  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. So,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, you know, this crazy pied-a-terre tax, crazy Mamdani, too.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It sounds good to their base that we'll go after
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: these wealthy people, these rich. You see, these politicians can
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: never admit The problem is overspending. The budget is double
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: what it should be. Double what it should be. You
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: could cut the budget in half. And a lot of
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: this is fraud, waste, bloat, overpaying by 10,000% for everything.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's just endless waste. So when there's a shortfall, they
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: act like it's those rich people's fault. This is the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: idea of democratic socialism. It's rich people telling poor people
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that the reason you're poor is these other rich people
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: did it to you. So And then they can just
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: keep increasing the tax on the wealthy. But it gets
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to the point where the rate is just ridiculously high.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: So they come up with these crazy ideas. Remember years
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: ago they tried this, we're going to tax all the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: private jet owners. We'll tax every private jet owner in
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that way. Well, that's 75 people. It's not that many people.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: If you taxed them all 100%, it would run the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: government for three and a half seconds. That's about it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It doesn't do anything. It's the same thing with this
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Pierre de Terre tax. This Pierre de Terre tax, it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: just a handful of people. It doesn't do anything.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Courts.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Is that my phone? No, it's my watch talking to me. Sorry.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Stupid Apple Watch. Where was I? It's the most convoluted scheme,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: this Pierre de Terre tax. Even left-wing judges are stopping it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: You've got a Staten Island judge blocking it. They can't
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: figure out who should be on the list, who shouldn't
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: be on the list. They put out a list of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: like 90,000 names. Turns out 75,000 of them were the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: wrong names. And listen to Hochul try to explain it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: She can't even explain this thing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: So the larger number that was in the news was
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: a different dynamic, I'll say. So what they're talking about
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: is getting down to what we actually projected. So we
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: don't see that there'll be a loss in revenue from
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: what we expect to bring in. because we've always been
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: estimating at 10,000. So them scaling it back will not
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: have the effect that people are concerned about.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: What a bunch of double talk. First of all, whatever
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it was going to bring in is nothing. Listen to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: this sentence.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: So the larger number that was in the news was
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: a different dynamic, I'll say.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It's a number. How could it have a dynamic? The
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: larger number was a different dynamic. What the hell is
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: he talking about? The larger number was false. It was wrong.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It was totally wrong, completely wrong. Let's take some calls.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how are
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you doing? Hi.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Look at me at the 9 o'clock hour. I'm so excited.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, that's like lunchtime in North Carolina, right?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: No, but listen, the 6-year-old is back in school, so
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: I can make calls now.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: No, but 9 o'clock in North Carolina, usually down at
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the fishing hole with Opie, right?
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Well, no, you know, that's, we're very, we're very, very modern.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I know.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: All the modern, all us New Yorkers are moving here. Anyway,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I'm going to, you were going down memory lane yesterday,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: so I'm going to keep it light today. And I
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: had a question for you. I always wanted to ask.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: About Sue Simmons and Phil Collins.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Take it away.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Sue Simmons, the great, I don't know, that's a great,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: pretty good anchor woman on Channel 4. And Phil Collins?
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: What?
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, I might have gotten mixed up with another
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: anchor that's legendary, but somebody had an affair with Phil
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Collins and was crushed that it didn't work. Come on,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: you know everything.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Well, the Phil Collins part could be true, but... Sue Simmons?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think he's got better eyesight than that, don't you?
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: No, okay, maybe.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Now you're going to have to Google it because I
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: didn't want to do that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Now I'm, like, creating this big possible false story.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: A lot of these anchors that you see on those shows,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: they're pretty good-looking people. They have a lot of affairs,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: those people. I don't want to mention names.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: But, I mean, whoever it was was huge, and I
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: thought it was– it was somebody that you'd never think
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: would be with Phil Collins. And he's still local, right?
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: And he's not doing well, by the way. But she was, like, so– like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: literally kind of lost a couple of nights on the air,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: whoever it was.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Well, remember, she had a little– she loved to drink.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Remember that incident where she was– cursing and didn't know
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the microphone was open.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: But now I want you to dig into the story
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: and let me know. I'll be listening.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It's not exactly the Kennedy assassination. I mean, the investigation
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: on this.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I told you I was keeping it light today.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: All right. I'll ask around, see what I can find out.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to ask you about the Lindsay Clancy
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: case because that will just really ramp it up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I can't get involved in that. I don't know why.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like there's going to be a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: hung jury or a mistrial there.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's good.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if it's good. She murdered her kids, but.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I know, but she admitted it, and she had
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: a psychosis. So I'm not going to get into that,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: but I'm just so thrilled to hear you at a
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: 9 o'clock hour.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, she admitted it? It's okay to kill your kids
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: if you admit it? That's okay?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: No, she had a psychosis. It's a medical thing, trust me.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. It's true.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: But anyway.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: All right, Kathy. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Dave
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in New City. Dave, how you doing?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Good. How you doing, Mark? Good. You know, I was thinking...
