0:00
Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show
0:05
Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
0:09
Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Monday.
0:10
Speaker 3: It's Columbus Day. The rain stopped. The parade goes on.
0:14
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie is snubbing the Columbus Day parade. He will
0:17
Speaker 3: not be there. That's just terrible. He's clearly announcing to
0:23
Speaker 3: everybody he's the mayor for some of New York, not
0:26
Speaker 3: all of New York, but.
0:29
Speaker 3: The truth is, I think they're kind of thrilled not
0:31
Speaker 3: to have him there because all he's going to happen
0:34
Speaker 3: is he'll get booed all along the way. He could
0:36
Speaker 3: also argue that maybe he shouldn't come. Most of the
0:39
Speaker 3: crowd will just boo Mom Donnie, but he will not
0:42
Speaker 3: be there. He snubbed the Columbus Day parades yesterday, Queens, Brooklyn,
0:47
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. He snubbed other parades. Again, he's
0:50
Speaker 3: a mayor for a little bit of New York, not
0:52
Speaker 3: all in New York. We'll get back to Mom Donnie.
0:56
Speaker 3: President Trump busy as ever. Every day, going to another state,
1:01
Speaker 3: another city. He'll be going to Ohio this afternoon to
1:04
Speaker 3: campaign there. We'll get all the real poll numbers, not
1:08
Speaker 3: the fake poll numbers, later on in the show. President
1:12
Speaker 3: Trump shooting his mouth off all weekend. We love when
1:16
Speaker 3: he does that. Gives us plenty to talk about. He
1:19
Speaker 3: called for renaming the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean the Trump Oceans.
1:28
Speaker 3: the trump oceans all right now why does he do
1:30
Speaker 3: that he knows it sets you off he knows he
1:35
Speaker 3: knows it drives the left crazy he knows it gets
1:39
Speaker 3: him in an uproar and he kind of enjoys that
1:42
Speaker 3: he likes seeing you run around screaming and yelling so
1:44
Speaker 3: yeah he did call for renaming it the trump oceans
1:48
Speaker 3: but listen he doesn't really mean he said he would
1:51
Speaker 3: like to have a river but he loves all of
1:53
Speaker 3: our rivers he loves the mississippi can't rename that hey
1:57
Speaker 3: we didn't get to uh the Nobel Prize on Friday.
2:03
Speaker 3: The Nobel Prize has become the most sleazy, dirty, corrupt, biased,
2:10
Speaker 3: ridiculous award over the last couple of decades. It used
2:13
Speaker 3: to be quite the legitimate award. First, it went very left-wing,
2:18
Speaker 3: and then it went very anti-Semitic. It's a really anti-Semitic committee.
2:23
Speaker 3: You know, it was a legitimate award many, many, many
2:26
Speaker 3: years ago. The Israeli Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, 1994, got
2:33
Speaker 3: the Nobel Peace Prize. The Israeli Prime Minister. Well, in
2:37
Speaker 3: recent decades, this is the Nobel Prize Committee of today.
2:41
Speaker 3: They've denounced the award. They've said they regret giving an award.
2:45
Speaker 3: They're just very anti-Semitic. They're anti-Israel. They're anti-Semitic. And they've
2:49
Speaker 3: been doing this all along. It's an anti-Semitic committee that
2:56
Speaker 3: does this. this year they picked the biggest anti-Semite on
3:01
Speaker 3: earth they could find. And it's this woman from the UN. Again,
3:06
Speaker 3: UN is as anti-Semitic as you can get. So she's
3:10
Speaker 3: not only from the UN, she's on the International Criminal Court.
3:13
Speaker 3: That's that fake court that a bunch of crazy left-wingers
3:17
Speaker 3: created in Norway. You can just create your own court
3:20
Speaker 3: and declare it an international court of whatever. And that's
3:24
Speaker 3: all it is. There's absolutely no authority to do anything
3:27
Speaker 3: Countries don't recognize it. The United States doesn't recognize it.
3:30
Speaker 3: In fact, we're now in the process of trying to
3:34
Speaker 3: sanction that international criminal court and put it out of business.
3:38
Speaker 3: It's just a fake organization. Anyway, she's from that. And
3:41
Speaker 3: in that fake international criminal court, she declared Israel guilty
3:46
Speaker 3: of genocide. She declared Israel guilty of war crimes, just
3:50
Speaker 3: anti-Semitic nonsense. Hamas could launch the worst Holocaust on October 7th.
3:56
Speaker 3: rape women, slit babies' throats. And to her, that's not genocide.
4:01
Speaker 3: But if Israel responds, as any country would have, it's genocide.
4:05
Speaker 3: So she's a vicious anti-Semite. So she got the Nobel
4:09
Speaker 3: Peace Prize. President Trump tweeting out that it's just a
4:15
Speaker 3: horrible thing. She obviously hates Israel. She hates America. And
4:21
Speaker 3: he also said it's a stain on the country of Norway.
4:26
Speaker 3: He says the Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited
4:29
Speaker 3: by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy. Now,
4:34
Speaker 3: you know, for years, whoever hates Trump the most, whoever
4:38
Speaker 3: is the most left-wing kook they give a Nobel Prize to.
4:41
Speaker 3: Do you know they gave a Nobel Prize to the
4:43
Speaker 3: worst economist ever in the world, Paul Krugman? He was
4:47
Speaker 3: that bug-eyed weirdo New York Times economist who always got
4:52
Speaker 3: everything wrong. Remember when Trump took office in 2016, he
4:56
Speaker 3: said the whole world economy will collapse because of it.
5:00
Speaker 3: He gets everything wrong. Do you remember in, I think
5:03
Speaker 3: it was 99, when Paul Krugman wrote that big thing
5:06
Speaker 3: about how the Internet would fade away? It was nothing.
5:11
Speaker 3: It would go the way of the fax machine, that
5:13
Speaker 3: the Internet would never catch on. That's Paul Krugman, that
5:17
Speaker 3: complete idiot, and won a Nobel Prize. That's just the
5:21
Speaker 3: way they do things at that crazy, crazy committee. Speaking
5:25
Speaker 3: of Columbus Day, President Trump did issue a Columbus Day
5:28
Speaker 3: message stating that the days of plunder where the radical
5:32
Speaker 3: left Democrats, socialists and communists tore down Christopher Columbus statues.
5:38
Speaker 3: He said that's over. Cities and towns will not be
5:41
Speaker 3: ripping down the beautiful statues of Christopher Columbus. Those days
5:45
Speaker 3: of plunder are over. The statues are back more magnificent
5:49
Speaker 3: than ever. I don't know what he's going to do
5:50
Speaker 3: about it if it happens in the city, but he'll
5:53
Speaker 3: do whatever he can. So Mamdani's not going to the
5:57
Speaker 3: Columbus Day Parade. He snubbed the two Columbus Day Parades yesterday.
6:03
Speaker 3: But he tried to do, this is what he always does,
6:05
Speaker 3: he tries to do something to make it look like
6:08
Speaker 3: he's on the right side. But whenever he does that,
6:11
Speaker 3: whenever he tries to do something noble, he sticks in
6:15
Speaker 3: there something to let the crazy communist left-wingers know that
6:21
Speaker 3: he doesn't mean it. So For Italian Heritage Month, he
6:25
Speaker 3: did a video. He put it up on social media
6:28
Speaker 3: in the video, praising a great Italian. But who did
6:33
Speaker 3: he pick out? He picked out a communist, crazy Italian
6:39
Speaker 3: who had ties to the Communist Party, like a real
6:41
Speaker 3: left-wing kook of a congressman with communist ties. That's the
6:45
Speaker 3: Italian he honored. A lot of people responded, city councilwoman Palladino.
6:50
Speaker 3: Of all the men and women of the Italian descent,
6:53
Speaker 3: that's who he picked, an obscure communist who, by the way,
6:57
Speaker 3: the guy he picked was against us being in World
6:59
Speaker 3: War II. He was investigated by the FBI for ties
7:03
Speaker 3: to the Communist Party. So, you know, remember there's that 2020,
7:09
Speaker 3: there's a social media post that was uncovered. It was
7:13
Speaker 3: years ago, but it was Mamdani giving the finger to
7:18
Speaker 3: the statue of Christopher Columbus in Queens and yelling, take
7:21
Speaker 3: it down. So this is not the guy you really
7:24
Speaker 3: want in the Columbus Day Parade. So it's probably a
7:26
Speaker 3: good thing that he stay home. Now, President Trump also
7:32
Speaker 3: announced Russia, Ukraine have reached an energy ceasefire. It doesn't
7:38
Speaker 3: end the war, but they'll stop bombing refineries and oil
7:43
Speaker 3: facilities because that's what drove the price of diesel way up.
7:47
Speaker 3: So he announced that they've reached a ceasefire agreement on energy.
7:54
Speaker 3: Now the problem is apparently they didn't know they reached
7:58
Speaker 3: an agreement. Here's Zelensky.
8:00
Speaker 5: With all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society,
8:07
Speaker 5: up to our people to choose one or another leader.
8:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he announced the deal between these two. But
8:15
Speaker 3: forgot to mention it to these two, so I don't know.
8:17
Speaker 3: He also called for Ukraine to get a new leader.
8:23
Speaker 6: Ukraine-Russia should have never happened if I were president.
8:26
Speaker 2: It never would have happened.
8:28
Speaker 6: But President Zelensky could have solved this war or he
8:33
Speaker 6: could have made a deal many times. I've been there
8:35
Speaker 6: many times.
8:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's back to not liking Zelensky.
8:40
Speaker 6: I suggest they get a new leader who.
8:43
Speaker 3: Can make a deal. All right, Zelensky.
8:45
Speaker 5: Tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire,
8:52
Speaker 5: 60 days, and we will organize elections. Of course, we
8:56
Speaker 5: will be ready for any choice of our people.
9:00
Speaker 2: We are open for this.
9:02
Speaker 1: Don't attack us.
9:03
Speaker 5: Don't kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel.
9:07
Speaker 5: And I think it's fair, fair deal.
9:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you're in a war, you're in
9:12
Speaker 3: a war. So they're trying to hurt Russia's economy as
9:14
Speaker 3: much as they could. Russia's only, well, not the only,
9:17
Speaker 3: but the main business, most of their economy is oil
9:20
Speaker 3: sales and diesel oil is a big part of it.
9:24
Speaker 3: So they were hitting their diesel refineries, their diesel facilities,
9:27
Speaker 3: costing them a fortune. But the other problem is you
9:30
Speaker 3: knock out all that Russian diesel oil, it drives up
9:33
Speaker 3: the price of diesel all over the world and here
9:36
Speaker 3: in America. And that's what trucks and farmers depend on.
9:39
Speaker 3: So the price of diesel way up. Now, that caused
9:42
Speaker 3: the fake news. The Sunday shows were going crazy for
9:46
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks, screaming and yelling all the fake news,
9:49
Speaker 3: demanding that the president do something about that. Why, the
9:53
Speaker 3: high price of diesel fuel, the demanding he fix that.
9:58
Speaker 3: So he did probably the best thing. you could do.
10:01
Speaker 3: He lifted the tariffs on all Russian diesel. We were
10:04
Speaker 3: blocking the import, but now we're going to allow it
10:06
Speaker 3: to come flowing in. That'll drive the price down. So
10:09
Speaker 3: what happens on the Sunday shows yesterday? Now they attack
10:13
Speaker 3: him for doing something about it. for two, three weeks
10:15
Speaker 3: demanding he do it. Now when he does it, they're
10:18
Speaker 3: attacking him saying, how could he make a deal with Putin?
10:21
Speaker 3: What is going on? Why this deal with Putin? So
10:25
Speaker 3: that's why you just do whatever you want. That's why
10:27
Speaker 3: he doesn't care. You can't win. The fake news will
10:30
Speaker 3: attack you if you don't. They'll attack you if you do.
10:33
Speaker 3: They'll attack you if you do nothing. They'll just keep
10:35
Speaker 3: attacking you. So now the guy that was shot, this
10:41
Speaker 3: illegal career criminal, You know, you saw his rap sheet
10:45
Speaker 3: that he was arrested for this. He was convicted of this.
10:48
Speaker 3: He was, and the guy's only been here three years,
10:50
Speaker 3: pretty good rap sheet for just three years. He was
10:53
Speaker 3: shot by ice in the neck. Apparently the bullet is
10:55
Speaker 3: still lodged in his neck. They did take him to, uh,
10:58
Speaker 3: another hospital over the weekend. He's now in the Brooklyn
11:01
Speaker 3: detention center. His lawyer is saying the conditions are deplorable. Well,
11:07
Speaker 3: I think they're supposed to be in jail. I think
11:09
Speaker 3: that's the idea, but, um, Mamdani demanding his release, demanding,
11:17
Speaker 3: Mamdani now claiming he will investigate ICE. And you know
11:20
Speaker 3: this Mamdani, master investigator, why I'm sure he'll get to
11:24
Speaker 3: the bottom of everything. But ICE, listen, if you look
11:29
Speaker 3: at the numbers, ICE, you got to get illegals off
11:35
Speaker 3: the street. And if they're criminals, you got to get
11:36
Speaker 3: them out of America. If they're illegals who are raping, robbing,
11:40
Speaker 3: gang members, you have to get them out of the country.
11:44
Speaker 3: And so far, they have arrested and deported 600,000 of them.
11:50
Speaker 3: That's 600,000 criminals off the streets. That's a pretty good thing.
11:55
Speaker 3: It means a lot as far as safety for a
11:58
Speaker 3: lot of Americans. Now, they've also seen 1.9 million self-deportations,
12:04
Speaker 3: a lot of them fleeing the country before ICE gets them.
12:08
Speaker 3: That way they can go where they want instead of
12:10
Speaker 3: getting deported to somewhere they don't want to go. So
12:12
Speaker 3: if you total that up, that's two and a half
12:14
Speaker 3: million criminals that have been deported, arrested and deported. Two
12:19
Speaker 3: and a half million. And that explains why the crime
12:23
Speaker 3: numbers are down everywhere in cities all over the place.
12:29
Speaker 3: So keep it up. Mamdani will yell and scream about ICE,
12:33
Speaker 3: but it really.
12:36
Speaker 3: It shouldn't bother anybody. But he's going to investigate.
12:39
Speaker 7: In terms of what I will be doing with the
12:41
Speaker 7: police commissioner is a review of that entire 24-hour period.
12:46
Speaker 7: That includes ISIS shooting. It includes the NYPD's response to
12:49
Speaker 7: the incident, as well as the ensuing protest. It includes
12:52
Speaker 7: ISIS use of a privately owned parking lot as a
12:55
Speaker 7: staging area. And it includes every tool that is available
12:58
Speaker 7: to us to protect New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
13:01
Speaker 3: Well, but that's what he does. You know, he talks
13:03
Speaker 3: very fast and he sounds like he knows what he's
13:05
Speaker 3: talking about. And he talks like a guy who's going
13:06
Speaker 3: to get a lot of stuff done. And he talks
13:08
Speaker 3: like you can't wait to get it. In the meantime,
13:10
Speaker 3: he never does anything. So don't worry about it. He's
13:13
Speaker 3: all talk. Nothing ever actually happens.
13:16
Speaker 2: All right.
13:16
Speaker 3: It's almost Halloween. It's almost Halloween. What is the most
13:22
Speaker 3: popular Halloween costume this year? Well, actually, it's a bunch
13:25
Speaker 3: of them. Most popular Halloween costumes. See if you can guess.
13:29
Speaker 8: No.
13:31
Speaker 9: No.
13:32
Speaker 3: Sabrina Carpenter is one. Dolly Parton is another. A lot
13:37
Speaker 3: of people will be going as Dolly Parton this year.
13:41
Speaker 3: Nikki Freeman. K-pop Demon Hunters. Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. See,
13:48
Speaker 3: this is the problem with Halloween now. A lot of
13:50
Speaker 3: older people are going to open the door. They're not
13:51
Speaker 3: going to know who the hell you're supposed to be.
13:53
Speaker 3: They don't know any of these people. So, just like
13:56
Speaker 3: everything else, Halloween costumes splintered. Some people will know what
13:59
Speaker 3: this costume is. Some people will know what that costume is. Anyway, hey, Cornell,
14:06
Speaker 3: that crazy Cornell University, just making a mess out of everything.
14:10
Speaker 3: So they've announced a new program. Cornell will now offer
14:14
Speaker 3: degrees to people in prison. That's right. Don't ask. Who
14:23
Speaker 3: knows why? They're going to have prison college classes. They're
14:29
Speaker 3: starting with the Cayuga Correctional Facility. It's the Prison Education Program.
