Latest / The Mark Simone Show / Hour 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle's actions.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Mark Simone on 710WOR. Well, hey, it's Columbus Day. The
- 0:08Speaker 1: parade beginning underway. Turned out it's going to be a
- 0:10Speaker 1: nice day for the parade. Fifth Avenue will be a
- 0:13Speaker 1: beautiful parade. Even better that Mom Donnie's not going to
- 0:16Speaker 1: be there. This will be a happier parade. These left-wingers,
- 0:23Speaker 1: you know, they hate Columbus. They want to tear down
- 0:25Speaker 1: the statues of Christopher Columbus. I don't know why they
- 0:27Speaker 1: would hate Columbus so much. He was He was the
- 0:30Speaker 1: first illegal migrant in the United States. He was here illegally,
- 0:34Speaker 1: so they should love the guy, you would think. Kimberly Guilfoyle. Well,
- 0:42Speaker 1: this is not a good situation. Kimberly Guilfoyle, formerly engaged
- 0:46Speaker 1: to Donald Trump Jr., formerly one of the co-hosts of
- 0:50Speaker 1: The Five on Fox News. Kimberly Guilfoyle, a friend of ours.
- 0:55Speaker 1: She's been on this show a lot and through the years.
- 1:02Speaker 1: It doesn't look good, these accusations. In fact, President Trump
- 1:06Speaker 1: and Secretary of State Rubio, her two bosses, are meeting
- 1:10Speaker 1: and discussing whether or not to get rid of her.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Reports are she may soon be fired. They don't like
- 1:19Speaker 1: her answers. Now remember, there have been earlier accusations of
- 1:24Speaker 1: things going on in Greece. It's very unusual for an
- 1:27Speaker 1: ambassador to get fired. But the earlier allegations were that
- 1:33Speaker 1: while in Greece as ambassador, she was helping out a
- 1:37Speaker 1: construction company. Their lobbyist was accompanying her to events. You know,
- 1:44Speaker 1: this happens whenever politicians and contractors get together. You know
- 1:49Speaker 1: what happens. Money changes hands. Things change. Well, And any
- 1:54Speaker 1: time a politician is around a lobbyist, a lobbyist wins
- 1:58Speaker 1: over politicians by giving you whatever the hell you want, money, women, whatever.
- 2:04Speaker 1: That's how they operate. So this doesn't look good, these
- 2:06Speaker 1: earlier allegations. So the latest is that she ran up
- 2:11Speaker 1: a lot of credit card debt, apparently owed $ 100, 000 on
- 2:15Speaker 1: her American Express bill. And there's a big Republican donor
- 2:20Speaker 1: who she was very friendly with. And she asked the
- 2:24Speaker 1: guy to pay off her American Express bill. He balked
- 2:27Speaker 1: at this. And the accusation is that she said to him,
- 2:32Speaker 1: you know, you could just wire the money to American Express.
- 2:35Speaker 1: There doesn't have to be any link between you and me,
- 2:37Speaker 1: no paper trail. Just wire the money directly to American Express.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And he didn't want to do that. Now, at one
- 2:44Speaker 1: point he said, if I do that, my wife will
- 2:46Speaker 1: leave me. Now, what does that mean? That the wife
- 2:50Speaker 1: suspects an affair? Or that the wife doesn't want him
- 2:54Speaker 1: wasting money paying her American Express bill. Well, who knows? Now,
- 2:57Speaker 1: the problem is, if you ask Kimberly Guilfoyle about this allegation,
- 3:05Speaker 1: she says, and this has happened with a few people,
- 3:09Speaker 1: she said, the money was never sent to American Express.
- 3:11Speaker 1: The money was never paid. Okay, but she doesn't ever say,
- 3:16Speaker 1: I never asked him for it. The problem would be
- 3:20Speaker 1: if she asked for it. if she tried to shake
- 3:22Speaker 1: down the donor. If that's true, that's the problem. So
- 3:25Speaker 1: in these denials, she just denies that the money was
- 3:28Speaker 1: ever sent. She doesn't deny asking for it. So we
- 3:32Speaker 1: don't really know what happened, but she doesn't deny it
- 3:34Speaker 1: in her answers. That's the problem. The donor's a little
- 3:38Speaker 1: slightly wacky, but he would have no reason to come
- 3:43Speaker 1: forward and make all these crazy statements. So apparently in
- 3:45Speaker 1: the White House, Rubio and President Trump extremely bothered by this,
- 3:51Speaker 1: extremely upset by it, and they are weighing her removal
- 3:56Speaker 1: right now. So that would be very, very unusual to
- 4:00Speaker 1: remove an ambassador like that. But it's not the first time.
- 4:04Speaker 1: They're getting these other allegations of her doing favors for
- 4:08Speaker 1: local companies and lobbyists and getting tangled up with that.
- 4:12Speaker 1: You know, normally you have to have a lot of
- 4:14Speaker 1: money to be the ambassador because you have to spend
- 4:17Speaker 1: all your own money. when you're the ambassador to a
- 4:20Speaker 1: big country, you go over there, you generally have to
- 4:23Speaker 1: spend a fortune fixing up the embassy. You got to
- 4:26Speaker 1: buy your own furniture, your own this, your own that,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and you fix up the embassy. Then main job of
- 4:32Speaker 1: an ambassador is throw these big parties and everything. Well,
- 4:34Speaker 1: you got to pay for them yourself. I know people
- 4:36Speaker 1: have been offered ambassadorships and turn it down. They don't
- 4:39Speaker 1: want to spend two, 3 million in another country being ambassadors.
