  Speaker 1: Now, this is the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Well, hey,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it's Friday. That's the good news. It's Friday. The bad news,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a rainy, messy weekend, but we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: got a lot to get to today. We'll get to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: President Xi of China, his visit to the White House.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: A lot happened there. We'll get to the UN. This
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: should be the final day of total gridlock UN week.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They're all starting to leave over the weekend. We'll get
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to Netanyahu's speech yesterday. We have all these TV channels
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on here. We've got all these different TV screens. Now,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the left wing, the left wing, ooh, they hated that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu speech. New York One, that little, little tiny New
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: York One is the most biased left-wing network. Look at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the headline they put in a button. Netanyahu fuels tensions
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and creates backlash. And it was actually quite a heroic
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: speech from Netanyahu. New York One making him look like
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: some sort of villain. And then they immediately cut to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Mamdani saying that Netanyahu's lying speech, blatant lies, and he
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: tried to whitewash the genocide that Israel has committed. You
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: can get a lot of that crap from the real, real,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: real left-wing television. It was quite a speech. It was
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a powerful speech as Netanyahu got up to speak. Half
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the UN General Assembly walked out. They got up and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: walked out. Many different nations, their delegates walked out. Before
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu even spoke, as soon as he got to the podium,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they walked out. It's a very anti-Semitic place, that UN.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Very anti-Semitic. Always has been since its creation. And as
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu gets up, he must have expected some walkouts, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it was half the room. And Netanyahu said, Mr. President.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Before I begin, just a quick announcement. If there are
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: please do so now. Thank you very much.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Perfect. Absolutely perfect. And it was quite a speech. Very powerful.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And we'll play a lot of it throughout the show
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this morning. And he stood up for Israel and... You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the problem is for the anti-Semitic haters, nothing's going to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: persuade them on anything. But he did point out that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the genocide was against Israel. The worst Holocaust since the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Hitler-not-Holocaust took place on October 7th. Israel's response was as
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: careful and as cautious as could be.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: us all, I asked, where were you when the Iranian
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he made a lot of great points. In Iran,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: over the last six months, they have slaughtered in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: street 40,000 of their citizens just for protesting or whatever
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: reason opposing the government, just slaughtered them. And there were
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: some protesters, they just opened fire on them and shot
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: them all. Some survived and ended up in the hospital. Now,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this is an absolute fact. Iran's special Republican guard, whatever
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the hell they call it, actually went into the hospitals
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and shot those protesters in their hospital bed just to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: make sure they were dead. And again, the Susan Sarandans,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the Mamdani's, where were they on this? Netanyahu has a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: good point. Where were they on that? They still haven't
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: condemned it. But the yelling and screaming about Israel, which is,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of course, insane. But it's just fueled on total hatred.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: He did go after Mamdani. Mr.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Jews no longer feel safe in New York.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: They talk to me. They tell me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: This isn't the city we remember. It changed so quickly. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: it's no wonder. You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You count as friends people like Hassan Piker, who said
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: America deserved 9-11.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: America deserved 9-11. Some friends you have. Yeah, now did
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you ever think you'd live to see a New York
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: City could have a mayor that was openly bigoted, openly racist,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: openly anti-Semitic? Did you ever think you'd live to see that?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Where you would brag about his anti-Semitism? A mayor who
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: would actually engage in actual hate speech. Netanyahu even got
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to his wife.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Your wife liked a post praising the October 7th massacre.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: She liked another post saying Tel Aviv shouldn't exist. You
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: refuse to condemn any of that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's a strange world. You've got an actually bigoted, biased
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: mayor engaging in hate speech. His wife, crazier, well, as
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: crazy as he is, so. We'll play more of Netanyahu's speech.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It was quite a day. The protesting was out of control. Netanyahu,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he's gone now. He was staying at the Regency Hotel,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: 61st and Park, all of Park Avenue for a couple
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of blocks, filled with crazy lunatic protesters. As he came
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to the UN, the protesters went there. Many of them
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: were arrested. Susan Sarandon among them. Why, if this were
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, her career was so bad, people
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: would say, Ah, Susan Sarandon, she can't even get arrested. Well,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it turns out she can. Also, some of those DSA
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: congressional candidates, what's his name? Darial Aziza Avaliva-Chevalier, also detained
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: by NYPD. They were arrested for blocking a roadway. Linda
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Sarsour showed up wearing a red hijab, leading demonstrators. She
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: had all the left-wing crazies out there. Anyway, we'll get
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: back to that. The other thing that happened yesterday, of course,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: was the meeting with China's President Xi Jinping. It was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: all day. The President spent the entire day with him.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: From morning to night, they had a big state dinner
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: last night. I'm looking at the guest list. It was
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: all the big tech leaders. It was a lot of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: big CEOs, hedge fund guys. There was Steve Schwartzman. There
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: was Larry Fink. There were a lot of these guys there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: All the big tech leaders, even the older ones, Michael Dell.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Tim Cook, all the current tech leaders, the AI guys,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the media. Let's see who's on the guest list. Jesse Waters,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Laura Ingram, Brett Baer. The menu. Oh, all your favorites.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: All your favorites. First course, yellow squash velouté with a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: wild mushroom fricassee. Sounds great, doesn't it? I don't know
