0:00
Speaker 1: This is The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
0:03
Speaker 2: Hey, it's almost Friday. It's Thursday. Almost Friday. A lot
0:10
Speaker 2: to get to today. There's going to be a lot
0:13
Speaker 2: of trouble in Alaska. People are going to go to jail.
0:16
Speaker 2: We'll get to Bruce Blakeman and Kathy Hochul. We'll get
0:20
Speaker 2: to the Ukraine. We've got a lot to cover today.
0:23
Speaker 2: We'll get to congestion pricing and a whole lot more.
0:27
Speaker 2: Don't forget, this weekend... A lot of stuff is happening.
0:31
Speaker 2: Saturday night is Halloween. We've got that going on. Then Saturday,
0:36
Speaker 2: 2 a.m., we go off daylight saving time. So at
0:41
Speaker 2: 2 a.m., it'll become 1 a.m. You get an extra
0:44
Speaker 2: hour of sleep Saturday night. And then Sunday morning, you'll
0:47
Speaker 2: wake up to the Marathon, which will cause traffic problems
0:52
Speaker 2: all over New York City, every borough. So Sunday, don't
0:55
Speaker 2: even think of driving into New York City. If you're
0:58
Speaker 2: thinking of coming in, remember the Marathon. will be going
1:00
Speaker 2: on all over the place, and that, of course, a
1:03
Speaker 2: lot of security. Police Commissioner Tisch.
1:06
Speaker 3: As for the logistics on Sunday, spectators entering designated marathon
1:10
Speaker 3: viewing areas in Central Park should know that bags are
1:14
Speaker 3: subject to inspection. Prohibited items include coolers, oversized bags, chairs, umbrellas, and,
1:21
Speaker 3: of course, all weapons. Additionally, the use of drones is prohibited,
1:25
Speaker 3: given the complex threat environment.
1:28
Speaker 2: Now, you know, they do this. No umbrellas. You're not
1:31
Speaker 2: allowed to bring an umbrella. But if it rains, if
1:36
Speaker 2: it's raining, you've got to stand out there without an umbrella.
1:38
Speaker 2: And the forecast is for no rain. The forecast is
1:40
Speaker 2: for nice, clear, dry skies for the next four or
1:43
Speaker 2: five days. So the marathon will be on Sunday. And
1:46
Speaker 2: don't forget, it's going to get dark at 5 o'clock,
1:48
Speaker 2: maybe even a few minutes earlier. So these are the
1:51
Speaker 2: last couple days of staying light out until 6 o'clock. Hey,
1:56
Speaker 2: in Alaska... This is one of the dirtiest political tricks
2:00
Speaker 2: you can do. It's been done before, but this is
2:02
Speaker 2: on a big scale. And this is going to end
2:05
Speaker 2: up with prosecutions. People most likely will go to jail
2:09
Speaker 2: over this. The Democrat candidate in Alaska, Mary Peltola, is
2:15
Speaker 2: running against a guy named Dan Sullivan. He's the Republican candidate,
2:19
Speaker 2: Dan Sullivan. So what they did It's a common name.
2:25
Speaker 2: They went out and found a couple of other Dan Sullivans,
2:28
Speaker 2: not politicians. One's a teacher, one's a plumber, one's a this,
2:32
Speaker 2: one's a... And they somehow got them on the ballot.
2:36
Speaker 2: So when you go to vote, there's Mary Peltola and
2:42
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of Dan Sullivans. So Republicans going to
2:47
Speaker 2: vote for Dan Sullivan might hit this one, they might
2:49
Speaker 2: hit that one, they could hit this one. That would
2:51
Speaker 2: end up splitting the vote up on the Republican side,
2:54
Speaker 2: making it easier, much easier for the Democrat to win.
3:00
Speaker 2: It's fraud. Legal scholars have looked at this as absolutely fraud.
3:05
Speaker 2: President Trump is going to go after Peltola and everybody
3:11
Speaker 2: on the campaign that was involved in it. Now they
3:13
Speaker 2: denied having anything to do with this other Dan Sullivan.
3:15
Speaker 2: They kept denying and denying and denying. The New York
3:19
Speaker 2: Times has come out with a massive expose with documents,
3:24
Speaker 2: with proof, with phone calls, with texts proving they were
3:27
Speaker 2: behind it, proving her staff took great pains and made
3:33
Speaker 2: a great effort to make this happen. It's absolutely proven
3:37
Speaker 2: in the New York Times article. How'd they get all
3:39
Speaker 2: this information? Well, the Totala campaign got into fights with them,
3:44
Speaker 2: and they ended up firing a campaign manager. They fired her.
3:49
Speaker 2: So she took all this stuff and went to the
3:51
Speaker 2: New York Times and gave it to them. So they
3:53
Speaker 2: are all caught. Now, definitely the campaign staff that did this,
3:58
Speaker 2: they're going to get prosecuted. U.S. attorney will come after them.
4:02
Speaker 2: The Alaska state governor is now talking about opening up
4:06
Speaker 2: an investigation into them. This is out and out voter fraud.
4:12
Speaker 2: And if they're convicted, these people most likely will go
4:14
Speaker 2: to prison for this. Again, top legal scholars have looked
4:18
Speaker 2: at it, said it's absolutely, absolutely fraud, President Trump.
4:22
Speaker 4: They said they didn't do it and we caught them cold.
4:25
Speaker 4: And Mary Peltola should resign from the race. I think
4:30
Speaker 4: she should be prosecuted criminally for what she did.
4:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the Justice Department has gone ahead with it.
4:35
Speaker 2: Alaska locals are going to prosecute. So that's a fraud.
4:38
Speaker 4: It's a fraud to the public. And they had a
4:41
Speaker 4: Dan Sullivan running against Senator Dan Sullivan. And they didn't
4:45
Speaker 4: put Senator in front. She had two Dan Sullivans. The
4:48
Speaker 4: people aren't going to be able to tell.
4:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's out and out fraud. She is denying any
4:54
Speaker 2: knowledge of it. It's slightly possible. that when they did this,
4:58
Speaker 2: the campaign guys did this, they deliberately, she obviously knew
5:02
Speaker 2: something was going on, but sometimes in a campaign, they'll say,
5:05
Speaker 2: we're taking care of it. We can't let you know
5:07
Speaker 2: the details, but we're taking care. So it could have
5:09
Speaker 2: been something like that possibly, but most likely she was involved.
5:12
Speaker 2: This is her.
5:14
Speaker 5: I have every confidence that Alaskan voters know what they're doing.
5:18
Speaker 5: And I believe in the rule of law and free
5:21
Speaker 5: and fair elections. And I have all the faith that
5:24
Speaker 5: this is going to get sorted out in the right way.
5:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, which means she'll get prosecuted, a good chance of
5:30
Speaker 2: going to prison, and that's how it'll get sorted out. Now,
5:35
Speaker 2: if she wins and they'll look at the Dan Sullivan votes,
5:39
Speaker 2: if they were split up enough to cause a Dan
5:42
Speaker 2: Sullivan loss, they'll most likely void the whole election. The
5:46
Speaker 2: other problem in Alaska, it's the stupid ranked choice voting,
5:51
Speaker 2: which would make the whole thing even more confusing. So expect...
5:56
Speaker 2: Some serious legal action in this case. President Trump every
6:01
Speaker 2: day flying to another state, another city, another town, running
6:04
Speaker 2: around the country doing these rallies. Today, he's going to
6:07
Speaker 2: do a couple, but there'll be Zoom, tele-rallies. Not actually Zoom,
6:12
Speaker 2: but high-quality, high-def television rallies. The reason he's not going
6:17
Speaker 2: in person, he's going to stay in the White House.
6:19
Speaker 2: Tonight is the big Halloween stuff. at the White House
6:23
Speaker 2: for kids and families. That's a big, big thing going
6:27
Speaker 2: on tonight. A election is five days away. Five days away.
6:33
Speaker 2: Hard to believe, just five days away. Now, they're pushing
6:36
Speaker 2: these fake polls, these college polls, these media polls that
6:40
Speaker 2: are totally rigged. The Republicans, they brought it down to 20%
6:45
Speaker 2: of the sample. 80% of the sample are Democrats. They
6:48
Speaker 2: don't use voters. They don't use the right demos. They
6:52
Speaker 2: totally rigged the polls to get these results. Bruce Blakeman
6:55
Speaker 2: and Kathy Hochul, the candidates, pay a fortune for real polling,
6:59
Speaker 2: the real polls. The real polls have them both pretty
7:03
Speaker 2: much tied within the margin of error. And that's why
7:07
Speaker 2: you've seen Hochul go into total panic in the last
7:10
Speaker 2: week or two, running millions and millions and millions of
7:15
Speaker 2: dollars of attack ads against Blakeman. And then she got
7:19
Speaker 2: a lot of criticism from Well, first of all, the
7:22
Speaker 2: attack ads, they couldn't find anything to really attack Blakeman
7:25
Speaker 2: on except that he's friends with Donald Trump. That's about
7:27
Speaker 2: all they came up with. And then they doctored up
7:30
Speaker 2: some things where he wants to get rid of your
7:32
Speaker 2: Medicare and the things that weren't true. And then she
7:35
Speaker 2: got a lot of flack for not having any positive ads.
7:37
Speaker 2: What about your accomplishments? Well, she came out with positive
7:43
Speaker 2: ads for her accomplishment. The only accomplishment you see in
7:45
Speaker 2: the ad, something she did to help the menu in
7:48
Speaker 2: the school lunches. That was it. So Blakeman is, you know,
7:53
Speaker 2: he's fighting these fake polls. They're called suppression polls. They
7:57
Speaker 2: put them out to make it look like it's hopeless
8:00
Speaker 2: so that Republicans don't bother to come out and vote.
8:04
Speaker 2: And by the way, early voting is going crazy, especially
8:08
Speaker 2: here in New York. It's up 40 percent from last time.
8:14
Speaker 2: So huge numbers are coming out early voting. Now, the
8:17
Speaker 2: thing is, that's most likely Democrats voting. It's Democrats that
8:21
Speaker 2: mostly do the early voting. Republicans, whatever reason, they always
8:25
Speaker 2: wait till election day. So change that. There's heavy Democrat turnout.
8:30
Speaker 2: So if you want Blakeman to win, it's very important
8:32
Speaker 2: for New York. Get out there and vote now. Today, tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday,
8:38
Speaker 2: do the early voting. You'll be glad you did because
8:41
Speaker 2: you won't wait in line. It's real easy. You just
8:43
Speaker 2: sail right through. Bruce Blakeman on the polls.
8:46
Speaker 6: The dirty tricks have started already. We knew it was common.
8:50
Speaker 6: They want to suppress all of our voters, so they
8:53
Speaker 6: talk about polls from woke universities that say we're behind.
8:58
Speaker 5: Yeah.
8:59
Speaker 2: And it's an amazing whole system they've put together. They
9:05
Speaker 2: put out the fake poll. The New York Times will
9:07
Speaker 2: quote it. You could even be watching TV and watching
9:10
Speaker 2: that Robert Moses, that very left-wing slanted reporter on Channel 5,
9:15
Speaker 2: and he said, this poll shows definitely 15 points. He's
9:20
Speaker 2: never looked at the metrics in the poll, never saw
9:23
Speaker 2: that it was a poll of mostly Democrats. They forgot
9:26
Speaker 2: to put Republicans in the sample. You can see that
9:28
Speaker 2: when you look in the metrics, what they call the crosstabs.