14:35
Speaker 3: It'll be a three-year bachelor professional studies program. If you're
14:40
Speaker 3: in jail, you can go to Cornell. You can actually
14:42
Speaker 3: be a Cornell student while you're in prison. The first
14:46
Speaker 3: major that's been approved, Organizations, Markets, and Society. And that's
14:51
Speaker 3: the type of major you could have at Cornell, where
14:54
Speaker 3: nobody knows what the hell it is. Organizations, Markets, and Society.
14:59
Speaker 3: What the hell is that? You know, you go to
15:00
Speaker 3: a Tech school, Lincoln Tech. You come out an electrician.
15:04
Speaker 3: You come out a plumber. You come out an HVAC expert.
15:07
Speaker 3: You know what you're doing. You're ready to go to work.
15:09
Speaker 3: You walk out with your degree in organizations, markets, and society.
15:13
Speaker 3: Go try to find a job with that stupid degree.
15:16
Speaker 3: But the first group is 18 inmates. They'll enroll in
15:21
Speaker 3: classes that will include economics, statistics, data analytics. Now, if
15:27
Speaker 3: you're in prison trying to stay alive, I would assume
15:30
Speaker 3: That's an important skill, data analytics. I assume that would
15:33
Speaker 3: help you. Entrepreneurship, marketing and finance through a combination of
15:39
Speaker 3: self-paced learning and in-person sessions with Cornell professors. These left-wing
15:46
Speaker 3: kooky Cornell professors, they can't wait to go to prison
15:49
Speaker 3: because they want to help. They want to help the prison. Meantime,
15:51
Speaker 3: they're going to get robbed blind in prison. They'll be
15:54
Speaker 3: there for discussion and network. So this is, if you've
15:58
Speaker 3: sent somebody to Cornell and paying money To Cornell, this
16:02
Speaker 3: is how your money is being wasted for this nonsense. Anyway,
16:06
Speaker 3: we've got a lot more to get to and a
16:08
Speaker 3: lot coming up today. Mark Simone here, 9 to noon,
16:11
Speaker 3: three hours every day, 9 to noon, here on 710WOR.
16:16
Speaker 3: Welcome back to The Mark Simone Show.
16:19
Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac Studios.
16:24
Speaker 3: Well, hey, just moments ago, the Department of Justice raided
16:29
Speaker 3: Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, D.C. Her immigration status, her
16:36
Speaker 3: lying about whatever, her marriage or this or that, part
16:40
Speaker 3: of the probe, her immigration paperwork, that's one of the
16:43
Speaker 3: things they were after. But they raided Ilhan Omar's home
16:47
Speaker 3: this morning in D.C., Homeland Security Investigation. And they'll keep
16:54
Speaker 3: on her. Don't be surprised if they end up finding
16:57
Speaker 3: immigration fraud there and remove her from the country. That'll
17:01
Speaker 3: be an amazing story for what happened to actually a
17:04
Speaker 3: member of Congress. Krista Pike, the woman that survived two
17:09
Speaker 3: lethal injections. Krista Pike discharged from the hospital. She's out
17:14
Speaker 3: of the hospital. She's back in prison. They're still keeping
17:18
Speaker 3: her in prison, but she's out of the hospital. She
17:20
Speaker 3: said she's grateful to the first responders and her medical team.
17:25
Speaker 3: She's continuing to receive medical care in prison. They'll track
17:28
Speaker 3: her recovery. Her lawyers are pleading with the governor of
17:34
Speaker 3: that state, who's a Republican, Bill Lee, to commute her sentence.
17:38
Speaker 3: She's endured punishment greater than any other person in the
17:42
Speaker 3: history of the American death penalty. The rest of them
17:47
Speaker 3: are all dead. I would say that's a greater punishment.
17:52
Speaker 3: She is. You got to give her credit for a
17:54
Speaker 3: relentless chutzpah. She keeps fighting to get rid of this execution.
18:00
Speaker 3: She beat tooth lethal injections. You know, she's got all
18:03
Speaker 3: kinds of medical issues and because she's all screwed up inside,
18:07
Speaker 3: her veins are so tight and tiny that it's hard
18:10
Speaker 3: for anything to flow through them. So that's why the
18:13
Speaker 3: lethal injection was unable to flow through her veins. Now,
18:18
Speaker 3: Believe it or not, in that state, you're given a
18:19
Speaker 3: choice of electrocution, lethal injection. She picked lethal injection. So
18:26
Speaker 3: maybe she knew that she had a chance of surviving
18:29
Speaker 3: it with those bad veins. Maybe that was the idea.
18:33
Speaker 3: The midterms are 22 days away. Three weeks till the midterms.
18:38
Speaker 2: Three weeks.
18:40
Speaker 3: Three weeks. It's tightened up a lot. Coming up in
18:43
Speaker 3: our third hour, we'll have the greatest pollster in the world.
18:45
Speaker 3: He'll go over all the latest numbers. But it's tightened
18:49
Speaker 3: up a lot. Now, it's hard to say. It's so tight,
18:52
Speaker 3: it's hard to really predict anything. But it looks like
18:54
Speaker 3: the Republicans will hold the Senate. That looks very good.
18:58
Speaker 3: Holding the House, now that's in question. They could lose
19:00
Speaker 3: the House and keep the Senate. Now, you've got to
19:04
Speaker 3: remember a couple of things. Let's say that Trump lost everything.
19:07
Speaker 3: Let's say he lost the House, he lost the Senate.
19:09
Speaker 3: It's not that bad for him. Problem number one, they'd
19:14
Speaker 3: be impeaching him every week. Well, that never bothers him.
19:17
Speaker 3: He went through that the first term. kind of enjoys it,
19:20
Speaker 3: I think. But remember, the other thing is he's got
19:23
Speaker 3: a great cabinet. He's not going to need any new
19:27
Speaker 3: cabinet members. Everybody there is staying, Rubio and Hegseth and
19:31
Speaker 3: Besant and Ludnick. They're all staying. So he's not going
19:34
Speaker 3: to need to get any cabinet members confirmed by the Senate.
19:38
Speaker 3: He won't need Senate confirmations. And the other thing is
19:43
Speaker 3: he doesn't really use a lot of legislation. Now, in
19:46
Speaker 3: the first term, There was the big, beautiful bill, the
19:49
Speaker 3: tax relief. Boy, that helped a lot of people. I
19:52
Speaker 3: know you keep hearing these lies. Tax cuts for billionaires.
19:55
Speaker 3: It wasn't tax cuts for billionaires. The vast majority of
19:59
Speaker 3: it went to lower and middle income. But he doesn't
20:03
Speaker 3: need a lot of legislation. He generally governs by executive order.
20:07
Speaker 3: So if he lost Congress and had no chance of
20:09
Speaker 3: any legislation, it wouldn't matter to him. He would just
20:12
Speaker 3: use executive orders. But we'll see. He's got three weeks.
20:15
Speaker 3: He works his tail off. You'll want to be at
20:18
Speaker 3: this point a little behind with a lot of momentum.
20:20
Speaker 3: They seem to have some momentum. Democrats have nowhere to
20:23
Speaker 3: go but down in this race. They're probably already peaked.
20:28
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. It's going to be tough.
20:30
Speaker 3: But he will be out there all over the country,
20:32
Speaker 3: crisscrossing the country. As I say, Ohio today, another state
20:36
Speaker 3: every day. Hey, by the way, he'll go to the
20:40
Speaker 3: Philippines next month for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit. Again,
20:48
Speaker 3: I don't know why he wanted this job. He was
20:50
Speaker 3: in New York. He was having fun. Who wants to
20:52
Speaker 3: go to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit? Does
20:56
Speaker 3: that sound like a lot of fun to you? And
20:58
Speaker 3: then from there, he goes on to China, first Manila,
21:01
Speaker 3: and then to China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Seriously,
21:09
Speaker 3: if somebody called you and said, hey, you want to come?
21:10
Speaker 3: I got an extra ticket for the Asia Pacific Economic
21:13
Speaker 3: Cooperation Summit. Who the hell would want to sit through that?
21:18
Speaker 3: In Shenzhen, China, it'll take place November 17th, 19th. All
21:21
Speaker 3: of this is after the midterms. He was invited to
21:24
Speaker 3: the Philippines by the president. You know who the president
21:26
Speaker 3: is of the Philippines? Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. Yeah, Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.,
21:34
Speaker 3: Philippine president. He has been inviting Trump to visit his
21:38
Speaker 3: country for some time now, so that's why he'll go. Hey,
21:41
Speaker 3: that Mamdani pied-a-terre tax, it's in real trouble, this pied-a-terre tax. Now,
21:49
Speaker 3: they sent out 17,000 letters, most of them incorrect. So
21:55
Speaker 3: a court has already ruled you just can't send everybody
21:58
Speaker 3: a letter saying they're guilty and they better pay you.
22:01
Speaker 3: You've got to prove they're guilty. Now, Mamdani's letters... You'd
22:04
Speaker 3: get this letter saying, you're definitely guilty. You owe this money.
22:09
Speaker 3: If you think you don't owe it, you have to
22:10
Speaker 3: prove to us you don't owe it. Well, courts have
22:13
Speaker 3: ruled that's not the American legal system. Everybody's innocent until
22:17
Speaker 3: proven guilty. It's not up to them to prove they're innocent.
22:20
Speaker 3: The government has to prove they're guilty. So that was
22:23
Speaker 3: problem number one. Problem number two, they just sent out
22:26
Speaker 3: these letters left and right, and most of them are wrong. 10,000,
22:31
Speaker 3: they sent 17,000 letters. 10,000 of them have questioned the
22:36
Speaker 3: letters demanding an exemption. And listen to this, 6,000 were approved.
22:41
Speaker 3: Out of 10,000 demands for exemption, 6,000 already have been
22:46
Speaker 3: approved and were valid. They didn't deserve the letter. So 60%
22:52
Speaker 3: already proved they incorrectly got the letter and the rest
22:54
Speaker 3: will end up proving it. Now there's another lawsuit coming
23:00
Speaker 3: And this is the one I think will end the
23:02
Speaker 3: pied-a-terre tax. It's a brilliant lawsuit. It's from Wilbur Ross,
23:06
Speaker 3: the former Commerce Secretary. Also, is it Howard Ludnick? Steve Wynn.
23:13
Speaker 3: Steve Wynn is the other guy. Steve Wynn and Wilbur
23:16
Speaker 3: Ross are suing. This is the one that's probably going
23:19
Speaker 3: to end that pied-a-terre tax because Wilbur Ross argues brilliantly
23:24
Speaker 3: that in America, you can't have taxation without representation. That's
23:28
Speaker 3: the whole idea of America. That was the Revolutionary War.
23:32
Speaker 3: No taxation without representation. So Wilbur Ross is arguing that
23:38
Speaker 3: if he doesn't live here and he can't vote here,
23:41
Speaker 3: he's got no representation, he lives in Florida, so he
23:45
Speaker 3: can't be taxed without a chance to vote. If you
23:49
Speaker 3: can't vote in the elections, you can't be taxed. He's
23:50
Speaker 3: going to have a great point there. This will go
23:53
Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court. His other point is it violates
23:56
Speaker 3: the Commerce Clause in that A state can't tax residents
24:03
Speaker 3: of another state. So both those things are pretty clever.
24:06
Speaker 3: He probably will win that lawsuit in the end. And
24:09
Speaker 3: that'll be the end of the P.O. to terror attacks. Hey,
24:12
Speaker 3: we got a lot to get to, and then we'll
24:14
Speaker 3: take some calls coming up. Mark Simone here. Nine to noon.
24:18
Speaker 3: Three hours. Nine to noon now every day. 710WOR.
24:22
Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
24:25
Speaker 2: Three.
24:26
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
24:32
Speaker 10: 710WOR.
24:33
Speaker 3: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey,
24:35
Speaker 3: you got to give the New York Times credit. They
24:40
Speaker 3: do some amazing journalism. Look at this hard-hitting piece here
24:44
Speaker 3: in today's New York Times. Is it unprofessional to bring
24:49
Speaker 3: iced coffee to a job interview? Well, it's a long
24:53
Speaker 3: article exploring this. I could give you the answer without
24:56
Speaker 3: even reading it. Yes, of course it is. Don't bring
24:58
Speaker 3: iced coffee into a job interview. First of all, don't
25:01
Speaker 3: bring anything to drink into it. It doesn't look good. Now,
25:06
Speaker 3: if you brought a cup of coffee and you're sipping coffee,
25:08
Speaker 3: that's one thing. The problem with iced coffee, everybody drinks
25:12
Speaker 3: it with a straw. You always look like an idiot.
25:17
Speaker 3: sipping a straw during a job interview. You don't do that.
25:20
Speaker 3: Why would you bring a martini into it? Would you
25:23
Speaker 3: bring an espresso martini into a job? No, don't bring
25:26
Speaker 3: iced coffee. First of all, it's insulting to them. You know,
25:30
Speaker 3: you show up and if they want to offer you
25:32
Speaker 3: some water, some coffee, they will. Now, you know, years ago,
25:37
Speaker 3: it was an old salesman trick. All the old sales
25:40
Speaker 3: guys When they'd go see a buyer or a client,
25:44
Speaker 3: they would bring food. They would bring bagels. They would
25:47
Speaker 3: bring donuts. They would bring something because when you hand
25:49
Speaker 3: the guy the box, it wasn't for them. You'd give
25:53
Speaker 3: it to them. They'd always open it up and have
25:56
Speaker 3: you eat. You'd both eat it while you're sitting at
25:58
Speaker 3: the desk. And they said it was quite the icebreaker
26:01
Speaker 3: because now you're both eating together. It creates a bond
26:05
Speaker 3: that wasn't there otherwise. Let's take some calls. Let's go
26:08
Speaker 3: to Bonnie in New Hope. Bonnie, how are you doing?
26:12
Speaker 11: Okay, how are you, Mark?
26:13
Speaker 2: Let me check.
26:15
Speaker 3: Not bad, not bad.
26:18
Speaker 11: I was calling to talk about the Jesse Kelly show.
26:22
Speaker 11: I never heard anybody really mention it before.
26:25
Speaker 3: Then how'd you know about it?
26:27
Speaker 11: Well, on WLBR. He has a great show. I've been
26:31
Speaker 11: listening to him since he started. He's a historian. He
26:36
Speaker 11: can talk about any topic.
26:38
Speaker 3: Well, it's a good show. That's why we have it
26:40
Speaker 3: on six to nine every night here.
26:42
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's great.
26:42
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for letting us know what shows we have.
26:45
Speaker 11: And I wanted to mention this. Vincent was right last week.
26:50
Speaker 9: All right.
26:50
Speaker 11: He wanted to know, how did that criminal ever get
26:54
Speaker 11: a driver's license?
26:55
Speaker 3: Well, anybody get a driver's license now. You don't have
26:58
Speaker 3: to be a citizen. You don't have to be anything.
27:00
Speaker 3: But anyway, Mrs. Kelly, thanks for calling. Let's go to
27:04
Speaker 3: Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
27:07
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
27:08
Speaker 3: Yes, Mike.
27:09
Speaker 4: I think it's interesting that Mondani, while he's hysterical about
27:13
Speaker 4: this guy, the shooting in the Bronx, he seems to
27:15
Speaker 4: forget that the Italians in this country were treated quite poorly. Many, many,
27:21
Speaker 4: many lynchings in the 1800s and 1900s, culminating probably the
27:26
Speaker 4: most notorious case with Sacco and Vanzetti, who were railroaded
27:32
Speaker 4: to the death's house. So here he is in a
27:36
Speaker 4: country discovered by Italians, by the way, in a country
27:39
Speaker 4: where he's allowed to crap all over it, and he
27:43
Speaker 4: can't show up at a parade and be amicable.
27:48
Speaker 3: Well, what would you do if you're him? I mean,
27:52
Speaker 3: the right thing to do is show up, but if
27:53
Speaker 3: you're him, you know you're going to get booed the
27:55
Speaker 3: whole way. What would you do?
27:56
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing. He's put himself in his corner,
28:01
Speaker 4: and he can't show up because of that very thing.
28:07
Speaker 4: You're right. It would be phony for him to show up.
28:09
Speaker 4: Beyond that, the parade is one thing. It's just not
28:13
Speaker 4: recognizing the contribution of this population that suffered just as
28:18
Speaker 4: much as the people he's complaining about now suffering.
28:21
Speaker 3: Absolutely. And what would we do without the Italians? What
28:23
Speaker 3: the hell would we be eating?
28:25
Speaker 4: Forget it. I'm telling you.
28:27
Speaker 9: If you.