- 4:43Speaker 1: A lot of guys don't mind. It's a big, a
- 4:45Speaker 1: big thrill for them. So, um, She apparently obviously doesn't
- 4:50Speaker 1: have a lot of money to throw around, but you
- 4:54Speaker 1: could also, if you did it the other way, you
- 4:56Speaker 1: could make a lot of money as ambassador. So we'll
- 4:59Speaker 1: see if she's removed. It could happen. If it's going
- 5:03Speaker 1: to happen, it could happen pretty soon. So these DSA idiots,
- 5:10Speaker 1: the democratic socialists, they're demanding all kinds of things. Now
- 5:14Speaker 1: they're demanding that Letitia James be fired. Not Letitia James,
- 5:18Speaker 1: excuse me. uh, Jessica Tisch, Jessica Tisch. They're demanding police commissioner,
- 5:24Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch be fired. They're not going to succeed with that, but, uh,
- 5:29Speaker 1: they're demanding it. Uh, why? Well, cause apparently she didn't
- 5:34Speaker 1: stop ice. I don't know what she could do to,
- 5:36Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do to stop them. Federal law
- 5:39Speaker 1: supersedes local law. If ice comes in, you can't stop them.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Federal law enforcement has authority over local law enforcement. So, uh,
- 5:49Speaker 1: It could be other things. It could be just the
- 5:51Speaker 1: general anti-Semitism of the Democratic Socialists. They don't want a
- 5:55Speaker 1: Jewish police commissioner. One of them, you know, this one
- 6:00Speaker 1: they all love, Avila Chevalier, left-wing kook. She's on with
- 6:06Speaker 1: Hassan Piker, another left-wing kook. And somebody points out to
- 6:10Speaker 1: her that this illegal that I shot is a very
- 6:16Speaker 1: bad guy. He's a career criminal. He's got all kinds
- 6:20Speaker 1: of terrible things on his rap sheet, robbery, all sorts
- 6:24Speaker 1: of stuff. And his neighbors now saying he was a maniac.
- 6:29Speaker 1: He would run around menacing everybody, often carrying a machete.
- 6:33Speaker 1: This is a really bad guy that they were trying
- 6:36Speaker 1: to get out of the country. So they brought all
- 6:39Speaker 1: this up to this Chevalier, this crazy democratic socialist. And
- 6:44Speaker 1: she's yelling, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter about his
- 6:47Speaker 1: criminal record. Doesn't matter to her. She said, I'm still
- 6:51Speaker 1: as angry as can be. Doesn't matter if he's a
- 6:54Speaker 1: gang member. So this is the way they think. There's
- 6:57Speaker 1: nothing you can do about this. Doesn't matter that he's
- 6:59Speaker 1: got a rap sheet. He's a criminal. Doesn't matter that
- 7:03Speaker 1: he's a gang member. Over and over again, she said
- 7:05Speaker 1: to Piker, to me, it doesn't matter. He needs to
- 7:08Speaker 1: be released. And that was the problem with Mamdani calling
- 7:12Speaker 1: Trump that night. He was on the phone with Homeland
- 7:15Speaker 1: Security officials. for two hours. He was on the phone
- 7:18Speaker 1: with Trump for two minutes, but he demanded they release
- 7:21Speaker 1: the guy. And apparently at some point Trump said, you
- 7:25Speaker 1: know what, we'll, we'll, okay, we'll release him and you
- 7:28Speaker 1: keep him in NYPD custody. And Mamdani said, that's not
- 7:32Speaker 1: what I mean. I want him released, released, like back
- 7:36Speaker 1: out on the streets. So of course, President Trump absolutely
- 7:40Speaker 1: would not do that. Absolutely not. Hey, you know, remember
- 7:45Speaker 1: Happy Days? Happy Days, Richie Cunningham, that was Ron Howard,
- 7:51Speaker 1: who went on to become a huge director. Fonzie was,
- 7:55Speaker 1: what's Fonzie's name? I'm blanking out. Henry Winkler. Henry Winkler,
- 8:01Speaker 1: of course, went on to, he's a very, very good actor.
- 8:03Speaker 1: He's done a lot of other acting, and he wrote
- 8:05Speaker 1: a very good book in the last few years. And
- 8:09Speaker 1: then there was Anson Williams. Who was he? He wasn't Pazzi,
- 8:13Speaker 1: he was the other guy. You know Anson Williams. He
- 8:15Speaker 1: was a big part of Happy Days. Did very well there.
- 8:22Speaker 1: And so now he's talking publicly about how he was
- 8:27Speaker 1: forced to create a second career because sitcoms don't pay enough.
- 8:32Speaker 1: But see, the problem is when you see people that
- 8:35Speaker 1: are on sitcoms, they were big stars on anything from
- 8:38Speaker 1: Seinfeld to The Dick Van Dyke Show to Cheers to whatever.
- 8:42Speaker 1: They're big stars. They were big cast members. they got
- 8:46Speaker 1: a lot of money to be on these shows, a
- 8:47Speaker 1: lot of money, but they don't get the royalties. They
- 8:50Speaker 1: don't get the residuals. So the show could run forever.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Even that old Dick Van Dyke show, whatever they said,
- 8:59Speaker 1: it's running for a million years. And if you created it,
- 9:03Speaker 1: all the money goes to whoever created it and owns
- 9:06Speaker 1: the show. They get the residuals, they get the royalties.
