  Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's one week from Election Day. It's one week
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: from today. I'll give you all the latest polling in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: a moment. And Israel elections are today. They're taking place
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: as we speak. It's, well, the time difference is it's
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: six hours later. in Israel, normally seven, but they go
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: off daylight saving time a week before we do. So
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: right now, there's a period of a week where it's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: a six-hour time difference. So it would be afternoon, getting
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to be late afternoon there. The voting taking place, we'll
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: go over that election. President Trump all over the place,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: crisscrossing the nation. He goes to Texas today, speaking for
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: hours at rallies. Got a little raspy. And of course,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: fake news went immediately to work, declaring him dying. What's
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: wrong with him? Something's wrong with him. Clearly, this is
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: he's getting he's worse than Joe Biden. Listen, he's flying
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: all over the country. He's been in like 12 states
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in five days. He is doing three hour rallies every day.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You tend to get a little raspy after that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I feel great.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: something having to do with a trade in a country
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: and i straighten it out but i blew my stack
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: at these people well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: It sounds like there's a follow-up there but can i
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: ask you about venezuela you suggested what it sounds like
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: there's a follow-up there can i ask you about venezuela you.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Said there was a polyp i don't want to.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Hear that well yeah no besides these three-hour speeches these
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: loud rallies he's good at yelling at people too All right,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: now this is the big controversy in the world today.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: President Obama, former President Obama, attacks Trump. He's out there
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: stumping for candidates now. He's in Michigan because Al-Sayed is
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in real trouble with black voters. They think Obama can
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: help there. But I don't think people have looked at
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Obama's track record as a campaigner for other people, as
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: an endorser for other people. It's a bad track record.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Most of the people, almost everybody he endorses or campaigns for, loses.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: It happens all the time. Remember in 2024, election time,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris was in trouble. He went out there to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: stump her. And of course, every time he does this,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the person loses. Now, the big controversy, the major controversy,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the way Trump decorates. Now, Obama went after him, making
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: fun of him. He said, the guy spends all his
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: time on Home renovation. Okay, there is... No, he doesn't
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: spend all his time on it. Nine to five, he's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: president of the United States. Five to seven, he goes
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to work with the contractors. He has really fixed up
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the White House. It was in terrible shape. A lot
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of stuff was really decaying, decrepit, and he fixed it. Now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office, that's a different story. I mean, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: don't think anybody looks at what he's done with the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Oval Office and takes the picture and gives it to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: their decorator and says, I want this. I don't think
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: anybody wants that. It's a little... Let's be honest, it's Liberace-ish.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But it's not as bad as Obama makes it out
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to be. And Obama said, looks like Saddam Hussein opened
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a cheesecake factory. Well, I don't think he realized he's
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: an elitist, Martha's Vineyard sort of a guy. He was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: putting down Cheesecake Factory, which is a big, wonderful place
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to most Americans. And to most Americans, it's an upscale
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: sort of a place. It's not something to be demeaned.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: So And who, oh, it was Besson, Scott Besson, whenever.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Scott Besson, good for him. Yesterday, he went to the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory and had lunch. And as he came out,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the reporters, oh, what are you? He goes, I always
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: order the French dip cheeseburger. Wow, that did sound good.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: He's a big Cheesecake Factory person. And he said, maybe
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you elitists in the Martha's Vineyard set ought to try
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory. So that was the problem. Obama seemed a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: little out of touch with normal America on that. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Trump responded yesterday.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: He said, this isn't a cheesecake factory. Can you believe it?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Which is a very successful company. This isn't. He doesn't
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: like successful companies.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: I've taken care of the White House. I fixed it
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: with the finest artisans in the world. We have to
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: explain that to Obama because he doesn't understand it because
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: he's not a smart guy. Let me tell you, in
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: my opinion, he's not smart at all. Because the way
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: he ran the country, only a stupid person would run
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: the country like that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you want to fix your house and
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you bring a contractor in and you see the six
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: things wrong. And when this professional eye comes in, he
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: sees like eight other things you didn't see. So Trump,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a professional builder, one of the best in America, comes
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: into the White House. And a lot of it was
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: actually decrepit. You know, when those world leaders come to
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: visit Congress. And Monica Crowley greets him outside and then
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: brings him in. Well, the first place they come into,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: this big lobby, it's called the Palm Court. It was
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: really decrepit. It was like old linoleum floors and the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: walls were like peeling wallpaper. So the first thing Trump did,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: he put in beautiful marble floors and beautiful walls and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: fixed it up. And then as he walked around the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: White House, there were pieces of molding cracked and ornaments
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: on the windows cracked. And they had to be replaced.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You know, he had to. So he's got a point.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Why didn't Obama or any of these other people, Joe
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Biden's half blind bumping into walls, he probably cracked the ornaments.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: But why didn't Obama see this?
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: We have to explain to Obama that the White House
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: is a symbol of America and it has to be
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: maintained properly. It has to be painted and the exterior
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: plaster can't be fallen off the walls. And the decorations
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: and ornaments around the windows that are magnificent can't be
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: on one side of the window and fallen off on
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: the other side. It has to be clean. The columns
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: can't be broken. The bricks can't be falling off from
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: under the plaster. And for you to say it's a
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: cheesecake factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: So he really went after him. And he has replaced
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. And it's not easy. You know, those
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Ornaments on the side, those carvings are a hundred years old.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: He had to have an expert come and make a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: molding so they could recreate them for the other side.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Did a lot of work to fix things up. So, hey,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: there's a new survey that comes out. They do this
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: every year of the best governors in America. It's based
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: on a lot of factors, economics, crime, people's life standards.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of factors, very careful study. Guess who won?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul as the worst governor in America. Single worst
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: governor in America. Came in 50th place. 50th place. Throw
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: her the hell out one week from today. Vote for
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman one week from today. Actually, don't even wait.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Go do it today. Now, there's some new polling, detailed polling,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: on voter enthusiasm and voter likelihood. And here's the thing,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: with Democrats in the new polling, they are much more
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: enthusiastic than Republicans. They're coming out in huge numbers in
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the early voting, far more than Republicans. But in the polling,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: it shows that when it comes to election day, Republicans
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: will turn out in greater numbers. They're more committed. There
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: could be more voting, but They've got to get out there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So it's all about turnout. If Republicans turn out, they
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: will win this election. If Republicans turn out. It's all
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: about turnout. And I keep telling you, do it now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Do it this week. Do the early voting. There's no lines.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: You can walk right in. And it's much easier. Don't
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: wait until Election Day because you never know. Who knows?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Election Day, it's pouring rain. You don't want to go.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Election Day, you get busy. You can't go. Do it
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: this week. You can do the early voting now. Get
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to the polls and vote. Michigan, El-Sayed, it's interesting. He's going,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he must be having trouble with his base because he's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: going full anti-Semite. He's an anti-Semitic guy. He hates Jews,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: just like Mamdani, just like a lot of Democrat candidates.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: They just, I don't know where this came from, this anti-Semitism.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: It just sprung up over the last decade. Now it's
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: out of control. In the El-Sayed campaign, there's now an
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: ad running that Hitler could have made this ad. Literally,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: it's the most anti-Semitic, disgusting ad. Now, it's made by
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: an outside PAC, and you are supposed to believe that
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: El-Sayed had nothing to do with it and no knowledge
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of it. But, I don't know, you do the math.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It's anti-Semitic. It's a couple in a grocery store. The
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: prices are so high, and they blame the Jews. This
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is what Hitler did. He would run these kind of
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: ads all over the place. about how the Jews are
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the reason you're paying more money, the Jews are the problem,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: everything is caused by the Jews. Listen to this ad.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: Honey.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: What?
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: You're going to have to put those eggs back.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: They don't like eggs anymore?
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: No, they like eggs, but.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: We have to set that $ 7 aside for killing Palestinians.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: What?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't we give Israel $ 4 billion a year anyways?
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and now we're giving them another $ 26 billion. Do
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: you know how much that is per American taxpayer? It's
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: like $ 161 per person. Apparently it's costing us a lot
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: of money to drop bombs.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: On gaza all right this is out and out hitler
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you know they love to throw that hitler one this
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is hitler hitler used to do this in speeches and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: his propaganda this is what led up to the holocaust
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: he blamed the jews for everything every problem you have
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: is the jews the high prices of the jews i
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: mean this is Out-and-out Hitler Nazi crap coming from El
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Sayyad's side.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: Might as well put the bananas back.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Why the f * * * do we have to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: pay for all this?
