0:06
Speaker 2: simone on seven tenor.
0:11
Speaker 3: Hey it's Friday, that's a good news. It's October. It's
0:14
Speaker 3: okay news. Yankees win, they'll begin tomorrow the playoffs. That's
0:18
Speaker 3: great news. We'll get to the shutdown. We'll get to
0:21
Speaker 3: the Yankees. We'll get to Andrew Cuomo, even Democrats making
0:25
Speaker 3: fun of his latest ad. We'll get to Mom Donnie
0:28
Speaker 3: and his words. They're calling him word salad, they're more
0:31
Speaker 3: like word jumbles. And we'll get to cracker barrel. And
0:34
Speaker 3: we'll get to President Trump, some interesting developments, what he
0:39
Speaker 3: may be up to next. Let's see, I mean yeah, okay,
0:45
Speaker 3: Sean Diddy Combs is about to be sentenced. No, nothing yet.
0:51
Speaker 3: The sentence hearing is taking place now. He's going to
0:55
Speaker 3: get sentenced at some point this morning. Prosecutors want eleven years.
1:01
Speaker 3: He wants time served, which is fourteen months. If you
1:05
Speaker 3: ask those criminal lawyers that do these cases all the time,
1:08
Speaker 3: they're betting four years five years will be the sentence.
1:11
Speaker 3: Diddy wrote a long letter to the judge, begging for mercy, apologizing,
1:17
Speaker 3: saying he's sorry a thousand different ways. So we'll bring
1:20
Speaker 3: you that news. Apparently nothing is happening yet. It'll be
1:24
Speaker 3: a while before they get a sentence. Now, apparently it
1:30
Speaker 3: was worse than a Taylor Swift line of the concert line.
1:33
Speaker 3: There were people camping out for two days to get
1:36
Speaker 3: into this courtroom for the Sean Ditty sentencing. You know,
1:39
Speaker 3: they got those professional placeholders. You can pay them to
1:42
Speaker 3: wait in line for you to camp out on the sidewalk.
1:45
Speaker 3: Although it's not like the old camping out on the
1:47
Speaker 3: sidewalk with a sleeping bag. This is. They bring tents,
1:50
Speaker 3: they got you know, chargers for the phones, they've got TV,
1:54
Speaker 3: they got everything there, they got smartphones, they got everything
1:58
Speaker 3: going on. So it'll happen at some point this morning.
2:02
Speaker 3: So here's real quickly the shutdown. Here's the problem. They's
2:05
Speaker 3: supposed to be a vote today at eleven am. It's
2:08
Speaker 3: expected that the vote will not succeed to end the shutdown,
2:13
Speaker 3: and it'll go through the weekend and there'll be a
2:15
Speaker 3: vote on Monday. They're hoping Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday
2:18
Speaker 3: they'll get it settled. Now here's the shutdown situation. If
2:25
Speaker 3: you're watching the crazy left wing networks, if you're watching
2:28
Speaker 3: MSNBC or CNN, you'll see Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer
2:33
Speaker 3: on television, and all they keep telling you is everybody
2:35
Speaker 3: is going to die this shut every people are going
2:37
Speaker 3: to die. People are going to drop dead. The planes
2:40
Speaker 3: are going to fallow this sky. This is the biggest
2:41
Speaker 3: crisis ever. And now they're going on vacation for a
2:46
Speaker 3: couple of days. So everybody's going to die. But it's Friday,
2:50
Speaker 3: we gotta leave. Sorry, they're going They're all going away
2:52
Speaker 3: for the weekend. They're taking the weekend off. In a
2:56
Speaker 3: minor crisis, you'd probably work on Saturday, wouldn't you major crisis,
3:00
Speaker 3: you'd work Saturday and Sunday. But everybody's gonna die, and
3:04
Speaker 3: they're going away for the weekend. And many of these
3:06
Speaker 3: Democrats are going down to Sea Island for some sort
3:08
Speaker 3: of democratic conference, and they're getting criticized because it's a
3:14
Speaker 3: very plush, lush, expensive five star resort, an oligarch type
3:19
Speaker 3: of place. That's where the Democrats are holding this conference.
3:22
Speaker 3: So if you're lucky, they'll come back. If they have time,
3:25
Speaker 3: they might come back on Monday and continue the shutdown. Problem.
3:29
Speaker 3: Part of the problem is you got two people leading
3:32
Speaker 3: the Democrats, Schumer and Jeffreys, Hakeem Jeffries. These are the
3:37
Speaker 3: two worst spokespeople you could have if you want, And
3:40
Speaker 3: the most important thing in a situation like this is
3:42
Speaker 3: your messaging. You couldn't have worse messaging. Schumer is an old,
3:46
Speaker 3: dried up, old dinosaur fossil from one hundred years ago.
3:50
Speaker 3: Everybody just, you know, cringes when they look at this guy.
