0:01
Speaker 1: This is The Mark Simone.
0:05
Speaker 2: Show on 710WOR.
0:09
Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's Friday. That's the good news. It's Friday.
0:12
Speaker 3: The bad news, it's going to be a rainy, messy weekend.
0:14
Speaker 3: But we've got a lot to get to today. We'll
0:17
Speaker 3: get to President Xi of China, his visit to the
0:19
Speaker 3: White House. A lot happened there. We'll get to the U.N.
0:23
Speaker 3: This should be the final day of total gridlock U.N.
0:26
Speaker 4: Week.
0:26
Speaker 3: They're all starting to leave over the weekend. We'll get
0:29
Speaker 3: to Netanyahu's speech yesterday. We have all these TV channels
0:35
Speaker 3: on here. We've got all these different TV screens. Now,
0:38
Speaker 3: the left wing, the left wing, ooh, they hated that
0:40
Speaker 3: Netanyahu speech. Look at this. New York One, that little,
0:43
Speaker 3: little tiny New York One is the most biased left-wing network.
0:49
Speaker 3: Look at the headline they put on the button. Netanyahu
0:51
Speaker 3: fuels tensions and creates backlash. And it was actually quite
0:57
Speaker 3: a heroic speech from Netanyahu New York One making him
1:00
Speaker 3: look like some sort of villain. And then they immediately
1:03
Speaker 3: cut to Mamdani saying that Netanyahu's lying speech, blatant lies,
1:10
Speaker 3: and he tried to whitewash the genocide that Israel has committed.
1:15
Speaker 3: You can get a lot of that crap from the real, real,
1:17
Speaker 3: real left-wing television. It was quite a speech. It was
1:22
Speaker 3: a powerful speech as Netanyahu got up to speak. Half
1:26
Speaker 3: the UN General Assembly walked out. They got up and
1:29
Speaker 3: walked out. Many different nations, their delegates walked out. Before
1:34
Speaker 3: Netanyahu even spoke, as soon as he got to the podium,
1:38
Speaker 3: they walked out. It's a very anti-Semitic place, that UN.
1:42
Speaker 3: Very anti-Semitic. Always has been since its creation. And as
1:46
Speaker 3: Netanyahu gets up, he must have expected some walkouts, but
1:50
Speaker 3: it was half the room. And Netanyahu said, Mr.
1:53
Speaker 5: President.
1:56
Speaker 6: Before I begin, just a quick announcement. If there are
2:02
Speaker 6: any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall,
2:06
Speaker 6: please do so now.
2:08
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.
2:12
Speaker 3: Perfect. Absolutely perfect. And it was quite a speech. Very powerful.
2:18
Speaker 3: And we'll play a lot of it throughout the show
2:20
Speaker 3: this morning. And he stood up for Israel and said,
2:24
Speaker 3: You know, the problem is for the anti-Semitic haters, nothing's
2:28
Speaker 3: going to persuade them on anything. But he did point
2:31
Speaker 3: out that the genocide was against Israel. The worst Holocaust
2:37
Speaker 3: since the Hitler-not-Holocaust took place on October 7th. Israel's response
2:43
Speaker 3: was as careful and as cautious as could be.
2:46
Speaker 6: To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left
2:52
Speaker 6: us all, I asked, where were you when the Iranian
2:58
Speaker 6: tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians?
3:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, he made a lot of great points. In Iran,
3:09
Speaker 3: over the last six months, they have slaughtered in the
3:12
Speaker 3: street 40,000 of their citizens just for protesting or whatever
3:17
Speaker 3: reason opposing the government, just slaughtered them. And there were
3:20
Speaker 3: some protesters, they just opened fire on them and shot
3:23
Speaker 3: them all. Some survived and ended up in the hospital. Now,
3:26
Speaker 3: this is an absolute fact. Iran's special Republican guard, whatever
3:31
Speaker 3: the hell they call it, actually went into the hospitals
3:34
Speaker 3: and shot those protesters in their hospital bed just to
3:37
Speaker 3: make sure they were dead. And again, the Susan Sarandans,
3:41
Speaker 3: the Mamdani's, where were they on this? Netanyahu has a
3:43
Speaker 3: good point. Where were they on that? They still haven't
3:48
Speaker 3: condemned it. But the yelling and screaming about Israel, which is,
3:53
Speaker 3: of course, insane. But it's just fueled on total hatred.
3:57
Speaker 3: He did go after Mamdani.
3:59
Speaker 8: Mr.
3:59
Speaker 6: Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many
4:05
Speaker 6: Jews no longer feel safe in New York.
4:08
Speaker 3: They talk to me. They tell me. This isn't the
4:12
Speaker 3: city we remember. It changed so quickly. Now, it's no wonder.
4:17
Speaker 6: You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas. You count as
4:22
Speaker 6: friends people like Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9-11.
4:28
Speaker 3: America deserved 9-11. Some friends you have. Yeah, now did
4:33
Speaker 3: you ever think you'd live to see a New York
4:35
Speaker 3: City could have a mayor that was openly bigoted, openly racist,
4:39
Speaker 3: openly anti-Semitic? Did you ever think you'd live to see that?
4:42
Speaker 3: Where you would brag about his anti-Semitism? A mayor who
4:45
Speaker 3: would actually engage in actual hate speech. Netanyahu even got
4:49
Speaker 3: to his wife.
4:50
Speaker 6: Your wife liked a post praising the October 7th massacre.
4:54
Speaker 6: She liked another post saying Tel Aviv shouldn't exist. You
4:59
Speaker 6: refuse to condemn any of that.
5:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a strange world. You've got an actually bigoted,
5:07
Speaker 3: biased mayor engaging in hate speech. His wife, crazier, well,
5:13
Speaker 3: as crazy as he is, so. We'll play more of
5:15
Speaker 3: Netanyahu's speech. It was quite a day. The protesting was
5:19
Speaker 3: out of control. Netanyahu, he's gone now. He was staying
5:22
Speaker 3: at the Regency Hotel, 61st and Park, all of Park
5:25
Speaker 3: Avenue for a couple of blocks, filled with crazy lunatic protesters.
5:30
Speaker 3: As he came to the UN, the protesters went there.
5:33
Speaker 3: Many of them were arrested. Susan Sarandon among them. Why,
5:38
Speaker 3: if this were a few weeks ago, her career was
5:40
Speaker 3: so bad, people would say, Ah, Susan Sarandon, she can't
5:43
Speaker 3: even get arrested. Well, it turns out she can. Also,
5:46
Speaker 3: some of those DSA congressional candidates, what's his name? Dariala
5:51
Speaker 3: Ziza Avaliva-Chevalier, also detained by NYPD. They were arrested for
5:57
Speaker 3: blocking a roadway. Linda Sarsour showed up wearing a red hijab,
6:03
Speaker 3: leading demonstrators. She had all the left-wing crazies out there. Anyway,
6:07
Speaker 3: we'll get back to that. The other thing that happened yesterday,
6:10
Speaker 3: of course, was the meeting with China's President Xi Jinping.
6:15
Speaker 3: It was all day. The President spent the entire day
6:18
Speaker 3: with him. From morning to night, they had a big
6:22
Speaker 3: state dinner last night. I'm looking at the guest list.
6:24
Speaker 3: It was all the big tech leaders. It was a
6:29
Speaker 3: lot of big CEOs, hedge fund guys. There was Steve Schwartzman.
6:34
Speaker 3: There was Larry Fink. There were a lot of these
6:36
Speaker 3: guys there. All the big tech leaders, even the older ones,
6:40
Speaker 3: Michael Dell, Tim Cook, all the current tech leaders, the
6:44
Speaker 3: AI guys, the media. Let's see who's on the guest list.
6:47
Speaker 3: Jesse Waters, Laura Ingram, Brett Baer. The menu. Oh, all
6:53
Speaker 3: your favorites. All your favorites. First course, yellow squash velouté
7:00
Speaker 3: with a wild mushroom fricassee. Sounds great, doesn't it? I
7:05
Speaker 3: don't know what the hell it is. Sounds terrible. Who
7:07
Speaker 3: the hell wants to eat that? Oh, it's complimented by
7:10
Speaker 3: crispy pancetta and topped with a drizzle of scallion oil.
7:15
Speaker 3: I'm sure under the table, the president had a Big
7:18
Speaker 3: Mac and some filet of fish and some French fries
7:22
Speaker 3: hidden under the table. It was followed by crusted sea
7:25
Speaker 3: bass with braised baby bok choy and roasted eggplant. I
7:33
Speaker 3: guarantee you, Donald Trump now almost 80. He's been in
7:37
Speaker 3: a billion restaurants, never once, ever said to the waiter,
7:42
Speaker 3: I'll have the sesame-crusted sea bass. Oh, and bring me
7:45
Speaker 3: some braised baby bok choy. He's never said that in
7:49
Speaker 3: his life. For dessert, okay, so this sounds like the
7:54
Speaker 3: good part. Still don't know what the hell it is.
7:56
Speaker 3: Vanilla creme you with a sour cherry confit atop a
8:01
Speaker 3: walnut frangipane. What the hell is that? And served with
8:09
Speaker 3: White House honey ice cream. Okay, there's one thing you
8:11
Speaker 3: could eat there. It sounds horrible. Elon Musk was also
8:16
Speaker 3: there sitting right at the table with Xi Jinping. Now,
8:20
Speaker 3: you got to spend the whole day with this guy.
8:22
Speaker 3: He had to go with him to the Smithsonian. They
8:25
Speaker 3: had one meeting after another. Who the hell, what the
8:27
Speaker 3: hell would you talk to this guy about all day? Now,
8:29
Speaker 3: they did have talks, serious talks for an hour here,
8:33
Speaker 3: hour there, bilateral meetings. And usually you try to, if
8:37
Speaker 3: you're a president, the formula is your staff and their staff,
8:41
Speaker 3: you arrange some sort of what they call deliverables. So
8:45
Speaker 3: at the end of the talks, you can come out
8:46
Speaker 3: and announce, we've got this accomplished. This is what we got.
8:49
Speaker 3: It's called a deliverable. And you're supposed to announce a
8:52
Speaker 3: few of those later. President Trump, of course, doesn't play
8:55
Speaker 3: by the rules. Not your typical president. Apparently wasn't worried
8:58
Speaker 3: about that. So they didn't arrange any of that kind
9:00
Speaker 3: of stuff. And usually they're meaningless anyways. You know, usually
9:04
Speaker 3: when they come out, it was Bush or Obama or Clinton.
9:07
Speaker 3: They make the big announcement. Well, we've accomplished. They've agreed
9:11
Speaker 3: to buy our soybeans. And that's supposed to be the deliverable,
9:15
Speaker 3: the big, big accomplishment. And if you're not a soybean farmer,
9:19
Speaker 3: who cares that they're buying our soybeans? Or they announce
9:21
Speaker 3: we're going to get two pandas from them, something like this.
9:25
Speaker 3: But it went well. Now, the president toured Xi Jinping
9:30
Speaker 3: around the White House, showing him everything. And then they
9:34
Speaker 3: had these ceremonies. They had one where they looked out
9:37
Speaker 3: over the Rose Garden and out in the Rose Garden
9:39
Speaker 3: were a million, dozens of these, like in the Revolutionary
9:43
Speaker 3: War uniforms, these minute men playing the fife and drums, marching.
9:47
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell this is. This is
9:49
Speaker 3: Xi Jinping. He doesn't know what the hell this is
9:51
Speaker 3: or what he's looking at. But you got to do
9:53
Speaker 3: something with this guy all day. Then President Trump toured
9:58
Speaker 3: him around the White House, even took him to the ballpark.
10:00
Speaker 3: construction site to show him the ballroom he was building.
10:03
Speaker 3: He's getting a lot of flack for that online. Everybody
10:05
Speaker 3: making fun of him. Why is he taking him into
10:07
Speaker 3: a construction zone? Well, this is what he does. He's
10:12
Speaker 3: a builder. He's very proud of it. Hey, you know
10:13
Speaker 3: when you go to anybody's house, especially they got a
10:16
Speaker 3: new house or they're living in an incredible house. You
10:19
Speaker 3: go to their house. What's the first thing they do?
10:21
Speaker 3: Come on, I'll give you a tour of the house.
10:23
Speaker 3: Then they lead you around from room to room and
10:26
Speaker 3: you have to pretend you're interested in this. And this
10:28
Speaker 3: is the living room. And then here's the wine. So
10:31
Speaker 3: they show you all this stuff and you got to
10:33
Speaker 3: pretend you like this. You have to ooh and ah.
10:35
Speaker 6: Ooh, oh, ooh.
10:37
Speaker 3: Then they tell you where this chair is from, where
10:39
Speaker 3: they got this couch from, how they look at the
10:43
Speaker 3: molding here. They show you all this crap and you
10:44
Speaker 3: got to pretend you're interested. So even presidents do that.
10:48
Speaker 3: He even showed him the helipad. And then he got
10:54
Speaker 3: a lot of flack for that. And it is probably
10:57
Speaker 3: the nicest helipad ever built. It's a very special granite.
11:00
Speaker 3: And he said, Xi Jinping loves granite. That's why he
11:04
Speaker 3: showed it to me. He loves granite. I don't know
11:09
Speaker 3: about that. Do we believe that? Are we buying that?
11:12
Speaker 3: I never met anybody that said, I love granite. You know,
11:18
Speaker 3: when people talk about, oh, I love pickleball. I'm a
11:20
Speaker 3: big football. I love golf. I've never heard me say,
11:22
Speaker 3: you know what I love? I love granite. I don't
11:24
Speaker 3: know anybody that would ever say that. So, oh, the
11:27
Speaker 3: one thing that got a lot of flack, you know,
11:30
Speaker 3: when you come down that promenade, that walkway, the president
11:35
Speaker 3: has portraits in gold frames of every president. So he's
11:40
Speaker 3: leading Xi along, showing him every portrait. And then when
11:43
Speaker 3: they get to the Biden one, Xi looks confused. It
11:46
Speaker 3: It's not Biden. It's some mechanical. And Trump goes, this
11:49
Speaker 3: is the auto pen. Remember him with the auto pen? Well,
11:55
Speaker 3: every left-wing kook site went absolutely nuts. Mediaite, real left-wing site,
12:02
Speaker 3: big headline, utterly disgusting. Trump mocks Biden in front of
12:07
Speaker 3: China's Xi, sparking furious online backlash. Well, if you go online,
12:13
Speaker 3: you can see video of this moment. Go watch the video.
12:17
Speaker 3: I've watched it. I've slowed it down. I've watched it
12:19
Speaker 3: carefully 20 times. When he shows it to she and
12:24
Speaker 3: tells him what it is, you can see she burst
12:28
Speaker 3: out laughing. Not only can you see him laughing, but
12:31
Speaker 3: his head snaps back. He throws his head back with laughter.
12:34
Speaker 3: He really got a kick out of it. So you
12:37
Speaker 3: can't say it's disgusting if it got that big a
12:40
Speaker 3: laugh out of she. You know, sometimes you're up there telling...
12:45
Speaker 3: doing your little jokes. It happens to me all the time.
12:49
Speaker 3: In front of a big audience in the big ballroom
12:51
Speaker 3: and you make a few jokes in one of them,
12:53
Speaker 3: somebody could say, oh, you went a little too far.