28:28
Speaker 4: If you counted up all the pizza I've had in
28:29
Speaker 4: my life, it could go from here to Mars.
28:33
Speaker 3: There'd be no food on the Upper East Side. It's
28:34
Speaker 3: all Italian restaurants. What would you do?
28:39
Speaker 4: And movie making and music. I mean, you.
28:42
Speaker 13: Know, between Italians and Jews and.
28:45
Speaker 4: The Irish, the great American songbook wouldn't exist.
28:48
Speaker 3: Exactly. Well, Jews mostly were tin panning.
28:52
Speaker 4: No, they wrote them and the Italians sang them.
28:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically. But without the Jewish songwriters, you wouldn't have
28:58
Speaker 3: the great American songbook, for the most part. There were
29:01
Speaker 3: some exceptions. Now, I think the problem with Mamdani, a
29:07
Speaker 3: parade you don't talk. And I've been in these parades.
29:10
Speaker 3: It's tough. You've got to walk for miles and keep waving.
29:14
Speaker 3: Your arm gets tired. You're just waving. But he doesn't
29:16
Speaker 3: like things where you don't talk. He's a good talker.
29:19
Speaker 3: He likes to talk. Things where you just wave, that's
29:22
Speaker 3: not for him. I think that's the other thing.
29:24
Speaker 4: You're right about pointing out how fast these guys talk.
29:27
Speaker 4: El-Fayed does the same thing. They talk a mile a minute,
29:31
Speaker 4: and you think, boy, this guy is a genius. I
29:34
Speaker 4: can't believe it. Anybody who can talk that fast has
29:36
Speaker 4: to be a genius.
29:37
Speaker 3: It's a younger generational thing. It's like you listen to
29:40
Speaker 3: the Ben Shapiro show. You listen to a normal show.
29:42
Speaker 3: The guy just says, hey, how are you? Good afternoon.
29:45
Speaker 3: You listen to the Ben Shapiro show. It's like a
29:48
Speaker 3: mile a minute.
29:50
Speaker 2: A mile a minute.
29:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
29:51
Speaker 3: It makes you sound very smart. It works, though. Well,
29:55
Speaker 3: thanks for calling, Mike. Yeah, a parade is a tough.
29:57
Speaker 3: I've had a march in a few of those. And
30:00
Speaker 3: it's fun. You're right in the middle of the street,
30:02
Speaker 3: crowds on both sides. You wave, you wave, you wave.
30:05
Speaker 3: By block number 75, your arm wants to fall off.
30:08
Speaker 3: You're tired. I admire the royal family because that's basically
30:12
Speaker 3: all they do is wave at a parade. But they
30:14
Speaker 3: must have like the greatest arms. They just never get
30:17
Speaker 3: tired of it. Let's go to Tom in Queens. Tom,
30:21
Speaker 3: how are you doing?
30:22
Speaker 12: Hey, Mark.
30:23
Speaker 4: Good morning.
30:24
Speaker 9: So I saw the Letitia James debate last week.
30:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, she got slaughtered in that, didn't she?
30:29
Speaker 12: Oh, she got creamed.
30:31
Speaker 4: But the big thing was, you have to admit, if
30:34
Speaker 4: that button ever flew off, it would have broke the
30:36
Speaker 4: sound barrier.
30:37
Speaker 3: Oh, you mean her jacket was too tight? Oh, my God.
30:40
Speaker 9: She would have gave Rodney Dangerfield a year's worth of jokes.
30:43
Speaker 14: Yeah.
30:44
Speaker 3: All right, well, good point. Yeah, Letitia James had a debate.
30:47
Speaker 3: The Republican candidate for Attorney General is phenomenal, and she
30:51
Speaker 3: showed real brilliance in that debate. And Letitia James, it
30:55
Speaker 3: was clear she didn't know anything about anything, even a
30:57
Speaker 3: simple question like the past attorney generals in New York,
31:02
Speaker 3: who do you admire? And the Republican candidate immediately said,
31:08
Speaker 3: Dennis Vacco. And she went through some of the things
31:10
Speaker 3: Vacco accomplished. And then they went to Letitia James and
31:13
Speaker 3: she couldn't name any previous attorney general. It was clear
31:17
Speaker 3: she had no idea who was attorney general in the past.
31:20
Speaker 3: And there were a lot of other questions where she
31:22
Speaker 3: just didn't know what the hell she was talking about.
31:24
Speaker 3: It was a disaster for her, that debate. Now, the
31:27
Speaker 3: good thing for her, and it was smart of her,
31:30
Speaker 3: they made sure it was on New York One. Nobody
31:32
Speaker 3: sees New York One. New York One has like 12 viewers.
31:36
Speaker 3: And it's a very biased channel. New York One is
31:39
Speaker 3: the most biased left wing. So when she got into trouble,
31:42
Speaker 3: Letitia James kept lying. She said, Trump who put kids
31:45
Speaker 3: in cages. Well, that's not true. That was the Biden-Obama administration.
31:50
Speaker 3: All those pictures of the kids in the cages are
31:52
Speaker 3: from 2008. It was Biden and Obama, but it's New
31:55
Speaker 3: York One, so of course the moderator never corrected her.
31:59
Speaker 3: Let's go to Dave in New City. Dave, how you doing?
32:04
Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Dave, are you there?
32:09
Speaker 5: Dave?
32:10
Speaker 3: There's something wrong with that phone line, I think. Let's
32:13
Speaker 3: go to Marco in New Jersey. Marco, how you doing?
32:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just wanted to comment on the lady that
32:19
Speaker 7: called it, how did that criminal get a driver's license?
32:23
Speaker 4: How did a.
32:25
Speaker 15: Criminal become president?
32:26
Speaker 4: That's what I want to know. That's the real question.
32:29
Speaker 3: You're talking about Biden?
32:32
Speaker 16: No, Trump.
32:33
Speaker 2: Oh, Trump.
32:34
Speaker 17: Trump, he was.
32:37
Speaker 9: Yeah, wasn't he convicted in New York City of, you know,
32:39
Speaker 9: defrauding the taxpayer?
32:42
Speaker 2: Not really.
32:42
Speaker 3: It wasn't a real case. It wasn't a real charge.
32:45
Speaker 3: Higher courts just tossing it out, ruling it absolutely idiotic.
32:48
Speaker 3: You didn't actually fall for that, did you? Yeah, but
32:52
Speaker 3: you really thought he committed a crime.
32:55
Speaker 9: But why would I Google that?
32:56
Speaker 4: It says, yes, he's convicted.
32:58
Speaker 10: He was convicted.
32:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was, but it wasn't a real charge. It
33:01
Speaker 3: wasn't actually a crime. It'll all be tossed out. But
33:04
Speaker 3: you fell for that? Seriously. You sound like a smart guy.
33:08
Speaker 3: You fell for that?
33:10
Speaker 11: So he's not a criminal?
33:12
Speaker 10: No.
33:13
Speaker 3: He wasn't convicted? Tell me what the crime was.
33:15
Speaker 15: 34 counts of defraud in the state of New York.
33:19
Speaker 9: He was found guilty of it.
33:20
Speaker 15: Yes or no?
33:22
Speaker 12: Yeah.
33:22
Speaker 3: And it all gets tossed out.
33:24
Speaker 15: When?
33:25
Speaker 4: When is it going to get tossed out?
33:26
Speaker 3: Well, they're delaying the appeal. But seriously. This is a
33:29
Speaker 3: good example of how this works. People will fall for
33:32
Speaker 3: this stuff. Absolutely fall for it. You know, our greatest
33:35
Speaker 3: legal scholars, uh, the Alvin Bragg case, our greatest legal scholars,
33:40
Speaker 3: guys like Alan Dershowitz, Dershowitz actually said, I've been doing
33:44
Speaker 3: this for 60 years. I still can't figure out what
33:46
Speaker 3: the hell the charge was. There's not any conviction on
33:50
Speaker 3: any of those cases will stand up anywhere. Every appeals
33:54
Speaker 3: judge has already, they haven't, uh, If you're the governor,
33:57
Speaker 3: you can delay the appeals. But every appeals judge has
34:00
Speaker 3: said this case is absolutely ridiculous. It'll be tossed out instantly.
34:04
Speaker 3: But you see, it works. People fall for that. They
34:07
Speaker 3: actually believe that there was a crime committed. Anyway, we
34:11
Speaker 3: got a lot to get to in the next two hours,
34:14
Speaker 3: including John McLaughlin, the world's best pollster. We'll see what
34:16
Speaker 3: the real numbers are. And hey, don't forget, coming up
34:21
Speaker 3: at noon, Buck Sexton and Clay Travis do a very
34:23
Speaker 3: good show. You can learn a lot listening to them.
34:25
Speaker 3: Noon to 3. And then at 3 o'clock, the most
34:28
Speaker 3: listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity. Oh, actually,
34:31
Speaker 3: I'll be filling in for Sean today. So it'll be
34:34
Speaker 3: me today, 3 to 6. Then the aforementioned Jesse Kelly
34:37
Speaker 3: at 6. Then the very funny Jimmy Fallon every night,
34:41
Speaker 3: 9 to midnight, here on 710WOR.
34:47
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. 9 till noon weekdays.
34:50
Speaker 3: More Mark.
34:51
Speaker 16: 710WOR.
34:51
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm getting bombarded by emails from attorneys, legal people.
34:59
Speaker 3: Trump is actually not convicted of anything. You're not convicted
35:02
Speaker 3: until you're sentenced. It's not officially technically conviction without sentencing,
35:07
Speaker 3: isn't it? They don't sentence them because they know the
35:08
Speaker 3: charges won't stand up. Hey, we've got two more hours
35:12
Speaker 3: to go. Back after the news here on 710WOR.
35:16
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show.
35:18
Speaker 14: Mark Simone.
35:20
Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
35:24
Speaker 3: Hey, it's three weeks until the midterms. Three weeks until
35:28
Speaker 3: the midterm elections. So we've had a lot of debates.
35:33
Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman and Hochul. We'll debate, I think it's this week.
35:39
Speaker 3: Is it tomorrow night? But it's one of these New
35:41
Speaker 3: York One debates where nobody will see it because it's
35:43
Speaker 3: on New York One. Now, the last debate was the
35:46
Speaker 3: Attorney General Letitia James getting slaughtered by her opponent. Letitia
35:51
Speaker 3: James was awful, just awful in the debate. The opponent
35:56
Speaker 3: was very strong. But it's New York One. Nobody saw it.
35:59
Speaker 3: That's the problem. Tomorrow night is the Blakeman-Hogel debate. Most
36:04
Speaker 3: people don't even have New York One, so they couldn't
36:08
Speaker 3: watch it if they wanted to. It's only got like
36:09
Speaker 3: a handful of viewers, and this is deliberate. Hochul has
36:14
Speaker 3: turned down debates on real TV stations like Channel 2, 4, 7.
36:18
Speaker 3: She's turned down all the debates. She'll only agree to
36:20
Speaker 3: New York One because nobody sees it and because it's
36:24
Speaker 3: very left-wing, very biased. Errol Lewis, nice guy, but really
36:28
Speaker 3: slanted left-wing. He'll be the moderator, so it favors Hochul.
36:33
Speaker 3: But Blakeman is a lot smarter. Blakeman is a lot— I mean,
36:39
Speaker 3: when it comes to just being right on the issues,
36:40
Speaker 3: it's Blakeman. Hochul is just double-talking, doesn't know which way
36:45
Speaker 3: to turn. She's trying to embrace Mom Donnie, trying to
36:50
Speaker 3: appease everybody. That never works, of course. So we'll see
36:53
Speaker 3: tomorrow night. You know, some of these debates are interesting.
36:56
Speaker 3: A lot of people up for re-election, not just in Congress,
36:58
Speaker 3: but there's a governor's race in Pennsylvania. Josh Shapiro had
37:02
Speaker 3: a debate. Josh Shapiro is Jewish. And in the debate,
37:06
Speaker 3: he was asked about Israel being our ally. He was
37:09
Speaker 3: afraid to commit to that. I guess he thinks being
37:14
Speaker 3: Jewish is a problem among Democrats, so he was afraid
37:17
Speaker 3: to support Israel in the debate. Just crazy, crazy, unbelievable anti-Semitism,
37:25
Speaker 3: just infiltrating every inch of the Democratic Party, even a
37:30
Speaker 3: Guy like Shapiro, who's Jewish, who's normally a common sense
37:33
Speaker 3: sort of guy. The only guy who's not afraid is Fetterman.
37:37
Speaker 3: The Republicans would love to have Fetterman. Here's Trump.
37:40
Speaker 2: I'd love to see it. I think he's great.
37:43
Speaker 6: It's going to be hard for him to get the
37:46
Speaker 6: nomination as a Democrat, but I'd love to have him
37:50
Speaker 6: as a Republican. John Fetterman's a great guy.
37:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's going to win. I don't
37:56
Speaker 3: think he's going to switch parties. First of all, if
37:57
Speaker 3: he becomes a Republican, he'd have to actually buy a
37:59
Speaker 3: sport coat. He'd have to get a suit. He'd have
38:01
Speaker 3: to wear a tie. You can't walk around like you're
38:04
Speaker 3: here to, you know, like you just got off a
38:06
Speaker 3: moving van. You got to actually dress up. I mean,
38:09
Speaker 3: he's dressed like he's working at a car wash or something,
38:13
Speaker 3: but that's his act. Al-Sayed, we'll see what happens with him.
38:21
Speaker 3: He had a debate.
38:22
Speaker 10: He.
38:23
Speaker 3: He's a good, like Mamdani, he's a good talker. He
38:25
Speaker 3: can smile. He looks good. But just a terrible, awful
38:30
Speaker 3: on issues. Hey, President Trump up in Syracuse campaigning this week.
38:37
Speaker 3: He's campaigning in different states every day. I mean, he
38:40
Speaker 3: talked about El-Sayed.
38:41
Speaker 14: The guy's a jihadist. Look at his statements from two
38:44
Speaker 14: years ago. He's a jihadist.
38:45
Speaker 6: I don't want a jihadist as a senator from Michigan.
38:50
Speaker 3: Now, he campaigned in Syracuse Friday. Bruce Blakeman was there.
38:57
Speaker 3: He went after Hochul.
38:58
Speaker 6: New York is going to defeat radical left governor Tad Diogo.
39:04
Speaker 15: Yeah.
39:05
Speaker 6: Yeah.
39:05
Speaker 3: And he brought Mike Tyson with him. Mike Tyson came
39:09
Speaker 3: to speak with Trump.
39:10
Speaker 2: I won't be fighting him today, but I've been his
39:13
Speaker 2: fan for a long time. We've been friends for a
39:16
Speaker 2: long time. Iron Mike. Nobody liked him.
39:18
Speaker 5: Yeah.
39:19
Speaker 3: Hey, remember Trump used to promote fights. He owned a
39:22
Speaker 3: football team. You forget his sports background. He actually owned
39:25
Speaker 3: a football team. Remember the generals? Was it the New
39:28
Speaker 3: Jersey generals? And actually promoted a lot of fights. But
39:32
Speaker 3: Tyson spoke at a Trump rally. Good for him. Speaking
39:36
Speaker 3: of football, the Giants yesterday didn't win, but they got
39:41
Speaker 3: a tie. The Giants tied the Commanders. I didn't know
39:45
Speaker 3: you could have a tie anymore, but apparently that's the rule.
39:48
Speaker 3: In the postseason, there's no ties. You play until somebody wins.
39:52
Speaker 3: But in the regular season, you can have a tie.
39:55
Speaker 3: First one in a while, I guess. There have been
39:57
Speaker 3: 320 ties in NFL history.
39:58
Speaker 14: 320.
39:58
Speaker 3: Now, most of them, 300 of them, were from 1920
39:59
Speaker 3: to 1973. This is before the overtime rules existed. Once
40:02
Speaker 3: they created overtime, there have only been 30 ties since then.
40:05
Speaker 3: Strange thing. to have a tie, but okay. President Trump
40:21
Speaker 3: picked a new press secretary, Katie Zakaria. It's pretty good.
40:25
Speaker 3: She's a conservative commentator. You've seen her all over television,
40:30
Speaker 3: been on Fox a lot. But she also worked for
40:33
Speaker 3: President Trump. She worked at his social media site, Truth Social,
40:36
Speaker 3: for a long time. In fact, she was one of
40:39
Speaker 3: the people running it. Good background. You know, more than
40:43
Speaker 3: 10 years ago, she spent a couple of years in Beijing, China,
40:48
Speaker 3: proficient in Chinese. All right, that can help. A lot
40:52
Speaker 3: of people were pushing for her. A lot of people
40:54
Speaker 3: recommended her. But she'll be the new press secretary. She's 41.
