• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Monday. It's Columbus Day. The rain stopped.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: The parade goes on. Mom Donnie is snubbing the Columbus
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Day parade. He will not be there. That's just terrible.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: He's clearly announcing to everybody he's the mayor for some
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: of New York, not all of New York, but... The
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: truth is, I think they're kind of thrilled not to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: have him there because all he's going to happen is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: he'll get booed all along the way. He could also
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: argue that maybe he shouldn't come. Most of the crowd
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: will just boo Mamdani, but he will not be there.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: He snubbed the Columbus Day parades yesterday, Queens, Brooklyn, that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: sort of stuff. He snubbed other parades. Again, he's a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: mayor for a little bit of New York, not all
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: of New York. We'll get back to Mamdani. President Trump
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: busy as ever. Every day, going to another state, another city.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: He'll be going to Ohio this afternoon to campaign there.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We'll get all the real poll numbers, not the fake
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: poll numbers, later on in the show. President Trump shooting
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: his mouth off all weekend. We love when he does that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Gives us plenty to talk about. He called for renaming
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean the Trump Oceans. The Trump Oceans.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, why does he do that? He knows
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it sets you off. He knows it drives the left crazy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: He knows it gets him in an uproar. And he
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: kind of enjoys that. He likes seeing you run around
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: screaming and yelling. So, yeah, he did call for renaming
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it the Trump Oceans. But, listen, he doesn't really mean it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: He said he would like to have a river, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: he loves all of our rivers. He loves the Mississippi.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Can't rename that. Hey, we didn't get to.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: The Nobel Prize on Friday. The Nobel Prize has become
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the most sleazy, dirty, corrupt, biased, ridiculous award over the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: last couple of decades. It used to be quite the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: legitimate award. First, it went very left-wing, and then it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: went very anti-Semitic. It's a really anti-Semitic committee. You know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it was a legitimate award many, many, many years ago.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The Israeli Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, 1994, got the Nobel
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Peace Prize. The Israeli Prime Minister. Well, in recent decades,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: this is the Nobel Prize Committee of today. They've denounced
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the award. They've said they regret giving an award. They're
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: just very anti-Semitic. They're anti-Israel. They're anti-Semitic. And they've been
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: doing this all along. It's an anti-Semitic committee that does this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: this year they picked the biggest anti-Semite on earth they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: could find. And it's this woman from the UN. Again,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: UN is as anti-Semitic as you can get. So she's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: not only from the UN, she's on the International Criminal Court.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: That's that fake court that a bunch of crazy left-wingers
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: created in Norway. You can just create your own court
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and declare it an international court of whatever. And that's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: all it is. It has absolutely no authority to do
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: anything Countries don't recognize it. The United States doesn't recognize it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: In fact, we're now in the process of trying to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: sanction that international criminal court and put it out of business.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It's just a fake organization. Anyway, she's from that. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in that fake international criminal court, she declared Israel guilty
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of genocide. She declared Israel guilty of war crimes, just
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: anti-Semitic nonsense. Hamas could launch the worst Holocaust on October 7th.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: rape women, slit babies' throats. And to her, that's not genocide.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: But if Israel responds, as any country would have, it's genocide.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So she's a vicious anti-Semite. So she got the Nobel
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Peace Prize. President Trump tweeting out that it's just a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: horrible thing. She obviously hates Israel. She hates America. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he also said it's a stain on the country of Norway.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: He says the Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy. Now,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, for years, whoever hates Trump the most, whoever
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: is the most left-wing kook they give a Nobel Prize to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Do you know they gave a Nobel Prize to the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: worst economist ever in the world, Paul Krugman? He was
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that bug-eyed weirdo New York Times economist who always got
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: everything wrong. Remember when Trump took office in 2016, he
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: said the whole world economy will collapse because of it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: He gets everything wrong. Do you remember in, I think
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it was 99, when Paul Krugman wrote that big thing
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: about how the Internet would fade away? It was nothing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It would go the way of the fax machine that
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the Internet would never catch on. That's Paul Krugman, that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: complete idiot, and won a Nobel Prize. That's just the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: way they do things at that crazy, crazy committee. Speaking
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of Columbus Day, President Trump did issue a Columbus Day
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: message stating that the days of plunder where the radical
