Hour 2:Lindsay Clancy Juror · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, it's the second hour, by the way. If you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: just joined us, you missed the first hour. Remember, it's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: 9 to noon, 9 a.m. to noon every day, three
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: hours every day. Mark Simone here. A lot to get to. Now,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the governor's race, you got Kathy Hochul, who is driving
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: everybody nuts, possibly. I was going to say the worst
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: governor ever. You got to still give that title to Cuomo. Yeah,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Hochul is awful. But remember, it was Cuomo that pushed
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this no bail, no jail on us, creating the crime wave. Remember,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it was Cuomo that started this whole thing about closing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: all the prisons and letting the prisoners out. Remember, it
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: was Cuomo that shut down Indian Point, which tripled our
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: electric bills instantly. You know, Hochul's very bad, but you
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: got to give Cuomo the award for worst governor ever.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman started the race for Far behind, 25
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: points behind. The next thing you know, he's 15 points behind.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Then the next thing you know, he's 10 points behind.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Now it looks like he's somewhere around five points behind
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and catching up. But this was his pattern in Long Island,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: which has the same Democratic makeup, Nassau County, as the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: state of New York. And he came from behind and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: won and won big. So expect that to happen here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to him in the next hour. But the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: problem is money. You know, Kathy Hochul has raised $ 22 million,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and she'll get another $ 20 million from the DNC. It's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of money to campaign with. Blakeman, I think
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he's up to $ 12, $ 13, $ 14 million. So the problem
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is a lot of the big donors, in fact, all
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the big donors, would rather have Blakeman. You talk to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: any of the big, big donors in New York, they
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: all would rather have Blakeman. But many of them are
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: afraid to donate because they do business here, and they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: don't want to upset Kathy Hochul. It could affect their business.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But some guys, they don't care. Take James Dolan, who
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: owns Madison Square Garden, the Knicks, the Rangers, Radio City,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: all that. Dolan has put together a super PAC with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars, and they've been taking out ads everywhere
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: denouncing Kathy Hochul. They're about to launch billboards, huge billboards
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: all over the city denouncing Hochul. So good for Dolan,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of good here. There's another super PAC
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: with millions of dollars. They're going to jump in and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: back Blakeman. So that's going to help a lot. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: just Blakeman on his own, great candidate. The race really
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: starts now after Labor Day. Once you get through Labor Day,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of campaigning in the summer,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but this is where it really heats up. Hochul has
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: agreed to one debate. Hopefully she'll agree to more. Problem
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with that one debate, it's on New York One, which
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is the most biased left-wing channel in the world. The
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: other problem is nobody sees New York One. That's why
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Hochul chose it. But as I say, Blakeman will be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with us later. We'll see if he's pushing for that
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: second debate, if they think they can get it. Hey,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the U.S. Open is over. Yesterday was the last day.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness. They'll be leaving all these tennis players. Now,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the next thing to come, I guess it's September 18th
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to the, yes, next week. Actually, it starts, when's the 18th?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's Friday, Saturday. And it goes for 10 days.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: This is the UN General Assembly. That's where all the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: world leaders come to New York. It is the biggest
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: traffic nightmare of the year. Not just around the U.N.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You remember these, it's a nightmare around there, but you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: remember these world leaders stay at all the top hotels
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in New York. So all over the place, tremendous security.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: A lot of them stay at the Waldorf. Some of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: them stay at the Pierre, the Four Seasons, the St. Regis.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So you can see massive, massive gridlock everywhere. That's September
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: 18th through the 28th. Netanyahu coming to visit, of course,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for the U.N. General Assembly. Remember, Mamdani has threatened to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: arrest him. Now, he has no authority to arrest Netanyahu.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump has said, absolutely not, Netanyahu will not, he said,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in no way, shape, or form face arrest. President Trump
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and the federal government will protect him the entire time
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: he's here. Now, how could Mamdani arrest him? Well, he's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: claiming that because he was convicted in the International Criminal
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Court They've issued an arrest warrant for him. Sounds pretty impressive,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't it? The International Criminal Court. Well, it's not a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: real thing. It actually is. It's just a bunch of guys.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: They call themselves the International Criminal Court. They have no
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: legal authority to do anything. The U.S. doesn't recognize them.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Most countries don't recognize them. It's just a bunch of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: left-wing kooks in, where are they? In somewhere in the Netherlands,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere there's this international criminal court has absolutely no authority.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It's not a real court. It doesn't mean anything. You
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: can't arrest somebody based on that. President Trump has made
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that clear. Mamdani, when he campaigned, that was one of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: his promises that he would arrest Netanyahu. When he was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: first mayor, he doubled down on it. But even he's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: quietly admitting that. He doesn't have any power to do this.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And that's the good thing about Mamdani. As terrible as
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the guy is, luckily, he gets nothing done. You'll never
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: see free buses. He can't arrest Netanyahu. You'll never see
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: these grocery stores. They'll never actually get built. Nothing he
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: does will ever actually happen. So, Lindsay Clancy looking for
