  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York Kates Mark Simone
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: show on seven tenor.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it was quite a mare old debate last night.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: We will get to that. We'll go over in great detail.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the latest meltdown from the Democrats. The
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: trumpt derangement syndrome has them going nuts over the White
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: House ballroom. This is but the weirdest, most bizarre meltdown
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: they've had so far. We'll get to Ice in New York,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to Robert de Niro and a whole
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: lot more coming up. Last night's debate was much better
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: than the first debate. It was New York one, which
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: most people don't see, and it was Eron Lewis's the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: most biased, the left wing guy in the world. Everybody
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: thinking he should have accused himself, but he was good,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: He behaved himself and he was better than those Channel
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: four moderators. He let people talk, so good job. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: then the other one was a de Brian Lear's, very
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: very left wing sort of guys doing this, but they
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: were good, they behaved themselves and it was a well
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: done debate. Now who won the debate, Well, Curtis was
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the best there was no question about that. If he
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: just went on content, Curtis clearly way ahead of him.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But but a lot of people think Como won the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: debate because he's usually terrible in debates. He's not a
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: good debater, and he stinks in these debates. In the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: first two debates he had with Mom Donnie, the primary debates,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: he was just awful. But last night he surprised everybody.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Was pretty good in the debate. He wasn't as good
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: as Curtis on content, but in style and confidence, he's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: learning to talk a little faster. Last night he surprised everybody,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and some analysts actually think he won, even though Curtis
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: was better and content wise, he won by not stinking,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: by actually holding his own own with Mom Donnie. Curtis
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: had the best lines in the debate.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I get a good belly laughs. All right, I'll keep practice.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I get a good belly laugh. Every time I hear
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you say free fair in the subways. Half the people
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: don't pay you anyway.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: How about fair enhorcement.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Now, the problem with these debates, it's three people. If
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it were two debates, you know, you think back to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Hillary and Trump, You think back to the one debate
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that absolutely turned a race around that was Reagan against Carter.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Reagan was on track to lose. He just wiped out
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Carter in that debate. And it was but the key
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to that was it was two people. It was one
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: on one. When you put three people in there, it
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: changes the whole mix. And the moderators were very careful
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to try to keep the spotlight off Curtis. They focused
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: on Cuomo. They focused on Mom Donnie as if they
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: were the two major party candidates. Remember it's Cuomo who's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the third party candidate. It's Sliwa who's the major party candidate.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He's the Republican candidate. Mom Downey's the Democratic candidate. Should
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: have been the two of them head to head. They
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: put Cuomo in even though he's a third party candidate,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: because he's high in the polls. But it kind of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: screws up the debate for Curtis. You don't get it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They just tried not to give him too much time.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But every time they went to him, he was great
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: content wise, position wise, issues wise, most voters would agree
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: with Curtis, so on content he won. But Cuomo surprised everybody,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: but not being as bad as he usually is in debates.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He's more a Curtis.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I've taken this subway almost every day of my life
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: since I was five. The worst time was the summer
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: of twenty seventeen, the summer of hell.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Angewel Cuomo, when you were running.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: The subway, says, stuffs ahead of the I don't trust
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you with anything.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Well that's a good point. I don't know how much
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: that registered with everybody. But when Cuomo was governor, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: governor runs the subways. The MTA is controlled by the governor.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's his chairman. He has the most seats on the board.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And twenty seventeen Cuomo screwed up the subways. I don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: know if you remember that, but all the subways were
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: late trains can't It was real mess. The reason for
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that is he was trying to score political points with
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the subway by putting all the money into new cars,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: new trains. Remember you would depose with the look at
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: this new train car, state of the art car. What
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He completely screwed up the subway system by using it
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: as a piggy bank to take money out of there.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: So they didn't have enough money, and it got so bad,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and the outcry was so huge. He had a beg
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Joe Loader to come back. The old MTA commissioner, who's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the best guy at fixing the subways. He came back
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: right away and I talked to him privately about it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and he told me the real problem when you drain
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the money out of there, use it as a piggy
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: bank for other projects. They're not spending the money where
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it needs to be spent. You don't want to spend
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it on new subway cars. It's not what you need.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Most important thing, pumps, switches, fans, the things that make
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the trains run, the little stuff. So Loda put that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: all back. It took a few months, but he got
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the subways back to normal. But Cuomo did screw it