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: Don't cuss at me.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Why does Mike Rogers care so much about what Israelis
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: want and so little about what you want? Mike Rogers
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: is for.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: They, them.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Alright, it's out-and-out Hitler. It's Joe Garibalds. It's Joseph Garibalds.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: This is where Al-Sayed is headed in a desperate finish
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in this race. It's the most disgusting thing we've seen
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: in American politics in decades and decades and decades. Absolutely disgusting. Now,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: you know that ad with the Ohio candidate's mother? This
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: is all the networks talk about. This is all the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: New York Times. They're going to focus on this ad.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: They're going to make this ad an issue. This ad
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: right here, this Hitler ad, they'll never mention it. They'll
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: never mention it. They'll cover it up. NBC, ABC, CBS,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: The New York Times, they'll all cover up this ad. CNN,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: they won't cover it. It's the most disgusting thing ever.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Speaking of CNN, you know, it's been bought by Skydance,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the big company, Paramount, CBS, Skydance. They bought a Warner
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Brothers Discovery product. So they now own CNN, HBO, and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. But they've got to cut costs. They've
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: announced an employee buyout program. They're going to get rid
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of a lot of people. A lot of people. They're
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: looking at anybody with over 15 years of experience. They
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: have been sent a buyout package. They're also demanding everybody
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: return to work. You've got to be in the office
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: five days a week. And one reason companies do that,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: it's a good way to get rid of people. A
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: lot of people will quit over it. So it's five
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: days a week in the office. The new owner, David Ellison,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: says he's got to save, he's got to cut $ 6
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: billion in costs. So they're going to fire a lot
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of people. They'll buy them out, pay them off. But
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are going. $ 6 billion. You know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: they owe $ 82 billion. That's the debt on this purchase.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: They got $ 7. 9 billion in cash, but they owe $ 82 billion. Hey,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: as I said, election day today in Israel, it's not
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: certain that Netanyahu will win. There's a lot of opposition
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to him. The challenger, the second place, is Gadi Eisenkot.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And they got different views on the Iran war. Eisenkot
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: believes you can't get regime change. It's never going to happen.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: He believes you got to put tremendous economic pressure on Iran.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And he will back strikes on the nuclear program, but
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: not an all-out return to war. He's a former head
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: of the Israeli Defense Forces. He just thinks regime change,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: he says, is not an achievable goal. He's called for
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: a balance of military strikes and diplomacy to end the war.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'll go with the Netanyahu approach, wipe them out. Hey,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: this is important news. These green scheme climate change people
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: have proven to be wrong every time about everything. They
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: are always wrong on everything. The windmills were a total failure,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: did more environmental harm than just about anything. The solar
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: panels are useless, don't produce enough energy. You know, in Europe,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: parts of Europe, Germany, other countries went totally windmill solar
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: power for about two years, almost two. They had to
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: take it all down. It totally fails. It's None of
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: this stuff works. Remember the paper straws? You can't have
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a plastic straw. You've got to have a paper straw,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: and that's it. Well, the latest detailed study shows that
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: paper straws are worse for the environment than the plastic
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: ones in a lot of ways. Traditional plastic straws had
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a much lower environmental footprint in 10 different categories. Paper
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: straws were found to generate over six times more carcinogens
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: than plastic straws, with double the impact on environmental acidification.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: The paper straws, even the ones from the renewable sources,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you know, like sugar cane, produced 15 times more carcinogenic
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: factors than the regular plastic straws, six times the acidification. Uh,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and that's what the metric that scientists use to measure
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: changes in the ocean and all of that study found
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the paper straws are so small when they, uh, go in,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: when they go into that recycling stuff, they actually don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: get recycled. Almost none of them get recycled. They evade
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the recycling stuff. Uh, and also their water resistant coatings
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: and industrial glues prevent them from breaking down easily demands
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: more energy to during the processing. And leaves open the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: possibility that microplastics could end up in the recycled pulp.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So they are a disaster, the paper struts. They are
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: worse for the environment than the plastic struts. This happens
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: every time the Green Scheme climate change Dems try something. Hey,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to this morning. A
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: lot to talk about. I'm here three hours now. nine
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: to noon every day, nine to noon here on seven,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: 10 W O.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: R live from the W O R life back studios,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the Mark Simone show.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, it's a beautiful day. It's going to be
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: beautiful all week. Bright sunshine. It's a cooler today. It's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: going to be a autumn weather, but beautiful, bright sunshine.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: There's no rain in the forecast for the next six days.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Lot going on all over the place. Now, um, the U.S., Canada,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the tariffs, the trade war, the tariff war, the this, that. Apparently,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: they're very close to settling this. Negotiations have picked up,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: gathering steam, according to Kevin Hassett, director of National Economic Council,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a very good guy. Trump, talking about the timeline, said
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it could be before the election, so expect it later
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: this week. Expect a total settlement of all our Battles
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: with Canada. They've been, he points out, they've been making
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: $ 90 billion a year off us for years and years
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and years, taking advantage of a trade imbalance. So the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: tariffs have kind of leveled the playing field, but they're
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: working out something. Talks have been taking place around the clock.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Our Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, his Canadian counterpart, Dominic LeBlanc,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: have been negotiating. So it looks like that'll be settled
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: very soon. which will not make Democrats happy. They'll be
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: very upset. Look how they're yelling and screaming about these
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: tariffs with Canada. They've made it a big issue in Michigan.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: This is all they do and yell and scream about
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the tariffs with Canada. The tariffs, they're going crazy over it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Now watch when it's settled, they'll never mention it. They
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: won't report it got settled. They'll never mention it ever again.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: They'll go back to calling them a racist or something
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: like that. You know, in Europe, Cities are burning, rioters, protesters.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And these are not students. I mean, started with students,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: but these are Antifa. These are Middle Eastern crazy Islamic
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: terrorist group. I mean, these are all kinds of professional
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: agitators and terrorist groups behind all this stuff. Well, in
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the UK, in the United Kingdom, they just told families
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: to stock up on emergency supplies. They said, Be ready.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: They're talking about be ready for war in the country,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: in the streets. This is actually a campaign they're doing.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: They're telling everybody in the public, stock up on all
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: emergency supplies, food, medicine. Let's see. They're talking canned food,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: stock up canned food, diapers, batteries, backup cell phone charging packs,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: have enough cash indoors. They're worried that systems there could
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: be hacked, the local banking systems could be shut down.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They're worried about terrorism, wildfires, floods, cyber attacks. This is
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: what it's come to in Europe. This is the UK
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: officially making this announcement. So, hey, the other thing, I
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: told you about this new polling. The other thing showing
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: in the polling is more and more swing voters, the independents,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the swing voters, very troubled by socialism. by this democratic
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: socialist crap. Starting to sour on it, when asked about
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: their views, 56% had an unfavorable view. That's up from 50%. 60%
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: feel the Democratic Party is controlled by far-left nuts. That's
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: up from 50% in September. 82% say they favor personal
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: freedom and free markets over government control. People in the survey,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: normal common sense people said nothing is free. There's an
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: agenda behind all these problems. of free benefits. You remember,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: check out my Twitter. If you go to my Twitter,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: there's a great video up there of the lies that
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Obama pushed selling Obamacare. Of course, the big one was
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: But it was more than that. It was him promising
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: over and over again as soon as you put in
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: this obamacare health care costs would drop dramatically of course
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: just the opposite happened they went crazy and uh the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: other thing pointing out if you like your insurance you
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: can keep you well that didn't work you know a
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people have great insurance in this race in
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: michigan you got a lot of auto workers in michigan
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and their union has a health care plan is one
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: of those cadillac plans you don't pay anything nothing you
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: don't pay anything And you get incredible coverage. So to
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: lose that to government health care, this is not something
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: they want to see there. Bruce Blakeman doing better and
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: better and better. But you got to get out there
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and vote. Do it early. Do the early voting. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you can get Blakeman easily across the finish line. He's
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: out campaigning all over the place.
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: Kathy Hochul is the most pro-criminal governor in the United
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: States of America. The Ten Commandments say thou shall not steal.
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: She changed it to thou shall not steal, except in
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: New York.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: He's not exaggerating when he says the most pro-criminal. In
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: other words, and blame Cuomo, too. Cuomo and Hochul have
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: this no bail, no jail thing. which is absolutely ridiculous.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: You can get caught robbing somebody, a holdup, and then
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: they take you to court and they see that this
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: is your 27th time in the last six months. And
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: there's no bail, no jail. You let go right back
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: out in the street to do it again. And they
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: all know this. The criminals all know this. That's why
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: they just do it over and over again. So worst
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: that could happen, they'll be dragged into a police station
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: in a courtroom and lose an hour of the day.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: And then they're back out on the street. That's why
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they come right into stores and steal everything. Just legalize shoplifting.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: They know there's no penalty for it. As long as
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: you're under a thousand dollars. These are professional rings of
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: shoplifters who've trained all these kids how to steal $ 999
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and never hit the thousand dollar mark. And they just
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: do it all the time. That's why everything's locked up
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: in the drugstore. You know, You want razor blade. It's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: locked up. You want some aspirin. It's locked up. You
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: got to push the button for the manager. You got
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to wait five minutes. Then the manager comes over with
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the key looking at you like, why are you bothering me?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Like you really disrupted her day. She's like, Matt, you
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: want to buy something? Now you point. Well, what do
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you want?
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: That.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Then she opens it. Still doesn't know what to hand you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: It's the worst pain in the neck. They're starting to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: do it now in California. Their crime is so out
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: of control. They're starting to do this, believe it or not,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: in supermarkets. The best cuts of beef, the most expensive steaks,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: locked up. You got to push the button, wait for
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the manager to come over and give it to you.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: But this is HOKL. Cuomo started this with the no bail,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: no jail. Police will tell you that most of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: crime on the streets, it's the same 2,500 criminals over
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and over and over again. They know who they are.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: If you let them turn the police loose, they could
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: go round them all up in two weeks and that'd
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: be the end of all of this stuff. And we
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: could go back to normal. But Alvin Bragg and Kathy Hochul,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg is this horrible, horrible district attorney. He doesn't
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: put anybody in jail. Let's all the criminals back out.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And Hochul has the power to remove him. That's another
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: reason you want Blakeman. He'll get something done. He'll put
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: a stop to this. No bail, no jail. And if
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: he has to, he'll remove Alvin Bragg as the district attorney.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: The governor has the power to do that. The district
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: attorneys work for the state, for the governor. DeSantis had
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: to do that in Florida. He had one of these
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg crazies letting everybody loose. DeSantis removed the DA
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: from office and put in a real DA who started
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: locking criminals up and everything changed. Everything got a lot better. Hey,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: we got a lot more to get to. We'll take
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: some calls coming up. All sorts of stuff this morning.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Simone here. Three hours now, nine to noon,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: nine to noon. on 710WOR. Mark Simone is back on 710WOR.
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: Well, hey, we'll take some calls coming up.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: 800-321-0710.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: World Series could be over tonight.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: It's 3-0.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: I got home later last night.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, I'm going to watch this game. It's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: going to be an exciting game, World Series. I turned
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: it on. 10-0 in the seventh. All right, it's not
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: going to be such an exciting game. It turns out
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: it was the mismatch of the century. But, hey, gas prices.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at that. I'm watching CNN. Look at this, CNN.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: This is all talking about gas prices, gas prices, gas prices.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Number one issue, gas prices. Nobody has a lower approval
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: rating with gas prices than President Trump. I hate to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: break it to CNN. There has never been an election
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: in the history of the world where the number one
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: issue was gas prices. Oh, it's an issue. It annoys people.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: especially if you're in a business where you need gasoline
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: to do your business. But it's not the number one issue.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: It never has been. It never will be. It's, again, annoying,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: but you don't see everybody running around yelling about gas prices.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It's not the number one issue. Take it as a
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: tribute to Trump. When they're trying to really get him
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: on something, all they can come up with is gas prices.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: They don't have anything else to hit him with. Otherwise,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: economic statistics are phenomenal right now. Uh, James Carville, you
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: remember the old, uh, James Carville, that, uh, lizard looking, uh,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: old fossil. Uh, he was like the big Clinton, uh, democratic, uh, uh,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you know, analyst, but, uh, he's now yelling and screaming
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: to put to these videos where he's yelling and he's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: screaming at progressives and democratic socialists. He goes, you did
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: irreparable damage. You've destroyed the party. You've done real damage.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: All right, good. First guy to stand up to him,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: but where's Schumer? Where's Hakeem Jeffries on all of this? Hey,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's go
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: to David in California. David, how you doing?
