  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Tuesday. It's a beautiful day. A lot going on.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: 60 Minutes. Boy, you can't trust them at all anymore.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You know, the problem is a lot of people still
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: read the New York Times believing it's a newspaper. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: some people still watch 60 Minutes thinking it's a news program.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: They don't, you know, when you say fake news, they
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: don't really fully comprehend what it is. You know, it
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't really sink in that you're being lied to. There's
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: so many fake stories, totally fake, fraudulent stories. The New
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: York Times has pushed. The Washington Post has pushed. And
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: 60 Minutes has been caught doctoring video. The Kamala Harris interview,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: she wasn't able to, answer a question. So they doctored
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: up the video, took an answer from a different question,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: spliced it in. So, I mean, just out and out fraud.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: They just did a piece on the Trump administration. Now
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go after CBS again, 60 minutes, just
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: did a piece on this guy that was deported. Ice
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: came and deported the guy and they did a piece.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: It was so sympathetic to, you know, he was a husband.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: He was a father. And they just took him and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: deported him. And it was a touching piece. He's the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: father of two. He's married. Well, the Trump administration, furious,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: they forgot to mention this guy committed fraud in his
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: immigration application. He lied. They found all kinds of fraud
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in his immigration forms. And he lied about everything. So
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: they forgot to mention that in the piece. I mean,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you could argue, well, you still don't have to, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the point is they forgot to mention it. Now, let's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: be honest. They didn't forget to mention it. They left
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: it out. They deliberately left it out of the story.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: You know, this story has been going around for a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: week or two about Elon Musk, how he was trying
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to get people killed. He was on Russia's side. He
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: was helping Putin. Ukraine depends on Starlink to guide their drones. And,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you know, the killer drones, the military drones. And all
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, Musk throttled them down, shut down their
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: speed on the Starlink. Well, it turns out, and remember
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: at one point they said President Trump ordered it, Musk
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: ordered it. They kept going on with these fake stories.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Turns out it was throttled down. Starlink did shut down,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: slow down deliberately Ukraine's account. But now that all the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: details have come out, it turns out when you're on Starlink,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You are not allowed to use it for military purposes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You can use it on drones, but you can't use
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it to send drones 150 miles an hour to attack somebody.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't Musk ordering it to slow down. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: built into the software. They have stuff in the software
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that if they see anybody violating the terms, it automatically
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: slows their account down. And most sites have this. If
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you do something you're not supposed to do on Facebook,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it'll throttle down your account immediately. Same thing on Twitter.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: They all have this. It was just built into the software.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Once it got to be a big, huge story and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Musk was told and got involved, he got the engineers
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to fix it, but it's automatic. Now, why can't you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: use Starlink for military purposes, for attacks? Well, there's a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: good reason for that. Now, what they have, they have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: another thing called SpaceShield. That's the military version of Starlink.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: If you're going to do military stuff, you know, trying
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to bomb and kill, you got to use Space Shield.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: The reason they won't allow it on Starlink, Starlink depends
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: on satellites. It's run by satellites in space. And Musk is,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and this is only logical, Musk has said if he
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: allows it to be used for military use, for instance,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Zelensky blowing up stuff in Moscow, then the next step
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: will be Russia will shoot down the Starlink satellites. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: he doesn't want that. He wants Starlink strictly peaceful. He
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't want Russia or China blowing up his satellites. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that's the reason. But Ukraine, I don't know why they
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: did it. They knew they had to use Space Shield,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the military version. But for some reason, they tried it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: on Starlink. The software just automatically, it's built into the software.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: If they see anybody doing anything you're not supposed to do,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it slows down their account immediately. So That's all that happened. Now,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that part of the story naturally is not getting reported
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: by The New York Times, CBS, or any left-wing fake
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: news site. Anthropic has filed for the big IPO. Everybody
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: was waiting for this. They value Anthropic at $ 2 trillion. Actually,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they've posted a staggering loss in the first half of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the year, $ 80 billion, almost $ 81 billion in the first
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: half of the year. But that's all the big tech
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: companies in the first few years because they just keep
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: pumping it back into the company. So that could spook
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Wall Street investors because they're all worried about an AI bubble.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But the revenue over the same period was $ 16 billion,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and that's up from $ 40 million two years ago. So
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty good jump there. So this is going
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to be a big IPO. It's supposed to happen probably
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: in a month or so. Uh, French president Macron promises
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: strong measures to stop the protests. He promised on Monday
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that his government, you see, they're very slow over there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: If this was, uh, uh, the U S and Donald
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Trump and those protests started, the response would be about
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: an hour later. Uh, but it's two weeks into it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And Macron has announced not strong measures. No, he's announced
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that they're going to announce a package, uh, later in
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the week, later in the week, they'll announce a package. His, uh,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister Sébastien Leconneau is set to hold a news
