Hour 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle's resignation. · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Now on The Voice of New York, it's the Mark
0:04
Speaker 1: Simone Show on 710WOR.
0:12
Speaker 2: Hey, it's almost Friday.
0:14
Speaker 3: It's Thursday.
0:14
Speaker 2: It's going to be a nice day today, too. We've
0:16
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. We'll get to President Trump.
0:19
Speaker 2: We'll get to Ilhan Omar. It looks like she's got
0:23
Speaker 2: some problems. We'll get to Kimberly Guilfoyle, speaking of problems.
0:27
Speaker 2: We'll get to Cornell. We'll get to Iran. We'll get to...
0:31
Speaker 2: The debate, the fallout from the debate, Hochul versus Blakeman.
0:35
Speaker 2: We'll get to Mamdani. Do you know that the Plaza
0:38
Speaker 2: Hotel is closing? For four years. The Plaza Hotel, 59th
0:45
Speaker 2: and 5th, probably the most legendary hotel of all of
0:49
Speaker 2: New York. They're closing it for four years for renovations.
0:54
Speaker 2: I was in there a couple of days ago. It
0:56
Speaker 2: looked fine to me, but... Four years of renovations? Yeah,
1:00
Speaker 2: they're closing the whole thing down. Nobody will be able
1:02
Speaker 2: to stay there. Part of the hotel is very expensive condos.
1:07
Speaker 2: I don't know what happens to those people. It's a
1:09
Speaker 2: separate entrance and everything, so maybe it won't affect them. Although,
1:12
Speaker 2: even if they stay, there's going to be massive construction
1:15
Speaker 2: for four years, driving them crazy. But all the employees
1:19
Speaker 2: are told they can have their jobs back at the
1:23
Speaker 2: same pay in four years. But what the hell are
1:25
Speaker 2: they supposed to do for four years? There's also some
1:28
Speaker 2: stores in there. There's a hair salon. There's some other
1:30
Speaker 2: things in there. I don't know what they're supposed to do.
1:33
Speaker 2: But it's happening at the end of the Christmas season, January.
1:36
Speaker 2: They'll close the plaza for four years. It's beautiful. Even
1:40
Speaker 2: if you're not in there, just walking along that part,
1:43
Speaker 2: 59th and 5th, the Grand Army Plaza, Central Park. You
1:46
Speaker 2: see the plaza there. It's beautiful. Now it's going to
1:48
Speaker 2: be all covered up and scaffolding for four years. The
1:53
Speaker 2: carriages are also leaving Central Park, the horse-drawn carriages. Mom Donnie,
1:59
Speaker 2: he's behind this too.
2:00
Speaker 4: Over the course of this entire conversation, I have always
2:03
Speaker 4: spoken about the importance of taking care of the workers
2:06
Speaker 4: in this industry because they have earned their livelihoods from
2:09
Speaker 4: this work. They should not be ones that are simply
2:13
Speaker 4: left as an afterthought of what comes after this.
2:15
Speaker 2: I will take care of the workers. Meantime, your medallion
2:18
Speaker 2: is no good anymore. Your business is canceled. It's now
2:21
Speaker 2: illegal in New York. It's not going to go into
2:24
Speaker 2: effect for about a year. It'll give them time to
2:26
Speaker 2: transition to something else.
2:28
Speaker 4: Here we are on October 14th of 2026, and we're
2:33
Speaker 4: talking about legislation that will come into full effect in 2028.
2:35
Speaker 4: It is the kind of runway that's required to ensure
2:38
Speaker 4: that we can fulfill all of these different obligations.
2:40
Speaker 2: You see, that's the key to being a Mayor Mamdani.
2:44
Speaker 2: Just sound like you're very intelligent. You said the key
2:47
Speaker 2: to the runway to the... It sounds like he knows
2:49
Speaker 2: what he's talking about, but of course he doesn't.
2:52
Speaker 4: We have to both protect the workers... protect the workforce
2:55
Speaker 4: that has found their livelihood from this job. And then
2:58
Speaker 4: when it comes to the horses, I don't think the
2:59
Speaker 4: vision is that the horses would then continue to perform
3:03
Speaker 4: this kind of work elsewhere. There have been a lot
3:06
Speaker 4: of different proposals that have been forward, whether it's sanctuary, um,
3:09
Speaker 4: whether it's then being taken in by farms, things of
3:11
Speaker 4: that nature, that's everything we're going to be investigating.
3:14
Speaker 2: He is, you can be sure this guy will not rest.
3:17
Speaker 2: He will be investigating that day and night. Uh, believe me,
3:20
Speaker 2: he forgot about it as soon as he left the room. Now, uh,
3:24
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's a very caring, concerned mayor. However,
3:29
Speaker 2: he is with the city council. They're voting to eliminate
3:32
Speaker 2: your livelihood, make what you do illegal, and that's it.
3:35
Speaker 5: Goodbye.
3:36
Speaker 2: Now, again, it's a year and a half you got
3:37
Speaker 2: to figure something else out, but okay.
3:39
Speaker 4: We are having a broad conversation about what that can
3:42
Speaker 4: look like so that none of these workers and owners
3:45
Speaker 4: are the ones that are made to pay for... the
3:47
Speaker 4: sunsetting of an industry.
3:49
Speaker 2: You see, that's how you sound very smart. We're not
3:51
Speaker 2: having a conversation. We're having a broad conversation, a broad conversation.
