0:00
Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now.
0:08
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Thursday. That's good. That's good. That's almost Friday.
0:11
Speaker 2: We're almost there. A lot to get to today. Yankees
0:15
Speaker 2: out of it. We'll get to Crazy Mayor Mamdani. Tried
0:18
Speaker 2: to play both ends there and it blew up in
0:21
Speaker 2: his face. We'll get to President Trump. More rallies. We'll
0:25
Speaker 2: get to the Nobel Prize. We'll get to Dirty, dirty
0:29
Speaker 2: Jack Smith. It looks like the surveillance that he did
0:32
Speaker 2: on the Trump campaign was much more expensive, extensive than
0:38
Speaker 2: anybody knew. We'll get to Cornell. We'll get to Krista Pike.
0:42
Speaker 2: Lots to talk about today. So yesterday, Mayor Mamdani, it
0:48
Speaker 2: was the third anniversary of October 7th. The horrific terrorist
0:52
Speaker 2: Holocaust launched against Israel. that they were forced to defend
0:56
Speaker 2: themselves against. Now, Mayor Mamdani, on that anniversary, thought he
1:03
Speaker 2: could play both sides. And, of course, he hates Israel.
1:08
Speaker 2: He's an anti-Semite right through and through. Hates Israel. Hates Jews.
1:13
Speaker 2: That's pretty obvious. It's mostly the same thing. You can't
1:17
Speaker 2: want to get rid of Israel and not say you
1:20
Speaker 2: hate Jews. They try to separate the two things. Well,
1:22
Speaker 2: I'm not anti-Semitic. I'm anti-Semitic. Israel, well, any time you
1:27
Speaker 2: tell any ethnic group you can't have a homeland, you
1:31
Speaker 2: can't have a country, you're anti-Semitic. That's anti-Semitic. So for
1:36
Speaker 2: the anniversary of October 7th, he decided he would attend
1:41
Speaker 2: that vigil for people that were killed on October 7th
1:46
Speaker 2: in the massacre against Israel. But to cover himself, he
1:50
Speaker 2: writes the dirtiest anti-Semitic, anti-Israel nonsense and posted online. The
1:58
Speaker 2: suffering did not begin on that day. I didn't want
2:01
Speaker 2: to read this. It goes on and on about Israel's
2:04
Speaker 2: devastating ongoing genocide in Gaza that was going on before October.
2:09
Speaker 2: So it just goes on and on with this anti-Semitism.
2:12
Speaker 2: The suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on
2:16
Speaker 2: ambulances waiting outside hospitals. None of this is true, by
2:20
Speaker 2: the way. Israel has never tried to bomb an ambulance
2:24
Speaker 2: outside of a hospital drone strikes, targeting residential buildings or journalists.
2:29
Speaker 2: Israel never did this. It's just creepy nonsense. Three years later,
2:33
Speaker 2: we must refuse to accept the world in which occupation
2:37
Speaker 2: and apartheid continue. Uh, war crimes are met with him.
2:41
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna read the rest of it. It's
2:43
Speaker 2: just ugly stuff. So, uh, I don't know how to
2:47
Speaker 2: explain this guy to you. He's a, he's smart, but
2:51
Speaker 2: he's not that bright. He's not super smart. I mean,
2:53
Speaker 2: I've talked to him enough to know that he's, he
2:55
Speaker 2: gets what you're saying, but he's, uh, he's not super smart.
2:59
Speaker 2: He's not one of those guys that looks at you
3:00
Speaker 2: and he could tell, he could read between the lines. He,
3:03
Speaker 2: he can see everything you're really up to. He's not
3:06
Speaker 2: one of those guys. So he tried to play both sides.
3:09
Speaker 2: It backfired. The, uh, the, the Jews that were out
3:13
Speaker 2: last night booed him like crazy for writing this anti-Semitic nonsense,
3:19
Speaker 2: especially on the anniversary of October 7th. And then the
3:22
Speaker 2: anti-Semites that were protesting booed him just as much for
3:27
Speaker 2: attending the vigil. So both sides hate him now. So
3:31
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's going to do. He's basically
3:36
Speaker 2: as deep as his anti-Semitism is, I think even deeper
3:40
Speaker 2: is his political ambition to succeed. So He's tried to
3:45
Speaker 2: walk this tightrope with both sides, and he fell off
3:48
Speaker 2: it last night and got booed by both sides. I
3:50
Speaker 2: don't know what he's going to do now. He's got
3:52
Speaker 2: to pick a direction. He realizes, and a lot of
3:55
Speaker 2: people learn that, you can't play to both sides of
3:58
Speaker 2: the aisle. It doesn't work. You end up with nobody
4:02
Speaker 2: supporting you. So he's going to have to lean more
4:06
Speaker 2: to one side. Now, we'll see what he decides. But
4:11
Speaker 2: it was just ugly what he did yesterday. Ugly. Really ugly. Now,
4:16
Speaker 2: it's interesting. They asked the two candidates to comment on
4:19
Speaker 2: the ugly, anti-Semitic, horrible, anti-Semitic nonsense Mamdani posted. Listen to Hochul.
4:27
Speaker 2: Try not to say anything bad about him.
4:29
Speaker 3: I think.
4:32
Speaker 1: That day.
4:34
Speaker 4: Speaks for itself.
4:37
Speaker 3: In the aftermath, we called for there to be a
4:40
Speaker 3: more humanitarian response to get aid to those In Gaza.
4:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see this is the terrified, cowardly, cowering Kathy Hochul,
4:50
Speaker 2: who's so afraid that she's going to lose this election,
4:52
Speaker 2: afraid to say anything specific about Mom Donnie. So she
4:56
Speaker 2: dances around it. Listen to the difference. Listen to Bruce Blakeman.
4:59
Speaker 5: I thought his remarks were unconscionable, not becoming of the
5:03
Speaker 5: mayor of the city of New York.
5:05
Speaker 2: See, that's what you're supposed to say. That's what you're
5:08
Speaker 2: supposed to say. But Hochul is in real trouble. The polls,
5:12
Speaker 2: I know you see these public polls where she's 12
5:14
Speaker 2: points ahead. Those are the fake public polls. The real
5:17
Speaker 2: polls have it even right now. Totally deadlocked, both within
5:21
Speaker 2: the margin of error. That's why she went into panic
5:24
Speaker 2: mode and launched millions and millions and millions of dollars
5:30
Speaker 2: in attack ads on Bruce Blakeman. You know, whenever you
5:33
Speaker 2: turn on a news program or Good Day New York
5:36
Speaker 2: or you're watching TV, you get bumped with these attack
5:40
Speaker 2: ads against Bruce Blakeman. Well, that should make you happy
5:43
Speaker 2: because she wouldn't be running those if she wasn't in trouble.
5:46
Speaker 2: That's a sign of panic. Now, publicly, she'll deny it.
5:49
Speaker 2: She'll say the polls look great.
5:51
Speaker 3: Listen, in a purple state, you know, being ahead by
5:55
Speaker 3: half a point or 1% is concerning. Double digits mean something.
6:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's double digits in the fake polls, the
6:04
Speaker 2: college polls where the metrics are all wrong. They don't
6:07
Speaker 2: use likely voters. They use a very biased group. Bruce
6:14
Speaker 2: Blakeman has seen the real polls, and they're neck and neck.
6:18
Speaker 2: They're both within the margin of error.
6:20
Speaker 5: Another Democrat each and every day comes up to me
6:22
Speaker 5: and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted
6:26
Speaker 5: Republican in my life. We're voting for you this year.
6:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, now all over the country, midterms, New York, There
6:35
Speaker 2: is something going on that's pretty interesting. It's looking a
6:39
Speaker 2: little better for Republicans than you would think. Even CNN's pollster,
6:45
Speaker 2: even Harry Enten, the CNN pollster, is saying Republicans are
6:49
Speaker 2: slowly but surely getting the advantage in all these elections
6:52
Speaker 2: for one reason. It's pretty even, and it's going to
6:57
Speaker 2: be an election determined by turnout. This will be what
7:01
Speaker 2: they call a turnout election. If Democrats turn out in
7:04
Speaker 2: great numbers, they'll win. If Republicans turn out in great numbers,
7:07
Speaker 2: they'll win. And right now it's looking like Republicans have
7:12
Speaker 2: more momentum. In fact, the CNN pollster reporting that he's
7:16
Speaker 2: looked through the metrics. The one key metric, very important,
7:20
Speaker 2: is Republicans are winning in voter registration. There are more
7:26
Speaker 2: Republicans showing up to register and vote than Democrats right now, uh,
7:32
Speaker 2: Enten said Republicans have increased their lead on Democrats in Arizona, Nevada,
7:37
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Pennsylvania by four to eight points. Now, this
7:41
Speaker 2: is the CNN pollster saying this. And as he says,
7:45
Speaker 2: when you take a look at how people are registering,
7:47
Speaker 2: this is not polling data. This is actual registering. Republicans
7:51
Speaker 2: right now are doing considerably better than Democrats in swing states.
7:55
Speaker 2: So this is a big deal. And even the CNN
8:00
Speaker 2: pollster saying, Republicans right now in a better position because
8:06
Speaker 2: of the registration. We'll talk about this later, too. Democrats
8:11
Speaker 2: may have really misread the electorate. They've been really playing
8:15
Speaker 2: up these ICE raids, not realizing that to most people,
8:19
Speaker 2: they like ICE raids. They like criminals being arrested and
8:23
Speaker 2: taken off the streets. You know, they brag about the
8:27
Speaker 2: crime numbers going down, the numbers. crime numbers better than
8:30
Speaker 2: ever in new york and washington and chicago but nobody
8:34
Speaker 2: points out one of the main reasons for that is
8:36
Speaker 2: so many criminals have been taken off the street not
8:39
Speaker 2: by the locals not by the da not by our
8:43
Speaker 2: prosecutors but by ice they've you know every time they
8:45
Speaker 2: come into new york and take a four or five
8:47
Speaker 2: thousand criminals off the street your crime rate is going
8:50
Speaker 2: to go down that's why you're seeing it all over
8:52
Speaker 2: the country they're locking up criminals everywhere so uh the
8:58
Speaker 2: uh the Botched execution. Krista Pike. She survived it. You
9:04
Speaker 2: might've seen this big headline. Krista Pike survives two lethal injections.
9:08
Speaker 2: She's in the hospital. She finally wakes up. And the
9:11
Speaker 2: headline was her amazing first words. Well, now you can't,
9:17
Speaker 2: you got to read this story. Oh my God. What
9:19
Speaker 2: were her first words? You look in the story. Her
9:23
Speaker 2: first words were, where am I?
9:28
Speaker 6: Whoa.
9:29
Speaker 2: That would be everybody's first words. Where am I? Hell
9:32
Speaker 2: of an ad-libber, huh? That's what anybody would have said.
9:35
Speaker 2: That's what I assumed the first words were. I would
9:38
Speaker 2: be shocked if those weren't the first words. He said,
9:40
Speaker 2: where am I? Who are you people? Now, they got
9:44
Speaker 2: to decide what to do. They got to decide if
9:47
Speaker 2: they're going to execute her again, which I would think
9:51
Speaker 2: they would and should. Her attorney is fighting this. They
9:57
Speaker 2: say she's got a long road to recovery. She's got
10:00
Speaker 2: blood clots in her arms. She's got pneumonia. Not able
10:03
Speaker 2: to swallow. She's got all this stuff going on. You know,
10:05
Speaker 2: believe it or not, under the law, you can't execute
10:08
Speaker 2: somebody that's not completely coherent. Believe it or not, they
10:12
Speaker 2: have to be in good shape to be executed. That's
10:14
Speaker 2: the law. She's got swelling in her hands, all sorts
10:17
Speaker 2: of stuff. Wait a minute, where is it? Here's... I
10:20
Speaker 2: think this is her lawyer here.
10:21
Speaker 7: She is not able to swallow yet, so she has
10:24
Speaker 7: not eaten. She cannot move either of her arms.
10:28
Speaker 8: Both of her.
10:29
Speaker 7: Arms and hands are tremendously swollen, and we do not
10:33
Speaker 7: know what, if any, functions she will regain in her arms.
10:37
Speaker 9: Huh.
10:38
Speaker 8: A Monday night.
10:39
Speaker 7: It was our understanding that Krista was brain dead and
10:42
Speaker 7: that life support would be removed the next day.
10:46
Speaker 8: But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone.
10:48
Speaker 7: Including me, including her team, and including the medical team,
10:52
Speaker 7: Krista woke up and began talking.
10:54
Speaker 2: Now, as I pointed out, 3% of the executions in
11:00
Speaker 2: America fail. 3% of the executions, they don't kill the person.
11:05
Speaker 2: And this has happened with hanging, with electrocution, all that
11:08
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. They got to decide what to do.
11:12
Speaker 2: Now they say, and the lawyer kept warning everybody, you know,
11:15
Speaker 2: she's in such a weird shape. Her veins are so
11:17
Speaker 2: screwed up. The injection won't be able to go all
11:20
Speaker 2: the way through. So that might've been the problem. But
11:23
Speaker 2: she's got all kinds of swelling in it.
11:25
Speaker 8: The swelling is what I noticed.
11:27
Speaker 7: And her hands looked like if you were to blow
11:31
Speaker 7: up a surgical glove.
11:33
Speaker 8: The swelling was extraordinary.
11:35
Speaker 2: Now, of course, he wants the death sentence dropped, commuted.
11:40
Speaker 7: We continue to ask Governor Lee to commute Krista's death sentence.
11:44
Speaker 7: After all we have seen and all that we still
11:47
Speaker 7: do not know, it is unimaginable that the state would
11:50
Speaker 7: try to execute her again.
11:52
Speaker 2: Well, if she did something so horrible, she got the
11:54
Speaker 2: death penalty. You got to execute her. So we'll see.
11:57
Speaker 2: But he'll go to court. He'll delay this forever and
12:00
Speaker 2: ever and ever and ever. Now, remember, we're telling you
12:04
Speaker 2: about this dirty, dirty Jack Smith, this really dirty cop,
12:09
Speaker 2: Jack Smith. He became the special counsel. That's why they
12:12
Speaker 2: got him to be the special counsel. They could have
12:15
Speaker 2: got him the twelve hundred people in D.C. that would
12:17
Speaker 2: have been perfect special counsels. They went halfway around the world.
12:21
Speaker 2: This guy's a famous hitman, Jack Smith. He goes after Republicans.
12:25
Speaker 2: He'll make up crap. He'll do all kinds of things.
12:28
Speaker 2: And in this case, he made up a lot of crap.
12:30
Speaker 2: He put together pictures of hundreds of boxes. You saw
12:33
Speaker 2: the pictures, those boxes, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of boxes. Well,
12:37
Speaker 2: it turned out none of them had classified documents in them.
12:40
Speaker 2: Turned out they only found 35 classified documents in Mar-a-Lago,
12:44
Speaker 2: which is one inch of one box. All those boxes
12:47
Speaker 2: you saw. We're not classified documents, just normal presidential papers.
12:52
Speaker 2: But it turns out now we're finding out more and
12:54
Speaker 2: more that under Joe Biden and Merrick Garland and the
12:58
Speaker 2: dirty FBI director, Christopher Wray, they turned Jack Smith loose
13:03
Speaker 2: on the Trump campaign. They had him do unbelievable surveillance
13:08
Speaker 2: on the Trump campaign. Now, remember, they did this in
13:10
Speaker 2: 2015 and 16, the Obama administration did. It turned out
13:15
Speaker 2: there was massive surveillance going on in Trump Tower. The
13:18
Speaker 2: most sophisticated, bugging, eavesdropping. Well, in this case, 2020, Biden
13:26
Speaker 2: and his evil Justice Department, Merrick Garland, they allowed Jack
13:32
Speaker 2: Smith to do everything. And it's all being released now.
13:36
Speaker 2: The logs that they kept on Susie Wiles. At the time, remember,
13:41
Speaker 2: Trump's a private citizen. She's merely his chief of staff.
13:45
Speaker 2: They got every phone call, everything. And these were phone
13:49
Speaker 2: calls with campaign officials, campaign with talking to attorneys, the
13:54
Speaker 2: Secret Service, detailed logs of every phone call catalog. It's
13:59
Speaker 2: all coming out. They buried these files somewhere in the FBI.
