  Speaker 1: Blogged into Everything New York. I'm the voice of New York,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Mark Simon on sevent ten. Well, I'm getting a lot
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of texts. That's not because I'm popular. It just means
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I have a doctor's appointment. Doctor's appointment today. It's just
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a yearly physical. I got an email this morning reminded
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: me of this, doctors, But I just got a text
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: A reminder of your doctor's appointment is today. I got
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: one last night. I got What do they think I'm
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I can't remember anything. I mean, for hundreds
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of years people had doctor's appointments and you just wrote
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it down, you know, and you showed up. It was
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: not I've asked doctors, why do you do this? Why
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: do you bombard us with texts and emails, reminders and reminders. Wow,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a misappointment can really screw up everything, and it's the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: worst thing in the womb. I got lots of appointments
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: all day. I don't get four hundred texts. I mean,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you've got a meeting with somebody at three o'clock today,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: they don't send me a million texters or reminder your
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: meeting is. Actually actually start doing that to people. Just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a reminder, it's annoying. Hey, World Series last night, eighteen
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: innings walk off homer by Freddie Freeman, who's very famous
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: now for these walkoff homers. But eighteen innings, the game
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: went till two fifteen in the morning. There is nothing
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: more annoying or less fun to watch than one of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: those long inning games where nobody scores, nothing happens. I mean,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it's great watching all the defense. But so you had
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like nine ten innings of no scoring until that walk
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: off homer. Hey, you know it's the Dodgers. They won
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in eighteen eis. You know, it was fascinating. You know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it was there at the game. Sandy Kofax. I didn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: even know he's still alive. He's eighty nine years old,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the legendary Dodger pitcher. There was Sandy Kofax at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: World Series. So it's definitely not summer anymore. It's definitely
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: well into the fall. We're really into fall now. Because
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: daylight savings time ends Sunday night, Saturday night, you will
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gain an hour, you'll get an extra hour of sleep
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Saturday night. You want to know how close winter is?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, Yeah, that's right, it's that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: time already. It picked a tree from a suburban farm
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in Albany, Albany Suburbs, one hundred and thirty miles north
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of Manhattan. It's an eleven ton seventy five foot Norway
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: spruce tree donated by the Russ family. It was planted
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: more than sixty years ago. This is good because the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: last tree came from Massachusetts. So this is a New
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: York tree. Why don't they just get a fake tree.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Why don't they get just a big You could have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: one made, a seventy five foot fake tree. You put
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it in storage. Every year, you bring it out again.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's got to be cheaper than a truck cutting down
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this thing and bringing this tree one hundred and thirty miles.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And isn't this bad environmentally? You're cutting down these trees.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Here's a sixty year old tree. Cutting it down. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: guess for the family, they don't mind. It screws up
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: their farm, but you can always say that was our tree.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And Rockefeller Center so it'll be here pretty soon. That's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: when you know summer is really really over. Hey, Amazon
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: laying off thirty thousand people. Now everybody says there's this
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: big AI employment meltdown coming that a lot of people
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: will get laid off due to this new technology AI.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: You know, usually when it's new technology, it's blue collar
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: jobs that are lost. This is a whole different scenario.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: These are white collar jobs that will be lost. If
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you look at these thirty thousand Amazon people being laid off,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's all corporate. It's not the warehouse, not that stuff,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: although that could be coming. But thirty thousand corporate jobs,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know, accounting hr all, this sort of thirty and jobs.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of jobs. And then because of AI
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: technology can do a lot of this stuff. A lot
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of companies that have a hiring freeze. JP Morgan other
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: companies said it's a hiring freeze and it's just starting,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's just heating up. The AI stuff will put millions
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and millions. Some estimates up to one hundred million people
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: could be put out of work by AI. Hey. Speaking
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, new report comes out showing a well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it's no surprise, you know, he was a vegetable, a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: zombie for years in the White House. Didn't know where
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he was or what he was doing. But a new
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: report has a lot of details about what they had
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to do with this guy. If he had to appear,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and remember he barely appeared maybe once every couple weeks
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you'd see him for five minutes at some little ceremony,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: but apparently had to use a lot of makeup on him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: They had to very strategically place everything so he didn't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have to take too many steps. In other words, if
