0:01
Speaker 1: Now on The Voice of New York, it's the Mark
0:04
Speaker 1: Simone Show on.
0:07
Speaker 2: 710WOR.
0:10
Speaker 3: Well, it's not just any Monday. It's the final day
0:14
Speaker 3: of summer, final full day of summer. Autumn begins tomorrow night,
0:18
Speaker 3: 8 o'clock. Now, also, this is the beginning of the
0:22
Speaker 3: week of traffic hell. It's going to be gridlock everywhere.
0:26
Speaker 3: Manhattan is going to be a mess because of the
0:28
Speaker 3: UN General Assembly. This is the week where all the
0:30
Speaker 3: world leaders come. This UN General Assembly, it's actually about
0:34
Speaker 3: three weeks, but this is the week with all the
0:36
Speaker 3: world leaders. President Trump will be coming to New York
0:39
Speaker 3: about four o'clock today. And again, traffic nightmare everywhere. It's
0:45
Speaker 3: a holiday. It's Yom Kippur, so that would mean less
0:48
Speaker 3: traffic anyway. It's a Monday. which is the day most
0:52
Speaker 3: people don't go into the office. So it's a slow
0:54
Speaker 3: traffic day anyway, but it's going to be bad today.
0:57
Speaker 3: And then tomorrow, the rest of the week could be brutal.
1:00
Speaker 3: So work from home. Stay out of Manhattan if you're driving.
1:03
Speaker 3: It's going to be a mess everywhere. A lot of
1:05
Speaker 3: street closures. It's not just around the UN. It's all
1:07
Speaker 3: over town because these world leaders stay at all the
1:10
Speaker 3: different hotels all over town. President Trump has a meeting
1:15
Speaker 3: with Zoran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion. The president's scheduled to
1:19
Speaker 3: be there. at 4.10. I don't know why 4.10, but
1:24
Speaker 3: that's the schedule. And the meeting will be about an hour.
1:28
Speaker 3: They're going to talk about all sorts of New York stuff.
1:32
Speaker 3: It's strictly about New York and New York City and
1:34
Speaker 3: all of that. Mamdani wants $ 16 billion for housing, wants
1:38
Speaker 3: to build housing. Can you imagine the government? Mamdani. Can
1:43
Speaker 3: you imagine New York building housing? That's why it's $ 16 billion. Now,
1:47
Speaker 3: Trump's a little busy right now, but He should say
1:50
Speaker 3: to him, let me build the housing. It'll be $ 1 billion,
1:54
Speaker 3: not $ 16 billion. $ 1 billion would be the real cost.
1:58
Speaker 3: And remember, the Trump family built more low-income housing than
2:02
Speaker 3: just about anybody in the world. That's what they did
2:04
Speaker 3: for many, many decades. That's what Fred Trump did. Low-income housing, Brooklyn, Queens.
2:09
Speaker 3: Let the president do it. Let his company do it. Again,
2:12
Speaker 3: it'll be $ 1 billion, not $ 16 billion. It's a lot
2:15
Speaker 3: of money to waste, especially when it's coming out of
2:18
Speaker 3: people's paychecks, taxpayers' paychecks. So he meets with Mamdani at 4.10.
2:23
Speaker 3: He is then scheduled to meet with French President Macron
2:29
Speaker 3: at 5.30. That'll be a quick meeting because then 6 o'clock,
2:36
Speaker 3: there's an RNC donor reception. This is for big donors.
2:40
Speaker 3: Tickets for this start at $ 150, 000 and up. So small
2:46
Speaker 3: little meet and greet with the president. Then he goes
2:48
Speaker 3: to the, there's a pack called MAGA Inc. Then he
2:52
Speaker 3: goes to their big, big gala dinner. That's tonight about 7, 730.
2:57
Speaker 3: So tight schedule for the president. He's expected to stay
3:00
Speaker 3: in New York City tonight. Trump Tower, which means a
3:05
Speaker 3: lot of traffic congestion around there. A lot of streets
3:08
Speaker 3: will be closed up. And then tomorrow he's got a
3:13
Speaker 3: couple of meetings. He's expected to meet with Zelensky at
3:17
Speaker 3: some point, probably tomorrow. He'll meet with Zelensky. He wants
3:20
Speaker 3: to talk to him about a couple of things. One
3:22
Speaker 3: is ending what he now calls this stupid war. As
3:28
Speaker 3: you know, oil prices were going crazy, although not today.
3:31
Speaker 3: Oil is dropping. If you're a Democrat, cover your ears.
3:36
Speaker 3: Oil is down now, way below 100. It's down to 97.
3:39
Speaker 3: It's dropped a lot. It's dropped about 10 points in
3:43
Speaker 3: the last week. Okay, Democrats, you can uncover your ears.
3:47
Speaker 3: So one of the reasons that the oil has been
3:50
Speaker 3: going crazy, it's not just Iran, the diesel prices are
3:53
Speaker 3: what's killing a lot of people. Diesel fuel prices, that
3:56
Speaker 3: is caused strictly by Ukraine and Russia, the Ukraine-Russia war.