12:57
Speaker 3: The audience is the judge. If the audience all roared
13:00
Speaker 3: with laughter, if the joke landed well, the audience loved it,
13:03
Speaker 3: that's all that matters. So you can try to pick
13:06
Speaker 3: on Trump for this, but watch the video. She laughed
13:09
Speaker 3: so hard his head goes back. He loved the joke.
13:12
Speaker 3: So it landed. She loved it. You can't say it
13:16
Speaker 3: wasn't right. Now, here's the problem. President Trump, that's yesterday,
13:21
Speaker 3: all day, big state dinner. Today, I'm looking at the schedule.
13:26
Speaker 3: It's Xi again, President Xi all day. First, they have
13:29
Speaker 3: a morning tea at 10 o'clock. Then they visit the
13:33
Speaker 3: National Archives. Then they have another meeting. Who the hell
13:36
Speaker 3: wants to spend two days with this guy? You've seen
13:39
Speaker 3: this President Xi. What would you talk to? You sit
13:43
Speaker 3: in a room with him. You have to have tea
13:44
Speaker 3: with the guy for an hour. What do you say
13:46
Speaker 3: to the guy? Hey, how about those Yankees? Terrible about
13:49
Speaker 3: that Aaron Judge. What do you talk to this guy about?
13:52
Speaker 3: Melania looked beautiful. She's spending time with Mrs. Xi, Madam Ping.
13:59
Speaker 3: And then they leave later today. Looks like I'm looking
14:03
Speaker 3: at the schedule. Looks like the president does not leave Washington.
14:06
Speaker 3: He's going to go to Kentucky or Tennessee. on Saturday,
14:10
Speaker 3: but he's not coming to Bedminster. Mar-a-Lago is closed until
14:14
Speaker 3: usually about Halloween. So he'll be in Washington and probably
14:18
Speaker 3: go to his, he has a Trump golf course just
14:21
Speaker 3: outside of DC in the suburbs. So when he stays,
14:24
Speaker 3: he goes there and plays golf. So this UN week
14:29
Speaker 3: stuff has been a disaster. I don't know what the
14:31
Speaker 3: hell was going on last night. You could hear sirens everywhere.
14:35
Speaker 3: It depends. Your motorcade size depends on how big a
14:38
Speaker 3: world leader you are. If you're the president of some
14:42
Speaker 3: dinky country, your motorcade is your SUV. And maybe you
14:46
Speaker 3: got a car in front of you and behind you.
14:47
Speaker 3: It's a three-car motorcade. If you're Macron of France, you're
14:52
Speaker 3: going to get like eight cars. If you're a high-risk
14:56
Speaker 3: security like Netanyahu, that was a lot of cars. It
14:58
Speaker 3: was cars and ambulance. One of those cars with the
15:01
Speaker 3: guys fully armed with the Uzis and the the big
15:05
Speaker 3: guns and the stinger missile on the roof kind of thing.
15:07
Speaker 3: And if you're the president, it's an unbelievable motorcade. It's
15:12
Speaker 3: like 50, literally 50 motorcycles first.
15:17
Speaker 7: And then.
15:19
Speaker 3: The cars, it's like literally 20, 30 cars, SUVs, those
15:24
Speaker 3: presidential limousines, three of them, ambulances, everything, you know, military
15:30
Speaker 3: type vehicles. And then last night, and some of them,
15:33
Speaker 3: have police escorts with the sirens going just to get
15:35
Speaker 3: them through. I don't know what was going on last night,
15:38
Speaker 3: but 10, you could hear the sirens all over Midtown.
15:42
Speaker 3: They start leaving these world leaders today. Some of them
15:45
Speaker 3: stay for a day or two through the weekend because
15:48
Speaker 3: they like to go shopping. They like to go to
15:49
Speaker 3: all the top restaurants and go to Broadway shows and
15:52
Speaker 3: all that. Although I talked to some of the owners
15:55
Speaker 3: of some of our most famous top crowded, hard to
15:58
Speaker 3: get reservation restaurants. And they said, They can't stand this U.N.
16:03
Speaker 3: week because it scares away all the regular customers. They
16:07
Speaker 3: cancel reservations because they don't want to fight this gridlock
16:10
Speaker 3: and street closures. And they don't care about these U.N. delegates.
16:14
Speaker 3: They don't need them. And first of all, they're never
16:16
Speaker 3: coming back. And so by Monday, we should be pretty
16:19
Speaker 3: much back to normal traffic wise. So we've got a
16:22
Speaker 3: lot to get to today. Hey, we'll get to the
16:24
Speaker 3: polls when they keep telling you, look how low President Trump,
16:28
Speaker 3: look how low his approval rating is. They're misleading you,
16:32
Speaker 3: as they always do, by leaving out stuff. We'll get
16:34
Speaker 3: to that coming up. It's Mark Simone. Three hours every day.
16:38
Speaker 3: Three hours now. Nine to noon here on 710WOR.
16:43
Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
16:46
Speaker 9: Three.
16:47
Speaker 10: The Mark Simone Show.
16:48
Speaker 2: Now nine till noon weekdays.
16:51
Speaker 6: 710WOR.
16:55
Speaker 3: Hey, the rain should begin late tonight and then tomorrow, Saturday,
17:01
Speaker 3: a lot of rain throughout the day. It'll continue into Sunday.
17:04
Speaker 3: It looks like it's just rain. It won't be that
17:07
Speaker 3: bad in the city. It's east of the city. The
17:10
Speaker 3: further east you go and south, the worse it'll get. Connecticut,
17:16
Speaker 3: you're going to get a lot of rain. It shouldn't
17:17
Speaker 3: be that bad, though. But it's eastern Long Island where
17:21
Speaker 3: you're going to get hit very hard. Very, very, very hard.
17:24
Speaker 3: A lot of rain. the worst of the wind, but
17:28
Speaker 3: shouldn't be that bad in the city. And if you're
17:31
Speaker 3: in Fairfield County, Westchester, it shouldn't be that bad. And
17:33
Speaker 3: if you're west of the city, New Jersey, it shouldn't
17:36
Speaker 3: be that bad. Now, this CNN pollster, I don't know
17:41
Speaker 3: what the hell's going on with this. CNN, fake news,
17:45
Speaker 3: left wing, very biased. But the pollster there, Harry Enten,
17:52
Speaker 3: he's very honest all the time. I don't know how
17:56
Speaker 3: this happened. I don't know what that's all about. Hey,
17:58
Speaker 3: by the way, the chairman of Paramount, David Ellison, he's
18:02
Speaker 3: the guy that just bought Warner Discovery and CNN and
18:06
Speaker 3: all that. He was invited to the state dinner last night. Interesting.
18:12
Speaker 3: I think really the only network head I saw on
18:14
Speaker 3: the guest list there. But here's the CNN poster. Now,
18:17
Speaker 3: here's what they do in fake news, whether it's MSNOW
18:21
Speaker 3: or CNN. CNN or those kind of places. What they do,
18:25
Speaker 3: sometimes they just lie and give you fake news. Kids
18:28
Speaker 3: in cages, you know, that never happened under Trump. The
18:31
Speaker 3: pictures were all from the Biden-Obama era. Sometimes they doctor
18:35
Speaker 3: up the audio or the video so it says something
18:40
Speaker 3: totally different, like Charlottesville. But then other times they just
18:43
Speaker 3: leave out half the story. They just give you a
18:47
Speaker 3: little piece of the story that will totally mislead you. So,
18:51
Speaker 3: We've seen everybody do that over the last couple of weeks.
18:54
Speaker 3: You keep seeing the story. President's approval ratings have never
18:57
Speaker 3: been lower. The president is so far down in the polls.
19:01
Speaker 3: The president's approval ratings are all time low. He's dropping.
19:05
Speaker 3: He's so low. So you come away thinking he's going
19:09
Speaker 3: to get wiped out. But the part they left out
19:13
Speaker 3: is the Democrats are much lower than he is. Way
19:18
Speaker 3: below him. The Democrats' approval ratings is half of what
19:21
Speaker 3: Trump's is. So as bad as he's doing, the Democrats
19:24
Speaker 3: are doing much worse. But I don't know what it is.
19:27
Speaker 3: The CNN pollster always is honest and they keep cutting him.
19:30
Speaker 3: I don't know why they didn't fire him because he's honest.
19:33
Speaker 3: He's totally honest. Harry Enten, listen to him.
19:35
Speaker 11: Democrats on their own leaders. They don't like their own leaders.
19:39
Speaker 11: I dare say they despise their own leaders. And this
19:41
Speaker 11: is the big difference from what we saw back in 2018,
19:44
Speaker 11: just before Democrats were trying to take back the U.S.
19:46
Speaker 3: House of Representatives that fall. Take a look here.
19:49
Speaker 10: Net approval of Congress.
19:50
Speaker 11: Dem leaders among Democrats back in 2018.
19:52
Speaker 3: Look at this. Their net approval rating was.
19:54
Speaker 11: Plus 19 points.
19:55
Speaker 9: Hey, that's pretty good.
19:56
Speaker 2: Two thumbs up. Cisco and Ebert.
19:58
Speaker 9: Now we're talking about.
19:59
Speaker 2: Two thumbs down. Look at this. Minus 12 points.
20:03
Speaker 11: What a different world that we are in right now.
20:06
Speaker 11: Democrats do not like, they despise.
20:09
Speaker 9: Their own leadership.
20:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, so not only are Democrats doing just as badly
20:14
Speaker 3: as they can in the polls, among Democrats they're hated.
20:19
Speaker 3: I don't know what they think they're going to accomplish.
20:21
Speaker 3: You know, you see all these crazy left-wing, crazy Democratic socialists,
20:25
Speaker 3: anti-Semites getting all the attention. But when you get into
20:27
Speaker 3: the real numbers, real polls, They're not popular even with Democrats.
20:32
Speaker 3: So there's going to be a problem. People keep trying
20:35
Speaker 3: to tell you what's going to happen in the midterms.
20:37
Speaker 3: You really can't predict it right now. Hey, speaking of leaders,
20:43
Speaker 3: the Democrats hate Schumer. Hate him. Hate him. He has
20:49
Speaker 3: no chance at reelection. He now knows this. He will
20:53
Speaker 3: not seek reelection. So That seat, the big Senate seat,
20:57
Speaker 3: is up for grabs. AOC is always talked about as
21:01
Speaker 3: the one who will take it. Or maybe she'll run
21:03
Speaker 3: for president. Well, it's always been talked about, thought about.
21:08
Speaker 3: Looks like she's really, really about to try to do it.
21:12
Speaker 3: She's been on the campaign trail. Now, she's a Congresswoman.
21:17
Speaker 3: And when you're in Congress, you just represent a local district,
21:20
Speaker 3: her district in Queens. That's where you campaign. If you're
21:23
Speaker 3: a senator, it's statewide. Well, she's now begun a statewide campaign.
21:29
Speaker 3: So this is either for Schumer's seat in the Senate
21:32
Speaker 3: or 2028. AOC now touring upstate, campaigning upstate. She went
21:40
Speaker 3: to Buffalo to do a rally with potential supporters. Buffalo.
21:46
Speaker 3: She joined Kathy Hochul for another rally. Her team is also...
21:51
Speaker 3: setting up in Syracuse, Ithaca. That's the home to Cornell University,
21:55
Speaker 3: a terrible anti-Semitic university. Members of the Democratic Socialists of
22:01
Speaker 3: America are all over that place. They're even on the
22:04
Speaker 3: city council up there. It's just horrible up there. But
22:07
Speaker 3: AOC now campaigning statewide. That means she's really, really serious
22:13
Speaker 3: about all of this. So they had this press ban. yesterday,
22:19
Speaker 3: the president, first half of the day, looked like they
22:21
Speaker 3: defied the court order and kept banning CNN and MSNBC now.
22:26
Speaker 3: And if you watch CNN, they're basically covering themselves all
22:30
Speaker 3: day about how they were banned and MSNBC, about how
22:34
Speaker 3: they were banned. But, and other networks joined in to not,
22:40
Speaker 3: to ban themselves in solidarity with CNN and MSNBC. Other networks,
22:46
Speaker 3: even Fox agreed to not participate in the pool coverage,
22:50
Speaker 3: just solidarity among... Remember when Obama tried to ban Fox?
22:56
Speaker 3: I don't think the other networks joined in in solidarity.
23:00
Speaker 3: But it's interesting, without the pool, without these reporters all
23:04
Speaker 3: over everything, including the Xi visit to the White House,
23:09
Speaker 3: it's supposed to make Trump suffer that he's not getting
23:12
Speaker 3: the coverage. Actually, I've never seen him look happier. It's
23:15
Speaker 3: made for... the White House better for him. You don't
23:18
Speaker 3: have Caitlin Collins sneering at him. You don't have these
23:21
Speaker 3: nasty reporters screaming horrible questions at him when he talks
23:25
Speaker 3: to Xi. And I'm watching, here's Joe Scarborough saying it's
23:30
Speaker 3: humiliated Trump. He's not getting the coverage. He's getting plenty
23:34
Speaker 3: of coverage, plenty of coverage. I saw every moment of
23:38
Speaker 3: the Xi visit. You see it online. You see it
23:41
Speaker 3: on Instagram. You see it on Twitter. You see it
23:43
Speaker 3: on Just because you're not seeing it on MS Now
23:46
Speaker 3: with their 600,000 viewers, it doesn't really mean that much.
23:49
Speaker 3: Or CNN with their 300,000 viewers. That's really not where
23:53
Speaker 3: people see things. It's online nowadays, and there's plenty of coverage. Hey,
23:58
Speaker 3: we got a lot to get to. We'll take some calls, too.
23:59
Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 is the number. It's Mark Simone here. Three hours
24:06
Speaker 3: every day. It's 9 a.m. to noon. 9 a.m. to
24:09
Speaker 3: noon every day.
24:10
Speaker 10: The Mark Simone Show.
24:11
Speaker 1: Now 9 till noon weekdays.
24:16
Speaker 12: 710WOR.
24:17
Speaker 3: Well, big speech yesterday. Netanyahu at the UN. Phenomenal speech.
24:21
Speaker 3: We'll play you parts of it a little later. Hey,
24:23
Speaker 3: and good news. The IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, killed
24:28
Speaker 3: a major Hamas commander yesterday. A guy who had held
24:32
Speaker 3: seven Israeli hostages in the A tunnel in Gaza. The
24:37
Speaker 3: Israeli Defense Forces said on Thursday they had eliminated, killed,
24:42
Speaker 3: Mahmoud Abdel Fattah Awad, a Hamas commander. This is the
24:47
Speaker 3: guy that held seven hostages in a Gaza tunnel during
24:50
Speaker 3: the war. Killed in an airstrike in Gaza City. Well,
24:54
Speaker 3: good for the IDF. Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710
24:56
Speaker 3: is the number.
24:56
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
25:05
Speaker 3: You remember Butler, Pennsylvania, the assassination attempt. Donald Trump hit
25:10
Speaker 3: in the ear. And you remember the crazed shooter, Thomas
25:15
Speaker 3: Matthew Crooks, fired a bunch of shots. Luckily, Trump turned
25:19
Speaker 3: his head. They missed him. One hit his ear, but
25:21
Speaker 3: the others missed him. But one hit a guy behind
25:24
Speaker 3: him and killed him. And another guy was hit with
25:28
Speaker 3: a bullet. It was taken to the hospital. He was
25:31
Speaker 3: just wounded. Only wounded in that failed assassination attempt, but
25:37
Speaker 3: he died yesterday. He passed away. He was apparently wounded
25:41
Speaker 3: badly enough that it took a long time, but he
25:44
Speaker 3: died yesterday. He's in his mid-70s. His name was James
25:48
Speaker 3: Copenhaver of Coropolis, Pennsylvania. Wounded in the assassination attempt and
25:57
Speaker 3: died yesterday. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to
26:00
Speaker 3: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
26:03
Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark.
