complimentary statements.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: That's a different kind of business. This is politics. I
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: know it's politics. It works. It actually works. It worked
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: on the nut job in North Korea, Kim Jong-un.
• 56:32
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 56:34
  Speaker 12: Trump didn't want to sell Zelensky to Tomahawk Missiles because
• 56:39
  Speaker 12: they had a greater range that could have reached right
• 56:42
  Speaker 12: into Moscow. They had a 1,500-mile range. Putin, Zelensky made
• 56:48
  Speaker 12: his own, which have a bigger payload, cost one half
• 56:53
  Speaker 12: the amount. There's no perception problem there. I don't see
• 56:59
  Speaker 12: why Zelensky should put a bomb right in Red Square.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: I know, but you've got to remember, Trump right now,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: he doesn't want the oil refineries blown up because it'll
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: drive the pressure.
• 57:10
  Speaker 12: Well, Zelensky, if you're listening, blow all of them up.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, of course Zelensky wants to, but it's like,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: let me put it in terms you can maybe relate to.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: When Michael Corleone said about Hyman Ruff, Don't go after him.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: I have business with Hyman Ross. Leave him alone right now.
• 57:27
  Speaker 12: It's that kind of thing. Yeah, and then a couple
• 57:29
  Speaker 12: episodes later, the guy shot him in the airport when
• 57:34
  Speaker 12: he was trying to come back after Israel trumatted the country.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Very good point. Excellent point. Vincent, thanks for calling. We'll
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: get all the latest news because when we come back,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: we've got the greatest columnist in the world. Michael Goodwin
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: will be with us next on 710WOR.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Now nine till noon weekday.
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: Smart.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Simmo. Only on 710WOR.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Well, let's turn now to the greatest columnist in America,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin. His columns every Sunday and every Wednesday in
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: the New York Post. And you can get all his columns.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: They're all up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 58:13
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark.
• 58:14
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, a great column yesterday. Now, explain this to me.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Socialists are at war with Mamdani because he's
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: not radical enough for them? Is that the case?
• 58:26
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 58:27
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's amazing, isn't it, that he is very radical,
• 58:31
  Speaker 10: the most radical mayor in New York history. And yet,
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: for many of his fellow travelers, he's given in, right?
• 58:41
  Speaker 10: He's changed his stripes. He's compromised too much. particularly on
• 58:46
  Speaker 10: the police and keeping Jessica Tisch as commissioner. And he's
• 58:53
  Speaker 10: now also accused of being a sellout to the Palestinians.
• 58:58
  Speaker 10: I mean, this is crazy talk, but I think these
• 59:03
  Speaker 10: are the sorts of people who are burning down Paris.
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: So we're lucky we're only getting a fight so far.
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: But this is the danger of this new left radicalism.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the fires, the rioting, the destruction of Paris, of
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: much of France. What do you think? That'll have some
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: effect on the midterms. People might realize you don't want
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: these left-wing crazies in power.
• 59:26
  Speaker 10: I think it could and it should. I think people
• 59:29
  Speaker 10: should wake up and look at what these leftists are
• 59:33
  Speaker 10: really about. They're not really about building a socialist state
• 59:39
  Speaker 10: so much as they are about tearing down the nation
• 59:43
  Speaker 10: that exists now. So if you like your health care, right,
• 59:48
  Speaker 10: you can keep it. That was a big lie. Well,
• 59:51
  Speaker 10: it's a big lie now, too, that they would change
• 59:56
  Speaker 10: everything to give the government more power. That's what the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 10: left believes in. It trusts only the power of the state,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 10: not individual liberty, not private power of any kind, not
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 10: corporate power, only government power. Now, I think most Americans
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 10: are repelled by that idea, yet enough of them are
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 10: being hoodwinked that this leftist movement has to be taken seriously.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 10: I mean, Mamdani's election is the clearest example, but many
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 10: of the Democrats running in this midterm election are also far, far,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: far off the deep end.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: This whole war on Mamdani, and I guess they want
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: him to get rid of Jessica Tisch. I mean, she's
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: been a pretty fine... police commissioner. Is this just anti-Semitism?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Is that why they want to get.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 11: Rid of her?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 10: I think that's a part of it, Mark. Obviously, she's Jewish.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 10: She often wears a Jewish star and a necklace, and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 10: she's made no bones about it. And yet, she has
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 10: not been commissioner in in a way that favors any
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: group over another. She has been very even-handed and she
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 10: has been fundamentally sound in using the tactics and the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: knowledge developed over years of intelligence gathering, you know, under
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 10: the Giuliani years, right? And then the Bloomberg years. So her...
