- 0:00Speaker 1: No, No, Mark Zillman show nine till noon weekday for
- 0:04Speaker 1: Mark seventy ten. Wo okay, if you're a Democrat, cover
- 0:11Speaker 1: your ears for a moment. The price of oil dropping again,
- 0:15Speaker 1: down three dollars today, the price of oil now seventy seven.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Remember the worst point during this Iran stuff, it was
- 0:23Speaker 1: up to about one hundred and ten, so it would
- 0:25Speaker 1: be down over thirty dollars a barrel since then. Hey,
- 0:29Speaker 1: you know you're going to see these crime numbers come
- 0:31Speaker 1: out that it's the lowest crime rate, lowest murder rate
- 0:35Speaker 1: in fifty years, thirty years, the lowest crime rate. Crime
- 0:38Speaker 1: is down overall, lowest. You're going to hear this all
- 0:42Speaker 1: over the place. But digging into the numbers, hate crimes
- 0:47Speaker 1: have soared under Mom Donnie. It's only six months of
- 0:50Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, but hate crimes are up ten percent and
- 0:55Speaker 1: it's mostly Jewish hate crime. A year to date, hate
- 0:59Speaker 1: crime jumped from three hundred and twenty five last year
- 1:02Speaker 1: to three hundred and sixty thirty three coming in July alone.
- 1:06Speaker 1: That's a lot for one month hate crimes. More than
- 1:09Speaker 1: half fifty seven percent were anti Jewish hate crime. Remember
- 1:15Speaker 1: the Jewish population of New York only ten percent, Yet
- 1:18Speaker 1: they were fifty seven percent of the hate crime. Now,
- 1:22Speaker 1: other major crimes are experiencing major dips across the board.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Shootings are way down, down twenty one percent year to date.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Murder was down thirty two percent in July, twenty three
- 1:35Speaker 1: percent year to date. That's good. But burglary, auto theft, robbery,
- 1:42Speaker 1: grand larceny, and felony assaults also down. That's even better,
- 1:49Speaker 1: twenty five percent year to date. So that's pretty good.
- 1:52Speaker 1: But you got this hate crime problem, and that's not good. Hey,
- 1:56Speaker 1: you know Ferrari. I hate Ferrari. You have a ride
- 2:01Speaker 1: in a Ferrari, it's like taking an Mri. It's like
- 2:03Speaker 1: the most uncomfortable car ever built. It does have a
- 2:07Speaker 1: nice engine sound, you know, when you do it, it's
- 2:11Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh. And whenever you know a Ferrari pulls up,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you see a Ferrari pull up, a red Ferrari, it's unbelievable.
- 2:18Speaker 1: You wat and stop. You want to see who gets
- 2:20Speaker 1: out of this and the Ferrari the doors open up
- 2:25Speaker 1: and stepping out of the Ferrari, it's always like irving
- 2:28Speaker 1: lipshits from great neck. It's never you're waiting for James
- 2:31Speaker 1: Bond to get out of the car. It's never, or
- 2:33Speaker 1: it's Chad from Darienne, Connecticut with his vineyard vines vest On.
- 2:38Speaker 1: It's never. Who should be in a Ferrari. It looks
- 2:41Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. But Ferrari's got a problem. You know, these
- 2:45Speaker 1: electric cars, uh, maybe two years ago you had to
- 2:49Speaker 1: be in the electric car business. So everybody, Mercedes, BMW,
- 2:53Speaker 1: although BMW just got out of the electric car business,
- 2:56Speaker 1: not gonna make them anymore. They'll make a couple of hybrids.
- 2:59Speaker 1: But Ferrari decided to make their first electric car. It's
- 3:05Speaker 1: an electric Ferrari. Now, the whole point of the Ferrari
- 3:07Speaker 1: is that engine that poof. You turn on your electric car,
- 3:12Speaker 1: all you hear is nothing. There's no sound. So this
- 3:17Speaker 1: is this Ferrari electric car is six hundred and forty
- 3:21Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It's half a million dollars for this, more
- 3:25Speaker 1: than half a million. The problem is, besides the fact
- 3:29Speaker 1: nobody wants an electric Ferrari, nobody wants a quiet Ferrari
- 3:32Speaker 1: that makes no noise. Everybody, every reviewer, everybody, customers are
- 3:36Speaker 1: saying it's hideous, it looks ugly, it's a monstrosity. It's
- 3:41Speaker 1: called the loose, which is that's the Italian word for light.
- 3:46Speaker 1: It looks like exactly like a thirty thousand dollars Nissan.
