  Speaker 1: Now, nine till noon weekday. Smart Simone.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Only on 710WOR.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Well, we have breaking news for you. First of all,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Katie Zakaria just did her first briefing. First day on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the job, first briefing. Kept it short. Just went through
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the important stuff she had to inform everybody about. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: then that was it. Didn't take questions. But the big news...
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle has been asked to resign. Let me see
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: if I can find the clip here.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Daily Mail has been reporting on her
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: since last year.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The president said yesterday to reporters that he is considering
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: firing her.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Do you know a timeline for that?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And also, potentially, who could be on the short list
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to replace her if he does?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Just wonderful. Please resign. Well, listen, it's a messy situation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So she has been asked to resign. She doesn't have
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: much choice there. Who's on the short list? I don't
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: think anybody really cares. Who's on the short list to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: be the ambassador of Greece? Anyway, she's out. Kimberly Guilfoyle
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: will most likely resign by the end of the day. Now, again,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it was a number of things. The most recent incident,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this donor came forward. and said that she had racked
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: up this huge American Express bill, and she asked him
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to pay it off, to send $ 100, 000. And she said,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you can wire it just to American Express. It doesn't
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have to be any connection with you and me. He
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. But there's other incidents that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have been reported. Now, there's certain Greek tycoons that have
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: said they've been paying for her travel and for this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and that, and that She told them, I'll make you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, actually a lot of effing money.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: She had access to a lot of Trump stuff, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: she could help them out. So Kimberly Guilfoyle has been
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: asked to resign. It would be a late afternoon in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Greece right now. We'll see what happens. Imagine that she's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: making a lot of phone calls right now to everybody.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: trying to see what can be done. It won't work.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And then probably by the end of the day today,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: she'll resign. So we'll keep an eye on that for you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Zelensky says Russia is still hitting its energy facilities. The
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: president wanted an energy deal where they don't hit the energy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They don't knock out refineries and gas refineries, diesel refineries,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: because it drives the price of oil up. So Zelensky
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: says Russia broke the agreement. Well, if you look at it,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they hit a power plant. That's not what the deal
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was about. The deal was about don't hit oil facilities,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: don't drive up the price of gas. So apparently Russia
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: hit a power plant, but that's a standard part of warfare.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Here's Zelensky.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: If Russia wants us to stop our long-range strikes against
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: its oil refineries and oil exports, then Russia must stop
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: its strikes against our energy system. And critical infrastructure.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He's hard to listen to. Stop talking anyway. So I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: guess he's got a point there, but it's just part
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of warfare. You knock out bridges, you knock out energy.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: When we went to war in Iraq, first day, we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: knocked out the power plants, we knocked out the bridges.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: That's just what you do in a war. University of Chicago,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they got a fraternity there. Sexual assault reported. 21-year-old woman
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: allegedly sexually assaulted at a frat party, University of Chicago.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: This is the problem with these fraternities. You know, that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Cornell situation, as awful as that looks, there's about 8,000
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of these incidents every year in America at colleges, at fraternities.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: 8,000 a year. There's a couple universities that had like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: 200 incidents a year. That's That's a couple every month.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible situation, but it goes on all the time.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Remember this, Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar, the investigation started under Biden.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Just remember that. This is a Biden investigation. The Trump
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: administration is continuing. You know what was awful? This Six
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Flags incident. This father-in-law. He's got his children. He's got
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: his wife. They're on the roller coaster. I don't know
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: what happened. They were investigating. Nobody's explained it yet, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: somehow he goes flying out of the roller coaster, plunging
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to his death. Everybody in the roller coaster has to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: watch this. Apparently, as he went plunging down, he hit
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: other cars, landed on the roof of the haunted house.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I would never get in one of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: those crazy roller coasters. It just looks dangerous. I mean,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I guess they're safe because this is the only incident
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: we've heard about. There must be millions of people riding
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: these things, but it doesn't sound safe. This is not
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a great thing to have happen for Six Flags, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got to look it up and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: see how many times there have been these rollercoaster accidents,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: but it's a horrible, horrible situation. So, hey, Florida is
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: doing pretty well. Florida Losing DeSantis, not the nicest guy,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but he's been a phenomenal governor, phenomenal governor, and his
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: term limited out, can't run again. Byron Donalds, he would
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: be the perfect new governor. He's not the best campaigner.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He's running, but not a great campaigner. President Trump having
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to run down there and help him out. The president
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: will be flying all over the place. Now, Katie Zakaria
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is the new press secretary, and she did say in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: this press briefing, She will travel with the president, which
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: means she's got to take up this brutal schedule where
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you fly all over the country. Every day you fly
