  Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, it's Wednesday. It's six days until the election.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Is it six? Yeah. Six days until the election. In Israel,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the election took place yesterday. Still don't have a result,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: but hang on one second. This is a text from...
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: The Netanyahu people, let me see here. They've got 78%
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: of the vote counted. And they've got the Netanyahu party,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the Likud, at 27. The Yashari at 22. Together at 12.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So Netanyahu is in the lead at this point. 78%
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of the vote counted. Still too soon to call. This
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: could be like California. When I say the election is
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: six days from now, you won't get the California results
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: or several states won't give you the results for days.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But it looks a little better for Netanyahu. But we'll
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: have to wait and see. We may have a result
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: for you later today. Hey, we've got a lot to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: get to. We'll get to this congestion pricing is going
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to become a nightmare. And there's more coming along those lines.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But we'll get to that. President Trump keeping up a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: brutal schedule, just crisscrossing the country, campaigning all over the place.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Every afternoon, he jumps on Air Force One, heads out
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to another state. Yesterday, it was Texas, a couple of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: stops in Texas. He gets back to the White House
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: about midnight. And then when he gets back to the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: White House, he does what they call a gaggle, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: is a spontaneous press conference. He stops and does a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: little mini press conference. That goes till about 1 o'clock.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So he does this every night. He gets home about
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: 1 a.m. into the residence and is up 6 a.m.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: working by 7, yelling and screaming at people, calling people,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: watching everything, texting people like crazy. But it's a brutal schedule.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yesterday in Texas, now this is a good idea. Remember,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Texas is a border state. With all the problems we
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: have with the illegals pouring in and the crime and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the drugs and It's much worse in Texas where they're
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: right on the border. He wants to propose legislation. If
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: he gets Congress, pass a bill that the border can never,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: ever be opened again.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: We will pass the no invasion of our country act,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants again.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It's never going to happen to you again. Texas, it
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: will never happen to you again what happened to you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: That was an invasion of our country.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: That was a military invasion. It's a great idea. Democrats
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: could take power one day and just undo that bill,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff that they do. Anyway, when he landed,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: talking about a lot of stuff, James Comey, more indictments.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: This time I think they really got him because this
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: story's been around for a while, how he had a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: friend in New York, I think it was a professor
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: at Columbia, who he would leak stuff to. And then
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that guy would leak it to the New York Times.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And the story was that then Comey could say, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: never talked to the New York Times. I had nothing
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to do with the New York Times. But they seem
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to have gotten what they think is a lot of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: evidence proving the case. So in that gaggle yesterday, Trump
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: asked about Comey.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I think he's a dirty cop, James Comey, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I know nothing about it. He's a dirty cop, but
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I know nothing about what's going on.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure he knows something about it, but... You know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: they always give you this, the Justice Department is supposed
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to be totally independent. No, it's not. It's absolutely not
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: supposed to be totally independent. There's a reason they put
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it in the executive branch. And the president is in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: total control of the Justice Department. The Justice Department is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: directed by the president of the United States, as is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: all the cabinet departments. It's not totally independent. It's never
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: supposed to be. Totally independent. Hey, you got this congestion pricing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It is driving people crazy. This congestion pricing. You know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: they always talk about diesel prices or gas prices. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that can affect a lot of things because everything in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: every store, everything you buy in every store, grocery store,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: drug store, everything is delivered by truck. And if the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: trucks run on diesel fuel, if diesel fuel costs go up,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: They got to pass that along. So it raises the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: cost of every item. But the same exact thing happens
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: with congestion pricing. Every delivery into every store comes by truck.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: If you have congestion pricing on trucks is huge. You know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: store owners are telling me there are vendors now that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: are in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, don't want to come
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: into Manhattan. They don't want to pay the congestion pricing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's a big problem. Huge problem. And Bruce Blakeman on
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the campaign trail has pointed out that the Hochul plan
