  Speaker 1: And why am I hearing about football in the news.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It's really a sign that summer is over. Training camp jets,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: training camp giants, trains. I hate to say it, it's
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: almost August, summer just about No. Normally you can't believe
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the summer is over. But this was not the most
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: enjoyable summer. You had two vicious heat waves, you had
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: smog and whatever the hell that was from Canada all
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: over the place for about five days. But perfect weekend. Hey,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the White House Correspondents dinner. Well, now, the President is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the most experienced comedian and roaster of anybody that's ever
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: been in the White House. You have presidents with a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: good sense of humor. Reagan had a good sense of humor.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: George W. Bush did, Bill Clinton a little bit of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a sense of humor, a good sense of humor, but
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: he wasn't a great joke teller. George W.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Was.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Reagan obviously was a professional. But Trump is the only
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: one that comes to the White House with tremendous experience
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: doing roasts through the years. He probably did twenty five
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: or thirty Friars Club roast. Those were That's like the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: major leagues of roasting. I don't mean the ones you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: see on TV. I mean the ones in private in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the ballroom. Those are the top roasts of the world.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He literally twenty five or thirty of them, and that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is like the all star game of comedians and roasters.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And he's he held his own there. And then of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: course there were the TV roasts. He did a bunch
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of those Comedy Central, and there were a million private
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: roasts that were done. People throw a roaster. I am
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of them through the years in the nineties,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of Donald Trump roasts and he'd get roasted,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but then he'd have to get up and do a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: big ten minute roasting response. So he's the most experienced
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: roaster ever as president. But somehow he wasn't great Saturday Night. Now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: From what I hear in the original White House Correspondence
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: diner a couple of months ago, he had put together
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the greatest roast ever of all the correspondents and all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this stuff. It was unbelievable. It was rough and tough,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but unbelievad Well, that speech got thrown outparently, they decided
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be appropriate to do it now after the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: violence that took place at the first White House correspondence
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to it, so they got a new one. Now, this
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: one wasn't very well written. I have a feeling it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was like Steven Miller and a couple others because many
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of those jokes are from old nineteen sixties joke books.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't a great roast. But I mean, it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was okay, It was okay, It wasn't bad. He made
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: fun of a lot of things.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But just like my presidency, the second time is always better.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: It's always better and the third time will be better.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yet I'm not.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I'm only kiddy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. It was just mild, it wasn't it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And of course he made fun of is this some more?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Everyone's looking really good tonight? And I know it was
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: not easy finding shoes to go along with your bulletproof vests,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: which many people didn't want to wear because they'd rather die.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: They'd look twenty pounds heavier.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Do you know that?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, it was okay, but it wasn't great. It wasn't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: up to his usual skills. And he did make fun
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of Caitlyn Collins, that CNN woman who always never smiles,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: looks miserable, and he made fun of I'm trying to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: remember who else, a bunch of press people made fun
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of the journalists. Now that's normal, every president does that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But this is Trump. So look at the response. Every
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: president has done this. In fact, what Trump did was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: so mild compared to what other presidents have done. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Daily Beast Trump savaged people. In fact, there was so bad.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: People are calling for this to never happen again. They
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they're actually talking about this. Major major New York Times
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: writer now saying calling on journalists to rethink this annual
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: White House Correspondent's dinner. Trump went off on he made
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: fun of a baker, the White House Times Correspondent and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Maggie Haberman. They call it sick and deranged. They are
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: now calling on the press to not do these dinners anymore. Now,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the old ones, they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: were vicious, vicious. This one what I think it was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Wanda Sykes. She's making fun of rush Limba and she said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I hope your kidneys fail. And you see Obama sitting
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: next to her on the day is laughing. I mean,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this is kind of stuff they did back then that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was perfectly fine. But as soon as Trump makes jokes
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about them, they're now calling for the whole dinner to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: be canceled and never happen again. But the Daily Beast
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is a very left wing publication, he said. Trump struggled
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to keep his eyes open at the White House dinner.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Sleepy Trump couldn't stay awake. None of this is to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Sometimes he did close his eyes, but he always does that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He's been doing that for forty years. Why didn't Melanias
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: reousily skipped the White House Correspondence dinner? Word is she
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: knows she's a liability. How is she a liability? The
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: most beautiful first lady ever? She skips it because she
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: has no interest in this crap, and she has no
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: interest in trying to be nice to these reporters. Part