14:04
Speaker 2: Kash Patel, current FBI director, managed to find them. Now,
14:09
Speaker 2: this kind of lawfare is just evil, Letitia Jameson. Remember,
14:12
Speaker 2: they also had four criminal cases reported. going against Donald Trump,
14:16
Speaker 2: all coordinated by the White House. We know that Letitia
14:19
Speaker 2: James was going to the White House for meetings on it.
14:23
Speaker 2: We know that Fafani Willis, the guy she had running
14:25
Speaker 2: the case, went to the White House several times for
14:28
Speaker 2: eight-hour meetings, eight-hour meetings in the White House. We know
14:32
Speaker 2: that the case in New York, Alvin Bragg, the Biden
14:35
Speaker 2: administration sent their top justice official to come run the
14:38
Speaker 2: case here in New York. So it was all being coordinated.
14:42
Speaker 2: This is the dirtiest lawfare Now, remember when Trump got
14:46
Speaker 2: elected the first time, he had said in the campaign
14:48
Speaker 2: a number of times to Hillary Clinton, I'll appoint a
14:52
Speaker 2: special prosecutor. I'll go after you. You're going to be
14:54
Speaker 2: in jail. Well, he's not a, believe it or not,
14:56
Speaker 2: Trump is not a ruthless guy. He gets into office
15:00
Speaker 2: and he didn't do it. He didn't do it. Remember
15:02
Speaker 2: one time Leslie Stahl said to him, what happened? You
15:04
Speaker 2: promised you'd go after Hillary Clinton. And he said in
15:07
Speaker 2: the 60 Minutes interview, they're nice people. I don't want
15:09
Speaker 2: to hurt them. That's just the way he was. Now,
15:12
Speaker 2: a lot of people said, you know, you should have
15:13
Speaker 2: done it. You should have gone after him. He didn't.
15:17
Speaker 2: And he talked about it yesterday.
15:18
Speaker 10: I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton.
15:21
Speaker 10: I could have done very, very bad things to Joe Biden.
15:26
Speaker 10: I could have done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama.
15:30
Speaker 10: I thought it was inappropriate to do so because you
15:36
Speaker 10: have to treat the office of the presidency with respect.
15:40
Speaker 10: Then I found out that they impeached me twice. And
15:46
Speaker 10: I certainly, even to this moment, I can.
15:48
Speaker 2: Do whatever I want if I want. Yeah, but he's
15:51
Speaker 2: not a ruthless guy. He couldn't do it. He could
15:54
Speaker 2: have gone after Biden for that surveillance on the 2020 campaign.
15:59
Speaker 2: He could have been doing it now, but not going
16:01
Speaker 2: to do it. Some say he should. Hey, the Republicans
16:07
Speaker 2: had control of Congress under Biden. Did they impeach him
16:09
Speaker 2: every two weeks?
16:10
Speaker 11: No.
16:10
Speaker 2: That's But there are other people who say you can't
16:13
Speaker 2: act like Democrats. You can't do the evil things they do.
16:16
Speaker 2: It's just not right. We've got a lot to get to.
16:19
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon will be with us a little later. A
16:21
Speaker 2: lot to talk to him about. We'll get to the
16:25
Speaker 2: Nobel Prize. This is the most rigged, biased awards in
16:28
Speaker 2: the world, the Nobel. We'll get all of this coming up.
16:30
Speaker 2: It's Mark Simone here, 9 to noon every day. Three
16:34
Speaker 2: hours now, 9 to noon every day, here on 710WOR.
16:39
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studio.
16:46
Speaker 2: Hey, we were talking about that crazy Mamdani trying to
16:49
Speaker 2: play both sides. He goes to a vigil for those
16:53
Speaker 2: killed on October 7th in the awful Hamas Holocaust. He
16:58
Speaker 2: goes to the vigil, which was unusual for him. But
17:02
Speaker 2: then where did he go after that? He went to
17:06
Speaker 2: a Palestinian restaurant.
17:08
Speaker 6: Okay.
17:09
Speaker 2: On the Upper West Side, it's actually a Palestinian restaurant
17:14
Speaker 2: named for a child killed in Gaza. It's called Hind's Hall.
17:20
Speaker 2: Don't rush there. Don't rush there. Not so good. On
17:23
Speaker 2: Manhattan's Upper West Side, it's a branch of the Palestinian
17:26
Speaker 2: chain Ayat. The restaurant takes its name from Hind Rajab,
17:31
Speaker 2: a five-year-old girl who was killed in.
17:34
Speaker 2: Anyway, this is what he did last. He went to
17:36
Speaker 2: a Palestinian restaurant. Well, that may be punishment enough, having
17:39
Speaker 2: to eat that food. But when was the last time
17:41
Speaker 2: you saw a Palestinian restaurant? Oh, Larry David. Curb your enthusiasm.
17:49
Speaker 2: Remember the Palestinian chicken episode? One of the funniest ever
17:52
Speaker 2: in the whole series. So there he was. He made
17:55
Speaker 2: sure the press followed him. He made sure the press
17:58
Speaker 2: was there. You know, when they put out his schedule
18:00
Speaker 2: every day, A lot of times they say what he's
18:02
Speaker 2: going to do, but they don't give you the location.
18:04
Speaker 2: They don't tell you where it's going to be. They
18:05
Speaker 2: don't allow any press. This, they made sure there were
18:07
Speaker 2: press there. There's even photographs of him eating in the
18:11
Speaker 2: Palestinian restaurant. Now, normally when a big Instagram influencer goes
18:17
Speaker 2: to a certain restaurant, you know, like right now, you know,
18:20
Speaker 2: like Fort Charles is big or Cafe Charmant. That's the
18:24
Speaker 2: new hot one. All the Instagram influencers lines around the block.
18:28
Speaker 2: You can't get in. So we'll see what kind of
18:31
Speaker 2: influencer Mamdani is on Instagram with this Palestinian restaurant. Well,
18:36
Speaker 2: you never know. Maybe he is with all the crazy anti-Semites,
18:39
Speaker 2: all the haters. They may all be lining up at
18:43
Speaker 2: this Palestinian restaurant tonight. So the Cornell case, the Jane Doe,
18:50
Speaker 2: the accuser, apparently is getting all kinds of threats. Now,
18:55
Speaker 2: she's supposed to be anonymous, but her name is leaked
18:58
Speaker 2: out there. And she's getting all kinds of threatening phone calls,
19:01
Speaker 2: phone calls threatening to shoot her family if she doesn't
19:04
Speaker 2: drop the suit. One of the callers claimed to be
19:07
Speaker 2: related to one of the seven Cornell brothers. And he
19:13
Speaker 2: not only threatened to kill her family, he very coolly
19:17
Speaker 2: named her address, named all the people she knew. It's
19:20
Speaker 2: a pretty scary phone call. So this is the kind
19:23
Speaker 2: of stuff that's going on. One of the guys accused,
19:29
Speaker 2: one of the Cornell seven, this guy deserves a real,
19:35
Speaker 2: some kind of award for a chutzpah here. This guy
19:38
Speaker 2: is going after Cornell now, saying that he, on that night,
19:42
Speaker 2: was sodomized, and he is a sexual assault survivor. He
19:48
Speaker 2: is saying the university is sexist because they have done
19:51
Speaker 2: nothing for him. Now, what does he mean? Well, if
19:56
Speaker 2: you read her account, she admits that she wanted to
20:00
Speaker 2: have sex with two guys, and with one of them,
20:02
Speaker 2: she performed a certain sexual act, How do we say it?
20:10
Speaker 2: A Monica Lewinsky type of an act. And believe it
20:14
Speaker 2: or not, in some states, that's still legally classified as sodomy.
20:18
Speaker 2: So I guess that's what he's claiming. He's claiming he
20:22
Speaker 2: was sodomized and he's the sexual assault survivor. Just for nerve.
20:30
Speaker 2: Just for nerve, this guy gets an A. But now,
20:34
Speaker 2: you know, this is interesting.
20:36
Speaker 12: Two.
20:37
Speaker 2: of the Cornell seven. It's really four that are actually
20:41
Speaker 2: in the accounts we've seen. It's four that have actually
20:43
Speaker 2: committed these acts, but there were three there, three others.
20:47
Speaker 2: So it's the Cornell seven, but two of them still
20:52
Speaker 2: go to Cornell. They're still students. They attend classes. Teachers
20:56
Speaker 2: say it's very, very awkward because everybody knows who they are,
21:00
Speaker 2: but both students have continued to attend classes every day,
21:03
Speaker 2: even though they're identified. One of the seven has already graduated,
21:08
Speaker 2: but two of them are still there, and they go
21:10
Speaker 2: to class every day as if nothing's wrong. This is
21:13
Speaker 2: one of the strangest cases. You know, they're putting together
21:16
Speaker 2: a little panel to investigate whether or not Cornell handled
21:21
Speaker 2: it properly. I can save you the time and trouble.
21:23
Speaker 2: You don't need a panel. The fact that you're front-page
21:26
Speaker 2: news all over the world two years later means you
21:30
Speaker 2: didn't handle it right. You know, you can tell when
21:32
Speaker 2: you handled it right. Two years later, everybody forgot about it.
21:36
Speaker 2: It's two years after the incident. It's big, big news.
21:39
Speaker 2: It's the lead story on newscasts all over the world.
21:43
Speaker 2: So I guess you didn't handle it right. The White
21:47
Speaker 2: House carefully monitoring that plague outbreak in Russia. Lab worker died. Now,
21:54
Speaker 2: the thing they're worried about, this is how it all
21:56
Speaker 2: started in Wuhan, China. There was a leak out of
22:00
Speaker 2: the lab, but many people suspecting it was China deliberately
22:06
Speaker 2: leaking it out, deliberately causing a pandemic. And who the
22:09
Speaker 2: hell would trust Russia? So it looks like this lab worker,
22:14
Speaker 2: she broke a test tube and that's how it got
22:16
Speaker 2: onto her. But who knows? That's what they're monitoring, looking
22:20
Speaker 2: to see. First of all, you want to make sure
22:21
Speaker 2: it's contained, but also they want to see if this
22:24
Speaker 2: is some Russian plot. Now, why would China unleash a
22:28
Speaker 2: virus all over the world? Well, some think it was
22:30
Speaker 2: to completely disrupt the 2020 election. make sure that Donald
22:36
Speaker 2: Trump lost, knock him out of office, that sort of stuff.
22:39
Speaker 2: Who knows what Putin is up to? It might be
22:42
Speaker 2: an anti-Trump thing. It might be an anti-Ukraine thing. If
22:46
Speaker 2: this is an attempt to launch a plague. But we
22:49
Speaker 2: don't know that. Let's not get ahead of ourselves on that. J.D. Vance,
22:56
Speaker 2: you know his hometown? He wrote about it in that book,
22:58
Speaker 2: The Obelialogy. His hometown in Ohio. It's a nice, wonderful
23:02
Speaker 2: little town Apparently, it's been overrun by illegals, illegal migrants
23:08
Speaker 2: from Uzbekistan, and they're operating hundreds and hundreds of shady
23:12
Speaker 2: trucking businesses. The little quaint town is now going crazy.
23:17
Speaker 2: They don't know what to do. One local school district's
23:20
Speaker 2: now 12% non-English speaking students. There's a multimillion dollar mosque
23:26
Speaker 2: being built in the middle of this little tiny Mainville, Ohio.
23:30
Speaker 2: And the fraud is out of control. The fraud of
23:33
Speaker 2: these illegals, and not just these Somalis, but these guys. Now,
23:37
Speaker 2: listen to this. There's one company, a trucking company, that's
23:42
Speaker 2: getting federal grants and everything because they operate 23,000 trucks
23:48
Speaker 2: in this little town, 23,000 trucks. Well, the DOT investigated.
23:53
Speaker 2: It turns out it's just a single apartment, not an
23:56
Speaker 2: apartment building, just an apartment building. No sign of 23,000 trucks.
24:01
Speaker 2: It's kind of fraud that's going on all over the place. Hey,
24:04
Speaker 2: we've got a lot to get to. We'll take some
24:05
Speaker 2: calls coming up. But first, on 710WOR.
24:10
Speaker 1: Now, 9 till noon weekday.
24:13
Speaker 6: Smart.
24:13
Speaker 10: Simple.
24:14
Speaker 1: Only on 710WOR.
24:16
Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
24:20
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
24:28
Speaker 2: Our old friend, uh, Kimberly Guilfoyle getting herself into some
24:31
Speaker 2: trouble here. She's, uh, you know, remember she was engaged
24:34
Speaker 2: to Don jr. That got, uh, ended. They broke it off. Uh,
24:39
Speaker 2: and then the, uh, consolation prize was, uh, she was
24:42
Speaker 2: named ambassador to Greece. You know, if you're, uh, you
24:46
Speaker 2: got to break up with somebody and it's kind of awkward.
24:49
Speaker 2: Now you break up with them. If your father's the president, perfect.
24:52
Speaker 2: You know, make her an ambassador to Greece, get her
24:54
Speaker 2: like 5,000 miles away. Um, But the Wall Street Journal
25:00
Speaker 2: apparently got a hold of her texts, her signal chats.
25:04
Speaker 2: And the Wall Street Journal now claiming that she was
25:07
Speaker 2: shaking down donors, trying to get money out of them.
25:12
Speaker 2: That according to this Wall Street Journal, and they say
25:15
Speaker 2: they got a hold of these texts and chats, signal chats,
25:19
Speaker 2: that she had run up a lot of credit card debt,
25:22
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands in credit card debt. And there's a donor,
25:25
Speaker 2: apparently she'd gotten money from this guy before. So this
25:29
Speaker 2: is in summer of 2025. She kept pressing this Republican
25:32
Speaker 2: donor to pay her American Express.
25:37
Speaker 6: $ 100, 000.
25:38
Speaker 2: She wanted him to wire the money directly to American Express.
25:43
Speaker 2: And that would mean she wouldn't be involved in the transaction.
25:48
Speaker 2: There'd be no trace to her. And the guy didn't
25:51
Speaker 2: want to do it. Apparently he's a big donor and
25:53
Speaker 2: he paid money for her before. But he said, if
25:57
Speaker 2: I do this, my wife will leave me if I've
25:59
Speaker 2: given you.
25:59
Speaker 4: $ 100, 000.
25:59
Speaker 2: His wife would leave him, so who knows what was
26:03
Speaker 2: going on there. But she said, you wire it directly
26:06
Speaker 2: to American Express. She'll never know. But apparently, he was
26:09
Speaker 2: too worried about the wife. She didn't do it. Now,
26:13
Speaker 2: how did she get all this credit card debt? Remember,
26:14
Speaker 2: she's engaged to Donald Trump. Maybe she was spending and
26:17
Speaker 2: spending and spending, thinking she's going to become part of
26:20
Speaker 2: the Trump family, and it didn't work out. So, We'll
26:23
Speaker 2: see what happens with this Wall Street Journal piece, how
26:26
Speaker 2: far this spreads. Let's take some calls. Let's go to Dr. Bob,
26:30
Speaker 2: a great surgeon in Long Island. Dr. Bob, how are
26:33
Speaker 2: you doing?
26:34
Speaker 13: I'm good, Mark. How are you?
26:35
Speaker 2: Good.
26:36
Speaker 13: Mark, I'm concerned. I'm a big supporter of Donald Trump,
26:40
Speaker 13: but I think he's trying to achieve a balance, and
26:42
Speaker 13: it's making him look a little bit wishy-washy. He used
26:46
Speaker 13: the term with various people in the past that they
26:50
Speaker 13: weren't closers, and I hope that He takes more of
26:53
Speaker 13: the Harry Truman approach and finishes and solves some problems
26:57
Speaker 13: with Hillary and the other Democrats who have attacked him
27:01
Speaker 13: during his runs for presidency. He has too much respect
27:06
Speaker 13: for the office of president, but he should really follow
27:09
Speaker 13: through with what he's said about those people that were
27:13
Speaker 13: attacking him during his presidential run.
27:14
Speaker 2: Give him time. Give him time. Let's get through the
27:16
Speaker 2: midterms first. You don't do it now. You do it
27:18
Speaker 2: after the midterms.
27:19
Speaker 14: Right.
27:19
Speaker 13: The next two years, I'm hoping he cinches down.
27:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, they should lock up Jack Smith and Merrick Garland
27:26
Speaker 2: and all of those people.