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: is if, God forbid, she wins re-election, congestion pricing will spread.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Right now it's in Manhattan, but it'll be coming to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn and to Queens and to all sorts of places.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: We had a lot of listeners all over New York State.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It'll be coming to Albany. It'll be coming to Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It will spend Spread. Blakeman says that if he's elected,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the next day congestion pricing will be gone.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: She's collecting $ 9 per car just for the privilege of
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: driving on this public road that the taxpayers have already
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: paid for. It's nothing more than a tax on the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: middle class.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It is a ridiculous tax. $ 9 a car. Now, to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: get here, if you're coming from New Jersey or you're
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: coming from Westchester, You got to pay a 10, 12,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: $ 15 toll just to get in here. Then it's another $ 9.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: If you want to actually drive on the street here,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. You know, if you get in
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: your car, you have any taxes you've already paid, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: any taxes you're paying, you paid a tax on your
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: car and your gas. You want to park in a garage.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You're paying a parking tax. You're paying taxes left and right.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Now on top of that, a driving tax, it's absolutely idiotic. Uh,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It supposedly is to fund the MTA. The MTA budget
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: should be slashed in half. It's double, triple what it
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: should be. It's all waste and fraud and bloat. Listen
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to Hochul.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He must like a lot of traffic, higher accidents, slower
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: response time, less money to fund the MTA and Long
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Island Railroad, and not really care about congestion.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: If you were worried about the MTA, you wouldn't let
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: him waste 80% of their budget. Less traffic? Look out
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the window. You see any less traffic out there? Traffic
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: has not changed one bit. I know they'll give you
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: some study about something. Just look out the window. Traffic
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: has not changed one bit. Come into Manhattan, try to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: drive from 57th East to West or West to East.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Try to drive down Park Avenue in Midtown. It hasn't
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: changed one bit. It's absolutely ridiculous. Now, I've got some
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: really bad news if you're a driver. It's going to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: get worse. Mamdani and the city council are plotting to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: take over the streets, take them away from cars. They
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: want to make them what they're calling it low traffic zones.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: They want to get the cars off of a lot
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of streets. Now, how would they do that? Well, they're
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: going to expand the sidewalks out. So you'll lose lanes.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It's an absolutely ridiculous idea. There's already a plan for
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Park Avenue. You've seen the go online. You can see
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the drawings. It reduces Park Avenue to like one lane
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: each direction, which is insane. It's already gridlocked. It's already gridlocked.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Then they want to put in speed bumps everywhere. Speed bumps,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: which is the most annoying thing in the world out
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in the suburbs or somewhere. There's one on 56th Street already,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: but speed bumps everywhere. And they're going to do all
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: sorts of stuff like that to just make them, now
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: they're claiming, If you live in the neighborhood or if
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you have a store that you'll still be able to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: have a car come right to your door, but other
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: cars won't use it as a, as a way to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: pass through your neighborhood. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. The
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: city council is in on this. Mom Donnie is in
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: on this. This is going to be a nightmare if
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it happens. That's one reason you got to get to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: get rid of these people. Now, the other thing is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: if you think it's a problem as far as affordability
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and If you think crimes, you know, for Democrats to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: campaign on affordability in New York is unbelievable. The Democrats
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: have controlled every inch of New York for 15 years.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Democrat mayor, Democrat city council, Democrat governor, Democrat legislature, all
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the district attorneys, everything is run by Democrats. So this
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis, it's all on them. It's absolutely their fault.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: If there's a crime problem, it's absolutely their fault. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you got to change parties. You got to get rid
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of them. You see this FBI agent broke down and cried.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: She's one of two FBI agents that are now going
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to be indicted for lying to Congress about the Hunter
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Biden laptop. This is during the Comey-Christopher. Wray era of
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: total dirty cops and bad sleazy stuff going on at
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the FBI covering up that Hunter Biden laptop. It was
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: clearly the Hunter Biden laptop. You can see in store
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: on the surveillance video, you can see Hunter Biden bring
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in the laptop, bring it to the guy, hand it
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to him, have it repaired, signs a receipt. He signed it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: It's his laptop. There's no doubt about it. Then the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: FBI and Biden go into all sorts of contortions, try
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to convince you it's not, it's a fake, it's Russian disinformation.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: You remember in the debate, Biden produced a letter signed
