Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's the third and final hour.
- 0:10Speaker 1: That's right.
- 0:10Speaker 2: We start at 9 o'clock every morning now. It's 9
- 0:13Speaker 2: to noon. It's a three-hour show every day. So UN
- 0:19Speaker 2: Gridlock Week is here. This goes on for a few weeks,
- 0:23Speaker 2: but this is the week where all the world leaders
- 0:25Speaker 2: come in. So all the world leaders are here today.
- 0:28Speaker 2: You're going to see gridlock everywhere because of this UN
- 0:33Speaker 2: General Assembly. And by the way, if you're trying to
- 0:34Speaker 2: get a hooker, you will not be able to get
- 0:36Speaker 2: a hooker today. They are all tied up all week.
- 0:40Speaker 2: You will not be able to get a hooker. And
- 0:42Speaker 2: this is not a joke. Call girls, prostitutes, hookers, escorts
- 0:49Speaker 2: have come in from all over the world. This is
- 0:52Speaker 2: the biggest week of the year for them. They are
- 0:56Speaker 2: all in New York right now. But if you're a
- 0:58Speaker 2: local and you go to Hooker's all the time, you
- 1:00Speaker 2: will not be able to get one this week. I'm sorry.
- 1:03Speaker 2: They're tied up with these UN General Assembly idiots. The
- 1:08Speaker 2: agenda is always climate change, world this, world that. They've
- 1:13Speaker 2: added AI to it this week. In fact, Sam Altman, OpenAI,
- 1:18Speaker 2: he will speak there this week. This whole thing about
- 1:21Speaker 2: this whole scheme about.
- 1:25Speaker 2: AI is going to kill us all. It has a
- 1:29Speaker 2: number of components to it. It was all carefully thought out.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Obama has been the one behind the scenes carefully orchestrating this.
- 1:36Speaker 2: It has a number of purposes. One is to use
- 1:42Speaker 2: as an election issue. Climate change is not working anymore.
- 1:45Speaker 2: It doesn't work as an election issue. It doesn't scare
- 1:47Speaker 2: anybody anymore because they've been hearing this for 30 years
- 1:50Speaker 2: and nothing has happened. So it doesn't scare anybody. So
- 1:53Speaker 2: This is the new climate change. They're going to use AI.
- 1:56Speaker 2: It's an old democratic technique. They always have some huge
- 1:59Speaker 2: boogeyman that you have to be terrified of, and only
- 2:02Speaker 2: they can save you from it. The Republicans will not
- 2:05Speaker 2: save you from it. So this is the new boogeyman.
- 2:07Speaker 2: The AI is going to kill us all. The other
- 2:09Speaker 2: thing is the cartel, it's four big AI companies. They're
- 2:14Speaker 2: basically a cartel. They would like to get all this
- 2:17Speaker 2: government regulation and red tape because they currently control the
- 2:20Speaker 2: whole thing. The government regulation in red tape will keep
- 2:24Speaker 2: any newcomers out. This is their big fear. New companies
- 2:28Speaker 2: can come and rise up and suddenly take over. And
- 2:31Speaker 2: they've seen it before in the tech world. Nobody could
- 2:34Speaker 2: come near MySpace. And then Facebook came and took all
- 2:38Speaker 2: their business away. And something like a TikTok, somebody can
- 2:43Speaker 2: just come in and rise up. So they want the
- 2:45Speaker 2: government red tape and bureaucracy to keep, to basically build
- 2:49Speaker 2: a moat. around their cartel so nobody else can come in.
- 2:52Speaker 2: That's another one. There's a whole bunch of reasons they
- 2:55Speaker 2: want this. But the UN wants in on it too
- 3:00Speaker 2: because the other thing, this cartel, these AI companies, the
- 3:03Speaker 2: cartel has a trillion dollars to throw around. They've already
- 3:07Speaker 2: passed out $ 40 million to congressmen, $ 40 million in just
- 3:11Speaker 2: the last week or two, and there's more of that coming.
- 3:14Speaker 2: The UN would like some of this action. And they'd
- 3:17Speaker 2: also like to pretend they're going to be the regulators
- 3:19Speaker 2: of AI all over the world. Now, of course, the
- 3:22Speaker 2: UN can't regulate anything. They're totally useless. They have never
- 3:26Speaker 2: been able to accomplish anything anywhere. It's basically just a
- 3:30Speaker 2: VIP lounge for dictators over there on the east side.
- 3:34Speaker 2: A lot of people talking about getting rid of the UN,
- 3:39Speaker 2: throwing it the hell out of New York. The mayoral candidate,
- 3:42Speaker 2: Michael Rappaport, saying James Dolan should take over UN headquarters,
- 3:46Speaker 2: make it into a practice facility for the nicks and
- 3:50Speaker 2: the rangers or whoever so uh the president uh you
- 3:54Speaker 2: know banned ms now cnn politico very very left-wing slanted
- 4:02Speaker 2: organizations i don't know if you really call them news
- 4:04Speaker 2: organizations they're just bash trump organizations although politico does actually
- 4:10Speaker 2: report news a lot of political news cnn ms now
- 4:13Speaker 2: basically just uh political activists so But they're going to court.
- 4:19Speaker 2: They have announced they will sue. Now, the problem is
- 4:25Speaker 2: the president's team could go into court and argue that
- 4:29Speaker 2: they can't be called news organizations because they have broadcast
- 4:32Speaker 2: so much fake news. And I was reading a list before.
- 4:36Speaker 2: There's a million things I never got to on this
- 4:38Speaker 2: list where they just lied and they got caught a
- 4:42Speaker 2: million times. lying fake news. Nobody's been caught more than
- 4:47Speaker 2: Rachel Maddow with fake news. And it'll be interesting to see, uh,
- 4:53Speaker 2: what comes out in court. They could really document how
- 4:56Speaker 2: much fake news these people broadcast. Just go story by story.
