• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now, nine till noon weekday.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Smart Simone. Only on 710WOR.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Well, we have breaking news for you. First of all,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Katie Zakaria just did her first briefing. First day on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the job, first briefing. Kept it short. Just went through
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the important stuff she had to inform everybody about. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: then that was it. Didn't take questions. But the big news.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle has been asked to resign. Let me see
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: if I can find the clip here.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Daily Mail has been reporting on her
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: since last year.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: The president said yesterday to reporters that he is considering
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: firing her.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: Do you know a timeline for that?
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: And also, potentially, who could be on the short list
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: to replace her.
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: If he does?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Just wonderful. Please resign. Well, listen, it's a messy situation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So she has been asked to resign. She doesn't have
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: much choice there. Who's on the short list? I don't
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: think anybody really cares who's on the short list to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: be the ambassador of Greece. Anyway, she's out. Kimberly Guilfoyle
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: will most likely resign by the end of the day. Now, again,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it was a number of things. The most recent incident,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this donor came forward. and said that she had racked
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: up this huge American Express bill, and she asked him
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to pay it off, to send $ 100, 000. And she said,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you can wire it just to American Express. It doesn't
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have to be any connection with you and me. He
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. But there's other incidents that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have been reported. Now, there's certain Greek tycoons that have
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: said they've been paying for her travel and for this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and that, and that She told them, I'll make you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, actually a lot of effing money.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: She had access to a lot of Trump stuff, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: she could help them out. So Kimberly Guilfoyle has been
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: asked to resign. It would be a late afternoon in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Greece right now. We'll see what happens. Imagine that she's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: making a lot of phone calls right now to everybody.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: trying to see what can be done. It won't work.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And then probably by the end of the day today,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: she'll resign. So we'll keep an eye on that for you.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Zelensky says Russia is still hitting its energy facilities. The
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: president wanted an energy deal where they don't hit the energy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They don't knock out refineries and gas refineries, diesel refineries,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: because it drives the price of oil up. So Zelensky
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: says Russia broke the agreement. if you look at it,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they hit a power plant. That's not what the deal
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was about. The deal was about don't hit oil facilities,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: don't drive up the price of gas. So apparently Russia
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: hit a power plant, but that's a standard part of warfare.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Here's Zelensky.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: If Russia wants us to stop our long-range strikes against
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: its oil refineries and oil exports, then Russia must stop
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: its strikes against our energy system. And critical infrastructure.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He's hard to listen to. Stop talking anyway. So I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: guess he's got a point there, but it's just part
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of warfare. You knock out bridges, you knock out energy.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: When we went to war in Iraq, first day, we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: knocked out the power plants, we knocked out the bridges.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: That's just what you do in a war. University of Chicago,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they got a fraternity there. Sexual assault reported. 21-year-old woman
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: allegedly sexually assaulted at a frat party, University of Chicago.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: This is the problem with these fraternities. You know, that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Cornell situation, as awful as that looks, there's about 8,000
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of these incidents every year in America at colleges, at fraternities.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: 8,000 a year. There's a couple universities that had like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: 200 incidents a year. That's That's a couple every month.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible situation, but it goes on all the time.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Remember this, Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar, the investigation started under Biden.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Just remember that. This is a Biden investigation. The Trump
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: administration is continuing. You know what was awful? This Six
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Flags incident. This father-in-law. He's got his children. He's got
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: his wife. They're on the roller coaster. I don't know
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: what happened. They were investigating. Nobody's explained it yet, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: somehow he goes flying out of the roller coaster, plunging
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to his death. Everybody in the roller coaster has to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: watch this. Apparently, as he went plunging down, he hit
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: other cars, landed on the roof of the haunted house.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I would never get in one of those crazy roller coasters.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It just looks dangerous. I mean, I guess they're safe
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: because this is the only incident we've heard about. There
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: must be millions of people riding these things, but it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound safe.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: This is.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Not a great thing to have happen for Six Flags, but.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I've got to look it up and see how many
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: times there have been these rollercoaster accidents, but it's a horrible,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: horrible situation. So, hey, Florida is doing pretty well. Florida
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You're losing DeSantis, not the nicest guy, but he's been
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal governor, phenomenal governor, and his term limited out,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: can't run again. Byron Donalds, he would be the perfect
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: new governor. He's not the best campaigner. He's running, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: not a great campaigner. President Trump having to run down
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: there and help him out. The president will be flying
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Now, Katie Zakaria is the new
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: press secretary, and she did say in this press briefing,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: She will travel with the president, which means she's got
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to take up this brutal schedule where you fly all
