Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Thursday. It's practically Friday already. We've got
- 0:13Speaker 2: a lot to get to. Yankees win last night. That's
- 0:16Speaker 2: very big. They go on to the next round. Very good.
- 0:19Speaker 2: We'll go over that. We'll get to President Trump traveling
- 0:23Speaker 2: around the country. Three different states. He's campaigning. We'll get
- 0:27Speaker 2: to Iraq.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Iraq.
- 0:29Speaker 2: No, not Iran. We'll get to Iraq. We'll get to Iran,
- 0:31Speaker 2: of course. We'll get to disgusting Cornell University. We'll get
- 0:36Speaker 2: to e-bikes. Speaking of disgusting, we'll get to Andrew Cuomo
- 0:40Speaker 2: coming up with his new $ 9 million Hamptons mansion. Everybody
- 0:45Speaker 2: wondering where the hell did the money come from? And anyway,
- 0:49Speaker 2: a lot to get to. Today we'll get to Kathy
- 0:51Speaker 2: Hochul versus Bruce Blakeman and more. The hijacking story. of
- 0:57Speaker 2: that flight from Dubai. Now, if you're... I just want
- 1:00Speaker 2: to explain it because many people might be New York
- 1:03Speaker 2: Times readers, you might be MSNBC or CNN viewers, and
- 1:08Speaker 2: you didn't get the story. They tried to cover up
- 1:11Speaker 2: parts of the story for you. As soon as that
- 1:14Speaker 2: hijacking incident took place and the terrorist in the cockpit
- 1:18Speaker 2: tried to stab and kill the pilot and then crash
- 1:20Speaker 2: the plane, if you were watching... The liberal networks or
- 1:25Speaker 2: the New York Times, they were very careful to cover
- 1:28Speaker 2: all that up. The New York Times said it was
- 1:31Speaker 2: all about an altercation among employees. There was an altercation cockpit.
- 1:38Speaker 2: And MSNBC, whatever they call it, has spent the last
- 1:44Speaker 2: day desperately trying to make excuses for why they covered
- 1:47Speaker 2: up what it was, saying, well, they can't report anything
- 1:51Speaker 2: they can't confirm. I could give you a list of
- 1:54Speaker 2: 500 things that were absolutely false. They've reported in the
- 1:57Speaker 2: last few months. It's most people can do that. So
- 2:01Speaker 2: it was a hijacking. It was a terrorist, an extreme
- 2:06Speaker 2: religious extremist. The questionable part here is he was from Oman.
- 2:13Speaker 2: He's Omani. And why this airline had this guy as
- 2:16Speaker 2: an employee, you know, after nine 11, we hardened the
- 2:19Speaker 2: cockpits and all those planes. So if you're in the,
- 2:22Speaker 2: passenger area you can't get into the cockpit it's locked
- 2:26Speaker 2: as they say it's hardened you can't get in there
- 2:29Speaker 2: so the plot was this guy gets a job as
- 2:34Speaker 2: a pilot he's in the cockpit middle of the flight
- 2:39Speaker 2: takes out a knife stabs and kills the pilot this
- 2:42Speaker 2: was the plot and then he'll crash the plane now
- 2:45Speaker 2: there's a bunch of questions that come up believe it
- 2:47Speaker 2: or not airline crews and personnel and pilots supposed to
- 2:51Speaker 2: go through the same security checks we all do. So
- 2:54Speaker 2: how did the guy get the knife on there? I
- 2:56Speaker 2: know they're supposed to go through these security checks, but
- 2:59Speaker 2: I have a feeling when it comes to the airline
- 3:02Speaker 2: crew and pilots, they probably get a little sloppy on
- 3:06Speaker 2: those searches and checks. So how did that happen? How
- 3:10Speaker 2: did an airline fly Dubai? How did they hire a terrorist?
- 3:15Speaker 2: And the guy, people that knew him and worked with
- 3:18Speaker 2: him said, It was crazy. He seemed crazy. His behavior
- 3:22Speaker 2: was weird. He wouldn't touch a woman or shake hands
- 3:24Speaker 2: with a woman. Always praying. Religious extremist, nut job terrorist. Now,
- 3:29Speaker 2: the real question is, was this a lone wolf, as
- 3:32Speaker 2: they say? Was this a guy acting alone? Or was
- 3:36Speaker 2: he part of a cell? And this is what they
- 3:38Speaker 2: got to figure out. Because if he's part of a
- 3:39Speaker 2: group or a cell, they got to find the rest
- 3:42Speaker 2: of them before they try this again. Now, also, when
- 3:46Speaker 2: a plane is coming into the United States or Israel,
- 3:49Speaker 2: Believe it or not, our government, the Israeli government, they
- 3:53Speaker 2: get the passenger manifest ahead of time, the list of passengers,
- 3:56Speaker 2: and they go over it. The computer does it. AI
- 4:00Speaker 2: does it. They go over it, and they look for
- 4:01Speaker 2: anybody on that list who's a suspected terrorist or something.
- 4:05Speaker 2: So it's just the passengers. A lot of people are saying,
- 4:10Speaker 2: now we're going to have to include the crew and
- 4:12Speaker 2: the pilots on that list, and they'll have to be
- 4:14Speaker 2: checked to see who they are. And generally... If you're Israel,
- 4:21Speaker 2: they're very careful. They usually only allow planes in from
- 4:24Speaker 2: countries they have diplomatic relations with, and they don't with Oman,
- 4:29Speaker 2: so I'm not quite sure why this plane was coming in.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Here's one of the passengers on the flight. We're here
- 4:34Speaker 2: on the plane from Dubai.
- 4:35Speaker 4: We're here on the plane. There was a crazy man
- 4:38Speaker 4: with a knife who stabbed one of the pilots. We
- 4:41Speaker 4: jumped and helped the pilot. Friends, everything's okay. Friends, everything
- 4:46Speaker 4: is okay now. As you can see, we're landing in
- 4:50Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia. You can see I'm fine. That's it. We'll
- 4:54Speaker 4: see in a few minutes what will happen when we land.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Well, that guy is pretty calm. There was an incident.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Imagine if I was an American. People would be going nuts.
- 5:07Speaker 2: A few things, if you were on that plane, a
- 5:10Speaker 2: few things that you were really lucky about, really lucky about. One,
- 5:14Speaker 2: obviously the pilot, he was Indian. He was in a
- 5:17Speaker 2: Incredible hero to survive and continue after being stabbed. But
- 5:23Speaker 2: he was able to send in codes. There's a code
- 5:27Speaker 2: you send to the tower. He was able to let
- 5:29Speaker 2: them know what was happening. He was able to somehow,
- 5:31Speaker 2: with the blood coming out of him, get up and
- 5:33Speaker 2: unlock the cabin door. The other incredible piece of luck
- 5:38Speaker 2: was there were a couple of pilots, off-duty pilots on
- 5:42Speaker 2: the plane. They were able to land the plane. Imagine
- 5:44Speaker 2: if they hadn't been there. A couple of off-duty pilots
- 5:47Speaker 2: just happened to be on the plane. And also you're
- 5:51Speaker 2: lucky as President Trump tweeted out or truth socialed out,
- 5:55Speaker 2: thank Boeing too for making incredible airplanes. That plane, you know,
- 6:00Speaker 2: it was at 30,000 feet and suddenly when the guy
- 6:03Speaker 2: nosedived the plane, you know, like a second it plunged
- 6:07Speaker 2: to 15,000 feet. President pointing out, give Boeing credit for
- 6:11Speaker 2: making planes so strong and so great that they could
- 6:14Speaker 2: withstand That kind of plunged the G force of it all.
- 6:17Speaker 2: So it was pretty amazing. Uh, when, uh, they, these
- 6:21Speaker 2: guys got off the plane, uh, the, the, the hero that, uh,
- 6:25Speaker 2: this hero who went into the, uh, cockpit and, and
- 6:29Speaker 2: stopped the, uh, lunatic choked him, got him in a chokehold, uh,
- 6:33Speaker 2: Prime Minister Netanyahu is there to congratulate, thank everybody.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Nearly all the passengers on the flight were Israelis.
- 6:41Speaker 4: During the flight, as they were approaching Israel, one of
- 6:45Speaker 4: the pilots stabbed the other pilot and apparently tried to
- 6:48Speaker 4: crush the plane with everyone on board.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Wow.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Amazing, amazing story. So you're going to have to see
- 6:55Speaker 2: a lot more security on what airlines are allowed into Israel,
- 6:59Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. Fly Dubai, I don't think
- 7:02Speaker 2: will be coming in anymore. The idea that they hired
- 7:05Speaker 2: a terrorist and put them in the cockpit. Scary. Very scary. Hey,
- 7:11Speaker 2: we pulled out of Iraq. No, not Iran. Iraq. Believe
- 7:15Speaker 2: it or not, yesterday we withdrew from Iraq. President Trump
- 7:22Speaker 2: very happy about that. We were in Iraq 23 years.
- 7:26Speaker 2: It was 2003 we went in. President Trump yesterday saying
- 7:30Speaker 2: we're getting the hell out. It was the orderly departure
- 7:34Speaker 2: of coalition forces and equipment from the last air base.
- 7:38Speaker 2: We are now officially, totally, completely out of Iraq. We
- 7:42Speaker 2: lost 4,500 soldiers, servicemen and women. 4,500 were killed. Compare
- 7:50Speaker 2: that to Iran. We've only been there six months. 18
- 7:52Speaker 2: have been killed. We had a war, the president pointing out,
- 7:57Speaker 2: we had a war with Venezuela that was only 148
- 7:59Speaker 2: minutes long. That's pretty good. 148 minutes, two hours and
- 8:05Speaker 2: 20 minutes, the whole war. And as far as Iran,
- 8:09Speaker 2: he says, we're going to have that one very quickly.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Now here's what's going on in Iran. First of all,
- 8:14Speaker 2: the IRGC, this is the terrible worst part of Iran,
- 8:20Speaker 2: the terrorist army, the Israeli, Iranian Republican guard. They've endorsed
- 8:27Speaker 2: the Democrats in the midterms. Believe it or not, they
- 8:29Speaker 2: officially put out a statement endorsing the Democrats, urging America
- 8:33Speaker 2: to vote for the Democrats. So I don't know if
- 8:36Speaker 2: the Democrats will be running any ads saying the Iranian
- 8:40Speaker 2: terrorists have endorsed them, but that is the case. But
- 8:44Speaker 2: here's the story with Iran. Our intelligence, other countries' intelligence,
- 8:49Speaker 2: now says Iran has two to three weeks left. That's it.
- 8:55Speaker 2: And then they're totally out of money. Then they don't
- 8:57Speaker 2: have a dime. They're completely out of cash. Apparently, the
- 9:02Speaker 2: meeting between Trump and Xi convinced Xi to have China
- 9:06Speaker 2: stop lending them money or giving them anything. But Iran
- 9:11Speaker 2: should be totally, completely broke within three weeks. They've only
- 9:16Speaker 2: got 15 million barrels of oil left. Now, that sounds
- 9:19Speaker 2: like a lot, but it's not. That's maybe a day
- 9:22Speaker 2: and a half of oil sales. So they could sell
- 9:25Speaker 2: one more day, maybe two of oil, and then that's it.
- 9:29Speaker 2: And then they're out of cash. So They've been, we've
- 9:33Speaker 2: pretty much bankrupted them, you know, Strait of Hormuz being closed.
- 9:36Speaker 2: That's all their revenue. They've had no revenue for six
- 9:39Speaker 2: months coming in, nothing. You know, when they came to
- 9:42Speaker 2: the UN General Assembly, remember the Iranian president spoke, this
- 9:47Speaker 2: is the first time ever they couldn't afford a hotel
- 9:50Speaker 2: room in Manhattan. Every year when Iran comes and the
- 9:53Speaker 2: leader comes and speaks at the UN, they take a
- 9:56Speaker 2: bunch of suites at the Millennium Hotel across the street.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Apparently this year they could not afford a hotel, so
- 10:03Speaker 2: the Iranian president had to sleep at the embassy this year.
- 10:07Speaker 2: So about two weeks from now, you're going to start
- 10:09Speaker 2: to see absolute collapse of the government without a penny
- 10:14Speaker 2: to spend. As I said, the president going to three states.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Today he goes to Texas. uh, campaigning and then it'll
- 10:22Speaker 2: do two more States this week. Cornell university, an absolutely
- 10:27Speaker 2: disgusting place. A woman is now detailing the gang rape
- 10:33Speaker 2: that took place at Cornell in a certain fraternity. Uh,
- 10:37Speaker 2: there was a foursome that wanted to have sex with
- 10:40Speaker 2: her fraternity brothers. She said no to this foursome. It
- 10:45Speaker 2: looks like she may have been drugged because all of
- 10:47Speaker 2: a sudden she was passing out. Anyway, the, uh, The
- 10:51Speaker 2: foursome had sex with her and then apparently three more
- 10:54Speaker 2: joined in. It became an eightsome, this whole thing. She
- 10:58Speaker 2: says she was raped. Cornell, it looks like they covered
- 11:03Speaker 2: it up initially. Campus police took a statement from her
- 11:07Speaker 2: but did nothing, absolutely nothing. Now, the other thing is
- 11:10Speaker 2: it did apparently at some point she went to the
- 11:12Speaker 2: district attorney, Tompkins County District Attorney. He did not bring
- 11:18Speaker 2: charges at the time. Well, now that it's big news,
- 11:21Speaker 2: he's bringing charges. He said he reopened the case with
- 11:26Speaker 2: new details. Nobody knows what the new details are, but
- 11:29Speaker 2: he should have been on this from the beginning. As
- 11:31Speaker 2: we mentioned yesterday, a lot of parents who had their
- 11:35Speaker 2: students applying to Cornell have withdrawn those applications, hundreds of
- 11:39Speaker 2: applications withdrawn. Cornell, absolutely disgusting place, just awful, awful. Gang
- 11:46Speaker 2: rape takes place in this fraternity. And this is the
- 11:50Speaker 2: same Cornell with the vicious anti-Semitism going on. Last week,
- 11:55Speaker 2: these kids chanting from the river to the sea. Just
- 11:57Speaker 2: a horrible place, Cornell. It's in New York, and Governor
- 12:00Speaker 2: Hochul is going after them right now.
- 12:03Speaker 5: What happened to this young college student at Cornell University
- 12:06Speaker 5: is nothing short of horrifying and shocking.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 12:09Speaker 5: And I believe that she deserves justice, and there must
- 12:12Speaker 5: be accountability. That is why I called for an outside
- 12:16Speaker 5: independent counsel to conduct an investigation of what exactly transpired.
- 12:20Speaker 2: There you go. Kathy Hochul is all over this. Until
- 12:25Speaker 2: the election. If she wins re-election, then you'll never hear
- 12:28Speaker 2: about it again from her. But we hope Bruce Blakeman
- 12:31Speaker 2: is going to win the election. But Hochul... pretending, acting, well,
- 12:36Speaker 2: maybe she will, but she's acting like she's really going
- 12:38Speaker 2: to take this on, this issue.