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of the deal is when you go there, you gotta
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: get there, and there's a big thing backstage where the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: deis meets, and you gotta shake hands with everybody and smile.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: These are people that want to kill you, that hate you,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and you got to be nice to them. She has
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: no use for that. She's not a professional politician. They
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: do the same thing at mar Alago. Why isn't she
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: at dinner with him? She can't stand the crowd there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You know that whole you go to mar A Lago.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: To get to his table, he's got to walk through
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: four hundred of those women. How are you? You're just
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: driving crazy. She has no interest in that. They're given
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: out awards. One of the reasons he Heo has had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: his eyes closed. They have such egos, these uh press people,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So for like three four hours, they give awards to themselves.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It's an award for this, an award for that, another
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: award of this, award of that, award. It just keep
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: giving awards. One of them was to this New York
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Times group No excuse me, the Wall Street Journal group
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that did that Epstein story that turned out they have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of fake stuff in it. They had a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: fake letter from Trump with a fake drawing, and if
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: remember all that stupid to give an award to that,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So he had to sit through all of that. They
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: just packed themselves on the back for a couple of hours.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So it's and also it was a scaled down dinner.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It was much smaller than the original and all the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: previous White House Correspondent dinners held at the Hilton because
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that has the biggest ballroom you can put twenty five
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: hundred people in there. And they moved it for security
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: reasons after that shooting there. It's pretty clear security problems
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at that Hilton. So they moved it to what's called
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the Waldorf Astoria in Washington. It's actually the Trump Hotel,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: ut of a magnificent hotel Trump built before it. Becoming president.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He realized Washington, d C. Did not have one great hotel.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: They have some stately old hotels like the Willard and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know a couple of those, but they're old they're
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: cute to stay in, but they don't have big ballrooms.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And the Hilton has a big ballroom, but it's not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the classiest place. So he decided to build an absolute
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: five star, magnificent hotel, and he did the Trump Hotel.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And you remember, in his first term, it was like
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the meeting place. Besides the massive ballroom, there was a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: huge lobby with a restaurant, and that's where everybody would
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: hang out looking to meet everybody. So he built it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: It was incredible. After the first term, he sold it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Waldorf bought it for a fortune. Trump made a lot
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of money on that and it's now called the Waldorf Astoria.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So he loved the hotel. He talked about He talked
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about what a great hotel it was.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Let me say, but it's great to be back at
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: a place that I know very well because I built it,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: and I'm very proud of it because I built it
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: for two point nine billion dollars less than the Federal
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Reserve Building, which.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Is a lot smaller by the way.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, figure that one out.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: This tiny, crappy fed building. Three billion. He built the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: most magnificent hotel ever in Washington, massive hotel, eight hundred million.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: What a difference. So let's see, here's media. There's another
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: real left wing and I'm going after him going crazy. Hey,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: yesterday on truth Social he put up a very funny
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: picture of the US Canada border with a wall. But
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it's not really a wall. If you look, it's one
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: big long air conditioning filter. Now that's pretty cute. That's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: pretty funny. After that filthy air came here, here's the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: here's the here's the fake news. Trump posts bonkers AI
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: image of Canada bonkers. It was actually pretty cute and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: pretty funny. I don't know who could think that was bonkers. Hey, Iran,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: we're in a pause right now. If you're a Democrat,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you might want to turn off the radio for a second.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: If you're a Democrat, we have bad news. Let me
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just check. Let me get an update here. Price of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: oil is dropping, really dropping. Price of oil way down
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. It's down another six dollars right now.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Price of oil dropping. Now, remember if we go back
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to war. When we did the second time recently, oil
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: did not spike up as much as the first time,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: so it'll spike up even less the third time. So
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: price of oil doing very well. Hey, crazy, Mom, Donnie, this,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's clearly anti Semitic. He's clearly it's not
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: just anti Semitic, he's clearly obsessed with it, and he
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: can't stop talking about it. Now anti Semitic, well, let's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they'll say, well, I'm rather than just anti Israel, I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: anti Well that's the anti Semitic. It's just a it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a code way of saying anti Semitic. Mam Donnie trying
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to talk his way out of that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: I want to make very clear that my criticisms of
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: prime Minist Revengement net Now are of specifically prime Minist
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Revengement Now, and any criticisms of any foreign state should
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: never be confused for criticisms of a people or of
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: a faith. And my responsibility as the mayor of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: city is to every New Yorker, no matter their faith,