4:00
Speaker 3: Ukraine started bombing Russia's diesel factories, diesel facilities, knocking out
4:08
Speaker 3: a lot of their diesel production. So that's what drove
4:10
Speaker 3: the price of that up. So he's going to talk
4:13
Speaker 3: to Zelensky. They've already talked on the phone about it,
4:15
Speaker 3: but they're going to talk in person about it. Stop
4:17
Speaker 3: hitting Russian oil infrastructure. It's causing the price to spike.
4:22
Speaker 3: He's also said he's calling for an end to this
4:24
Speaker 3: ridiculous war. So who knows? Who knows? Maybe they'll get
4:28
Speaker 3: something settled here. You know, he also made this agreement
4:32
Speaker 3: to get total control of Greenland. Denmark will still be
4:37
Speaker 3: the owner of Greenland, but we'll control it. We'll do
4:39
Speaker 3: the security. It's a pretty good agreement, although it's very
4:44
Speaker 3: similar to the agreement we already had. But this will
4:47
Speaker 3: make it permanent. And this is going to be signed
4:50
Speaker 3: this week here in New York. All the leaders, Denmark, Trump,
4:55
Speaker 3: everybody will be here. So they'll get this signed and
4:57
Speaker 3: done this week. Now, the story that broke Friday afternoon is,
5:08
Speaker 3: Shook up a lot of people. The president wants to
5:10
Speaker 3: ban MSNBC, CNN, and Politico from the White House. Now,
5:18
Speaker 3: it sounds crazy. It's not as crazy as it sounds, though.
5:21
Speaker 3: Other presidents have tried this. Obama tried it. Biden tried it.
5:27
Speaker 3: It's not that unusual. It happens a lot. A reporter
5:31
Speaker 3: showed up. He said Friday he was going to ban them. Well,
5:35
Speaker 3: one of them showed up. Saturday, they got a badge.
5:38
Speaker 3: You used to get in, you put your badge up
5:40
Speaker 3: to the the card reader and it lets you in.
5:43
Speaker 4: And then once I got inside to an area where
5:45
Speaker 4: we place our bags and we ourselves go through magnetometers,
5:50
Speaker 4: I went to scan my badge and enter my pin
5:52
Speaker 4: number and the lights around the reader blinked red.
5:56
Speaker 1: I tried it again.
5:56
Speaker 4: And then the officer asked me to hand over my
6:00
Speaker 4: badge and he said that it's been disabled. And I asked,
6:03
Speaker 4: can you tell me why? And he simply said, it's
6:06
Speaker 4: above his head.
6:09
Speaker 3: She's banned. Now, they've all gone to court. The trials
6:13
Speaker 3: will begin today. The court hearings will begin today. It's MSNOW, CNN,
6:19
Speaker 3: Politico will go to court. They'll sue the president. Now,
6:24
Speaker 3: you could hear all these constitutional experts argue that he
6:28
Speaker 3: can't ban the media. He can't ban news media. Well,
6:31
Speaker 3: that's very debatable. He did ban AP a long time ago,
6:36
Speaker 3: and they've been in court. And that's been in court
6:37
Speaker 3: for a couple of years. AP can't seem to win
6:39
Speaker 3: that case. The problem if they go to court is,
6:44
Speaker 3: let's say it's MSNBC. If they go to court, the
6:48
Speaker 3: president could prove in court that they've been broadcasting all
6:51
Speaker 3: kinds of fake news. You can list it all. Here's
6:57
Speaker 3: a list of like 40,000 examples of fake news that
7:00
Speaker 3: they have broadcast. You could also argue, and they can
7:04
Speaker 3: bring these all up and put them on the court record,
7:06
Speaker 3: all these things. Some of them they've had to pay
7:09
Speaker 3: massive fines for broadcasting, just total false fake information. And
7:14
Speaker 3: it goes back for years. The Russia hoax was a
7:17
Speaker 3: great example. Uh, denying the laptop was Hunter Biden's kids
7:20
Speaker 3: in cages. That was all made up. That was actually
7:23
Speaker 3: Obama and Biden to put them in cages. Uh, Charlottesville
7:27
Speaker 3: is one of the great hoaxes of all time. He
7:29
Speaker 3: told people to drink bleach. It never happened. It never happened. Um,
7:34
Speaker 3: it's a long, long list. Uh, posed for pictures at
7:38
Speaker 3: Arlington Cemetery. No president has ever done that. Well, it
7:42
Speaker 3: took about a minute and a half to find pictures
7:45
Speaker 3: of every president posing for pictures in Arlington Cemetery. January 6th, why,
7:51
Speaker 3: he just sat there watching TV all day. Absolutely false.
7:56
Speaker 3: In fact, 24 minutes into the January 6th incident, the
8:02
Speaker 3: president was already tweeting the protesters to go home. 24 minutes,
8:06
Speaker 3: he responded. Nick Sandman, remember Nick Sandman? That was the
8:10
Speaker 3: kid with the Native American rightness. Remember that told, they
8:15
Speaker 3: made up a whole fake story, doctored up the pictures.
8:19
Speaker 3: CNN had to pay an $ 80 million settlement to Nick Sandman.
8:22
Speaker 3: So you could go through all these examples, all these
8:26
Speaker 3: examples of, here's another one. Rachel, there's a great video
8:30
Speaker 3: of Rachel Maddow saying, President Trump never encouraged Americans to
8:34
Speaker 3: get vaccinated. The video is cut together with thousands and
8:37
Speaker 3: thousands of times he urged people to get vaccinated. Also
8:41
Speaker 3: with the video of him getting vaccinated on camera, telling
8:44
Speaker 3: people that they just make up stuff. There's another one,
8:48
Speaker 3: Rachel Maddow. President Bush never did one interview with the
8:50
Speaker 3: New York Times. He did many with the New York Times.