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a plea deal. The lawyer all over television trying to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: scare the prosecutors not to recharge her. I don't think
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that's going to work, but he keeps pushing for that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And this DA's office doesn't usually do plea deals, but
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we'll see. There was that one lone juror who held out. Now,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of times this guy becomes, whoever the lone
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: juror is, becomes the villain because he screwed up the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: whole thing. But in this case, where he said he
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: had reasonable doubt, you can understand it. I understand the argument.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: She had psychological problems, the medication, something, but she did
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: strangle her three kids. She strangled and killed and choked
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to death her three little children, including a baby. So
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I could see where somebody is not going to let
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that go. Somebody's going to convict. One juror held out.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Now you got this awful, evil Gayle King, who in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: real life is one of the nastiest, awful women you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: could ever meet, this Gayle King. And everything is race
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: with her. So there was one juror that held out.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And I kept hearing about this one lone juror. It
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: never occurred to me to ask, is it a man?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Is it a woman? I don't know. I just never,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I certainly never thought, oh, is it white
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: or black? But leave it up to Gayle King to ask.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And she got all upset at the answer. She's interviewing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: one of the jurors who talked about the lone juror.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And then Gayle King, well, take a listen. One person
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of color, was a person of color a woman or
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a man?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: A man.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: A man.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Is a holdout juror? A person, a black man?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yes. A black man is a holdout juror? Yes. Well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I have to sit with that for just a second.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: First time you ever heard Gayle King speechless. He's black?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I have to sit with that for a moment. What
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: do you have to sit with? What's the difference? Who
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: cares what color he is? Sounds like a reasonable guy.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: who said, I can't acquit somebody who just murdered and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: choked to death and strangled their three children. I can't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: acquit on them. It's not, there's no racial component to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this in any way. How the hell does she, but
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: as I say, if you ever spend any time with
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Gayle King, she's the nastiest, most awful, awful woman you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: could ever run into in real life. Hey, uh, Celine
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Dion made her big comeback. She hasn't performed in years.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: She has terrible medical problems. Looks like she's overcome them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: She had this awful disease. She's been fighting it. She's been,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I guess she's better. She's been going to therapy for
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: some time and she was going to come back, make
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: her comeback. And she did it in Paris, France, a residency.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You know how Billy Joel did Madison Square Garden, you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that residency. She's going to do the same thing. at
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the plenitude arena in Paris. That is actually, it's right
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: outside Paris. It's in the Western suburbs. She's going to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: do a 26 show residency. Now this is a big arena.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It holds about 35,000 people. I hear they're squeezing in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: about 40,000 for her. So to sell 26 shows out
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of that, that's pretty amazing. A lot of people went
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: over there, flew over to Paris. If you follow certain
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: people on, uh, social media. There's Susan Lucci. There's Joan London.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: There's Sarah Lee. What's her name? They're all over there
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: for the big opening night. It was quite an opening night.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It was quite dramatic. This arena, again, I think it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: actually right now the largest indoor arena in Europe, bigger
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: than the Olympic Stadium in Moscow. In fact, they hosted
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: some of the 2024 Summer Olympics in this arena. But
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Celine Dion came out. Obviously, Standing ovation that went for
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: 10 minutes. And then she was very dramatic. She said
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: she didn't want to cry. I made a promise.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I made a promise to come back and to be
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: back on stage. So here I am.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she did cry. But I won't stop. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I guess this was the big hit of the night.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: This song was very dramatic. You remember the song All
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: By Myself? 1976, I.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Think.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Eric Carman. He used to be with the Raspberries. It
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: was this big, big solo hit, but she does it now,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and it was the high point of the concert. Oh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: by myself.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: And in my.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Now you're going to read how she did it. Oh,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: she did a two-hour show. It was amazing. 90 minutes
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of it was applause, standing ovation. So she really didn't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have to actually sing that much. But good for her.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: She's back, and it's a great thing. So she'll do
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: all these shows over there. Then eventually she'll be here.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I would imagine it's Madison Square Garden when she gets
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to New York. So, hey, summer. You've got eight days
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: left of summer. Eight days left. Terrible flooding over the weekend.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: really bad in Fairfield County, Stanford, Darien, Westport, tremendous flooding.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Cars had to be rescued. It was just, just awful. Uh,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the iPhone, well, uh, it's selling like crazy. The new
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: iPhone pro, uh, the 18, the 18 is the big seller.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The 18 pro max selling like crazy. The orders are unbelievable.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: If you were, uh, uh, Ordering like the first day,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Saturday was the first day you could order. You'll get
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it like in a week or two. If you try