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: conference after meeting with unions of high school students. Now,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: there were some students originally in these protests complaining about something.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The temperature wasn't right in the classroom.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: They didn't like the lunch. Something. I don't know. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: they're going to meet with these student unions and work
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that out. Get them out of the mix. The Interior
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: has deployed 70,000 police for this weekend coming up. So far,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: 1,500 people arrested nationwide, but they got to stop this.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: They really got to stop this. President Trump really going
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: after Obama. Obama going after Trump. By the way, let
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: me repeat this. I keep repeating this throughout the show.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Anytime Obama goes on the stump in campaigns, the person
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: always loses. That's his track record. Remember in 2024, he
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: went out on the campaign trail the last few weeks
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to stop Trump. Again, he always fails on the campaign trail.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Obama's only good campaigning for himself. His coattails stink. They
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: always have. But Obama attacked him like crazy on everything,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: every issue. Trump now going after Obama.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Guys like Obama, they would pass the front door. They'd
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: see the broken.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's talking about Obama, who was in the White
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: House for eight years and let the whole building just decay.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Stuff was crumbling. Stuff was broken. And Obama, for eight years,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: never did anything about it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Guys like Obama, they would pass the front door. They'd
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: see the broken masonry. They'd see the broken, the beautiful
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: pilasters that were all broken. For years they were broken.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And he wouldn't notice because he doesn't notice that. He
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: doesn't notice dirt and filth. that hadn't been cleaned, where
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the walls hadn't been cleaned for years. He doesn't notice
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: areas that haven't been painted. So it's very easy for
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: me to do. I do it very, very simply because
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: it's by nature, you know, I'm a very clean person.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he's also a professional builder. A professional builder
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: got that eye. He sees everything wrong. Obama, not a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: professional builder. Never even actually had a job doing anything
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: except politics. Biden, you can't blame because the guy's Doesn't
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: know where the hell he is. He's just bumping into walls.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: You can't expect him to notice anything.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: You have to remember, the White House, we have to
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: explain that to Obama because he doesn't understand it because
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: he's not a smart guy. Let me tell you, in
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: my opinion, he's not smart at all because the way
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: he ran the country, only a stupid person would run
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: the country like that. But we have to explain to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Obama that the White House is a symbol of America
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: and it has to be maintained properly.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. See, one good thing about Trump, he's got this
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: thing about He'll go after you for all your faults.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But even if you don't have a fault, he'll just
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: make it sound like it is. You know, there's a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: lot wrong with Obama. You could criticize Obama for a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: lot of things. I don't think anybody could make this
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: case that he's stupid. Obviously, he's a brilliant guy. You
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: can't say he's stupid. But Trump will do it anyway.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's just the way he is. He's unbelievable at that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: He's great at that. You know, like.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: George Clooney, he'll just say. He's an ugly guy. I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: think everybody agrees. He's ugly. He's really ugly. He'll just
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: make the case so forcefully and with such confidence. You
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: start believing the guy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Guys like Obama don't see it. You don't see dirt.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: He doesn't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments on
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a building. The White House to President Obama is a
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: symbol of America. It has to be clean. The columns
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: can't be broken. The bricks can't be falling off from
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: under the plaster. And for you to say it's a
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Cheesecake Factory, that's shows why you were a lousy president.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: He's not going to live down that cheesecake factory stuff
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: also you know you're in the midwest where people love
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the cheesecake factory obama talks about it like it's a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: cheap little nothing it's a very special place for people
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: in the midwest the cheesecake factory and it's great I mean,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: name a restaurant that has a better menu than the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory. Anytime the menu's in a book, like a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: leather-bound book, and it's 47 pages, that's pretty impressive. In fact,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you don't even have to look
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: at the menu. They have everything. Just say anything. Whatever
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: you want, they got it on that menu. It is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: an amazing place. The food is delicious. Everything. thing you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: order is 4,700 calories. But aside from that, it's a
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: great place. You know what people are getting crazier about?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And the public is starting to rebel against this. These
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: red light cameras are everywhere. Red light cameras are driving
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: people crazy. 600 drivers now starting a protest. First of all,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you go through the red light or they got these
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: speed cameras. You get a ticket in the mail and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And you got to pay it. There's nothing you can do. Now,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: what's driving everybody crazy is there's two cars and 400
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: bikes on the same street. The bikes are breaking the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: speed limit. The bikes always go through red lights. The
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: bikes go through stop signs. The bikes are up on
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the sidewalk. The bikes are going the wrong way down
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the street. Start ticketing them. It's easy to do. You
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: require every bike to get a license. The license must
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: be on the bike. The license could have a chip
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: in it that the cameras can read. First of all,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you make a fortune selling the bike licenses. And then
