Hour 3:Blakeman vs Mamdani · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, hey, it's the final hour, three hours every day now,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: nine to noon. Let's see if President Trump has finally
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: responded to Lindsey Clancy's lawyer. Remember, the lawyer asked President
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Trump to pardon her. He asked for a presidential pardon.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The lawyer was kind of a bumbling old lawyer. He
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: hasn't had a very good track record. Somehow he stumbled
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: into this case and he got lucky here. He pulled
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it off so far. But President Trump explaining to the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: lawyer that he has no power to pardon her. It's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a state case. It's a local case. The president can
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: pardon on federal cases and federal charges, but it's a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: local criminal case and he doesn't have the power to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: pardon it. You would think a lawyer wouldn't need that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: explained to him, but apparently this guy does. Hey, good
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: for Ed Sheeran. He's been on tour, stadiums, big stadiums
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all over the world. Macklemore was on the tour. Macklemore
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: going into these ugly, disgusting, anti-Israel rants. Many venues refusing
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to allow him to perform. So Ed Sheeran has thrown
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: him off the tour. He's out. But I don't know
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: how much of it was Ed Sheeran and how much
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of it was the venues saying we're not going to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: allow him to perform. So good news, though, is he's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: gone off the tour. That's important. The Emmy Awards are tonight.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who actually cares. I don't know
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: anybody who actually still watches the Emmy Awards. It'll be
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: on NBC at 8 o'clock. I don't know if anybody
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: pays any attention to it anymore. Usually you try to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: get a comedian to host, keep it lively, keep it fun,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: but I don't think any comedian wants to host the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Emmy Awards, so it's going to be Marissa Haggerty. who
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: is on Law & Order for 100 years and looks it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But the problem is you used to get the biggest star.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Johnny Carson would host the Emmys. Bob Hope would do
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the Oscars. These were enormous superstars that everybody knew. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: there's no such thing anymore. No such thing anymore. Marissa Hargaday,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: when she walks out on stage, it's going to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: mostly older people watching, but if it was an audience
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: like nobody under 30, 40, would know who she is.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And nobody watches all these different shows. There's too many shows.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: There's thousands and thousands and thousands of shows. It's not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: like the 1980s or even the 90s where everybody saw
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Seinfeld and the next day you could all talk about it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Or everybody saw Cheers. We all knew who Norm and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Cliff were. Or everybody back then saw Law & Order.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And you knew who Jerry Orbach was. Today it's all splintered.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: There's 400 shows currently streaming. I don't care who you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: talk to, whatever show they're watching, you never heard of.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: When you tell them about your show, they never heard
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of it. So it's tough to do the Emmys tonight.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Very tough to watch. Tune in for a second, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you won't know what's going on. Hey, remember we told
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you Hunter Biden came out with this crypto, this crypto coin.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It was a money-making scheme. I guess nobody's buying the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: paintings anymore. And people invested like crazy and lost a fortune.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Four out of five investors got wiped out by his crypto.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Some mystery trader got in at just the right second
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and got out at just the right second and got
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a million bucks. But outside of that, everybody lost everything,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: got wiped out. The name of the coin is Laptop.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This guy's got a lot of nerve. You got to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: give him that, Laptop. He might as well have called
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the coin drug addict. Crack addict. Anyway, he's trying to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: explain what happened. He said the issue became... He said
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it was a F-up. He used the actual F-word. Biden
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: claimed the issue began shortly after trading started on Wednesday
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: because the project's market maker supplied significantly less liquidity than
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: needed to handle the initial demand. Yeah, in other words...
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It's Hunter Biden. Whoever made that million real fast, probably
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: somebody connected with him. It was all a scheme. It
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: bombed completely. That's the end of it. Hey, if you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: live in Long Island, I'm sure you know Ohika Castle.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Ohika Castle was built by Gus Kahn, and it's like
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a Great Gatsby Castle. Where is that exactly? Is that Woodbury?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's Woodbury. And it's been there for a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: hundred years and it's got incredible grounds. It's a big castle.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: It's kind of run down. The guy that owns it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a sort of a shabby guy who let it, uh, uh,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's a little run down, but it's still a big, uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they've got a restaurant there, but it's a big venue
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for weddings, for all sorts of stuff. They got hotel
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: rooms there too. Anthony, uh, uh, um, well, there were
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of famous weddings there. Uh, A number of celebrities,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of parties there. It's up for auction. The
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: owner is in bankruptcy. He said the debt's too heavy.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: He can't carry it. So if you want, Oheka Castle.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Concierge Auctions will be auctioning it off October 27th. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: auction will be in person or virtually in New York City.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: The owner says he owes about $ 60 million in investment to...