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: up back then. He made a lot of disastrous moves
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: as governor. That's the problem now. The opening of the debate
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: was great, Mam Donnie, really, Mam Donnie. As summer argument
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: didn't have a great night because he had to be
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: evasive on a lot of things, some of his more
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: controversial stuff. So he was evasive a lot through the debate.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But he's slick, and he's a fast talker, and me,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you talk really fast. People might not notice how evasive
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you are. But he really went after Cuomo.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Andrew Cuomo will spend much of tonight attacking me.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: He is a.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Desperate man, lashing out because he knows that the one
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: thing he's always cared about, power is now slipping away
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: from him.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, If he doesn't win this, I don't know
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: where he goes next. Of course, they kept hitting Mam
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Donnie on experience.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I did see this.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: You have never had a job, You've never accomplished anything.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: There's no reason to believe you have any merit or
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: qualify k.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: For eight and a half million lives.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: You don't know how to run a government, you don't
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: know how to handle an emergency.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: The issue is that we have all experienced your experience.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: The issue is that we experienced you take me five
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: million dollar book deal while you sent seniors to their
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: deaths and nursing homes.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem with Cuomo's argument. He was good
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: last night. But when you say, you know, you gotta
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: have experience, what if there's a health crisis, Well, we
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: had one of with Cuomo and he was terrible. He
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: was awful. He killed people in the nursing homes, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you know, when it comes to crime. He really screwed
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: up our criminal system with his no bail, no jail
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and all that stuffy. But he's right about mom Donnie.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: We've never ever ever elected somebody who's twelve years old,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: only been a citizen five minutes, never had a job.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It's unheard of. As Curtis said last night.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Sure on your resume could fit on a cocktail napkin,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and Andrew your failures could fill a public school library
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: in New York City.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. But it was quite a debate.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Trump was an issue for somehow in this debate.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: I will fight him every single step of the way.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: He has no respect for him.
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: He thinks he's a kid, and he's gonna knock him
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: on his tookis ye.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So, but Curtis got very emotional at some point. You know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Mamdanie obviously would stink on crime. We saw Cuomo was
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: really bad on crime as governor, the no bail, no jail,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the closing the prisons, the taking away the qualified immunity
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: from cops. So Curtis got very emotional there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: So how can both of you look at me? I
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: almost launched my oldest son to gang violence. And the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: perpetrators went to family court and got a little pet
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: on the wrist and was sent home to do it
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: again and again.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it's a great moments in that debate.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, it's on YouTube, you can
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you can go watch it. There as more on Trump,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and we.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: First just heard from the Republican candidate for mayor, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: then we heard from Donald Trump's puppet himself, Andrew Cuomo.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: You could turn on TV any day of the week
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: and you will hear Donald Trump share that his pick
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: for mayor is Andrew Cuomo. And he wants Andrew Cuomo
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: to be the mayor, not because it will be good
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: for New Yorkers, but because it will be good for him.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Now, Trump's not an Andrew Cuomo fan, but he just
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't like Curtis. He's never like Curtis. He doesn't like Curtis.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: He's also remember he's far away. He's not here in
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: New York watching everything day and night. He's in Washington.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: He's president. He's very busy, so he's not real up
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: close on this election. But he just thinks Cuomo's the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: better shot, and that's why he's been pushing Cuomo. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: when you see these guys out there like Bill Ackman
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and these other billionaires. Bill Ackman's a good example. They're
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: all out there fighting for Cuomo. The reason is this
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is Trump. Trump is using them to do this. Trump
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: is on the phone with guys like Bill Ackman day
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and night. He's had them come down to Washington for lunch,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: for dinner. He's pressuring them like crazy to get Curtis
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: out of the race. Do everything they can, and they're
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: doing this. They're really going crazy trying to get Curtis out.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It's not because they care that much about the about Cuomo.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: It's just they want to ingratiate themselves with Trump. They
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: need other stuff from Trump. So he's been really pushing them,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: really pushing them for weeks now. From what I've heard
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: last night and the night before in conversations, he's starting
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to admit and in fact, earlier this week he started admitting,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Cuomo's not a great candidate. I
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: don't know if Cuomo can do it. So he might
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: be easing the pressure on these guys, but we'll see again.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Cuomo had a good night last night. Good night. He
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: was strong in the debate.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: And I also know that the jobs we create in
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: the building of that housing should be good jobs as well.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Answer, what is your opinion?