3:54
Speaker 3: Jeffries is a younger guy, but he's a total stiff,
3:58
Speaker 3: and he talks in the He's so pious and ridiculous.
4:02
Speaker 4: We'd assume, on myself, having gotten a single phone call
4:07
Speaker 4: as it relates to a follow up conversation, we're ready
4:12
Speaker 4: to have that conversation, but we need credible partners on
4:16
Speaker 4: the other side of the owl.
4:19
Speaker 3: Well, see that's a little change in tone. Yesterday was
4:21
Speaker 3: everybody's gonna die and they won't budge, and he should
4:26
Speaker 3: get one of those phones that can make outgoing calls.
4:28
Speaker 3: That way, you don't just sit there and wait for
4:29
Speaker 3: the calls, and said, the problem is nobody knows what
4:32
Speaker 3: the hell these guys are talking about. We love Mike
4:34
Speaker 3: Johnson doing a great chep, but they don't speak English.
4:37
Speaker 5: He said passionately, as recently as March of this year,
4:40
Speaker 5: on the same instrument, the same ZR.
4:42
Speaker 3: That it would be rap. But he knows what the
4:44
Speaker 3: hell you're talking about with your instrument, your clean CR.
4:47
Speaker 3: Now there's a continuing resolution, and there's a clean CR.
4:49
Speaker 3: Now when you're watching television and you hear about this
4:52
Speaker 3: clean the CR and it's a clean the resolution, nobody
4:56
Speaker 3: knows what you're saying. Speak English, nobody knows what the
4:59
Speaker 3: hell you're talking about. So we'll see what happens at
5:02
Speaker 3: eleven am. Don't expect much. It'll probably go through the weekend.
5:04
Speaker 3: But here's the problem. You got Schumer and Jeffreys, the
5:08
Speaker 3: two worst messengers you could have. They're just disasters on TV.
5:12
Speaker 3: They don't communicate at all. Other problems they're both from Brooklyn,
5:15
Speaker 3: New York, which means all they hear from a left wing,
5:18
Speaker 3: crazy left wing. The other problem is they haven't gone home.
5:23
Speaker 3: None of these congress people have been home. We're meeting
5:26
Speaker 3: the constituents. All they're hearing from is union special interests
5:30
Speaker 3: and all these special interests yelling him, ot cave don't
5:32
Speaker 3: cave in, don't cave in. You need to hear from
5:35
Speaker 3: the constituents, showing you that the line at the airport's
5:38
Speaker 3: longer than ever because TSA had lay off some people,
5:42
Speaker 3: or they're not picking up the crash or something. They're
5:44
Speaker 3: not hearing from constituents anyway. Well, that's all there is
5:48
Speaker 3: to know about the continuing resolution clean c are. Hey,
5:54
Speaker 3: the Yankees big win last night. They start the playoffs
5:58
Speaker 3: Toronto tomorrow, for that's great news. Andrew Cuomo getting a
6:06
Speaker 3: lot of flak over this TV ad and me he
6:08
Speaker 3: told you about this yesterday. He finally started running a
6:11
Speaker 3: TV commercial. Nobody knows if he's really campaigning or there's
6:13
Speaker 3: an actual campaign. He still has not opened a campaign headquarters.
6:18
Speaker 3: He doesn't do much. He'll do in one or two interviews,
6:21
Speaker 3: but basically it's always a fluff you know, look, you know,
6:24
Speaker 3: totally rigged interview, like ERL Lewis on New York One.
6:27
Speaker 3: He always make sure it's somebody will never give him
6:29
Speaker 3: a hard time or bring up anything bad. But he
6:32
Speaker 3: finally put out a campaign ad. It looks very expensive.
6:37
Speaker 3: It's not because it turns out it's all AI. But
6:39
Speaker 3: the ad, as we described yesterday, shows him doing trying
6:45
Speaker 3: to do different jobs he goes, but I'm not very
6:48
Speaker 3: good at That shows him trying to be a trained
6:50
Speaker 3: engineer and not he can't do it. Then it shows
6:52
Speaker 3: him trying to be a window washer. He's up on
6:54
Speaker 3: a scaffolding, up on a skyscraper. He can't do it.
6:57
Speaker 3: And all these different jobs it looks if it really
7:00
Speaker 3: looks good. It's all done by AI. And then he says,
7:04
Speaker 3: but the only thing I can't do any of these gentlemen,
7:06
Speaker 3: I'm not good at it. The only thing I can
7:08
Speaker 3: do is run a government. So this was the ad.
7:11
Speaker 3: I'm watching the left wing shows last night. They're all
7:14
Speaker 3: attacking him, even Colbert ridiculing him, saying why would you
7:18
Speaker 3: run an ad saying you stink at everything, you don't
7:20
Speaker 3: know how to do anything, You're not competent to do anything.