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to the investment firm Takana Capital hands it. So if
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you like Oheka Castle, it's going to be auctioned off
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: October 27th. We've got a lot of wealthy listeners here.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: A lot of wealthy listeners. If you want to buy it,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it's up for auction. So take a look at it. Now,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the price of oil is spiking. It was pretty good
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: throughout this Iran conflict. And it would go up a little.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Not much, but now it's spiking. It's $ 103 a gallon.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's spiking. That's high. That's the WTI, which is what
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we use. America uses WTI. That's West Texas oil. The world,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of the rest of the world, uses Brent crude.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That is now $ 108. So this is very, very high.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You're going to see the price of oil go up
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in the next week or two. Not good for the president,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but when this is over, it'll come crashing down. Same
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: thing happened during the Iraq war. It went up this high,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and then when it was over, It came crashing down
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to like $ 42 a gallon, which is incredibly low. Hey,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: for our Myrtle Beach listeners, we have a lot of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: listeners in Myrtle Beach. Our caller, who we love, Rich
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: from Myrtle Beach, kept complaining it's going to be 100 today.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And he's done that a few times. Many of them
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: writing in saying it's not 100. It's going to be
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: 92 today. That's the high. It's never hit 100 all summer. Yeah,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Myrtle Beach weather. 92 today. Mid-80s
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week. So it's not. that high
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: hey legionnaires disease outbreak in the bronx and now an
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: outbreak at yankee stadium although the yankees say they've cleaned
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it up they've got rid of the legionnaires in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: cooling tower so they've eliminated that uh that's a dangerous
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: place for it because it's airborne and you got 50
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: 000 people sitting right there so far no reports of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: any cases so that's good Hey, the crazy New York Times,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: which is the most inaccurate fake news, total fake news,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they just make up crap. And then when they're not
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: making up crap, they do these totally biased pieces. So
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: there's a 35-year-old guy. He's like a vendor, a sidewalk vendor.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: He may be here illegally. I'm not sure. But the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: New York Times went and did a profile on him.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: He's 35. And it was a gushing, flattering profile of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: this guy. And it's illegal what he does on the street.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's like an illegal street market. And he hawks stuff,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: sells off stuff. Illegal vendor on the street, not licensed.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And supposedly it's for goodwill. It's for charity, sells clothes
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: for charity. Stands right in front of the Goodwill store.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And the New York Times did a wonderful glowing piece
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: on what a saint this guy is, what a wonderful
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: guy this guy is. He's part of a regular vending operation.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's a bunch of rogue, pretty much illegal, totally illegal,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: crooked vending operation. They actually call it hoodwill because the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: truth is they con people. Good Samaritans drop off clothes
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and shoes thinking it's going to charity, going to goodwill.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: It's not. It's a whole con operation. But the New
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: York Times didn't say that. They made it sound like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: this is a wonderful guy. They promoted him. They urged
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: people to go see him. They talked about him like
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he was just wonderful and gushing all over the guy.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Not only is it an illegal operation and they don't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: give the money to charity, but it turns out the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: guy himself is a registered high-risk sex offender with a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: long rap sheet. They forgot to mention that in the story. Now,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the New York Times is conceding that they now realize
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he's a crook, he's a sex offender, he's a criminal
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: with a past, so they're They're not apologizing, but they
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: are confessing to it a little. Bill Maher, good for him.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He's going after the media. You know, there's, there was,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: as Michael Goodwin was talking about at the last hour,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: trying to weaponize 9-11, trying to use it against Trump,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: trying to pretend there's all kinds of, uh, anti-Muslim problems
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: going on. They're not. If you look at the, uh,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: hate crimes and attacks, it's almost all against Jews, not Muslims. Uh,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but Bill Maher going after the media for refusing to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: call the 9-11 attacks terrorism. Uh, Told you last week,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the Canadian broadcasting, the CBC, the big network of Canada,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: ordered the people not to call it terrorism, to call
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it a plane hijacking, a hijacking that ended in a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: plane crash. They're not allowed to say terrorism. Well, it
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: turns out the BBC, pretty much the same thing. The
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: BBC does not want to call it terrorism. According to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the BBC, it's a barrier to understanding.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And as Mars says, it's a barrier to understanding lying.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And good for him going after the media who just
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: refused to, I mean, can you imagine? They're always trying
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to rewrite history. But to rewrite 9-11, I mean, that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the one thing you can't argue with. Speaking of 9-11,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: at the ceremony on Friday, Rudy Giuliani was seen shaking
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: hands with Mamdani. Giuliani said, you know, people are moving along.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, next thing you know, he's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: facing the guy. And Mamdani put his hand out to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: shake hands, and Giuliani said, it was the right thing