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: Job?
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Come on, yes, what is your opinion?
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: Know?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: So true may be a politician. They're pointing out what
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I was about to question. My question to you was.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Do you support the three ballid amendment questions?
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I have not yet taken a position on those ballot questions.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: What a shocker.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Now that was a problem a few times, several times
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: on a ballot issue or some issue, he just wouldn't
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: take a position. Now in New York you got things
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: like New York one or Channel four that they're the
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: most left wing, bias slanted. So the problem is they
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: won't be all over him. They should be following him
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: around demanding he said he needs to think about it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: They should be demanding you think about it and give
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: him an answer. They should be all over the campaign
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: demanding an answer. But again they're very slanted. They won't
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: do it. Here's what he.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Says, that taking five years to build affordable housing is
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: the sign of an incompetent government. By his own words,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: that means he must have led an incompetent government.
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: The governor doesn't build housing in New York City, not
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: if it's you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: It's a good point, you know, if the problem is
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: lack of housing, if the problem is affordability, well, Democrats
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: have been the whole place for fifteen years. They've been
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: controlling the legislature of the city Council, the mayor's office,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: city Hall, the governors. They controlled everything. So if it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: such a crisis, get rid of them, get another party,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: try somebody else.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: There are jurisdictions.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: The governor doesn't pick up trash, he doesn't.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Run the fire department.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: That's what the mayor does. The mayor bills housing.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: The state allocates funding for localities, and I allocated more
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: funding for housing than any governor in the history of
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: the State of New York.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, but again he yells all this stuff.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: But if that's the case, how come we have such
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a crisis.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: You have never had a job, you've never accomplished anything.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: There's no reason to believe you have any merit or
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: qualification for eight and a half million lives. You don't
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: know how to run a government, you don't know how
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: to handle an emergency, and you've literally never proposed a
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: bill on anything that you're now talking about in your campaign.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: All right, but so you hear that, Oh was good
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: last night. He had a good debate. He was very good.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Not like the slow talker from the first debates in
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the primary, he just was awful against Mom Donnie. Mam
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Donnie just wiped him out. But he was good last night.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: He had a good night. So we'll see if that doesn't.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: You know, one of the big problems with this race,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: we haven't had any polling at all. You know, you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: see it sometimes in the news, you'll see some poll
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it's just some junk pole, some college poll, some tiny
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: polling company, nobody ever heard of. These aren't These are
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: totally worthless. These polls. I wouldn't trust him for a second.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: A couple of them done by Cuomo people disguised, you know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: as somebody else, but I wouldn't. So we have never
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: had any real polling in the last few weeks, and
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: we've had no polling after the first debate or the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: second debate, so we really don't know anything. Kind of
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: flying blind, So we'll see what happened. You know, what's
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: interesting all the people that are pushing Cuomo, you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the Bill Ackman gotta get Cuomo. We can't have done.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: We got. They don't like Cuomo at all. You don't
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: think much of them. They don't think he'd be great.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It's just that they hate Mam Donnie. They just think
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie is so bad. We'll settle. We'll settle for Cuomo,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: who you can't stand. And Cuomo was on the morning
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: show this morning here at w R. He was here
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and he admitted to that. Litsten to him, talk to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Larry Mente. He actually admitted, nobody really likes him. They
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: just hate Mam Donnie Moore.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: If you're saying you will only vote for me because
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: you dislike Zoron Moore, it's not flattering.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well there you go, no kidding. Anyway, we got.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to the mirror debate. Well, we've got
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: lots to say about it. We'll get to that. We'll
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: get to we'll get to the ballroom meltdown. It's hysterical
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: this and it's a silly thing for Democrats. They're going
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: crazy over the ballroom. You know, they destroyed the East Wing.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: They're taking down part of the East Wing, but they'll
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: put it right back with a ballroom attached to it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why they're doing this because it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: not like the federal government building. And if the government
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: built it, this ballroom would take ten fifteen years. This
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: is Trump building it. He'll have it finished in four
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: or five months, and it will look magnificent. It looks
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: so beautiful that you'll sound nuts that you were complaining