41:00
Speaker 3: Good looking, beautiful. Trump likes those good looking press secretaries.
41:04
Speaker 3: And she's married. She's got kids. It's a tough job.
41:08
Speaker 3: The reason Caroline Levitt left, you know, if you're 41,
41:12
Speaker 3: your kids are a little older. But Caroline Levitt, very,
41:15
Speaker 3: very young kids. In fact, one just born months ago.
41:18
Speaker 3: It's a tough job if you're trying to raise your
41:20
Speaker 3: kids because it's not nine to five. It's all day
41:24
Speaker 3: and night, this press secretary job. You're in the White
41:27
Speaker 3: House from like seven in the morning till six at night.
41:30
Speaker 3: The problem with a guy like President Trump, he'll work
41:33
Speaker 3: till seven, eight o'clock. So you're there a lot. And
41:36
Speaker 3: then when you're the White House press secretary, your phone
41:39
Speaker 3: rings every hour, all night, All weekend, they'll wake you
41:44
Speaker 3: up for anything, anything, like the Houthis bombed the airport
41:48
Speaker 3: in Saudi Arabia. You'll get woken up at 3 in
41:51
Speaker 3: the morning. They'll want to brief you on that. Anything
41:55
Speaker 3: that happens in the news, you get a call, and
41:58
Speaker 3: it's not 30 seconds. You're going to be on the
42:00
Speaker 3: phone for 20 minutes getting briefed on what just happened.
42:04
Speaker 3: So it's a round-the-clock job. You're on call 24-7. It's
42:08
Speaker 3: very tough if you're trying to raise your kids. So
42:13
Speaker 3: that's why she left. Now, some people say, well, she
42:16
Speaker 3: just took a job at Fox News. If she wants
42:19
Speaker 3: to be with her kids, how could, well, because she
42:22
Speaker 3: took a job as a contributor. That means you're a
42:24
Speaker 3: guest on a few shows every day. Now, that's easy.
42:28
Speaker 3: You do that from home. They set up a little
42:30
Speaker 3: TV setup in your house. And if you're on Fox
42:33
Speaker 3: and Friends, you go, one room has your TV thing
42:37
Speaker 3: in it. So if you're going to be on Fox
42:38
Speaker 3: and Friends, you go in the room there for about
42:40
Speaker 3: 10 minutes, do the guest appearance, and that's it. Then
42:45
Speaker 3: later in the afternoon, you go in the room again,
42:47
Speaker 3: do another TV show. If you're going to be on
42:49
Speaker 3: Hannity that night, you go in that room for 10.
42:51
Speaker 3: So it's three times a day you got to go
42:53
Speaker 3: in that room for 10 minutes. It's not a full-time job.
42:55
Speaker 3: It's very easy. And you can do it from home.
42:58
Speaker 3: And easy to raise your kids with a job like that. Hey,
43:01
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, you know, the word is she's running. She's running.
43:04
Speaker 2: Except.
43:05
Speaker 3: Her husband, Doug Amoff, is telling friends privately he doesn't
43:10
Speaker 3: want her to run. He does not want her to run.
43:14
Speaker 3: He absolutely does not want her to run. Now, why
43:16
Speaker 3: would that be? I don't know. I mean, you'd want
43:19
Speaker 3: your wife to be president of the United States, wouldn't you?
43:24
Speaker 3: But maybe he knows she's going to get totally humiliated
43:28
Speaker 3: right out of the race and lose, so maybe he
43:30
Speaker 3: doesn't want to be associated with that. Could be, I
43:33
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe... She's been vice president. That's one thing.
43:37
Speaker 3: But if you're running for president, the opposition research will
43:42
Speaker 3: be intense. You may be looking into him. Who knows
43:45
Speaker 3: what the hell this guy's got going on behind the scenes.
43:48
Speaker 3: Maybe he doesn't need that. Or maybe he just doesn't
43:50
Speaker 3: want to have their life turned upside down running for president.
43:53
Speaker 3: But he's telling people he does not want her to run. Now,
43:56
Speaker 3: the question is, does she listen to him? I don't know.
43:59
Speaker 3: I don't know. They seem to have a good marriage. Hey,
44:04
Speaker 3: you know that big movie, Social Reckoning? It was the
44:06
Speaker 3: sequel to The Social Network. Aaron Sorkin, that left-wing writer,
44:10
Speaker 3: Aaron Sorkin, Social Reckoning. Oh, this is going to be
44:14
Speaker 3: a big movie. Well, it opened this weekend. Pretty much bombed.
44:18
Speaker 3: It did $ 5 million. It's supposed to do like $ 40 million,
44:21
Speaker 3: but it did $ 5 million. It bombed. Not successful. People
44:27
Speaker 3: not interested. The original movie, all right, maybe years ago
44:32
Speaker 3: it was good. Nobody wants to see this now. The
44:36
Speaker 3: Democratic Socialists now demanding that Mamdani fire Jessica Tisch. They
44:42
Speaker 3: want her out.
44:44
Speaker 2: Why?
44:44
Speaker 3: Who knows? Who knows? Well, she is Jewish. It might
44:49
Speaker 3: be that simple. These Democratic Socialists tend to be extremely anti-Semitic.
44:56
Speaker 3: She's Jewish, from a wealthy, prominent family. This is everything
45:00
Speaker 3: Socialists hate. If you're successful, they can't stand you. This
45:04
Speaker 3: is the only thing where people hate whoever does well.
45:08
Speaker 3: When it comes to this stuff, if you go into
45:10
Speaker 3: business and you create an incredible business and make a fortune,
45:13
Speaker 3: they hate you. They hate everything else. If you're the best,
45:17
Speaker 3: they love you. In sports, if you hit the most
45:19
Speaker 3: home runs, they love you. Could you imagine if everything
45:23
Speaker 3: else was like that? When it comes to sports, whoever's
45:26
Speaker 3: the best hitter, they hate him. They hate him. He
45:28
Speaker 3: should be taxed to death. Or TV, whoever has the
45:32
Speaker 3: number one show, we hate him. He has the number
45:33
Speaker 3: one show. Success is just something these people can't stand. Hey,
45:39
Speaker 3: I finally watched 60 Minutes. I haven't watched it in years.
45:43
Speaker 3: It's back on track. They're trying to do the right stuff,
45:45
Speaker 3: the right kind of pieces. The problem is they don't
45:47
Speaker 3: have the talent to do it anymore. Like the opening
45:50
Speaker 3: piece was all about the Secret Service today, which is
45:55
Speaker 3: an interesting idea because we know that Butler, Pennsylvania was
45:59
Speaker 3: a disaster. The Secret Service under Biden fell apart. It
46:02
Speaker 3: was not working properly. All kinds of errors allowed that
46:06
Speaker 3: shooter to get to Butler and shoot at the president.
46:10
Speaker 3: So what's being done to clean up? It's a good
46:12
Speaker 3: idea for a piece. Now, if it was Mike Wallace
46:14
Speaker 3: or Morley Safer, it would have been a great piece.
46:17
Speaker 3: If it was Don Hewitt, the genius storyteller, Don Hewitt
46:21
Speaker 3: running 60 Minutes, it would have been a much better piece.
46:24
Speaker 3: But it's Nora O'Donnell, very nice woman, got an IQ
46:27
Speaker 3: like 105 maybe, not that bright. And The people that
46:33
Speaker 3: are writing, producing at 60 Minutes, it's not the top
46:35
Speaker 3: talent anymore. So it was a good piece, but Secret Service,
46:40
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, people in there realize President Trump
46:44
Speaker 3: now holds the record for the most assassination attempts. Three
46:48
Speaker 3: of them. It's actually four. Remember that guy with the
46:50
Speaker 3: truck and the bomb approaching Mar-a-Lago? So three and a half.
46:55
Speaker 3: The previous record, I think, was Gerald Ford. Two assassination
46:59
Speaker 3: attempts on Gerald Ford. But they got all kinds of
47:03
Speaker 3: new vehicles. They showed, you know, the Beast and all
47:06
Speaker 3: that stuff. And they got the cars that accompany the President.
47:09
Speaker 3: But they got this new thing. It looks like a tank,
47:13
Speaker 3: like four times the size of a normal tank. Incredible,
47:17
Speaker 3: frightening-looking military-type vehicle. Who knows what the hell goes on
47:20
Speaker 3: in there. And whenever she asked him, we don't discuss
47:26
Speaker 3: capabilities that this has. But apparently the big, big threat
47:30
Speaker 3: they're really worried about is drones. Now, a drone can
47:34
Speaker 3: fly overhead with an explosive. But the Ukraine-Russia war, Zelensky
47:40
Speaker 3: has been a genius at drone development. And they've come
47:43
Speaker 3: up with all kinds of advanced drones. They've come up
47:45
Speaker 3: with what they call swarms, where it could be 50
47:48
Speaker 3: drones at once. So it's interesting. Secret Service, this is
47:52
Speaker 3: the one thing they're preparing for, a drone strike against
47:55
Speaker 3: a president. So they've developed stuff. Special military drones that
48:00
Speaker 3: can go up there and capture a drone out of
48:03
Speaker 3: the sky. Now you don't want to just blow up
48:06
Speaker 3: the drone in the sky because it might contain explosives
48:09
Speaker 3: and that would rain down on everybody. So this drone
48:12
Speaker 3: that they have can go up there, shoot a projectile
48:15
Speaker 3: at the other drone, capture it in a net and
48:18
Speaker 3: bring it safely down to the ground. So that pretty impressive.
48:22
Speaker 3: But as they pointed out, there could be drone swarms
48:26
Speaker 3: where it might be a hundred drones at once. You
48:28
Speaker 3: can't capture them all. What are they doing about it?
48:32
Speaker 3: They're not sure yet. They're not sure. So that's the
48:34
Speaker 3: future of that stuff and warfare. So the other thing
48:38
Speaker 3: they do on 60 Minutes, you know, there was always
48:40
Speaker 3: supposed to be a celebrity profile. That was usually the
48:45
Speaker 3: last piece, you know, a look at some famous celebrity.
48:49
Speaker 3: The problem is nobody's famous anymore to everybody. Everything is
48:53
Speaker 3: so fragmented. Everything's so splintered. Like if we go over
48:58
Speaker 3: there across the hall to Power 105 and we take
49:01
Speaker 3: the three biggest artists they're playing, you won't know who
49:04
Speaker 3: they are. If you go to the oldie station and
49:08
Speaker 3: take the three biggest artists and bring them over there,
49:10
Speaker 3: they won't know who they are. Nobody knows who anybody
49:12
Speaker 3: else is. The final 60 minutes profile of the big celebrity,
49:18
Speaker 3: John Battista. John Battista, who was the band leader on Colbert.
49:23
Speaker 3: Colbert had like 1 million viewers. That's out of 300
49:27
Speaker 3: million in the country. They know who he is, but
49:30
Speaker 3: I guarantee you most of... It's an older audience watching
49:32
Speaker 3: 60 Minutes. Most of them had no idea who the
49:36
Speaker 3: hell this guy was or why we're watching a 10-minute
49:39
Speaker 3: piece on where he lives, where he's going, what he
49:42
Speaker 3: did last night. Who cares about all this? Anyway, we've
49:46
Speaker 3: got a lot to get to. We'll take some calls.
49:48
Speaker 3: Coming up, 800-321-0710 is the number.
49:49
Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
49:49
Speaker 3: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studio. Well,
50:05
Speaker 3: the rain has stopped. It's Columbus Day, the big parade today.
50:09
Speaker 3: There shouldn't be any more rain until Friday. You know
50:11
Speaker 3: it's going to be 80 degrees? 80 on Wednesday. Sunny
50:16
Speaker 3: and 80. Hey, we'll take some calls. We always love
50:18
Speaker 3: to have new callers. If you've never called us before,
50:21
Speaker 3: it's 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's go to Lauren in
50:26
Speaker 3: New Jersey. Lauren, how you doing?
50:29
Speaker 18: Hey, good morning. Happy Columbus Day to you and everyone.
50:33
Speaker 3: Thanks.
50:34
Speaker 19: You're welcome.
50:35
Speaker 18: So, yeah, I think the great thing about one of
50:38
Speaker 18: the great things about President Trump is that he's into
50:42
Speaker 18: substance and truth. And except for when Zelensky showed up
50:47
Speaker 18: at the meeting at the White House in his T-shirt,
50:51
Speaker 18: we don't care what people look like or how they dress.
50:54
Speaker 16: It's all about the substance.
50:55
Speaker 3: We don't? Yeah, no.
50:57
Speaker 1: We don't?
50:58
Speaker 3: Of course we do. You see Fetterman show up in shorts.
51:03
Speaker 3: In Congress, you think, what the hell is he dressed
51:05
Speaker 3: like that for? Don't you?
51:07
Speaker 18: Well, that's how he is, but.
51:11
Speaker 3: I know, but let's say it's your wedding and he
51:13
Speaker 3: shows up with the sneakers and the shorts and the baseball.
51:15
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you say, can't you get dressed up for my wedding?
51:19
Speaker 18: Well, that's different. That's a special event.
51:21
Speaker 20: Well, so is Congress.
51:22
Speaker 18: That's what he said.
51:25
Speaker 10: Well.
51:25
Speaker 18: Well, maybe he would change, but I don't think he'd
51:28
Speaker 18: be dictated to by President Trump. And Katie just happens
51:32
Speaker 18: to be a beautiful, highly intelligent woman. And it's really
51:36
Speaker 18: amazing how beautiful women just seem to be, I don't know,
51:41
Speaker 18: more representative in the constitutional republic, non-woke progressives.
51:47
Speaker 3: Well, that's a Trump thing. Trump likes people, as he
51:50
Speaker 3: would say, out of central casting. He likes a good-looking,
51:53
Speaker 3: beautiful spokesperson, unlike other presidents who have some pretty raggedy-looking
51:59
Speaker 3: spokespeople before. Although Trump started, the first spokesperson was Sean Spicer.
52:04
Speaker 3: And he was good, but he was like an establishment guy.
52:08
Speaker 3: But then he went with the beautiful blondes.
52:12
Speaker 18: Of course, because she was competent.
52:14
Speaker 16: Yeah.
52:15
Speaker 18: It did a great job.
52:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
52:17
Speaker 18: It wasn't just because she looked great.
52:19
Speaker 3: No, it's a tough job. You've got to be good
52:21
Speaker 3: at that. All right, Lauren, thanks for calling. Let's go
52:24
Speaker 3: to Simon in Brooklyn. Simon, how are you doing?
52:28
Speaker 1: How are you?
52:29
Speaker 20: I wanted to get your thoughts on Hochul trying to
52:31
Speaker 20: get the Jewish vote by putting out a statement three
52:34
Speaker 20: days ago that she backs the federal scholarship tax credit
52:38
Speaker 20: program now. which, you know, anybody could stand there and say, oh,
52:42
Speaker 20: I support this, support that, but our.
52:43
Speaker 3: Policies are just the opposite.
52:45
Speaker 2: I mean, who's she fooling over there?
52:47
Speaker 3: In her defense, listen, she's not that bright. She has
52:49
Speaker 3: an IQ maybe, what, 95? She's not that bright. She's
52:53
Speaker 3: a cunning politician, you know, years in politics, but not
52:56
Speaker 3: that bright. You know, Blakeman, he could talk about anything.
53:00
Speaker 3: He knows what he's talking about. But what you're talking about,
53:02
Speaker 3: the federal tax credit initiative, whatever the hell you said,
53:07
Speaker 3: she doesn't understand any of that. And if you're not
53:11
Speaker 3: that bright, it's tough to do what she's doing. She's
53:14
Speaker 3: like walking this tightrope between the left-wing socialist Mamdani crowd
53:19
Speaker 3: and normal people. And it's tough to do. You got
53:21
Speaker 3: to be really skilled to do that. She doesn't really
53:24
Speaker 3: have that kind of skill. Her whole life right now
53:26
Speaker 3: is just trying to get Mamdani not to turn on her.
53:30
Speaker 3: She wants the Mamdani voters to get elected governor. You
53:33
Speaker 3: have to win. 37% in New York. Some will say 35%,
53:39
Speaker 3: but she just wants to, if she's going to beat Blakeman,
53:43
Speaker 3: it's going to be in New York City. Blakeman easily
53:46
Speaker 3: wins the rest of New York State, but she's trying
53:47
Speaker 3: to get big turnout in New York City. So she's
53:51
Speaker 3: trying way too hard to appease the Mamdani crowd. It's
53:54
Speaker 3: not really her, but again, she's a weathervane, whatever way
53:58
Speaker 3: the wind is blowing. Let's go to Dennis in Howard Beach. Dennis,
54:01
Speaker 3: how you doing?