9:31
Speaker 6: We can win this thing if people get out to vote.
9:34
Speaker 6: Because remember, if good people don't vote, you get bad laws.
9:39
Speaker 6: And that's what we've got in this state.
9:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, get out and vote. That's the whole key. If
9:43
Speaker 2: you're saying to yourself, how did Mamdani get it? Because
9:45
Speaker 2: only about 4% of New York showed up to vote.
9:48
Speaker 2: Everybody get out there and vote. Kathy Hochul responds on this.
9:51
Speaker 7: That's a novel approach to how you read polls since
9:56
Speaker 7: we've had polls in this country since about 1822. and
9:59
Speaker 7: I never heard them being uh defined as something that's
10:04
Speaker 7: intended to suppress people getting out to vote so that's
10:06
Speaker 7: that's a new one that's a new one uh so
10:09
Speaker 7: I I will dismiss that outrageous claim.
10:11
Speaker 2: All right now that's one reason you should vote against
10:14
Speaker 2: her she actually knows that everything she's saying is a
10:17
Speaker 2: preposterous lie She's got her own real polls. She'd pay
10:21
Speaker 2: a fortune for these internal polls. You can see the
10:23
Speaker 2: public polls are a million miles away from the real polls.
10:27
Speaker 2: And she knows. She's seen the metrics in the real polls.
10:30
Speaker 2: She knows how it works. So that's an out-and-out life.
10:33
Speaker 2: She'd lie to you that just blatantly. And did you
10:36
Speaker 2: see how sincere she sounded when she lied? That should
10:39
Speaker 2: scare you a little, that she sounded that sincere lying.
10:43
Speaker 2: uh her whole campaign is yelling and screaming trump trump
10:46
Speaker 2: trump trump all.
10:47
Speaker 7: The promises that were made by donald trump and repeated
10:50
Speaker 7: by bruce blakeman who says he's going to cut medicaid
10:53
Speaker 7: in half and he's going to cut utility bills in
10:56
Speaker 7: half on day one he's going to drive down price
10:58
Speaker 7: none of this happens and i think what people saw
11:00
Speaker 7: with donald trump is he says anything to get elected
11:04
Speaker 7: you know see the parallels here in new york state
11:05
Speaker 7: say anything to get elected.
11:06
Speaker 2: All right but uh it's never going to happen it's
11:11
Speaker 2: happened Cut the electric bills by hundreds and hundreds of
11:15
Speaker 2: dollars a month. It's happened before. It's easy to do.
11:18
Speaker 2: You just open up the fracking. It's natural gas. It's
11:23
Speaker 2: the cleanest, safest kind of energy. It's all kinds of
11:26
Speaker 2: things you do. You get rid of all the increases,
11:29
Speaker 2: the taxes on your energy. You know, they keep talking
11:31
Speaker 2: about gas prices. What's the effect of a higher, slightly
11:35
Speaker 2: higher gas price? Well, you could pay an extra $ 100
11:37
Speaker 2: a month or $ 150 a month. But with your electric bill,
11:42
Speaker 2: you're paying an extra $ 300 a month thanks to Kathy
11:45
Speaker 2: Hochul and her buddy Cuomo there. Shut down Indian Point.
11:48
Speaker 2: That was 25% of our electricity. Bans fracking. You know,
11:54
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, it's booming because they've got the fracking. Their
11:57
Speaker 2: electric bills are nothing there. I mean, if you're going
12:00
Speaker 2: to talk about gas prices, you've got to talk about
12:02
Speaker 2: your electric bill. Those combined are the energy costs. And
12:07
Speaker 2: she talks about affordability. You got to remember, Democrats have
12:12
Speaker 2: controlled every inch of New York for 15 years. City Hall,
12:16
Speaker 2: City Council, Albany, State Legislature, Governor's Mansion, 15 years total
12:21
Speaker 2: control by the Democrats. So if there's an affordability crisis,
12:26
Speaker 2: it's on them. They caused it. So why would you
12:29
Speaker 2: keep them there if they're the ones that caused it?
12:31
Speaker 2: You tried them for 15 years. And by their own admission,
12:35
Speaker 2: there's an affordability crisis. There's a crime problem. There's this problem. Hey,
12:39
Speaker 2: there's a lot of flack now about Kathy Hochul yesterday.
12:44
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman has said if he's elected, he'll get rid
12:47
Speaker 2: of this congestion pricing the day after the election. And
12:51
Speaker 2: it has come out that if Hochul is reelected, she
12:54
Speaker 2: plans to bring the congestion pricing to everybody. It's going
12:59
Speaker 2: to go to Brooklyn. It's going to go to Queens.
13:02
Speaker 2: It's going to go everywhere. You're going to have it
13:03
Speaker 2: all over the place. It's going to go to. Albany
13:05
Speaker 2: and Rochester and Syracuse. So she comes out with these
13:09
Speaker 2: fake studies that traffic is 12% lower, 17% lower. People
13:16
Speaker 2: are able to drive 10 miles an hour fast. Well,
13:19
Speaker 2: none of this is true. This is completely false. The
13:24
Speaker 2: trucking industry, they've got their own numbers because the trucks
13:28
Speaker 2: all have GPS. They've got all kinds of things in
13:32
Speaker 2: the truck that measure all of this. And according to
13:36
Speaker 2: their numbers, there has been no drop in traffic at all.
13:40
Speaker 2: She claims it's cut by 11%. They actually show nothing.
