  Speaker 1: The mark simone show on wor hey welcome to hour
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: number three oh my god that's right hour number three
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it's nine to noon every day nine to noon every
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: day so uh bruce blakeman will be with us later
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: this hour i think he's got an excellent shot i
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna do it you know last republican governor
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: was george pataki blakeman kind of uh similar to pataki
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in many ways just a You know, not a big
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: partisan sort of a guy, just a very common sense guy.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Real common sense, good leadership. Very likable guy with no
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: baggage at all. You know, the Democrats in Hochul, they
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: have been investigating Blakeman around the clock. I mean, they've
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: been doing opposition research on him. And guess what they found? Nothing.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Not a damn thing. That's why they're trying to do
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: attack ads on him. The only thing that can attack
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: him on is friends with Donald Trump. That's the attack.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They couldn't find anything to get this guy on. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: give Blakeman credit. He could go after Hochul for a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: lot of things. That very shady stadium deal. He could
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: go after her for that very sleazy contract she handed
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: out for the virus testing. She took it away from
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the normal company that does it and gave it to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a big donor company that had no experience in testing,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and it raised the price for everybody. But there's a lot,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a lot that he could have done. But he's a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: very gracious guy, wants to win on the issues. You know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: they keep trying to convince everybody. It's a couple of things. One,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the polls are as fake and as rigged as ever.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That Quinnipiac poll that came out last week, ridiculous if
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you look in the metrics, preposterous. They had the sample
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was 80% Democrats, 80% Democrats in the sample. It was ridiculous.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: They didn't use voter rolls. It was crazy. So you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: see that all the time with these media polls, these
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: college polls. The idea is to call them suppression polls.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: They're to convince you the Republican has no chance. Don't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: even go to vote. Don't just stay home. Now, this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is not the case. It's neck and neck right now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The race is all about turnout. So if you turn out,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Republicans turn out, they'll win. If Democrats turn out, they'll win.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And again, early voting all this week. It's real easy.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Just go vote this week. Early voting means no line.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Easy to do. Breeze right through. Pick whatever day you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: want this week. Whatever's convenient. As I said, we'll talk
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to Blakeman later this hour. Zelensky says he has agreed.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Russia's agreed. There will be trilateral talks. In November, it
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: sounds very impressive, trilateral talks. It means three people are talking.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So if you're talking to your friend about something and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: somebody else comes over and joins the conversation, now you're
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in trilateral talks. It sounds very impressive. It just means three. Zelensky,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he looks very difficult to deal with, doesn't he? I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: if you went to meet your landlord and it was Zelensky,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you go, oh, my God. It's going to be trouble.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But Zelensky has agreed he will be in these talks.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Grateful at the moments when we really feel this, then
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to be grateful.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He just sounds like, I mean, would
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you really trust this guy?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Except that the territory which is temporarily bonded will be
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Russian territory.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We can't do it. I don't know. If you were
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: getting your car fixed and this guy came up, you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know you need this replaced and you need to replace it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Would you really trust him? I don't know. President Trump
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: going to a different state every day. He'll be in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: seven states in the next week. Eight states, actually. There's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: eight days till the election. Trump out on the campaign
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: trail going after Elon Omar.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: You know what that is? That's a legal answer. The
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: lawyers said answer it that way.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Here's what he's talking about. So did she marry her brother? Well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: she went on MSNBC and they asked her directly, did
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you marry? Listen to the answer. Who was this man
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that was your husband? When did they start saying that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he was your brother?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You were not related to him at all.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Not to my knowledge.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: See, now normally if somebody said, did you marry your brother?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You'd say, no, what are you talking about? But she said,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not to my knowledge. Very bizarre. So this is President Trump.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You know what that is? That's a legal answer. The
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: lawyers answer it that way. If they ask you that question, say,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to the best of my knowledge, and then give any
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: answer you want, When she says that, that was the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: end of that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Pretty crazy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I am assuming that we must immediately, she has to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: resign from Congress.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of evidence. Looks like they'll get her.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I was saddened to hear that Ilhan Omar is not
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: her name, but because Ilhan... Used a fake name to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: be sworn in. I assume that she must immediately resign
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: from Congress.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so she's lawyered up with some heavyweight D.C. lawyers,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and she will try to fight this. But who knows?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Who knows? If they start piling up a lot of evidence,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: who knows? She might just leave the country. You never know.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: She's one flight risk you'd be happy about.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Let her leave. Let her go. uh iran they say
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is in the advanced stages of planning attacks against americans
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: not here not here in the mid-east jay clayton director
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of national intelligence said agencies received intelligence that iran is
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: increasing efforts to target u.s personnel that we'd be talking
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: about in qatar saudi arabia in the middle east and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: uh oh they say potential targets in europe and u.s
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: but They also believe Iran does not have the capability
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to carry out anything in the U.S. right now. But
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we are telling our personnel in embassies, other places to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get out of there in the Middle East to leave.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You know, with the gas prices, all that, it raised
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the price of airline tickets. But we're hearing from within
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the airline industry that this spike in ticket prices is
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not going to go away. Fuel prices will drop dramatically
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: once they settle things in Iran, which will probably be
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: two weeks from now after the election. But once they
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: do that, gas prices will plunge. They'll drop in half
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: just like that. But people in the airline industry saying
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the ticket prices will not come down. They'll keep them