3:56
Speaker 2: What the hell is a broad conversation? And, uh, we'll
4:00
Speaker 2: give you a couple of months. You don't say that.
4:03
Speaker 2: You say, we'll be sunsetting this. You use all these
4:06
Speaker 2: government terms and it sounds like you are really, really, uh,
4:10
Speaker 2: on top of everything. Uh, president Trump back at the
4:13
Speaker 2: white house and having a luncheon today, a Rose garden luncheon. Now, uh,
4:18
Speaker 2: He's got a full work day. You know, just think
4:20
Speaker 2: about this. What's today, Thursday? Just this week. It's only Thursday.
4:25
Speaker 2: Actually got back last night. So from Sunday to Wednesday,
4:28
Speaker 2: he was in Alaska. He was in Nevada. He was
4:31
Speaker 2: in Arizona. He was in Montana. That's two and a
4:34
Speaker 2: half days. That's a big, big travel schedule. So latest
4:39
Speaker 2: on the midterm, still the same. It looks like Republicans,
4:42
Speaker 2: very good chance of taking the Senate. Republicans look very
4:45
Speaker 2: good for taking the Senate. The House, it's too close
4:48
Speaker 2: to call. Now, don't fall for all this fake news.
4:52
Speaker 2: If you watch the fake news, they'll keep telling you
4:55
Speaker 2: it's hopeless for the Republicans. If you read in the
4:59
Speaker 2: New York Times yesterday, there's like nine major stories about
5:01
Speaker 2: the Republicans are giving up. It's hopeless. The Republicans are
5:04
Speaker 2: pulling out of these states. If you watch MS Now
5:09
Speaker 2: or CNN, they keep quoting the Cook political report. The
5:14
Speaker 2: widely regarded, highly checked, Cook Political Report. They keep telling
5:19
Speaker 2: me about this Cook Political Report. Nobody reads this except
5:23
Speaker 2: these swamp idiots, except the fake news crowd. They love
5:26
Speaker 2: this Cook Political Report. Started by Charlie Cook. Even he
5:30
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with it anymore. Even he left.
5:32
Speaker 2: He sold the thing. It's run now by Amy Walter,
5:35
Speaker 2: who is the most left-wing biased person in the world.
5:39
Speaker 2: Former PBS anchor. Do you need to know more? Amy Walter,
5:44
Speaker 2: the highly regarded Cook Report. Highly regarded by who? Check
5:49
Speaker 2: the record of the Cook Report. In fact, you can
5:52
Speaker 2: use the Cook Report as a reverse barometer of what's
5:54
Speaker 2: going to happen. They keep quoting it. The Cook Report
5:57
Speaker 2: has now taken 18 races. They've moved it to the
6:00
Speaker 2: Democratic column. Well, they did the same thing with Hillary
6:03
Speaker 2: Clinton in 2016. In fact, the highly regarded Cook Political
6:11
Speaker 2: Report had Hillary Clinton winning in a landslide, an electoral
6:15
Speaker 2: landslide in 2016. Of course, it was totally, completely wrong.
6:21
Speaker 2: So don't take any of this. This is all a
6:24
Speaker 2: PSYOP operation. This is to discourage any Republicans from even
6:29
Speaker 2: thinking of going to the polls. That's why they rig
6:31
Speaker 2: those polls, the public polls. They want to convince you
6:36
Speaker 2: that there's no hope. There's no reason to even go vote.
6:39
Speaker 2: There's absolutely no hope. But the way it stands now, Senate,
6:44
Speaker 2: very likely Republicans hold the Senate. House, too close to call.
6:48
Speaker 2: It's going to depend on turnout. If Republicans turn out,
6:52
Speaker 2: they'll win. If Democrats turn out, they'll win. Right now,
6:55
Speaker 2: that's the way it stands. Bruce Blakeman, looks like he's
6:59
Speaker 2: picking up points from the debate. Looks like the momentum
7:03
Speaker 2: will shift now towards Blakeman. He was very good in
7:05
Speaker 2: the debate. It was on New York One. Nobody sees that.
7:09
Speaker 2: But the clips are going all over the place. And
7:11
Speaker 2: Blakeman was very strong out yesterday. Speaking about Cornell.
7:16
Speaker 6: Kathy Hochul has already prejudged this case. But what I
7:19
Speaker 6: have to say to you, Kathy, is as follows. Where
7:21
Speaker 6: were you? What did you do? You were the trustee
7:25
Speaker 6: of Cornell University. You are the governor of the state.
7:28
Speaker 6: You fund Cornell University to the tune of $ 150 million
7:32
Speaker 6: a year. They're a partner of the state of New York.
7:36
Speaker 6: And as a trustee and as governor, you didn't call
7:38
Speaker 6: for an independent investigation when you found out that the
7:41
Speaker 6: district attorney was dropping the case.
7:43
Speaker 7: Thank you.
7:43
Speaker 2: Shame on you. Yeah, well, that's from the debate. Actually,
7:46
Speaker 2: it turns out, I don't think anybody knew that she
7:48
Speaker 2: was on the board at Cornell. This whole horrible incident
7:52
Speaker 2: was two years ago. So if somebody dropped the ball,
7:55
Speaker 2: the ball got dropped two years ago and she was
7:57
Speaker 2: on the board at the time and should have known
7:59
Speaker 2: about it. And half of Cornell is a state university,
8:02
Speaker 2: part of the state university system. So she really should
8:06
Speaker 2: have been on top of that. Uh, Elon Omar got big,
8:09
Speaker 2: big problems. You know, they raided her house. They've gotten
8:13
Speaker 2: all these documents. They're looking at immigration fraud. They found, uh, Well,
8:18
Speaker 2: it looks like she lied about her net worth on
8:20
Speaker 2: those financial disclosure forms that you have to file in Congress.