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: left Democrats, socialists and communists tore down Christopher Columbus statues.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He said that's over. Cities and towns will not be
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: ripping down the beautiful statues of Christopher Columbus. Those days
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: of plunder are over. The statues are back more magnificent
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: than ever. I don't know what he's going to do
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: about it if it happens in the city, but he'll
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: do whatever he can. So Mamdani's not going to the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Columbus Day Parade. He snubbed the two Columbus Day Parades yesterday.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But he tried to do, this is what he always does,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he tries to do something to make it look like
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: he's on the right side. But whenever he does that,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: whenever he tries to do something noble, he sticks in
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: there something to let the crazy communist left-wingers know that
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: he doesn't mean it. So For Italian Heritage Month, he
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: did a video. He put it up on social media
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in the video, praising a great Italian. But who did
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: he pick out? He picked out a communist, crazy Italian
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: who had ties to the Communist Party, like a real
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: left-wing kook of a congressman with communist ties. That's the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Italian he honored. A lot of people responded, City Councilwoman Palladino.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Of all the men and women of the Italian descent,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that's who he picked, an obscure communist who, by the way,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the guy he picked was against us being in World
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: War II. He was investigated by the FBI for ties
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to the Communist Party. So, you know, remember there's that 2020,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: there's a social media post that was uncovered. It was
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: years ago, but it was Mamdani giving the finger to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the statue of Christopher Columbus in Queens and yelling, take
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: it down. So this is not the guy you really
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: want in the Columbus Day Parade. So it's probably a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: good thing that he stay home. Now, President Trump also
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: announced Russia, Ukraine have reached an energy ceasefire. It doesn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: end the war, but they'll stop bombing refineries and oil
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: facilities because that's what drove the price of diesel way up.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So he announced that they've reached a ceasefire agreement on energy. Now,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the problem is apparently they didn't know they reached an agreement.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Here's Zelensky.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: With all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: up to our people to choose one or another leader.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So he announced the deal between these two, but forgot
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to mention it to these two. So I don't know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: He also called for Ukraine to get a new leader.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Ukraine-Russia should have never happened.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: If I were president, it never would have happened.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But President Zelensky could have solved this war or he.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Could have made a deal many times. I've been there
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: many times. Yeah, so he's back to not liking Zelensky.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I suggest they get a new leader who can.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Make a deal. All right, Zelensky. Tell Putin, give us.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: for any choice of our people. We are open for this.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Don't attack us.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Don't kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: And I think it's fair, fair deal.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you're in a war, you're in
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a war. So they're trying to hurt Russia's economy as
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: much as they could. Russia's only, well, not the only,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: but the main business, most of their economy is oil sales,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and diesel oil is a big part of it. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they were hitting their diesel refineries, their diesel facilities, costing
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: them a fortune. But the other problem is you knock
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: out all that Russian diesel oil, it drives up the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: price of diesel all over the world and here in America,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and that's what trucks and farmers depend on. So the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: price of diesel way up. Now, that caused the fake news.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: The Sunday shows were going crazy for a couple of weeks,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: screaming and yelling all the fake news, demanding that the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: president do something about that. Why, the high price of
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: diesel fuel, the demanding he fix that. So he did
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: probably the best thing. he could do. He lifted the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: tariffs on all Russian diesel. We were blocking the import,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: but now we're going to allow it to come flowing in.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: That'll drive the price down. So what happens on the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Sunday shows yesterday? Now they attack him for doing something
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: about it. for two, three weeks demanding he do it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Now when he does it, they're attacking him saying, how
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: could he make a deal with Putin? What is going on?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Why this deal with Putin? So that's why you just
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: do whatever you want. That's why he doesn't care. You
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: can't win. The fake news will attack you if you don't.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: They'll attack you if you do. They'll attack you if
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you do nothing. They'll just keep attacking you. So now
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the guy that was shot, this illegal career criminal, You know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you saw his rap sheet. He was arrested for this.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He was convicted of this. And the guy's only been
