  Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show. Well, hey, it's Thursday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's practically Friday already. We've got a lot to get to.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The Yankees win last night. That's very big. They go
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: on to the next round. Very good. We'll go over that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We'll get to President Trump traveling around the country. Three
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: different states. He's campaigning. We'll get to Iraq. No, not Iran.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Iraq. We'll get to Iran, of course.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We'll get to disgusting Cornell University. We'll get to e-bikes.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Speaking of disgusting, we'll get to Andrew Cuomo coming up
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: with his new $ 9 million Hamptons mansion. Everybody wondering where
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the hell did the money come from? And anyway, a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: lot to get to. Today we'll get to Kathy Hochul
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: versus Bruce Blakeman and more. The hijacking story. of that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: flight from Dubai. Now, if you're, we just want to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: explain it because many people might be New York times readers.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: You might be a MSNBC or CNN viewers, and you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: didn't get the story. They tried to cover up parts
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of the story for you. As soon as that hijacking
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: incident took place and the terrorist in the cockpit tried
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to stab and kill the pilot and then crashed the plane.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: If you're watching, uh, The liberal networks or the New
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: York Times, they were very careful to cover all that up.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The New York Times said it was all about an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: altercation among employees. There was an altercation cockpit. And MSNBC,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: whatever they call it, has spent the last day desperately
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: trying to make excuses for why they covered up what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it was, saying, well, they can't report anything they can't confirm.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I could give you a list of 500 things that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: were absolutely false. They've reported in the last few months.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It's most people can do that. So it was a hijacking.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It was a terrorist, an extreme religious extremist. The questionable
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: part here is he was from Oman. He's Omani. And
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: why this airline had this guy as an employee, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: after nine 11, we hardened the cockpits and all those planes.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So if you're in the, passenger area. You can't get
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: into the cockpit. It's locked. As they say, it's hardened.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You can't get in there. So the plot was this
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: guy gets a job as a pilot. He's in the cockpit,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: middle of the flight, takes out a knife, stabs and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: kills the pilot. This was the plot. And then he'll
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: crash the plane. Now, there's a bunch of questions that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: come up. Believe it or not, airline crews and personnel
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and pilots are supposed to go through the same security
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: checks we all do. So how did the guy get
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the knife on there? I know they're supposed to go
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: through these security checks, but I have a feeling when
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it comes to the airline crew and pilots, they probably
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: get a little sloppy on those searches and checks. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: how did that happen? How did an airline fly Dubai?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: How did they hire a terrorist? And the guy, people
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that knew him and worked with him said, It was crazy.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He seemed crazy. His behavior was weird. He wouldn't touch
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a woman or shake hands with a woman. Always praying.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Religious extremist, nut job terrorist. Now, the real question is,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was this a lone wolf, as they say? Was this
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a guy acting alone? Or was he part of a cell?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And this is what they got to figure out. Because
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: if he's part of a group or a cell, they
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: got to find the rest of them before they try
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this again. Now, also, when a plane is coming into
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the United States or Israel, Believe it or not, our government,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the Israeli government, they get the passenger manifest ahead of time,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the list of passengers, and they go over it. The
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: computer does it. AI does it. They go over it,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and they look for anybody on that list who's a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: suspected terrorist or something. So it's just the passengers. A
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, now we're going to have
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to include the crew and the pilots on that list,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and they'll have to be checked to see who they are.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And generally... if you're Israel, they're very careful. They usually
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: only allow planes in from countries they have diplomatic relations with,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and they don't with Oman, so I'm not quite sure
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: why this plane was coming in. Here's one of the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: passengers on the flight.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We're here on the plane from Dubai. We're here on
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the plane. There was a crazy man with a knife
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: who stabbed one of the pilots. We jumped and helped
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the pilot. Friends, everything's okay. Friends, everything is okay now.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: As you can see, we're landing in Saudi Arabia. You
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: can see I'm fine.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: We'll see in a few minutes what will happen when
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: we land.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Boy, that guy is pretty calm. There was an incident.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Imagine if that was an American. People would be going nuts.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: A few things, if you were on that plane, a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: few things that you were really lucky about, really lucky about. One,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: obviously the pilot, he was Indian. He was in a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Incredible hero to survive and continue after being stabbed. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he was able to send in codes. There's a code
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you send to the tower. He was able to let
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: them know what was happening. He was able to somehow,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: with the blood coming out of him, get up and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: unlock the cabin door. The other incredible piece of luck
