- 0:11Speaker 1: get to this hour. We'll get to well, we got
- 0:14Speaker 1: some news about this show. We'll get to the White
- 0:17Speaker 1: House Correspondence dinner, We'll get to Iran, We'll get to
- 0:21Speaker 1: the DNC in real trouble. We'll also get to stuff
- 0:25Speaker 1: coming out about that little worm, doctor Fauci. If you're
- 0:29Speaker 1: a tea drinker, you better listen to something I gotta
- 0:31Speaker 1: tell you coming up. And of course we'll get to
- 0:34Speaker 1: crazy Mom Donnie and all of his silly theatrics and
- 0:38Speaker 1: all of that.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Uh.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Just ahead, we'll get to Maine they got a new candidate.
- 0:43Speaker 1: And why am I hearing about football in the news.
- 0:45Speaker 1: It's really a sign that summer is over. Training camp jets,
- 0:50Speaker 1: training camp giants, trains. I hate to say it. It's
- 0:54Speaker 1: almost August, summer, just about it. No, normally you can't
- 0:58Speaker 1: believe the summer is over. But this was not the
- 1:00Speaker 1: most enjoyable summer. You had two vicious heat waves, you
- 1:06Speaker 1: had smog and whatever the hell that was from Canada
- 1:10Speaker 1: all over the place for about five days. But perfect weekend. Hey,
- 1:17Speaker 1: the White House correspondents dinner. Well, now, the President is
- 1:23Speaker 1: the most experienced comedian and roaster of anybody that's ever
- 1:28Speaker 1: been in the White House. Hey, you have presidents with
- 1:31Speaker 1: a good sense of humor. Reagan had a good sense
- 1:33Speaker 1: of humor. George W. Bush did, Bill Clinton a little
- 1:37Speaker 1: bit of a sense of humor, a good sense of humor,
- 1:39Speaker 1: but he wasn't a great joke teller. George W.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Was.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Reagan obviously was a professional. But Trump is the only
- 1:46Speaker 1: one that comes to the White House with tremendous experience
- 1:49Speaker 1: doing roasts through the years. He probably did twenty five
- 1:54Speaker 1: or thirty Friars Club roast. Those were That's like the
- 1:57Speaker 1: major leagues of roasting. I don't mean the ones you
- 2:00Speaker 1: see on TV. I mean the ones in private in
- 2:02Speaker 1: the ballroom. Those are the top roasts of the world.
- 2:05Speaker 1: He literally twenty five or thirty of them, and that
- 2:09Speaker 1: is like the all star game of comedians and roasters.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And he's he held his own there. And then of
- 2:14Speaker 1: course there were the TV roasts. He did a bunch
- 2:16Speaker 1: of those Comedy Central, and there were a million private
- 2:22Speaker 1: roasts that were done. People throw a roaster. I am
- 2:24Speaker 1: seen a lot of them through the years in the nineties,
- 2:27Speaker 1: a lot of Donald Trump roasts and he'd get roasted,
- 2:30Speaker 1: but then he'd have to get up and do a
- 2:32Speaker 1: big ten minute roasting response. So he's the most experienced
- 2:36Speaker 1: roaster ever as president. But somehow he wasn't great Saturday Night. Now.
- 2:42Speaker 1: From what I hear in the original White House Correspondence
- 2:46Speaker 1: did a couple of months ago, he had put together
- 2:49Speaker 1: the greatest roast ever of all the correspondents and all
- 2:53Speaker 1: that stuff. It was unbelievable. It was rough and tough,
- 2:57Speaker 1: but unbelievadb Well, that speech got thrown out. Apparently they
- 3:01Speaker 1: decided it wouldn't be appropriate to do it now after
- 3:03Speaker 1: the violence that took place at the first White House
- 3:07Speaker 1: Correspondences in it, so they got a new one. Now,
- 3:09Speaker 1: this one wasn't very well written. I have a feeling
- 3:12Speaker 1: it was like Steven Miller and a couple others because
- 3:14Speaker 1: many of those jokes are from old nineteen sixties joke books.
- 3:19Speaker 1: So it wasn't a great roast. But I mean, it
- 3:23Speaker 1: was okay, It was okay, It wasn't bad. He made
- 3:26Speaker 1: fun of a lot of things.
- 3:27Speaker 4: But just like my presidency, the second time is always better.
- 3:33Speaker 5: It's always better and the third time will be better.
- 3:36Speaker 6: Yet I'm not.
- 3:41Speaker 4: I'm only kiddy.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. It was just mild, it wasn't it.
- 3:44Speaker 1: And of course he made fun of is this some more?
- 3:46Speaker 4: Everyone's looking really good tonight? And I know it was
- 3:49Speaker 4: not easy finding shoes to go along with your bulletproof vests,
- 3:54Speaker 4: which many people didn't want to wear because they'd rather die.
- 3:58Speaker 4: They'd look twenty pounds heavier, you know that.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Right? Okay, it was okay, but it wasn't great. It
- 4:04Speaker 1: wasn't up to his usual skills. And he did make
- 4:08Speaker 1: fun of Caitlyn Collins, that CNN woman who always never smiles,
- 4:11Speaker 1: looks miserable, and he made fun of I'm trying to
- 4:15Speaker 1: remember who else, a bunch of press people made fun
- 4:18Speaker 1: of the journalists. Now that's normal, every president does that.
- 4:22Speaker 1: But this is Trump. So look at the response. Every
- 4:27Speaker 1: president has done this. In fact, what Trump did was
- 4:30Speaker 1: so mild compared to what other presidents have done. The
- 4:34Speaker 1: Daily Beast Trump savaged people. In fact, there was so bad.
- 4:40Speaker 1: People are calling for this to never happen again. The
- 4:44Speaker 1: wey're actually talking about this. Major major New York Times
- 4:47Speaker 1: writer now saying calling on journalists to rethink this annual
- 4:51Speaker 1: White House Correspondent's dinner. Trump went off on he made
- 4:56Speaker 1: fun of a baker, the White House Times correspondent, Maggie Haberman.
- 5:02Speaker 1: They call it sick and deranged. They are now calling
- 5:06Speaker 1: on the press to not do these dinners anymore. Now,
- 5:11Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the old ones, they
- 5:13Speaker 1: were vicious, vicious. This one what I think it was
- 5:19Speaker 1: Wanda Sykes. She's making fun of rush Limba and she said,
- 5:22Speaker 1: I hope your kidneys fail. And you see Obama sitting
- 5:26Speaker 1: next to her on the day is laughing. I mean,
- 5:28Speaker 1: this is kind of stuff they did back then that
- 5:30Speaker 1: was perfectly fine. But as soon as Trump makes jokes
- 5:32Speaker 1: about them, they're now calling for the whole dinner to
- 5:36Speaker 1: be canceled and never happen again. But the Daily Beast
- 5:39Speaker 1: is a very left wing publication, He said. Trump struggled
- 5:45Speaker 1: to keep his eyes open at the White House dinner.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Sleepy Trump couldn't stay awake. None of this is to
- 5:52Speaker 1: sometimes he did close his but he always does that.
- 5:54Speaker 1: He's been doing that for forty years. Why didn't Melania
- 5:59Speaker 1: miss seriously skip the White House Correspondence dinner? Word is
- 6:04Speaker 1: she knows she's a liability. How is she a liability?
- 6:07Speaker 1: The most beautiful first lady ever. She skips it because
- 6:10Speaker 1: she has no interest in this crap and she has
- 6:12Speaker 1: no interest in trying to be nice to these reporters.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Part of the deal is when you go there, you
- 6:18Speaker 1: got to get there and there's a big thing backstage
- 6:20Speaker 1: where the deis meets, and you gotta shake hands with
- 6:23Speaker 1: everybody and smile. These are people who want to kill you,
- 6:25Speaker 1: that hate you, and you got to be nice to them.
- 6:27Speaker 1: She has no use for that. She's not a professional politician.
- 6:30Speaker 1: They do the same thing at mar A Lago. Why
- 6:32Speaker 1: isn't she a dinner with him? She can't stand the
- 6:34Speaker 1: crowd there. You know that whole you go to mar
- 6:36Speaker 1: A Lago. To get to his table, he's got to
- 6:39Speaker 1: walk through four hundred of those women. How are you
- 6:42Speaker 1: You're just driving crazy. She has no interest in that.
- 6:47Speaker 1: They're given out awards. One of the reasons he Heo
- 6:50Speaker 1: has had his eyes closed. They have such egos, these
- 6:53Speaker 1: uh press people, So for like three four hours, they
- 6:57Speaker 1: give awards to themselves. It's an award for this, an
- 7:00Speaker 1: award for that, another award of this award to that award.
- 7:03Speaker 1: It just keep giving awards. One of them was to
- 7:06Speaker 1: this New York Times group, no excuse me, the Wall
- 7:11Speaker 1: Street Journal group that did that Epstein story that turned
- 7:14Speaker 1: out they have a lot of fake stuff in it.
- 7:16Speaker 1: They had a fake letter from Trump with a fake drawing,
- 7:19Speaker 1: and if remember all that stupid to give an award
- 7:21Speaker 1: to that, So he had to sit through all of that.
- 7:26Speaker 1: They just packed themselves on the back for a couple
- 7:28Speaker 1: of hours. So it's and also it was a scaled
- 7:33Speaker 1: down dinner. It was much smaller than the original and
- 7:36Speaker 1: all the previous White House correspondence dinners held at the
- 7:39Speaker 1: Hilton because that has the biggest ballroom you can put
- 7:43Speaker 1: twenty five hundred people in there. And they moved it
- 7:48Speaker 1: for security reasons after that shooting there. It's pretty clear
- 7:51Speaker 1: security problems at that Hilton. So they moved it to
- 7:54Speaker 1: what's called the Waldorf Astoria in Washington. It's actually the
- 7:58Speaker 1: Trump Hotel, that beautiful, magnificent hotel Trump built before it
- 8:03Speaker 1: becoming president. He realized Washington, d C. Did not have
- 8:06Speaker 1: one great hotel. They have some stately old hotels like
- 8:10Speaker 1: the Willard and you know a couple of those, but
- 8:13Speaker 1: they're old, they're cute, to stay in, but they don't
- 8:16Speaker 1: have big ballrooms. And the Hilton has a big ballroom,
- 8:19Speaker 1: but it's not the classiest place. So he decided to
- 8:22Speaker 1: build an absolute five star, magnificent hotel, and he did
- 8:26Speaker 1: the Trump Hotel. And you remember in his first term,
- 8:28Speaker 1: it was like the meeting place. Besides the massive ballroom,
- 8:33Speaker 1: there was a huge lobby with a restaurant and nets
- 8:35Speaker 1: where everybody would hang out looking to meet everybody. So
- 8:40Speaker 1: he built it. It was incredible. After the first term,
- 8:44Speaker 1: he sold it. Waldorf bought it for a fortune. Trump
- 8:49Speaker 1: made a lot of money on that and it's now
- 8:50Speaker 1: called the Waldorf Astoria. So he loved the hotel. He
- 8:55Speaker 1: talked about He talked about what a great hotel it was.