- 4:59Speaker 2: You could list hundreds of stories that turned out to
- 5:01Speaker 2: be fake. You could list hundreds of stories. They refused
- 5:05Speaker 2: to air major news stories because it was too favorable
- 5:09Speaker 2: to the president. Uh, Well, I think he's talking about here.
- 5:15Speaker 4: I don't want him in my office. I don't want
- 5:17Speaker 4: him here. I would say the band would go as
- 5:19Speaker 4: far as you can. And if they could straighten themselves out,
- 5:23Speaker 4: you know, if they could straighten themselves out, I'd love it. Look,
- 5:26Speaker 4: they're very dishonest people.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the argument is you'd let him in
- 5:30Speaker 2: the White House. Doesn't mean you have to let him
- 5:31Speaker 2: in the Oval Office.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Politico and MS Now, which nobody ever heard of. and CNN,
- 5:38Speaker 4: which is doing very poorly. The reason they do so
- 5:41Speaker 4: poorly is because they have no credibility. And if they
- 5:44Speaker 4: had credibility, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. So
- 5:47Speaker 4: we are banning them.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Yes, we are. Yeah.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Now, Biden wanted to do this with Fox. Obama tried
- 5:54Speaker 2: to do it with Fox. They didn't have the nerve
- 5:55Speaker 2: to stick to their guns, but we'll see what happens here.
- 5:57Speaker 2: But Trump has made a lot of money from all
- 5:59Speaker 2: this lying. They've had to pay Trump money because they
- 6:02Speaker 2: lied about him, these organizations.
- 6:03Speaker 4: ABC Fake News gave me $ 16 million that was agreed to,
- 6:08Speaker 4: $ 16 million that I won from ABC News because George
- 6:13Speaker 4: Slapadopoulos wrote incorrect stuff. CBS gave me $ 38 million because
- 6:19Speaker 4: they broadcast Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes and the question
- 6:24Speaker 4: borrowed no relationship to what she said. You saw that.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 2: So, and the reason they paid the money, they wouldn't
- 6:31Speaker 2: have survived in court. They wouldn't have been able to
- 6:33Speaker 2: get through a trial. Hey, also remember, uh, President Trump
- 6:38Speaker 2: was banned from all social media. Twitter banned him. Instagram
- 6:42Speaker 2: banned him. They banned him. They took away his accounts.
- 6:45Speaker 2: They totally banned him from social media. That's just, I mean,
- 6:51Speaker 2: that's worse than this. I mean, the fact that they
- 6:53Speaker 2: can't come in the White House doesn't mean they can't
- 6:55Speaker 2: cover this. They still are on the air. They can
- 6:58Speaker 2: say whatever they want. You don't need to be in
- 7:00Speaker 2: the White House to cover it. We're not in the
- 7:02Speaker 2: White House. We cover it just fine. But to be
- 7:06Speaker 2: banned from all social media, to take your platform away,
- 7:09Speaker 2: that's much worse. Hey, there's a new book by Victor
- 7:13Speaker 2: Davis Hanson, the great writer, about Trump, how he was
- 7:18Speaker 2: totally wiped out and made the comeback to the White House.
- 7:23Speaker 2: It's a fabulous book. It's now number one on the
- 7:26Speaker 2: New York Times bestseller list. Just look it up, the
- 7:29Speaker 2: new Victor Davis Hanson book. Really an amazing book. And
- 7:34Speaker 2: it starts... With where he went called, let me just
- 7:38Speaker 2: get the book cover here, The Counter-Revolution. The Counter-Revolution, how
- 7:43Speaker 2: he battled his way back. Now, it starts with Trump.
- 7:47Speaker 2: People forget he had just been banned from all social media.
- 7:52Speaker 2: He had no platform, absolutely no way to reach out
- 7:56Speaker 2: to people online. He was banned from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
- 7:59Speaker 2: totally banned. He was debanked. All the banks banned him,
- 8:05Speaker 2: closed his accounts, which means he couldn't even write a check.
- 8:09Speaker 2: He was suddenly indicted in five separate criminal trials. They
- 8:12Speaker 2: were going to put him in jail. You couldn't be
- 8:15Speaker 2: in a worse situation. The guy never flinched, never blinked,
- 8:20Speaker 2: slowly but surely battled his way back and won the
- 8:24Speaker 2: White House. It's a great book by Victor Davis Hanson.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Everybody should read it. Just get the book. It's already
- 8:32Speaker 2: number one. New York Times bestseller, this great book. Just
- 8:35Speaker 2: get the book. Now, what's going to happen with the midterms?
- 8:39Speaker 2: We'll get to that a little later this hour. We'll
- 8:40Speaker 2: have the greatest and single best pollster in the world on.
- 8:44Speaker 2: We'll go over the numbers, what's going to happen in
- 8:46Speaker 2: the midterms. Hey, Bruce Blakeman, this is an interesting interview
- 8:51Speaker 2: where he talks about his ex-wife, Nancy Chavelle, who was
- 8:57Speaker 2: a very nice woman. I know her very well, knew
- 8:59Speaker 2: her father very well. Bruce Blakeman's first wife. They got divorced.
- 9:04Speaker 2: This happens all the time. People get divorced. It happens
- 9:07Speaker 2: in most marriages. Bruce Blakeman went on to marry a
- 9:13Speaker 2: wonderful woman who's a very prominent judge in Long Island.