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: over the country. Every day you fly to another place,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you fly back. A lot of air travel. Today he's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: going to Alaska and coming back. And then the rest
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the week, I think tomorrow's Nevada. It's just nonstop flying,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: crisscrossing the country, trying to help the midterms. The midterms
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: are just too close to call. Looks pretty good for
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate. Now, the problem with Alaska, Alaska
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: has this stupid rank choice voting. Democrats put this in.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's a way of legally rigging an election, this dumb
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: rank choice voting. But the problem with it is when
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's election night in 21 days, you're going to have
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: all these results. And I guarantee you, you're going to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: have to wait on Alaska for about four days until
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they figure out the rank choice voting, if it's that close. And,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you know, it could be. 49 for the Republicans in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Senate. And then you have to wait days to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: find out if they got Alaska. If the Republicans hit 50,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: then it won't matter. But Alaska could hold up the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: election results for a long time. Hey, speaking of Florida, California,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the worst run state. I mean, just a disaster under Newsom.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's so awful to try to do business in California
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that businesses are fleeing like crazy. And even the tech
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: business is the most famous thing in California business, Silicon Valley.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's slowly but surely leaving. And a lot of it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: moving to Florida more and more. A lot of it
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: going to Miami. A lot of it going to West
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach. West Palm Beach, not that big a city,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: but it's becoming a huge city. Steve Roth, the guy
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that built Hudson Yards, major developers, putting skyscrapers, hospitals, office buildings, home,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: everything in there. And more and more builders are there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a major... Come back in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, West Palm Beach will be as
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: big as Miami. But those two places are going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be the new Silicon Valley. And this is going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: make a huge difference for Florida in the future for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: their economy to have these trillion-dollar companies there. So one
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of the results of Newsom is losing their biggest industry
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to Florida. It's just horrible what happened to California. Under Newsom.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: All those Democrats. It used to be a state that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: could go either way. They'd have a Republican governor. They'd
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have a Democratic governor. Go back and forth. Once it
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: became a one-party state, it just went all to hell.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And it's just a disaster. And there's no signs of ever,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ever turning it around. So, hey, you know, the Democrats
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: want to bring back cancel culture. They miss it. It
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was a great way to silence people. you know, the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: cancel culture, one wrong word, you're out, your career is over,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you can never show your face in public again. So
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they want to start with Shane Gillis, who was on
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. He was the host this past week.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And in the monologue, they think what he said was
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so offensive that he should be canceled. It really wasn't bad.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It was, I mean, it was, he was making fun
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of women. He hadn't been in a gym in a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: long time. So now he's going to the gym again.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He didn't know that women dressed like whores. And he
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: started to describe, you know, sometimes you're in the gym
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and they're wearing this little skimpy shorts. And I mean, listen,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it got a big laugh from the audience. If you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: watch it, the audience is laughing like crazy, but the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cancel culture says it was misogynist and how dare he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: use the word whore or women. And so there's an
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: effort now to cancel and we'll see if they can
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: restart this cancel culture. They're trying with him. If it
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: fails with him, it most likely will fail for good.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But they're going to keep trying and keep trying. Are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you following that? Kelly Clarkson story? Kelly Clarkson goes into it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: There's something, she saw it in a picture store in Brooklyn.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: She wants this, whatever it is, it's some big thing
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on the wall. And she goes in to buy it
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and they won't sell it to her. So she starts
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: this whole thing online and it went super viral about
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: how this store treated her like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You know, they thought she didn't have any money and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they treated her like crap and they wouldn't sell it
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to her. So it got millions of hits and the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: store got all kinds of trouble out of this. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: their side of it is, which could be the truth,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they said it's not anything for sale. It's something we
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: have decorating our walls. We bought it to decorate the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: store with. You know, a lot of times you go
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: into a store and they've got an incredible painting on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the wall they got an incredible something on the it's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it's to decorate the store it's not for sale it's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: not what they sell so they may have a good
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: point there and they said they told her here's the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: guy who makes these you can get one from him
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: but we're not selling this it's part of our store
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: decoration so i don't know who do you believe there
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: i kind of believe the store on that because she
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: offered a lot of money for it but but if
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it's really just decor why would they sell it to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: her she's So she may be wrong on this one. Now,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Selma Blair, there's no debate here. Yeah, you're just not
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to do that on a plane. Not right. Sean
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Diddy Combs, taken from a New Jersey prison yesterday to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a hospital for a head injury. He got to the hospital.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He left the prison at 1 a.m. He was back
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: by 7 a.m. So bad. I guess it wasn't that serious, but, uh,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: some kind of serious, serious head injury, uh, could have