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: was there were a couple of pilots, off-duty pilots on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the plane. They were able to land the plane. Imagine
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: if they hadn't been there. A couple of off-duty pilots
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just happened to be on the plane. And also you're
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: lucky as President Trump tweeted out or truth socialed out,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: thank Boeing too for making incredible airplanes. That plane, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it was at 30,000 feet and suddenly when the guy
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: nosedived the plane, in like a second it plunged to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: 15,000 feet. President pointing out, give Boeing credit for making
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: planes so strong and so great that they could withstand
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: That kind of plunged the G force of it all.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So it was pretty amazing. Uh, when, uh, they, these
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: guys got off the plane, uh, the, the, the hero that, uh,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this hero who went into the, uh, cockpit and, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: stopped the, uh, lunatic choked him, got him in a chokehold, uh,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu is there to congratulate, thank everybody.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Nearly all the passengers on the flight were Israelis. During
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the flight, as they were approaching Israel, one of the
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: pilots stabbed the other pilot and apparently tried to crush
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the plane with everyone on board.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Wow. Amazing, amazing story. So you're going to have to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: see a lot more security on what airlines are allowed
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: into Israel, all that sort of stuff. Fly Dubai, I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: don't think will be coming in anymore. The idea that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: they hired a terrorist and put them in the cockpit. Scary.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Very scary. Hey, we pulled out of Iraq. No, not Iran. Iraq.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, yesterday we withdrew from Iraq. President
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Trump very happy about that. We were in Iraq 23 years.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It was 2003 we went in. President Trump yesterday saying
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we're getting the hell out. It was the orderly departure
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of coalition forces and equipment from the last air base.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: We are now officially, totally, completely out of Iraq. We
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: lost 4,500 soldiers, servicemen and women. 4,500 were killed. Compare
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that to Iran. We've only been there six months. 18
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: have been killed. We had a war, the president pointing out,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: we had a war with Venezuela that was only 148
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: minutes long. That's pretty good. 148 minutes, two hours and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes, the whole war. And as far as Iran,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: he says, we're going to have that one very quickly. Now,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: here's what's going on in Iran. First of all, the IRGC,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: this is the terrible worst part of Iran, the terrorist army,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the Israeli, Iranian Republican Guard. They've endorsed the Democrats in
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the midterms. Believe it or not, they officially put out
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a statement endorsing the Democrats, urging America to vote for
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. So I don't know if the Democrats will
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be running any ads saying the Iranian terrorists have endorsed them,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but that is the case. But here's the story with Iran.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Our intelligence, other countries' intelligence now says Iran has two
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to three weeks left. That's it. And then they're totally
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: out of money. Then they don't have a dime. They're
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: completely out of cash. Apparently, the meeting between Trump and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Xi convinced Xi to have China stop lending them money
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: or giving them anything. But Iran should be totally, completely
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: broke within three weeks. They've only got 15 million barrels
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of oil left. Now, that sounds like a lot, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it's not. That's maybe a day and a half of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: oil sales. So they could sell one more day, maybe
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: two of oil, and then that's it. And then they're
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: out of cash. So They've been, we've pretty much bankrupted them,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you know, Strait of Hormuz being closed. That's all their revenue.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They've had no revenue for six months coming in, nothing.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You know, when they came to the UN General Assembly,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: remember the Iranian president spoke, this is the first time
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: ever they couldn't afford a hotel room in Manhattan. Every
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: year when Iran comes and the leader comes and speaks
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: at the UN, they take a bunch of suites at
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the Millennium Hotel across the street. Apparently this year they
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: could not afford a hotel, so the Iranian president had
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to sleep at the embassy this year. So about two
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: weeks from now, you're going to start to see absolute
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: collapse of the government without a penny to spend. As
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I said, the president going to three states. Today he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: goes to Texas. uh, campaigning, and then it'll do two
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: more States this week. Cornell university, an absolutely disgusting place.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: A woman is now detailing the gang rape that took
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: place at Cornell in a certain fraternity. Uh, there was
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a foursome that wanted to have sex with her fraternity brothers.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: She said no to this foursome. It looks like she
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: may have been drugged because all of a sudden she
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: was passing out. Anyway, the, uh, The foursome had sex
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: with her and then apparently three more joined in. It
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: became an eightsome, this whole thing. She says she was raped. Cornell,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it looks like they covered it up initially. Campus police
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: took a statement from her but did nothing, absolutely nothing. Now,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the other thing is it did apparently at some point
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: she went to the district attorney, Tompkins County District Attorney.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He did not bring charges at the time. Well, now
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that it's big news, he's bringing charges. He said he
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: reopened the case with new details. Nobody knows what the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: new details are, but he should have been on this
