  Speaker 1: Much more Mark. Mark Simone. Now 9 till noon weekdays.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: On 710WOR. Hey, so the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded today.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Now this Nobel Prize is one of the silliest. It
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: would be a good thing if it were legitimate, but
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it's the most biased left-wing nonsense in the world. You
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: remember Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize. The day
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: he got elected, he hadn't even started yet. He hadn't
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: even done anything. It wasn't even possible for him to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: do anything. He just got elected. He hadn't taken office.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He's a Democrat. Now, President Trump loves tooting his own horn.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And there he was earlier this week saying, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I settled seven wars. I got all the hostages back.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: What more do you have to do to get a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Nobel Prize? Well, you got to not be a Republican.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You have to not be a conservative. They should just
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: call it the Democratic Peace Prize. And what they yet
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: like to do, Trump makes a good case there. He
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: has settled a bunch of wars. He did get all
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the hostages released. He did free a couple of countries
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from evil dictators, so normally that would get you a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Nobel Peace, but no, no, no. So they awarded it today,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like they usually do in these cases, to an absolutely
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: useless person who's done absolutely nothing concrete about anything. She
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: looks like a very nice woman, but The winner of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize is the UN Human Rights Chief,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Navi Pillay. She's a judge on the International Court of Justice. Ooh,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the International Court of Justice. Now, that's one of those fake,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: made-up courts that has no authority, no power. It doesn't
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: actually do anything. She's South African-born. She's 85 years old.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: She's recognized for her efforts to promote peace. Well, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: will give her credit for that. She has done everything
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: she can to promote peace. And unfortunately, there's nothing she
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: can do about it. And she's never actually gotten anything done.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But the Nobel Committee says her work is a source
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of hope and inspiration to all those who seek to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: bring out a more peaceful world. But again, she's never
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: actually accomplished anything. Not that she hasn't tried. She just
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: has no power to do anything. except write some poems
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and make a speech at the U.N. Outside of that,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: she's never actually gotten any peace anywhere, but she's the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize winner. Anyway, let's take some calls. Let's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go to Sal in Yonkers. Sal, how are you doing?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Why can't Bruce Blakeman force News 1 to simulcast the
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: debate on all the News 12s throughout New York State.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Well, because nobody sees the News 12s either. Nobody sees those.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: The total of New York One plus News 12 comes
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to about 42 viewers. That's it. Nobody sees them. That's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the answer. Now, what he should do, he'll be with
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: us later in the show. I mean, I don't know.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do. I guess he already has.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You demand that you do a debate on a real
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: TV station. You know... They've both been approached by Channel 2,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Channel 4, Channel 7 to do debates. Hochul has turned
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: them all down, refuses to do it. This is with
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: all the Democrats, Letitia James and the rest. They'll only
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: do New York 1 because nobody sees it. And it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: very biased, very left-wing. That's the only place Democrats will debate.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis, how are
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I'm well, Mark. Good morning to you. So Obama is
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: going into campaign for Abdul El-Sayed. My comment is, I
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: guess it just tells you all you need to know
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: about Obama and where his loyalties lie.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Well, it's to Democrats, and he loves the radical Democrats.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It's kind of an insult to El-Sayed. Normally,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Obama would just come and do a rally with you.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He'd get up there. He's a great talker, that Obama.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He'd get up there with Al-Sayed, endorse him, make a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: big pitch. But apparently Obama knows this Al-Sayed is a dirty,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: creepy guy. So he's asked the other candidates to come,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the candidate for governor, the candidate for Congress, all the other,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: he wants all the other candidates there. And he's bringing
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: some other Democrats to be with him. So it'll be
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: like a group thing. It'll not look like it's him
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and Al-Sayed together. So he's trying to distance himself, even
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in the rally where he's supposed to be supporting Al-Sayed.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Even there, he's trying to give himself cover 12 different
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: ways for being anywhere near Al-Sayed. Let's go to Mike
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I always appreciate the foul, the faux indignation by guys
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like Mondani as he's talking about the shooting incident.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I think that was real. I think that he was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: really in a rage. You know, when you come and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: kill one of our criminals. that's his thing, defending these criminals.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: You come and go after one of our criminals, he
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: can go into a rage.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you're right. The phone part I'm talking about is
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: how he's outraged that they were in plain clothes and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: they put him in an unlocked car. Well, his security
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: detail is in plain clothes. And the police.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Department, the NYPD... He has a slight point. The ICE
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: agents apparently were wearing construction worker kind of clothes, so
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they look like construction workers.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Undercover.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, but the NYPD undercover detail that protects Mamdani, Helen
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Keller could tell those are cops. They pull up in
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: these black SUVs. They've got 47 antennas on top. They've
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: got the cop suits. They've got the earphones. You could
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: tell they're cops from a mile away. There's no doubt.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: That's true. I just find it interesting that ICE can
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: do nothing right. By the way, I could argue that
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: this guy was still on the street because of guys
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: like Mondani and Hochul's crime, the way they treat criminals.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: The guy was a cop to grand theft, and he
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was out on five years probation. So he should have
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: been in jail, and he should have been on the street,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and he wouldn't have gotten shot, and so on and
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: so forth.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, also, if Mamdani and Hochul and the rest would
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE, this is what Blakeman does in Long Island.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: He sends his local police with them. They know the streets.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: They know what's going on. And they make sure that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: things go in an orderly way. So Blakeman will be
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: here later. We'll ask him.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, where are you in Florida? Are you on the north?
