Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show. Hey, it's one
- 0:10Speaker 1: week from Election Day. It's one week from today. I'll
- 0:13Speaker 1: give you all the latest polling in a moment. And
- 0:16Speaker 1: Israel elections are today. They're taking place as we speak. It's, well,
- 0:22Speaker 1: the time difference is it's six hours later. in Israel,
- 0:28Speaker 1: normally seven, but they go off daylight saving time a
- 0:31Speaker 1: week before we do. So right now, there's a period
- 0:33Speaker 1: of a week where it's a six-hour time difference. So
- 0:37Speaker 1: it would be afternoon, getting to be late afternoon there.
- 0:41Speaker 1: The voting taking place, we'll go over that election. President
- 0:45Speaker 1: Trump all over the place, crisscrossing the nation. He goes
- 0:49Speaker 1: to Texas today, speaking for hours at rallies. Got a
- 0:53Speaker 1: little raspy. And of course, fake news went immediately to work,
- 0:58Speaker 1: declaring him dying. What's wrong with him? Something's wrong with him. Clearly,
- 1:03Speaker 1: this is he's getting he's worse than Joe Biden. He's
- 1:08Speaker 1: flying all over the country. He's been in like 12
- 1:10Speaker 1: states in five days. He is doing three hour rallies
- 1:14Speaker 1: every day. You tend to get a little raspy after that.
- 1:17Speaker 2: I feel great.
- 1:18Speaker 3: I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
- 1:22Speaker 3: something having to do with the trade in a country
- 1:27Speaker 3: and i straighten it out but i blew my stack
- 1:30Speaker 3: at these people well it sounds like there's a follow-up
- 1:33Speaker 3: there but can i ask you about venezuela you suggested
- 1:36Speaker 3: what it sounds like there's a follow-up there can i
- 1:38Speaker 3: ask you about venezuela.
- 1:39Speaker 4: You said there was a polyp i don't want to hear.
- 1:44Speaker 1: That well yeah no besides these three-hour speeches these loud
- 1:48Speaker 1: rallies he's good at yelling at people too All right. Now,
- 1:52Speaker 1: this is the big controversy in the world today. President Obama,
- 1:56Speaker 1: former President Obama, attacks Trump. He's out there stumping for
- 2:02Speaker 1: candidates now. He's in Michigan because Al-Sayed is in real
- 2:05Speaker 1: trouble with black voters. They think Obama can help there.
- 2:08Speaker 1: But I don't think people have looked at Obama's track
- 2:13Speaker 1: record as a campaigner for other people, as an endorser
- 2:17Speaker 1: for other people. It's a bad track record. Most of
- 2:20Speaker 1: the people, almost everybody he endorses or campaigns for, loses.
- 2:24Speaker 1: It happens all the time. Remember in 2024, election time,
- 2:29Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was in trouble. He went out there to
- 2:31Speaker 1: stump her. And of course, every time he does this,
- 2:35Speaker 1: the person loses. Now, the big controversy, the major controversy,
- 2:42Speaker 1: the way Trump decorates. Now, Obama went after him, making
- 2:45Speaker 1: fun of him. He said, the guy spends all his
- 2:47Speaker 1: time on Home renovation. Okay, there is... No, he doesn't
- 2:52Speaker 1: spend all his time on it. Nine to five, he's
- 2:54Speaker 1: President of the United States. Five to seven, he goes
- 2:57Speaker 1: to work with the contractors. He has really fixed up
- 3:00Speaker 1: the White House. It was in terrible shape. A lot
- 3:02Speaker 1: of stuff was really decaying, decrepit, and he fixed it. Now,
- 3:06Speaker 1: the Oval Office, that's a different story. I mean, I
- 3:10Speaker 1: don't think anybody looks at what he's done with the
- 3:11Speaker 1: Oval Office and takes the picture and gives it to
- 3:14Speaker 1: their decorator and says, I want this. I don't think
- 3:16Speaker 1: anybody wants that. It's a little... Let's be honest, it's Liberace-ish.
- 3:24Speaker 1: But it's not as bad as Obama makes it out
- 3:26Speaker 1: to be. And Obama said, looks like Saddam Hussein opened
- 3:30Speaker 1: a cheesecake factory. Well, I don't think he realized he's
- 3:34Speaker 1: an elitist, Martha's Vineyard sort of a guy. He was
- 3:38Speaker 1: putting down Cheesecake Factory, which is a big, wonderful place
- 3:41Speaker 1: to most Americans. And to most Americans, it's an upscale
- 3:45Speaker 1: sort of a place. It's not something to be demeaned.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So and who, oh, it was Besson, Scott Besson, whenever.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Scott Besson, good for him. Yesterday, he went to the
- 3:55Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory and had lunch. And as he came out,
- 3:59Speaker 1: the reporters, oh, what are you? He goes, I always
- 4:02Speaker 1: order the French dip cheeseburger. Wow, that did sound good.