26:04
Speaker 3: Yes, Mike.
26:07
Speaker 8: I love these actresses, you know, Susan Sarandon and the
26:10
Speaker 8: rest of them, going out there, you know, once they
26:14
Speaker 8: become completely irrelevant and they try to look smart by
26:18
Speaker 8: thinking that by protesting the most liberal state in the world, perhaps, Israel,
26:23
Speaker 8: that they're going to somehow make an impact. You know,
26:27
Speaker 8: talk about artificial intelligence. These actresses are the exemplars of it. But,
26:33
Speaker 8: you know, it's ironic because Israel literally is one of
26:36
Speaker 8: the most liberal states. I mean, they treat women, nobody
26:38
Speaker 8: treats women better than they do in Israel. And these
26:40
Speaker 8: are all feminists, as they proclaim. I mean, let Susan
26:44
Speaker 8: Sarandon go to Gaza, you know, see how she gets
26:46
Speaker 8: treated there. Maybe her career will get a rebound.
26:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, very good point. Nobody worse to women than people
26:53
Speaker 3: in Gaza. Nobody better to women than Israel. And they
26:57
Speaker 3: hate it because it's a democracy. It's a real democracy.
27:01
Speaker 5: Exactly.
27:01
Speaker 8: It's a real open. I mean, they employ more, you know,
27:04
Speaker 8: they employ Gazans in Israel. I mean, up until a
27:08
Speaker 8: certain point, maybe not anymore. You know, I mean, and
27:12
Speaker 8: also there's 19 other Arab states and none of them
27:14
Speaker 8: support Gaza.
27:16
Speaker 3: Which is interesting.
27:16
Speaker 8: I mean, nobody ever asked that question.
27:18
Speaker 7: Yeah.
27:18
Speaker 3: No, listen, anti-Semitism is always based on absolute stupidity, anger, rage, hatred.
27:24
Speaker 3: It's not based on anything logical of any kind, but
27:28
Speaker 3: good call, Mike. Thanks for calling. Let's go to, uh,
27:30
Speaker 3: Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?
27:35
Speaker 13: Good morning. I want everybody to notice that you're true
27:37
Speaker 13: to your word that you were going to, uh, be
27:40
Speaker 13: here on Fridays in the fall. Appreciate that very much.
27:44
Speaker 3: All I did in the summer, mostly August, is take
27:48
Speaker 3: Fridays off. You know, I got all these weeks of vacation.
27:51
Speaker 3: I don't like to take a whole week at a time.
27:53
Speaker 3: So instead of taking a week, I.
27:55
Speaker 5: Take every Friday.
27:56
Speaker 13: But people, for some reason, people are panicking. But I love,
28:02
Speaker 13: you know, I want to tell you, I love Jimmy
28:03
Speaker 13: Fallon so much. So much. And I just want to say, Mark,
28:07
Speaker 13: that you had the perfect Jimmy Fallon moment.
28:11
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon. Fallon.
28:12
Speaker 7: Fallon.
28:13
Speaker 13: Yes, I know. You said, I fell over laughing like
28:18
Speaker 13: I do when I'm listening to him. He needs to
28:20
Speaker 13: steal this line. You said that the guy was so far,
28:24
Speaker 13: as far left as your salad fork.
28:27
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Well, Jimmy Fallon, one of the funniest comedians.
28:32
Speaker 3: He's on here every night, nine to midnight. You ever
28:35
Speaker 3: watch his Saturday night show, Fox News Channel, 10 o'clock?
28:38
Speaker 12: I do.
28:39
Speaker 7: I do.
28:40
Speaker 3: Best monologue in television. He's brilliant.
28:43
Speaker 13: His jackets kill me.
28:46
Speaker 3: All right. I wouldn't steal his wardrobe, but it's perfect
28:50
Speaker 3: for him.
28:50
Speaker 13: But you stole that line. That was a great one.
28:53
Speaker 13: You need to take credit for that one. I know
28:55
Speaker 13: I didn't deliver it as well as you did, but
28:58
Speaker 13: it was hysterical. I've never heard that line before.
29:01
Speaker 3: Yeah. What do you do down there in North Carolina?
29:04
Speaker 13: And by the way, it's very impressive that you know
29:07
Speaker 13: where the salad fork is. That was the whole point.
29:09
Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
29:10
Speaker 3: You know what? People aren't sure which fork to use.
29:14
Speaker 3: Grab whatever fork you want. Who the hell cares? Take
29:17
Speaker 3: any fork you want.
29:18
Speaker 13: No, but the salad fork is the farthest on the left.
29:21
Speaker 13: You're correct. And I try to always tell people that
29:24
Speaker 13: all the time.
29:25
Speaker 3: I know. But what the hell is it? Take any
29:26
Speaker 3: fork you want. What happens if you don't use the
29:30
Speaker 3: smallest fork for the salad? Oh, you used a bigger fork.
29:32
Speaker 14: That's.
29:33
Speaker 3: Take whatever fork. Bring your own fork. Don't even touch
29:36
Speaker 3: their stuff.
29:36
Speaker 13: But I also, if we have a minute, I want to...
29:40
Speaker 13: implore you again that somehow I would love to read
29:43
Speaker 13: your Instagram feed, but somehow I got blocked and it
29:47
Speaker 13: could not have been but by mistake.
29:49
Speaker 12: Because.
29:51
Speaker 13: because I never did anything, and I miss.
29:53
Speaker 5: Seeing you on Instagram.
29:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, people always say that. The only way you get
29:55
Speaker 3: blocked is if you put up an inappropriate comment.
29:57
Speaker 13: That's not true, Mark. I know every comment I ever made.
30:01
Speaker 3: Well, one of them was either not relevant to whatever
30:03
Speaker 3: the post was, or it was attacking somebody. No political anything.
30:10
Speaker 13: No, it definitely wasn't. We have common friends. We've worked
30:13
Speaker 13: at the same stations together separately, of course.
30:16
Speaker 3: We did? What station did we work at together?
30:20
Speaker 13: Pro, but not together.
30:21
Speaker 3: W-P-R-O, Providence. Oh, okay.
30:25
Speaker 13: I do not remember my gangster story about Pro-FM when
30:28
Speaker 13: I first worked there.
30:30
Speaker 3: There was a gangster? P-R-O-F-M is the big, like the
30:32
Speaker 3: Z-100 of Rhode Island.
30:33
Speaker 7: Yes.
30:34
Speaker 3: And what happened?
30:35
Speaker 13: So I worked on the FM side, and there was
30:38
Speaker 13: a man there when I first started who escorted me in,
30:42
Speaker 13: and he looked, he was huge, and I thought, oh,
30:43
Speaker 13: this is so nice, he's escorting me. And it turns
30:46
Speaker 13: out he was the bodyguard for the mayor.
30:48
Speaker 7: Oh.
30:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, Buddy Cianci, he did a radio show there on
30:53
Speaker 3: the weekends.
30:55
Speaker 13: Yes, and it was terrifying. The guy was like, I
30:58
Speaker 13: couldn't believe it. Every time I got there, there was
31:00
Speaker 13: like armed guards. And when I figured out it was
31:03
Speaker 13: a mafia connection, it just completely freaked me out. It
31:05
Speaker 13: took me a minute to figure it out.
31:07
Speaker 3: You know, when I worked there on the AM, which
31:10
Speaker 3: was the big station in New England, there was a
31:13
Speaker 3: gangster working there. He was a weekend host.
31:17
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sure.
31:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to mention his name. I think
31:19
Speaker 3: he's dead. I'm sure he's dead. But he was a
31:22
Speaker 3: gangster during the week and a DJ on the weekend.
31:25
Speaker 3: And everybody was very cautious around him.
31:28
Speaker 13: Oh, I thought you were talking about the mayor.
31:30
Speaker 3: No, no, no. This was an actual Providence gangster who
31:34
Speaker 3: worked there. And there were all kinds of jokes about
31:36
Speaker 3: he's not only playing the hits, he's doing the hits
31:38
Speaker 3: or something like that.
31:40
Speaker 13: Anyway, I'm sure you have some minions there like Chris
31:42
Speaker 13: or somebody who's fabulous that could help me figure out why...
31:46
Speaker 13: I can't get you on Instagram.
31:50
Speaker 3: You got blocked because you put up a comment.
31:52
Speaker 13: No, I didn't.
31:52
Speaker 3: That's the only way you could get blocked. Anyway, send
31:56
Speaker 3: me an email. Go to my website, MarkSimone.com. Hit the
32:00
Speaker 3: email button. I'll get to it, and we'll look in
32:02
Speaker 3: to see why you got blocked. Okay. Nope, she went away.
32:07
Speaker 3: What happened? All right. Thanks. One more call? Yeah, let's
32:11
Speaker 3: go to Carl in Middletown, New Jersey.
32:15
Speaker 15: Carl?
32:16
Speaker 7: Hey, Mark, how you doing?
32:19
Speaker 3: Hey, next time you call, could you try to have
32:20
Speaker 3: more noise? You don't have enough noise behind you.
32:22
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm sorry.
32:25
Speaker 3: For everybody listening, when you call, make sure there's a
32:27
Speaker 3: lot of noise behind you and be 50 feet away
32:29
Speaker 3: from the phone. That's what we like.
32:32
Speaker 8: I'm on Bluetooth.
32:33
Speaker 12: I'm sorry. What would CNN say if we turned.
32:38
Speaker 7: Up all the TVs in the airport?
32:40
Speaker 3: I can't understand one word you're saying. What is it
32:42
Speaker 3: with the Bluetooth? You know, there's like 4 million people listening.
32:44
Speaker 3: That's not enough to get you to pick up the
32:46
Speaker 3: phone and actually talk into it. How many do we
32:48
Speaker 3: have to have listening before you'll actually hold the phone?
32:51
Speaker 12: Is that better?
32:52
Speaker 3: Much better. Now we can hear you.
32:55
Speaker 8: I apologize to everyone listening. What would CNN's ratings be
32:59
Speaker 8: if we turned off all the TVs in the airports?
33:02
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't really affect their ratings. You know, that's
33:05
Speaker 3: a good point you brought up. A lot of people say,
33:06
Speaker 3: how come every airport, oh, they only show, why do
33:08
Speaker 3: they only show CNN in the airport? They pay for that.
33:12
Speaker 3: There's a company that runs all the airport TVs in
33:15
Speaker 3: America and you pay them to put your channel on.
33:18
Speaker 3: And that's why CNN does that. Now you say, well,
33:20
Speaker 3: why didn't Fox pay them? Fox doesn't need to. Fox
33:23
Speaker 3: has huge ratings. CNN pays for that. It's a form
33:26
Speaker 3: of advertising. So that's actually paid for. It's not the
33:29
Speaker 3: airport's decision. Hey, we've got a lot to get to.
33:32
Speaker 3: I'm here now three hours every day, nine to noon
33:34
Speaker 3: every day. Then, of course, at noon, Buck Saxton and
33:37
Speaker 3: Clay Travis. And we've got to talk about that show.
33:42
Speaker 3: We'll do it in a little while. Coming up on 710WOR.
33:46
Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
33:50
Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's just about 10 o'clock. This is when
33:53
Speaker 3: I used to get here. Now we start early. The
33:57
Speaker 3: show's now nine to noon, three hours every day. Back
34:00
Speaker 3: right after the news with a big hour coming up
34:02
Speaker 3: on 710WOR.
34:05
Speaker 10: The Mark Simone Show.
34:07
Speaker 2: Nine till noon weekdays. More Mark.
34:12
Speaker 16: 710WOR.
34:13
Speaker 3: Well, hey, welcome to the second hour. That's right. If
34:16
Speaker 3: you just joined us, we start at nine o'clock now.
34:19
Speaker 3: You missed the first hour. Nine to noon every day
34:22
Speaker 3: here on 710WOR. It's Friday. That's the good news. Later tonight,
34:28
Speaker 3: it's going to start raining again. It's going to rain
34:30
Speaker 3: all day tomorrow. That will continue into Sunday. That's the
34:33
Speaker 3: bad news. If you're east of the city, it might
34:36
Speaker 3: be really ugly, what they call a nor'easter. If you're
34:40
Speaker 3: right in the city, it shouldn't be that bad, just
34:42
Speaker 3: a lot of rain. The wind won't be as bad.
34:44
Speaker 3: If you're in Westchester, Fairfield County, it's not going to
34:49
Speaker 3: be horrific. But if you're in eastern Long Island, it
34:52
Speaker 3: could get pretty ugly out there over the weekend with
34:55
Speaker 3: 60-mile-an-hour winds, that sort of thing. If you're... West of
34:59
Speaker 3: the city, north of the city, you're probably okay. It's
35:01
Speaker 3: south and east of the city that's going to get
35:04
Speaker 3: the worst of it. So the good news also is
35:08
Speaker 3: the last big day of UN week, Netanyahu was probably
35:13
Speaker 3: the busiest day. Then today, they start going away, these
35:18
Speaker 3: world leaders. Tonight, they start leaving. Some of them stay Saturday,
35:22
Speaker 3: Sunday to run around New York and do stuff. But
35:24
Speaker 3: then by Monday... Even though the UN General Assembly continues,
35:29
Speaker 3: most of the world leaders will be gone, and the gridlock,
35:32
Speaker 3: the street closures, all of that, that should be all
35:34
Speaker 3: gone by Monday. This is the most useless event in
35:39
Speaker 3: the world, this United Nations General Assembly this week. Over there,
35:43
Speaker 3: they call it UNGA, U-N-G-A, UNGA. It is the most
35:49
Speaker 3: useless thing in the world. It is the worst organization
35:52
Speaker 3: on earth, the United Nations General They are absolutely horrible.
35:56
Speaker 3: It's just a big VIP lounge for anti-Semites. It's a
36:00
Speaker 3: horrible place. They get absolutely nothing done. They're concerned about
36:07
Speaker 3: nothing important. Their anti-Semitism is very important to them. This
36:11
Speaker 3: is the same U.N. that totally, totally ignored Islamic terrorism,
36:17
Speaker 3: totally ignored genocide against Christians in Africa. They never mention it,
36:22
Speaker 3: never comes up at the U.N. It's just a horrible place.
36:26
Speaker 3: It's the most disgusting building you've ever seen on the inside. Outside,
36:31
Speaker 3: it doesn't look bad. When you get in there, it's
36:32
Speaker 3: a rundown, broken down, crappy mess in there. Their finances
36:38
Speaker 3: are a total disaster. They're heavily in debt. Their budget
36:43
Speaker 3: is $ 4 billion a year. They end up spending $ 70
36:46
Speaker 3: billion a year. They're an absolute, reckless, out-of-control mess. But
36:52
Speaker 3: for some reason, people still pay attention to them. So
36:55
Speaker 3: that's why it was important for Netanyahu to come address
36:59
Speaker 3: the U.N. He knows it's a room full of disgusting anti-Semites.