- 9:08Speaker 1: It's part of the deal. The actors get paid a
- 9:10Speaker 1: nice big salary, but they don't get royalties. So If
- 9:13Speaker 1: it's 30, 40 years later, they're still running Happy Days.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Anson Williams isn't getting anything. So he's 77 now. This
- 9:20Speaker 1: is what he's griping about, that he was forced to
- 9:23Speaker 1: have another career. But on the other hand, this is crazy,
- 9:27Speaker 1: spoiled Hollywood people. What person in the world gets paid
- 9:32Speaker 1: for the rest of their life from whatever job they
- 9:34Speaker 1: had in the 70s? If you had a job from 19,
- 9:36Speaker 1: when was Happy Days on? 75 to 82? If you
- 9:38Speaker 1: had a job back then, Why would it still be
- 9:44Speaker 1: paying you today? Once the job's over, you got to
- 9:46Speaker 1: go make more money doing something else. So the idea
- 9:49Speaker 1: that they think that they should get paid forever. Now,
- 9:54Speaker 1: of course, the argument in their defense is it's still
- 9:57Speaker 1: making money, that it's all over. television. They're still rerunning
- 10:01Speaker 1: it everywhere. So they should, why should the creator? Well,
- 10:05Speaker 1: get the money, but not, oh, that was the deal
- 10:07Speaker 1: you signed. It was Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld that
- 10:12Speaker 1: created Seinfeld. So they get royalties forever. And the company
- 10:16Speaker 1: that owns it, Castle Rock, they get royalties forever. The
- 10:19Speaker 1: deal with the actors was you get paid a salary.
- 10:22Speaker 1: It's a big salary every week. They made millions doing it.
- 10:26Speaker 1: But you have no ownership of it. That's the deal.
- 10:31Speaker 1: So that's the deal you sign. And I think the
- 10:35Speaker 1: idea is when you're a big star in that sitcom
- 10:38Speaker 1: and it puts you on the map, you're then supposed
- 10:40Speaker 1: to get other stuff after that. You're not supposed to
- 10:43Speaker 1: just sit back and rely on that. for the rest
- 10:45Speaker 1: of your life Ron Howard goes out and becomes a
- 10:48Speaker 1: huge director look at George Clooney he was on ER
- 10:53Speaker 1: remember he doesn't get any residuals for that but he
- 10:57Speaker 1: went on to have a huge career you gotta have
- 10:59Speaker 1: a career and do something else you know who got
- 11:01Speaker 1: the only one that got royalties of all the old
- 11:04Speaker 1: sitcom stars Audrey Meadows in 1954 when they decided to
- 11:10Speaker 1: do the Honeymooners and film them instead of just doing
- 11:14Speaker 1: them live she demanded royalties, residuals forever. Now, it was
- 11:20Speaker 1: unheard of at the time. And believe it or not,
- 11:22Speaker 1: in 1954, there was no such thing as rerunning old sitcoms.
- 11:27Speaker 1: That practice didn't exist yet. So they didn't know why
- 11:30Speaker 1: the hell she would want this. She had an agent.
- 11:33Speaker 1: What was his name? Irvin Arthur. Irvin Arthur. Never trust
- 11:39Speaker 1: a guy with two first names, but he was a
- 11:40Speaker 1: good guy. But He demanded the residuals, the royalties. They
- 11:44Speaker 1: didn't know what the hell they'd want that for, so
- 11:46Speaker 1: they gave it to her. And she was the only
- 11:49Speaker 1: one who got a fortune. Not even Jackie Gleason got
- 11:52Speaker 1: royalties on all that stuff. Somebody else owned it all.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So it was pretty good. Hey, Bill Maher going after
- 11:58Speaker 1: Cornell and actually saying they should get rid of fraternities.
- 12:05Speaker 1: After the Cornell 7, get rid of fraternities. He makes
- 12:09Speaker 1: the case. that any place that's all male is not
- 12:14Speaker 1: going to function well without depravity. Just ask the Catholic church.
- 12:19Speaker 1: He said, anything that's inherently all men, it's going to
- 12:22Speaker 1: get worse. You put men together in a fraternity. It's
- 12:25Speaker 1: not men really. It's like 18, 19, 20 year olds.
- 12:28Speaker 1: They're just kids. He said, it's just a recipe for disaster.
- 12:32Speaker 1: He may have a point there. You know, a fraternity,
- 12:35Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe in the 1950s, it was Ricky
- 12:39Speaker 1: Nelson and the, you know, barbershop quartets in the fraternity.
- 12:43Speaker 1: But in 2026, a bunch of guys in a fraternity,
- 12:47Speaker 1: it's just a recipe for disaster. Bill Maher saying, I'm
- 12:52Speaker 1: not pulling any punches just because I went to Cornell. Yeah,
- 12:56Speaker 1: he went to Cornell. You know, a lot of people
- 12:59Speaker 1: have to be careful now and don't want to admit
- 13:01Speaker 1: they went to Cornell. Hey, the news came this morning.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Ilan Omar's house has been raided. Department of Justice, Homeland Security,
- 13:11Speaker 1: They have raided her house looking for her papers, her documents.
- 13:15Speaker 1: It's believed she got here illegally, lied on an immigration paperwork.
- 13:22Speaker 1: So a raid took place this morning. A nice raid,
- 13:27Speaker 1: not like a Jack Smith raid where they had machine
- 13:29Speaker 1: guns and orders to use deadly force if necessary. None
- 13:34Speaker 1: of that. So, hey, Crazy Mom Donnie wants the NYPD
- 13:39Speaker 1: to use... A review, it's use of force policies. He
- 13:42Speaker 1: wants changes. This is not going to be good. Now,
- 13:47Speaker 1: the good news with him, again, he's mostly just talk.