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: Hi, Mark. You were talking about the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotten pretty bad.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: Just wanted to mention really quickly, it's always been two newspapers.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: The editorial side's been conservative and the news side has
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: been very liberal. But here's what's going on.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it's gotten extremely liberal and too much fake news
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: in there lately. Too many fake stories lately.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: Well, but Trump derangement syndrome has taken over the editorial side.
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: But here's the key to it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the news side. News side. I'm talking
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: about the news side. Too many fake stories in there lately.
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: Right, but the way the journalists they're hiring are these
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: students that are so far left. And that's why, well,
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: you see it in TV news, you see it everywhere.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Well, they don't hire students at the Wall Street Journal.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: They hire pretty experienced guys, but it's gone very left
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: and they've been caught with too much fake news lately.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: You know, if you read some of these things, like the,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, they still have a daily news
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: in New York. Remember the daily news? They still print it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: but it's like two interns writing it. So they just
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: put out a list, top 50 restaurants in New York.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: It's the stupidest list you've ever seen because they got
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: some 22-year-old who's getting $ 75 a week to put together
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: this list. It's not like the old days of the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Daily News where the top people in their field are writing.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: It's just a bunch of, couple of kids writing the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: whole thing. Let's go to Chucky in Stony Brook. Chucky,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: Hey, Mark.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Mark, how are you? Good to talk to you. Mark,
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: what is on God's green earth What is with Nancy Sinatra?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: And her bashing of Trump.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: She is, but her father would have loved Donald Trump.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: No, he hated Trump. He hated, well, I'll tell you what. Trump,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of the Trump personality is taken from Frank Sinatra.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: It's the way Frank Sinatra was in real life. When
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: you hear the way Trump talks to the reporters and
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: yells and screams at people, calls people, that was Sinatra
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: in real life. So, he copied a lot of Sinatra's personality,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of it. And then, And that rubbed Mr.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Sinatra.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: No, what happened was when he got the casinos, he
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: then decided to hire Frank Sinatra to play the Taj Mahal.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: That was the biggest thing he could do in the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: casino world. And when he got Sinatra there, he started
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: doing all this stuff to Sinatra, nickel and diming him and,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to screw around with the money. So
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Sinatra wouldn't put up with this. So he ended up
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: hating Trump, hating him.
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I also remember.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Those kids, Nancy and Tina Sinatra, very nice, but they
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: grew up at Beverly Hills High School. It was kind
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: of in Hollywood. You become very left-wing. So their father
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: hated them, and they're very left, which is normal if
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you grew up in L.A. But thanks for calling. Let's
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: go to Jerry, Greenwich, Connecticut. Jerry, how are you doing?
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: I'm doing well. Thank you, Mark. I was wondering if
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: I give a little plug to my good friend, Ryan Fazio,
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: my friend, to vote for him.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're in Connecticut, the governor, Ned Lamont, is
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: running for his third term. He was pretty good the
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: first term, not so hot the last term. He went
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: totally woke and left wing. Throw him the hell out.
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: I would like my friend to vote for him. I
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: like him.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to plug him, and you keep cutting me off.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to promote him. I'm trying to help you here.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: And I know Ryan Fazio. He's a great guy. He'll
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: be a terrific governor. He's a wonderful, honest, decent, common
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: sense guy. So in Connecticut, vote for him. Ryan Fazio
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: for governor.
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I have a sign somewhere alone. It's on North Street,
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: and I hope that my friends vote for him.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. You live on North Street.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: It's one of the most beautiful palatial streets in America.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: These people that put up the lawn signs.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: If you drive around Connecticut, you see these lawns, what
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: do you think? That a guy driving by will see
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a sign and go, oh, my God, I guess I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: got to switch my vote. I got to vote for it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Do you think the lawn sign actually does anything?
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: Well, I stood for President Trump. I'm 87 now, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: I was 85, and I stood for 11 days for
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: President Trump. On North Street, cold, rain.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: All right, but I just want to say, for all
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: of you with your lawn signs, throw the lawn sign away.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: It's not helping anybody. Get out there, call the campaign, volunteer,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: work a phone bank, go knock on doors. That's going
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to help.
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: At my age, I don't have the strength to do it.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: All right, but then you live on North Street. You're
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: a wealthy guy. Donate. Donate to Ryan Fazio.
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: Okay, that's what I'll do. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mark.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks. That's a very important thing. One thing about Democrats,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: they're like an army. They're out there like commandos. Yeah, Republicans,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: they hold cocktail parties. They put up lawns. It doesn't help.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: It's not doing anything. Get out there. Volunteer in a campaign.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Go to work. Do something. Let's go to Mike in Brooklyn. Mike,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: Yesterday during the football game, they were airing an anti-Blakeman commercial.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: And all these liberals could come up with is that
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: he's a Trump supporter. Nothing against policy, nothing like that.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: They just don't want you to vote for him because
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: he's a fan of Trump. Yeah, well, that's a good point.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: You know, the other thing is they did a hell
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: of a lot of opposition research on Blakeman. These dirty Democrats,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the Hochul, you know, dirty tactics. Boy, they did some
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: opposition research on Blakeman. And you know what they came
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: up with?
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: Nothing.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: There's nothing bad about the guy. Nothing in his past.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing. So the attack ads are all that he's
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: friends with Donald Trump. You know, Blakeman... has been in politics,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: he's been in business for 30-something years. Of course he
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: knows Donald Trump. Blakeman was quite the well-prominent New York figure.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows Donald Trump. He agrees with Trump on some things,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: and he disagrees with Trump on some big issues, too.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: But that's all they got on him. If they put
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: an ad on in Monday Night Football, that's an expensive ad.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: So if Hochul spent the money to run an attack
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: ad in Monday Night Football, that means She's panicking. I mean,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: she's seen the real polls, not the fake college polls,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: but the real ones. And that's panic when you spend
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: that kind of money. Primetime Monday night football. That's like
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the most watched thing of the week. So she's really,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: really worried about Blakeman then. She's even got Mom Donnie
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: out there campaigning for her.
• 32:37
  Speaker 16: When they're looking at this gubernatorial election, what they're seeing
• 32:41
  Speaker 16: is that the governor has a clear record and a
• 32:43
  Speaker 16: clear vision of making life more affordable in the nation's
• 32:46
  Speaker 16: most expensive city. And Bruce Blakeman's vision is to work
• 32:50
  Speaker 16: closer with ICE and to create a private militia in
• 32:52
  Speaker 16: Nassau County.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Private militia. He did set up like in the case
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: of the highest emergency terrorist attack. He did put together
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: where ex-cops, ex-military that could be called in as volunteers.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: It's like they do in the, you know, a lot
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: of towns have a volunteer fire department. It's not a militia.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And this part here.
• 33:14
  Speaker 16: When they're looking at this gubernatorial election, what they're seeing
• 33:18
  Speaker 16: is that the governor has a clear record and a
• 33:20
  Speaker 16: clear vision.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's true. He's absolutely right. Kathy Hochul has
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: a clear record. It's not a good one, but it's clear.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: It's pretty clear when you look at it. It's a
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: terrible record. It's awful, but it's clear. It's so clear.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I've seen clear, but this is really clear. It's clear.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: She's no bail, no jail. Let the criminals out. If
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: you're here illegally and committing crimes, ICE is not allowed
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to touch you. She's anti-law enforcement at every level. She
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: wants to tax you to death. She's the one with
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the congestion pricing in every tax rate. She's had 48
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: increases on your electric bill. She set down... fracking she's
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: driven your electric it's a very very clear record it's
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: as clear as can be it's horrible but boy is
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: it clear uh hey we got a lot coming up
• 34:10

  Speaker 11: 710WOR.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, remember we were talking about the Super Bowl
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: halftime show. They have a little committee that picks the
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: halftime entertainment. Jay-Z runs the committee. A lot of people
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: not too happy with the last few choices. Bad Bunny
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: was a little controversial. It was a pretty good show,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: but they've come up with this year's halftime entertainment. They've
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: selected Jay-Z. You say, well, anyway, was he the head
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: of the selection committee? Yes, and he's selected himself. He
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: has said to himself, nobody in the world is as
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: good as me, so it'll be me. Kind of how
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Dick Cheney became vice president. But remember, he was in
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: charge of selecting a vice president. Picked himself. But listen,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Jay-Z's as big and as good as anybody you're going
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: to get, so why not? It's the Apple Music Super
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Bowl halftime show. LXI. What the hell is LXI? That
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: would be 61. 61st Super Bowl this year. Hey, it's
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: going to be a beautiful, sunny day. A little kind
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: of cold, but a beautiful, sunny autumn day. We've got
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: two more hours to go and a lot of stuff
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: to get to. And we'll do that right after the news.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here on 710WOR.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Nine till noon weekdays.