- 3:50Speaker 1: The effect that design does look pretty similar. Now here's
- 3:53Speaker 1: the thing. Who designed this Ferrari. Well, they brought in
- 3:57Speaker 1: Johnny Ives, who was the great designer of all the
- 4:00Speaker 1: Apple products. He designed the iPhone, the iPod, he designed
- 4:05Speaker 1: the iPads. I mean, he said, was the great designer
- 4:07Speaker 1: of Apple products. But that doesn't mean you know how
- 4:10Speaker 1: to do a car. So apparently this thing is considered
- 4:14Speaker 1: a total disaster. Even the former Ferrari chairman, he was
- 4:20Speaker 1: chairman of Ferrari for years, Luca Montezamelo, he just stepped
- 4:26Speaker 1: down a couple years ago, he said. They asked him.
- 4:29Speaker 1: He said, I cannot say what I think I would
- 4:32Speaker 1: harm Ferrari. We risk the destruction of a legend. So sorry,
- 4:36Speaker 1: So not a good car. But if you want one
- 4:40Speaker 1: that's six hundred and forty thousand, I'm sure they'll be
- 4:42Speaker 1: discounted pretty soon. Let's take some calls. Let's go to
- 4:46Speaker 1: Robert in Westchester. Robert, how you doing, Good.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Morning, Mark, and welcome to the nine o'clock hour.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Yes so, Mark, judge.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Janini has been a loyal and faithful supporter with Dob Trump,
- 5:01Speaker 2: and you know, for him to say to her you
- 5:03Speaker 2: know you choke, you choke, and embarrass her that way
- 5:06Speaker 2: on the public stage. I mean, Mark, not for nothing,
- 5:09Speaker 2: but what's he been doing for the past four months
- 5:11Speaker 2: with Iran every time the coup de g was called.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Now, you can't, you can't compare the two.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Thing.
- 5:16Speaker 1: That's a silly comparison. You're talking about killing. Uh, you're
- 5:19Speaker 1: killing many many people versus just running a court case.
- 5:22Speaker 1: You can you can take more risk in a court case.
- 5:24Speaker 1: You can't compare the two. You can't compare the two.
- 5:27Speaker 1: That's two different things.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, but you know this depends
- 5:30Speaker 2: on our lives and the lives of the people.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Actually, well, now you've jumbled up, you've conflated everything into everything.
- 5:36Speaker 1: So but your original question, Janine Pirol is a loyal friend. Yeah,
- 5:41Speaker 1: but listen, anytime you got a problem with some employee
- 5:44Speaker 1: and they've screwed up something, you may have to yell
- 5:47Speaker 1: at them, you may even have to fireman. Probably in
- 5:49Speaker 1: every case it was a loyal employee for years. But
- 5:51Speaker 1: if they screw up they screw up. Now, in her case,
- 5:53Speaker 1: I don't know that she screwed up. I mean, if
- 5:55Speaker 1: there's no case there and she's the frontline prosecutor. But
- 5:59Speaker 1: she probably should have called him and discussed this with
- 6:01Speaker 1: him and said you gotta drop this. We're gonna lose this.
- 6:05Speaker 1: She didn't do that. She just dropped it without checking
- 6:08Speaker 1: with him. And as de Niro said in The Irishman,
- 6:12Speaker 1: I should have checked. I know I should have checked.
- 6:15Speaker 1: So that's the problem. Now he was pretty mad, yelling
- 6:18Speaker 1: and screaming about her choking. But she did go to
- 6:22Speaker 1: the White House last night to meet with him in person.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It might be too little, too late. We'll see what happens. Hey,
- 6:28Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. I don't go away.
- 6:30Speaker 1: We'll we'll be getting to uh if you if you're
- 6:35Speaker 1: some dumb ideas from mom Donnie grocery stores. This is
- 6:41Speaker 1: maybe his dumbest one yet. He's come up with he's
- 6:43Speaker 1: gonna have camping and you can get a permit to
- 6:46Speaker 1: go camping in Central Park. Well, we'll get to this
- 6:50Speaker 1: in a moment. Coming up on seven to ten, wor's
- 6:54Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show Live from the woor Life Back Studios.
- 7:01Speaker 1: That's right, nine am to noon. The show now starts
- 7:04Speaker 1: an hour earlier. We're on nine am to noon, three
- 7:07Speaker 1: hours every day. If you're a Democrat, please cover your ears.