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 10: Real supporters were Ray Kelly and Bill Bratton. Now, that's
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 10: quite a lineage. And she is the inheritor of their
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 10: police leadership. So she is doing a fine, fine job.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: And I think Mamdani would be crazy to fire her
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 10: just to give a scalp to the far-left maniacs.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about Israel. Netanyahu, the election is next week.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: It's a week from tomorrow.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: President Trump came out with a big endorsement for him.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: And what do you think? What do you think will
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: happen in Israel?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 10: You know, I've talked to a lot of people who
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 10: know more about this than I do, and nobody seems
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 10: to know. Nobody has a firm grasp about which way
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 10: it's going. I have some friends who are going back
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 10: to vote. Most Americans, I think, who are Israeli citizens
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 10: as well, dual citizens, do not like Netanyahu, from my experience.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 10: But there's nobody on the scene who can rival him.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 10: And so, for example, there are 10 Muslim Arab seats
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 10: in the Knesset out of 120. And the leader of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 10: the two parties, each with five seats, and they have offered,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 10: they will give their 10 votes to any candidate who
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 10: promises to create a Palestinian state. And none of the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 10: major candidates have accepted the offer. They know that's a
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 10: very unpopular position in Israel, that the creation of a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 10: Palestinian state, I mean, where? Who's going to protect? What
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 10: are the rules? So they find no takers. So That's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 10: the kind of thing that suggests Netanyahu still has the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 10: largest base of the three main candidates.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: A great number of people in the U.S. have Israeli citizenship.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: They're asking them to fly back to Israel just to vote.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: But you're right. A lot of them are flying back
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: to vote against Netanyahu. And what is the argument against Netanyahu?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Is it just Netanyahu derangement syndromes?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, I think to a certain extent, Mark,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 10: some of it is just exhaustion, fatigue. I mean, he's
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 10: been around forever. He's been the prime minister, the longest
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 10: serving prime minister, not continuously, but he's like the rubber ball,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 10: you know, you squeeze it and it just comes back.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 10: That's what his career has been. And people, October 7th,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 10: of course, he explained for not being more aware of
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 10: what was coming. And then the whole issue of the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 10: West Bank, of what's going on, the fact that he
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 10: won't really curb that because his majority depends on some
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 10: of those kingmakers in his party. So I think that
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 10: he has been far from a perfect prime minister, but
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 10: it's a democracy, the only democracy in the Mideast. And
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 10: so if he wins... it will be because he is
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 10: the choice of the free voters.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you're right. You know, as Ed Koch will tell you,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: or George Pataki will tell you, once you get into
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: the third or fourth term, a lot of people start
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: turning on you.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: It looks like Netanyahu now believes in a one-state solution.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: He may be right. We tried that two-state solution, and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: look how that ended up. Right. What do you think?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 10: Yes. Well, I mean, that's... That's sort of the theme
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 10: of a book by David Friedman, who was the American
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 10: ambassador during Trump's first term. And he believes that the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 10: West Bank and whatnot should be treated in the same
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 10: way that America treats Puerto Rico, for example. The Puerto
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 10: Ricans can vote in local elections, but they cannot vote
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 10: in the national election. He believes that is a model.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 10: for how Israel should handle the West Bank. It should
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 10: annex it, but then keep it somehow as a protectorate
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 10: rather than a full-fledged citizenship in the complete way. So
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 10: it's an interesting argument, and there are no other good
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 10: arguments on the table. So I'm not sure where this
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 10: ends up.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Well, Michael Goodwin, great column yesterday. Everybody can go read

  Speaker 2: Three hours. Pain in the neck.

  Speaker 10: Three hours.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: But it's doing very well. We got all the latest ratings.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: The September ratings are out. I'm looking at them. I'm
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: not allowed to read all the breakdowns. That's proprietary. You
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: got to be a Nielsen subscriber. Let's just say we
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: crushed the competition. 9 to 10 in the demo. That's
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: the most important thing. Crush the competition. 6 a.m. until noon.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: WOR way up. Doing very well. Beating the competition in, again,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: the demos. That's what you want to win. It's 25-54.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: They have these certain demos. Men 35-64. That's where you
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: want to win. That's where all the advertising dollars are.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: But we did incredibly well. It's going to be definitely
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: autumn all week. It's cold today, although it's going to
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: go up to about 60, maybe 63 today, 65 tomorrow.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Mid-60s all week, and then next week, too, although it'll
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: be a little cooler. Another cold weekend, but dry. This
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: is the first Sunday. Yesterday was the first Sunday without
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: rain in like four weeks, so that's pretty good. Hey,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: we got another hour to go. And don't forget, if
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: you can't listen to the show live, get the podcast.

• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we got a lot to get to this hour.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: So there were a couple of incidents with President Trump.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: There's a whole world of MSNBC and CNN and all
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: the left-wing kook sites and all the left-wing, the Daily
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: Beast and Politico, all the left-wing mediaite and They come
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: up with something where President Trump has done something wrong.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: And aha, they got him. This time they got him.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: And they broadcast it all over their left-wing networks. And
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: then all the left-wingers, all the old ladies with the
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome, they all start clucking away. Aha, look
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: at this. We got him. Look what he did. They've
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: been doing this for 10 years now. Literally 10 years.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, 10 and a half years now. Not one
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: of them has ever mattered. They don't realize nobody in
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: the public knows about it, cares about it, couldn't care less.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: The big one this weekend was President Trump was doing
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: one of the rallies. And then the rally was over.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: And he goes backstage and he comes down. They had steps.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: It's a big, big stage up there. You got to
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: come down the steps to get to the car. And
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: he comes down the steps. And he walks right past
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: the beast, the car, the presidential limo. They got the
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: door open or wait. He walks right past it, not
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: just past the door, but like 10 feet past the car.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: And the Secret Service says, Mr. President, that's the car
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: over there. Oh, now the video has gone viral. The
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: left wing are passing around. You're going to see this
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: on The View today and Joy Behar and everybody going
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: to tell you, aha, he's got dementia. Look at it.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: It's worse than Joe Biden. He's got dementia. Dementia, dementia, dementia.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: Didn't even recognize. Well, go look at the video. The
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: car is not where it's normally. Normally you come down
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: the steps and there's the motorcade over there. Sideways. The
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: sides of the car. So you see the beast. It's
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: the beast. I don't know why this time they backed
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: the car in like right next to the foot of
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: the stairs. So all he sees is the back of
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: the car. And frankly, go look at the video yourself.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: From the back, you can't tell it's the presidential limousine.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: It just looks like a regular car from the back.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: The doors are open, but it's not where the car
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: normally would be. Hey, and the other thing, by the way,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but there's now
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: that special limousine that he rides in, the Beast, there's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: now usually two or three of them in the motorcade,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: just to deceive any attacker. You don't know which one
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: is the one he's in, so they have a few
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: of them. But it doesn't mean, first of all, dementia?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: The guy just ad-libbed for three hours on stage. He
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: did a three-hour ad-lib performance on stage. I don't think
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: he has any dementia. And they run around with this.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: This has been going on for two days. Super viral.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: They're all talking about it. Aha, we got him. Nobody
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: in the public, not one member of the real public,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: knows anything about this or cares. Now, the other one
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: was Katie Zachariah. Not sure how you pronounce it, but
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: she's gone, so I don't have to worry about it.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: Katie Zachariah. They think this is a big issue. Aha!
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Look at the mistake. He hired somebody, the press secretary.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: She wasn't very good. Had to fire in one week.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 15: Aha!
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: We got him. There's nobody in the public that cares
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: about this, even knows about it. They heard about it
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: for a second. In four days, there's nobody in the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: world that will know who Katie Zachary is, unless she
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: gets another job or something. But the big issue that
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: if you're watching all the shows, the MSNBC, the CNN,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: She lied about being a lawyer. Well, I don't know
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: if she lied. She was deceiving about it because she
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: forgot to mention she's not an actual attorney who passed
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: the bar. You can still be a lawyer without passing
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: the bar. You can work in law firms. She even
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: did work in some big law firms on some big cases.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: You just have to have an actual barred attorney sign
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: off on it. But they keep talking about this. She's
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: not an attorney. Turns out she didn't pass the bar.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: She's not a lawyer. Well, she wasn't. Hired to be
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: the White House general counsel. She wasn't hired to be
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: the attorney general. Nobody has a law degree. Nobody passes
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: the bar to be the press secretary. It has nothing
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: to do with it. She's also not a doctor. You
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: don't need to be a lawyer or a doctor to
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: be the press secretary. So the president got rid of her.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: She was a little silly not making that clear about
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: the lawyer stuff. And she just didn't have a good voice.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: You can't talk like that and be the press secretary.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: It's not a press secretary sound. So she was fired.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: But the president was very nice about it. And they'll
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: make sure she finds something. They'll make sure it's a
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: nice soft landing. She'll get some nice job somewhere. They'll
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: make sure of it. Vice President Vance and his wife
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: took her to dinner Friday night. And the president. Didn't say,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: you know, it's not working out. You stink. You're fired.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: It's a nice way to do it because she was
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: under attack, just merciless attack day and night. And he
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: just said to her, when I get back, we're going
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: to talk because I don't think that Katie should be
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: made to suffer like she's suffering at the hands of
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: the press. So I will talk.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 13: To her as soon as I get back.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: And that's what they, that's what he said to her.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: He just sat her down and said, you don't need this.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: You're going to be attacked relentlessly. You don't need it.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: Katie's been treated very badly by the media.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Very, very badly. Very unfairly, I think.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 10: And I just spoke to her about it.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: I said, Katie, is this for you?
