  Speaker 1: Well, it's been quite a week. It's over. It's over.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: We need a weekend to recover. It's getting cold out.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: The Rockefeller Center tree they cut it down. It's on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: its way. It'll be here there too. That's how you know.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I guess summer's over. Rockefeller Center tree is on its way.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I was in the Central Park. The skating rink is open.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I guess. I guess summer is finally over. Hey, by
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the way, if you want to look at leaves, changing colors,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the leaves, apparently this is the peak weekend around here,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: around the New York City area, in Long Island, Connecticut,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, this is the peak weekend, So do it
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Nancy Pelosi has announced she will not seek reelection.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: That's great news. President Trump was asked about it. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: think she's an able woman. I'm glad she's retiring.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I think she did the country a great service by reteter.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I think she was a tremendous liability.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: For the country. Now you're saying, well, would he say
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that he shouldn't talk like that? Why does he talk
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like well? Because a couple of days before, did you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: hear what she said about him. She's on a being
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: interviewed by somebody on some show. To listen to the hyperbole.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Listen to how crazy they get.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: He's just a vile creature, the worst thing on the
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: face of the earth.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But anyway you think he's the worst thing on the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: face of the earth.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: I do, Yeah, I do.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: They just get so crazy about him, They get so crazy,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we're gonna there's a couple of prominent psychologists who actually said,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what sets them off so much? Why is he? You know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: they hated Bush and they they hated Reagan and they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: went after him, but this is beyond anything. Some psychologists
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: think it's because you know, they're trying to be so
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: woke and you know DEI and he's just like this
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: old fashion macho guy, old fashion nineteen fifties sort of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: macho kind of it's that that sets him off. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: then there's some psychologists that say it's like a daddy issues,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Like they've got massive daddy issues with this guy, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he just sets them up. I mean, listen to her,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this is nice. If I played the clip and I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: didn't say who she's talking about, who would you guess
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: she's You probably think she's talking about Iotola Komani or
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: or Putin or bin Laden. But if you didn't know who,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: she was.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Talking about creature, the worst thing on the face of
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the earth.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you think he's the worst thing on the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: face of the earth, I do. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Now.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The only sad thing about her leaving It was great
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to watch her trade stocks. She was the greatest insider
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: trading in the history of the world. Nobody you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you're allowed to do inside trading in Congress. So a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people made a couple of millions. She made, like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: got close to a billion dollars. Now, listen to this.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Over the last ten years. Because of her insider trading.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Over the last ten years, Nancy Pelosi outperformed Warren Buffett
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Buffett's stock portfolio. Buffett grew his portfolio by one hundred
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and eighty five percent. Pelosi grew hers by seven hundred
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and twenty percent, almost four times the gains. You got
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to give her credit for at least for that the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: greatest insider trading in the history of the world. In
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: her case, it was legal. So alist Stephonic is going
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to run for governor. She's why would she announce it
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Now it's a year one year away. Do you really
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: need a whole year? Well, okay, it helps, you know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Some say that was the big, big problem with Cuomo.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He was just so dead all through the primaries. He
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: didn't wake up until the last two weeks. One reason
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you start early. It gives you an excuse to go
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: around and campaign, not in the big places but in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the little places. That's why the candidates go to Iowa
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: year ahead. You go to these little, tiny place where
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: nobody's really going to watch nobody. You're not gonna get
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of coverage, which is good, but you do speeches,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you meet with voters, and that way you hone the message.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You're really you know, six months of that and then
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you're ready for the real campaign. You have developed a message,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a stump speech, You've really got yourself up to speed.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So that's why you do it a year ahead of time. Now,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Hokeel is going to have a huge problem. Normally, these
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Democrats will campaign on affordability and whatever crisis. Well, now
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you've got a Republican who can just look at you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and say you're the one in charge for the last
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: eight years. It's your fault. You created it, So I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: don't know what she's going to do about that. The
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: other big problem she has is a Mom Donnie problem.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You can assume a year from now, Mom Donnie will
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have been a terrible, terrible mayor and she endorsed them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: She is going to have to deal with that picture
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of her and him they pose together, holding their hands