8:53
Speaker 3: Just a great example. Mitt Romney was running. Remember when
8:57
Speaker 3: Andrea Mitchell doctored a video to make it look like
9:01
Speaker 3: Romney had never seen an iPad and didn't know what
9:03
Speaker 3: it was? It was totally false. It was actually a video.
9:08
Speaker 3: Luckily Romney's people video did video of the same speech.
9:12
Speaker 3: And then you could see the real one. He's holding
9:14
Speaker 3: it up and showing it to kids and explaining how
9:16
Speaker 3: the iPad works, but she doctored it up and make
9:18
Speaker 3: it sound like he'd never seen one before. So you
9:22
Speaker 3: could make this case in court that they are fake news.
9:24
Speaker 3: You could also make the case that they don't report deliberately.
9:28
Speaker 3: Don't report half the news, the positive stories they leave out.
9:32
Speaker 3: If you listen to this program, you heard the story
9:34
Speaker 3: last week that, uh, The numbers came out. Income for
9:38
Speaker 3: Americans is at an all-time high. Poverty level, the poverty
9:42
Speaker 3: rate is at the lowest ever in history right now.
9:46
Speaker 3: It was a good example of a story they'll never, ever,
9:48
Speaker 3: ever report. So in a courtroom, they could have a problem.
9:53
Speaker 3: So Trump could win this case. It'll end up going
9:55
Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court when it's brought in D.C. in
10:00
Speaker 3: front of these crazy left-wing Democrat judges, the president has
10:03
Speaker 3: a problem. But when it gets to the Supreme Court,
10:06
Speaker 3: it could get interesting. Now, the problem with banning the media,
10:10
Speaker 3: if you do that, then the Democrats have every right
10:12
Speaker 3: to do that when they get in. They've tried it before. Obama...
10:16
Speaker 3: He glosses over this. Obama's been speaking out on this
10:19
Speaker 3: for the last couple of days, ignoring the fact that
10:22
Speaker 3: he tried to ban Fox News. If you go to
10:25
Speaker 3: my Twitter, you can see all the video of this,
10:27
Speaker 3: of the Democrats calling for the ban of Fox News
10:30
Speaker 3: from the White House. This one great video of George
10:33
Speaker 3: Stephanopoulos and David Axelrod, two Democratic operatives, arguing the case
10:37
Speaker 3: to ban Fox News. Obama did ban some reporters. And also, hey,
10:45
Speaker 3: Obama did something worse. Remember, he had surveillance done on
10:48
Speaker 3: the reporters, went into their phones and their Internet accounts
10:53
Speaker 3: and took everything. His Justice Department, Eric Holder, did that.
10:57
Speaker 3: So there's another way to ban the reporters. Just don't
11:00
Speaker 3: talk to them ever again. That was the Biden ban.
11:03
Speaker 3: He just didn't. Biden wouldn't talk to the press ever.
11:06
Speaker 5: He went a year and a half without having a
11:08
Speaker 5: press conference, a year and a half. And what was
11:12
Speaker 5: the question you asked him most? What is your favorite
11:16
Speaker 5: flavored ice cream? Okay. I think you asked him that
11:19
Speaker 5: question once. What ice cream do you like the best?
11:22
Speaker 5: I mean, I heard that question so many times. And
11:25
Speaker 5: he always say vanilla.
11:30
Speaker 3: Well, the president may be wrong there. I think he
11:32
Speaker 3: said chocolate chip a couple of times. I think he
11:35
Speaker 3: said mint chip once. It was always a typical Biden.
11:37
Speaker 3: It was a different answer every time. But you can
11:40
Speaker 3: ban the press. It's in effect. We'll see how long
11:42
Speaker 3: this lasts.
11:43
Speaker 5: ABC Fake News gave me $ 16 million that was agreed to.
11:48
Speaker 5: $ 16 million that I won from ABC News because George
11:52
Speaker 5: Slopidopoulos wrote incorrect stuff. CBS gave me $ 38 million because
11:59
Speaker 5: they broadcast Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes and the question
12:04
Speaker 5: borrowed no relationship to what she said. You saw that.
12:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, they doctored up that interview. They asked her about Israel,
12:10
Speaker 3: and she couldn't answer. She gave some fumbling, bumbling answers.
12:13
Speaker 3: So they cut a good answer from another part of
12:16
Speaker 3: the interview into that, made it look like that was
12:18
Speaker 3: her answer. And Trump has won a lot of money.
12:21
Speaker 3: He's up to about $ 100 million that he's gotten from
12:23
Speaker 3: these fake news organizations that they were forced to pay
12:25
Speaker 3: him because they couldn't go to court. They couldn't let
12:29
Speaker 3: all this come out in a courtroom on the record.
12:32
Speaker 3: But it'll be interesting to see how long this lasts.