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: been a fight in prison, could have been, uh, something,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: obviously some violence there. Uh, the problem is, uh, it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: came out a while, a while ago that he was,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you remember the scene in Goodfellas where the mob guys
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: are in prison and the guards are bringing them steak
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and lobsters and champagne and they're paying off everybody. Well,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it came out that, uh, Diddy was getting that kind
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: of treatment, that he was getting massages, alcohol, special meals,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: regular cleaning of his toilet and shower. He had his
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: own cell phone. He got all the porn he wanted.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So when that came out, apparently they threw him back
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: into the general population, I guess. And then he comes
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: out of the hospital with this terrible head injury. But
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he's back in prison now. Harry Styles, listen, these people
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: can't help it. Harry Styles doing a concert, Madison Square Garden,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the concert, starts yelling and screaming
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about ICE, gives the whole audience a lecture about ICE.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And again, this Oscar, Oscar, poor Oscar. Oscar's the dangerous
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: criminal who ICE was trying to arrest in New York.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Oscar's a career criminal. He's only been in the country
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: three years. He's already got a pretty good rap sheet.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Neighbors say he was an awful, evil, menacing, walked around
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: with a machete threatening them. But this is who Harry
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Styles is sticking up for. But it got a cheer
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: out of the crowd. Harry Styles said, I just want
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to take a moment to think about Oscar Belgal tonight. Oscar,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: who Ice had to shoot at because... Now, Mamdani... is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: saying he wants to change police procedure. He said, you're
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: taught never to shoot at a moving vehicle. Yeah, well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that's true. In the police academy, they'll teach you if
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you're trying to stop a guy, a criminal, he gets
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: into his car and starts to drive away, don't shoot
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: at a moving vehicle. You might hit somebody. But it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't apply if the vehicle is trying to run you over.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: If it's coming right at you, then you can shoot
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the vehicle. There's a big difference that Mamdani doesn't seem
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to grasp. Stiles, after his little lecture about Oscar, did
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: get back to playing music, so that's good news. Again,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you're going to hear about this Oscar, Oscar, Oscar all
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the time. Here's that chevalier, that crazy kook socialist.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: The other thing that really.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Angered me was when Police Commissioner Tisch came out. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: understand that it is her role to provide more information,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: and that is why she comes to these press conferences.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: But rather than condemn ICE, rather than condemn the shooting
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: or the events that had just taken place, she started
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to villainize ICE.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Oscar, right. Villainize him.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Oscar is literally a villain. He's exactly a villain. She
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: villainized him because he's a villain. He's a career criminal.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: He's got gang affiliations. He's been caught with robbery and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. He, as I say, the neighbors say
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: he was menacing them with a machete. He is a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: bad guy. When the police tried to arrest him, he
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: tried to run them over with his car. That would
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: be a villain. He would qualify as a villain. by
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: any rational definition. But they love Oscar. You're going to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: hear a lot about this Oscar. You're going to see
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Oscar t-shirts. They're going to build Oscar statues. You're going
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to have Bruce Springsteen writing a song about Oscar. It's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: not going to stop. It's just starting. Hey, we'll take
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: 800- 3-2-1-0-7-10.

• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Mark, I just wanted to comment and say, you know what?
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: The only person, only two people who can really save
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: New York, and New York is a mess with Mondani
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: along with Hochul. The only two people who can save
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: New York would be Blakeman and I can't think of
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: the lady's name again. It's Tish James. Oh, my gosh.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: She obliterated her on the podium. Oh, my Jesus Christ.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Watch your language. This is a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: family show.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: I apologize.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: That's okay. That's okay.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah. You're absolutely right. Yeah, I'm sorry to cut you off,
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: and the thing is, too, I know I don't have
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: much time, but the thing is, I was just thinking,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: me and some other guys here can get together here
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: and just get that vote out for Blakeman, because right
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: now in New York, listen, you know what, you might
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: vote for this guy Mondani, and I'll tell you something,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: you know what, you got what your hand called for.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: All right, but it's up to you.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You got to get out there and vote. You got
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to get your friends and neighbors to go out there
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and vote. You make sure everybody gets out there. to vote,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that can do it. So yeah, Blakeman, obviously you want
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: him to win. The other thing he's talking about is
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the attorney general's race. It's a very strong Republican candidate.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: She would be a great attorney general. The problem is
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: nobody can say her name. Nobody can remember her name.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It's like Saritha, nobody can pronounce, even she doesn't know
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: what her name is. It can't pronounce his name. But
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Just go vote for the Republican for Attorney General. They
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: had a debate a couple nights ago on New York One.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Problem is what these Democrats do, they'll only go on
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: New York One because nobody sees it. It's hardly on anywhere.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: But she wiped out Letitia James. She humiliated Letitia James
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in this debate. It was brutal. Problem is New York One.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Who's going to see it? But you got to vote
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: for her. The Republican for Attorney General. Let's go to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Angelo in Staten Island. Angelo, how you doing?
