  Speaker 1: Now, this is the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Friday. That's the good news. It's Friday.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: The bad news, it's going to be a rainy, messy weekend,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: but we got a lot to get to today. We'll
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: get to President Xi of China, his visit to the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: White House. A lot happened there. We'll get to the UN.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: This should be the final day of total gridlock UN week.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: They're all starting to leave over the weekend. We'll get
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: to Netanyahu's speech yesterday. We have all these TV channels
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: on here. We've got all these different TV screens. Now,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the left wing, the left wing, ooh, they hated that
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu speech. Look at this. New York One, that little,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: little tiny New York One is the most biased left-wing network.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Look at the headline they put on the button. Netanyahu
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: fuels tensions and creates backlash. And it was actually quite
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: a heroic speech from Netanyahu. New York One making him
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: look like some sort of villain. And then they immediately
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: cut to Mamdani saying that Netanyahu's lying speech, blatant lies,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and he tried to whitewash the genocide that Israel has committed.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You can get a lot of that crap from the real, real,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: real left-wing television. It was quite a speech. It was
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a powerful speech as Netanyahu got up to speak. Half
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the UN General Assembly walked out. They got up and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: walked out. Many different nations, their delegates walked out. Before
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu even spoke, as soon as he got to the podium,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: they walked out. It's a very anti-Semitic place, that UN.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Very anti-Semitic. Always has been since its creation. And as
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu gets up, he must have expected some walkouts, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it was half the room. And Netanyahu said, Mr.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: President.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Before I begin, just a quick announcement. If there are
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: please do so now. Thank you very much.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Absolutely perfect. And it was quite a speech. Very powerful.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And we'll play a lot of it throughout the show
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: this morning. And he stood up for Israel and... You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the problem is for the anti-Semitic haters, nothing's going to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: persuade them on anything. But he did point out that
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the genocide was against Israel. The worst Holocaust since the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Hitler-not-Holocaust took place on October 7th. Israel's response was as
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: careful and as cautious as could be.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: us all, I asked, where were you when the Iranian
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he made a lot of great points. In Iran,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: over the last six months, they have slaughtered in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: street 40,000 of their citizens just for protesting or whatever
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: reason opposing the government, just slaughtered them. And there were
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: some protesters, they just opened fire on them and shot
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: them all. Some survived and ended up in the hospital. Now,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: this is an absolute fact. Iran's special Republican guard, whatever
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the hell they call it, actually went into the hospitals
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and shot those protesters in their hospital bed just to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: make sure they were dead. And again, the Susan Sarandans,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the Mamdani's, where were they on this? Netanyahu has a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: good point. Where were they on that? They still haven't
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: condemned it. But the yelling and screaming about Israel, which is,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of course, insane. But it's just fueled on total hatred.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: He did go after Mamdani.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Jews no longer feel safe in New York.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They talk to me. They tell me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: This isn't the city we remember. It changed so quickly. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: it's no wonder. You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: You count as friends people like Hassan Piker, who said
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: America deserved 9-11. America deserved 9-11.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Some friends you have. Yeah, now did you ever think
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you'd live to see a New York City could have
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a mayor that was openly bigoted, openly racist, openly anti-Semitic?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Did you ever think you'd live to see that? Where
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you would brag about his anti-Semitism? A mayor who would
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: actually engage in actual hate speech. Netanyahu even got to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: his wife.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Your wife liked a post praising the October 7th massacre.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: She liked another post saying Tel Aviv shouldn't exist. You
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: refuse to condemn any of that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a strange world. You've got an actually bigoted,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: biased mayor engaging in hate speech. His wife, crazier, well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: as crazy as he is, so. We'll play more of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu's speech. It was quite a day. The protesting was
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: out of control. Netanyahu, he's gone now. He was staying
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: at the Regency Hotel, 61st and Park, all of Park
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Avenue for a couple of blocks, filled with crazy lunatic protesters.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: As he came to the UN, the protesters went there.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Many of them were arrested. Susan Sarandon among them. Why,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: if this were a few weeks ago, her career was