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: their background, or frankly their politics.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's why you say the anti semis and Mamdani,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, all these people, they kind of they're really
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: white supremacists because if you study white supremacists, one of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: their core core core components is anti Semitism. So he
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: really isn't the white supremacist the category here because anti
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Semitism big part of white supremacy. So they'll say, well,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just anti Israel. Nobody's buying it for a second.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: There's no tolerance for anti Semitism in this city. We
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: have to root out anti semitism from across the five boroughs,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: and that's because this is a city that is one
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: that has no room for hate or bigotry of any kind.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: And when we make criticisms of a nation state or policies,
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: we have to remember that those are criticisms of exactly that,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: never of a people, never of a faith.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Now you're saying that sounds pretty good. What's wrong with that? Well,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with that is after his arrest Net and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Yahoo crap, we had a horrible, horrible anti Semitic attack
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: on the Upper West Side with a guy stabbing somebody
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: with a yamaka and he's just horrible hate crime. So
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he got a lot of flack over the weekend. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that's why he said what you just heard. That's after
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: two days of three days of real flack. He's trying
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to fight back on that, but he's got a real problem.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And this arrest Net and Yahoo thing, which was just preposterous.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Net Yiaho's been speaking out about it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: I speak to Jewish Americans in New York and they're
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: afraid right now. And I don't against occidental that after
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: he made this hate speech against Israel and against me,
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: the next day a Jewish stabbed coming out of a synagogue,
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: I think, and with a cry of allah's akaba, allah akaba,
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: And you know what that means.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So that's why mom, Donnie's suddenly pretending he's against anti Semitism,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: which he's not real clearly. Uh you know who described
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: him in the Socialists, These Democratic Socialists units have really
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: smart guy Scott Besant, brilliant guy. But listen him explain it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: In New York, the current mayor rose to power by
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: repackaging failed ideals of the past as a moral cause
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: of the future. But in Georgia, you know, the beneath
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: that youthful veneer was the oldest impulse in politics, which
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: is to concentrate power and then call it compassion.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think now that's what it's really about. Concentrate power.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: That's why government supermarkets, that's why government to housing, that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: why government welfare, that's why it's a way of getting
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you totally dependent on them dramatically increasing their power over
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: your life. That's what it really is, concentrating power and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: getting more control. Hey, big announcement. Now listen to this
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: big announcement. Starting next week, this show. No, it's not
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: been canceled. This show will expand we're going to add
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: an hour. Instead of ten to noon, it will be
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: nine to noon every day, we'll start at nine o'clock.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Now you're saying, wow, that's great, what a reward. No,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: this means I got to get up an hour earlier.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Believe me, it wasn't my idea. But nine to noon.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Starting Monday, a week from today, the show will be
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: nine to noon. You'll get an extra hour, so remember
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to tune in nine. Again, it wasn't my idea. There's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: been a push for this for years, which I've been resisting,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: but everybody persuaded me it's the right thing to do.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: For one reason is, as you know, we got a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: lot of commercials. In fact, sometimes you notice those commercial
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: breaks get a little too long. They get to be five, six,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: seven minutes that we have to go down and yell
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: at the sales department, no long break, keep it short.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But there's lots and lots and lots of advertisers. See
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: advertisers do very well on this show, so we got
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: plenty that we can't even get on. They're like waiting
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to get on. So that's why we want to add
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: an hour. That's one big reason. That way we can
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: get the rest of those advertisers in an hour, gives
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: us more time for all that. Also, listeners have wanted
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: We've been hearing that a lot. Also, every other show
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in the station is three hours, so this makes it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a little more uniform. Anyway, the demand was overwhelming and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: so we're going to do it starting a week from today.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Starting next Monday, the show will be nine to noon
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: every day. If you're a podcast listener, you'll get an
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: extra hour of podcast to listen to every day. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. Let me know what you think.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one

  Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy to do it. But everybody keeps saying congratulations.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: This means getting up an hour earlier.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: I know, I know that award you got the several
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: weeks back. We're proud of you for that too. I
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: think it's fabulous and it's a gift to all of
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: us to have you on. Meanwhile, you know this, uh,
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: the nine to eleven twenty fifth anniversary. I think it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: a very important thing. The grieving families from nine to
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: eleven started a petition to get Modamie not to be
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: down there. I think it's very important that we back
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: up that petition.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously we know we do, but he has said
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: he will be there.