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Now that you have a three-hour show, maybe you should
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: bring in Vincent from Brooklyn to be your co-host. What
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: do you think?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I think I'm doing fine. Vincent's a great caller. He's
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: not a professional host.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he would be a good addition to
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: your show.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I hate to break it to you. That's why
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: nobody's hired you to be a program director. Nobody pays
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you to be a radio consultant.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: What do you do for a living?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I own a pickleball facility. Really? Yeah, you want to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: come play?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, so how long have you had it?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Five months.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, so you just started. Have you seen any
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: decrease in pickleball interest?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: No, only increase by millions. Wow.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: All right. It's taken off. What is the hardest thing
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of running a pickleball place? What's the most expensive stuff,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: like maintaining stuff and.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: No, no, the hardest thing is dealing with the customers.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah, but it's a new city. You got
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: nice people there. It's Rockland County, all very nice people.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: You're right. Yeah, go open one in Boca Raton. You
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: want to see some complaining? Open in Boca Raton. No thanks. Yeah,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: open in Boca Raton and keep them waiting half a second.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: One second so long, you'll see nothing but arguing. Let's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil, how you doing?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Um, Although there was no legislation, do you think that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the publicity about voter ID and mail-in voting will help
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: tamp down fraud, just the fact that it's in the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: news all the time?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's good. It'll eventually stop it once you
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: expose it all. But the problem is you're not going
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to get this by the midterms. It's a little too late.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Even if you get that Save America Act, it really
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: won't go into effect in time to do much in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the midterms. But this voter fraud is very, very real.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You remember the fake news would say there's no voter fraud.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And then they would confess. Even George Stephanopoulos and others
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: would confess. Well, it's very small. It's 1%. It's not
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: enough to make it. But it's getting exposed more and more.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Illegals are voting like crazy. Turns out New Jersey had
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to confess. The governor had to confess. She found 6,000
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: illegals voting, which means 60,000. And you got these driving schools.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Scott Besant and Sean Duffy and others talking about this yesterday. Duffy,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Department of Transportation, they've gone after 270 driving schools. It
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: turns out they were given licenses to illegals. Not only licenses,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: but there were 100 of them that they've already targeted
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: now as the worst. They were given commercial driver's licenses,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: which means these illegals who don't speak English can't read
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the road signs. are driving big 18-wheeler trucks. You know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: people have been killed by these illegals because they couldn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: read the sign, they didn't know what a stop sign was,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and people have died in these accidents. So they're targeting
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: those schools, and good for them. One more. Let's go
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to Sammy in Howard Beach. Sammy, how are you doing?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Mark. Good morning. Listen, I used to
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: work at CBS, and it was Dana Tyler who had the.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I would say, lap. Dana Tyler. Okay, that makes a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: lot more sense. Very good-looking, that Dana Tyler. Very nice person, too.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Great lady.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You think she developed a friendship with Phil Collins?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Unfortunately, it didn't really work out well for her.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: You know, she just, you know, became lost. Anyway, thanks
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: a lot for putting it up.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for clearing it up. You know, is
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: she going to date a big rock and roll star?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: a crazy musician who's on the road all the time
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: with a billion groupies, it's not going to work out.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to have some fun and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you like it, great, but it's not going to, it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: not a long-term relationship developing. Let's go to Sal in
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Long Island. Sal, how you doing?
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Hi, good morning, Mark.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Mark, I just wanted to mention that we talked about
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: this outdoor dining and how things are going to be
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: dropped and get rats up. That's yeah but the one
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: thing we didn't touch on what about the waiters and
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: the waitresses that got to go from a warm inside
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: place they got to walk out onto the sidewalk into
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: another warm place back and forth carrying plates that's a pain.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: In the neck that's the other problem you're right sitting
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: outside you don't get it so there's not a waiter
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: around all the time right where are you in long

  Speaker 2: You've got The Cove, that restaurant right on the water. Yes.