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: so bad, people would say, Ah, Susan Sarandon, she can't
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: even get arrested. Well, it turns out she can. Also,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: some of those DSA congressional candidates, what's his name? Darial
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Aziza Avaliva-Chevalier, also detained by NYPD. They were arrested for
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: blocking a roadway. Linda Sarsour showed up wearing a red hijab,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: leading demonstrators. She had all the left-wing crazies out there. Anyway,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to that. The other thing that happened yesterday,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of course, was the meeting with China's President Xi Jinping.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It was all day. The President spent the entire day
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: with him. From morning to night, they had a big
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: state dinner last night. I'm looking at the guest list.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: It was all the big tech leaders. It was a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: lot of big CEOs, hedge fund guys. There was Steve Schwartzman.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: There was Larry Fink. There were a lot of these
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: guys there. All the big tech leaders, even the older ones,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Michael Dell, Tim Cook, all the current tech leaders, the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: AI guys, the media. Let's see who's on the guest list.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Jesse Waters, Laura Ingram, Brett Baer. The menu. Oh, all
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: your favorites. All your favorites. First course, yellow squash velouté
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: with a wild mushroom fricassee. Sounds great, doesn't it? I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell it is. Sounds terrible. Who
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the hell wants to eat that? Oh, it's complimented by
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: crispy pancetta and topped with a drizzle of scallion oil.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure under the table, the president had a Big
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Mac and some filet of fish and some French fries
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: hidden under the table. It was followed by crusted sea
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: bass with braised baby bok choy and roasted eggplant. I
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: guarantee you, Donald Trump now almost 80. He's been in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a billion restaurants, never once, ever said to the waiter,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I'll have the sesame-crusted sea bass. Oh, and bring me
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: some braised baby bok choy. He's never said that in
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: his life. For dessert, okay, so this sounds like the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: good part. Still don't know what the hell it is.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Vanilla cremeux with a sour cherry confit atop a walnut frangipane.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: What the hell is that? And served with White House
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: honey ice cream. Okay, there's one thing you could eat there.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It sounds horrible. Elon Musk was also there sitting right
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: at the table with Xi Jinping. Now, you got to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: spend the whole day with this guy. He had to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: go with him to the Smithsonian. They had one meeting
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: after another. Who the hell, what the hell would you
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: talk to this guy about all day? Now, they did
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: have talks, serious talks for an hour here, hour there,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: bilateral meetings. And usually you try to, if you're a president,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the formula is your staff and their staff, you arrange
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: some sort of what they call deliverables. So at the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: end of the talks, you can come out and announce,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: we've got this accomplished. This is what we got. It's
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: called a deliverable. And you're supposed to announce a few
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: of those later. President Trump, of course, doesn't play by
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the rules. Not your typical president. Apparently wasn't worried about that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: So they didn't arrange any of that kind of stuff.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And usually they're meaningless anyway. You know, usually when they
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: come out, it was Bush or Obama or Clinton. They
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: make the big announcement. Well, we've accomplished. They've agreed to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: buy our soybeans. And that's supposed to be the deliverable,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the big, big accomplishment. And if you're not a soybean farmer,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: who cares that they're buying our soybeans? Or they announce
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: we're going to get two pandas from them, something like this.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: But it went well. Now, the president toured Xi Jinping
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: around the White House, showing him everything. And then they
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: had these ceremonies. They had one where they looked out
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: over the Rose Garden. And out in the Rose Garden,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: there were a million, dozens of these, like in the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Revolutionary War uniforms, these minute men playing the fife and drums, marching.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell this is. This is
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Xi Jinping. He doesn't know what the hell this is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: or what he's looking at. But you got to do
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: something with this guy all day. Then President Trump toured
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: him around the White House, even took him to the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Ball construction site to show him the ballroom he was building.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: He's getting a lot of flack for that online. Everybody
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: making fun of him. Why is he taking him into
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a construction zone? Well, this is what he does. He's
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a builder. He's very proud of it. Hey, you know