12:34
Speaker 5: I don't want him in my office. I don't want
12:36
Speaker 5: him here. I would say the band would go as
12:39
Speaker 5: far as you can. And if they could straighten themselves out,
12:42
Speaker 5: you know, if you, if they could send themselves out,
12:44
Speaker 5: I'd love it. Look, uh, they're very dishonest people. They
12:48
Speaker 5: write in a very dishonest way.
12:49
Speaker 6: Yeah.
12:51
Speaker 3: Now, uh, Biden banned, I think 44 reporters from the
12:56
Speaker 3: white house. They'll argue if you're watching a fake news,
12:59
Speaker 3: they'll argue though. They weren't banned. They just simply didn't
13:01
Speaker 3: reapply for their credentials.
13:02
Speaker 7: Yeah.
13:03
Speaker 3: They were taken away and reapply. They didn't think it
13:05
Speaker 3: was going to succeed. So, hey, the big news last night,
13:09
Speaker 3: Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, on 60 Minutes, it
13:15
Speaker 3: was quite dramatic. It was quite moving. I don't know
13:18
Speaker 3: if I believe a word this guy says. I don't know.
13:22
Speaker 3: Do you believe anything he says? He was pretty dramatic.
13:25
Speaker 8: And I think when it comes to forgiveness, I also
13:28
Speaker 8: felt that if I didn't get there, I would be
13:33
Speaker 8: eaten up inside.
13:34
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, right.
13:36
Speaker 3: I don't know, if your wife kills your three children,
13:38
Speaker 3: that's a lot to forgive.
13:39
Speaker 8: I asked her if she remembered it.
13:42
Speaker 1: And what did she say?
13:43
Speaker 8: She said it was like a dream. And she remembered
13:48
Speaker 8: it much in the way you would remember a dream
13:51
Speaker 8: after waking up.
13:52
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not buying any of this. I'm
13:54
Speaker 3: with that lone juror.
13:55
Speaker 8: I think I did the best I could with what
13:58
Speaker 8: I had at the time. And I live with the outcome.
14:03
Speaker 8: I live with it every day.
14:07
Speaker 3: I don't know. He said, I think I was as
14:10
Speaker 3: good a father as I could be. If your three
14:11
Speaker 3: kids are murdered by your wife, I don't think you're
14:14
Speaker 3: the best father in the world. It's a little hard
14:16
Speaker 3: to claim that now.
14:16
Speaker 8: I remember that night, I really thought there was a
14:21
Speaker 8: chance that Callan would live. And I remember just thinking,
14:24
Speaker 8: just give me one.
14:26
Speaker 3: One child did go four days before he died. So
14:29
Speaker 3: that's what he's talking about.
14:30
Speaker 8: Give me one kid and I would raise him as
14:33
Speaker 8: best I could. And I would give him the best
14:35
Speaker 8: life I possibly could. And I tell him about his
14:37
Speaker 8: brother and sister. And I was holding out hope for that.
14:43
Speaker 8: And then when I got to the hospital, I saw
14:45
Speaker 8: the doctor. I saw the look on her face. And
14:47
Speaker 8: I knew that it wasn't going to be a good prognosis.
14:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was quite powerful, this interview. But I'm not
14:54
Speaker 3: buying any of it.
14:55
Speaker 8: I'm so grateful for those four days that I had
14:57
Speaker 8: with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. Did
15:05
Speaker 8: you talk to him in those four days?
15:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
15:10
Speaker 8: Can you tell me anything you said?
15:11
Speaker 7: I said, I'm so sorry. And I got to hold him.
15:22
Speaker 7: I got to lay down next to him. And he
15:26
Speaker 7: died in my arms.
15:29
Speaker 3: Well, obviously, it's very moving. It's very powerful. Very, very dramatic.
15:36
Speaker 3: But I'm not buying any of it from this guy.
15:38
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't trust this guy at all.
15:40
Speaker 3: He was there at the time of the... I don't know.
15:42
Speaker 9: I don't know.
15:44
Speaker 3: Anyway, we've got a lot to get to this morning. It's, again,
15:47
Speaker 3: UN General Assembly Nightmare Traffic Week, so just beware of that.
15:53
Speaker 3: The president will get back to his visit with Mamdani later.
15:57
Speaker 3: You know, they talk a lot. They talk on the
15:59
Speaker 3: phone regularly. This will be his third in-person meeting. He
16:04
Speaker 3: met with him once when he was the mayor-elect, and
16:06
Speaker 3: then as mayor, remember, Mamdani went to the White House.
16:10
Speaker 3: But they both have admitted they do regularly call each other.
16:14
Speaker 3: They talk on the phone now and then. President Trump,
16:17
Speaker 3: that's his thing. He talks to anybody. He could be
16:20
Speaker 3: the leader of Iran, the most evil enemy. He'll talk
16:23
Speaker 3: to you. In fact, there's a slight chance he might
16:26
Speaker 3: meet with the Iranian leaders this week. Anyway, we'll get
16:29
Speaker 3: to all of that coming up. It's Mark Simone. Three
16:31
Speaker 3: hours every day now, 9 to noon. We start at 9.
16:34
Speaker 3: 9 to noon here on 710WOR.
16:38
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
16:46
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful.