27:27
Speaker 15: Exactly.
27:28
Speaker 2: All right, Dr. Bob, thanks for calling. Let's go to
27:31
Speaker 2: Megan in Brooklyn. Megan, how you doing?
27:34
Speaker 14: Okay, I am furious about what you said the other day.
27:38
Speaker 2: Oh, calm down, calm down.
27:39
Speaker 14: I have to.
27:40
Speaker 2: What the hell is so mad about?
27:42
Speaker 14: Not using cash, okay? I use cash for everything. You
27:46
Speaker 14: know who ties up the lines when I'm going to pay?
27:49
Speaker 14: The people with the snaps. benefits the food stamp benefits
27:53
Speaker 14: the ebts because you can see the screen constantly where
27:57
Speaker 14: they have to check okay.
27:58
Speaker 2: But listen you gotta pay the checkout they ring it
28:01
Speaker 2: up you take your credit card you touch the thing
28:02
Speaker 2: and you're.
28:03
Speaker 16: Paying no you'll move on you take your phone you'll
28:06
Speaker 16: hold it up one second you're paid you go you
28:09
Speaker 16: people with the cash and it's always an older woman
28:11
Speaker 16: and that's not counting it out.
28:13
Speaker 2: The cashier is 12 years old she's like 22 she's
28:16
Speaker 2: never even seen cash Got to figure out how to
28:18
Speaker 2: give you change.
28:19
Speaker 17: Not true.
28:20
Speaker 14: Everything is automatic. Even the receipt, when it comes out,
28:23
Speaker 14: it tells them how much change to give.
28:26
Speaker 2: I know, but it's like a 20-year-old kid who's not
28:28
Speaker 2: used to dealing with cash. Now, don't you have a
28:31
Speaker 2: credit card?
28:32
Speaker 14: Yes, but I don't use it unless I'm ordering something big.
28:35
Speaker 14: What do you think it's for?
28:37
Speaker 2: It's for the supermarket.
28:39
Speaker 14: I don't want identity theft, okay? And it's a big thing,
28:43
Speaker 14: a big thing. So I only use it when I
28:45
Speaker 14: have a big purchase online or whatever.
28:47
Speaker 2: First of all, if you were a victim of identity theft,
28:50
Speaker 2: they'd give it back after seeing your identity. Yeah, I'm
28:52
Speaker 2: not going through that.
28:54
Speaker 14: I am not going through that, but I want my money.
28:58
Speaker 14: I don't want my nickels being taken away. It's bad
29:01
Speaker 14: enough my pennies were taken away.
29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no more pennies, and the government is going
29:05
Speaker 2: to stop making nickels, so.
29:06
Speaker 18: Absolutely.
29:07
Speaker 2: So how much cash do you keep? You have to
29:08
Speaker 2: keep a lot of cash around.
29:09
Speaker 14: I have enough. I have enough, and I know what
29:13
Speaker 14: I'm buying. No problem. No problem.
29:16
Speaker 2: All right, but cash only. That's like a Carmelo Soprano
29:20
Speaker 2: kind of a behavior.
29:22
Speaker 14: Believe it or not, I'm Italian-American. I never watch The Sopranos.
29:28
Speaker 11: Never.
29:29
Speaker 14: Absolutely never.
29:30
Speaker 2: But you have a credit card, right?
29:33
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah, I have two of them, but I only
29:35
Speaker 14: use them for certain things.
29:36
Speaker 2: I want you to do me a favor.
29:38
Speaker 11: Go ahead.
29:39
Speaker 2: I want you to go to the supermarket just once,
29:41
Speaker 2: just once, and use the credit card. Just once. Just once.
29:47
Speaker 14: I don't even use it for buying gasoline for the car.
29:50
Speaker 2: How do you get gas?
29:52
Speaker 14: I pay cash, and they pump it for me. With
29:54
Speaker 14: the one station in Brooklyn that actually pumps the gas
29:57
Speaker 14: for you.
30:00
Speaker 2: I can't stand it. I got to pump my own gas.
30:02
Speaker 2: I hate those full service gas stations.
30:04
Speaker 14: Oh, I love it because I don't have to get
30:06
Speaker 14: out of the car. It's full service and I'm a
30:08
Speaker 14: happy camper.
30:09
Speaker 2: I'm trying to help you. Get out of the car,
30:11
Speaker 2: walk around, pump your own gas. Okay, just once, just
30:16
Speaker 2: once I want you to use the credit card in
30:17
Speaker 2: the supermarket. Just to feel, see what the experience is like.
30:21
Speaker 14: No promises made.
30:22
Speaker 2: All right. Well, you're a nice woman, Megan. Thanks for calling.
30:25
Speaker 2: Take care. Remember years ago you had the woman wants
30:28
Speaker 2: to pay with a check in the supermarket. You got
30:29
Speaker 2: to wait while she writes out the, it's the same
30:31
Speaker 2: thing now with the cash. You got to wait while
30:33
Speaker 2: she takes out the cash. The cashier has never used
30:36
Speaker 2: cash in her life. She's 23. She's got to figure
30:38
Speaker 2: out what, how you give change. Use the credit card.
30:42
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
30:46
Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark.
30:47
Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
30:48
Speaker 6: Down here in Florida, they still try to play with checks.
30:51
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
30:52
Speaker 11: Yeah.
30:52
Speaker 6: I'm ready to blow my brain. Um, You know, the
30:57
Speaker 6: AI thing is simmered down for a couple of days,
30:59
Speaker 6: but I wanted to mention to people who may not
31:02
Speaker 6: be old enough, you know, once upon a time, computers
31:04
Speaker 6: were sort of this way. You know, 2001 Space Odyssey
31:07
Speaker 6: was basically about a rogue computer, and that was 1968.
31:10
Speaker 6: And then before that, in the 50s, they made a
31:15
Speaker 6: movie called Desk Set, which was about a computer, in part,
31:19
Speaker 6: you know, running a company and ruining people's lives. so
31:22
Speaker 6: you know that was the ai.
31:25
Speaker 2: In 1999 2000 everybody was talking about this when we
31:28
Speaker 2: were going digital and online and email everybody thought it
31:30
Speaker 2: was going to take over and ruin us and then
31:33
Speaker 2: y2k the year 2000 everybody thought uh yeah i.
31:36
Speaker 6: Mentioned that a couple of calls back and then i
31:39
Speaker 6: call and mentioned it again yesterday yeah it's it's that
31:42
Speaker 6: hysteria but it was funny about computers because now computers
31:44
Speaker 6: everybody has a computer in their pocket you know i
31:47
Speaker 6: mean uh which is everybody's short memories about these alarmists.
31:53
Speaker 11: Yeah.
31:53
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, good call. And as we always point out,
31:57
Speaker 2: when electricity was first invented, the same thing happened. There
32:01
Speaker 2: was hysteria that electricity would kill us all, would wipe
32:04
Speaker 2: us out, and that's what led to Mary Shelley writing
32:08
Speaker 2: the book Frankenstein about how with electricity you could create
32:12
Speaker 2: monsters that would kill us. It happens all the time.
32:15
Speaker 2: There's a new movie coming out called Artificial. to be
32:18
Speaker 2: released Christmas day. And this will help propel this AI hysteria,
32:25
Speaker 2: but it's a good movie. It's a very good movie.
32:27
Speaker 2: About 75% of it is true. 25% of it is
32:31
Speaker 2: total fiction. Let's go to Anthony in the Bronx. Anthony,
32:34
Speaker 2: what'd you want to say?
32:36
Speaker 11: You can always play in paying pennies.
32:38
Speaker 9: And what about the Brooklyn bridge?
32:39
Speaker 11: They were first, they're afraid to go over it, right?
32:42
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:43
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good point.
32:44
Speaker 14: Yeah.
32:44
Speaker 2: People get like that. Yeah. He's right. You know, when
32:46
Speaker 2: they built the Brooklyn bridge, it was too scary to,
32:49
Speaker 2: to go over it. Listen, nobody remembers Y2K. I mean,
32:55
Speaker 2: they remember it, but they don't remember how scared everybody was.
32:58
Speaker 2: They actually, at the time, said planes could drop out
33:01
Speaker 2: of the sky, everything could stop, the whole power grid
33:04
Speaker 2: could shut down. People look back, yeah, Y2K, they don't
33:09
Speaker 2: remember exactly how bad it was. Hey, we got a
33:12

35:33
Speaker 4: minutes worth of makeup.
35:34
Speaker 2: That's why we had to move this.
35:36
Speaker 9: You know this, Mark.
35:37
Speaker 4: I am standard definition pretty. If you're watching an SD,
35:41
Speaker 4: I look fine. But if you put me on an HD,
35:43
Speaker 4: it looks like a carnival attraction. So wish them luck.
35:46
Speaker 4: And thanks for having me on.
35:48
Speaker 15: I'm fired up.
35:49
Speaker 2: You know, I never get makeup. Well, there's always like
35:55
Speaker 2: three or four makeup. you know, people. So when it
35:59
Speaker 2: comes to me, did you get makeup? Yeah, she gave
36:01
Speaker 2: it to me.
36:02
Speaker 11: Oh, okay.
36:04
Speaker 2: I never get it.
36:06
Speaker 4: But you get away with it.
36:07
Speaker 2: Nobody ever noticed. They don't notice. Try it one day
36:12
Speaker 2: without makeup. Nobody will notice.
36:15
Speaker 4: Well, what happens to me is, and I should do
36:17
Speaker 4: that because I get in the chair and And if,
36:20
Speaker 4: you know, if it's the weekend and I was like eating.
36:23
Speaker 9: Salt in my face is a little like.
36:24
Speaker 4: They hiss, like they get mad at you.
36:26
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.
36:27
Speaker 17: I get fat shamed.
36:28
Speaker 4: It's like, I go to makeup.
36:29
Speaker 9: It's like a dominatrix.
36:30
Speaker 4: They just call me names. Like somebody had spare ribs during.
36:33
Speaker 2: The football game.
36:34
Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, come on. I'm trying over here.
36:36
Speaker 4: I'm a regular guy.
36:36
Speaker 6: Yeah.
36:38
Speaker 2: And let's say, well, no, we're not gonna mention any
36:40
Speaker 2: names here, but let's be honest. A guy like you
36:42
Speaker 2: or me, we, we go in, we're in a makeup
36:44
Speaker 2: chair for five, six minutes. Some of these women, they
36:47
Speaker 2: go in there like an hour and a half before,
36:48
Speaker 2: and there's like three people working on them, and it's
36:50
Speaker 2: like brushes and rollers, and what the hell are they
36:54
Speaker 2: doing there?
36:55
Speaker 4: Looks like a NASCAR pit crew.
36:57
Speaker 11: They're changing the fenders. What's going on?
37:00
Speaker 4: What's that pump for?
37:02
Speaker 2: What is that about?
37:02
Speaker 6: I'm confused.
37:04
Speaker 4: Blowing them things up.
37:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then, well, anyway, so I don't even know
37:11
Speaker 2: where to start. Let's start with Mom Donnie. What the
37:13
Speaker 2: hell was he trying to do yesterday? vigil for Israel.
37:17
Speaker 2: Then he's at the Palestinian restaurant. He's trying to play
37:20
Speaker 2: both sides. You can't get away with that, can you?
37:23
Speaker 4: No, and that's the most insane part about it is
37:26
Speaker 4: everybody who saw that Twitter post thought that would be
37:29
Speaker 4: like his only shame of the day. Obviously, he acknowledged
37:33
Speaker 4: Israelis didn't say the word Jew, gave that 49 words.
37:37
Speaker 4: I believe the rest of the, you know, but, you know,
37:40
Speaker 4: Israel and America and everything else was like another two pages.
37:43
Speaker 4: So he gave the What's funny, though, is like he
37:46
Speaker 4: didn't think he had given those dirtbags enough of a
37:48
Speaker 4: shout out. So he showed up to their rally last
37:51
Speaker 4: night and found out they weren't happy either, which I
37:54
Speaker 4: thought was I mean, I thought the whole thing was hilarious,
37:57
Speaker 4: but so emblematic of what Mom Donnie is. He is
38:01
Speaker 4: a tick tock influencer who just wants his likes. So
38:05
Speaker 4: you're going to say the thing about Israel, but you're
38:06
Speaker 4: going to try to appease the free Palestine nuts. And
38:09
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, people are starting to
38:11
Speaker 4: see through it. So I enjoyed it. But I don't
38:13
Speaker 4: know if this changes his calculus because normally a lot
38:16
Speaker 4: of things he celebrates, you know, the anniversary of the
38:18
Speaker 4: Boston Marathon attacks. Is he even going to have that
38:21
Speaker 4: party now?
38:22
Speaker 2: I don't know. And then he puts out this picture
38:26
Speaker 2: where he's going to the Palestinian restaurant. What the hell
38:29
Speaker 2: is a Palestinian restaurant? What are they? come out of
38:30
Speaker 2: the kitchen and massacre you what is a palestinian.
38:33
Speaker 4: Restaurant that that's funny if you don't like the food
38:37
Speaker 4: you can throw rocks at the waitress i mean what
38:38
Speaker 4: is going on here we're making jokes because this is
38:43
Speaker 4: that ridiculous i mean the whole free palestine thing and
38:46
Speaker 4: it's something they never talk about is who are you
38:49
Speaker 4: actually freeing it from if we were going to get
38:51
Speaker 4: technical because it's run by hamas so they yell free
38:54
Speaker 4: palestine like we should all be mad at the jews
38:57
Speaker 4: But the Jews aren't there. They're next door, just hanging out,
39:00
Speaker 4: trying to stop the rockets from flying into town. That's
39:03
Speaker 4: how dumb the whole thing is. They freak out, they
39:06
Speaker 4: come off from Palestine. So I don't even get it, man. Yeah.
39:10
Speaker 2: So what's going to, Mamdani, it's an amazing, unbelievable, this
39:15
Speaker 2: would be a hell of a movie. A guy who's
39:17
Speaker 2: never had a job in his life. He's 12 years old.
39:19
Speaker 2: He's a TikTok influencer. Suddenly he's the mayor of the
39:22
Speaker 2: biggest city in the world. It's it's an incredible story isn't.
39:25
Speaker 4: It yeah well yeah in the movie itself it's really
39:29
Speaker 4: a good american tale i mean that's what he should
39:31
Speaker 4: be like he should like america you come here and
39:34
Speaker 4: your first job is mayor of the biggest city in
39:37
Speaker 4: the country i'd say this is a pretty tolerant society
39:41
Speaker 4: you know i don't ever want to hear a word
39:43
Speaker 4: about islamophobia again it's like you showed up to our
39:46
Speaker 4: town bashing our country And we were like, hey, maybe put.
39:50
Speaker 2: This guy in charge.
39:51
Speaker 4: OK, I'd say it's a pretty opportunistic place.
39:55
Speaker 2: Well, Jimmy Fallon's on every night, nine to midnight, right
39:58
Speaker 2: here on WOR, nine to midnight. Hey, the midterms, Democrats
40:04
Speaker 2: running on affordability. You know, it was Donald Trump that
40:07
Speaker 2: first campaigned on affordability in 2016. That's how they stole
40:11
Speaker 2: his idea. But are they the ones to run on affordability?
40:16
Speaker 4: No, that's like my favorite thing in the world. That's
40:18
Speaker 4: like Lindsey Clancy saying we need better babysitting. It's like,
40:22
Speaker 4: come on, I don't know if this is your forte.
40:24
Speaker 4: And they were the ones who jacked up the prices.
40:27
Speaker 4: So that, it drives me crazy because you know this.
40:30
Speaker 4: When the government spends more money, the cost of everything
40:33
Speaker 4: goes up in the process. That's what drives inflation. Too
40:36
Speaker 4: many dollars chasing too few goods. But when they try
40:39
Speaker 4: to go, well, things are too expensive, so what we're
40:41
Speaker 4: going to do to give you a break is we're
40:43
Speaker 4: going to tax the hell out of these companies. They
40:45
Speaker 4: don't actually lower prices when that happens. They go, oh,
40:48
Speaker 4: we got this big tax bill. I guess the pack
40:50
Speaker 4: of Twinkies is going up another 49 cents. And you
40:54
Speaker 4: know this.
40:54
Speaker 2: I know this.
40:55
Speaker 4: But it's crazy because it's people who failed.