13:44
Speaker 2: There's been no change in traffic. And you know that
13:47
Speaker 2: if you've been driving in New York or if you
13:49
Speaker 2: live in New York. You look out the window at
13:50
Speaker 2: the streets. There's been no change in traffic. Congestion pricing
13:54
Speaker 2: has done absolutely nothing to fix anything. It's just a
13:58
Speaker 2: cheap money grab. This slimeball that runs the MTA, Jano Lieber,
14:03
Speaker 2: that's Hochul's guy there, put out a statement saying it's
14:07
Speaker 2: an unqualified success. All the metrics show people are saving time.
14:14
Speaker 2: There's absolutely no evidence of that. In fact, the actual
14:19
Speaker 2: measure of it by legitimate sources shows absolutely no difference
14:24
Speaker 2: in traffic since the congestion pricing. You know, the other
14:27
Speaker 2: reason you got to elect Bruce Blakeman And you got
14:30
Speaker 2: to start doing something about this anti-Semitism. It is frighteningly
14:35
Speaker 2: out of control, especially here in New York. And Mamdani's
14:38
Speaker 2: just throwing gasoline on the fire. So you got to
14:42
Speaker 2: do something about that. Blakeman, Jewish himself, Blakeman, an anti-Semitism fighter.
14:47
Speaker 2: You need somebody like that in government. It's just getting
14:50
Speaker 2: crazier and crazier. And people are getting nuttier and nuttier.
14:54
Speaker 2: It's not just here. It's this anti-Semitism. Wherever you got
14:57
Speaker 2: blue states, they let it run wild. Although I'll give
15:00
Speaker 2: them credit, in California, you can get these personalized license
15:04
Speaker 2: plates everywhere. So in California, a woman wanted a personalized
15:08
Speaker 2: plate and the DMV wouldn't allow it. Her personal plate
15:14
Speaker 2: was RVRTSEA, which is river to sea. RVR, river, T, sea.
15:23
Speaker 2: River to sea, which is of course a very anti-Semitic
15:27
Speaker 2: thing calling for Israel to not exist So the DMV
15:32
Speaker 2: in California wouldn't allow the plate. She's now suing them.
15:36
Speaker 2: That's California suing them because they're trying to impede her anti-Semitism.
15:42
Speaker 2: And imagine that in California, driving around with that anti-Semitic
15:46
Speaker 2: license plate. But that's what, and that's just the silly
15:50
Speaker 2: little stuff. I mean, the real dangers of anti-Semitism, even,
15:54
Speaker 2: you know, much more serious than that. And that's the
15:57
Speaker 2: other reason you need to, bruce blakeman in new york
16:00
Speaker 2: hey we got a lot to get to this morning
16:02
Speaker 2: it's three hours every day mark simone here now nine
16:06
Speaker 2: to noon every day on 7 10 wor it's the.
16:10
Speaker 8: Mark simone show live from the wor life vac studios.
16:16
Speaker 2: Hey um remember obama's cheesecake factory joke about president trump
16:24
Speaker 2: it uh It's done some damage to Obama, and he's
16:28
Speaker 2: out there fighting on the campaign trail about this again.
16:32
Speaker 2: The joke was that President Trump, first he started saying
16:36
Speaker 2: he's too busy. We're all worried about his home renovation.
16:41
Speaker 2: But then he went after the way the Oval Office
16:44
Speaker 2: is decorated. All that gold. And looks like Saddam Hussein
16:51
Speaker 2: opened a cheesecake factory. Well, let's be honest. It is
16:55
Speaker 2: too much gold in the Oval Office. And it's nice
16:57
Speaker 2: to put some more paintings in, but he put 4,000
17:00
Speaker 2: paintings on the wall. I mean, it's a little too much.
17:02
Speaker 2: And I like the idea of putting the gold in.
17:05
Speaker 2: But not every inch of every wall is a lot
17:07
Speaker 2: of gold in. It looks like Liberace or something in there.
17:10
Speaker 2: But that's his taste. So that's fine. You can make
17:15
Speaker 2: jokes about that. The problem is, with this joke, Obama
17:20
Speaker 2: didn't seem to understand... you know, because he's so out
17:23
Speaker 2: of touch with normal people. He didn't seem to understand
17:27
Speaker 2: what role the Cheesecake Factory plays in American life. You
17:32
Speaker 2: remember Obama's an elitist, Ivy League elitist guy who travels
17:38
Speaker 2: in the most elitist D.C., you know, Georgetown circles, lives
17:43
Speaker 2: in five mansions, lives in Martha's Vineyard. You know, this
17:48
Speaker 2: Martha's Vineyard You see it, too, Southampton, even some of
17:52
Speaker 2: the Upper East Side and the Georgetown, Martha's Vineyard people.
17:55
Speaker 2: They have no contact with actual America or real Americans.
18:00
Speaker 2: They just live in their bubble, and they just don't
18:03
Speaker 2: understand certain things. When it comes to politics and when
18:07
Speaker 2: it comes to just normal life, they have no idea
18:10
Speaker 2: what a wah-wah is. They've never seen that. They don't
18:14
Speaker 2: know what the Olive Garden is. They've never heard of it.
18:17
Speaker 2: And they've heard of Cheesecake Factory because they're so everywhere,
18:21
Speaker 2: but they don't really know what it is. So when
18:24
Speaker 2: Obama made the joke, it was as if the Cheesecake
18:28
Speaker 2: Factory was some cheap little thing, like it was a
18:30
Speaker 2: 7-Eleven or something. I don't think he realizes. I know
18:34
Speaker 2: he doesn't realize that to most Americans, the cheesecake is
18:38
Speaker 2: a high-end place. It's not a little cheesy thing. No
18:43
Speaker 2: pun intended. It's a special thing for most Americans. It's like...