- 12:39Speaker 6: People need to know the truth.
- 12:42Speaker 5: And I think it's important for the public, for the victim,
- 12:46Speaker 5: her family, and the university community to know that their
- 12:50Speaker 5: university did everything that they.
- 12:52Speaker 6: Were supposed to do. And if that was not the case, why?
- 12:56Speaker 6: What happened? How do you get it right the next time?
- 12:59Speaker 6: But also, what are the consequences?
- 13:01Speaker 2: To next time what next time so she's also suing
- 13:04Speaker 2: the victim uh you're calling her jane doe she's suing
- 13:08Speaker 2: a fraternity house uh the the school everything lawsuit says
- 13:12Speaker 2: she was drugged assaulted and gang raped on the on
- 13:17Speaker 2: the camp so let's talk about something happier the yankees
- 13:19Speaker 2: won last night uh the first what was the first
- 13:22Speaker 2: game something like nine to nothing last night was like
- 13:24Speaker 2: nine to two they just overwhelmed the red socks you
- 13:29Speaker 2: know the red socks are very big on uh the
- 13:30Speaker 2: computer stuff. You know, in the good old days, you
- 13:34Speaker 2: had a crusty old manager sitting there on the bench.
- 13:36Speaker 2: You had a Casey Stangle, a Billy Martin, Joe Torrey,
- 13:40Speaker 2: you know, watching, studying. They kind of knew when to
- 13:43Speaker 2: take the picture out. They knew who to send up.
- 13:47Speaker 2: They knew that they could tell. And then all of
- 13:50Speaker 2: a sudden, analytics came in, and now it's all computerized.
- 13:54Speaker 2: This is for some teams. Yankees still old school. But
- 13:57Speaker 2: apparently the Red Sox, relying on computers... You take all
- 14:01Speaker 2: the data about each batter, feed it in the computer,
- 14:04Speaker 2: every statistic, everything of the pitcher, and the computer figures
- 14:08Speaker 2: out who should pitch, who should be taken out of
- 14:10Speaker 2: the game, when to put in another pitch. But the
- 14:14Speaker 2: Red Sox and their computer kind of screwed up. The Yankees,
- 14:17Speaker 2: just old-fashioned baseball smarts, won the game. I hated the
- 14:22Speaker 2: announcers in this game. Who the hell were these announcers?
- 14:25Speaker 2: They weren't great. But here's one of the great moments
- 14:28Speaker 2: of the game last night. If he were to go
- 14:30Speaker 2: large here, this place would absolutely go bonkers beyond belief.
- 14:35Speaker 5: So Cody Bellinger can get the dagger out if he
- 14:37Speaker 5: can do something big here.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Pitch. Swung on. Deep drive. Right field. Got a chance.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And there it goes! A three-run homer!
- 14:48Speaker 7: Cody Bellinger!
- 14:49Speaker 8: 8-1 Yankees!
- 14:53Speaker 2: Where the hell did they get these announcers?
- 14:54Speaker 9: It's a home run.
- 14:57Speaker 6: Terrible.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Awful. There's got to be, we no longer have John Sterling.
- 15:03Speaker 2: There's no Phil Rizzuto or Bill White. There's no, where's
- 15:07Speaker 2: Bob Costas? He's still around, isn't he? There's no Kurt
- 15:10Speaker 2: Gowdy anymore. Who's the great one from Los Angeles? I'm
- 15:13Speaker 2: blanking out on his name. Oh, you know who I mean,
- 15:16Speaker 2: the great, but it's got to be a modern day
- 15:19Speaker 2: equivalent somewhere out there. Michael Kay is still around, right?
- 15:24Speaker 2: But these are the NBC announcers. So the Yankees move
- 15:28Speaker 2: on to the next round. Hey, we'll get to Andrew Cuomo.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Nobody can figure this out. This Andrew Cuomo, who apparently
- 15:37Speaker 2: hates being in New York City, can't stand being in
- 15:41Speaker 2: New York City when he was governor and before that
- 15:43Speaker 2: when he was attorney general. Remember, he always lived in Westchester.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Always lived in Westchester. He did have to, when he
- 15:49Speaker 2: was running for mayor... pretend he lived in New York.
- 15:53Speaker 2: I don't think he got an apartment. I think he
- 15:55Speaker 2: used his daughter's apartment. You have to pretend you're living
- 15:57Speaker 2: in New York City to run for mayor. So he
- 16:00Speaker 2: had to move into an apartment for a while. As
- 16:02Speaker 2: soon as the voters rejected him, he got the hell
- 16:05Speaker 2: out of here. Now he just bought a $ 9 million
- 16:08Speaker 2: compound in the Hamptons. Now he is a big car guy.
- 16:12Speaker 2: He loves cars. Loves driving, loves cars. So if that's
- 16:17Speaker 2: the case, if you're a car guy, you can't really
- 16:19Speaker 2: live in New York. You've got to Live somewhere where
- 16:22Speaker 2: you can drive your cars around. We've got a big
- 16:23Speaker 2: garage for all of them. Anyway, we'll get to this.
- 16:26Speaker 2: His $ 9 million compound. He wanted to be near the brother.
- 16:32Speaker 2: And as Curtis, I heard Curtis say, it's a bunch
- 16:35Speaker 2: of houses. It looks like the Corleone compound. We'll get
- 16:38Speaker 2: to that coming up and a lot more. It's Mark
- 16:41Speaker 2: Simone here. 9 to noon every day. 9 to noon
- 16:45Speaker 2: every day here on 710WOR.
- 16:48Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Hey, well, we got a lot to get through this morning. Hey,
- 17:00Speaker 2: what's the worst airport you could go through? What caused
- 17:03Speaker 2: the most stress? There's a new study out. Which is
- 17:05Speaker 2: the worst airport? Biggest delays, biggest headaches, roughest airport to
- 17:08Speaker 2: go through?
- 17:11Speaker 4: No?
- 17:11Speaker 2: Believe it or not, it's Dallas-Fort Worth. Most stressful airport
- 17:15Speaker 2: in the study. Dallas-Fort Worth. followed by O'Hare Airport in Chicago,
- 17:21Speaker 2: followed by Reagan Airport, which used to be a great airport,
- 17:24Speaker 2: then Kennedy Airport. So, you know, Kennedy Airport is not
- 17:27Speaker 2: the most stressful. Dallas-Fort Worth has a 28% delay rate, 34%
- 17:32Speaker 2: increase in delays, while also sitting 22 miles from downtown.
- 17:36Speaker 2: That's a long way. An unholy trinity that gives it
- 17:45Speaker 2: its highest stress ranking. Hey, Mayor Mamdani finally got his
- 17:50Speaker 2: federal security clearance. You know, when you're the mayor of
- 17:53Speaker 2: New York, you need a federal government security clearance, top-secret
- 17:59Speaker 2: security clearance, before they can share top-secret information with you.
- 18:05Speaker 2: And that can be important. Let's say there was, God forbid,
- 18:07Speaker 2: going to be a terrorist threat to New York. That's
- 18:10Speaker 2: highly classified. Well, the you have to have a security
- 18:13Speaker 2: clearance to be shown that. It took the mayor a
- 18:16Speaker 2: while to get it. I'm amazed he was even able
- 18:19Speaker 2: to get it. But now they did point out that
- 18:24Speaker 2: the police commissioner, others in the administration already have that clearance.
- 18:27Speaker 2: So they would have been able to see it. Now,
- 18:30Speaker 2: what's the dumbest thing you can have as an option
- 18:32Speaker 2: in your car? You know, the heated seat. It sounds
- 18:38Speaker 2: like who needs a heated seat? Well, that can help.
- 18:40Speaker 2: You know, you got a long ride You put on
- 18:42Speaker 2: that heated seat. It's good for your back. You know,
- 18:46Speaker 2: there's all these dumb options. Now, the new Lincoln SUV.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Is it the Lincoln Navigator? I think it is. The
- 18:53Speaker 2: Lincoln SUV has just debuted in the car. This is
- 18:58Speaker 2: an option you can get. A spa. A mini spa
- 19:01Speaker 2: in your car.
- 19:04Speaker 8: I know. I know.
- 19:05Speaker 2: It sounds ridiculous. But right in the car, it'll give
- 19:08Speaker 2: you a back rub. It plays nature noises. It'll reveal
- 19:12Speaker 2: a calming scent. You press a button. It's called the
- 19:17Speaker 2: Wellness Hub on Wheels. It will activate a multi-sensory in-vehicle
- 19:23Speaker 2: experience designed to help you reset your day. For each experience,
- 19:29Speaker 2: you choose from six different experiences. This is kind of
- 19:34Speaker 2: like a hooker. You got like six things you could choose.
- 19:37Speaker 2: They can run for five to ten minutes each. The
- 19:40Speaker 2: sound or meditation plays. A subtle scent is pumped into
- 19:45Speaker 2: the cabin. You really want this going on in your car?
- 19:48Speaker 3: No.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Now, here's the good thing. The Rejuvenate Spa only works
- 19:53Speaker 2: when the car is in park and all the doors
- 19:56Speaker 2: are closed. First of all, you picture the Lincoln Navigator. Now,
- 20:02Speaker 2: this mini spa. Who goes to a spa? It's mostly women.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Mostly women who want this meditation music and the scent.
- 20:10Speaker 2: And the spa, it's not usually a guy. And who
- 20:13Speaker 2: drives a Lincoln Navigator? It's always like a Tony Soprano
- 20:15Speaker 2: kind of guy. Anytime you see a Lincoln Navigator, you're
- 20:20Speaker 2: going to see some big hulking guy. And they generally
- 20:22Speaker 2: don't want this spa, so it may be the wrong
- 20:25Speaker 2: car for this. Hey, that crazy Jack Smith, that bug-eyed weirdo,
- 20:29Speaker 2: that dirty cop, creepy Jack Smith. People are talking about
- 20:34Speaker 2: him possibly nominating him for an Academy Award. The way
- 20:39Speaker 2: he sat there at that hearing with a straight face
- 20:42Speaker 2: and said nothing he did was political. He has no
- 20:46Speaker 2: political leanings. He was not out to get Trump. But
- 20:51Speaker 2: then he goes on to say, Smith saying now that
- 20:55Speaker 2: President Trump was engaged in serious crimes against our nation.
- 21:01Speaker 2: What the hell is this guy talking about? What on
- 21:06Speaker 2: earth is he talking about? And he said, you know,
- 21:09Speaker 2: if you don't think it was justified, two grand juries
- 21:13Speaker 2: reached the conclusion. Well, as everybody knows, the old saying,
- 21:16Speaker 2: you can indict a ham sandwich. Also, if you do
- 21:19Speaker 2: it in D.C., if you do it someplace that's all
- 21:24Speaker 2: left-wing kooks, of course you can get a grand jury
- 21:27Speaker 2: to go along with you. So rather than, he said,
- 21:30Speaker 2: the real crime is rather than accept his defeat in 2020,
- 21:35Speaker 2: President Trump engaged in a, criminal scheme to overturn the
- 21:39Speaker 2: results and prevent the lawful transfer of power. What the
- 21:43Speaker 2: hell is he talking about? No one knows. Is he
- 21:48Speaker 2: talking about January 6th? That can't be that. That was
- 21:50Speaker 2: just a horrible, bad trespassing incident. That wouldn't have disrupted anything.
- 21:58Speaker 2: No one knows what he's talking about. Now, the good
- 22:00Speaker 2: news is Jack Smith is getting sued. He, uh, did
- 22:03Speaker 2: something horrible. You're not supposed to do besides all of this, uh,
- 22:07Speaker 2: warfare on, lawfare on Trump. He did unbelievably immoral, unethical
- 22:13Speaker 2: surveillance on everybody in Congress. He was getting their phone records,
- 22:17Speaker 2: everything out of, all their information, their emails, their texts.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Members of Congress. So the first one has filed a
- 22:24Speaker 2: lawsuit against Jack Smith. Marsha Blackburn is suing him. Hopefully
- 22:28Speaker 2: they'll all start suing him and keep this guy in
- 22:30Speaker 2: court for the rest of his life. Marsha Blackburn, the Senator,
- 22:34Speaker 2: longtime Senator, also saying, She thinks criminal charges are necessary
- 22:38Speaker 2: against Jack Smith. And that's something that should happen. Don't
- 22:44Speaker 2: be surprised if there are criminal referrals coming from all
- 22:47Speaker 2: of this. State Department yesterday revoked 250,000 visas, broad immigration crackdown. Now,
- 22:56Speaker 2: they say they've been very careful to stick to criminals,
- 23:02Speaker 2: those that committed birth tourism fraud, national security threats. Removing
- 23:07Speaker 2: anybody who committed crimes, supported terrorism, defrauded anybody or abused
- 23:11Speaker 2: any of our systems. So that's 250,000 removed yesterday. We'll
- 23:17Speaker 2: get to Mamdani and his anti-Semitism plan. Oh, also, don't
- 23:21Speaker 2: go away. We'll get to the Democrats. I don't know
- 23:25Speaker 2: how they get it. Well, I know how they get
- 23:26Speaker 2: away with this. The fake news won't report it. If
- 23:28Speaker 2: you're watching CNN or MSNOW or reading the New York Times,
- 23:31Speaker 2: they won't tell you this. But there was a bill
- 23:35Speaker 2: to do something about the AI centers. Democrats blocked it.
- 23:39Speaker 2: There was a bill to limit insider trading. Democrats all
- 23:45Speaker 2: voted against it. They don't want to get rid of that.
- 23:47Speaker 2: We'll get to this coming up. Hey, also, we'll take some–
- 23:52Speaker 2: I think we'll take some calls. Yeah. Supposedly, we got
- 23:54Speaker 2: the phones fixed. It's been two days. This looks like
- 23:58Speaker 2: a whole new system here. Supposedly, the phones will work.
- 24:01Speaker 2: We'll try that coming up. It's Mark Simone here, 9
- 24:05Speaker 2: to noon every day. Three hours now, 9 to noon
- 24:08Speaker 2: every day on 710WOR.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Mark Simone, Mr.
- 24:13Speaker 2: New York.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls. We think we got the
- 24:26Speaker 2: phones fixed. We think they'll actually work this time. So
- 24:30Speaker 2: call us, 800-321-710-WR. 0710 is the number.
- 24:34Speaker 10: 800-321-0710.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Remember yesterday we were talking about all the AI guys
- 24:42Speaker 2: that President Trump gathered for that meeting yesterday at the
- 24:45Speaker 2: White House. They had all the top AI heads there.
- 24:50Speaker 2: And then a lot of the other tech guys, there
- 24:52Speaker 2: was Elon Musk and there was Jeff Bezos and they
- 24:55Speaker 2: all looked like about 20 of them sitting around a table.
- 24:58Speaker 2: And I said, altogether, these guys could be worth a
- 25:01Speaker 2: trillion dollars. Well, We got the actual number. It's 1.8 trillion.