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: He absolutely Well, there's got to be a way to
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: prevent it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Because well, maybe have yeah who come, Maybe have net
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: yeah who come, arrest them or something like that. Anyway,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah, nobody wants them there, and it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: going to be interesting. I think he'd better rethink this.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He absolutely says he will be there and he will
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: stand with the nine to eleven families. Now they're going
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to do one of those turn their back on him.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: They'll turn their back on him and it's not going
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to be good for him. Remember Deblasio tried that with
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the police and they all turn their back and it
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: was damaging the Deblasio. So the mayor should rethink this.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 17:59
  Speaker 11: Yes, this this extra hour constitutes a major change in
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: my life. I'm not sure if it's for the good,
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: but it's great.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Well, but I see I have to get up an
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: hour earlier. You live in Florida where you'll get up
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: at five am.
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: That's true, and it also points out how pathetical my
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: life is.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's not just you, but everybody in Florida. You're all
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: over book or it's on any place. They're up at five.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: They're waiting, like for the Starbucks to open at six
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: they're standing outside it, right.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: And happy hour they have to get to the free
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: samples at Sam's Club into happy hour so they can
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: leave promptly at six pm when happy hours over.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hilarious, it's cheaper. But you know, I don't understand
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: why Starbucks doesn't see this phenomenon and just have all
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: their Florida locations open at four am.
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: It's beyond me because and the funny thing is they
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: could close at ten because everybody's back inside by ten
• 18:55
  Speaker 11: when you know, when it gets too awkard for them
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: to do anything. All right, Well, but you know, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: was gonna mention that the press and these liberal politicians
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: all have glass jaws. You know, none of them could
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: take a punch. They can audish it out, but none
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: of them can take, you know, take it when it's
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: you know, giving back to them like, which is why
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: they hate Trump so much.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Well, but it's Trump arrangements because Bush would make fun
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of the press, Reagan would make fun of the press.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: They just hate Trump so much that if he does
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: anything normal that any president does, it's suddenly the worst crisis.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: In the world.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Mike, thanks for I know you're on your way to lunch.
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: It's ten thirty pleas free samples.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Thanks for Colin. Let's go to Alex in Levittown. Alex,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: Hi?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: How are you there?
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: Mark?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: And thanks to the extra I we love listening to you.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Thanks just gonna make me un known about the mayor
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: because he appointed I've written the paper. He appointed eighteen
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: members to the advisory committee under judiciary and doesn't seem
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: to be one Jewish person on that Listen, they'd decide
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: about judge ships and other appointments.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: You're talking about the mayor.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: One Jewish person on that committee?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: About the mayor, Yes, Donny, Yeah, you were looking. You
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: were looking for the Mom Donnie to put Jewish people
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: on the committee.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Committee. There's so many Jewish judges, not one. I understand committee.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Because Mom Donnie is the biggest anti semi we've ever
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: had it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, so I know. I don't know
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: what's what's gonna happen to us in the next three
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: and a half years.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Well, we survived a lot of things. We'll survive this guy.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: But thanks for calling. You know who loves Mom Donnie.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: The Blasio and Adams. You know why, because suddenly nobody
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: can call them bad mayors anymore. They were LaGuardia compared
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to this guy. It's like when Joe Biden came along,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter was so happy because he was always referred
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to as the worst president ever. Once Biden showed up,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Carter never had to worry again. Take one more call
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Neil in Brooklyn. What do you want to say, Neil,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 20:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah, as someone who always enjoyed the the corresponds then,
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: no matter who the president was. When they had the
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: violence at their last one and they all went to
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: the press room later, I think that Trump thought there
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: was a tent between him and the press, and that's
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: why he happily went and rearranged to have this new one.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I know you're right.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: He Trump, and he talks to the press. If Maggie
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Harman calls, he takes the call. He always gets on
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the phone with them. Jonathan Carl He always thinks he's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: going to win them over at some point. You know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: he's the greatest salesman. He thinks at some point he's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: going to win them over. You know. Seems a little silly,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: but that kind of optimism, I guess if you need
