  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Marc Simone? Three! The
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Marc Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays. 710WOR. Well, yeah,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it's three hours every day. We start at 9 a.m.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: So if you just tuned in, you missed the first
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: hour and it was a big hour. So it's 9 a.m.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to noon every day. The UN General Assembly continues tying
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: up everything in New York. It's an absolute mess. Gridlock everywhere. Tonight,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Netanyahu comes into town. That'll mean extra, extra, even
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: beyond what you're seeing now, extra high security. Expect protesters.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: He's staying around 61st and Park. That'll be probably a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: lot of protests around there. Then he goes to the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: UN where they're expecting protests. So he'll be there. here
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: all day tomorrow, actually for the UN and then some meetings.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And then he will leave town tomorrow night. And then Friday,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you got more of this UN General Assembly. And when
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: is the 28th? Oh, I hate to break it to you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They're here all weekend. It's really not till Monday that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: they start leaving these world leaders. Some of them will
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: leave Friday, but it really goes to the 28th till Monday.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And then there's another few days of UN General Assembly
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: without all the world leaders. So it won't be quite
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: as bad. Vice President Xi of China arrives tonight in Washington.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: He'll be meeting with the president. And, well, we'll see
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: what Mamdani does when Netanyahu's in town. He'll probably just
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: speak out. He'll do what he does best, talk and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: not act. He can't actually arrest Netanyahu, but he'll certainly
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: be talking a lot. Netanyahu has threatened to go after
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Mamdani in his speech. So Mamdani will have to respond.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Mamdani probably loves this stuff. He loves being the center
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of attention. But Netanyahu put out this video yesterday. Shame
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on you, Mr. Mamdani.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: New York Jews. I'm coming to the UN. I'm going
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers. And I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: going to tell the truth about you.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Now see I don't know what's in that threat I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: mean he could just be revealing or just you know
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in front of the world talking about what an anti-semite
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Mamdani is how much trouble he's caused for Jews in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: New York but it's Netanyahu Israel has the best intelligence
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: service in the world who knows what they've come up
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: with on Mamdani he might be revealing something about Mamdani
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that speech tomorrow that'll be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting President Trump, the ban, it's not a ban
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on the media. It's a ban on CNN and MSNOW
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and Politico, three very slanted biased left-wing organizations. And they're
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not banned from covering them. They're just banned from access
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to the White House. They can't come in there. They
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: can stand outside. They can cover them all they want.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And most people cover the president just fine without ever
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: entering the building. They still have his phone number. We
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: played you that clip before where Caroline Levitt was talking
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about everybody in the media, everybody in the press has
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: his cell, has his number. He answers every call. So
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: they can all call him and talk to him. You
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: can call. Caitlin Collins can call. He'll talk to you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But it's not allowed in the building. President Trump asked
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: about all this. So it's an honor to be here. Now,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: are you actually speaking? See, that's the other thing. They're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: now banning coverage of him, and other networks have joined in,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: even Fox. They will not participate in the press pool.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So supposedly they're not covering him. And if you watched
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel last night, he was making fun of Trump,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: saying Trump got me kicked off TV. Now he got
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: himself kicked off TV. Now nobody's covering him. He got
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: himself kicked off TV. I don't know. Last night, this morning,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: every time I put on any channel, there he was.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So he seems to be getting covered. And he's talking,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden CNN is covering him. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I thought they were going to stop covering him. Listen
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to this. So it's an honor to be here. I'm
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn't be here.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You should not be here covering me. You said you
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: weren't going to cover me. You shouldn't be covering me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you, it is an honor to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: be at the United Nations, and we're making a lot
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Yeah. See,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it's fascinating. They hate him. They hate him. Trump derangement syndrome.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They hate him. Yet they're obsessed with him. He even
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: tweeted something about that last night about Caitlin Collins. She
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: has Trump, what do you call it? Trump obsession syndrome.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: She's obsessed with the guy. I have people I hate.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I got lots of people I hate. Everywhere. There's a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: couple people here I can't stand. You know what I do?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I don't talk to them. If I see them over there,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I go the other way. I don't talk to them.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I just ignore them. I got a lot of people
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I hate. I just stay the hell away from them.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Don't even look at them. Don't even talk to them.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They have a vicious hatred for Trump, but they have
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: an obsession with him, an obsession. What is this obsession?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, if I really didn't like somebody, if I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: really thought they were terrible, I would just never look
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: at them, talk to them, never talk about them. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: wouldn't spend all day talking to everybody I know about them.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's something wrong with you. If you can't
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: stand this guy that much, stop talking about him. I mean,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: he's the president. Occasionally, you're going to have to cover him. Occasionally,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he's an important factor in the news, but All you
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: do is talk about him. All you do, you put
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on MSNBC, CNN, anytime. That's all they're talking about is
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: him day and night, 24-7. Now, the reason they do that,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it's the business model. The New York Times, you'll remember,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was headed into bankruptcy. The New York Times was fading, dying,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: nobody reading it. And they were going broke. They were really,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: really about to go bankrupt. And a Mexican billionaire, Carlos Slim,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: had to step in and bail them out. Remember, he
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: became a part owner. He paid to keep them afloat.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And this was true of other news organizations. And then
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, 2015, Donald Trump comes along. Summer
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of 2015. They didn't take it that seriously. But within
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: two months, he was all of a sudden the frontrunner.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And then the Trump hatred started. And it became a movement.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It became a cult. It became whatever. But it was massive,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: this Trump hatred. So the New York Times and other
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: organizations started jumping in on that. They became, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the town hall for the Trump hatred. And it brought