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you're going to do a meeting, they had a room,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and they put the place the podium, right near the door,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: so he had to take five steps instead of a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: walk across the room. Even for the most simple little things,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just a little thing where he's going to greet somebody
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and say a couple of words. A teleprompter had to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be used, note cards. All that stuff looks pretty bad.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And they're now in this report saying that all those
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: last pardons were definitely auto pen and if the president
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: didn't actually sign the part and I it was an autopen.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: A lot of people think they can be legally canceled.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: The pardon could actually be canceled, so that could get
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Now President Trump is in Southeast Asia. He's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: been Japan, there's Korea, there's China, there's Malaysia. It's a big,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: long trip. And you ever fly to Japan or Malaysia,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it's you're on a plane for like eighteen hours. It's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: quite a flight. It's a grueling flight, and it's the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: long trip and the time difference. It's not two hours,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's like nineteen hours. It's like an incredible disruption of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: your circadian rhythm body clock. So Trump was seen and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in the Japan ceremony, he had to walk the red carpet.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And on fake news they're going crazy saying clearly there's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: something wrong with him, trying to make him look like
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Like look at his gate, look at the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: way he's walking. He seems to be walking a little
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: slower than usual. But if you just spent eighteen hours
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: flying to Japan, you're in three countries and one day
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you're going to walk a little slow. He just looks tired.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: He's fine, He's fine. Don't fall for any of this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: fake news stuff. Speaking of fake news, John Stewart last
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: night has Mom Donnie on zoron Mom Donnie, Stuart trying
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to give him a helping hand, puts Mom Donnie on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Daily Show. So you know where Stuart stands on
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all of this. Mom Donnie of course, huffing and puffing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: about everything.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I think it makes the most sense in the wealthiest city,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in the wealthiest country in the history of the world,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that we actually ensure we have the funding necessary to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: make it a place that New Yorker's can afford. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to working with Governor Hokle.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, the Mom Donnie team, who would he
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: put in city Hall? Who's going to be well, it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: so far in the campaign, it's the it's the Bill
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: de Blasio team. Bill Deblasio's people have been running things
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for Mom Donni, so people think when he takes office
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it'll be a lot of the Deblasio people coming back.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Things were pretty bad under Deblasio, who was mayor for
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: eight years. Now, if there's an affordability crisis, you can
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: certainly blame Bill de Blasio for not fixing it. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it looks like the same people, and again it'll be
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a lot like Deblasio. Typical of these socialist Marxist candidates.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: All talk, never actually get anything done. Nobody's ever actually
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: helped from it except themselves. Here's more of Mom Donnie.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: So I will continue to make the case as to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: why I think we need to increase taxes on the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: top one percent by two percent. Why we need to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: raise the state's top corporate tax rate to match that
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: out of New Jersey. And then doing so, this would
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: raise nine billion dollars, and that more than pays for
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: our economic agenda and starts to actually trump proof our city.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Well that sounds good on paper, it doesn't actually work.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: First of all, he has no power to tax the rich.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That's the legislature. He has no power to do that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: If you tax the one percent. First of all, the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: top one percent pays forty eight percent of the taxes.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: The top one percent now pays half the tax in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: New York. So let's say you decided to increase the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: taxes on that top one percent, let's say ten percent
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of them leave. Well, you just lost about five percent
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of your revenue right there. Let's say twenty percent leave.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You just lost ten percent of your revenue. So it
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. The rich can move wherever the hell they want.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They can also choose how they receive their income. They
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: can go tax free, they can move, they can do
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: whatever they want. And that's why you have a lot
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of people in New York. You see a lot of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: billionaires here in the years. Well they didn't leave. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: actually they did. It's no longer their residence. Their residence
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is now Florida or Texas or somewhere else. It just
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: means they can only be in New York whatever. It
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is one hundred and seventy five days a year. So
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they watched the calendar. So there's a lot of these
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: wealthy zillionaire and these hedge fund guys who don't actually