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: about it. You know, you know what's in the east wing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: You know, you saw they knocked down the wall and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: half the east wing. You know what that was. You
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: know what's in the east wing? Nothing? Really. It does
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: have the first Lady's office in it, but that's two
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: three rooms. You know, you can move that to somewhere
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: else in the building very easily. But what's the big
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: stuff in the east wing. The biggest thing in there
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: is the calligraphy office. Seriously, it's a big, huge calligraphy center,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and that's where they do the place cards for the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: dinner and the invitations. So that's what got knocked out there.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: But this is nothing. This construction nothing compared to what's
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: been done in the White House before nineteen forty eight.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Truman gutted the entire White House, literally gutted it. All
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that was left was the exterior walls. They gutted the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: entire White House and rebuilt it. So but there's a
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: million Check out my Twitter. There's a picture up there
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of like twelve different times, twelve different presidents where you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: see massive wrecking balls and cranes tearing up parts of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the White House. Done all the time. But anyway, we'll
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: get back to that. We'll take some calls in a minute.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: time and tap the preset button.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on woor Ah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Diane in Illinois. Diane,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: I'm doing good, Mark, good morning.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: You know I was looking at the price tag that'll
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: bollow you his fa port three hundred and seventy six million,
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: and that's just basketball court. Trump is building a nine
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: hundred seat ballroom for three hundred million. What would Obama's
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: basketball court? What would that translate into money wise in
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: the year twenty twenty five.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Trump is always pointing that out when the
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: government builds a building like that new terminal at LaGuardia
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: twenty four billion private sector. If they had done it
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: eight hundred million. They just overspent. Like Trump said in
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the they said how much would a wall cost on
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the border, and he said whatever, he said one two billion,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and he pointed to the Senator. He goes, twelve billion
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: if these guys did it. Yeah, Obama spent exactly three
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty million to build a basketball court.
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: And Trump dies, But I guess, but in my what
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: would three hundred and seventy six million translate into dollars
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: in twenty twenty.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Five, Probably four hundred and fifty million, So like half
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars to build a basketball court. Thanks for calling, Diane.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You know it's the same thing. This is all started
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: a million years ago with the woman rink, member of
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the woman rank. The city was up till like twenty
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: five million. This is back in the eighties. That's like
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: one hundred million today. So and it went on for years,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and Trump finally spoke out public. He said, it's just
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a slab of concrete. It doesn't cost anything. He got
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: no fight with Koch, and Trump said, I'll build it
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: in a few weeks. For a few hundred thousand, I'll
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: pay for it. And then Kotch called his bluff and
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: he did it. That's the difference between government doing something
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: in the private sector. Let's go to Christine in Long Island. Christine,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: But wait a minute, my market, I've listened to you
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: for decades.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Well, I hope you were taking time
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: out for meals and everything.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: Yes, okay.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: My question is this and what has Turan Mandami's done
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: as an assemblyman? He was in for five years, I believe,
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: and months ago I heard that he posted one bill,
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: but I don't know if it ever passed.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: No, he did nothing there. But that's not than usual
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: most of these assembly people. It's like part time work
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: for them. They show up once in a while, most
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: of them don't do it or anything.
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: Voters pick this up.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Last month, a voter called in from Idaho sang, what
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: has this man done? Nobody talks about what has he
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: actually done?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Well, imagine if you had actual, actual media instead of biased,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: corrupt media, they would be covering this constantly. Where are
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you in Long Island.
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: I'm in ROCKFLA.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're gonna vote for Bruce Blakeman I hope absolutely
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: all right. And Ann Donnelly's running for DA. Bruce Blakeman
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: the best county executive in America. Make sure you vote
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: for him. Let's go to Denise and Staten Island. Denise,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: how you doing, holl good morning?
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: More tell you good?
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: I wanted to ask you if you could point.
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: Out that at last night's debate. First of all, I'm
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: a big supporter of Courteslila, and I will be early
• 18:53
  Speaker 12: voting for him Saturday morning. I'm on the South Shore
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: area of Staten Island. But I'd like you to point
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: out some time today if you could one point that
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: Curtis Sliema made last night and the room fell silent,
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: and the.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Other two just that point.