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: when you go to anybody's house, especially they got a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: new house or they're living in an incredible house. You
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: go to their house. What's the first thing they do?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Come on, I'll give you a tour of the house.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Then they lead you around from room to room. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: you have to pretend you're interested in this. And this
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: is the living room. And then here's the wine. So
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: they show you all this stuff. And you got to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: pretend you like this. You have to ooh and ah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Ooh, oh, ooh.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Then they tell you where this chair is from, where
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: they got this couch from, how they look at the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: molding here. They show you all this crap. And you
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: got to pretend you're interested. So even presidents do that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: He even showed him the helipad. And then he got
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of flack for that. And it is probably
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the nicest helipad ever built. It's a very special granite.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And he said, Xi Jinping loves granite. That's why he
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: showed it to me. He loves granite. I don't know
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: about that. Do we believe that? Are we buying that?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I never met anybody that said, I love granite. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: when people talk about, oh, I love pickleball. I'm a
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: big football. I love golf. I've never heard me say,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you know what I love? I love granite. I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: know anybody that would ever say that. So, oh, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: one thing that got a lot of flack, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: when you come down that promenade, that walkway, the president
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: has portraits in gold frames of every president. So he's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: leading she along, showing him every portrait. And then when
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: they get to the Biden one, she looks confused. It
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's not Biden. It's some mechanical. And Trump goes, this
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: is the auto pen. Remember him with the auto pen? Well,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: every left-wing kook site went absolutely nuts. Mediaite, real left-wing site.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Big headline. Utterly disgusting. Trump mocks Biden in front of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: China Xi, sparking furious online backlash. Well, if you go online,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you can see video of this moment. Go watch the video.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I've watched it. I've slowed it down. I've watched it
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: carefully 20 times. When he shows it to she and
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: tells him what it is, you can see she burst
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: out laughing. Not only can you see him laughing, but
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: his head snaps back. He throws his head back with laughter.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: He really got a kick out of it. So you
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: can't say it's disgusting if it got that big a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: laugh out of she. You know, sometimes you're up there telling...
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Doing your little jokes. It happens to me all the time.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: In front of a big audience in the big ballroom
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and you make a few jokes in one of them,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: somebody could say, oh, you went a little too far.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: The audience is the judge. If the audience all roared
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: with laughter, if the joke landed well, the audience loved it,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that's all that matters. So you can try to pick
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: on Trump for this, but watch the video. She laughed
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: so hard his head goes back. He loved the joke.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So it landed. She loved it. You can't say it
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't right. Now, here's the problem. President Trump, that's yesterday,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: all day, big state dinner. Today, I'm looking at the schedule.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's Xi again, President Xi all day. First, they have
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: a morning tea at 10 o'clock. Then they visit the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: National Archives. Then they have another meeting. Who the hell
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: wants to spend two days with this guy? You've seen
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: this President Xi. What would you talk to? You sit
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in a room with him. You have to have tea
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: with the guy for an hour. What do you say
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: to the guy? Hey, how about those Yankees? Terrible about
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: that Aaron Judge. What do you talk to this guy about?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Melania looked beautiful. She's spending time with Mrs. Xi, Madam Ping.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And then they leave later today. Looks like I'm looking
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: at the schedule. Looks like the president does not leave Washington.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He's going to go to Kentucky or Tennessee. on Saturday,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but he's not coming to Bedminster. Mar-a-Lago is closed until
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: usually about Halloween. So he'll be in Washington and probably
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: go to his, he has a Trump golf course just
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: outside of DC in the suburbs. So when he stays,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: he goes there and plays golf. So this UN week
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: stuff has been a disaster. I don't know what the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: hell was going on last night. You could hear sirens everywhere.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It depends. Your motorcade size depends on how big a
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: world leader you are. If you're the president of some
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: dinky country, your motorcade is your SUV. And maybe you