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the New York Times back. It went from no readers
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to being very big. They're probably up to four or
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: five million on the website now. So it's the business model.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You just be the outlet for all the Trump hatred.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And you see them all over the place, these people
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that hate Trump. You know, you go to your Parties,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: your Thanksgiving dinner, they're half the crowd. So there's money
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to be made off them. You can exploit those Trump haters.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And that's the New York Times business model. MSNBC is
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: moderately successful. It's not that successful. You remember MSNBC was
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a big part of the NBC network and the NBC family.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And about a year ago, NBC threw them the hell out.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They got rid of MSNBC. It doesn't make that kind
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of money. It's not very successful. They literally threw them out,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: threw them out of the building, threw them out of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the company. That's why they had to change the name
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to MS Now. They had to change the logo to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: get the NBC colors out of it. They no longer
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: have access to NBC news reporters or any of that. Now,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: CNN is a different case. MS Now probably makes enough
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: money to just survive. CNN loses money. It's a ratings disaster.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's in last place in cable news, always last place.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Very few viewers survive. And now Paramount has bought its
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery. And there's something like that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: with CNN. You remember MSNBC on the weekends used to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: run those prison documentaries? And they would run those old
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: biographies with Peter Graves' biography. Well, that was like free.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: There were reruns. They would just run them. It got
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like four times the ratings that MSNBC got during the week.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It did much, much, much better. So, hey, the New
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: York Times also, you talk about fake news. The New
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: York Times, Maggie Haberman, who has been conning people for years,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: pretending she's close to Donald Trump, that she is the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: inside source on Donald Trump. That Maggie Haberman, no one
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: knows Trump like that. She has nothing to do with
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. She talks to him once or twice a year,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: has no knowledge of Donald Trump, doesn't know anything about him.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: But she's got a new book out she's promoting. It's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: called regime change. So she's running around on shows. But
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this is an example of just total fake news. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: she goes on these MSNBC shows and CNN. And Haberman
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: is now saying in interviews that in the West Wing,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: they're starting to see that President Trump has no advisors anymore.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He has the fewest advisors counseling him of any president. Now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: anybody that's around the White House knows that this is
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: not only not true, it's the total opposite of the truth.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: No president has ever had more people advising him than
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Every time you see that he lets the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: press in for the meeting with Zelensky or the meeting
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: about something, you'll notice there's 30 people in the room.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Everybody is there. Scott Besant is there. Rubio is there. J.D.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Vance is there. Howard Lutnick is there. They're all in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the room. They're always there. That's one of the problems
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: with Trump when you go to see him. It's one
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of the big problems. You want to talk to him
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: about something. He's always got 20 people with him. There's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: always 20 people there. If you're lucky, sometimes it's 30
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: or 40 people. It's hard to catch the guy alone.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Even when he's traveling, he's got 17 people in the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: room with him on the plane. Nobody's ever had more
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: advisors than this guy. And we played the clip before
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of Caroline Leavitt who revealed that everybody in the press,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everybody in the media has his phone number. They all
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: call him all the time. He always answers and talks
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to them. And besides all these advisors that he has,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: all these cabinet members, and all these advisors he has
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in the room with him, half the day he's on
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the phone calling people. And he calls people constantly for advice.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: We've never had a president do that. Occasionally, if you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: look at the Nixon tapes, Sometimes he'd call a CEO
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: or something to see how that business was doing. Trump
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: does it all day long. He calls every leader. He
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: calls Jamie Dimon. He calls the head of Apple. He
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just calls everybody all day, always looking for advice. Sometimes
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he'll sit there, especially in the afternoon, 5 to 6.30.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: He's just on the phone constantly. Call 20 people for advice.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody's ever had more advisors. Social Security, they've been looking
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: at it. and they've been looking at Obamacare. Dr. Oz
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: revealing he's in charge of all this stuff now. They
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: just found on Obamacare 1.1 million enrollees that don't have
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a Social Security number, don't seem to be citizens. 1.1 million.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: They just threw 750,000 of them off Obamacare. That'll save
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: taxpayers $ 2 billion. They're looking for more. They're finding a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Voter fraud. They're finding homophobia. hundreds of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: thousands of names of people that had no business being
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on the voter rolls. Hey, Marco Rubio, he's one of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the top advisors to the president. You know, he's the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: secretary of state. But at one point they made him
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: temporary national security advisor as well. That's two jobs, one guy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And well, yesterday they made it permanent. They signed a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: commission formally making Rubio the official permanent national security advisor. Now,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: there's only one other person that's done that, held both
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: jobs at the same time. You know who it was?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's right, Kissinger. Under Nixon, Henry Kissinger was secretary of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: state and was also national security advisor. It's kind of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a similar job, although it's a lot more responsibility. Rubio,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of people think Rubio will be the 2028 candidate.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I know JD Vance is in the lead supposedly, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Vance is a very young guy. He's like 41. Rubio,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: more seasoned, more knowledgeable about the world and a lot
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of stuff. So keep an eye on Rubio. Hey, normally
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'd say we'll take some calls next. I can't say that, right? No,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: our phones aren't working. Here in iHeart headquarters, the most state-of-the-art,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: unbelievable high-tech facility in the world. The phones don't work. Now,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: we can still have a guest because that's different. That's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a different phone thing. That's the special hotline we call.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Those work. But the call-in numbers, it goes through an
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Amazon cloud or something. So it's not just us. It's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: like outside the building. It's some– this is the other
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: thing with AI and digital everything. When it goes bad,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it can go very bad. So, well, we can't take calls.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That means I got to talk more. Anyway, we'll get
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to that next. On 710WOR.