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: every year they got to renew it. And so you
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: make money that way. It's a lot of revenue. And
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the bikes are breaking the law every second. The revenue
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: will come pouring in off these bikes. Now, after a while,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: if they keep getting tickets, they'll stop. They'll make sure
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to stop at the stop sign. They'll make sure to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: go the speed limit. But that's good. That's good. So
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: either way you win, start ticketing bikes. You've got to
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: do it. I don't know how you're going to get
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: that done because politicians hate cars, love bikes, but start
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: ticketing them. E-bikes, e-scooters, all that crap and those stupid pedicabs.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: You know, they got rid of the horse and carriages.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: There's more problems with those pedicabs, with the illegal alien
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: gang member peddling furiously with two frightened tourists in the back.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Get rid of those things. Oh, good news. You know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: they say there's no good news. Well, here's some good news.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Former FBI director James Comey facing new criminal charges. This
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: he should have been charged with a long time ago.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: This story had been around for a while. You remember
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: he had a guy, I think he was a professor
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: at Columbia, a professor of journalism or something like that,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: very close to Comey. And Comey, if he needed stuff
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: leaked to the New York Times, would show it to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: his friend and his friend would leak it. That way
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Comey never had contact with the New York Times. Comey
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: could say, I did not talk to anybody in the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: New York Times. I didn't leak it to the New
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: York Times. But the friend did. There was always that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: story floating around. I forget the guy's name. They even
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: named the guy. Well, he's now being charged with leaking
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: classified information, transmitting national defense information, but doing it through
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a third party There's specific cases of this. There was
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: an October 2016 New York Times article that revealed stuff
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: about our surveillance and spam filters. The New York Times
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: got a hold of it. They believe Comey leaked that
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: through his friend. They've indicted him. I don't think they
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: would have gone ahead with this unless they had the evidence.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: They've probably gotten cell phone records and GPS stuff and
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: seen these guys together. And then the record of the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: other guy's cell phone transmitting to the New York Times. Comey,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: more legal trouble, real legal trouble for him. Hey, New
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: York City district attorneys, we're talking about this last hour,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg, the one in the Bronx. These district attorneys
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: are so pro-criminal. They don't put the criminals in jail.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: They let them right back on the streets. They're anti-ICE.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Apparently now, there's certain things, if you got charged with
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a serious felonies case, committing awful crimes in the street,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the ICE agents can deport you over it. So apparently,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: these district attorneys are deliberately downgrading the charges to make
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: sure they're non-deportable offenses. This is the House Judiciary Committee
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that's done a report. They said New York City's district
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: attorneys are doing this deliberately, covering up for these illegals,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: deliberately downgrading the charges, even though they just committed a
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: serious crime, downgrading it so they won't get deported. This
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: is unbelievable. Now, the governor, if you get the right governor,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and it's Bruce Blakeman, can remove these district attorneys and
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: put real ones in, real crime fighters, replace these district attorneys.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: That would change everything. So make sure you get out
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and vote. Do it this week. Do the early voting.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Get out and vote. It's all about turnout. Hey, we'll
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: take some calls next. 800- 321-0710 is the number. Give
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: us a call.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Carl in
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Carl, how you doing?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark. Thanks for taking my call. Hold it down.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Hold it down. People are sleeping here. Okay.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: What people seem to be talking about here in New
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Jersey is Cory Booker is on the ballot. He's a senator.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It's a six-year term. He's running against a guy named
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Justin Murphy. And he's a nobody, and he's a long shot.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But this is a chance to really shake the Democratic
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: cage at the top. And nobody seems to be covering it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I know, but let's be honest. You people in New Jersey,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: nothing personal, but you people in New Jersey vote in
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the worst people as governors, as senators.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: As senators.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I'm a mom of county, and we went red, but
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you are not wrong. You are not wrong.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: You vote in some wacky governors, and that Cory Booker
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: is like, as they call him, the Dollar Store Obama.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Dollar Store Obama. He's going to run for president again,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and if he's in the next cycle, he's going to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: continue to throw New Jersey under the bus to gain
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: favor with his party.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: He runs for president every time. Nobody knows, but he
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: runs for president every time. Let's go to Larry in Cranford,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Larry, how you doing?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So what has Kathy Holcomb been doing all this time?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: She's going to lower prices? When?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The day after Election Day? Yeah, no, it's a fascinating phenomenon.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Democrats have had total control in New York for 15 years.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Democrats controlled City Hall, the legislature, the governor's mansion, every
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: inch of New York governed by Democrats, 15 years. Now
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: they tell you there's a crime problem. Oh, there's an
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis. There's this. Electric bills are too high. Well,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: if this is the case, it's all your fault. They
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: should throw you out. It's the most unbelievable chutzpah ever.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Diane in Connecticut. Diane, how are you doing?