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to do. You're at the 9-11 ceremony. He can't get
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: rude with anybody. So he said it was just the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: appropriate thing to do. So he shook his hand. But
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they were seen talking. What did he actually say to him?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: He said, I said to him, I said to Mamdani,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I pray for you all the time. And he said
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Mamdani responded by saying, thank you. Ha! But they got
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: these body language people and these lip readers who studied
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the video. And they said Giuliani's eyebrows are up. They
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: go up in recognition and acknowledgement. But his frown grows
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the longer they shake hands. He said you could see
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: he wasn't happy about the connection. Hey, Ilhan Omar, Justice Department,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen said,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It appears to them she did marry her brother. She
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: married her brother as part of an alleged fraudulent immigration
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: scheme and can face deportation. So they're working on that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: This brother now lives in London. Omar became a citizen
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in 2000. You know, she was only 17 at the time.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But they believe she did indeed marry her brother. They
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: will try to get her out of the country based
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: on that. And that should happen. The wheels of justice
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: grind very, very slowly. So it should happen at some point.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: So what's the toughest place to buy a house right now?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Like where the demand is the greatest. Like if you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to move there, you'd have a lot of trouble
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: finding a house. Toughest place in America right now to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: find a house. Demand is so great and the supply
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is running out. Where is it? No, it's not Florida.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It's the New York City suburbs. The New York City suburbs,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: people are moving out like crazy. And the number one
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: is Long Island. Long Island homeowners, if you're trying to

  Speaker 1: sell a home right now, very easy. People are fleeing
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the city to the suburbs, to Long Island. Long Island

  Speaker 1: No, but a lot of normal people. Have you ever
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: been to New York?
• 14:45

• 14:55

  Speaker 1: Take care. Let's go to Chris in Long Island. Chris,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, Chris.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Got another celebrity airport for you.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a clue. He was the president of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the United States.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: And he was from Missouri.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not a celebrity. You mean Harry Truman?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But you mentioned.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a little different. As we said, a
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: lot of airports are named for presidents. And there's a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of airports named for senators. And there's a
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of airports named for military people. But for a celebrity,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a show business celebrity, to have an airport, very unusual.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: World's shortest list. They just voted in Tennessee to name
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the airport after Dolly Parton. But it's a short list.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: John Lennon Airport, Liverpool. John Wayne Airport, Orange County, California.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: There's a Bob Hope Airport in California. There's a Louis
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Armstrong Airport in New Orleans. But that's about it. Be
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a celebrity, have an airport named after you. Very short list.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Silk in Massachusetts. Silk, how are you doing?
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: Good. I enjoy listening to you. I know you have
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: Massachusetts connections.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Forty years ago, a case that got no publicity, I
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: was appointed, paid $ 1, 000 to defend a murder case. involving
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: a man who strangled his girlfriend. He was found not
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: guilty by reason of insanity after testifying, had a wonderful judge,
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: wonderful prosecutor, wonderful jury, and a good defense attorney, me.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: That was you. Well, you did a good job. What
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about since then? Have you been doing any more cases?
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: No, I'm 98 years old.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Wow, God bless you.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: I'm still a member of the bar, but the case
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: got no publicity, and the newspapers, the media, didn't like
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: the result. But everybody is dead except me. He was
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: released after going from one state hospital to another And
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: then he was on the street. Three years later, he
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: died of a brain tumor.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, all right. Well, Silk, you did a great job.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: You sound like it was an incredible case. Good job.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Will in Somerset. Will,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Pretty good, Mark.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: So talk about airports with celebrity names.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Santa Rosa, California, which is about 45 minutes north of
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: San Francisco, is named after Charles Schultz, the cartoonist.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Really? I didn't know that. All right, there's another one.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Charles Schultz. Charles Schultz got an airport? He got an
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: airport named after him? What the hell were they?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: In fact, if you go there, there's a couple of
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: bronze statues of peanut characters out in front of the building.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: All right. But the people of a certain age, younger people,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: must be landing there going, who the hell is Charles Schultz?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: He must be from there to get the airport named
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: after him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: No, actually, I'm not.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I'm from New York. I was born in Staten Island.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Schultz must be from there.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I have friends out there that I flew in there
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: a couple times.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Let's go to Lou, Union,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. Lou, how are you doing?