- 7:11Speaker 1: We have very bad news. Cover your ears. Stock market
- 7:17Speaker 1: has hit an all time high, set a new record
- 7:20Speaker 1: seven hundred point surge, hitting a new record. Price of
- 7:24Speaker 1: oil is down. I know you're saying, hey, you just
- 7:27Speaker 1: said that that twenty minutes ago. No, No, I mean
- 7:29Speaker 1: it's down from twenty minutes ago. It's dropped another dollar.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Scott Besson indicating a deal is very near to reopen
- 7:37Speaker 1: the strait of Hormoose and that it will happen possibly
- 7:41Speaker 1: possibly later today or tomorrow. Bessn't very careful when he speaks,
- 7:46Speaker 1: so he wouldn't say that if he didn't didn't know something.
- 7:49Speaker 1: So apparently there'll be a horror Moose deal within the
- 7:52Speaker 1: next maybe later today or tomorrow. Bernie Sanders is really
- 8:00Speaker 1: we talk about this yesterday. Who's the leader of the
- 8:02Speaker 1: Democratic Party. It's normally the former president. Normally it would
- 8:06Speaker 1: be Biden. Biden's too old, he's a completely brain dead,
- 8:11Speaker 1: doesn't know where he is, okay, So then it would
- 8:13Speaker 1: be Obama would be the leader. But you'll notice Obama
- 8:16Speaker 1: wants nothing to do with this stuff. Behind the scenes,
- 8:19Speaker 1: he may be pulling a million strings, but publicly he vanished.
- 8:23Speaker 1: He's completely under the radar here. So who is it, Well,
- 8:27Speaker 1: most people think it's Bernie Sanders. He seems to be
- 8:29Speaker 1: leading the party. He's the most visible leader in the party.
- 8:34Speaker 1: The guys who hold the highest offices, Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries,
- 8:38Speaker 1: they're all terrified, they're cowards. They're hiding under their desks.
- 8:42Speaker 1: So it's Bernie Sanders, and yesterday went on a tirade
- 8:46Speaker 1: blasting the Democratic establishment. He's talking about Schumer and Pelosi
- 8:51Speaker 1: and Hakeem Jeffries. Bernie Sanders says, all of these people,
- 8:56Speaker 1: the Democratic establishment way way, way out of touch. He's
- 9:00Speaker 1: just attacking them left and right. Maybe the Democratic establishment
- 9:05Speaker 1: should begin to understand they are way out of touch
- 9:07Speaker 1: of where the American people are. This is coming from
- 9:12Speaker 1: a crazy socialist. We don't need a party anymore which
- 9:15Speaker 1: is dominated by wealthy campaign contributors. Well, that would be
- 9:21Speaker 1: the Democrats. Between George Soros and Nevill Roy Singman and
- 9:25Speaker 1: all those reid Hoffmans and all those tech billionaires, that
- 9:28Speaker 1: would be the Democrats. But you can't tell that to
- 9:31Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. So he went on to blast the Democrats
- 9:34Speaker 1: for cow towing the billionaire donors. Oh okay, so he's
- 9:38Speaker 1: saying it too. But I think what the Democratic Party
- 9:42Speaker 1: should become is a party of working people. Well you
- 9:46Speaker 1: drove them away. They're all Trump supporters. Now, you totally
- 9:49Speaker 1: totally turned away the working class, the middle class, the
- 9:52Speaker 1: blue collar workers, they have no use for you. Or
- 9:56Speaker 1: we should be a party of young people, Well you
- 9:58Speaker 1: got that, you can do it. Have that, well, people
- 10:01Speaker 1: who understand what it's like to struggle, Well you don't
- 10:04Speaker 1: have that, and living in your parents' basement not a
- 10:08Speaker 1: big struggle. Were prepared to take on the oligarchs. Well,
- 10:14Speaker 1: the oligarchs, you listen, you've always had successful people and
- 10:19Speaker 1: the idea if you have people that are making afford
- 10:21Speaker 1: You've always had that. You know, you can go back
- 10:23Speaker 1: to the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts and the Whitneys and all
- 10:27Speaker 1: of that. They were multi, multi, multi billionaires if you
- 10:31Speaker 1: were just for inflation, and there's always been that. You know,
- 10:34Speaker 1: the car guys that started all those car companies, beginning
- 10:36Speaker 1: the Resilion and now it's the guys running the tech
- 10:39Speaker 1: companies announced the AI guys Earth, you're always going to
- 10:41Speaker 1: have that, and if you don't have that, you're not
- 10:43Speaker 1: gonna have any jobs. They create all the jobs. Hey,
- 10:46Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
- 10:49Speaker 1: how you doing.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I'm doing very well.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Mark. This report from the Chicago Sun Times recently caught
- 10:57Speaker 4: my attention. Governor J. D. Pritzker is going to institute
- 11:01Speaker 4: a cell phone ban in schools, which will include tablets,
- 11:05Speaker 4: smart watches, personal laptops, smart glasses, and gaming devices.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Mark.