40:58
Speaker 6: Math in history.
40:59
Speaker 4: but have figured out how to get likes on TikTok.
41:02
Speaker 4: And that's essentially what life is now. Most politicians are
41:06
Speaker 4: TikTok influencers who have a side hustle in Congress. That's
41:09
Speaker 4: what we're watching.
41:10
Speaker 2: Wow. Jimmy Fallon, Krista Pike, she survived two lethal injections.
41:17
Speaker 2: What do you think? I'd say give her like three
41:20
Speaker 2: sandwiches from the Carnegie Deli. Let's hear her survive that.
41:22
Speaker 4: You could take her right out. I mean, because here's
41:25
Speaker 4: the other thing. People are on the fence about this
41:28
Speaker 4: because they're like, well, she deserved the death penalty, but
41:30
Speaker 4: she survived the execution. That's his own trauma. So if
41:34
Speaker 4: you take the guilt and the debate away, what you
41:36
Speaker 4: do is you give her tickets to The View, she
41:38
Speaker 4: kills herself, and then nobody has to feel bad. We're all,
41:43
Speaker 4: our hands are clean here, okay? That's the all-female execution
41:47
Speaker 4: team we need. You throw that on, she's jumping off.
41:49
Speaker 19: A building, and there we go.
41:51
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, every Saturday night you do the show.
41:54
Speaker 2: It's on the Fox News channel. It is the funniest
41:58
Speaker 2: late night show of all. You do the best monologue
42:00
Speaker 2: in television. It's like 18 minutes of just funny jokes.
42:05
Speaker 2: Then I watch Jimmy Kimmel. He does like four minutes
42:08
Speaker 2: of hate speech. That's supposed to be the monologue. How
42:13
Speaker 2: does that happen on a network? Doesn't somebody say to him, hey,
42:16
Speaker 2: try making jokes. Try actually being funny.
42:19
Speaker 4: The problem is the person who's supposed to say that,
42:22
Speaker 4: like the head writer, is his wife. And his wife,
42:25
Speaker 4: for real, his wife is the head writer on that show.
42:28
Speaker 4: As crazy as that sounds to people. And what you're
42:31
Speaker 4: really getting through him is like he's kind of the
42:34
Speaker 4: messenger for her. Because he wasn't really a comic to
42:37
Speaker 4: begin with. So he's always had writers kind of steering
42:40
Speaker 4: him in a direction. But now he has a head writer.
42:43
Speaker 4: who is one of those women that would be out
42:45
Speaker 4: there cheering for Hamas, even though Hamas doesn't recognize her
42:49
Speaker 4: right to exist freely in society. So it's crazy because
42:53
Speaker 4: there really has, there's never been a dumber time to
42:55
Speaker 4: be alive. The comedians are now making more serious statements.
42:59
Speaker 2: Than the news people.
43:00
Speaker 4: You know, the news people are trying to pretend Trump
43:03
Speaker 4: wanted to blow up California.
43:05
Speaker 2: Okay.
43:06
Speaker 4: What we should be focused on is the fact that
43:08
Speaker 4: California looks like somebody.
43:10
Speaker 2: Already blew it up.
43:11
Speaker 9: That's what we should be concerned about.
43:13
Speaker 2: Hey, when they do that, Trump says something outrageous, which,
43:17
Speaker 2: you know, he's got the Howard Stern side to him.
43:20
Speaker 2: They try to make it a campaign issue. Nobody cares
43:23
Speaker 2: anymore that he said something crazy. He always does.
43:25
Speaker 4: No, it's so baked into the cake at this point.
43:30
Speaker 4: That Trump is a New Yorker. OK, people talk.
43:32
Speaker 9: Out of their butts around here.
43:34
Speaker 4: We exaggerate.
43:35
Speaker 2: We pick little fights.
43:36
Speaker 4: You know, we have, you know, our little thing fits
43:39
Speaker 4: that we throw from time to time. But the point
43:41
Speaker 4: is that he's just a human being. And most people
43:44
Speaker 4: have seen him now for 10 years. So you can't
43:47
Speaker 4: surprise them. This would be like running a campaign commercial
43:50
Speaker 4: that Liberace dresses loud. We know that. The rhinestones are
43:55
Speaker 4: just part of the deal now. And that's their biggest
43:59
Speaker 4: problem is they're running on a lot of things the rest.
44:02
Speaker 6: Of us are used to.
44:03
Speaker 4: But that's why the socialists have traction because the socialists
44:07
Speaker 4: aren't out there pretending Trump is Hitler. The socialists are
44:10
Speaker 4: out there saying we should just kill the Jews ourselves.
44:13
Speaker 4: It's crazy. But that's a lot of the whole DSA movement.
44:17
Speaker 4: And they were chanting last night, globalize the intifada. Guys,
44:21
Speaker 4: I mean, that is not, you know, that's the goal here.
44:24
Speaker 4: And that's the part I have a problem with. I'm
44:26
Speaker 4: a free speech absolutist. But it's hard to walk down
44:29
Speaker 4: the streets in our city hearing people chant, we've got
44:32
Speaker 4: to kill everyone who doesn't agree with us and feel
44:34
Speaker 4: like we're doing a good thing by letting them all in,
44:36
Speaker 4: you know?
44:37
Speaker 6: Yeah.
44:38
Speaker 2: Well, hey, Jimmy Phil, I know I've got to let
44:39
Speaker 2: you go because you've got a show to do. Tonight,
44:42
Speaker 2: 9 to midnight. Every weeknight, listen to him. 9 to midnight.
44:46
Speaker 2: It's a really great show on WOR. And make sure
44:49
Speaker 2: you watch his Saturday night show. On the Fox News Channel,
44:52
Speaker 2: 10 o'clock. You're taping it tomorrow night, and people can
44:55
Speaker 2: come see it?
44:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, we tape Friday nights. Tomorrow night, Chris Hansen from
44:59
Speaker 4: Dateline is on. Oh!
45:01
Speaker 6: So, I know.
45:02
Speaker 4: He's got Robert Pattinson playing him in a movie.
45:04
Speaker 2: That's a big deal.
45:06
Speaker 4: But he's going to be in studio. If you guys
45:08
Speaker 4: want to come meet Chris Hansen and any of the
45:10
Speaker 4: Fox people, the tickets are always free at foxacrossamerica.com.
45:14
Speaker 2: It's a good hang. Yeah, Friday evening, and bring somebody.
45:17
Speaker 2: It's free. It's a great date. FoxAcrossAmerica.com. You can get
45:23
Speaker 2: the tickets there and listen to Jimmy Fallon tonight. Well,
45:26
Speaker 2: thanks for today, and we'll talk to you at the
45:29
Speaker 2: normal time next week.
45:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if they bump me from TV because, like,
45:33
Speaker 4: Trump gives a weird speech, I'll disguise my voice and
45:35
Speaker 4: call in.
45:36
Speaker 2: As a caller. See you in a little bit.
45:38
Speaker 6: Thanks, man.
45:38
Speaker 2: All right, take care. Thanks. The great Jimmy Fallon. So, yeah,
45:43
Speaker 2: normally we do a big, long opening. We'll do that
45:45
Speaker 2: later in the hour. But speaking of President Trump, hey,
45:49
Speaker 2: big announcement yesterday. Actually, a big ceremony. This is a
45:53
Speaker 2: great thing he's come up with. You won't see it
45:55
Speaker 2: anywhere in the news because it's too positive. They will
45:58
Speaker 2: make sure not to mention this. But they set up
46:00
Speaker 2: those Trump accounts. And it's every kid that's born gets
46:05
Speaker 2: an account. And the government will put $ 1, 000 into the account.
46:10
Speaker 2: And then it goes into a fund, like an investment
46:13
Speaker 2: fund that's very, very safe. They'll invest in the S &
46:17
Speaker 2: P 500, the safest and best investments. So you start
46:21
Speaker 2: when you're born with $ 1, 000. And by the time you're
46:25
Speaker 2: ready to go to college, it'll have grown to like
46:27
Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 and it'll pay for college. It's a great idea.
46:31
Speaker 2: And a lot of the corporations are donating to it
46:34
Speaker 2: and giving money to it. And big, big congratulations to
46:39
Speaker 2: a real hero. And this is Michael Dell and his wife, Susan.
46:43
Speaker 2: They're going to give $ 250 into the accounts for 25
46:48
Speaker 2: million kids. It's going to cost them about $ 3 billion,
46:52
Speaker 2: but they're going to do this. And as they say,
46:54
Speaker 2: some of the biggest companies in America are giving hundreds
46:56
Speaker 2: of millions. This week, they got 70 million kids signed
47:04
Speaker 2: up for this. You got to have a social security number.
47:07
Speaker 2: You got to be under 18. But when you're born,
47:10
Speaker 2: they'll put you into this program. So far, they've put
47:14
Speaker 2: about almost $ 5 billion into these accounts. $ 5 billion. So
47:18
Speaker 2: the president had a big ceremony yesterday. Any child born
47:22
Speaker 2: during Trump's second term will receive a $ 1, 000 contribution. And again,
47:27
Speaker 2: by the time you're in college, it'll grow to about $ 100, 000.
47:30
Speaker 2: It'll pay for your education or if you want to
47:33
Speaker 2: start a business or whatever. President Trump yesterday.
47:36
Speaker 10: I urge all parents to download the official Trump account app.
47:40
Speaker 10: claim their children's account or begin managing and contributing to
47:45
Speaker 10: it today.
47:45
Speaker 2: It's really amazing. Yeah, it's a great thing. And Mrs. Dell,
47:49
Speaker 2: Susan Dell, said for every child across America, these accounts
47:53
Speaker 2: are for you. We believe in you. We want you
47:56
Speaker 2: to dream big. We know you can make your dreams
47:58
Speaker 2: come true. It's a great thing. So everybody should take advantage. Now,
48:04
Speaker 2: a parent or guardian must claim the account in order
48:06
Speaker 2: to manage it. Manage it, allow others to contribute to it,
48:10
Speaker 2: and for children to receive all of this. A parent
48:14
Speaker 2: has to be involved in this. Hey, when you send
48:17
Speaker 2: your kid to college, you say, what, that tuition? Why
48:20
Speaker 2: is it so much for this tuition? These colleges, somebody
48:26
Speaker 2: really needs to look into them. Exactly what the costs are,
48:29
Speaker 2: exactly why they're charging so much money. Take Yale University,
48:35
Speaker 2: maybe one of our finest universities, Yale University. They just
48:39
Speaker 2: spent $ 30 million at Yale. Now, you're saying, oh, they
48:44
Speaker 2: must have put in the state-of-the-art computers and... No. They
48:48
Speaker 2: spent $ 30 million renovating the golf course. Now, golf doesn't
48:59
Speaker 2: take 10 minutes. You play golf, it's three hours. Aren't
49:05
Speaker 2: you supposed to be studying or going to class or doing...
49:07
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to be on the golf course for
49:08
Speaker 2: three hours. And how much does it cost to renovate
49:12
Speaker 2: the golf course? Hire a couple of landscapers, let them
49:16
Speaker 2: mow the grass or something. fix the sand trap. 30
49:21
Speaker 2: million on renovating the golf course? That's why your tuition
49:26
Speaker 2: is so much. 30 million. Now, when your kid calls
49:30
Speaker 2: you from school, how is it? Oh my God, it's
49:32
Speaker 2: so tough. The study? No, the fourth hole. They made
49:36
Speaker 2: the fourth hole longer And they narrowed the fairway. I mean,
49:40
Speaker 2: $ 30 million on the golf. This is not to build
49:41
Speaker 2: a golf course. It's just to renovate the golf course.
49:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely ridiculous. So we'll get back to Crazy Mom Donnie.
49:49
Speaker 2: We'll get to AI. Is it really going to kill everybody?
49:53
Speaker 2: We'll get to Iran and a whole lot more coming up.
49:56
Speaker 2: We'll take some calls too. 800-321-0710 is the number.
49:58
Speaker 6: 800-321-0710.
49:58
Speaker 2: Also, we'll get to these people in Congress. You won't
50:09
Speaker 2: believe how they're actually robbing you now. We'll get to
50:11
Speaker 2: this coming up. Mark Simone here on 710WOR.
50:15
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now 9 till noon weekdays.
50:21
Speaker 6: 710WOR.
50:25
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls.
50:26
Speaker 4: 800-321-7104.
50:28
Speaker 2: 0-7-10 is the number. 800-321-0710. So, you know, they've caught
50:35
Speaker 2: a lot of illegal immigrants trying to vote. Lots of
50:38
Speaker 2: illegals trying to vote. They've been caught. States have admitted
50:42
Speaker 2: to it. You know how much coverage that's been getting
50:46
Speaker 2: on network TV, ABC, CBS, NBC? There's an organization that
50:52
Speaker 2: studies this. The exact number of minutes it's been covered
50:56
Speaker 2: by ABC, CBS, and NBC is zero. That's the number. Zero.
51:03
Speaker 2: No coverage of it at all. President Trump apparently, reportedly
51:09
Speaker 2: weighing new Iran strikes before the midterms. Now, we know
51:13
Speaker 2: after the midterms, once it's over, Iran is just going
51:16
Speaker 2: to get wiped out, just completely wiped out. See, they
51:18
Speaker 2: think good strategies wait for the midterms. And then if
51:22
Speaker 2: the president loses the midterms, the new Democratic Congress will
51:28
Speaker 2: stop the war. I don't think they calculated into this.
51:33
Speaker 2: Right after the midterms, let's say the Democrats win. They
51:37
Speaker 2: don't take office until January. Trump would have two months
51:40
Speaker 2: to wipe out Iran. But apparently there have been meetings,
51:43
Speaker 2: preparations by the Pentagon, just in case they may launch
51:47
Speaker 2: a massive amount of strikes against Iran. before the midterms,
51:54
Speaker 2: just to make it look like something's going to turn
51:56
Speaker 2: in Iraq. Now, some of this is being reported by Atlantic,
52:00
Speaker 2: the Atlantic, which has now become about the most unreliable
52:03
Speaker 2: publication in the world. But we'll see what happens. Hey,
52:08
Speaker 2: let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's go
52:13
Speaker 2: to Bill in Idaho. Bill, how are you doing?
52:16
Speaker 15: Hey, Mark.
52:17
Speaker 11: How are you today?
52:20
Speaker 2: I'm good. What are you in a tunnel right now?
52:23
Speaker 17: No, well, sort of, you know, I live in Cordon Lane, Idaho.
52:27
Speaker 2: And we ask that callers get within 50 feet of
52:30
Speaker 2: the phone. How far away are you from the phone?
52:34
Speaker 6: Oh, not too far.
52:35
Speaker 11: All right.
52:36
Speaker 2: You want to be like that?
52:37
Speaker 11: All right.
52:37
Speaker 2: Wait, hang on. I'm going to go back here. I'll
52:39
Speaker 2: talk from here. How's that?
52:42
Speaker 11: Okay.
52:43
Speaker 2: We'll both sound.
52:43
Speaker 11: Like we're far away.
52:45
Speaker 15: I got my closer now.
52:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. How about go right up to the phone?
52:50
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm up to the phone right now.
52:53
Speaker 2: See, now we can hear you. Okay.
52:56
Speaker 15: You know, you said the only problem with.
52:58
Speaker 6: Living in Idaho is you're living in Idaho.
53:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they.
53:04
Speaker 6: But here's a fascinating fact that you might want to know.
53:08
Speaker 2: All right.
53:11
Speaker 11: In this small.
53:12
Speaker 6: County, there are more doctors than there are in Boston or.
53:16
Speaker 15: Johns Hopkins or the Mayo Clinic.
53:19
Speaker 6: And you know why?
53:23
Speaker 11: Because all of Canada comes down here and gets their
53:27
Speaker 11: medical stuff because socialized medicine is.
53:32
Speaker 2: Well, I understand. But if you're from Canada, you come
53:34
Speaker 2: here for help. Why wouldn't you go to New York
53:36
Speaker 2: or the Mayo Clinic or... Why would you go to Idaho?
53:39
Speaker 19: Because you've got to pay taxes.
53:41
Speaker 6: You don't have parking space.
53:43
Speaker 11: You know, there's no taxes here.
53:47
Speaker 6: There are three casinos, you know, the old ladies you
53:50
Speaker 6: go to.