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: up together, clasp pa. So she's going to have to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: answer for that, and that's not going to be easy.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a big problem for her. Hey,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: MSNBC a week from today will no longer exist. Friday,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the fifteenth final day of MSNBC. It's gone. They'll rebrand
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it as they'll call it MS now. They gave people
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a tour of their new studio. They've been kicked out
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of Rockefeller Center. Their new studios kind of small. It's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a little cramped. They'll be operating out of there. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of branding experts that say
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they may not realize how dangerous this is. You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be the same show, same anchors, won't look
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: as good because it'll be smaller studios. They will no
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: longer have NBC News resources or correspondence or all of that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But anytime you rebrand, you know, you could just change
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you know, well, if you said, yeah, but they're just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: changing the name, or they just changing the logo, it
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: can affect things. What happened to Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just changed the logo and they redecorated the stores. Rebranding
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is very, very, very dangerous, so it'll be interesting to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: see what happens now. MSNBC apparently is worried about the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: dangers of rebranding, so they put together a few million
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: dollars to do an ad campaign to promote the new brand.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You'll start seeing that everywhere. And this is a company
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that was spun off from NBC in comcasts, so a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: few millions a lot of money to them, but it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: going to be quite a struggle. Heyy, speaking of television,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: sometime today, I'm going to go over to the Paley Center.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You know, that's like the Museum of Television and Radio.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: They call it the Paley Center. But this is the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: final weekend it's there, and I want to the museum
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is going to be there forever. But what's there for
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the final weekend is Johnny Carson's actual desk and parts
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of the Tonight Show set. Want to go over there
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and see it before it goes away. He'll be there
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: through Sunday at the Paley Center. You can actually see
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the actual Johnny Carson desk, which is that's pretty cool.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And then PaleyFest actually begins. Now they've got a whole
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: bunch of big events. The check the schedule. You can
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: get tickets. Where there's Trisha Yearwood, is there Ted Danson,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: who's got this hot news series on Netflix. Just go
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to a pale museum dot org. It's all for a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: very good cause. Hey, there is some good news this week.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Looks like John Brennan that the dirty, dirty CIA director
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: will be indicted. Apparently they are preparing indictments against him.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They will go after him. Hopefully they'll get him. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: even if they don't, just put him on trial. This
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is the dirtiest CIA director we've ever had. Also communist,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, I mean literally he admits to having
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: voted in presidential elections for the communist candidate. Now that's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the kind of guy. This is CIA director. You know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Comy was at one time a communist. He's talked about
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: earlier in his life being an actual communist. He tries
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to pose as some sort of Republican. He's always always
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: been very left wing Democrat, but he admits earlier in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: his life he was an actual communist. Do you remember
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the McCarthy stuff. McCarthy hearings, If you even happen to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: walk into a Communist party meeting or a Communist club meeting,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you were banned from society for the rest of your life.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: These guys were actual communists, declared communists. Cally Brennan. Also
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: remember it was Brennan who signed that ridiculous letter from
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the fifty one former intelligence officials who said the Hunter
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: laptop was Russian disinformation. Absolutely insane stuff. You hear all
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this talk. Everybody's moving, everybody's leaving. Everybody's fleeing New York
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: because of Mom Donnie. I don't know, well, there'll be
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: some people will leave, but everybody's going to leave that fast.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: We went through this with de Blasio, same thing. Everybody's leaving.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Some people did, but not a lot. But they're panicking
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in Florida and all the homes that are available in Florida.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You know, they figure everybody will move to Florida. Now,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: all these rich people moved to Florida, So the homes
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that would be that were available are all getting snapped
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: up like crazy, not by New Yorkers, but by local
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Floridians who apparently, in the last weeks since Momdani, have
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: flooded the market because they're afraid all these New Yorkers
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: will come down and buy everything, and when they start
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: buying like crazy, it'll drive the pricest way up in Florida.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: So local Floridians started buying stuff. There were homes that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: were on the sitting on the market for months with
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: no activity that all of a sudden had dozens of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: offers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, And these homes are getting snapped
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: up at the fastest rate they've ever seen. Condos that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: sat through the whole summer with no bidders now have
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: multiple offers. It's going on all over the East Coast, Miami,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Boca Palm Beach. In fact, they're starting to see it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: in Orlando and other places. Floridians snapping up these homes
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: because they know it's going to drive prices up like crazy. Hey,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know podcasting is a big thing. Now, there's two