- 11:11Speaker 4: My question is is this going to be the same
- 11:13Speaker 4: similar policy in New York from Governor Hokeel.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be the same thing. You can't a
- 11:21Speaker 1: lot of things you can criticize Pritzker for, but this
- 11:24Speaker 1: is pretty much going on around the country, these cell
- 11:27Speaker 1: phone bands. It might be a good I don't know.
- 11:29Speaker 1: I don't know. When I was a kid, I couldn't
- 11:31Speaker 1: stand school, I couldn't pay attention. I would sneak a
- 11:35Speaker 1: comic book under my desk and be reading comic books
- 11:38Speaker 1: or something. But and my little fantasy back then was
- 11:41Speaker 1: there was no such thing but to have like a
- 11:43Speaker 1: little TV set I could watch while in school. Yeah,
- 11:48Speaker 1: I mean you just hide it under your desk, a
- 11:50Speaker 1: TV set or something like or radio you could listen
- 11:53Speaker 1: to in class. I think I did that for a while.
- 11:56Speaker 1: I think I figured out how to hide an earphone
- 11:58Speaker 1: in my ear with the teacher not sing it. But
- 12:01Speaker 1: had we had the cell phone back then, I would
- 12:03Speaker 1: have been watching TV all day in school. I wouldn't
- 12:05Speaker 1: have been paying any attention. So I don't know it's
- 12:08Speaker 1: a bad idea. I mean, Pritzkers got terrible governor this East,
- 12:11Speaker 1: that big fat slob Ralph Cramdon looking guy. But I
- 12:16Speaker 1: don't know if I can fault him for this one. Okay, now,
- 12:18Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, this guy is one crazy scheme after another.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It's Mom Donnie's new parks Department. The New York City
- 12:26Speaker 1: Parks Department wants to start a program for camping camping
- 12:33Speaker 1: in Central Park, actually all the New York City parks.
- 12:37Speaker 1: They're gonna have to know if a lot of people
- 12:39Speaker 1: want to do this, you can't have everybody camping, So
- 12:41Speaker 1: they're gonna have a lottery where you can win a
- 12:44Speaker 1: chance to go camping in a park. Central Park. The
- 12:48Speaker 1: other New York City Parks from August eighth until September eighteenth.
- 12:52Speaker 1: The city will provide the tents. You got to bring
- 12:54Speaker 1: your own, betting everything else. There will be urban park
- 12:58Speaker 1: rangers to help out. They will lead nighttime hikes through
- 13:02Speaker 1: the woods, storytelling and s'mores. The Parks Department thinks this
- 13:08Speaker 1: will get a huge turnout the overnight. It's overnight overnight
- 13:11Speaker 1: camping events all over New York City's park on a
- 13:14Speaker 1: rolling basis. Applications must be submitted Each camping will event
- 13:21Speaker 1: will host about thirty people, ranging from five to eight families.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Who the hell would want to camp in Central Park?
- 13:29Speaker 1: I could, first all, I wouldn't want to go camping anywhere,
- 13:31Speaker 1: but I can see go camping somewhere out in the woods.
- 13:35Speaker 1: But Central Park. You're gonna have rats in your tent.
- 13:37Speaker 1: You're gonna have homeless people all around your tent in
- 13:40Speaker 1: the middle of Central Park. Who that would go in
- 13:42Speaker 1: there at night? The urban park ranger they call it, yeah,
- 13:46Speaker 1: like he's gonna really be paying attention. We'll see if
- 13:50Speaker 1: anybody applies for this. It's not just Central Park, it's
- 13:53Speaker 1: all the other parks, and it's a city tent. Can
- 13:57Speaker 1: you imagine the city tent and you got to bring
- 14:00Speaker 1: your own bed. I mean, if you got all this camping,
- 14:02Speaker 1: if you own camping equipment, I assume you know where
- 14:05Speaker 1: to go camping. You don't need to do it in
- 14:07Speaker 1: Central Park. You wouldn't have bought all this equipment if
- 14:09Speaker 1: you didn't have a place to go use it. Another
- 14:11Speaker 1: ridiculous Donnie idea. But he loves the not to mention
- 14:17Speaker 1: you camping in Central Park. You leave your tent for
- 14:20Speaker 1: two seconds, youre gonna come back and find twelve homeless
- 14:22Speaker 1: people sleeping in your bed. This is the dumbest idea ever.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Let's go to Maria in Terrytown. Maria, how you doing.