37:05
Speaker 3: And sure enough, as Netanyahu gets up, he didn't say
37:07
Speaker 3: anything yet. He just just the fact that he was
37:10
Speaker 3: standing there. Half the U.N. walked out. They stood up
37:13
Speaker 3: and walked out of their seats. And Netanyahu, good for him.
37:17
Speaker 3: Listen to what he said.
37:18
Speaker 12: Mr.
37:18
Speaker 7: President.
37:21
Speaker 6: Before I begin, just a quick announcement. If there are
37:26
Speaker 6: any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall,
37:31
Speaker 6: please do so now. Thank you very much.
37:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, good for him, walking out. This is like one
37:39
Speaker 3: of the most crucial international situations. Israel, Netanyahu, they all
37:45
Speaker 3: walk out on him. They walk out. They're not there
37:48
Speaker 3: for any serious purposes. They're there to waste money. They're
37:53
Speaker 3: there to celebrate their anti-Semitism. But Netanyahu was a great speech.
37:58
Speaker 6: To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left
38:03
Speaker 6: us all, I ask, where were you when the Iranian
38:09
Speaker 6: tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians?
38:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, Iran slaughtering citizens in the streets. The reaction from
38:20
Speaker 3: the UN? They couldn't have cared less.
38:24
Speaker 5: Mr.
38:24
Speaker 6: Mamdani, you try to stop me from coming here. You
38:30
Speaker 6: try to silence me. Well, you can't silence me. You
38:34
Speaker 6: can't silence the truth. And here's the simple truth.
38:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Mamdani is kind of doing like a
38:48
Speaker 3: Like a Megyn Kelly, like a Tucker Carlson. You know
38:51
Speaker 3: these two lunatics, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson? Every time you look, oh,
38:56
Speaker 3: look what they said. Oh, my God, they said something
38:58
Speaker 3: so outrageous. That's why Tucker Carlson does that. Megyn Kelly
39:03
Speaker 3: does that because they'll get, you know, it might be
39:05
Speaker 3: an attack article, but they'll make headlines in all the
39:09
Speaker 3: liberal stuff, and then people will click on the link,
39:14
Speaker 3: and they'll get clicks on their websites and on their whatever.
39:18
Speaker 3: And then they get credit for that. They call those
39:20
Speaker 3: click whores. A click whore will say anything to get
39:23
Speaker 3: clicks on their website. For instance, Tucker Carlson yesterday demanding
39:29
Speaker 3: that Trump's campaign remove him from office via the 25th Amendment.
39:33
Speaker 3: He should be bundled up and taken out. This is
39:35
Speaker 3: a guy whose whole life is devoted to supporting Donald Trump.
39:38
Speaker 3: Now he's demanding he be removed from office, that they
39:41
Speaker 3: tie him up and carry him out. So why does
39:43
Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson do this? Why does Megyn Kelly do this?
39:46
Speaker 3: Because they got fired. They can't get on the air.
39:49
Speaker 3: If you're on the big network, you've got millions and
39:51
Speaker 3: millions of viewers. If you're on iHeart, you've got millions
39:54
Speaker 3: and millions of listeners. If you're fired from everywhere and
39:58
Speaker 3: you're doing the show from your home in your pajamas,
40:04
Speaker 3: you've got to get attention. Nobody would know about it
40:07
Speaker 3: or listen to it unless you get attention. So you've
40:09
Speaker 3: got to say crazy, outrageous things. And then everybody covers
40:13
Speaker 3: you and then you'll get clicks. As they say, they're
40:16
Speaker 3: click whores. I think Mamdani is a bit of the
40:18
Speaker 3: same thing. Now, he knows he can't arrest Netanyahu. He
40:21
Speaker 3: had absolutely no authority to arrest Netanyahu. Actually, nobody can
40:25
Speaker 3: arrest Netanyahu. He's got diplomatic immunity when he comes to
40:28
Speaker 3: speak at the UN General Assembly. And he's not guilty
40:31
Speaker 3: of anything. And you can say, well, the International Criminal Court,
40:36
Speaker 3: that's not a real court. It's not a real court.
40:39
Speaker 3: It's not recognized by anybody. It's just a made-up fake court.
40:44
Speaker 3: You could make up your own court, the Global Citizen
40:47
Speaker 3: Criminal Court. print up some stationery and there you go.
40:51
Speaker 3: But it's not a real court. So he knows he
40:53
Speaker 3: can't do it. So why would he say it? Because
40:54
Speaker 3: it gets him all over the headlines. He becomes a
40:58
Speaker 3: subject of a speech in the United Nations General Assembly.
41:03
Speaker 3: So he's like Tucker Carlson. You just say this crap
41:05
Speaker 3: and you get a lot of attention and people talk
41:08
Speaker 3: about you. It makes you seem more important than you are. Hey,
41:12
Speaker 3: good news. Bruce Blakeman is pretty much caught up to
41:14
Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul in the polls. It's pretty much tied. Now,
41:19
Speaker 3: you could tell even without reading the, I'm talking about
41:22
Speaker 3: the real polls, not the fake public polls, but he's
41:25
Speaker 3: pretty much tied Kathy Hochul. If you watch a lot
41:28
Speaker 3: of television, you'll notice you're seeing these attack ads against
41:31
Speaker 3: Blakeman all over the place. Every time you turn around,
41:34
Speaker 3: there's an attack ad against Blakeman. This is from Kathy Hochul.
41:38
Speaker 3: She's spending a fortune right now with these attack ads.
41:42
Speaker 3: She's running them day and night, a whole series of
41:45
Speaker 3: vicious attack ads. Why all of a sudden? because she
41:48
Speaker 3: saw the real polls, the private polls, the internal polls.
41:52
Speaker 3: She saw them catching up. This is panic on her.
41:54
Speaker 3: This is fear, panic on her part. That's why they
41:58
Speaker 3: opened up the checkbook and started spending a fortune real
42:01
Speaker 3: fast on attack ads, because he caught up. But Blakeman...
42:04
Speaker 3: doing very well in the campaign.
42:06
Speaker 4: How can it be possible that in a deep blue state,
42:10
Speaker 4: a Republican could be neck and neck with a Democrat?
42:13
Speaker 4: And it's because Kathy Hochul is the worst governor in America.
42:17
Speaker 4: We have the highest taxes in America. Our utility bills
42:21
Speaker 4: are 70% higher than the national average. And she is
42:23
Speaker 4: the most pro-criminal governor in the United States.
42:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's one of those no bail, no jail. Andrew
42:30
Speaker 3: Cuomo created that no bail, no jail. He's the guy
42:32
Speaker 3: that pushed it, signed it. And she backs it up.
42:35
Speaker 3: No bail, no jail. Let the criminals loose. Cuomo started
42:39
Speaker 3: that thing of close the prisons, let them all out.
42:41
Speaker 3: That's Kathy Hochul. And she, Cuomo started it with closing
42:46
Speaker 3: Indian Point. She's continued it. Cuomo and Hochul. Remember your
42:52
Speaker 3: electric bill was like $ 100. Now it's 400. That's because
42:56
Speaker 3: of this, because of them, these two. They closed Indian Point.
42:59
Speaker 3: They banned fracking. So it drove up the... Indian Point
43:04
Speaker 3: was 25% of our electricity. It drove up the price
43:07
Speaker 3: of electricity. You know, if you're complaining about the gas prices,
43:11
Speaker 3: 75 cents of that is a state tax. 75 cents
43:15
Speaker 3: a gallon is state tax. They could drop that right now. Or,
43:19
Speaker 3: you know, if the war is raising the price, freeze
43:24
Speaker 3: that state gas tax. Eliminate it for 30 days or
43:27
Speaker 3: 60 days. So Hochul... drives your electric bill way up.
43:33
Speaker 3: And now she's offered, she's now saying she's going to
43:35
Speaker 3: send everybody a $ 500 credit for electricity. But you've paid
43:40
Speaker 3: an extra $ 5, 000 thanks to her for electricity, but she'll
43:43
Speaker 3: send you $ 500 of your own money. But Blakeman talking
43:46
Speaker 3: about this every year.
43:47
Speaker 9: It's taxes and utility bills.
43:50
Speaker 4: We are losing hundreds of thousands of people a year
43:53
Speaker 4: moving to other places because it's so expensive. Kathy Hochul's
43:57
Speaker 4: approved $ 48, 000 rate hikes on our utility bills, 21 fare
44:02
Speaker 4: hikes on our trains, subways, and buses. Basically, people have said,
44:08
Speaker 4: we don't see economic activity in this state. We're number
44:10
Speaker 4: 50 in economic outlook.
44:12
Speaker 7: Yeah.
44:12
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a mess. It's a mess under Hochul.
44:15
Speaker 3: People are leaving. Hey, and Blakeman has basically been a
44:18
Speaker 3: governor for the last five years, six years. That's what
44:22
Speaker 3: a county executive is, is a governor. Nassau County is
44:24
Speaker 3: a big place. It's like 4 million people. It's bigger
44:28
Speaker 3: than half of our states. It's a big place. So
44:31
Speaker 3: he's been considered the best county executive in America, and
44:36
Speaker 3: that's being a governor.
44:37
Speaker 4: You take a look at my record in a county
44:39
Speaker 4: that's larger than eight states. As chief executive, I cut
44:43
Speaker 4: a $ 150 million increase of my predecessor.
44:45
Speaker 9: I haven't raised taxes a penny in five years. And U.S.
44:49
Speaker 9: News & World Report says I have.
44:50
Speaker 4: The safest county in America.
44:53
Speaker 9: People want that kind of leadership. They're fed up with
44:55
Speaker 9: Kathy Hochul and one-party rule.
44:57
Speaker 8: Yeah.
44:58
Speaker 3: Now, Hochul not only is in panic spending a fortune
45:01
Speaker 3: all of a sudden on these attack ads against Blakeman.
45:04
Speaker 3: You know, if you're doing well, you don't have to
45:06
Speaker 3: waste all that money on attack ads. But she saw
45:08
Speaker 3: the polls running attack ads all over the place. Now,
45:12
Speaker 3: she's refusing to debate Blakeman. She's refused to turn down
45:18
Speaker 3: the Channel 2 debate, the Channel 4 debate, the Channel
45:20
Speaker 3: 5 debate, the Channel 7 debate. The only one she's
45:24
Speaker 3: accepted is New York One. Why? It's a little tiny thing,
45:29
Speaker 3: New York One, very few viewers, and it's very left-wing,
45:33
Speaker 3: very biased, very slanted left. And the moderator will be
45:37
Speaker 3: Errol Lewis, nice guy, but the most left-wing slanted guy.
45:41
Speaker 3: That's the only one she'll agree to. Now, Blakeman's got
45:44
Speaker 3: to push her. to do a real debate on a
45:47
Speaker 3: real TV channel.
45:48
Speaker 4: I'm going to talk about my record and compare it
45:50
Speaker 4: to hers. My record is one of achievement and hers
45:52
Speaker 4: is one of failure. So she tries to talk about
45:55
Speaker 4: everything other than her record. Any commercial you've seen about her,
45:59
Speaker 4: any social media post, says nothing about her record because
46:02
Speaker 4: she's got a terrible record.
46:04
Speaker 12: Yeah.
46:05
Speaker 3: Hey, and the greatest compliment to Bruce Blakeman, all these
46:08
Speaker 3: attack ads, they only attack him on one thing, that
46:10
Speaker 3: he's friends with Donald Trump. And believe me, they had
46:14
Speaker 3: a team of opposition research people look at Blakeman for
46:20
Speaker 3: a billion hours to find something on him. Well, apparently
46:24
Speaker 3: they couldn't find anything on him because all the attack
46:26
Speaker 3: ads are, hey, look at him with Donald Trump. He's
46:28
Speaker 3: friends with Donald Trump. He likes Donald Trump. That's the
46:31
Speaker 3: only thing they got on him. Quite a compliment to Blakeman. Hey,
46:37
Speaker 3: Macron of France made this ridiculous speech at the UN
46:40
Speaker 3: talking about... Free Palestine or something. You always count on
46:45
Speaker 3: the wormy, weaselly French president to cause some trouble. Hey,
46:51
Speaker 3: Carney of Canada, the Carney is the Canadian prime minister,
46:55
Speaker 3: Mark Carney. You know, there was a little battle there
46:58
Speaker 3: over tariffs. There was a battle over some issues with Canada.
47:03
Speaker 3: And this crazy Mark Carney, Canadian prime minister, confirms that
47:08
Speaker 3: he prepped for of the US to invade Canada. He
47:16
Speaker 3: said it would have been irresponsible not to. As they
47:19
Speaker 3: got into that tariff battle with Canada, he considered the
47:22
Speaker 3: possibility of the US launching an invasion of Canada. It
47:28
Speaker 3: was like a trade war, an economic trade war. He said,
47:31
Speaker 3: if you have a responsibility, you have to plan and prepare.
47:35
Speaker 3: So they were preparing for the invasion of Canada by
47:38
Speaker 3: the United States. What the hell would we invade Canada for?
47:43
Speaker 3: What on earth would we want in Canada? Absolutely. What
47:48
Speaker 3: are we going to invade? Windsor, Canada? What are we
47:52
Speaker 3: going to invade? Quebec? Who the hell cares? And let's
47:55
Speaker 3: say we did invade. Not that we ever would. Let's
47:57
Speaker 3: say we were going to invade. What the hell would
47:59
Speaker 3: they do about it? Were they going to send some Mounties?
48:03
Speaker 3: Were they going to have Dudley do right in a
48:04
Speaker 3: couple of Mounties trying to stop us? They invade Canada.
48:11
Speaker 3: Could you imagine? First of all, a Boy Scout troop
48:13
Speaker 3: could take over Canada. Anyway, hey, Buck and Clay, you know,
48:17
Speaker 3: they do a great show, Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. They're
48:19
Speaker 3: on every day at noon, noon to three. It's a
48:21
Speaker 3: very big show. It's about 10 million listeners now. They
48:25
Speaker 3: replaced Rush Limbaugh. You remember when Rush left us? About
48:31
Speaker 3: 12 guys all of a sudden claimed they were replacing Rush. Yeah.
48:37
Speaker 3: I don't want to mention any names. You know some
48:38
Speaker 3: of them. Yes, I'm replacing Rush. I'll be on at noon,
48:41
Speaker 3: noon to three. I'm replacing Rush. None of them were
48:43
Speaker 3: replacing Rush. It was Buck and Clay that actually replaced Rush.
48:48
Speaker 3: They were hired by the company that did the Rush show,
48:51
Speaker 3: iHeart Premiere. They do the show from Rush Limbaugh's studio.
48:56
Speaker 3: They sit in Rush Limbaugh's chair. They have Rush Limbaugh's engineer,
49:01
Speaker 3: Mike Mamone. He's been there for a million years. He
49:04
Speaker 3: was the guy running the Rush show every day. So
49:06
Speaker 3: their show is produced by the Rush people, run by
49:09
Speaker 3: the Rush staff. It's in the Rush studio. They use
49:12
Speaker 3: Rush's theme song. But the reason I bring this up
49:15
Speaker 3: is this Mike Mamone, been with us for a million years,
49:18
Speaker 3: all the way back to the... the beginnings at WABC
49:21
Speaker 3: years ago he is retiring today's his last day so
49:25
Speaker 3: you want to listen to Buck and Clay Sean Hannity
49:28
Speaker 3: had him on yesterday as a guest for a half
49:30
Speaker 3: hour Mike Mamone the great engineer of Rush Limbaugh he'll
49:34
Speaker 3: be on with he's on with Buck and Clay but
49:37
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll talk to him on the air about
49:38
Speaker 3: it it's his final day today So we wish him well.
