  Speaker 1: Mr. New York, Mark Simone, 710WOR.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll get to Dolly Parton, we'll get to Darlene Graham,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: we'll get to Crazy Kathy Hochul, and a whole lot more. Hey,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I have very good news for you. Prince Harry and
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Meghan Markle are gone. We got rid of them. They're
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: out of the country. They left earlier on a.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: They've got a serious plane. I mean, you can get
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a private jet, you know, smaller one, bigger one. They've
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: got a real serious one, a Bombardier Global Express XRS
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: luxury long-range business jet. That's a serious plane. That's $ 12, 000
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: an hour. Figure 10 hours for this flight for the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: time to pick them up, drop them off, and get
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: rid of them. So 10 hours, that's $ 120, 000 for the flight,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: but they took... the whole family, the dogs, everything they took, uh,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: they have their own private security. What the hell is
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: going to bother them? They got their own private security
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: because the Royal family, uh, has kind of disowned them,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: will not provide any security for them. They landed in Birmingham, England.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: They're calling it an extended stay. They're not saying they're
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: moving there. They're saying it's an extended stay, uh, Now,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the reason they're saying that is these two idiots couldn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: find any work here in this country. It started off
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: okay with a big Netflix deal, a big podcast deal,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and then everything bombed. And suddenly there was no work
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: for them in the last couple of years. They couldn't
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: get a job doing anything. So they'll go back to England.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: They'll try to get something going there. They'll see if
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: they can make some money or get a show or
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: get a podcast, get something going. And if they can't
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: get anything over there, then they'll come back. That's why
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: they're not saying they're moving there. They're saying it's an
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: extended visit. That way, if they bomb out completely, it
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: won't look so bad when they leave. But these are
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: two of the most useless idiots in the world. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you've got to remember, when you do a podcast, it
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: can really expose you because you have to speak at
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: great length and you've got to do a number of episodes.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: People really get to hear, does this person know anything?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Do they have anything to say? You know, Michelle Obama,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: for instance, if you didn't know her, if you just
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: looked at her, she looked quite regal. She looked like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a very impressive woman, always beautifully dressed, tall and regal. And,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you know, you just read about her background and how
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: educated and she was this, she was that. And she
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: looked very impressive. Then if you start listening to the podcast,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you realize this is an empty headed yo-yo with nothing
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to say. Remember that podcast of her and her brother
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: talking for an hour? You listen to her for an
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: hour and you realize this woman's got nothing going on,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: nothing to say, nothing to talk about, no personality, no substance.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And the podcast didn't last that long, but it was
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: just awful. I remember recently she had to start again
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: with Barack Obama because he was a quick talker, smooth talker,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a little more substance to him. So same problem with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Harry and Meghan. The prince, Prince Harry. And then you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: listen to him. He's just a moron. He's got nothing
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to say. She was pretty good in the show Suits.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: If you watch that show, I love that show. She's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: pretty good in that role. I mean, she was like
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: 15th billing in the show, but she was pretty good.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: But then when you listen to her talk, a complete
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: idiot with nothing to say, nothing going on, no substance
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to either of them. So that was the end of it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So Dolly Parton, wow. That was quite a blow to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the nation. She was one of the very, very, very
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: few celebrities. It's the shortest list in the world of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: celebrities that were exactly the same on the air and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: off the air. Exactly the same. Everybody loved them. Nobody
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: had a bad thing to say about them. Nobody anywhere
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: who knew them, ever worked with them, could think of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: anything bad to say about Dolly Parton. Wonderful person. Grew
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: up in a one-room cabin. It's one of the great
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: American stories. It's one of the great success stories. Not
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: only incredible musical talent, all of that, acting, everything, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a great, generous philanthropist, shrewd, smart businesswoman. She was known
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: for the rhinestones and the crazy get-ups and all of that,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: but her nephew, who spoke to the public to explain
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the whole thing, this was quite a touching moment.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: wearing heavy rhinestones... she finally deserves to be comfortable and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: have some rest.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So she also wants a very, very private funeral, just
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the family, just close friends. This is someone in her family.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Our daughters have grown up with 120 books, right? Five
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: years worth of a book a month each from Dolly
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Parton's Imagination Library. And now every child who is in
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: one of the childcare centers in our city will get
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: that same experience. And it's just an extraordinary impact to have.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, Ronca, that's not Dolly's family, but that's another important point.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Younger generations, you know, her great fame was in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: 80s and 90s, but younger people loved, loved Dolly Parton,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: loved Dolly Parton. The songs, the music, younger kids, kids
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: know those songs. They really took to them. And the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: movie nine to five, One of the great movies. If
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen, go back and watch 9 to 5.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal film with the evil boss harassing the women. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest lines in movie history. is in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that movie, Dolly Parton said to the evil boss who
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: was always harassing them.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Look, I got a gun out there in my purse.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: And up to now, I've been forgiving and forgetting because
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: of the way I was brought up. But I'll tell
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: you one thing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: If you ever say another word about me or make another.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Indecent proposal, I'm going to get that gun of mine
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: and I'm going to change you from a rooster to
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: a hen with one shot.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton, just beloved. So President Trump was a huge
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton fan. Flags at half-mast. every government building in America,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: federal government building. And there'll be some kind of big
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: tribute coming to her in Washington. The president will make
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: sure that her legacy, well, and she talked a lot
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Do you ever think about what you'd want your legacy
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to be?