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning, Mark.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: The girl who's hosting the Emmy tonight, wasn't her mother
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Jane Mansfield, she got killed in a car accident many
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: years ago?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely right. Marissa Hargitay, who's on Law & Order.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Father was Mickey Hargitay, who was married to Jane Mansfield.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I think it was him that was, he was the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: one driving, and they were in a terrible car accident.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Jane Mansfield died very young. She got decapitated, I believe,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: in that car accident.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: So Marissa Hargitay, you know, if you watch the old
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Law & Order reruns, she was pretty hot, that Marissa Hargitay.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: If you look at her now, a little different nowadays,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but still going strong. She's on Law & Order. Anyway,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: let's go to Al in Yonkers. Al, how are you doing?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Good, Mark.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Mark, I want to say if you agree, you know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: in New York, when after 9-11, Mayor Giuliani could have
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: pushed the limit with term limits, but being an honorable
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: person that he is, he didn't. in chicago they don't
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: have term limits in their brand in uh... john said
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: he was going to run again. And one of his predecessors,
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: one of the Daly sons, he served for way too long.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Don't you believe Chicago should have term limits for mayor?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I think everybody should have term limits. You know,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that was really Netanyahu's problem. You know, he's a great
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: leader and beloved, but then he became They always say
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: when you get in your fourth term, you're always going
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to get hated. It always happens. Ed Koch was a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: great example. People loved him. But Koch said, once you
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: get into that third term, they start to turn on you.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And your fourth term, they hate you. It's just too much. Yeah, no, Giuliani,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I think he knew there was no way to get
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a third term. It was impossible. Bloomberg was able to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: pull it off because he was a billionaire with endless
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: money and resources, spent a fortune. to get himself uh...
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: another term but that was not easy to do let's
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: go to uh... vincent brooklyn vincent how you doing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Good morning mark mark thanks for bringing up the problem
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: of all these illegal street vendors but even more importantly
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: over here in bay ridge on fourth avenue and thirty
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: six street the subway line which is uh... it's a
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: very big junction point there's a lot of connections over
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: there i've seen this woman there several times She has
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: a fold-up table. She has a fold-up table. She's a
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Mexican woman. And she's selling pre-prepared food and drinks on
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: the platform. And she's doing a booming business. And when
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: I saw it, she's unscathed. I've never seen a police
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: officer go over and question her. You know, ask her
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: for her food vendor's license. And more importantly, like when
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: you buy food off of a food truck, they have
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: a Department of Health, a Board of Health inspection certificate.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: I'm saying to myself, who knows where this food was
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: prepared and what filthy rat and cockroach-infested kitchen or cellar.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: I remember years ago, they posted a whole expose about
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: some food trucks that were coming in from Jersey and
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: going to Times Square on 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: They were preparing the food in these garages in Jersey.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: That's a very good point. You really got to be careful.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Don't buy any food from any place like that. You're right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It's dangerous. Vincent, great call. We got to go to
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the news because coming up next, Bruce Blakeman, the next
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: governor of New York, Bruce Blakeman. We'll talk to him.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: We'll get the latest on the race coming up on 710WOR. Well,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman should be the next governor of New York.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: He's been the county executive in Nassau County for years.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: That's a job that's pretty similar to governor. He's considered
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the best county executive in America. Now, you can help him.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Donate. Volunteer. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Bruce Blakeman,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: We're doing great, Mark. Our campaign has really hit its stride.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: We've got a lot of momentum. We're in a statistical
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: dead heat now with Kathy Hochul. And I fully expect,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: with the help of all your listeners, that we will
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: be victorious on November 3rd and January 1st. You'll be
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: swearing in a new governor who cares about New Yorkers
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: and puts New Yorkers first, wants to make New Yorkers happy.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: We're the most overtaxed state in the United States. We
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: need to cut our taxes. I've got a plan to
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: do that. We need to cut our utility rates. Our
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: utility rates in New York State are 70% higher than
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the national average. And Kathy Hochul is the most pro-criminal
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: governor in the United States of America with cashless bail
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: and everything else she does to make it easier for
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: criminals to prey on our community. So that ends on
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: January 1st. We will get out of our economic death spiral.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: We'll create great jobs. And we will have a New
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: York state where people are prosperous, safe, and healthy.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you did it in Nassau County. You probably
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: saw this survey that came out, the most moved-to destination
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in America right now. Hardest place to find a house
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: so many people are going there is Nassau County right now.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty amazing.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Listen, it's not rocket science. The bottom line is...