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: He's mentioned how billions were coming into New York are
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: being paid for legal immigrants. Well every day New York
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: citizens were sufferings financially.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Once he's made that point, everybody makes that point all
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the time, all that money wasted on the illegals that
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: could have been taking care of New Yorkers. Let's go
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: to Mike in New Jersey. Mike, how you doing, Mark?
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: How you doing?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Good? I'll tell you the thing like this, Curtis is
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: probably the best carrying we've had in a very long time.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: A man had spent decades of his life fighting crime.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: You know, he volunteered to do that. And he also
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: said the homeless he dealt with a lot of crazy people. Yes,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: he very dedicated self, was individual and he has these
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: articulate he has.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Ideas familiar, familiar with Curtis.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: I get it. In the end of the day, they
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: want to blame Curtis. If God forbid, this guy's are
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: on Winds wins. This is a societal issue. There's not
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Curtis leeless problems.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: No Curtis belongs in the race. Everything you said is correct.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: If you want to blame somebody, blame Cuomo. What the
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: hell is he doing in this race? Why did he
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: even show up for this Curtis? Everything you just said
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: is correct. And Clomo's never even lived in New York City.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: He's from the suburbs. You know, every mayor who's run
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for mayor of New York lives in New York City.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Is the first time we've ever had a mayor who
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: spent his entire adult life not living in New York City,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: living in the suburbs. We've had mayors born out of town.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: You know. Mike Bloomberg was from Massachusetts. David Dinkins grew
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: up in New Jersey, but they all lived in New
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: York City their entire adult life. One more real fast,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Katie and Chappaqua.
• 20:49
  Speaker 13: Katie, how you doing, Hi, Mark, I have a comment
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: about the debate, and then I have a question. So
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: I watched it online and you know, on the side
• 20:59
  Speaker 13: there's check comments and there it was really fun, I
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: mean almost There was lots and lots of support for
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: Curtis and mostly criticism for Cuomo and Mandani. And then
• 21:11
  Speaker 13: I wanted to ask you, like, how in the world
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: could it be asking Curtis to drop out when he's
• 21:16
  Speaker 13: the only Republican and he's against two Democrats.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, most people are not asking him
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: to be out. That Trump has recruited some of these
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: public figures, some billionaires like Bill Ackman to be all
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: over the airwaves telling Curtis to drop out. But if
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you talk to actual voters, they don't want Curtis to
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: drop out. You can't. You can't have a major party
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: candidate dropout. They had Cuomo not been in the race,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: it would have been a whole different story. Culomo was
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: like a third party candidate who just showed up here
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: because he had nowhere else to go. But you got
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to give him credit. He had a good debate last night.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: He was strong in that debate last night. Hey, when
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: we come back, Steve Moore will be with us. We
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: hope we'll see.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: No.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to him. A lot of big
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: economic things to talk. We'll get to that next on
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: seven to ten. Wor Welcome back to the Mark Simone
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Show seven, Jen Woor. Well, Steve Moore, the great economists.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: You should get his book, The Trump Economic Miracle. You
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: love it, of course, read all his columns. And he
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: runs the Committee to Unleash Prosperity and every day they

• 22:33
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: Hey, Mark, you're doing well. Thanks for having me. What
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: a tumultuous week. The government is still shut down.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: It's unbelievable.
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: I thought this would last a couple of days. It's
• 22:43
  Speaker 14: been several weeks now it's causing more and more disruption.
• 22:47
  Speaker 14: I don't know if you've been traveling at all, but
• 22:48
  Speaker 14: there's a you know, a lot of delays at the
• 22:50
  Speaker 14: airports and so on. So we got to get this
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: thing settled. But Republicans cannot cave in here. I mean,
• 22:55
  Speaker 14: we're trying to slice just a little bit of the
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: cost of our government, and the Democrats won't even allow it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: Two cents saving out of every dollar that we're spending,
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: two cents out of every dollar.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: It's unbelievable.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: So if you listen to Chuck Schumer, it's healthcare premiums.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Everybody's going to die. I what is the truth about
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: this fight with the healthcare.
• 23:13
  Speaker 14: Well, I think the real villain here. I mean, this
• 23:15
  Speaker 14: is a teachable lesson for all of us that remember
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: it was fifteen years ago that we passed Obamacare. In fact,
• 23:21
  Speaker 14: I was just looking on Fox News and they were
• 23:23
  Speaker 14: sapping up they showed a you know, a clip of
• 23:28
  Speaker 14: Obama signing the Obamacare law. Do you remember, Mark, what
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: the name of the Obamacare.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Law was, the Affordable Care Act.