- 8:59Speaker 5: Let me say it, but it's great to be back
- 9:02Speaker 5: at a place that I know very well because I
- 9:04Speaker 5: built it. And I'm very proud of it because I
- 9:11Speaker 5: built it for two point nine billion dollars less than
- 9:14Speaker 5: the Federal Reserve Building, which is.
- 9:16Speaker 1: A lot smaller by the way.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Yeah, figure that one out.
- 9:20Speaker 1: This tiny, crappy fed building. Three billion. He built the
- 9:24Speaker 1: most magnificent hotel ever in Washington. It's a hotel eight
- 9:27Speaker 1: hundred million. What a difference. So let's see, here's media.
- 9:31Speaker 1: There's another real left wing and I'm going after him,
- 9:34Speaker 1: going crazy. Hey, yesterday on truth Social he put up
- 9:38Speaker 1: a very funny picture of the US Canada border with
- 9:42Speaker 1: a wall. But it's not really a wall. If you look,
- 9:45Speaker 1: it's one big long air conditioning filter. Now, that's pretty cute.
- 9:49Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. After that filthy air came here, here's
- 9:55Speaker 1: the here's the here's the fake news. Trump posts bonkers
- 9:59Speaker 1: AI image of Canada bonkers. It was actually pretty cute
- 10:04Speaker 1: and pretty funny. I don't know who could think that
- 10:05Speaker 1: was bonkers. Hey, Iran, we're in a pause right now.
- 10:10Speaker 1: If you're a Democrat, you might want to turn off
- 10:13Speaker 1: the radio for a second. If you're a Democrat, we
- 10:15Speaker 1: have bad news. Let me just check. Let me get
- 10:18Speaker 1: an update here. Price of oil is dropping, really dropping.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Price of oil way down over the weekend. It's down
- 10:25Speaker 1: another six dollars right now. Price of oil dropping. Now,
- 10:30Speaker 1: remember if we go back to war. When we did
- 10:35Speaker 1: the second time recently, oil did not spike up as
- 10:38Speaker 1: much as the first time, so it'll spike up even
- 10:40Speaker 1: less the third time. So price of oil doing very well. Hey,
- 10:44Speaker 1: crazy mom, Donnie this, I mean, he's clearly anti Semitic.
- 10:51Speaker 1: He's clearly it's not just anti Semitic, he's clearly obsessed
- 10:55Speaker 1: with it, and he can't stop talking about it. Now
- 10:59Speaker 1: anti Semitic, well, let's they'll say, well, I'm rather than
- 11:03Speaker 1: just anti Israel, I'm anti Well that's the anti Semitic.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It's just a it's a code way of saying anti Semitic.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Mam Donnie trying to talk his way out of that.
- 11:12Speaker 7: I want to make very clear that my criticisms of
- 11:14Speaker 7: prime Minist Revengement net Now are of specifically prime Minist
- 11:18Speaker 7: Revengement Now, and any criticisms of any foreign state should
- 11:22Speaker 7: never be confused for criticisms of a people or of
- 11:24Speaker 7: a faith. And my responsibility as the mayor of the
- 11:27Speaker 7: city is to every New Yorker, no matter their faith,
- 11:30Speaker 7: their background, or frankly their politics.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's why you say the anti semis and Mamdani,
- 11:38Speaker 1: I mean, all these people, they kind of they're really
- 11:40Speaker 1: white supremacists because if you study white supremacists, one.
- 11:44Speaker 8: Of their core core core.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Components is anti Semitism. So he really isn't the white
- 11:50Speaker 1: supremacist the category here because anti Semitism big part of
- 11:54Speaker 1: white supremacy. So they'll say, well, I'm just anti Israel.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Nobody buying it for a second.
- 12:01Speaker 7: There's no tolerance for anti Semitism in this city. We
- 12:04Speaker 7: have to root out anti semitism from across the five boroughs,
- 12:06Speaker 7: and that's because this is a city that is one
- 12:09Speaker 7: that has no room for hate or bigotry of any kind.
- 12:12Speaker 7: And when we make criticisms of a nation state or policies,
- 12:15Speaker 7: we have to remember that those are criticisms of exactly that,
- 12:18Speaker 7: never of a people, never of a faith.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Now you're saying, what, Bob, that sounds pretty good. What's
- 12:23Speaker 1: wrong with that? Well, what's wrong with that is after
- 12:26Speaker 1: his arrest Net and Yahoo crap, we had a horrible,
- 12:31Speaker 1: horrible anti Semitic attack on the Upper West Side with
- 12:34Speaker 1: a guy stabbing and somebody with a yamaka, and he's
- 12:37Speaker 1: just horrible hate crime. So he got a lot of
- 12:39Speaker 1: flack over the weekend. So that's why he said what
- 12:41Speaker 1: you just heard. That's after two days of three days
- 12:44Speaker 1: of real flack. He's trying to fight back on that,
- 12:47Speaker 1: but he's got a real problem. And this arrest Net
- 12:51Speaker 1: and Yahoo thing, which was just preposterous. Net Yaho's been
- 12:54Speaker 1: speaking out about it now.
- 12:55Speaker 9: I speak to Jewish Americans in New York and they're
- 12:58Speaker 9: afraid right now. And I don't I think it's occidental
- 13:01Speaker 9: that after he made this hate speech against Israel and
- 13:04Speaker 9: against me, the next day a Jewish stabbed coming out
- 13:08Speaker 9: of a synagogue, I think, and with a cry of
- 13:10Speaker 9: allah's akaba, allah akaba, and you know what that means.
- 13:15Speaker 1: So that's why mom Donni's suddenly pretending he's against anti Semitism,
- 13:19Speaker 1: which he's not.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Clearly.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You know who described him in the Socialists, These Democratic
- 13:26Speaker 1: Socialists units have really smart guy Scott Bessentt. Brilliant guy.
- 13:30Speaker 1: But listen him explain it.
- 13:31Speaker 10: In New York, the current mayor rose to power by
- 13:35Speaker 10: repackaging failed ideals of the past as a moral cause
- 13:39Speaker 10: of the future. But in Georgia, you know, the beneath
- 13:43Speaker 10: that youthful veneer was the oldest impulse in politics, which
- 13:48Speaker 10: is to concentrate power and then call it compassion.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I think now that's what it's really about. Concentrate power.
- 13:57Speaker 1: That's why government supermarkets, that's why government housing, that's why
- 14:01Speaker 1: government welfare, that's why it's a way of getting you
- 14:05Speaker 1: totally dependent on them, dramatically increasing their power over your life.
- 14:10Speaker 1: That's what it really is, concentrating power and getting more control. Hey,
- 14:16Speaker 1: big announcement. No, I'll listen to this, big announcement. Starting
- 14:23Speaker 1: next week, this show. No, it's not been canceled. This
- 14:30Speaker 1: show will expand we're going to add an hour. Instead
- 14:35Speaker 1: of ten to noon, it will be nine to noon
- 14:38Speaker 1: every day, we'll start at nine o'clock. Now you're saying, wow,
- 14:45Speaker 1: that's great, what a reward. No, this means I got
- 14:49Speaker 1: to get up an hour earlier. Believe me, it wasn't
- 14:52Speaker 1: my idea. But nine to noon. Starting Monday, a week
- 14:57Speaker 1: from today, the show will be nine to noon. You'll
- 14:59Speaker 1: get an extra so remember to tune in nine. Again,
- 15:03Speaker 1: it wasn't my idea. There's been a push for this
- 15:06Speaker 1: for years, which I've been resisting, but everybody persuaded me
- 15:11Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. For one reason is,
- 15:15Speaker 1: as you know, we got a lot of commercials. In fact,
- 15:17Speaker 1: sometimes you notice those commercial breaks get a little too long.
- 15:21Speaker 1: They get to be five, six, seven minutes that we
- 15:23Speaker 1: have to go down and yell at the sales department,
- 15:26Speaker 1: no long break, keep it short, but there's lots and
- 15:31Speaker 1: lots and lots of advertisers. See, advertisers do very well
- 15:34Speaker 1: on this show, so we got plenty that we can't
- 15:36Speaker 1: even get on. They're like waiting to get on. So
- 15:39Speaker 1: that's why we want to add an hour. That's one
- 15:42Speaker 1: big reason. That way we can get the rest of
- 15:44Speaker 1: those advertisers in an hour, gives us more time for
- 15:48Speaker 1: all that. Also, listeners have wanted We've been hearing that
- 15:52Speaker 1: a lot. Also, every other show in the station is
- 15:55Speaker 1: three hours, so this makes it a little more uniform. Anyway,
- 16:00Speaker 1: the demand was overwhelming, and so we're going to do
- 16:03Speaker 1: it starting a week from today. Starting next Monday, the
- 16:06Speaker 1: show will be nine to noon every day. If you're
- 16:09Speaker 1: a podcast listener, you'll get an extra hour of podcast
- 16:12Speaker 1: to listen to every day. So we'll take some calls next.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Let me know what you think. I'll take some calls next.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Welcome back
- 16:26Speaker 1: to the Mark Simone Show.
- 16:28Speaker 5: Live from the wr Life Back studios.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
- 16:37Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to doctor
- 16:39Speaker 1: Bob in Long Island, Doctor Bob, how you doing, Hey.
- 16:42Speaker 11: Mark, Mark, congratulations and it's a gift to us that
- 16:45Speaker 11: you're on the extra hours.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I'm happy to do it. But everybody keeps saying congratulations.
- 16:50Speaker 1: This means getting up an hour earlier.
- 16:52Speaker 11: I know, I know that award you got a several
- 16:55Speaker 11: weeks back. We're proud of you for that too. I
- 16:57Speaker 11: think it's fabulous and it's a gift to all of
- 16:59Speaker 11: us to have you on. Meanwhile, you know this, uh uh,
- 17:03Speaker 11: the nine to eleven twenty fifth anniversary. I think it's
- 17:07Speaker 11: a very important thing. The grieving families from nine to
- 17:10Speaker 11: eleven started a petition to get Modamie not to be
- 17:14Speaker 11: down there. I think it's very important that we back
- 17:16Speaker 11: up that petition.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Well, obviously we know we do, but he has said
- 17:20Speaker 1: he will be there.