- 9:16Speaker 2: They were very happily married. And then his ex-wife, Nancy,
- 9:21Speaker 2: went on to marry Paul McCartney. So Blakeman was asked
- 9:24Speaker 2: about this. What is it like to have your ex
- 9:27Speaker 2: marry a Beatle and the Beatle And he said, it's
- 9:32Speaker 2: kind of surreal. It's really surreal. Blakeman, very complimentary about McCartney,
- 9:38Speaker 2: said he's been a wonderful father to their son. He's
- 9:42Speaker 2: been great with their son. He's been a very nice guy.
- 9:44Speaker 2: He goes, our politics, obviously, we don't agree politically, but
- 9:48Speaker 2: we don't talk about politics. And they get along very well.
- 9:53Speaker 2: That's why I keep telling you, don't talk about politics
- 9:56Speaker 2: with anybody ever. There's no reason to. Now, look at
- 10:02Speaker 2: this game last night. The Jets play in the Packers.
- 10:05Speaker 2: I really enjoy watching that. Do I have to discuss
- 10:08Speaker 2: it with anybody?
- 10:10Speaker 5: No.
- 10:10Speaker 2: You go into a bar, I think the Packers, I
- 10:13Speaker 2: think the Jets, well, I think the Packers. You don't
- 10:15Speaker 2: need to hear any of this. You don't need to
- 10:17Speaker 2: hear any of this. You want to hear about it?
- 10:19Speaker 2: Go get an expert. Go listen to that Mike Francesa
- 10:22Speaker 2: podcast or something. Whoever you trust is a great sports analyst.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Go listen to them. Read them. You don't need to
- 10:29Speaker 2: talk to some idiot in a bar. And it's the
- 10:31Speaker 2: same with politics. So Princess Di's brother, you know, he
- 10:37Speaker 2: wrote this book. Princess Diana's brother. What the hell is
- 10:42Speaker 2: his name? I can't remember his name. But he wrote...
- 10:47Speaker 2: This book, first he said that after the horrific car crash,
- 10:52Speaker 2: that Prince Charles was very cold about it. Very cold.
- 10:57Speaker 2: And he said about Diana, people will forget about her soon,
- 11:01Speaker 2: soon enough. Charles Spencer was his name. He wrote the book.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And that's where he said, Prince Charles actually said, people
- 11:09Speaker 2: will forget about Diana soon enough. It's a very classy
- 11:12Speaker 2: way to be really nasty. Yeah, they'll forget about that.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Blank and blank. Now, if you're a royal, you say
- 11:20Speaker 2: they'll forget about her soon enough. Well, he also in
- 11:24Speaker 2: the book now, he says that the problem with Prince
- 11:27Speaker 2: Harry is he was very, very young when Diana was killed.
- 11:32Speaker 2: William was already 15, but Harry was only 12. And
- 11:36Speaker 2: he said at the funeral, he looked at Harry and
- 11:37Speaker 2: could see he was spinning out of control. He was
- 11:40Speaker 2: too young, weak, too shaken up by this, too vulnerable.
- 11:46Speaker 2: And that Prince Charles, he's claiming Prince Charles did not
- 11:51Speaker 2: do enough to keep Harry grounded, to help Harry through it.
- 11:55Speaker 2: And that's where Harry went bad. He said, I could
- 11:59Speaker 2: not get over how tiny and slight and bereft Harry looked. See,
- 12:04Speaker 2: that's another thing if you're a royal, you talk like that.
- 12:06Speaker 2: You don't say, hey, you look like blank. You say,
- 12:09Speaker 2: he looks bereft. I don't know what bereft is, but
- 12:13Speaker 2: it doesn't sound good to me.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Bereft.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Try that with somebody. What the hell's wrong with you?
- 12:17Speaker 2: You're a mess. But walk up to them and say,
- 12:21Speaker 2: you look bereft. They're not going to get mad. I mean,
- 12:26Speaker 2: first they're going to have to run home and get
- 12:27Speaker 2: a dictionary to find out what the hell bereft is.
- 12:30Speaker 2: But I'm going to try that later today. You'll be
- 12:33Speaker 2: better soon enough. So bereft, and always use the phrase
- 12:37Speaker 2: soon enough. Hey, Trump announced the Greenland deal with Denmark.
- 12:45Speaker 2: giving us permanent security control over Denmark. This is a
- 12:48Speaker 2: big thing. This is everything we wanted. Now, the reason
- 12:51Speaker 2: we want Denmark, it's extremely crucial militarily for a base,
- 12:55Speaker 2: for all that. The fear is the Russians or the
- 12:58Speaker 2: Chinese can use it as a launching pad. It would
- 13:01Speaker 2: be the perfect place to attack the actual United States.
- 13:04Speaker 2: So we need to have control of it. Now, we
- 13:06Speaker 2: did have control of it. I guess the importance of
- 13:09Speaker 2: this deal is it'll make it permanent. Absolutely 100% locked
- 13:13Speaker 2: in permanent forever. So that means we really don't have
- 13:17Speaker 2: to worry too much. Now, the leaders of Denmark, Greenland,
- 13:22Speaker 2: and the United States are all in town this week
- 13:25Speaker 2: for the U.N. General Assembly. So they'll sign the agreement
- 13:29Speaker 2: this week here in New York. Hey, that Lindsey Clancy juror,
- 13:34Speaker 2: the holdout, he's been very careful not to go public,
- 13:38Speaker 2: the holdout juror. He speaks publicly through his lawyer, but
- 13:42Speaker 2: he's been careful not to do any interviews, not to
- 13:44Speaker 2: become too visible. His lawyer says he's getting death threats
- 13:49Speaker 2: from all over the place. So that's why he's staying underground.