- 25:06Speaker 2: The people around that table, combined wealth is close to
- 25:11Speaker 2: $ 2 trillion. Those guys, the smartest guys in the world,
- 25:18Speaker 2: the most successful guys money-wise on earth, technology-wise, these are
- 25:23Speaker 2: the most successful guys, absolutely the most brilliant guys ever
- 25:28Speaker 2: in one room. And what did they come up with
- 25:31Speaker 2: as an answer? What to do about AI? They came
- 25:34Speaker 2: up with, let's form a committee. Form a committee to
- 25:39Speaker 2: look at it. If you took a bunch of PTA
- 25:42Speaker 2: members or a bunch of housewives and said, to come
- 25:45Speaker 2: up with that, well, we'll form a committee. Who couldn't
- 25:47Speaker 2: have thought of that? Not just a committee. They're going
- 25:50Speaker 2: to have a commission as well. And not just a committee,
- 25:54Speaker 2: but they're going to have a panel, too, to look
- 25:56Speaker 2: at it. All right, let's see if the phones work.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Let's try this out. Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara,
- 26:02Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 26:03Speaker 3: Good morning, darling.
- 26:04Speaker 2: There you go.
- 26:05Speaker 3: It works.
- 26:06Speaker 11: It's 630, 61 degrees and partly sunny out here.
- 26:11Speaker 2: How much is it?
- 26:14Speaker 9: 61?
- 26:14Speaker 3: 61.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Oh, in Nevada, isn't it usually warmer?
- 26:17Speaker 11: I'm going to tell you something, Mark. From November to March,
- 26:21Speaker 11: you're going to have to start wearing a light jacket
- 26:23Speaker 11: and bundle up. No bundle up, but a light jacket
- 26:26Speaker 11: when you go outside.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You poor people.
- 26:28Speaker 11: Oh, your God.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Yes, it's true.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 26:30Speaker 2: You have to go through that.
- 26:31Speaker 11: Now, Mark, I want to ask you something. Why is
- 26:34Speaker 11: it a good idea to give top security clearance to
- 26:38Speaker 11: a man who holds dual citizenship?
- 26:42Speaker 2: You're talking about Mamdani? Well, you have to give the mayor.
- 26:44Speaker 2: The mayor of New York has to have a security clearance.
- 26:47Speaker 11: Okay, and how about Ilhan Omar? Do congresspeople get top
- 26:51Speaker 11: security clearance?
- 26:52Speaker 2: I'm afraid so. Well, they've got to often look at Somalia.
- 26:55Speaker 9: Hello?
- 26:57Speaker 2: But that happens. If you're the mayor of New York, if,
- 26:59Speaker 2: God forbid, there's a terrorist threat, they would have to
- 27:03Speaker 2: share it with the mayor of New York. If it
- 27:04Speaker 2: was a threat against New York, of course, they would
- 27:06Speaker 2: have to tell him. And that sort of report would
- 27:09Speaker 2: be a highly classified document. So The mayor has to
- 27:13Speaker 2: have a high security clearance with the federal government so
- 27:16Speaker 2: they could share that information with them if they had to.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but let's say there was,
- 27:23Speaker 2: God forbid, a terrorist threat against New York and they
- 27:26Speaker 2: shared it with Mamdani. What do you think he'd do
- 27:28Speaker 2: about it? Anything? What do you think he'd do about it?
- 27:31Speaker 2: I don't know. Who knows? Let's go to Billy in
- 27:36Speaker 2: Rockland County. Billy, how you doing?
- 27:39Speaker 8: Doing good.
- 27:40Speaker 2: How are you? Let me check.
- 27:41Speaker 9: Not bad.
- 27:42Speaker 2: All right. All right.
- 27:44Speaker 8: Check twice. Well, what do you think Cuomo gets, like,
- 27:49Speaker 8: $ 100, 000 a year to maintain that house?
- 27:52Speaker 2: Well, you bring up a good question, Billy. Thanks.
- 27:56Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 27:56Speaker 2: We're going to talk about this a little later, too.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo just bought a $ 9 million house in the Hamptons,
- 28:05Speaker 2: South Hampton. Let me see here. It's got a tennis court, pool, gym,
- 28:10Speaker 2: wine cellar. It's actually got a bunch of houses. It's
- 28:13Speaker 2: a compound $ 9 million house. Now, how much money do
- 28:22Speaker 2: you have to have to buy a $ 9 million house? Well, obviously,
- 28:24Speaker 2: you got to have $ 9 million. But I mean, if
- 28:27Speaker 2: that's all you had in the world, $ 9 million, you're
- 28:28Speaker 2: not going to spend it all on a house. So
- 28:30Speaker 2: in order to have $ 9 million just for a house,
- 28:33Speaker 2: how much money do you have to have? 20 million,
- 28:36Speaker 2: 30 million. Now, he made 5 million on that shady
- 28:40Speaker 2: book deal while he was in office where he profiteered
- 28:43Speaker 2: off the pandemic. And then before he was mayor, remember
- 28:49Speaker 2: he was attorney general, there was a couple of, a
- 28:51Speaker 2: year or two in between where he did work for
- 28:53Speaker 2: a law firm. He could have made some money there.
- 28:55Speaker 2: But since that ridiculous attempt to be mayor, which was
- 29:00Speaker 2: absolutely insane, the guy just got run out of office
- 29:03Speaker 2: as governor. Literally run out of office, fled Albany being
- 29:07Speaker 2: chased by the police. And then two seconds later, he
- 29:10Speaker 2: tries to run for mayor. It was an idiotic thing.
- 29:12Speaker 2: But since how long has that been since? It's not
- 29:16Speaker 2: that long, that mayoral race, right? That was 25, wasn't it?
- 29:20Speaker 2: So it's a year ago. How much money could he
- 29:23Speaker 2: made in one year? Well, you never know. He's been
- 29:25Speaker 2: involved with these crypto guys, these crypto companies. Who knows?
- 29:29Speaker 2: He could have made 20, 30 in one year.
- 29:32Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 29:33Speaker 2: It's hard to imagine. He says he's buying the house
- 29:37Speaker 2: as an investment. If you're in the crypto business, you're
- 29:41Speaker 2: supposed to invest in crypto. It's right near his brother.
- 29:44Speaker 2: He said he wants to be near his brother. Let
- 29:48Speaker 2: me just see. Cuomo was named co-chair of a joint
- 29:52Speaker 2: venture between the owner of the New York Stock Exchange
- 29:55Speaker 2: and the crypto exchange. Okay, that's Involves a lot of
- 29:59Speaker 2: money there. He's also been in Singapore to speak at
- 30:04Speaker 2: a crypto conference. You never know. He could have made
- 30:07Speaker 2: all this money crypto-wise. But he just spent $ 9 million
- 30:12Speaker 2: on a house. It was bought through an LLC. Okay,
- 30:15Speaker 2: that's not unusual. Oh, but listen to this. It was
- 30:19Speaker 2: a cash deal, no mortgage. So he just had $ 9
- 30:21Speaker 2: million in cash. Wrote a check for it just like that.
- 30:25Speaker 2: So to do that, you got to have a lot
- 30:27Speaker 2: more than $ 9 million. So obviously, he made a hell
- 30:30Speaker 2: of a lot of money somewhere doing something. Hey, where's
- 30:33Speaker 2: all the calls? We finally get the phones fixed. Nobody's calling.
- 30:36Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 30:37Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Hey, Paramount, Warner Brothers, that whole deal. Paramount's going to
- 30:42Speaker 2: take over Warner Brothers, Time Warner, Warner Discovery, whatever they
- 30:47Speaker 2: call it now. They came up with a new CEO
- 30:56Speaker 2: for the whole thing. And the guy was the CEO
- 31:00Speaker 2: of Mattel. They're taking the CEO of Mattel. Now, that
- 31:04Speaker 2: sometimes doesn't work out. You want a guy who runs
- 31:07Speaker 2: entertainment companies. Although the CEO of Mattel a while back
- 31:13Speaker 2: was the president of Maker Studios. It's a small studio, though.
- 31:19Speaker 2: You need somebody with big media experience. So this might
- 31:22Speaker 2: not be the best choice. Uh, they say a strong
- 31:26Speaker 2: experience and his big experience is global operations. Also, he
- 31:31Speaker 2: was good with, um, Mattel getting him through the pandemic, uh,
- 31:35Speaker 2: dealing with the tariffs, all of that because, uh, and they,
- 31:38Speaker 2: they also say he was very good, uh, at marketing stuff.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Remember how Barbie took off all of a sudden hot wheels,
- 31:46Speaker 2: but he's going to be the new chairman of this
- 31:49Speaker 2: whole deal. He'll be the chairman of Paramount Warner brothers, uh,
- 31:55Speaker 2: Let me see. Oh, yeah. Actually, years ago, he was
- 31:57Speaker 2: CEO of Edimal, a European production company. But again, this
- 32:03Speaker 2: is tiny, tiny media experience. You know, whenever you get
- 32:05Speaker 2: a non-media guy trying to run TV and networks and movies,
- 32:10Speaker 2: it never quite works out. Best example was CBS. I
- 32:15Speaker 2: remember years ago, Lawrence Tisch, Larry Tisch. Brilliant, brilliant businessman. Brilliant.
- 32:22Speaker 2: He and his brother, Bob Tisch, these two could run anything.
- 32:24Speaker 2: They were unbelievable. They were so brilliant at running a business.
- 32:28Speaker 2: So Larry Tisch bought CBS. It was disaster because it
- 32:32Speaker 2: wasn't a normal business. It's not a factory. It's not
- 32:35Speaker 2: a widget company. It's creative. It's entertainment. And he could
- 32:39Speaker 2: be the most brilliant business guy, but he didn't understand that.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Didn't understand anything about the entertainment world. So it was
- 32:47Speaker 2: a disaster. He finally had to get out of CBS business.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Jack Welch, who was the chairman of GE, there's one
- 32:51Speaker 2: great thing about him. Whenever they'd come to him with
- 32:54Speaker 2: a big entertainment decision, he'd say, I'm just a business guy.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Don't know anything about that. I can't help you. Anyway,
- 33:00Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Bobby in Brooklyn. Bobby,
- 33:03Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 33:04Speaker 12: Hi, how are you, Mark?
- 33:05Speaker 8: Good.
- 33:06Speaker 12: I'm a listener, and I'm very glad that you have
- 33:08Speaker 12: that extra hour.
- 33:09Speaker 7: Yes.
- 33:10Speaker 12: The reason for my call... I noticed that you actively
- 33:14Speaker 12: promote the other program hosts on WOR. I was just
- 33:18Speaker 12: wondering why you never make a mention of the overnight
- 33:21Speaker 12: AM coast-to-coast syndicated broadcast.
- 33:24Speaker 2: I've got to be honest. I've never heard it. What
- 33:26Speaker 2: is on late at night here?
- 33:27Speaker 12: Oh, George Nouri between 1 a.m.
- 33:29Speaker 3: And 5 a.m.
- 33:30Speaker 2: The Flying Saucer Show.
- 33:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 33:32Speaker 2: And you listen to that?
- 33:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:34Speaker 12: Occasionally it puts me to sleep.
- 33:36Speaker 2: How the hell does that put you to sleep? Hearing
- 33:38Speaker 2: about UFOs and flying saucers, that would scare the hell
- 33:41Speaker 2: out of me. I'd be up all night.
- 33:42Speaker 12: Well, I wake up usually 4.30 in the morning, so
- 33:45Speaker 12: I've got to sleep sometime.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Oh, okay. All right. Well, we'll mention it. What was
- 33:48Speaker 2: it called? What's it called?
- 33:50Speaker 12: AM Coast to Coast with George Noory. Oh, okay. It's
- 33:53Speaker 12: a syndicated program. It's not produced by WOR.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Well, actually, do we produce that? I'm not sure. But,
- 34:02Speaker 2: you know, like there's Hannity and Buck and Clay syndicated.
- 34:04Speaker 2: But we produce it. It's really us. I mean, it's
- 34:08Speaker 2: kind of a local show in a way. I mean,
- 34:09Speaker 2: like Hannity's right upstairs. Buck and Clay are right up there.
- 34:13Speaker 2: It's all, we produce it. iHeart, we all produce it.
- 34:16Speaker 2: They come down here, we go up there. We're all
- 34:18Speaker 2: one big operation. Hey, we got a lot to get
- 34:21Speaker 2: to coming up. Don't forget, Buck and Clay will be
- 34:23Speaker 2: here at noon today. Sean Hannity at three. The most
- 34:28Speaker 2: listened to radio show in America. Jimmy Fela. What a
- 34:31Speaker 2: funny show. Actually, he'll be with us in the next hour.
- 34:33Speaker 2: Coming up on 710WOR. Mark Simone's on WOR. It's just
- 34:39Speaker 2: about 10 o'clock. Remember, I used to get here now.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Those were the days. Back after the news on 710WOR.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Plugged into everything New York. Mark Simone on 710WOR.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's almost Friday. It's Thursday. It's almost Friday.
- 34:59Speaker 2: The Yankees have won. They go on to the next round.
- 35:01Speaker 2: That's great news. They're finally, hopefully, going to do something
- 35:05Speaker 2: about these e-bikes in New York. The city council has
- 35:10Speaker 2: been holding hearings and people have been coming into the
- 35:12Speaker 2: city council testifying horror stories about e-bikes and survivors of crashes.
- 35:20Speaker 2: They came in and shared their horror stories. At a
- 35:24Speaker 2: city council hearing that took place yesterday, they want to
- 35:27Speaker 2: pass legislation. And this is very important. This is a
- 35:31Speaker 2: really important piece of legislation that would finally stop this
- 35:36Speaker 2: reckless free-for-all with these e-bikes and e-things, the regular bikes, e-bikes, scooters,
- 35:42Speaker 2: all this stuff speeding around, zipping around. going through red lights,
- 35:49Speaker 2: riding on the sidewalk. I mean, this is the most
- 35:51Speaker 2: dangerous part of New York. And they're always talking about revenue.
- 35:55Speaker 2: You know, Hochul and Mamdani and these Democrats always look
- 35:58Speaker 2: into ways to pick your pocket, you know, whether it's
- 36:01Speaker 2: congestion pricing, whether it's a pied-à-terre tax. They're always looking
- 36:05Speaker 2: for schemes to take more money from you. You want
- 36:08Speaker 2: to generate revenue? Start ticketing all the e-bikes. Start ticketing bikes.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Ticket them. Go through a red light, give them a ticket.
- 36:17Speaker 2: You know how much money you could bring in? Also,
- 36:20Speaker 2: make every one of these things get a license. If
- 36:24Speaker 2: you have a car, you've got to have a driver's license.
- 36:26Speaker 2: You've got to have a registration on your car. You've
- 36:29Speaker 2: got to pay a yearly fee for it. There's a
- 36:31Speaker 2: ton of revenue. Every e-bike, scooter, everything. You've got to
- 36:37Speaker 2: have a license to ride it in New York. It's
- 36:39Speaker 2: got to have a registration sticker on it. You're riding
- 36:43Speaker 2: up on the sidewalk going the wrong way down the street.