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: More Mark. 710WOR.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Tuesday. It's a beautiful day. A lot going on.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: 60 Minutes. Boy, you can't trust them at all anymore.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You know, the problem is a lot of people still
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: read the New York Times believing it's a newspaper. And
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: some people still watch 60 Minutes thinking it's a news program.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: They don't, you know, when you say fake news, they
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: don't really fully comprehend what it is. You know, it
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: doesn't really sink in. that you're being lied to. There's
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: so many fake stories, totally fake, fraudulent stories. The New
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: York Times has pushed. The Washington Post has pushed. And
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: 60 Minutes has been caught doctoring video. The Kamala Harris interview,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: she wasn't able to answer a question, so they doctored
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: up the video, took an answer from a different question,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: spliced it in. So, I mean, just out and out fraud.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: They just did a piece on the Trump administration. I'm
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: not going to go after CBS again. 60 Minutes just
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: did a piece on this guy that was deported. ICE
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: came and deported the guy. And they did a piece.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: It was so sympathetic. You know, he was a husband.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: He was a father. And they just took him and
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: deported him. And it was a touching piece. He's the
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: father of two. He's married. Well, the Trump administration, furious,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: they forgot to mention this guy committed fraud in his
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: immigration application. He lied. They found all kinds of fraud
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: in his immigration forms, and he lied about everything. So
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: they forgot to mention that in the piece. I mean,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: you could argue, well, you still don't have to, but
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: the point is they forgot to mention it. Now, let's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: be honest. They didn't forget to mention it. They left
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: it out. They deliberately left it out of the story.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: You know, this story has been going around for a
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: week or two about Elon Musk, how he was trying
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: to get people killed. He was on Russia's side. He
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: was helping Putin. Ukraine depends on Starlink to guide their drones. And,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: you know, the killer drones, the military drones. And all
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, Musk throttled them down, shut down their
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: speed on the Starlink. Well, it turns out, and remember
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: at one point they said President Trump ordered it, Musk
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: ordered it. They kept going on with these fake stories.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Turns out it was throttled down. Starlink did shut down,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: slow down deliberately Ukraine's account. But now that all the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: details have come out, it turns out when you're on Starlink,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: you are not allowed to use it for military purposes.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: You can use it on drones, but you can't use
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: it to send drones 150 miles an hour to attack somebody.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't Musk ordering it to slow down. It's
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: built into the software. They have stuff in the software
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: that if they see anybody violating the terms, it automatically
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: slows their account down. And most sites have this. If
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: you do something you're not supposed to do on Facebook,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: it'll throttle down your account immediately. Same thing on Twitter,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: they all have this. It was just built into the software.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: once it got to be a big huge story and
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: musk was told and got involved he got the engineers
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: to fix it but it's automatic now why can't you
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: use starlink for military purposes for attacks uh Well, there's
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: a good reason for that. Now, what they have, they
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: have another thing called Space Shield. That's the military version
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: of Starlink. If you're going to do military stuff, you know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: trying to bomb and kill, you got to use Space Shield.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: The reason they won't allow it on Starlink, Starlink depends
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: on satellites. It's run by satellites in space. And Musk is,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: and this is only logical. Musk has said if he
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: allows it to be used for military use, for instance,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Zelensky blowing up stuff in Moscow, then the next step
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: will be Russia will shoot down the Starlink satellites. And
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: he doesn't want that. He wants Starlink strictly peaceful, doesn't
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: want Russia or China blowing up his satellites. So that's
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the reason. But Ukraine, I don't know why they did it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: They knew they had to use Space Shield, the military version.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: But for some reason, they tried it on Starlink. The
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: software just automatically, it's built into the software. If they
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: see anybody doing anything you're not supposed to do, it
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: slows down their account immediately. So that's all that happened. Now,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: that part of the story naturally is not getting reported
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: by The New York Times, CBS, or any left-wing fake
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: news site. Anthropic has filed for the big IPO. Everybody
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: was waiting for this. They value Anthropic at $ 2 trillion. Actually,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: they've posted a staggering loss in the first half of
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: the year, $ 80 billion, almost $ 81 billion in the first
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: half of the year. But, you know, that's all the
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: big tech companies in the first few years because they
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: just keep pumping it back into the company. So that
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: could spook Wall Street investors because they're all worried about
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: an AI bubble. But the revenue over the same period
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: was $ 16 billion, and that's up from $ 40 million two
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: years ago. So that's a pretty good jump there. So
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: this is going to be a big IPO. It's supposed
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: to happen probably in a month or so. French President
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Macron promises strong measures to stop the protests. He promised
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: on Monday that his government... You see, they're very slow
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: over there. If this was the U.S. and Donald Trump,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: And those protests started, the response would be about an
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: hour later. But it's two weeks into it, and Macron
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: has announced not strong measures. No, he's announced that they're
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: going to announce a package later in the week. Later
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: in the week, they'll announce a package. His prime minister,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Sébastien Lecourneau, is set to hold a news conference after
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: meeting with unions of high school students. Now, there were
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: some students originally in these protests complaining about something.
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: The temperature wasn't right in the classroom. They didn't like
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: the lunch. Something. I don't know. So they're going to
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: meet with these student unions and work that out. Get
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: them out of the mix. The Interior has deployed 70,000
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: police for this weekend coming up. So far, 1,500 people
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: arrested nationwide. But they've got to stop this. They've really
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: got to stop this. President Trump really going after Obama.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Obama going after Trump. By the way, let me repeat this.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I keep repeating this throughout the show. Anytime Obama goes
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: on the stump in campaigns, the person always loses. That's
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: his track record. Remember in 2024, he went out on
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: the campaign trail the last few weeks to stop Trump. Again,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: he always fails on the campaign trail. Obama's only good
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: campaigning for himself. His coattails stink. They always have. But
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Obama attacked him like crazy on everything, every issue. Trump
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: now going after Obama.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: Guys like Obama, they would pass the front door, they'd
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: see the broken.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's talking about Obama, who was in the White
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: House for eight years and let the whole building just decay.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Stuff was crumbling, stuff was broken, and Obama, for eight years,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: never did anything about it.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Guys like Obama, they would pass the front door, they'd
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: see the broken masonry, they'd see the broken, the beautiful
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: pilasters that were all broken... For years, they were broken.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: And he wouldn't notice, because he doesn't notice that. He
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: doesn't notice dirt and filth that hadn't been cleaned, where
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: the walls hadn't been cleaned for years. He doesn't notice
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: areas that haven't been painted. So it's very easy for
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: me to do. I do it very, very simply, because
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: it's my nature. You know, I'm a very clean person.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he's also a professional builder. A professional builder
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: got that eye. He sees everything wrong. Obama, not a
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: professional builder. Never even actually had a job doing anything
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: except politics. Biden, you can't blame because the guy doesn't
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: know where the hell he is. He's just bumping into walls.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: You can't expect him to notice anything.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: You have to remember, the White House, we have to
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: explain that to Obama because he doesn't understand it because
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: he's not a smart guy. Let me tell you, in
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: my opinion, he's not smart at all. Because the way
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: he ran the country, only a stupid person would run
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: the country like that. But we have to explain to
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: Obama that the White House is a symbol of America
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: and it has to be maintained properly.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: See, one good thing about Trump, he's got this thing
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: about he'll go after you for all your faults. But
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: even if you don't have a fault, he'll just make
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: it sound like it is. You know, there's a lot
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: wrong with Obama. You could criticize Obama for a lot
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: of things. I don't think anybody could make this case
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: that he's stupid. Obviously, he's a brilliant guy. You can't
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: say he's stupid. But Trump will do it anyway. That's
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: just the way he is. He's unbelievable at that. He's
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: great at that. You know, like George Clooney, he'll just say,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: he's an ugly guy. I think everybody agrees. He's ugly.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: He's really ugly. He'll just make the case so forcefully
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: and with such confidence. You start believing the guy.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: Guys like Obama don't see it. You don't see dirt.
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: He doesn't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments on
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: a building. The White House to President Obama is a
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: symbol of America. It has to be clean. The columns
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: can't be broken. The bricks can't be falling off from
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: under the plaster. And for you to say it's a
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you're a lousy president.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: He's not going to live down that Cheesecake Factory stuff. Also,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: you know, you're in the Midwest where people love the
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory. Obama talks about it like it's a cheap
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: little nothing. It's a very special place for people in
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: the Midwest. The Cheesecake Factory, and it's great. I mean,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: name a restaurant that has a better menu than the
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake Factory. Anytime the menu's in a book, like a
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: leather-bound book, and it's 47 pages, that's pretty impressive. In fact,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you don't even have to look
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: at the menu. They have everything. Just say anything, whatever
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: you want, they got it on that menu. It is
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: an amazing place. The food is delicious. Everything you order
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: is 4,700 calories. But aside from that, it's a great place.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: You know what people are getting crazier about? The public
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: is starting to rebel against this. These red light cameras
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: are everywhere. Red light cameras are driving people crazy. 600...
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Drivers now starting to protest. First of all, you go
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: through the red light where they got these speed cameras.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: You get a ticket in the mail and you got
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: to pay it. There's nothing you can do. Now, what's
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: driving everybody crazy is there's two cars and 400 bikes
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: on the same street. The bikes are breaking the speed limit.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: The bikes always go through red lights. The bikes go
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: through stop signs. The bikes are up on the sidewalk.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: The bikes are going the wrong way down the street.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Start ticketing them. It's easy to do. You require every
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: bike to get a license. The license must be on
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: the bike. The license could have a chip in it
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: that the cameras can read. First of all, you make
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: a fortune selling the bike licenses. And then every year
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: they got to renew it. And so you make money
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: that way. It's a lot of revenue. And the bikes
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: are breaking the law every second. The revenue will come
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: pouring in off these bikes. Now, after a while, if
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: they keep getting tickets, they'll stop. They'll make sure to
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: stop at the stop sign. They'll make sure to go
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: the speed limit. But that's good. That's good. So either
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: way you win, start ticketing bikes. You've got to do it.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you're going to get that done
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: because politicians hate cars, love bikes, but start ticketing them. E-bikes, e-scooters,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: all that crap and those stupid pedicabs. You know, they
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: got rid of the horse and carriages. There's more problems
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: with those pedicabs, with the illegal alien gang member peddling
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: furiously with two frightened tourists in the back. Get rid
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: of those things. Oh, good news. You know, they say
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: there's no good news. Well, here's some good news. Former
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: FBI Director James Comey facing new criminal charges. This he
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: should have been charged with a long time ago. This
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: story had been around for a while. You remember he
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: had a guy, I think he was a professor at Columbia,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: a professor of journalism or something like that, very close
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: to Comey. And Comey, if he needed stuff, leaked to
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: the New York Times. would show it to his friend,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: and his friend would leak it. That way, Comey never
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: had contact with the New York Times. Comey could say,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: I did not talk to anybody at the New York Times.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't leak it to the New York Times. But
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: the friend did. There was always that story floating around.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: I forget the guy's name. They even named the guy. Well,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: he's now being charged with leaking classified information, transmitting national
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: defense information, but doing it through a third party. There's
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: specific cases of this. There was an October 2016 New
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: York Times article that revealed stuff about our surveillance and
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: spam filters. The New York Times got a hold of it.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: They believe Comey leaked that through his friend. They've indicted him.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think they would have gone ahead with this
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: unless they had the evidence. They've probably gotten cell phone
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: records and GPS stuff and seen these guys together. And
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: then the record of the other guy's cell phone transmitting
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: to the New York Times. Comey, more legal trouble, real
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: legal trouble for him. Hey, New York City district attorneys,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this last hour. Alvin Bragg, the one
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: in the Bronx. These district attorneys are so pro-criminal. They
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: don't put the criminals in jail. They let them right
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: back on the streets. They're anti-ICE. Apparently now, there's certain things,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: if you got charged with serious felonies, committing awful crimes
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: on the street, the ICE agents can deport you over it.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: So apparently, these district attorneys are deliberately downgrading the charges
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: to make sure they're non- deportable offenses. This is the
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: House Judiciary Committee that's done a report. They said New
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: York City's district attorneys are doing this, deliberately covering up
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: for these illegals, deliberately downgrading the charges, even though they
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: just committed a serious crime, downgrading it so they won't
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: get deported. This is unbelievable. Now, the governor, if you
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: get the right governor, and it's Bruce Blakeman, can remove
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: these district attorneys and put real ones in, real crime
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: fighters in. replace these district attorneys. That would change everything.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: So make sure you get out and vote. Do it
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: this week. Do the early voting. Get out and vote.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: It's all about turnout. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number. Give us a call.
