• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This is The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's the middle of the week. It's 13 days
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: until election night. 13 days from now, election night. It's
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: going to be a big, big, big night. We'll see
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: what happens. A lot is going on all over the country.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: The Senate looks very good for Republicans. The House could
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: go either way. Behind the scenes, every real pollster behind
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the scenes tells you they cannot see a clear winner here.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It's just deadlocked. The final two weeks is going to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: be a big, big push. President Trump, who's got a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: lot of money in those Republican funds there, is about
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to give $ 400 million into these campaigns. He's plowing $ 400
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: million into the campaigns. Now, little Mike Bloomberg has announced
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: he'll put $ 80 million towards the Democratic campaigns. Obviously, Trump's
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: $ 400 million, only to Republicans. Bloomberg will be given $ 80
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: million to Democrats. Bloomberg, a lifelong Democrat, who you'll remember
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: when he wanted to be mayor, he pretended to be
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a Republican for a while, but he's a lifelong Democrat,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: supporter of all kinds of crazy stuff, common sense stuff,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: but some crazy stuff. He can go A little in
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: both sides there. But he's jumping in the race. Now,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: there's certain people that kept quiet about 2028, but it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: pretty obvious they're running now. One is J.B. Pritzker, the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: big fat Ralph Cramden governor of Illinois. Although he's on
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: those shots now. He's slimming down. He's got a ways
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to go, but he's slimming down. He's a very wealthy guy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: He's a billionaire. He's worth $ 4 billion. He is spending
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. Pritzker is throwing a lot of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: money around, about $ 40 million altogether, and especially for black
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and Hispanic candidates. Now, why would that be? Well, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: wants to run in 2028, and he's studied the whole process,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and he sees that you got to win over a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: few people like Clyburn, Senator Clyburn of South Carolina. Remember,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: he's the one who got Joe Biden a nomination. You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: when they all got to South Carolina, everybody got chased
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: out of the race and Biden was anointed. So he's
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: trying to win over Clyburn and some other black and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Hispanic leaders. He thinks that's the key to 2028. Clyburn,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: very grateful, but he said, he said to be taken seriously,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he is taken seriously, but he said they won't be
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: swayed by campaign contributions alone. Although it's a big help.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: But he's clearly in the race. Looks like Mark Kelly
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: wants to get in the race. That's that awful, nasty,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: vicious senator from Arizona. He is obviously running around right now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He's campaigning in 20 states. If you want to run
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: in two years, you run around now pretending you're there campaigning.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: for candidates, but you're actually campaigning for yourself. He said,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: when asked, is he running for president, said he's getting
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: closer to making a decision. Well, it's being cagey, but
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: when you're on a plane flying to 20 different places,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious what you're up to. Hey, Texas, they've
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: registered a lot of people. They can now have almost
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: 20 million people registered to vote. That breaks the all-time record.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Registration up. But again, too close to the call. Nobody
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: knows what will happen. Bruce Blakeman campaigning yesterday with George Pataki.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: That'll be a big help. They were up at the border,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the Pennsylvania border, because Pennsylvania allows fracking, and things are
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: booming there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Booming.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Their energy costs are low because they've got all that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: natural gas. We have just as much, but because of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Cuomo and Hochul, we're not allowed to frack. So your
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: energy bill is four times more than it would be
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. The economy... is nothing like Pennsylvania's booming economy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Blakeman will bring back fracking.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: We could start fracking tomorrow on the southern tier in
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: New York. We've got one of the largest natural gas
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: reserves in the world. Increase our energy supply by a
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: tremendous level and cut our utility bills in half.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now Pataki out there campaigning with him, proudly campaigning
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: with him. Pataki, the last Republican governor and really the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: last popular governor We've ever had. Cuomo was not a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: popular governor. Oh, he had a moment there during the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: pandemic with his briefings because everybody was locked up in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: their house and terrified. So they watched them every day.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Soon as they were allowed out, they stopped watching his briefings.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Ratings plunged and he had to stop doing them. But then,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of course, Cuomo left in disgrace, in total disgrace, fled
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Albany with the police chasing him. So you can't say
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it was a successful governorship. blakeman on hokal.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: So let's start off with 48 utility rate hikes in
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the last four years that's one a month and the
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: reason why our utility bills are so high is because
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: she's completely wedded to green energy it's a scam we're
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: not going to be able to provide enough energy with
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: wind turbines in the solar farms in upstate new york
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: that are under snow you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Can make the case it's a scam because uh It
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: sounds good on paper, windmills and solar and all this stuff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: But every time it's tried, it totally bombs. It produces
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: very little energy. It does more environmental damage than the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: gasoline does. It is ridiculously expensive. It's 10 times the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: cost of normal electricity. Europe tried it. Germany tried it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: A lot of European countries went totally green. Wind and solar.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: For a year or two. Finally, about a year ago,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: had to take it all down because it doesn't work.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: In fact, it does just the opposite of what you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: think it's going to do. So that's the scam part
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of it. Hokel on Blakeman.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Picture his vision for New York. Hyperscale data centers all
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: over New York State. Smokestacks building out of fossil fuel
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: generated power plants, as well as oil rigs and fracking