18:48
Speaker 2: special occasion, the birthday party. So that's where you go
18:51
Speaker 2: to cheesecake factory for most of, you know, for the
18:54
Speaker 2: middle of America. I don't think Obama understood that at all. So, uh,
18:58
Speaker 2: Trump went after him on the cheesecake factory. Everybody went
19:02
Speaker 2: after him for it. Uh, and then Scott Besson, it
19:05
Speaker 2: turns out who looks pretty elitist, you know, Scott Besson
19:09
Speaker 2: with his, uh, Harvard and his, uh, 12 degrees and
19:12
Speaker 2: his hedge fund background and his, those elitist glasses and, uh,
19:17
Speaker 2: He lives in a two, three mansion. But it turns
19:20
Speaker 2: out he's a real guy, a regular guy who's out
19:23
Speaker 2: there in the heartland, knows real America. And it turns
19:25
Speaker 2: out he's a big Cheesecake Factory fan. So when Obama
19:29
Speaker 2: made the joke, the next day he went to the
19:31
Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory and had lunch. And when he was coming out,
19:34
Speaker 2: the reporters tried to say and imply he didn't know anything. Well,
19:38
Speaker 2: what's good on the menu of the cheesecake? Oh, the
19:40
Speaker 2: best thing is the French dip cheeseburger, which I didn't
19:43
Speaker 2: know about. I hadn't been to the Cheesecake Factory in
19:46
Speaker 2: a while, but then they started showing pictures. It looked great.
19:49
Speaker 2: French dip sandwiches are huge now. So Cheesecake Factory, the
19:53
Speaker 2: French dip cheeseburger, phenomenal. So Obama on the campaign trail
19:57
Speaker 2: now trying to make it look like Trump did something
20:00
Speaker 2: wrong when he actually, Obama himself, made a mistake with
20:04
Speaker 2: that Cheesecake Factory comment.
20:06
Speaker 7: I accused this administration based on the facts that they
20:11
Speaker 7: were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption.
20:14
Speaker 5: They didn't say.
20:15
Speaker 2: Anything about that.
20:18
Speaker 6: The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison.
20:25
Speaker 3: That part didn't bother him.
20:28
Speaker 2: But he was very upset. about the Cheesecake Factory comments.
20:35
Speaker 2: He took great umbrage. See, he's the audience. It's all
20:41
Speaker 2: Democrat Obamas. They're laughing at you. You and your Cheesecake Factory.
20:47
Speaker 2: He went on to blast. He said, even the man
20:50
Speaker 2: in charge of the U.S. economy, what the hell was
20:52
Speaker 2: he doing going to the Cheesecake Factory? Well, it's Scott Besson.
20:55
Speaker 2: He loves the Cheesecake Factory. So he didn't say anything
20:58
Speaker 2: about Obama saying it's unprecedented corruption because it's just a ridiculous,
21:03
Speaker 2: stupid accusation. It's just Democrat hyperbole. Who would even respond
21:09
Speaker 2: to that? He also went on to say he didn't
21:12
Speaker 2: say anything about his out-of-control inflation. You know, the actual
21:16
Speaker 2: fact is inflation was much higher under Obama than under Trump.
21:21
Speaker 2: You know, gasoline prices were higher under Obama than under Trump.
21:26
Speaker 2: So there was no reason to respond to that. But
21:29
Speaker 2: it's killing him, this Cheesecake Factory backlash that he's getting,
21:33
Speaker 2: because he still doesn't know what it is. And when Besset,
21:36
Speaker 2: when he came out, I remember he said, and it
21:38
Speaker 2: was a good point, he said the Martha's Vineyard set
21:42
Speaker 2: might do themselves some good to get familiar with the
21:44
Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory. And that is Obama nowadays. Part of the
21:49
Speaker 2: Martha's Vineyard set. That's him. Totally, completely out of touch now.
21:55
Speaker 2: You know, we have an ambassador to the United Nations.
21:58
Speaker 2: It's the world's worst job. President Trump and everybody hated
22:04
Speaker 2: Nikki Haley, but they needed to get her out of
22:07
Speaker 2: South Carolina because they loved the lieutenant governor. They wanted
22:11
Speaker 2: him to become governor. So they had to get her
22:13
Speaker 2: out of there. First Trump administration, he said, I got
22:17
Speaker 2: somewhere I can dump her. And they made her the
22:19
Speaker 2: ambassador to the UN. It's a ridiculous job. It doesn't
22:23
Speaker 2: do anything. But she loved it because she went around
22:26
Speaker 2: there and got friendly with all the swamp people, with
22:28
Speaker 2: all the elitists. Although she's a nasty person in real life,
22:33
Speaker 2: a nasty person. And after a while, they all came
22:37
Speaker 2: to realize that and stopped dealing with her. And you
22:39
Speaker 2: remember when Trump got reelected, she kind of hinted, well,
22:42
Speaker 2: I'll be in the cabinet. He put out a statement immediately.
22:45
Speaker 2: Nikki Haley will not be part of my administration. She
22:49
Speaker 2: was in the first one and caused nothing but trouble.
22:52
Speaker 2: Everybody in the administration will tell you. lying, scheming, worst
22:56
Speaker 2: person they ever worked with. So don't expect to hear
22:58
Speaker 2: much from her again. But our current UN ambassador is
23:01
Speaker 2: Mike Waltz. I don't know why he wanted this job.
23:04
Speaker 2: He could have gotten almost anything he wanted, but I
23:05
Speaker 2: guess he likes trying to battle these people. The UN
23:09
Speaker 2: is like the most anti-Semitic, awful place, anti-American. It's basically
23:15
Speaker 2: a VIP lounge for dictators and socialists. So he's taken
23:20
Speaker 2: on the Cuba delegation, fighting with them, If you go
23:25
Speaker 2: down to Cuba, conditions are horrible, just horrible, horrible. They
23:29
Speaker 2: have government-run supermarkets. Everything in them looks awful. There's hardly anything.