- 13:54Speaker 2: If he speaks, it's through the attorney. They have a
- 13:58Speaker 2: GoFundMe because he's got expenses, security lawyers. The GoFundMe has
- 14:03Speaker 2: already raised $ 330, 000. $ 330, 000. But the Lindsay Clancy GoFundMe has
- 14:14Speaker 2: raised like millions. So one anonymous donor gave $ 10, 000 to this.
- 14:18Speaker 2: So if you want to donate to the loan juror,
- 14:21Speaker 2: I'm sure you can go online and find it somewhere.
- 14:24Speaker 2: New York is doing very well. Rentals are through the roof.
- 14:29Speaker 2: It's very tough to rent an apartment right now. They're
- 14:31Speaker 2: all being rented. Co-op sales are way up. Hotels are
- 14:36Speaker 2: being built.
- 14:37Speaker 6: Massive.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Skyscrapers, super tall, are being built all over Manhattan. And
- 14:43Speaker 2: in Brooklyn, there's an old hotel there, the old Hotel
- 14:47Speaker 2: Bossert in Brooklyn Heights. Ritz-Carlton just bought it. They're going
- 14:51Speaker 2: to build residences. This is a big thing for them now.
- 14:54Speaker 2: They do this in certain places. The Ritz-Carlton residences, they're
- 14:58Speaker 2: extremely expensive, very elegant, fancy condos. They got one in
- 15:02Speaker 2: Long Island. Where is that? North Hills? Somewhere like that?
- 15:08Speaker 2: Lake Success. It's right off the LIE. You drive by
- 15:10Speaker 2: it all the time. The Ritz-Carlton Residences. They started at
- 15:14Speaker 2: $ 2 or $ 3 million. Now they sell for $ 8 million,
- 15:16Speaker 2: $ 10 million. These are for condos. So they're building one
- 15:19Speaker 2: in Brooklyn Heights, 15 stories. It's going to take a
- 15:23Speaker 2: while to build this. So this is a Ritz-Carlton residence.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Very expensive condos going into Brooklyn. First floor will have
- 15:31Speaker 2: a Danny Meyer restaurant. That's pretty good. The real estate agent,
- 15:35Speaker 2: the team is being led by Ryan Serhant. who's now
- 15:39Speaker 2: the most annoying guy in the world. But he's handling
- 15:44Speaker 2: the sales. Hey, we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is
- 15:46Speaker 2: the number.
- 15:47Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
- 15:47Speaker 2: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
- 15:50Speaker 5: Three!
- 15:50Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
- 15:52Speaker 1: 710WOR.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Will in Charlotte,
- 16:10Speaker 2: North Carolina. Will, how you doing?
- 16:13Speaker 6: Hey, Mark. Love your show. Listen, I've got an answer
- 16:17Speaker 6: for where to put those data centers. Yeah. You're a
- 16:20Speaker 6: big Sopranos fan, right? Yeah. Yeah, so you remember the
- 16:24Speaker 6: opening of the Sopranos and Tony Soprano's driving down the
- 16:27Speaker 6: New Jersey Turnpike.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:29Speaker 6: And he's going past refineries and old chemical plants and
- 16:33Speaker 6: super fun sites everywhere. That's the perfect place to put
- 16:36Speaker 6: those data centers.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Well, but there's no room there. First of all, it's crowded.
- 16:40Speaker 2: There's a million things there.
- 16:42Speaker 3: No land.
- 16:43Speaker 2: And it costs a fortune for land there. You've got
- 16:46Speaker 2: to put them somewhere.
- 16:47Speaker 6: Knock a few buildings down. Those people are going to
- 16:49Speaker 6: afford it.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Hey, what about Charlotte, North Carolina, where you are? Let's
- 16:52Speaker 2: put it there. You don't need that Charlotte Speedway, do you?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Sure, why not?
- 16:56Speaker 6: Maybe I ought to lower my property taxes a little bit,
- 16:58Speaker 6: although they're a heck of a lot lower than they
- 16:59Speaker 6: used to be up in New Jersey.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Yeah. No, actually, it does. It will lower your taxes.
- 17:05Speaker 2: They figured out how to create their own water and
- 17:07Speaker 2: recycle it and use their own electricity. The problem is
- 17:10Speaker 2: it makes noise, a lot of noise from data centers.
- 17:12Speaker 2: So you've got to put them like half a mile
- 17:14Speaker 2: away from everybody. Let's go to Phil, Suffolk County. Phil,
- 17:19Speaker 2: how are you?
- 17:20Speaker 3: Yes.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Hello, Mark, and thank you for taking my call.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Where are you in Suffolk County?
- 17:26Speaker 5: North Port.
- 17:27Speaker 2: North Port. Is that Suffolk?
- 17:28Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it is.
- 17:29Speaker 2: North Port. You got that new restaurant right on the
- 17:31Speaker 2: water there, and you got the hotel there. It was
- 17:34Speaker 2: very nice.
- 17:35Speaker 5: We had this annual Cow Harbor Day where people run
- 17:38Speaker 5: around and shut down the streets.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:42Speaker 5: But anyway.
- 17:43Speaker 2: It's a wonderful event. Actually, it's an annoying event. Let's
- 17:46Speaker 2: just stay the hell away from North Port that day. Yeah, yeah,
- 17:48Speaker 2: it's a wonderful event, yeah.
- 17:50Speaker 6: Yes.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Mark, would you agree with me that the disturbing trend
- 17:54Speaker 5: about this Lindsay Clancy is the fact that there are
- 17:57Speaker 5: two other women that have come out and have used
- 18:01Speaker 5: her in context of them murdering their own children?
- 18:05Speaker 2: Yeah, very good point.