49:43
Speaker 3: We'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
49:44
Speaker 6: 800-321-0710.
49:44
Speaker 3: And now, Mark Simone on 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens.
49:47
Speaker 3: We'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
49:49
Speaker 9: 800-321-0710.
49:49
Speaker 3: 3 2 1 0 7 10. Let's go to Dave
50:09
Speaker 3: in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
50:12
Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark.
50:13
Speaker 9: I'm doing very well.
50:14
Speaker 14: Thank you, Mark.
50:15
Speaker 17: I was highly impressed with Caroline Leavitt on the Sean
50:19
Speaker 17: Hannity podcast. I mean, she's just incredibly amazing. Some of
50:24
Speaker 17: her recollections of being in the situation, Rome meetings with
50:28
Speaker 17: world leaders. Mark, my question is, is it possible that
50:32
Speaker 17: a little further down the road, as she raises her
50:35
Speaker 17: two kids, uh, that Fox News would offer her her
50:38
Speaker 17: own show?
50:39
Speaker 3: They already have. She has a standing offer. So far
50:43
Speaker 3: she's said no, she doesn't want to go back to
50:45
Speaker 3: full-time work, but they've already made the offer. She has
50:49
Speaker 3: a standing offer to do a show at Fox. A
50:51
Speaker 3: lot of former White House press secretaries have shows at Fox.
50:54
Speaker 3: Dana Perino, Kayleigh McEnany. She will be one of them.
50:59
Speaker 3: But when she's ready, when her kids are a little older.
51:03
Speaker 3: She will go back to work. Good question, Dave. Let's
51:06
Speaker 3: go to Kelly in Brooklyn. Kelly, how are you doing?
51:10
Speaker 5: Good.
51:10
Speaker 18: How are you, Mark?
51:11
Speaker 3: Let me check.
51:12
Speaker 18: I have a comment to make.
51:14
Speaker 3: Not bad.
51:16
Speaker 14: Okay.
51:17
Speaker 18: You've been saying about the kind of like a rebate
51:19
Speaker 18: check that she's going to send out to Hochul.
51:22
Speaker 14: Okay.
51:23
Speaker 18: Everywhere else I heard it was $ 200. I called Hochul's office.
51:28
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure they were thrilled.
51:30
Speaker 18: No, too bad.
51:31
Speaker 11: So you called up your uncle's office and you said, hello,
51:36
Speaker 11: and they.
51:36
Speaker 3: Went, oh, my God.
51:37
Speaker 18: Not at all. No, I am not from Long Island.
51:39
Speaker 3: No, I am.
51:40
Speaker 18: I am from Dyka Heights, Brooklyn. All right.
51:44
Speaker 12: Okay.
51:44
Speaker 18: So it's $ 100 if you file your state income tax single.
51:49
Speaker 15: Okay.
51:50
Speaker 18: And $ 200 if you file as a married couple. And
51:55
Speaker 18: then I also asked, I said, oh, is this also taxable?
51:58
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, tell them you're trans, then.
52:00
Speaker 8: It's $ 500.
52:03
Speaker 18: So that's what it is. And you will be federally
52:06
Speaker 18: taxed on it. So it's a scam. And I also said,
52:09
Speaker 18: why doesn't she do more debates on 2457? And there
52:14
Speaker 18: was no answer to that. So I just want you
52:16
Speaker 18: to know that's all these checks are. And it's our
52:19
Speaker 18: tax money that we're going to be taxed on again.
52:22
Speaker 3: You know, I always wonder what makes people call the
52:25
Speaker 3: senator's office or Kathy Hochul's office. It's like some junior
52:28
Speaker 3: staff intern you got on the phone. He doesn't have
52:30
Speaker 3: anything to do with anything. What do you think you'll accomplish.
52:32
Speaker 14: With that call?
52:33
Speaker 18: Well, this one was the Albany office.
52:36
Speaker 7: Yeah.
52:37
Speaker 3: She's not even in the Albany office. She works on
52:39
Speaker 3: 3rd Avenue. 41st and 3rd is where her real office is.
52:43
Speaker 18: Okay, so should I be frustrated? I contact all of
52:46
Speaker 18: my politicians. That's my legal right to do that and
52:49
Speaker 18: to let them know that.
52:50
Speaker 12: I want to be frustrated.
52:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, when you call the offices,
52:54
Speaker 3: what they do, they have a huge staff, and if
52:56
Speaker 3: you're the lowest on the totem pole, the brand-new junior intern,
53:00
Speaker 3: that's your job, taking these calls.
53:02
Speaker 18: Okay.
53:03
Speaker 3: All you're talking to is them. It never goes anywhere.
53:05
Speaker 18: But I did get the correct information.
53:07
Speaker 3: All right. Well, that's good. There you go.
53:10
Speaker 7: Okay.
53:10
Speaker 3: Thanks for calling. Yeah, if you call Schumer's office, you're
53:13
Speaker 3: going to get the most junior staffer, and you're going
53:16
Speaker 3: to tell him what you think. I'm just telling you,
53:20
Speaker 3: he doesn't run down the hall to Schumer and go, hey,
53:22
Speaker 3: I just got a call from a woman in Brooklyn.
53:24
Speaker 3: Here's what she thinks. It never goes anywhere. Now, if
53:27
Speaker 3: you were to call Schumer's office or somebody's office and say, Yes,
53:33
Speaker 3: I'd like to make a large donation. It's a whole
53:36
Speaker 3: different story. You're going to be a big donor? Hang on,
53:38
Speaker 3: hang on. He'll actually come on the phone and talk
53:42
Speaker 3: to you. Let's go to Michael in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Michael,
53:46
Speaker 3: how are you doing? Michael?
53:49
Speaker 14: Hi, how are you doing?
53:50
Speaker 3: Good.
53:51
Speaker 14: I have a comment, and my comment is this. I
53:56
Speaker 14: get the New York Post delivered to my house every day.
54:00
Speaker 3: The physical newspaper?
54:01
Speaker 14: I'm a delivery person. He delivered the New York Times
54:05
Speaker 14: to me.
54:05
Speaker 3: All right, wait a minute. You get the physical newspaper
54:08
Speaker 3: delivered to you?
54:10
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
54:10
Speaker 14: I'm still one of those old guys.
54:11
Speaker 3: All right, stop that. Stop that. That's news from 36
54:14
Speaker 3: hours ago. Go to the New York Post website, nypost.com.
54:19
Speaker 3: You'll get 10 times the news.
54:21
Speaker 14: I just like reading a physical paper.
54:22
Speaker 3: I know, but it's old news. The articles are not
54:25
Speaker 3: as big as they are on the website. The pictures aren't.
54:27
Speaker 14: Okay, but I got to tell you this, Mark. I
54:30
Speaker 14: never called you before. I used to listen to you
54:32
Speaker 14: on the weekends.
54:33
Speaker 12: Yeah.
54:33
Speaker 14: When you had that two-hour show on the weekends, I
54:36
Speaker 14: loved it. You always spoke about all the celebrities, and
54:39
Speaker 14: you always had interesting stories. But this is the thing
54:42
Speaker 14: I wanted to talk to you about, the New York Times,
54:44
Speaker 14: because I haven't read it in years. Like I said,
54:47
Speaker 14: the delivery guy delivered the wrong paper. I usually get
54:50
Speaker 14: the New York Post.
54:50
Speaker 3: Well, this is a fascinating story, but can we get
54:52
Speaker 3: to the point?
54:54
Speaker 14: Yeah, okay, this is the point. The first 10 pages
54:57
Speaker 14: of the New York Times, almost every article had an anti-Trump.
55:02
Speaker 3: Well, that's the point of the New York Times. It's
55:04
Speaker 3: an anti-Trump paper. It's not a newspaper anymore. It's just
55:08
Speaker 3: an anti-Trump thing.
55:09
Speaker 14: It's absolutely disgusting.
55:11
Speaker 3: Well, no, that's what their audience wants. It's all Trump haters,
55:14
Speaker 3: and that's their business model. Hate Trump, and they've got
55:17
Speaker 3: a whole audience of Trump haters. Don't get the physical
55:19
Speaker 3: newspaper anymore. Let's take the New York Post. I think
55:22
Speaker 3: the print circulation is like 75,000. The website subscribers, I think,
55:28
Speaker 3: is 4 million right now, so. You'll want to go
55:30
Speaker 3: to the website because the print newspaper, the news is
55:33
Speaker 3: from yesterday when they printed it. It's like one-fifth of
55:39
Speaker 3: what's on the website. The stories are shorter. They don't
55:41
Speaker 3: have as many pictures. It's much better. Just go to
55:44
Speaker 3: the New York Post website and get a subscription. You'll
55:47
Speaker 3: love it. Let's go to April in Astoria, Queens. April.
55:51
Speaker 5: Come on.
55:52
Speaker 16: Listen.
55:53
Speaker 12: Yes.
55:53
Speaker 3: Hi.
55:53
Speaker 19: Good morning.
55:54
Speaker 7: Yes.
55:55
Speaker 13: I want to know, I am really confused when I
55:57
Speaker 13: hear constantly on the radio, on the news, we will win.
56:02
Speaker 14: The Republicans will win. If people come out to vote,
56:05
Speaker 14: we will win.
56:06
Speaker 13: But I don't understand, why won't people vote?
56:09
Speaker 3: Well, that's common when it's not a presidential year that
56:13
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't bother.
56:14
Speaker 13: There's no But why won't they bother?
56:17
Speaker 3: Because you've got to go somewhere. You've got to wait
56:19
Speaker 3: in line. It's a pain in the neck.
56:21
Speaker 13: Yeah, but how old are Republicans? Are they all 85 years.
56:25
Speaker 3: Old in wheelchairs?
56:26
Speaker 14: No, no, no.
56:27
Speaker 3: What is it? They're all ages. You didn't know that
56:29
Speaker 3: people don't like to vote? You know, like only 5%
56:32
Speaker 3: of people vote nowadays. But anyway, April, thanks for calling. Hey,
56:35
Speaker 3: when we come back, this guy is like a legend
56:38
Speaker 3: in the broadcasting business, Dan Mason. He ran CBS Radio.
56:41
Speaker 3: He ran Odyssey. He's the guy that– Imus worked for
56:47
Speaker 3: him and Howard Stern. He's got a lot of great stories.
56:49
Speaker 3: He wrote a new book. We'll talk to him next
56:51
Speaker 3: on 710WOR.
56:54
Speaker 10: Marks them all.
56:55
Speaker 6: Mr.
56:56
Speaker 10: New York.
56:57
Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
57:03
Speaker 3: Well, hey, with us right now, this guy's a legend
57:06
Speaker 3: in the radio industry. You know, the two big giants
57:09
Speaker 3: of radio are iHeart. And then it would be CBS
57:13
Speaker 3: Radio that owns a million stations and the CBS Radio Network.
57:16
Speaker 3: It's now called Odyssey. But Bob Pittman, of course, the chairman,
57:20
Speaker 3: CEO of iHeart, but the president and CEO of CBS
57:24
Speaker 3: Radio for years, Dan Mason. And he just wrote a book.
57:28
Speaker 3: It's a great book. It's called Fearless, The Life and
57:32
Speaker 3: Times of a Media Maverick. Dan Mason, Fearless. I want
57:35
Speaker 3: you to go to Amazon and order it. Just go
57:38
Speaker 3: to Amazon, type in Dan Mason, Fearless. By the way,
57:41
Speaker 3: All the proceeds are for charity. They go to the
57:44
Speaker 3: Broadcasters Foundation of America, which does a lot of great
57:48
Speaker 3: humanitarian work. Dan Mason, how are you doing?
57:51
Speaker 15: Mark, it is a pleasure to be here. Thank you
57:54
Speaker 15: for inviting me.
57:55
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to talk to you because you're the
57:57
Speaker 3: big CEO, the big boss. I don't work for you.
58:00
Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about getting fired by you.
58:04
Speaker 15: Well, hopefully people would say fairly nice things, I hope,
58:07
Speaker 15: about me.
58:07
Speaker 3: No, they do. So you started... Like a lot of guys,
58:12
Speaker 3: you wanted to be on the radio, and then you
58:14
Speaker 3: became the overnight DJ, right? That's where we all start,
58:17
Speaker 3: doing the overnight show. And how were you as a DJ?
58:20
Speaker 7: Oh, I was okay.
58:22
Speaker 15: I was probably a C, but it was pretty obvious
58:25
Speaker 15: to me that I wasn't going to be someone like you.
58:30
Speaker 15: And I wanted to get in to be a general manager.
58:33
Speaker 15: So after I did that, I wanted to be in
58:36
Speaker 15: charge of the general managers. But it was a long
58:39
Speaker 15: road from... an overnight dish jockey to the CEO of
58:43
Speaker 15: CBS Radio. But especially, Mark, because I never sold a
58:48
Speaker 15: day of my life. I didn't come from sales. I
58:50
Speaker 15: came from programming. And it's a tougher road for programmers
58:54
Speaker 15: to become high up in management. But I did it
58:58
Speaker 15: because I think I had a talent. And before I
59:03
Speaker 15: tell you what it is, I think all of us,
59:05
Speaker 15: every one of us on this earth has a couple
59:07
Speaker 15: of really special talents. I don't think God did. them
59:10
Speaker 15: out in barrels. I think he gives you a few,
59:12
Speaker 15: and you've got to make the best of it. But
59:16
Speaker 15: I think the talent that I had was getting people
59:19
Speaker 15: to listen to the radio. And companies paid dearly for that.
59:24
Speaker 15: So I believe that's how I did it.
59:26
Speaker 12: Yeah.
59:26
Speaker 3: Now, you had the biggest people working for you. You
59:28
Speaker 3: had Imus. You had Howard Stern. You were the guy,
59:31
Speaker 3: I guess, when Imus got in all that trouble for
59:34
Speaker 3: some comments, you were the guy that had to decide
59:36
Speaker 3: what to do about it, right?
59:38
Speaker 15: Well, actually, in transparency, it was probably the CBS legal
59:44
Speaker 15: department that probably finally made that final call. But yes,
59:49
Speaker 15: I was part of it, and it was just very sad.
59:52
Speaker 15: I mean, I'm so happy that Don resurrected his career
59:56
Speaker 15: at WABC, but It was a very sad, dark day, Mark.
1:00:01
Speaker 15: And I'll never forget that. As a matter of fact,
1:00:05
Speaker 15: that was probably the darkest day I ever had at
1:00:07
Speaker 15: the company.
1:00:07
Speaker 7: Really?
1:00:08
Speaker 15: In all the years.
1:00:09
Speaker 3: Now, I know working with Imus, if you just said hello,
1:00:11
Speaker 3: he'd start yelling and screaming and cursing. So what was
1:00:14
Speaker 3: it like when you had to tell him, we've got
1:00:15
Speaker 3: to fire you? That must have been.
1:00:17
Speaker 15: You know, I remember, well, like I say, the legal
1:00:21
Speaker 15: department was the one that put all that together because
1:00:24
Speaker 15: they had to deal with Don's agent and a lot
1:00:27
Speaker 15: of the galleys to it. But They called me and said, listen,
1:00:30
Speaker 15: we're probably going to make this move on Tuesday or Monday, Tuesday,
1:00:33
Speaker 15: somewhere like that. But take the weekend and maybe give
1:00:36
Speaker 15: Don a call and kind of give him kind of
1:00:38
Speaker 15: a heads up that things aren't going to be good.