- 4:06Speaker 1: He's a big Cheesecake Factory person. And he said, maybe
- 4:11Speaker 1: you elitists in the Martha's Vineyard set ought to try
- 4:14Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory. So that was the problem. Obama seemed a
- 4:18Speaker 1: little out of touch with normal America on that. But
- 4:21Speaker 1: Trump responded yesterday.
- 4:23Speaker 2: He said, this isn't a cheesecake factory, can you believe it?
- 4:26Speaker 2: Which is a very successful company. This isn't, he doesn't
- 4:30Speaker 2: like successful companies. I've taken care of the White House.
- 4:34Speaker 4: I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world.
- 4:38Speaker 2: We have to explain that to Obama.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Because he doesn't understand it because he's not a smart guy,
- 4:43Speaker 4: let me tell you.
- 4:43Speaker 2: In my opinion, he's not smart at all.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Because the way he ran the country, only a stupid
- 4:48Speaker 4: person would run the country like that.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you want to fix your house and
- 4:53Speaker 1: you bring a contractor in and you see the six
- 4:55Speaker 1: things wrong. When this professional eye comes in, he sees
- 4:58Speaker 1: like eight other things you didn't see. So Trump, a
- 5:00Speaker 1: professional builder, one of the best in America, comes into
- 5:03Speaker 1: the White House. And a lot of it was actually decrepit.
- 5:07Speaker 1: You know, when those world leaders come to visit and
- 5:10Speaker 1: Monica Crowley greets them outside and then brings them in. Well,
- 5:13Speaker 1: the first place they come into, this big lobby, it's
- 5:15Speaker 1: called the Palm Court. It was really decrepit. It was
- 5:19Speaker 1: like old linoleum floors and the walls were like peeling wallpaper.
- 5:23Speaker 1: So the first thing Trump did, he put in beautiful
- 5:26Speaker 1: marble floors and beautiful walls and fixed it up. And
- 5:29Speaker 1: then as he walked around the White House, there were
- 5:31Speaker 1: pieces of molding cracked and ornaments on the windows cracked.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And they had to be replaced. So he's got a point.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Why didn't Obama or any of these other people, Joe Biden,
- 5:44Speaker 1: he's half blind bumping into walls, he probably cracked the ornaments. But...
- 5:48Speaker 1: Why didn't Obama see this?
- 5:50Speaker 4: We have to explain to Obama that the White House
- 5:53Speaker 4: is a symbol of America.
- 5:55Speaker 2: And it has to be maintained properly. It has to
- 5:57Speaker 2: be painted.
- 5:58Speaker 4: And the exterior plaster can't be falling off the walls.
- 6:02Speaker 4: And the decorations and ornaments around the windows that are
- 6:05Speaker 4: magnificent can't be on one side of the window and
- 6:09Speaker 4: fallen off on the other side. It has to be clean.
- 6:12Speaker 4: The columns can't be broken. The bricks can't be falling
- 6:17Speaker 4: off from under the plaster. And for you to say
- 6:21Speaker 4: it's a cheesecake factory, that just shows why you were
- 6:24Speaker 4: a lousy president.
- 6:26Speaker 1: So he really went after him. And he has replaced
- 6:29Speaker 1: all this stuff. And it's not easy. You know, those
- 6:31Speaker 1: ornaments on the side, those carvings are 100 years old.
- 6:35Speaker 1: He had to have an expert come and make a
- 6:37Speaker 1: molding so they could recreate them for the other side.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Did a lot of work to fix things up. So, hey,
- 6:43Speaker 1: there's a new survey that comes out. They do this
- 6:45Speaker 1: every year of the best governors in America. It's based
- 6:49Speaker 1: on a lot of factors, economics, crime, people's life standards.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It's a lot of factors, very careful study. Guess who won?
- 7:04Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul as the worst governor in America, single worst
- 7:08Speaker 1: governor in America, came in 50th place. 50th place. Throw
- 7:13Speaker 1: her the hell out one week from today. Vote for
- 7:17Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman one week from today. Actually, don't even wait.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Go do it today. Now, there's some new polling, detailed polling,
- 7:26Speaker 1: on voter enthusiasm and voter likelihood. And here's the thing.
- 7:30Speaker 1: With Democrats in the new polling, they are much more
- 7:35Speaker 1: enthusiastic than Republicans. They're coming out in huge numbers in
- 7:41Speaker 1: the early voting, far more than Republicans. But in the polling,
- 7:48Speaker 1: it shows that when it comes to election day, Republicans
- 7:52Speaker 1: will turn out in greater numbers. They're more committed. There
- 7:56Speaker 1: could be more voting, but they've got to get out there.