- 18:06Speaker 5: I feel that Lindsay should be held contemptible for that.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with that holdout. You're right. It's horrible. And
- 18:13Speaker 2: then the other trend is, what is it with these
- 18:15Speaker 2: left-wing kooks with the killers and the murderers? Luigi Mangione.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Lindsay Clancy, they have this whole new trend now of
- 18:24Speaker 2: there are justified murders. It wasn't their fault. It's got
- 18:29Speaker 2: to stop. That holdout, sure, that's a hero there. Let's
- 18:33Speaker 2: go to Bob in Short Hills. Bob, how are you doing?
- 18:37Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, how are you?
- 18:38Speaker 2: It's good.
- 18:38Speaker 5: I'm a caller. I've got two topics if you have time.
- 18:41Speaker 5: First one, about two months ago, you kind of poo-pooed
- 18:44Speaker 5: the induction of Chubby Checker into the Hall of Fame.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Yes.
- 18:49Speaker 5: I'm just wondering, can you think of anyone else in
- 18:51Speaker 5: the rock world that had such an influence on that music?
- 18:56Speaker 3: Yes.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Yes, of course. Easily. Easily. Easily. Easily. Like everybody else. Hey,
- 19:03Speaker 2: I love Chubby Checker. He's a very nice guy. And
- 19:06Speaker 2: he had the record called The Twist. It was a
- 19:08Speaker 2: big hit. But he was not a major influence.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Mark.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Stop saying my name over and over. It's annoying.
- 19:14Speaker 5: He had a worldwide man. He put people on a
- 19:16Speaker 5: dance floor who hated to get on the dance floor.
- 19:18Speaker 2: I hate to break it to you, but they were
- 19:20Speaker 2: dancing long before Chubby Checker. He's a great guy. It
- 19:23Speaker 2: was a great hit record, but it wasn't.
- 19:25Speaker 1: A major influence.
- 19:27Speaker 5: Joey D and the Starlighters, one of the biggest venues
- 19:29Speaker 5: in New York for a couple years.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Okay, but if you went to the Peppermint Lounge and
- 19:35Speaker 2: stayed there for five hours, you'd notice they played 6,000
- 19:37Speaker 2: other artists. It wasn't just Chubby Checker.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Yep.
- 19:40Speaker 5: He created that venue. It was, it was he who
- 19:43Speaker 5: did that.
- 19:43Speaker 2: You got it.
- 19:44Speaker 1: You got it.
- 19:44Speaker 2: First of all, let's go to Chuck Berry. Now here's
- 19:46Speaker 2: a guy who was one of the most influential guys
- 19:48Speaker 2: to me who really pioneered the modern-day rock and roll.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Even the Beatles will tell you they were copying Chuck Berry.
- 19:54Speaker 2: There's nobody telling you they're copying Chubby Checker.
- 19:59Speaker 5: Well, you know, there are a lot of people that
- 20:01Speaker 5: copy Chubby Checker who had offshoots of his song, The Twist,
- 20:04Speaker 5: Slow Twistin'. Yeah, there was a.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Big fad for two years with The Twist. Now, okay,
- 20:10Speaker 2: now wait, forget it. Stop for a second. Stop. Now
- 20:12Speaker 2: lie down on the couch. Lie down. We're going to
- 20:14Speaker 2: have to psychoanalyze you. What is this obsession with Chubby
- 20:18Speaker 2: Checker all about? Where did this come from?
- 20:20Speaker 5: I believe he should be in the Hall of Fame.
- 20:22Speaker 5: He had 10 different dance songs, the Limbo, the Huckled Bar.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Okay, these were all cheap fads. I mean, they were
- 20:28Speaker 2: very good. The Limbo was a big fad for a year.
- 20:31Speaker 2: These were fad records, novelty records.
- 20:34Speaker 5: Okay, I got another question for you.
- 20:36Speaker 2: No, seriously, what is this Chubby Checker obsession?
- 20:39Speaker 5: No, I just think he's worthy of going into the
- 20:41Speaker 5: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- 20:41Speaker 2: He's worthy because there's nobody left. All the greats went
- 20:43Speaker 2: in first. You know, I love that Gilbert O'Sullivan with
- 20:46Speaker 2: Remember Alone Again Naturally. I love those records. He had
- 20:50Speaker 2: three or four greats. But he's not a Rock and
- 20:52Speaker 2: Roll Hall of Fame guy. He was not a big influence.
- 20:54Speaker 2: He was a silly little guy with a couple of
- 20:55Speaker 2: nice hits.
- 20:56Speaker 5: 40 chart songs. That's pretty good.
- 21:00Speaker 2: One other thing.
- 21:00Speaker 5: I'll give you another one. Anecdotally, I wonder if you
- 21:03Speaker 5: could talk about a restaurant you probably knew closed down
- 21:06Speaker 5: about 10 years ago in the meatpacking district, Italian restaurant, famous,
- 21:11Speaker 5: maybe you can call it infamous, probably frequented by Vincent. Uh,
- 21:15Speaker 5: do you know the name of it? And what it closed?
- 21:17Speaker 5: And I wonder if you had an anecdote.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Um, I'm blanking out. Was it old post or something?
- 21:22Speaker 5: Um, on the brogy street.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Ponties.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Oh, parties. Oh, I thought that's, is that, is that,
- 21:30Speaker 2: that's not really the meatpacking district. That's like on the water.
- 21:33Speaker 5: It was, it's not, well, they say it's meatpacking or, uh,
- 21:37Speaker 5: on the West Side Highway.
- 21:38Speaker 2: No, there was a great Italian restaurant in the Meatpacking
- 21:39Speaker 2: Institute that's closed because Google bought the whole building. It's
- 21:43Speaker 2: actually where the Crane Club is now in that building. But,
- 21:46Speaker 2: you know, Patti's was an old landmark, but didn't somebody
- 21:50Speaker 2: in that whole deal, somebody involved in the restaurant get indicted?