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: 800-321-0710.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Carl in New Jersey. Carl,
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark.
• 52:05
  Speaker 17: Thanks for taking my call.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Hold it down. Hold it down. People are sleeping here.
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: Sorry.
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: What people seem to be talking about here in New
• 52:15
  Speaker 17: Jersey is Cory Booker is on the ballot.
• 52:17
  Speaker 15: He's a senator.
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: It's a six-year term.
• 52:19
  Speaker 17: He's running against a guy named Justin Murphy. And he's
• 52:23
  Speaker 17: a nobody, and he's a long shot. But this is
• 52:25
  Speaker 17: a chance to really shake the Democratic cage alive. At
• 52:28
  Speaker 17: the top. And nobody seems to be covering it.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I know, but let's be honest. You people in New Jersey,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: nothing personal, but you people in New Jersey vote in
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: the worst people as governors, as senators.
• 52:41
  Speaker 17: I'm in Mamas County and we went red, but you
• 52:44
  Speaker 17: are not wrong.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: You are not wrong.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: You vote in some wacky governors and that Cory Booker
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: is like, as they call him, the dollar store Obama guy.
• 52:54
  Speaker 17: He's going to run for president again, and if he's
• 52:57
  Speaker 17: in the next cycle, he's going to continue to throw
• 53:00
  Speaker 17: New Jersey under the bus to gain favor with his party.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: He runs for president every time. Nobody knows, but he
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: runs for president every time. Let's go to Larry in Cranford,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. Larry, how are you doing?
• 53:13
  Speaker 18: Hey, Mark.
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: Hi.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: So what has Kathy Holcomb been doing all this time?
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: She's going to lower prices?
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: When?
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: The day after election day?
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a fascinating phenomenon. Democrats have had total
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: control in New York for 15 years. Democrats controlled City Hall,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: the legislature, the governor's mansion, every inch of New York
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: governed by Democrats, 15 years. Now they tell you there's
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: a crime problem. Oh, there's an affordability crisis. There's this.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Electric bills are too high. Well, if this is the case,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: it's all your fault. They should throw you out. It doesn't, it's,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: it's the, Most unbelievable chutzpah ever. Let's go to Diane
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut. Diane, how you doing?
• 53:55
  Speaker 19: I'm doing pretty good. I wanted to speak about James Carville.
• 54:01
  Speaker 19: I was watching him on a show last week, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 19: he was ranting and raving about how much he hates Trump.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:11
  Speaker 19: He said, I hate him. I can't sleep at night
• 54:14
  Speaker 19: because of him. I can't eat. I'm losing weight. I
• 54:20
  Speaker 19: can't have any fun or whatever. I never saw such craziness.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I know. They're like little children. They're like crazy little whining, pouty,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: pouty children. Like they won't go to bed unless you.
• 54:31
  Speaker 19: Give them this. Oh, but he should know better.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I know. It's crazy. Listen, I didn't like Kamala Harris,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: but it didn't keep me up enough. I wasn't losing
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: any sleep over it. I wasn't foaming at the mouth.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: I hated that Joe Biden is president. But I didn't
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: run around screaming about it all day. I didn't go
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: out in the street with a no kings or, in
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: his case, no zombies sign. They're just nuts. But they're
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: like children. It's just childish ranting and raving. Let's go
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 55:04
  Speaker 13: Good morning, Mark.
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: Mark, I'm okay.
• 55:06
  Speaker 13: Speaking about Alvin Bragg downgrading charges and the black community
• 55:10
  Speaker 13: and Hispanic community should be incensed. In fact, today at
• 55:15
  Speaker 13: the arraignment of that dirty cop who shot the guy
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: on the bridge. Alvin Bragg only charged him with manslaughter.
• 55:24
  Speaker 13: That guy should have been charged with murder too, reckless endangerment,
• 55:29
  Speaker 13: reckless discharging of a firearm, which Internal Affairs, before the
• 55:36
  Speaker 13: guy retired, after only seven years, they brought him up
• 55:39
  Speaker 13: on a reckless endangerment for discharging his firearm.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Vincent, Vincent, you seem very familiar with the charging system
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: here in New York.
• 55:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I actually am very familiar. There's no way that
• 55:51
  Speaker 13: that cop should have been charged with on the onset
• 55:55
  Speaker 13: with manslaughter. And here's the reason why. Usually during the
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: course of a trial, depending on which way the trial's going,
• 56:04
  Speaker 13: either the DA or the defense attorney will say, hey.
• 56:09
  Speaker 13: I'll cop out to this. I'll plead out to that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 13: You don't start low so you could go lower. You start,
• 56:15
  Speaker 13: you charge them high, and then you work the charges down.
• 56:19
  Speaker 13: This cop could be out in three years. And knowing that,
• 56:24
  Speaker 13: the family is... planning a protest outside of Central Book
• 56:29
  Speaker 13: in Manhattan today. That's mob stuff with this cop.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, but you would think a left-wing kook like Alvin
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Bragg would overcharge a cop. You think he would hate cops?
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: Well, I guess he's trying to curry favor with the
• 56:41
  Speaker 13: police union and detectives union. But this guy is no
• 56:46
  Speaker 13: altar boy. He retired after seven years. That tells you
• 56:51
  Speaker 13: a lot because internal affairs probably told him, hey, We're
• 56:55
  Speaker 13: going to bring this case against you to court. Either
• 56:58
  Speaker 13: you quit now or we're going to court with this
• 57:01
  Speaker 13: because why would the guy retire after seven years? And
• 57:07
  Speaker 13: this came out last week on WOR and other channels
• 57:11
  Speaker 13: that report the real news, not NPR and those garbage stations.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, Alvin Bragg, the worst district attorney in America.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: If you get a new governor... He can remove Alvin Bragg.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: That would be great.
• 57:24
  Speaker 13: Well, let's hope it happens, Mark.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go out and vote. Vincent, thanks for calling. Go
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: out and vote. Do the early voting. You can do
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: it this week. Hey, when we come back, the brilliant columnist,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Liz Peek, we'll talk to her next on 710WOR. Mark's
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: a mom.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: New York.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peek, the brilliant columnist. You can read her
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: columns at foxnews.com or thehill.com. But even better, go to
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: her website. Everything is there, plus a lot of great stories.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: You go to lizpeek.com, lizpeek.com. Liz Peek, how are you doing?
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: I'm great. Thank you for having me on.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, one week from today, seven days away. What do
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: you think is going on now, midterm-wise?
• 58:18
  Speaker 18: Well, look, I think that we have been hit with
• 58:23
  Speaker 18: a blizzard of negative polls, negative headlines. I think Democrats
• 58:29
  Speaker 18: and the liberal media are throwing absolutely everything at us
• 58:32
  Speaker 18: to make us convinced that the election is basically over
• 58:36
  Speaker 18: and done with and trying to convince Republicans not to
• 58:39
  Speaker 18: bother to vote. Because if you think it's hopeless, Mark,
• 58:43
  Speaker 18: you stay home. And I think that is absolutely what
• 58:46
  Speaker 18: they're trying to accomplish. What I see is tightening poles
• 58:50
  Speaker 18: in a lot of critical races. Michigan's a good example
• 58:53
  Speaker 18: where Abdul Al-Sayed was up over Mike Rogers a few
• 58:56
  Speaker 18: weeks ago by almost four points.
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: And now it's one point or in some cases tied.
• 59:02
  Speaker 18: And that is true in Texas.
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: I think it's true in.
• 59:07
  Speaker 18: Iowa and various other regions. where, you know, yeah, Democrats
• 59:12
  Speaker 18: have put up a really good fight.
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: But when you.
• 59:15
  Speaker 18: Look at the historical bias of polling, and I don't
• 59:21
  Speaker 18: mean that the polls are purposely manufactured to make Republicans
• 59:25
  Speaker 18: look bad, but in something like 13 of the last
• 59:27
  Speaker 18: 14 elections, Republicans have been undercounted, and in particular, according
• 59:32
  Speaker 18: to The Economist, in states that are red states. In
• 59:36
  Speaker 18: other words, you go into Iowa, you go into Texas,
• 59:39
  Speaker 18: and you do a poll, a lot of Trump voters
• 59:42
  Speaker 18: aren't going to respond because they're just ornery and they
• 59:46
  Speaker 18: don't like polling. And maybe they're embarrassed. Their neighbors, you know,
• 59:50
  Speaker 18: they don't know who's going to look at these polls, whatever.
• 59:52
  Speaker 18: But the answer, by three or four points, Republicans are undercounted.
• 59:56
  Speaker 18: And if that is the case... a lot of these
• 59:59
  Speaker 18: supposedly squeaker races are not going to end up being
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 18: as tight as we think. So I am optimistic that
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 18: the GOP will hold the Senate. I think probably the House,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 18: they will not hold.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you never know. You never know. Anything can happen.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: The good news is they sent Obama out, a panicky move,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Obama out on the campaign trail, check his track record.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Everybody he endorses loses. That's generally the case.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 7: True, true.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 18: And You know, I think he's been like out in
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 18: Michigan because El-Sayed lost Detroit, by the way, in the primary.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 18: I mean, if you go back and look at how
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 18: he has done with Black voters, it is terrible. So,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 18: you know, Obama is supposed to be getting out there
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 18: and rallying Black voters to show up for El-Sayed. Is
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 18: that really going to pull, as you point out, it
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 18: has not proved an effective strategy in the past. Maybe
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 18: this time will be different, but I think a lot
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 18: of conservative Black voters are looking at al-Sayed with this
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 18: very clear borderline, I guess we have to say, alleged
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 18: ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 7: And they don't like that. I mean, they're patriotic Americans.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 18: They don't like the fact that this guy is coming
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 18: in and bashing Israel, bashing capitalism. You know, that's just
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 18: not their cup of tea. So I think Jewish... voters
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 18: are definitely having second thoughts. Black voters just may not
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 18: show up. And so I'm, again, I'm sort of optimistic
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 18: that in some of these races, the numbers are not
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 18: really counting what's going to happen.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Here in New York, you know, the Cato Institute
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: does a survey of governors in America. Kathy Ockel just
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: won as the single worst governor in the United States
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: of America. I think Bruce Blakeman's going to do it.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to win.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, man, that would be, would that not be a thunderbolt?