- 17:21Speaker 11: He absolutely, Well, there's got to be a way to
- 17:22Speaker 11: prevent it, because.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Well, maybe have yeah who come, Maybe have net yeah
- 17:27Speaker 1: who come, arrest them or something like that. Anyway, thanks
- 17:29Speaker 1: for calling. Yeah, nobody wants them there, and it's going
- 17:32Speaker 1: to be interesting. I think he'd better rethink this. He
- 17:36Speaker 1: absolutely says he will be there and he will stand
- 17:39Speaker 1: with the nine to eleven families. Now they're going to
- 17:41Speaker 1: do one of those turn their back on him. They'll
- 17:44Speaker 1: turn their back on them, and it's not going to
- 17:47Speaker 1: be good for him. Remember Deblasio tried that with the
- 17:49Speaker 1: police and they all turn their back and it was
- 17:51Speaker 1: damaging the Deblasio. So the mayor should rethink this. Let's
- 17:55Speaker 1: go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark.
- 17:59Speaker 12: Yes, Mike, this this extra hour constitutes a major change.
- 18:04Speaker 2: In my life.
- 18:06Speaker 12: I'm not sure if it's for the good, but it's great.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Well, but I see I have to get up an
- 18:10Speaker 1: hour earlier. You live in Florida where you all get
- 18:12Speaker 1: up at five am.
- 18:14Speaker 12: Well, that's true, And then also point out how pathetical
- 18:19Speaker 12: my life is.
- 18:20Speaker 1: It's not just you, everybody in Florida. You're all over
- 18:23Speaker 1: book or at on any place. They're up at five.
- 18:26Speaker 1: They're waiting, like for the Starbucks to open at six
- 18:28Speaker 1: they're standing outside.
- 18:29Speaker 12: It, right, and the happy hour they have to get
- 18:33Speaker 12: to the free samples at Sam's Club into happy hour
- 18:35Speaker 12: so they can leave promptly at six pm when happy
- 18:38Speaker 12: hours over.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yeah, hilarious, it's cheaper, But you know, I don't understand
- 18:43Speaker 1: why Starbucks doesn't see this phenomenon and just have all
- 18:46Speaker 1: their Florida locations open at four am.
- 18:49Speaker 12: It's beyond me because and the funny thing is they
- 18:52Speaker 12: could close at ten because everybody's back inside by ten minutes,
- 18:55Speaker 12: you know, when it gets too occard for them to
- 18:57Speaker 12: do anything. Well, but you know, I was gonna mention
- 19:01Speaker 12: that the press and these liberal politicians all have glass jaws.
- 19:05Speaker 12: You know, none of them could take a punch. They
- 19:07Speaker 12: can audish it out, but none of them can take,
- 19:09Speaker 12: you know, take it when it's you know, giving back
- 19:11Speaker 12: to them, like, which is why they hate Trump so much.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Well, but it's it's Trump arrangements because Bush would make
- 19:17Speaker 1: fun of the press, Reagan would make fun of the press.
- 19:19Speaker 1: They just hate Trump so much that if he does
- 19:21Speaker 1: anything normal that any president does, it's suddenly the worst
- 19:24Speaker 1: crisis in the world.
- 19:26Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Mike, thanks for I know you're on your way to lunch.
- 19:29Speaker 1: It's ten thirty.
- 19:31Speaker 12: Pleas a free sample.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Thanks for Colin. Let's go to Alex in Levittown. Alex
- 19:37Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 19:39Speaker 13: Hi?
- 19:40Speaker 2: How are you there? Mark?
- 19:41Speaker 1: Good?
- 19:42Speaker 2: And thanks for the extra iver love listening to you.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Thanks just gonna make me un known about the mayor
- 19:47Speaker 2: because he appointed I've written the paper. He appointed eighteen
- 19:50Speaker 2: members to the advisory committee under judiciary and doesn't seem
- 19:55Speaker 2: to be one Jewish person on that Listen, they decide
- 19:58Speaker 2: about judge ships and other appointments.
- 20:02Speaker 1: You're talking about the mayor.
- 20:03Speaker 2: One Jewish person on that committee about the mayor, Yes, don.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you were looking. You were looking for the Mom
- 20:09Speaker 1: Donnie to put Jewish people on the committee.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Committee. There's so many Jewish judges, not one. I understand committee.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Because Mom Donnie is the biggest anti semi we've ever
- 20:21Speaker 1: had it. I know, So I know.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I don't know what's what's gonna happen to us in
- 20:26Speaker 2: the next three and a half years.
- 20:28Speaker 1: Well, we survived a lot of things. We'll survive this guy.
- 20:31Speaker 1: But thanks for calling. You know who loves Mom Donnie.
- 20:34Speaker 1: The Blasio and Adams. You know why, because suddenly nobody
- 20:37Speaker 1: can call them bad mayors anymore. They were LaGuardia compared
- 20:41Speaker 1: to this guy. It's like when Joe Biden came along,
- 20:45Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter was so happy because he was always referred
- 20:49Speaker 1: to as the worst president ever. Once Biden showed up,
- 20:51Speaker 1: Carter never had to worry again. Take one more call,
- 20:54Speaker 1: Neil in Brooklyn. What do you want to say, Neil?
- 20:57Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 20:57Speaker 14: Yeah, as someone who always enjoyed the the corresponds. Then,
- 21:01Speaker 14: no matter who the president was, when they had the
- 21:05Speaker 14: violence at their last one and they all went to
- 21:07Speaker 14: the press room later, I think that Trump thought there
- 21:11Speaker 14: was a tent between him and the press, and that's
- 21:15Speaker 14: why he happily went and rearranged to have this new one.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I know you're right. He Trump, and he
- 21:24Speaker 1: talks to the press. If Maggie Harman calls, he takes
- 21:26Speaker 1: the call. He always gets on the phone with them.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Jonathan Carl He always thinks he's going to win them
- 21:31Speaker 1: over at some point. You know, he's the greatest salesman.
- 21:35Speaker 1: He thinks at some point he's going to win them over.
- 21:37Speaker 1: You know. Seems a little silly, but that kind of optimism,
- 21:42Speaker 1: I guess if you need to be a great entrepreneur. Hey,
- 21:45Speaker 1: when we come back, the greatest poster in the world,
- 21:48Speaker 1: not these fake public poles. These are the real, deadly
- 21:51Speaker 1: accurate polls. The candidates choose the ones behind the scenes.
- 21:54Speaker 1: We'll talk to the best of them all. John McLaughlin
- 21:57Speaker 1: about the midterms, about all sorts of things coming up
- 22:00Speaker 1: next on seven to ten WR. The Mark Simone Show
- 22:04Speaker 1: continues on sevent ten WR. Well do you see all
- 22:10Speaker 1: these public polls, you know, these college polls, media polls,
- 22:13Speaker 1: and this mostly just junk. They're cheap, they're flimsy, they
- 22:17Speaker 1: don't talk to a lot of people, they don't talk
- 22:18Speaker 1: to the right people. They're often biased and slanted. Now
- 22:21Speaker 1: behind the scenes, you got the real polls, the ones
- 22:23Speaker 1: the candidates use. They cost a lot of money, they're
- 22:26Speaker 1: much more sophisticated. And the best poster of all is
- 22:29Speaker 1: John McLaughlin.
- 22:31Speaker 5: Uh.
- 22:31Speaker 1: And you can go to his website McLachlan online dot com.
- 22:36Speaker 1: John McLaughlin and the company do the best polls in
- 22:38Speaker 1: the world that work for presidents and all the top candidates.
- 22:41Speaker 1: John McLachlin, how you doing.
- 22:43Speaker 3: I'm doing well, and uh, thank you for the flattering remarks.
- 22:47Speaker 3: And as long as Donald Trump's president, I'll take it go, Yury.
- 22:50Speaker 1: It's good I should point out yours polster as well
- 22:53Speaker 1: as many other presidents all over the world. Hey, I'm
- 22:56Speaker 1: watching the Morning Joe, and apparently the Republican are way
- 23:00Speaker 1: behind in the midterms. They're going to get wiped out
- 23:02Speaker 1: everywhere and of course, morning Joe, what's the real story.
- 23:05Speaker 3: By the way, if you go to our website, you
- 23:07Speaker 3: just said at McLaughlan online dot com, we posted national
- 23:10Speaker 3: numbers on Friday, thousand likely voters of a survey that
- 23:15Speaker 3: was completed until you know that Thursday, so it was
- 23:19Speaker 3: just completed. We posted on Friday. And the president has
- 23:24Speaker 3: a forty nine percent job approval, forty seven disapproved, so
- 23:27Speaker 3: he's so he's hanging around fifty percent, and it's pretty
- 23:30Speaker 3: static because his base is rock solid. We could do
- 23:34Speaker 3: better in the center. We could raise our numbers among
- 23:36Speaker 3: independents and some other voters that we created our coalition.
- 23:41Speaker 3: They I mean, he won with fifty percent. A lot
- 23:43Speaker 3: of these polls that get the media quotes, they're polls
- 23:46Speaker 3: of adults, they're polls of registered voters. They're not likely
- 23:50Speaker 3: voters to turnout. Was one hundred and fifty five million
- 23:53Speaker 3: where he ran for president and we got fifty percent
- 23:55Speaker 3: of the popular vote. And then you see polls like economists,
- 23:58Speaker 3: you gov and they're saying, you know, it's terrible, you know,
- 24:01Speaker 3: I have these biased word of questions. Don't only have
- 24:04Speaker 3: thirty three thirty four percent people who said they voted
- 24:07Speaker 3: for Trump in twenty twenty four which which means like,
- 24:11Speaker 3: can we get fifty percent? So they go out of
- 24:15Speaker 3: their way to find people that don't like the president
- 24:19Speaker 3: and put them in their polls, and then they try
- 24:21Speaker 3: to say Vegas that we're going to lose this selection.
- 24:23Speaker 13: Now.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but let me explain that to people. Two things.
- 24:26Speaker 1: You use likely voters, which is hard to find. They
- 24:29Speaker 1: just say adults, which means they can do it in
- 24:31Speaker 1: the faculty lounge of Columbia. Then they they don't put
- 24:36Speaker 1: enough Republicans in the sample. So but I interrupted, But
- 24:40Speaker 1: go ahead, No, that's all right.
- 24:42Speaker 3: But because you put in context your listeners, they'd rather
- 24:46Speaker 3: listen to you understand your listeners. So, but you put
- 24:50Speaker 3: in context because they they literally they can have illegal
- 24:54Speaker 3: immigrants in their polls. When they pull adults, they're just
- 24:56Speaker 3: randomly call cell phones and if they call one of
- 25:00Speaker 3: them are online surveys of people that are paid to
- 25:03Speaker 3: take them online. But we have to do it by voters.