• 23:39
  Speaker 14: I mean, how ironic. I mean, all that's happened since
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: we pasked the quote Affordable Care Actors that healthcare gets
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: more and more and more expensive. Report the other day
• 23:50
  Speaker 14: that the average family is now paying thirty thousand dollars
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: a year what on health insurance because it's just so
• 23:57
  Speaker 14: expensive now and so and by the way, some of
• 23:59
  Speaker 14: that is employed paid by their employers, but it's it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 14: a giant it's a giant tax on the American economy.
• 24:06
  Speaker 14: By the way, the insurance companies are one of.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: The villains here. They're in on this.
• 24:10
  Speaker 14: They're all for expanding Obama Care subsidies because the money
• 24:12
  Speaker 14: goes right into their pockets. But what they're basically saying
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: is we want to make sure that people were not
• 24:18
  Speaker 14: even eligible for Medicare and Medicaid get the get the benefits.
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: Because you know, we're so we're so rich with cash
• 24:25
  Speaker 14: in Washington, we can be passing around free money. It's
• 24:27
  Speaker 14: really it's really quite outrageous. And we if we if
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: the Republicans came in here, we might as well just say, Okay,
• 24:33
  Speaker 14: we're going to run two trillion dollar efforts from now
• 24:35
  Speaker 14: until forever.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me issu you something. You know, they announced
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the terrorists. Everybody says that's going to crash the whole market.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: They announce shutdown. It's going to crash the whole market.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Russian sanctions is going to crash the whole market. Market
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: is fine, it's setting new records all the time. Why
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: is that?
• 24:50
  Speaker 14: This is that it is unbelievable. By the way, just
• 24:53
  Speaker 14: give you some context here. You know the forty let's see,
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: forty five years ago that Ronald Reagan was elected president.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Do you know what the Dow Jones Industrial average was
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: back then?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: There sixth though.
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: Not even close, my friends, it was one thousand. What
• 25:13
  Speaker 14: to think about that, it was one thousand. You can
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: look it up, the Dows at one thousand.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Now here we are.
• 25:18
  Speaker 14: Forty five years later, after the Reagan Revolution and the
• 25:20
  Speaker 14: Trump Revolution, and it is at forty forty six thousand
• 25:25
  Speaker 14: last time I checked. So we've seen the biggest period
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: of wealth creation in the history of civilization.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: It's an incredible success story of the American economy. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 14: we need to get more and more Americans invested in
• 25:38
  Speaker 14: the market because that's how you make Maybe you make
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: money is you save and you invest. But now we're
• 25:44
  Speaker 14: in a situation, as you said, remember Paul Krugman, all
• 25:48
  Speaker 14: these people when when a Trump was elected both in
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: twenty sixteen and twenty twenty four. Oh my god, Armageddon's coming.
• 25:53
  Speaker 14: We're all going to die. The sock market's going to crash.
• 25:57
  Speaker 14: It's going to be another, you know, another nineteen twenty
• 26:00
  Speaker 14: nine crash. Gee, where is it then? Because you're right,
• 26:03
  Speaker 14: the market, the stock market, the Dow Jones, the Nasdaq,
• 26:08
  Speaker 14: the S and P five hundred, and the Russell two
• 26:11
  Speaker 14: thousand are at all time highs. Thank you Donald Trump.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Wow. So these Wall Street guys, I guess they know
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. So that indicate that it's a very
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: very stable economy no matter what sanctions or whatever happens.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I start say thing, Emma, the fact that the stock
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: market is holding it, it just means that it's a
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: very rock solid, steady economy underneath everything.
• 26:34
  Speaker 14: Well it is. I mean, look, the stock market is
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: very valatile, you know, and it could crash by two
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: thousand points from how you never know. But so I
• 26:41
  Speaker 14: don't want to get too carried away of the market.
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: But there is a lot of confidence in the American
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: economy right now, and I think that is a result
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: of the fact that all of this investment capital is
• 26:50
  Speaker 14: coming into the country because of Trump. You know, Trump
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: isn't attracting hundreds and hundreds of billions. He says trillions.