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 10: Because, you know, she's been treated very rough. And she's
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 10: a nice person.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 15: I said, Katie, you know, you.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 10: Don't have to do this if you don't want.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: She said, this is a lot tougher. I said, welcome
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: to the world of Trump.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, there's a lot of wealthy guys who
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: would love to run for president. And some of them
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: are the top smartest guys in America. And they don't
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: do it because they saw what Trump went through. Who
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: the hell needs that? Who the hell needs every network,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: every fake news, every mainstream, every New York Times digging
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: into everything about you, trashing everything in your life? But
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: the liberal networks, the left-wing networks with their 12 viewers.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: But again, all your left-wing kook friends watch this and
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: whatever they bring up, then they all start clucking about it.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: So Katie Zachariah. It's not an issue to the general public.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: They couldn't care less. But CNN.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: You've got to wonder if she was going into those
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: interviews thinking that they might have been a little bit
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: of an effort to rehab her. But instead, it read
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: a bit more like a sneak attack. There's this sense
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: of like a one to punch with a kiss of
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: death there at the end.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're analyzing this like it's World War II, like
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: it's crucial to analyze.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: It is one of the hardest jobs in Washington, D.C.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is one of the worst press secretaries ever,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: the bubblehead Karine Jean-Pierre.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: It is one of the hardest jobs in Washington, D.C.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Now, here's what I'm talking about. This Karine Jean-Pierre, nice woman,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: but very, very low IQ, totally unqualified to be the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: press secretary. But she looked good. It was attractive. But
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: she had a nice voice. She had a very... professional
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: sort of speaking voice, not the Katie Zakaria, you know,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: She sounded good.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: It is one of the hardest jobs in Washington, D.C.,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: and you have to prepare, and it takes months and weeks,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: sometimes longer than that, depending on when you come in,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: to get ready for it. I remember when I was
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: White House press secretary, it took me four hours every
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: day to prep with my team. It took me weeks
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: before I went to the podium the first time as
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: a principal deputy press secretary. You cannot just go in
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: there not prepared.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they threw in too fast with like half a
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: day of preparation. But again, see, you got to have
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: a nice voice like Kareem there. A lot of anchormen
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: are like that. I don't want to mention any names,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: but there are a lot of Ted Baxter's out there.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: These anchormen who don't know anything. They're morons. They're bubbleheads.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: They don't even know anything about the news, but they
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: talk like this. They have a voice like this. So
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: when you put on the news and he says, good evening,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: here's the news.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: This guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: And some of them in real life, are the biggest
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: dopes you've ever met. I don't want to mention any
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: names here, but the president is going to be on
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: a blitz all week. He's got an unbelievable schedule. He's
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: got incredible energy. Most people at 40 couldn't do this,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: but he's almost 80 and he's going to do this.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: He's going to go to seven states this week. He'll
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: be in seven states this week. Every afternoon, he flies somewhere,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: does a three-hour rally, just to get on stage for
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: three hours and talk is pretty amazing. But he's going
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: to fly there, fly back every afternoon. Tonight, today, this afternoon,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: he goes to Kansas for the afternoon. He'll be back
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: in the evening. Now, when I say he has to
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: fly there, it's not like you're going to the airport
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: and waiting in the TSA line, waiting at the gate,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: fighting with every pushing and shoving. It's not like you
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: try to fit your bag in the overhead. He's using
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: that unbelievable Super Palace jet that Cutter gave us. You
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: should see this thing. It's like you're in the biggest
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: mansion in the world. It's unbelievable. You should see the
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: presidential suite. It's an unbelievable bedroom. The bathroom is unbelievable.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Paris Hilton doesn't have a bathroom like this. The shower,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: it's amazing. Then there's a kitchen that's unbelievable. Actually, there's
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: two kitchens that are unbelievable. There's dining rooms, conference rooms.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: So it's not like you're on a plane. There's even...
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: A medical center with an operating, sort of an operating room,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: a medical examination center in there. You know, when the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: president travels, they have doctors, they have medical facilities, they have,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: even there's one of the cars in the motorcade that's
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: equipped to do surgery if they have to. If they're
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: out in the field and something god-awful happens and they
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: have to operate right then and there, they can in
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: one of those vehicles. They also have many pints of
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: the president's blood being stored in case they need to
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: use it. I mean, it's unbelievable the precautions they take.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: So France is on fire everywhere. This is not just
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: the usual student protests. These are radical third world lunatics.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: They're all over France. They left the borders wide open.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: President Trump. Now telling France, close your borders immediately. They've
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: got infiltrated half the country now. These wild-eyed lunatics, a
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: lot of them are crazy communist groups. A lot of
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: them are crazy Islamic groups, radical. They're the ones doing this.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: The looting and burning and trashing of buildings and stores
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: all over the place. They've noticed in many cities, somehow
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: they've gotten a list of which stores are Jewish-owned. They've
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: gone after those. They've taken down government buildings. It's out