54:02
Speaker 2: Hey, Mark.
54:03
Speaker 13: First time in a long time. Well, listen, Mark, I'm
54:06
Speaker 13: starting to become a panicker.
54:08
Speaker 15: Yeah.
54:08
Speaker 13: I'm trying to think if they run a commercial of
54:11
Speaker 13: all the nonsense that the Democrats did, like the protests
54:14
Speaker 13: and charging the White House, the trans people.
54:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do run those.
54:20
Speaker 13: I could see more of them.
54:21
Speaker 3: Well, you're not going to see them. They run them,
54:23
Speaker 3: but they don't run them here. They run them where
54:25
Speaker 3: the races are, where competitive races are. If you live in.
54:28
Speaker 3: So you got to remember that if you're living in Ohio,
54:30
Speaker 3: if you're living in Texas, if you're living, you're seeing
54:32
Speaker 3: these commercials all the time. Hey, by the way, Elon
54:35
Speaker 3: Musk has jumped in with $ 275 million. He is putting
54:42
Speaker 3: that money into these campaigns right now, just for the midterms,
54:47
Speaker 3: $ 275 million. Now, of course, Republicans, they love it. And
54:51
Speaker 3: Democrats are yelling and screaming, this is horrifying, a billionaire
54:55
Speaker 3: pumping money into campaigns. Yeah. even though it's what they
54:58
Speaker 3: did for years with George Soros and a dozen other
55:01
Speaker 3: guys like that. But Republicans finally have a billionaire pumping
55:05
Speaker 3: money in, $ 275 million right now, just in these couple
55:10
Speaker 3: of months here for the midterms. Let's go to Al
55:12
Speaker 3: in Parsippany. Al, how you doing?
55:16
Speaker 12: Hello, Mr.
55:17
Speaker 19: Simone.
55:18
Speaker 3: Yes, Al. Okay.
55:21
Speaker 12: I heard on another station about your favorite dish. Well,
55:26
Speaker 12: if they asked me that, I would say Sophia Loren
55:32
Speaker 12: and Gina Lola Brigida.
55:34
Speaker 3: Well, Gina Lola Brigida is dead. Sophia Loren is like
55:39
Speaker 3: 95 and alive.
55:40
Speaker 12: Well, it doesn't matter because it's just a joke.
55:47
Speaker 16: Oh.
55:49
Speaker 3: Does anybody know what he's talking about?
55:50
Speaker 2: Does anybody know what he's talking about?
55:53
Speaker 3: Al, you sound like a nice guy. Not making much sense,
55:56
Speaker 3: but you sound like a nice guy. So what was
55:57
Speaker 3: the joke?
55:59
Speaker 12: They asked what your favorite dish was. And I said
56:04
Speaker 12: if I responded, I would say Sophia Loren and Gina
56:11
Speaker 12: Lola Bridge.
56:12
Speaker 3: Oh, I got it. Your favorite dish, and then you
56:13
Speaker 3: say Gina Lola Bridge. Well, that would be a very
56:16
Speaker 3: funny joke if this were... Ralph Cramden in 1954. First
56:20
Speaker 3: of all, there's nobody that knows.
56:21
Speaker 4: I know that.
56:22
Speaker 3: Nobody who knows who Gina Lola Bridget is anymore. And nobody,
56:25
Speaker 3: I hate to break it to you, knows who Sophia
56:27
Speaker 3: Loren is. And I hate to break it to you,
56:29
Speaker 3: but nobody knows that term, a dish, meaning a hot
56:33
Speaker 3: looking woman. That's something Ed Norton would say. Whoa, what
56:38
Speaker 3: a dish. It's, A little outdated, don't joke. But see
56:43
Speaker 3: if you can modernize that. Stick in some modern names. Yeah,
56:47
Speaker 3: Sophia Loren is still alive. It looks pretty good for.
56:53
Speaker 10: Mid-90s.
56:53
Speaker 3: I mean, she doesn't look like she used to look.
56:55
Speaker 3: But she doesn't look like the mother in the Golden
56:57
Speaker 3: Girls either. So she's doing pretty well. Hey, we got
57:00
Speaker 3: a lot coming up. We'll get to the greatest pollster
57:02
Speaker 3: in the world in the next hour. He'll give us
57:04
Speaker 3: the real numbers. And when we come back, we'll talk
57:07
Speaker 3: to the greatest columnist in America today. Michael Goodwin. We'll
57:11
Speaker 3: talk to him next on 710WOR.
57:15
Speaker 1: Marks them all, Mr.
57:16
Speaker 3: New York.
57:17
Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
57:25
Speaker 3: Well, the best columnist in America is Michael Goodwin. You
57:28
Speaker 3: can read him every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New
57:32
Speaker 3: York Post. All of his columns are up on the
57:34
Speaker 3: New York Post website. Michael Goodwin, how are you doing?
57:38
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. Thank you.
57:40
Speaker 3: Mayor Mamdani, listen, we know he doesn't like Israel. Not
57:45
Speaker 3: crazy about the Jews, but apparently he doesn't like the
57:47
Speaker 3: Italians either. He's now snubbing his third Columbus Day parade
57:51
Speaker 3: this weekend today. But maybe that's a good thing. Do
57:55
Speaker 3: we really want him in the Columbus Day parade?
57:58
Speaker 8: Well, I do think there is a pattern here, of course, Mark.
58:03
Speaker 8: And he snubbed the Israel Day parade and this one now.
58:10
Speaker 8: To me, the pattern is that he really is just
58:15
Speaker 8: preaching to the converted all the time. He's not really
58:20
Speaker 8: trying to build bridges or carry out the normal civic
58:24
Speaker 8: duties of a mayor. He's just all politics all the time,
58:30
Speaker 8: all agenda all the time. He wants ICE to let
58:35
Speaker 8: the criminals run in the streets. He wants the NYPD out.
58:39
Speaker 8: not to arrest the bad guys as they happened before
58:43
Speaker 8: and born, apparently. So I think that there's just a
58:47
Speaker 8: huge mistake that he's making in terms of his mayoralty.
58:52
Speaker 8: I mean, I really don't see how he can succeed
58:56
Speaker 8: this way by kicking off, you know, one group at
59:00
Speaker 8: a time in this, as David Dinkins used to call it,
59:04
Speaker 8: this gorgeous mosaic, right?
59:07
Speaker 2: Others think of it as the melting pot.
59:09
Speaker 9: But.
59:10
Speaker 8: Mamdani seems to have no love in his heart for
59:13
Speaker 8: New York.
59:14
Speaker 3: Hey, you've been covering politics for a long time. Did
59:17
Speaker 3: you ever think you'd see a guy like this who
59:19
Speaker 3: was just a slick talker with a big smile with
59:22
Speaker 3: absolutely no experience of any kind, no real skill, just
59:26
Speaker 3: getting himself into Gracie Manchin?
59:29
Speaker 15: Right.
59:30
Speaker 8: No, that's a good way to put it because normally
59:34
Speaker 8: we think of as a mayor, you know, tries to
59:37
Speaker 8: react to problems, right? Who sees something in addition to
59:42
Speaker 8: having a vision for projects or whatever. But we think
59:48
Speaker 8: of a mayor as someone who reacts. So whether it's
59:52
Speaker 8: a midnight fire or, you know, a triple homicide case,
59:58
Speaker 8: the mayor would often go to the scene or you
1:00:02
Speaker 8: would have representatives.
1:00:03
Speaker 2: Of the mayor. And that's not Mamdani.
1:00:07
Speaker 8: He's not really engaged in that kind of role of
1:00:13
Speaker 8: the job that we have become used to, whether it was,
1:00:17
Speaker 8: you know, in modern times. I mean, Ed Koch, even
1:00:22
Speaker 8: David Dinkins would go to police shootings. Rudy Giuliani, of course.
1:00:28
Speaker 8: I mean, Michael Bloomberg. I mean, they set the tone
1:00:32
Speaker 8: for responding in a way that showed they cared. And
1:00:37
Speaker 8: they saw a problem. They cared enough to show up
1:00:41
Speaker 8: in the middle of the night or whatever day and
1:00:44
Speaker 8: time it was to be on the site. That was
1:00:48
Speaker 8: important to be there. Mamdani doesn't feel that way. He
1:00:52
Speaker 8: goes to Marble Hill at midnight.
1:00:55
Speaker 2: But what does he do? He condemns law enforcement. He
1:00:59
Speaker 2: says that.
1:01:00
Speaker 8: This is an outrage and that he uses his avenue
1:01:05
Speaker 8: to the president and to the governor to express outrage
1:01:09
Speaker 8: at those who would tackle the violence and instead accuse
1:01:14
Speaker 8: them of causing violence. And the criminal is now the
1:01:19
Speaker 8: innocent New Yorker. Yeah.
1:01:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know where this is all going to go.
1:01:24
Speaker 3: The other thing is the anti-Semitism and the fact that
1:01:28
Speaker 3: they all get away with the word genocide when applying
1:01:31
Speaker 3: it to Israel. It's obscene.
1:01:35
Speaker 2: It's obscene.
1:01:35
Speaker 3: It's obscene. How did they even get away with this?
1:01:38
Speaker 3: Where's the media to criticize them for it?
1:01:42
Speaker 8: Well, it's, you know, ignorance compounded by hatred. I mean,
1:01:48
Speaker 8: they don't understand the definition of the word even, but
1:01:53
Speaker 8: they throw it around because it's a catchy phrase for
1:01:57
Speaker 8: the crazy kids in that cafe, right? And it just
1:02:02
Speaker 8: makes no sense in logic or facts, but that doesn't
1:02:07
Speaker 8: matter to them. They have an agenda. And that's what
1:02:11
Speaker 8: I think, Mark, it's very different about this mayor from
1:02:14
Speaker 8: any other mayor. He doesn't give ground. to the duties
1:02:19
Speaker 8: of the mayor, one of which is, of course, to
1:02:22
Speaker 8: represent all 8 million New Yorkers, not just the ones
1:02:27
Speaker 8: you like, not just the ones who are like you.
1:02:30
Speaker 8: That's why you've got to show up for things like parades.
1:02:34
Speaker 8: People care about that. People want to see you on
1:02:37
Speaker 8: the day that they are celebrating something about their history,
1:02:42
Speaker 8: their ethnicity, anything else. He doesn't show up because he
1:02:48
Speaker 8: doesn't care about how you feel about your issues. He
1:02:53
Speaker 8: only cares about how he feels and how is, as
1:02:57
Speaker 8: I say, the Pied Piper of the socialist rats.
1:03:02
Speaker 3: So if you're a socialist, if you hate billionaires, if
1:03:05
Speaker 3: you hate hedge funds, if you hate the Wall Street community,
1:03:08
Speaker 3: why are you in New York? What are you even
1:03:10
Speaker 3: doing here? It's like if you hate hotels, don't go
1:03:12
Speaker 3: be the mayor of Las Vegas. I mean, that's the
1:03:14
Speaker 3: main thing there. Why is he even here? Why doesn't
1:03:18
Speaker 3: he go somewhere where they're, you know, what he likes?
1:03:22
Speaker 2: And it's also a matter of ignorance, right?
1:03:25
Speaker 8: That if you don't understand, you're mayor, and you don't
1:03:29
Speaker 8: understand how important the wealthy are to New York. I mean,
1:03:35
Speaker 8: forget the taxes they pay. The philanthropy.
1:03:40
Speaker 2: You think poor people give away their money?
1:03:42
Speaker 12: No.
1:03:43
Speaker 8: Only millionaires and billionaires build these hospitals and libraries and
1:03:50
Speaker 8: all kinds of things. And so for him not to
1:03:54
Speaker 8: understand and appreciate how they are helping him make New
1:04:00
Speaker 8: York better and more attractive, and yet he scorns them
1:04:05
Speaker 8: as though somehow they are like lepers who have to
1:04:08
Speaker 8: be avoided.
1:04:09
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:04:11
Speaker 3: Hey, Letitia James had one debate. She was awful in
1:04:14
Speaker 3: the debate. She just got clobbered by that opponent. The
1:04:17
Speaker 3: problem is nobody saw it. It's on New York One.
1:04:20
Speaker 3: So tomorrow night is the Hochul-Blakeman debate. Do you think
1:04:25
Speaker 3: anybody will see that? Do you think it will have
1:04:26
Speaker 3: any effect on the race?
1:04:29
Speaker 8: Well, you know, debates generally only have an effect when
1:04:33
Speaker 8: one candidate screws up. Now, I don't think we've ever
1:04:37
Speaker 8: seen anything quite like Joe Biden's. right, when the debate
1:04:42
Speaker 8: with Donald Trump in 24. But we have seen other
1:04:46
Speaker 8: mistakes that candidates make that can swing the vote. But
1:04:51
Speaker 8: that one was the most dramatic of all. It basically
1:04:54
Speaker 8: drove Biden out of the campaign. But look, I think
1:04:58
Speaker 8: unless there is a real screw-up on one candidate or another,
1:05:04
Speaker 8: I think it's more likely to have a marginal effect
1:05:07
Speaker 8: a very small effect on the race itself. Yeah.
1:05:12
Speaker 3: Although Blakeman's a hell of a campaigner. He's done very
1:05:15
Speaker 3: well here. He's gotten the numbers closer and closer. You
1:05:18
Speaker 3: think deep down that the polls are not even measuring
1:05:22
Speaker 3: how people just don't feel safe with Kathy Hochul, despite
1:05:26
Speaker 3: anything the polls say. More people will go for Blakeman
1:05:29
Speaker 3: than they're measuring?
1:05:32
Speaker 2: I hope that's right, Mike.
1:05:34
Speaker 8: What I fear is that This is what life is
1:05:38
Speaker 8: like in a deep blue state where there is no
1:05:42
Speaker 8: argument that breaks through to those who are sort of
1:05:47
Speaker 8: just going to vote even for, as someone once said,
1:05:52
Speaker 8: if there were a dead raccoon on the D line, right,
1:05:56
Speaker 8: people would vote for it. I mean, that's just a
1:05:59
Speaker 8: problem of habits and of party affiliation that is not
1:06:05
Speaker 8: open to to ideas or different ways of doing things.
1:06:10
Speaker 8: And that's what I feel New York is in. As
1:06:13
Speaker 8: we all know, it's been since 2002 when George Pataki
1:06:19
Speaker 8: won his third term as governor. That was the last
1:06:23
Speaker 8: time a Republican won a statewide race in New York.
1:06:29
Speaker 8: So U.S. senators, Comptroller, Attorney General, governor, right? So we're
1:06:38
Speaker 8: due for a change of pace, if only to shake
1:06:42
Speaker 8: things up and try some new ideas.
1:06:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:06:46
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the Democrats have gone so far to the left.
1:06:49
Speaker 3: And we've never seen anything like this before, the anti-Semitism,
1:06:53
Speaker 3: a mayor that actually hates a group of people in
1:06:56
Speaker 3: New York. We've never seen anything like that, have we?
1:06:58
Speaker 3: I agree.
1:06:59
Speaker 2: It's unique, certainly in my lifetime.
1:07:02
Speaker 8: And I've, you know, covered a lot of mayors and
1:07:05
Speaker 8: studied them and have a pretty good sense of what
1:07:09
Speaker 8: worked and what didn't work. I don't see how this
1:07:12
Speaker 8: can work unless the city has lost its mind as
1:07:16
Speaker 8: well as its soul.
1:07:19
Speaker 3: Well, how much longer? Two and a half years?
1:07:24
Speaker 2: Three, right? Three plus four, yeah.
1:07:28
Speaker 9: Right.
1:07:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not through the first year yet.
1:07:31
Speaker 3: Oh, you're right. You're right. What am I saying? It's
1:07:34
Speaker 3: three and a half, almost four years. And then, of course,
1:07:36
Speaker 3: you move on to MSNBC where he'll have his own
1:07:40
Speaker 3: show and do much better there. Well, Michael Goodwin, great stuff.
1:07:45
Speaker 3: You can read his column in the New York Post,
1:07:46
Speaker 3: yesterday's column. Next one is Wednesday. All his columns are
1:07:50
Speaker 3: up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin, thanks
1:07:53
Speaker 3: for being with us.
1:07:55
Speaker 2: My pleasure. Thank you, Mark.
1:07:56
Speaker 3: Take care. We got a lot coming up in the
1:07:59
Speaker 3: next hour. John McLaughlin, the best pollster in the world.