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: I'm doing pretty good. I wanted to speak about James Carville.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: I was watching him on a show last week. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: he was ranting and raving about how much he hates Trump.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: He said, I hate him. I can't sleep at night
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: because of him. I can't eat. I'm losing weight. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: can't have any fun or whatever. I never saw such craziness.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I know. They're like little children. They're like crazy little whining, pouty,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: pouty children. Like they won't go to bed unless.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: You give them this. He should know better.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I know. It's crazy. Listen, I didn't like Kamala Harris,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: but it didn't keep me up at night. I wasn't
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: losing any sleep over it. I wasn't foaming at the mouth.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I hated that Joe Biden is president. But I didn't
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: run around screaming about it all day. I didn't go
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: out in the street with a no kings or, in
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: his case, no zombies sign. They're just nuts. But they're
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: like children. It's just childish ranting and raving. Let's go
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Good morning mark mark i will take speaking about album
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: break downgrading charges and the black community in hispanic community
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: should be incensed in fact today at the arraignment of
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: that dirty cop who shot the guy on the bridge
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Alvin Bragg only charged him with manslaughter. That guy should
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: have been charged with murder too, reckless endangerment, reckless discharging
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: of a firearm, which Internal Affairs, before the guy retired,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: after only seven years, they brought him up on a
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: reckless endangerment for discharging his firearm.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Vincent, Vincent, you seem very familiar with the charging system
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: here in New York.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually am very familiar. There's no way that
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: that cop should have been charged with, on the onset,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: with manslaughter. And here's the reason why. Usually, during the
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: course of a trial, depending on which way the trial's going,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: either the DA or the defense attorney will say, hey,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I'll cop out to this. I'll plead out to that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: You don't start low so you could go lower. You start,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: you charge them high, and then you work the charges down.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: This cop could be out in three years. And knowing that,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the family is... planning a protest outside of Central Book
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: in Manhattan today. That's mob stuff with this cop.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, but you would think a left-wing kook like Alvin
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Bragg would overcharge a cop. You think he would hate cops?
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess he's trying to curry favor with the
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: police union and detectives union. But this guy is no
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: altar boy. He retired after seven years. That tells you
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: a lot because internal affairs probably told him, hey, We're
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: going to bring this case against you to court. Either
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: you quit now or we're going to court with this
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: because why would the guy retire after seven years? And
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: this came out last week on WOR and other channels
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: that report the real news, not NPR and those garbage stations.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: All right, well, Alvin Bragg, the worst district attorney in America.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: If you get a new governor... He can remove Alvin Bragg.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: That would be great. Well, let's hope it happens, Mark.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go out and vote. Vincent, thanks for calling. Go
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: out and vote. Do the early voting. You can do
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: it this week. Hey, when we come back, the brilliant
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: columnist Liz Peek, we'll talk to her next on 710WOR.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Mark Zemmong, Mr. New York.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peek, the brilliant columnist. You can read her
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: columns at foxnews.com or thehill.com. But even better, go to
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: her website. Everything is there, plus a lot of great stories.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: You go to lizpeek.com, lizpeek.com. Liz Peek, how are you doing?
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I'm great. Thank you for having me on.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, one week from today, seven days away. What do
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you think is going on now, midterm-wise?