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: got a car in front of you and behind you.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: It's a three-car motorcade. If you're Macron of France, you're
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: going to get like eight cars. If you're a high-risk
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: security like Netanyahu, that was a lot of cars. It
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: was cars and ambulance. One of those cars with the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: guys fully armed with the Uzis and the the big
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: guns and the stinger missile on the roof kind of thing.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And if you're the president, it's an unbelievable motorcade. It's
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: like 50, literally 50 motorcycles first.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: And then.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: The cars, it's like literally 20, 30 cars, SUVs, those
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: presidential limousines, three of them, ambulances, everything, you know, military
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: type vehicles. And then last night, and some of them,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: have police escorts with the sirens going just to get
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: them through. I don't know what was going on last night,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: but you could hear the sirens all over Midtown. They
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: start leaving these world leaders today. Some of them stay
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: for a day or two through the weekend because they
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: like to go shopping. They like to go to all
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the top restaurants and go to Broadway shows and all that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Although I talked to some of the owners of some
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of our most famous, top, crowded, hard-to-get reservation restaurants, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: they said, They can't stand this U.N. week because it
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: scares away all the regular customers. They cancel reservations because
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: they don't want to fight this gridlock and street closures.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And they don't care about these U.N. delegates. They don't
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: need them. And first of all, they're never coming back.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And so by Monday, we should be pretty much back
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to normal traffic wise. So we've got a lot to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: get to today. Hey, we'll get to the polls when
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: they keep telling you, look how low President Trump, look
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: how low his approval rating is. They're misleading you, as
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: they always do, by leaving out stuff. We'll get to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: that coming up. It's Mark Simone. Three hours every day.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Three hours now. Nine to noon here on 710WOR.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone? Three. The
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: 710WOR.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, the rain should begin late tonight and then tomorrow, Saturday,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of rain throughout the day. It'll continue into Sunday.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It looks like it's just rain. It won't be that
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: bad in the city. It's east of the city. The
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: further east you go and south, the worse it'll get. Connecticut,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you're going to get a lot of rain. It shouldn't
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: be that bad, though. But it's eastern Long Island where
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: you're going to get hit very hard. Very, very, very hard.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of rain. the worst of the wind, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be that bad in the city. And if you're
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: in Fairfield County, Westchester, it shouldn't be that bad. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: if you're west of the city, New Jersey, it shouldn't
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: be that bad. Now, this CNN pollster, I don't know
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: what the hell's going on with this. CNN, fake news,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: left wing, very biased. But the pollster there, Harry Enten,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: he's very honest all the time. I don't know how
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: this happened. I don't know what that's all about. Hey,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: by the way, the, uh, uh, the chairman of Paramount,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: David Ellison, he's the guy that just bought, uh, Warner, uh,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Discovery and CNN and all that. He was invited to the, uh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: state dinner last night. Uh, interesting. I think the really,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the only network head I saw on the guest list there, but, uh,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: here's the CNN poster. Now here's the, uh, what they
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: do and fake news with its MS now or, uh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: CNN or those kind of places. What they do, sometimes
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: they just lie and give you fake news. Kids in cages,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you know, that never happened under Trump. The pictures were
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: all from the Biden-Obama era. Sometimes they doctor up the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: audio or the video so it says something totally different,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: like Charlottesville. But then other times they just leave out
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: half the story. They just give you a little piece
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: of the story that will totally mislead you. So, You've
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: seen everybody do that over the last couple of weeks.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: You keep seeing the story. President's approval ratings have never
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: been lower. The president is so far down in the polls.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: The president's approval ratings are all time low. He's dropping.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: He's so low. So you come away thinking he's going
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to get wiped out. But the part they left out
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: is the Democrats are much lower than he is, way
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: below him. The Democrats' approval ratings is half of what
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Trump's is. So as bad as he's doing, the Democrats