23:34
Speaker 2: Most of the shelves are empty. And instead of all
23:38
Speaker 2: the brands of cereal we have, you just see white
23:39
Speaker 2: boxes that just say cereal on them. It's just generic
23:44
Speaker 2: government-made stuff. Most people living in poverty, except for the leaders.
23:48
Speaker 2: This always happens in these socialist countries. The leaders are
23:51
Speaker 2: in palaces. Everybody else in poverty. So he's telling this
23:54
Speaker 2: Cuban delegation off, fighting with them. They're yelling and screaming.
23:58
Speaker 8: Your ex would say, I know you don't like to
24:00
Speaker 8: hear this. This is America, my friend. This is the
24:03
Speaker 8: United Nations.
24:04
Speaker 2: This isn't your communist dictatorship.
24:07
Speaker 8: You cannot silence me or you cannot silence my colleagues.
24:11
Speaker 2: Good for Mike Walsh. He's gone.
24:13
Speaker 9: He is going to be on a plane to Havana.
24:16
Speaker 10: Uh.
24:16
Speaker 9: within the next twenty four hours you lay a hand
24:19
Speaker 9: on an american here in the united states president trump
24:23
Speaker 9: secretary rubio uh... and myself we're not gonna stand for
24:27
Speaker 9: it yet.
24:28
Speaker 2: Though they throw out anybody does.
24:29
Speaker 8: It ambassador back away this isn't a bad.
24:33
Speaker 10: I'm suspecting that may be a little time spending this
24:37
Speaker 10: meeting understand.
24:38
Speaker 8: Here dealing with this is america backup the rule is
24:42
Speaker 8: clear this is the substance of the speech there are
24:45
Speaker 8: no procedural You can bring.
24:46
Speaker 9: As many people as you want.
24:48
Speaker 8: Please sit down.
24:49
Speaker 2: Sit down. Good for him. And it's the UN. They
24:53
Speaker 2: hate America. They hate Jews. They hate a lot of
24:56
Speaker 2: stuff over there. But you hear the UN guy. We
25:00
Speaker 2: must suspend. Stop this right now. That gavel. You ever
25:05
Speaker 2: been in the UN? It is the dumpiest building in
25:08
Speaker 2: New York. It is a decaying building. Stumpy building. Nothing
25:12
Speaker 2: has been fixed or touched since 1960. It's the oldest looking,
25:16
Speaker 2: crappiest building. On the inside, it's just awful. Hey, we
25:19
Speaker 2: got a lot coming up. We'll take some calls, too,
25:22
Speaker 2: on 710WOR. Much more Mark. Mark Simone.
25:27
Speaker 6: Now 9 till noon weekdays.
25:30
Speaker 10: On 710WOR.
25:33
Speaker 2: Well, let's see here. DoorDash. is buying Instacart. These are
25:39
Speaker 2: two of the big delivery giants. They'll be one company now.
25:43
Speaker 2: DoorDash will buy Instacart for $ 17 billion. Wow. That's $ 65
25:50
Speaker 2: per share. DoorDash reported better-than-expected quarterly profits. I don't know.
25:56
Speaker 2: I don't like any of these services. Go pick it
25:58
Speaker 2: up yourself. Go pick it up yourself. You know, if
26:02
Speaker 2: you ever saw what happened to your DoorDash Instacart... What's
26:06
Speaker 2: the other one? There's a bunch of these. If you
26:08
Speaker 2: ever saw what happened, it sits in the restaurant for
26:11
Speaker 2: like a half hour. Then the guy picks it up,
26:14
Speaker 2: throws it in his car, takes his time getting to you,
26:18
Speaker 2: sometimes makes a bunch of stops. By the time it
26:22
Speaker 2: gets to you, it's like two hours old. It's grub hub,
26:27
Speaker 2: all of them. Go get it yourself. Go get it
26:29
Speaker 2: yourself and bring it right home. It's much, much, much easier.
26:34
Speaker 2: What else is going on? Hey, Wendy's is, remember I
26:37
Speaker 2: told you Wendy's was closing 60 stores. The finances look
26:42
Speaker 2: very bad. And then the billionaire, Nelson Peltz, looks like
26:47
Speaker 2: he wants to buy Wendy's. Looks like he wants to
26:49
Speaker 2: take it over, maybe even take it private. So as
26:53
Speaker 2: a result, the stock is going up. But also, you know,
26:57
Speaker 2: Nelson Peltz has been a pretty smart investor buying companies
27:00
Speaker 2: here and there. So when he showed this great interest,
27:03
Speaker 2: A bunch of other companies now looking at Wendy's. All
27:07
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's a takeover target. A lot of
27:09
Speaker 2: people looking at it, hoping to get control of it. Hey,
27:13
Speaker 2: let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
27:15
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
27:15
Speaker 2: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how are
27:19
Speaker 2: you doing? Good morning, Mark. It's always great to hear you.
27:31
Speaker 1: Um i want to talk about polling i know you
27:34
Speaker 1: always have that fabulous guest on who is the expert
27:37
Speaker 1: on polling.
27:37
Speaker 2: Well now he's just the best pollster in the world
27:39
Speaker 2: he's the one the candidates use behind the scenes he's
27:42
Speaker 2: the real.
27:42
Speaker 1: Right so when when okay so there's different kinds of
27:45
Speaker 1: polls i guess like when when you're a candidate and
27:47
Speaker 1: you privately hire a polling company to tell you how
27:51
Speaker 1: your numbers are doing that's what he does correct.
27:54
Speaker 2: No what it is the public polls are the most
27:57
Speaker 2: tiny frivolous junk polls they do maybe 500 people 800
28:02
Speaker 2: people they just call whoever the hell they want a
28:05
Speaker 2: public poll the one at the college these things cost
28:08
Speaker 2: three four thousand dollars to do the real polls you
28:11
Speaker 2: gotta it's like a million dollars a month the candidate
28:14
Speaker 2: will pay for them they're deadly accurate they use 20
28:17
Speaker 2: 30 40 000 people scientifically chosen to.