- 13:49Speaker 1: He never actually gets anything done, but we'll see. Hey,
- 13:52Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. If you're a new caller,
- 13:55Speaker 1: we'd love to hear from you. 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 13:57Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
- 13:57Speaker 1: 0710. More Mark. Mark Simone.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Mr.
- 14:08Speaker 1: New York.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Larry in Cranford,
- 14:21Speaker 1: New Jersey. Larry, how you doing?
- 14:24Speaker 5: Hey, Mark.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Hi. You must remember it was a year, year and
- 14:26Speaker 3: a half ago when Elise Stefanik grilled Kathy Hochul, and
- 14:31Speaker 3: Hochul was.
- 14:33Speaker 2: You remember that?
- 14:34Speaker 1: Yeah, back in those congressional hearings.
- 14:36Speaker 6: Why aren't the Republicans using that footage for campaign ads?
- 14:43Speaker 3: They are crazy.
- 14:44Speaker 2: For not using that.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I don't know if they might be using them, but
- 14:46Speaker 1: if they do, they'll be using them upstate. They won't
- 14:48Speaker 1: be using them in the city. They should use it
- 14:51Speaker 1: all over because... Well, it doesn't work that way. You
- 14:54Speaker 1: waste a lot of money that way. You got to
- 14:57Speaker 1: target the ads to... Remember, it's not just New York City.
- 15:00Speaker 1: You're running ads in Buffalo for a Buffalo audience. You're
- 15:03Speaker 1: running ads in Syracuse for a Syracuse audience. Albany, they've
- 15:07Speaker 1: got their own TV stations. The stations here in New
- 15:10Speaker 1: York are only seen around the New York City area.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Let's go to Greg in Jersey City. Greg, how are
- 15:16Speaker 1: you doing?
- 15:17Speaker 3: Good.
- 15:18Speaker 7: It's interesting how residuals.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Greg, you've got to be within 6,000 feet of the phone.
- 15:24Speaker 1: You're like 500 miles from the phone. Nobody can hear
- 15:27Speaker 1: a word you're saying.
- 15:29Speaker 3: You can't hear me?
- 15:30Speaker 1: Now we can hear you. What were you doing before?
- 15:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Huh.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Okay. Look at this.
- 15:35Speaker 1: He's going to try to convince us that nothing changed. Obviously,
- 15:38Speaker 1: you weren't on the talking into the phone before.
- 15:41Speaker 3: All right. Fine. I was talking residuals and how they've
- 15:44Speaker 3: changed over the years.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:46Speaker 3: I did hear what Anson Williams was talking about. Yeah.
- 15:49Speaker 3: When you think about some of the stars like James
- 15:51Speaker 3: Garner or Jack Klugman or even Eric Estrada who had
- 15:55Speaker 3: to sue... their studio in order to get the residuals
- 15:59Speaker 3: they were promised.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Well, you've got to remember, it's different for everybody. If
- 16:03Speaker 1: you're James Garner, and he helped create the Rockford files,
- 16:06Speaker 1: he might have had a little piece of it. If
- 16:08Speaker 1: you're Eric Estrada, you're not going to have a piece
- 16:10Speaker 1: of chips. If they don't use you, they'll use somebody else.
- 16:14Speaker 1: You're not always entitled to these residuals.
- 16:17Speaker 3: But like Lou Majors, when he had the fall guy,
- 16:20Speaker 3: he actually got a producer credit.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Yeah, some people negotiate that. Dick Van Dyke actually got
- 16:26Speaker 1: a piece of the Dick Van Dyke show. But the
- 16:28Speaker 1: cast members don't get it. If you're one of the big,
- 16:30Speaker 1: big stars and they really want you, that's part of
- 16:33Speaker 1: the deal. They'll give you a little ownership. You'll get
- 16:35Speaker 1: a piece of the show. Let's go to Mike in St.
- 16:39Speaker 3: James.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Mike, how are you doing?
- 16:41Speaker 8: Fine, thank you. What's the matter?
- 16:44Speaker 1: It sounds like somebody's chasing you. You're out of breath.
- 16:46Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 16:48Speaker 8: If federal law supersedes state law, can't Donald tell the governor,
- 16:55Speaker 8: unless you start cooperating with ICE or withholding federal.
- 16:59Speaker 1: He's already done that. That's already happening. That's happening now.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Let's go to Pete in Bergen County. Pete, how you doing?
- 17:07Speaker 5: Yeah, Mark, hi. Do you remember the Jewish Defense League
- 17:10Speaker 5: with Mayor Ghani?
- 17:11Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Yeah, whatever happened to those guys? I think he got assassinated.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Kahani was assassinated at the hotel in Lexington. You know
- 17:21Speaker 1: I was supposed to be there that night. Somebody invited
- 17:23Speaker 1: me to go watch him speak. He was supposed to
- 17:26Speaker 1: be such an incredible speaker. They gave me the wrong hotel.
- 17:29Speaker 5: I kind of remember Channel 5 used to cover him
- 17:34Speaker 5: a little bit.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they gave me the wrong hotel. You know, Lexington,
- 17:38Speaker 1: like 50th, 49th, there's like four hotels in a row.
- 17:41Speaker 1: They gave me the wrong hotel. I got there too late.