- 36:45Speaker 2: running red lights, you get a ticket. Lots and lots
- 36:48Speaker 2: and lots and lots of tickets. You'd make a fortune
- 36:52Speaker 2: off this. You'd force them to drive slowly and safely
- 36:56Speaker 2: in the middle of New York. Everybody wants this. Everybody.
- 37:03Speaker 2: And city council finally holding hearings on it. Now, this
- 37:05Speaker 2: Julie Menon seems pretty good, pretty common sense. You got
- 37:10Speaker 2: a lot of wackos on that city council. But, you know,
- 37:14Speaker 2: they keep talking about the safety, the danger. Besides the revenue,
- 37:18Speaker 2: how many people are getting seriously hurt by this, these e-bikes?
- 37:23Speaker 2: Here's the city council speaker.
- 37:24Speaker 13: The council's now passed several laws on this, and no
- 37:27Speaker 13: one knows anything about them. We passed them for a reason.
- 37:30Speaker 13: So one of the reasons for this hearing is to
- 37:33Speaker 13: get the commitment from the agencies to actually enforce the
- 37:35Speaker 13: current laws we have in the books that are not
- 37:37Speaker 13: being enforced.
- 37:38Speaker 2: We are 100% going to take that back.
- 37:41Speaker 6: Okay.
- 37:41Speaker 1: And so I'd.
- 37:42Speaker 13: Like a commitment from both agencies in writing to us.
- 37:44Speaker 13: We really want to, I just don't want to have
- 37:46Speaker 13: like more conversations.
- 37:47Speaker 3: Okay.
- 37:49Speaker 2: That's the only problem. We don't want any, we don't
- 37:51Speaker 2: need any conversations. Just pass the laws. All the bikes
- 37:55Speaker 2: have to be registered. They all got to have registration
- 37:59Speaker 2: and just pass the law. They have to get ticketed.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Any traffic violations, give them a ticket. It's that simple.
- 38:06Speaker 2: You'll make a fortune and you'll save lives. It's a
- 38:09Speaker 2: no brainer. Hey, I'm looking at, we got a lot
- 38:12Speaker 2: of TV networks on, a lot of screens up here.
- 38:15Speaker 2: This is a Cuomo mansion purchase. It's getting a lot
- 38:18Speaker 2: of attention. Even left-wing, left-wing biased New York One, they
- 38:24Speaker 2: keep repeating it over and over again. It's not a
- 38:27Speaker 2: good look for Cuomo. You're trying to look like you're
- 38:29Speaker 2: a public servant. Andrew Cuomo, the public servant, just bought
- 38:33Speaker 2: a $ 9 million Hamptons mansion with a tennis court, a pool,
- 38:37Speaker 2: a gym, a wine cellar. It says Cuomo will use
- 38:41Speaker 2: the purchase as an investment property. I don't know. I'm
- 38:49Speaker 2: not buying that. So the problem is if you got
- 38:55Speaker 2: nine million, apparently paid cash, it says, all cash deal.
- 38:59Speaker 2: If you got nine million in cash and you can
- 39:01Speaker 2: write a check like that for a mansion like this,
- 39:04Speaker 2: it's a compound in the Hamptons. Curtis calls it the
- 39:07Speaker 2: Corleone compound. If you got a, $ 9 million check you
- 39:11Speaker 2: can write just like that, it means you probably got
- 39:14Speaker 2: $ 30 million at least, or more. And nobody knows where
- 39:19Speaker 2: he got all this money. Again, he's been working in
- 39:20Speaker 2: the crypto business for a while, but who knows. Apparently,
- 39:25Speaker 2: he wants to be near his brother, Chris Cuomo, and apparently,
- 39:30Speaker 2: he's been seen hanging out at his buddy Billy Joel's
- 39:34Speaker 2: beachfront property.
- 39:35Speaker 4: Huh.
- 39:36Speaker 2: I wonder if Billy Joel knows about this. But no, actually,
- 39:39Speaker 2: I guess they're friends. Billy Joel is kind of a
- 39:41Speaker 2: left-wing guy. And he and Cuomo, I would imagine they
- 39:44Speaker 2: have things in common, both car guys, motorcycle guys, that
- 39:48Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Both love noisy engines, all that stuff.
- 39:52Speaker 2: He's also been a regular at 75 Main in Southampton.
- 39:57Speaker 2: That is like the hotspot. That's where all the action is.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Nice guy, Zach Erdem, is the owner of 75 Main.
- 40:03Speaker 2: So he's been seen hanging out there. And that's where
- 40:08Speaker 2: the whole Upper East Side, all those, how are you,
- 40:11Speaker 2: the whole Mar-a-Lago crowd, they're always out there. And that's
- 40:14Speaker 2: how Cuomo started his mayoral bid, by winning them over.
- 40:18Speaker 2: They're all big donors, and that's how he got a
- 40:20Speaker 2: lot of money. But again, he's been working in the
- 40:23Speaker 2: crypto business, apparently making a fortune. All right. But I
- 40:30Speaker 2: would think he's never going to run again. First of all,
- 40:32Speaker 2: because he was totally humiliated in the last race, the
- 40:35Speaker 2: mayoral race. But I also think if you buy a
- 40:37Speaker 2: $ 9 million Hamptons mansion, it's not a good look if
- 40:40Speaker 2: you want to be a mayoral candidate. So I think
- 40:43Speaker 2: he realizes he can't run anymore. It's all over. Hey,
- 40:46Speaker 2: the midterms are like 33 days away. I know you
- 40:50Speaker 2: keep hearing how low the president's approval ratings are. I
- 40:53Speaker 2: know you keep hearing how bad the Republicans are doing
- 40:56Speaker 2: in the polls. But they forget to tell you Democrats'
- 41:00Speaker 2: approval ratings are a lot lower than Trump's. And Democrats'
- 41:04Speaker 2: approval ratings are in the toilet. Here is the CNN pollster.
- 41:07Speaker 14: GOP outperformed September polls by in the major 2024 races.
- 41:11Speaker 14: That is, President and Senate in the states that had
- 41:13Speaker 14: a Senate race. In Iowa, where the Democrats have been
- 41:15Speaker 14: getting really good polls, Republicans outperformed their September polls by
- 41:19Speaker 14: nine points back in 2024.
- 41:20Speaker 2: How about Ohio?
- 41:21Speaker 8: Six points.
- 41:22Speaker 2: How about Michigan? Five points.
- 41:24Speaker 14: And I will note that the leads that the Democrats
- 41:26Speaker 14: have in all of these races right now are under
- 41:30Speaker 14: how much the.
- 41:30Speaker 6: GOP outperformed back in 2024.
- 41:32Speaker 2: So you look at this.
- 41:33Speaker 7: And you go.
- 41:34Speaker 15: You know what?
- 41:35Speaker 14: Maybe we should just hold on a second here because
- 41:38Speaker 14: we've seen this dance before and it was not a
- 41:41Speaker 14: dance that Democrats like when the votes are actually cast
- 41:43Speaker 14: and counted.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the key to it. These polls are all,
- 41:46Speaker 2: the public polls are all fake. They're just ridiculously rigged.
- 41:49Speaker 2: If you look at the metrics, they're not even close
- 41:51Speaker 2: to trying to be real. The metrics have Republicans at 23%
- 41:56Speaker 2: of the sample. They should be 38%. They're not using
- 41:59Speaker 2: likely voters. They're using the wrong demos deliberately. So, um,
- 42:04Speaker 2: The public polls all rigged. So that's pretty interesting. So
- 42:07Speaker 2: it's all about turnout. That's the key. Turnout. If Republicans
- 42:11Speaker 2: turn out, they win. If Republicans stay home, Democrats can win.
- 42:16Speaker 2: President is doing a three-state tour. Today he's in Texas.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Over the weekend, he'll be in other places. Now, I'm
- 42:25Speaker 2: just telling you, repeating this story, because if you read
- 42:27Speaker 2: the New York Times or you watch MSNBC or CNN,
- 42:30Speaker 2: you'll never know about this, but... There was a bill
- 42:33Speaker 2: to do something about those AI data centers. It's a
- 42:36Speaker 2: big democratic issue. There's a bill to do something about it.
- 42:40Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer, the Democrats blocked it yesterday. They blocked the bill. Now,
- 42:45Speaker 2: why would they do that if they're against it? Well,
- 42:47Speaker 2: one thing about these AI companies, they got a ton
- 42:50Speaker 2: of money, trillions, and they do throw it around in Washington, D.C.
- 42:55Speaker 2: You know, recently they set up a $ 25 million super PAC.
- 43:01Speaker 2: And the money was immediately doled out to people in Congress, donations.
- 43:06Speaker 2: So the money was quickly passed out in Washington, and
- 43:10Speaker 2: everybody was told there was going to be more of
- 43:12Speaker 2: these super PACs. So Democrats killed the bill to block
- 43:17Speaker 2: the data centers. Now, there was another bill that was
- 43:21Speaker 2: going to, you know, all these congressmen and women, Republicans
- 43:24Speaker 2: are just as guilty. They make a fortune with this
- 43:27Speaker 2: insider trading. They have all sorts of insider information, more
- 43:31Speaker 2: than anybody in the world can have. They find out
- 43:34Speaker 2: about test results from the FDA before anybody. They find
- 43:38Speaker 2: out before anybody who's going to get a government contract.
- 43:41Speaker 2: That's how you could be Nancy Pelosi. You got $ 0. 35
- 43:45Speaker 2: when you go into office. She's now worth like $ 800 million.
- 43:48Speaker 2: That's how Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, they're suddenly worth $ 20 million.
- 43:53Speaker 2: This goes on all the time. It's not just Democrats,
- 43:55Speaker 2: Republicans too. The insider trading, you make a fortune in Congress.
- 44:00Speaker 2: So there was a bill, not to eliminate it, but
- 44:02Speaker 2: to limit it, just to limit it. Senate Democrats blocked it.
- 44:08Speaker 2: They killed it. Senate Democrats blocked it. So they blocked
- 44:12Speaker 2: the AI controls. They blocked the insider trading controls. But
- 44:19Speaker 2: you'll read the New York Times. Go get the whole
- 44:21Speaker 2: New York Times. See if you can find that story
- 44:22Speaker 2: in there. Good luck trying to find it. Hey, oh,
- 44:26Speaker 2: last night we had a great dinner in Long Island.
- 44:29Speaker 2: We went out there, Jim Kerr and I, Jason Roy
- 44:33Speaker 2: is one of our top salespeople. Bernie Weiss is our
- 44:36Speaker 2: iHeart presence. We went out to Long Island and we
- 44:39Speaker 2: had dinner with the Richard family of P.C. Richard and Son. Now,
- 44:43Speaker 2: I always tell you, it's a family-owned business, P.C. Richard.
- 44:46Speaker 2: What a great, great company it is. What a great business. Yeah,
- 44:49Speaker 2: you can really trust them. They've been in Business, five generations,
- 44:53Speaker 2: 117 years. But we had dinner with the people that
- 44:57Speaker 2: run P.C.
- 44:57Speaker 3: Richard.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Glenn Richard and Scott Richard and Abby Richard, the whole
- 45:00Speaker 2: marketing team. The nicest people you could ever meet. The nicest,
- 45:05Speaker 2: most sincere, hardworking, unbelievable. So you can trust them on anything.
- 45:12Speaker 2: It's a great company, P.C. Richard & Son. We went
- 45:14Speaker 2: to Blackstone's, one of the great steakhouses in Long Island.
- 45:18Speaker 2: That's Anthony Scotto's place. And so... I didn't realize this.
- 45:23Speaker 2: So Glenn Richard, we're talking about P.C. Richardson. He said,
- 45:27Speaker 2: how amazing it is to try to control all that.
- 45:30Speaker 2: He said, we knock on 5,000 doors a day. I said,
- 45:34Speaker 2: what do you mean? I didn't realize this. You know,
- 45:37Speaker 2: they got to deliver everything. They deliver the refrigerator. They
- 45:39Speaker 2: deliver the TV. 5,000 deliveries a day. Can you imagine
- 45:46Speaker 2: trying to control all that? Can you imagine this? I'm
- 45:50Speaker 2: trying to do a radio show here. They've got two
- 45:52Speaker 2: computers trying to control all this. Wow, it's like a nightmare.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Can you imagine? And he's going to tell me that
- 45:57Speaker 2: they've got these incredible warehouse facilities with millions of trucks coming.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Can you imagine making $ 5, 000 a day? How the hell
- 46:06Speaker 2: could anybody run all of that? You've got to be
- 46:08Speaker 2: a management logistics genius to run that. Hey, speaking of
- 46:12Speaker 2: Long Island, there's a legendary place out there, Ohika Castle.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Probably everybody's been to Ohika Castle at one time or another.
- 46:19Speaker 2: If you're in Long Island, you're there a lot. It's
- 46:22Speaker 2: a big, great Gatsby mansion with a million acres and
- 46:25Speaker 2: a golf course and all this. It's an unbelievable place.
- 46:28Speaker 2: It's where everybody has their wedding. There's all kinds of
- 46:30Speaker 2: parties there. It's where Anthony Weiner got married. Remember, Bill
- 46:34Speaker 2: Clinton officiated the wedding. You want to bring your marriage
- 46:38Speaker 2: bad luck, have Bill Clinton do the ceremony. Bill Clinton
- 46:44Speaker 2: does the ceremony. Remember, I told you at the time,
- 46:47Speaker 2: I said, this is bad luck having Bill Clinton do it.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Sure enough, They get married. The storybook, fairytale wedding. Two
- 46:54Speaker 2: seconds later, they find out he's a pervert sexting with
- 46:57Speaker 2: the kids on the Internet. Next thing you know, they're divorced.
- 47:02Speaker 2: But it's a legendary place in Long Island. Well, the
- 47:04Speaker 2: guy that owns it is quite a character, that guy. Anyway,
- 47:08Speaker 2: he filed bankruptcy. So it's been seized by the creditors.
- 47:13Speaker 2: It's up for auction if you want Ohika Castle. October 27th,
- 47:18Speaker 2: it'll be auctioned, concierge auctions. Oh, look at this. Buyers
- 47:24Speaker 2: must pony up $ 750, 000 to even bid, I guess. It's
- 47:30Speaker 2: 113,000 square feet, the mansion. So it'll be auctioned. It
- 47:35Speaker 2: was quite a place. It was originally built like it's
- 47:37Speaker 2: a great Gatsby mansion. And sure enough, in the 1920s,
- 47:39Speaker 2: they had those great Gatsby-type parties there. Then it became
- 47:44Speaker 2: serious for a while. It was used during World War
- 47:47Speaker 2: II for radio operators. You remember what many consider the
- 47:51Speaker 2: greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane? And they showed Xanadu,
- 47:55Speaker 2: where the guy lived. Well, that was Oheka Castle. They
- 47:57Speaker 2: used it for the movie. So pretty interesting. Who's expected
- 48:02Speaker 2: to buy it? No one knows. Although Taconic Capital is
- 48:06Speaker 2: the hedge fund that holds the mortgage. So they could
- 48:09Speaker 2: be one of the buyers. Hey, remember Senator George Mitchell?