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 18: Because I have likened New York voters to Stockholm Syndrome victims,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 18: where you're held captive and you don't know how to
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 18: get out, but you end up sort of loving your oppressors.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 7: In this case, how.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 18: Could he not be in the bottom of the rankings
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 18: when you have the highest taxes in the country, the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 18: worst conditions to run a business? and just cost of
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 18: living through the roof, cost of electricity, not because of
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 18: the war in Iran, I hesitate to point out, but
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 18: because Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo's policies, Democrat policies, have
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 18: basically made natural gas unavailable to New Yorkers, banning not
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 18: only pipelines, but also fracking, which means that our neighbors
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 18: in Pennsylvania are doing much, much better income-wise and electricity
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 18: price-wise than people in New York. These are policies that
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 18: they should be fired for. Andrew Cuomo was fired, thank God.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 18: Now we should fire Kathy Hochul. And by the way,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 18: if you're worried, if you're a New York City resident,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 18: you're worried about Mamdani, she is, the governor is the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 18: only possible break on Mamdani and she will not be
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 18: that break on Mamdani. So as he continues to throw
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 18: up there all these benefits he wants to provide, programs
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 18: he wants to initiate and so forth, You know, you're
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 18: looking at higher taxes.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: You're looking at.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 18: Losing more taxpayers to Florida and Texas and Tennessee and
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 18: other low-tax locales.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: This is not working. And I think, you know, the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: sooner there's a political.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 18: And, you know, Mark, what drives me nuts is that
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 18: Republicans in this state are so fatalistic. It's sort of like, oh,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 18: you can't elect a Republican. Well, George Pataki was a Republican.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 18: Mike Bloomberg was elected mayor of New York City, for
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 18: heaven's sakes, as a Republican in because people were so
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 18: fed up with Democrat incompetence.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: That's where we are now. That's, I think, where we
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 7: will be very shortly.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: You know, the governor has the power to remove the
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: district attorneys. It's a state job. He could put in
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: real crime fighters that could turn everything around crime-wise.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 18: Yeah, and just justice-wise. I mean, we've had, you know,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 18: somebody in the DA post, Attorney General post, who has
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 18: had political vendettas. I mean, it's hilarious when they talk
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 18: about Trump going after his enemies.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: My God.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 18: I mean, what do they think Letitia James has done
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 18: over the last many years? All she has really targeted,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 18: as far as I can see, is political enemies like
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 18: Donald Trump, creating cases where they went after him on
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 18: the most preposterous, even described by the New York Times
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 18: as creative charges and basically not done her job in
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 18: terms of locking up criminals. Mark, imagine if somebody you
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 18: loved was shoved in the front of a subway train
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 18: and killed or stabbed to death in the park or whatever,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 18: and you found out that same person had been arrested
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 18: for similar things not long prior to that and put
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 18: back out on the streets. How can people tolerate this?
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 18: I don't understand it.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: We're talking to Liz Peek, the great columnist. Listen, gas
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: prices are too high. They're not Joe Biden high, but
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: they're high. And it's an issue, but it's not the issue.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: If you watch the fake news, they make it sound
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: like the entire election is going to be based on
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: gas prices. That's never happened in history where the number
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: one issue was gas prices, right? There's more to it.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 18: Well, I mean, they want us to believe that everything
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 18: that's wrong with the economy, and there is nothing wrong
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 18: with the economy except high oil and gas prices. is
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 18: the fault of exclusively Donald Trump. I can tell you
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 18: in states like New York and California, energy costs and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 18: electricity costs were going 60, 50% above the national average
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 18: way before the.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: War in Iran. Yes, the war in Iran has elevated
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: oil prices. There's no question. Thank God that President Trump
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: has also at the same time pushed domestic energy production
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: so hard Otherwise, we would be in big trouble and
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 7: we're not. I mean, this is, yes, one element that
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: is causing concerns.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 18: But Mark, when you have a conversation about affordability and
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 18: you look at the most, you know, these are easy
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 18: rankings to uncover. The most unaffordable places to live in America,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 18: without exception, are run by Democrats. I don't mean just
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 18: run by Democrat mayors. When they take over a state
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 18: like California or New Jersey or New York and they
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: impose their policies of high taxes, tight regulations, anti-fossil fuel mandates,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 18: et cetera, guess what?
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: You end up with unaffordable living.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 18: And that's those, it's really, I mean, it's genius that
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 18: Democrats have co-opted this issue when they absolutely don't have
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 18: any credibility or should not have at all, right?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're going to yell and scream about Trump
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: and $ 4. 30 for gas, how come you're right? They never
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: mentioned Gavin Newsom and his $ 8 a gallon gas.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, or high taxes.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 18: Where do people think, if you're a company and you're
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 18: operating in New York or California, Illinois, New Jersey, it's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 18: not just these two states, and you have high corporate taxes,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 18: do people not understand that those taxes are not swallowed
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 18: by the business and they're passed along.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 7: In terms of higher prices.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 18: Don't they understand that if you delay and make very
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 18: cumbersome the act of building a home, that home prices
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 18: are probably 50 to 60 to 70% higher than they
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 18: would be in a state that is more flexible, more.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 7: Permissive in terms of handing out permits.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 18: I will tell you, I have been trying to add
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 18: on to a house in Westchester County in New York
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 18: A minor, minor adjustment in this house. And it has
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 18: taken months to get a permit. And I got to
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 18: tell you, I am not alone. Everybody is bitching about
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 18: the same thing.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 7: And guess what? Every day that you sit there and
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: it doesn't happen, the price goes up.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it's seven days away. Everybody get out and vote early.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Early voting is important. Do it this week. You vote early.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: You can sail right in, breeze through, no lines.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: True.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peek, brilliant as always. Everybody read her website, LizPeek.com.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: Her columns, everything's up there. LizPeek.com. And thanks for being
• 1:08:33

  Speaker 9: Bye-bye.

  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Everybody get out and vote. Do it today. Do it tomorrow.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: The early voting is the easiest. It's all about turnout.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: If Republicans turn out in great numbers, they win. It's
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: that simple. If they don't turn out in great numbers,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: they lose. So get out there and vote. Do the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: early voting. Hey, coming up at noon, Buck Sexton and

• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: until maybe Tuesday. So you got one week with no
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: rain at all. Tuesday, by the way, is election day.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: You see what I mean? Do the early voting. I mean,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: you can't tell a week ahead of time how accurate
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: the forecast is, but right now it's supposed to rain
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: election day. Go out and do the early voting. It's easier.

  Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. The election is seven days from now, exactly
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: one week from today. But don't wait. Start doing the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: early voting. As you heard on the news, in New
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: York State, 1.2 million have already early voted. Now, the
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: early voters tend to be the Democrats. I don't know why,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: but Republicans like to wait till Election Day. Maybe they're
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: just more traditional. But Democrats are great with the early voting. Republicans,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: you've got to catch up. Get out there and vote early.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Early voting, much easier, much better. No lines. You get
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: it done. So do it. You can do it today
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: in New York, tomorrow. You can do it all week
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: long or on the weekend. Do the early voting. Around
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: the country, it's up to about 26 million people have
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: already early voted. So get out there and do it.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: A lot going on. There's a Fed meeting that starts today.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: It'll go for two days. We'll see if there's a...
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: A raid hike. They've got everybody out in the campaign trail.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: Vice President Vance will head to Michigan today. Rogers was
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: a couple of points behind the crazy anti-Semitic El-Sayed. He's
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: caught up. But they're pushing hard. Vance in Michigan again today.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: President Trump's headed to Texas this afternoon. He'll be in
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Corpus Christi, Texas. Big rally. Then he'll do another rally
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: in Lubbock, Texas. He's like an Energizer bunny crazy, running
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: around the country doing all this stuff. Let's see. They're
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: surveying people at the polling places. 44% are voting Democrat. Again,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: that's the early vote. Oh, wait a minute. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. I just saw it's a Marist poll. It's
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: an NPR poll. It's a PBS poll. It means the
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: metrics are slanted. It's totally rigged. So, sorry. If they
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: say 44% are voting Democrat, that means it's 34% voting Democrat.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: And all these rigged polls, these college polls, these media polls,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: so rigged, so phony, all to suppress turnout. That's the
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: whole point of them. Do you remember that horrible road
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: rage incident? That ex-cop runs, tries to run this guy
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: off the road, takes out his gun, shoots him, kills him.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Very nice man, family man. And when it was time
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: to go to court, I guess because he's an ex-cop,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: the court officer snuck him in, snuck him out. Well,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: they finally got a photo of him. New York Post
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: just for the first time ever showed this guy's face.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: They caught him coming into a courthouse. And they got
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: him outside. They were in the right spot as he
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: got out of the car. It's the first photograph that's
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: been made public of him. And his name is Victor Romero.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: He's 62, ex-cop. was working for a big company, driving
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: the CEO around. CEOs love to have ex-cops as drivers
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: because they've got a gun. It's protection. They've got a
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: badge in case you need to get through a street
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: that's closed or something like that. It works. So he's
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: been released on a million dollars bail. He did make
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: a court appearance. They do have a photo if you
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: want to see what he looks like. New York Post.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: Just put it up. The Apple Duo, that's the foldable phone.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: More people complaining. You know what? Stop whining. Use your
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: regular phone. Use this iPhone 18. It's perfect. You don't
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: need to unfold it. If you want a screen that size,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: get the iPad Mini. It's perfect. Works better than the Duo. Hey,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: by the way, if you're going to get the iPhone Mini,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: hang on. Apparently, there's a new one coming out. They're
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: going to unveil a whole new one, much improved one,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: in a week or two. So hold off on that.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: Don't get it just yet. You know, they hate Elon Musk.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: They hate Elon Musk so much. He's done two things
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: that Democrats think are despicable. One, he's donated to Republicans.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: The other thing, of course, is Doge. He tried to
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: cut down government waste and fraud. And Democrats, well, Republicans too, Congress, government,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: they love waste and fraud. It's the business model. You
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: give out huge contracts. You give them to unions, special
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: interest groups, donors. You tell them, charge us six times
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: as much. Take ten times longer than usual. Put more
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: people on the job than you need. They do that