1:00:41
Speaker 15: And I did. And I found a quiet room like
1:00:44
Speaker 15: a Saturday morning. I called Don and we talked a bit.
1:00:47
Speaker 15: And he said, is there anything you think you can
1:00:50
Speaker 15: do for me? And I thought, Don, you know, I
1:00:53
Speaker 15: wish I could, but I don't see it. I don't
1:00:55
Speaker 15: see how it could happen. And it was just dead silence, Mark,
1:00:59
Speaker 15: for like 20 seconds or so. And he said, well, listen,
1:01:02
Speaker 15: thanks for everything. And I appreciate it. Hung up. And
1:01:06
Speaker 15: I found the nearest garbage can where I could throw up.
1:01:10
Speaker 15: I just felt awful. It was a whole awful situation
1:01:14
Speaker 15: from top to bottom. I mean, you know, but like
1:01:17
Speaker 15: I say, the good news is at least Don went
1:01:19
Speaker 15: on to have some good years at WABC.
1:01:21
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:01:22
Speaker 3: Hey, that's one thing I did notice about him is
1:01:24
Speaker 3: for all his yelling and screaming and cursing, in a
1:01:26
Speaker 3: moment like that, in the most crucial moment. He could
1:01:28
Speaker 3: be quite the gentleman, quite a business person.
1:01:31
Speaker 15: Yeah, and you know, he had a ton of remorse
1:01:36
Speaker 15: for what he said. He knew that he crossed the line.
1:01:38
Speaker 15: I mean, we all know where that line is, Mark,
1:01:41
Speaker 15: and you can't cross it. I mean, this is a
1:01:43
Speaker 15: public airwaves. You can't just say everything that comes to
1:01:47
Speaker 15: the top of your head. But he made a terrible
1:01:49
Speaker 15: mistake that I'm sure he wished he could have taken
1:01:51
Speaker 15: that 10 seconds back. You know, he did a lot
1:01:54
Speaker 15: of charity work. He did a lot of good things
1:01:56
Speaker 15: for a lot of people with the Imus Ranch.
1:01:58
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah. Hey, Dan Mason, you also had Howard Stern
1:02:01
Speaker 3: working for you. That must have been a roller coaster, too.
1:02:04
Speaker 15: Most of those stories are too dirty to tell on
1:02:07
Speaker 15: the radio. I'm sorry. You've got to read the book
1:02:09
Speaker 15: for that, Mark.
1:02:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, get the book. We can't say it on the air.
1:02:14
Speaker 3: But I guess Stern left when you were there, right?
1:02:16
Speaker 3: That's when he went to the satellite?
1:02:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, I.
1:02:20
Speaker 15: He had already gone, and then I came back. I
1:02:22
Speaker 15: did two stints at CBS, and he was at SiriusXM
1:02:27
Speaker 15: the second time, and that's where my story originates from.
1:02:32
Speaker 3: Well, you've got a lot of stories. Hey, tell us
1:02:34
Speaker 3: about Taylor Swift, your dealings with Taylor Swift.
1:02:37
Speaker 15: That was really interesting. I'd just come back to CBS.
1:02:41
Speaker 15: This was 2007, and a friend of, well, no, CBS
1:02:46
Speaker 15: corporate wanted me to, attend American Women in Radio and
1:02:49
Speaker 15: Television Dinner, which I was glad to do. I'd just
1:02:52
Speaker 15: been back a month. And my communications director said, listen,
1:02:57
Speaker 15: we're going to set you next to Taylor Swift tonight.
1:03:00
Speaker 15: And I thought, okay, that's fine. I mean, I didn't
1:03:02
Speaker 15: really know who Taylor Swift was at 2007. And she's
1:03:07
Speaker 15: probably like a 17-year-old girl then, and she comes and
1:03:10
Speaker 15: sits down next to me. And I'm thinking to myself, God,
1:03:13
Speaker 15: you need to be in high school, Taylor. Would you
1:03:15
Speaker 15: do your homework or anything? I mean, Why are you here?
1:03:18
Speaker 15: But she kept her head down most of the night,
1:03:21
Speaker 15: didn't say a lot, very unassuming, and had her mother
1:03:24
Speaker 15: next to her. So it was, actually, it was hard
1:03:27
Speaker 15: to talk to her because I didn't know what to say.
1:03:30
Speaker 15: So she got up and played a couple of songs
1:03:32
Speaker 15: and did her thing, did a great job, and that
1:03:34
Speaker 15: was the end of that. And lo and behold, I mean,
1:03:39
Speaker 15: I had two or three other experiences with her over
1:03:41
Speaker 15: the years, and You know, look at her now. But
1:03:44
Speaker 15: I will say that, you know, of all the artists
1:03:46
Speaker 15: that I've run into, all of them, there is nobody
1:03:49
Speaker 15: better and more appreciative of radio people than Taylor Swift.
1:03:54
Speaker 3: So at 17, she gets up and sings. Did you
1:03:56
Speaker 3: say to yourself, she could be the biggest star in music?
1:03:59
Speaker 15: No, absolutely not. I mean, she got a nice kind
1:04:02
Speaker 15: of golf clap from the audience, you know, but no.
1:04:07
Speaker 15: I mean, she was fine, but absolutely not. I think that.
1:04:13
Speaker 3: Hey, so Dan Mason, you're the chairman, the CEO of
1:04:15
Speaker 3: the biggest radio company for years, and TV viewership is
1:04:21
Speaker 3: way down, way down. But radio is pretty much holding
1:04:24
Speaker 3: its own. What do you think is the future of radio?
1:04:26
Speaker 15: Well, you know, they've been trying to kill off radio
1:04:28
Speaker 15: since it began in 1920. So, you know, when color
1:04:32
Speaker 15: TV came out in about 53 or 54 or something
1:04:36
Speaker 15: like that, finally the naysayers all said, well, radio is
1:04:39
Speaker 15: dead now. We've got television. And then, you know, you
1:04:43
Speaker 15: had satellite radio come along, and they said, well, now
1:04:45
Speaker 15: it's dead for sure. And no, it kept going. And
1:04:48
Speaker 15: now this Apple CarPlay and Android and everything else in
1:04:53
Speaker 15: the dash. But you know what? That AM and FM
1:04:55
Speaker 15: radio is still there.
1:04:56
Speaker 7: It's still there.
1:04:58
Speaker 15: And I don't see it going anywhere.
1:05:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:05:01
Speaker 3: Add podcasting to that, and you've got people spending more
1:05:04
Speaker 3: time listening to audio than watching TV most of the time.
1:05:07
Speaker 8: You know, it's interesting.
1:05:09
Speaker 15: That's a really good comment because radio is not necessarily
1:05:12
Speaker 15: about a dumb appliance. It's audio. It's companionship. If you
1:05:19
Speaker 15: look at a radio, it is a pretty dumb appliance
1:05:21
Speaker 15: sitting there on somebody's desktop. But they don't have a
1:05:24
Speaker 15: lot of those anymore. I think I'm down to one
1:05:26
Speaker 15: radio in my whole house. But it's all about audio.
1:05:30
Speaker 15: And then it's all about... Radio is about making friends.
1:05:32
Speaker 15: That's what it's about. And that's what you do at WOR.

Speaker 10: New York.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: Mark Simone on.
1:07:27
Speaker 14: WOR.
1:07:32
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm on the air. Sorry, out in the hallway.
1:07:40
Speaker 3: We have advertisers, clients, you know, nice. uh, the one
1:07:44
Speaker 3: I love is PC Richards, my favorite place. So PC Richards,
1:07:48
Speaker 3: people outside, it's great store. Do you know, we were
1:07:51
Speaker 3: just talking about this. Uh, there is such a thing
1:07:55
Speaker 3: as a washer dryer.
1:07:58
Speaker 14: Unit.
1:07:58
Speaker 3: I don't mean a dryer on top of the washing machine.
1:08:01
Speaker 3: I mean, it's all one thing. There's one unit that
1:08:04
Speaker 3: will do the wash and then it'll dry all in
1:08:07
Speaker 3: the same unit. They're, uh, selling these now. It's a great,
1:08:11
Speaker 3: great thing. So you throw in the, uh, the laundry,
1:08:15
Speaker 3: you set it to wash and dry. You can go
1:08:17
Speaker 3: away for two hours. You come back, it washes it.
1:08:19
Speaker 3: And then when it's done washing it, it dries it
1:08:21
Speaker 3: all in the same unit. PC Richards, perfect place to
1:08:25
Speaker 3: get it. But this is going to be the future.
1:08:27
Speaker 3: These are going to be all over the place pretty soon. Hey,
1:08:30
Speaker 3: that crazy Macklemore, you know, Ed Sheeran on tour. Why
1:08:34
Speaker 3: the hell? Ed Sheeran's the nicest, most neutral, nice guy
1:08:39
Speaker 3: in the world. What the hell would he have Macklemore on?
1:08:42
Speaker 3: who's nothing but trouble. If you're looking for trouble, make
1:08:46
Speaker 3: Macklemore your opening act. Uh, so they had to drop
1:08:50
Speaker 3: him from the tour. All hell broke loose. Everybody's mad
1:08:52
Speaker 3: at everybody. Certain radio stations banning Ed Sheeran, which is ridiculous.
1:09:00
Speaker 3: But Macklemore has just announced he's going on tour himself.
1:09:04
Speaker 3: He got so much attention for this. You know, he'd
1:09:06
Speaker 3: been much bigger years ago. Then his career kind of
1:09:09
Speaker 3: died down. But all this attention could bring him back
1:09:14
Speaker 3: an audience. But he's now announced his tour.
1:09:16
Speaker 4: Hmm.
1:09:18
Speaker 3: It's a free Palestine tour, a free Palestine music tour. Uh,
1:09:24
Speaker 3: dates have not been set yet. Uh, and, no announcement
1:09:28
Speaker 3: on who's going to be with him, but he says,
1:09:32
Speaker 3: this guy's a real blank, blank. He says, there's been
1:09:36
Speaker 3: a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation. Not really. It's just
1:09:42
Speaker 3: a bunch of anti-Semites who've risen up, uh, The power
1:09:45
Speaker 3: of billionaires that try to censor us. What we expect
1:09:50
Speaker 3: from artists right now is to stand up to this.
1:09:52
Speaker 3: It's 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work anymore. Well,
1:09:59
Speaker 3: you know, listen, Hamas launched the most disgusting Holocaust in
1:10:03
Speaker 3: modern times on October 7th. We didn't hear a peep
1:10:06
Speaker 3: out of you. Then a genocide in Africa against Christians.
1:10:10
Speaker 3: We didn't hear a peep out of you. Iran just
1:10:13
Speaker 3: slaughtered 40,000 citizens in the street, just killed them for protesting.
1:10:19
Speaker 3: We didn't hear anything from you. But when it's something
1:10:23
Speaker 3: that they can bring their anti-Semitism to, I don't know,
1:10:29
Speaker 3: I guess there's always been a little anti-Semitism in the world,
1:10:31
Speaker 3: but I don't know what this is with the left
1:10:35
Speaker 3: embracing this anti-Semitism. loving this anti-Semitism. And whoever thought he
1:10:43
Speaker 3: had ever lived to see a time where that kind
1:10:46
Speaker 3: of bigotry would be something you'd brag about if you
1:10:49
Speaker 3: were a candidate. We've got a mayor of New York
1:10:51
Speaker 3: who's an open anti-Semite who will out and out engage
1:10:54
Speaker 3: in hate speech. It's unbelievable. And it's going to take
1:11:00
Speaker 3: down the normal Democratic Party in the process. You know,
1:11:03
Speaker 3: the problem is when you start that Hate speech, anti-Semitism,
1:11:07
Speaker 3: when you start that kind of bigotry, it spreads. You know,
1:11:09
Speaker 3: right now it's anti-Israel, anti-Jews. Next thing you know, it'll
1:11:14
Speaker 3: be anti-Christians. It spreads. You got to stop it here.
1:11:18
Speaker 3: What's going to stamp it out? I don't know.
1:11:22
Speaker 7: I don't know.
1:11:23
Speaker 3: Common sense, decency at some point will stop it. You
1:11:27
Speaker 3: got to blame, really blame Democratic leaders like Schumer and
1:11:31
Speaker 3: Hakeem Jeffries. Schumer is the leader of the party. Hakeem
1:11:34
Speaker 3: Jeffries is the leader. Hochul's the leader in the state.
1:11:39
Speaker 3: You got to blame them. They're the ones that have
1:11:41
Speaker 3: to stop it. It's in their own party. It's taking
1:11:45
Speaker 3: place in their own world, and they've done nothing to
1:11:47
Speaker 3: stop it. Schumer. Remember all that anti-Semitism at Columbia and
1:11:52
Speaker 3: the Jewish students getting harassed, physically harassed? Remember all that?
1:11:56
Speaker 3: Schumer went and hid. Nobody heard from him during that period.
1:12:00
Speaker 3: Mamdani yelling his anti-Semitism, ginning it up. Never heard from Schumer.
1:12:04
Speaker 3: He's the leader of the Democratic Party. He's the highest
1:12:08
Speaker 3: ranking Jewish politician. Never heard from him on it. Disgusting,
1:12:13
Speaker 3: disgusting behavior from Chuck Schumer. So unfortunately, I'm looking now,
1:12:20
Speaker 3: the press ban at the White House has been totally lifted.
1:12:26
Speaker 3: Access to all the press has been restored. Yeah, that's
1:12:29
Speaker 3: too bad. It was fun keeping them out and it
1:12:32
Speaker 3: gave them something to talk about. You know, for all
1:12:36
Speaker 3: these MS Now and CNN types, all they do all
1:12:39
Speaker 3: day is tell you how much they hate Donald Trump,
1:12:43
Speaker 3: how repulsed they are by Donald Trump, burning hatred for
1:12:48
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. But then they're mad they can't be in
1:12:50
Speaker 3: the room with him. Generally, if I hate somebody, I
1:12:54
Speaker 3: don't stay in the same room with them. I don't
1:12:55
Speaker 3: want access to them. In fact, I can't get far
1:12:58
Speaker 3: enough away from them. So President Trump spending the day,
1:13:02
Speaker 3: the second day, he's spending the whole day with President
1:13:05
Speaker 3: Xi of China and Xi's wife, Madam Ping. Looks like
1:13:11
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. Look at her. Look at her
1:13:13
Speaker 3: on the screen. Look at these two. We hope they
1:13:18
Speaker 3: don't die, but if they were to die, it's easy
1:13:21
Speaker 3: on the funeral. I don't think you have to embalm them.
1:13:22
Speaker 3: Look at them. They already look like they're embalmed. But
1:13:25
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell they talk to them
1:13:27
Speaker 3: about all day. President once again wearing an overcoat. Wow. Yeah,
1:13:33
Speaker 3: it's definitely not. I was out last night. I saw
1:13:36
Speaker 3: a lot of overcoats everywhere. Summer ended fast. Netanyahu, great
1:13:41
Speaker 3: speech yesterday, concluded with a real warning for Iran. A
1:13:45
Speaker 3: real warning for Iran that it's over for them. The
1:13:49
Speaker 3: leadership of Iran, the citizens, everybody else will rise up
1:13:54
Speaker 3: and take over. Hey, those people that walked out. I'm
1:13:57
Speaker 3: playing it every hour. Let me play this clip. As
1:13:59
Speaker 3: soon as Netanyahu got up to speak, he hadn't said
1:14:03
Speaker 3: a word yet. Just as he stood at the podium,
1:14:06
Speaker 3: half the delegates walked out. I'm looking at the list here.