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: If you keep taxes low, I haven't raised taxes a
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: penny in four years. As a matter of fact, I
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: cut a $ 150 million tax increase on my predecessor. If
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: you make communities safer, I've hired over 700 new law
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: enforcement professionals. U.S. News and World Report says we're the
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: safest county in America. And if you create jobs and
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: economic activity so people have higher wages, more money in
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: their pocket, So they can spend money the way they
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: want rather than have government take their money and spend
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: it the way they don't want, like Kathy Hochul's been
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: doing by spending billions of dollars on people who aren't
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers. It's not hard to do. And I will
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: do that when I become governor. And people will be
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: more prosperous. They will live in safer communities. And they'll
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: have lower taxes and lower energy bills.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: He's not just saying it. He's done this. Now you
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: can help. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. She's agreed to one debate,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and it's on the very biased left-wing New York One.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: But you think you'll be able to get another debate.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Out of her?
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. I have accepted seven debates, and this is
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: the only one that she accepted. It's only an hour long,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: and it's on the most narrow media outlet of all
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the invitations that we got. Kathy Hochul can't talk about
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: her record because it's a record of failure. I can
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: talk about my record because of the good things that
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I've done to make my county so successful. But Kathy
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Hochul has us in an economic death spiral. It's unaffordable
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: because of her and it's unsafe because of her. So
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: she doesn't want to defend her record. If she had
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: such a great record, she would accept every debate so
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: she could tout all the good things that she's done.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: But she can't do that because It's a record of misery.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: We need a governor that puts New Yorkers first and
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: makes New Yorkers happy.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: So these other offers, you mean like Channel 4, Channel 2,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox 5, and then some other smaller
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: media outlets. We've accepted all of their invitations. This is
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: the only one Kathy Hochul has agreed to do. And
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it anyway. I think that people
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: will have an opportunity to see exactly what my record is,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: one of making people happy versus her record of making
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: people absolutely miserable.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Wow. So she's turned down the big stations. She'll do
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a New York one, the tiniest station, because it's very biased,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: very left-wing. You're going to be debating three people, her
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and the anchors.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: That's okay. Mark, you know what? I'm up for it. Uh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: there are a lot more Democrats in this state than Republicans.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of independent voters and they're all coming
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: my way every day. Another Democrat walks up to me
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: and says, Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Republican before in my life. I'm voting for you. I'm
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: voting Republican this year. Uh, these people are nuts. And
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: by the way, we have an independent line, the vote
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: affordable line. And that's for people who may not want
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: to vote Republican or conservative. So if you want to
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: vote on an independent line, you can vote the Affordable Party.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: And that gives you an opportunity to vote for me
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: and not feel like you're going to get electrocuted if
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: you vote Republican.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Hey, they always, Democrats keep pushing affordability. That's their big issue.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the actual numbers, the affordability crisis,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it's really taxes. That's the number one expense most people
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: have now are taxes. So there is a way to
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: cut that, isn't there?