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, how you doing?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I have a question. Commercials that you play, do you
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: guys realize that the one they play about California is
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: just like, wow, what is that?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Ah, you're right. What the hell is he talking about?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? What commercial?
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: The commercials on your station.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: What commercial specifically are you talking about?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: California is the greatest place on the face of the earth, one.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: We have a commercial for California?
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear it.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Well, listen to it. It's bad.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with it?
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I can't believe you're on the radio.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with it?
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: It's California, and we all know it's insane. You just
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: said it yourself, how California.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm talking about if you try to run a
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: business there. But for a vacation, there's a lot of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: great vacation spots in California. If it's a commercial for California,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it's California's tourist board or chamber of commerce. No, it's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a great place. You can still take a vacation there.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Just don't open a business there. But for a vacation... Great,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: great place to go on a vacation. You ever been
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to Carmel and all those beautiful places? Many, many, many
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: parts of California are gorgeous.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Thanks, man.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, it's not even us. It's from the network.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It's a network spot. But, yeah, no, no. I would
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: visit California. Great place to go on a vacation. People
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: go there all the time, have a great time. Not
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: just Los Angeles or San Francisco, but most of California
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: is very beautiful and scenic. Just don't open a business
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: there right now. Let's go to Mark in Parsippany. Mark,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing?
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, is this Mark Simone?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Let me check.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: Yes, it is.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Hey, don't rush.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: It's like I'm talking to Joe Biden here. Yeah. Whatever
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: happened to who?
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Uh michael savage he used to be on the radio.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Oh michael savage yeah yeah michael savage he was quite
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the popular talk show host about uh i don't know
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: 15 years ago 20 years ago he was a big
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: guy he was on wor he was here every night
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: like six to nine the savage nation remember that it
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was a big show for many, many, many years. A
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: little crazy off the air, that guy. I mean, not
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: in a bad way. He's a nice guy, but a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: brilliant guy, brilliant show. And it was on WOR for
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: many years. He stepped down from The Daily Show. He
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: stopped doing it. He does a podcast. You can go
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: online and find his podcast. You can listen to that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: President Trump is a fan. In fact, President Trump invited
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: him to dinner at Bedminster. I think if you go online,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: you can find the videos of Savage. It's not long ago,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: like a month ago, he had dinner with President Trump.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: But you can get his podcast. I think it's a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: once-a-week kind of deal. Let's go to Harold in Warwick. Harold,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Hopefully Blakeman makes it. I think he's really going to
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: do very well. But I met someone running in the
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: 75th District in New York City the other night. I
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: went to a fundraiser. Yeah. which is a district in Midtown, Westside,
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Hell's Kitchen and those areas. Christina Fontanelli, the opera singer.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: She's an amazing woman.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: She's okay. But you got some good Republicans running. You
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: got also Caroline Schinkel in, I forget what district that is. It's,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I forget. But it doesn't matter. It's the Jerry Nadler district.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It's the Upper West Side, Upper East Side. Caroline Schinkel,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you want to vote for her. Most importantly, vote for Blakeman.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Most important thing is vote for this Attorney General, the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Republican candidate, because it's like Sarita Khatamedi. Nobody can say
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the name, but when you see a name you can't
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: figure out, that's her. Republican candidate, Attorney General. She'd be phenomenal.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: You got to get Letitia James out of there. That's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the most important thing. Hey, when we come back, the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: great entertainment reporter, Roger Friedman. Lots to talk to him about,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and we'll get to that next on 710WOR.
• 22:34

• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Three.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.

• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Roger Friedman, the great entertainment reporter, his website is showbiz411. com.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: All kinds of news stories every day. Showbiz411. com. Roger Friedman,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Well, are you up to the news that's been going
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: on this morning from the White House?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle resigning?
