  Speaker 3: It was mentioned a little earlier in the broadcast that
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker lost 80 pounds. What I don't
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: understand with these shots to lose weight is, are you
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: a slave to these shots? What happened to diet and exercise?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And finally, Mark, to wrap it up, didn't Bill Clinton
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: at the beginning of his first term say, visit mcdonald's
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: every day he was quite heavy but he lost the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: weight through just simple.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Exercise uh yeah that's a good question clinton had some
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: very serious uh health problems yeah he was a big
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: mcdonald's french fries and he was it was kind of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a pudgy guy uh even though memory is always jogging
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: his first term yet still pudgy but then uh in
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: later years he had tremendous heart trouble and uh you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: remember he had heart surgery and it didn't go too
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: well they had to like bring him back and The
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: surgeon apparently choked. You know, you think, well, if you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the biggest name in the world, you're going to get
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the finest doctor. Yeah, but you don't realize they can
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: get nervous. The guy choked a little. So they had
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to clean up some scarring in there. Now, he had
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a problem. It's medical stuff where it runs in his family, apparently,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: where the cholesterol just goes totally out of control. So
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that's why in recent years, he eats basically just salads
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and plants and green stuff and that's about it. So
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that helped him lose a lot of weight. Let's go
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to Harry in New Jersey. Harry, how you doing?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Mark. Thanks for taking my call. I agree with
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you about 98% of the time, maybe 99. But one thing,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you keep on wanting New York to come back. They
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: voted for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I don't know what you're
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Well, you always seem to want Which is you want
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: New York to come back.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It didn't leave. It's still here. New York is here.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: No, I know. But they voted for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, Andrew Cuomo, Bill de Blasio, Mondani.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know all this. We know all this. What
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: are you trying to say?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: What?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just trying to say when you want to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: see Manhattan sink into the Hudson River. All right.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Does anybody know what he was talking about?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Richard in Bayshore. Richard, how are you doing?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Listen, I wanted to correct an earlier caller. In lower
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Manhattan around Water Street in the 1830s and 1840s, there
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: was a neighborhood called Corlears Hook, which was a red
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: light district. All the sailors went there for prostitutes. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: it was very dangerous. It was like the Five Points
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: from the Gangs of New York movie.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: But, you know, earlier in the 19th century. So Fighting
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Joe Hooker was a Union general who drank and womanized,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: but that's largely an urban legend. He didn't have... Oh, okay, so.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: They call them hookers not because of General Hooker, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because of this area called The Hook. Yeah, yeah, it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Was based on the geographic shape. It was a Dutchman
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: named Corlier owned it in the 1600s, and it's probably
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: down around South Street Seaport, up to Grand Street.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, all right. Well, all right. That's good. I think
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: your story is probably the correct one. It makes more
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: sense that way. But this came up because you can't
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: get a hooker right now in New York City. The
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: UN General Assembly week is like the Super Bowl for hookers.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's their biggest week. They come in from all over
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the world for this to take care of these UN
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: General Assembly idiots. So there's no hookers left, and they're
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: not available. Sorry, all you guys out there. You're going
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to have to wait until next week. Let's go to–
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what's the name here? Is it Kalman? Kalman, how are
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I'm doing very well. I need about 10 minutes. I'm
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: very frustrated because Trump, unless God intervenes, which he has
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: done before, has no chance.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Slow down. Calm down. What's the matter, Kalman? Calm down.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: What are you upset about?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm upset the way the campaign is going and
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: he has no chance. The president campaigned for Congress in 2016.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Let me just give you a little background. I was
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: advisor to Mario Cuomo.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Know how to live with it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I was advisor to Elliot. Calm down. The current polling.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the public polls.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Forget about the current poll.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. The public polling looks very bad. The
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: real polling, the accurate stuff, the internal polling. Looks pretty good.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look so bad. We had the best pollster
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in the world on yesterday. I'm talking about real polls,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: not the fake public polls. As he said, it's pretty
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: much close in most states, but he's pretty confident. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he explained the public polls aren't real. They're all rigged.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They put Republicans at 23 percent in the sample instead
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of 38 percent like they should be. They don't use
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: likely voters. They use whoever the hell they want. They
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: don't use the right demos. This is all done deliberately.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It's all to suppress Republican vote. It's all to get
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: guys like this all panicky and pessimistic. But in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: real polls, it looks pretty good. Now, whatever the current
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: state is doesn't matter because it's what's going to happen
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in the next month. Republicans have $ 250 million cash to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: spend on this. RNC, $ 250 million. The Democrats have $ 8
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: million to spend on this, so. If you want to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: go to a place like Iowa and change the race,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: all you got to do is send $ 10 million there,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: blitz it with ads. It can change things. Democrats don't
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: have any money. They can't do that kind of stuff. Hey,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll talk to Bill O'Reilly. Lots
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to talk to him about. Coming up, it's Mark Simone here.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Nine to noon every day. Three hours now. Nine to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: noon every day on 710WOR. Facebook.
