  Speaker 2: Hey, good morning. Happy Columbus Day to you and everyone.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. So, yeah, I think the great thing about
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: one of the great things about President Trump is that
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: he's into substance and truth. And except for when Zelensky
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: showed up at the meeting at the White House in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: his T-shirt, we don't care what people look like or
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: how they dress. It's all about the substance.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We don't?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We don't? Of course we do.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You see Fetterman show up in shorts in Congress. You think,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: what the hell is he dressed like that for? Don't you?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Well, that's how he is.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I know, but let's say it's your wedding and he
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: shows up with the sneakers and the shorts and the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: baseball hat. Wouldn't you say, can't you get dressed up
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for my wedding?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Well, that's different. That's a special event.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Well, so is Congress.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Well, maybe he would change, but I don't think
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: he'd be dictated to by President Trump. And Katie just
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: happens to be a beautiful, highly intelligent woman. And it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: really amazing how beautiful women just seem to be, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: don't know, more representative in the constitutional republic, non-woke progressives.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a Trump thing. Trump likes people, as he
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: would say, out of central casting. He likes a good-looking,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: beautiful spokesperson, unlike other presidents who have some pretty raggedy-looking
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: spokespeople before. Although, Trump started, the first spokesperson was Sean Spicer,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and he was good, but he was like an establishment guy.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But then he went with the beautiful blondes.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Of course, because she was competent.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It did a great job.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It wasn't just because she looked great.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: No, it's a tough job. You've got to be good
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: at that. All right, Lauren, thanks for calling. Let's go
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to Simon in Brooklyn. Simon, how are you doing? How
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I wanted to get your thoughts on Hochul trying to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: get the Jewish vote by putting out a statement three
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: days ago that she backs the federal scholarship tax credit
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: program now. which, you know, anybody could stand there and say, oh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I support this, support that, but.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Our policies are just the opposite.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, who's she fooling over that?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: In her defense, listen, she's not that bright. She has
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: an IQ maybe, what, 95? She's not that bright. She's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a cunning politician, you know, years in politics, but not
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that bright. You know, Blakeman, he could talk about anything.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He knows what he's talking about. But what you're talking about,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the federal tax credit initiative, whatever the hell you said,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: she doesn't understand any of that. If you're not that bright,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's tough to do what she's doing. She's like walking
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: this tightrope between the left-wing socialist Mamdani crowd and normal people.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And it's tough to do. You got to be really
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: skilled to do that. She doesn't really have that kind
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of skill. Her whole life right now is just trying
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to get Mamdani not to turn on her. She wants
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the Mamdani voters to get elected governor. You have to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: win 37% of New York. Some will say 35%, but, uh,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: She just wants to, if she's going to beat Blakeman,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it's going to be in New York City. Blakeman easily
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: wins the rest of New York State, but she's trying
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to get big turnout in New York City. So she's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: trying way too hard to appease the Mamdani crowd. It's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: not really her, but again, she's a weathervane, whatever way
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the wind is blowing. Let's go to Dennis in Howard Beach. Dennis,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: First time in a long time. Well, listen, Mark, I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: starting to become a panicker.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm trying to think if they run a commercial
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: of all the nonsense that the Democrats did, like the
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: protests and charging the White House, the trans people.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do run those.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: But they see more of them.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you're not going to see them. They run them,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: but they still run them here. They run them where
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the races are, where competitive races are. See, you got
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to remember that. If you're living in Ohio, if you're
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: living in Texas, if you're living, you're seeing these commercials
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: all the time. Hey, by the way, Elon Musk. has
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: jumped in with $ 275 million. He is putting that money
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: into these campaigns right now, just for the midterms, $ 275 million. Now,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of course, Republicans, they love it, and Democrats are yelling
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and screaming, this is horrifying, a billionaire pumping money into campaigns,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: even though it's what they did for years with George
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Soros and a dozen other guys like that. But Republicans
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: finally have a billionaire pumping money in, $ 275 million. Right now,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just in these couple of months here for the midterms.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Al in Parsippany. Al, how you doing?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Hello, Mr. Simone.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, Al.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Okay. I heard on another station about your favorite dish. Well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: if they asked me that, I would say Sophia Loren and...
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Gina Lola Brigida.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Well, Gina Lola Brigida is dead. Sophia Loren is like
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: 95 and alive.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't matter because it's just a joke.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Does anybody know what he's talking about?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Does anybody know what he's talking about?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Al, you sound like a nice guy. Not making much sense,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but you sound like a nice guy. So what was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the joke?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: They asked what your favorite dish was? And I said,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: if I responded, I would say Sophia Loren and Gina
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Lola Bridget.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got it. Your favorite dish and then you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: say Gina Lola Bridget. Well, that would be a very
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: funny joke. If this were Ralph Cramden in 1954, first
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of all, there's nobody that knows who.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I know that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Nobody who knows who Gina Lola Bridget is anymore. And nobody,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you, knows who Sophia
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Loren is. And I hate to break it to you,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but nobody knows that term A dish, meaning a hot-looking woman.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That's something Ed Norton would say. Oh, what a dish.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It's a little outdated, don't joke. But see if you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can modernize that. Stick in some modern names. Yeah, Sophia
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Loren is still alive. It looks pretty good for mid-' 90s.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, she doesn't look like she used to look,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: but she doesn't look like the mother in the Golden
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Girls either. So she's doing pretty well. Hey, we got
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a lot coming up. We'll get to the greatest pollster
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in the world in the next hour. He'll give us
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the real numbers. And when we come back, we'll talk
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to the greatest columnist in America today, Michael Goodwin. We'll
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: talk to him next on 710WOR.