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Well, she was asked to resign.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Well, she will by the end of the day.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: And the new press secretary, Katie Zachariah, is getting a
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: lot of notice.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was very good. She's kept it short. Look good.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: No, even, even the one house.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: So we don't, we don't, we don't get into these
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: left wing, uh, attacks, these kooks.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: We don't, I'm not attacking her. She was fine. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: want her to stay.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: She was fine. Everybody was happy. Everybody was happy with her.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: I want her, I want her to stay and, and
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: we can enjoy her time together.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, good.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Um, I'm waiting for, yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Tell me about Selma Blair.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Um, Oh, poor Selma Blair. You know, she has multiple sclerosis.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: And she's really been suffering for years.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: She's had all kinds of medications and procedures and all
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: kinds of things to keep her going. And she's a mess.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: And it's like torture. And then she's on a plane
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: and she's drinking, of course, because you're nervous about flying.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: So you have a couple of drinks and the drinks
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: interact with the medicine from the M.S., And suddenly she's
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: biting people. And it's crazy. I mean, she obviously shouldn't
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: be allowed on a plane anymore.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: You think that simply drinking and pills, it could cause us,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you know, you could pass out. You could do it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Could it make you do this? Can it really cause that?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it can. I mean, I don't know.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: She's, you know, it's we don't have MS and it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: a serious thing. We're laughing about it, but it's very serious.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: And it's very painful. And God knows what's done to
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: her brain. And she's constantly announcing that she's in remission
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: and trying to get work.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: But can you imagine living like that? It's terrible.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: So they're not going to be any serious penalties for it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, she'll apologize. She'll pay some little fine. But
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: it was a slow news day yesterday. So when this happened,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: it became the main story everywhere. But it's a ridiculous story.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: And it's sad. We have to have some empathy for
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: these people.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I know, but if you're a famous person and you
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: get in a fight at the airport and you yell
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: at somebody, somebody records the video, it goes viral. But
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: if you bite somebody and she punched the stewardess so
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: hard and sent her to the hospital.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe she was hungry.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: But the stewardess ended up in the hospital, the flight attendant.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: This was bad.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It's bad. It's bad.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: But, you know, you've got to have some empathy for her.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: And like I say, she'll pay some fines. And she's
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: not going to jail, obviously. And it's amazing that she's
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: still alive, to tell you the truth. And God knows
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: what she's doing to keep that up. But she's always been–
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: I've met her a few times. She's always been a
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: nice person. And this thing is a terrible curveball for
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: anybody who gets it. So I can't be too critical.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: The multiple sclerosis ward at the hospital, you'll never hear.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You might. I don't know.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We've got to talk to some doctors.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: But that's a good audio for a good horror movie.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, it's the shower scene in Psycho.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: No, that's her. That's her on the plane.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: It might be the sound Katie Zachariah is going to
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: make at the White House podium tomorrow.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm afraid you left-wingers aren't going to get very
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: far with that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: No, it's not a left-winger, right-wing thing. This girl was hysterical.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: She reminded me of Lonnie Anderson in the first episode
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: of WKRP.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It'd never be as bad as Jen Psaki. That was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the worst.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: She wasn't good either.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: The really dumb one, the real stupid one. Who was that?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: What was her name? Kareem John.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Sean Spicer.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: No, Kareem John. No, Spicer's a great politician. People pay
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Spicer a fortune for advice. Do they? The dumb one.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Kareem Jean-Pierre, whatever her name was. No, no, no.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: McDonaghy.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: No, Kareem Jean-Pierre. It was nice, but IQ like 80 maybe. Anyway,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: let's get to... Anyway, let's get back.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: To Tom Cruise. Digger is being pulled out of theaters.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: If you want to see it, you better see it
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: in the next couple of days.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: So tell me about that. Also, why did The Social Reckoning,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: this big new movie, why did that not do so well?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Social Reckoning is a problem. There's no reason for it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: There's no reason for the movie. It's not a sequel
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: to The Social Network. It has nothing to do with
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: The Social Network, which was a hit movie. They sort
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: of marketed it that way. And in the movie, The
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Social Reckoning, a lot of leaps of logic are made.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: One of them is that Facebook somehow caused January 6th
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: to happen, which by the time they get to this thing,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: the movie, you're like, come on, really? So there's a
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: lot of logic that's missing from the film. And it's
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: supposed to be like a procedural, like, you know, Spotlight
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: was a great movie about the priests and the sexual abuse.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: And there's a big gotcha moment where they reveal everything.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: You've got to have like a big gotcha moment in
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: a procedural way. or it's not going to work. And
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: there's no moment like that in this movie. It's just