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: of control. In Paris, they've even burned, destroyed, and looted Hermes,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: Louis Vuitton, Gucci. Now, there are so many husbands in Paris.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Not too upset about this. It's going to save my
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: fortune on the wife's credit card. But it's terrible. Hey,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: let me give you some ICE numbers. Now, this is fascinating.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: You've seen these ICE shootings that happened in New York
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: a week ago. where they shot somebody. It happened in Minnesota.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: It sounds horrible. Why are they shooting people? If you
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: listen to the crazy Democrats, the Kathy Hochuls, the Mamdanis,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: the radicals, ICE is just shooting people all over the
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: streets of America. Let me give you the actual numbers.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: There have been three incidents where ICE has fired at people.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: Three times ICE has fired, shot their guns at people.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: Three times. This is out of 1.3 million engagements they've
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: had with the public. This is out of 1.3 million confrontations.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: Only three times did they fire out of 1.3 million.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: That means they only use their weapons. Now listen to
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: this number. This is how often they use their weapons. 0.0002%. 0.0002%.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: That is one hell of a safety record. That's why
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: the media only covers the three incidents. That's the only
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: ones you hear about. Benjamin Netanyahu is up for re-election
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: a week from tomorrow. Just eight days away, the election
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: in Israel, Netanyahu trying to get elected. President Trump gave
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: him a big endorsement. President Obama trashing him. President Obama, ooh,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: the anti-Semitism is coming out. He accused Israel of stealing land.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: He defends the Palestinian terror. Unbelievable. Obama making headlines. Now,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: he's going pretty radical there. He's joining these crazies yelling
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: about Israel. They took land off people and they were expelled.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: And these people, understandably, this is injustice. I want my
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: land back. Well, it's a little ridiculous. He also accused
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: Israel of ceding moral ground by its conduct. This is
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: pretty anti-Semitic coming from Obama. Netanyahu firmly rejected the idea
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: that Israel had stolen land, pointing out we're the indigenous people.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: This is our homeland. It's called Judea. That's where Jews
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: come from. We're the indigenous people. This is not the
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: first time Netanyahu and Obama have clashed. Even in the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: White House, in the Oval Office, they've had some pretty
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: big fights. Obama, not a friend to Israel.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 15: Not at all.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, I mentioned stock market earlier. The AI stocks. People
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: are panicking, thinking it's a bubble. They're pulling out. The
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: AI stocks are dipping. The smart investors jumping in. Here's
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: the other thing going on. A lot of Wall Street
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: is buzzing about SpaceX. The Elon Musk rocket company. They're
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: buzzing about SpaceX merging with Tesla. I guess this was
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: inspired by that flying car demo. that Musk did. It
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: was a flying car. You've seen the video where the
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: car goes up on that thing and flies through the
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: air and then lands itself. I mean, this is right
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: out of the Jetsons. But apparently that was SpaceX and
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: Tesla combining forces to develop that thing. All the SpaceX
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: knowledge and technology put into the Tesla. So the fact
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: they got together... and worked on that. I guess that's
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: what started the buzzing, but even Barclays and others said
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: a merger could happen before the Tesla annual meeting, which
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: is December 6th. It's got everybody in Wall Street buzzing.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: If they combine, it'll be the biggest, most unbelievable, as
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: far as size and technology, company in the world. So
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: what they just demonstrated is beyond anything. James Bond couldn't
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: imagine a car that could do that stuff. Hey, we'll
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: take some calls next. 800-321- 0710 is the number. Give
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: me a call. Especially if you're a new caller. 800-321-0710.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 15: Three.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 10: 710WOR.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 8: I'm doing very well, thank you. Mark, if I may,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: I'd like to ask you a two-part question.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Go ahead. Okay.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 16: They both involve President Trump.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: You will remember back in January 1992, due to stomach flu,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 8: President Herbert Walker Bush vomited and fainted at a banquet
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 8: held by the Prime Minister of Japan.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 16: Now, my question for number one is, does.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 8: President Trump use a food taster when he travels to
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 8: foreign countries?
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 8: The second part of the question is, Will President Trump
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 8: stick by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles?
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, he already has. Friday night he said she's not
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: going anywhere. She will stay. She's not leaving. Obviously the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Daily Beast, Politico, whoever started that whole story, had it
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: wrong despite their unnamed sources or two people familiar with
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: the matter. Good questions, Dave. They always give you that
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: three people familiar with the matter. Well, apparently they weren't
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: familiar enough. Uh, president does you, doesn't use a food taster.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of times, uh, they make the
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: food on air force one that he'll be eating. Even
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: when he's at a big banquet, uh, appearing on a
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: dais or something where the hotel has got, everybody's got
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: the same meals. He has his own meal. It comes
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: from air force one. I remember once I'm seeing a
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: dinner with a then president, uh, Bush senior HW Bush.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: So I'm the emcee. I'm sitting right next to him
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: on the day. Everybody's got this rubber chicken. It was
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: the New York Hilton. And he's got this much better
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: looking food. It's great. Now, that came from Air Force
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: One where they made it in the kitchen. And he's
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: not eating it. And the dinner's like halfway through. I said,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: you're not going to eat that?
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 12: He goes, no.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: I said, can I eat it? He goes, eh, take it.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: Most of the time, President has his own food, just
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: for security reasons. Let's go to Ralph in Manhattan. Ralph,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 12: Mark, what's happening?