7:23
Speaker 3: And also a lot of the left wing people pointing
7:27
Speaker 3: out what he's really saying is what we all kind
7:29
Speaker 3: of knew. And the problem with him. I can't go
7:33
Speaker 3: back into the world. I can't go back into the
7:35
Speaker 3: private sector. Nobody will hire me. I can't do a
7:37
Speaker 3: damn thing. The reason I'm back running again, even though
7:40
Speaker 3: I quit in disgrace, is I don't fit in anywhere
7:43
Speaker 3: else in the world. I think this is this the ad.
7:45
Speaker 3: I'm Andrew Cuomo, and I could pretend to do.
7:48
Speaker 1: A lot of jobs.
7:50
Speaker 5: But I know what I know, and I know what
7:52
Speaker 5: I don't know, and I do know how to make
7:55
Speaker 5: government work. I'll hire five thousand new cops, the partner
7:59
Speaker 5: with low community groups and keep our family safe, and
8:03
Speaker 5: we'll get the homeless off the streets and into the
8:06
Speaker 5: help they desperately need. There are a lot of jobs
8:10
Speaker 5: I can't do, but I'm ready to be your mayor
8:14
Speaker 5: on day one.
8:16
Speaker 3: Okay, but you know I'll hire five dozen new cops.
8:19
Speaker 3: He's the guy that just when he was governor, he
8:21
Speaker 3: got rid of cops. He defunded cops, he cut down
8:23
Speaker 3: on the cops. He closed the prisons and let the
8:25
Speaker 3: prisoners out. He passed he passed that no bail, no jail,
8:29
Speaker 3: let all the criminals loose. He took away qualified immunity
8:32
Speaker 3: from the cops, he took away overtime, and he was
8:35
Speaker 3: just horrible with cops. So that's the ad. You know,
8:39
Speaker 3: they keep saying, if mom Donnie wins, people are gonna
8:41
Speaker 3: leave New York. People are gonna move out. This is
8:43
Speaker 3: the big thing if Donnie wins, you won't believe how
8:46
Speaker 3: many people leave and move well. Cuomo holds the record
8:49
Speaker 3: for causing more people to leave and move out of
8:51
Speaker 3: New York while he was governor, especially the pandemic the
8:54
Speaker 3: way he bungled it up. More people fled New York
8:57
Speaker 3: under Cuomo than any other any other petition. In fact,
9:01
Speaker 3: so many people moved out of New York millions that
9:06
Speaker 3: we lost four congressional seats under his watch. Because so
9:09
Speaker 3: many we lost so much population, we lost four congressional seats.
9:13
Speaker 3: There was a period of a year and a half
9:15
Speaker 3: where you could not get a moving van under Cuoma.
9:18
Speaker 3: There were so many people leaving, there was a shortage
9:20
Speaker 3: of moving vans, and there was like a year wait
9:23
Speaker 3: to get one. Curtis has been running ads. Here's a
9:26
Speaker 3: Curtis Leeway adds.
9:27
Speaker 6: You can hear a woman screaming rapes in broad daylight,
9:30
Speaker 6: attacks on the subway.
9:32
Speaker 5: Why Cormon, We're gonna aid the cash bail system once
9:35
Speaker 5: and for.
9:35
Speaker 6: All worst sov On Mo'm done. He wants to go
9:38
Speaker 6: even further with them in charge. You are not safe.
9:43
Speaker 3: We deserve better. I'm Curtish Slim, I'm asking for you,
9:47
Speaker 3: O for mam.
9:48
Speaker 7: Together, we'll build back a shafe more affordable lead.
9:54
Speaker 3: It's not a bad ad and is a part of
9:56
Speaker 3: the addy as the beret part of the eddie doesn't
9:58
Speaker 3: have the bret. A lot of people there's to stop
10:00
Speaker 3: wearing the braid. Stop worrying about the hat. That's not
10:03
Speaker 3: a factor. It's not an issue in a camp. It
10:05
Speaker 3: means absolutely nothing to anybody. Nobody's voting based on a hat.
10:10
Speaker 3: Also bear in mind, is Jimmy Fayle to point it out.
10:13
Speaker 3: A guy just got elected president wearing a red hat.
10:16
Speaker 3: You can do it now. This race will come down
10:18
Speaker 3: to a couple of things. Biggest thing will be the
10:20
Speaker 3: debate October sixteenth. That could turn the race around. Cuomo
10:24
Speaker 3: could get wiped out there. He's a bad debater. He
10:26
Speaker 3: looks awful in debates. Mam Donnie's good. Curtis is great.
10:30
Speaker 3: They could wipe out Cuomo in the debate. But the
10:32
Speaker 3: debate could be a turning point in the race. But
10:35
Speaker 3: here's the main factor. This race will be about turnout.
10:39
Speaker 3: If there's big turnout, Mam Donnie probably won't win. If
10:43
Speaker 3: there is that turnout that we've had the last few years,
10:45
Speaker 3: you know, twenty percent, twenty two percent turnout. That's how
10:49
Speaker 3: de Blasio got in. There was just no turnout. The
10:52
Speaker 3: only people that showed up were the crazy young radicals.