- 7:59Speaker 1: So it's all about turnout. If Republicans turn out, They
- 8:04Speaker 1: will win this election if Republicans turn out. It's all
- 8:06Speaker 1: about turnout. And I keep telling you, do it now.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Do it this week. Do the early voting. There's no lines.
- 8:11Speaker 1: You can walk right in. And it's much easier. Don't
- 8:17Speaker 1: wait until Election Day because you never know. Who knows?
- 8:20Speaker 1: Election Day, it's pouring rain. You don't want to go.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Election Day, you get busy. You can't go. Do it
- 8:24Speaker 1: this week. You can do the early voting. Get to
- 8:27Speaker 1: the polls and vote. Michigan, El-Sayed, it's interesting. He's going...
- 8:34Speaker 1: He must be having trouble with his base because he's
- 8:37Speaker 1: going full anti-Semite. He's an anti-Semitic guy. He hates Jews,
- 8:42Speaker 1: just like Mom Donnie, just like a lot of Democrat candidates.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I don't know where this came from, this anti-Semitism. It
- 8:50Speaker 1: just sprung up over the last decade. Now it's out
- 8:53Speaker 1: of control. In the El-Sayed campaign, there's now an ad
- 8:57Speaker 1: running that Hitler could have made this ad. Literally, it's
- 9:02Speaker 1: the most anti-Semitic, disgusting ad. Now, it's made by an
- 9:05Speaker 1: outside PAC, and you are supposed to believe that El-Sayed
- 9:10Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it and no knowledge of it. But,
- 9:13Speaker 1: I don't know, you do the math. It's anti-Semitic. It's
- 9:17Speaker 1: a couple in a grocery store. The prices are so high,
- 9:20Speaker 1: and they blame the Jews. This is what Hitler did.
- 9:22Speaker 1: He would run these kind of ads all over the place.
- 9:25Speaker 1: about how the Jews are the reason you're paying more money,
- 9:27Speaker 1: the Jews are the problem, everything is caused by the Jews.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Listen to this ad. Honey.
- 9:32Speaker 5: What? You're going to have to put those eggs back.
- 9:35Speaker 1: They don't like eggs anymore?
- 9:36Speaker 5: No, they like eggs, but we have to set that
- 9:39Speaker 5: $ 7 aside for killing Palestinians.
- 9:43Speaker 2: What?
- 9:43Speaker 1: I mean, don't we give Israel $ 4 billion a year anyways?
- 9:46Speaker 5: Yeah, and now we're giving them another $ 26 billion. Do
- 9:51Speaker 5: you know how much that is per American taxpayer? It's
- 9:55Speaker 5: like $ 161 per person. Apparently it's costing us a lot
- 9:59Speaker 5: of money to drop bomb. on gaza all.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Right this is out and out hitler you know they
- 10:03Speaker 1: love to throw that hitler one this is hitler hitler
- 10:05Speaker 1: used to do this in speeches and his propaganda this
- 10:10Speaker 1: is what led up to the holocaust he blamed the
- 10:13Speaker 1: jews for everything every problem you have is the jews
- 10:15Speaker 1: the high prices of the jews i mean this isn't
- 10:17Speaker 1: Out-and-out Hitler Nazi crap coming from El-Sayed's side.
- 10:21Speaker 5: Might as well put the bananas back.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Why the f * * * do we have to
- 10:24Speaker 1: pay for all this?
- 10:27Speaker 5: Don't cuss at me.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Why does Mike Rogers care so much about what Israelis
- 10:32Speaker 1: want and so little about what you want?
- 10:34Speaker 2: Mike Rogers is for they-them.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Alright, it's out-and-out Hitler. It's Joe Garibalds. It's Joseph Garibalds.
- 10:45Speaker 1: This is where Al-Sayed is headed in a desperate finish
- 10:51Speaker 1: in this race. It's the most disgusting thing we've seen
- 10:54Speaker 1: in American politics in decades and decades and decades. Absolutely disgusting. Now,
- 11:01Speaker 1: you know that ad with the Ohio candidate's mother? This
- 11:06Speaker 1: is all the networks talk about. This is all the
- 11:08Speaker 1: New York Times. They're going to focus on this ad.
- 11:10Speaker 1: They're going to make this ad an issue. This ad
- 11:13Speaker 1: right here, this Hitler ad, they'll never mention it. They'll
- 11:17Speaker 1: never mention it. They'll cover it up. NBC, ABC, CBS,
- 11:21Speaker 1: The New York Times, they'll all cover up this ad. CNN,
- 11:25Speaker 1: they won't cover it. It's the most disgusting thing ever.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Speaking of CNN, you know, it's been bought by Skydance,
- 11:34Speaker 1: the big company, Paramount, CBS, Skydance. They bought Warner Brothers Discovery.
- 11:41Speaker 1: So they now own CNN, HBO, and all this stuff.