8:25
Speaker 2: One of them, she's worth $ 30 million. Next thing you know,
8:27
Speaker 2: she's worth $ 300, 000. Makes absolutely no sense. But the one
8:31
Speaker 2: that looks pretty serious for her right now, it looks
8:34
Speaker 2: like at one point she lied about her age. She
8:38
Speaker 2: made her age lower by one year. Now, a lot
8:43
Speaker 2: of people lie about their age. No, no, no. This
8:45
Speaker 2: was for a the purpose of defrauding the immigration people
8:50
Speaker 2: at the time when her father came over here without
8:53
Speaker 2: getting too into the weeds. If the father gets over
8:56
Speaker 2: here and gets a citizenship or a visa or green, whatever, if,
9:01
Speaker 2: if he comes over here and he's got a minor child,
9:04
Speaker 2: the minor child would get citizenship. So she made her
9:09
Speaker 2: age all of a sudden one year lower than, So
9:13
Speaker 2: it looked like she was 17. She was actually 18
9:16
Speaker 2: and not a minor under that system. So she made
9:20
Speaker 2: her age a year lower to appear to be a minor.
9:22
Speaker 2: And if this is all true, and it looks like
9:24
Speaker 2: it is, if this is all true, she can be deported.
9:29
Speaker 2: Her citizenship is no longer valid. And if you lie
9:32
Speaker 2: in any way on these immigration forms, you can be deported.
9:35
Speaker 2: And obviously, if you're no longer a citizen, you can't
9:38
Speaker 2: be serving in Congress. So It's under investigation now, Department
9:43
Speaker 2: of Justice, U.S. Attorney's Office. Let's see what happens. This
9:47
Speaker 2: is the word right now, but let's see if it
9:50
Speaker 2: actually gets done in a courtroom. You could see her
9:53
Speaker 2: deported at some point. Now, what's going to happen in Iran? Well, it's...
10:00
Speaker 2: been very quiet. People are yelling to stop the Iran war.
10:03
Speaker 2: How would you stop it? There's nothing going on. Nobody's
10:05
Speaker 2: fired a shot in about six weeks. It's been a
10:08
Speaker 2: month and a half. There's nothing to stop. But the
10:13
Speaker 2: hint has always been that once the midterms are over,
10:17
Speaker 2: that President Trump will finish the job, will go after Iran.
10:22
Speaker 2: There'll be a massive attack, taking out anything and everything
10:26
Speaker 2: of their leadership. And now we're hearing that what they
10:31
Speaker 2: would do once the midterms are over is use the Moab,
10:35
Speaker 2: that is the mother of all bombs, that is the
10:39
Speaker 2: biggest weapon we have. It's the single biggest non-nuclear weapon
10:45
Speaker 2: bomb that we have. It's a massive bomb. We haven't
10:49
Speaker 2: used them so far. Last time we used, we did
10:51
Speaker 2: use one in 2017 against ISIS in Afghanistan. It is
10:56
Speaker 2: a massive bomb. So the president apparently has asked the
11:00
Speaker 2: military to draw up the targets for the Moab bomb
11:05
Speaker 2: the day after the midterms, if they want to finally
11:09
Speaker 2: finish this off in Iran. It will be a Moab war.
11:13
Speaker 2: It's an incredible weapon. And we got plenty of them.
11:17
Speaker 2: We got plenty of weapons. Don't listen to all this.
11:19
Speaker 2: So we're out of missiles. We're out of weapons. We're fine.
11:23
Speaker 2: And now why is this leaking out? Well, they want
11:27
Speaker 2: Iran to get wind of this because maybe they'll negotiate more.
11:31
Speaker 2: Kimberly Guilfoyle is out. You know, the ambassador in Greece
11:37
Speaker 2: lives in a beautiful mansion in the nicest part of Athens. Magnificent.
11:41
Speaker 2: magnificent mansion. She's got to leave there. She's got a
11:44
Speaker 2: few days to pack up and get out. Word is
11:47
Speaker 2: she'll head to Florida. That's where she was living before.
11:51
Speaker 2: She wants to go back to Florida. Also, the word
11:54
Speaker 2: is she's now searching for a very wealthy husband. So
11:59
Speaker 2: if you are a very rich guy, we got many
12:02
Speaker 2: of them listening to us. She's on the market. If
12:07
Speaker 2: you've always been a Kimberly Guilfile fan, I'd Get busy
12:12
Speaker 2: if I were you. She's looking for somebody right now.
12:17
Speaker 2: As far as working, I don't know.
12:18
Speaker 5: I don't know.
12:19
Speaker 2: She could go back to– she was on Fox for years.
12:21
Speaker 2: I don't think she can go back there. She may
12:25
Speaker 2: be calling Newsmax as we speak or something like that.
12:28
Speaker 2: A book deal is possible. Although with all these allegations
12:37
Speaker 2: against her. And the other thing is they asked for
12:40
Speaker 2: her resignation from what I'm hearing. Because of all the
12:43
Speaker 2: things you heard about taking the jet rides from this guy,
12:46
Speaker 2: money from that guy, asking this guy for money, offering
12:50
Speaker 2: influence to this guy. From what I'm hearing, there were
12:53
Speaker 2: more allegations coming. And they did not want to have
12:57
Speaker 2: her there for the rest of these allegations. There's more coming.