- 17:44Speaker 1: He was already assassinated. Now, it turns out that some
- 17:49Speaker 1: of the lunatic terrorists who assassinated Maya Kahane had ties
- 17:57Speaker 1: to the people that bombed the World Trade Center a
- 18:00Speaker 1: few years later. There was actually a connection. It was
- 18:03Speaker 1: kind of the same cell. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris,
- 18:07Speaker 1: how are you doing? Good morning, Mark.
- 18:10Speaker 5: I'm okay.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Before we continue, he's going to panic and he's going to.
- 18:14Speaker 8: Say, we're going to lose the midterms.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Go ahead. Okay, we're going to lose the midterms.
- 18:19Speaker 6: We're going to lose the midterms. But listen, before you
- 18:22Speaker 6: were saying that even if we lose the Senate and
- 18:24Speaker 6: the House, Trump will be okay?
- 18:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:27Speaker 7: Who cares?
- 18:28Speaker 6: The country's going to be screwed.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Well, you'll still have Trump running the country. But you've
- 18:33Speaker 1: got to remember, do you do this with everything else
- 18:35Speaker 1: in life or is it just politics where everything's negative?
- 18:38Speaker 6: It's just politics because he's– listen, I voted for him
- 18:42Speaker 6: three times, but he's screwed up so badly in the
- 18:44Speaker 6: last six months.
- 18:45Speaker 1: And nobody's calling him out on it. In what way?
- 18:48Speaker 6: Okay, he started the Iran war without a way to
- 18:51Speaker 6: get out of it.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Well, there is a way to get out of it.
- 18:53Speaker 1: You've got to just finish it. He's holding off on
- 18:55Speaker 1: that until after the election. You had to do that
- 18:57Speaker 1: because you can't let them have a nuclear weapon.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Well, I agree, but they still have it, and we're
- 19:03Speaker 6: out of missiles.
- 19:04Speaker 2: And you're going to say we're not.
- 19:05Speaker 1: We're not out of missiles. We're not out of missiles.
- 19:08Speaker 1: We have plenty of missiles. See, part of the problem
- 19:11Speaker 1: is you fall for all this fake news.
- 19:17Speaker 6: So it's not true.
- 19:19Speaker 1: We have an unlimited.
- 19:20Speaker 6: Supply of missiles to give to everybody and protect ourselves.
- 19:24Speaker 1: We've got plenty of missiles. So if they print something
- 19:26Speaker 1: in the New York Times, you always fall for it.
- 19:28Speaker 1: That's the problem. No, no, I don't read the New
- 19:30Speaker 1: York Times.
- 19:30Speaker 6: Believe it or not, there's two shows I make a
- 19:33Speaker 6: point to listen to. It's you and somebody.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Else on Saturdays.
- 19:36Speaker 5: Who's the other one?
- 19:37Speaker 6: Dick Morris, but that's comedic.
- 19:40Speaker 1: No, Dick Morris is pretty good. Dick Morris.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I like the show.
- 19:44Speaker 6: I mean, last time I spoke to you, you said, oh,
- 19:46Speaker 6: I guarantee you he calls up every radio station and
- 19:48Speaker 6: complains about this and complains.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
- 19:51Speaker 5: You're it.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Sorry.
- 19:52Speaker 1: All right. You're my favorite show still. You can listen
- 19:55Speaker 1: to other shows. Sean Hannity's pretty good. Jimmy Fallon. You
- 19:59Speaker 1: ever listen to Jimmy Fallon?
- 20:00Speaker 6: I listen to shows that... The guys that come on
- 20:02Speaker 6: after you, I can't listen to that.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Well, they're doing pretty well. They've got 10 million listeners now.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Okay.
- 20:08Speaker 6: You know, a lot of it's out of loyalty to Rush.
- 20:10Speaker 6: But that show to me is like a lifestyle. I know, but.
- 20:15Speaker 1: They're doing the Rush show from Rush's studio with Rush's engineer.
- 20:20Speaker 1: It's Rush's team. The people that ran the Rush show
- 20:23Speaker 1: picked these two guys. So if you're going to be
- 20:25Speaker 1: loyal to Rush, you should be listening to them.
- 20:28Speaker 6: You remember the guy that used to fill in for Rush?
- 20:30Speaker 6: Sometimes he would say he was from Ice Station Zebra,
- 20:33Speaker 6: and I think it was an Australian actor.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that guy. He's a very good guy. He's
- 20:36Speaker 1: up in New Hampshire. I keep meaning to get him
- 20:38Speaker 1: on the show.
- 20:39Speaker 6: I mean, he was such a nice guy. If you
- 20:40Speaker 6: could get Michael Riedel back on, I mean, I don't
- 20:42Speaker 6: know what the circumstances were that he left.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I don't know, but Michael Riedel kind of disappeared. Yeah,
- 20:47Speaker 1: we'll track him down. Well, who's the guy that filled
- 20:48Speaker 1: in for Rush? Really nice guy. Very smart.
- 20:51Speaker 6: He was really nice. He was very smart. He was interesting.
- 20:56Speaker 1: We're going to get him back. I keep meaning to
- 20:58Speaker 1: call that guy and get him on the show. We'll
- 20:59Speaker 1: do that. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how
- 21:02Speaker 1: are you doing?
