  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on seven.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Woo Hey, what's today? Thursday? Seems like the week's Oh,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: it's been a hell of a week, a lot of
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: this stressful, draining week because of everything going on. But hey,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: we'll get to mom Donnie. We'll also give you the
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: whole story of how he did this. It's an interesting
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes story of how he went from zero
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: to forty one percent to fifty percent and to win
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the election with a majority. By the way, with a
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: majority of the votes. Now, only let me see forty
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: five percent of New York voted registered voters, which is
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: actually less than actual population. Out of all the registered
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: voters in New York, only forty five percent voted. That
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: was it. But we'll get to the campaign, how it worked.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the transition to Nancy Pelosi, she's leaving.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the shutdown. We'll get to Oh, MSNBC.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: The final week is next week of MSNBC. Then it
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: switches to this new thing. But we'll explain all of
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: that coming up. Mam Donnie has picked his transition team. Now,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: as we've been telling you, it's a lot of the
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Deblasio people. The Deblasio staff came in and helped the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Mam Donnie campaign, and there'll be a big party administration.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: So if you're wondering how bad it's going to be,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: it will be very, very Deblasio like because a lot
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: of his people will be involved in this. He's picked
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the transition team, Elena Leopold, who was with Mayor Deblasio.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: She was his team's executive director, Melanie Hartzog, who's a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: former deputy mayor under Deblasio, Lena Kahn, who's former Federal
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Trade Commission chare Riha Torres Springer, who was first deputy
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: mayor to Eric Adams. So it's a lot of the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: same people from de Blasio and the couple from Adams.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But people still think it'll be a little worse than Deblasio,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: only because Mom Donnie seems even crazier than Deblasio. The billionaires,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: all of those big, big, big donors who always get
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: everything wrong in every election, always backed the wrong candidates,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: always do everything wrong. You know, they were busy pushing Cuomo.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Cuomo had wooed them and won them over, and they
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: were all behind Cuomo who never had a chance. These
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: billionaires are now all over Mom Donnie, trying to make
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: peace with him. Bill Ackman tweeting out, well, you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: let me help anything I can do. I'm here for you,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you know, to Mom Donnie, he was one of the
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: biggest guys pushing Quota, one of the guys trying the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: hardest to get Curtis out of the race. I want
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to do everything I can to help you, says Ackman.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Now basically see what happens to Cuomo again. The big,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: big donors who made fortunes in their own industry but
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: are absolute dopes when it comes to politics and always
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: get it wrong. We're all over Cuomo. I think they're
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: starting to see that Cuomo was just had no shot
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: at all. Besides the fact that he left office in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: disgrace with a tremendous amount of baggage. He was totally
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: out of shape politically. He saw it in the first
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: two months of the campaign. He was just awful, completely
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: out of shape politically, just didn't know what to do.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: So a lot of people turning on Cuomo. Now, even
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: on the view they were beating up Andrew Cuomo, the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: view that kept pushing him, slobbering all over him. Adoring
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: him the view. Joy Behar said, well, besides saying bad
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: things about Cuomo, she said, the Trump endorsement was the
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: kiss of death, absolute kiss of death. Navarro Argue said, no, no,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it's Cuomo himself. Andrew Cuomo is the kiss of death.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You gotta love these democrats the way they just knee jerk,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: flip flop on everything they were. They loved Cuomo. Now
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: he's the kiss of death. Andrew Cuomo, she says. Andrew
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Cuomo was running an old nineteen seventies, an old tired campaign.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie was in the twenty first century doing modern
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: day stuff. He hit the pavement, he caught lightning in
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a bottle. He captured the imagination of people. Now even
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: President Trump get now. He was pushing Cuomo as hard
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: as he could. He was behind the scenes, trying to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: get Curtis out, behind the scenes. He was really really
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: pushing Cuomo. Now he's turned on him completely. He never
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: liked him anyway. But the one thing that drives Cuomo
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: nuts is if you call him a thug. And I
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: don't blame him, who wants to be called that, But
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: that's the one that hits a nerve with him. If
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you ever call him a thug. He's actually said that
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the people you know, and he's if you go after him,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: he'll know yell and scream at you. But the one
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: thing I say, don't call me a thug. I understand it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I understand he doesn't not want to be called a thug.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It's the one word that really gets him. So yesterday
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: President Trump speaking to a group of men and women
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: of Congress Republicans from Congress at a breakfast. Then he
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: got up and spoke about the election, and he called
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Cuomo a thug. Now, I don't think that's a coincidence.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I think I think Trump knew from different various sources
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that that's the word Cuomo hates the most. So three
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: times he called him a thug. And then at one