13:00
Speaker 2: The rumor is. The rumor is. Mamdani. Hey, tonight is
13:06
Speaker 2: the Al Smith dinner. And it's one of those off years.
13:10
Speaker 2: In the presidential year, the presidential candidates come, and it's
13:13
Speaker 2: a huge, major news. It's an off year, so it's
13:17
Speaker 2: not as big a deal. But it'll be interesting to
13:21
Speaker 2: see if Mamdani comes to that. Now, it's a real
13:23
Speaker 2: establishment dinner. It's always the governor and everybody, all the
13:28
Speaker 2: top business guys, all the top political leaders. It'll be
13:31
Speaker 2: interesting to see if Mamdani comes to this. And the
13:34
Speaker 2: other thing is the honoree this year is Jessica Tisch. So,
13:40
Speaker 2: I don't know what Mamdani's doing with Jessica Tisch right now.
13:44
Speaker 2: He's not going to get rid of her, but the DSA,
13:47
Speaker 2: the crazy nutjob democratic socialists, are demanding she be fired.
13:52
Speaker 2: Mamdani is sticking by her. They're demanding she be fired.
13:55
Speaker 2: I don't know, because of something with ICE. The real
13:57
Speaker 2: reason is because she's Jewish. She's pro-Israel. That's why they
14:01
Speaker 2: want her out. But will Mamdani show up? She's being
14:06
Speaker 2: honored at this dinner tonight. I don't know. He's got
14:09
Speaker 2: to walk a tightrope now between these crazy left wingers
14:13
Speaker 2: and normal people. Mamdani so far has been good with
14:17
Speaker 2: the NYPD.
14:18
Speaker 4: I have directed a full review of the 24 hour
14:22
Speaker 4: period that starts with the horrific ice shooting that extends
14:28
Speaker 4: to the police department's response to that incident. As well
14:30
Speaker 4: as to the ensuing protests.
14:32
Speaker 2: Now, stop for a minute here. Horrific shooting, any shooting
14:36
Speaker 2: is horrific. If you have to shoot somebody, it's horrific.
14:38
Speaker 2: But the guy got in his car. They told him
14:43
Speaker 2: to stop. He jumped in the car. And then they
14:45
Speaker 2: tried to box him in with their cars. That didn't work.
14:48
Speaker 2: And then he tried to run into the offices, try
14:50
Speaker 2: to run them down with his car. That's how he
14:53
Speaker 2: got shot. blaming the NYPD. Well, you can't blame them
14:57
Speaker 2: because under your orders, under Hochul's orders, they weren't allowed
15:00
Speaker 2: to help ICE. Had they helped ICE, they could have
15:02
Speaker 2: stopped the guy and handed him over peacefully. But you
15:06
Speaker 2: and Hochul won't allow that.
15:07
Speaker 4: It also extends to ICE's use of privately owned parking
15:10
Speaker 4: lots as staging locations, and then to a broader review
15:14
Speaker 4: of what more the city can do to protect immigrant
15:17
Speaker 4: New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
15:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, this thing about privately owned parking lots, apparently... they
15:24
Speaker 2: waited in a Costco parking lot. See, the problem is
15:26
Speaker 2: if you cooperate with ICE, like Blakeman did in Long Island,
15:32
Speaker 2: he had his local police cooperate with ICE. So if
15:35
Speaker 2: they're going to come in to arrest an illegal that
15:37
Speaker 2: they know about, local police will go with them and
15:40
Speaker 2: help them. And that way, the two ICE officers will
15:44
Speaker 2: come to take the prisoner. Now, if the local police
15:47
Speaker 2: won't be there to assist, no local police, They can't
15:51
Speaker 2: just send two ICE officers. They've got to send 20
15:52
Speaker 2: because they've got to protect themselves. There's no local police
15:56
Speaker 2: to protect them. So it becomes a much bigger operation
15:59
Speaker 2: because of Hochul, because of Mamdani. And obviously you've got
16:03
Speaker 2: to wait somewhere. And they probably had six or seven vehicles.
16:07
Speaker 2: So they picked a, you know, Costco has a big
16:10
Speaker 2: parking lot. So that's what they were waiting in the
16:13
Speaker 2: parking lot. Mamdani, I don't know, he's going to try
16:16
Speaker 2: to have some kind of law. They can't wait in
16:18
Speaker 2: any parking lot anywhere. Doesn't make any sense. Just do
16:21
Speaker 2: what Blakeman did. Cooperate with ICE. They are going to
16:25
Speaker 2: arrest illegals who have committed all kinds of crime, who
16:28
Speaker 2: got a rap sheet, who are dangerous criminals. Cooperate with them.
16:33
Speaker 2: And that's what happened in Long Island. The arrests are orderly.
16:37
Speaker 2: Nobody gets shot in the street like that. Anyway, we've
16:40
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to. It's going to be
16:42
Speaker 2: nice today. It's not going to be warm. It's going
16:44
Speaker 2: to be in the 60s, but bright and sunny. A
16:47
Speaker 2: lot of rain tomorrow. Don't forget, I'm on three hours now,
16:50
Speaker 2: nine to noon every day, three hours, nine to noon
16:53
Speaker 2: on 710WOR. Hey, so getting back to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
16:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she's leaving and saying.