28:20
Speaker 1: Represent so those ones that that that you're hiring somebody
28:24
Speaker 1: at a million dollars or whatever to do this private polling.
28:28
Speaker 1: You're not obligated to tell the truth about the polling.
28:31
Speaker 1: Like I could say, oh, the polling says that I'm
28:34
Speaker 1: ahead and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like there's no,
28:37
Speaker 1: or are you even telling anybody?
28:39
Speaker 2: We played a clip earlier of Hochul out and out lying.
28:43
Speaker 2: She's got these private polls. She has them. She sees
28:46
Speaker 2: that it's deadlocked now. They're both within the margin. So
28:48
Speaker 2: she keeps lying. The public polls are great. How could
28:51
Speaker 2: anybody attack them?
28:53
Speaker 1: But is it illegal for her to do that?
28:55
Speaker 9: No.
28:55
Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondering.
28:56
Speaker 2: Illegal for a candidate to lie?
28:58
Speaker 5: No.
28:58
Speaker 1: Okay. Well, I just feel like there should be some
29:02
Speaker 1: kind of overhaul of all these polling things because we
29:06
Speaker 1: keep on talking about you can't trust the polls, and
29:08
Speaker 1: then you do the polls, and then you say you
29:09
Speaker 1: can't trust the polls.
29:10
Speaker 2: It's not even the fault of the polling companies. I
29:13
Speaker 2: could show you the metrics, and you'd say, oh, my God,
29:15
Speaker 2: it's totally rigged. You could show this to the New
29:17
Speaker 2: York Times. You could show this to everybody on TV,
29:20
Speaker 2: and they'll keep quoting these polls as if they're real.
29:23
Speaker 2: They know they're not real. They know they're suppression polls.
29:27
Speaker 1: I get it. I wanted to tell you in North
29:29
Speaker 1: Carolina that they did a kind of sneaky thing. I
29:32
Speaker 1: call it reverse psychology in the Senate race here. When
29:36
Speaker 1: I did start to notice kind of a manipulation whereas
29:41
Speaker 1: Cooper's campaign wrote saying, you know, the polls say that
29:47
Speaker 1: he's behind when they didn't really say that. He's behind,
29:50
Speaker 1: so don't believe that. You guys get out.
29:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a suppression poll.
29:54
Speaker 1: It was reverse psychology.
29:56
Speaker 2: It's crazy. But don't believe it at all. Hey, Israel's
30:00
Speaker 2: a good example. They did this crap in Israel, you know,
30:02
Speaker 2: putting out these polls. Bibi has no chance. He's a
30:04
Speaker 2: thousand points behind. Bibi can't win. Fifty points behind. A
30:08
Speaker 2: million points behind. Look what happened. Absolutely deadlocked. It's two
30:12
Speaker 2: days later. He's still so close he can't even tell.
30:14
Speaker 2: Polls were totally wrong because they were rigged. Now, a
30:18
Speaker 2: lot of times you'll see some of these fake polls.
30:21
Speaker 2: The night before, they'll unrig it. At the last second,
30:25
Speaker 2: it'll suddenly be a real poll. And that way, They
30:28
Speaker 2: can later claim, hey, we got it right. We got
30:30
Speaker 2: it right. They forget to mention it was only the
30:32
Speaker 2: last hour before the campaign was over. They got it right.
30:35
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bob in Florida. Bob, how are you doing?
30:39
Speaker 11: I'm doing well, Mr.
30:40
Speaker 9: New York.
30:40
Speaker 11: How are you doing today? How's the weather?
30:42
Speaker 2: 60 and sunny it's beautiful how's the flooding down there
30:46
Speaker 2: where are you in florida.
30:47
Speaker 11: Hey i'm on i'm on uh the west side.
30:51
Speaker 2: Of florida okay on the east coast they've got terrible
30:53
Speaker 2: flooding everywhere.
30:54
Speaker 11: Yeah i heard that.
30:56
Speaker 2: Yeah king tides the tides are so high they flooded
30:59
Speaker 2: miami they flooded fort lauderdale they're flooding palm beach yeah yeah.
31:03
Speaker 11: Last time they said fish were swimming down the street
31:06
Speaker 11: but i don't really pay attention.
31:07
Speaker 2: That's okay don't worry the alligators will eat them.
31:11
Speaker 11: Yeah, or the 20-foot Burmese pythons.
31:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a wonderful state. If you like snakes and
31:16
Speaker 2: alligators and lizards, it's the place to be.
31:18
Speaker 11: Another thing, if you want to live in a sauna,
31:22
Speaker 11: come on down here, okay? Because the humidity here is
31:25
Speaker 11: beyond imaginable. I want to talk about the weather on Saturday, though. Yeah.
31:32
Speaker 11: What I should have said was, when you said it
31:34
Speaker 11: was 60 on Sunday, perfect weather for early voting. Bruce
31:39
Speaker 11: Blakeman needs to get people in the city to vote
31:42
Speaker 11: Friday or Saturday in the nice weather because you've got
31:46
Speaker 11: the marathon on Sunday. It's going to follow everything up.
31:48
Speaker 11: You won't be able to go anywhere.
31:51
Speaker 2: Well, this is New York. Unlike Florida, where you've got
31:53
Speaker 2: to get in your car and drive half an hour everywhere,
31:55
Speaker 2: this is New York. Wherever you live, there's a polling
31:57
Speaker 2: place a couple blocks away you can easily walk to. Well,
32:01
Speaker 2: that's New York.
32:01
Speaker 11: Before I was in Las Vegas, they had the marathon.