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: point he said the whole thing was screwed up. He
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: asked the voters to choose between a communist or a thug.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So Trump now totally totally turned off on Cuomo. Now,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: what's going to happen as far as Trump and Mom Donnie? Well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you know, Mom Donnie, in that angry victy speech, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: he's supposed to make a happy, wonderful victory speech. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie. It was just awful. It was really angry.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: President Trump talked about it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and I think he should be very nice to me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm the one that sort of has to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: approve a lot of things coming to him. So he's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: off to a bad start.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's supposed to be able to work with the government.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so torn because I would like to see the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: new mayor do well because I love New York. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: really love New York. When I left New York for Washington,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: New York was doing really well, but there were some
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: bad signs. The bad sign was a guy named the Blasio.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So the signs of the Blasio. That was the beginning,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and it was bad. This one. We're gonna look for
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a thousand years. Communism has not worked. It just communism,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: or the concept of communism has not worked. I tend
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to doubt it's going to work this time.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a very angry speech. I mean, especially
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: going after Trump.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: get to any.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Of us, you will have to get through all of.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Us, whatever that means. But he was the smiling salesman,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: sort of a guy, and then he was this angry
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: protester at the speech. Total Jekyl and Hyde on his part.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Now he has said, and he said it yesterday, he
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: will keep Jessica Tish as police commissioner. That would make
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: people happy. A lot of people think she's doing a
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: great job. But he was disagreeing with You know, the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: crime wave. You can pretty much see where it was
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: caused Andrew Cuomo. You got to give him a lot
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of credit for causing the crime wave when he pushed
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: that no bail, no jail, that cashless bail. Cromo is
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the one that pushed it. He went out and campaigned
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: for it, made speeches for it, signed it into law.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: And then you add that the no bail, no jail
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: with Cuomo closing the prisons, letting the prisoners out. Then
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: you get Alvin Bragg who won't put it but he
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: in jail. There's your crime wave. That's it. Mom. Donnie
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: for some reason has been trying to blame it on
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the pandemic. Why would the pandemic cause a crime wave?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He keeps trying to You know, Jessica
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Tish did police commission keeps explaining to him, it's this
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: cashless bail. Police officials will tell you it's the same
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: twenty five hundred criminals. They know who they are. They
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: could round him up in a couple of weeks. It's
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the same twenty five hundred committing all the crimes, nothing
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: to do with the pandemic. But Mom Donnie won't doesn't
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: believe it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: This is a decision to build on what she has
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: done in entering Eric Adams's NYPD where he stacked the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: upper echelons with corruption.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: That's a different cut, wrong cut, wrong cut. But she
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: argues with the Mom Donnie, it was caused by the
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: no bail, no jail.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: My opinion, crime went up as a result of the
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: drastic changes we made in our criminal justice laws in
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: New York State, not as a result of the pandemic.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: But he disagrees.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I have a different opinion.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: My opinion is one that looks at the spike in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: crime across the country over the course of the pandemic
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and sees similar spikes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now this other this was uh she got decided
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: whether to keep Jessica Tay. She's saying it publicly because
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: it's maybe because it sounds good, or maybe he really would.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Now we don't know that she would stay and work
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: for him. You know, a lot of people don't want
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: to work for him. The fire commissioners a great guy,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Robert Tucker, he just quit. He just announced he's leaving.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: So we don't know that she'll want to work with him. Now.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: One thing he likes about her. When she took office,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: there were a lot of corrupt not a lot, but
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: there was some corruption in the top level of the NYPD,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: some very bad corrupt people there. She had and it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: tough to come in and fire all these people, very
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: high ranking people, but she cleaned house from the got
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: rid of these corrupt people, about twenty of them or something.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: So he was happy about that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: This is a decision, and to build on what she
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: has done in entering Eric Adams's NYPD, where he stacked
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the upper echelons with corruption and incompetence, she started to
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: root that out and also reduce crime, and also to
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: create the Department of Community Safety, and also to disband
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the Strategic Response Group, and also to actually follow through
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: on the exact agenda that we've been running on.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now his agenda again that's why I don't know
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: if she'll stay. He's got these crazy ideas, things like
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the strategic response group that's for a mass shooter suddenly
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: on the scene. You need stuff like that. And he
