  Speaker 1: Now on The Voice of New York, it's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on 710WOR. Hey, it's almost Friday. It's Thursday.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a nice day today, too. We've
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: got a lot to get to. We'll get to President Trump.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Ilhan Omar. It looks like she's got
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: some problems. We'll get to Kimberly Guilfoyle, speaking of problems.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Cornell. We'll get to Iran. We'll get to...
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: The debate, the fallout from the debate, Hochul versus Blakeman.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Mamdani. Do you know that the Plaza
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Hotel is closing? For four years. The Plaza Hotel, 59th
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and 5th, probably the most legendary hotel of all of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: New York. They're closing it for four years for renovations.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I was in there a couple of days ago. It
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: looked fine to me, but... Four years of renovations. Yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: they're closing the whole thing down. Nobody will be able
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to stay there. Part of the hotel is very expensive condos.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happens to those people. It's a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: separate entrance and everything, so maybe it won't affect them.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Although even if they stay, there's going to be massive
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: construction for four years, driving them crazy. But all the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: employees are told they can have their jobs back at
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the same pay in four years. But what the hell
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: are they supposed to do for four years? There's also
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: some stores in there. There's a hair salon. There's some
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: other things in there. I don't know what they're supposed
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to do. But it's happening at the end of the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Christmas season, January. They'll close the plaza for four years.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful. Even if you're not in there, just walking
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: along that part, 59th and 5th, the Grand Army Plaza,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Central Park. You see the plaza there. It's beautiful. Now
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's going to be all covered up and scaffolding for
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: four years. The carriages are also leaving Central Park, the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: horse-drawn carriages. Mom Donnie, he's behind this too.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Over the course of this entire conversation, I have always
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: spoken about the importance of taking care of the workers
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in this industry because they have earned their livelihoods from
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: this work. They should not be ones that are simply
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: left as an afterthought of what comes after this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I will take care of the workers. Meantime, your medallion
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is no good anymore. Your business is canceled. It's now
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: illegal in New York. It's not going to go into
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: effect for about a year. It'll give them time to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: transition to something else.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Here we are on October 14th of 2026, and we're
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: talking about legislation that will come into full effect in 2028.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It is the kind of runway that's required to ensure
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that we can fulfill all of these different obligations.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You see, that's the key to being a Mayor Mumdani.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Just sound like you're very intelligent. You said the key
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to the runway to the... It sounds like he knows
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about, but of course he doesn't.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: We have to both protect the workers... protect the workforce
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that has found their livelihood from this job. And then
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the horses, I don't think the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: vision is that the horses would then continue to perform
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: this kind of work elsewhere. There have been a lot
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of different proposals that have been forward, whether it's sanctuary, um,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: whether it's then being taken in by farms, things of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that nature, that's everything we're going to be investigating.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: He is, uh, you can be sure this guy will
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not rest. He will be investigating that day and night. Uh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: believe me, he forgot about it as soon as he
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: left the room. Now, uh, It sounds like he's a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: very caring, concerned mayor. However, he is with the city council.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: They're voting to eliminate your livelihood, make what you do illegal,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and that's it. Goodbye. Now, again, it's a year and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a half you got to figure something else out, but okay.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: We are having a broad conversation about what that can
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: look like so that none of these workers and owners
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: are the ones that are made to pay for the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: sunsetting of an industry.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You see, that's how you sound very smart. We're not
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: having a conversation. We're having a broad conversation, a broad conversation.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: What the hell is a broad conversation? And, uh, we'll
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: give you a couple of months. You don't say that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You say, we'll be sunsetting this. You use all these
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: government terms and it sounds like you are really, really, uh,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: on top of everything. Uh, president Trump back at the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: white house and having a luncheon today, a Rose garden luncheon. Now, uh,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: He's got a full workday. You know, just think about this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: What's today, Thursday? Just this week. It's only Thursday. Actually
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: got back last night. So from Sunday to Wednesday, he
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was in Alaska. He was in Nevada. He was in Arizona.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He was in Montana. That's two and a half days.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: That's a big, big travel schedule. So latest on the midterm,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: still the same. It looks like Republicans, very good chance
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of taking the Senate. Republicans look very good for taking
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the Senate. The House, it's too close to call. Now,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: don't fall for all this fake news. If you watch
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the fake news, they'll keep telling you it's hopeless for
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the Republicans. If you read in the New York Times yesterday,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: there's like nine major stories about the Republicans are giving up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It's hopeless. The Republicans are pulling out of these states.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: If you watch MS Now or CNN, they keep quoting