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: where they are. They're making excuses already. The chief of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: United Airlines said, He's saying it's very expensive for us
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to operate. It's not just the gas. Everything else is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: costing a fortune. He says, I think the tide has
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to rise for everyone flying on airlines. Well, he's saying
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they're going to keep the prices up there. Airlines are 22%
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: more expensive than a year earlier. Round trip for Thanksgiving
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is going to be up 39%. But it's not about
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the oil. They're saying they have to do this because
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they're paying more for everything. Landing fees are more. Airport
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: rents are more. They've jumped up. Airlines are paying employees
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: more than ever because the employees got labor contracts that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: were well-negotiated. Pilots are getting more. Flight attendants are getting more.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So they're saying they're going to keep the prices up
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: where they are. So don't let anybody tell you it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: fuel prices with the airlines. Here's the saddest story of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the week. This is a very pathetic, sad story. Who's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the anchor of the CBS Evening News? Nobody knows. If
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I said, who had the anchorman of the CBS Evening
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: News back in the 70s? Walter Cronkite. Who was the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: anchor of the CBS Evening News in the 90s? Dan Rather.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You say now, go stop people in the street. Who's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the anchor of the CBS Evening News? Nobody knows. It's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Tony DeCouple. DeCouple? DeCouple. I don't even know how to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: pronounce the guy's name. Do you imagine... You ever think
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you see a day where you can be the anchor
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of the CBS Evening News, nobody's ever heard of you,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and nobody knows how to say your name? Tony DiCoppo,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he looks like David Muir. I guess that's why they
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: hired him. David Muir is the ABC Evening News. He
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: is very successful. That's the most watched show on television
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in many weeks. So Tony DiCoppo, the CBS Evening News,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is always in last place, gets wiped out by ABC
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and NBC. So what are they doing about it? Well,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: listen to this. This is pretty exciting news. Tony DeCouple
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is now launching his new podcast. Well, there's a novel idea. Gee,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I never heard anybody having a podcast. What an idea.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: A podcast. He'll be joining literally 2.5 million other people
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that now do a podcast. The podcast will be called
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The Great Question with Tony DeCouple. It'll be twice per week,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Mondays and Wednesdays. Listen to this. This is pretty exciting.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: DeCouple will focus on one great question. Looking to journalists
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: or experts to help answer it. Who comes up with
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this stuff? First of all, it's a podcast, which means
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it's probably an hour, 40 minutes. It's one question. Who
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the hell would... You're doing a podcast. You better have
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: 50 questions in an hour. One question for the whole hour?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: With Tony DeCouple. You think the guy's boring reading the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: teleprompter for a minute and a half on CBS Evening News?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Watch him try to fill an hour with that personality.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: This is going to be pathetic. First guest is the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: author Malcolm Gladwell. Well, he's pretty good. I like him
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a lot. He'll be good. DeCouple hopes it'll give viewers
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a little slice of who he is. Outside of the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: evening news. Well, I've met the guy a few times.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to see who he is. He's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a very nice, extremely dull guy. He's the dullest guy
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in the world. So this is what everybody thinks. Well,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: if I did a podcast, well, that would help. Every author,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I don't mean real authors. I mean somebody with a
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: self-published fake book. Every author. I'll do a podcast to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: promote the book. Nobody's reading your book. Who's going to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: watch your podcast, huh? But this is what they do.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You can't stop and you can't explain it to them.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: How many people do you think watch network television every week?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It's 25 million. That's it. It used to be like
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: 150 million. Now it's 25 million. Network TV. How many
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: people do you think read newspapers in America? 22 million.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's it. How many people do you think listen to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the radio every week? 159 million. AM talk radio? 63 million.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: All right, now here's the one you probably don't know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: How many people do you think go to Broadway shows
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: in a year? How many people attend Broadway shows every year?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: 14 and a half million. That's not bad. That's not bad.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: 14 and a half million. You remember, you know, we're
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: talking about Broadway theaters. They only have, you know, a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: thousand seats. That's it. So, hey, also Bruce Blakeman will
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: be with us in a little bit. Now, of course,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you're going to vote for him for governor. But when
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you go to the polls and do the early voting,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: don't forget about this attorney general's race. That's very important.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You can get rid of Letitia James. Next week, you
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: can get rid of her. There's a Republican candidate for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: attorney general, brilliant woman, very good. Nobody can remember her name.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It's Sarita Kamateredi or something like that. But if you've
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: watched the debate, she was great. Very, very impressive woman.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So make sure you vote for her in the early voting. And,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of course, vote for Bruce Blakeman. Do it this week.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a big weekend. So this weekend,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you got Halloween, Saturday night. Then later Saturday night, we
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: go off daylight saving time. You'll get an extra hour
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of sleep Saturday night. But then it's going to be
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: dark out at 5 o'clock every day. Soon 4.30pm. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: then Sunday, you got the New York City Marathon. That's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: all this week. Now, Halloween, Saturday night, what is the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: number one most popular Halloween candy? It's Reese's. Reese's Peanut
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Butter Cups, which kind of just came along late in
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the game. You know, Hershey candy bars are 100 and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: something years old. Reese's is a relatively new invention. But
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: now the number one Halloween candy in America. They say
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: candy sales this year are below what they normally are.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know why that would be. It could be
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of, well, it's more expensive this year. There's
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: chocolate prices have gone up and all of that. But
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it could be, you know, in today's world, when you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: were a kid, that's all you do is eat candy
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: all day. When you were a kid, it was, you know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Milk Duds and Milky Way and Mounds and M & M' s.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's all you ate. But in today's world, kids aren't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: allowed to have that stuff much. Kids today, they make
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: them eat sunflower seeds and almonds and healthy stuff. Can
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you imagine when you were a kid, haven't eat that? So, uh,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it could be that, uh, fewer and fewer parents want
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: actual candy given out on Halloween. Hey, don't forget to