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to another place, you fly back. A lot of air travel.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Today he's going to Alaska and coming back. And then
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week, I think tomorrow's Nevada. It's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: just nonstop flying, crisscrossing the country, trying to help the midterms.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The midterms are just too close to call. Looks pretty
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: good for Republicans in the Senate. Now, the problem with Alaska,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Alaska has this stupid ranked choice voting. Democrats put this in.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's a way of legally rigging an election, this dumb
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: ranked choice voting. But the problem with it is when
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's election night in 21 days, you're going to have
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: all these results. And I guarantee you, you're going to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: have to wait on Alaska for about four days until
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they figure out the ranked choice voting, if it's that close. And,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you know, it could be four. 49 for the Republicans
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in the Senate. And then you have to wait days
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to find out if they got Alaska. If the Republicans
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: hit 50, then it won't matter. But Alaska could hold
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: up the election results for a long time. Speaking of Florida, California,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the worst run state. I mean, just a disaster under Newsom.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's so awful to try to do business in California
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that businesses are fleeing like crazy. And even the tech
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: business is the most famous thing in California business, Silicon Valley.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's slowly but surely leaving. And a lot of it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: moving to Florida more and more. A lot of it
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: going to Miami. A lot of it going to West
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach. West Palm Beach, not that big a city,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: but it's becoming a huge city. Steve Roth, the guy
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that built Hudson Yards, major developers, putting skyscrapers, hospitals, office buildings, home,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: everything in there. And more and more builders are there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a major... Come back in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, West Palm Beach will be as
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: big as Miami. But those two places are going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be the new Silicon Valley. And this is going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: make a huge difference for Florida in the future for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: their economy to have these trillion-dollar companies there. So one
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of the results of Newsom is losing their biggest industry
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to Florida. It's just horrible what happened to California. Under...
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: All those Democrats. It used to be a state that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: could go either way. They'd have a Republican governor. They'd
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have a Democratic governor. Go back and forth. Once it
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: became a one-party state, it just went all to hell.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And it's just a disaster. And there's no signs of ever,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ever turning it around. So, hey, you know, the Democrats
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: want to bring back cancel culture. They miss it. It
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was a great way to silence people. you know, the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: cancel culture, one wrong word, you're out, your career is over,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you can never show your face in public again. So
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they want to start with Shane Gillis, who was on
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. He was the host this past week.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And in the monologue, they think what he said was
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so offensive that he should be canceled. It really wasn't bad.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It was, I mean, it was, he was making fun
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of women. He hadn't been in a gym in a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: long time. So now he's going to the gym again.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He didn't know that women dressed like whores. And he
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: started to describe, you know, sometimes you're in a gym
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and they're wearing this little skimpy shorts. And I mean, listen,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it got a big laugh from the audience. If you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: watch it, the audience is laughing like crazy, but the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cancel culture says it was misogynist and how dare he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: use the word whore or women. And so there's an
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: effort now to cancel and we'll see if they can
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: restart this cancel culture. They're trying with him. If it
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: fails with him, it most likely will fail for good.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But they're going to keep trying and keep trying. Are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you following that, Kevin? Clarkson story? Kelly Clarkson goes into it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: There's something, she saw it in a picture store in Brooklyn.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: She wants this, whatever it is, it's some big thing
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on the wall. And she goes in to buy it
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and they won't sell it to her. So she starts
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: this whole thing online and it went super viral about
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: how this store treated her like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: You know, they thought she didn't have any money and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they treated her like crap and they wouldn't sell it
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to her. So it got millions of hits and the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: store got all kinds of trouble out of this. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: their side of it is, which could be the truth,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they said it's not anything for sale. It's something we
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: have decorating our walls. We bought it to decorate the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: store with. You know, a lot of times you go
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: into a store and they've got an incredible painting on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the wall. They got an incredible something on the, it's,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it's to decorate the store. It's not for sale. It's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: not what they sell. So they may have a good
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: point there. And they said, they told her, here's the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: guy who makes these. You can get one from him,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: but we're not selling this. It's part of our store decoration.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. Who do you believe there? I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: kind of believe the store in that because she offered
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of money for it, but, but if it's
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: really just decor, why would they sell it to her? She's,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So she may be wrong on this one. Now, Selma Blair,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: there's no debate here. Yeah, you're just not supposed to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: do that on a plane. Not right. Sean Diddy Combs,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: taken from a New Jersey prison yesterday to a hospital
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for a head injury. He got to the hospital. He
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: left the prison at 1 a.m. He was back by
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: 7 a.m.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: So....