- 48:14Speaker 2: It was this old, old, old Senator from Maine, Senator
- 48:17Speaker 2: George Mitchell. And he was a very distinguished looking old Senator.
- 48:22Speaker 2: A big deal in Maine. He was the Maine Senator
- 48:26Speaker 2: for a million years. Like at Maine University, things are
- 48:29Speaker 2: named after him. The building is named after him. The
- 48:32Speaker 2: scholarship is named after him. Senator George Mitchell. Well, now
- 48:37Speaker 2: they want his name torn off the building. They want
- 48:39Speaker 2: his name off the scholarship. He's 93. He's still with us.
- 48:42Speaker 2: He's 93. Because apparently he's mentioned more than 300 times
- 48:47Speaker 2: in the Epstein files. Listen, this guy didn't do anything
- 48:53Speaker 2: bad with Epstein. Epstein had a million aspects of his personality.
- 48:58Speaker 2: One of the things he did was he bought a
- 49:01Speaker 2: lot of politicians. You can buy politicians. He would donate
- 49:06Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions to these politicians' campaigns. They're
- 49:11Speaker 2: super PACs. He would write massive checks. Now, if you
- 49:13Speaker 2: do that for politicians, they will come to your house.
- 49:16Speaker 2: They will have dinner with you, lunch with you. If
- 49:18Speaker 2: you're having a party. they'll come shake everybody's hand you
- 49:22Speaker 2: can buy this is done all the time you can
- 49:25Speaker 2: do it with senators with presidents that's what George Mitchell
- 49:28Speaker 2: was doing fundraising you know and if you need the
- 49:32Speaker 2: Senate Democratic Committee you call Epstein he'll send you a
- 49:36Speaker 2: million dollars every time you call him he'll send you
- 49:38Speaker 2: a million so that's all it was This is nothing sexual.
- 49:41Speaker 2: First of all, you ever see George Mitchell? I guarantee you,
- 49:43Speaker 2: there's not enough Viagra in the world for him to
- 49:47Speaker 2: have done anything. Forget Viagra. The guy would need jumper cables.
- 49:51Speaker 2: I mean, nothing happened with George Mitchell. But the poor guy,
- 49:55Speaker 2: they're taking his name off the building. And just because
- 50:00Speaker 2: you're in the Epstein Files. I'm in the Epstein Files
- 50:01Speaker 2: six times. Nothing bad. Nothing bad. He was coming to
- 50:06Speaker 2: a show I was emceeing. One time there was an
- 50:08Speaker 2: email saying, Something I said on the radio. One time
- 50:11Speaker 2: it was Jackie Martling was emailing him and mentioned me.
- 50:15Speaker 2: So a lot of things. You see the top restaurants
- 50:18Speaker 2: in New York will show up like 42 times in
- 50:21Speaker 2: the Epstein files. Nothing bad. It's just because he would
- 50:24Speaker 2: go there and they have his American Express bills in
- 50:27Speaker 2: the file. So the type of certain restaurant would come
- 50:30Speaker 2: up 47 times. Anyway, we'll take some calls next. We
- 50:34Speaker 2: got the phone. The phones are fixed. Let's test them out.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Call us, especially if you're a new caller. We'd love
- 50:40Speaker 2: to hear from you. Give us a call. 800-321-0710 is
- 50:45Speaker 2: the number. 800-321-0710. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, the
- 50:54Speaker 2: Mark Simone Show. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go
- 50:59Speaker 2: to Jamie, Columbus, Ohio. Jamie, how you doing?
- 51:03Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
- 51:04Speaker 16: Great show. I have a question about these executions that
- 51:08Speaker 16: these states try to do. Why don't they just use
- 51:12Speaker 16: the 25-cent bullet? Why do they still try to use it?
- 51:17Speaker 2: He's talking about this woman, two lethal doses, death penalty,
- 51:25Speaker 2: lethal injections. She survived both of them. I guess they're
- 51:28Speaker 2: trying to be humane. It's not Iran. You can't take
- 51:31Speaker 2: somebody out and shoot them.
- 51:32Speaker 3: Right. Right.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Um, you'd have to have like a firing squad. You
- 51:38Speaker 2: can't do that.
- 51:39Speaker 17: No, no, but you know, do it in a way where, uh,
- 51:42Speaker 17: you know, there's four, you know, there's four guns with, uh,
- 51:47Speaker 17: and one has the bullet and pretty much they don't
- 51:50Speaker 17: know where.
- 51:51Speaker 2: It actually, uh, you know, it's, uh, we're too woke now.
- 51:56Speaker 2: We're too, uh, soft. Now you can't shoot.
- 51:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 51:58Speaker 2: You know, but it's a good question, Jamie. Thanks for calling.
- 52:02Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 52:02Speaker 2: She, uh, they gave her the lethal injection and she survived.
- 52:06Speaker 2: So they gave her another lethal injection, and she survived.
- 52:11Speaker 2: I don't know what you're going to do. I would
- 52:12Speaker 2: take her over there to the Carnegie Deli, get her
- 52:14Speaker 2: one of those nine-foot pastrami sandwiches and the cheesecake. They
- 52:17Speaker 2: give you a piece of cheesecake that is so big.
- 52:19Speaker 2: See if she'll survive that. Actually, it's delicious. It's great.
- 52:24Speaker 2: The new Carnegie. I did eat there finally. Big pastrami sandwich.
- 52:29Speaker 2: The cheesecake is the finest cheesecake you'll ever have. It
- 52:32Speaker 2: was unbelievable. I ate the whole thing. Now, for two days,
- 52:35Speaker 2: my stomach was like lead, but it's worth it. It's delicious.
- 52:40Speaker 2: Let's go to Dana in Poughkeepsie. Dana, how are you doing?
- 52:45Speaker 6: Good.
- 52:45Speaker 9: How are you?
- 52:46Speaker 2: Very good.
- 52:46Speaker 8: So I have a question.
- 52:49Speaker 10: So most of the people who are Trump opponents keep
- 52:54Speaker 10: talking about, oh, he's in the Epstein files, calling him
- 52:57Speaker 10: a pedophile. And I know, like you just said, there's
- 53:02Speaker 10: so many.
- 53:02Speaker 3: People named in there. It's just an email.
- 53:06Speaker 2: They keep bringing up the Epstein files. Trump has nothing
- 53:09Speaker 2: to do with sex with Epstein. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And
- 53:11Speaker 2: he's in the Epstein files a million times. But all
- 53:14Speaker 2: it says is that Epstein hated his guts. They were enemies.
- 53:17Speaker 2: Epstein is bad-mouthing him all through the files. Epstein is
- 53:20Speaker 2: working with Michael Wolff and others trying to bring down Trump.
- 53:24Speaker 10: I saw one reference in there, though, that said, Has
- 53:27Speaker 10: some lady that said she wanted to know why nothing
- 53:29Speaker 10: was being done in regards to information she provided about
- 53:34Speaker 10: Trump saying he's a monster and he was actively.
- 53:36Speaker 3: Recruiting girls with Epstein. But the person's name is, it's
- 53:40Speaker 3: a woman. Yeah, I know.
- 53:41Speaker 2: How come her name is redacted? Because, well, it was
- 53:45Speaker 2: totally debunked. What is that other one? Virginia Giuffre also
- 53:49Speaker 2: totally debunked. She finally confessed that the story she was
- 53:52Speaker 2: telling wasn't true. Yeah, no, Trump is totally, totally exonerated
- 53:56Speaker 2: by the Epstein files. Not only do they have nothing
- 53:59Speaker 2: to do with all that, but if you read the files,
- 54:01Speaker 2: and everybody should go read them, Epstein hated Trump. They
- 54:04Speaker 2: were bitter enemies.
- 54:05Speaker 8: Hated Trump, right?
- 54:06Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 54:06Speaker 2: He wasn't too crazy about you either, but he hated Trump.
- 54:10Speaker 10: That's okay.
- 54:12Speaker 2: And what do you do up there in Poughkeepsie, Dana?
- 54:15Speaker 10: Actually, I'm a financial writer.
- 54:17Speaker 2: Very good.
- 54:18Speaker 10: I work remotely, but I used to work at Bloomberg, actually,
- 54:20Speaker 10: in the city.
- 54:21Speaker 2: That's a nice place to work. Don't they have the
- 54:23Speaker 2: best cafeteria in the world?
- 54:24Speaker 18: Yes, yes.
- 54:26Speaker 3: It's like a casino.
- 54:28Speaker 10: You touch a button, someone's cleaning it, 19 types of
- 54:31Speaker 10: waters and everything you could want.
- 54:33Speaker 2: 47 food stations, the finest of everything you've ever seen.
- 54:36Speaker 2: All right, Dana, great call. Thanks for calling. Let's go
- 54:39Speaker 2: to Joe in Lincoln Park. Joe, how are you doing?
- 54:43Speaker 8: Hey, Mark, a pleasure. Long-time listener. Hey, Patterson, where I
- 54:49Speaker 8: grew up in the 50s and 60s, is now called
- 54:51Speaker 8: Little Palestine. I don't know if you've been there or
- 54:54Speaker 8: heard anything about it. It's got a Muslim mayor.
- 54:57Speaker 2: Everything is— Well, you get those now and then. Dearborn,
- 55:00Speaker 2: Michigan used to be Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Company.
- 55:03Speaker 2: Now it's like the same thing. It's all crazies that
- 55:06Speaker 2: vote for wacko politicians.
- 55:08Speaker 8: Yeah, but they have minarets calling to prayer that I
- 55:11Speaker 8: can hear all the way up the hill in Wayne.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Well, that's why you should get a data center. It
- 55:16Speaker 2: will drown them out. You won't have them anymore.
- 55:18Speaker 8: Exactly.
- 55:18Speaker 2: Anyway, thanks for calling. Good call. Let's go to Vincent
- 55:22Speaker 2: in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
- 55:24Speaker 15: I'm okay, Mark. I guess you were referring to also
- 55:28Speaker 15: this past weekend. A 41-year-old father was killed by an
- 55:34Speaker 15: e-bike in Central Park. Apparently, they had made the e-bike
- 55:41Speaker 15: lanes bigger. Before, there was only one. Now, they've made
- 55:45Speaker 15: them two, and they reduced the pedestrian walkway. And the
- 55:49Speaker 15: way I see it is, as you said, they have
- 55:52Speaker 15: to put some teeth into this legislation. and really follow
- 55:57Speaker 15: it because apparently DoorDash and Uber Eats got to members
- 56:04Speaker 15: of the city council because they wanted to write a
- 56:09Speaker 15: much stronger law, the city council. And, of course, money
- 56:15Speaker 15: got involved and money talks, unfortunately, and we have every day.
- 56:22Speaker 15: I mean, yesterday I heard it on... The news on
- 56:26Speaker 15: your show that 500 people last year were injured by... Oh, it's.
- 56:32Speaker 2: Way more than that. But, Vincent, great call, great point.
- 56:35Speaker 2: We'll get back to that, too. It's a great point.
- 56:37Speaker 2: When we come back, the very funny Jimmy Fallon, he'll
- 56:40Speaker 2: be with us next. On 710WOR.
- 56:44Speaker 6: More Mark.
- 56:45Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
- 56:46Speaker 4: Mr.
- 56:47Speaker 3: New York.
- 56:48Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon. On 710WOR.
- 56:55Speaker 2: Well, Jimmy Fallon, the great comedian, brilliant talk show host.
- 56:58Speaker 2: You can hear him every night. It's a wonderful show
- 57:00Speaker 2: here on WOR. Every night, 9 to midnight. You should
- 57:04Speaker 2: be listening. And then on Saturday nights, he does the
- 57:07Speaker 2: best late night show on television. Fox News Channel, Saturday nights,
- 57:10Speaker 2: 10 o'clock. Best monologue in the world anywhere today. And
- 57:15Speaker 2: he's with us now, Jimmy Fela. How are you doing?
- 57:17Speaker 3: I would have thrown him out the window like Air
- 57:18Speaker 3: Force One and the gates. Yeah, we'll work it out.
- 57:22Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were talking to me.
- 57:24Speaker 9: No, come on, Mark Simone. Never. You're allowed to stay
- 57:27Speaker 9: on the plane.
- 57:28Speaker 2: What are you, on another show at the same time?
- 57:29Speaker 3: He's got to go.
- 57:31Speaker 9: No, I'm walking around Fox News headquarters. Somebody just asked me,
- 57:34Speaker 9: I'm not even kidding, about another radio host out in
- 57:38Speaker 9: the Dakotas that's on my no-fly.
- 57:40Speaker 3: List right now. It's good to hear from you.
- 57:44Speaker 2: So, hey, I'm listening to you the other night. Besides
- 57:47Speaker 2: being very funny, you're actually brilliant. You make brilliant points.
- 57:50Speaker 2: You were talking about.
- 57:51Speaker 3: Well, that's the drugs, but go ahead. Thank you.
- 57:54Speaker 2: People yelling about the reflecting pool, the ballroom. And you
- 57:57Speaker 2: pointed out these are like rich white liberals who have
- 57:59Speaker 2: nothing to do all day. It's not like they're hardworking,
- 58:02Speaker 2: normal Americans. And all they do is watch MSNBC and
- 58:05Speaker 2: get riled up, right? I mean, explain those people to us.
- 58:09Speaker 3: This is why– but that is the truth, okay?
- 58:12Speaker 9: When you hear somebody saying, oh, I'm not voting for him,
- 58:15Speaker 9: not after what.
- 58:16Speaker 3: He did with that arch in downtown Washington, D.C.
- 58:20Speaker 9: I'm like, what you're really telling us is that life
- 58:23Speaker 9: is going– really well for you.
- 58:25Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
- 58:27Speaker 9: There's a lot of people, okay, self-hating white people who
- 58:30Speaker 9: live on the Upper West Side of New York. I mean,
- 58:32Speaker 9: I lived there for a long time.
- 58:33Speaker 3: I was up on 102nd and Broadway.
- 58:35Speaker 9: And there's a lot of really prosperous white liberals who
- 58:38Speaker 9: hate Donald Trump so they don't have to look inward
- 58:41Speaker 9: at things they hate about themselves, okay?
- 58:43Speaker 3: It's true.
- 58:45Speaker 9: I know this because I used to pick these people
- 58:46Speaker 9: up in my taxi and they'd all dump all their
- 58:48Speaker 9: problems because they think they're never going to see you
- 58:50Speaker 9: again and you become like an affordable therapist.
- 58:52Speaker 3: But everybody listening has a friend who.
- 58:55Speaker 9: Hates Trump and has to work whatever the negative Trump
- 58:58Speaker 9: thing is into every conversation.
- 59:01Speaker 3: You're like, how about the Yankees beating the Red Sox?
- 59:03Speaker 9: They're like, oh my God, good thing Trump wasn't there.