53:51
Speaker 11: You know, it's all owned by the Indians.
53:56
Speaker 6: By the way.
53:57
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like a hell of a place to live.
53:59
Speaker 2: Sounds like a lot of fun. Three broken down casinos.
54:02
Speaker 2: And lots of parking spaces. That's a great selling point.
54:05
Speaker 15: Yeah, but I think Trump and, you know, the Republicans
54:09
Speaker 15: use this, that the failure of the Canadian health system
54:14
Speaker 15: is driving people down.
54:15
Speaker 2: Well, they have used it. They've used it millions of times. But, Bill,
54:18
Speaker 2: we've got to go talk to anybody else. So thanks
54:21
Speaker 2: for calling. Take care. Let's go to Joanne in Glendale. Joanne,
54:26
Speaker 2: how are you doing?
54:28
Speaker 4: Good.
54:30
Speaker 17: Love your show, Mark.
54:31
Speaker 2: Thank you.
54:31
Speaker 17: I just wanted to make a comment about the woman
54:35
Speaker 17: who called from Brooklyn.
54:36
Speaker 2: The one who would only pay cash in the supermarket
54:39
Speaker 2: and won't use her credit card.
54:41
Speaker 19: Yes, that's me.
54:44
Speaker 17: So I agree with her. It's a great way to budget.
54:47
Speaker 17: I even pay cash for my gas, and I do
54:50
Speaker 17: pump my own gas. So I'm with her in paying cash.
54:54
Speaker 2: But you have a credit card, right?
54:57
Speaker 14: Yeah, I do.
54:57
Speaker 17: I have to.
54:59
Speaker 2: So you all have credit cards. What do you think
55:01
Speaker 2: it's for? This is what it's for.
55:04
Speaker 17: Only if I'm buying something big, like furniture or something
55:10
Speaker 17: big that I don't have a lot of cash. But otherwise, no.
55:13
Speaker 17: I like to pay cash for everything.
55:15
Speaker 15: Why?
55:18
Speaker 17: I guess it's just that I've always been like that.
55:22
Speaker 17: And like I said, it helps me budget. I take
55:24
Speaker 17: a certain amount of money out of the bank. And
55:26
Speaker 17: that's my money for the next two weeks. And that's
55:29
Speaker 17: what I spent.
55:30
Speaker 2: All right. That makes a little sense. But use a
55:32
Speaker 2: credit card once in a while.
55:35
Speaker 17: And, you know, I met you about 20 years ago.
55:37
Speaker 2: Must have been exciting, huh?
55:40
Speaker 17: Well, you know, I was so intimidated.
55:42
Speaker 4: Oh.
55:43
Speaker 17: It was you.
55:45
Speaker 6: It was me.
55:47
Speaker 17: Mark Levin and Sean Hannity in that bookstore in Huntington.
55:53
Speaker 2: Remember that bookstore in Huntington? Oh, my God. We did
55:56
Speaker 2: a book signing out there. It was so unbelievable. 7,000
56:00
Speaker 2: people showed up and gridlocked the entire town of Huntington.
56:05
Speaker 17: Well, I was one of them. Anyway, I miss that place,
56:09
Speaker 17: and I miss all the book signings.
56:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a great bookstore called Book Review, Huntington,
56:14
Speaker 2: Long Island. I'm trying to remember. I think it was
56:16
Speaker 2: Mark Levin's book that had come out, but we all
56:21
Speaker 2: promoted it on the air. It was me, Mark Levin,
56:24
Speaker 2: Sean Hannity, and Curtis Sliwa was there.
56:28
Speaker 11: Yes.
56:29
Speaker 17: Yes, Curtis Sliwa with his son. His son was little.
56:32
Speaker 2: And you will testify. that so many thousands of people
56:36
Speaker 2: showed up. There were like 3,000 outside that couldn't get in.
56:38
Speaker 2: And the whole town of Huntington was gridlocked all day.
56:42
Speaker 14: Oh, absolutely.
56:43
Speaker 17: Well, I got there hours early.
56:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
56:46
Speaker 17: I made sure I was in. There were people lined
56:51
Speaker 17: up for blocks.
56:52
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
56:53
Speaker 17: No, that was a great day. I miss those days.
56:55
Speaker 2: Actually, if you go on my Instagram and scroll back
56:59
Speaker 2: a few, I think it was a month or two ago,
57:01
Speaker 2: I put up a picture from that day.
57:04
Speaker 4: Oh, really?
57:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. Because you see how everybody looks different 20 years ago. Yeah,
57:11
Speaker 2: I know. All right. And you live in Huntington?
57:15
Speaker 6: No, I don't live in Huntington.
57:16
Speaker 17: I live in Glendale, Queens.
57:17
Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Very good. So see, people came from all over.
57:20
Speaker 17: I did grow up in Huntington, though.
57:23
Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for calling, Joanne. Take care. Let's go.
57:26
Speaker 2: Speaking of paying cash, let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
57:30
Speaker 2: how you doing?
57:31
Speaker 15: Mark, I'm calling you. You were chiding that gentleman yesterday
57:36
Speaker 15: who didn't want to use the credit card in his iPhone.
57:40
Speaker 15: These two women calling you about only using cash. Mark,
57:44
Speaker 15: that's all I use. Sometimes I use the credit card
57:47
Speaker 15: when I have a big medical co-pager to pay. In fact, Recently,
57:53
Speaker 15: I had to go to the dentist, and I fill
57:57
Speaker 15: out all my personal information. So the receptionist says, oh,
58:02
Speaker 15: you didn't fill out the information about your credit card.
58:05
Speaker 15: So I says, what for? She says, so that if
58:08
Speaker 15: you miss an appointment, we could dox your credit card.
58:11
Speaker 15: I says, look, first off, I'm not going to miss
58:13
Speaker 15: an appointment. And secondly, unless you're going to do something
58:18
Speaker 15: really big on me today where I have to pay
58:21
Speaker 15: for a crown, I'm not going to use a credit card.
58:23
Speaker 15: I pulled out the broccoli roll.
58:28
Speaker 2: Broccoli roll means a big wad of cash, and they
58:30
Speaker 2: take the rubber band from the broccoli, that big rubber band.
58:33
Speaker 15: Right, the Andy boy, the pink rubber band. So, she says, well,
58:37
Speaker 15: I don't know if we can serve you. She says,
58:39
Speaker 15: I gotta go speak to the boss, the dentist.
58:42
Speaker 2: Did she know who she was dealing with?
58:45
Speaker 15: Well, Mark, as you well know, Johnny Cash is still king.
58:50
Speaker 2: She went in to speak... Vincent, some people, there are
58:54
Speaker 2: reasons they want to use cash. We understand that. But
58:56
Speaker 2: Some harmless old lady, they don't need to use cash.
59:00
Speaker 15: I know, Mark. Well, she went in to see the
59:03
Speaker 15: dentist and the dentist poked his head out and he said,
59:06
Speaker 15: no problem because you know where that cash went? I
59:21
Speaker 15: never pay with a credit card. I pay with cash
59:23
Speaker 15: because what happens then, the concierge steals the money, and
59:28
Speaker 15: then they make your account disappear. You were never in
59:31
Speaker 15: the hotel.
59:31
Speaker 2: Because they took the money. They don't want a record
59:35
Speaker 2: of it. Vincent Travel Guide.
59:38
Speaker 15: It serves two purposes, Mark.
59:40
Speaker 2: Good call, Vincent. Excellent. Thanks for calling. Use a credit card.
59:45
Speaker 2: The only time you need cash when you're bribing the
59:47
Speaker 2: maitre d' or somebody, that's when you use cash. Anyway,
59:50
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to. Don't go away. 710WOR.
59:55
Speaker 2: Mark Simone. On 710WOR. Well, hey, a lot to get to.
1:00:07
Speaker 2: This crazy anti-Semitism that is all over the place, all
1:00:11
Speaker 2: over the world. It's all over New York. Yesterday, now
1:00:14
Speaker 2: it's the third anniversary of October 7th. the massacre of Jews,
1:00:18
Speaker 2: the Holocaust launched by Hamas. The protesters were all over
1:00:23
Speaker 2: the place. It was absolutely disgusting. These anti-Israel, really, really
1:00:28
Speaker 2: anti-Semitic protesters all over New York City, Columbia, NYU. Students
1:00:35
Speaker 2: walked out on the October 7th anniversary. They walked out.
1:00:40
Speaker 2: And again, Columbia, NYU, just horrible, horrible places filled with
1:00:44
Speaker 2: anti-Semitism now. And the students yelling, keep the Intifada alive.
1:00:50
Speaker 2: Resistance is justified. And they're all yelling from the river
1:00:54
Speaker 2: to the sea, which means eliminating Israel, which is absolute
1:00:58
Speaker 2: out and out anti-Semitism. Absolutely disgusting. These are Columbia NYU students.
1:01:04
Speaker 2: They're all wearing all that stuff. And they're holding banners
1:01:09
Speaker 2: calling for NYU to divest, shutter its Tel Aviv campus.
1:01:15
Speaker 2: They were chanting, long live the Intifada from the river
1:01:18
Speaker 2: to the sea. Palestine will be free. This is a
1:01:21
Speaker 2: river to the sea means eliminate Israel. Just wipe it out.
1:01:25
Speaker 2: So they're talking about Holocaust here. They're cheering for Holocaust.
1:01:30
Speaker 2: Andrew Ross, he's a professor at NYU's American Studies program.
1:01:36
Speaker 2: He's part of the faculty and staff for justice in Palestine. Now,
1:01:40
Speaker 2: this guy, this is an NYU professor. justified Hamas's bloody
1:01:47
Speaker 2: invasion on October 7th. Now remember, what Hamas did on
1:01:50
Speaker 2: October 7th was a holocaust. It was genocide. It was terrorism.
1:01:55
Speaker 2: It was disgusting. It was an awful attack that involved
1:02:00
Speaker 2: slicing the throat of babies, raping women. Andrew Ross, NYU
1:02:06
Speaker 2: professor of American studies, justified the attack. Justified it. He
1:02:11
Speaker 2: called it very tragic, but he went on to spread
1:02:15
Speaker 2: this stupid conspiracy theory that the Israeli defense forces killed
1:02:19
Speaker 2: some of their own citizens to make it look worse.
1:02:22
Speaker 2: Absolutely disgusting stuff. This is what goes on at NYU, Columbia.
1:02:29
Speaker 2: We know what goes on at Cornell. I mean, and
1:02:32
Speaker 2: how they handle it. You know, a lot of people,
1:02:35
Speaker 2: you'd probably tell you they went to Columbia. It's an
1:02:37
Speaker 2: embarrassing thing to admit now. I know people had a Cornell,
1:02:41
Speaker 2: you know, up on their wall. You've got to take
1:02:44
Speaker 2: that down now. Who wants to even mention anything about
1:02:46
Speaker 2: these places? All right, now listen to this. This is
1:02:51
Speaker 2: really disgusting. Members of Congress, congressmen, senators, congresswomen, they don't
1:02:59
Speaker 2: get paid a lot. I mean, it's $ 174, 000 a year.
1:03:03
Speaker 2: That's kind of a lot of money for most people.
1:03:05
Speaker 2: $ 174, 000 for a lot of people would be a hell
1:03:07
Speaker 2: of a lot of money. But if you're in Congress...
1:03:11
Speaker 2: You feel like you're one of the most powerful people
1:03:13
Speaker 2: on earth, that you should be making millions. They pushed
1:03:17
Speaker 2: for a raise. They've been unable to get a raise
1:03:20
Speaker 2: for years. Now, one thing about if you're in Congress
1:03:23
Speaker 2: with the Senate, it is a little tricky in that
1:03:26
Speaker 2: you do have to have two residences. Let's say you're
1:03:29
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. You have to have a house to live
1:03:32
Speaker 2: in in New York, and you've got to have a
1:03:33
Speaker 2: place to live in Washington, D.C. So that's an expense
1:03:38
Speaker 2: most people don't have. Now, what a lot of the
1:03:40
Speaker 2: Congress people do is when they go to D.C., they'll
1:03:42
Speaker 2: become roommates. They'll be like seven congressmen living in one apartment,
1:03:47
Speaker 2: one big apartment, or they'll all get a house together,
1:03:50
Speaker 2: kind of a Golden Girls kind of deal. They do
1:03:53
Speaker 2: do a lot of that, but what they're doing and
1:03:55
Speaker 2: what they've been doing for years, I don't think people
1:03:58
Speaker 2: are aware of this. Since they can't get a raise,
1:04:02
Speaker 2: members of the House are using their expense accounts to
1:04:06
Speaker 2: pay for everything, all their meals, their rent, All kinds
1:04:11
Speaker 2: of stuff. They're abusing it like crazy. It's been going
1:04:15
Speaker 2: on for years. Just charging everything to taxpayers. You won't
1:04:21
Speaker 2: give us a raise? We'll get our raise. We'll just
1:04:23
Speaker 2: bill you for everything in our life. Now, some of them,
1:04:26
Speaker 2: I just got one guy, Lance Gooden. He's a Republican
1:04:30
Speaker 2: from Texas. He kind of claims the record. He billed
1:04:35
Speaker 2: the taxpayers $ 73, 000. $ 73, 000. He charged his lodging, his meals, everything. Actually, no,
1:04:45
Speaker 2: wait a minute. $ 73, 000 for lodging, for his rent. $ 73, 000.
1:04:50
Speaker 2: Also charged $ 8, 000 in meals. So it's about $ 81, 000 that
1:04:57
Speaker 2: he charged to taxpayers. $ 81, 000 in expenses. Now, you can
1:05:01
Speaker 2: go all over the place. There's 37 lawmakers from New York,
1:05:04
Speaker 2: New Jersey, and Connecticut. that claimed almost $ 700, 000 in housing
1:05:11
Speaker 2: food reimbursements just last year. Here's Long Island representative Nick Lolota,
1:05:18
Speaker 2: Republican in New York, sought most of the group. $ 30, 000
1:05:23
Speaker 2: in reimbursements. $ 30, 000 on his expense account. This is what
1:05:28
Speaker 2: they do, these congressmen and women. They just bill us
1:05:32
Speaker 2: for everything. Who do they think they are? The Clinton Foundation?
1:05:35
Speaker 2: Billing everybody for their food and meals and lodging. The
1:05:40
Speaker 2: White House? They're going to announce the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow.
1:05:45
Speaker 2: The Nobel Prize is the most ridiculous, biased award in
1:05:49
Speaker 2: the world. It's a very, very, very biased left-wing award.
1:05:55
Speaker 2: Do you remember that Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize?
1:06:00
Speaker 2: For nothing.
1:06:01
Speaker 6: Nothing.
1:06:01
Speaker 2: He got elected president. The next day they gave him
1:06:04
Speaker 2: the Nobel Peace Prize. He hadn't even started the job yet.
1:06:07
Speaker 2: Hadn't even taken office yet. How could you get a
1:06:10
Speaker 2: peace prize when you haven't even started? For absolutely nothing.
1:06:14
Speaker 2: And as President Trump likes to point out, he's already
1:06:16
Speaker 2: settled like seven wars around the world. He's freed like
1:06:20
Speaker 2: two countries, Venezuela and other. No peace prize. No peace prize.
1:06:24
Speaker 2: In fact, a woman that won it last year, the
1:06:27
Speaker 2: Venezuela leader, felt so guilty. She took her Nobel Peace
1:06:31
Speaker 2: Prize and gave it to Donald Trump. He has it
1:06:34
Speaker 2: now in the White House. But who's going to get it?
1:06:38
Speaker 2: It's only for left-wingers, only real left-wing people. They're the
1:06:43
Speaker 2: only ones eligible for a Nobel Prize. So some think
1:06:47
Speaker 2: the new Pope, Pope Leo, is very left-wing. Some people
1:06:51
Speaker 2: think Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada will get it.
1:06:54
Speaker 11: Why?
1:06:54
Speaker 2: Because he's fighting with Trump. He's a left-wing guy, and
1:06:57
Speaker 2: he's a big Trump opponent. Mrs. Navalny, remember Navalny, the
1:07:08
Speaker 2: Russian guy that was put in prison? He was a
1:07:11
Speaker 2: political opponent. They imprisoned him. They think his wife, the widow,
1:07:15
Speaker 2: might get it. Melania Trump is being praised for her
1:07:18
Speaker 2: work all over the world. I'm sorry, her name is Trump.
