- 0:09Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on WOR.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Well, hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 0:17Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Let's go to Jacqueline in Brooklyn. Jacqueline, how are you doing?
- 0:31Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I'm doing fine, and I hope you're doing well also.
- 0:35Speaker 3: You were talking earlier in the show about how these
- 0:39Speaker 3: fake polls work and the demographics that they specifically target.
- 0:44Speaker 3: And you had a lady that called in yesterday. She
- 0:46Speaker 3: was an older lady, like myself, and she said that
- 0:50Speaker 3: she's never been polled.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Okay, but that doesn't matter. They're not supposed to poll you.
- 0:56Speaker 2: You're supposed to find somebody like you that they poll.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Yeah, but what they've done, they've gotten away from the
- 1:02Speaker 3: traditional telephone call polling. And in order to get their
- 1:06Speaker 3: demographic target group, they're going after people online. I have
- 1:11Speaker 3: been watching movies online, and as of last year's mayoral election,
- 1:16Speaker 3: I can't tell you how I was bombarded every 10,
- 1:21Speaker 3: 15 minutes with these ads from Omdani. And that's the
- 1:26Speaker 3: group that they're going after.
- 1:27Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. This doesn't work that way.
- 1:30Speaker 2: What the polling companies do, they do everything. They do
- 1:32Speaker 2: cell phones. They do online. They even do some landlines.
- 1:36Speaker 2: They do every type of stuff. The way they rig
- 1:39Speaker 2: it is, I hate to keep explaining this over and
- 1:42Speaker 2: over and over again, but there's two kinds of polls.
- 1:45Speaker 2: There's the real polls. Those cost a fortune. That's what
- 1:48Speaker 2: the candidates use. There's the public polls, which are very cheap.
- 1:51Speaker 2: They're about $ 3, 000, $ 4, 000 a poll. And they use every
- 1:56Speaker 2: method of reaching people, but they deliberately reach the wrong people.
- 2:00Speaker 2: You're supposed to use likely voters. They don't do that.
- 2:05Speaker 2: They use sometimes registered voters, which means anybody. But most
- 2:09Speaker 2: of the time, it'll just say adults, which means whoever
- 2:12Speaker 2: they want. They could go in the faculty lounge at
- 2:15Speaker 2: Columbia and do it there. That's one way they rig it.
- 2:19Speaker 2: In their defense, they can't afford to do likely voters.
- 2:22Speaker 2: It costs a lot of money. to pinpoint the likely voters.
- 2:26Speaker 2: So that's one reason that real polls are very expensive.
- 2:30Speaker 2: But so they don't use the right group. They use
- 2:33Speaker 2: adults instead of likely voters. They deliberately make Republicans way
- 2:38Speaker 2: too low in the sample. They usually put them about 23, 24%.
- 2:42Speaker 2: They should be 38%. So they under sample Republicans right there.
- 2:47Speaker 2: That's like a seven, eight point bias right there. And
- 2:52Speaker 2: then They use the wrong demographics deliberately. Like they'll just
- 2:55Speaker 2: use people in their 20s or something like that. So
- 2:59Speaker 2: that's the way they do it. And they do it deliberately.
- 3:02Speaker 2: It's to suppress turnout. And there have been a few
- 3:05Speaker 2: studies of all these polls. And then they'll find that
- 3:09Speaker 2: they were wrong and that 97% of the time they
- 3:12Speaker 2: were wrong. It was in favor of Democrats they were wrong. So,
- 3:16Speaker 2: I mean, they're very, very slanted. But, again, they cost $ 3, 000,
- 3:19Speaker 2: $ 4, 000 a poll. The real polls that are deadly accurate,
- 3:23Speaker 2: campaigns use them. Those can cost a million dollars a month.
- 3:27Speaker 2: And they're not public, although we have John McLaughlin, probably
- 3:31Speaker 2: the best of all of them. We have him on,
- 3:33Speaker 2: and sometimes he'll tell us what's going on in them.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Let's go to Brian in Long Island. Brian, how are
- 3:39Speaker 2: you doing?
- 3:40Speaker 4: Hey, Mark.
- 3:41Speaker 1: How are you?