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: here three years. Pretty good rap sheet for just three years.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: He was shot by ICE in the neck. Apparently the
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: bullet is still lodged in his neck. They did take
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: him to another hospital over the weekend. He's now in
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Detention Center. His lawyer is saying the conditions
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: are deplorable. Well, I think they're supposed to be in jail.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I think that's the idea. But... Mamdani demanding his release, demanding,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Mamdani now claiming he will investigate ICE. And you know
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: this Mamdani, master investigator, why I'm sure he'll get to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the bottom of everything. But ICE, listen, if you look
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: at the numbers, ICE, you got to get illegals off
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the street. And if they're criminals, you got to get
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: them out of America. If they're illegals who are raping, robbing,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Gang members, you have to get them out of the country.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And so far, they have arrested and deported 600,000 of them.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That's 600,000 criminals off the streets. That's a pretty good thing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: It means a lot as far as safety for a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: lot of Americans. Now, they've also seen 1.9 million self-deportations,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of them fleeing the country before ICE gets them.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: That way they can go where they want instead of
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: getting deported to somewhere they don't want to go. So
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: if you total that up, that's two and a half
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: million criminals that have been deported, arrested and deported. Two
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and a half million. And that explains why the crime
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: numbers are down everywhere in cities all over the place.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: So keep it up. Mamdani will yell and scream about ICE,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: but it really.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't bother anybody. But he's going to investigate.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: In terms of what I will be doing with the
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: police commissioner is a review of that entire 24-hour period.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: That includes ISIS shooting. It includes the NYPD's response to
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: the incident, as well as the ensuing protest. It includes
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: ISIS use of a privately owned parking lot as a
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: staging area. And it includes every tool that is available
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: to us to protect New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Well, but that's what he does. You know, he talks
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: very fast and he sounds like he knows what he's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: talking about. And he talks like a guy who's going
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to get a lot of stuff done. And he talks
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like you can't wait to get it. In the meantime,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: he never does anything. So don't worry about it. He's
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: all talk. Nothing ever actually happens. All right. It's almost Halloween.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's almost Halloween. What is the most popular Halloween costume
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: this year? Well, actually, it's a bunch of them. Most
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: popular Halloween costumes. See if you can guess.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: No.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter is one. Dolly Parton is another. A lot
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: of people will be going as Dolly Parton this year.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Nikki Freeman. K-pop Demon Hunters. Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. See,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: this is the problem with Halloween now. A lot of
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: older people are going to open the door. They're not
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: going to know who the hell you're supposed to be.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: They don't know any of these people. So, just like
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: everything else, Halloween costumes splintered. Some people will know what
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: this costume is. Some people will know what that costume is. Anyway, hey, Cornell,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: that crazy Cornell University, just making a mess out of everything.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: So they've announced a new program. Cornell will now offer
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: degrees to people in prison. That's right. Don't ask. Who
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: knows why? They're going to have prison college classes. They're
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: starting with the Cayuga Correctional Facility. It's the prison education program.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It'll be a three-year bachelor professional studies program. If you're
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: in jail, you can go to Cornell. You can actually
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: be a Cornell student while you're in prison. The first
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: major that's been approved, Organizations, Markets, and Society. And that's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the type of major you could have at Cornell, where
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: nobody knows what the hell it is, Organizations, Markets, and Societies.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: What the hell is that? You know, you go to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: a tech school, Lincoln Tech. You come out an electrician.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You come out a plumber. You come out an HVAC expert.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: You get all these. You know what you're doing. You're
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: ready to go to work. You walk out with your
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: degree in organizations, markets, and society. Go try to find
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: a job with that stupid degree. But the first group
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: is 18 inmates. They'll enroll in classes that will include economics, statistics.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Data analytics. Now, if you're in prison trying to stay alive,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I would assume that's an important skill, data analytics. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: assume that would help you. Entrepreneurship, marketing and finance through
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: a combination of self-paced learning and in-person sessions with Cornell professors.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: These left-wing kooky Cornell professors, they can't wait to go
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: to prison because they want to help. They want to
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: help the prison. Meantime, they're going to get robbed blind