- 59:05Speaker 2: Am I right?
- 59:06Speaker 9: He would have like renamed the stadium or something.
- 59:09Speaker 2: It would have been gross.
- 59:10Speaker 7: And you're like, I don't know.
- 59:11Speaker 9: I'm just happy my kid's happy the Yankees won. And
- 59:14Speaker 9: that's who the Democrats are catering to. Those people who are,
- 59:18Speaker 9: you know, again, supremely successful people. And they're kids who
- 59:23Speaker 9: don't want to do anything, so they've decided to adopt
- 59:26Speaker 9: the mantle of socialism and tell us they're all social
- 59:29Speaker 9: justice warriors here to save the world from itself. That's
- 59:32Speaker 9: who the Democratic Party has become.
- 59:34Speaker 2: But as you point out, there are people that work hard.
- 59:36Speaker 2: They've got two jobs. They're working in a factory. They're
- 59:38Speaker 2: raising kids. They don't have time for this, Trump, Adrian.
- 59:40Speaker 2: They're hardworking.
- 59:41Speaker 7: No.
- 59:42Speaker 9: Listen, Jenny's family, my wife's family, is from Wapakoneta, Ohio.
- 59:46Speaker 3: You know, everyone always asks, how'd you get a wife
- 59:48Speaker 3: so pretty?
- 59:49Speaker 7: She grew up on a farm.
- 59:50Speaker 3: She has no idea what her street value is.
- 59:52Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 59:53Speaker 3: She doesn't know how much better she could do. I
- 59:55Speaker 3: married her in farm country.
- 59:56Speaker 9: If she had moved here first, I would have got
- 59:58Speaker 9: shut down at the bar.
- 59:59Speaker 3: That's neither here nor there. The point is, if you
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: go out.
- 1:00:02Speaker 9: To dairy country in Wapakoneta, Ohio, and tell them about
- 1:00:06Speaker 9: the reflecting pool, dude, I mean, they know about the
- 1:00:10Speaker 9: football pool, you know, the company office pool in March Madness,
- 1:00:13Speaker 9: but they don't care about the reflecting pool or the ballroom. Dude,
- 1:00:18Speaker 9: any rational person knows that a ballroom means it's going
- 1:00:21Speaker 9: to be used by multiple generations of people. OK, meaning
- 1:00:25Speaker 9: every president is going to use it. No one's going
- 1:00:27Speaker 9: to knock it down, no matter what they're telling you.
- 1:00:29Speaker 9: They may take down some of the gold because we
- 1:00:32Speaker 9: know it's going to look like Graceland on steroids.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: But the point is.
- 1:00:35Speaker 9: It doesn't affect anybody's life. And when the Democrats are
- 1:00:40Speaker 9: campaigning and devoting so much of their energy to things
- 1:00:43Speaker 9: that don't affect your life, it becomes really hard to
- 1:00:46Speaker 9: relate to them. That's why if you saw that poll,
- 1:00:49Speaker 9: it's a pretty good poll yesterday, that to their credit,
- 1:00:51Speaker 9: they reported that 29% of Americans think the Democratic Party
- 1:00:56Speaker 9: cares about them.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: I was like, that actually sounds high if you're paying attention.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: Hey, this is fascinating, Jimmy Fallon. Explain that self-hating, these
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: angry white liberals. They hate Trump because they hate themselves.
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: How exactly does that work?
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: You want to know something?
- 1:01:11Speaker 9: There's a lot of people who are– and this is
- 1:01:13Speaker 9: an interesting story. This goes back to something I heard
- 1:01:15Speaker 9: in my cab, okay? There's a lot of people who
- 1:01:20Speaker 9: are unhappy in life. and think that attaining some measure
- 1:01:24Speaker 9: of success is going to change everything for them. But
- 1:01:28Speaker 9: what they ultimately come to realize is when they get
- 1:01:30Speaker 9: richer or they get that big promotion, they're still the
- 1:01:33Speaker 9: same person. They're just sitting at home hating themselves on
- 1:01:37Speaker 9: a much nicer couch. And it's the.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: God's own truth.
- 1:01:42Speaker 9: Believe me, I know a lot of miserable TV people,
- 1:01:45Speaker 9: and I know a lot of really happy cab drivers
- 1:01:47Speaker 9: because a woman once told me in my taxi that
- 1:01:49Speaker 9: your attitude– defines your experience. So if you're a person
- 1:01:53Speaker 9: with a good attitude, you usually have a pretty good
- 1:01:55Speaker 9: life no matter what the circumstances look like. But if
- 1:01:58Speaker 9: you're one of those miserable people by default, okay, that's pretty.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: Much going to be the driving force behind every day.
- 1:02:05Speaker 9: And that's, again, that is crack psychology that I learned
- 1:02:08Speaker 9: in a taxi. But that woman, I believed in what
- 1:02:10Speaker 9: she said like so thoroughly.
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: That I've forgiven her for running out on the fair.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they are miserable. Like you say, you go
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: to Ohio. How are you doing?
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: I'm great.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: West side of Manhattan. How are you doing?
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: Look, I have a buddy here at Fox. Okay.
- 1:02:29Speaker 9: Here at Fox, by the way, who absolutely leads every conversation.
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: With whatever's at the top of the Daily Beast. So
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: it's literally like, oh my gosh, did you see J.D.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: Vance is going to jail? I'm like, no, and neither
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: did you. I don't know what you read. I don't
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: know why you have to share this with me.
- 1:02:48Speaker 9: But we do this five days a week that I
- 1:02:50Speaker 9: get this prophecy that never comes true. But the funny
- 1:02:53Speaker 9: thing is, they never revisit the headline.
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: You know, think of like, think of so many things
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: that like, remember Russian collusion.
- 1:03:00Speaker 9: We spent two and a half years on that in
- 1:03:02Speaker 9: the media.
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: Okay. And when it was over, they just moved on
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: as if they didn't do that to us.
- 1:03:08Speaker 8: You know, like.
- 1:03:09Speaker 9: Rachel Maddow was like, he's leaving the White.
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: House in handcuffs.
- 1:03:13Speaker 9: We never even established if he's seen Rocky IV when
- 1:03:16Speaker 9: Trump fights the Russians.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: So this is a brilliant explanation of all of this.
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: And you're right. You know, one thing about MSNBC, you
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: never get the real story about it. I'm watching about
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: the hijacking. It was a Altercation among employees. That's all
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: it was.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: That's my favorite. Tempers flared. That's like Israel. Because nobody
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: does the other thing.
- 1:03:49Speaker 9: Nobody wants to admit that they're complicit in creating this
- 1:03:53Speaker 9: terrible environment. you know it's it's interesting you know when
- 1:03:57Speaker 9: whenever you hear like another outlet railing against fox news
- 1:04:00Speaker 9: they're like oh fox news disinformation you.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: Know it's so dangerous Fox.
- 1:04:05Speaker 9: News didn't push Russian collusion. We didn't push that the
- 1:04:09Speaker 9: vaccine definitely worked.
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: You know what I mean? We didn't do the things.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: They did the things, and they're the ones inflaming the
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: tensions against Israel, which is.
- 1:04:18Speaker 9: Why Fox is picking up so much Jewish viewership, is
- 1:04:21Speaker 9: people realize we're like the only ones sticking up for them.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: You know?
- 1:04:24Speaker 9: You're certainly not watching a lot.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: Of that on MSNBC or CNN, and heaven forbid you're
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: throwing on Miss Rachel.
- 1:04:31Speaker 9: Oh, my goodness. This good guy's crazy.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Now, is some of this Trump's fault? He's not exactly
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: the most diplomatic guy. He can kind of rile people
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: up a little, right? I mean, he kind of plays
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: into it, doesn't he?
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's Trump's thing, though. He is a...
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: I had a grandma like Trump. She just didn't have
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: a filter. And it would have helped sometimes.
- 1:04:54Speaker 9: But, you know, you'd be like, yeah, I didn't see
- 1:04:56Speaker 9: your grandma in two months.
- 1:04:57Speaker 7: You'd be like, hey, grandma.
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: She'd be like, oh, you got fat.
- 1:05:00Speaker 8: And you're like, oh, man.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: Gee. Well, Merry Christmas, I guess. I don't know what
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: to do here. I don't start my New Year's resolutions early.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: Everybody's got one of those relatives. Hey, big news for
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: the Democrats.
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: The.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Iranian Republican Guard endorsed them yesterday. I actually urged people
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: to vote for them. You think we'll see that in
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: campaign ads?
- 1:05:22Speaker 9: This one blew me away. You think you got Iran
- 1:05:24Speaker 9: and the Democrats. You know, one is famous for chanting
- 1:05:27Speaker 9: death to America.
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: The other is Iran. You know, what do we even
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: do here? What do we even do?
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: So you must be really happy about the Yankees last night.
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: I got to tell you, man, I had my son
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: Lincoln came down. He skipped college class. And it was
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: such an epic moment, you know, last night.
- 1:05:48Speaker 9: The last two nights in the Bronx, just so incredible.
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: Because the Yankees, this is the thing, Mark. The Yankees haven't.
- 1:05:54Speaker 9: Won in 15 years. So the crowd is really hungry again.
- 1:05:59Speaker 9: And there's a really good energy. You know, when the
- 1:06:02Speaker 9: Yankees got so successful by the end of the 90s,
- 1:06:04Speaker 9: it had become like a celebrity place where you could
- 1:06:08Speaker 9: see and be seen. You know, like a Lakers game.
- 1:06:11Speaker 9: But I will tell you, Wednesday night I was there.
- 1:06:13Speaker 9: And there were, like, actual fat people sitting behind home plate.
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: It was amazing. It wasn't Instagram influencers.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: It wasn't some starving model.
- 1:06:22Speaker 9: Look, if the Yankees keep winning, they're coming back, you know?
- 1:06:26Speaker 9: But for this first round, it was magical.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: It felt like 1996 again, and I loved it so much.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember, in 96, they hadn't won in 15 years.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: That was, like, the end of the dry spell. Yeah. Yes,
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: and it was a big deal. Jimmy Fallon's on every
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: night here. You should listen to him. I listen to
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: him every night, 9 to midnight. He's on 9 to midnight.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: And what do you got on tonight's show?
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: Ooh, we love this one.
- 1:06:49Speaker 9: So Tudor Dixon is actually over in Israel. And she
- 1:06:54Speaker 9: was supposed to be flying home, I guess, yesterday. out
- 1:06:57Speaker 9: of the same airport that wild flight came flying into
- 1:07:01Speaker 9: after that.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Office disagreement, according to CNN or whatever the heck they're
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: calling it.
- 1:07:07Speaker 9: After that plane was rerouted.
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to Tudor.
- 1:07:14Speaker 9: She's on the scene in Israel, and I'm excited to
- 1:07:16Speaker 9: hear all about it.
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: The story's crazy. If half of what Trump was saying is.
- 1:07:20Speaker 9: True, a plumber was watching a TV show about airline disasters.
- 1:07:25Speaker 9: I don't know what's going on, but I hope.
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: I can get cast in one of these movies. Hey, also,

- 1:09:27Speaker 2: we start at 9 o'clock every day now. So President
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: Trump has given a big interview to Time Magazine. The
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: left going nuts now. Interview is leaking out. Mediaite. Mediaite
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: is a very left-wing, very slanted website. They said the
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: five wildest moments from Trump's Time magazine interview. Wildest moments
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: means left-wing picks up on this. Apparently in the interview,
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: he lashed out at all the Supreme Court decisions and
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: said he regrets all of his Supreme Court picks. That
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: would be Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett says he regrets
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: every one of them. Okay, that's supposed to be the
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: wildest moment. Oh, here's the other wild moment, according to
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: the media. Trump ramps up Caitlin Collins attacks. Well, everybody hates,
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: I mean, except for the left, everybody hates this Caitlin Collins. Angry, nasty, slanted, biased,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: and oh, look at this. Trump threatens to add New
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: York Times to the media band. All right, that's fine.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: A lot of people that read it still think it's
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: the New York Times, the prestigious paper of record. It's
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: just a slanted, slanted, it's beyond slanted. They don't even,
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: if you're a New York Times reader, a lot of
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: the news is withheld from you. A lot of information
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: is deliberately withheld from you. You're getting misled on a
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: lot of things. For instance, this awful hijacking by this
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: radical extremist, religious fanatic, terrorist, from Oman, the guy that
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: tried to crash the plane. He's a terrorist. We know that.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: We knew that right away. But New York Times yesterday
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: said it was an altercation among employees. An altercation among employees.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: So if you're reading the Times, you're really missing a
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: lot of news. The other bombshells from the interview. Trump
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: says he'll pardon his staffers. Well, I guess that's going
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: to be the tradition now. Biden created this whole thing
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: where you pardon all your All your own officials before
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: you leave office. And I guess every president will do
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: that from now on. Here's number four. Trump insists that
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: he met his timeline on Iran. Well, I think they
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: thought that would be a couple of weeks. It's seven months.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: But it's not really seven months. You know, if you
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: watch the left-wing news, they'll say, as the war enters,
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: it's seven months. Yeah, but it's only like 12 days
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: out of seven months. It's the strangest war ever. They
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: go to war. Missiles, bombs, firing, shooting, the war for
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: one day. And then they say, you know what? We'll
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: see you next month. We'll resume in 15 days. And
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: so it's a day. It's like one day a month.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: We've never seen a war like that. Once every month
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: they come out and fight for a day. That's about it.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Number five wildest moment, according to the left-wing site Mediate,
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Trump snaps at the interviewer. about not asking one blanking
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: positive question. Well, that's a good point. That's a very
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: good point. If they were interviewing Obama or Biden, they
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: would ask some positive stuff. But it's all vicious, negative questions. Very, very,
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: very slanted. Hey, Britain, just falling apart. Left-wing kooks have
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: taken over Britain. So the new thing now is they're
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: releasing all their prisoners. Thousands and thousands of prisoners. Just ridiculous.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: Just released into the streets, which means, you know, one
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: thing about the London, Britain, crime-free. Remember years ago, the police,
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: why they don't even carry guns. It's so crime-free. Now
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: it's street crime, crime everywhere. And they're releasing thousands of prisoners.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: This is an Andrew Cuomo type thing. You remember when
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: Cuomo was governor, he not only closed the prisons and
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: released prisoners, he bragged about it. He bragged about being
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: the governor has closed more prisons than any other governor.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: You see these stories in the news, some lunatic nut
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: job or some awful guy beat up somebody, stabbed somebody
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: on the subway, attacked somebody, raped somebody. Very often you
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: read the story, it's one of these people they released
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: from prison. Just let them loose. Trump getting a lot
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: of flack over a TV ad that was put together.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: It's an ad, I guess it's promoting him, but it's really,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just promoting the government, federal government,
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: the administration. paid for by taxpayer money. So they're yelling
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: and screaming, as they always do, that this is illegal,
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: you can't use taxpayer money to fund a campaign ad.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: But Trump points out... I'm not running for office, first
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: of all.