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kinds of podcasts. There's the real ones, the professional ones.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: iHeart is the biggest podcast in the world. Serious is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a big podcaster Spotify obviously, but nobody's bigger than iHeart,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and we've got all the top top names in the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: world podcasting. Now, the other part of podcasting is every
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: amateur now has a podcast because anybody can do it. Now,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: if you talk about a professional podcast, we have millions
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and millions and millions of listeners. If you're Joe Rogan,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you got forty million listeners or whatever he's got the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: one with President Trump, the campaign podcast, I think that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: hit one hundred million listens at one point. Even my podcast,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: they'll hit ten million this year, ten million listens. We
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: did nine point four million last year. But it's a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: big deal these podcasts. Now, Netflix wants to get into
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the podcasting business. They want to seriously get into the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: podcasting business. Netflix of course the number one best known
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: streaming place, but they think that's not enough, that you
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: better expand all of that, so they want to get
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: into podcasting. They're making a deal. Well, they're in talks
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: with SERIOUSXM YouTube, by the way, it's a huge podcaster.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So Netflix is talking to SERIOUSXM to combine and have
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: all of their podcasts now they want to do it
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: audio and video. Serious XM has some big podcast call
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Her Daddy, Morbid, Dateline NBC. But they're trying to strike
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: some kind of deal. Earlier they made a deal with Spotify.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: They got the Bill Simmons podcast, Zach Lowe Conspiracy Theories,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and some others. Now, the biggest podcast of all is iHeart.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: There's nobody bigger than iHeart. Hollywood reporter says Netflix has
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: also approached iHeart Media about a similar arrangement. iHeart has
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: some of the most important podcasts in the world, like
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club done over there right across the hall
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and stuff you should know. Now, there's some trade magazines
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: this morning writing that it sounds impressive, but that they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: think Netflix is way too late, way too late to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: get into this, that they've missed the boat on it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They'll never catch up. You know, when they started with
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the streaming stuff, they were ahead of everybody else. That's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: how they got so big. And you remember at the time,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you kids today, you won't know what I'm talking about.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Before Netflix, if you wanted to see a movie at home,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a store like a Blockbuster
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: video store. And you had to rent the movie for
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a day or two. At one time it was on cassette,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a VHS casset, and you'd have to rewind it. If
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you didn't rewind it before you brought it back, you
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: get fined. And then later it was a DVD. This
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: sounds crazy. Can you imagine a twenty three ye old listening?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: What what do you mean you went to a street. Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a blockbuster, rent the thing,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: bring it back. You had to go back the next day.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And state of the art was they put it like
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a slot in the door, so you didn't have to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: go during the day. You could go late at night
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and drop it through the slot. But then Netflix started.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Netflix actually started, I think it was DVDs. It was DVDs,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and then they started streaming. Eventually got rid of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: DVDs and streaming took over. So but again podcasting, they're
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: way too late to jump on board. Hey, King Charles, boys,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he had to get this, Prince Andrew. He stripped him
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of his title, the Duke of this, the Duke of that,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the Earl of the Duke of Earl, whatever the hell
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he was. King Charles keeps taking things away kicked him
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: out of the wherever he was living such palace, taken
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: everything final humiliation, he stripped his brother of his other titles.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: He was left with Royal Highness and prince. So he's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: no longer any of that stuff. Now this is all
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: because of the Jeffrey Epstein Gallaine Maxwell stuff. This woman
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: wrote a book with all the allegations, but it's never
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: been proven. Nothing's been proven. Just because somebody claimed it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: hasn't been proven. But on the other hand, he's never
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: denied it. He's never actually denied the allegations. So the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: only thing he has left he's a Vice Admiral of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the Royal Navy, that title given him in twenty fifteen.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: He did spend twenty two years in the Royal Navy
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and he actually he saw active service. Was a helicopter
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: pilot during the Falklands War. Ooh, a helicopter piloto. This
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: is like Mikey Cheryl. Two of them could start a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: little helicopter company there. But this Prince Andrew, I don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do. If I were him, I
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: would just leave. Just hey, come over here, come over here.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: They'll treat you like a big tabloid star. But he
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: would face charges if he came out of here, so
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that's why he has to stay in England. Hey, we'll
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Get Mark on demand by
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: setting up presead for his podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Now back to Mark Simon on wor.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Uh, let's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: go to John and Florida. John, how you doing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Morning, Mark?