17:12
Speaker 2: The word is she's looking for a very wealthy guy.
17:14
Speaker 2: So we have a very wealthy audience, believe it or not.
17:17
Speaker 2: And we have a lot of a wide range of
17:18
Speaker 2: people in the audience. But believe it or not, this
17:22
Speaker 2: program has the highest per capita income audience of any show.
17:29
Speaker 2: There's also a thing called the C-suite index. You know,
17:32
Speaker 2: how many C-suite guys? Ours is like 270 or something.
17:36
Speaker 2: Normal is 100. So it's a very wealthy audience. So
17:39
Speaker 2: you very wealthy guys listening now. There's two possibilities here.
17:44
Speaker 2: If you've always had a thing for Kimberly Guilfoyle, she's
17:47
Speaker 2: looking for a very wealthy guy. You just go DM
17:50
Speaker 2: her on Instagram or.
17:53
Speaker 5: On X.
17:55
Speaker 2: Now, the other thing is they haven't decided. There's nobody
17:57
Speaker 2: in mind for the next Greek ambassador, next ambassador to Greece.
18:03
Speaker 2: It's open. They're looking for somebody. Now, it's going to
18:05
Speaker 2: be wealthy for that because you've got to make a
18:07
Speaker 2: lot of donations. You're going to make probably a lot
18:10
Speaker 2: of midterm election quick donations or to the Trump super PACs.
18:16
Speaker 2: And then if you want to be the ambassador to
18:18
Speaker 2: Greece and live in that beautiful mansion they have in Athens.
18:22
Speaker 2: So they have nobody in mind yet. What happens is
18:26
Speaker 2: when there's, when an ambassador leaves and they haven't got
18:29
Speaker 2: a new one, a low key sort of a career
18:32
Speaker 2: diplomat comes over and is the acting ambassador. They actually
18:36
Speaker 2: call it the charge d'affaires. But, uh, It's a foreign
18:40
Speaker 2: service guy, a professional foreign service guy comes over and
18:44
Speaker 2: acts as the ambassador until they find somebody. So, wealthy guy,
18:49
Speaker 2: you're looking to be the ambassador of Greece, looking for
18:51
Speaker 2: Kimberly Guilfoyle, get on it right now. There's going to
18:54
Speaker 2: be a line for both these things. Cornell University, the
18:59
Speaker 2: faculty is furious. They want the president out. The president
19:03
Speaker 2: of Cornell University, you could try to argue he's done
19:07
Speaker 2: a good job. He did everything well. If it's front
19:09
Speaker 2: page news two years later after the incident, you can't
19:14
Speaker 2: say he's done a great job of handling this. This
19:16
Speaker 2: is not the best crisis management we've ever seen. The
19:19
Speaker 2: faculty now demand all the faculty getting together, demanding he
19:23
Speaker 2: be out.
19:24
Speaker 4: The title nine process found two of the men to
19:27
Speaker 4: have raped Jane Doe. Um, but under this process, they
19:31
Speaker 4: received temporary suspension.
19:32
Speaker 2: This is the faculty. This guy's on the faculty. Let's
19:36
Speaker 2: try somebody else here.
19:37
Speaker 6: I have to say, no, the two people you've said
19:40
Speaker 6: have been found responsible for rape.
19:42
Speaker 2: That is not the kind of faculty is this. They're
19:44
Speaker 2: all like mumbling.
19:44
Speaker 1: Guys.
19:45
Speaker 2: Anyway, 16 people apparently have been accused of some kind
19:51
Speaker 2: of rape, sexual assault.
19:52
Speaker 3: 16.
19:53
Speaker 2: And apparently only two have been expelled. So that's one
19:56
Speaker 2: of the complaints. Again, this incident was two years ago.
20:02
Speaker 2: It should have been settled. Now, at the time, the
20:06
Speaker 2: president was only the acting president. So I guess you
20:09
Speaker 2: give him a little pass. I don't know. He just
20:11
Speaker 2: got there as acting president. But still, it's been a mess.
20:16
Speaker 2: And again, Blakeman is right. You got to blame Kathy Hochul.
20:20
Speaker 2: She's on the board of Cornell. Should have been all
20:22
Speaker 2: over this. Now, these sort of incidents, turns out they
20:27
Speaker 2: happen a lot. 8,000 of them in the last year
20:30
Speaker 2: in colleges all over America. So these college presidents should
20:34
Speaker 2: have figured this out. A better procedure, a better way
20:37
Speaker 2: of doing this. But let's wait and see what happens.
20:39
Speaker 2: Some Jane Doe, I don't know, there's arguments, things coming out.
20:45
Speaker 2: Let's wait until it gets into a courtroom and we
20:49
Speaker 2: see the actual evidence. But it looks like Jane Doe's
20:52
Speaker 2: story might not hold up in a couple of places.