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Well, look, I think that we have been hit with
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: a blizzard of negative polls, negative headlines. I think Democrats
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: and the liberal media are throwing absolutely everything at us
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: to make us convinced that the election is basically over
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: and done with and trying to convince Republicans not to
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: bother to vote. Because if you think it's hopeless, Mark,
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: you stay home. And I think that is absolutely what
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: they're trying to accomplish. What I see is tightening polls
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: in a lot of critical races. Michigan's a good example,
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: where Abdul Al-Sayed was up over Mike Rogers a few
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: weeks ago by almost four points, and now it's one point,
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: or in some cases, tied.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: And that is true in Texas.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: I think it's true in Iowa and various other races
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: where you know, yeah, Democrats have put up a really
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: good fight.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: But when you look.
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: At the historical bias of polling, and I don't mean
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: that the polls are purposefully manufactured to make Republicans look bad,
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: but in something like 13 out of the last 14 elections,
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: Republicans have been undercounted. And in particular, according to The Economist,
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: in states that are red states. In other words, you
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: go into Iowa, you go into Texas and you do
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: a poll and A lot of Trump voters aren't going
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: to respond because they're just ornery and they don't like polling.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: And maybe they're embarrassed. Their neighbors, you know, they don't
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: know who's going to look at these polls, whatever. But
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: the answer by three or four points, Republicans are undercounted.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: And if that is the case, a lot of these
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: supposedly squeaker races are not going to end up being
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: as tight as we think. So I am optimistic that
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: the GOP will hold the Senate. I think probably the
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: House they will not hold.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you never know.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: You never know.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Anything can happen. The good news is they sent Obama out,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: a panicky move, Obama out on the campaign trail. Check
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: his track record. Everybody he endorses loses. That's generally the case.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: True, true.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: And, you know, I think he's been like out in
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Michigan because El-Sayed, lost Detroit, by the way, in the primary.
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you go back and look at how
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: he has done with black voters, it is terrible. So,
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: you know, Obama is supposed to be getting out there
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: and rallying black voters to show up for al-Sayed. Is
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: that really going to pull, as you point out, it
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: has not proved an effective strategy in the past.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Maybe this time will be different.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: But I think a lot of conservative black voters are
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: looking at al-Sayed with this, you know, very clear borderline,
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: I guess we have to say, alleged ties to the
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: And they don't like that. I mean, they're patriotic Americans.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: They don't like the fact that this guy's coming in
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: and bashing Israel, bashing capitalism.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: That's just not their cup of tea.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: So I think Jewish voters are definitely having second thoughts.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Black voters just may not show up.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: And so I'm Again, I'm sort of optimistic that in
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: some of these races, the numbers are not really counting
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: what's going to happen.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Here in New York, you know, the Cato Institute does
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: a survey of governors in America. Kathy Hochul just won
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: as the single worst governor in the United States of America.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I think Bruce Blakeman's going to do it. I think
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: he's going to win.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, man, that would be, would that not be a thunderbolt?
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: Because I have likened New York voters to Stockholm Syndrome victims.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: where you're held captive and you don't know how to
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: get out, but you end up sort of loving your oppressors.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: In this case, how could.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: She not be in the bottom of the rankings when
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: you have the highest taxes in the country, the worst
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: conditions to run a business, and just cost of living
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: through the roof, cost of electricity, not because of the
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: war in Iran, I hesitate to point out, but because
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo's policies, Democrat policies, have basically
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: made natural gas unavailable to New Yorkers, banning not only pipelines,
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: but also fracking, which means that our neighbors in Pennsylvania
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: are doing much, much better income-wise and electricity price-wise than
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: people in New York. These are policies that they should
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: be fired for.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Andrew Cuomo was fired, thank God. Now we should fire
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Kathy Hochul.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: And by the way, If you're worried, if you're a
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: New York City resident, you're worried about Mamdani, the governor
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: is the only possible break on Mamdani, and she will
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: not be that break on Mamdani. So as he continues
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: to throw up there all these benefits he wants to provide,
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: programs he wants to initiate and so forth, you're looking
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: at higher taxes. You're looking at losing more taxpayers to
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: Florida and Texas and Tennessee and other low-tax locales. This
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: is not working. And I think, you know, the sooner
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: there's a political... And, you know, Mark, what drives me
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: nuts is that Republicans in this state are so fatalistic.