10:55
Speaker 3: If it's twenty percent turnout, yeah it favors Mam Donnie.
11:00
Speaker 3: But if we go back to the old days with
11:02
Speaker 3: eighty percent turnout, that's how we You know, Republicans won
11:05
Speaker 3: five of the last mayoral races, five of the last eight,
11:08
Speaker 3: and that's how Giuliani won. All of a sudden, people
11:10
Speaker 3: are fed up, and there was and the polls didn't
11:12
Speaker 3: show it happening, but there was all of a sudden,
11:14
Speaker 3: big turnout, So a big turnout, and Mom, Donnie loses.
11:19
Speaker 3: Now he's being very cautious now and asking when he's
11:22
Speaker 3: doing interviews, people are calling these word salads. What Kamala
11:26
Speaker 3: does is a word salad. And she was so silly
11:29
Speaker 3: and dumb and stupid and inarticulate that she just gives
11:33
Speaker 3: a word solid an answer. Mom Donnie is very shrewd
11:36
Speaker 3: and smart, so it sounds like a word salut. But
11:38
Speaker 3: he's doing it deliberately. He's very carefully talking a lot
11:43
Speaker 3: without saying anything. So if you listen to his answers,
11:45
Speaker 3: you don't know what the hell he's saying.
11:47
Speaker 8: I think New Yorkers deserved leadership that is looking to
11:50
Speaker 8: be thoughtful as opposed to leadership that is just trying
11:54
Speaker 8: to engage in the discourse of our politics. And I
11:57
Speaker 8: think that it's part of what I'm trying to bring
12:01
Speaker 8: to our politics is a reflection of what I see
12:03
Speaker 8: in New Yorkers as opposed to what I see in
12:05
Speaker 8: the people who passed for our leaders Yeah.
12:07
Speaker 3: See, it sounds good, but he's deliberately not saying any
12:10
Speaker 3: Nobody knows what the helly just said that we don't want.
12:14
Speaker 3: It's not about being thoughtful, it's about engaging with reflection.
12:18
Speaker 3: It's a little thoughtful, not too thoughtful, more engagement than thoughtful.
12:22
Speaker 3: Nobody knows what he means or what he's saying. So well,
12:27
Speaker 3: we'll get back to the Meryl racing a little while now. Hey,
12:30
Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel fired the marketing company. You know, I was
12:35
Speaker 3: talking about this yesterday. These marketing companies are really bad,
12:38
Speaker 3: some of these marketing companies. There's some good ones, but
12:40
Speaker 3: there's some really bad ones. And the biggest corporations hire
12:44
Speaker 3: these marketing companies and there to do the rebrand and
12:49
Speaker 3: to you know, redesign new love and some of them
12:51
Speaker 3: are disasters. And the one that Cracker Barrel hired was
12:55
Speaker 3: a total disaster. It's a company called Profit total disaster.
13:00
Speaker 3: They came up with the new menu, the new decorps
13:03
Speaker 3: for the restaurants, the new logo, the new this, the
13:05
Speaker 3: new that. It was a complete disaster. It was all
13:10
Speaker 3: so awful. Cracker Barrel lost one hundred and forty million
13:14
Speaker 3: dollars in value. One hundred and forty million in value. Now,
13:20
Speaker 3: I don't know what took them so long, but they
13:21
Speaker 3: finally fired this company. The company's going and this is
13:25
Speaker 3: also the company put in the DEI hiring, the this,
13:27
Speaker 3: the that, all of that stuff. Hey, oh, Donald Trump
13:32
Speaker 3: apparently when he was up here for the Ryder Cup
13:35
Speaker 3: met with some high ranking not CBS, but the parent company.
13:39
Speaker 3: Negotiations are taking place for Donald Trump to possibly do
13:45
Speaker 3: a sixty minutes interview. Now sixty minutes is the most awful,
13:50
Speaker 3: corrupt show, totally slanted biased, not just the questions the
13:55
Speaker 3: way they run the interview, but they'll actually doctor up
13:58
Speaker 3: the video to slant things, to mislead. They'll doctor up
14:02
Speaker 3: the interviews in the video that got caught doing it
14:04
Speaker 3: with Kamala Harris. It was so obvious they were trying
14:07
Speaker 3: to interfere with the election. They doctored up her video
14:11
Speaker 3: so much that they ended up having to pay a
14:13
Speaker 3: settlement of about thirty million to Donald Trump. That's how
14:17
Speaker 3: bad it was. So negotiations are taking place for Trump
14:20
Speaker 3: to do an interview with sixty minutes. I don't know
14:23
Speaker 3: why he's even bothering. Nobody watches it anymore. It's not
14:25
Speaker 3: that big an audience. It doesn't mean much, but Trump
14:29
Speaker 3: negotiating for certain things. The video or the interview will
14:32
Speaker 3: have to run absolutely unedited, no edits at all allowed.