- 25:07Speaker 3: We call voters and we ask them if they're likely
- 25:09Speaker 3: to vote, because for president, you had to earn fifty
- 25:12Speaker 3: five million voters come out in twenty eighteen in the
- 25:15Speaker 3: midterm you had to hundred eighteen million nationwide. In twenty
- 25:19Speaker 3: twenty two, you had to hun twelve million. So you're
- 25:22Speaker 3: not going to get the same turnout. And the key
- 25:24Speaker 3: thing for the Republicans is my generic ballot still has
- 25:28Speaker 3: the Democrats ahead by two points. Really yeah, yeah, as
- 25:32Speaker 3: they're leading forty four to forty six because there's a
- 25:36Speaker 3: gap between Trump's job approval and the Republicans. Because the
- 25:40Speaker 3: President wants to do things like voter ID proof of
- 25:43Speaker 3: citizenship to vote, the Republicans in the Senate aren't moving it,
- 25:47Speaker 3: so some Trump voters may not come out, they may
- 25:49Speaker 3: not vote for them. And the same thing, like there's
- 25:52Speaker 3: a lot of people like Larry Cudlow and myself and
- 25:54Speaker 3: others who think we need another tax cut, we need
- 25:56Speaker 3: pro growth tax cuts to help people, you know, drow
- 26:00Speaker 3: out of inflation. And you know we've got like sixty
- 26:03Speaker 3: one percent one of an index taxes for inflation, you've
- 26:08Speaker 3: got uh sixty eight percent. Want to collapse the brackets
- 26:13Speaker 3: so that people under two hundred gram only two hundred
- 26:16Speaker 3: thousand a year only make only pay twelve percent federal
- 26:20Speaker 3: taxes instead of twenty two. So those are really good
- 26:22Speaker 3: ideas that we can't get the Republicans in the Senate.
- 26:26Speaker 1: To move Yeah, and Larry Cudlow's absolutely right. The Republicans
- 26:30Speaker 1: right now the messaging stinks. They don't have any right now.
- 26:33Speaker 3: No, no, I'm one of the people. Even though you know,
- 26:37Speaker 3: the president's not running for reelection, although he did, like
- 26:39Speaker 3: just had the correspondence dinner when he said that he
- 26:44Speaker 3: was wearing a twenty twenty eight at he does that
- 26:46Speaker 3: to get a ride out of the president. But he's
- 26:49Speaker 3: he can't run again, so you know he won't be
- 26:52Speaker 3: on the ballot. So in November, the Republicans need to
- 26:56Speaker 3: get every Trump voter out that seventy seven million that
- 26:59Speaker 3: voted for Trump. We need to motivate it to come
- 27:01Speaker 3: out that they come out at higher levels than the
- 27:04Speaker 3: seventy five million the voter for House and that's what
- 27:07Speaker 3: decides the election. And by the way, you're seeing in
- 27:10Speaker 3: places like here in New York where most voters don't
- 27:13Speaker 3: like Kathy Huckel and in the beginning of the month
- 27:18Speaker 3: it was a poll by coefficient Independent Paul had Bruce
- 27:21Speaker 3: Blakeman only down six points. So you're seeing it in
- 27:25Speaker 3: certain races around the country where the Democrats are not liked,
- 27:29Speaker 3: and you know Mayor Mandami, he's not liked in the suburbs.
- 27:34Speaker 3: He's not liked upstate, you know, and he's raising his
- 27:38Speaker 3: negatives in particularly the attleboroughs. So you may see some
- 27:44Speaker 3: trends that where we bucked the midterm. We bucked the
- 27:48Speaker 3: midterm election. But you know, two thousand and two Republicans
- 27:52Speaker 3: picked up eight House seats and picked up two Senate
- 27:55Speaker 3: seats in a midterm. We could do it again.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Yeah. Now you're also Bruce Blakeman's poster correct.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And Bruce is doing very well, working really hard.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Yeah. Now he has been climbing. Didn't he start like
- 28:07Speaker 1: twenty points behind and now he's six.
- 28:09Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that. But that's typicult for him. I
- 28:12Speaker 3: mean yeah, when he got for carrying exec when he
- 28:14Speaker 3: got in that race back in twenty one, he was
- 28:17Speaker 3: down twenty four points in March and he won.
- 28:20Speaker 2: You know, he won.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Then in November he came back from twenty four points down.
- 28:23Speaker 3: So this one, yeah, he was down twenty points. We
- 28:25Speaker 3: had him in a statewide Paul that was released in March,
- 28:28Speaker 3: he was down nine. This other Poul has him down
- 28:30Speaker 3: six and Governor Huckel has a lot more powerful incumbancy.
- 28:34Speaker 3: But she's just you know, the utility builds are too high,
- 28:37Speaker 3: taxes are too high, the you know, the state and
- 28:40Speaker 3: the city or in deficits and people know that means
- 28:42Speaker 3: future taxes and crime is going on. Then you've seen
- 28:45Speaker 3: you know, this just tragedy last week where the mayor's
- 28:48Speaker 3: attacking Israel and one of my other clients prime minister.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Then yeah, he attacks him personally because he's trying to
- 28:54Speaker 3: beat him in Israel. But then but then you know,
- 28:58Speaker 3: the next day you get two people stabbed. Poor guy
- 29:01Speaker 3: was wearing Yamica and he got stabbed in New York.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Because I'm sure this is one Mndamie's plan is he's
- 29:06Speaker 3: got to run for reelection. He knows that he loses
- 29:09Speaker 3: the Jewish vote. He wants to create a place, a
- 29:12Speaker 3: city where Jewish voters leave the city and it's it's
- 29:16Speaker 3: it's they're afraid. And you know he's doing this intentionally.
- 29:20Speaker 3: He's a really bad guy. Just you know, it's it's
- 29:23Speaker 3: one thing to dislike people based on what their views
- 29:27Speaker 3: are that you ideologically disagree, et cetera. It's another thing
- 29:31Speaker 3: to dislike people because of who they are. Because once
- 29:33Speaker 3: you'd start disliking Jews, then it's the next thing, I
- 29:36Speaker 3: be Blacks and Italians and whatever. He just, you know,
- 29:41Speaker 3: he'll just it's it's sad because New York City, that's
- 29:44Speaker 3: that's against their tradition. So New York State, we have
- 29:48Speaker 3: different values, different things. But by the way, one good
- 29:51Speaker 3: note from the survey that we had, we asked the
- 29:54Speaker 3: question nationally, all things being equal, for Congress, do you
- 29:57Speaker 3: support a Republican candidate who supports remarket capitalism or are
- 30:01Speaker 3: you going to vote for a Democrat candidate who supports
- 30:04Speaker 3: big government socialism. The Republican in that case, if they
- 30:07Speaker 3: stand for free market capitalism versus a big government socialist,
- 30:11Speaker 3: they win forty nine to thirty six. Wow, And they
- 30:13Speaker 3: went among independents, they went among But they got to
- 30:16Speaker 3: frame the race. They got to have a message. You
- 30:18Speaker 3: know what, but you will Larry've talked about is right.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Now the president coast of Michigan today where you got
- 30:24Speaker 1: some crazy socialist in the race there. But that's the heartland,
- 30:27Speaker 1: that's the middle of America, Michigan. A socialist isn't going
- 30:30Speaker 1: to win that, are they?
- 30:32Speaker 3: Well, Democrats tend to win, but Mike Rodgers is an
- 30:35Speaker 3: excellent candidate for the Republicans, but you got a tough
- 30:38Speaker 3: primary between Haley Stevens, is a very liberal Democrat, and
- 30:43Speaker 3: Al Sayad, who's a Democrat socialist who has some pretty
- 30:48Speaker 3: radical views. So, I mean, the cancer of big government
- 30:52Speaker 3: socialism is spreading. Whether it's Maine. Although Platner had to
- 30:55Speaker 3: step down, they found another, the radical Tall Rico in Texas, US.
- 31:00Speaker 3: So the Democrats are they're getting beaten their own primaries
- 31:04Speaker 3: by these Democrats socialists, and they're knocking off you know,
- 31:08Speaker 3: like you saw the Congressman spiac kept beating in New
- 31:12Speaker 3: York by one of Mandami's people. You saw, you know,
- 31:15Speaker 3: Brad Landers knock off Dan Goldman. I mean, those are
- 31:17Speaker 3: mainstream liberals getting knocked off by these big government socialists.
- 31:23Speaker 3: So the Democrat Party is really going off the edge
- 31:25Speaker 3: of the earth. It's really bad.
- 31:27Speaker 1: You mentioned who you're his upholster. He's got a reelection
- 31:31Speaker 1: coming up. He's okay in that right, he's going to win.
- 31:34Speaker 3: It's always tough until the end, so he'll at the
- 31:37Speaker 3: end of October, they'll be an election in Israel, and
- 31:40Speaker 3: it's they have. It's a more complex system where you
- 31:44Speaker 3: have a lot of multiple parties. But it seems that
- 31:48Speaker 3: his opponents can't beat him without doing a coalition with
- 31:52Speaker 3: Arab parties that are you know the last time they
- 31:56Speaker 3: were in power, That's how bav got re elected again.
- 31:58Speaker 3: He was out of power for a year and then
- 32:01Speaker 3: you know the government coalition they had there because you
- 32:04Speaker 3: know security here, we have a very strong national security.
- 32:08Speaker 3: We have the finest military in the world. It's a
- 32:10Speaker 3: dangerous world out there. When you live in Israel, all
- 32:13Speaker 3: your neighbors want to kill you. They're literally a small country.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Yeah, Johncglacka, we only got a couple of sets. Make
- 32:19Speaker 1: thirty seconds. Jerry Nadler, that fat waddling slab is leaving.
- 32:23Speaker 1: There's a very attractive young republic really feel about him.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Republican candidate the Caroline Shinkle, does she have anych Does
- 32:31Speaker 1: a Republican have any shot in that district?
- 32:34Speaker 3: You know, if if she if I've heard I've met
- 32:39Speaker 3: her briefly. She seems like a very very strong qualified
- 32:42Speaker 3: candidate and she would have a shot in that if
- 32:46Speaker 3: she could get the resources and the Republicans in their
- 32:50Speaker 3: party they have a lot of the I mean you
- 32:53Speaker 3: have it by the way you have a good candidate
- 32:56Speaker 3: against AOC in Dimont. But but you have Shinkle running
- 33:03Speaker 3: and the Republicans have a lot of money. They've got
- 33:05Speaker 3: to they got to invest in some of these long
- 33:06Speaker 3: shot races to uh to put the Democrats back on defense.
- 33:10Speaker 3: But you know, right right now, I mean you see
- 33:13Speaker 3: going on. It's it's it's in New York City. It's
- 33:16Speaker 3: it's it's a change that it's changing the character of
- 33:21Speaker 3: the city, which is not good. Well, you know, as
- 33:24Speaker 3: we come into twenty five years after nine to eleven,
- 33:26Speaker 3: I got to remember a lot of friends of ours
- 33:29Speaker 3: and you know, and now you've got a lot of
- 33:30Speaker 3: men and women uh in the military, and this poor
- 33:33Speaker 3: woman from Queens was killed by these terrorists, uh, and
- 33:36Speaker 3: they're gonna have a more for her.
- 33:38Speaker 1: So well, John McLoughlin, we got we're out of time.