1:07:20
Speaker 2: Not eligible. Not eligible. But again, Trump has settled a
1:07:25
Speaker 2: number of wars. He got all the hostages back. He
1:07:30
Speaker 2: got all the hostages returned. Nobel Prize?
1:07:33
Speaker 6: Nope.
1:07:34
Speaker 15: Nope.
1:07:35
Speaker 2: They gave out the Nobel Prize in Literature today for
1:07:37
Speaker 2: a Canadian poet. And you can keep reading about this woman,
1:07:41
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what the hell did she do
1:07:43
Speaker 2: to get a Nobel. It says she translated the classic
1:07:47
Speaker 2: Greek poem. I got a Google translator. I'll do that
1:07:49
Speaker 2: for you in a half a second. She translated Greek,
1:07:53
Speaker 2: a classic Greek poem. You get a Nobel Prize for that?
1:07:56
Speaker 2: You're kidding. You're kidding. Used to call that plagiarism, didn't they?
1:08:01
Speaker 2: I mean, you're translating somebody else's work. I'm sure she's
1:08:04
Speaker 2: a good poet. I'm sure she's very smart. But Nobel
1:08:07
Speaker 2: Prize in literature. Don't be fooled. Hey, you know who
1:08:09
Speaker 2: has a Nobel Prize? The world's worst economist. The world's
1:08:13
Speaker 2: most slanted, biased, one of the dumbest guys on earth.
1:08:16
Speaker 2: What's his name? That bug-eyed weirdo. Paul Krugman. Remember the
1:08:19
Speaker 2: New York Times economist? He's famous for one thing as
1:08:24
Speaker 2: an economist. Everything he's ever predicted has been wrong. Literally
1:08:27
Speaker 2: everything he ever predicted. The opposite happened. He's a complete idiot.
1:08:31
Speaker 2: Nobel Prize in economy. Hey, we got a lot coming up.
1:08:35
Speaker 2: Don't go away. Don't forget at noon, Buck Sexton and

1:09:03
Speaker 2: Well, hey, today, nicest day of the week. And it
1:09:07
Speaker 2: might actually be the nicest day for the rest of
1:09:11
Speaker 2: the year. It's going to be really, really nice. 75
1:09:14
Speaker 2: and sunny today. Take advantage of it. 75 and sunny today.
1:09:20
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's Friday. It'll be 70 and sunny. Saturday, it'll be
1:09:24
Speaker 2: 70 and mostly sunny. Now, here's the problem. Sunday and
1:09:28
Speaker 2: Monday are going to have rain. Rain on Sunday and Monday.
1:09:31
Speaker 2: Turns out it's that hurricane. This is the remnants of
1:09:35
Speaker 2: a hurricane, so we get that every now and then.
1:09:38
Speaker 2: So you're going to have a beautiful Friday, Saturday. Sunday
1:09:41
Speaker 2: and Monday, you're going to have a lot of rain.
1:09:43
Speaker 2: But today, nicest day probably for the rest of the year. And,
1:09:48
Speaker 2: you know, the year is going fast, really fast. It's
1:09:50
Speaker 2: almost Halloween. There's pumpkin everything everywhere. The skating rink in
1:09:55
Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center opens in a few days. It's going real fast. So, hey,
1:10:00
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to in the next hour.
1:10:03
Speaker 2: We'll get back to that Palestinian restaurant. Yeah, Mamdani, last night,
1:10:08
Speaker 2: Palestinian restaurant. Everybody now talking about this place. We'll get
1:10:13
Speaker 2: to that coming up in the next hour. Also, the economy,
1:10:16
Speaker 2: what's the real deal, the real story? We'll get to
1:10:19
Speaker 2: that more right after the news. It's Mark Simone, 9
1:10:22
Speaker 2: to noon every day, 710WOR.
1:10:25
Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone.
1:10:32
Speaker 2: Well, hey, the president, President Trump, will be going crazy
1:10:36
Speaker 2: now in the next 26 days, campaigning, rallies every day.
1:10:42
Speaker 2: Traveling all over the country. Every day traveling somewhere. This
1:10:46
Speaker 2: is what it means to be, as he would say,
1:10:48
Speaker 2: a great closer. You come alive at the end. 16th, 17th,
1:10:53
Speaker 2: 18th hole, you go crazy. You really come to life.
1:10:57
Speaker 2: And that's something not factored into the polls. The president
1:11:01
Speaker 2: will be working his tail off to get this done.
1:11:06
Speaker 2: He's got rallies every day. He gets on a plane
1:11:09
Speaker 2: and flies to another state. Now today, I'm looking at
1:11:11
Speaker 2: the schedule. It's actually going to be a tele-rally. Sometimes
1:11:16
Speaker 2: it's a Zoom meeting, not an in-person meeting, but he'll
1:11:19
Speaker 2: be doing that. So even today, there's going to be
1:11:21
Speaker 2: a rally. And then as we get to the weekend,
1:11:23
Speaker 2: he'll be flying all over the place. Now, Wednesday, he
1:11:26
Speaker 2: went to Texas to do a big rally, and he
1:11:29
Speaker 2: had the great pitcher Roger Clemens introduce him. Clemens is
1:11:34
Speaker 2: a Texas native, and that's pretty cool. You have Roger
1:11:36
Speaker 2: Clemens introduce you at the rally. The people there love
1:11:40
Speaker 2: Roger Clemens, so But Clemens got quite a surprise. You know,
1:11:45
Speaker 2: he was asked, would you introduce President Trump at the rally?
1:11:49
Speaker 2: He thought that's all it was. So he gives the
1:11:52
Speaker 2: president a big introduction. President gets up there and does this.
1:11:55
Speaker 2: And then he says to Roger Clemens, come back up here.
1:11:59
Speaker 2: And he had quite a surprise for him. He awarded
1:12:01
Speaker 2: him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Clemens was stunned. It's
1:12:06
Speaker 2: an amazing thing to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Now,
1:12:14
Speaker 2: are you supposed to get that for being a great pitcher?
1:12:18
Speaker 2: I guess. Well, actually, if you think about it, they
1:12:20
Speaker 2: give it to singers. They give it to comedians. Yeah,
1:12:25
Speaker 2: if you're really great at whatever you do, if you're
1:12:27
Speaker 2: just an American who's really distinguished themselves and become one
1:12:31
Speaker 2: of the very best in your field, yeah, that's when
1:12:33
Speaker 2: you get a Presidential Medal of Freedom. So good for
1:12:37
Speaker 2: Roger Clemens. He got one. Bad for the New York Yankees. Well,
1:12:42
Speaker 2: we knew this was going to happen. I mean, we
1:12:46
Speaker 2: thought maybe they'll win one game at home and then they'll,
1:12:49
Speaker 2: you know, there was no way they're going to win
1:12:51
Speaker 2: the series. They were three behind. And they were up
1:12:55
Speaker 2: against the greatest team in baseball right now. They're not
1:12:57
Speaker 2: going to win three in a row. So they lost
1:13:00
Speaker 2: last night. There was one home run. High fly ball.
1:13:02
Speaker 8: Left field.
1:13:03
Speaker 2: Over is Mason.
1:13:05
Speaker 1: It's carrying back to the wall.
1:13:11
Speaker 2: It is up. It is out. It's a home run.
1:13:18
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpe has tied it.
1:13:21
Speaker 2: Ah, there you go. See? Now the Yankees are going
1:13:24
Speaker 2: to win. Well, all kinds of things happen. What was
1:13:27
Speaker 2: that weird interference call?
1:13:28
Speaker 8: After review, we have spectator interference.
1:13:34
Speaker 5: In addition, the left fielder would not have made the catch.
1:13:38
Speaker 11: Therefore, we have one run scoring.
1:13:40
Speaker 8: And the batter runner.
1:13:41
Speaker 2: Is placed at second base.
1:13:44
Speaker 1: Ah.
1:13:45
Speaker 2: Was that the one that looked like a home run
1:13:46
Speaker 2: and he was about to catch it? You know, they
1:13:49
Speaker 2: call it spectator interference. If you're sitting in the stands,
1:13:52
Speaker 2: and this guy's way out in the right field seats,
1:13:55
Speaker 2: and the ball's coming right at you, you're going to
1:13:57
Speaker 2: reach up and try to catch it. It's perfectly normal.
1:14:00
Speaker 2: It's not interference. He was trying to catch it. That's
1:14:04
Speaker 2: the only thing you can hope for. When you're way
1:14:05
Speaker 2: out there in the outfield sitting there, maybe you'll catch
1:14:09
Speaker 2: a ball. That's about it. So the Yankees lost. It's
1:14:11
Speaker 2: the end of the season. And that's it. And well, hey,
1:14:17
Speaker 2: at least they got in the playoffs. That's something. So
1:14:22
Speaker 2: Mamdani tried this tightrope act last night, walking right between
1:14:27
Speaker 2: the two, the anti-Semites, the anti-Israel crazies, and then trying
1:14:35
Speaker 2: to appease Jews by going to the, there was a
1:14:39
Speaker 2: vigil for those massacred on October 7th by Hamas. So
1:14:44
Speaker 2: Mamdani went to the vigil. And because of that, he
1:14:48
Speaker 2: got booed like crazy by his supporters, his base, the anti-Semites.
1:14:56
Speaker 2: And then it's the anniversary of October 7th. He puts
1:15:01
Speaker 2: up this ridiculous anti-Semitic nonsense on Twitter, the most awful
1:15:06
Speaker 2: anti-Semitic attack on Jews, attack on Israel on Twitter at
1:15:10
Speaker 2: the same time. So when he got to the vigil,
1:15:13
Speaker 2: all the Jews booed him. He was getting booed by
1:15:15
Speaker 2: anybody and everybody. You know, he tried to do that
1:15:19
Speaker 2: little high wire act where you play both sides, and
1:15:22
Speaker 2: it blew up in his face. So then, to make
1:15:27
Speaker 2: up for it, he goes to a Palestinian restaurant. And
1:15:31
Speaker 2: it's on the Upper West Side. They make sure the
1:15:35
Speaker 2: press is there, and they put out pictures of him. Now,
1:15:37
Speaker 2: what does that mean? A Palestinian restaurant? What the hell
1:15:40
Speaker 2: is a Palestinian restaurant? What, do they throw rocks at
1:15:43
Speaker 2: you when you're sitting there? A Palestinian restaurant. Actually, what
1:15:46
Speaker 2: does the New York Post say? Oh, here it is.
1:15:50
Speaker 2: Palestinian restaurant. The New York Post said, it's harm to table.
1:15:57
Speaker 2: Palestinian restaurant. Apparently, it's a disgusting place. It's an anti-Semitic restaurant.
1:16:04
Speaker 2: On the menu, here's a copy. Somebody's taking a picture
1:16:06
Speaker 2: of the menu. Right on the menu, the big headline is,
1:16:11
Speaker 2: you know how they'll say surf and turf, and so
1:16:15
Speaker 2: their big headline is, from the river to the sea.
1:16:19
Speaker 2: Now that's an anti-Semitic phrase that means wipe out Israel,
1:16:22
Speaker 2: but it's on the menu, big letters, from the river
1:16:25
Speaker 2: to the sea. Here's the menu. Shrimp kebab, served over
1:16:31
Speaker 2: rice with a side of potatoes and salad, $ 23. Salmon kebab, $ 26,
1:16:39
Speaker 2: whole red snapper, market price, I don't know, Palestinian restaurant
1:16:47
Speaker 2: named after somebody a child killed on October 7th. Disgusting place.
1:16:52
Speaker 2: But that's where Mom Donnie was proudly dining last night.
1:16:57
Speaker 2: Just a horrible, horrible situation having a vicious anti-Semite as mayor.
1:17:04
Speaker 2: Can you imagine having a racist mayor? An out-and-out, open,
1:17:07
Speaker 2: racist mayor. Well, you got basically what you have now.
1:17:10
Speaker 2: In this case, anti-Semitic. Absolutely awful. A bigot as mayor.
1:17:15
Speaker 2: Never thought we'd actually see this. We also got a
1:17:19
Speaker 2: bird brain as governor. Now, the problem was nobody was
1:17:23
Speaker 2: paying the subway fare. Everybody's jumping the turnstile. How do
1:17:27
Speaker 2: you fix a thing like that? Well, you probably just
1:17:30
Speaker 2: look back at Rudy Giuliani, Bill Bratton, Ray Kelly. It
1:17:34
Speaker 2: took them about a week to fix it. And what
1:17:36
Speaker 2: they did was they started arresting all the turnstile jumpers.
1:17:40
Speaker 2: They put cops down there. You jump the turnstile, you
1:17:43
Speaker 2: got arrested. You know, one thing about these criminals, they
1:17:46
Speaker 2: got quite a network. They all talk to each other.
1:17:49
Speaker 2: And if you're Bill de Blasio or Eric Adams or
1:17:53
Speaker 2: one of these Democrats, you don't enforce the turnstile jumping.
1:17:56
Speaker 2: So they all do it. They just jump over the turnstile.
1:18:00
Speaker 2: They know nothing's going to happen. So they do it.
1:18:03
Speaker 2: And this was going on years ago. And then when
1:18:05
Speaker 2: Giuliani came in, He and Bratton started arresting them one
1:18:09
Speaker 2: by one. They arrested them all. Within two weeks, word
1:18:11
Speaker 2: spread around, don't jump the turnstile. And it stopped just
1:18:15
Speaker 2: like that. No more jumping the turnstile. That's the way
1:18:18
Speaker 2: you do it. That costs a little overtime with some cops.
1:18:23
Speaker 2: And when you do that, you're going to arrest hundreds
1:18:25
Speaker 2: and hundreds and hundreds at a time. So you have to,
1:18:27
Speaker 2: I think back then, Giuliani, they got buses, big buses,
1:18:31
Speaker 2: and used those as processing centers where they could Take
1:18:35
Speaker 2: hundreds of these people down and process them. But you
1:18:37
Speaker 2: can do it. It takes about two weeks. Word gets around.
1:18:40
Speaker 2: It stops. Now, what is Kathy Hochul doing? She's spending
1:18:46
Speaker 2: a fortune, millions and millions and millions. to put in
1:18:50
Speaker 2: new fair gates well why not just spend thousands and
1:18:54
Speaker 2: have the cops arrest them oh well because this is
1:18:57
Speaker 2: millions this is contracts you can hand out to donors
1:19:01
Speaker 2: this is spending this is what she likes to do
1:19:04
Speaker 2: that's her type of government you spend like crazy the
1:19:07
Speaker 2: MTA run by a bunch of idiots led by that
1:19:10
Speaker 2: awful Jano Lieber. So she debuted her gates. It's a big, huge, glass,
1:19:19
Speaker 2: pexiglass gate. She says the MTA loses roughly $ 350 million
1:19:27
Speaker 2: every year from fair beaters. Well, then it's worth spending
1:19:30
Speaker 2: a million on cops. Stop it instantly. You can stop
1:19:34
Speaker 2: it in a week. But instead, they're spending a fortune
1:19:37
Speaker 2: on these gates now. So far, 20 have been installed.
1:19:40
Speaker 2: It's a pilot program. She was showing them off. And
1:19:44
Speaker 2: they're going to do 20 more subway stations now. So
1:19:47
Speaker 2: at this rate, they'll have the gates up everywhere within
1:19:51
Speaker 2: 10 years, maybe. And it'll cost a fortune out of
1:19:55
Speaker 2: your paychecks. But this is the Hochul way. And, you know,
1:20:01
Speaker 2: same thing with the shoplifting and the drugstore and everywhere.
1:20:05
Speaker 2: That's why everything's locked up. The shampoo is locked up.
1:20:08
Speaker 2: The razor blades are locked up. You want some aspirin.
1:20:10
Speaker 2: You want some NyQuil. It's locked up. You got to
1:20:13
Speaker 2: ring a bell for the manager. You got to wait
1:20:15
Speaker 2: for 10 minutes for the manager to come over with
1:20:18
Speaker 2: the key, unlock it. It's a pain in the neck.
1:20:22
Speaker 2: If you just started to, the reason we have to
1:20:25
Speaker 2: do this, it was decided by Elvin Bragg and Cuomo
1:20:28
Speaker 2: and all these left-wingers not to enforce the shoplifting. They
1:20:34
Speaker 2: said under $ 1, 000, no arrests. So they've trained. These are
1:20:39
Speaker 2: professionally organized gangs. They've trained armies of kids to come
1:20:42
Speaker 2: in with big hefty bags and steal $ 999 worth of stuff.