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the Cook political report. The widely regarded, highly checked Cook
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Political Report. They keep telling me about this Cook Political Report.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Nobody reads this except these swamp idiots, except the fake
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: news crowd. They love this Cook Political Report. Started by
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Charlie Cook. Even he has nothing to do with it anymore.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Even he left. He sold the thing. It's run now
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: by Amy Walter, who is the most left-wing biased person
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in the world. Former PBS anchor. Do you need to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: know more? Amy Walter, the highly regarded Cook Report. Highly
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: regarded by who? Check the record of the Cook Report.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, you can use the Cook Report as a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: reverse barometer of what's going to happen. They keep quoting it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: The Cook Report has now taken 18 races. They've moved
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it to the Democratic column. Well, they did the same
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: thing with Hillary Clinton in 2016. In fact, the highly
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: regarded Cook Political Report had Hillary Clinton winning in a landslide,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: an electoral landslide in 2016. Of course, it was totally,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: completely wrong. So don't take any of this. This is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all a PSYOP operation. This is to discourage any Republicans
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: from even thinking of going to the polls. That's why
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they rig those polls, the public polls. They want to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: convince you that there's no hope. There's no reason to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: even go vote. There's absolutely no hope. But the way
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it stands now, Senate, very likely Republicans hold the Senate. House,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: too close to call. It's going to depend on turnout.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: If Republicans turn out, they'll win. If Democrats turn out,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they'll win. Right now, that's the way it stands. Bruce Blakeman,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: looks like he's picking up points from the debate. Looks
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: like the momentum will shift now towards Blakeman. He was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: very good in the debate. It was on New York One.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Nobody sees that. But the clips are going all over
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the place. And Blakeman was very strong out yesterday. Speaking
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: about Cornell.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul has already preached judge this case. But what
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I have to say to you, Kathy, is as follows.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Where were you? What did you do? You are the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: trustee of Cornell University. You are the governor of the state.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: You fund Cornell University to the tune of $ 150 million
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: a year. They're a partner of the state of New York.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: And as a trustee and as governor, you didn't call
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: for an independent investigation when you found out that the
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: district attorney was dropping the case.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Shame on you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's from the debate. Actually, it turns out,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knew that she was on the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: board at Cornell. This whole horrible incident was two years ago.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So if somebody dropped the ball, the ball got dropped
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: two years ago, and she was on the board at
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the time and should have known about it. And half
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of Cornell is a state university, part of the state
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: university system. So she really should have been on top
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of that. Elon Omar's got big, big problems. You know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: they raided her house. They've gotten all these documents. They're
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: looking at immigration fraud. They found... Well, it looks like
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: she lied about her net worth on those financial disclosure
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: forms that you have to file in Congress. One of them,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: she's worth $ 30 million. Next thing you know, she's worth $ 300, 000.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Makes absolutely no sense. But the one that looks pretty
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: serious for her right now, it looks like at one
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: point she lied about her age. She made her age
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lower by one year. Now, a lot of people lie
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: about their age.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: This was for a the purpose of defrauding the immigration
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: people at the time when her father came over here
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: without getting too into the weeds. If the father gets
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: over here and gets a citizenship or a visa or green, whatever, if,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: if he comes over here and he's got a minor child,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the minor child would get citizenship. So she made her
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: age all of a sudden one year lower than, So
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it looked like she was 17. She was actually 18
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and not a minor under that system. So she made
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: her age a year lower to appear to be a minor. Now,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: if this is all true, and it looks like it is,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: if this is all true, she can be deported. Her
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: citizenship is no longer valid. And if you lie in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: any way on these immigration forms, you can be deported.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And obviously, if you're no longer a citizen, you can't
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: be serving in Congress. So It's under investigation now, Department
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of Justice, U.S. Attorney's Office. Let's see what happens. This
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is the word right now, but let's see if it
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: actually gets done in a courtroom. You could see her
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: deported at some point. Now, what's going to happen in Iran? Well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it's been very quiet. People are yelling to stop the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Iran war. How would you stop it? There's nothing going on.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Nobody's fired a shot in about six weeks. It's been
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a month and a half. There's nothing to stop. But
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the hint has always been that once the midterms are over,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that President Trump will finish the job, will go after Iran.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: There'll be a massive attack, taking out anything and everything
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of their leadership. And now we're hearing that what they
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: would do once the midterms are over is use the Moab,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that is the mother of all bombs, that is the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: biggest weapon we have. It's the single biggest non-nuclear weapon