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to be a great entrepreneur. Hey, when we come back,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the greatest poster in the world, not these fake public poles.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: These are the real, deadly accurate polls the candidates used,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the ones behind the scenes. We'll talk to the best
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of them all. John McLaughlin about the mid terms, about
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: all sorts of things coming up, next on seven to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: ten WR. The Mark Simone Show continues on sevent ten
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: WOR Well do you see all these public polls, you know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: these college polls, media polls, and they mostly just junk.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: They're cheap, they're flimsy, they don't talk to a lot
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of people, they don't talk to the right people. They're
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: often biased and slanted. Now behind the scenes, you got
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the real polls, the ones the candidates use. They cost
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, they're much more sophisticated. And the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: best polster of all is John McLaughlin, and you can
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: go to his website McLachlan online dot com. John McLaughlin
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and the company do the best polls in the world
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that work for presidents and all the top candidates. John McLachlin,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well, and uh, thank you for the flattering remarks.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: And as long as Donald Trump's president, I'll take it you.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: It's good I.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Should point out yours polster as well as many other
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: presidents all over the world. Hey, I'm watching the Morning
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Joe and apparently the Republicans are way behind in the midterms.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: They're going to get wiped out everywhere. And of course
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Morning Joe what's the real story.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: By the way, if you go to our website, you
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: just said at McLaughlan online dot com, we posted national
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: numbers on Friday, thousand likely voters of the survey that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: was completed until you know that Thursday, So it was
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: it was just completed when we posted on Friday. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the president has a forty nine percent job approval, forty
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: seven disapproved. So so he's hanging around fifty percent, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: it's pretty static because his base is rock solid. We
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: could do better in the center. We could raise our
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: numbers among independents and some other voters that we created
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: our coalition. They I mean, he won with fifty percent.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of these polls that get the media quotes,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: they're polls of adults, they're polls of registered voters. They're
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: not likely voters to turnout. Was one hundred and fifty
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: five million where he ran for president and we got
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of the popular vote. And then you see
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: poles like economists, you gov and they're saying it's terrible.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I have these biased word of questions. Don't
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: only have thirty three thirty four percent people who said
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: they voted for Trump in twenty twenty four which which
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: means like, can we get fifty percent? So they go
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: out of their way to find people that don't like
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the president and put them in their polls, and then
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: they try the same vegas that we're going to lose
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this selection.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but let me explain that to people. Two things.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: You use likely voters, which is hard to find. They
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: just say adults, which means they can do it in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the faculty lounge of Columbia. Then they they don't put
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: enough Republicans in the sample. So but I interrupted, but.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Go ahead, No, that's all right.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: But because you put in context your listeners, they'd rather
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: listen to you understand your listeners. So, but you put
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: in context because they they literally they can have illegal
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: immigrants in their polls. When they pull adults, they're just
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: randomly call cell phones and if they call, a lot
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: of them are online surveys of people that are paid
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to take them online. But we have to do it
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: by voters. We call voters and we ask them if
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: they're likely to vote. Because for president, you had to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: earn fifty five million voters come out in twenty eighteen.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: In the midterm, you had to hundred eighteen million nationwide
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, you had to harn twelve million,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: So you're not going to get the same turnout. And
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the key thing for the Republicans is my generic ballot
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: still has the Democrats ahead by two points.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: Really yeah, yeah, as they're leading forty four to forty six.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Because there's a gap between Trump's job approval and the Republicans.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Because the President wants to do things like voter ID
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: proof of citizenship to vote, the Republicans in the Senate
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: aren't moving it, so some Trump voters may.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: Not come out, they may not vote for them. And
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: the same thing, like.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people like Larry Cudlow and myself
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: and others who think we need another tax cut, we
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: need pro growth tax cuts to help people, you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: grow out of inflation. And you know we've got like
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: sixty one percent one of an index taxes for inflation,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you've got uh sixty eight percent. Want to collapse the
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: brackets so that people under two hundred gram only two
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand a year only make only pay twelve percent
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: federal taxes instead of twenty two. So those are really
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: good ideas that we can't get the Republicans in the Senate.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: To move Yeah, and Larry Cudlo's absolutely right. The Republicans