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 9: You know, I'll tell you, these aren't exactly a bunch
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 9: of Frenchmen wreaking havoc in France. I mean, I saw
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: who was out there, and it was pretty remarkable what
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 9: kind of damage they can do. You know, they call
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 9: it protests, Mark, but it's actually riots. I mean, this
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 9: is something resembling a protest. We've already gone through this, yeah. Normally,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 9: every year, there's protests in France. It's always the students,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 9: the unions go on strike.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: This is different. There's... 54 groups, only 16 of them
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: are the traditional. The other 38, because of France leaving
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: their borders wide open for years, the other 38, radical
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Islamist groups, communist groups, third world people, all these crazies
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: are trying to take down France and its government. Let's
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: go to Lucio and Beth Page. Lucio, how you doing?
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 19: Good morning, Mark. I'm a first-time caller.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 10: Welcome.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: Glad you called.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 19: I've been listening to you for years. I wanted to
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 19: talk about Bruce Blakeman. I went to the Columbus Day
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 19: Parade the other day, and I saw Bruce get up
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 19: his Escalade, and he was walking up Lexington Avenue. I
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 19: was behind him for about five blocks, and not one
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 19: person recognized him. That alarmed me.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure plenty of people recognized him.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 19: I was behind him, and nobody looked at him or
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 19: turned back to look at him. And it was insane.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 19: I couldn't believe it.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: Well, how do you know they didn't recognize him?
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 19: Because if they would, don't you think they would turn
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 19: around and say, hey, look, it's Bruce Blakeman, you know?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 19: I thought it was very.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: No, people don't do that anymore.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: People recognize a lot of people. I get recognized all
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: the time, and nobody says anything. I find out later, because...
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, there have been times where I... I didn't
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: want to tell anybody. I said, I can't meet you.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: I'm busy. I'm busy. I'm busy. I have to work
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: all day. I can't see it. And then they'll call
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: me later. He goes, you know, friends. of mine saw
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: you in a restaurant. People saw you there. So people don't,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: just because they recognize somebody. It's 2026. They don't yell
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: and scream your name. Believe me, a lot of people,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: I've walked around with Bruce Blakeman. People come up to
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: him all over the place. People recognize him. Let's go
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: to Sal in Eastchester. Sal, how you doing?
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 14: Hey, Mark, could you speak about another inflation that's out there,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 14: and that is merchants and restaurants charging 3% to use
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 14: a credit card? Isn't that kind of outrageous?
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's how American Express and those credit card companies,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: that's how they make a living. They put a fee
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: on those.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 16: We didn't have this in the past years.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, what happened was we always had it. It
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: was always there. It's just the restaurant paid it. That's
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: why they preferred cash, because if you use American Express,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: they got to pay 3% to them. So now they're
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: passing the cost along to you. It's not just that.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: They used to be able to tip whatever the hell
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: you want. Now it's right on the bill. You've got
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: to check whether you want 15%, 20%, 25%. And the
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: other thing, we mentioned this last week. In California, they've
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: started this trend. It may spread. Besides the tip, if
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: you look carefully at the bill, there's an administrative fee.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: Some restaurants snuck that in the bill, an administrative fee,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: whatever the hell that is. A couple of them even
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: had a thing called venue fee. Which makes absolutely no sense. Hey,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll talk to the great gossip columnist,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: the great writer, Rob Shooter. He'll be with us next,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: so don't go away. 710WOR.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: Well, Rob Shooter, the great gossip, the great columnist, the
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: great writer. Now, you've got to check out his YouTube channel.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: That's Rob Shooter YouTube. And, of course, his sub stack.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: You should subscribe to it. It's naughty but nice. Rob
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: Shooter's sub stack. And then get his book. He's written
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: some great stuff. It started with a whisper. His novel.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: There's a new novel coming. And he's with us now.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: Rob Shooter, how you doing?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 10: Hey, Mark, how are you.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: My friend? It's been a busy, busy couple of days
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: because the Sussexes are back and pretending this time to
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 6: be royals. Lots of drama over in the UK.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: Now, the Sussexes sounds very impressive, but then you find
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: out it's this goofy Harry and Meghan who don't know
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: what kind of work they're out of. Why did they
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: come back here? Are they actually making any money here?
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really curious. So they moved back to Britain
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 6: about six weeks ago. It should be noted they have
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 6: not met or spoken with the king publicly. I'm told
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: there's been some a few private conversations, but they've not
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 6: spoken to William since 2022. So four years ago, there's
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: a rift, an ugly rift within this family. And the queen...