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Mark?
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Wa'm sean go from retail for the airlines to pick
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: up the control of salaries and then reimbursed them when
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: the government comes back.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Well, those airlines don't make much money to begin with.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The profit margin on an airline is practically nothing. It's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to run an airline. As Donald Trump used
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to point that out.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: You know. Uh.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He used to explain that he went to business school
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: with all these geniuses. Some of them became billionaires and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: some of them didn't make that much money. And he
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: said the reason was some of them went into the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: right businesses. They went into oil and made billions. Some
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of them went into the airlines and you can barely
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: make a living there. It's not easy on those airlines.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I know they they can be really awful to customers,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but good news is they're not making much profit those airlines.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Georgia and Long Island. George, how you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: doing fine?
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Mak just a quick statement, Mendani has some type of
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: cult following where you can get a million votes like
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: he did. I think you'll have an impact on the
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: governor's election, whether it be st fined as we just said.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, it's not a cult following. When you win
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a majority of the votes in New York City, that's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: more than a cult. That's a lot of people, but
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of that. These younger people who you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: indoctrinated in all these universities, haven't seen a lot of history.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Don't know that. Every so often, every twenty years, somebody
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: comes along with this socialist nonsense and it always fails.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And anytime the government jumps in and decided to do
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: stuff for the poor, it's always the rich that benefits
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the most from it. In the end, they always figured
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: out how to benefit from it. Let's go to Nick
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and basking Ridge. Nick, how you doing, Hi?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Mark? You mentioned Trump arrangement syndome, and I have a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: three word explanation of exactly what that is. Go ahead,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Ego hates ego.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that could be. That could be also. But a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: lot of psychologists have talked about this. They think it's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: just that he's everything that they tried to stamp out
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in life, like old fashioned macho macho man and just
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: this like alpha male, this like old good, old fashioned
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: American moxie. They thought they stamped that all out. They
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: don't want to see that anymore. Let's go to Bill
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beach. Bill, how you.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Doing, good Mark, Good morning. Well we've had jeffaries on
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: saying about and across the living and everything. Yet the
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Democrats couldn't care about the fifty year high inflation for
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: four years out of the Bider dictatorship, where they actually
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: eliminated the dollar store. When they left, everything was twenty
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: five and more everything in the country.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: What are you saying, Democrats are hypocritical? You can't believe
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that that's not the Democrats, I know, hypocrites. Why that's unheard? Yeah.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: No.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: The funniest thing is you watch these videos where they
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: all say Trump talked about getting rid of the philibuster,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and they all have these. You can see these online,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: all of them, Bernie Sanders, Obama, all of them saying
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: why that's un American, that's a threat to our democracy.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: To get rid of the philibuster. Then you'll see it
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: cut together with the video of them from four years
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: ago saying we must get rid of the philibuster. It's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: anti American, it's anti democracy. Let's go to Carl and Sayerville, Carl,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: how you doing by Mark?