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of wonderful things that's happened to me.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: One of the things I'm proudest of is the Imagination Library. But,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: of course, I'm a writer and a singer, and I'm
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: in both Songwriter Hall of Fame, you know, the big one,
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: the country music, and the other one up there with
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the big guys. I'm just trying to leave as much stuff.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I just want to see how much I can do
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: in a lifetime. And I've been blessed, and I've been lucky,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: and I don't take any of that for granted. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I just want it to be remembered well.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: We know she's a great singer, but don't forget great,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: great songwriter. Listen to the, this is a, she was
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a very young kid and she wrote her very first song.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Little tiny tassel top.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: I love you an awful lot.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Corn silk hair and big brown eyes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: How you make me smile.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Little tiny tassel top. You're the only friend I got.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Hope you never go away.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I want you to stay.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: She started very young. She was like about 14, first
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: sang publicly. And then, I think she was like 16, 17,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: went to the Grand Ole Opry. And remember, she teamed
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: up with Porter Wagner, took her under his wing and
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: launched that career very, very early. Hey, big night for
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Trump world last night. A lot of victories all over
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the country. The big one was Darlene Graham because there
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: had been some doubt whether she could win, but she
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: certainly did. Big victory. Darlene Graham won. in South Carolina
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: beating Norman, who was the longtime Republican, been there for
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: 20 years. And she kept saying, you know, I do
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: more in 20 days than he did in 20 years.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: And he got wiped. Another problem, he had Nikki Haley
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: backing him, who everybody hates behind the scenes. One of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the nastiest, most awful people you'll ever meet. But the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: fact that she backed him did not help. President Trump
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: came to South Carolina. big campaign rally, put a lot
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of money, almost a million dollars in down there. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: this is getting ready for the midterms. It's very important.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: When the Trump people, the RNC, when they go into
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: a local primary race, they start testing out everything, like
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: how they're going to work a phone bank, what they'll
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: send out, what kind of mailings they'll do, what kind
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: of social media they'll do, what kind of door knocking.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So they test out everything, road test it, and see
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: what works, what doesn't. And that gets them ready for
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the midterms. But Big victory for Darlene Graham last night.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: President, Lindsey truly loved you and viewed you as one
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: of his closest friends. I appreciate that bond and appreciate
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: all that you've done for our country. Our victory would
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: not have been possible without you.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big night. Hey, there was one exception,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: except this was in Oklahoma, and it was on the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Democratic side. This is a Democratic primary, so it still
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean much, but the crazy Trump hater. the radical
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: nutjob Democrat won in Oklahoma. Now, it's a red state,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: so she's going to go nowhere, but it's Nikilia Jasmine Thomas.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: She's a nurse, and she's yelling and screaming about she's
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: going to impeach Trump. For what? She doesn't know. It
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. She's going to impeach Trump. So she did
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: win the Democratic primary, but again, it's Oklahoma. She will
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: not win the general. So, hey, Mayor Mamdani, let me
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: just reassure you again. The good thing is, Whatever he
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: talks about, whether it's free buses, whether it's government grocery stores,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: whatever he talks about, it's never going to happen. This
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: guy never gets anything done, doesn't accomplish anything.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Anything.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: You'll never see one of these grocery stores. The pied-à-terre
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: tax is probably never going to happen. In fact, remember
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: he announced the deadline is August 12th. That's it. Then
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they had to change the deadline. Well, it's okay. It's
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: September 12th. Well, the They just changed it again. Now
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: it's October 6th. They keep moving the deadline. You'll never
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: see this pied-a-terre tax. Now there's... Remember they sent out
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the mailings? They sent out 17,000 letters. You're getting a pied-a-terre. Well, 1,200.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: They admit now. This is Mamdani admitting 1,200 were mistakes.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of mistakes, 1,200. 5,500 are appealing letters. already,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: and 2,500 have been granted a victory. So 2,500, oh,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: excuse me, 2,900. So let's say 3,000. So 1,200 who
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: were notified by mistake, 3,000 won their appeal. They're not pied-à-terre.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: And another 11,000 people have filed applications for exemptions. So