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: in exchange for donations, in exchange for whatever they need.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: But Musk tried to bust up that... government waste and
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: fraud system. You know, they got in these cabinet departments,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: you know, the state department, they got 27,000 people working there.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows what the hell they do. So they hate Musk.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: They've been denouncing him, attacking him. And the other side
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: of Musk is a genius. He's Ben Franklin. He's Thomas Edison.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: This guy's inventing stuff that's unbelievable. He perfected the electric car,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: the Tesla. He's launching rockets into space. Remember when our
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: astronauts were stranded in the space station? We didn't know
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: how to get them down. Musk had to go up
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: there with his spaceships and get them down. He's perfected Starlink.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: That's going to be the future of communication. By the way,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: come back in 10 years, there'll be no cell towers anywhere.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: It'll be all Starlink, which means perfect signal everywhere. No
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: dead zones. It'll all be coming from their satellites, the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: cell service. The data centers, the AI, the data centers,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: it's all going to be in space. thanks to Musk.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: Musk is inventing flying cars. Musk is inventing and perfecting everything.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: It's like you're watching Thomas Edison. He's going to go
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: down in history as an incredible figure. But right now,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Democrats are trying to destroy the guy. So they attack
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: him left and right. They want to prosecute him. Well,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: now look, they're coming right out and saying it. This
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: is Robert Reich. Remember the Clinton guy? The little Clinton guy?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Cabinet Secretary Robert Reich, who used to be quite the... respectable,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: you know, legitimate sort of a figure, but now he's
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: gone crazy with the rest of the Democrats. You know,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: they were talking about defund Musk. He is now saying,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: this is Robert Reich, major Democratic figure. He's saying the
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: government should seize Elon Musk's companies. He's not the only one.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear more about this. Bernie Sanders, these types.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: This is going to be the new thing. They want
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: the government to seize Starlink companies. to seize SpaceX, to
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: actually take control of Musk's companies. Reich says it should
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: be a public corporation. We should never have that kind
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: of power in one person's hands. Musk is trying to
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: buy the Senate from Texas. Why should we allow this? Well,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: you're fine when Soros does it. You're fine when the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: Democratic billionaire donors do it. They're buying elections all the time.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Reich says, this is like what happened in the first
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Gilded Age when we had robber barons. Well, robber barons,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: that's what they ended up calling the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: but these are the guys that built the country, basically,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: the railroads, everything. I say this is exhibit A in
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: terms of a billionaire takeover of America. The oligarch problem.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Musk represents the power of oligarchy. But again, Soros has
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: given more money to politics than Musk ever has. Soros
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: has tampered with more things. Soros is the guy that
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: funded these crazy DAs that let all the criminals loose.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Soros is the guy that funded and got all these
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: crazy secretaries of state elected. that got rid of voter
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: ID and all that stuff. He's done more to damage
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: American democracy than anybody in history. But Reich goes on
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: to say, if we have a democratic administration and Democrats
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: ought to be starting this, not just with oversight hearings,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: but laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX. Nationalize it.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: That means the government sees it. Musk on Twitter replied,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: stealing companies is a very serious crime. Should be prison
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: for Robert Reich. Prison. It's also, you know, they yell Hitler, Nazi.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: This is what Hitler and Nazis do. They seize your company.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: They seize your property. Hey, this Bob Woodward, is an
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: interesting character. You know, there was Woodward and Bernstein and
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: of course Watergate and all of that. And then over
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: the years they split up. Uh, Carl Bernstein's kind of a,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know, sort of a sleazy sort of a
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: characters to some people. Uh, Woodward is be, you know,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: continued as a respectable Washington journalist writing his books and everything. But, uh,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: there's a side of Bob Woodward. A lot of people
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: don't trust him at all. You know, uh, Remember how
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: he got into the CIA director William Casey's hospital bed
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: as he was dying and got secret confessions out of Casey? Well,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: nobody believed that story. Casey was the CIA director, heavily guarded.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: Nobody got into his hospital room like that. So people think,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think a lot of Woodward stuff
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: is made up. So he's written a new book. But
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: through the years, a guy like Woodward would have amazing
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: sources of In Washington, D.C., people in government sources that
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: tip him off, leak stuff to him. All top journalists
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: have that. So Woodward is writing. It's a new book.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: It's 600 pages. It's called Secrets, A Reporter's Memoir. That's
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: a hell of an ego, 600 pages. Who the hell
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: wants to read 600 pages? But he does something I've
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: never seen before. He reveals his sources. Woodward is 83 now.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: And many of the sources are now dead. They've all died.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: So he's revealing who they are. You know, it's the
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: one thing when you have a secret source, especially somebody
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: in government, you don't, you always protect their identity. Journalists
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: go to prison over that to protect the identity of
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: the source. He's revealing them. Now, there was that famous
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: thing he wrote about the final days of Nixon in
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: the White House, how Nixon was drunk, wandering around, At
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: one point, he made Henry Kissinger get on his knees
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: with him, and they both prayed. It was a very
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: strange scene that Woodward reported. He's now revealing it was
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: two of Kissinger's deputies who leaked it to him, Brent
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: Scowcroft and Lawrence Eagleburg. These are top government officials. Now,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: they're all dead. The problem is you've got to trust Woodward.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: These guys are all dead. They can't deny it. They're
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: not around to say it's not true. But in the book,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: Woodward says Scowcroft, very respected figure, national security advisor, Gerald
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Ford and Bush Sr. Woodward says the guy was a
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: secret source for 35 years. He was leaking stuff to me.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: Woodward also says, back to the Nixon days, Watergate, all that,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: two of Nixon's defense lawyers, Fred Buzzhardt, Leonard Garment, remember
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: those names, were secret sources revealing stuff to him. But again,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: These poor guys are dead. They can't deny this stuff.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: So who knows? You got to trust Woodward that this
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: is true. He also says Stanley Sporkin, CIA general counsel.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: These are big government figures. Was an important special source
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: leaking stuff. Sam Dash, you remember him? He was the
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: Senate Watergate Committee. Woodward claims he was a leaker. Secret
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: source giving him stuff. C. Boyden Gray is a very
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: distinguished commentator. Washington figure, I mean, a real swamp guy,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: but he was White House counsel, George H.W.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 9: Bush.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: Woodward says during the Bush presidency and vice presidency, he
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: was leaking stuff to Woodward. But again, I don't know.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: These guys aren't around to deny it. Woodward could be
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: just making that up. And even if it's true, why
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: would you reveal that these guys were leaking stuff? I mean,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: these guys are.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: They got families. They got kids. They got... I mean,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: why would you do that? Why leak that out? Hey,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: don't forget coming up Saturday night. It's Halloween Saturday night.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: But also, we go off daylight saving time Saturday night.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: Starting Sunday, it'll be dark out at 5 o'clock and
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: soon 4.30. We go off daylight saving time Saturday night
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: at 2 in the morning. It becomes 1 a.m. So
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: you'll gain an hour of sleep Saturday night. Hey, Bill Maher,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: saying what we've been saying, that if, if, it's a
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: big if, but let's say the Democrats win the House,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: win the Senate, take over Congress. He says that will
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: ruin them for 2028 because they'll, according to Maher, they'll
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: learn all the wrong lessons. They'll start holding hearings every
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: second on everybody. They'll investigate Trump's grandchildren. They'll impeach Trump.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: They'll shut down drilling. They'll do all kinds of crazy things.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: And that will kill any chance they have in 2028.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: It will guarantee a Republican president. So if, if, if
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: Democrats win everything, that's one bright side. Also, remember, here's
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: a big article here. These left-wingers are already writing, you know,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: if Trump loses the midterms, if the midterms are all Democrats,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: that's the end of the Trump era. That's it. Well,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: first of all, every president loses the House and the
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: Senate in the midterms. It always happens, especially in the
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: second term. It's tradition. Nobody ever said, well, that's the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: end of Obama. That's the end of Clinton. But things
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: are different. Double standard. It's Trump. Anyway, we've got a
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: lot to get to. We'll take some calls next. We
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: love having new callers. If you never called before, give
• 1:25:10

  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 15: Uh, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm a first time caller, one
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 15: time listener. Um, I wanted to talk to you the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 15: other day, you were talking about the, the guy would
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 15: about the ingredients and potato chips.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 15: Uh, you were right. And he was right. I, uh,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 15: I checked out the suit, like the, the original lays
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 15: are just potatoes, salt and oil, but, but then the,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 15: and then, but the other ones were all different flavors.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 15: They have all sorts of stuff.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 9: So you were right about that.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not me. You just got to check. Uh,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: there is such a thing as healthy potato chips, potatoes, salt, oil.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: But most of them have tons and tons of chemicals
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: in them. You're right.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 15: All the ones with flavors and stuff like that, yeah.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 15: I just want to say I've been listening to you
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 15: when you were on the other station. I always enjoyed
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 15: listening to you.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: And where are you in the Bronx?
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 15: I'm in the Morris Park area.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Very nice.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 15: I'm in Park Lane, Morris Park, yeah.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: You ever go to Arthur Avenue?
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 5: I grew up there.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: Is it still great?
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Food, everything?
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: Still great.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 15: Well, yeah, there's good restaurants. You know, the neighborhood, like
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 15: I used to live down on 184th Street on St.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 15: Bonaventure Hospital, and that area's changed, you know. But also
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 15: Avenue 187th Street, you know, they're nice. A lot of
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 15: good businesses there, restaurants, bakeries.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Let's go to Lorenzo
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut. Lorenzo, how are you doing?
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, Lorenzo.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 9: Hey, you're a really good sport. I listened to you
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 9: when you guest hosted for Sean Hannity. He's a great American,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: and you're not bad yourself. But I have to admit.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: What's the problem?
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 9: Why did he get married?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The poor guy. What the hell did
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: he do? I don't know. Some people like to be married.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Some people.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 9: Well, my first reaction when I hear that so-and-so is
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 9: getting married is, on purpose?
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a good point. That's a good point.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to a wedding. The women are crying.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: They're so happy. They're crying. I feel so bad for
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: the guy. I feel like he's going to prison or something.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Whoever's getting married, you know? And then there's that old
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: story about the wedding night, the honeymoon, the wedding night.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: He says to her, Tell me, am I the first?