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: How are you? You know Mark the incoming marriage. Do
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: you think he's going to like maybe scale down the
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Independence Day celebration and shorten the Thanksgiving Day prosh?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't talk about that. I didn't think
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: about that. Oh that's a very good point. I didn't
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: think about that. Excellent point. You know this guy, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he can't raise your taxes. He can't give you free busses.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: That's not in his power. But I didn't think about that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: He can start getting rid of the Rockefeller Center tree.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: He could eliminate the Columbus Day parade. He could. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: don't know. That's because it's tough to do. That would
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: be really tough for him to do. But you're right,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: we got to keep an eye on that. Let's go
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Anthony from the Bronx. Mark
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: maybe mondomial stall outdoor, loud speakers around city Hall and
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: instead of a minaret, we'll have to call the prayer
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: every day. The Muslim called the prayer Uh, Mark speaking
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: about the communists and everything about how Dora McCarty uh
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: day that they come after you right after they caught
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: and executed to kidnappers Sacco and Vanzetti of Uh Lucky
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Limburg's child in my grandfather's building at the time, and
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: my mother was alive and living there. She told me
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: on the top floor there was an Italian communist living
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: there with his wife and his kid, and one day
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: the FBI came to arrest him, came to get him
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: uh for communist activity, and the punk that he was,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: he locked himself in the apartment and the punk killed
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: his wife, killed his kid, and then killed himself because
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: he couldn't face the music.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you, man, and you're in the know, You're.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Out there story a little.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mark. I don't think Jessica is going to take
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Madami to Kamie. It's offer to be police admission and
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: his why. Rumor has it that she wants to run
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: for mayor the next time around, and she would, She
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: would easily. She'd have the money, she could self fund.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: And I don't think she wants to be her name
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: in any way, in her family's name associated with Zora Mandai.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: She doesn't need that because she'll fill out. She'll finish
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: out her term with Adams. She's doing a great job
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: and why would she want.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Bet No, she probably won't risk it for Vincent. Great call,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. We were hearing if she leaves uh
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Mondannie is looking at Rodney Harrison, Suffolk County Police Commissioner.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: That's the guy he's looking at, former NYPD Chief of Department.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: So that's not the world's worst choice. But hey, when
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: we come back, Roger Friedman will be with us, Great

• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Roger Friedman, how you doing, Roger Friedman? Are you there?
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I am, Oh, there you are. I've just joured the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Grammy nominations.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so tell us about the Grammy nominations.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Well, uh, it's all the pop people who you know
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: on the radio if you're fourteen, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: they're the main names. Lady Gaga got seven nominations for
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: her Man Eater album and she's going to win. The
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: others are just superfluous in the traditional pop section, which
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: is more for you and me.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: No, actually, I believe it or not. I listened to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Z one like that stuff.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, I like see one hundred. Sabrina Carpenter, who I
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: just saw by the way at the garden and loved
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: her Manchild album and song got nominated. And that bunny
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Billie Eilish got nominated for a song that I thought
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: came out the year before. But all right, but it's
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Luther Kendrick Lamar for his song Luther with Sizza. Yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: but those are the ones. But the really the category
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: that you and I would enjoy the most would be
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: traditional pop, and that's Barber streisand Jennifer Hudson, Elton John
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: and Brandy Carlisle. Uh, those are the main names. You
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: know who didn't get nominated for that category, which I
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: really would have liked to was Ringo Star. He had
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: this great country album called look Up, and they didn't
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: do anything for it. But I really liked that album.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: I really liked it. But you know, I would say
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: that Chapel Rone she's nominated. But it's really the Grammys
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: are very narrow at this point because they're really just
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: looking at the top chart stars. They're they're they're looking
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: for a good TV show, which you can't blame them.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: They want ratings, which are necessary to stay alive, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: they're not going into really uh like diverse or interesting
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: things you know, might surprise you, which they've done in
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the past. This is a very straightforward list of you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: top forty hits, commercial hits, that kind of thing.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Well, but that's what we did that in the nineties.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: The two thousands. They we did that.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: No, Yeah, it's been a little better in the past.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: But the TV show February first, it'll be a big,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: big show. And if they get some of these people,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: if they get Loffe, she's do you know who she is? Yeah,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: she's a fabulous singer around there, Phil being good shaped.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: They nominated some Layla Bialily but for winter songs, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: we're going to have to look her up and see
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: who she is. Best new artist. Those are all good.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And this guy Somber. You know who Somber is? Yeah, Okay,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: he's twenty years old. He's from the Lower East Side.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: He's about nine feet tall. He's the son of the
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: guy who does all the booking for like the Elton
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Shawn and am Fhar shows and that kind of thing.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: He's got a big I never knew his name is
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Andy Boose. I never knew that he was a musician himself.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And his son's name is Sean Boose and I guess
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: the middle initial is M, so it's SMB, and he
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: calls himself Somber. He's had two massive hits, are three
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: massive hits on the charts all year and a big
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: album into a Debut Album and he's going to win
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Best New Artist. He is the Best New Artist. So
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: he's a real New York story. I think he dropped
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: out of school like seventeen to become a rock star
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: and became one sort of overnight wow. So that's a
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: big New York story.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, where are the Grammys being held this year?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Grammys are in Los Angeles February first, from the what
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I call the Staples Center, what others called the Crypto
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: crypt dot Com. And they'll be preceded by two events.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Music Cares Person of the Years of award on the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Friday of that weekend is going to Mariah Carey and
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: she'll show up sometime that evening, probably not on time,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: but sometime that evening. The next night, Clive Davis throws
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: his annual pre Grammy dinner. He'll be almost ninety four
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: years old by then, Please God knock Wood, and it's
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: going to be that'll be an amazing night. So the
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Grammy weekend is going to be terrific. And it's the
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: last Grammys. I believe it's the last Grammys on CBS.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: CBS blew their chances to have the Grammys for the
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: next ten years and after this January goes to NBC.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, yeah, Roger m tell me, what's the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: deal with this Michael Jackson movie? Good Bad? What is it?