1:08:02
Speaker 3: Where does it really stand? The governor's race, the midterms
1:08:05
Speaker 3: will get you the real numbers coming up in the
1:08:07
Speaker 3: next hour. A lot more just ahead. Don't forget at noon,
1:08:10
Speaker 3: Buck Saxton and Clay Travis. That is a great show.
1:08:13
Speaker 3: Two hosts for the price of one. Three o'clock, you
1:08:16
Speaker 3: got the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity. Actually,
1:08:20
Speaker 3: I'll be filling in for Sean today. And I think
1:08:23
Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman will be on with us on the show today, too.
1:08:26
Speaker 3: And then 6 o'clock, he got the great Jesse Kelly.
1:08:29
Speaker 3: 9 o'clock, he got the very funny Jimmy Fallon. Every night,
1:08:33
Speaker 3: 9 to midnight on 710WOR. Mark Simone.
1:08:38
Speaker 2: Mr.
1:08:39
Speaker 1: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
1:08:43
Speaker 1: noon on 710WOR.
1:08:49
Speaker 3: Speaking of that, the crazy Mom Donnie, as we've been saying,
1:08:52
Speaker 3: may have gone too far. On October 7th, with that
1:08:58
Speaker 3: ridiculous attack on... Israel. On October 7th, third anniversary of
1:09:03
Speaker 3: the Holocaust against Israel, just the horrible, horrible attack from Hamas,
1:09:09
Speaker 3: the ugly attack on Israel on that day. Even Bill
1:09:12
Speaker 3: Maher now, coming out against Mamdani. There were a lot
1:09:15
Speaker 3: of people, especially Democrats, who would defend Mamdani, saying, you know,
1:09:20
Speaker 3: It's unfair to throw around anti-Semitism. He's anti-Israel, but he's
1:09:23
Speaker 3: not anti-Semitic. They would do that. They all stopped doing
1:09:26
Speaker 3: that after what Mamdani posted on October 7th. Even Bill Maher,
1:09:31
Speaker 3: now going after him, saying he's just totally tone deaf,
1:09:35
Speaker 3: really doesn't get it. What he did on October 7th
1:09:39
Speaker 3: was disgusting. He put up this awful anti-Semitic tweet that
1:09:43
Speaker 3: was just horrible. And then to top it off, going
1:09:46
Speaker 3: to the Palestinian restaurant for dinner that night just to
1:09:50
Speaker 3: Rub it in Israel's face. So he's lost a lot
1:09:52
Speaker 3: of Democrats with that. Hey, the rain has stopped. It's
1:09:56
Speaker 3: going to be a nice day today. It's going to
1:09:57
Speaker 3: be 72, mostly sunny. That's perfect for the parade. Columbus
1:10:02
Speaker 3: Day parade today, Fifth Avenue. So don't think I drive
1:10:05
Speaker 3: in anywhere around midtown Manhattan. It's going to be a
1:10:09
Speaker 3: traffic mess because of the parade, but it'll be a
1:10:11
Speaker 3: great parade. Columbus Day parade today. Mamdani boycotting it, snubbing it,
1:10:16
Speaker 3: refusing to show up for it. Hey, the rest of
1:10:18
Speaker 3: the week looks pretty good. 74 tomorrow. Look at this. Wednesday, 82.
1:10:23
Speaker 3: 82 on Wednesday. Then it goes back into the 60s
1:10:28
Speaker 3: for Thursday and Friday. Then it goes into the 50s. Yeah,
1:10:34
Speaker 3: Saturday the high will only be 52. If you go
1:10:37
Speaker 3: out now, right, it's a cool crisp. It's a fall
1:10:40
Speaker 3: day out there. And then back into the mid-60s for
1:10:43
Speaker 3: a while. All right, not bad. There's this long-range forecasting.
1:10:48
Speaker 3: from real weather sources, not the stupid farmer's almanac that
1:10:51
Speaker 3: shows an El Nino condition that will mean a lot
1:10:55
Speaker 3: less snow this winter. Should be a pretty good winter,
1:10:59
Speaker 3: not a lot of snow, if that forecast is correct.
1:11:02
Speaker 3: So we've got a lot to get to in the
1:11:04
Speaker 3: next hour. We'll talk to the best pollster of all,
1:11:06
Speaker 3: get the real numbers, and more coming up on 710WOR.
1:11:12
Speaker 1: Mark Simone on 710WOR.
1:11:17
Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's Columbus Day, the parade beginning underway. Turned
1:11:21
Speaker 3: out it's going to be a nice day for the parade.
1:11:23
Speaker 3: Fifth Avenue will be a beautiful parade, even better that
1:11:26
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie's not going to be there. This will be
1:11:28
Speaker 3: a happier parade. These left-wingers, you know, they hate Columbus.
1:11:35
Speaker 3: They want to tear down the statues of Christopher Columbus.
1:11:38
Speaker 3: I don't know why they would hate Columbus so much.
1:11:40
Speaker 3: He was He was the first illegal migrant in the
1:11:43
Speaker 3: United States. He was here illegally, so they should love
1:11:46
Speaker 3: the guy, you would think. Kimberly Guilfoyle. Well, this is
1:11:54
Speaker 3: not a good situation. Kimberly Guilfoyle, formerly engaged to Donald
1:11:58
Speaker 3: Trump Jr., formerly one of the co-hosts of The Five
1:12:02
Speaker 3: on Fox News. Kimberly Guilfoyle, a friend of ours. She's
1:12:07
Speaker 3: been on this show a lot and through the years.
1:12:13
Speaker 3: It doesn't look good, these accusations. In fact, President Trump
1:12:18
Speaker 3: and Secretary of State Rubio, her two bosses, are meeting
1:12:22
Speaker 3: and discussing whether or not to get rid of her.
1:12:26
Speaker 3: Reports are she may soon be fired. They don't like
1:12:30
Speaker 3: her answers. Now, remember, there have been earlier accusations of
1:12:35
Speaker 3: things going on in Greece. It's very unusual for an
1:12:38
Speaker 3: ambassador to get fired. But the earlier allegations were that
1:12:45
Speaker 3: while in Greece as ambassador, she was helping out a
1:12:48
Speaker 3: construction company. Their lobbyist was accompanying her to events. You know,
1:12:55
Speaker 3: this happens whenever politicians and contractors get together. You know
1:13:01
Speaker 3: what happens. Money changes hands. Things change. And any time
1:13:06
Speaker 3: a politician is around a lobbyist, a lobbyist wins over
1:13:10
Speaker 3: politicians by giving you whatever the hell you want. Money, women, whatever.
1:13:15
Speaker 3: That's how they operate. So this doesn't look good, these
1:13:17
Speaker 3: earlier allegations. So the latest is that she ran up
1:13:23
Speaker 3: a lot of credit card debt, apparently owed $ 100, 000 on
1:13:27
Speaker 3: her American Express bill. And there's a big Republican donor
1:13:31
Speaker 3: who she was very friendly with. And she asked the
1:13:35
Speaker 3: guy to pay off her American Express bill. He balked
1:13:38
Speaker 3: at this. And the accusation is that she said to him,
1:13:43
Speaker 3: you know, you could just wire the money to American Express.
1:13:46
Speaker 3: There doesn't have to be any link between you and me.
1:13:49
Speaker 3: No paper trail. Just wire the money directly to American Express.
1:13:54
Speaker 3: And he didn't want to do that. Now, at one point,
1:13:56
Speaker 3: he said, if I do that, my wife will leave me. Now,
1:14:00
Speaker 3: what does that mean? That the wife suspects an affair?
1:14:04
Speaker 3: Or that the wife doesn't want him wasting money paying
1:14:06
Speaker 3: her American Express bill? Well, who knows? Now, the problem is,
1:14:12
Speaker 3: if you ask Kimberly Guilfoyle about this allegation, she says,
1:14:17
Speaker 3: and this has happened with a few people, she said,
1:14:21
Speaker 3: the money was never sent to American Express. The money
1:14:23
Speaker 3: was never paid. Okay, but she doesn't, ever say i
1:14:28
Speaker 3: never asked him for it the problem would be if
1:14:31
Speaker 3: she asked for it if she tried to shake down
1:14:34
Speaker 3: the donor if that's true that's the problem so in
1:14:37
Speaker 3: these uh denials she just denies that the money was
1:14:39
Speaker 3: ever sent she doesn't deny asking for it so we
1:14:44
Speaker 3: don't really know what happened but she doesn't deny it
1:14:46
Speaker 3: in her answers that's the problem the donor's a little
1:14:49
Speaker 3: slightly wacky but the uh I would have no reason
1:14:54
Speaker 3: to come forward and make all these crazy statements. So
1:14:56
Speaker 3: apparently in the White House, Rubio and President Trump are
1:15:01
Speaker 3: extremely bothered by this, extremely upset by it, and they
1:15:04
Speaker 3: are weighing her removal right now. So that would be very,
1:15:09
Speaker 3: very unusual to remove an ambassador like that. But it's
1:15:14
Speaker 3: not the first time. They're getting these other allegations of
1:15:18
Speaker 3: her doing favors for local companies and lobbyists and getting
1:15:21
Speaker 3: tangled up with that. You know, normally you have to
1:15:24
Speaker 3: have a lot of money to be the ambassador because
1:15:27
Speaker 3: you have to spend all your own money. When you're
1:15:30
Speaker 3: the ambassador to a big country, you go over there,
1:15:34
Speaker 3: you generally have to spend a fortune fixing up the embassy.
1:15:37
Speaker 3: You got to buy your own furniture, your own this,
1:15:39
Speaker 3: your own that, and you fix up the embassy. Then
1:15:42
Speaker 3: main job of an ambassador is throw these big parties
1:15:45
Speaker 3: and everything. Well, you got to pay for them yourself.
1:15:47
Speaker 3: I know people have been offered ambassadorships and turn it down.
1:15:51
Speaker 3: They don't want to spend two, three million dollars. in
1:15:53
Speaker 3: another country, be an ambassador saying a lot of guys
1:15:55
Speaker 3: don't mind. It's a big, a big thrill for them. So, um,
1:16:00
Speaker 3: she apparently obviously doesn't have a lot of money to
1:16:03
Speaker 3: throw around, but, um, you could also, if you did
1:16:07
Speaker 3: it the other way, you could make a lot of
1:16:08
Speaker 3: money as ambassador. So we'll see if, uh, if she's removed,
1:16:13
Speaker 3: it could happen. If it's going to happen, it could
1:16:15
Speaker 3: happen pretty soon. So, um, These DSA idiots, the democratic socialists,
1:16:23
Speaker 3: they're demanding all kinds of things. Now they're demanding that
1:16:26
Speaker 3: Letitia James be fired. Not Letitia James, excuse me. Jessica Tisch.
1:16:32
Speaker 3: Jessica Tisch. They're demanding police commissioner Jessica Tisch be fired.
1:16:38
Speaker 3: They're not going to succeed with that, but they're demanding it.
1:16:43
Speaker 2: Why?
1:16:44
Speaker 3: Well, cause apparently she didn't stop ice. I don't know
1:16:46
Speaker 3: what she could do to, there's nothing you can do
1:16:48
Speaker 3: to stop them. Federal law supersedes local law. If ice
1:16:52
Speaker 3: comes in, you can't stop them. Federal law enforcement has
1:16:56
Speaker 3: authority over local law enforcement. So, uh, it could be
1:17:01
Speaker 3: other things. It could be just the general antisemitism of
1:17:04
Speaker 3: the democratic socialists. They don't want a Jewish police commissioner. Uh,
1:17:09
Speaker 3: one of them, uh, You know this one they all love,
1:17:13
Speaker 3: Avila Chevalier, left-wing kook. She's on with Hassan Piker, another
1:17:19
Speaker 3: left-wing kook. And somebody points out to her that this
1:17:22
Speaker 3: illegal that I shot is a very bad guy. He's
1:17:28
Speaker 3: a career criminal. He's got all kinds of terrible things
1:17:32
Speaker 3: on his rap sheet, robbery, all sorts of stuff.
1:17:36
Speaker 10: And.
1:17:37
Speaker 3: His neighbors now saying he was a maniac. He would
1:17:40
Speaker 3: run around menacing everybody, often carrying a machete. This is
1:17:45
Speaker 3: a really bad guy that they were trying to get
1:17:48
Speaker 3: out of the country. So they brought all this up
1:17:51
Speaker 3: to this Chevalier, this crazy democratic socialist. And she's yelling,
1:17:56
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter about his criminal record.
1:18:00
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter to her. She said, I'm still as angry
1:18:04
Speaker 3: as can be. Doesn't matter if he's a gang member.
1:18:07
Speaker 3: So this is the way they think. There's nothing you
1:18:09
Speaker 3: can do about it. It doesn't matter that he's got
1:18:11
Speaker 3: a rap sheet. He's a criminal. It doesn't matter that
1:18:14
Speaker 3: he's a gang member. Over and over again, she said
1:18:16
Speaker 3: to Piker, to me, it doesn't matter. He needs to
1:18:19
Speaker 3: be released. And that was the problem with Mamdani calling
1:18:23
Speaker 3: Trump that night. He was on the phone with Homeland
1:18:27
Speaker 3: Security for two hours. He was on the phone with
1:18:30
Speaker 3: Trump for two minutes. But he demanded they release the guy.
1:18:34
Speaker 3: And apparently at some point Trump said, you know what, we'll– OK,
1:18:38
Speaker 3: we'll release him and you keep him in NYPD custody.
1:18:42
Speaker 3: And Mamdani said, that's not what I mean. I want
1:18:44
Speaker 3: him released, released, like back out on the streets. So,
1:18:49
Speaker 3: of course, President Trump absolutely would not do that. Absolutely not. Hey,
1:18:55
Speaker 3: you know, remember Happy Days? Happy Days, Richie Cunningham, that was,
1:19:01
Speaker 3: what's his, Ron Howard, who went on to become a
1:19:03
Speaker 3: huge director. Fonzie was, what's Fonzie's name? I'm blanking out.
1:19:10
Speaker 3: Henry Winkler. Henry Winkler, of course, went on to, he's
1:19:13
Speaker 3: a very, very good actor. He's done a lot of
1:19:15
Speaker 3: other acting, and he wrote a very good book in
1:19:18
Speaker 3: the last few years. And then there was Anson Williams.
1:19:23
Speaker 3: Who was he? He wasn't Pazzi. He was the other guy.
1:19:26
Speaker 3: You know Anson Williams. He was a big part of
1:19:29
Speaker 3: Happy Days. Did very well there. And so now he's
1:19:35
Speaker 3: talking publicly about how He was forced to create a
1:19:39
Speaker 3: second career because sitcoms don't pay enough. But see, the
1:19:45
Speaker 3: problem is when you see people that are on sitcoms,
1:19:47
Speaker 3: there were big stars on anything from Seinfeld to the
1:19:51
Speaker 3: Dick Van Dyke show to Cheers to whatever, big stars.
1:19:54
Speaker 3: There were big cast members. They got a lot of
1:19:57
Speaker 3: money to be on these shows, a lot of money,
1:19:59
Speaker 3: but they don't get the royalties. They don't get the residuals.
1:20:04
Speaker 3: So the show could run forever, you know, Even that
1:20:07
Speaker 3: old Dick Van Dyke show, whatever they said, it's running
1:20:11
Speaker 3: for a million years. And if you created it, all
1:20:15
Speaker 3: the money goes to whoever created it and owns the show.
1:20:17
Speaker 3: They get the residuals, they get the royalties. It's part
1:20:20
Speaker 3: of the deal. The actors get paid a nice big salary,
1:20:23
Speaker 3: but they don't get royalties. So if it's 30, 40
1:20:26
Speaker 3: years later, they're still running Happy Days. Anson Williams isn't
1:20:29
Speaker 3: getting anything. So he's 77 now. This is what he's
1:20:32
Speaker 3: griping about, that he was forced to have another career
1:20:35
Speaker 3: as a singer. But on the other hand, This is crazy,
1:20:39
Speaker 3: spoiled Hollywood people. What person in the world gets paid
1:20:43
Speaker 3: for the rest of their life from whatever job they
1:20:45
Speaker 3: had in the 70s? If you had a job from
1:20:47
Speaker 3: 19—when was Happy Days on? 75 to 82? If you
1:20:52
Speaker 3: had a job back then, why would it still be
1:20:55
Speaker 3: paying you today? Once the job's over, you got to
1:20:58
Speaker 3: go make more money doing something else. So the idea
1:21:01
Speaker 3: that they think that they should get paid forever— Now,
1:21:06
Speaker 3: of course, the argument in their defense is it's still
1:21:08
Speaker 3: making money, that it's all over television. They're still rerunning
1:21:13
Speaker 3: it everywhere, so why should the creator get the money
1:21:17
Speaker 3: but not... Oh, that was the deal you signed. It
1:21:20
Speaker 3: was Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld that created Seinfeld, so
1:21:24
Speaker 3: they get royalties forever. And the company that owns it,
1:21:28
Speaker 3: Castle Rock, they get royalties forever. The deal with the
1:21:31
Speaker 3: actors was... You get paid a salary. It's a big
1:21:34
Speaker 3: salary every week. They made millions doing it. But you
1:21:38
Speaker 3: have no ownership of it. That's the deal. So that's
1:21:43
Speaker 3: the deal you sign. And, you know, I think the
1:21:46
Speaker 3: idea is when you're a big star in that sitcom
1:21:49
Speaker 3: and it puts you on the map, you're then supposed
1:21:51
Speaker 3: to get other stuff after that. You're not supposed to
1:21:54
Speaker 3: just sit back and rely on that for the rest
1:21:57
Speaker 3: of your life. Ron Howard goes out and becomes a
1:22:00
Speaker 3: huge director. Look at the George Clooney, he was on ER, remember?