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: from the beginning. As we mentioned yesterday, a lot of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: parents who had their students applying to Cornell have withdrawn
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: those applications, hundreds of applications withdrawn. Cornell, absolutely disgusting place.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: This awful, awful gang rape takes place in this fraternity.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And this is the same Cornell with the vicious anti-Semitism
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: going on. Last week, these kids chanting from the river
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to the sea. Just a horrible place, Cornell. It's in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: New York, and Governor Hochul is going after them right now.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: What happened to this young college student at Cornell University
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: is nothing short of horrifying and shocking. And I believe
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: that she deserves justice and there must be accountability. That
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: is why I called for an outside independent counsel to
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: conduct an investigation of what exactly transpired.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: There you go. Kathy Hochul is all over this. Until
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the election. If she wins re-election, then you'll never hear
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: about it again from her. But we hope Bruce Blakeman
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is going to win. the election, but Hochul pretending, acting, well,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: maybe she will, but she's acting like she's really going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to take this on, this issue.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: People need to know the truth. And I think it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: important for the public, for the victim, her family, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: the university community to know that their university did everything
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: that they were supposed to do. And if that was
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: not the case, why? What happened? How do you get
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: it right the next time? But also, what are the consequences?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: The next time? What next time? So she's also suing
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the victim. You're calling her Jane Doe. She's suing a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: fraternity house, the school, everything. Lawsuit says she was drugged, assaulted,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and gang raped on the campus. Oh, let's talk about
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: something happier. The Yankees won last night. What was the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: first game? Something like 9-0. Last night it was like 9-2.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: They just overwhelmed the Red Sox. You know, the Red
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Sox are very big on... the computer stuff. You know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in the good old days, you had a crusty old
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: manager sitting there on the bench. You had a Casey Stangle,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a Billy Martin, Joe Torrey, you know, watching, studying. They
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: kind of knew when to take the picture out. They
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: knew who to send up. They knew that they could tell.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, analytics came in, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: now it's all computerized. This is for some teams. Yankees
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: still old school. But apparently the Red Sox, relying on computers...
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You take all the data about each batter, feed it
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in the computer, every statistic, everything of the pitcher, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the computer figures out who should pitch, who should be
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: taken out of the game, when to put in another pitch.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But the Red Sox and their computer kind of screwed up.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The Yankees, just old-fashioned baseball smarts, won the game. I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: hated the announcers in this game. Who the hell were
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: these announcers? They weren't great. But here's one of the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: great moments of the game last night.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: If he were to go large here, this place would
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: absolutely go bonkers beyond belief.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: So Cody Bellinger can get the dagger out if he
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: can do something big here.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Pitch. Swung on. Deep drive.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Right field.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Got a chance.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: And there it goes!
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: A three-run homer!
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger! 8-1 Yankees!
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Where the hell did they get these announcers?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: It's a home run! Terrible.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Awful. There's got to be a... We no longer have
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: John Sterling. There's no Phil Rizzuto or Bill White. There's no...
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Where's Bob Costas? He's still around, isn't he? There's no
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Kurt Gowdy anymore. Who's the great one from Los Angeles?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I'm blanking out on his name. Oh, you know who
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I mean. The great... It's got to be a modern-day
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: equivalent somewhere out there. Michael Kay is still around, right?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: But these are the NBC announcers. So the Yankees move
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: on to the next round. Hey, we'll get to Andrew Cuomo.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Nobody can figure this out. This Andrew Cuomo, who apparently
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: hates being in New York City, can't stand being in
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: New York City when he was governor and before that
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: when he was attorney general. Remember, he always lived in Westchester.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Always lived in Westchester. He did have to, when he
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: was running for mayor... pretend he lived in New York.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think he got an apartment. I think he
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: used his daughter's apartment. You have to pretend you're living
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: in New York City to run for mayor. So he
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: had to move into an apartment for a while. As
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: soon as the voters rejected him, he got the hell
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: out of here. Now he just bought a $ 9 million
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: compound in the Hamptons. Now he is a big car guy.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: He loves cars. Loves driving, loves cars. So if that's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the case, if you're a car guy, you can't really
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: live in New York. You got to Live somewhere where
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you can drive your cars around, where you got a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: big garage for all of them. So anyway, we'll get
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to this. His $ 9 million compound. He wanted to be
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: near the brother. And as Curtis, I heard Curtis say,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: it's a bunch of houses. It looks like the Corleone compound.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that coming up and a lot more.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It's Mark Simone here. Nine to noon every day. Nine
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to noon every day here on 710WOR.