- 3:42Speaker 4: Um... i'm talking about the uh... ice shooting yesterday i
- 3:45Speaker 4: was listening to the copy our news and the girl
- 3:48Speaker 4: says the mail once i sat at the city because
- 3:51Speaker 4: they shot a man but it's just classic fake news
- 3:55Speaker 4: if you don't if you don't know any better you
- 3:56Speaker 4: think it was just a guy she leaves out of
- 3:58Speaker 4: the report that the guys are criminal alien either gang
- 4:01Speaker 4: member he's got a lot of expensive rap sheet try
- 4:04Speaker 4: to run them down with the car Let me.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Just clear up some of this. We don't know that
- 4:10Speaker 2: he's a gang member. They're saying he's gang affiliated. We
- 4:14Speaker 2: don't quite know what that means. It's not an extensive
- 4:17Speaker 2: rap sheet. He's got a few things on that rap sheet.
- 4:19Speaker 2: But he is a criminal. And if this is all true,
- 4:23Speaker 2: they haven't released the body cam footage yet. They've confirmed
- 4:26Speaker 2: it exists. But if it is true what they're saying,
- 4:29Speaker 2: that he tried to run them over, they are totally
- 4:31Speaker 2: justified in shooting him. Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy,
- 4:36Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 4:38Speaker 1: Morning, Mark.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Yes, Kathy. Where are you going? I hear a car noise.
- 4:43Speaker 4: I know.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I'm driving.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I want to do.
- 4:45Speaker 2: A quickie with you. Oh, I'll be right there.
- 4:48Speaker 4: Okay, thanks. How you doing?
- 4:50Speaker 1: Okay, look, you guys covered that story a couple of
- 4:53Speaker 1: days ago about Social Security.
- 4:55Speaker 4: You know, Trump was going to send out, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 4: payments to everybody, and I kind.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Of blew it off.
- 5:00Speaker 4: And I'm like, sure.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Guess what?
- 5:02Speaker 3: I got it. And it really helped this week.
- 5:05Speaker 4: I'm just so laughing about the whole thing.
- 5:07Speaker 2: How much is it?
- 5:09Speaker 4: I mean, it's $ 100. Oh, okay. Exactly.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And it was that extra money left over. I don't
- 5:17Speaker 2: know if Doge.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Found it, which would really be the feather in my cap.
- 5:20Speaker 3: But I just I really profoundly.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Want to say it was like it was like a
- 5:26Speaker 4: little gift.
- 5:26Speaker 3: It was great.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Well, it's good to hear. Good to hear. President keeping
- 5:30Speaker 2: his word on giving money back to voters. Let's go
- 5:32Speaker 2: to Stan in Astoria. Stan, how are you doing?
- 5:37Speaker 4: Hi, Mark.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Mark, I was wondering, who do you feel more sorry for,
- 5:40Speaker 1: Gayle King having to work with Nora O'Donnell or Nora
- 5:43Speaker 1: O'Donnell having to work with Gayle King?
- 5:45Speaker 2: Oh, that's a no-brainer. Nora O'Donnell, obviously. They're both kind
- 5:49Speaker 2: of useless. In real life, Nora O'Donnell is a very
- 5:52Speaker 2: nice woman, very nice person. Gayle King is the most
- 5:55Speaker 2: awful vulture in real life. You don't want to be
- 5:58Speaker 2: anywhere near Gayle King.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Mark, as long as you've been following the morning news shows,
- 6:04Speaker 1: have you ever known CBS News, the morning show that
- 6:08Speaker 1: they have, ever to be out of third place, out
- 6:10Speaker 1: of a three-team race?
- 6:11Speaker 2: No, never. Never. It's always in last place. It's always
- 6:16Speaker 2: going to be in last place. It's a total disaster.
- 6:19Speaker 2: It was a good question, Stan. Thanks for calling. They
- 6:21Speaker 2: should get rid of it. You know, after 40 years
- 6:24Speaker 2: of last place, CBS, stop doing a morning show. You've
- 6:27Speaker 2: got plenty of morning shows. Do something else. Bring back
- 6:31Speaker 2: Captain Kangaroo. That was more successful. Anybody remember Captain Kangaroo?
- 6:37Speaker 2: If this were 50 years ago, you'd be watching Captain Kangaroo, Mr.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Green Jeans, Bunny Rabbit, and the Grandfather Clock. Remember that? Anyway, hey,
- 6:50Speaker 2: when we come back, the dean himself, the greatest political consultant,
- 6:54Speaker 2: campaign manager of all, Ed Rollins, we'll talk to him next.
- 7:00Speaker 2: On 710WOR.