- 21:54Speaker 5: Well, it was a big family feud over the proceeds
- 21:57Speaker 5: of his He had about 30 real estate agents.
- 21:59Speaker 2: No, but I don't know who. Somebody involved in that
- 22:01Speaker 2: whole restaurant got indicted or went to jail, something like that, right?
- 22:04Speaker 5: I didn't know that. But, you know, he sold that
- 22:06Speaker 5: property for $ 115 million in 19—I'm sorry, 2015.
- 22:11Speaker 2: No, I was actually there a couple of times. Ponty
- 22:15Speaker 2: was a landmark over there. Let's go to the expert.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Vincent and Brooklyn, we only got about 30 seconds. Do
- 22:20Speaker 2: you remember Ponty's?
- 22:22Speaker 3: No, I don't, Mark. But speaking about a place you
- 22:24Speaker 3: just mentioned, I used to hang out there a lot
- 22:27Speaker 3: at the Bossett Hotel, a beautiful hotel. In fact, somebody,
- 22:32Speaker 3: an acquaintance of mine, one night went up in there,
- 22:37Speaker 3: took a half a bottle of sleeping pills and drank
- 22:39Speaker 3: a half a bottle of scotch and took his own life.
- 22:42Speaker 3: But me and my friends used to hang out there.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Sounds like a wonderful hotel. Now, what did you and
- 22:46Speaker 2: your friends do there, or shouldn't we ask?
- 22:48Speaker 1: Oh, well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 22:50Speaker 2: We got it.
- 22:50Speaker 5: Well, anyway.
- 22:52Speaker 3: They had a great lounge. The lobby of the hotel
- 22:56Speaker 3: is absolutely gorgeous. I hope they don't destroy it. It's
- 22:59Speaker 3: on Montague Street and Hick Street. And we used to
- 23:03Speaker 3: go there, especially the lounge was open until 3 at night.
- 23:10Speaker 3: And I used to live in Brooklyn Heights at the time.
- 23:13Speaker 3: And it was a great place to hang out.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Like the Roberts Lodge in Goodfellas, that kind of place?
- 23:20Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, actually.
- 23:22Speaker 3: But Eva Mara probably knows it. It's on the corner
- 23:26Speaker 3: of Vincent.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Well, Vincent, we've got to go because we've got to
- 23:28Speaker 2: do the news. But call tomorrow. We've got more time tomorrow.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. When we come back, the greatest pollster
- 23:33Speaker 2: in the world, the real polls, not the fake polls
- 23:36Speaker 2: you see in public. We'll get to the real polls
- 23:38Speaker 2: coming up next. John McLaughlin will be with us on 710WOR.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Well, all these public polls, you see, they're just terrible.
- 23:51Speaker 2: They're just rigged, rotten. Forget all these public polls. Now,
- 23:55Speaker 2: the real polls, that's what the candidates actually use. The
- 23:57Speaker 2: real polls, far more expensive, much more scientific behind the scenes.
- 24:02Speaker 2: The best pollster in the world is John McLaughlin. He's
- 24:06Speaker 2: got a website, McLaughlinOnline.com. McLaughlinOnline.com. But he's with us now.
- 24:12Speaker 2: John McLaughlin, how are you doing?
- 24:14Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I'm... Busy times, 43 days till election day.
- 24:19Speaker 4: Wow.
- 24:21Speaker 2: So, hey, these public polls, these media polls, these college polls,
- 24:24Speaker 2: they use the wrong everything, the wrong list. They use
- 24:27Speaker 2: the wrong demographics, the wrong age group. They undersample Republicans.
- 24:31Speaker 2: They do this all the time. It's fascinating. You could
- 24:33Speaker 2: tell people this, show them the fake metrics, and they
- 24:36Speaker 2: still keep reading them every day and talking about them.
- 24:39Speaker 2: How do they get away with this all these years?
- 24:42Speaker 1: Uh, they own the media. I mean, you know, you,
- 24:48Speaker 1: we've been friends for years and I've talked about this 2016.
- 24:51Speaker 1: You had a Hillary lock. Remember it was a lock
- 24:53Speaker 1: on election day. She was going to win. We, Trump
- 24:56Speaker 1: had no chance. And 2024 was going to be a
- 24:58Speaker 1: Biden blue wave and ends up being 44,000 votes in
- 24:59Speaker 1: three States, 11,000 in Georgia, Arizona, and 20,000 in, uh,
- 25:09Speaker 1: in Wisconsin that decided the race out of, you know,
- 25:12Speaker 1: 160 million votes. And in 2024, they, you know, President
- 25:19Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, she was going to win. And Trump, not
- 25:23Speaker 1: only did we win, but he, you know, he won
- 25:26Speaker 1: the popular vote and he swept the seven battleground states
- 25:29Speaker 1: and it was a decisive electoral victory. But he won
- 25:32Speaker 1: all the metrics. And, you know, it was a big win,
- 25:36Speaker 1: not close. And now, you know, you have the same
- 25:39Speaker 1: thing where you're saying a lot of these Senate races,
- 25:41Speaker 1: like in Texas, Univision comes out with a survey. They
- 25:44Speaker 1: use YouGov. They got, you know, they're under-polling Trump voters.
- 25:47Speaker 1: They're under-polling Republicans. But they do it on purpose in
- 25:50Speaker 1: these different media outlets because it helps the Democrats fundraise.