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: what the hell it is. Sounds terrible. Who the hell
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: wants to eat that? Oh, it's complimented by crispy pancetta
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and topped with a drizzle of scallion oil. I'm sure
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: under the table, the president had a Big Mac and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: some filet of fish and some French fries hidden under
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the table. It was followed by crusted sea bass with
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: braised baby bok choy and roasted eggplant. I guarantee you,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump now almost 80. He's been in a billion restaurants,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: never once, ever said to the waiter, I'll have the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: sesame-crusted sea bass. Oh, and bring me some braised baby
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: bok choy. He's never said that in his life. For dessert, okay,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: so this sounds like the good part. Still don't know
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: what the hell it is. Vanilla cremeux with a sour
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: cherry confit atop a walnut frangipane. What the hell is that?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And served with the White House honey ice cream. Okay,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: there's one thing you could eat there. It sounds horrible.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk was also there sitting right at the table
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: with Xi Jinping. Now, you got to spend the whole
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: day with this guy. He had to go with him
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to the Smithsonian. They had one meeting after another. Who
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the hell, what the hell would you talk to this
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: guy about all day? Now, they did have talks, serious
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: talks for an hour here, hour there, bilateral meetings. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: usually you try to, if you're a president, the formula
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is your staff and their staff, you arrange some sort
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of what they call deliverables. So at the end of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the talks, you can come out and announce, we've got
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this accomplished. This is what we got. It's called a deliverable,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and you're supposed to announce a few of those later.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: President Trump, of course, doesn't play by the rules. Not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: your typical president. Apparently wasn't worried about that, so they
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: didn't arrange any of that kind of stuff. And usually
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: they're meaningless anyway. You know, usually when they come out,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it was Bush or Obama or Clinton. They make the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: big announcement. Well, we've accomplished. They've agreed to buy our soybeans.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And that's supposed to be the deliverable, the big, big accomplishment.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And if you're not a soybean farmer, who cares that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they're buying our soybeans? Or they announce we're going to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get two pandas from them, something like this. But it
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: went well. Now, the president toured Xi Jinping around the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: White House, showing him everything. And then they had these ceremonies.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They had one where they looked out over the Rose
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Garden and out in the Rose Garden there were a million,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: dozens of these, like in the Revolutionary War uniforms, these
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: minute men playing the fife and drums, marching. I don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: know what the hell this is. This is Xi Jinping.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know what the hell this is or what
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he's looking at. But you got to do something with
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: this guy all day. uh then president uh trump toured
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: him around the white even took him to the ballroom
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: construction site to show him the ballroom he was building
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of flack for that online everybody
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: making fun of why is he taking him into a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: construction zone well he's very this is what he does
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: he's a builder he's very proud of it hey you
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: know when you go to anybody's house especially they got
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a new house or they're living in an incredible house
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You go to their house. What's the first thing they do?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Come on, I'll give you a tour of the house.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Then they lead you around from room to room. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you have to pretend you're interested in this. And this
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is the living room. And then here's the wine. So
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they show you all this stuff. And you got to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: pretend you like this. You have to ooh and ah. Ooh, oh, ooh.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Then they tell you where this chair is from, where
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they got this couch from, how they look at the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: molding here. They show you all this crap. And you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: got to pretend you're interested. So even presidents do that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: He even showed him the helipad. And then he got
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of flack for that. And it is probably
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the nicest helipad ever built. It's a very special granite.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And he said, Xi Jinping loves granite. That's why he
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: showed it to me. He loves granite. I don't know
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: about that. Do we believe that? Are we buying that?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I never met anybody that said, I love granite. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: when people talk about, oh, I love pickleball. I'm a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: big football. I love golf. I've never heard me say,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I love? I love granite. I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: know anybody that would ever say that. So, oh, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: one thing that got a lot of flack, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: when you come down that promenade, that walkway, the president
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: has portraits in gold frames of every president. So he's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: leading Xi along, showing him every portrait. And then when
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they get to the Biden one, Xi looks confused. It
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It's not Biden. It's some mechanical. And Trump goes, this
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: is the auto pen. Remember him with the auto pen? Well,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: every left-wing kook site went absolutely nuts. Mediaite, real left-wing site,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: big headline, utterly disgusting. Trump mocks Biden in front of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: China's Xi, sparking furious online backlash. Well, if you go online,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you can see video of this moment. Go watch the video.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I've watched it. I've slowed it down. I've watched it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: carefully 20 times. When he shows it to she and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: tells him what it is, you can see she burst
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: out laughing. Not only can you see him laughing, but
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: his head snaps back. He throws his head back with laughter.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: He really got a kick out of it. So you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: can't say it's disgusting if it got that big a
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: laugh out of she. You know, sometimes you're up there telling...