16:47
Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's Monday. Final full day of summer. Autumn
16:53
Speaker 3: officially begins tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. That was some summer. uh, between, uh,
17:01
Speaker 3: wildfire smoke and, uh, ridiculous heat waves. And, uh, but
17:05
Speaker 3: it's over. It's finally over. It was pretty good the last,
17:08
Speaker 3: the last few weeks. Hey, that, uh, crazy, awful, uh,
17:11
Speaker 3: evil Macklemore and now donating a million dollars to groups
17:17
Speaker 3: with Hamas ties. Uh, I don't know. This whole thing is,
17:22
Speaker 3: it's one of those moments where you need, uh, a
17:23
Speaker 3: real Democrat like Bill Maher to speak out about Macklemore.
17:26
Speaker 10: I think Macklemore spoke for all clueless celebrities when he said,
17:30
Speaker 10: I know enough to know this is a genocide.
17:33
Speaker 1: Actually, you don't know s * * t.
17:35
Speaker 3: It's not.
17:37
Speaker 1: It's not a genocide.
17:38
Speaker 10: It's a counterattack in a war, a war that's been
17:41
Speaker 10: waged on Israel since 1948, based on the ridiculous premise
17:45
Speaker 10: that Jews don't belong in the one place on earth.
17:48
Speaker 10: They are indigenous and indisputably their ancestral homeland.
17:52
Speaker 1: Hey, geniuses, they're the Indians in this scenario.
17:55
Speaker 3: That's a very good point.
18:00
Speaker 6: Excellent.
18:00
Speaker 3: But yeah, let's start calling them the indigenous people. The Israelis,
18:04
Speaker 3: the indigenous people. You're not allowed to attack indigenous people.
18:08
Speaker 3: But Ed Sheeran, well, we'll get to him later. He's
18:12
Speaker 3: just like a, I don't know, he's just making a
18:15
Speaker 3: fool out of himself. You know, he's a nice guy.
18:16
Speaker 3: He's a really nice guy, Ed Sheeran, who doesn't know
18:19
Speaker 3: a damn thing about Israel, Hamas. He doesn't know anything
18:22
Speaker 3: about any of this. He's trying to play along with this,
18:25
Speaker 3: trying to make the best of it, trying to appease everybody.
18:29
Speaker 3: And in the process, offending everybody in sight. You should
18:32
Speaker 3: hear how he opened it. Well, we'll get to that.
18:34
Speaker 3: We'll play it coming up. How he actually opened his show. Hey,
18:37
Speaker 3: speaking of fake news, you watch these Sunday shows? They
18:42
Speaker 3: just fake everything. Just the choice of guests is absolutely ridiculous.
18:47
Speaker 3: They pick every crazy left wing. You know, Adam Schiff
18:51
Speaker 3: and Ro Khanna have no business being interviewed anywhere by anybody.
18:55
Speaker 3: They've been caught lying 500 times. That alone should disqualify
18:59
Speaker 3: them from being guests on Sunday shows. But they were
19:02
Speaker 3: talking about AI. And who did they get? J.B. Pritzker.
19:07
Speaker 3: He's that big, fat Ralph Cramden slob from Chicago, Illinois,
19:12
Speaker 3: the governor of Illinois. There's nobody on Earth, nobody on
19:17
Speaker 3: Earth knows less about AI than this guy. He's going
19:20
Speaker 3: to bash Trump. He's going to call Trump names. So
19:22
Speaker 3: they bring him in to be the guest.
19:24
Speaker 10: They are okay with just letting it, you know, run
19:28
Speaker 10: rampant and let the leaders of it.
19:30
Speaker 3: Self-govern and self-regulate.
19:33
Speaker 9: And I think that's a mistake.
19:36
Speaker 11: Yeah.
19:37
Speaker 3: Trump is not talking about having it run rampant. In fact,
19:40
Speaker 3: he set up an AI commission. He set up and
19:43
Speaker 3: he's even appointed an AI czar. It's pretty good jobs
19:49
Speaker 3: to have. because the AI industry has trillions, literally trillions
19:54
Speaker 3: they're throwing around. That's why all these Congress people are
19:57
Speaker 3: playing along with this scheme about, they have to be regulated.
20:01
Speaker 3: The AI industry just formed two super PACs with 40
20:06
Speaker 3: million in them And these super PACs have been handing
20:10
Speaker 3: out money to people in Washington, to people in Congress.
20:14
Speaker 3: That's why they're all going along with this. They've just
20:16
Speaker 3: received $ 40 million from these two PACs, and there's more coming.
20:24
Speaker 3: It'll total $ 400 million at some point. You can buy
20:28
Speaker 3: a lot of politicians in Washington, D.C. You know, not
20:33
Speaker 3: only does autumn begin tomorrow night, but it's practically Columbus Day.
20:38
Speaker 3: I know it's hard to believe, but it's practically Columbus Day.
20:41
Speaker 3: The Columbus Day parade is coming up. It's put on
20:44
Speaker 3: by the Columbus Club, the beautiful private club on 69th
20:49
Speaker 3: between 5th and Madison. It's a beautiful club. The best
20:52
Speaker 3: pizza in New York. They won't let Dave Portnoy in
20:54
Speaker 3: to test it, but it is. And the current president
20:58
Speaker 3: of the Columbus Club, Christopher Loiacano, has invited... Mayor Mamdani
21:05
Speaker 3: to march in the parade. This is enraging a lot
21:08
Speaker 3: of people. A lot of people upset about this. They
21:11
Speaker 3: don't want Mamdani in their parade, especially since he's the
21:14
Speaker 3: guy that kept pushing to tear down the statue of
21:16
Speaker 3: Christopher Columbus. That's why it's the Columbus Club. Now, while
21:23
Speaker 3: everybody's outraged that he was invited to be in the parade,
21:26
Speaker 3: most people think he will not show up. He will
21:29
Speaker 3: not be in the parade because, first of all, It's
21:31
Speaker 3: the Columbus Day Parade. It's all Italians lining the streets.