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: in prison. They'll be there for discussion and network. So
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: this is, if you've sent somebody to Cornell and paying
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: money to Cornell, this is how your money is being
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: wasted for this nonsense. Anyway, we've got a lot more
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to get to and a lot coming up today. Mark
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Simone here, 9 to noon, three hours every day, 9
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to noon, here on 710WOR. Welcome back to The Mark
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Simone Show.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, just moments ago, the Department of Justice raided
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, D.C. Her immigration status, her
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: lying about whatever, her marriage or this or that, part
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: of the probe, her immigration paperwork, that's one of the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: things they were after. But they raided Ilhan Omar's home
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: this morning in D.C., Homeland Security Investigation. And they'll keep
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: on her. Don't be surprised if they end up finding
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: immigration fraud there and remove her from the country. That'll
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: be an amazing story for what happened to actually a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: member of Congress. Krista Pike, the woman that survived two
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: lethal injections, Krista Pike, discharged from the hospital. She's out
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: of the hospital. She's back in prison. They're still keeping
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: her in prison, but she's out of the hospital. She
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: said she's grateful to the first responders and her medical team. Uh,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: she's continuing to receive medical care in prison. They'll track
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: her recovery. Her lawyers are pleading with the governor of, uh, uh,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that state. Who's a Republican bill Lee to commute her sentence.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: She's endured punishment greater than any other person in the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: history of the American death penalty. I know the rest
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: of them are all dead. I would say that's a
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: greater punishment. Uh, she is, you got to give her
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: credit for a relentless chutzpah. She keeps fighting to get
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: rid of this execution. She beat tooth lethal injections. You know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: she's got all kinds of medical issues and because she's
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: all screwed up inside, her veins are so tight and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: tiny that it's hard for anything to flow through them.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: So that's why the lethal injection was unable to flow
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: through her veins. Now, Believe it or not, in that state,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: you're given a choice of electrocution, lethal injection. She picked
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: lethal injection. So maybe she knew that she had a
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: chance of surviving it with those bad veins. Maybe that
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: was the idea. The midterms are 22 days away. Three
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: weeks till the midterms. Three weeks. Three weeks. It's tightened
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: up a lot. Coming up in our third hour, we'll
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: have the greatest pollster in the world. He'll go over
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: all the latest numbers. But it's tightened up a lot. Now,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: it's hard to say. It's so tight, it's hard to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: really predict anything. But it looks like the Republicans will
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: hold the Senate. That looks very good. Holding the House,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: now that's in question. They could lose the House and
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: keep the Senate. Now, you've got to remember a couple
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of things. Let's say that Trump lost everything. Let's say
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: he lost the House, he lost the Senate. It's not
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: that bad for him. Problem number one, they'd be impeaching
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: him every week. Well, that never bothers him. He went
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: through that the first term. kind of enjoys it, I think.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: But remember, the other thing is he's got a great cabinet.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: He's not going to need any new cabinet members. Everybody
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: there is staying, Rubio and Hegseth and Besant and Ludnick.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: They're all staying. So he's not going to need to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: get any cabinet members confirmed by the Senate. He won't
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: need Senate confirmations. And the other thing is he doesn't
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: really use a lot of legislation. Now, in the first term,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: There was the big, beautiful bill, the tax relief. Boy,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: that helped a lot of people. I know you keep
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: hearing these lies. Tax cuts for billionaires. It wasn't tax
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: cuts for billionaires. The vast majority of it went to
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: lower and middle income. But he doesn't need a lot
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: of legislation. He generally governs by executive order. So if
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: he lost Congress and had no chance of any legislation,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't matter to him. We'd just use executive orders.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. He's got three weeks. He works his
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: tail off. You'll want to be at this point a
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: little behind with a lot of momentum. They seem to
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: have some momentum. Democrats have nowhere to go but down
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: in this race. They're probably already peaked. So we'll see
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: what happens. It's going to be tough. But he will
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: be out there all over the country, crisscrossing the country.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: As they say, Ohio today, another state every day. Hey,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: by the way, he'll go to the Philippines next month
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit. Again, I
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: don't know why he wanted this job. He was in
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: New York. He was having fun. Who wants to go
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit? Does that
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: sound like a lot of fun to you? And then