20:56
Speaker 2: But we'll see. Remember the Duke lacrosse case? Same exact
21:00
Speaker 2: thing with the whole lacrosse team. And it turned out
21:02
Speaker 2: the accuser was totally making everything up. Turns out the
21:05
Speaker 2: whole thing was false. So I don't think that's the
21:09
Speaker 2: case here, but let's see what happens. Sean Diddy Combs,
21:12
Speaker 2: remember he was rushed to the hospital from prison, head injury,
21:17
Speaker 2: bad head injury. They said he fell and hit his
21:20
Speaker 2: head on the bunk bed and that caused this big
21:23
Speaker 2: head injury. One in the morning, they rushed him to
21:25
Speaker 2: the hospital. He was there for six hours. They brought
21:28
Speaker 2: him back to prison. Well, it turns out it wasn't,
21:33
Speaker 2: he fell and hit his head on the, no, I
21:34
Speaker 2: don't think anybody was buying that anyway. Turns out A
21:38
Speaker 2: big drug cartel leader did that to him. A guy
21:45
Speaker 2: named Dudas got into, it says, a physical altercation, which
21:50
Speaker 2: means this guy smashed Diddy's head. Apparently, what they were
21:55
Speaker 2: angry about, you remember the story came out that Diddy
21:57
Speaker 2: in prison was getting all sorts of perks. You know,
22:01
Speaker 2: if you spread money around in some prisons, you get
22:03
Speaker 2: whatever you want. Remember in Goodfellas? When they were in prison,
22:07
Speaker 2: the guards are bringing them lobsters and steaks, and they're
22:10
Speaker 2: having champagne, and they've got their own room with their
22:13
Speaker 2: own beds. It was unbelievable what you can buy in prison.
22:19
Speaker 2: So apparently that was going on with Diddy. He had
22:21
Speaker 2: his own television. He had his own phone. He had
22:24
Speaker 2: his own porn. He had whatever he wanted. Well, he
22:28
Speaker 2: got caught. It came out. NBC News did a big expose.
22:33
Speaker 2: And when he got caught, when everything happened, the reason
22:39
Speaker 2: the drug dealer is mad and these other prisoners, apparently
22:42
Speaker 2: after that happened, because we heard they moved Diddy into
22:45
Speaker 2: regular prison and took away all the perks. But apparently
22:49
Speaker 2: what happened is they then did a search of the
22:50
Speaker 2: whole prison. They went through everybody's cell and searched everybody.
22:55
Speaker 2: And a lot of these guys got caught. So the
22:58
Speaker 2: prison took away their cell phones and their stuff they
23:01
Speaker 2: had hidden. So they were furious at P. Diddy for
23:04
Speaker 2: causing that. But I don't know. Is it his fault? Yeah,
23:10
Speaker 2: I guess it is because he was so high profile.
23:13
Speaker 2: That's why the news, NBC and others were keeping an
23:18
Speaker 2: eye on him. Hey, you know, the big debate issue
23:22
Speaker 2: about electric bills, your electric bill is out of control
23:25
Speaker 2: in New York. It's like 400% what it used to be.
23:28
Speaker 2: And it's a lot of reasons. One is Cuomo and
23:31
Speaker 2: Hochul shut down Indian Point. That's 25% of our energy.
23:36
Speaker 2: They won't do fracking. That could bring everybody's bills way down.
23:40
Speaker 2: There's a lot of other reasons. But it turns out
23:43
Speaker 2: Mamdani is cashing in on this, too. And he's trying
23:46
Speaker 2: very hard to make sure you don't know that. Your
23:49
Speaker 2: Con Edison bill has, you know, it's always huge. It's
23:53
Speaker 2: bigger than it ever was. It's bigger than it should be.
23:56
Speaker 2: So we're going to allow a rule that would break
24:00
Speaker 2: down what you're paying for exactly. And City Hall is
24:03
Speaker 2: blocking it. They don't want this change where you can
24:05
Speaker 2: see the breakdown of the cost. Because one thing you'll
24:09
Speaker 2: find out is one of the costs is the property
24:12
Speaker 2: tax they put on the utilities facilities. They put this
24:17
Speaker 2: huge property tax on. In fact, they raised it like 45%.
24:23
Speaker 2: And that ends up in your electric bill. There are
24:26
Speaker 2: huge property taxes on these electric facilities facilities. And it's
24:31
Speaker 2: in your electric bill. So if they just took that
24:33
Speaker 2: property tax down, they could lower your bill 25% right there.
24:36
Speaker 2: That's Mamdani, but he doesn't want you to know that. Anyway,
24:40
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls in a little while. If you
24:42
Speaker 2: want to call, it's 800-321-0710. Mark Simone here, 9 to noon,
24:44
Speaker 2: three hours every day, 710WOR. The Mark Simone Show, now
24:47
Speaker 2: 9 till noon weekdays, 710WOR. Well, speaking of the Beatles,
25:02
Speaker 2: there was a little controversy online. John Lennon died and
25:07
Speaker 2: he had two sons. And the word was one son
25:11
Speaker 2: got all the money. Well, both sons responding online saying
25:17
Speaker 2: they each got the same share. The estate was split
25:20
Speaker 2: 50-50 between the two of them. Lennon died with a
25:23
Speaker 2: net worth of $ 200 million. Now, you might say, well,
25:27
Speaker 2: it's a Beatle. I mean, that song catalog should be
25:31
Speaker 2: more than $ 200 billion. You've got to remember, he died
25:33
Speaker 2: in 1980. Had he lived and still alive today, that
25:38
Speaker 2: $ 200 million estate would probably be $ 2 billion by now.
25:42
Speaker 2: You know, if you're Taylor Swift and you're worth a billion,
25:44
Speaker 2: imagine John Lennon, the Beatles catalog, what he'd be worth today. Now,
25:49
Speaker 2: the problem is to make real money in the music
25:52
Speaker 2: world today, you've got to tour. It's all in the concerts.