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: So, the Michael Jackson movie. I'm looking forward to it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: But originally the plan was this is crazy. The plan
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: was to have a like three hour movie where they
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: were going to take you through the nineties and the
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: two thousands where he gets arrested and there's like you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: molestation charging and trials and all this other stuff. And
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: finally someone came to their senses and said, nobody wants
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: to see that in the movie. So they went back.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: They went back and made a film that ends, you know,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: around the time of nineteen ninety like after Bad and
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: thriller and dangerous and when he's at the peak of
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: his career before the bad stuff comes, and that movie
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: will be terrific. And it's very similar in that way
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: to the MJ musical playing on Broadway and around the world,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: which is a huge hit, by the way, huge And
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: that also stops at the end of the nineteen eighties
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: when Michael is at his peak powers and you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: adored by everyone. The next twenty years are you know,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: a crazy time that see that in a documentary, that's fine,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: but nobody wants to see Michael going to court and
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: just not going to work.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: So Jermaine Jackson's son Ja'far is playing Michael in the movie,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and there's a great cast that goes with it, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: there's going to be Walter Wall music. And my prediction
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: is it's going to be like Bohemian Rhapsody. People are
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: going to come out dancing and they're not going to
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: think about any bad stuff.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Despite the fact that Michael had all that scandal that
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: we covered extensively and minutely, he is still one of
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: the top ten recording artists in the world. His estate
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: is worth a billion dollars. The records sell like crazy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Thriller has been on the charts for the last month
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: because of Halloween, So there's no question that the movie
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: will be a hit. But that's what the movie will be.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Now today, I hear they might make a second movie.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: My advice is, do not make that suff movie. Stop
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Stop well, well things are good, you know.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Hey, we all got that's we'll get a minute left.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Tell me tell me about Broadway. What's the hottest thing
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: on Broadway? The latest newest, hottest thing on Broadway.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: The latest hottest news new thing on Broadway.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Tom Hanks.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I know Tom Hanks is off Broadway and he has
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: a show called This World or Tomorrow. The prices started
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: out at four hundred dollars a ticket, and nobody bought
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: the tickets. And tell a couple of last week that
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: you could buy a ticket on any night in any
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: section because no one was going to spend four hundred dollars.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Now they've cut the price by fifty seven percent. The
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: really good seats are two fifty nine, and decent seats
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: and very decent seats are one sixty nine. So now
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: everyone can see this play. Who wants to see a
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: regular play. I have friends who went in the first
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: week and said, it's a slight play, but charming in
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: the cast. It's wonderful to see them all on stage.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: It's at the Shed in Hudson Yards. It's a small theater.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: You can see Tom Hanks. You know you'll be able
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: to see him, really see him, and you know, I'm
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: probably not going to go, but I think a lot
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: of people will go. And already several nights are sold
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: out because at you know, one hundred and sixty nine
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: dollars a seat. People will go for that.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, good thing about Off Broadway. There's no bad
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: seats because it's a small theater you're close with.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there are no bad seats. And then if you're
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: thirty years old or younger, the tickets are forty five dollars.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, But if you're thirty or younger, you're not going
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to know who this guy is. If this Tom.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Hanks, that might be a problem. Yeah, but you and
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I would have gone at thirty years old because we're
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: old souls.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well, great stuff, Roger Freeman. Check out