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: I don't know if it's trillions, but it's yeah. And
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: you know that's a lot of money. And if you
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: think all that money is coming to the American economy,
• 27:04
  Speaker 14: then of course what do you want to do. You
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: want to get in front of that. You want to
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: invest before that, right, yeah, and so you know that
• 27:12
  Speaker 14: that's what you need to do is be confident in
• 27:14
  Speaker 14: the American economy. Look, I think we need a new
• 27:17
  Speaker 14: FED chairman. You and I have talked about this because
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: we got a guy who doesn't know what he's doing
• 27:22
  Speaker 14: in jer own Powell. But how about this?
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Why is it that Larry Kudlow? Isn't it?
• 27:26
  Speaker 14: No we need because then we lose this show? Yeah, yeah,
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: with you and I are regulars on them. By the way, Mark,
• 27:33
  Speaker 14: you always do a great job on that show. I
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: always enjoy watching you. And what are you on this week?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: By the way, you out to Actually I was just
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: on yesterday, wasn't it.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 27:41
  Speaker 14: Yesterday, you got yesterday? Okay, this is yesterday. But anyway,
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: so what about Laugher? What about Steve Forbes. What about
• 27:48
  Speaker 14: somebody who actually knows something about the economy and knows
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: how to make because you know, we've had such a
• 27:52
  Speaker 14: volatile Why did we have twenty three percent increase in
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: prices under Biden? Well, partly because we spent so much money,
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: partly because we have a FED chairman who knows not
• 28:00
  Speaker 14: he doesn't know what he's doing.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Hey, the other thing that causes a great economy.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: We're doing very well as far as energy. We're improving
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: on our energy.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, what a success story this is, I.
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: Mean, our energy we are. I was just listening to
• 28:16
  Speaker 14: Chris Wright, who was a good friend of mine, by
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: the way. He's the new Energy Secretary doing a fantastic shop,
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: and he was making this point that we made in
• 28:25
  Speaker 14: the Hotline last week that the United States is now
• 28:28
  Speaker 14: producing more oil, gas and coal than any other time
• 28:31
  Speaker 14: in American history. So we're becoming an energy powerhouse again.
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: The problem is, Mark, if I may, You and I
• 28:39
  Speaker 14: are both old enough to remember the seventies and eighties
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: when Opek had at the blade at our neck and
• 28:43
  Speaker 14: they could throw the American economy into recession by you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: increasing or decreasing the amount of oil they were producing.
• 28:51
  Speaker 14: So we were completely hostage to the Arab nations and
• 28:55
  Speaker 14: to you know, the OPEC countries, many of which are
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: not very favorable in the United States. Well, we how
• 29:01
  Speaker 14: did we get out of that crisis we started? You know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 14: we had the shale oil revolution, which made America the
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: number one produced oil and we broke the back of
• 29:09
  Speaker 14: the cartel. Now why do I say that, because now
• 29:12
  Speaker 14: we have a situation with minerals, precious minerals, the critical
• 29:15
  Speaker 14: minerals we need for our national defense, for our advanced manufacturing,
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: for our microchips. And guess where we're getting the minerals
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: from where? China? How crazy is that we have twelve
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: trillion dollars of mineral resources right below our feet in
• 29:35
  Speaker 14: the mountains of West Virginia and the mountains of the
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: Dakotas and then Utah and Colorado. We have to be
• 29:44
  Speaker 14: returning to a mining powerhouse, just as we were for
• 29:48
  Speaker 14: the you know, for the first one hundred and fifty
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: years of our country. So we we should be mined.
• 29:53
  Speaker 14: Just as Trump says, drill, baby drill, I say, mine,
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: baby mine.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know that sounds like too much common sense,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: that's right, exactly pretty.

• 30:05
  Speaker 6: Doug Bergham, I love the guy.
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: Why would we want? You know, by the way, there's
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: two countries I misspoke. There's two countries where we get
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: our minerals from now China, you know what.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: The other one is India Russia?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Russia. Oh even worse, Seeve, those are.
• 30:19
  Speaker 14: Two friendly countries in the United States. How stupid is that?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: I think sometimes I think people in Washington take stupid
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: pills every morning. Oh you know what, we want them
• 30:29
  Speaker 14: to be dependent on us. We don't want to be