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to order now, it's middle of October, maybe late October.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: They're so backed up on orders. The foldable phone, eh,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: not doing so well. Most reviewers who got the foldable phone,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: where you unfold it and it's a bigger screen, basically
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: said it's great for a while. The novelty wears off.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Some people need it. If you really... need a bigger screen,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you just get the iPad Mini. It's the same size
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: as the foldable, and it's actually better. It works better.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I don't need to unfold a phone and have it
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: be bigger. The only good explanation I've heard is some people,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: if they need in their business, they use big charts
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: or diagrams or spreadsheets or whatever. They need that big screen.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: But outside of that, you really don't. Now, a lot
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of reviewers are saying if you have the iPhone 17,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the current one, You don't really need to upgrade unless
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you want a much better camera. The camera is better
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: if you need more storage, if you need more speed. Well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: then upgrade. But for normal use, the 17 is pretty close.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: One big difference with the 18, much longer battery. The
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: battery could go 35, 40 hours. It could go almost
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a day and a half. So if you care about
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: battery life, if your battery is always running out, get
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the 18. Much better. Hey, we were talking about this before.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: celebrities leaving the United States. It's always a celebrity nobody
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: cares about. You remember that Rosie O'Donnell left the United
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: States for many, many months. Anybody notice?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: No.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Did it affect anybody?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: No.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It's always somebody out of work who's not doing anything.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So the latest celebrity to leave is Art Garfunkel. That's right.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He's still alive. Art Garfunkel. He's actually 84. He told
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the British publication, The Guardian, that he is Leaving. Because
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of the country's stance on key issues, he's looking for
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: another country to move to. Garfunkel expressed concern about climate change. Remember,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: this guy's a singer who's probably been stoned half his life,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: but he's concerned about climate change. You see, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you might be saying, well, there's climate change. Who would
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: think they're kidding with this climate change? A guy like
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Art Garfunkel is very concerned. So he'll go to another
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: country where I guess he thinks they don't have climate change.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Who knows with him? He's concerned about international affairs and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: other political issues. You see, you always get these guys, Garfunkel,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: IQ of 90, maybe. It's a good singer. Good singer. Uh,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he said the planet is getting warmer. The water's rising.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: We've been hearing this for 30 years. The water hasn't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: done anything. It's basically the same. In fact, uh, you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: check any weather, whatever weather we have, we have the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: same exact weather at a million other points in history.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And he said, so many people are starving. What does
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that have to do with politics? And why now? Why
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: does he leave me now? He said, now listen to this.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: When Donald Trump took over Venezuela, I said to myself,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: are these the new rules? Just take over a country
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and run it? Well, apparently he's not familiar with how
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that all came about. That was not what happened at all.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Not what happened at all. But he's leaving. I know
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: many people are upset. What are we going to do
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: without Art Garfunkel? Does he even do anything anymore? Has
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: he even performed in years? Did anybody know he was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: still alive? You know, see, the other problem he has,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he used to be a big star. You know, he
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: could walk into a restaurant. Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Garfunkel. Now,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: when he walks into a restaurant, the maitre d' is
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: always 30 years old and doesn't know who the hell
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: he is. And even if you told him, he wouldn't
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know who the hell he is. It's His hits were
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: like 25 years before they were born. Anyway, we'll take
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. We'll take some
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: calls next. We always love to hear from new callers.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone here on 710WOR. Hey, let's take some calls.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710. 0-7-10.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Pam in New Jersey. Pam, how you doing? Hi.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got another airport, John Wayne Airport.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're right.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You're right. Airports named for celebrities. Very few. There's a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: John Lennon Airport, a Bob Hope Airport, a John Wayne Airport. Absolutely.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Very good. Yeah, thanks for that. I forgot. As we
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, they have now voted unanimously to name the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Nashville Airport after Dolly Parton. A lot of airports named
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: after presidents and senators and politicians. Very few after celebrities.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara, how are you doing?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: So good. Thank you, God. Mark, I'm curious to know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: these women jurors and the ladies in the pink jackets
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: showing all this compassion for Lindsay, who her lawyer calls
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: a wonderful mother. I would love to know if they
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: would let her babysit.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. Very good point. Yeah. This
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: lawyer deserves a lot of credit for being able to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: get this stuff out of his mouth with a straight face.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: He said, I know Lindsay. She's like a daughter. She's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a wonderful mother, except for the choking her kids to death.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: She's a wonderful mother. But this guy, this lawyer is
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: 75 years old, end of his career. He doesn't have
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a good track record. He hasn't won a lot of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: big cases. He, uh, You need some good note to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: go on, go out on, and this will be it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Let's go to John in Manhattan. John, how you doing?