- 35:07Speaker 1: starting an hour earlier, which means I have to get
- 35:11Speaker 1: up an hour earlier. But the audience seems to be
- 35:14Speaker 1: very excited about it, thrilled about it. We've got a
- 35:18Speaker 1: lot of advertisers who wait in line to get on,
- 35:20Speaker 1: so this will fix that problem. And well, you're gonna
- 35:24Speaker 1: love it. It'll be nine to noon starting a week
- 35:27Speaker 1: from today, starting Monday, back after the news on seven
- 35:30Speaker 1: to ten WR now more marks alone on seventenr. Well,
- 35:40Speaker 1: if you drink tea, don't go away. I gotta tell
- 35:42Speaker 1: you something. We'll get to the DNC. They're in real trouble.
- 35:46Speaker 1: We'll get that crazy little worm, doctor Fauci. Well, we
- 35:51Speaker 1: made the big announcement last hour. This program will expand
- 35:57Speaker 1: one hour. It's going to be nine to noon starting
- 36:01Speaker 1: next week. A week from today, starting Monday, the show
- 36:04Speaker 1: will start an hour earlier, nine to noon, and it'll
- 36:09Speaker 1: be three hours, not two. And everybody's saying congratulations. I
- 36:13Speaker 1: walk down the hall, everybody, Hey, congratulations, congratulations. It means
- 36:17Speaker 1: I got to get up an hour earlier. But it's
- 36:21Speaker 1: been a push for this for years. I've been avoiding it.
- 36:23Speaker 1: But by popular demand, the show will expand an hour.
- 36:30Speaker 1: It'll be nine to noon starting next Monday. So you'll
- 36:33Speaker 1: be able to listen in not three hours, and it
- 36:35Speaker 1: starts at nine. I just saw they sent out a
- 36:38Speaker 1: press release. WOR has announced today a long term contract
- 36:47Speaker 1: with legendary radio Personnality. Oh see, that's the other deal.
- 36:52Speaker 1: It's a longer contract. I think I had a year
- 36:54Speaker 1: and a half left. This is like a long contract,
- 36:58Speaker 1: so you are stuck with me for a while. But
- 37:01Speaker 1: and of course they opened up the check book. It
- 37:03Speaker 1: came through. But it's a long term contract. It said,
- 37:09Speaker 1: one of the most recognizable voices will remain on the
- 37:11Speaker 1: air for years to come. And let's see it goes
- 37:15Speaker 1: on and no, no, no, it's all flattering stuff here, but
- 37:18Speaker 1: we don't need to read all that. But starting Monday
- 37:22Speaker 1: nine to noon. You see, I had this all worked
- 37:24Speaker 1: out perfectly. Every show's three hours, but this show was
- 37:26Speaker 1: two hours. It was perfect ten o'clock. And believe me,
- 37:31Speaker 1: it wasn't easy for me to get up early enough
- 37:33Speaker 1: to get here at ten o'clock. I'm used to sleep
- 37:35Speaker 1: until ten eleven o'clock like a normal person. But so
- 37:39Speaker 1: I have to get up an hour earlier. I suppose
- 37:41Speaker 1: it can be done. I should start practicing this week.
- 37:44Speaker 1: So starting Monday nine to noon, every day nine to noon. Now,
- 37:48Speaker 1: if you're a podcast listener, means you'll get an extra
- 37:51Speaker 1: hour on your podcast, So don't forget starting Monday. Hey,
- 37:57Speaker 1: let me play this again. This is Scott Bessen who's
- 38:01Speaker 1: talking about mom Donnie and these crazy socialists communists, the
- 38:06Speaker 1: same thing, these crazy communists, socialists, They got one running
- 38:11Speaker 1: in Michigan today, President Trump flying the Michigan to try
- 38:16Speaker 1: to prevent that from that person from being elected. But
- 38:20Speaker 1: listen to best and explain it perfectly what this socialism
- 38:22Speaker 1: is all about. You know, government grocery stores, government buses,
- 38:25Speaker 1: government dic government. What's that really all about?
- 38:28Speaker 10: In New York, the current mayor rose to power by
- 38:32Speaker 10: repackaging failed ideals of.
- 38:34Speaker 1: The past as a moral cause of the future.
- 38:37Speaker 10: But in Georgia, you know, the beneath that youthful veneer
- 38:41Speaker 10: lies the oldest impulse in politics, which is to concentrate
- 38:46Speaker 10: power and then call it compassion.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:49Speaker 1: See, that's it, That's what it really is all about.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Why would the government housing, why government grocery stource. It
- 38:55Speaker 1: concentrates power. You become totally dependent on them for the
- 39:01Speaker 1: simplest things that used to be everywhere. Now it's only
- 39:03Speaker 1: the government that can hand it to you. It's a
- 39:05Speaker 1: way of concentrating power. And that's what it's really all about.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Now Mamdani knows that a government grocery store here and there,
- 39:15Speaker 1: that's the idea, and then eventually it be all government
- 39:17Speaker 1: grocery stores. By the way, with his government grocery stores,
- 39:22Speaker 1: his government grocery store officials are now admitting, well, there'll
- 39:28Speaker 1: be no butcher, there'll be no hot food. They'll be
- 39:31Speaker 1: Now listen to this, they're admitting it'll be the normal prices.
- 39:35Speaker 1: The only things that will be cheaper will be eggs
- 39:38Speaker 1: and bread. So far, that's it, eggs and bread. Now.
- 39:43Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice, but you know, there
- 39:44Speaker 1: was a big controversy in the last year of Biden.
- 39:48Speaker 1: The price of eggs was through the roof. It was
- 39:49Speaker 1: costing a fortune for eggs. Well, President Trump took office
- 39:54Speaker 1: and the price of eggs plunged. And it wasn't even
- 39:56Speaker 1: really the president. There was problems in the egg industry
- 39:59Speaker 1: and you know, a pandemic there had broken out. Anyway,
- 40:04Speaker 1: they got it all fixed in the industry. Price of
- 40:06Speaker 1: eggs ass plunged. It's way down, So there's no any
- 40:11Speaker 1: need for this now. If you wanted to lower the
- 40:14Speaker 1: prices in the grocery stores. If this is his idea
- 40:17Speaker 1: that the grocery stores are too expensive, that's the problem
- 40:20Speaker 1: we're trying to solve. You could get the price down
- 40:22Speaker 1: in these grocery stores very easily. Now, the grocery stores
- 40:26Speaker 1: can't really lower the price because they don't make any profit.
- 40:28Speaker 1: They operate like on a one percent profit margin or
- 40:31Speaker 1: two percent. Unheard of most businesses. It's a thirty percent
- 40:35Speaker 1: profit margin, twenty maybe in a bad business it's ten percent.
- 40:39Speaker 1: A one percent profit margin. You know how tough that is.
- 40:42Speaker 1: But what you could do in the worst neighborhoods or
- 40:46Speaker 1: the neighborhoods where you decide you need this, You could
- 40:48Speaker 1: go to these grocery stores and say, we want you
- 40:50Speaker 1: to cut the price of eggs and bread or whatever
- 40:53Speaker 1: you want, cut by this much in exchange will not tax,
- 40:59Speaker 1: you won't have to pay property tax on this location.
- 41:02Speaker 1: If you take that savings and put it into the
- 41:05Speaker 1: lowering the price, you could do that in a second.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Who could start that tomorrow? Literally, But this plan of
- 41:11Speaker 1: building a grocery store to do that, and they're talking
- 41:15Speaker 1: about the grocery store taking three four years to build.
- 41:17Speaker 1: They're talking about it costing thirty million. Normally a grocery
- 41:22Speaker 1: store costs two million to build and open. They're talking
- 41:25Speaker 1: thirty million. So whenever government does anything, it really does
- 41:29Speaker 1: it in a horrible way. So, but you'll never live
- 41:32Speaker 1: to see a government grocery store in New York. They'll
- 41:34Speaker 1: never happen. He'll never get this thing built. He's speaking
- 41:37Speaker 1: of grocery stores. You know Morton Williams. They're all over
- 41:41Speaker 1: in New York. They're very good, those Morton Williams. There's
- 41:45Speaker 1: one right over there, block away. They're really good, and
- 41:48Speaker 1: they're open twenty four hours. But Morton Williams, it's two guys.
- 41:52Speaker 1: It's Morton and Williams. And Morton was Morton Sloane, who
- 41:58Speaker 1: I believe was also Sloan Supermarket years ago. But Morton
- 42:00Speaker 1: Sloan was the morty of Morton Williams. And he died
- 42:04Speaker 1: on Friday. A wonderful guy, very very nice man, very
- 42:09Speaker 1: sad to listen. You know, he sold Morton Williams about
- 42:12Speaker 1: six months ago. They sold it to Shop Right for
- 42:14Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million. So he sells his business
- 42:18Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million and he dies a few
- 42:20Speaker 1: months later, but he was a very very nice man.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Now do you drink tea? Now, when you drink, you
- 42:27Speaker 1: put the tea bag in, all right, you got the
- 42:29Speaker 1: boiling water, You put the tea bag in. You let
- 42:31Speaker 1: it steep for a minute or two or three. And
- 42:35Speaker 1: then what do you do at the end. You always
- 42:38Speaker 1: take the spoon or whatever, and you crush the tea
- 42:40Speaker 1: bag against the side, right. You squeeze it at the
- 42:42Speaker 1: end to get out the last remaining whatever. This is
- 42:48Speaker 1: very important. Experts have explained now that squeezing the tea
- 42:53Speaker 1: bag at the end is the worst mistake you can make.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Do not do it. The tea bake is the tea
- 43:00Speaker 1: bag is made to release all the flavors and all
- 43:03Speaker 1: the great fragrance and flavors into the water. When you
- 43:07Speaker 1: squeeze it, even if you just lightly press it with
- 43:09Speaker 1: the spoon, you're actually forcing the bad stuff out, the
- 43:13Speaker 1: concentrated tainan's out, which are dry and bitter. So if
- 43:18Speaker 1: you squeeze the bag at the end, it creates a dry,
- 43:22Speaker 1: bitter side to it. So it never squeezed the bag
- 43:27Speaker 1: that way, only the good stuff comes out. Very important, Hey,
- 43:34Speaker 1: doctor Fauci, that little worm, that wormy little Fauci. You
- 43:38Speaker 1: remember during the pandemic. Now, you got to remember, everybody
- 43:41Speaker 1: was terrified. You stuck at home. You don't know if
- 43:44Speaker 1: the world's ever going to be the same again. You
- 43:46Speaker 1: can't leave your house, you can't go to work, you can't.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Everybody was scared, terrified, so scared that when that Andrew
- 43:54Speaker 1: Cromo briefing came on every day at noon, we'd watch
- 43:58Speaker 1: it for like an hour. Something was reassuring about it.