- 21:03Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. Mark, I don't know why,
- 21:07Speaker 7: given the fact that, as Michael Goodwin pointed out, that
- 21:10Speaker 7: Mayor Mondami has spit in the face of every ethnic
- 21:14Speaker 7: group that is not Indian or Muslim in the city
- 21:19Speaker 7: of New York, I don't know why Donald Trump continues
- 21:23Speaker 7: to kiss Mondami's ring. And before you say he has
- 21:26Speaker 7: business here, Mark, he has business here, but don't shoot
- 21:30Speaker 7: the line. His top managers and his children are running
- 21:34Speaker 7: his business. A caller called in Rob Astorino's show Saturday afternoon,
- 21:40Speaker 7: and she said the same thing. And Rob said that
- 21:44Speaker 7: Donald Trump has this desire to be liked. What is
- 21:49Speaker 7: there to be liked?
- 21:50Speaker 5: I think if.
- 21:50Speaker 1: You watch Donald Trump, he does not have a desire
- 21:53Speaker 1: to be liked. Nobody goes around making more enemies than
- 21:57Speaker 1: this guy.
- 21:58Speaker 7: Then why?
- 21:59Speaker 1: Why what?
- 22:00Speaker 7: Why kiss Mondami's ring?
- 22:02Speaker 1: He doesn't kiss his ring, but he does have a
- 22:05Speaker 1: desire to always make a deal with somebody. That's his first.
- 22:07Speaker 7: Make what deal? New York's in the worst shape.
- 22:10Speaker 1: But he's trying to make a deal. Well, that's all
- 22:11Speaker 1: the more reason.
- 22:13Speaker 7: Me personally? I haven't benefited from the Trump presidency one iota.
- 22:19Speaker 7: And in fact.
- 22:20Speaker 5: Well, you actually have.
- 22:21Speaker 1: No, I haven't. Yeah, you have, actually.
- 22:23Speaker 5: How?
- 22:24Speaker 7: How have I benefited? There's no illegals in my neighborhood. Oh,
- 22:28Speaker 7: the only thing that Trump hasn't done in my neighborhood,
- 22:32Speaker 7: it's filled with illegal construction workers everywhere.
- 22:38Speaker 1: All right, but we'll get you Joe Biden back. Will
- 22:40Speaker 1: that make you happy?
- 22:41Speaker 7: I was paying for my fuel and energy. I was
- 22:44Speaker 7: paying much less money.
- 22:45Speaker 5: How about that?
- 22:46Speaker 1: Actually, during the Biden administration, it was.
- 22:49Speaker 7: Donald Trump, when I last pulled up my car a
- 22:52Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago, it was $ 4.
- 22:54Speaker 2: 69.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Okay, but remember, a dollar of that is state and local.
- 22:57Speaker 1: That's not all, Trump. You can't blame... Mark, please. Anyway, Vincent,
- 23:00Speaker 1: there's no winning this argument. Since it's impossible to win
- 23:03Speaker 1: the argument, we must end it immediately because we got
- 23:06Speaker 1: to go to John McLaughlin.
- 23:07Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
- 23:07Speaker 1: He's coming up next. The greatest pollster in the world.
- 23:10Speaker 1: John McLaughlin just ahead on 710WOR.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Well, you know, you see all these fake polls, these
- 23:24Speaker 4: media college polls, just terrible, fake, flimsy, stupid polls.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Now, the real stuff is behind the scenes. It's what
- 23:30Speaker 1: the candidates use. The real polls, deadly accurate. The best
- 23:35Speaker 1: pollster in the world is John McLaughlin. And his website
- 23:39Speaker 1: is McLaughlinOnline.com. John McLaughlin, how are you doing?
- 23:44Speaker 8: I'm doing well.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Not getting much sleep. 22 days out from the election. So,
- 23:50Speaker 2: a lot of close races out there.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Would you say, as far as the overall midterms, it's
- 23:54Speaker 1: too close to call right now?
- 23:56Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Because even with the bad polls, I mean,
- 24:00Speaker 2: there's a lot of polls out there that are definitely
- 24:02Speaker 2: undercounting Republicans. I mean, just in New York. I mean,
- 24:06Speaker 2: you got to look at what happened with these college
- 24:09Speaker 2: polls last week. You had Marist poll came out. And
- 24:13Speaker 2: when you go into the internals of demographics, they have 59%
- 24:17Speaker 2: white voters. They have 41 non-whites. They don't break apart
- 24:20Speaker 2: Hispanics or they don't break apart African-Americans. But the actual
- 24:25Speaker 2: turnout four years ago in New York was 76% white.
- 24:28Speaker 2: And if you go to Siena, Siena was, they had
- 24:31Speaker 2: Bruce within nine like a month ago. So this poll
- 24:39Speaker 2: had Bruce down double digits, but when you adjust it
- 24:41Speaker 2: to what it should be by race, he's only down
- 24:44Speaker 2: 50 to 44. And Emerson did the same thing with
- 24:48Speaker 2: their poll. They come out with a poll that they text.
- 24:50Speaker 2: They don't even use live interviews. And they had him
- 24:54Speaker 2: down double digits, but if you adjust it by race properly,
- 24:57Speaker 2: because they had 62% white, and they had oversampled the African-Americans, Asians,
- 25:04Speaker 2: and Hispanics, and if you adjust it, It would only
- 25:06Speaker 2: be 48, 44. So what you're seeing nationally and what
- 25:10Speaker 2: you're seeing in New York State is they try to
- 25:13Speaker 2: sandbag us, where they're trying to affect turnout. They know midterms,
- 25:16Speaker 2: you don't get the usual turnout. You get, like in
- 25:19Speaker 2: a presidential year, you got 155 million voters. In New York,
- 25:23Speaker 2: you got 9 million. In a midterm election, in 2022,
- 25:29Speaker 2: you got 112 million.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Voters come out.