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Who's you?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Hello, John.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Who's you, Mark?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: John, what happened? You fall down a well? We can
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: hardly hear you.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not in the well.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I'm here in Manhattan.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You sound like you're 20 feet from the phone.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a speakerphone.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a... Millions of, several million people are listening.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: How many people have to be listening before you'll actually
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: pick up the phone and walk into it?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: One.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I have the invitation.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Ziggy.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: You know Ziggy, right?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Well, wait. If you're going to get that far away,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: hang on. Let me get that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Far away from the microphone.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I'll go far away, too. How's that?
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I have the invitation.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: To what?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Her name was requested to be deleted by DJT.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Ah, there you go. Anybody know what the hell she's
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: talking about? Where's that Google translator? Huh?
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Why would.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want to call him the president, but DJT
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: requested you to be deleted. All right, let's try to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: translate this. DJT is Donald.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Trump.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Okay, I think you better hang up the phone.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: You better hang up before the attendants catch you making
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: this call.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: So.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: We've got to get an unlisted number. Hey, what happened?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: There's no calls.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: 800.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: What's the number? 800-321-0710. Call us.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, we were talking about Apple before and their new products,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the foldable phone. They're getting attacked by, especially Samsung is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: taking out ads against them, saying, well, they've just taken
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: our left. They're warming over our leftovers. They're copying us.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And I see some people picking up on that. Look
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: at Apple. They're copying Samsung with the foldable phone. Just
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to correct the record, Apple always, always waits for other
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: companies to come out with stuff, new technologies, new products.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: before they do it they always let somebody else do
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it first and then they come along and do it
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: much better so for instance the iPhone was not the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: first smartphone there was the palm trio there were a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of smartphones and Apple watches these companies with their
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: smartphones and And then they just come out and make
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the ultimate one. And iPad was not the first tablet. Remember,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Vision Pro made the... Well, iPad was... There were plenty
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: of tablets. Apple watches that. Then they come out with
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the best tablet of all. Same thing with the Vision Pro.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: That was not the first mixed reality headset. And the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: list goes on and on. Every product they made, they
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: let somebody else make it first. And then they perfected.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Tim in Hartsdale. Tim, how are you doing?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Hi, how are you doing? Yeah, I was called with
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: another celebrity airport.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Of course, you're right. Absolutely. Louis Armstrong was from New Orleans. Yeah, Pops.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Lived in Queens while he was a big star. But, yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: you're right. Absolutely. Okay, thanks. That's a good one. Yes,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: celebrity airports, very few. John Lennon Airport, Liverpool. John Wayne Airport,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Orange County. Bob Hope Airport, Burbank. There'll now be a
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton Airport, Nashville, Tennessee. Let's go to Eric in
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. Eric, how you doing?