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: doing your little jokes. It happens to me all the time.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: In front of a big audience in the big ballroom
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and you make a few jokes in one of them,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: somebody could say, oh, you went a little too far.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: The audience is the judge. If the audience all roared
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: with laughter, if the joke landed well, the audience loved it,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that's all that matters. So you can try to pick
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: on Trump for this, but watch the video. She laughed
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: so hard his head goes back. He loved the joke.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So it landed. She loved it. You can't say it
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't right. Now, here's the problem. President Trump, that's yesterday,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: all day, big state dinner. Today, I'm looking at the schedule.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's Xi again, President Xi all day. First, they have
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a morning tea at 10 o'clock. Then they visit the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: National Archives. Then they have another meeting. Who the hell
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: wants to spend two days with this guy? You've seen
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: this President Xi. What would you talk to? You sit
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in a room with him. You have to have tea
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: with the guy for an hour. What do you say
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to the guy? Hey, how about those Yankees? Terrible about
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that Aaron Judge. What do you talk to this guy about?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Melania looked beautiful. She's spending time with Mrs. Xi, Madam Ping.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And then they leave later today. Looks like I'm looking
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: at the schedule. Looks like the president does not leave Washington.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He's going to go to Kentucky or Tennessee. on Saturday,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but he's not coming to Bedminster. Mar-a-Lago is closed until
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: usually about Halloween. So he'll be in Washington and probably
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: go to his, he has a Trump golf course just
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: outside of DC in the suburbs. So when he stays,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he goes there and plays golf. So this UN week
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: stuff has been a disaster. I don't know what the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: hell was going on last night. You could hear sirens everywhere.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: It depends. Your motorcade size depends on how big a
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: world leader you are. If you're the president of some
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: dinky country, your motorcade is your SUV, and maybe you've
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: got a car in front of you and behind you.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It's a three-car motorcade. If you're Macron of France, you're
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: going to get like eight cars. If you're a high-risk security,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: like Netanyahu, that was a lot of cars. It was
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: cars and ambulance. One of those cars with the guys
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: fully armed with the Uzis and the the big guns
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and the stinger missile on the roof kind of thing.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And if you're the president, it's an unbelievable motorcade. It's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: like 50, literally 50 motorcycles first. And then the cars,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: it's like literally 20, 30 cars, SUVs, those presidential limousines,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: three of them, ambulances, everything, you know, military type vehicles.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And then last night, and some of them, have police
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: escorts with the sirens going just to get them through.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on last night, but 10,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you could hear the sirens all over Midtown. They start
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: leaving these world leaders today. Some of them stay for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a day or two through the weekend because they like
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to go shopping. They like to go to our top
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: restaurants and go to Broadway shows and all that. Although
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I talked to some of the owners of some of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: our most famous, top crowded, hard to get reservation restaurants.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: And they said, They can't stand this U.N. week because
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it scares away all the regular customers. They cancel the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: reservations because they don't want to fight this gridlock and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: street closures. And they don't care about these U.N. delegates.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: They don't need them. And first of all, they're never
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: coming back. And so by Monday, we should be pretty
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: much back to normal traffic wise. So we've got a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: lot to get to today. Hey, we'll get to the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: polls when they keep telling you, look how low President Trump,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: look how low his approval rating is. They're misleading you,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: as they always do, by leaving out stuff. We'll get
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to that coming up. It's Mark Simone. Three hours every day.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Three hours now. Nine to noon here on 710WOR.