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: It's sort of like, oh, you can't elect a Republican. Well,
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: George Pataki was a Republican. Mike Bloomberg was elected mayor
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: of New York City, for heaven's sakes, as a Republican
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: because people were so fed up with Democrat incompetence.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: That's where we are now. That's, I think, where we
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: will be very shortly.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, the governor has the power to remove
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: the district attorneys. It's a state job. He could put
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: in real crime fighters that could turn everything around crime-wise.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and just justice-wise.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, we've had, you know, somebody in the DA post,
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: attorney general post, who has had political vendettas. I mean,
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: it's hilarious when they talk about Trump going after his enemies.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: My God.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, what do they think Letitia James has done
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: over the last many years? All she has really targeted,
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: as far as I can see, is political enemies like
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: Donald Trump, creating cases where they went after him on
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: the most preposterous, even described by the New York Times
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: as creative charges, and basically not done her job in
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: terms of locking up criminals. Mark, imagine if somebody you
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: loved was shoved in the front of a subway train
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: and killed or stabbed to death in the park or whatever.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: And you found out that same person had been arrested
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: for similar things not long prior to that and put
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: back out on the streets. How can people tolerate this?
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: I don't understand it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We're talking to Liz Peek, the great columnist. Listen,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: gas prices are too high. They're not Joe Biden high,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: but they're high. And it's an issue, but it's not
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: the issue. If you watch the fake news, they make
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: it sound like the entire election is going to be
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: based on gas prices. That's never happened in history where
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the number one issue was gas prices, right? There's more
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, they want us to believe that everything
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: that's wrong with the economy, and there is nothing wrong
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: with the economy except high oil and gas prices, is
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: the fault of exclusively Donald Trump.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: I can tell you, in states like New York and California.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: energy costs and electricity costs were going 60, 50% above
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: the national average way before.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: The war in Iran.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Yes, the war in Iran has elevated oil prices.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: There's no question.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Thank God that President Trump has also at the same
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: time pushed domestic energy production so hard Otherwise, we would
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: be in big trouble and we're not.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is, yes, one element that is causing concerns.
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: But Mark, when you have a conversation about affordability and
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: you look at the most, you know, these are easy
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: rankings to uncover. The most unaffordable places to live in America,
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: without exception, are run by Democrats. I don't mean just
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: run by Democrat mayors. When they take over a state
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: like California or New Jersey or New York and they
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: impose their policies of high taxes, tight regulations, anti-fossil fuel mandates,
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: et cetera, guess what?
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: You end up with unaffordable living.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: And that's those, it's really, I mean, it's genius that
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Democrats have co-opted this issue when they absolutely don't have
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: any credibility or should not have at all, right?
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're going to yell and scream about Trump
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: and $ 4. 30 for gas, How come you're right? They never
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: mentioned Gavin Newsom and his $ 8 gallon gas.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: Yes. Or high taxes.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Where do people think, if you're a company and you're
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: operating in New York or California, Illinois, New Jersey, it's
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: not just these two states, and you have high corporate taxes,
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: do people not understand that those taxes are not swallowed
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: by the business?
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: They're passed along in terms of higher prices.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: Don't they understand that if you delay and make very
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: cumbersome the act of building a home, that home prices
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: are probably 50 to 60 to 70% higher than they
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: would be in a state that is more flexible, more
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: permissive in terms of handing out permits. I will tell you,
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: I have been trying to add on to a house
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: in Westchester County in New York, a minor, minor adjustment
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: in this house. And it has taken months to get
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: a permit. And I got to tell you, I am
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: not alone. Everybody is bitching about the same thing.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: And guess what? Every day that you sit there and
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: it doesn't happen, the price goes up.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Well, it's seven days away. Everybody get out and vote early.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Early voting is important. Do it this week. You vote early.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: You can sail right in, breeze through, no lines.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Truth.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peek, brilliant as always. Everybody read her website, LizPeek.com.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Her columns, everything's up there. LizPeek.com. And thanks for being
• 32:26

  Speaker 5: Mark, thanks for having me on. Good luck. And, you know,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: make sure you go out and vote. We need you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. All right. Well, thanks. Take care.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Bye-bye. Thanks.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Everybody get out and vote. Do it today. Do it tomorrow.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: The early voting is the easiest. It's all about turnout.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: If Republicans turn out in great numbers, they win. It's
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: that simple. If they don't turn out in great numbers,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: they lose. So get out there and vote. Do the
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: early voting. Hey, coming up at noon, Buck Sexton and
• 32:57