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Good show, as always.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Listen, as far as the phones go, I mean, I've
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: always had an Android phone. I just purchased one a
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: month ago. The Samsung Z 48 is fantastic.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And you can see it in daylight.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You can see it in the daylight, not like the
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: other phones I had. And I'm 74, and I'm still
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: figuring this thing out. So many things. So my daughter
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: helped me set it up. But, you know, I'm tech savvy,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: but I love it. I love it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: But Android's a good phone. But when you pick up
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: an iPhone and hold it, don't you feel the difference?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Hardware's better.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tiny.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the hardware's better.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: This opens up to like a 4x4, almost like a
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: mini tablet also.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Or just a standard. It's a good phone for a price.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Now that's a good point. Yeah, if you're older and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you need the letters bigger, the tablet, the foldable phone,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: much better for you. Let's go to Greg, Long Island. Greg,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Wanted to talk real quick about Tiger Woods' case.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I'm concerned about the idea that he can get better
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: by going off into anonymity in a hidden place and
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: get better and come back and the judge thinks he's
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: doing his job. What Tiger really needs, if I may say,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: having done this myself as a judge, is to put
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Tiger and people of similar cases in what's known as
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: a drug court, where they have a team assigned to them,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: a probation officer, a drug counselor, and they report back
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: to the court in person every couple of weeks. And
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: the judge makes a determination of whether the sentence should
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: be imposed or held further in abeyance until he makes
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: further improvement. That would incentivize him to succeed because he's
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: on the path where 85% or more of the people
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: who do it his way and the way that this
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: judge is doing it have relapses. They fall apart. It's
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: a path to oblivion, the way they're doing it and
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: the way most drug treatment is done.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense. It's a very good idea.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: You were a judge. That makes a lot of sense.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: But remember, this is Florida where things are a little screwy,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: especially in their courts. And Tiger's a powerful guy and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: can maneuver around. Where are you in Long Island?
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I'm on North Fork out in Jamesport.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Whoa, you're way out there. Very good.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Great places to eat, by the way. Cliff's Rendezvous.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of other.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Places that I think if you get out here, you'd
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: love it. It's where God's country is still holding on.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I know, but it's so far away. You go to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Nassau County, you've got a million great places to eat.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Why do I need to go all the way out
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to Cliff's Rendezvous?
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Because you have a beautiful Long Island Sound a couple
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: of miles one side and a beautiful Peconic Bay estuary
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: system on the other side.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Right, but you go to Oyster Bay, you've got a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: beautiful Long Island Sound right there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but do you have farm country? We're one of
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: the leading farming counties still in the state, and we've
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: got a lot of that farming preserved for good. In
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: the Development Rights Program right on the North and South Forks.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: South Fork is different.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: You should be on the Chamber of Commerce. You're a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: good salesman for that. All right. Great call, Greg. Thanks
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: for calling. I don't want any farm country, do I? No,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Oh, when we come back, we'll
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: talk to the greatest columnist in America, Michael Goodwin. He'll
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: be with us next. It's the Mark Simone Show. Live
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: from the WOR LifeVac Studios. Well, the best columnist in America,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: without question, Michael Goodwin in the New York Post every Sunday,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday. All of his columns are up on the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: New York Post website. Michael Goodwin, how you doing? Do
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: we have him there? Michael Goodwin?
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, now I can hear you.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Now we got you. So, OK, great column about. So
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the left is now weaponizing 9-11. Is that really the case?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: It's pretty remarkable when you think about it. But the
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: New York Times, of course, is very resourceful in pushing
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: its agenda. And in this case, it argues that there
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: is a wave of Islamophobia in New York City right now.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Did you know that, Mark?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: And apparently it's just as bad now, even though we
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: have a Muslim mayor, the first in history, It's just
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: as bad now as it was after 9-11. And surely
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: you remember how New Yorkers marauded through Muslim neighborhoods, killing
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and burning. You remember that, right? That same Islamophobia hatred
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: is now going on in New York City, according to
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: the New York Times. It did not have any statistics
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: to back that up. But it had the feelings of
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Muslims who felt scared. And then it was almost such
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: a pathetic story. The next day, the Times wrote how incidents,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: anti-Semitic incidents against Jewish New Yorkers are soaring. And all
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: kinds of statistics.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Without a mention of the Islamophobia. As I say in
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: the column, it's like somebody at the time who woke up,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: the Friday article, woke up Saturday morning and said, this
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous, this is crazy. We have to do a better,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: we have to, the real problem is that Jews are
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: being attacked, that synagogues have to hire extra security. There's