14:37
Speaker 3: He's agreed to Bill Whittaker to do it, and knowing him,
14:42
Speaker 3: he's very smart, he'll figure out what night he wants
14:45
Speaker 3: it on. Sixty minutes doesn't have a lot of viewers anymore.
14:47
Speaker 3: Used to be the number one show in television, used
14:49
Speaker 3: to get sixty million people. Gets nothing now. But the
14:53
Speaker 3: only times it gets any ratings if it's on after
14:55
Speaker 3: a big, huge game. So if it's a really important
14:58
Speaker 3: football game or The Master or something like that, when
15:00
Speaker 3: it ends, it goes right to sixteen minutes. So Trump
15:03
Speaker 3: will pick one of those nights. So, hey, we got
15:06
Speaker 3: a lot coming up, and we'll take some calls. Next.
15:08
Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
15:12
Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
15:16
Speaker 2: Now back to Mark Simone on woor.
15:20
Speaker 3: Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
15:23
Speaker 3: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Kathy North, Carolina. Kathy,
15:27
Speaker 3: how you doing?
15:29
Speaker 9: Hey, Mark, it's good to talk to you, it's good
15:31
Speaker 9: to hear you. I have a random question. I know
15:34
Speaker 9: you're not a financial guru, but of course your friend
15:37
Speaker 9: Larry Cudlow is, so maybe he can answer this someday.
15:40
Speaker 9: All that money that Doge saved billions and billions, where
15:44
Speaker 9: does that show up?
15:45
Speaker 2: Like?
15:45
Speaker 9: Where is it being pocketed? Is it in the It
15:48
Speaker 9: doesn't seem to be in the budget. The budget would
15:50
Speaker 9: have been missing several billion dollars because we didn't have
15:53
Speaker 9: to pay out to that. So I just I remember
15:56
Speaker 9: talking about it and hearing about it. But where does
15:58
Speaker 9: it physically show up?
16:00
Speaker 3: It doesn't show up. It's just the actual budget drops.
16:03
Speaker 3: Spending drops a little. Now. The problem is you got Congress,
16:06
Speaker 3: and Republicans are just as bad as Democrats. Whenever there's
16:09
Speaker 3: money they start spending it again. That's the problem. You
16:12
Speaker 3: can keep cutting the spending, but Democrats and Republicans in
16:15
Speaker 3: Congress keep bringing it back.
16:18
Speaker 9: But you're telling me that if we didn't if we
16:21
Speaker 9: didn't do dose, then this outrageous budget would be that
16:25
Speaker 9: many more billion more.
16:26
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes.
16:29
Speaker 9: So you are a financial guru.
16:31
Speaker 3: No, it's a simple common sense. If you get rid
16:32
Speaker 3: of seven hundred thousand people, your pay roll is less money. Obviously,
16:37
Speaker 3: I know, but I know it's North Carolina. But this
16:40
Speaker 3: is not hard to figure it out. Now, what's going
16:42
Speaker 3: on down there in North Carolina.
16:45
Speaker 9: It's beautiful today. Fall is coming. I'm not my favorite season.
16:49
Speaker 9: I really love summer, but it's here. It's quite nice.
16:53
Speaker 9: And we have that big we have a big governor's
16:56
Speaker 9: race going on. I guess, or no, I guess the
16:58
Speaker 9: governor is running for the Senate seat. So we're going
17:02
Speaker 9: to look for that. I'm going to try schuck you
17:05
Speaker 9: out with that.
17:05
Speaker 3: Say hello to Barney Fife and OPI and everybody down there, and.
17:09
Speaker 7: Hey, hey, hey, we love North Carolina.
17:13
Speaker 3: It's a great place. Thanks for calling. Let's go to
17:15
Speaker 3: Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you.
17:17
Speaker 9: Doing good morning, Mark.
17:19
Speaker 10: I'm doing very well, Thank you.
17:21
Speaker 9: Mark.
17:21
Speaker 1: I know in the recent passed we were all told
17:24
Speaker 1: not to use TikTok because it came from China and.
17:27
Speaker 10: It stole all of our personal information. My question is
17:31
Speaker 10: what's the latest.
17:32
Speaker 7: Status, because I know President Trump does have a TikTok account.
17:37
Speaker 3: Yeah you can. Well, you know he's got so many phones.
17:39
Speaker 3: You can have one on a phone that is not
17:42
Speaker 3: on his phone. But it'll get safer and safer. I
17:45
Speaker 3: get to wait till it's completely turned over to the
17:48
Speaker 3: new Board of Directors. So instead of the communist Chinese
17:52
Speaker 3: having all your data, Larry Ellenson will have it. It'll
17:54
Speaker 3: be Oracle and some other people running it. But should
17:57
Speaker 3: be safer. It should be safe. Hey, nowadays all these
17:59
Speaker 3: apps steal everything. You just don't want to go into
18:01
Speaker 3: the communist Chinese government. Who knows what they're up to there.