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: bomb that we have. It's a massive bomb. We haven't
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: used them so far. Last time we used, we did
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: use one in 2017 against ISIS in Afghanistan. It is
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a massive bomb. So the president apparently has asked the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: military to draw up the targets for the Moab bomb
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the day after the midterms, if they want to finally
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: finish this off in Iran. It will be a Moab war.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It's an incredible weapon. And we got plenty of them.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: We got plenty of weapons. Don't listen to all this.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: We're out of missiles. We're fine. Now, why is this
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: leaking out? Well, they want Iran to get wind of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: this because maybe they'll negotiate more. Kimberly Guilfoyle is out.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: You know, the ambassador in Greece lives in a beautiful
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: mansion in the nicest part of Athens. Magnificent. magnificent mansion.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: She's got to leave there. She's got a few days
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to pack up and get out. Word is she'll head
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to Florida. That's where she was living before. She wants
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to go back to Florida. Also, the word is she's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: now searching for a very wealthy husband. So if you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: are a very rich guy, we've got many of them
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: listening to us, she's on the market. If you've always
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: been a Kimberly Guilfile fan, Get busy if I were you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: She's looking for somebody right now. As far as working,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if she could go
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: back to– she was on Fox for years. I don't
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: think she can go back there. She may be calling
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Newsmax as we speak or something like that. Book deal
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is possible. Although with all these allegations against her. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the other thing is they asked for her resignation from
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. Because of all the things you heard
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: about taking jet rides from this guy, money from that guy,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: asking this guy for money, offering influence to this guy.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: From what I'm hearing, there were more allegations coming, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they did not want to have her there for the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: rest of these allegations. There's more coming. The rumor is.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: The rumor is. Mamdani. Hey, tonight is the Al Smith dinner.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And it's one of those off years. In the presidential year,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the presidential candidates come, and it's a huge, major news.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It's an off year, so it's not as big a deal.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: But it'll be interesting to see if Mamdani comes to that. Now,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it's a real establishment dinner. It's always the governor and everybody,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: all the top business guys, all the top political leaders.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if Mamdani comes to this.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is the honoree this year is
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch. So, I don't know what Mamdani's doing with
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch right now. He's not going to get rid
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of her, but the DSA, the crazy nutjob democratic socialists,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: are demanding she be fired. Mamdani is sticking by her.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: They're demanding she be fired. I don't know, because of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: something with ICE. The real reason is because she's Jewish.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: She's pro-Israel. That's why they want her out. But will
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Mamdani show up? She's being honored this dinner tonight. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: don't know. He's got to walk a tightrope now between
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: these crazy left wingers and normal people. Mamdani so far
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: has been good with the NYPD.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I have directed a full review of the 24 hour
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: period that starts with the horrific ice shooting that extends
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to the police department's response to that incident. As well
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: as to the ensuing protests.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Now, stop for a minute here. Horrific shooting, any shooting
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is horrific. If you have to shoot somebody, it's horrific.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But the guy got in his car. They told him
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to stop. He jumped in the car. And then they
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: tried to box him in with their cars. That didn't work.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And then he tried to run into the offices, try
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to run them down with his car. That's how he
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: got shot. Blaming the NYPD. Well, you can't blame them
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: because under your orders, under Hochul's orders, they weren't allowed
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to help ICE. Had they helped ICE, they could have
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: stopped the guy and handed him over peacefully. But you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and Hochul won't allow that.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It also extends to ICE's use of privately owned parking
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: lots as staging locations. And then to a broader review
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of what more the city can do to protect immigrant
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this thing about privately owned parking lots, apparently... they
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: waited in a Costco parking lot. See, the problem is
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: if you cooperate with ICE, like Blakeman did in Long Island,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he had his local police cooperate with ICE. So if
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: they're going to come in to arrest an illegal that
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: they know about, local police will go with them and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: help them. And that way, the two ICE officers will
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: come to take the prisoner. Now, if the local police
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: won't be there to assist, no local police, They can't
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: just send two ICE officers. They've got to send 20
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: because they've got to protect themselves. There's no local police
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to protect them. So it becomes a much bigger operation
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: because of Hochul, because of Mamdani. And obviously you've got
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to wait somewhere. And they probably had six or seven vehicles.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So they picked a, you know, Costco has a big
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: parking lot. So that's what they were waiting in the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: parking lot. Now Mamdani, I don't know, he's going to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: try to have some kind of law. They can't wait
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: in any parking lot anywhere. doesn't make any sense just
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: do what Blakeman did cooperate with ICE they are going
• 16:25