- 1:14:09Speaker 11: And so the ads are given by me, but I'm
- 1:14:12Speaker 11: not running for office.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: And I don't talk about anybody. That's a very good point.
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: How can it be a campaign ad if there's no campaign?
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: He's not running for... anything. I'm not promoting, you have
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: to understand, I'm not promoting a candidate. I'm not promoting
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: myself because I'm not running for office. I'm promoting the country. Now,
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: I played to this before, even the CNN pollster saying
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: Democrats could get wiped out in November. You know, if
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: you read the fake polls and all of that, they
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: make it sound like Republicans have no chance in the midterms. Well,
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: it may be the other way around. In the real polls,
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: it's too close to call. And it's all going to
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: be about turnout. If Republicans turn out, they're going to win.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: If Republicans stay home, Democrats have a good shot. But
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: here's the real interesting key to all this. You know,
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: the fake polls keep trying to convince everybody Democrats have
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: a big lead. That's not the case. Those are the
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: fake polls. Now, listen to this. Chuck Schumer, in this
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: big interview here, Chuck Schumer, first of all, he says
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: he's going to run again for the Senate leader among
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: the Democratic leader. He's 75 years old. The Democrats hate Schumer.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: He's a crusty, nasty, old, useless politician, cheap politician from
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: years ago. The new breed of Democrats, they don't like
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: these useless old senators. But he says he will run
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: for Senate leader again. But here's the thing. In the interview,
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: he's warning now, warning. The Republicans may steal the election.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Republicans might steal the election. Now, there's no reason to
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: think that. There's no evidence. Why would he all of
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: a sudden be yelling, watch out, the Republicans are going
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: to steal the election? Why would he keep saying that? Well,
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: because he's seen the internal polling and he's seen that
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: Republicans might win. So he's setting up this whole false
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: narrative that they stole it to explain why suddenly they won.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: But that's a good sign in the polling he's seeing
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: that Republicans look pretty strong. He's already yelling and screaming
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: that they're going to steal the election. Now, first of all,
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: if you claim they stole it, that's what they call
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: election denying. Remember how hard they came down on Trump
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: when he implied that Democrats stole the election? Remember how
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: crazy they got that Trump said it? Well, if a
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: Democrat says it, it's just fine. They don't worry at all. Hey,
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: Yankees big win last night. Spike Lee apparently getting into
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: a fight. Spike Lee, you know, he's always there at
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: the basketball games. Well, now he's at the Yankee games
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: and he came into the legend suite. And one thing
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: about Spike Lee, he's a very nice guy in real life.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: And when he comes into the Legend Suite or wherever
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: it is, talks to everybody. He'll take pictures with everybody.
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: Even when he's sitting at a table, he'll have some
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: empty seats. Anybody can sit with him. He's a very
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: nice guy with people. However, there was a lunatic or
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: some nut job there screaming at him about Palestine. A
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: guy with a video, you know, with a phone trying
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: to video him. saying, I want you to say F Palestine.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: I want you to say the really bad guy. So
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: Spike Lee got a little crazy and then jumped up
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: and tried to attack the guy. People had to hold
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: Spike Lee back. It's quite a story because when you're
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: like 102 pounds, I don't know if you should be
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: attacking anybody. How hard was it to hold him back?
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: But they got the bad guy out of the room
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: and he was gone. Hey, tonight there's a debate. I
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: think it's the Comptroller debate. And then a week from now,
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: there is the Attorney General debate. Letitia James, you can
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: throw her out, which you should do on Election Day.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Vote for the Republican. I can't remember her name. It's
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: a long name. But throw Letitia James out of office
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: and get the Republican in there. So we get a
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: legitimate Attorney General, not a crazed partisan warfare, lawfare Attorney General.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: And then the gubernatorial debate, it'll be Blakeman against Hochul,
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: is 12 days from now. Unfortunately, it's on New York One,
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: which nobody sees. Hochul would not agree to any major
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: real debate. Channel 2, Channel 4, Channel 5, Channel 7,
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: everybody tried to get Hochul to debate Blakeman. She refused
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: all debates. The only one she accepted is little New
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: York One, because it has very few viewers. And because
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: it's extremely biased. It's extremely left-wing at New York One.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: Very biased. And the moderator will be Errol Lewis. Nice guy.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: but very biased left-wing. So Hoke will agree to that,
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: where she'll be protected by them. That's the only debate
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: with Blakeman, which is really unfair. I mean, she didn't
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: take public money. She was able to raise a ton
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: of money. If you don't take the public matching funds,
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: then you don't have to agree to any debates, and
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: it's just awful, but Hochul's not going to debate on
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: any major station. Mamdani is, who knows what he's up
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: to with this. He's launching his anti-Semitism, fight against anti-Semitism. Nobody,
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: no mayor has ever done more to stir up the anti-Semitism.
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: No mayor has ever acted more anti-Semitic than Mamdani. Now
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: he's pretending to fight it. He's getting a lot of criticism.
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: And he's doing one of those, well, I'm only attacking Israel.
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: I'm not attacking Jews. You can't separate the two. Sorry.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way.
- 1:19:48Speaker 19: Criticism of a prime minister, criticism of government policy is
- 1:19:52Speaker 19: distinct from bigotry of a people. And what my job
- 1:19:57Speaker 19: is to ensure is not only that we are proud
- 1:19:59Speaker 19: of being the most Jewish city in the United States
- 1:20:01Speaker 19: of America, but that we also make this a city
- 1:20:03Speaker 19: where Jewish life can continue to flourish.
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: Nobody knows what the hell he's up to, suddenly pretending
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: he's fighting anti-Semitism, suddenly pretending he loves Jews. Nobody knows
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: what this guy's about to pull with this stuff.
- 1:20:16Speaker 19: Frankly, when it comes to criticism of the Israeli prime
- 1:20:20Speaker 19: minister or the Israeli government, that has no bearing on
- 1:20:23Speaker 19: our responsibility to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the cry of the anti-Semites. Oh, I'm
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: only attacking Israel. I'm only picking on Israel. You know,
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: Israel was the subject of a holocaust on october 7th
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: october 7th was a vicious holocaust launch against israel a
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: horrible horrible horrible thing and uh netanyahu's doing what he's
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: supposed to do responding strong responses he can come up
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: with so uh nobody knows why mamdani's suddenly doing this
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: is it just to get the heat off him for
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: his anti-semitism or is it He's got some crap planned,
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: and this is cover for it. I don't know. Bruce Blakeman.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: He still hasn't denounced global intifada.
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: The whole thing's a joke.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just terrible. So Blakeman running a lot of
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: ads everywhere. That's good. And you can help the campaign.
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: You want to donate, go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. Pete Hegseth
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: getting a lot of criticism. He just fired a bunch
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: of generals. A lot of criticism. And people, you know,
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: the left wing. See, that's the other thing. If you're
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: a MS Now viewer, CNN viewer, you don't know what's
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: going on. These are great generals. Oh, they've been there
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: for years. How could he fire these generals? Well, the
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: truth is many of them are really bad, really political.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: There are a lot of bad generals in there. They
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: needed to be fired. And good for Hexeth. Good for Hexeth.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: He got it done.
- 1:21:54Speaker 20: Those who responded positively, which is most of them. are
- 1:21:58Speaker 20: leading newly focused and newly empowered and disciplined formations. Those
- 1:22:04Speaker 20: generals who did not, who clung to the woke department
- 1:22:08Speaker 20: or seem to think civilian control of the military is
- 1:22:12Speaker 20: simply a suggestion, well, they no longer work here.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: Yeah, there were some bad generals there, the Mark Milley types.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: I mean, really bad political operatives trying to just wreak
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: havoc within the Pentagon. You can watch the video of them.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: There's some funny video of Milley saying, you know, when
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: he refused to appear with Trumpets, I cannot get involved
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: in politics or issues ever in any way. It's wrong.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: And then you cut that together with thousands and thousands
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: of videos of him taking extreme political stances, lashing out
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: on political issues. It was just a mass of political
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: nonsense and contradictions. Hey, why is this? Alcohol use declining.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: Why is that exactly? It's going up on one age group,
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: 50 to 64. 50 to 64-year-olds, it's up 4%. Everywhere else,
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: it's going way down. Gen Z, it declined by more
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: than 5%. Millennials drinking 17% less. Why is that? Oh,
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: you know why? Pot, weed, it's everywhere. Who needs the
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: alcohol anymore? It's everywhere. Hey, what's the worst housing market
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: in America right now? If you go state by state.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: If you try to sell a house, what's the worst
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: housing market in America right now? It's Florida. Florida is one.
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: Toughest place to sell a home right now. According to
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: the latest ranking, they did all 48 states, continental states.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: Florida is at the bottom of the barrel. 210,000 homes
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: are up for sale. It's the biggest glut of any
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: state studied. Toughest place to sell a house right now. Florida,
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: really tough. What's the easiest place to sell a house?
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Hottest market? Connecticut. Connecticut. Over half its homes, 56%, sold
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: above asking. That's the highest ranking of any state in
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: the nation. Hey, we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: the number. We look for new callers, too. If you're
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: a new caller, call us.
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: We'll take some calls next.
- 1:24:26Speaker 12: 800-321-0710.
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: Much more Mark. Mark Simone.
- 1:24:28Speaker 3: On 710WOR.
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: Thank you, Shadow Stevens.
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: Let's take some calls.
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Connecticut. Mike, how you doing? Yep,
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: let me try it again. Mike, are you there?
- 1:24:38Speaker 10: Hi.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: I got him again. Mike from Connecticut. No, we lost him.
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Ronkonkomo. John, how are you doing?
- 1:25:04Speaker 7: Doing good, Mark.
- 1:25:05Speaker 8: How are you doing?
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 1:25:06Speaker 8: Hey, so what are your thoughts on what are the
- 1:25:11Speaker 8: chances that Jack Smith actually gets, you know, gets charged?
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: Well, everything he did was unethical, immoral, disgusting. creepy, partisan,
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: but there's a question as to whether anything was actually illegal.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: He is getting sued right now. One of the disgusting
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: things he did was he investigated everybody in Congress, senators,
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: congressmen and women. He got their phone records, their texts,
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: their emails. There was no reason to do this. He
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: had no authority to do this, but he did it,
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: and Senator Marsha Blackburn is the first to sue him
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: Hopefully others will file lawsuits against him. Hopefully he'll spend
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: the rest of his life in court getting sued. But
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: he's a creepy, weirdo, bug-eyed, disgusting, dirty cop. Hopefully they will.
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: I don't know if they'll be able to prosecute him.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: But hopefully they'll be suing him for the rest of
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: his life. Let's go to Tom in Queens. Tom, how
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: are you doing?
- 1:26:13Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark.
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: So Ringo Starr is playing at Forest Hills tonight. First
- 1:26:19Speaker 3: time since 1964.
- 1:26:22Speaker 8: Just wondering if you ever had.
- 1:26:23Speaker 3: A chance to interview him or talk to him.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: Yeah, a bunch of times. He's a very nice guy.
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: He's kind of a goofy, you know, I mean that
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: in a nice way. He's kind of a goofy, fun
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: sort of a guy. You know, Lennon was very serious.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: McCartney is a little mixture of both. George Harrison was,
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: he was kind of shy, George Harrison, but smart guy.
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: Are you going to go see Ringo tonight?
- 1:26:48Speaker 7: Yeah, the weather's supposed to be nice.
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: It's outside Forest Hills, so it should be a good night. Yeah,
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: all right. Well, have fun tonight. You know, you go
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: to a McCartney concert, it's incredible. McCartney will do two hours.
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: And if you wanted to relive the Beatles music, it's
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: McCartney that can kind of really do that for you.
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: With Ringo, it's a little different. How many records featured
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: the voice of Ringo Starr? A handful. But it's still Ringo. McCartney,
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: an incredible... Incredible shape. You know, Ringo looking a little older.
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: McCartney looks like, hey, he looks older, but he's pretty.
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: I've never seen a guy like him do. He'll do
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: a two-hour concert and never take a sip of water
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: the whole time. It's unbelievable. Let's go to Mike in St. James. Mike,
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 1:27:34Speaker 12: Good, Mark.
- 1:27:34Speaker 15: Thank you.
- 1:27:35Speaker 12: Hey, when a general or admiral gets fired, don't they
- 1:27:38Speaker 12: actually move him rather than put him out on the street?
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: What do you mean?
- 1:27:44Speaker 12: They move him to a different position, right?
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess they take his generalship away and they
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: move him to something else. But it's kind of the
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: sign to get the hell out of there. Now, usually
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: when you're a general and you leave the Pentagon, you
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: then make millions and millions and millions working for defense contractors.
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: Of course, if you just got fired and they know
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: that this administration can't stand you, but they know there'll
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: be another administration in two years and they'll put you
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: on the payroll. You can get a lot of money
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: as an ex-general. Let's go to Michael Danbury, Connecticut. Michael,
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: how are you doing?
- 1:28:20Speaker 18: Good morning, Mark. How are you?
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: Good.
- 1:28:21Speaker 18: I just wanted to touch on the tie-in. This Clancy trial,
- 1:28:26Speaker 18: it seems to be that they want people to look
- 1:28:29Speaker 18: at it from her point of view, that she's had problems,
- 1:28:32Speaker 18: and you have to understand all that. So in keeping
- 1:28:35Speaker 18: with that, I wanted to get your take on these
- 1:28:37Speaker 18: two Chris Hansen movies that have come out. where it
- 1:28:41Speaker 18: almost seems they're portraying him like he's completely out of
- 1:28:44Speaker 18: his mind, and the things that he did to these
- 1:28:47Speaker 18: perverts is actually not correct.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: If I'm not wrong, he's already suing them, isn't he?
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: I think he is.
- 1:28:53Speaker 18: I believe so, yes.
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: Yeah, the two... Documentaries are the cheapest, easiest thing to make.
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: So they're making documentaries about anything and everything. But there's
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: one about Dateline, Chris Hansen. I believe he's already suing them.
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: We'll look into that and report back to you tomorrow
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: on those lawsuits. And Dateline, remember, they catch the pervert
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: and he's there waiting to meet the 15-year-old girl. All
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: of a sudden, Chris Hansen walks out. And then remember
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: the guy would run out of the house and 42
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: cops would jump on him. It was a big thing
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: for years, Dateline. On NBC. Let's go to Jim in
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
- 1:29:31Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. How you been there, Mark? Good.
- 1:29:34Speaker 8: Been a while since we spoke. And, gee, Mark, give
- 1:29:38Speaker 8: me a feeling on the Save America Act.
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: I've been busy.
- 1:29:41Speaker 7: I haven't been able to listen too much, but. I mean,
- 1:29:43Speaker 7: shame on him.
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: What do you mean you've been busy? What the hell
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: could you have been doing? How busy are you? Tell
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: us what you were so busy with.
- 1:29:50Speaker 7: My wife keeps me jumping around the house. Even in retirement, Mark,
- 1:29:55Speaker 7: there's absolutely not much rest at all.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: So you were probably a big business guy. You were
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: probably a big executive, yelling at unions, standing up to everybody.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: Now you go home and your wife has you taking
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: out the garbage and.