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: are doing much worse. But I don't know what it is.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: The CNN pollster always... He's honest and they keep cutting him.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they didn't fire him because he's honest.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: He's totally honest. Harry Enten, listen to him.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Democrats on their own leaders. They don't like their own leaders.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: I dare say they despise their own leaders. And this
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: is the big difference from what we saw back in 2018,
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: just before Democrats were trying to take back the U.S.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives that fall.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Take a look here.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Net approval of Congress. Dem leaders among Democrats back in 2018.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Look at this. Their net approval rating was.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Plus 19 points. Hey, that's pretty good. Two thumbs up,
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: says Colin Ebert. Now we're talking about two thumbs down.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Look at this.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Minus 12 points. What a different world that we are
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: in right now. Democrats do not like, they despise.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Their own leaders. Yeah, so not only are Democrats doing
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: just as badly as they can in the polls, among
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Democrats they're hated. I don't know what they think they're
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: going to accomplish. You know, you see all these crazy left-wing,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: crazy Democratic socialists, anti-Semites getting all the attention. But when
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you get into the real numbers, real polls, they're not
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: popular even with Democrats. So there's going to be a problem.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: People keep trying to tell you what's going to happen
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: in the midterms. You really can't predict it. Hey, speaking
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of leaders, the Democrats hate Schumer. Hate him. Hate him.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: He has no chance at re-election. He now knows this.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: He will not seek re-election. So that seat, the big
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Senate seat, is up for grabs. AOC is always talked
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: about as the one who will take it. Or maybe
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: she'll run for president. Well, it's always been talked about,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: thought about. Looks like she's really, really about to try
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to do it. She's been on the campaign trail. Now,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: she's a Congresswoman. And when you're in Congress, you just
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: represent a local district, her district in Queens. That's where
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: you campaign. If you're a senator, it's statewide. Well, she's
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: now begun a statewide campaign. So this is either for
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Schumer's seat in the Senate or 2028. AOC now touring upstate.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: campaigning upstate. She went to Buffalo to do a rally
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: with potential supporters. Buffalo. She joined Kathy Hochul for another rally.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Her team is also setting up in Syracuse, Ithaca. That's
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the home to Cornell University, a terrible anti-Semitic university. Members
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: of the Democratic Socialists of America are all over that place.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: They're even on the city council up there. It's just
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: horrible up there. But AOC now campaigning statewide. That means
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: she's really, really serious about all of this. So they
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: had this press ban yesterday. The president, first half of
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the day, looked like they defied the court order and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: kept banning CNN and MSNBC now. And if you watch CNN,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: they're basically covering themselves all day about how they were
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: banned and MSNBC about how they were banned. And other
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: networks joined in to ban themselves in solidarity with CNN
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and MSNBC. Other networks, even Fox, agreed to not participate
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: in the pool coverage. Just solidarity among... Remember when Obama
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: tried to ban Fox? I don't think the other networks
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: joined in in solidarity. But it's interesting, without the pool,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: without these reporters all over everything, including... the Xi visit
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to the White House, it's supposed to make Trump suffer
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that he's not getting the coverage. Actually, I've never seen
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: him look happy. It's made for the White House better
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: for him. You don't have Caitlin Collins sneering at him.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: You don't have these nasty reporters screaming horrible questions at
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: him when he talks to Xi. And I'm watching, here's
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough saying it's humiliated Trump. He's not getting the coverage.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: He's getting plenty of coverage. Plenty of coverage. I saw
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: every moment of the she visit. You see it online.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: You see it on Instagram. You see it on Twitter.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: You see it on just because you're not seeing it
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: on MS now with their 600,000 viewers. It doesn't really
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: mean that much or CNN with their 300,000 viewers. That's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: really not where people see things. It's online nowadays and
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: there's plenty of coverage. Hey, we got a lot to
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: get to. We'll take some calls to 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Simone here. Three hours every day. It's 9 a.m.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: to noon. 9 a.m. to noon every day.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now 9 till noon weekdays.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: 710WOR.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Well, big speech yesterday. Netanyahu at the UN. Phenomenal speech.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: We'll play you parts of it a little later. Hey,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and good news. The IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, killed