- 11:44Speaker 1: But they've got to cut costs. So they've announced an
- 11:46Speaker 1: employee buyout program. They're going to get rid of a
- 11:50Speaker 1: lot of people. A lot of people. They're looking at
- 11:55Speaker 1: anybody with over 15 years of experience. They have been
- 11:58Speaker 1: sent a buyout package. They're also demanding everybody return to work.
- 12:04Speaker 1: You've got to be in the office five days a week. Yeah,
- 12:09Speaker 1: one reason companies do that. It's a good way to
- 12:10Speaker 1: get rid of people. A lot of people will quit
- 12:12Speaker 1: over it. So it's five days a week in the office.
- 12:16Speaker 1: The new owner, David Ellison, says he's got to save.
- 12:19Speaker 1: He's got to cut $ 6 billion in costs. So they're
- 12:24Speaker 1: going to fire a lot of people. They'll buy them out,
- 12:26Speaker 1: pay them off. But a lot of people are going.
- 12:28Speaker 1: $ 6 billion. You know they owe $ 82 billion. That's the
- 12:33Speaker 1: debt on this purchase. They got $ 7. 9 billion in cash,
- 12:37Speaker 1: but they owe $ 82 billion. Hey, as I said, election
- 12:40Speaker 1: day today in Israel, it's not certain that Netanyahu will win.
- 12:44Speaker 1: There's a lot of opposition to him. The challenger, the
- 12:48Speaker 1: second place, is Gadi Eisenkot. And they got different views
- 12:53Speaker 1: on the Iran war. Eisenkot believes you can't get regime change.
- 12:58Speaker 1: It's never going to happen. He believes you got to
- 13:00Speaker 1: put tremendous economic pressure on Iran. And he will back
- 13:07Speaker 1: strikes on the nuclear program, but not an all-out return
- 13:12Speaker 1: to war. He's a former head of the Israeli Defense Forces.
- 13:15Speaker 1: He just thinks regime change, he says, is not an
- 13:18Speaker 1: achievable goal. He's called for a balance of military strikes
- 13:24Speaker 1: and diplomacy to end the war. I'll go with the
- 13:29Speaker 1: Netanyahu approach, wipe them out. Hey, this is important news.
- 13:35Speaker 1: These green scheme climate change people have proven to be
- 13:39Speaker 1: wrong every time about everything. They are always wrong on everything.
- 13:45Speaker 1: The windmills were a total failure, did more environmental harm
- 13:49Speaker 1: than just about anything. The solar panels are useless, don't
- 13:53Speaker 1: produce enough energy. You know, in Europe, parts of Europe, Germany,
- 13:56Speaker 1: other countries went totally windmill solar power for about two years,
- 14:00Speaker 1: almost two. They had to take it all down. It
- 14:02Speaker 1: totally fails. It's None of this stuff works. Remember the
- 14:08Speaker 1: paper straws? You can't have a plastic straw. You've got
- 14:11Speaker 1: to have a paper straw, and that's it. Well, the
- 14:14Speaker 1: latest detailed study shows that paper straws are worse for
- 14:18Speaker 1: the environment than the plastic ones in a lot of ways.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Traditional plastic straws had a much lower environmental footprint in
- 14:28Speaker 1: 10 different categories. Paper straws were found to generate over
- 14:33Speaker 1: six times more carcinogens than plastic straws, with double the
- 14:38Speaker 1: impact on environmental acidification. The paper straws, even the ones
- 14:47Speaker 1: from the renewable sources, you know, like sugar cane, produced
- 14:51Speaker 1: 15 times more carcinogenic factors than the regular plastic straws,
- 14:57Speaker 1: six times the acidification. And that's what the metric that
- 15:02Speaker 1: scientists use to measure changes in the ocean and all
- 15:05Speaker 1: of that. Study found the paper straws are so small
- 15:08Speaker 1: when they go into that recycling stuff, they actually don't
- 15:14Speaker 1: get recycled. Almost none of them get recycled. They evade
- 15:17Speaker 1: the recycling stuff. And also their water-resistant coatings and industrial
- 15:23Speaker 1: glues prevent them from breaking down easily, demands more energy
- 15:28Speaker 1: during the processing process. and leaves open the possibility that
- 15:32Speaker 1: microplastics could end up in the recycled pulp. So they
- 15:36Speaker 1: are a disaster, the paper struts. They are worse for
- 15:39Speaker 1: the environment than the plastic struts. This happens every time
- 15:43Speaker 1: the Green Scheme climate change Dems try something. Hey, we've
- 15:47Speaker 1: got a lot to get to this morning, a lot
- 15:49Speaker 1: to talk about. I'm here three hours now, 9 to
- 15:52Speaker 1: noon every day, 9 to noon, here on 710WOR.