- 1:30:08Speaker 7: Actually, I was a union member, electrician union.
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: Tough union guy, big union boss. As soon as you
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: come home, the wife goes, take out the garbage. What
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: do I say? Yes, honey. Why do you put up
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: with it? That's the question.
- 1:30:24Speaker 7: Women run the world. But really, you know, I sit
- 1:30:29Speaker 7: back and I say, What's more important than the Save
- 1:30:32Speaker 7: America Act? I just think they're underestimating the Republican Party
- 1:30:36Speaker 7: that it's going to have an impact on the midterms.
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: Well, the Save America Act is a great thing. It'd
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: be honest voting, a proper voting procedure. But it will
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: not take effect for the midterms. It'll take a while
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: to implement it.
- 1:30:49Speaker 7: Mark, we got the House, the Senate, and probably the
- 1:30:51Speaker 7: greatest president we ever had. They can't get it through.
- 1:30:55Speaker 7: It's great.
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: Except for your wife, everything's perfect. Except for the wife
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: yelling at you. Anyway, thanks for calling. When we come back,
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: we'll talk to the brilliant columnist, Liz Peek. She'll be
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: with us next on 710WOR.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
- 1:31:11Speaker 6: Mark Simone.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: More Mark.
- 1:31:14Speaker 6: On 710WOR.
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: Well, the brilliant columnist, Liz Peek. You can read her columns, foxnews.com, thehill.com.
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: Even better, go to her website. You can get everything there.
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: Just go to lizpeek.com, lizpeek.com. Liz Peek, how are you doing?
- 1:31:32Speaker 6: I am terrific. Thanks for having me on.
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: Hey, only 33 days until the midterms. What do you think? Republicans,
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: they haven't really done enough messaging and spending, have they?
- 1:31:45Speaker 6: Oh, I think that's totally true. It's very discouraging to
- 1:31:50Speaker 6: know that there's a lot of good material for Republicans
- 1:31:55Speaker 6: out there campaigning, Mark, and particularly Republicans good material coming from,
- 1:32:00Speaker 6: for example, the big, beautiful bill, which absolutely directly ties
- 1:32:04Speaker 6: to the fact that so many American families are feeling
- 1:32:08Speaker 6: better off. I understand that inflation is the big issue
- 1:32:12Speaker 6: and affordability and everything. But the reality is, you know,
- 1:32:15Speaker 6: it's kind of binary. Republicans cut taxes, giving more money
- 1:32:20Speaker 6: to people to take home out of their paycheck. And
- 1:32:23Speaker 6: what do Democrats want to do? Kamala Harris incredibly ran
- 1:32:27Speaker 6: against the 2000s, extending the 2017 tax cuts. In other words,
- 1:32:32Speaker 6: she wanted to ladle onto our economy and our population
- 1:32:37Speaker 6: a massive tax increase. Wayne, have you ever heard about
- 1:32:40Speaker 6: Democrats wanting to cut taxes? They don't. They oppose it
- 1:32:44Speaker 6: all the time. So, you know, no taxes on tips,
- 1:32:47Speaker 6: no taxes on overtime. Those are very popular measures that
- 1:32:52Speaker 6: were in that big, beautiful bill. And It's just weird.
- 1:32:55Speaker 6: I think a lot of Republicans are running away from
- 1:32:58Speaker 6: that bill, worried that they're going to be accused of
- 1:33:02Speaker 6: backing handouts to the rich. It was a middle class
- 1:33:05Speaker 6: tax bill. That's what it was. And frankly, they should
- 1:33:08Speaker 6: have followed it up with more middle class tax cuts
- 1:33:13Speaker 6: this year. And it's very unfortunate, to use a mild word,
- 1:33:18Speaker 6: that they didn't have another reconciliation bill with more changes
- 1:33:23Speaker 6: in it. Because yes, I know everyone is worried about
- 1:33:26Speaker 6: federal spending and the deficit. Yeah, so cut spending, which
- 1:33:30Speaker 6: of course Democrats hate the idea of, but also every
- 1:33:34Speaker 6: time they've cut taxes, you get more revenue. That is
- 1:33:36Speaker 6: the history. It's a fact. And Republicans should have run
- 1:33:40Speaker 6: with that. Anyway, look, every candidate has his own local
- 1:33:46Speaker 6: issues to be concerned about, but man, I think they
- 1:33:49Speaker 6: missed a big opportunity let's face it, they had the trifecta, right?
- 1:33:53Speaker 6: The Senate, the House, and the White House. And even
- 1:33:56Speaker 6: though the margins were pretty narrow, certainly things like cutting
- 1:34:01Speaker 6: taxes should have been first and foremost on their agenda.
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: Yeah, the only problem, though, in the world of fake news,
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: when people are watching network news, reading the New York Times,
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: all they hear is the Republicans, it was tax cuts
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: for the rich, tax cuts for billionaires. And they start
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: to believe that that's all it was. It's certainly not
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: the case. But how do you battle that fake news?
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: How do you get through?
- 1:34:21Speaker 6: Well, for one thing, you try. I mean, you try
- 1:34:23Speaker 6: talking about the benefits, the thousands of dollars that the
- 1:34:27Speaker 6: average American family took home last year because of the
- 1:34:31Speaker 6: tax cuts. And the evidence is on our side. The
- 1:34:34Speaker 6: facts are on our side. But I have to say
- 1:34:37Speaker 6: what Democrats have is a message machine, the email. You know,
- 1:34:41Speaker 6: we've all seen these things on Twitter, right, where the
- 1:34:43Speaker 6: email goes out in the morning and 16 politicians say
- 1:34:48Speaker 6: exactly the same words. in response. Where is our messaging, maestro?
- 1:34:54Speaker 6: I don't know that we have one. If we do,
- 1:34:56Speaker 6: they're sure not doing a very good job. You know,
- 1:35:01Speaker 6: there's just an awful lot of issues that the American
- 1:35:03Speaker 6: people believe Republicans have a better view on, like immigration enforcement.
- 1:35:09Speaker 6: Who's out there talking about the fact that the border
- 1:35:11Speaker 6: is secure? I don't think anybody is campaigning on that. Mark,
- 1:35:15Speaker 6: has everybody got just a faulty memory? This was less
- 1:35:18Speaker 6: than two years ago. It was one of the top
- 1:35:21Speaker 6: three issues for American voters. Just because you solve the
- 1:35:25Speaker 6: issue doesn't mean it's not important. And by the way,
- 1:35:28Speaker 6: Democrats have every opportunity, because all of that was done
- 1:35:32Speaker 6: through executive action, to go in and start undoing what
- 1:35:35Speaker 6: Trump has done. Is that really what Americans want? I mean,
- 1:35:39Speaker 6: I really am frustrated by voters' singular focus, particularly on affordability,
- 1:35:45Speaker 6: which is just such a ridiculous thing. The idea that Democrats...
- 1:35:50Speaker 6: who absolutely chronically raise taxes and increase regulations, both of
- 1:35:55Speaker 6: which we can absolutely certify need to higher prices. They're
- 1:36:00Speaker 6: the party of affordability. I don't even know how people
- 1:36:03Speaker 6: can really be tolerating this nonsense.
- 1:36:06Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: Oh, and the price of gas for it. You know,
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: if it was up to Democrats, it'd be $ 10. That's
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: what they always push for, isn't it? They raise their
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: energy costs.
- 1:36:14Speaker 6: It's true. Yes, Trump's war in Iran, which of course
- 1:36:18Speaker 6: now has become unpopular, has made oil prices higher. Interestingly,
- 1:36:24Speaker 6: oil prices are coming down now, but somehow nobody's really
- 1:36:27Speaker 6: responding to that. And the war in Russia, which is
- 1:36:30Speaker 6: certainly not Trump's fault, that basically Joe Biden green-lighted when
- 1:36:35Speaker 6: he said, well, if it's just a minor incursion, meaning
- 1:36:38Speaker 6: we wouldn't be too upset about Putin just taking a
- 1:36:41Speaker 6: small fraction of Ukraine. Yeah, prices are high right now
- 1:36:46Speaker 6: for products, but, you know, other prices are coming down
- 1:36:50Speaker 6: and inflation's around 3%. We had a pretty favorable ruling
- 1:36:55Speaker 6: reading on that yesterday. And where was it during Biden?
- 1:37:01Speaker 6: It peaked at 9%. And yet somehow now, really what
- 1:37:06Speaker 6: happened is that prices went up about, for everything, went
- 1:37:09Speaker 6: up about 20% when Joe Biden was president. Trump comes in.
- 1:37:13Speaker 6: foolishly saying he can lower prices because prices almost never
- 1:37:17Speaker 6: go down except for commodities. And, you know, they continue
- 1:37:21Speaker 6: to go up two or 3% a year, but we're
- 1:37:23Speaker 6: basically eating still Biden's inflation. And that is a fact.
- 1:37:28Speaker 6: During Biden's administration, a lot of things went wrong, including
- 1:37:32Speaker 6: everybody felt like they were entitled to raise prices. And
- 1:37:36Speaker 6: that was a really pretty bad scenario.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: Hey, Liz Peek, explain this to me. The president did
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: the smartest thing you could do. He got, for the
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: AI problem, he got the heads of all the AI
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: companies and all the Google and all the most brilliant
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: people in America, the brilliant tech geniuses, tech geniuses, all
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: in one room. And what did they come up with? Well,
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: form a committee? That's what they came up with? I
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: could have thought of that. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:38:03Speaker 6: Maybe it could have been done remotely. Look, I think
- 1:38:06Speaker 6: any time you convene a group like that that is
- 1:38:10Speaker 6: fiercely competing with each other, but also has very, very
- 1:38:14Speaker 6: important interests that the federal government has to be basically
- 1:38:21Speaker 6: addressing and that the public is addressing, you're not going
- 1:38:25Speaker 6: to walk away with a resolution. I mean, I think
- 1:38:29Speaker 6: the answer is I actually buy the idea that the
- 1:38:33Speaker 6: industry has to impose upon itself some restrictions, some guardrails
- 1:38:39Speaker 6: is the popular word for how we monitor the behavior
- 1:38:46Speaker 6: of new agents being spawned by these new models. There's
- 1:38:50Speaker 6: a concern here. I think Trump was foolish in dismissing
- 1:38:53Speaker 6: the public's concern about AI safety. I think it's quite
- 1:38:58Speaker 6: possible that the AI executives are overstating the risks for
- 1:39:03Speaker 6: various self-serving interests. But the reality is these companies have
- 1:39:09Speaker 6: seen these AI agents go rogue. And frankly, I've been
- 1:39:13Speaker 6: talking about this for a year. The fact that they
- 1:39:16Speaker 6: had not ever put out sort of a PR blitz
- 1:39:20Speaker 6: about the advantages or the positives of AI means the
- 1:39:23Speaker 6: country already is sort of scared slash apprehensive about what
- 1:39:29Speaker 6: damage AI could do and really not particularly excited about
- 1:39:33Speaker 6: the very positive things AI could do. This was a
- 1:39:37Speaker 6: major miss by the industry, but now we have not
- 1:39:40Speaker 6: only concerted action taken against data centers, which is a
- 1:39:45Speaker 6: completely different issue. And that should have been resolved. It's
- 1:39:48Speaker 6: incredible that the Democrats blocked a measure trying to resolve
- 1:39:53Speaker 6: some of the issues about data centers. But that's completely
- 1:39:56Speaker 6: separate from this safety thing. Anyway, look, you know, I
- 1:40:01Speaker 6: think we'll see progress on this issue. I think the
- 1:40:04Speaker 6: industry is aware that these concerns are real. They need
- 1:40:08Speaker 6: to be addressed. And I hope they will. And I
- 1:40:09Speaker 6: hope the White House does, too.
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: These are the greatest geniuses of AI, though. I would
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: have thought they'd come out of the meeting, maybe explain
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: something to us. Like, 80% of AI is great, wonderful,
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: nothing to worry about. There's a little part of it that's,
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: they call it that recursive, where it can reinvent itself.
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: That's right. Why don't they just explain to us exactly
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: where the problem is in AI and if there's a
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: way to fix it?
- 1:40:32Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you. And it's, you know, have
- 1:40:35Speaker 6: we reached singularity, which is when agents really become better
- 1:40:39Speaker 6: empowered than humans are. No one really is able to.
- 1:40:42Speaker 6: And I think the problem, Mark, honestly, people aren't really
- 1:40:46Speaker 6: sure where we are. I don't even think the industry
- 1:40:49Speaker 6: is quite aware of where we are. They have agents
- 1:40:53Speaker 6: they've created that engineers have created. that are doing unexpected things.
- 1:40:58Speaker 6: And you have to kind of say, well, wait a minute,
- 1:40:59Speaker 6: how can that possibly be? We engineers, we humans set
- 1:41:03Speaker 6: the guardrails, set the rules, tell these agents what to do.
- 1:41:07Speaker 6: And then they do things that are not only unexpected,
- 1:41:10Speaker 6: but not permitted. That is alarming, right? I mean, there
- 1:41:14Speaker 6: is something going on here that isn't quite as expected
- 1:41:18Speaker 6: or isn't right. And I think the industry, frankly, doesn't
- 1:41:22Speaker 6: know what to say about it. I mean, You know,
- 1:41:24Speaker 6: I've read all this stuff, and I think you ought
- 1:41:26Speaker 6: to read Amadei's, Dario Amodei's screeds and other people's writings
- 1:41:33Speaker 6: on this topic. It's pretty fascinating, honestly, but it's also
- 1:41:38Speaker 6: a little concerning, to be sure.
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: Yeah, they could go rogue, do things you didn't expect.
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: Of course, that's the same thing with the Supreme Court justices, too.
- 1:41:46Speaker 6: Yeah, or even, you know, mayors. Who can tell, right?
- 1:41:50Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peek, brilliant as always. You got to read
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: her columns, foxnews.com, thehill.com. But the best thing you should

- 1:42:56Speaker 2: to two other states over the weekend. I don't know.
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: Is it too late? 33 days until the midterms? No,
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: not too late. He's going to be out there on
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: the campaign trail a lot now in the coming weeks. Now,
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: they also got a ton of money. The RNC's got
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: 250 million and they haven't deployed a lot of it yet.
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: So they got to start doing that. Again, 33 days
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: until the midterms. Yankees won last night. Won big. They
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: wiped out the Red Sox very quickly, and they move
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: on now to the playoffs, the actual playoffs. The first
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: game will be Saturday night in Tampa. That'll be a big,
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: big thing. The Yankees in Tampa, Saturday night. Hey, it's
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: going to be nice today.
- 1:43:40Speaker 10: 75, dry.
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: Weather will be good. Tomorrow, 85. This is the last
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: time I think you'll see the mid-80s tomorrow. There's a
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: slight chance of rain maybe in the afternoon. But otherwise,
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: it's going to be a very, very nice weekend. So