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: no mention anywhere in this second story a mosque or Islamophobia.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: It's almost like they have two different views of what's happening.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: And the second view was closer to accurate. But I
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: wonder who's really running this place if they think 9-11
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: is a good day to run a false story about
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Islamophobia sweeping New York. I mean, what's going on there?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Who's You know, is it the gremlins who have gotten
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: to the keyboard and it's a moment of a raid
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: on the computer system? Or are they just a bunch
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: of lousy reporters who hate New York?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Well, in their defense, they do run fake stories all
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: year long. It's not just 9-11. They're always writing fake stories. But, hey,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you used to work there. It's true that.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: They discovered genocide in Gaza, right? So they're very good
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: at finding things that don't exist. Not so good on
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: the truth. I did work there, Mark, and it was
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: a great experience.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: In my life.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I met many people. I held up the standards of journalism.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I learned a lot from them. Unfortunately, the New York
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Times is not the same place. is now run by advocates,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: by leftists, and the reporters through their union have exercised
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: control over what gets published, what's in the news, who's
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: running the newsroom. And if you don't agree with their
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: mob mentality, which is anti-white and anti-Jewish, it's progressives all
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: the way. Then, of course, you are sick, you're no good,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: and you should remark that.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the problem is, as you say, back then,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the New York Times was the finest newspaper. It's not anymore, obviously,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: but most people don't follow this that closely. And for
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: people that aren't following the news, they still look at
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the New York Times and say, if it's some sort
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: of prestigious, great newspaper, but they don't know that it's
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a whole different paper. Maybe it should be Federal Trade Commission.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: You have to, like, relabel it or something.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's a remarkably successful business, and if
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: you ever take a few minutes and go online and
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: read their comments from readers. It's extraordinary how the readers
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: are often complaining that the paper isn't progressive enough. So
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: they have the most progressive readers in the world, apparently,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: who want even more, who hate Donald Trump even more
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: than the New York Times does. So it's a very
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: strange situation. And the editors seem either I'm caring about
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: it or their power is deficit because it just marches on. Yeah.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, wasn't there a time when the New York Times
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: was dying and they needed a bailout from the Mexican billionaire,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Carlos Slim, and then they got this Trump thing going
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and they saw that it was an incredible business model.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: The money just came flowing in. They're up to like
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: 5 million readers. So is that why they do it?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: It's just, it's profiteering off Trump hatreds?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I think, Mark, that's a very large part of the reason,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: because it's not journalism. It's an agenda. It's a narrative.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: As I say in the column, when they have a
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: narrative they're trying to sell, they stack the deck. They
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: don't report it fairly. There's nobody ever quoted who says
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: you're wrong. If you just look at the headlines... If
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: somebody's always concerned, who's concerned?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Who's worried?
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Who's nervous?
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: It's always the left. The left is nervous that the
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: economy is too strong.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: It's overheating, right?
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: It's that kind of stuff. And it just now seems
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: to be an unbreakable power within the newsroom. And it's
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: apparently making enough money that there's no way to assail
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: the content of the paper because as a business, unfortunately,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: it is succeeding.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's terrible. But, hey, Mayor Mamdani is with AOC
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: at the 9-11 ceremony. They're caught laughing there. What was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that all about?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very, very poor taste. And I think they
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: should have been smarter to realize if they had a
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: joke to share, they should have held off. But that
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: was That was a very ugly moment. And I'm sure
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: that they would say, oh, you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: But nonetheless, it looked terrible. And you have to be
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: smarter than that. You know, the cameras are there, you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: the eyes of the world are there. And so even,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: even a 10 second break and to do that, it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: almost like a giggle on both sides.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: It looked horrible.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I still think it was deliberate though. You know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Whenever he has to do something right, Mamdani always sends
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: a signal to his base that, don't worry, I don't
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: really believe this. You know, like handing the pen to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the terrorist lawyer or laughing at the 9-11 ceremony. You
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: notice he hasn't tried to explain it or apologize. He's
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: letting it stand.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: No.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Look, I agree with you, General Mark, about him, that
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: he's always talking to his base. Anytime he gives a speech...
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: It's never about reaching those who don't agree with him.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: It's about comforting the base. And I think that's his
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: one concern, is as long as he has that base intact,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: he'll have support for enough of his initiatives and for
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: his place as the mayor, as a strong political figure,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: that gives him credibility in his world. If he starts
• 33:58