- 44:01Speaker 1: He chipped charts and grafts. He had a big table
- 44:04Speaker 1: with the flag and every flags behind him, and he
- 44:07Speaker 1: had three people sitting there and they were all dressed
- 44:10Speaker 1: up and they would explain everything. And you this was
- 44:14Speaker 1: a ritual every day to watch this. He became like
- 44:17Speaker 1: the father to all of us, you know, reassuring us.
- 44:19Speaker 1: So now then as the you know, as the lockdown
- 44:24Speaker 1: started to end, you were back at work, you were
- 44:26Speaker 1: allowed to go out, restaurants started to open. Nobody ever
- 44:28Speaker 1: watched him anymore, because it's only when you're terrified you
- 44:32Speaker 1: would convince yourself that this guy knew what he was
- 44:34Speaker 1: talking about, but he was horrible. The other one was Fauci.
- 44:38Speaker 1: You look at Fauci, this lovable, sweet little teddy bear
- 44:41Speaker 1: of a Fauci old grandfather type, reassuring the expert. If
- 44:46Speaker 1: you watch, go to my Twitter there's a video I
- 44:48Speaker 1: put up a montage of all the fake news CNN
- 44:51Speaker 1: networks MSNBC introducing him as the most brilliant scientist, the
- 44:55Speaker 1: greatest ever. Well, he was horrible, and it turned out
- 44:59Speaker 1: he was wrong about every thing, and turned out he
- 45:02Speaker 1: was also lying about a lot of things. He was
- 45:04Speaker 1: lying about the origins of the disease. He bungled up
- 45:07Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. He was doing contact tracing until
- 45:10Speaker 1: they realized you don't do that with an airborne disease.
- 45:13Speaker 1: That's only with a disease that's physically transmitted. He got
- 45:18Speaker 1: everything wrong. But his diaries have come out. His journals.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Apparently kept journals through the whole thing. They remember he
- 45:24Speaker 1: recently had to go before Congress and testify under oath. Well,
- 45:27Speaker 1: they had his journals. They seized all his records and everything.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Rand Paul has released the journals. Fascinating to read. Apparently
- 45:37Speaker 1: Fauci's whole whole gang was trying to be famous, and
- 45:40Speaker 1: he writes in the journal every day about how much
- 45:42Speaker 1: publicity he's getting, and how he wants this fame and
- 45:45Speaker 1: how important the fame and the glory is, and he
- 45:47Speaker 1: writes about it. And that's why I don't understand these
- 45:50Speaker 1: people that write stuff down, keep these journals. Why would
- 45:54Speaker 1: you do that? But it's Miranda Divine is a good
- 45:56Speaker 1: calm today where she goes through the journals in Fauci
- 46:00Speaker 1: obviously just stay a night trying to get himself famous
- 46:04Speaker 1: and get himself loved. Hey, Tom Homan has said there's
- 46:07Speaker 1: going to be a surge in New York, a big
- 46:09Speaker 1: surge coming. Mom, Donnie's not gonna like it, is not
- 46:15Speaker 1: gonna like it. There's nothing they can do about it.
- 46:16Speaker 13: Though.
- 46:17Speaker 1: This is federal law, illegal aliens illegally here illegals. Federal
- 46:23Speaker 1: law always takes precedent over local law. It legally totally
- 46:27Speaker 1: supersedes local law. So Holman has said, a big surge
- 46:31Speaker 1: is coming. You'll see it soon. They're going to do
- 46:35Speaker 1: it all over New York.
- 46:36Speaker 12: Hey.
- 46:37Speaker 1: The movie The Odyssey huge, huge, Try to get a
- 46:41Speaker 1: ticket to see it. You can't. It's so it's sold
- 46:43Speaker 1: out everywhere every theater. It had another big weekend. It's
- 46:47Speaker 1: already up to six hundred million. This is the second
- 46:50Speaker 1: week and it's at six hundred million. Unbelievable. Hey, the DNC,
- 46:56Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee, it's a disaster. You know, the Republican
- 47:01Speaker 1: National Committee is doing pretty well. The Republican National Committee
- 47:05Speaker 1: has tons and tons and tons of money. The DNC
- 47:10Speaker 1: has no money. It's just about broke. And this is
- 47:14Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee. It's very important in the election
- 47:17Speaker 1: because you know, the DNC has to fund all the
- 47:20Speaker 1: local races, distribute the money. Right now, listen to this.
- 47:24Speaker 1: The Republican National Committee has one hundred and twenty nine million,
- 47:29Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine million cash on hand, DNC
- 47:34Speaker 1: two million in debt minus two million. Republican National Committee
- 47:39Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine million cash on hand. Democratic National
- 47:43Speaker 1: Committee two million in debt. It's a disaster. And now
- 47:48Speaker 1: you're saying, well, why don't they fire the chairman? It's
- 47:50Speaker 1: Ken Martin. In fact, the New York Times, not the
- 47:55Speaker 1: Fox News. Now the New York Times is reporting that
- 47:58Speaker 1: the DNC is in shape ambles. The chairman has gotten
- 48:02Speaker 1: so crazy that he threw a phone at somebody. He's
- 48:05Speaker 1: so frustrated, so upset, he threw his phone at a
- 48:08Speaker 1: junior aid. He claims he was throwing it at a
- 48:12Speaker 1: chair now at the air. But this is how bad
- 48:14Speaker 1: it is over there. Now you're probably saying, well, why
- 48:17Speaker 1: don't they just get a new chairman, get somebody competent
- 48:21Speaker 1: in it. Well, right now, they're afraid to fire the
- 48:23Speaker 1: DNC chairman. First, it's too close to the midterms. It'll
- 48:27Speaker 1: look bad. But the real reason they'd have to get
- 48:30Speaker 1: a new chairman, and they're afraid right now that the
- 48:33Speaker 1: socialists in the party will demand a socialist chairman. And
- 48:37Speaker 1: if that happens, that's really going to make them look bad.
- 48:40Speaker 1: So they can't change right now because they know the
- 48:45Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist would demand a whacko crazy socialist head of
- 48:49Speaker 1: the DNC. Oh Lindsey Graham. The funeral is tomorrow. It's
- 48:55Speaker 1: two days really of stuff Tomorrow and Wednesday. Because of that,
- 49:00Speaker 1: a lot of people from all over the world are
- 49:01Speaker 1: coming into Washington, DC for this funeral. So tomorrow Zelenski
- 49:05Speaker 1: will be in Washington. Bb Net and Yahoo will be
- 49:07Speaker 1: in Washington. They'll both have meetings with President Trump. We'll
- 49:12Speaker 1: see who has the better meeting. Now, remember Zelensky last
- 49:16Speaker 1: time he Remember when he came and sat there and
- 49:18Speaker 1: got yelled at him the Oval office. He was there
- 49:20Speaker 1: begging for money. It's a different situation now. Ukraine has
- 49:24Speaker 1: created their own factories, they're making their own weapons, their
- 49:27Speaker 1: own drones. They're actually ahead now in the war. They're
- 49:30Speaker 1: actually winning the war slightly, but they're winning. So it's
- 49:35Speaker 1: a different Zelensky that'll show up this time. And because
- 49:38Speaker 1: he's been able to make these factories and produce, he's
- 49:41Speaker 1: now the biggest drone producer in the world. It's almost
- 49:44Speaker 1: at the point where we need to borrow drones from Ukraine.
- 49:47Speaker 1: We need them to supply us now. So because of that,
- 49:51Speaker 1: I think President Trump will have a lot more respect
- 49:54Speaker 1: for him, and this should be interesting meetings. Hey, don't
- 49:58Speaker 1: forget the show expand to three hours. This show will
- 50:01Speaker 1: now be nine to noon starting a week from today,
- 50:05Speaker 1: Starting Monday, it's going to be nine to noon. More
- 50:08Speaker 1: on that during the week, we'll take some calls. Next
- 50:12Speaker 1: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 50:17Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 50:21Speaker 4: Jogged into Everything New York on the Voice of New
- 50:24Speaker 4: York Mark Simone on sevent ten.
- 50:27Speaker 1: W Warren, Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three, two,
- 50:36Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to
- 50:39Speaker 1: Robert in Westchester. Robert, how you doing doing well?
- 50:43Speaker 13: Mark? Thank you very much and congratulations. I can't wait
- 50:46Speaker 13: for the extra hour. So Mark with You're welcome, sir.
- 50:51Speaker 13: With MANDONI going to to the eleven nine to eleven memorial.
- 50:56Speaker 13: I don't believe he's doing it out of empathy or
- 50:58Speaker 13: what to show, you know, grab it so it would
- 51:00Speaker 13: be kind to me. I think he's going to stand
- 51:02Speaker 13: there just to be like, I'm here, you don't like
- 51:05Speaker 13: it too bad and suffer with it. I lost somebody
- 51:08Speaker 13: in nine to eleven, and like those other families, I
- 51:12Speaker 13: don't want to see him there.
- 51:13Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, nobody, nobody, nobody wants him there. But
- 51:16Speaker 1: you may have. Yeah, now you have a very good point.
- 51:21Speaker 1: They're probably those families are going to turn their back
- 51:24Speaker 1: on them in front of the cameras. So it's good.
- 51:27Speaker 1: But he's a very calculating guy, so listen. He's antisemitic.
- 51:34Speaker 1: I know he tries to explain it that I'll listen
- 51:36Speaker 1: to this.
- 51:37Speaker 7: I want to make very clear that my criticisms of
- 51:39Speaker 7: prime Minist Revengement met Nowho are of specifically Prime Minist
- 51:42Speaker 7: revengement now and any criticisms of any foreign state should
- 51:47Speaker 7: never be confused for criticisms of a people or of
- 51:49Speaker 7: a faith, and my responsibility as the mayor.
- 51:52Speaker 1: Sorry, it doesn't pass the smell test of the laugh testing.
- 51:55Speaker 1: He listen, he's a this is white supremacy. You know,
- 51:58Speaker 1: if you study white supreme is he one of the
- 52:00Speaker 1: key components is always anti Semitism. And when these communists
- 52:04Speaker 1: socialists show up, it's always anti semitism with them. And
- 52:08Speaker 1: you have to remember, with these socialist communists, anti semitism
- 52:13Speaker 1: is just the opening chapter, and then it becomes anti Catholic,
- 52:16Speaker 1: anti America. So clearly anti Semitic, but underneath you're going
- 52:22Speaker 1: to find he's anti Irish, he's anti Italian, he's an anti Christian.
- 52:28Speaker 1: But you may have a point there. I think he
- 52:29Speaker 1: maybe wants to show up at that twenty fifth anniversary,
- 52:32Speaker 1: even though the families have asked him not to. I
- 52:35Speaker 1: think he wants to show up just to annoy the
- 52:38Speaker 1: whole situation. Everything is calculating to impress his voters, and
- 52:42Speaker 1: if those families and the cops and where you do
- 52:44Speaker 1: turn their back on him, it'll just energize his base,
- 52:49Speaker 1: his crazy lunatic followers. Let's go to Jack in Putnam Valley. Jack,
- 52:54Speaker 1: how you doing.