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: And she says, why has everybody asked that? So I
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know. More and more people staying single.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. Less and less people getting married. Let's go
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing? Hey,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: good morning, Mark. How are you, sir? Good. Let me check.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 14: Anyway, I'm just calling because You know, I keep hearing
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 14: about the midterms being a disaster for the Republicans, but
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 14: they don't really ever look back to the midterms of
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 14: 2022 when they said there was going to be this.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 5: Big red wave.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 14: And it didn't materialize because we had pretty crappy candidates
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 14: back then. And now it's going to be a blue wave. Well,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 14: guess what? The Democrats have a lot of crappy candidates, too.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 14: And I don't know. I don't see this wave happening.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just me hoping. This is all put out
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: there to discourage you from voting. The fake rigged polls
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: are called suppression polls to make you think it's hopeless
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: so you stay at home. Don't listen to any of them.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: Right now, it looks like the Republicans will keep the Senate.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: Right now, the House is too close to call. It's
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: all going to be about turnout. Don't believe these fake
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: college polls, these fake media polls. The metrics in them
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: are so rigged. That college poll last week, the sample
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: was $ 80. 80, 8-0, 80% Democrats in the sample. And
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: they didn't use the voter rolls. It was a terrible poll.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: So don't fall for that. Right now, it's deadlocked as
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: far as nobody can predict the House. It could go
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: either way. It's all about turnout. Republicans, if you turn out,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: you'll win. If there's big Republican turnout, definitely will win.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Tom, Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Tom?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark. Mark, why do you suppose it's called
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 12: the World Series? When only two nations are represented?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: Well, for years it was one nation. It sounds good.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: It sounds good. The World Series.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, the same with the NBA. They claim to be
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 12: the world champions. I like to see it more like
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 12: the Little League World Series where they play a lot
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 12: of different countries.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: I hate when they play other countries.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 9: Oh, really? Yeah. Who the hell?
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: I want to see them play the Red Sox from Boston.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see them play Peru or Finland.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Who the hell wants to see that?
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 12: Well, I'd like to see them because most of the
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 12: players in the NBA and baseball are from other countries.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 12: Maybe that's why they consider it a world championship.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: I know, but they all come here, you'll notice. I
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: don't know. You're right. It's not the World Series. But
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: I hate you. It's like when you watch the Olympics
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: or soccer. That's the problem with soccer. It's Norway versus Chile.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: Who the hell am I supposed to root for? I mean,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. It's different if it's like the
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: World Series now. It's Tampa Bay and Milwaukee. I don't know.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: So you get into that National League versus American League,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: whatever fan you are. But, you know, just keep it American.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: Keep it American. But it looks like the World Series
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: could be over tonight. It's 3-0. It looks like the
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: most lopsided series ever. Hey, when we come back, Bill O'Reilly.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to him next. On 710WOR. Mark Simone.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. Well, Bill O'Reilly, the number one TV anchor
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: for decades. He's the number one best-selling non-fiction author on earth.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: You should get his latest book, Confronting America. Fascinating book.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: It's probably the best one he's written so far. Confronting
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: America is available online. Right now, go to Amazon. You
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: can get it there. You can get his new podcast.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: We'll do it live. You can get the TV show,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: the column. You can get everything at BillOReilly.com. Go to
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: his website, BillOReilly.com. Bill O'Reilly, how are you doing?
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 11: You know, I'm trying to digest the Cato report that
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 11: says Kathy Ogle is the worst governor in the country.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: It's quite an honor.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 11: I think anybody could top Pritzker in Illinois, but apparently,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 11: according to Cato, Ms. Vogel does.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 11: Anything, of course, because the voters are casting their ballots
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 11: with emotion, not in a rational way. But it is
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 11: pretty chilling that we're the highest state in the union
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 11: as far as taxes are concerned. And now, This agency,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 11: which is not a conservative, it's a libertarian agency, Cato, says, look,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 11: nothing works in New York, and the governor sits there,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 11: and things get worse and worse and worse, so she
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 11: is the worst out of the 50.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's been declared worst governor in America. This
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: will be the least covered story in New York, of course,
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: by the media.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 11: Right. Although the Blakeman people should run... you know, a
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 11: spot or two on this. However, I think people's minds
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 11: are made up at this point. You know, it's a
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 11: week away, and I don't know if there's too many
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 11: undecided people floating around in New York right now.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Obama on the campaign trail, getting into quite
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: a verbal battle with Donald Trump. Is Obama effective on
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: the campaign trail?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 11: African-Americans like him. He can pull boats out in Michigan
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 11: for Al-Said. The thing about Barack Obama is his evolution.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 11: And I've covered you guys in the very beginning when
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 11: I had that kind of brawl with his body man
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 11: up in New Hampshire. I don't know if you remember that.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 11: But it is in my book, Confronting America. The guy
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 11: tried to block us from shooting it. Then Senator Obama
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 11: was up for a rally. This is a big guy.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 11: He kept moving in front of my cameraman. I politely
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 11: at first told him, you know, stop it.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: And he wouldn't.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 11: So I had to take vigilante action, which I did.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 11: And it's a funny story. But Obama back then was
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 11: not who Obama is now. And that always fascinates me.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 11: So Trump and Obama, they don't like each other, but
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 11: interestingly enough, when they're together in person, they yuck it up.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 11: I mean, you remember the few times they.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 9: Were at memorial services and everything? Yeah.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 11: They're not brawling or pouting or looking away. But when
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 11: former President Obama went down to Florida to endorse this
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 11: Angie Nixon thing, uh... who is a full blown communist
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 11: that gave me pause you know i'm going to is
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 11: it just about opportunism for you because you got four
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 11: lavish homes and angie wants to seize at least two
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 11: of them what are you doing you know but there's
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 11: never a question to barack obama from the press about
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 11: his evolution from kind of a left-wing mainstream guy And
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 11: now he's endorsing communists and Islamists. Al-Said is not a communist.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 11: He's an Islamist. And Obama is endorsing both of those people.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 11: It kind of surprised me.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. When he went after President Trump's decorating, let's be honest,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's going to take a picture of
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office and say to their decorator, hey, do
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: this for me. I want this. But it's his own taste.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: But when he went after the Cheesecake Factory, did that
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: show how out of touch he is with normal America?
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 13: It's a joke.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 11: And I was in the Oval Office myself three weeks ago.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: It looks great.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 11: And I'm not a gaudy guy.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not a gold guy.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 11: But it looked great to me. And I was in
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 11: the Oval Office when Barack Obama was president. It looked
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 11: good then. But it spruced up. in Trump's style, but
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 11: that was just a joke, a one-liner. I mean, the
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 11: luckiest people on Earth are the Cheesecake Factory people, right?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 11: Now everybody's running in. They should have an Obama and
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 11: Trump special every day.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: The Cheesecake people.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 11: So, I don't take any of that seriously. You'll find
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 11: this interesting, Simone, because you follow this stuff. I told
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 11: my staff this morning enough with the social media cranks
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 11: on both sides. Enough. I don't want to hear about them.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 11: I don't care what they say. It doesn't matter to
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 11: the country. They're just trying to do it to get
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 11: attention and money, sell ads or whatever, give speeches. I
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 11: don't want to even, I don't want you guys to
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: even present it to me, no matter how bizarre it is.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 11: It doesn't matter. It's a con. okay? I know all
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 11: these people personally, all of them, and I know why
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 11: they're doing what they're doing, and it doesn't matter. What
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: matters is corruption at the government level, like Alaska. Alaska,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 11: when you sneak a name onto a ballot, The same
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 11: name as a Republican running for the Senate?
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 13: Who did that?
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 11: Who snuck the name on there? The guy's an ex-school teacher.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 11: He hasn't done one event. His name is Dan Sullivan,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: and Dan Sullivan is the name of the principal GOP.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: Guy on the ballot.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 11: Who did it? Well, the media doesn't want to know.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 5: Who did it.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 11: They have no interest at all. And the Justice Department
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 11: is now getting involved to find out how this could
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 11: possibly happen.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 13: That's a good story.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 11: That's corruption. And of course, you know, you put on
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 11: CNN and it's, oh, look at Trump's doing. Yeah, that's
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 11: Trump's job to root out corruption. Okay, you got it? Oh,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 11: that just gets me crazy.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: You used to work at CBS News. Do you ever
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: think you'd live to see the day where they don't
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: investigate major stories?
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 11: I have to answer honestly. And I have that big
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 11: story in Confronting America, what has to change, about me
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 11: and Dan Rather. I saw it up close, eye to eye.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 11: I saw the corruption. I knew what Rather was trying
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 11: to do. And I left.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 5: I left the job. I went to Boston.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 11: And I just couldn't work there. Now, when I worked
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 11: at ABC, because I came back to New York at
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 11: Rune Arledge's request, that was not in play there then.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 11: Jennings wouldn't do that, but rather did it from the jump.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 11: And so to answer your question, yeah, I saw it.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 11: And then it got worse and worse and worse and
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 11: worse at CBS.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 12: Hmm.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Cronkite, he was a left-wing guy, but he tried
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: to keep the slant down to a minimum.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he was a World War II guy. All those
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 11: guys who trained.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: In World War II in Europe, Murrow.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 11: And Cronkite, they were all there, and they had rules
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 11: for the road. That's what we do. They're all liberal guys,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 11: all of them. But that's okay. That's all right. As
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 11: long as you're not trying to impose or twist the
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 11: news in a certain way to benefit your own belief system,
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 11: it's fine. But what Rather did was he wanted to
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 11: impose his view of the world and the country on
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 11: every single individual at CBS News. And I'm not standing
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 11: for it. And I wasn't even, I was a reporter,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 11: I was a commentator back then, I was covering the wars.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 11: But what they did to me and others was awful,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 11: and that's why I have that chapter in Confronting America
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 11: about it.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so rather, he really was the father of modern-day
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: fake news. He really opened up this can of worms
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: for everybody.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 11: Well, he's 95 years old now, and he's still pushing
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: the left agenda. Still doing it. And as you may remember,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 11: he got booted out of CBS because he dealt with
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 11: fake documents about Bush the Younger's National Guard service. And
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 11: I wasn't surprised they caught him because he was so
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 11: blatant about it. It was so obvious. So anyway, look,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 11: we're in a bad place, but the good news is
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 11: that there are outlets where you can get the truth
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 11: in the media and in social media. But a lot
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: of people, they just hear this stuff and they believe
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 11: it and, oh, boy. The affordability thing is the best.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 11: The affordability thing. You think the Democratic Party is going
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 11: to make your life more affordable?
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 9: Do you really believe that?
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 11: When for the past 50 years that party has done
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 11: nothing but raise taxes? When there was the big tax-cutting bill,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 11: the big beautiful bill, not one Democrat in Congress voted
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 11: for it? And you think... that these people are going
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: to make your wallet heavier? And when I hear and
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 11: see that, I just think the person is either brainwashed
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 11: or stupid. Okay, because we all live in New York
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: now and in Jersey and Connecticut, the highest taxed states
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 11: in the union.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: Because they're controlled by Democrats. Bill O'Reilly, we're out of time. But, hey,