18:04
Speaker 3: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
18:07
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. That's Mike.
18:10
Speaker 1: He's listening to the ads you played from the candidates.
18:12
Speaker 1: Don't you find it funny that in this day and age,
18:14
Speaker 1: the ads haven't changed much. It's still I'll be ready
18:17
Speaker 1: on day one they'll have one eventually with the guy
18:20
Speaker 1: sitting in the diner. It's like there's a million people
18:23
Speaker 1: online who have like clever memes and you know, have
18:26
Speaker 1: unique takes on things, and these politicians still can't get
18:29
Speaker 1: out of the twentieth century.
18:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very good point. Now, the reason for
18:33
Speaker 3: that is there's only a handful of these political consultants,
18:37
Speaker 3: and they go from campaign to campaign and teach everybody
18:41
Speaker 3: the same exact ad. You know, if you're a great
18:43
Speaker 3: consultant and incredible marketing video, you're going to go to
18:46
Speaker 3: work for all these big corporations. You're not going to
18:48
Speaker 3: do politics. But that's a good point. Yeah, they all
18:50
Speaker 3: do this. I'll be ready on day one. So what
18:53
Speaker 3: everybody's ready on day one? Every Hey, iHeart every major company.
18:58
Speaker 3: We hire people all the time. One they show up,
19:00
Speaker 3: they're ready. We've never had anybody who we hired say
19:06
Speaker 3: I'm not ready. I can't stop, I'll have to come
19:08
Speaker 3: back another time. I'm just not ready. Everybody is ready
19:11
Speaker 3: day one. Let's go to Stan in Forest Hills, Stan,
19:14
Speaker 3: How you're doing, How you doing?
19:16
Speaker 7: Happy holidays? I just want to say, you know, I
19:20
Speaker 7: keep hearing that's socialism which I'm not a.
19:23
Speaker 3: Communist, but you sound like a communist.
19:25
Speaker 7: No, no, I'm not anna sound like one. Do you
19:28
Speaker 7: ever hear yourself?
19:28
Speaker 3: But that's a little bit of a communist, you don't know.
19:31
Speaker 7: The point is, we have socialistic programs in this country
19:35
Speaker 7: that are extremely successful. Well I mean to name them.
19:38
Speaker 7: They called social security. We pay into it, but it's
19:41
Speaker 7: for the masses. We have Medicare, we pay that into it.
19:45
Speaker 7: It's for the masses, and the greatest one is Medicaid, which.
19:48
Speaker 3: Is in Southern I know that's an old, old cliche
19:51
Speaker 3: Democratic it's not a cliche. We got to cut you
19:53
Speaker 3: off there. It's an old democratic cliche talking point. It's
19:56
Speaker 3: a government program. It's not socialist. I mean, you could
19:59
Speaker 3: say that's what's socialism, is government handouts. But it's not
20:03
Speaker 3: a socialist. You can opt in, you can opt out,
20:05
Speaker 3: you can do whatever the hell you want. You cannot
20:07
Speaker 3: take it. Let's go to David in New Jersey. David,
20:10
Speaker 3: how you.
20:11
Speaker 10: Doing all right? Good morning? Thank you very much for
20:14
Speaker 10: taking my call. This is the first time I ever
20:16
Speaker 10: called I listened to you. You're I think you're great.
20:18
Speaker 10: Thank you for what you do.
20:21
Speaker 3: When a guy butters you up first. It means he's
20:23
Speaker 3: up to something. All right, go ahead, I like.
20:26
Speaker 10: To hear your opinion on this. We know this Mondomie,
20:29
Speaker 10: he's a he's an anti semi. The Jews in New
20:35
Speaker 10: York has, from my understanding, has the biggest population outside Israel.
20:41
Speaker 10: We know Como's a thief and a bum. What's wrong
20:44
Speaker 10: with these Jews not voting against this guy?
20:47
Speaker 3: And they aren't putting your Most of the Jewish community
20:50
Speaker 3: is totally against him, working hard against him. And let
20:52
Speaker 3: me just defend and Cuomo. I don't think that he's
20:54
Speaker 3: a thief, the worst governor ever. Yes, a complete incompetent,
20:58
Speaker 3: a disgrace. Yes, all his sexual Yes, a thief. No,
21:03
Speaker 3: we don't know if I'm actually stealing money.
21:06
Speaker 10: But why aren't they putting your vote towards Sleeva?
21:09
Speaker 3: I do A lot of them are? A lot of
21:11
Speaker 3: them are.
21:13
Speaker 10: So Slew should be running away with this instead of.
21:16
Speaker 3: Well, we love the Jewish community, but it's a tiny,
21:18
Speaker 3: tiny part of the electorate, it's not a big part
21:21
Speaker 3: of it's not a big percentage of the votes. But
21:23
Speaker 3: they are men much of the Jewish community back in Sliva.
21:26
Speaker 10: And well, let's hope so Yeah.