1:14:09
Speaker 3: Who walked out? Uh, it was a representative for Iran, Qatar,
1:14:14
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, Palestinian authority, and others, other countries. They cleared out.
1:14:20
Speaker 3: They literally, he hadn't said a word yet. As soon
1:14:25
Speaker 3: as he got up, they walked out. But, uh, You know,
1:14:28
Speaker 3: he pointed out all these things that it was Israel
1:14:31
Speaker 3: that supplied two million tons of food into Gaza. He
1:14:36
Speaker 3: ran down the list of the great things Israel has done,
1:14:39
Speaker 3: but they walked out. Netanyahu responded perfectly.
1:14:41
Speaker 12: Mr.
1:14:41
Speaker 6: President, before I begin, just a quick announcement. If there
1:14:50
Speaker 6: are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall,
1:14:54
Speaker 6: please do so now.
1:14:56
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.
1:15:01
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:15:02
Speaker 3: So that's a great leader and an orator. If you
1:15:04
Speaker 3: have not done so, please do so. See, now if
1:15:06
Speaker 3: it was Trump, he'd say, for those of you who haven't,
1:15:08
Speaker 3: get the blank out. Right in the UN General Assembly.
1:15:13
Speaker 3: I know you're not supposed to do that, but he's
1:15:16
Speaker 3: half a Howard Stern president. And that's the way he
1:15:19
Speaker 3: does things. Now, speaking of this anti-Semitism, our crazy, nutty
1:15:24
Speaker 3: Mayor Mamdani, Mr. Anti-Semite, and his allies are holding a
1:15:28
Speaker 3: big New York City fundraiser for the Michigan anti-Semite Abdul Al-Sayed.
1:15:36
Speaker 3: The bash will take place on the Bowery on October
1:15:40
Speaker 3: 5th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Co-hosts include the
1:15:46
Speaker 3: jeweler Alex Bittar, former REM frontman Michael Stipe, and Democrat
1:15:54
Speaker 3: Brad Lander. These are all the anti-Semites. They're all coming
1:15:57
Speaker 3: to this. Congressman Jamal Bowman. Brooklyn Councilman Shi Asi. Contributors
1:16:04
Speaker 3: can donate up to $ 57, 000 to the Abdul Michigan Victory Fund.
1:16:12
Speaker 3: It's $ 57, 000. You can donate to the anti-Semitic fund here. Now,
1:16:17
Speaker 3: I guess there might be some Democrats who are pushing
1:16:19
Speaker 3: for for this Abdul Syed, just because it's a crucial
1:16:23
Speaker 3: seat for the Democrats to take control of the Senate.
1:16:27
Speaker 3: Michigan is key to that. They've got to win Michigan
1:16:30
Speaker 3: to take control of the Senate. So there might be
1:16:32
Speaker 3: some Democrats who are jumping in because of that, but
1:16:36
Speaker 3: I don't care what the reason is. You can't support anti-Semites.
1:16:39
Speaker 3: There's no excuse for that. You remember that story about
1:16:43
Speaker 3: Thomas Jefferson? He slept with the slaves. In fact, there
1:16:46
Speaker 3: was one slave, Sally Hemings. Not only did he sleep
1:16:49
Speaker 3: with her, He fathered a child with her. This has
1:16:52
Speaker 3: been the rumor for years and years and years. Historians
1:16:56
Speaker 3: have felt that this is what happened. Well, it's been
1:17:01
Speaker 3: absolutely confirmed now. In one of the books, Jefferson had
1:17:07
Speaker 3: books he would write in journals, diaries. Apparently, in one
1:17:11
Speaker 3: of the books, some of Jefferson's hair was found between
1:17:14
Speaker 3: the pages. And they had Jefferson's hair, which even though
1:17:18
Speaker 3: it's hundreds of years old, you can still DNA test.
1:17:21
Speaker 3: So they DNA tested it. And it proves he did
1:17:25
Speaker 3: have children with the slave Sally Hemings. And it's, of course,
1:17:32
Speaker 3: years later, but we've absolutely confirmed it now. Unfortunately, they're
1:17:38
Speaker 3: all long gone. If she were around today, Sally Hemings
1:17:40
Speaker 3: would be, she'd be on Rachel Maddow Monday night, exclusive interview.
1:17:44
Speaker 3: She'd be on CNN. The New York Times would be
1:17:48
Speaker 3: interviewing her. So, hey, McDonald's, I don't know if this
1:17:54
Speaker 3: is smart. McDonald's, how big is McDonald's? It's as big
1:17:58
Speaker 3: as it can be. But they're worried about Starbucks, and
1:18:03
Speaker 3: they're worried about Chipotle. So McDonald's is adding things to
1:18:07
Speaker 3: the menu to take on Starbucks and Chipotle. First of all,
1:18:11
Speaker 3: does anybody like the food at Starbucks? You do? No,
1:18:17
Speaker 3: it's not that good. It's not... Cheese and fruit doesn't count.
1:18:24
Speaker 3: They just cut that up. They don't make that. They
1:18:27
Speaker 3: go buy some cheese and they put it and they
1:18:30
Speaker 3: throw some fruit in. That's not... I don't mean... I'm
1:18:32
Speaker 3: talking about the things they make. It's not... You know what's...
1:18:35
Speaker 3: You know what's funny? Dunkin' Donuts, they... Dunkin' Donuts, their
1:18:41
Speaker 3: coffee is better than Starbucks. But Starbucks, the donuts are
1:18:46
Speaker 3: probably better than Dunkin' Donuts. It doesn't make any sense.
1:18:48
Speaker 10: But.
1:18:49
Speaker 3: they're really worried about Starbucks for some reason. So, you know,
1:18:52
Speaker 3: the one thing they have at Starbucks is those little
1:18:54
Speaker 3: egg bites in the morning. McDonald's has the greatest breakfast
1:18:58
Speaker 3: on earth, the Egg McMuffin. But apparently this is one
1:19:02
Speaker 3: of the reasons for this. Ozempic is so big. Those
1:19:06
Speaker 3: GLP-1 shots are so big. 30 million Americans are on
1:19:11
Speaker 3: that stuff. And when you're on those Ozempic things, you
1:19:14
Speaker 3: can't eat much. You can only eat a little. So
1:19:16
Speaker 3: apparently Starbucks is doing very well with a little egg
1:19:20
Speaker 3: bite because it's like two bites. So if you're on Ozempic,
1:19:23
Speaker 3: it's a perfect breakfast because you can't eat the egg muffin.
1:19:26
Speaker 3: You can eat two bites and you got to throw
1:19:27
Speaker 3: away the whole thing. So McDonald's is going to make
1:19:30
Speaker 3: an egg bite just like Starbucks. All right. Okay. This
1:19:35
Speaker 3: one I could see. But they also want to take
1:19:38
Speaker 3: on Chipotle. And Chipotle's got the best, the burrito bowl
1:19:44
Speaker 3: is phenomenal. Apparently, Chipotle's considered very healthy fast food, healthier
1:19:51
Speaker 3: than McDonald's. And it's becoming bigger than ever, Chipotle. So
1:19:55
Speaker 3: they're going to make their own something, burrito bowl. They
1:20:00
Speaker 3: haven't said exactly what.
1:20:02
Speaker 11: But.
1:20:03
Speaker 3: When you go to McDonald's, do you think Mexicans, Spanish,
1:20:07
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. You may be in
1:20:12
Speaker 3: a tricky area there, McDonald's. They're also going to add
1:20:15
Speaker 3: a classic grilled chicken sandwich. All right, that's taken on Chick-fil-A.
1:20:22
Speaker 3: Chick-fil-A is phenomenal. Also, they're going to make wraps for
1:20:26
Speaker 3: another on-the-go protein-packed item. You know, a lot of places,
1:20:30
Speaker 3: those salad places, Chopped and all the rest, That's their
1:20:33
Speaker 3: big thing, selling those wraps. And that kind of stuff,
1:20:36
Speaker 3: it's considered healthier than McDonald's. So that's one reason McDonald's
1:20:40
Speaker 3: getting into it. So they'll have healthier items. But it's
1:20:43
Speaker 3: also trying to compete with all the fast food chains
1:20:46
Speaker 3: that have risen up and become very big. But in
1:20:51
Speaker 3: the business world, that's sometimes the most dangerous thing you
1:20:54
Speaker 3: can do is try to be somebody else. Smartest thing
1:20:57
Speaker 3: you can do is just do what you do best.
1:21:00
Speaker 3: And remember... when Steve, you know, Apple was a mess
1:21:07
Speaker 3: when Steve Jobs came back. Apple wasn't doing well. And
1:21:11
Speaker 3: he noticed the problem was they sold 85 different products.
1:21:16
Speaker 3: And the first thing he said when he came in there,
1:21:17
Speaker 3: just do what we do best. Let's get rid of
1:21:20
Speaker 3: 81 of these products. We'll just sell four things. We'll
1:21:23
Speaker 3: just sell a computer, a phone. The same thing with McDonald's.
1:21:28
Speaker 3: Just figure out what you do best and just do
1:21:30
Speaker 3: that better than... Anybody else? So let's see. The press
1:21:36
Speaker 3: is back. The White House ban is over. The press
1:21:39
Speaker 3: is back. Oh, you're supposed to get all excited because
1:21:43
Speaker 3: today is the 25th of September. And I don't know
1:21:47
Speaker 3: even what this means. They're saying it's 9 to 5 day.
1:21:50
Speaker 3: 9 to 5 day. So I guess the song 9
1:21:55
Speaker 3: to 5. If you're getting excited about this, you really
1:21:59
Speaker 3: need to reexamine your life. This is not that exciting.
1:22:03
Speaker 3: First of all, it's not 9-2-5 day. It's 9-2-5-2-6 day.
1:22:08
Speaker 3: And I don't remember any song called 9-2-5-2-6. We'll take
1:22:12
Speaker 3: some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
1:22:14
Speaker 13: 800-321-0710.
1:22:14
Speaker 3: Mark Simone.
1:22:15
Speaker 8: Mr.

Speaker 3: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR. Hey,
1:22:34
Speaker 3: let's take some calls. Let's go to Bob in Florida. Bob,
1:22:38
Speaker 3: how you doing?
1:22:39
Speaker 8: Hello, Mark. Thank you for doing what you do.
1:22:42
Speaker 16: You know, it's being widely not reported that the judge's
1:22:46
Speaker 16: order to return those propaganda organizations to the White House
1:22:51
Speaker 16: is a temporary restraining order.
1:22:53
Speaker 8: You can't find that in the news anywhere.
1:22:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can. That's how you know that. No, I
1:22:59
Speaker 3: got enough of X.
1:23:02
Speaker 7: You tell me which.
1:23:03
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. It's been said.
1:23:05
Speaker 8: You tell me your source.
1:23:06
Speaker 3: Well, that's a new source. Anyway, it's a 14-day restraining order.
1:23:11
Speaker 3: What that actually means, whatever they presented on that day
1:23:14
Speaker 3: in court, the judge felt they had enough of a
1:23:17
Speaker 3: case that it needed to be heard. So there's a
1:23:20
Speaker 3: 14-day restraining order until the next court date where they
1:23:23
Speaker 3: can really lay out their case. They have some kind
1:23:26
Speaker 3: of a case. They're going to try First Amendment. It's
1:23:29
Speaker 3: not really a First Amendment issue because they're not being silenced.
1:23:32
Speaker 3: They can go on the air and say whatever they want.
1:23:35
Speaker 3: It's about access to certain rooms in the White House.
1:23:39
Speaker 3: Let's go to Ed in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Ed, how are
1:23:42
Speaker 3: you doing?
1:23:44
Speaker 19: Hey, good morning, Mark. Thanks for taking my call.
1:23:46
Speaker 14: I hope you're well.
1:23:47
Speaker 19: Back to the Jeffersons. I was thinking back in 78, 79,
1:23:52
Speaker 19: I took a job from Jefferson Tank Management. And every
1:23:55
Speaker 19: year they made a big hullabaloo about, I don't know
1:23:57
Speaker 19: if it was Jefferson's birthday, down to Richard's on the
1:23:59
Speaker 19: 4th of July. but the African-American descendants of Jefferson West Day,
1:24:04
Speaker 19: the parade in Charlottesville. And I know the big stink
1:24:08
Speaker 19: of that.
1:24:09
Speaker 3: Ed, your phone is cracking up twice again. It's not you.
1:24:12
Speaker 3: It's the phone line. Let's go to Jerry Greenwich, Connecticut. Jerry,
1:24:16
Speaker 3: how are you doing?
1:24:17
Speaker 5: Very well. Thank you, Mark. Thank you for taking my call.
1:24:20
Speaker 3: Great show.
1:24:21
Speaker 5: Mark, there is three people that they killed. The men, Goldberg,
1:24:27
Speaker 5: the four guys, the woman that killed his kid, three kids,
1:24:32
Speaker 5: and Mangione that killed this guy, they're still around. They
1:24:36
Speaker 5: should have been put in electric, and they're still around,
1:24:39
Speaker 5: and they're wasting a lot of money from the taxpayer money.
1:24:43
Speaker 5: Why do they do that? I don't know.
1:24:46
Speaker 3: I know. You're living in a crazy era where criminals
1:24:49
Speaker 3: are let loose, the victims get locked up, the Kathy Hochulman.
1:24:53
Speaker 5: And that Goldberg that is trying to get free.
1:24:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's Kathy Hochul, Cuomo, no bail, no jail. It's
1:24:59
Speaker 3: insane kind of stuff. Harvey Weinstein is the only guy
1:25:04
Speaker 3: I have put in jail by Alvin Bragg. And Bragg
1:25:06
Speaker 3: bragging about it with the press conference. He's so proud.
1:25:09
Speaker 3: He put the criminals in jail, too. Let's go to
1:25:13
Speaker 3: Richard in Bayshore. Richard, how are you doing?
1:25:18
Speaker 19: Sally Hemings in Jefferson.
1:25:19
Speaker 20: I want to tell you a little bit more.
1:25:22
Speaker 14: Yep.
1:25:23
Speaker 3: Call us back. See, it's the bottom two lines. I
1:25:25
Speaker 3: don't know what it is. Those bottom two lines, everybody
1:25:28
Speaker 3: gets distorted. It's not you. It's our phone lines. Let's
1:25:32
Speaker 3: go to Bill in Cranford. Bill, how are you doing?
1:25:35
Speaker 12: Hey, Mark.
1:25:36
Speaker 20: Blakeman, the only criticism they seem to have about Blakeman
1:25:41
Speaker 20: for governor is the fact that he's got a good
1:25:43
Speaker 20: relationship with Trump. But then as governor of New York,
1:25:47
Speaker 20: to have a good relationship with the president of the
1:25:49
Speaker 20: United States, it's not exactly a bad thing.