- 25:31Speaker 2: And in New York, you had just under 6 million
- 25:34Speaker 2: come out. So it's a turnout game. So if they
- 25:37Speaker 2: can convince people that the Republicans aren't doing as well,
- 25:42Speaker 2: it could hurt the donations. But it's certainly, they're trying
- 25:45Speaker 2: to sandbag the voters into don't come out and vote
- 25:48Speaker 2: because your guy's not going to win. And that's going
- 25:50Speaker 2: on with the national polls. And you have, it's a
- 25:52Speaker 2: toss-up election. You have nine Senate races that are all
- 25:57Speaker 2: considered dead even. I find it hard to believe that
- 26:00Speaker 2: Alaska and Nebraska are, and Kansas and Ohio and some
- 26:04Speaker 2: of these other states are going to go for the
- 26:06Speaker 2: Democrats because I've worked in Texas with Tallarico. I mean,
- 26:09Speaker 2: the guy disappears. And the New York Times says it's
- 26:13Speaker 2: a close race, but they only have Trump voters plus
- 26:16Speaker 2: seven in their poll. We won by 14 when I
- 26:19Speaker 2: was doing the polling for President Trump. We won 56
- 26:22Speaker 2: to 42. So somewhere along the line, they're under-polling Trump
- 26:26Speaker 2: voters and Republicans in all these polls. And they're just,
- 26:30Speaker 2: you know, but we know it's a toss-up race. And
- 26:32Speaker 2: the voters will come out. I mean, the voters that
- 26:34Speaker 2: care about the election will definitely come out.
- 26:36Speaker 1: You know, it's a fascinating phenomenon. These people, you know,
- 26:39Speaker 1: smart people, you know, your doctor, lawyer, you know, they're
- 26:42Speaker 1: quoting these polls. You could show them how rigged the
- 26:45Speaker 1: metrics are that Republicans are only 23 percent of the sample.
- 26:48Speaker 1: They should be 38 percent. You could show them the
- 26:51Speaker 1: whole thing. The next day they're quoting the polls again.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Nothing changes. What is this phenomenon? They keep believing these polls.
- 26:59Speaker 2: It's the media.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I mean, think about it.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I mean, more, you know, you say nice things about
- 27:04Speaker 2: me polling, but as long as Donald Trump, you know,
- 27:07Speaker 2: is the president, I'll, I'll accept it because back in 2015,
- 27:11Speaker 2: when we met at Larry Kudlow's house for, for an event, um,
- 27:15Speaker 2: you said, you said, do you think Trump could win?
- 27:17Speaker 2: I said, absolutely. He's going to win. And by the way,
- 27:21Speaker 2: you know, in that election, um, It was like, it
- 27:26Speaker 2: was closer. It wasn't from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and some of.
- 27:30Speaker 1: These other states.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Um, we wouldn't have, I mean, we won by the
- 27:34Speaker 2: electoral vote majority and then, but in 2024, um, we
- 27:39Speaker 2: definitely had a campaign where we were focused on going
- 27:41Speaker 2: around the media and through the media directly to the voters.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Like we would, you know, if you went to a
- 27:47Speaker 2: Trump rally, you might get a hundred thousand people there
- 27:51Speaker 2: in 2024. But everybody that wanted to go sent us
- 27:54Speaker 2: their emails and they sent us their texts, their phones,
- 27:57Speaker 2: cell phones, which meant that we had their information that
- 28:00Speaker 2: we could email or text for free like a million
- 28:04Speaker 2: people and tell them to contact their friends. So you're
- 28:06Speaker 2: reaching millions of people.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Now, just explain that. And you don't have to deal
- 28:09Speaker 1: with the media. People might not realize one reason he's
- 28:11Speaker 1: doing the rallies. If 30,000 people show up, that's where
- 28:14Speaker 1: they get the names, addresses. That's where they get them registered,
- 28:17Speaker 1: make sure they turn out. So that's kind of the
- 28:19Speaker 1: ground game too, right?
- 28:21Speaker 2: Yes, and you tell your friends, and it's a high-tech
- 28:24Speaker 2: game where President Trump, going back to 2016, I remember
- 28:29Speaker 2: telling him on Election Day, it's a dead-even race. Don't
- 28:31Speaker 2: believe these Hillary Locke polls. You need to go on
- 28:34Speaker 2: talk radio here. You need to go to the state.
- 28:36Speaker 2: You need to do these things, and don't quit until
- 28:39Speaker 2: the polls close. And he was able to do that.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I mean, he was reaching millions, tens of millions of
- 28:45Speaker 2: people on Facebook, even on Election Day. So now the
- 28:49Speaker 2: technology is coming even farther. faster and he has his
- 28:53Speaker 2: own true social media and you have uh um you
- 28:57Speaker 2: have things like tiktok and you have other other ways
- 29:00Speaker 2: to get to to voters that uh you know it's
- 29:03Speaker 2: it's uh it's it's instantaneous almost and and and so
- 29:08Speaker 2: it's but you go you go around the media because
- 29:11Speaker 2: I mean, the Media Research Center has done studies where
- 29:15Speaker 2: over 90% of the media we get from the establishment, legacy,
- 29:18Speaker 2: old stream, old blame media is negative. It's like, you know,
- 29:23Speaker 2: I mean, we did a poll. We did a poll
- 29:25Speaker 2: in June where we asked people if they approve or
- 29:27Speaker 2: disapprove of the ceasefire with Iran. And the majority of
- 29:30Speaker 2: voters did approve of the ceasefire, except if they watch
- 29:34Speaker 2: CNN or MSNBC, they disapproved of a ceasefire because it
- 29:39Speaker 2: was Donald Trump.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Ceasefire.