1:22:06
Speaker 3: He doesn't get any residuals for that. But he went
1:22:09
Speaker 3: on to have a huge career. You got to have
1:22:10
Speaker 3: a career and do something else. You know who got,
1:22:12
Speaker 3: the only one that got royalties of all the old
1:22:15
Speaker 3: sitcom stars? Audrey Meadows. In 1954, when they decided to
1:22:22
Speaker 3: do The Honeymooners and film them, instead of just doing
1:22:26
Speaker 3: them live, she demanded royalties, residuals, forever. Now, it was
1:22:31
Speaker 3: unheard of at the time. And believe it or not,
1:22:34
Speaker 3: in 1954, there was no such thing as rerunning old sitcoms.
1:22:38
Speaker 3: That practice didn't exist yet. So they didn't know why
1:22:42
Speaker 3: the hell she would want this. She had an agent.
1:22:45
Speaker 3: What was his name? Irvin Arthur. Irvin Arthur. Never trust
1:22:50
Speaker 3: a guy with two first names, but he was a
1:22:52
Speaker 3: good guy. But he demanded the residuals, the royalties. They
1:22:55
Speaker 3: didn't know what the hell anybody would want that for,
1:22:57
Speaker 3: so they gave it to her. And she was the
1:23:00
Speaker 3: only one who got a fortune from Not even Jackie
1:23:03
Speaker 3: Gleason got royalties on all that stuff. Somebody else owned
1:23:06
Speaker 3: it all. So it was pretty good. Hey, Bill Maher
1:23:09
Speaker 3: going after Cornell and actually saying they should get rid
1:23:13
Speaker 3: of fraternities. After the Cornell 7, get rid of fraternities.
1:23:20
Speaker 3: He makes the case that any place that's all male
1:23:25
Speaker 3: is not going to function without depravity, just ask the
1:23:28
Speaker 3: Catholic Church. He said, anything that's inherently all men, it's
1:23:33
Speaker 3: going to get worse. You put men together in a fraternity.
1:23:37
Speaker 3: It's not men, really. It's like 18, 19, 20-year-olds. They're
1:23:40
Speaker 3: just kids. He said, it's just a recipe for disaster.
1:23:44
Speaker 3: He may have a point there. You know, a fraternity,
1:23:47
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe in the 1950s, it was Ricky
1:23:50
Speaker 3: Nelson and barbershop quartets in the fraternity. But in 2026,
1:23:56
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys in a fraternity It's just a
1:24:00
Speaker 3: recipe for disaster. Bill Maher saying, I'm not pulling any
1:24:05
Speaker 3: punches just because I went to Cornell. Yeah, he went
1:24:08
Speaker 3: to Cornell, you know. A lot of people have to
1:24:10
Speaker 3: be careful now and don't want to admit they went
1:24:13
Speaker 3: to Cornell. Hey, the news came this morning. Ilhan Omar's
1:24:17
Speaker 3: house has been raided. Department of Justice, Homeland Security, they
1:24:22
Speaker 3: have raided her house looking for her papers, her documents.
1:24:26
Speaker 3: It's believed she.
1:24:29
Speaker 3: Got here illegally, lied on an immigration paperwork. So a
1:24:34
Speaker 3: raid took place this morning. A nice raid, not like
1:24:37
Speaker 3: a Jack Smith raid where they had machine guns and
1:24:43
Speaker 3: orders to use deadly force if necessary. None of that. So, hey,
1:24:47
Speaker 3: Crazy Mom Donnie wants the NYPD to use, review its
1:24:52
Speaker 3: use of force policies. He wants changes. This is not
1:24:57
Speaker 3: going to be good. Now, the good news with him, again,
1:24:59
Speaker 3: he's mostly just talk. He never actually gets anything done,
1:25:02
Speaker 3: but we'll see. Hey, we'll take some calls next. If
1:25:06
Speaker 3: you're a new caller, we'd love to hear from you.
1:25:07
Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 is the number.
1:25:08
Speaker 8: 800-321-0710.
1:25:08
Speaker 3: More Mark.
1:25:09
Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
1:25:09
Speaker 10: Mr. New York.
1:25:10
Speaker 3: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
1:25:11
Speaker 19: Com.
1:25:28
Speaker 3: All right, let's take some calls. Let's go to Larry
1:25:31
Speaker 3: in Cranford, New Jersey. Larry, how you doing?
1:25:35
Speaker 19: Hey, Mark.
1:25:36
Speaker 9: Hi.
1:25:36
Speaker 19: You must remember it was a year, year and a
1:25:38
Speaker 19: half ago when Elise Stefanik grilled Kathy Hochul, and Hochul
1:25:43
Speaker 19: was stupefied. You remember that?
1:25:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, back in those congressional hearings.
1:25:48
Speaker 19: Why aren't the Republicans using that footage for campaign ads?
1:25:54
Speaker 19: They are crazy for not using them.
1:25:56
Speaker 3: I don't know if they might be using them, but
1:25:58
Speaker 3: if they do, they'll be using them upstate. They won't
1:25:59
Speaker 3: be using them in the city.
1:26:02
Speaker 14: They should use it all over.
1:26:03
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't work that way. You waste a lot
1:26:06
Speaker 3: of money that way. You've got to target the ads. Remember,
1:26:10
Speaker 3: it's not just New York City. You're running ads in
1:26:13
Speaker 3: Buffalo for a Buffalo audience. You're running ads in Syracuse
1:26:16
Speaker 3: for a Syracuse audience. Albany, they've got their own TV stations.
1:26:20
Speaker 3: The stations here in New York, only seen around the
1:26:23
Speaker 3: New York City area. Let's go to Greg in Jersey City. Greg,
1:26:27
Speaker 3: how you doing?
1:26:29
Speaker 9: Good. It's interesting how residuals.
1:26:33
Speaker 3: Greg, you got to be within 6,000 feet of the phone.
1:26:36
Speaker 3: You're like 500 miles from the phone. Nobody can hear
1:26:39
Speaker 3: a word you say.
1:26:40
Speaker 16: You can't hear me?
1:26:41
Speaker 3: Now we can hear you. What were you doing before?
1:26:43
Speaker 16: I don't know.
1:26:45
Speaker 2: Huh.
1:26:46
Speaker 4: Look at this.
1:26:47
Speaker 3: He's going to try to convince us that nothing changed. Obviously,
1:26:50
Speaker 3: you weren't on the phone before.
1:26:53
Speaker 4: All right, fine.
1:26:54
Speaker 9: Residuals and how they've changed over the years. I did
1:26:58
Speaker 9: hear what Anson Williams was talking about. But you think
1:27:01
Speaker 9: about some of the stars like James Garner or Jack
1:27:04
Speaker 9: Klugman or even Eric Estrada who had to sue their
1:27:08
Speaker 9: studio in order to get the residuals they were promised.
1:27:12
Speaker 3: Well, you've got to remember, it's different for everybody. If
1:27:14
Speaker 3: you're James Garner, and he helped create the Rockford Files,
1:27:18
Speaker 3: he might have had a little piece of it. If
1:27:19
Speaker 3: you're Eric Estrada, you're not going to have a piece
1:27:22
Speaker 3: of chips. If they don't use you, they'll use somebody else.
1:27:26
Speaker 3: You're not always entitled to these residuals.
1:27:29
Speaker 9: But like Lou Majors, when he had the Fall Guy,
1:27:32
Speaker 9: he actually got a producer credit.
1:27:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, some people negotiate that. Dick Van Dyke actually got
1:27:37
Speaker 3: a piece of the Dick Van Dyke show. But the
1:27:39
Speaker 3: cast members don't get it. If you're one of the big,
1:27:42
Speaker 3: big stars and they really want you, that's part of
1:27:44
Speaker 3: the deal. They'll give you a little ownership. You'll get
1:27:46
Speaker 3: a piece of the show. Let's go to Mike in St.
1:27:51
Speaker 2: James.
1:27:51
Speaker 3: Mike, how are you doing?
1:27:52
Speaker 10: Fine, thank you. What's the matter?
1:27:56
Speaker 3: It sounds like somebody's chasing you. You're out of breath.
1:27:58
Speaker 3: What's going on?
1:27:59
Speaker 10: If federal law supersedes state law, can't Donald tell the governor,
1:28:06
Speaker 10: unless you start cooperating with ICE, He's.
1:28:10
Speaker 3: Already done that. That's already happening. It's happening now. Let's
1:28:14
Speaker 3: go to Pete in Bergen County. Pete, how you doing?
1:28:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark, hi.
1:28:19
Speaker 4: Do you remember the Jewish Defense League with Mayor Kahani?
1:28:22
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:28:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever happened to those guys? I think he got assassinated.
1:28:27
Speaker 3: Kahani was assassinated at the hotel in Lexington in 50.
1:28:32
Speaker 3: You know I was supposed to be there that night.
1:28:34
Speaker 3: Somebody invited me. to go watch him speak. He was
1:28:37
Speaker 3: supposed to be such an incredible speaker. They gave me
1:28:40
Speaker 3: the wrong hotel.
1:28:41
Speaker 9: I kind of remember Channel 5 used to cover him
1:28:46
Speaker 9: a little bit.
1:28:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they gave me the wrong hotel. You know, Lexington,
1:28:49
Speaker 3: like 50th, 49th, there's like four hotels in a row.
1:28:52
Speaker 3: They gave me the wrong hotel. I got there too late.
1:28:56
Speaker 3: He was already assassinated. Now it turns out that some
1:29:01
Speaker 3: of the lunatic terrorists who assassinated Maya Kahane had ties
1:29:09
Speaker 3: to the people that bombed the World Trade Center a
1:29:11
Speaker 3: few years later. There was actually a connection. It was
1:29:14
Speaker 3: kind of the same cell. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris,
1:29:18
Speaker 3: how are you doing?
1:29:20
Speaker 14: Good morning, Mark. I'm okay.
1:29:22
Speaker 3: Before we continue, he's going to panic and he's going
1:29:26
Speaker 3: to say, we're going to lose the midterms. Go ahead.
1:29:30
Speaker 17: Okay, we're going to lose the midterms. We're going to
1:29:31
Speaker 17: lose the midterms. But listen, before you were saying that
1:29:34
Speaker 17: even if we lose the.
1:29:35
Speaker 14: Senate and the House, Trump will be okay?
1:29:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:29:39
Speaker 15: Who cares?
1:29:40
Speaker 17: The country's going to be screwed.
1:29:42
Speaker 3: Well, you'll still have Trump running the country. But you've
1:29:44
Speaker 3: got to remember, do you do this with everything else
1:29:47
Speaker 3: in life or is it just politics where everything's negative?
1:29:50
Speaker 17: It's just politics because he's– listen, I voted for him
1:29:53
Speaker 17: three times, but he's screwed up so badly in the
1:29:55
Speaker 17: last six months.
1:29:56
Speaker 14: And nobody's calling him out on it.
1:29:58
Speaker 3: In what way?
1:29:59
Speaker 17: Okay, he started the Iran war without a way to
1:30:02
Speaker 17: get out of it.
1:30:03
Speaker 14: Well, there is a way.
1:30:04
Speaker 3: To get out of it. You've got to just finish it.
1:30:06
Speaker 3: He's holding off on that until after the election. You
1:30:08
Speaker 3: had to do that because you can't let them have
1:30:10
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon.
1:30:12
Speaker 17: Well, I agree, but they still have it, and we're
1:30:14
Speaker 17: out of missiles.
1:30:16
Speaker 14: And you're going to say we're not.
1:30:17
Speaker 3: We're not out of missiles. We're not out of missiles.
1:30:19
Speaker 3: We have plenty of missiles. See, part of the problem
1:30:23
Speaker 3: is you fall for all this fake news.
1:30:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:30:28
Speaker 17: So it's not true. We have an unlimited supply of
1:30:32
Speaker 17: missiles to give to everybody and protect ourselves.
1:30:35
Speaker 3: We've got plenty of missiles. So if they print something
1:30:38
Speaker 3: in the New York Times, you always fall for it.
1:30:39
Speaker 3: That's the problem.
1:30:40
Speaker 14: No, I don't read the New York Times.
1:30:41
Speaker 17: Believe it or not, there's two shows I make a
1:30:44
Speaker 17: point to listen to.
1:30:45
Speaker 14: It's you and somebody else on Saturdays. Who's the other one?
1:30:49
Speaker 14: Dick Morris, but that's comedic. No, Dick Morris is pretty good. Yeah,
1:30:54
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, I like the show.
1:30:55
Speaker 17: I mean, last time I spoke to you, you said, oh,
1:30:57
Speaker 17: I guarantee you he calls up every radio station and
1:31:00
Speaker 17: complains about this.
1:31:01
Speaker 14: Absolutely not. You're it.
1:31:03
Speaker 12: Sorry.
1:31:04
Speaker 14: You're my favorite show still.
1:31:06
Speaker 3: You can listen to other shows. Sean Hannity's pretty good.
1:31:09
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon. You ever listen to Jimmy Fallon?
1:31:11
Speaker 14: I listen to shows. The guys that come on after you,
1:31:14
Speaker 14: I can't listen to that.
1:31:15
Speaker 3: Well, they're doing pretty well. They've got 10 million listeners now.
1:31:19
Speaker 17: You know, a lot of it's out of loyalty to Rush.
1:31:22
Speaker 17: But that show to me is like a lifestyle. I know, but.
1:31:26
Speaker 3: They're doing the Rush show from Rush's studio with Rush's engineer.
1:31:32
Speaker 3: It's Rush's team. The people that ran the Rush show
1:31:35
Speaker 3: picked these two guys. So if you're going to be
1:31:37
Speaker 3: loyal to Rush, you should be listening to them.
1:31:39
Speaker 14: You remember the guy that used to fill in for Rush?
1:31:42
Speaker 17: Sometimes he would say he was from Ice Station Zebra,
1:31:44
Speaker 17: and I think it was an Australian actor.
1:31:46
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that guy. He's a very good guy. He's
1:31:47
Speaker 3: up in New Hampshire. I keep meaning to get him
1:31:49
Speaker 3: on the show.
1:31:50
Speaker 17: I mean, he was such a nice guy.
1:31:51
Speaker 19: If you could get.
1:31:52
Speaker 14: Michael Riedel back on.
1:31:53
Speaker 17: I mean, I don't know what the circumstances were that
1:31:56
Speaker 17: he left.
1:31:56
Speaker 3: I don't know, but Michael Riedel kind of disappeared. Yeah,
1:31:58
Speaker 3: we'll track him down. Well, who's the guy that filled
1:32:00
Speaker 3: in for Rush? Really nice guy. Very smart.
1:32:02
Speaker 14: He was really nice. He was very smart. He was interesting.
1:32:07
Speaker 3: We're going to get him back. I keep meaning to
1:32:09
Speaker 3: call that guy and get him on the show. We'll
1:32:11
Speaker 3: do that. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how
1:32:14
Speaker 3: you doing?
1:32:15
Speaker 15: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. Mark, I don't know why,
1:32:18
Speaker 15: given the fact that, as Michael Goodwin pointed out, that
1:32:21
Speaker 15: Mayor Mondami has spit in the face of every ethnic
1:32:25
Speaker 15: group that is not Indian or Muslim in the city
1:32:30
Speaker 15: of New York. I don't know why Donald Trump continues
1:32:34
Speaker 15: to kiss Mondami's ring. And before you say he has
1:32:37
Speaker 15: business here, Mark, he has business here, but don't shoot
1:32:42
Speaker 15: the line here. His top managers and his children are
1:32:45
Speaker 15: running his business. A caller called in Rob Astorino's show
1:32:50
Speaker 15: Saturday afternoon, and she said the same thing. And Rob
1:32:54
Speaker 15: said that Donald Trump has this desire to be liked.