- 52:55Speaker 6: Good morning, mister Smoone have to apologize who answered last week,
- 52:59Speaker 6: and I minded touched the wrong button. But I'd like
- 53:02Speaker 6: to talk about the Republicans should they're responsible for the
- 53:05Speaker 6: Madaminie being in there. They put that lightweight Como in
- 53:08Speaker 6: there with a lot of baggage, and had they backed
- 53:12Speaker 6: somebody else, somebody, anybody else but Como, we would have
- 53:15Speaker 6: had a chance to beat him. Nobody's taken.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Now you're talking about Perry Como, the singer.
- 53:21Speaker 6: You know, Yeah, that's what I'm sorry, but that's that's
- 53:25Speaker 6: what I mean exactly. But nobody in the Republicans admitted
- 53:29Speaker 6: that they made a huge mistake by putting them well,
- 53:31Speaker 6: shut down Indian points, closed prisons, you know.
- 53:34Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he was a horrible governor. Listen, you got
- 53:36Speaker 1: a good point. This is what really happened. Ever, argue, well,
- 53:40Speaker 1: if Curtis hadn't been in the race, if Curtis hadn't
- 53:42Speaker 1: been in the race, and Cuomo got every single Curtis voter,
- 53:45Speaker 1: he still would have been way short. Cuomo had no chance. Ever. Ever, Ever, Ever,
- 53:52Speaker 1: now people like to say, well, Curtis can't win, Well,
- 53:54Speaker 1: you never know Cuomo. You know he can't win. Absolutely,
- 53:59Speaker 1: had no sh If Cuomo had never shown up. First
- 54:04Speaker 1: of all, he wouldn't have been in that Democratic primary.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Mam Donni would not have won the primary. One of
- 54:09Speaker 1: those hack Democrats would have won, one of those you know,
- 54:13Speaker 1: Scott Stringer type Democrats would have gotten it. Because Cuomo
- 54:19Speaker 1: gotten the primary. It just helped mam Donni because Cuomo
- 54:24Speaker 1: was so bad in those two primary debates that mam
- 54:26Speaker 1: Donni just slapped him around and rose to win the thing. Remember,
- 54:34Speaker 1: Cuomo got wiped out in the Democratic primary. So if
- 54:36Speaker 1: he can't win Democrats, who the hell is he gonna
- 54:39Speaker 1: win with? So had he not been in the race,
- 54:42Speaker 1: I know he'll argue, well, Curtis in the debates took
- 54:45Speaker 1: my momentum. Cuomo never had any momentum. Think about this,
- 54:50Speaker 1: There's never been a race like this in history where
- 54:52Speaker 1: the guy is running Cuomo as an independent, and you've
- 54:56Speaker 1: got every major Republican, including the President, telling everybody to
- 55:01Speaker 1: vote for Cuomo. Everybody. I was on the air day
- 55:04Speaker 1: and night saying just vote for Cuomo, don't vote for Curtis.
- 55:07Speaker 1: Tell everybody telling you to vote for it, and he
- 55:09Speaker 1: still couldn't win. He still was like eight points short,
- 55:11Speaker 1: so he could never win anything. I hope he learned
- 55:14Speaker 1: this lesson. He then went on to do a radio
- 55:16Speaker 1: show which is considered the worst radio show ever, and
- 55:20Speaker 1: he quit after a few months. I hope he learned
- 55:22Speaker 1: this lesson on that too. Let's go to Jacob in Brooklyn. Jacob,
- 55:26Speaker 1: how you doing.
- 55:28Speaker 15: I'm Jacob from Rock and Talking Mark. How you doing?
- 55:30Speaker 13: Wow?
- 55:30Speaker 15: I love you so thanks, and I love you show
- 55:33Speaker 15: so much that I listened to your show live and
- 55:35Speaker 15: that I listened to your podcast, and so is my mom.
- 55:39Speaker 15: My mom loves yourself tool. Thanks Mark. Is it possible
- 55:44Speaker 15: to talk to the news guest that nobody's interested? What
- 55:49Speaker 15: Schumer idiot tumor and our idiot?
- 55:53Speaker 1: Yeah? No, you bring up a good point. I'll explain that.
- 55:55Speaker 1: I know what he's talking now, I know what you're
- 55:57Speaker 1: telling it. Schumer is the most useless idiot in the world.
- 56:01Speaker 1: Every Sunday there's no news. There's nothing happening on a Sunday.
- 56:05Speaker 1: So Schumer figured this out years ago. So every Sunday
- 56:08Speaker 1: leaves his family, they drag a podium somewhere on the
- 56:12Speaker 1: sidewalk and he makes a speech about something, usually some issue,
- 56:17Speaker 1: and that's because there's nothing happening on Sunday. So on
- 56:21Speaker 1: the six o'clock news, eleven o'clock news, in the papers
- 56:23Speaker 1: the next day, they report on what Schumer said because
- 56:26Speaker 1: there's no other stories for the day, and he needs
- 56:29Speaker 1: an issue every Sunday, so he runs around. His people
- 56:33Speaker 1: go all over the Senate into everybody's office, like on Friday,
- 56:36Speaker 1: looking for something. And a lot of the centats tell
- 56:40Speaker 1: me they have to lock their office because the Schumer
- 56:41Speaker 1: people come in and steal your issue. So that's why
- 56:46Speaker 1: he gets the coverage. And on our news today in
- 56:48Speaker 1: the morning, you'll hear the Schumer clips because there was
- 56:50Speaker 1: nothing else happened yesterday. And Schumer, he has tried through
- 56:55Speaker 1: the years. Well let me see if I do it
- 56:57Speaker 1: on a Tuesday or Wednesday, no coverage because if anything
- 57:00Speaker 1: else is happening, who the hell would bother with him?
- 57:03Speaker 1: It's a pathetic exercise that this old Willie Lowman, old
- 57:09Speaker 1: broken down old senator keeps doing it. Hey, when we
- 57:12Speaker 1: come back, the brilliant columnist Lizpeak, we'll talk to her
- 57:16Speaker 1: next on seven to ten w R.
- 57:19Speaker 15: It's the Mark Simone Show, Live from the w o
- 57:22Speaker 15: R Life Back Studios.
- 57:27Speaker 1: Well, Lizpeak, the brilliant columnist. You can read her at
- 57:31Speaker 1: Foxnews dot com, Orthehill dot com and of course you'll
- 57:35Speaker 1: see her all over television. But also make sure you
- 57:37Speaker 1: check out our website. A lot of good stuff up there,
- 57:39Speaker 1: great stories and analysis. Lizpeak dot com, lizpeak dot com, Lizpeak.
- 57:45Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 57:47Speaker 8: I am terrific. I don't lose you're going it out.
- 57:53Speaker 1: You're cutting out? Where are you on a train or playing?
- 57:57Speaker 8: I'm in Westster.
- 58:02Speaker 1: Ope. We lost her? Are you there? Call her back,
- 58:08Speaker 1: Call her back and see, Yeah, she's in a very
- 58:11Speaker 1: remote part of the world Westchester. Now, believe it or not,
- 58:16Speaker 1: there are places right in the middle of the busiest
- 58:20Speaker 1: areas where there's no cell service or very bad cell service.
- 58:24Speaker 1: You know, the Hampton's there's no cell service. I mean
- 58:26Speaker 1: it's really bad out there Long Island. If you're driving
- 58:31Speaker 1: past Oyster Bay, you get to East Norwich around there,
- 58:34Speaker 1: you got no cell service. There's parts of Westchester where
- 58:38Speaker 1: it just goes away and you got no cell service.
- 58:40Speaker 1: But we'll call her back and get her back in
- 58:44Speaker 1: casionally you didn't hear. Starting Monday, this show is expanding.
- 58:50Speaker 1: It's going to be nine to noon starting Monday. We're
- 58:53Speaker 1: adding an hour. That means I gotta get up an
- 58:58Speaker 1: hour earlier. But there was big, big, big, big, big
- 59:01Speaker 1: demand for this starting Monday, nine to noon, every weekday,
- 59:07Speaker 1: starting a week from day. We got her back. No, oh,
- 59:10Speaker 1: we're working on it. We'll get her back. It's very
- 59:13Speaker 1: tough getting the phone. Now, what part of Westchester could
- 59:16Speaker 1: she be in? They's well, I mean obviously White Plains, Scarsdale, Rye, Yonkers,
- 59:22Speaker 1: plenty of Celtic, but there's those in between areas. We'll
- 59:26Speaker 1: see if we can find her. Hey, in Maine, they
- 59:30Speaker 1: got a replacement for that, Graham Platner. They got a
- 59:33Speaker 1: guy named Jackson to take on Susan. Troy Jackson in
- 59:38Speaker 1: his name, all right, it's a great name. It's like
- 59:41Speaker 1: a movie star named Troy Jess starring Troy Jackson. But
- 59:46Speaker 1: he seems like the dullest guy in the world. I
- 59:48Speaker 1: think that's one reason they chose him. He's a very
- 59:51Speaker 1: very dull guy, so so dull they think he'll be
- 59:54Speaker 1: a good candidate. Oh, we got her back. Liz Peek
- 59:56Speaker 1: are you there?
- 59:57Speaker 8: I am here. I don't know what happened. Anyway, I'm
- 1:00:00Speaker 8: happy to join you.
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: Mark.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Oh, much better, much much better. Some of these democratic
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: socialists take New York for instance, Mom, Donnie, who the
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: hell are these people that vote for them? I know
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: they're younger, but what kind of people are they? These
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: younger Mom Donnie voters?
- 1:00:15Speaker 16: They're over educated white liberals who are angry that they
- 1:00:20Speaker 16: spent a fortune on some sort of college degree or
- 1:00:23Speaker 16: graduate degree in they canter at a living. That's my interpretation, obviously,
- 1:00:28Speaker 16: is not one hundred percent. But look, I think further seriously,
- 1:00:33Speaker 16: we know they are mostly white. We know they are
- 1:00:35Speaker 16: mostly college graduate or have advanced degrees of some sort,
- 1:00:40Speaker 16: and they've been indoctrinated in the schools they went to.
- 1:00:44Speaker 16: And this is not just a right wing talking point, Mark,
- 1:00:48Speaker 16: It is statistically the case that most faculties, particularly in
- 1:00:52Speaker 16: the humanities, meaning things like political science or economics or history,
- 1:00:58Speaker 16: are very left leaning. Most are self identified liberals, not
- 1:01:02Speaker 16: even Democrats, but liberals, and they have taught these young
- 1:01:06Speaker 16: people the evils of capitalism, the glories of socialism, that
- 1:01:11Speaker 16: Israel is a colonizing nation and has subjected and carried
- 1:01:18Speaker 16: out undue hostility and meanness towards the Palestinian people. All
- 1:01:24Speaker 16: of it is so biased, and all of it is
- 1:01:26Speaker 16: so basically incorrect that these kids come out just you know,
- 1:01:30Speaker 16: with a point of view that's very hard to sway.