- 29:43Speaker 1: You also have been the pollster for years for Bibi Netanyahu.
- 29:46Speaker 1: People may not realize he's up for reelection. How does
- 29:49Speaker 1: it look for him?
- 29:50Speaker 2: It's very close. In Israeli elections, it's a multi-party system. So, uh,
- 29:56Speaker 2: it's very complex in terms of, they have 120 members
- 30:00Speaker 2: running for, uh, running for, uh, the Knesset and, uh,
- 30:04Speaker 2: you have to get a majority of over 60. Four
- 30:06Speaker 2: years ago, our polls were dead on, but they didn't,
- 30:09Speaker 2: they didn't, you know, we didn't get the majority. They
- 30:12Speaker 2: didn't recognize it in their media polls until the very
- 30:15Speaker 2: end where we were able to win the majority. And, uh, and, and,
- 30:20Speaker 2: you know, I've had closer election. I've worked for him
- 30:22Speaker 2: since 2003 and he's, He's an amazing figure.
- 30:27Speaker 1: In world history.
- 30:30Speaker 2: I mean, he's just amazing. But right now, it's showing
- 30:34Speaker 2: the usual where it's a battle between his party and Yesher,
- 30:39Speaker 2: which is a new party.
- 30:41Speaker 1: But he's gaining.
- 30:42Speaker 2: And the question is, will they do what they did
- 30:45Speaker 2: in 2021, where the opposition tossed in with the Arab
- 30:49Speaker 2: parties to create a majority to.
- 30:53Speaker 5: Get rid of him?
- 30:54Speaker 2: And the fellow Bennett who's running again now, his party's
- 30:58Speaker 2: not one of the leaders, but it's there. But he's
- 31:02Speaker 2: still in with the opposition where they may go back
- 31:05Speaker 2: in with the Arab parties to get Bibi out of there,
- 31:09Speaker 2: but probably won't work. So it's going to be close
- 31:12Speaker 2: right to the end. You've got two weeks to go
- 31:14Speaker 2: in that election.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Before we run out of time, Bruce Blakeman, tomorrow night's
- 31:19Speaker 1: his debate with Kathy Hochul. Unfortunately, it's on New York One,
- 31:22Speaker 1: which has like 12 viewers. So how does it look
- 31:25Speaker 1: for Bruce Blakeman right now?
- 31:26Speaker 2: It looks good. That's why I mentioned those two polls.
- 31:29Speaker 2: I mean, if they were done accurately, he'd be within
- 31:32Speaker 2: a handful of points or someplace between four and six points.
- 31:36Speaker 2: So you can say so. And that's amazing in a
- 31:39Speaker 2: two to one Democrat state. What the difference in New
- 31:41Speaker 2: York is, is that Mayor Mondami and Kathy Hochul.
- 31:46Speaker 1: I mean, four years.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Ago when when Hochul was running against Zeldin, people didn't
- 31:50Speaker 2: think that, you know, they were thinking, well, we may
- 31:52Speaker 2: not like her.
- 31:53Speaker 1: But she won.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Now they know they don't like her. Her negatives are
- 31:57Speaker 2: driving the race, where in most of the suburbs in
- 32:00Speaker 2: our borough, she has a 60% unfavorable rating. Upstate, she has,
- 32:04Speaker 2: I mean, Bruce could win Erie County, her home county.
- 32:07Speaker 2: And Mayor Mondami, she created this guy. And basically, her
- 32:13Speaker 2: and him have a plan to raise taxes by billions
- 32:17Speaker 2: of dollars in New York State. I mean, they've done
- 32:19Speaker 2: that tax on second homes. But Mondami wants a property
- 32:22Speaker 2: tax of 9.5% on all the homes in New York City,
- 32:26Speaker 2: all the real estate in New York City. They also
- 32:28Speaker 2: want to have surcharges on corporations to kill jobs, 2%.
- 32:34Speaker 2: They want to have a surcharge on income tax, they say,
- 32:38Speaker 2: above $ 300, 000. They also want to lower the threshold for
- 32:42Speaker 2: the death tax. This is in the DSA, the Democrat
- 32:44Speaker 2: Socialist America platform. It's unclear whether it's $ 300, 000 or $ 750, 000.
- 32:50Speaker 2: But right now, the death tax for estates doesn't go
- 32:52Speaker 2: into effect until a multi-million, like $ 7 million level. They
- 32:57Speaker 2: want to lower it to $ 750, 000. So your home, farms,
- 33:01Speaker 2: small businesses will be subject to millionaire's death taxes. I mean,
- 33:06Speaker 2: they would kill New York State. And they're keeping this
- 33:09Speaker 2: all secret in the media. That's why they want to
- 33:11Speaker 2: debate in the closet. All these taxes, all the utility
- 33:15Speaker 2: bill increases, and plus Mondami wants to shut Rikers Island
- 33:18Speaker 2: and release thousands of more criminals. They want to keep
- 33:21Speaker 2: all that quiet until 22 days from now, and then
- 33:25Speaker 2: it'll be like, you know, without Bruce getting elected, there'll
- 33:29Speaker 2: be no check and balance on that.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Well, John McLaughlin, keep up the good work. Everybody go
- 33:33Speaker 1: to his website, McLaughlinOnline.com, McLaughlinOnline.com, the world's greatest pollster. John McLaughlin,