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: from there, he goes on to China, first Manila, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: then to China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Seriously,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: if somebody called you and said, hey, you want to come?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I got an extra ticket for the Asia Pacific Economic
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Cooperation Summit. Who the hell would want to sit through that?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: In Shenzhen, China, it'll take place November 17th, 19th. All
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of this is after the midterms. He was invited to
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the Philippines by the president. You know who the president
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: is of the Philippines? Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. Yeah, Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Philippine president. He has been inviting Trump to visit his
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: country for some time now, so that's why he'll go. Hey,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that Mamdani pied-a-terre tax, it's in real trouble, this pied-a-terre tax. Now,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: they sent out 17,000 letters, most of them incorrect. So
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: a court has already ruled you just can't send everybody
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: a letter saying they're guilty and they better pay you.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: You've got to prove they're guilty. Now, Mamdani's letters... You'd
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: get this letter saying, you're definitely guilty. You owe this money.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: If you think you don't owe it, you have to
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: prove to us you don't owe it. Well, courts have
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: ruled that's not the American legal system. Everybody's innocent until
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: proven guilty. It's not up to them to prove they're innocent.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: The government has to prove they're guilty. So that was
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: problem number one. Problem number two, they just sent out
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: these letters left and right, and most of them are wrong. 10,000,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: they sent 17,000 letters. 10,000 of them have questionable letters
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: demanding an exemption. And listen to this, 6,000 were approved.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Out of 10,000 demands for exemption, 6,000 already have been
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: approved and were valid. They didn't deserve the letter. So 60%
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: already proved they incorrectly got the letter and the rest
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: will end up proving it. Now there's another lawsuit coming
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: And this is the one I think will end the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: pied-a-terre tax. It's a brilliant lawsuit. It's from Wilbur Ross,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the former Commerce Secretary. Also, is it Howard Lutnick? Steve Wynn.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Steve Wynn is the other guy. Steve Wynn and Wilbur
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Ross are suing. This is the one that's probably going
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to end that pied-a-terre tax because Wilbur Ross argues brilliantly
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that in America, you can't have taxation without representation. That's
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the whole idea of America. That was the Revolutionary War.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: No taxation without representation. So Wilbur Ross is arguing that
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't live here and he can't vote here,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: he's got no representation, he lives in Florida, so he
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: can't be taxed without a chance to vote. If you
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: can't vote in the elections, you can't be taxed. He's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: going to have a great point there. This will go
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court. His other point is it violates
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the Commerce Clause in that A state can't tax residents
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: of another state. So both those things are pretty clever.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: He probably will win that lawsuit in the end. And
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: that'll be the end of the P.A. to terror attacks. Hey,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to, and then we'll
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: take some calls coming up. Mark Simone here. Nine to noon.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Three hours. Nine to noon now every day. 710WOR.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: 710WOR. Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: you got to give the New York Times credit. They
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: do some amazing journalism. Look at this hard-hitting piece here
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: in today's New York Times. Is it unprofessional to bring
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: iced coffee to a job interview? Well, it's a long
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: article exploring this. I could give you the answer without
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: even reading it. Yes, of course it is. Don't bring
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: iced coffee into a job interview. First of all, don't
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: bring anything to drink into it. It doesn't look good. Now,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: if you brought a cup of coffee and you're sipping coffee,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: that's one thing. The problem with iced coffee, everybody drinks
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: it with a straw. You always look like an idiot.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: sipping a straw during a job interview. You don't do that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Why would you bring a martini into it? Would you
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: bring an espresso martini into a job? No, don't bring
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: iced coffee. First of all, it's insulting to them. You know,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you show up and if they want to offer you
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: some water, some coffee, they will. Now, you know, years ago,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it was an old salesman trick. All the old sales
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: guys When they'd go see a buyer or a client,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: they would bring food. They would bring bagels. They would
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: bring donuts. They would bring something because when you hand
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the guy the box, it wasn't for them. You'd give
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: it to them. They'd always open it up and have
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: you eat. You'd both eat it while you're sitting at
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the desk. And they said it was quite the icebreaker
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: because now you're both eating together. It creates a bond
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: that wasn't there otherwise. Let's take some calls. Let's go
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: to Bonnie in New Hope. Bonnie, how are you doing?