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 6: The queen said when they left, when they decided to leave,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 6: it was the queen who said to them, you can't
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 6: be half in, you can't be half out. You're either
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 6: royals and you do the work or you leave the family.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: And they chose to leave the family. However, when they
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: were in California, the two of them realized that they
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: do not need the palace, the late queen, or anyone
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 6: else's permission to masquerade as royals. He is a prince.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: And so on Thursday, they turned up at a couple
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: of charities in Nottingham, and it looked very much like
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: a royal visit. If you've seen the photographs, they had
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: some crowds outside. Not large crowds, but they were not nothing.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: And they did a walkabout. They met fans. They took selfies.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 6: They kissed babies. And then they left. And this is
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: what they missed. In Britain, to be a prince, to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: be a member of the royal family, it means a lot.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 6: People on the high street, people in Britain... love these
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: royals and they want to get any taste of it,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: any closeness they can. Here, it didn't matter. Harry walking
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 6: into a Starbucks as a prince, nobody cared about that here.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: He missed that. Who wouldn't? And so they're back in
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: Britain being royals and the palace has a real problem
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 6: on their hands here, Mark, because how do they stop them?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 6: You can't stop private individuals doing charity events. So they're
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: probably just going to have to put.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 12: Up with this.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: Now, Rob Shooter, nothing personal, but what the hell does
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: this royal family actually mean anyway? What do they really do?
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: What is the purpose of it?
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: This is why your shows are hit. You just get
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: to the chase. They do absolutely nothing. There is no
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: purpose to it. It is a reality show. It is
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 6: very comforting. Older people will say that they have fond
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: memories of the Queen. But I think for a new generation,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: William knows that changes are going to have to be made.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 6: Gone are the days when you can be born into
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: a position of great power and privilege and expect everybody
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: to bow and curtsy. Now you have to earn that right.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 6: And they haven't done that for generations. And so it's
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 6: really complicated, this new world that we do live in.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: We want people running the show in charge who we pick,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: who we elect. God forbid that if Harry had been
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: born first, Harry would be the next king. And so
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: it's just a real, really dodgy system. It's a system
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 6: that's based on luck. And so far, Britain's had some
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: good kings, some bad kings, some good queens, some bad queens.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 6: But now I think the public, for the first time ever,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: at least in my lifetime, the opinion polls over there
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 6: are 50-50 for and against the monarchy. And so, yeah,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: they've got to get their act together. They cost a
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 6: ton of money. And the Brits are asking the same
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 6: question you just asked, which is, what do we get
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: for all this money we spend on them?
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: You know what the real problem is? I could see
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: years ago Diana or somebody like that. It was glamorous.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: Look how glamorous she looks. Look what she's wearing. Look
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: what restaurant she went to. Look what she's doing. Well,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: that's a million people on Instagram now that do that.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: Every influencer. So what the hell do we need them
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: for anymore?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: You're right to it. The world has changed. And I
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 6: think social media and Instagram, it's changed the way that
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 6: we connect with people. I'm told that when William's king
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 6: and his dad is, you know, is recovering from cancer,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 6: we wish him nothing but the best. But William will
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 6: be the next king forever.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 11: Of England.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 6: Major, major changes are going to be made. I'm told
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 6: that Buckingham Palace will no longer be a palace. It's
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 6: going to be a museum or they're going to turn
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 6: it back to the public. They want the tourists. They
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 6: understand that having a king or a queen brings tourists in,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: the trooping of the colour, the guards outside the palace.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 16: It's all lovely to see.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: It's all history. But it doesn't really have a function anymore.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 6: And so William's going to really streamline it. And William's
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: going to cut off a lot of those royals who
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: are on the gravy train. So when William's king, things
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: will change. But for the next few years, while his
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: dad's on the throne, Harry's going to do whatever the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 6: hell he wants.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 16: There's nothing they can do about it.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: Rob Shooter has a new novel. You can pre-order it
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: right now. You should. He's got great books. The new
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: novel is Queen Elizabeth III. Tell us, what is this
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: book about? Tell us.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: So what this book's about is it's set 15 years
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 6: in the future. So fast forward 15, 15 years, and
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: I write a novel with a new queen on the throne,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 6: and it's not who you think it is. There is
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 6: a disaster. There's an abdication. There's decisions that are made,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 6: and it turns the royal family upside down. And so
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: in 15 years from now, it's not William. It's not
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: William's children. I have a young lady who suddenly becomes
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 6: queen through really exceptional circumstances and what that looks like.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 6: And so it's a fun, it's novel, it's all fiction.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: None of this is going to happen. I don't want
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: any of this to happen. But I think it's a
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: real story about families. You know, they're the most famous
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 6: family in the world. And that family is a family business.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 6: And anybody who's ever worked in the family business, it
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 6: can be really difficult. So it's a story about what
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 6: it's like to work with your relatives, a bit jealous.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 16: You know, is it possible for.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 6: A mother to be jealous of her daughter? What happens
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: with that? Is it possible to find love, to have
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 6: any normality in your life if you're the queen of England?
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 6: And so it's a really fun family drama that just
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 6: happens to be set up. within the most famous family
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 6: in the world.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody go pre-order. It's a new novel, Queen Elizabeth III.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: It's by Rob Shooter. Pre-order it right now. Hey, this
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson thing was the stupidest story I've ever heard.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, you go into certain stores, they got something
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: on the wall that's amazing, but it's part of their decor.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: It's not for sale. What didn't she grasp about that?