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: wants to you know, all this stuff about send social
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: workers on domestic violence calls. It's absolutely ridiculous and the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: NYPD has tried it a dozen times over the last
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: forty years and it never, ever, ever, ever works. So anyway,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: we'll get back to the mirural race. We'll get to Hey,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: we'll walk you through. I'll explain to you step by
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: step how he got to be mayor, how he went
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: from zero to having fifty percent of the vote. It's
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: an interesting story. We'll get to that. You should see
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the people that are just gushing over Mamdannie. You think
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: that the Democrats that, well, we got no choice, we
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: got to vote Democratic. We'll vote for him now. They
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: love this guy, love this guy. There was Cynthia Nixon
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Sex and the City Star. There she was at the
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Mam Donnie victory speech, gushing all over him. Mandy Patinkin,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: go look at the video. It's up on my Twitter.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Mandy Patinkin makes a video with Mom Donnie just drooling
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: all over him. How grad he is. Keith McNally. Now,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: this is a great restaurant tour Baltasar Pastise, Minetta Tavern
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and saw some of the top finest, most expensive restaurants
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: in New York, he says McNally. McNally says, Mandannie is great.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: He's exactly what we need. He's just the person we need.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: This is going to be great. It's the dawning of
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: a wonderful new era. A guy who runs expensive elitist
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: restaurants on its a socialist. I don't know. You figure
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it out. I can't, but it's absolutely insane. Don't panic though,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: don't panic again. It could be a lot like the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Deblasio administration. That was eight years of that. We got
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: through that just fine. We got through the pandemic. We'll
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: get through this. Hey. Next week is the very final
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: week of MSNBC. It will not exist after next Friday,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a week from tomorrow. That's it for MSNBC. It will
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: continue as something else. They're calling it ms now. Yesterday
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: they gave a little tour of their new studios. Not
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: only has NBC spun the company off and gotten rid
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: of it, they've ordered them to get the NBC name
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: and the logo out of their name. They've also evicted
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: them from Rockefeller Center. They've been thrown out of the building.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: They're going to what they say it's temporary headquarters. It's
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: kind of nine thousand down from where they are in
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Rockefeller Center. The MSNBC studios Rockefeller Center are enormous, big, beautiful,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: lavish studios, beautiful green rooms. They're moving to forty third
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Street Times Square. It used to be the old New
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: York Times building. It's kind of an old, old old
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Times Square building. They'll be in there. They unveiled the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: new facilities. It's small studios, not like that big you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: that MSNBC studio when they would do that wide shot,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: how big it was. Well, it's a small studio. I
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: actually have three studios, but they're three small, small studios.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: They say it's going to be more efficient. It's going
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: to be cheaper, is what it means. Cheaper. It's going
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: to be much cheaper. So next Friday is the last day,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Friday to fifteenth, and then I guess on Saturday it'll start.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: You'll see, and it'll be in this small little studio.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It'll be called ms NOW and everything has been cut
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: from you know, they have a resources of NBC News
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: with correspondence and bureau all over the world that can
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: turn to the vast resources of NBC News. They'll be
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: losing that too, So I don't know what they'll do.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: You can make a deal with these networks to use
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: their you can be an affiliate of theirs. So they
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: may try doing that, but it's going to be a
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: whole different place. MS now. It'll start a week from
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: from Saturday. Hey, other good news, Nancy Pelosi retires. You
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: know she's now one hundred and thirty seven years old,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and said, yeah, it's time. Actually we see eighty five.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: She's eighty five years old. She retires a very very
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: very very powerful figure in the Democratic Party in Washington,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: d C. So it's a big thing that she's leaving. Also,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: give her credit. She was the greatest stock trader insiding
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and when it comes to insider trading, she was the
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Warren Buffett of insider trading. A lot of these people
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: you're allowed to do it. It's legal in Congress. You're
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: allowed to engage in insider trading. And if you're in Congress,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: you get all kinds of information ahead of the public
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: about FDA approval or test results or somebody's going to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: get a contract. You really have inside information way ahead
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: of the public, and it's legal. I don't know why
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: they haven't changed this law. Well we do, because Congress
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: would have to change it. You're allowed to engage in
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: insider trading, and that's how somebody like Mikey Cheryl doesn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: know what the hell she's doing, suddenly makes seven million
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: in a stock trade. But give Pelosi credit. She's the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Warren Buffett of insider trading, probably set the all time record,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: got herself up to I think eight hundred million with
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the insider trading, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions. Anyway,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: we'll get back to mom, Donnie. We've got a lot
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: to talk about. We'll get to that coming up, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: two one zero seven ten