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: Okay, how are you, Mark?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Let me check. Not bad, not bad.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: I was calling to talk about the Jesse Kelly show.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: I never heard anybody really mention it before.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Then how'd you know about it?
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: Well, on WLBR. He has a great show. I've been
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: listening to him since he started. He's a historian. He
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: can talk about any topic.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a good show. That's why we have it
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: on six to nine every night here.
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's great.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for letting us know what shows we have.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: And I wanted to mention this. Vincent was right last week.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: He wanted to know, how did that criminal ever get
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: a driver's license?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Well, anybody get a driver's license now. You don't have
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: to be a citizen. You don't have to be anything.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Mrs. Kelly, thanks for calling. Let's go to
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I think it's interesting that Mondani, while he's hysterical about
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: this guy, the shooting in the Bronx, he seems to
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: forget that the Italians in this country were treated quite poorly. Many, many,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: many lynchings in the 1800s and 1900s, culminating probably the
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: most notorious case with Sacco and Vanzetti, who were railroaded
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: to the death's house. So here he is in a
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: country discovered by Italians, by the way. in a country
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: where he's allowed to crap all over it, and he
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: can't show up at a parade and be amicable.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Well, what would you do if you're him? I mean,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the right thing to do is show up, but if
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: you're him, you know you're going to get booed the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: whole way. What would you do?
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing. He's put himself in his corner,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: and he can't show up because of that very thing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: You're right. It would be phony for him to show up.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Beyond that, the parade is one thing. It's just not
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: recognizing the contribution of this population that suffered just as
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: much as the people he's complaining about now suffering.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And what would we do without the Italians? What
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the hell would we be eating?
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: Forget it. I'm telling you. If you counted up all
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: the pizza I've had in my life, it could go
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: from here to Mars.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: There'd be no food on the Upper East Side. It's
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: all Italian restaurants. What would you do?
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: And movie making and music. I mean, you know, between
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Italians and Jews and the Irish, the great American songbook
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: wouldn't exist.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, Jews mostly were tin panning.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: No, they wrote them and the Italians sang them.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically. But without the Jewish songwriters, you wouldn't have
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the great American songbook, for the most part. There were
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: some exceptions. Now, I think the problem with Mamdani, a
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: parade you don't talk. And I've been in these parades.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: It's tough. You've got to walk for miles and keep waving.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Your arm gets tired. You're just waving. But he doesn't
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: like things where you don't talk. He's a good talker.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: He likes to talk. Things where you just wave, that's
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: not for him. I think that's the other part.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: You're right about pointing out how fast these guys talk.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: El-Fayed does the same thing. They talk a mile a minute,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: and you think, boy, this guy is a genius.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I can't believe it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Anybody who can talk that fast has to be a genius.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It's a younger generational thing. It's like you listen to
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the Ben Shapiro show. You listen to a normal show.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: The guy just says, hey, how are you? Good afternoon.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: You listen to the Ben Shapiro show. It's like a
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: mile a minute. A mile a minute.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It makes you sound very smart. It works, though. Well,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling, Mike.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: A parade is a tough. I've had a march in
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: a few of those. And it's fun. You're right in
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the middle of the street, crowds on both sides. You wave,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: you wave, you wave. By block number 75, your arm
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: wants to fall off. You're tired. I admire the royal
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: family because that's basically all they do is wave at
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: a parade. But they must have the greatest arms. They
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: just never get tired of it. Let's go to Tom
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in Queens. Tom, how are you doing? Hey, Mark. Good morning.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: So I saw the Letitia James debate last week.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she got slaughtered in that, didn't she?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, she got creamed. But the big thing was, you
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: have to admit, if that button ever flew off, it
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: would have broke the sound barrier.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, you mean her jacket was too tight?