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: they sent out 17,000 letters. If you do the math
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: real fast, it sounds like 16,000 of them were not
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: pied-a-terre and they're going to get it. They're going to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: get the exemption. So, uh, the whole thing is ridiculous.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: You'll never see this pied-a-terre tax. You'll never ever live
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: to see it. You'll never see a government grocery store.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That's the good thing about Mom Donnie. A, um, who's
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: going to be mayor? He's up in three years. Who's
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: going to run for mayor? Now, of course, everybody thinks
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Jessica Tisch will run. Uh, she's a possibility. Seems like
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a common sense, you know, good person. She's not the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: most experienced. And she's been the police commissioner now for
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: two years. She's not that well liked within the police department.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: But she'd be a good mayor. And then who else
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: will run? Now, John Schell was a big part of
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the NYPD. He was the highest ranking uniform officer, chief
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: of patrol. That's a big job. Schell's a very good guy,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: nice guy, sharp guy. He wants to run for mayor.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And if you need a top law enforcement guy, well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: he'd be great. John Schell, already talking about it publicly.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a kid from Brooklyn that did what every other
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: kid did. I joined the police department 32 years.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I know the city very well.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I gave it all for the city. I actually ran something.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And I know what New York City is all about
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and what they want and what they expect. And I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: can tell you what they don't expect is socialism. This
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. It won't work. Nothing is free in this world.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Everybody pays. So keep an eye on this guy, John Schell. Obviously,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: obviously law enforcement credentials. But remember, chief of patrol, it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: a big management job. So he's got management experience. And
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: you recall, especially before Jessica Tisch, he was the guy
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: that was always on television representing the police department. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: so good on TV. So keep an eye on Schell.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: We have to take a look at this ballooning budget
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of $ 126 billion.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And the next three.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Years under this mayor will be an additional $ 22 billion
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in the hole. So you've got to look at what
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: we're spending, how we're spending it, line by line, and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: make those adjustments. Cut out the fat. Cut out the waste.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It's good to be benevolent and give people a break
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: who need it. But you've got to take a look
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: at all that before you can spend any money and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: then see what's actually coming in and going out.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, 2 o'clock today, a big press conference. Keep
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: an eye on this. Bruce Blakeman will have a press
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: conference at 2 o'clock. Blakeman is going to talk about Hochul,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: crazy Kathy Hochul and her legislature. They passed this law
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: that you're not allowed to cooperate with ICE. Local police
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: cannot cooperate with ICE. I know it sounds ridiculous. Obviously,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: FBI comes in, any major law enforcement agency. Of course
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you would cooperate with them. She doesn't want any cooperation.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Blakeman has been very good at cooperating with ICE. That's
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: why in Long Island, he's got the lowest crime rate.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: That's why in Long Island, ICE is operating with no incidents.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Everything's smooth there. But Hochul, listen to her.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: has been committed.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Now, this is the problem with this, Dunce. Breaking into
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the country, illegal immigration, that's a real crime, a very
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: real crime.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: But on civil immigration matters, ICE is on their own.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Let me be clear. Any police department or sheriff's office
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: that disobeys this law, that maintains any agreement with ICE,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: will face legal action.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: What?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: You cooperate with a major law enforcement agency, you're going
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to get legal action against you? This, she's trying to
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: play to the Mamdani crowd. She's not that skilled a
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: politician to try to walk this fine line, but she's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: trying to play to the Mamdani crowd. You're going to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: see this used against her in commercials. in social media,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: especially upstate where they want ICE. They love that stuff.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Blakeman responded.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: We have the most comprehensive agreement with ICE in the
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: United States. I've dedicated 50 jail cells to ICE and
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: I've dedicated 10 detectives from our Nassau County Police Department
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: to ICE. And we're doing it because we want to
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: make our community safer. And we've done that. We have
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: the safest county in America, according to U.S. News and
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: World Report.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Now, Blakeman cannot lose this argument because what he's doing
• 15:25