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: a very talky movie. It's Jeremy Allen White and Mikey Madison,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: who are very nice, talking to each other and making
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: a big deal out of the fact that Facebook has
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: no ethics. Well, surprise, we know that. We didn't know
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: that when the social network came out. It was new then.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: But now we've lived with it for a long time,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: so we know what the story is. And just the
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: fact that you're revealing that is not the... the foundation
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: for a whole movie. So there's not much going on
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: in this movie. And by the time it gets to
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: the end, and they're sort of blaming Mark Zuckerberg, who's
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: not a very sympathetic character in real life, sort of
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: comes off sympathetically in the movie because he's being blamed
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: for January 6th rioting at the Capitol. Well, I mean,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: a lot of people are to blame for that, and
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: he's not alone. So I don't think you can really
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: put it on his shoulders. all the social media platforms
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: were buzzing with people encouraging the insurrection on January 6th.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Well, there was no insurrection.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: It was like a party that went wrong. No, but
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: if you read the 2,400 charges, and they hit everybody
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: with everything, nobody was charged with insurrection.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Trespassing, criminals.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: It was just a bad time.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: No, they were charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, disruption of
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a government function. You could have charged somebody with an erection,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and they decided nobody.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Well, there was.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Let's say just I like that disruption of government function.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: It was the worst trespassing incident probably of our lifetime.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: So.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah. All right.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, regardless.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: But regardless, it wasn't I'm not defending.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I feel like I'm defending Facebook, but there's no you
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: can't just blame one. organization on, on the thing happening.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: As they always say, you asked me why the social
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: reckoning didn't do well. And I'm saying, yeah, it's because it's,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: it's unbelievable.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. They always say everything with human
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: behavior is the same as it always was. It just
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: moves to a different medium. You know, it, right. In
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the old days, it would have been messages passed around.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Now it's Facebook where people organize, uh, it's the same behavior.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Bullying used to be, it's like.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: When they used to say, you know, violence on TV
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: was making people, you know, crazy and do things. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: just because you had an episode of Law & Order,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: somebody was going to go out and do the same
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: thing that a criminal was going to do.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, before we run out of time, is this true
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that there's AI music, which artificial intelligence created the music,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that's actually doing well on the charts?
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: You know, well, it's doing well on the iTunes chart
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: because iTunes is very easy to manipulate. So the AI
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: people have figured out a way to manipulate that chart.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: But the music's not being played anywhere. And it's not
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: on Spotify. It's not being streamed. But it looks like
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: it's a hit from downloading. So this has become a
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: big problem. And the other problem, you know, we could
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: discuss AI for a whole segment if we wanted to.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: We have more and more people embracing it because they're
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: afraid of it. Uh, so you have, uh, iTunes is
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: embracing it and you have even, uh, movie people are
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: starting to say, well, we'll mix a movie with some
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: AI in it. This is a big mistake. Uh, I
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: think it's going to come back to bite them in
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: the end.
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: But yeah, there's a, right now there's like three or
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: four singles in the top iTunes top 10 that are, uh,
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: all made out of nothing made out of fiction.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: They're, they're computerized, but it's a dream singer. There's no song.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's a dream for a movie company or
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: music company. You don't have to spend any money. You
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: can get it all done on AI.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: No, and you don't have to be able to play
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: an instrument or act or do anything. You just write
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: in a prompt on your computer and say, please give
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: me this, which is a scary new world, I think.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: We don't want to have them say, give me a
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: great radio personality in the morning, and they just invent somebody.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: We can't do that. We have to have the real thing.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: That's true, but if you don't want to spend $ 2
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: million on scenery, you could just have AI do it
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: for you. So I could see where... Do you have
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: $ 2 million in scenery behind you? No, but I'm talking
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: about a movie. Do you know how much money they
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: would save? You don't need to hire 1,000 extras. You
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: don't need to build all these sets.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: No, but then we're living.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: But then Elon Musk says we're living in a simulation,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: and maybe he's right.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, could be.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: We're just living in a simulation of what used to be.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: No, that could be.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: That's not good.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: What did Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell say? Ain't nothing
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: like the real thing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: There you go. Now we have to explain to a
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: lot of people who's Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell. Half the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: people working on this floor won't know who those two are.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: But go listen to it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll explain it to them later. We're out of time, though.
• 33:30