1:20:47
Speaker 2: And that way there's no arrest, nothing. And that's why
1:20:50
Speaker 2: it happens. If you started arresting them for any shoplifting, again,
1:20:53
Speaker 2: word would get around in two weeks and it would
1:20:55
Speaker 2: all stop. They've done that. They started doing that in
1:20:58
Speaker 2: San Francisco. It stopped instantly. Hey, that stupid Starbucks, this
1:21:05
Speaker 2: is one messed up company. Starbucks pretty much invented the
1:21:09
Speaker 2: business of very high-end coffee shop, very special, all kinds
1:21:14
Speaker 2: of incredible things on the menu. But a lot of
1:21:17
Speaker 2: other chains sprung up. They're all over the place now.
1:21:21
Speaker 2: There's Gregory's Coffee, a guy from Connecticut named Gregory started it.
1:21:26
Speaker 2: They're big. They're all over the tri-state area. What's that
1:21:28
Speaker 2: one over there, Blank Street or whatever it's called or
1:21:31
Speaker 2: There's a couple of them that are much better. And
1:21:34
Speaker 2: everybody's going, you see the line there. And then down
1:21:37
Speaker 2: the block, you see the empty Starbucks. So remember about
1:21:41
Speaker 2: two years ago, they started rebuilding all the Starbucks. They
1:21:44
Speaker 2: tried to make them look better, look more sleek. Well,
1:21:47
Speaker 2: that wasn't the problem. The problem was the quality. The
1:21:50
Speaker 2: problem was the price was too high. Well, look at this.
1:21:53
Speaker 2: Starbucks now closing 250 stores, 17 in New York alone.
1:22:02
Speaker 2: Many in New York City, you know, if you've got
1:22:04
Speaker 2: a coffee shop in New York City and you can't
1:22:05
Speaker 2: make it, you've really got a problem. There's also mass
1:22:09
Speaker 2: layoffs that took place at Starbucks. They just axed about
1:22:14
Speaker 2: 1,000 corporate staffers, laid off 300 non-retail employees. 1,000 locations
1:22:23
Speaker 2: have been redesigned. It's pretty stupid. You know, remember years
1:22:27
Speaker 2: ago the strategy was, you open a Starbucks every two blocks.
1:22:34
Speaker 2: That didn't work out. So five years later, they spent
1:22:36
Speaker 2: a fortune remodeling them. Now they're going to spend the
1:22:39
Speaker 2: next three years closing them. And it couldn't happen to
1:22:42
Speaker 2: a more annoying company than Starbucks. Hey, many New Yorkers
1:22:49
Speaker 2: are really fed up with the taxes here. Now, Blakeman
1:22:53
Speaker 2: has tied Kathy Hochul in the real polls, not the
1:22:56
Speaker 2: fake public ones. In the real polls, They're both within
1:23:00
Speaker 2: the margin of error. So it's basically tied. There's an undercurrent.
1:23:04
Speaker 2: There's like an undertow in all of this that the
1:23:09
Speaker 2: polls and people and the fake news don't measure. And
1:23:11
Speaker 2: that's it. People are a little disgusted with the taxes,
1:23:15
Speaker 2: the spending, the affordability. And they're not blaming Bruce Blakeman
1:23:18
Speaker 2: for it. He's just the opposite. Nassau County has never
1:23:21
Speaker 2: raised taxes. Hochul's raised taxes. Hochul's come up with schemes
1:23:26
Speaker 2: like congestion pricing. But look at this latest survey. How
1:23:31
Speaker 2: many people are really fed up? It turns out it's
1:23:34
Speaker 2: like 88%. 88% are furious about the taxes. Now, listen
1:23:38
Speaker 2: to this. 64% of New Yorkers, registered voters, 64% believe
1:23:47
Speaker 2: we should abolish all state income tax. You can do that.
1:23:51
Speaker 2: It's easy to do. You don't need state income tax.
1:23:54
Speaker 2: They do it in Florida, Texas, and a lot of places.
1:23:57
Speaker 2: And they make more revenue than we do. You can
1:24:00
Speaker 2: do it. You don't have to have a state income
1:24:02
Speaker 2: tax because if you get rid of it, everybody comes
1:24:04
Speaker 2: running in here. Now, the only problem is if you
1:24:07
Speaker 2: get rid of the state income tax, everybody's going to
1:24:09
Speaker 2: want to move here. That's more than half the reason
1:24:13
Speaker 2: everybody moves to Florida or Texas to get away from
1:24:16
Speaker 2: the tax. But 64% want no state income tax. And again,
1:24:22
Speaker 2: it's easy to do. Nine states now. Nine states have
1:24:26
Speaker 2: no state income tax. And if you go to any
1:24:28
Speaker 2: of those nine states, they're booming. Their economy is better
1:24:32
Speaker 2: than ours. Everything is better. They got more revenue coming
1:24:36
Speaker 2: in than we do. You just don't have to spend it.
1:24:39
Speaker 2: We spend like, I think it's $ 400 billion between state
1:24:43
Speaker 2: and New York City. The budget together, $ 400 billion. Should
1:24:48
Speaker 2: be about $ 120 billion. The rest of that is just
1:24:51
Speaker 2: waste and fraud. You get rid of that. And you
1:24:54
Speaker 2: don't need any state income tax. You make plenty of
1:24:57
Speaker 2: money on sales tax, property tax, all that sort of stuff. Now,
1:25:02
Speaker 2: Blakeman has already said if he wins, he's going to
1:25:06
Speaker 2: try to eliminate all state income tax on anybody under $ 50, 000.
1:25:11
Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 a year for married couples. It'll cost about $ 35 billion.
1:25:16
Speaker 2: But again, we could easily cut $ 100 billion out of
1:25:19
Speaker 2: the budget. He wants to lower the top tax rate.
1:25:23
Speaker 2: from 6% to 4%. Don't be surprised if this turns
1:25:27
Speaker 2: out to be the secret sauce that Blakeman's going to
1:25:30
Speaker 2: win on, that people are fed up with the taxes.
1:25:33
Speaker 2: They may not be telling pollsters, but we'll see. We'll
1:25:36
Speaker 2: take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
1:25:37
Speaker 6: 800-321-0710.
1:25:37
Speaker 4: 710WOR.
1:25:49
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
1:25:57
Speaker 2: Let's go to Terry, New York City. Terry, how you doing?
1:26:03
Speaker 4: Hi.
1:26:04
Speaker 2: Hi, Terry.
1:26:04
Speaker 19: This is actually Tori.
1:26:05
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry.
1:26:06
Speaker 18: I'm calling because.
1:26:07
Speaker 2: Tori, Tori, Tori. I'm sorry.
1:26:09
Speaker 18: Tori, that's okay. I'm calling because you were talking about
1:26:12
Speaker 18: the high cost of the expenses of our congressmen and senators.
1:26:17
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:26:18
Speaker 18: Why do they have to stay in Washington now that
1:26:21
Speaker 18: we have FaceTime and Zoom meetings? Why does it have
1:26:24
Speaker 18: to be that they have to be there all the time?
1:26:26
Speaker 2: Well, you can't have it all pandemic-like. They've got this
1:26:31
Speaker 2: beautiful Capitol and these beautiful chambers, and don't you want
1:26:35
Speaker 2: them to use the building?
1:26:37
Speaker 18: I understand that, but they could use it a few
1:26:40
Speaker 18: times a year and then know who they're representing, actually
1:26:44
Speaker 18: live in the communities themselves.
1:26:46
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they do do that in the state
1:26:49
Speaker 2: assembly and legislature here. It's a part-time job. You only
1:26:52
Speaker 2: go up there like once a week or once every
1:26:53
Speaker 2: couple weeks. You could do that. And then what do
1:26:57
Speaker 2: we do with the Capitol? Rent it out for weddings
1:26:59
Speaker 2: and bar mitzvahs? What do we do with it?
1:27:00
Speaker 6: There you go.
1:27:02
Speaker 17: I'm just saying, then the lobbyists wouldn't have as much
1:27:05
Speaker 17: ability to get to them.
1:27:07
Speaker 11: Oh.
1:27:08
Speaker 17: It could be.
1:27:09
Speaker 2: Well, that's the reason they have to be in Washington,
1:27:11
Speaker 2: so the lobbyists can. Take them to lunch and dinner
1:27:13
Speaker 2: and send them women and do all that stuff. A
1:27:17
Speaker 2: lot of stuff goes on there. Money's passed around.
1:27:19
Speaker 17: I think so.
1:27:20
Speaker 12: I think so.
1:27:20
Speaker 6: All right.
1:27:21
Speaker 11: Well, I just wanted to share that.
1:27:23
Speaker 2: Good point, Tori. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Tom
1:27:30
Speaker 2: in Queens. Tom, how are you doing?
1:27:33
Speaker 6: Hey, Mark.
1:27:33
Speaker 9: Good morning.
1:27:34
Speaker 2: Yes. Go Buchanan. You can tell. No, we can't.
1:27:39
Speaker 9: Oh, AI. What's really going to take a hit, if
1:27:43
Speaker 9: it's not already, is the camera industry and the phones
1:27:46
Speaker 9: and the cell phones. What do you mean?
1:27:48
Speaker 11: The pictures that they take.
1:27:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:27:51
Speaker 9: Well, they use AI in some of the editing on
1:27:53
Speaker 9: these phones and along with the pictures that you take,
1:27:56
Speaker 9: which is amazing. It's going to put a lot of
1:28:00
Speaker 9: camera industry.
1:28:00
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but you still have to have the camera
1:28:02
Speaker 2: to get the picture that you want to use AI on.
1:28:07
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, I use my cell phone, but I
1:28:09
Speaker 9: used to use Olympus. I used to go out and
1:28:11
Speaker 9: buy Olympus cameras.
1:28:12
Speaker 2: Well, the only problem with that, in all the testing,
1:28:17
Speaker 2: from the iPhone 17 on and then the 18, all
1:28:21
Speaker 2: the testing shows it's equivalent now of a Canon or
1:28:24
Speaker 2: a Nikon camera in pixels, quality, definition, all that. There
1:28:28
Speaker 2: you go.
1:28:28
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:28:29
Speaker 2: Well.
1:28:30
Speaker 9: That's my point.
1:28:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point.
1:28:32
Speaker 9: It's going to take a real hit on them.
1:28:35
Speaker 2: No, you're right. You're absolutely right. Well, thanks for calling.
1:28:39
Speaker 2: You know, it used to be film cameras with film
1:28:42
Speaker 2: in them. You know, I've been a photographer all my life,
1:28:44
Speaker 2: had all these great Nikons and everything. And then we
1:28:47
Speaker 2: all went to digital cameras. And then I was going
1:28:50
Speaker 2: to get rid of all the film cameras. And I said,
1:28:52
Speaker 2: I wonder how much they're worth. And if you want
1:28:53
Speaker 2: to know, just go on eBay, see what they're selling for. Well,
1:28:57
Speaker 2: a top Nikon film camera. I look on eBay. It's
1:29:00
Speaker 2: selling for about $ 8. $ 9. They're not worth anything. You
1:29:05
Speaker 2: had to throw them all out. Now, he's right. At
1:29:07
Speaker 2: some point, you're going to throw out all those great
1:29:09
Speaker 2: Nikon and Canon and Olympus digital cameras, but it's going
1:29:16
Speaker 2: to be a while. The only time you still see
1:29:19
Speaker 2: them used, professional photographers at the wedding, because you look
1:29:22
Speaker 2: silly if you're just using your phone. If you're going
1:29:24
Speaker 2: to charge them $ 1, 000 to be the photographer... You've got
1:29:27
Speaker 2: to have a big camera and lights and everything. Let's
1:29:30
Speaker 2: go to Vera in New York. Vera, how are you doing?
1:29:32
Speaker 19: How are you doing?
1:29:34
Speaker 4: I'm good.
1:29:35
Speaker 19: I was calling you to, how do they do polling?
1:29:38
Speaker 19: Because I've been voting since I was 17 years old,
1:29:43
Speaker 19: and I'm 89. And nobody never polled me.
1:29:47
Speaker 2: Well, you can't poll everybody, but there are people. I've
1:29:52
Speaker 2: been contacted by polls. It's happened.
1:29:56
Speaker 19: Okay, they never contacted me. Okay, that was my first question.
1:29:59
Speaker 2: I think it's just you. I think they just don't
1:30:01
Speaker 2: like you. It's just you, personally.
1:30:03
Speaker 19: You know, since I was 17, I voted everything, special elections,
1:30:08
Speaker 19: everything I voted. But the second question I wanted to
1:30:11
Speaker 19: ask you, this year I went to vote for my
1:30:14
Speaker 19: primary at my polling site.
1:30:16
Speaker 2: Already?
1:30:17
Speaker 19: When I went to vote, and I went in, you know,
1:30:20
Speaker 19: and I gave them my card and everything, and they
1:30:22
Speaker 19: gave me, I'm a Republican. OK, they gave me a ballot.
1:30:27
Speaker 19: And so when I looked at them, like, well, this
1:30:29
Speaker 19: is the wrong ballot. And they were there. Ain't no
1:30:31
Speaker 19: Republicans running. I'm like, OK, then I can't vote. And
1:30:34
Speaker 19: they said, you can do it after David. I'm like,
1:30:37
Speaker 19: how can I do it after David? I'm not a
1:30:40
Speaker 19: I'm not a Democrat.
1:30:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is OK. This is tampering. Where was this
1:30:44
Speaker 2: polling place?
1:30:45
Speaker 19: This is in Washington Heights.
1:30:48
Speaker 2: Ah, okay, they're screwing around with the polling and giving
1:30:51
Speaker 2: you the wrong thing deliberately.
1:30:53
Speaker 19: Yes, sir, but I'm smart enough to know that. So
1:30:55
Speaker 19: I say, I can't do that.
1:30:56
Speaker 12: That's fraud.
1:30:57
Speaker 2: No, you sound like a pretty.
1:30:58
Speaker 19: Yeah, so anyway, I just wanted to, you know.
1:31:01
Speaker 6: No, that's good.
1:31:02
Speaker 2: You sound like a pretty sharp woman, Vera. Very good.
1:31:06
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Yeah, they do sometimes screw around, give
1:31:08
Speaker 2: you the wrong ballot, do that kind of stuff. Let's
1:31:10
Speaker 2: go to Barbie in New Jersey. Is that your name, Barbie?
1:31:14
Speaker 15: Yeah, hi.
1:31:15
Speaker 2: Like the doll?
1:31:16
Speaker 6: Hi, Mark. Yes.
1:31:18
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
1:31:19
Speaker 12: So I want to know what your opinion is of
1:31:23
Speaker 12: Judge Napolitano.
1:31:25
Speaker 2: Very nice guy. Very, very nice guy.
1:31:29
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:31:29
Speaker 2: What's the matter? You want me to attack him? He's
1:31:31
Speaker 2: a friend of mine. I can't attack the guy.
1:31:33
Speaker 12: He doesn't seem like he likes Trump.
1:31:36
Speaker 2: I don't think he does. I think he's anti-Trump. Well,
1:31:38
Speaker 2: that has nothing to do with anything. That's fine.
1:31:42
Speaker 6: He does.
1:31:44
Speaker 2: Some of my best friends hate Trump.
1:31:45
Speaker 12: What's going on? Do you know the latest on what's
1:31:48
Speaker 12: going on with Maria Bartiromo? Do you know if she's
1:31:51
Speaker 12: going to pop up anywhere?
1:31:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, she'll pop up somewhere. She's actually having a good
1:31:54
Speaker 2: time right now. You know, you don't realize to do
1:31:57
Speaker 2: that show, she had to get up like at three
1:31:59
Speaker 2: in the morning every day. You know what that's like
1:32:02
Speaker 2: getting up?
1:32:02
Speaker 12: Maybe she's happy.
1:32:03
Speaker 2: You know, I got to get up at seven in
1:32:05
Speaker 2: the morning to do this show and it's killing me.
1:32:07
Speaker 2: It is killing me.
1:32:08
Speaker 12: My goodness.