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. She would have gave Rodney Dangerfield a
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: year's worth of jokes.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, well, good point. Yeah, Letitia James had
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: a debate. The Republican candidate for Attorney General is phenomenal,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and she showed... real brilliance in that debate. And Letitia James,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: it was clear she didn't know anything about anything, even
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: a simple question like, the past attorney generals in New York,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: who do you admire? And the Republican candidate immediately said,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Dennis Vacco. And she went through some of the things
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Vacco accomplished. And then they went to Letitia James and
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: she couldn't name any previous attorney general. It was clear
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: she had no idea who was attorney general in the past.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: And there were a lot of other questions where she
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: just didn't know what the hell she was talking about.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: It was a disaster for her, that debate. Now, the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: good thing for her, and it was smart of her,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: they made sure it was on New York One. Nobody
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: sees New York One. New York One has like 12 viewers.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: And it's a very biased channel. New York One is
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the most biased left wing. So when she got into trouble,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Letitia James kept lying. She said, Trump who put kids
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: in cages. Well, that's not true. That was the Biden-Obama administration.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: All those pictures of the kids in the cages are
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: from 2008. It was Biden and Obama, but it's New
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: York One, so of course the moderator never corrected her.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Dave in New City. Dave, how you doing? Nope,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. Dave, are you there?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Dave?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: There's something wrong with that phone line, I think. Let's
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: go to Marco in New Jersey. Marco, how you doing?
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just wanted to comment on the lady that
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: called it, how did that criminal get a driver's license?
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: How did a criminal become president? That's what I want
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: to know. That's the real question.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: You're talking about Biden?
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: No, Trump.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, Trump.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Trump, he was....
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, wasn't he convicted in New York City of, you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: defrauding the taxpayer?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Not really. It wasn't a real case. It wasn't a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: real charge. Higher courts just tossing it out, ruling it
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: absolutely idiotic. You didn't actually fall for that, did you? Yeah,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: but you really thought he committed a crime.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: But why would I Google that?
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: It says, yes, he's convicted. He was convicted.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was, but it wasn't a real charge. It
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't actually a crime. It'll all be tossed out. But
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: you fell for that? Seriously. You sound like a smart guy.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: You fell for that?
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: So he's not a criminal?
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: No. He wasn't convicted?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Tell me what the crime was.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: 34 counts of defraud in the state of New York.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: He was found guilty of it. Yes or no?
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it all gets tossed out.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: When?
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: When is it going to get tossed out?
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: They're delaying the appeal. But seriously. This is a good
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: example of how this works. People will fall for this stuff.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely fall for it. You know, our greatest legal scholars,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: especially the Alvin Bragg case, our greatest legal scholars, guys
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: like Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz actually said, I've been doing this
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: for 60 years. I still can't figure out what the
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: hell the charge was. There's not any conviction on any
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: of those cases that will stand up anywhere. Every appeals
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: judge has already, they haven't done, If you're the governor,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: you can delay the appeals. But every appeals judge has
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: said this case is absolutely ridiculous. It'll be tossed out instantly.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: But you see, it works. People fall for that. They
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: actually believe that there was a crime committed. Anyway, we
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: got a lot to get to in the next two hours,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: including John McLaughlin, the world's best pollster. We'll see what
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the real numbers are. And hey, don't forget, coming up
• 34:20

  Speaker 2: Well, hey, I'm getting bombarded by emails from attorneys, legal people.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Trump is actually not convicted of anything. You're not convicted
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: until you're sentenced. It's not officially technically conviction without sentencing,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: and they don't sentence him because they know the charges
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: won't stand up. Hey, we've got two more hours to go.