- 14:30Speaker 3: King Mark? On the subject of lower crime in New York.
- 14:35Speaker 3: How come no one is logically saying it's connected with
- 14:40Speaker 3: the fact that they were removing.
- 14:43Speaker 2: All the migrants.
- 14:44Speaker 3: That's why there's lower crimes.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, that's a very good point.
- 14:48Speaker 1: And it took out a lot of illegal criminals. These
- 14:50Speaker 1: are robbers, These are all sorts of nut jobs, these
- 14:54Speaker 1: are gang members. You're right, that's a good point. Then
- 14:56Speaker 1: credit Tom Holman. I mean, the police, of course deserve
- 15:00Speaker 1: a lot of the credit. But that's a very good point.
- 15:03Speaker 1: In fact, we should check other cities where they've removed
- 15:05Speaker 1: a lot of migrants to see if a similar drop
- 15:07Speaker 1: in crime occurred. Hey, Kathy Hochel is running against Bruce Blakeman.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Blakeman would be the greatest governor. He is a governor. Now,
- 15:16Speaker 1: when you're the county executive, it's basically a governor's job.
- 15:19Speaker 1: And he's been phenomenal for whatever it is seventy how
- 15:23Speaker 1: long is it? Five six years of NASA County been excellent,
- 15:26Speaker 1: So he'd be the perfect governor, Bruce Blakeman. You should
- 15:30Speaker 1: help him out. Go to blakemanfornew York dot com. But
- 15:34Speaker 1: he's not the only one running for stuff. There's a
- 15:36Speaker 1: lot of people running all over Long Island. There's a
- 15:38Speaker 1: lot of Democratic candidates running. Tom Swazi is running, Laura
- 15:43Speaker 1: Gillan is running. They've all got campaigns, they all got websites.
- 15:47Speaker 1: The Democratic Party has their websites for their re election
- 15:51Speaker 1: on Long Island. Guess what, none of them. None of
- 15:55Speaker 1: them mentioned Kathy Hochl on their websites. Local has endorsed them,
- 16:02Speaker 1: but they don't mention the endorsement from her on the website.
- 16:05Speaker 1: So apparently this tells you something. Now, this is not Republicans.
- 16:08Speaker 1: These are Democrats who just don't mention Kathy Hochl anywhere
- 16:14Speaker 1: on their website. They don't want to be associated with her.
- 16:17Speaker 1: There's other congressional candidates, several other local state politicians who
- 16:21Speaker 1: on their websites don't list Hokel. There is no mention
- 16:26Speaker 1: of Hokel on these Democratic sites. So that tells you
- 16:29Speaker 1: how what they think of her in democratic world. I
- 16:32Speaker 1: think Blakeman's got a great shot to win, a very
- 16:35Speaker 1: very good chance of winning. He was always far behind
- 16:38Speaker 1: and when he ran in Nassau County both times and
- 16:41Speaker 1: he came from behind and won. And he's doing that now.
- 16:44Speaker 1: He's getting higher and higher and hiring the polls. He's
- 16:46Speaker 1: now four or five points behind right now. That's from
- 16:49Speaker 1: twenty three points up to four or five points behind.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And this isn't even really the race yet. It doesn't
- 16:55Speaker 1: even start really seriously until after Labor Day. Hi, I
- 17:00Speaker 1: got my instagram. There's always a lot of stuff up there.
- 17:03Speaker 1: What's up? Oh, actually, you know what, there's a good candidate.
- 17:08Speaker 1: You can take a look at her on my instagram.
- 17:10Speaker 1: She is running for Jerry Nadler's old seat. She's the
- 17:12Speaker 1: Republican candidate, Caroline Shinkle. Make sure you vote for her too,
- 17:17Speaker 1: because we got finally getting rid of that waddling, fat
- 17:20Speaker 1: slab by Jerry Nadler. But she's the good choice for
- 17:23Speaker 1: that seat. What else is on my Instagram? Oh, anniversary
- 17:27Speaker 1: dinner last night for Larry Kudlow and his wife. Take
- 17:29Speaker 1: a look at the video and a whole lot more.