21:34
Speaker 3: They're going to boo him like crazy. And he knows that.
21:38
Speaker 3: He knows that. He knows he's going to get booed.
21:41
Speaker 3: The president of the Columbus Club arguing it's the right
21:43
Speaker 3: thing to do. Yeah, he's probably right. I mean, he
21:45
Speaker 3: is the mayor of New York. It is the right
21:48
Speaker 3: thing to do. You know, when you're doing a big parade,
21:52
Speaker 3: you need all kinds of permits to do your big parade.
21:56
Speaker 3: And you need all kinds of government cooperation. You need
21:59
Speaker 3: police protection. You need the permits. It's the mayor in
22:03
Speaker 3: charge of all that. He's really the boss. So it
22:05
Speaker 3: makes sense to invite him. But again, look for him
22:08
Speaker 3: not to show up. He knows he'll get booed the
22:10
Speaker 3: entire route. The video will be everywhere. And does he
22:14
Speaker 3: really need that? I don't think so. Hey, there's a
22:17
Speaker 3: caddy who got himself into trouble. He was a PGA caddy.
22:22
Speaker 3: You know, these caddies make a lot of money. You know,
22:25
Speaker 3: when a guy wins his million dollars, the caddy gets,
22:30
Speaker 3: I think it's a 7% commission for the caddy. So
22:33
Speaker 3: the guy he plays for, he won the British Open 2025,
22:37
Speaker 3: $ 1. 8 million. The caddy commission on that is $ 126, 000. That's
22:42
Speaker 3: for one weekend. A couple of those a year. Caddies
22:45
Speaker 3: can make a lot of money. But this guy got
22:49
Speaker 3: himself into trouble for dealing cocaine. And he went to prison,
22:54
Speaker 3: this caddy. And he was barred from working in the UK,
22:57
Speaker 3: so he couldn't be in the British Open. It's a
23:01
Speaker 3: 30-year-old conviction. It's a long time ago. He was a
23:03
Speaker 3: crazy kid, but he straightened himself out. He is one
23:06
Speaker 3: of the great caddies in the tour, but he can't
23:08
Speaker 3: go to certain countries because of this conviction. So President
23:14
Speaker 3: Trump pardoned him. I mean, it's 30 years later. And
23:18
Speaker 3: that's where you're supposed to use a presidential pardon, where
23:20
Speaker 3: a guy did his time, went to jail, paid his penalty.
23:24
Speaker 3: And then for the next few decades, straightened himself out,
23:27
Speaker 3: turned his life around. That's where you're supposed to use
23:29
Speaker 3: a presidential pardon. So he got the pardon. He can
23:33
Speaker 3: go back to work now in any tournament anywhere. It's
23:36
Speaker 3: a nice thing to do. It's just a kind thing
23:39
Speaker 3: to do. That's where you're supposed to use a pardon.
23:43
Speaker 3: And obviously, Trump loves the golf world. They love him.
23:46
Speaker 3: And I'm sure they pushed him hard for the pardon. Hey,
23:49
Speaker 3: we got a lot to get to. And we'll take
23:51
Speaker 3: some calls coming up. But first, on 710WOR. Now, much
23:57
Speaker 3: more Mark.
23:59
Speaker 1: Mark Simone. Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
24:03
Speaker 6: On 710WOR.
24:07
Speaker 3: Hey, we'll take some calls.
24:08
Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number.
24:08
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
24:17
Speaker 3: Cuba, you know, is an absolute mess. It's a socialist country.
24:20
Speaker 3: Whenever you have socialism, you have disaster everywhere. You have poverty.
24:24
Speaker 3: You have a complete mess. Cuba, another blackout over the weekend.
24:28
Speaker 3: Millions and millions across the island without electricity. Cuba's power
24:32
Speaker 3: grid collapsed once again Friday. Still out in many places.
24:38
Speaker 3: People just, one resident there, Off the records is nobody
24:42
Speaker 3: can stand these constant blackouts. There's not enough food, not
24:46
Speaker 3: enough water, no electricity. You have no idea how bad
24:50
Speaker 3: it is. The country's in such a sad state. He
24:52
Speaker 3: said there's no words for what we're going through. Power
24:55
Speaker 3: grid collapses have been very, very common in Cuba over
25:01
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. Severe economic crisis gripping Cuba. Also,
25:07
Speaker 3: they've been cut off from oil, from us, from everybody.