25:54
Speaker 2: Back then, it was all in selling albums. songwriting and
25:58
Speaker 2: selling albums. If you sold millions of albums, you made
26:00
Speaker 2: a fortune. Today, you don't make anything selling records because
26:04
Speaker 2: there's no such thing anymore. It's streaming, downloaded. All the
26:09
Speaker 2: money is in the touring. And Lennon hated to tour. Remember,
26:14
Speaker 2: the Beatles was a pretty brief thing. They exploded on
26:17
Speaker 2: the scene in 63. And by 70, they broke up.
26:20
Speaker 2: It was just seven years. And they stopped touring in 66.
26:24
Speaker 2: It was really only three years they went on tour.
26:26
Speaker 2: Lennon wouldn't do it anymore. He just thought it was
26:28
Speaker 2: too risky, security problems. He didn't want to do it.
26:32
Speaker 2: And Paul McCartney loves concerts. He loves to be on
26:37
Speaker 2: stage every night. He loves it more than anything. I
26:42
Speaker 2: think that's the real reason the Beatles broke up. It
26:44
Speaker 2: wasn't Yoko. I think McCartney realized he'd never, ever tour
26:49
Speaker 2: again if he stayed in the group. So I asked
26:51
Speaker 2: him that once privately. He gave me a long look.
26:56
Speaker 2: He wouldn't answer, but I could tell from the look.
26:59
Speaker 2: That was it. Let's take some calls. Let's go to
27:02
Speaker 2: Max in Manhattan. Max, how you doing?
27:06
Speaker 5: Hey, Mark. Thank you for taking my call.
27:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you in a hurry? You're talking very fast.
27:10
Speaker 2: What are you, Mom Donnie?
27:11
Speaker 5: I'll slow down. I'll slow down. I don't want to
27:13
Speaker 5: be Mom Donnie.
27:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't think that fast. A little slower.
27:18
Speaker 5: Kathy Hochul signed it.
27:19
Speaker 2: Well, not Joe Biden slow. Normal speed.
27:23
Speaker 5: Okay. Let's see if I can... Is the speed a
27:26
Speaker 5: little better?
27:27
Speaker 3: Perfect.
27:28
Speaker 5: Great. Hochul signed into effect where she can... Doctors and nurses,
27:37
Speaker 5: if you're in the hospital, they can just give you
27:39
Speaker 5: an injection, literally, to kill you. And your family doesn't
27:43
Speaker 5: need to know about this. You don't have to know
27:45
Speaker 5: about this. And it's called MAID. M-A-I-D.
27:50
Speaker 3: Well.
27:50
Speaker 2: That's Kathy Hochul, one strange thing after another. She is
27:53
Speaker 2: one wacky governor. The things she backs, the things she blocks,
27:58
Speaker 2: wackiest governor we've ever had. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
28:01
Speaker 2: how you doing?
28:03
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
28:04
Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
28:06
Speaker 3: It was John Lennon's birthday a week ago, or six
28:08
Speaker 3: days ago, actually. It was 86. It would have been 86.
28:11
Speaker 3: Hard to believe.
28:12
Speaker 2: Wow. He would have been 86. Yeah, well, McCartney's 84.
28:15
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Ringo was the oldest, and I think
28:20
Speaker 3: John was the second oldest.
28:23
Speaker 2: Hard to believe. These guys are going to hit 90.
28:26
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
28:27
Speaker 3: It's incredible. It's almost impossible to wrap your head around it.
28:31
Speaker 3: That was 60 years ago, basically, or You know, when
28:36
Speaker 3: they stopped touring, as you mentioned, in 66, it's 60
28:39
Speaker 3: years ago. That's like two lifetimes for some cases.
28:42
Speaker 2: You've got to give McCartney credit. I never ever saw
28:45
Speaker 2: a guy look in better shape at 84 than him,
28:48
Speaker 2: touring all over the world.
28:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a spokesman for vegetarianism, that's for sure. He's
28:53
Speaker 3: a hardcore vegetarian, I know.
28:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to spend your life eating beans
29:00
Speaker 2: and drinking beet juice.
29:05
Speaker 3: You know, there's a part of this Kimberly Guilfoyle story
29:09
Speaker 3: that I don't hear reported very often, and that's her
29:11
Speaker 3: connection to Gavin Newsom. I mean, she was married to him.
29:15
Speaker 3: So who's to say that he isn't behind some of this?
29:18
Speaker 3: That she, you know, get her out of the picture because...
29:21
Speaker 3: Come 2028 when he wants to run, who knows what
29:25
Speaker 3: she may have on him.
29:26
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
29:28
Speaker 3: Well, there is a connection. Who knows?
29:31
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
29:31
Speaker 2: But if you're Gavin Newsom, best scenarios have her over
29:34
Speaker 2: in Greece a million miles away.
29:36
Speaker 3: That's true. That's true. That's true.
29:40
Speaker 5: True.
29:40
Speaker 3: But, you know, it doesn't look good for her at
29:45
Speaker 3: this point, that's for sure.
29:46
Speaker 2: Well, she'll bounce back. She's a nice person in real life.
29:49
Speaker 2: A little wacky, but a nice person. Thanks for calling.
29:52
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ralph in Stanford. Ralph, how are you doing?
29:56
Speaker 2: Doing fine.
29:57
Speaker 5: How are you today?
29:58
Speaker 2: Let me check. Not bad, not bad.
30:01
Speaker 3: Good, all systems go.