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: right now, the messaging stinks. They don't have any right now.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm one of the people. Even though you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: the president's not running for reelection, although he did, like
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: just had the correspondence dinner when he said he was
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: wearing a twenty twenty eight at he does that to
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: get a ride out of the president, but he's he
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: can't run again, so you know he won't be on
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the ballot. So in November, the Republicans need to get
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: every Trump voter out that seventy seven million that voted
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: for Trump. We need to motivate it to come out
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: that they come out at higher levels than the seventy
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: five million the voter for House and that's what decides
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the election. And by the way, you're seeing places like
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: here in New York where most voters don't like Kathy
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Huckel And in the beginning of the month it was
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a poll by coefficient and Independent Paul had Bruce Blakeman
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: only down six points. So you're seeing it in certain
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: races around the country where the Democrats are not liked
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, Mayor Mandami, he's not liked in the suburbs,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: he's not liked upstate, you know, and he's raising his
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: negatives in particularly in the attleboroughs. So you may see
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: some trends that where we bucked the midterm. We bucked
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: the midterm election. But you know, two thousand and two
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Republicans picked up eight House seats and picked up two
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Senate seats in a midterm.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: We could do it again.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now you're also Bruce Blakeman's poster correct.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And Bruce is doing very well, working really hard.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Now he has been climbing. Didn't he start like twenty
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: points behind and now he's six.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, something like that. But that's typicult for him.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, when he got for carrying exec when
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: he got in that race back in twenty one, he
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: was down twenty four points in March and he won.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: You know, he won.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Then in November he came back from twenty four points down.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: So this one, yeah, he was down twenty points. We
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: had him in a statewide Paul that was released in March,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: he was down nine. This other Paul has him down six.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: And Governor Hulcohol has a lot more powerful incumbency. But
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: she's just you know, the utility builds are too high,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: taxes are too high, the you know, the state and
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the city or in deficits, and people know that means
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: future taxes.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: And crime is going on.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Then you've seen, you know this, this tragedy last week
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: where the mayor's attacking Israel and one of my other
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: clients prime minister. Then yeah, he attacks him personally because
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: he's trying to beat.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: Him in Israel.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: But then but then you know the next day you
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: get two people stabbed. Poor guy was wearing Yamica and
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: he got stabbed in New York. Because I'm sure this
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: is one Mandamie's plan is he's got to run for reelection.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: He knows that he loses the Jewish vote. He wants
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to create a place, a city where Jewish voters leave
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the city and it's it's it's they're afraid. And you
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: know he's doing this intentionally. He's a really bad guy.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Just you know, It's it's one thing to dislike people
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: based on what their views are that you ideologically disagree, etc.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: It's another thing to dislike people because of who they are.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Because once you'd start disliking Jews, then it's the next thing,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I be Blacks and Italians or whatever. He just you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: he'll just it's it's sad because New York City, that's
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: that's against their tradition. So New York State, we have
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: different values, different things. But by the way, one good
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: note from the survey that we had, we asked the
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: question nationally, all things being equal, for Congress, do you
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: support a Republican candidate who supports market capitalism or are
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: you going to vote for a Democrat candidate who supports
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: big government socialism. The Republican in that case, if they
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: stand for free market capitalism versus a big government socialist,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: they win forty nine to thirty six.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And they went among independents, they went among but they
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: got to frame the race. They got to have a message.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Know what, but you will, Larry've talked about is right.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Now the president coast of Michigan today where you got
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: some crazy socialist in the race there, But that's the heartland,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that's the middle of America, Michigan. A socialist isn't going
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to win that, are they?
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Well, Democrats tend to win.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: But Mike Rodgers is an excellent candidate for the Republicans,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: but you got a tough primary between Haley Stevens, is
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: a very liberal Democrat, and Al Sayyad, who's a Democrat
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: socialist who has some pretty radical views. So, I mean
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the cancer of big government socialism is spreading, whether it's
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: main Although Plantner had to step down, they found another
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: big radical tall Rico in Texas. So the Democrats are
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: they're getting beaten their own primaries by these Democrats socialists,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and they're knocking off you know, like you saw the
• 31:10