- 25:56Speaker 1: It tries to suppress Republican fundraising. And the worst is
- 26:00Speaker 1: turnout because in the midterm, it's a lower turnout than
- 26:04Speaker 1: a presidential election. So in 2024, we had 155 million
- 26:09Speaker 1: people come out and Trump got 50%. He got 77
- 26:12Speaker 1: million votes. So the Democrats and the liberal media know
- 26:16Speaker 1: that that 77 million that voted for Trump will decide
- 26:20Speaker 1: this election. So they're doing everything they can to suppress
- 26:24Speaker 1: the Trump vote. So, oh, it's, you know, this one
- 26:26Speaker 1: can't win that, you know, Tallarico is going to win
- 26:28Speaker 1: in Texas. And they got two Dan Sullivans in Alaska.
- 26:32Speaker 1: You like that in Alaska? The Democrats, the incumbent Republican
- 26:36Speaker 1: who's popular is named Dan Sullivan. So what do they do?
- 26:38Speaker 1: They find some other guy on the voter rolls named
- 26:40Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan, and they qualify him for the ballot because
- 26:45Speaker 1: in Alaska, they changed the election law so that the
- 26:49Speaker 1: top four are on the ballot from the primaries. It's
- 26:52Speaker 1: an open primary. So the top four, so you have
- 26:54Speaker 1: two Dan Sullivans to try to confuse the voters. But
- 26:57Speaker 1: it's that kind of stuff that's going on.
- 26:58Speaker 2: You can't do that in Michigan. Michigan, where are you
- 27:00Speaker 2: going to find another guy named Mohammed Abdul El-Sayan Hassan, whatever?
- 27:04Speaker 2: You can't find him in Deerbourne.
- 27:06Speaker 1: You'd find him in Deerbourne. It's like there's probably– no,
- 27:11Speaker 1: there's a significant Arab population in the state. So it's like–
- 27:15Speaker 1: but they can't do that. But it's a dead-even race
- 27:19Speaker 1: in a lot of these polls between Mike Rogers in
- 27:22Speaker 1: Michigan and El Sayed. And El Sayed is trying to
- 27:26Speaker 1: disavow this guy he campaigned with in the primary, Hassan Piker,
- 27:30Speaker 1: who was saying– you know, we brought nine 11 on ourselves.
- 27:34Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, so, so you, you've got the,
- 27:38Speaker 1: the Democrat socialists, the socialists inside the Democrat party have
- 27:41Speaker 1: taken over their nomination. A lot of places like in Maine, uh,
- 27:45Speaker 1: Troy Jackson came in for platinum after he fell out.
- 27:48Speaker 1: And then, and then you got El Sayed and they
- 27:50Speaker 1: got Tallarico in Texas. You've got real socialists who really,
- 27:55Speaker 1: you know, do believe the United States, uh, is at
- 27:58Speaker 1: fault for a lot of things. And, They would raise
- 28:01Speaker 1: your taxes not by little but by trillions, probably about.
- 28:04Speaker 2: $ 2, 000 to $ 3, 000. But in the real polls, what do
- 28:07Speaker 2: Americans think of this socialism in the real polls?
- 28:10Speaker 1: Oh, they're really unpopular. I mean it's one of those
- 28:15Speaker 1: things where the Democrats within their party, the moderate Democrats
- 28:20Speaker 1: reject it and they're having a kind of civil war.
- 28:22Speaker 1: But then the leaders like Schumer and– you know, Hakeem Jeffries,
- 28:28Speaker 1: the leader of the Democrats in the House, they're saying
- 28:31Speaker 1: they should have a big tent. So they're letting them in.
- 28:33Speaker 1: In the meantime, you know, we're running campaigns for, like,
- 28:37Speaker 1: Janine Driscoll, who's running against Laura Gillen, and Tom Suozzi's
- 28:40Speaker 1: running against Michael Petri on Long Island. And those Republicans
- 28:44Speaker 1: are running against the Mondami-Hockel socialists. And even in New York, like,
- 28:49Speaker 1: New York's a two-to-one Democrat state, but Bruce Blakeman's within
- 28:53Speaker 1: a handful of points of Kathy Hockel mainly because they
- 28:57Speaker 1: know she's going to give in to Mondami after Election Day.
- 29:01Speaker 1: It's a very poorly kept secret. The Democrat socialists have
- 29:04Speaker 1: asked for it, Mondami's asked for it. Huge tax hikes.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Mondami wants a 9.5% property tax hike on all the
- 29:11Speaker 1: homeowners in New York City and all the real estate
- 29:14Speaker 1: in New York City, including everything that's owned by Donald
- 29:16Speaker 1: Trump and other people, all this real estate. But they
- 29:21Speaker 1: also want a 2% corporate surcharge. They want surcharges on income,
- 29:25Speaker 1: they want to lower the threshold of the estate tax,
- 29:28Speaker 1: the debt tax, down to $ 750, 000. So if you own
- 29:31Speaker 1: a home for $ 750, 000, you die, your kids will have
- 29:34Speaker 1: to give it to the government.
- 29:35Speaker 2: So the polls, the seven or eight Senate races that
- 29:40Speaker 2: are crucial, how are we going to do in them?
- 29:43Speaker 1: Well, there's actually nine that's rated as a toss-up right
- 29:48Speaker 1: now when you look at them. I think there's potential surprises.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Michelle Tafoya in Minnesota is running against one of these socialists,
- 29:54Speaker 1: Tim Walz's lieutenant governor, this woman named Ferguson. She's bizarre.
- 29:58Speaker 1: And that race is tied in Minnesota. And in New Hampshire,
- 30:02Speaker 1: there's been some polls that have John Sununu ahead of
- 30:05Speaker 1: Pappas in New Hampshire, so we could pick up that.