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: And she didn't get her own way. So she turned
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 6: up in Brooklyn. And I'm sure anyone that's been into
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: a store in Brooklyn, they're kind of hip and cool.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 6: They're a little too cool for school. And there's always
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: a little bit of an attitude. I was in Brooklyn
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 6: a couple of weekends ago, and I went to get
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 6: a cup of coffee and a bagel.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 16: And I just wasn't.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: Cool enough for the store, and they let me know it.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 6: So there's something about Brooklyn. They like Harry Styles. They
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 6: like Zoe Kravitz. They're really hipsters. And so Kelly turned up.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: She's never been the coolest celebrity in the world. She
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 6: turned up. She wanted to buy this bird, this mechanical
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 6: bird on the wall. They told her it was not
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: for sale. But they did tell her, this is the
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 6: artist who made it. You can contact him and he'll
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 6: give you a special commission. That wasn't good enough. And
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 6: I think what.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 16: This is, is it's David and Goliath, isn't it?
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 6: It's celebrities. It's people with power acting very, very poorly.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 6: You know, this story. it's a mom and pop store
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 6: in Brooklyn. They're not getting death threats. Eight million of
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 6: Kelly Colloxon's fans now know where this store is. And
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 6: so I'm really shocked about Kelly doing this. I've known
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 6: her for a long time since American Idol.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 16: I know a lot of celebrities, Mark.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 6: I know you do too. Most of them are not
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: that nice. Kelly Clarkson is one of the good ones.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: So I fear here, and I might be giving her
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 6: the benefit of the doubt, I think she was having
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 6: a terrible day. She made a terrible mistake. But what
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 6: I can't explain is why she doubled down on it.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 6: She kept going. I've worked with celebrities. I've done crisis
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 6: management for Jennifer Lopez, Jon Bon.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 14: Jovi, Diddy.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: I've worked with some of the biggest stars in the world.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 6: And if I was working with Kelly, I'd say just
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: fix this. Say sorry. Just say, I was having a
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 6: bad day. I was being a brat. I'm sorry. And
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 6: tell your fans to back off with the death threats
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: and all the ugly messages. It's amazing to.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 16: Me that entitled, super rich.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 6: Celebrities just think they can get away with anything. But
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 6: I think this one's going to bite, Kelly. It's not
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 6: a good look.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Crisis management for Diddy. Oh, you must be tired.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: That's full-time work.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 16: Oh, my God.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 6: Years ago, everybody, it was like early 2000s. It was
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 6: 20 years ago. He wasn't quite yet the Diddy we know,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: but I talked about it. I read a story for
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 6: The Hollywood Reporter, and I was really honest about it.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: I was like, did I miss any red flags? Was
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: he just an awful person back then? And I was so,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 6: you know, I was soul-searched. And when I came to
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: the conclusion, I was like, I wanted to miss the
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 6: red flags. I was so, as a young kid, it
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 6: was 20 years ago, and it was my first big
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: celebrity I worked for, and I was starstruck. And that's
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 6: why they get away with stuff for so long. They
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 6: use that. And so, yeah, so Diddy was one of
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 6: my very first clients.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 10: In New York.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but people change over 10, 20 years. And if
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: you're the biggest star in the world and you're in
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: this big star bubble, it can really change your behavior.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 16: You're right. You're right.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 6: I didn't want to let myself off the hook on
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 6: that because there's some truth to that, too. The Diddy
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 6: I knew wasn't the Diddy that he is today.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 16: And yes, there was early warning signs.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 6: He was always arrogant.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 16: He was always rude.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 6: He was always full of himself. But he wasn't quite
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: as sure of himself as he wasn't a billionaire. He
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 6: was starting out in the music business. He was starting
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: out in the fashion business. Once that success hit. You know,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it changes you.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 16: Or just reveals who you really.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 14: Really are.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 6: That's true. Whatever the result is here, it wasn't pretty.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 6: He's a bad guy.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. It's like drinking. It brings out the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: real you sometimes.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 6: I'm a good drunk.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 16: What do you like when you're drunk, Mark?
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 6: Water.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: I'm drinking the water right now. I sent you.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 14: There you go.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: Now, let's go over everything. You got your Substack, right?
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: People can go sign up for that. Thank you.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 6: I'm loving doing Substack. So each day I'm breaking news
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 6: on Substack. It's a big housewife week. I know we
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 6: like the housewife still. The New York ladies are coming
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 6: back to TV.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 10: Oh, no.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 16: Ramona, Luan, all those ladies.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 6: So they stopped getting ratings. Bravo don't fire you if
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 6: you deliver ratings. That's what TV's about. They don't care
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 6: about the quality of the product. It's how many eyeballs
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 6: you get. And so nobody was watching them anymore, so
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 6: they all got fired. And then E, who used to
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 6: be owned by Bravo, got sold off. So E now
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 6: is a separate company, and E's given the ladies the original. Oh, oh.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 16: New York ladies, their own show.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 6: If they're coming back to a make or break week
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 6: for them, because if people don't turn in, it's the
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 6: last stop on the train. It feels to me.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 16: Well, if we've got to the end of that journey.
• 1:42:17