25:10
Speaker 3: So it's a big, big problem. But that's what happens
25:14
Speaker 3: when you try socialism. It always ends that way. Hey, Newsday,
25:19
Speaker 3: you know, Long Island's newspaper, used to be a big newspaper. Newsday,
25:22
Speaker 3: not so big anymore. It's a little thing now. But Newsday,
25:26
Speaker 3: possibly the worst newspaper in America, certainly on the top
25:30
Speaker 3: five of worst newspapers in America, even doing... what they're
25:36
Speaker 3: supposed to still be able to do well, and that's
25:40
Speaker 3: cover Long Island. They really stink at it. They just
25:43
Speaker 3: put out their list of the 50 best restaurants on
25:46
Speaker 3: Long Island. Now, Long Island has some of the greatest
25:50
Speaker 3: restaurants anywhere in the tri-state area. 50 best restaurants on
25:54
Speaker 3: Long Island. Go read the list. There's like three you'd recognize,
25:58
Speaker 3: and 47 nobody ever heard of. All the great restaurants
26:01
Speaker 3: on Long Island are not included on here. There's no...
26:05
Speaker 3: There's no Cipollini. There's no Prime. There's no Posto Pozzo.
26:09
Speaker 3: There's no Rothmans. There's no all the great restaurants along.
26:13
Speaker 3: Left off the list. But that's Newsday. You can always
26:16
Speaker 3: count on them to be totally unreliable about everything. Hey,
26:21
Speaker 3: that crazy Hassan Piker, that awful anti-Semite, that ugly, disgusting,
26:29
Speaker 3: vicious anti-Semite. He's going to speak at Cornell. He's been
26:33
Speaker 3: invited to speak at Cornell. That's why you got to
26:36
Speaker 3: stay the hell away from these Ivy League schools. Don't
26:39
Speaker 3: send your kids there, any of these Ivy League schools.
26:43
Speaker 3: Experts now say the whole Ivy League, just a hotbed
26:46
Speaker 3: of anti-Semitism. The event at Cornell already sold out. Who
26:53
Speaker 3: the hell would even let this guy on the campus,
26:55
Speaker 3: let alone be the big guest star speaker? Sold out event.
26:59
Speaker 3: Absolutely ridiculous. Hey, if you want to call, hey, there's
27:02
Speaker 3: open lines. So don't tell me you can't get through.
27:04
Speaker 3: There's open lines. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. Let's go
27:15
Speaker 3: to Bill in Hamburg, New Jersey. Bill, how you doing?
27:19
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Mark. You know, the situation with Trump
27:24
Speaker 2: banning CNN and MSS, whatever the other one is, all
27:29
Speaker 2: they do is propagandize They lie, they're dishonest, as President
27:35
Speaker 2: Trump said. They poison minds with their information, and I
27:40
Speaker 2: understand the constitutionality of freedom of speech, but when it
27:45
Speaker 2: begins to poison people's minds, then they don't know what
27:48
Speaker 2: the hell is right from wrong anymore.
27:50
Speaker 3: You can't say they're poisoning people's minds, because they're speaking
27:52
Speaker 3: to the choir, they're preaching to the choir, so it's
27:55
Speaker 3: minds that are already long ago poisoned. But you're right, and...
28:01
Speaker 3: The problem is they're going to court. They're going to
28:02
Speaker 3: sue the president. Now, he could very possibly make the
28:08
Speaker 3: case in court that they're not news organizations. He could
28:12
Speaker 3: present 50, 60, 100 examples of fake news that they broadcast.
28:17
Speaker 3: He could present 50 big news stories that they refused
28:20
Speaker 3: to broadcast because they were too positive about the administration.
28:24
Speaker 3: So he could make the case in court. It would
28:26
Speaker 3: be interesting to see. that they're really not a news organization,
28:32
Speaker 3: that they're just political activists pushing a political agenda. The
28:36
Speaker 3: Obama administration tried doing that with Fox News. They kept
28:40
Speaker 3: arguing it's not a news organization. They're just a political activist.
28:43
Speaker 3: So in this case, you know, the Obama administration tried it,
28:46
Speaker 3: gave up. But this is President Trump. He always fights harder.
28:51
Speaker 3: He may pull it off. He may actually get it done.
28:53
Speaker 3: Let's go to Art Lakewood, New Jersey. Art, how are
28:55
Speaker 3: you doing?
28:57
Speaker 11: I'm doing fine. Hope you are too.
28:59
Speaker 9: I'm good.
28:59
Speaker 11: I've got a question. I don't know if you can
29:02
Speaker 11: answer this or not, but the Clancy person who murdered
29:06
Speaker 11: her three children?
29:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:08
Speaker 11: She was supposed to murder herself by committing suicide?
29:12
Speaker 5: Yes.
29:12
Speaker 11: I'm wondering why she only jumped off a 10-foot high
29:15
Speaker 11: second floor.
29:17
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people, she did make a suicide attempt.
29:19
Speaker 3: A lot of people thought it wasn't real. It was
29:21
Speaker 3: just an attempt to gain sympathy. She didn't cut the
29:25
Speaker 3: right vein or something. She's a nurse. She worked as
29:28
Speaker 3: a nurse. She would know exactly how to kill herself,
29:30
Speaker 3: what vein to cut, all of that, if she really, really,
29:33
Speaker 3: really wanted to. So a lot of people don't think
29:35
Speaker 3: it was a sincere attempt. Let's go to Diane in Illinois. Diane,
29:39
Speaker 3: how are you? you doing?