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: a major Hamas commander yesterday. A guy who had held
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: seven Israeli hostages in the a tunnel in Gaza. The
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Israeli Defense Forces said on Thursday they had eliminated, killed
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Mahmoud Abdel Fattah Awad, a Hamas commander. This is the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: guy that held seven hostages in a Gaza tunnel during
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the war, killed in an airstrike in Gaza City. Well,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: good for the IDF. Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: is the number.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: You remember Butler, Pennsylvania, the assassination attempt. Donald Trump hit
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: in the ear. And you remember the crazed shooter, Thomas
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Matthew Crooks, fired a bunch of shots. Luckily, Trump turned
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: his head. They missed him. One hit his ear, but
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the others missed him. But one hit a guy behind
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: him and killed him. And another guy was hit with
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: a bullet. It was taken to the hospital. He was
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: just wounded. Only wounded in that failed assassination attempt, but
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: he died yesterday. He passed away. He was apparently wounded
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: badly enough that it took a long time, but he
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: died yesterday. He's in his mid-70s. His name was James
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Copenhaver of Coropolis, Pennsylvania. Wounded in the assassination attempt and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: died yesterday. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mark.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: I love these actresses, you know, Susan Sarandon and the
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: rest of them, going out there, you know, once they
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: become completely irrelevant, and they try to look smart by
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: thinking that, by protesting the most liberal state in the world, perhaps, Israel,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: that they're going to somehow make an impact. You know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: talk about artificial intelligence. These actresses are the exemplars of it. But,
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: you know, it's ironic because Israel literally is one of
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: the most liberal states. I mean, they treat women, nobody
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: treats women better than they do in Israel. And these
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: are all feminists, as they proclaim. I mean, let Susan
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Sarandon go to Gaza, you know, see how she gets
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: treated there. Maybe her career will get a rebound.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very good point. Nobody worse to women than people
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: in Gaza. Nobody better to women than Israel. And they
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: hate it because it's a democracy. It's a real democracy.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Exactly. It's a real open. I mean, they employ more,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: you know, they employ Gazans in Israel. I mean, up
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: until a certain point, maybe not anymore. I mean, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: also there's 19 other Arab states and none of them
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: support Gaza. which is interesting. I mean, nobody ever asked
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: that question.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: No, listen, anti-Semitism is always based on absolute stupidity, anger, rage, hatred.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: It's not based on anything logical of any kind, but
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: good call, Mike. Thanks for calling. Let's go to, uh,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Good morning. I want everybody to notice that you're true.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Your word that you were going to, uh, be here
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: on Fridays in the fall. Appreciate that very much.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: All I did in the summer, mostly August, is take
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Fridays off. You know, I got all these weeks of vacation.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I don't like to take a whole week at a time.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So instead of taking a week, I take every Friday.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: But people, for some reason, people are panicking. But I love,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to tell you, I love Jimmy
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Fallon so much. So much. And I just want to say, Mark,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: that you had the perfect Jimmy Fallon moment.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon, Fallon, Fallon.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, I know. You said, I fell over laughing like
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I do when I'm listening to him. He needs to
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: steal this line. You said that the guy was so far,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: as far left as your salad fork.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Well, Jimmy Fallon, one of the funniest comedians.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: He's on here every night, nine to midnight. You ever
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: watch his Saturday night show, Fox News Channel, 10 o'clock?
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I do. I do.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Best monologue in television. He's brilliant.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: His jackets kill me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: All right. I wouldn't steal his wardrobe, but it's perfect
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: But you stole that line. That was a great one.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: You need to take credit for that one. I know
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I didn't deliver it as well as you did, but
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: it was hysterical. I've never heard that line before.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What do you do down there in North Carolina?
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's very impressive that you know
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: where the salad fork is. That was the whole point.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. You know what? People aren't sure which fork
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: to use. Grab whatever fork you want. Who the hell cares?