1:32:59
Speaker 15: What is there to be liked?
1:33:01
Speaker 3: I think if you watch Donald Trump, he does not
1:33:04
Speaker 3: have a desire to be liked. Nobody goes around making
1:33:07
Speaker 3: more enemies than this guy.
1:33:09
Speaker 15: Then why?
1:33:10
Speaker 3: Why what?
1:33:11
Speaker 15: Why kiss Mondami's ring?
1:33:13
Speaker 3: He doesn't kiss his ring, but he does have a
1:33:16
Speaker 3: desire to always make a deal with somebody. That's his first.
1:33:18
Speaker 15: Make what deal? New York's in the worst shape.
1:33:21
Speaker 3: But he's trying to make a deal. Well, that's all
1:33:23
Speaker 3: the more reason.
1:33:24
Speaker 15: Me personally, I haven't benefited from the Trump presidency one iota.
1:33:30
Speaker 15: And in fact.
1:33:31
Speaker 3: Well, you actually have.
1:33:32
Speaker 4: No, I haven't.
1:33:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have.
1:33:34
Speaker 4: How?
1:33:35
Speaker 15: How have I benefited? There's no illegals in my neighborhood. Oh,
1:33:40
Speaker 15: the only thing that Trump hasn't done in my neighborhood,
1:33:44
Speaker 15: it's filled with illegal construction workers everywhere. All right, but we'll.
1:33:50
Speaker 3: Get to Joe Biden back. Will that make you happy?
1:33:53
Speaker 15: I was paying for my fuel and energy. I was
1:33:55
Speaker 15: paying much less money. How about that?
1:33:57
Speaker 3: Actually, during the Biden administration, it was.
1:34:00
Speaker 15: Donald Trump, when I last pulled up my car a
1:34:04
Speaker 15: couple of weeks ago, it was $ 4.
1:34:05
Speaker 19: 69.
1:34:05
Speaker 3: Okay, but remember, a dollar of that is state and local.
1:34:09
Speaker 3: That's not all, Trump. You can't blame... Mark, please. Anyway, Vincent,
1:34:12
Speaker 3: there's no winning this argument. Since it's impossible to win
1:34:15
Speaker 3: the argument, we must end it immediately because we got
1:34:17
Speaker 3: to go to John McLaughlin.
1:34:18
Speaker 15: Yeah, I know.
1:34:19
Speaker 3: He's coming up next. The greatest pollster in the world.
1:34:22
Speaker 3: John McLaughlin just ahead on 710WOR.
1:34:25
Speaker 21: Well, you know, you see all these fake polls, these
1:34:36
Speaker 21: media college polls, just terrible, fake, flimsy, stupid polls.
1:34:40
Speaker 3: Now, the real stuff is behind the scenes. It's what
1:34:42
Speaker 3: the candidates use. The real polls, deadly accurate. The best
1:34:47
Speaker 3: pollster in the world is John McLaughlin. And his website
1:34:51
Speaker 3: is McLaughlinOnline.com. John McLaughlin, how are you doing?
1:34:56
Speaker 14: I'm doing well.
1:34:57
Speaker 16: Not getting much sleep. Twenty-two days out from the election. So,
1:35:01
Speaker 16: a lot of close races out there.
1:35:03
Speaker 3: Would you say, as far as the overall midterms, it's
1:35:05
Speaker 3: too close to call right now?
1:35:07
Speaker 19: Oh, absolutely.
1:35:08
Speaker 16: Because even with the bad polls, I mean, there's a
1:35:12
Speaker 16: lot of polls out there that are definitely undercounting Republicans.
1:35:15
Speaker 16: I mean, just in New York. I mean, you've got
1:35:17
Speaker 16: to look at what happened with these college polls last week.
1:35:21
Speaker 16: You had Marist poll came out. And when you go
1:35:25
Speaker 16: into the internals, the demographics, they have 59% white voters.
1:35:29
Speaker 16: They have 41 non-whites. They don't break apart Hispanics or
1:35:33
Speaker 16: they don't break apart African-Americans. But the actual turnout four
1:35:37
Speaker 16: years ago in New York was 76% white. And if
1:35:40
Speaker 16: you go to Siena, Siena was they had Bruce within
1:35:43
Speaker 16: nine like a month ago. So this poll had Bruce
1:35:50
Speaker 16: down double digits, but when you adjust it to what
1:35:53
Speaker 16: it should be by race, he's only down 50 to 44.
1:35:57
Speaker 16: And Emerson did the same thing with their poll. They
1:36:00
Speaker 16: come out with a poll that they text. They don't
1:36:02
Speaker 16: even use live interviews. And they had him down double digits,
1:36:06
Speaker 16: but if you adjust it by race properly, because they
1:36:08
Speaker 16: had 62% white, and they had oversampled the African-Americans, Asians,
1:36:15
Speaker 16: and Hispanics, and if you adjust it, it would only
1:36:18
Speaker 16: be 48-44. So what you're seeing nationally and what you're
1:36:22
Speaker 16: seeing in New York State is they try to sandbag us,
1:36:25
Speaker 16: where they're trying to affect turnout. They know midterms, you
1:36:28
Speaker 16: don't get the usual turnout.
1:36:30
Speaker 4: You get, like in a.
1:36:31
Speaker 16: Presidential year, you got 155 million voters. In New York,
1:36:34
Speaker 16: you got 9 million. In a midterm election, in 2022,
1:36:39
Speaker 16: you got 112 million voters coming out. And in New York,
1:36:41
Speaker 16: you had just under 6 million come out. So it's
1:36:47
Speaker 16: a turnout game. So if they can convince people that
1:36:51
Speaker 16: the Republicans aren't doing as well, it could hurt the donations.
1:36:55
Speaker 16: But certainly they're trying to sandbag the voters into don't
1:36:58
Speaker 16: come out and vote because your guy's not going to win.
1:37:01
Speaker 16: And that's going on with the national polls. And it's
1:37:04
Speaker 16: a toss-up election. You have nine Senate races that are
1:37:08
Speaker 16: all considered dead even.
1:37:10
Speaker 14: I find it hard to believe that.
1:37:12
Speaker 16: Alaska and Nebraska– and Kansas and Ohio and some of
1:37:16
Speaker 16: these other states are going to go for the Democrats
1:37:18
Speaker 16: because I've worked in Texas with Tallarico. I mean, the
1:37:21
Speaker 16: guy disappears. And the New York Times says it's a
1:37:25
Speaker 16: close race, but they only have Trump voters plus seven
1:37:28
Speaker 16: in their poll. We won by 14 when I was
1:37:31
Speaker 16: doing the polling for President Trump. We won 56 to 42.
1:37:34
Speaker 16: So somewhere along the line, they're under-polling Trump voters and
1:37:38
Speaker 16: Republicans in all these polls. And they're just, you know,
1:37:42
Speaker 16: but we know it's a toss-up race. And the voters
1:37:44
Speaker 16: will come out. I mean, the voters that care about
1:37:46
Speaker 16: the election will definitely come out.
1:37:47
Speaker 3: You know, it's a fascinating phenomenon. These people, you know,
1:37:51
Speaker 3: smart people, you know, your doctor, lawyer, you know, they're
1:37:53
Speaker 3: quoting these polls. You could show them how rigged the
1:37:56
Speaker 3: metrics are that Republicans are only 23 percent of the sample.
1:37:59
Speaker 3: They should be 38 percent. You could show them the
1:38:02
Speaker 3: whole thing. The next day they're quoting the polls again.
1:38:05
Speaker 3: Nothing changes. What is this phenomenon? They keep believing these polls.
1:38:10
Speaker 2: It's the media. I mean, think about it.
1:38:12
Speaker 16: I mean, you know, you say nice things about me polling,
1:38:16
Speaker 16: but as long as Donald Trump.
1:38:18
Speaker 14: You know, is the president, I'll accept it.
1:38:20
Speaker 16: Because back in 2015, when we met at Larry Kudlow's
1:38:24
Speaker 16: house for an event, you said, do you think Trump
1:38:28
Speaker 16: could win?
1:38:28
Speaker 14: I said, absolutely, he's going to win.
1:38:31
Speaker 16: And by the way, you know, in that election, it
1:38:36
Speaker 16: was like, it was close if it wasn't for Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia,
1:38:41
Speaker 16: and some.
1:38:41
Speaker 2: Of these other states. I mean, we won by.
1:38:45
Speaker 16: The electoral vote majority. But in 2024... We definitely had
1:38:51
Speaker 16: a campaign where we were focused on going around the
1:38:54
Speaker 16: media and through the media directly to the voters. If
1:38:58
Speaker 16: you went to a Trump rally, you might get 100,000
1:39:01
Speaker 16: people there in 2024, but everybody that wanted to go
1:39:05
Speaker 16: sent us their emails and they sent us their texts,
1:39:08
Speaker 16: their cell phones, which meant that we had their information
1:39:11
Speaker 16: that we could email or text for free. like a
1:39:15
Speaker 16: million people and tell them to contact their friends.
1:39:17
Speaker 14: So you're reaching millions of people.
1:39:18
Speaker 3: Now just explain that. And you don't have to deal
1:39:20
Speaker 3: with the media. People might not realize one reason he's
1:39:22
Speaker 3: doing the rallies. If 30,000 people show up, that's where
1:39:26
Speaker 3: they get the names, addresses. That's where they get them registered,
1:39:29
Speaker 3: make sure they turn out. So that's kind of the
1:39:31
Speaker 3: ground game too, right?
1:39:33
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:39:33
Speaker 16: And you tell your friends and it's a, it's a
1:39:35
Speaker 16: high tech game where you're with president Trump until going
1:39:38
Speaker 16: back to 2016. I remember telling him on election day,
1:39:41
Speaker 16: it's a dead even race. Don't believe these Hillary locks polls.
1:39:44
Speaker 16: you need to go on talk radio here. You need
1:39:46
Speaker 16: to go to the state. You need to do these
1:39:48
Speaker 16: things and don't quit until the polls close. And, uh, um,
1:39:53
Speaker 16: and he was able to do that. I mean, he
1:39:55
Speaker 16: was reaching millions, tens of millions of people on Facebook,
1:39:58
Speaker 16: even on election day. So, so now the technology is
1:40:01
Speaker 16: coming even farther and faster and he has his own
1:40:05
Speaker 16: true social media and you have, uh, um, you have
1:40:08
Speaker 16: things like Tik TOK and you have other, other ways
1:40:11
Speaker 16: to get to, to voters that, uh, Yeah, it's instantaneous almost.
1:40:19
Speaker 16: And so it's– but you go around the media because,
1:40:23
Speaker 16: I mean, the Media Research Center has done studies where
1:40:26
Speaker 16: over 90% of the media we get from the establishment, legacy,
1:40:30
Speaker 16: old stream, old lame.
1:40:31
Speaker 3: Media is negative.
1:40:33
Speaker 16: It's like, you know, I mean, we did a poll
1:40:36
Speaker 16: in June where we asked people if they approve or
1:40:39
Speaker 16: disapprove of the ceasefire with Iran, and the majority of
1:40:42
Speaker 16: voters did approve of the ceasefire. Except if they watch
1:40:45
Speaker 16: CNN or MSNBC, they disapproved of a ceasefire because it
1:40:50
Speaker 16: was Donald Trump's ceasefire.
1:40:54
Speaker 3: You also have been the pollster for years for Bibi Netanyahu.
1:40:58
Speaker 3: People may not realize he's up for re-election. How does
1:41:00
Speaker 3: it look for him?
1:41:02
Speaker 16: It's very close. In Israeli elections, it's a multi-party system.
1:41:07
Speaker 16: So it's very complex in terms of they have 120
1:41:10
Speaker 16: members running for president. uh, running for, uh, the Knesset. And, uh,
1:41:15
Speaker 16: you have to get a majority of over 60. Four
1:41:18
Speaker 16: years ago, our polls were dead on, but they didn't,
1:41:20
Speaker 16: they didn't, you know, we didn't get the majority. They
1:41:23
Speaker 16: didn't recognize it in their media polls until the very
1:41:27
Speaker 16: end where we were able to win the majority. And, uh, and, and,
1:41:31
Speaker 16: you know, I've had closer, like I've worked for him
1:41:33
Speaker 16: since 2003 and he's, he's an amazing, he's an amazing fist, uh,
1:41:38
Speaker 16: figure in, in, in, uh, You know, in world history,
1:41:41
Speaker 16: I mean, he's just amazing. But right now, it's showing
1:41:45
Speaker 16: the usual where it's a battle between his party and Yesher,
1:41:50
Speaker 16: which is a new party. But he's gaining. And the
1:41:54
Speaker 16: question is, will they do what they did in 2021,
1:41:58
Speaker 16: where the opposition tossed in with the Arab parties to
1:42:03
Speaker 16: create a majority to.
1:42:04
Speaker 3: Get rid of him?
1:42:05
Speaker 16: And the fellow Bennett who's running again now, his party's
1:42:10
Speaker 16: not one of the leaders, but it's there. But he's
1:42:14
Speaker 16: still in with the opposition where they may go back
1:42:16
Speaker 16: in with the Arab parties to get Bibi out of there,
1:42:20
Speaker 16: but probably won't work. So it's going to be close
1:42:24
Speaker 16: right to the end. You've got two weeks to go
1:42:25
Speaker 16: in that election.
1:42:28
Speaker 3: Before we run out of time, Bruce Blakeman, tomorrow night's
1:42:30
Speaker 3: his debate with Kathy Hochul. Unfortunately, it's on New York One,
1:42:33
Speaker 3: which has like 12 viewers. So how does it look
1:42:36
Speaker 3: for Bruce Blakeman right now?
1:42:38
Speaker 4: It looks good.
1:42:39
Speaker 16: That's why I mentioned those two polls. I mean, if
1:42:41
Speaker 16: they were done accurately, he'd be within a handful of
1:42:44
Speaker 16: points or someplace between four and six points. So you
1:42:48
Speaker 16: can say so. And that's amazing in a two to
1:42:51
Speaker 16: one Democrat state. What the difference in New York is,
1:42:54
Speaker 16: is that Mayor Mondami and Kathy Hochul. I mean, four
1:42:58
Speaker 16: years ago when when Hochul was running against Zeldin, people
1:43:01
Speaker 16: didn't think they were thinking, well, we may not like her.
1:43:05
Speaker 16: But she won. Now they know they don't like her.
1:43:08
Speaker 16: Her negatives are driving the race, where in most of
1:43:11
Speaker 16: the suburbs in our borough, she has a 60% unfavorable rating. Upstate,
1:43:15
Speaker 16: she has, I mean, Bruce could win Erie County, her
1:43:18
Speaker 16: home county. And Mayor Mondami, she created this guy. And basically,
1:43:24
Speaker 16: her and him have a plan to raise taxes by
1:43:28
Speaker 16: billions of dollars in New York State. I mean, they've
1:43:30
Speaker 16: done that tax on second homes. But Mondami wants a
1:43:33
Speaker 16: property tax of 9.5% on all the homes in New
1:43:37
Speaker 16: York City, all the real estate in New York City.
1:43:39
Speaker 16: They also want to have surcharges on corporations to kill jobs, 2%.
1:43:45
Speaker 16: They want to have a surcharge on income tax, they say,
1:43:50
Speaker 16: above $ 300, 000. They also want to lower the threshold for
1:43:53
Speaker 16: the death tax. This is in the DSA, the Democrat
1:43:55
Speaker 16: Socialist America platform. It's unclear whether it's $ 300, 000 or $ 750, 000.
1:44:02
Speaker 16: But right now, the death tax for estates doesn't go
1:44:04
Speaker 16: into effect until a multi-million, like $ 7 million level. They
1:44:08
Speaker 16: want to lower it to $ 750, 000. So your home, farms,
1:44:13
Speaker 16: small businesses will be subject to millionaire's death taxes. I mean,
1:44:17
Speaker 16: they would kill New York State. And they're keeping this
1:44:20
Speaker 16: all secret in the media. That's why they want to
1:44:23
Speaker 16: debate in the closet. All these taxes, all the utility
1:44:26
Speaker 16: bill increases, and plus Mondami wants to shut Rikers Island
1:44:30
Speaker 16: and release thousands of more criminals. They want to keep
1:44:32
Speaker 16: all that quiet until 22 days from now, and then
1:44:37
Speaker 16: it'll be like, you know, without Bruce getting elected, there'll
1:44:40
Speaker 16: be no check and balance on that.
1:44:42