1:25:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually, you're right. That's a good response. Blakeman should
1:25:55
Speaker 3: run ads saying she's got no relationship with Trump. Trump
1:25:57
Speaker 3: loves me. I can get money for New York. I
1:26:00
Speaker 3: can get all sorts of federal help for New York
1:26:02
Speaker 3: whenever I need it. That's a good thing. You should
1:26:03
Speaker 3: bring that up a lot. Yeah, he should respond to
1:26:07
Speaker 3: those ads. She's got no relationship with Trump. Can't get
1:26:11
Speaker 3: anything for us. I can get the federal money, grants, aid,
1:26:15
Speaker 3: everything we need. Good idea. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
1:26:20
Speaker 3: how you doing?
1:26:21
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. When I heard yesterday
1:26:24
Speaker 7: that this crony judge lifted the ban, the press ban
1:26:28
Speaker 7: on the fake news organizations, I told my girlfriend, I says...
1:26:33
Speaker 7: Trump should just give them access to the broom closet
1:26:37
Speaker 7: in the hallway in the White House. Mark, how could
1:26:40
Speaker 7: you forget? Look on the calendar. Today's not only 9-2-5.
1:26:44
Speaker 7: Today's Native American Day. It says it right on my calendar.
1:26:52
Speaker 7: It's Native American Day.
1:26:53
Speaker 3: What is Native American Day?
1:26:55
Speaker 9: Right.
1:26:55
Speaker 7: Mark, speaking of campaign contributions... A number of years ago,
1:27:03
Speaker 7: in fact, I got the bee of my bonnet from
1:27:07
Speaker 7: listening to your show. I called up a congressperson's, I'm
1:27:12
Speaker 7: not going to mention their name, office that I had
1:27:15
Speaker 7: a beef with. And when I called, I got some
1:27:18
Speaker 7: secretary at first, and I said... Well, I want to
1:27:21
Speaker 7: make a significant contribution.
1:27:24
Speaker 3: Ah, see, that's the way to do it.
1:27:25
Speaker 7: So, and then when I got the person in charge
1:27:29
Speaker 7: of the money, then I let them know what was
1:27:33
Speaker 7: all about the conversation. And none of it could be
1:27:37
Speaker 7: traced because I used a burner phone. And before I
1:27:40
Speaker 7: hung up, I said, by the way, two of my
1:27:43
Speaker 7: friends right now are sitting in their car, not very
1:27:46
Speaker 7: far from your office.
1:27:50
Speaker 3: Vincent, you can't do that kind of stuff.
1:27:51
Speaker 7: Well, I did it, Mark.
1:27:54
Speaker 3: You're not supposed to do that.
1:27:57
Speaker 7: Excuse me?
1:27:58
Speaker 3: That's like when Fido showed up to see Tony Soprano
1:28:00
Speaker 3: after hiding. He goes, my brother's over there watching. What
1:28:03
Speaker 3: does that mean?
1:28:05
Speaker 7: In the Sopranos when Tony Soprano's daughter's in the restaurant
1:28:11
Speaker 7: and some other guy from one of the other.
1:28:13
Speaker 3: Gangs said something.
1:28:16
Speaker 7: Disgusting to her. She goes home and she's talking to
1:28:21
Speaker 7: Tony's wife and Tony sees that she's sad and everything
1:28:25
Speaker 7: and then the daughter tells Tony Soprano what happened, and
1:28:30
Speaker 7: Tony goes in the room. Well, you know the rest
1:28:32
Speaker 7: of the story.
1:28:33
Speaker 3: He beats the guy to a pulp. He knocks his
1:28:35
Speaker 3: teeth out. It's awful.
1:28:36
Speaker 10: He puts his teeth.
1:28:37
Speaker 3: But, Vincent, in real life, you're not supposed to do that.
1:28:40
Speaker 7: Really?
1:28:41
Speaker 3: Oh, look who I'm talking to. Look who I'm talking to. Well,
1:28:46
Speaker 3: you know, you shouldn't do that. Maybe just a strongly
1:28:50
Speaker 3: worded letter.
1:28:51
Speaker 7: Well, what?
1:28:52
Speaker 3: Look who I'm talking to. Anyway, we got to a point.
1:28:57
Speaker 3: All right. Vincent, try to behave. All right. Thanks.
1:29:01
Speaker 7: I will. I'll try.
1:29:02
Speaker 3: Stay out of trouble.
1:29:03
Speaker 16: All right.
1:29:03
Speaker 7: Best I can, Mark.
1:29:04
Speaker 3: All right. Thanks for calling. Well, when we come back, oh,
1:29:10
Speaker 3: Jackie the Joke Man, Jackie Martling. You know, Rodney, remember Dangerfields?

1:30:14
Speaker 12: Well, I'd say I was doing great, except I think
1:30:16
Speaker 12: today might have been my last swim.
1:30:18
Speaker 7: It's a little.
1:30:19
Speaker 12: Rough out there. It's a little crazy. I think we've
1:30:22
Speaker 12: got a Nor'easter coming, and I think I've got to
1:30:24
Speaker 12: say goodbye to the summer, which... You know how much
1:30:27
Speaker 12: that bothers me.
1:30:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, he lives right on the beach. That's Long Island Sound.
1:30:32
Speaker 3: It's not too cold in there?
1:30:33
Speaker 12: No, it's still beautiful. I just hope the sound doesn't
1:30:36
Speaker 12: come to visit my living room.
1:30:37
Speaker 3: That's all.
1:30:39
Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
1:30:40
Speaker 3: Long Island's supposed to get the worst of it tomorrow.
1:30:42
Speaker 12: Yeah, but it's been beautiful. It's been so nice out here.
1:30:45
Speaker 12: And I love Indian summer. You know, it's just fantastic.
1:30:49
Speaker 12: The water stays warm. You keep swimming, keep having fun,
1:30:52
Speaker 12: you know.
1:30:53
Speaker 3: Are we allowed to say Indian summer anymore? Is it
1:30:55
Speaker 3: indigenous summer or– You know what?
1:30:58
Speaker 12: I don't know. I always thought it was a really
1:31:00
Speaker 12: complimentary thing, but so many things I think, you know,
1:31:03
Speaker 12: I always thought having a football team named after.
1:31:06
Speaker 7: You was complimentary, but.
1:31:07
Speaker 12: What do I know?
1:31:09
Speaker 3: Hey, you're going to be at Rodney's. That used to
1:31:11
Speaker 3: be Dangerfields. You and I, everybody, we used to spend
1:31:15
Speaker 3: a lot of time in Dangerfields.
1:31:18
Speaker 12: Mark, it's exactly the same. The stage is the same.
1:31:22
Speaker 12: It's in the same place. The small round tables with
1:31:26
Speaker 12: all jammed in, it's just like walking into a time warp.
1:31:30
Speaker 12: The only difference is Rodney isn't there and Big Fat
1:31:33
Speaker 12: Bobby isn't at the door.
1:31:34
Speaker 3: Bobby Campbell, the maitre d', all he would ever say
1:31:37
Speaker 3: to anybody, how many are you? How many are you?
1:31:42
Speaker 12: It was a great fun. I worked there a couple
1:31:45
Speaker 12: months ago, and it was just fantastic. You know, the
1:31:48
Speaker 12: people love it, and it just feels like you're back
1:31:51
Speaker 12: 40 years.
1:31:53
Speaker 7: It's just a trip, a great trip.
1:31:55
Speaker 3: Dangerfield's with the best comedy club, Tony Bavacqua, the owner,
1:31:58
Speaker 3: and right in the middle of a crowded room, Rodney
1:32:01
Speaker 3: would walk into the room in his bathrobe. Do you
1:32:03
Speaker 3: remember that?
1:32:04
Speaker 12: Oh, God. I have nickel for every time I saw
1:32:07
Speaker 12: him in the bathrobe. Not only in his bathrobe, but
1:32:10
Speaker 12: what was under it. You know. but it was great
1:32:15
Speaker 12: fun you know and I got my friend Rich Harkaway
1:32:17
Speaker 12: opening for me tomorrow night and he's he brought a
1:32:20
Speaker 12: lot of people in last time so I'm expecting a
1:32:22
Speaker 12: really fun time I know it's supposed to be bad
1:32:24
Speaker 12: weather but let's hope we beat it that's all yeah.
1:32:26
Speaker 3: It's tomorrow night at Rodney's where Dangerfield used to be
1:32:29
Speaker 3: hey remember in the old Dangerfield days there were these
1:32:31
Speaker 3: unknown comics there that all became huge stars.
1:32:34
Speaker 12: It was you know you never knew who you know
1:32:37
Speaker 12: one person could go into oblivion and the next day
1:32:40
Speaker 12: the next person goes on Johnny Carson and uh It
1:32:44
Speaker 12: was like a lottery. Nobody knew anything. Nobody knew what
1:32:47
Speaker 12: was going to happen, you know.
1:32:48
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Howard Stern's down to one day a week.
1:32:54
Speaker 3: Of course, you were a big part of that show
1:32:56
Speaker 3: for years. What do you think he'll do the rest?
1:32:58
Speaker 3: What does he do the rest of the week?
1:33:01
Speaker 12: I don't know, but it looks like he's working as
1:33:02
Speaker 12: little as I am. I don't know. You know, good
1:33:08
Speaker 12: luck to him. Whatever happens is fine by me, you know.
1:33:11
Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, he's got, Jackie wrote a great book.

Speaker 3: that right on Amazon or someplace?
1:33:18
Speaker 12: Yeah, it actually sells every time. It's really funny. Every
1:33:22
Speaker 12: time Howard does anything and any kind of hiccup at all,
1:33:26
Speaker 12: all of a sudden sales of my book go up
1:33:28
Speaker 12: because so many people didn't even know it was available.
1:33:30
Speaker 12: So then when they start searching, all of a sudden

Speaker 12: and she smells like garlic all the time? He says,
1:35:59
Speaker 12: of course not.
1:35:59
Speaker 15: He says.
1:36:01
Speaker 12: Then why you fool around with my wife?

Speaker 3: Well, you're coughing a lot. Hey, Jackie Martling, have you
1:36:08
Speaker 3: been to the new Carnegie Deli since it opened?
1:36:11
Speaker 12: I have not, and I'm so upset because I know
1:36:14
Speaker 12: Sheba Mason did a whole opening thing, and I wrote
1:36:16
Speaker 12: to her and said, why didn't you have me over there?
1:36:18
Speaker 12: You know, they used to have six different 8x10s of me,
1:36:22
Speaker 12: like from every different walk of life over the decades.
1:36:26
Speaker 12: And you know that they named... You know, they named
1:36:30
Speaker 12: a sandwich after Henny Youngman. They named a sandwich after everybody.
1:36:33
Speaker 12: And I used to say to the lady, was it Sandy?
1:36:36
Speaker 12: Was that the woman or the guy?
1:36:38
Speaker 3: The guy, the terrible guy. He's gone.
1:36:40
Speaker 12: And I said to his wife, I said, you know,
1:36:42
Speaker 12: everybody's got a sandwich named after them. Why won't you
1:36:45
Speaker 12: name a sandwich after me? And she kept ignoring me.
1:36:48
Speaker 12: And finally I went up to her and I said,
1:36:50
Speaker 12: all right, here you go. How about this? Jackie Martling's
1:36:54
Speaker 12: What Am I, Chopped Liver? And she said it's very funny,

Speaker 3: They saved all the pictures. They're back up on the walls.
1:37:16
Speaker 3: I think I saw your picture up there, too. It's
1:37:18
Speaker 3: one of the pictures.
1:37:18
Speaker 4: Oh, now that.
1:37:20
Speaker 12: You know, I'm a very shallow man, and you just
1:37:22
Speaker 12: made my day. Oh, okay. All right, so a drunk...
1:37:28
Speaker 12: A drunk stumbles into a confessional. The priest hears a grunt,
1:37:31
Speaker 12: but then the priest doesn't hear anything, so he bangs.
1:37:33
Speaker 7: On the wall.
1:37:35
Speaker 12: The drunk says, Forget it, buddy. There's no paper in
1:37:38
Speaker 12: this one either. All right, so the doctor says, My friend...
1:37:49
Speaker 12: You have an incurable disease. There's nothing I can do.
1:37:53
Speaker 12: The guy says, come on, doc. You got any advice
1:37:56
Speaker 12: for me at all? The doctor says, take three mud
1:38:00
Speaker 12: baths every day. The guy says, will that prolong my life?
1:38:04
Speaker 12: He says, no. but it'll get you used to the dirt.
1:38:10
Speaker 12: That's a little dark, but it's fun.
1:38:13
Speaker 3: No, that's a good joke. I don't know.
1:38:18
Speaker 12: What is the deal with sex nowadays?
1:38:21
Speaker 3: You're asking me? I don't know.
1:38:23
Speaker 12: Times have changed. Nowadays, girls, they don't want to cuddle.
1:38:28
Speaker 12: They just want to get paid and get out of
1:38:30
Speaker 12: the car. That's a little bad.
1:38:37
Speaker 7: No, that's good.
1:38:38
Speaker 15: So fun.
1:38:40
Speaker 3: Oh, he actually stopped. Hey, if I have to speak
1:38:43
Speaker 3: somewhere and I got three or four jokes I want
1:38:45
Speaker 3: to open with, I got to write them down. I
1:38:47
Speaker 3: got to sneak a look. I can't remember. How the
1:38:50
Speaker 3: hell do you remember an hour of a million jokes?
1:38:53
Speaker 12: Well, because that's what I do. That's all I do.
1:38:57
Speaker 12: You know, you do what you do. I do what
1:38:59
Speaker 12: I do. You know, when a doctor's operating on somebody,
1:39:02
Speaker 12: he doesn't have a textbook there saying, well, now take
1:39:04
Speaker 12: out this and now take out, you know. If you
1:39:07
Speaker 12: saw a doctor take out a textbook, you'd get up
1:39:10
Speaker 12: and run out of the room, right?
1:39:11
Speaker 3: That's a good point. Well, you do it every night
1:39:14
Speaker 3: of your life.
1:39:15
Speaker 12: Here's a question. I got a question for you. Your
1:39:19
Speaker 12: wife is barking at the front door and your dog
1:39:22
Speaker 12: is barking at the back door. Which one do you
1:39:25
Speaker 12: let in? You let in the dog because he stops
1:39:31
Speaker 12: barking after you let him.
1:39:36
Speaker 3: In.
1:39:37
Speaker 12: As a single man, you can laugh at that.
1:39:39
Speaker 3: That's true. We're just about out of time, but I
1:39:41
Speaker 3: just want to remind you. Jackie Martling, tomorrow night he's
1:39:45
Speaker 3: appearing at Rodney's. That's the place that used to be Dangerfields, right?

1:40:37
Speaker 12: So a guy says, Doc, I'm having trouble with my
1:40:40
Speaker 12: love life. The doctor exams him and says, Well, it
1:40:43
Speaker 12: seems you're having some problems because you need some work
1:40:45
Speaker 12: done to bring back your sex drive. I can do
1:40:48
Speaker 12: a series of operations that will take 30 days and
1:40:51
Speaker 12: cost $ 12, 000. Or I can do one operation and you'll
1:40:55
Speaker 12: be good to go the next day, but that's $ 30, 000.
1:40:57
Speaker 12: Why don't you go home and discuss it with your wife?
1:41:01
Speaker 12: So the next day the guy comes back to the
1:41:02
Speaker 12: doctor and the doctor says, What did you decide? He says,