- 30:10Speaker 1: But then also some of these toss-ups like Ohio and Iowa,
- 30:13Speaker 1: we should not be tied in Ohio and Iowa with
- 30:16Speaker 1: the Democrats. And in Texas, there's polls out that have
- 30:20Speaker 1: Tallarico ahead. I just don't believe I polled for Trump.
- 30:23Speaker 1: you know, in every election in Texas, and we won decisively,
- 30:27Speaker 1: the last one by 14 points. And I'm looking at
- 30:30Speaker 1: the details of these polls, and I'm like, you know,
- 30:32Speaker 1: Paxton's going to win in Texas. And Abbott should win decisively.
- 30:35Speaker 1: These polls that have the governor losing and Paxton losing
- 30:39Speaker 1: look like their demographics are definitely skewed left. So that's
- 30:43Speaker 1: going well. And, you know, in Maine, the polls are close.
- 30:47Speaker 1: And Susan Collins, you know, she voted against She voted
- 30:51Speaker 1: to impeach Trump at one point, but he endorsed her.
- 30:54Speaker 1: So she was like seven points ahead of Trump the.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Last time she ran. But these races like Maine, Michigan,
- 30:59Speaker 2: where it's close, how will it break? Will it break
- 31:01Speaker 2: for the Republicans, do you think?
- 31:04Speaker 1: It's a toss-up. Michigan's a toss-up, and there's plenty of
- 31:09Speaker 1: races that are toss-ups that the next 43 days are critical.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of those things where we really
- 31:16Speaker 1: do have to get our vote out. We really have
- 31:19Speaker 1: to let them win. We have to play offense against
- 31:21Speaker 1: these Democrats.
- 31:21Speaker 2: But that requires messaging. What is the Republican message? I
- 31:25Speaker 2: don't hear it.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Well, it's a problem because when the president wanted to
- 31:31Speaker 1: have voter ID and improve for citizenship in the Save
- 31:34Speaker 1: America Act, the Republican Senate couldn't pass it. That's why
- 31:37Speaker 1: Cornyn lost his primary to Paxton. So individual Republican candidates
- 31:42Speaker 1: are going to have to go after their Democratic opponents.
- 31:45Speaker 1: and basically say when he talks about Medicare for All,
- 31:48Speaker 1: he means eliminating any private health insurance you have. It'll
- 31:51Speaker 1: be all government-run. It'll be paid for by massive increases
- 31:54Speaker 1: in taxes. And they're going to have to, 43 days,
- 31:57Speaker 1: they have to bring the interest to the Democrats. Open borders,
- 32:01Speaker 1: et cetera. They've got to run.
- 32:03Speaker 2: How do they message that?
- 32:05Speaker 1: Well, the gas prices are tough because Iran, they know
- 32:08Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing. They know we're in a midterm election.
- 32:12Speaker 1: They know that Donald Trump has them on the ropes.
- 32:16Speaker 1: And they're doing everything they can with their terrorist allies,
- 32:19Speaker 1: whether it's the Houthis or whatever, to shut down the
- 32:22Speaker 1: world's oil supply. So, you know, Besson has these economic
- 32:28Speaker 1: sanctions against them. And I think the Republicans have to say, look,
- 32:32Speaker 1: we've got a choice. We've got, you know, either Iran
- 32:36Speaker 1: gets the nuclear weapon or we stop them right now.
- 32:38Speaker 1: We ought to. do everything we can to finish the job,
- 32:41Speaker 1: and the prices of gas will come down. So, you know,
- 32:45Speaker 1: I think President Trump's been more than patient with the Iranians. And,
- 32:49Speaker 1: you know, those economic sanctions are going to take a
- 32:51Speaker 1: little time to work, but that's better than a lot
- 32:54Speaker 1: of other options. But right now, Iran, you know, they
- 32:57Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They are basically doing it to
- 33:00Speaker 1: raise the price of gas to affect the American midterm elections.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Hey, we only got a minute left. Bruce Blakeman. Good
- 33:09Speaker 2: shot at winning New York.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I hope.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Yes.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Very good shot at winning New York, precisely because, I mean,
- 33:15Speaker 1: when you talk about affordability, Kathy Hochul, she's allowed 48
- 33:20Speaker 1: utility rate hikes. We pay enormous utility bills, and she
- 33:24Speaker 1: has the nerve to say she's going to give back
- 33:25Speaker 1: $ 100 or $ 200 to raise them by thousands. And then
- 33:29Speaker 1: she has, you know, she's raised taxes $ 8 billion on
- 33:32Speaker 1: New Yorkers, and you now have her and Mondami are
- 33:35Speaker 1: thinking of ways to... after Election Day to raise taxes
- 33:38Speaker 1: by billions more. Plus, Mondami wants to close Rikers Island.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Both Hochul and Mondami support cashless bail and letting criminals
- 33:48Speaker 1: loose and open borders. So Bruce has a really good
- 33:53Speaker 1: shot because the reality of their daily lives says things
- 33:58Speaker 1: could get better because Hochul I mean, four years ago
- 34:03Speaker 1: against Lee Zeldin, they weren't sure they liked her. Now
- 34:05Speaker 1: they know they don't like her. So most New Yorkers
- 34:07Speaker 1: won't change. And Bruce is doing an excellent job working
- 34:10Speaker 1: really hard, really.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing well.
- 34:12Speaker 1: We've got 43 days to turn that around. It's really
- 34:15Speaker 1: important for New York.
- 34:16Speaker 3: All right.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Well, John McLaughlin, keep up the good work. You can
- 34:19Speaker 2: check out his website. It's McLaughlinOnline.com. McLaughlinOnline.com. John McLaughlin, the
- 34:26Speaker 2: world's greatest pollster. The real pollster, not those fake public polls.