- 1:01:33Speaker 16: The good news, mark is that the Trump administration is
- 1:01:38Speaker 16: I don't know if you saw this, but they're going
- 1:01:39Speaker 16: to cut down on the amount people can borrow to
- 1:01:42Speaker 16: go to college, but also to get advanced degrees. Mostly
- 1:01:47Speaker 16: the new Trump rules have to do with graduate degrees.
- 1:01:50Speaker 8: And I think it's one hundred percent appropriate.
- 1:01:52Speaker 16: We have kids getting you know, PhDs in gender studies,
- 1:01:58Speaker 16: and guess what, that is not of great utility. If
- 1:02:01Speaker 16: they want to do it and they want to pay
- 1:02:02Speaker 16: for it, great, but you and I the taxpayer, should
- 1:02:05Speaker 16: not be on the hook for that, and we are.
- 1:02:07Speaker 8: So I think this is sort of a little.
- 1:02:10Speaker 16: Known thing that kicked in July first that the White
- 1:02:13Speaker 16: House has done. I think it's unbelievably important as sort
- 1:02:16Speaker 16: of a beginning step to root out these ridiculous, excessive
- 1:02:23Speaker 16: payments to faculties and to colleges that bring nothing to
- 1:02:28Speaker 16: the table. They don't have any interest whatsoever. And whether
- 1:02:31Speaker 16: these kids can get a job. Let's make sure they do.
- 1:02:35Speaker 16: And one of the ways you do that is you
- 1:02:36Speaker 16: cut off the funding.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Well, this is all great, but if you start a
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: whole new education process, it could be twenty years before
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: enough of them get out.
- 1:02:46Speaker 8: Mark.
- 1:02:47Speaker 16: I agree, but you got to start somewhere, right, I mean,
- 1:02:50Speaker 16: I agree with you, But this is the cancer.
- 1:02:53Speaker 8: This is the source of the cancer.
- 1:02:55Speaker 16: When you go after cancer, you go after certainly the
- 1:02:58Speaker 16: symptoms and you try excise what is rotten in the body.
- 1:03:03Speaker 16: But you got us to go to the source. And
- 1:03:04Speaker 16: this is the source. So let's hope the ballot box
- 1:03:08Speaker 16: corrects this excess sooner rather than later. It's very interesting
- 1:03:13Speaker 16: to me, you know that this head of the DSA
- 1:03:16Speaker 16: went on Shannon Breams Fox news station I think yesterday
- 1:03:21Speaker 16: and basically said, yes, we want to abolish the Senate.
- 1:03:25Speaker 16: We want to abolish ice, we want to abolish in
- 1:03:28Speaker 16: the electoral college, we want to abolish borders, et cetera,
- 1:03:32Speaker 16: et cetera.
- 1:03:32Speaker 8: They are such lunatics.
- 1:03:34Speaker 16: Want to abolish prisons because and Shannon Breen comes back with, well,
- 1:03:39Speaker 16: you know, shouldn't some people be in prison, you know,
- 1:03:41Speaker 16: like murders and rapists. Well, but we want to get
- 1:03:44Speaker 16: rid of the conditions that lead to those people being
- 1:03:48Speaker 16: in prison, meaning poverty. It's so far fetched and idiotic that,
- 1:03:53Speaker 16: you know, it is the gift that gets keeps on
- 1:03:55Speaker 16: giving for the Republicans and the midterms, because as much
- 1:03:59Speaker 16: as people don't like the Republican Party right now, they
- 1:04:03Speaker 16: dislike the Democrats even worse.
- 1:04:05Speaker 8: And this is going to really and by.
- 1:04:07Speaker 16: The way, Hakim Jeffries is out on this dump saying, eyah,
- 1:04:10Speaker 16: we have a big tent, bring them on. You know,
- 1:04:12Speaker 16: we want to welcome everybody. He should not be doing that.
- 1:04:15Speaker 16: He should be saying, no, we disavow these people. They're crazy,
- 1:04:19Speaker 16: They're anti Semitic. It's not what the Democratic Party stands for.
- 1:04:23Speaker 16: Where's the backbone in the Democratic Party? I think you
- 1:04:27Speaker 16: have to I don't know whether you need a magnifying
- 1:04:29Speaker 16: glass to find it.
- 1:04:30Speaker 8: Even then, I think you're going to come up short.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we're talking with Liz Peak. You know, no
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: matter how bad the Republicans are, Democrats always have the
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: finder way to make themselves worse somehow.
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: But they really do.
- 1:04:42Speaker 16: I mean, right now, if you look at favorability. The
- 1:04:45Speaker 16: New York Times had this article about the broke, unhappy
- 1:04:50Speaker 16: Democratic Party, which is a pretty extraordinary story, actually, I think.
- 1:04:53Speaker 16: I mean, it's basically about how the Republicans have The
- 1:04:58Speaker 16: Republican National Committee has undred and thirty million dollars on
- 1:05:02Speaker 16: hand right now, and the Democratic the DNC is in
- 1:05:06Speaker 16: a negative too. Then, in other words, they owe money
- 1:05:09Speaker 16: instead of having collected any And it all goes back
- 1:05:11Speaker 16: to Kamala Harris spending an enormous amount of money in
- 1:05:14Speaker 16: her campaign. But they they talk about how unpopular Donald
- 1:05:18Speaker 16: Trump is and what time this is for Democrats to
- 1:05:20Speaker 16: score off of that.
- 1:05:21Speaker 8: Guess what.
- 1:05:22Speaker 16: The favorability on the Democratic Party is worse than it
- 1:05:26Speaker 16: is for Donald Trump, and it's worse than the Republican Party.
- 1:05:29Speaker 8: So forgive me.
- 1:05:30Speaker 16: I'm not really weeping about the Democrats' financial problems. Maybe
- 1:05:34Speaker 16: if they had a message other than we hate Trump,
- 1:05:38Speaker 16: maybe they'd be doing a little better.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Yeah, But as our friend Larry kutlo Keep's pointing out,
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: and I agree, Republicans are not good right now with
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: the messaging. They've got to come up with the message.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: What should they be doing well?
- 1:05:51Speaker 16: I one hundred percent agree every single one of those
- 1:05:53Speaker 16: people out there running for their House seat should be
- 1:05:55Speaker 16: talking up the tax cuts from last year, the no
- 1:05:58Speaker 16: tax on overtime, etc. Republicans are in a defensive crouch,
- 1:06:04Speaker 16: and I get it. Gasoline prices are over four dollars
- 1:06:08Speaker 16: and nobody likes the war in Iran. At the other hand,
- 1:06:11Speaker 16: the economy is doing actually pretty well right now. Unemployment's
- 1:06:15Speaker 16: very low, investment is booming, manufacturing is increasing. All the
- 1:06:20Speaker 16: kinds of things that people want to have happened. So
- 1:06:23Speaker 16: they should be talking up the economy. They should be
- 1:06:26Speaker 16: talking up the big beautiful bill. The Democrats have so
- 1:06:29Speaker 16: scared the Republicans with the messaging about how the wealthy
- 1:06:33Speaker 16: should pay their fair share and the tax cuts were
- 1:06:35Speaker 16: only for the wealthy. It isn't true, Mark, but somehow
- 1:06:39Speaker 16: they don't have the guts to stand up and refute it.
- 1:06:43Speaker 16: I frankly think an awful lot of these Republicans don't
- 1:06:45Speaker 16: really understand supply side economics, whatever you want to call it,
- 1:06:51Speaker 16: the fact that tax cuts always always leads to higher
- 1:06:54Speaker 16: tax revenues and growth in the economy. They just don't
- 1:06:58Speaker 16: really accept it or believe event And that's a problem.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the other problem is if you watch the
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: Sunday shows or the evening news. You get the feeling
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the depression and the worst economy. Ever,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: that's really not the case at all, is it.
- 1:07:13Speaker 16: No, it isn't. And in fact, a couple of data
- 1:07:16Speaker 16: points on that. I watch the Bank of America Institute
- 1:07:19Speaker 16: reports very carefully because Bank America does business with about
- 1:07:24Speaker 16: half the country. I mean, it's a tremendously good read
- 1:07:27Speaker 16: on what's actually happening too people right now.
- 1:07:30Speaker 8: And two things of importance.
- 1:07:32Speaker 16: One is, consumer spending was up in the last month
- 1:07:35Speaker 16: for the most in several years.
- 1:07:37Speaker 8: It was up over six percent, very good number.
- 1:07:40Speaker 16: Secondly, what they're seeing is that wages are going up
- 1:07:42Speaker 16: at the bottom end faster than at the top end,
- 1:07:46Speaker 16: meaning that the income disparity, if that's something that concerns
- 1:07:50Speaker 16: you and probably everyone should be looking at, that is
- 1:07:53Speaker 16: actually narrowed under Donald Trump, and real wages are going up,
- 1:07:58Speaker 16: which they didn't all the time under Joe So you know,
- 1:08:01Speaker 16: also look at what American Express reported the other day.
- 1:08:05Speaker 16: American Express had incredibly good numbers, and it's because consumers
- 1:08:08Speaker 16: are spending.
- 1:08:09Speaker 8: Well, they can't spend.
- 1:08:10Speaker 16: If they're not optimistic and if they're not getting income increases.
- 1:08:15Speaker 8: And some of American Express.
- 1:08:16Speaker 16: Certainly is the high end is impacted by the stock market,
- 1:08:20Speaker 16: but the reality is right now the economy is pretty solid,
- 1:08:23Speaker 16: but you will never hear that from the liberal media.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Well, Liz Peak, brilliant as always, and keep up the
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: good work on TV. You can get her columns at
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Foxnews dot com, The Hill dot com, and make sure
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: you check her website. There's great stuff up there. Lizpeak

- 1:09:07Speaker 1: you didn't hear, starting Monday, this show, my show will expand.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: It's always been two hours, it'll be three hours. It'll
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: be three hours. Starting Monday, we'll start an hour earlier,
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: so it'll be nine to noon every weekday nine o'clock
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: till noon every weekday. We're gonna start on Monday, a
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: week from today. We'll start that, so it'll be three hours.

- 1:09:35Speaker 1: get an extra hour of podcast listening. But it's nine
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: to noon. This show will be nine to noon, an
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: extra hour starting a week from today, starting next Monday.

- 1:09:51Speaker 1: like it's tough doing four hours. They only have to
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: do three hours. Four hours is really tough. But it
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: starts on Monday. And of course you'll hear Curtis and