30:02
Speaker 5: I got a question to ask you about New York's
30:05
Speaker 5: Restaurant Row.
30:06
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
30:07
Speaker 5: I know when things are down, it's not doing too well.
30:10
Speaker 2: The famous home of Joe Allen's, Barbetta. Oh, you're talking about,
30:15
Speaker 2: they call that Restaurant Row. That's the Broadway restaurants, the
30:18
Speaker 2: theater restaurants.
30:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, between 8th and 9th, 46th Street. How are they
30:25
Speaker 5: doing today? And are the restaurants a little farther up
30:28
Speaker 5: on 9th Avenue? Are they giving them a run for
30:30
Speaker 5: their money?
30:31
Speaker 2: No, those restaurants will always do well. Remember, they're right
30:33
Speaker 2: in the theater district. They're right there. Joe Allen's is
30:36
Speaker 2: like a legendary, great, casual restaurant. What's the other one
30:40
Speaker 2: he owns? The Italian place next door. Joe Allen owns it.
30:43
Speaker 2: I'm blanking out. And then, yeah.
30:45
Speaker 5: Vinnie Bumbach's.
30:47
Speaker 2: No, it's not Vinnie. Very fine Italian restaurant. And then
30:50
Speaker 2: there's Angus McAtee, who used to work at Joe Allen's. Yeah,
30:54
Speaker 2: they're all doing very well. A lot of great stuff
30:56
Speaker 2: in the theater. Just try out the Bond 45. That's
30:59
Speaker 2: a great restaurant. That's one of those Shelly Fireman restaurants.
31:02
Speaker 2: There's great restaurants all over New York, and they're all
31:04
Speaker 2: packed every night. Every night. Go anywhere in Manhattan. Every
31:10
Speaker 2: restaurant is packed every night. So don't believe all that
31:13
Speaker 2: about the New York is dying. You can always test it.
31:17
Speaker 2: Try to make a reservation in restaurants and then go
31:20
Speaker 2: online and check hotels and see what it costs per
31:23
Speaker 2: room at the top hotels. It's like $ 2, 500, $ 3, 000. New
31:29
Speaker 2: York is not dying. You can always tell when it's dying,
31:31
Speaker 2: the prices will drop. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert,
31:35
Speaker 2: how are you doing?
31:37
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. Thank you for taking my call. Mark,
31:40
Speaker 7: for those people that are intending to vote Democratic because
31:44
Speaker 7: they're angry with president trump that the gas prices are
31:49
Speaker 7: four dollars or six dollars i feel you're paying because
31:52
Speaker 7: i'm one of you but if you think voting democratic
31:56
Speaker 7: is going to solve your problems you just made gas
32:00
Speaker 7: 10 and.
32:01
Speaker 2: Possibly 12 you're trying to use logic on these people
32:04
Speaker 2: it doesn't work it's this is all emotional for them
32:07
Speaker 2: you can't logic doesn't mean anything yeah under democrat democrats
32:10
Speaker 2: always try to get the gas price up to ten
32:12
Speaker 2: dollars because they They want to push you to electric cars.
32:14
Speaker 3: Exactly.
32:15
Speaker 5: Yeah.
32:16
Speaker 7: You're exactly right, Mark. And then they talk about electricity.
32:19
Speaker 7: They're solving the problem. Wind and solar, which isn't going
32:23
Speaker 7: to cut it. And you're going to destroy acres of
32:25
Speaker 7: beautiful natural climate.
32:28
Speaker 2: Again, you're trying to use logic on them. They don't
32:31
Speaker 2: care about any logic.
32:33
Speaker 7: By the way, Restaurant Row, I was born and raised
32:35
Speaker 7: on it. 365 West 46th. I remember Barbetta Restaurant. I
32:40
Speaker 7: remember John's across the street from where we lived. It
32:42
Speaker 7: was a beautiful block in its day when Rudy was
32:45
Speaker 7: the mayor. I actually met Jimmy Stewart on the block
32:49
Speaker 7: walking to Barbetta. Barbetta, unfortunately, is closed now. Great call, Mark.
32:54
Speaker 2: It's a great street with really fine restaurants there. Coming up,
33:00
Speaker 2: we'll get time for one more. One more real fast.
33:03
Speaker 2: Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil, how are you doing?
33:06
Speaker 7: Thank you, Mark. Mark, do you remember when MSNBC had
33:10
Speaker 7: Keith Olbermann? Do you remember what organization he used to
33:13
Speaker 7: quote all the time?
33:15
Speaker 2: Cornell?
33:16
Speaker 5: No, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
33:19
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he went to Cornell. Although he
33:21
Speaker 2: went to the agricultural school, but he pretended he was
33:23
Speaker 2: a fancy Cornell graduate. Yeah, he was always, it wasn't
33:27
Speaker 2: just him, the whole left-wing world. They create these fake organizations.
33:31
Speaker 2: One was the Southern Poverty Law Center. supposedly the watchdog.
33:35
Speaker 2: It turned out they were funding the Ku Klux Klan.
33:38
Speaker 2: It was like, aren't the leaders all under indictment right now?
33:43
Speaker 2: Google it. You'll see. You'll see. Lots to get to
33:47
Speaker 2: in the next hour. In fact, MS Now, whatever they're
33:50
Speaker 2: calling it now, caught in more fake news. We'll get
33:52
Speaker 2: to that coming up. Don't forget at noon, it's Buck