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Take any fork you want.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: No, but the salad fork is the farthest on the left.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: You're correct. And I try to always tell people that
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I know. But what the hell is it? Take any
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: fork you want. What happens if you don't use the
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: smallest fork for the salad? Oh, you used a bigger fork.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: That's.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Take whatever fork. Bring your own fork. Don't even touch
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: their stuff.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: But I also, if we have a minute, I want to...
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: implore you again that somehow I would love to read
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: your Instagram feed, but somehow I got blocked and it
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: could not have been but by mistake. Because... because I
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: never did anything, and I miss seeing you on Instagram.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people always say that. The only way you get
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: blocked is if you put up an inappropriate comment.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: That's not true, Mark. I know every comment I ever made.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Well, one of them was either not relevant to whatever
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: the post was, or it was attacking somebody. No political anything.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: No, it definitely wasn't. We have common friends. We've worked
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: at the same stations together separately, of course.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: We did? What station did we work at together?
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Pro, but not together.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: WPRO Providence. Oh, okay.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I do not remember my gangster story about Pro FM
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: when I first worked there.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: There was a gangster? PRO FM is the big, like
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: the Z100 of Rhode Island.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And what happened?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: So I worked on the FM side, and there was
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: a man there when I first started who escorted me in,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: and he looked, he was huge, and I thought, oh,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: this is so nice, he's escorting me. And it turns
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: out he was the bodyguard for the mayor.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Buddy Cianci, he did a radio show there on
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: the weekends.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, and it was terrifying. The guy was like, I
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: couldn't believe it. Every time I got there, there was
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: like armed guards. And when I figured out it was
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: a mafia connection, it just completely freaked me out. It
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: took me a minute to figure it out.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: You know, when I worked there on the AM, which
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: was the big station in New England, there was a
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: gangster working there. He was the weekend host.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to mention his name. I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: he's dead. I'm sure he's dead. But he was a
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: gangster during the week and a DJ on the weekend.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: And everybody was very cautious around him.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you were talking about the mayor.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: This was an actual Providence gangster who worked there. And
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: there were all kinds of jokes about he's not only
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: playing the hits, he's doing the hits or something like that.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm sure you have some minions there like Chris
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: or somebody who's fabulous that could help me figure out why...
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I can't get you on Instagram.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: You got blocked because you put up a comment.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: That's the only way you could get blocked. Anyway, send
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: me an email. Go to my website, MarkSimone.com. Hit the
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: email button. I'll get to it, and we'll look in
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: to see why you got blocked. Okay. Nope, she went away.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: What happened? All right. Thanks. One more call? Yeah, let's
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: go to Carl in Middletown, New Jersey.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Carl? Hey, Mark, how you doing?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, next time you call, could you try to have
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: more noise? You don't have enough noise behind you.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: For everybody listening, when you call, make sure there's a
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: lot of noise behind you and be 50 feet away
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: from the phone. That's what we like.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: I'm on Bluetooth.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: What would CNN ratings be if we turned up.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: All the TVs in the airport? I can't understand one
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: word you're saying. What is it with the Bluetooth? You know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: there's like 4 million people listening. That's not enough to
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: get you to pick up the phone and actually talk
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: into it. How many do we have to have listening
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: before you'll actually hold the phone?
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Is that better?
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Much better. Now we can hear you.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I apologize to everyone listening.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: What would CNN's ratings be if we turned off all
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: the TVs in the airports?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't really affect their ratings. You know, that's
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: a good point you brought up. A lot of people say,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: how come every airport, oh, they only show, why do
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: they only show CNN in the airport? They pay for that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: There's a company that runs all the airport TVs in
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: America and you pay them to put your channel on.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And that's why CNN does that. Now you say, well,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: why didn't Fox pay them? Fox doesn't need to. Fox
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: has huge ratings. CNN pays for that. It's a form
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: of advertising. So that's actually paid for. It's not the
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: airport's decision. Hey, we've got a lot to get to.