1:32:09
Speaker 2: I've never gotten up that early in my life. It's
1:32:11
Speaker 2: killing me.
1:32:12
Speaker 12: Mark, you should have. It started at 9 a long
1:32:14
Speaker 12: time ago.
1:32:15
Speaker 15: Oh, please.
1:32:15
Speaker 12: I don't know how you got away with that.
1:32:17
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, the show's pretty good 9
1:32:20
Speaker 2: to noon, but getting up that early. So for her,
1:32:23
Speaker 2: getting up at 3 in the morning, now she can
1:32:24
Speaker 2: sleep as long as she's actually enjoying herself. She'll pop
1:32:27
Speaker 2: up and she'll get something.
1:32:29
Speaker 12: I like her.
1:32:30
Speaker 2: She's a very nice person. Right now she's happy and
1:32:33
Speaker 2: doing fine. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk to
1:32:36
Speaker 2: the brilliant economist Steve Moore. And we'll get the truth
1:32:40
Speaker 2: about affordability. We'll get the truth about taxes and all
1:32:43
Speaker 2: this stuff coming up on 710WOR. Mark Simone.
1:32:49
Speaker 12: Mr.
1:32:49
Speaker 2: New York.
1:32:50
Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
1:32:58
Speaker 2: Well, the great economist Steve Moore, he's got a wonderful
1:33:03
Speaker 2: book that you should read. It's called The Trump Economic Miracle.
1:33:07
Speaker 2: It'll explain a lot to you. He runs the Committee
1:33:10
Speaker 2: to Unleash Prosperity. Every day they put out the best
1:33:12
Speaker 2: daily briefing and analysis. You'll love this. It's free. It'll

1:33:23
Speaker 2: Steve Moore, how are you doing?
1:33:26
Speaker 6: Hey, Mark.
1:33:26
Speaker 11: I'm doing well. Getting ready for the big elections a
1:33:28
Speaker 11: month away.
1:33:29
Speaker 2: 30 days. Yeah, Democrats, you know, they're running on affordability.
1:33:33
Speaker 2: Wasn't it Donald Trump that first ran on affordability years
1:33:36
Speaker 2: ago and they've stolen his issue from him?
1:33:39
Speaker 11: Well, if you look at, yeah, this is the issue
1:33:42
Speaker 11: of the day and no question about it. And I
1:33:45
Speaker 11: think the elections will really be decided on which party
1:33:49
Speaker 11: people think are more going to give people a better
1:33:52
Speaker 11: bang for their buck. And it's interesting because if you
1:33:56
Speaker 11: look at the inflation rates now and how much things cost, food, housing, gasoline,
1:34:02
Speaker 11: and so on. Did you know 80% of the increase
1:34:04
Speaker 11: in the prices that people are paying happened under Biden,
1:34:08
Speaker 11: not Trump?
1:34:09
Speaker 6: 80%.
1:34:10
Speaker 11: So, you know, that's point number one. Point number two,
1:34:13
Speaker 11: you know, we've seen incomes in Trump's first two years
1:34:19
Speaker 11: in office run ahead of inflation to the tune of
1:34:24
Speaker 11: about $ 2, 000. Now, in the last three or four months,
1:34:26
Speaker 11: that's reversed. And so, you know, people's Paychecks have not
1:34:30
Speaker 11: kept pace with inflation, but for the first 14 months
1:34:33
Speaker 11: they did. But the other point I would make is
1:34:36
Speaker 11: if you look at the six states that have the
1:34:39
Speaker 11: highest cost of living, the least amount of affordability, you
1:34:43
Speaker 11: know which states those are?
1:34:44
Speaker 2: No, let me guess. Blue states.
1:34:46
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:34:47
Speaker 11: New York, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Illinois. So
1:34:53
Speaker 11: we're going to put, if you're concerned about affordability, which
1:34:55
Speaker 11: we all are, You're going to put the people who
1:34:57
Speaker 11: can't do anything about affordability in their own states in power?
1:35:01
Speaker 11: It doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, so
1:35:04
Speaker 11: Trump cut taxes with his big, beautiful bill. That was
1:35:08
Speaker 11: a $ 2, 000 basically pay increase, after-tax pay increase for workers.
1:35:14
Speaker 11: Democrats want to get rid of that. They all voted
1:35:16
Speaker 11: against that.
1:35:17
Speaker 2: Hey, there's a study that came out. 64% of New
1:35:22
Speaker 2: Yorkers think we should get rid of the state income
1:35:24
Speaker 2: tax and have no state income.
1:35:26
Speaker 4: What? Really?
1:35:28
Speaker 2: Yeah. And that can be done, right? You can do that.
1:35:33
Speaker 11: Well, I have not seen that study. You're going to
1:35:36
Speaker 11: send that to me, Mark, because that's amazing. What was
1:35:38
Speaker 11: the number?
1:35:39
Speaker 2: 64% don't want to have state income tax.
1:35:43
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, so people might think, gee, well, how
1:35:46
Speaker 11: is New York going to survive without a state income tax?
1:35:48
Speaker 11: But guess what? We have eight states. across the country.
1:35:51
Speaker 11: We used to have nine, but Washington just adopted an
1:35:54
Speaker 11: income tax. The fool's out there on the West Coast.
1:35:56
Speaker 11: But we have eight states today, including New Hampshire, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Wyoming, Nevada,
1:36:05
Speaker 11: and one or two others that escape me right now.
1:36:08
Speaker 11: I think South Dakota has no income tax either. So
1:36:11
Speaker 11: these states, you know, they have roads, they have hospitals,
1:36:14
Speaker 11: they have schools, you know, they've got all the public
1:36:19
Speaker 11: infrastructure you need. Florida, actually, as you know, we've talked
1:36:22
Speaker 11: about this many times on your show, has no income tax.
1:36:25
Speaker 11: They spend half as much money on government per capita
1:36:30
Speaker 11: as New York does, and yet they have better services
1:36:33
Speaker 11: in Florida than they do in New York.
1:36:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they have a bigger population. They've got more
1:36:37
Speaker 2: major cities than New York does.
1:36:39
Speaker 10: Yep, yep.
1:36:40
Speaker 11: So this would be such a... a shot of steroids
1:36:47
Speaker 11: into the butt of the New York economy, if they
1:36:49
Speaker 11: could do that, it would be such a game changer.
1:36:52
Speaker 11: I don't think Kathy Hochul is likely to do that,
1:36:55
Speaker 11: but you put the Republicans in, they might go for that.
1:36:59
Speaker 11: I mean, it would be so revolutionary. I mean, even
1:37:03
Speaker 11: to think about it, if New York added their income tax,
1:37:06
Speaker 11: oh my God, you would see so many people reversing.
1:37:09
Speaker 11: They're right now on the road you know, going to
1:37:12
Speaker 11: Georgia or Alabama or Florida or Texas, they just reverse
1:37:15
Speaker 11: and they get back on the highway and go right
1:37:17
Speaker 11: back to New York. I mean, New York has lost
1:37:19
Speaker 11: 2 million people. You know, New York has lost, their
1:37:21
Speaker 11: population loss in the last 12 years exceeds the entire
1:37:26
Speaker 11: population of Manhattan.
1:37:28
Speaker 2: What? Oh, my God.
1:37:30
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:37:30
Speaker 11: That's how many people have left. 2.15 million people have
1:37:34
Speaker 11: left New York over the last 10 years.
1:37:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, but wait a minute. If they come back, It's
1:37:39
Speaker 2: already crowded. It's already gridlock here. What will we do
1:37:42
Speaker 2: with all these people?
1:37:44
Speaker 11: Well, you know, it's going to be depopulated pretty soon.
1:37:47
Speaker 11: And then you've got, you know, the upstate areas in
1:37:50
Speaker 11: New York that are getting clobbered by the income tax.
1:37:51
Speaker 11: They won't drill for, you know, you've seen those charts
1:37:54
Speaker 11: we have in our hotline that show that, amazingly, you've
1:38:00
Speaker 11: got all the drilling is going on right on the
1:38:03
Speaker 11: Pennsylvania and New York border in Pennsylvania, but none of
1:38:06
Speaker 11: it's going on in the Senate. New York, so they're
1:38:08
Speaker 11: digging down in Pennsylvania and they're going laterally underneath New
1:38:13
Speaker 11: York and taking out all your oil.
1:38:14
Speaker 6: Wow.
1:38:16
Speaker 2: Hey, and people might not realize, besides the state tax,
1:38:19
Speaker 2: we're paying climate tax, aren't we? We're all paying it.
1:38:24
Speaker 2: Which tax? Climate tax. We're paying for all this green stuff. Oh, well,
1:38:27
Speaker 2: so this is the new thing.
1:38:29
Speaker 11: This is very scary. So, you know, the climate movement
1:38:33
Speaker 11: has sort of, most people sort of move beyond climate change.
1:38:35
Speaker 11: It was yesterday's, you know, scare tactic. But, you know,
1:38:39
Speaker 11: they haven't given up on this. And they've lost elections. And,
1:38:42
Speaker 11: you know, people go, wait, you want to raise my
1:38:43
Speaker 11: gas price to $ 8 a gallon with all these taxes
1:38:46
Speaker 11: you want to put on, you know, energy? So the
1:38:49
Speaker 11: new thing is all of these left-wing interest groups and
1:38:52
Speaker 11: the trial lawyers are getting together, and they want to
1:38:54
Speaker 11: sue Exxon for the fact that they have a drought
1:38:59
Speaker 11: in Iowa or for the fact that they have the
1:39:03
Speaker 11: forest fires in California and so on. Well, Exxon didn't
1:39:06
Speaker 11: do that. They're trying to blame all of these, quote,
1:39:09
Speaker 11: climate crises on the Exxon and Chevron and oil companies.
1:39:14
Speaker 11: And what worries me, if you get some liberal courts–
1:39:17
Speaker 11: Here in America, they might side with the environmentalists, and
1:39:24
Speaker 11: they want to sue these companies for billions and billions
1:39:26
Speaker 11: of dollars. Well, if you sue Exxon and Chevron for
1:39:30
Speaker 11: billions of dollars, do you think that's going to lower
1:39:33
Speaker 11: the price of gasoline?
1:39:35
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:39:36
Speaker 2: It's just amazing what these politicians get away with.
1:39:41
Speaker 11: Well, it used to be like, remember the big payday
1:39:44
Speaker 11: that the trial lawyers had was when they sued the
1:39:46
Speaker 11: tobacco companies. Remember, that was, what, 30, 40 years ago.
1:39:49
Speaker 11: So they've been waiting for the next tobacco bonanza. So
1:39:53
Speaker 11: now they want to sue the oil companies. There's one difference.
1:39:55
Speaker 11: Cigarettes kill people. Oil does not kill people. It makes
1:40:00
Speaker 11: life on Earth possible.
1:40:03
Speaker 2: Wow. Hey, for all this money this green scheme has raised,
1:40:07
Speaker 2: have they accomplished anything as far as making the environment better?
1:40:11
Speaker 11: Well, that's the thing that they now admit, you know,
1:40:13
Speaker 11: that the– now they're saying, oh, the temperature is going
1:40:16
Speaker 11: to even rise faster than we thought even after spending
1:40:20
Speaker 11: trillions and trillions of dollars on climate change. So it's
1:40:22
Speaker 11: made no difference whatsoever. But guess what? It's made a
1:40:25
Speaker 11: lot of people very, very rich. And, you know, climate
1:40:28
Speaker 11: change is a good business to be in because it's
1:40:31
Speaker 11: sort of the– it's a big racket. And so I
1:40:36
Speaker 11: call it the climate change industrial complex. Like we used
1:40:38
Speaker 11: to have the military industrial complex. Now it's the climate
1:40:41
Speaker 11: change industrial complex.
1:40:45
Speaker 2: Nuclear power. We got rid of our nuclear plant here
1:40:47
Speaker 2: in New York, thanks to Cuomo. And that was 25%
1:40:49
Speaker 2: of our energy. But talk about how Google, there's other
1:40:54
Speaker 2: places using small, effective nuclear power.
1:41:00
Speaker 11: So this is a really amazing story, the comeback of nuclear.
1:41:03
Speaker 11: Do you remember? I think you're old enough to remember, Mark,
1:41:07
Speaker 11: the movie China Syndrome.
1:41:09
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
1:41:10
Speaker 11: With Jane Fonda. And I have to say, I mean,
1:41:12
Speaker 11: that movie probably single-handedly destroyed the nuclear industry for 30 years.
1:41:17
Speaker 11: It scared people. I remember watching it. I don't want
1:41:20
Speaker 11: nuclear power. I'm going to get cancer. And so, you know,
1:41:24
Speaker 11: it was all basically just fake news. But as a
1:41:28
Speaker 11: propaganda tool, it sure worked well. I mean, we didn't
1:41:31
Speaker 11: build a nuclear plant for 25 years after that. Well, now,
1:41:35
Speaker 11: guess what? For the first time in 30 years, more
1:41:40
Speaker 11: Americans favor nuclear power than oppose it. So Americans now
1:41:44
Speaker 11: realize it was just a big hoax. And so we
1:41:47
Speaker 11: should be building nuclear power. It's a great way to
1:41:49
Speaker 11: get energy. We're going to need energy for our you know,
1:41:52
Speaker 11: technology future. And, you know, it's clean, it's efficient, it's cheap,
1:41:57
Speaker 11: and nuclear plants don't, unlike solar and wind power, which
1:42:00
Speaker 11: take up thousands and thousands of acres of land, you know,
1:42:03
Speaker 11: nuclear power takes up maybe 20 acres, not 2,000 acres.
1:42:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable.
1:42:11
Speaker 11: So Google is building a big nuclear plant now to
1:42:17
Speaker 11: help fund and provide the power for the power centers
1:42:21
Speaker 11: and these data centers that they need to build around
1:42:25
Speaker 11: the country. And that makes a lot of sense to me.
1:42:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Steve Moore, great as always. You should get

1:44:00
Speaker 2: to hit the West Coast, the panhandle of Florida and Alabama.
1:44:04
Speaker 2: You remember... People were saying that ever since we called
1:44:07
Speaker 2: it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico,
1:44:12
Speaker 2: ever since Trump renamed it Gulf of America, no hurricanes. Well,
1:44:16
Speaker 2: this is the first one. There's a big hurricane coming
1:44:18
Speaker 2: through there. There's another hurricane that we'll get the remnants
1:44:22
Speaker 2: of it over the weekend. Sunday and Monday, we'll get
1:44:26
Speaker 2: some rain as a result. Otherwise, it's going to be
1:44:28
Speaker 2: a beautiful day today. Really nice. Maybe the nicest day.
1:44:32
Speaker 2: for the rest of the year. It's going to be
1:44:34
Speaker 2: sunny and 75 today. So that'll be, that'll be good.
1:44:38
Speaker 2: And then a beautiful Friday, Saturday, and then Sunday, Monday,
1:44:41
Speaker 2: expect some rain, result of a hurricane. Trump administration, you know,
1:44:46
Speaker 2: they got a great relationship with all the tech companies,
1:44:50
Speaker 2: all the heads of the tech companies, the people you'd
1:44:53
Speaker 2: think would be so anti-Trump. They're always there in the
1:44:55
Speaker 2: White House, whether it's Apple or Zuckerberg or Bezos, they're
1:45:01
Speaker 2: so friendly and they're all there with Trump all the time. Well,
1:45:04
Speaker 2: it looks like there's trouble between the Trump administration and Microsoft.
1:45:09
Speaker 2: In fact, the visa program, Microsoft has been cut off
1:45:13
Speaker 2: from the program. Trump administration says Microsoft's been something about fraud, abuse.
1:45:20
Speaker 2: So look for a brewing battle, Microsoft versus the Trump administration.
1:45:26
Speaker 2: And this Bill Gates is not helping either. with his
1:45:29
Speaker 2: wild ranting and yelling and screaming and huffing and puffing.
1:45:33
Speaker 2: Gates on the Sunday show is yelling, AI is going
1:45:35
Speaker 2: to kill everybody and all. Now, this could be what's
1:45:39
Speaker 2: known as Operation Change the Subject. Gates trying to get
1:45:43
Speaker 2: everybody to forget about him and Epstein and start thinking
1:45:45
Speaker 2: about him as the AI guy, the guy that booked
1:45:48
Speaker 2: to talk about AI. Anyway, we're out of time. Don't forget,