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: No, I'm on the east coast, just above Florida. Palm Beach,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: 40 minutes north of Palm Beach. So I'm not getting
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: any of that hurricane, thankfully.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Let's hope not, but you might get something later this year.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: What do you people do down there when these hurricanes
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: keep coming?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I personally cower and talk about driving north.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I know, but you all say, every one of you,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you say, well, I'm not going to live up there.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I can't deal with the snow. That's like two weeks
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a year. You don't mind the hurricanes? I'd rather have snow.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I hate the hurricanes. I hate the hurricanes, and I'd
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: rather have the snow. I just can't afford $ 6, 000 a
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: month of rent. That's the problem. All right, but.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's getting more and more expensive down there. You know
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: why it's $ 6, 000? You know why it's so expensive to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: rent a place in New York? Because everybody wants to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: be here. Everybody's coming here.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And it's always been expensive. As I said before, when
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I first moved in 40-some odd years ago, my $ 350
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a month studio was expensive. Yeah. I get it. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: by the way, everything else down here is the same
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: price as it is in New York. Food, gas, it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: just cheaper to own a home.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And no tax. Good call as always, Mike. Thanks for calling.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: One more.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Hal in Freeport. Hal, how are you doing?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, how are you doing? Don't waste bullets on this guy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Just throw him in the pool with piranhas. The Washington pool.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And don't throw him on with his clothes on.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, throw him in the pool of piranhas. I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: like this. This is the Largo, the villain in Thunderball.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: This is his approach. Remember, he threw Bond in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: pool with the sharks.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: But don't throw him in naked. Nobody wants to see
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: his unit.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, calm down, calm down. You're getting a little perverted.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: First of all, a bullet is 25 cents. You know
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: how much it costs to have a pool, to maintain it,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to have piranhas? You've got to take care of them.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You've got to feed them. The pool is already there.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: The pool's there. It's not as easy as you think.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You've been watching too many Bond movies. Thanks for calling.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Remember that movie, Thunderball? And the guy had the pool,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: beautiful swimming pool on his estate, but it had these
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: things that would open up and sharks would come out
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and eat you.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Remember?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Didn't he throw Bond in there at one point?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But again, that's a movie. You can't do that in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: real life. Listen, it was a terrible shooting. Mamdani, had
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he cooperated with ICE, had he put local cops with them,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: things would have gone in a much smoother way. Now,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the DHS is confirming, absolutely confirming, that there was body
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: camera footage of this. Now, they haven't released it yet. Now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it's a little suspicious, but we'll see. If they released
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the body camera footage, and it's as the officer said,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that the guy tried to run them over, he tried
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to ram them with his car, It then becomes a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: totally justified shooting. In any law enforcement agency in America,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if you're standing there and he's going to try to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: run you over and kill you, you are justified in
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: stopping him. So we'll see. We'll probably hear about that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: later today. We'll keep covering it all morning. We've got
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: lots to get to today. Mark Simone here, 9 to noon.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Three hours now. 9 to noon every day. And then
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: at noon, Buck and Clay with a really good show
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: for you. And then the most listened to radio show
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in all of America, Sean Hannity at 3. You've got
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly at 6. The very funny Jimmy Fallon. 9
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to midnight. All that's here on 710WOR.