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't that serious, but, uh, some kind
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of serious, serious head injury, uh, could have been a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: fight in prison, could have been, uh, something, obviously some
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: violence there. Uh, the problem is, uh, it came out
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a while ago that he was, you remember the scene
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: in Goodfellas where the mob guys are in prison and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the guards are bringing them steak and lobsters and champagne
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and they're paying off everybody. Well, it came out that, uh,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Diddy was getting that kind of treatment, that he was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: getting massages, alcohol, special meals, regular cleaning of his toilet
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and shower. He had his own cell phone. He got
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: all the porn he wanted. So when that came out,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: apparently they threw him back into the general population, I guess.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And then he comes out of the hospital with this
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: terrible head injury. But he's back in prison now. Harry Styles, listen,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: these people can't help it. Harry Styles doing a concert,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, in the middle of the concert, starts
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: yelling and screaming about ICE, gives the whole audience a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: lecture about ICE. And again, this Oscar, Oscar, poor Oscar.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Oscar's the dangerous criminal who ICE was trying to arrest
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in New York. Oscar's a career criminal. He's only been
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: in the country three years. He's already got a pretty
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: good rap sheet. Neighbors say he was awful, evil, menacing.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Walked around with a machete threatening them. But this is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: who Harry Styles is sticking up for. But it got
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a cheer out of the crowd. Harry Styles said, I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: just want to take a moment to think about Oscar
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Belgal tonight. Oscar, who Ice had to shoot at because... Now, Mamdani...
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: He was saying he wants to change police procedure. He said,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you're taught never to shoot at a moving vehicle. Yeah, well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that's true. In the police academy, they'll teach you if
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you're trying to stop a guy, a criminal, he gets
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: into his car and starts to drive away, don't shoot
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: at a moving vehicle. You might hit somebody. But it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't apply if the vehicle is trying to run you over.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: If it's coming right at you, then you can shoot
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the vehicle. There's a big difference that Mamdani doesn't seem
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to grasp. Stiles, after his little lecture about Oscar, did
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: get back to playing music, so that's good news. Again,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you're going to hear about this Oscar, Oscar, Oscar all
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the time. here's that chevalier, that crazy kook socialist.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: The other thing that really angered me was when Police
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Commissioner Tisch came out. I understand that it is her
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: role to provide more information, and that is why she
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: comes to these press conferences. But rather than condemn ICE,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: rather than condemn the shooting or the events that had
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: just taken place, she started to villainize ICE.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Oscar, right.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Villainize him.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Oscar is literally a villain. He's exactly a villain. She
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: villainized him because he's a villain. He's a career criminal.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's got gang affiliations. He's been caught with robbery and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. He, as I say, the neighbors say
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: he was menacing them with a machete. He is a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: bad guy. When the police tried to arrest him, he
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: tried to run them over with his car. That would
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: be a villain. He would qualify as a villain. by
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: any rational definition. But they love Oscar. You're going to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: hear a lot about this Oscar. You're going to see
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Oscar t-shirts. They're going to build Oscar statues. You're going
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to have Bruce Springsteen writing a song about Oscar. It's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: not going to stop. It's just starting. Hey, we'll take
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