21:29
Speaker 3: No, it's just unfortunately it's not a big enough part
21:31
Speaker 3: of the electorate. Again, it's a turnout race. If you
21:36
Speaker 3: get huge turnout, Montdomie loses. If you get what we've
21:39
Speaker 3: been getting for like Deblasio or Eric Adams, where it's
21:42
Speaker 3: eighteen percent turnout twenty, that's where you have a problem. Hey,
21:45
Speaker 3: when we come back, Liz Peak will be with us next.
21:47
Speaker 3: The great columnist. Let's see what she thinks about all
21:50

22:17

22:24
Speaker 3: Liz Peak.
22:25
Speaker 10: How you doing, I'm terrific.
22:27
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on.
22:28
Speaker 10: Mark.
22:29
Speaker 3: Well, you know I'm watching Schumer and the Keem Jeffries
22:33
Speaker 3: all over television. Every Hey's gonna die. We're gonna die.
22:35
Speaker 3: This is gonna die. And then they all left for
22:38
Speaker 3: the weekend. They're on vacation. Now, how does this work?
22:41
Speaker 6: I guess we're not going to die right away?
22:43
Speaker 3: Yeah. So are these two just tone deaf Jeffries and Schumer?
22:49
Speaker 3: Are they just out of touch?
22:51
Speaker 4: Uh?
22:52
Speaker 6: They're scared to death. Mark, I think the progressive left
22:57
Speaker 6: has a stranglehold on the Democratic Party right now. And honestly,
23:00
Speaker 6: I think you can fairly say that if AOC Alexandrio
23:05
Speaker 6: Cacio Cortez, the progressive darling from New York State, was
23:08
Speaker 6: not threatening to primary Chuck Schumer when he's up for
23:12
Speaker 6: reelection in twenty eight we would not be having a
23:14
Speaker 6: government shutdown. When he signed on and agreed to go
23:18
Speaker 6: along with the Republican funding bill in March, he got
23:21
Speaker 6: absolutely sporched by the progressive left. They hated him for
23:26
Speaker 6: going along. They think the only thing the Democrats should
23:29
Speaker 6: be doing is resisting everything Republicans and Donald Trump are
23:33
Speaker 6: trying to do. And so he learned his lesson. I mean,
23:37
Speaker 6: when you look at poland guess what Schumer might be
23:40
Speaker 6: beaten by AOC. It's completely possible. So you know, it's
23:45
Speaker 6: like Andrew Cuomo running against mom Donni in New York
23:49
Speaker 6: City for the mayor's race. I mean, basically, Cuomo a
23:52
Speaker 6: sort of long time I guess moderate Democrat, although I
23:56
Speaker 6: think he's a pretty far left Democrat. He is nothing
23:59
Speaker 6: compared to Mamdani. That's where the energy is, that's where
24:02
Speaker 6: the excitement is in the Democratic Party. So I mean, honestly,
24:05
Speaker 6: you have this ridiculous situation where the entire country is
24:10
Speaker 6: in the grip of AOC who, in my view, is
24:13
Speaker 6: an incredibly know nothing Democrat representative who has tremendous social
24:19
Speaker 6: media presence. And that's about it.
24:22
Speaker 3: And how did we get to this point? Is it
24:24
Speaker 3: because the universities became in doctrination centers over the last
24:29
Speaker 3: few decades and we've raised generations of far left kookie
24:32
Speaker 3: socialist young Is that how this is happening.
24:35
Speaker 6: Without a doubt, without a doubt, that is part of it.
24:38
Speaker 6: I mean, I think in terms of what ails the
24:41
Speaker 6: Democratic Party, well, first of all, let's look at their record.
24:46
Speaker 6: Show me a Democrat run state in the United States
24:50
Speaker 6: that is prospering. The answer is, you can't because their
24:53
Speaker 6: policies don't work. Mamdani has risen to fame by talking
24:58
Speaker 6: about affordability. He's completely right that the two most expensive
25:03
Speaker 6: states to live in are New York and California. Why
25:06
Speaker 6: would that be, I wonder Well, let's talk about high
25:09
Speaker 6: taxes and tons of regulation that make it almost impossible
25:13
Speaker 6: to operate a small business, and all the kinds of
25:17
Speaker 6: labor laws that they put in effect that jack up
25:20
Speaker 6: the price of everything from uber drivers to delivery drivers,
25:24
Speaker 6: delivery people for food and stuff. All that may seem
25:28
Speaker 6: like a good thing, but the reality is it means
25:31
Speaker 6: it's incredibly expensive to live in these states. So weirdly,
25:35
Speaker 6: it's Democrat policies that have pushed the emergence of Democratic
25:41
Speaker 6: socialists who pretend they're going to solve those affordability issues
25:45
Speaker 6: by being even farther to the left, having even more
25:48
Speaker 6: regulation and more taxes, and doing everything that Democrats have
25:53
Speaker 6: been doing for decades, but on steroids. I mean, you
25:55
Speaker 6: cannot come up with a worse argument for election than that,
26:00
Speaker 6: and yet it is resonating.
26:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you think about it, the Democrats have run
26:04
Speaker 3: every inch in New York legislature, albanys, governor, mayor city
26:08
Speaker 3: council for about twelve years. So why would if there's
26:12
Speaker 3: such a crisis. Why wouldn't you just switch parties? That's
26:14
Speaker 3: the obvious thing to do.
26:15
Speaker 9: Yeah, Mark, you know you're thinking straight.
26:18
Speaker 6: The problem is all these young people are not and
26:22
Speaker 6: part of it is what you call indoctrination. And that's
26:25
Speaker 6: exactly the right word for it. You know, during the
26:29
Speaker 6: Vietnam era, if you think back that long, what how
26:32
Speaker 6: did you escape the draft? All the lefty hippies who
26:36
Speaker 6: didn't approve of the warren Vietnam could avoid the draft
26:40
Speaker 6: by becoming teachers and professors.
26:43
Speaker 10: So they did.
26:44
Speaker 6: And guess what here we are all these years later.
26:47
Speaker 6: These guys have organized and run the departments of America's
26:52
Speaker 6: colleges now for forty plus years. They hire people who
26:57
Speaker 6: think the way they do. Polling shows early the faculty
27:01
Speaker 6: at Harvard, for example, doesn't even want to have any
27:04
Speaker 6: kind of diversity of opinion in Harvard's faculty. They don't
27:08
Speaker 6: approve of that. So you have a very solid generation
27:12
Speaker 6: now that is incredibly left wing and by the way,
27:15
Speaker 6: incredibly ignorant because they don't know the history of the
27:19
Speaker 6: Soviet Union. They don't know the history of Venezuela and
27:22
Speaker 6: how or Cuba or any of these countries that are
27:25
Speaker 6: so poor and so destitute in the case of Soviet Union,
27:28
Speaker 6: that actually collapsed under the weight of the kinds of
27:32
Speaker 6: policies that they are now embracing. Had they been ever
27:35
Speaker 6: taught that, or taught about the virtues of capitalism and
27:39
Speaker 6: how capitalist free countries do well and create wealth for
27:44
Speaker 6: their people, maybe they wouldn't be so eager to flock
27:48
Speaker 6: to a guy that is touting the same failed policies
27:51
Speaker 6: that really have caused millions to live in poverty.
27:55
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's a strange election here in New York.
27:58
Speaker 3: You got one candidate is the absolute worst of the
28:00
Speaker 3: new generation Democrat and the other candidate's the worst of
28:04
Speaker 3: the old generation Demosray, Yeah, isn't.
28:06
Speaker 9: That the truth?
28:06
Speaker 6: That's a really good point. It's oh, it's like and
28:10
Speaker 6: and that's you know, that's obviously anyway, that's a local issue.
28:14
Speaker 6: We have two terrible candidates running. Uh, and so it's
28:17
Speaker 6: it's like, you know, the worst of the choice.
28:19
Speaker 10: You can make.
28:20
Speaker 6: But but I think generally nationally, when you look at Schumern,
28:24
Speaker 6: Schumer in particular should be embarrassed. I mean, how many
28:27
Speaker 6: times has he paraded before the cameras well every Sunday
28:30
Speaker 6: night he used to, if you recall, because nobody else bothered. Uh,
28:34
Speaker 6: And he would talk about how terrible government shutdowns are,
28:38
Speaker 6: how they really hurt the country. And here they are
28:41
Speaker 6: insisting on one for what end? To what end they
28:45
Speaker 6: want to? I mean, they don't want to give the
28:48
Speaker 6: Senate and it's just a few weeks to get their
28:51
Speaker 6: spending bill in order. They don't want to do that.
28:55
Speaker 6: So again, this is this is play acting. It's performative politics,
28:59
Speaker 6: which is what Democrats have really kind of, you know,
29:03
Speaker 6: become very good at or at least sort of that's
29:07
Speaker 6: all they do. Now it's performingtive politics with no particular purpose,
29:12
Speaker 6: and I think it's a tragedy honestly.
29:14
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, great stuff, Liz Peak. Hey, everybody check out

Speaker 3: be a little while. The hearing is underway. Did he
29:46
Speaker 3: will be sentenced at some point, will bring it to
29:48
Speaker 3: you when it happens. The judge says trial evidence did
29:52
Speaker 3: establish that they were transported for the purpose of engaging
29:55
Speaker 3: in a commercial sex act. That doesn't sound good prosecute
30:00
Speaker 3: and wants eleven years. Did he wants time served? That's
30:04
Speaker 3: fourteen months. Criminal lawyers say it'll be somewhere in the
30:08
Speaker 3: middle of five six years. Well, we'll see, it'll happen
30:10
Speaker 3: later this morning and we'll get to that coming up