29:41
Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. You know, I can't, you have to
29:44
Speaker 6: fill me in. With Pritzker, four data centers in AI,
29:48
Speaker 6: I understand whenever he's on TV, whenever I see him on,
29:51
Speaker 6: I just can't listen to him. But he has to
29:54
Speaker 6: be forward because construction is being planned and for a
29:59
Speaker 6: 500-acre data center in a town called Essex, which is about, oh,
30:03
Speaker 6: 60 or 70 miles southwest of Chicago. So what's he
30:08
Speaker 6: talking about?
30:08
Speaker 3: He's just anything anti-Trump. Pritzker is just anti-Trump. Whatever he
30:13
Speaker 3: has to say to be anti-Trump, he'll do it. He's
30:15
Speaker 3: a big fat slob.
30:18
Speaker 6: The only thing you see now on TV are commercials
30:20
Speaker 6: about how he's improved the bonds in Illinois. I don't
30:25
Speaker 6: know how, but Yeah.
30:26
Speaker 3: Oh, you're in Illinois. He's running for governor. Re-election, right?
30:29
Speaker 3: So you're seeing his commercials all the time. Do they
30:31
Speaker 3: show him or they use something?
30:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, they showed him at a table signing things looking
30:38
Speaker 6: really important. But he's got to be looking at president
30:41
Speaker 6: because he's lost a lot of weight.
30:45
Speaker 3: Well, he hasn't lost a lot of weight.
30:47
Speaker 6: You're right.
30:47
Speaker 3: He's lost some, but he's got a ways to go. Boy,
30:50
Speaker 3: don't ever get in a buffet line behind that guy.
30:53
Speaker 3: You're going to really get stuck there. Let's go to
30:56
Speaker 3: Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
30:59
Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
31:00
Speaker 3: Yes, Mike.
31:01
Speaker 9: You mentioned that it's UN week. The only good thing
31:04
Speaker 9: that comes out of it is that every hooker in
31:06
Speaker 9: the world is here this week.
31:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Not just regular hookers, but the really
31:12
Speaker 3: expensive call girls. We're not joking. They actually descend on
31:16
Speaker 3: New York. They take hotel rooms all over the place.
31:19
Speaker 3: There's like thousands of them. And the local hookers. The
31:22
Speaker 3: local hookers can't keep up with all the demand.
31:24
Speaker 9: That's right. The world-class ones have invaded the city. And
31:29
Speaker 9: you were talking about the stores that have the cash-counting machines.
31:34
Speaker 9: The hookers have the cash-counting machines, too, this time of
31:38
Speaker 9: the year. And when I worked on a PIX this week,
31:41
Speaker 9: because that studio is right there at the old Daily News.
31:44
Speaker 3: 42nd and 2nd, yeah.
31:46
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a nightmare this week. It was just
31:49
Speaker 9: the worst. I mean, you know, it was just so
31:53
Speaker 9: crowded with, you know, bubble heads walking around, you know, sightseeing.
31:58
Speaker 9: It was a nightmare getting into the office.
32:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, Mike. Thanks for calling. Yeah, if you
32:03
Speaker 3: try to get to the east side, especially in the 40s,
32:06
Speaker 3: 3rd Avenue, 2nd Avenue, 1st Avenue, a lot of street closures.
32:09
Speaker 3: And in many of those blocks, they're closed and you
32:11
Speaker 3: have to show your ID that you work on the
32:13
Speaker 3: block or that you live on the block. uh, in
32:16
Speaker 3: order to even get into the, to be able to
32:18
Speaker 3: walk down that street. So just avoid the East side. And,
32:21
Speaker 3: but again, it's going to be congestion all over the place.
32:24
Speaker 3: Those world leaders staying at the, the Pierre, the Waldorf,
32:27
Speaker 3: the St. Regis across the street over there, the Warwick,
32:31
Speaker 3: the Hilton, there'll be all over the place. So it'd
32:32
Speaker 3: be massive, massive, uh, gridlock everywhere. And, uh, the benefit
32:40
Speaker 3: is these, uh, delegates all come here, uh, They don't
32:44
Speaker 3: do anything at the UN. There's nothing that means anything
32:47
Speaker 3: that happens there. But they bring their families, they bring
32:50
Speaker 3: their wives, they bring their mistresses, and they all go
32:53
Speaker 3: on shopping sprees. They spend a fortune. So you can
32:56
Speaker 3: go into the finest, most luxurious store, and you'll see
32:59
Speaker 3: this big industrial-looking cash counting machine that counts the bills.
33:03
Speaker 3: Because they'll spend $ 400, 000 in pay and cash. So those
33:08
Speaker 3: counting machines are everywhere. As we say, the hookers... I've
33:11
Speaker 3: come from all over the world to work this week.
33:14
Speaker 3: It's the biggest week of the year for prostitution here
33:19
Speaker 3: in New York. Anyway, we've got a lot to get to.
33:21
Speaker 3: Don't forget, I'm on three hours now, 9 a.m. till
33:25
Speaker 3: noon every day, three hours every day. And then at noon,
33:29
Speaker 3: you've got Buck Sexton and Clay Travis. And then at
33:31
Speaker 3: 3 o'clock, you've got the most listened to radio show
33:34
Speaker 3: in America, Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly at 6, the very
33:38
Speaker 3: funny Jimmy Fallon. Every night at 9, quite a lineup here,
33:42

34:03
Speaker 3: to be starting tomorrow in the 60s. High will be