32:03
Speaker 2: I rode the bus.
32:04
Speaker 11: We had to take about a half-hour detour. around the strip,
32:08
Speaker 11: around the airport to come back up to Tropicana so
32:10
Speaker 11: I could go and play poker.
32:12
Speaker 9: Yeah.
32:12
Speaker 2: Are you one of those poker players?
32:14
Speaker 11: Anyway, uh, uh, yeah, if I had money, I'd be
32:18
Speaker 11: a poker player.
32:19
Speaker 2: What is the thrill? I got kicked out of the,
32:21
Speaker 2: what is the thrill of sitting in a dark room
32:23
Speaker 2: in the middle of the day playing cards when you
32:25
Speaker 2: could be out in the sun and fun?
32:28
Speaker 11: Well, you know, I don't want to say it's like
32:30
Speaker 11: homo club, but it's like homo club. All these guys
32:33
Speaker 11: giggling and laughing, trying to get their money. But, uh,
32:36
Speaker 11: I don't know if I can say that. You're trying
32:38
Speaker 11: to get their money.
32:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's great. Thanks for calling. These guys with
32:44
Speaker 2: the poker, and they don't just play for it. It's
32:46
Speaker 2: not like you go, oh, let me play for 20 minutes.
32:47
Speaker 2: They sit there for 11 hours. They go to Las Vegas.
32:53
Speaker 2: It's a dark, you're in a casino in the middle
32:54
Speaker 2: of the day. There's no windows. They sit there for
32:57
Speaker 2: like 18 hours playing cards. Two days in a row,
33:00
Speaker 2: then they come home. How was Las Vegas? It was great.
33:02
Speaker 2: They never even saw Las Vegas. They're in this one
33:05
Speaker 2: room for 500 hours during the trip. Let's go to
33:08
Speaker 2: Bruce in St. Louis. Bruce, how are you doing?

Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. How are you today?
33:15
Speaker 2: I'm good. What's going on in St. Louis?
33:19
Speaker 10: Well, I just wanted to say that Obama commenting on.
33:25
Speaker 10: Trump's architectural taste when his library looks like R2-D2 crossbred
33:32
Speaker 10: with a kitchen trash can is more than a little ironic.
33:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very good point. Excellent point. I forgot
33:39
Speaker 2: to mention that. Besides Obama criticizing Trump's decorating, the other
33:45
Speaker 2: arguing against him, he's the last guy on Earth who should.
33:49
Speaker 2: ever talk about decor since he is now credited with
33:52
Speaker 2: building the single ugliest building in the history of america
33:57
Speaker 2: his predated presidential library is so ugly a lot of
34:00
Speaker 2: the houses that around that park are actually suing because
34:05
Speaker 2: it's such an eyesore and has ruined their neighborhood let's
34:08
Speaker 2: go to uh let's go to brendan in ulster county
34:11
Speaker 2: brendan how you doing Good morning, Mark.
34:14
Speaker 12: Thank you for taking my call. Hey, I appreciate all
34:17
Speaker 12: you do. You make me feel good about and optimistic
34:20
Speaker 12: about all the negativity going on out there, you know?
34:24
Speaker 12: I really appreciate that. I just want to let you
34:26
Speaker 12: know that Obama stole that joke from Trump himself. Trump
34:32
Speaker 12: was on Saturday Night Live in 2006 in a skit,
34:35
Speaker 12: and there was one of the actors was playing him,
34:38
Speaker 12: and he was playing a janitor, and they were twins,
34:40
Speaker 12: kind of like a Prince and the Pauper thing, and
34:43
Speaker 12: the The actor playing Trump was the president of his
34:46
Speaker 12: business and asked Trump the janitor what he thought of
34:50
Speaker 12: his office. He said, well, it looks like the inside
34:52
Speaker 12: of one of Saddam Hussein's castles. So he stole it.
34:56
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
34:56
Speaker 10: No, no, no.
34:57
Speaker 2: No, the Saddam Hussein part is fine. That's okay as
35:00
Speaker 2: a joke. But Obama didn't seem to understand what Cheesecake
35:04
Speaker 2: Factory really means to people. He was using it as
35:07
Speaker 2: if it's some cheap, crummy place, not realizing most people...
35:12
Speaker 2: Consider the Cheesecake Factory upscale and a fine-looking place. And
35:17
Speaker 2: if you go to a Cheesecake Factory, it's not tacky-looking.
35:21
Speaker 2: It's pretty nice-looking in a Cheesecake Factory. Yeah, that's the
35:24
Speaker 2: good old days. Remember when they loved President Trump at
35:28
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live? They loved him at NBC. They thought

35:34

Speaker 2: although signs of winter are coming. The ice skating rink
36:25
Speaker 2: opened now in Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center. They're ice skating
36:29
Speaker 2: as we speak. I saw the very first Christmas tree,
36:33
Speaker 2: the one above the Radio City Music Hall marquee. That
36:37
Speaker 2: Christmas tree is up. It's fall weather, though. It's going
36:41

36:44
Speaker 2: Nothing but sunshine until, you know what? It looks like
36:52
Speaker 2: a week and a half of no rain. That's the
36:54
Speaker 2: current forecast. It can change, but it's bright sunshine for
36:57
Speaker 2: the next four or five days. You can be sure
36:59
Speaker 2: of that. 67 today, 69 on Friday tomorrow, around 60
37:05
Speaker 2: over the weekend, but it's going to be bright sunshine,
37:07
Speaker 2: beautiful autumn weather. Leaves look great, especially just as you
37:10
Speaker 2: get outside of New York. Beautiful. That fall, autumn colors
37:15
Speaker 2: are everywhere. It looks great. Marathon is on Sunday. Daylight
37:20
Speaker 2: saving time ends Saturday night. So it's going to be
37:25