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: by 51 former CIA intelligence. It's definitely Russian intelligence. It's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous. It's Hunter Biden's laptop. We know that for
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: a fact. And it turns out that way back when
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the FBI had the hard drive, they had everything. They
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: absolutely knew it was Hunter Biden's laptop, still engaged in
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: this cover-up. So these two agents testifying before Congress when
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: there were hearings and lied. They said, well, we never
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: heard anything about it. We heard it was disinformation. Otherwise,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: we had no conversation about it. We hadn't We didn't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: know anything about that. Well, then they get their texts
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and all their communications. They found out they knew everything
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: about it. They were talking about it. They were in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: on this cover. So they've indicted these two for lying
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to Congress. And then the woman, one of them, broke
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: down and cried at the courthouse yesterday. Now, the reason
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: she's crying is it looks like they got her, absolutely
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: got her. And she's facing five years in jail as
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a result. I mean, the lying is pretty blatant, pretty obvious.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Looks like they got the evidence, so it's not good. Hey,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: speaking of Israel, the latest is Netanyahu looks like he's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: pulling in front just a bit. Hochul, Kathy Hochul, said
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: her job would be a lot easier if Netanyahu loses.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. Why would it be
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a lot easier? The opponent, the difference is Netanyahu wants
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to go into Iran and finish it off The opponent
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: thinks you got to put economic pressure on Iran. He
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't believe regime change would ever be possible. So he's
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: against that. But when it comes to Gaza, Hamas and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: their Holocaust that they tried on the Israeli people, both
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu and his opponent are in total agreement. In fact,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the opponent was head of the Israeli Defense Forces. So
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: they're both for protection of Israel against Hamas and all
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: of that. But Hochul, Hochul said she would be happy
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: if Netanyahu loses. She says, I went to Israel right
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: after October 7th. I saw a lot of pain there.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: But I cautioned the government there in private conversations not
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: to overreach. Can you imagine this? These Israeli leaders have
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: been living this nightmare over there for 50 years. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: you got this Yenta from Buffalo lecturing them. The world
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: is with you when it comes to the brutal assault
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: by a terrorist organization known as Hamas. An overreach could
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: change that dynamic. And that's what happened. Now, how could
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you have an overreach if somebody launches a Holocaust against you?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: If they start raping women, slashing the throats of babies,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and this is all on video, you can see them
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: doing it. There really is no overreach. Can you imagine
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: her cautioning us in World War II? not to overreach
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: when it comes to Hitler and the Nazis, what's, what
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: could be an overreach when it comes to a Hitler
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and the Nazis? I mean, we had did what we're at,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: whatever we had to do. We fire bombed entire cities
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: like Dresden, whatever we had to do to win. You
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: got to stop that stuff, but that's Hochul. If you
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: live on long Island, Ohika castle, it's a landmark. It's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: one of the great Gatsby sort of mansions. It's a,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a venue for a million big parties and events. Actually,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: it's Halloween Saturday. They always have that big Halloween party.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: It's still on as far as I know. But it
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: has fallen into hard times. The owner, that little guy, Gary,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: what's his name? Melius, Gary Melius, bankruptcy, owes whatever he owes,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: $ 60 million. Anyway, it went up for auction yesterday. Two
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: guys bought it, two big real estate guys, one from
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Long Island, one from Westchester. Oheka Castle was sold for
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: something like $ 72 million. I don't know what they're going
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to do. They said they'll keep it open. A lot
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: of stuff has happened in Oheka Castle. Why? That's where
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Anthony Weiner got married. Bill Clinton performed the ceremony. You
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: want to curse your marriage, have Bill Clinton do the ceremony.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton doing a wedding. Can you imagine that? And
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the sourpuss Hillary Clinton staring at you as you get married. Anyway,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Oheka Castle's got huge grounds, golf course, everything, hotel, restaurants.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know what these guys are going to do
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: with it, but you could do a lot with this
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: place and make it a hotel. There were a few bidders,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I think five bidders. One of them was just a
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: private guy who wanted to make it into his house,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: but not willing to go crazy with the bidding. Anyway,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to this morning, lots
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: to cover. We'll keep you up to date on the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Israeli elections. I don't know if we'll get results today.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Very slow process. They're almost as bad as California. We'll
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: get to the latest from the left, the latest crazy
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Trump attacks and more. Coming up, it's Mark Simone here.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Three hours every day now. Nine to noon every day.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Nine to noon here on 710WOR.