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: even live here anymore, even though you think they do.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: They just switch their residence. Hey, the shutdown continues, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Trump wanted to pay the military. He didn't want them
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to go without a paycheck, so he found a wealthy
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: donor to pay the military. It's one hundred and seventy
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: million for the month. That's how much they get paid. So,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, he found a donor who donated
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the money. And there's a way to do it perfectly legal.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The Pentagon has a fund that you can put money into.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Is sort of a gift and once it's in the Pentagon,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: they can use it for whatever purpose they want. So
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that's what happened, and he wanted this guy was such
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a nice guy by paying the military salary one hundred
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and seventy million for a month that he didn't want
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: any credit. He wanted it donate it anonymously. It was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: just a gift. Didn't want to take any credit, so
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he did it anonymously. And of course leave it up
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to fake news New York Times all these things to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: go crazy trying to figure out who it is. Some
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: thought it would be Elon Musk. You know, anybody's just
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: got an extra one hundred and seventy million his pocket
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: changing can donate that. That's like an Elon Musk at
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Jeff besos Well. It turned out they found out it
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was Timothy Mellon of the banking family, the Mellon family,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: whose family's worth about fourteen billion, so they can easily
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: part with one hundred and seventy million. But they printed
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: his name all over the place. Now, one reason he
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: might now a he's not a guy looking for any credit.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You know, when you make a charitable contribution, or you
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: do something for somebody or donate, you should never tell anybody,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: should never take credit for it. It's the old George
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Steinbrenner rule. If anybody knows about it besides you and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the person you did it for then you did it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons. They didn't want any credit. But
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: also he probably didn't want to get attacked by these
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: crazy Trump haters by the Trump derangement syndrome. No King's crowd.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need them outside his house, picketing outside their business.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That's probably the other reason. So, hey, look at Kelsey Grammar,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Frasier Kelsey Grammar having a child, another kid, his eighth child.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: He's seventy years old. Now this gets a little complicated.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Seventy years old and he's having a baby. His eighth
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: child is seventy. So let's say the kid's fifteen and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: wants to play catch with you. You'd be eighty five.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You'd be eighty eight. When the kid enters college, you'd
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: be well, you'd be ninety two when he graduates. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: don't know. The math doesn't quite work on this. Hey,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the election coming up. The Dean himself,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the best campaign director of all ed Rollins, will talk
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to him a little later about the campaign. Now, the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: problem is Mamdanni has a total lead in every pole. Now,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: these are not the greatest poles. These are these junkie
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: college polls and media polls. But they clearly show Mamdani winning.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of the big, big, big donors who always
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: screw up every race, always get it wrong, pushing Cuomo
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: like crazy. The problem with Cuomo, you know, he was
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: really bad as governor. He did every far left woke,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: kooky thing you could do. You know, took away bail,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: no bail, no jail. He closed the prisons, he let
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: everybody out, he closed Indian Point. You could go on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and on all this crazy left wing stuff. If you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: bring this up to anybody, they'll always excuse it. They'll say, well,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I mean he was just catering the left. Yeah, well
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: back then he was catering to the left. Okay, that's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: what he does. He caters to the left. It's going
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to be worse this time because it's a much This
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: whole cater to the left stuff is worse today than
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: back then because the far far left AOC mom Donni
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: wing of the party has complete control. So if you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: get into office, they're going to really come after you,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and he's going to cave to them again. Now, Hakim
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Jeffries did not want to endorse mom Donni, but these
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: far left people in the party that run things told
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: him will primary you if you don't endorse mam Donni,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: which terrified him, so he quickly endorsed mom Donni. That's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: why they got Schumer as a hostage. They've told him
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: they'll primary him right out of the race. So when
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Cuomo's in off, he's got to assume he's going to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: want to get re elected, and they'll tell him we're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: going to primary you if you don't do this kind
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of stuff. So the same thing happened when he was governor.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So he did all this kooky far left, crazy left
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: wing kind of stuff that caused the crime wave that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: caused most of our problems today. So that's the problem
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: if you get Cuomo in office. He always caves to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: those people. Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