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, it's taxes and it's utility bills. So first
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: of all, with respect to taxes, if you're a joint filer,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: under my plan, your first $ 100, 000, no tax, no state
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: income tax. That's number one. Single filer, $ 50, 000, no tax.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: That's number one. Number two, the other big cost is
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: your utility bill. She's approved 48 rate hikes, and she
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: is now going to give people a check that for
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: between $ 100 and $ 200 right before the election, what she
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: calls a rebate. It's a scam. She took your money
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: and she took $ 1, 000 and now she's giving you back $ 200.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a shell game. And people will see
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: through that. People aren't stupid. And they know that this
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: is an election year scam. So they'll get a check
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: for $ 200. Hey, Kathy, give it all back. Whatever you raised,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: in utility costs over the last four years, give it back.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That's what I would do.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, hey, you can help in the campaign. Just
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. You can donate, volunteer, BlakemanForNewYork.com. A lot
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of people in New York City, they're very worried about
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: getting through three years of Mamdani. When you become the governor,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: what can you do to rein in Mamdani's craziness?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the governor has a tremendous power
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: over New York City. So I am not going to
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: let him ruin the economy of New York City. That
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: is not going to happen with me as governor, number one.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Number two, I am not going to allow lawlessness in
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: New York City. I'm not going to allow him to
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: defund the police. I'm not going to allow him to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: handcuff our police. I want to make sure that we
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: make New York City safe so that we will attract businesses,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: will attract people to the city. And right now, people
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: are leaving by the hundreds of thousands because they don't
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: like the policies of Mondami and Hochul. And let's face it,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the guy's an anti-Semite. He's anti-Christian. And quite frankly, he's anti-American.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: And Kathy Hope endorsed him and he endorsed her. So
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: they're in bed together. And the fact of the matter
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: is that we don't need people who don't share the
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: values of our parents and our grandparents. What we need
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to do is get back to those values because it
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: made a really, really good state and a really great city.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: And if we get back to those values, we can
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: restore that greatness once again.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: So, Bruce Blakeman, the big attack ad she and her
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: super PACs are running, the big attack ads against you
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: are that you're friends with Donald Trump. It's actually quite
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a compliment if that's the only thing they can come
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: up with to attack you for.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Well, she doesn't want to talk about her record. She
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: wants to talk about Donald Trump. Donald Trump didn't raise
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: your taxes to be the highest taxed state in the
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: United States. Donald Trump didn't Raise your utility bills so
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: they're now 70% higher than the national average. Kathy Hochul
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: did that. She's the one that's made it unaffordable. We
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: are number 50, Mark, out of 50 states in economic outlook.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: It doesn't get worse than that. There's only 50 states.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: That is the bottom. And we were the once great
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: empire state. And the fact is that there's no economic activity.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: People are leaving. Businesses are leaving. Jobs are leaving. We've
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: got to stop that death spiral.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you've gone from 20 points behind to almost tied
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: right now, and you're still climbing. What is it you
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: want people to do for you right now, people listening?
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Well, as you said, go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. We're up against
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: the Democratic machine. We're up against the DSA, people who
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: don't share our American values. They're socialists slash communists. And
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: please make a contribution. It's very important. Volunteer. Make a list.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Make a list of your friends, your neighbors, your relatives,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: your co-workers, and keep calling them until they promise you
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: that they voted because turnout is going to be a
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: big factor. We need a big turnout for people who
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: want lower taxes, lower energy bills, and safer communities.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you want to donate, go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. Well,

• 32:23
  Speaker 1: talk again soon. Bruce Blakeman, thanks for being with us.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Mark, and I appreciate your friendship.
• 32:30

• 32:32
  Speaker 3: God bless America.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: All right. Bruce Blakeman, thanks for being with us. Take care. Yeah,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: everybody help out. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. Well, the price of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: oil has been spiking up today. Yeah, it is high.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Now it's a problem. It's backed off a little. It
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was $ 104. Now it's $ 102 a barrel. The reason for
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the sudden spike is a Saudi Arabian pipeline hit. A
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: blown up explosion by what looked like it's believed to
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: be drones from Iran. Iran believed to be behind it. Now,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: it's a pipeline. It can be repaired. It'll take a

  Speaker 1: little while, but once that's fixed and Flowing again, that'll
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: change things. And once you get the Strait of Hormuz open,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that'll help. And remember, within about a year and a half,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz will be totally irrelevant. Pipelines are
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: being built right now in every direction so that they
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: will no longer depend on the Strait of Hormuz. Within
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: two years, that'll be accomplished. Hey, it's going to be
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: a beautiful day today, so enjoy it. Not as warm, mid-70s,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: but sunny. It's the final eight days of summer. Final
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: eight days. The weather's going to be in the 70s,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: but really nice this week. The final week and a
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: half of summer. Hey, we're out of time. Don't forget
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I start at 9 o'clock now, 9 a.m. to noon.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: It's now three hours. So I'll be back tomorrow, 9 o'clock.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Talk to you then. Have a great day. Mark Simone