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: rigs everywhere.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I think he was talking about fracking. There's no smoke.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: There's no smokestacks. Fracking, it's underground. It's the cleanest energy
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: in the world. Data centers in New York? Oh, my God.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Could you even imagine that? Well, I don't know if
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: she knows this. We have 35 data centers already in
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: New York. You know, we have 19 data centers in Manhattan.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They've been there for years. The smaller ones, but we
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: have data centers in Manhattan. We've had them for a while.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And again, those data centers... the big boogeyman there. You're
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: supposed to be terrified of the data center. They're getting
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: better and better as far as electricity use, water. They
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: figured out how to solve those problems. The only problem
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: is the noise. They're figuring that out. They'll make quieter turbines.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And every year, the data centers will get smaller, just
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: like the computers did. You know, back in 1975, that
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: IBM computer was like the size of a basketball court. Now,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's the size of my phone. In fact, my phone
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: has more power than that computer did. So the data
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: centers will also get smaller and smaller. President Trump every
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: day flying to different states. Today he goes to South
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Carolina to campaign. That's Darlene Graham, Lindsey Graham's sister. Very
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: nice woman, not a great candidate. But he'll try to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: pull her across the finish line. J.D. Vance back in
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Ohio today. Vivek Ramaswamy, you remember him? He's running for
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: governor of Ohio. And it's a strange race, very strange race.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: He needs a lot of help. This is like the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: fourth time Vance has had to go to Ohio to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: help out. So the strangest thing, I don't think we
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: have it here. We don't have the audio. But he's
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: running against this woman who's a little weird. And I
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: don't know how this even happened. He got the woman's mother,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the Democratic candidate, her mother. recorded an ad for Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And it was a pretty vicious ad. The mother looks
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: into the camera and says, my daughter's a liar. She's
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: been lying all her life. She's lying about her childhood.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: She said she grew up in a tent. She said
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that she's lying about that. She's always been a liar.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Don't vote for her. This is Amy Acton, the Democratic
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: candidate's mother. So that's pretty powerful stuff. But there's a
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: lot of backlash on this. Obviously, Democrats are furious. The
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: media is furious. Everybody's all over Vivek Ramaswamy for doing
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: such an ad. They think it's tasteless. They think family
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: is off limits. But it is her mother. And in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the ad, the mother says, my daughter needs help. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: she can't help you if she needs help herself. People
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: can change. But first, they have to tell the truth.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And my daughter still isn't doing that. Don't vote for her.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become governor. Yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it sounds very odd. It is crossing all kinds of lines.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But if the mother wanted to do this ad, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: don't know. There's a lot of controversy about the ad.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Ramaswamy's campaign admitting it is their ad and they did
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: pay for it. But that could cause a lot of backlash.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: We'll see. President Trump, you know, a lot of controversy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: He's been so friendly lately with Putin, with Russia. He's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: been saying nice things about Putin. It's already gotten some benefit.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: There's that teacher that Russia has been holding hostage for
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: four years now. They captured this American teacher. They've been
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: holding him hostage for four years. He was released yesterday.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: No exchange of hostages or anything. He was just released.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: So some good has come from praising Putin, although it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: bothering a lot of people. Most people aren't even paying
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: attention to that part of anything. But Trump on the Ukraine.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Ukraine has to want to settle this war. Zelensky has
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: to want to settle this war. And if he doesn't,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be a very bad thing. Look,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: we have given tremendous amounts to Ukraine.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: We've got nothing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Back other than high diesel. We have given probably, possibly
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: more money to Ukraine than almost anybody over the years.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: Hundreds of billions of dollars. We've got nothing back. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: the American taxpayers are tired of it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Now, you know how Trump works. He does carrot first,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: then the stick. He always tries the carrot first. With Putin,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: he's trying the carrot. Now, if that doesn't work, we'll
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: get the stick. He already did the carrot phase with Zelensky,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and Zelensky didn't respond well, so now they're on the stick. Zelensky...
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: They want to have him sit down and talk.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: If the issues about Ukraine, our future, it can be
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: acceptable only when we are at the table of negotiations.
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: It's absolutely clear. We are thankful that intelligence works. Now,
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: I'm speaking about early warning, what is very important for
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: our people.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: For children.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He's a little annoying to listen to.
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But he's talking about the Starlink system. They have the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: military version called Space Shield. It was throttled down for
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a day or two. The Wall Street Journal, not the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: most reliable newspaper. The Wall Street Journal now claiming it
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: was definitely Elon Musk. Personally, Elon Musk, he personally did it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But again, the Wall Street Journal has gone pretty much
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: rogue for the last couple of years. What did Scott
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Besson say? It's more of a features magazine. They should
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: call it the Main Street Journal. Again, not most trusted
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: paper anymore. So they're the ones pinning it all on Musk.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know what evidence they have. They use the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: usual stupid people familiar with the matter. Well, when you
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: quote people familiar with the matter, they're wrong about 80%
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: of the time. Zelensky on Russia.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: We want the Americans to take these ideas to the Russians.
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: And one of the important ideas is to move to
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: a trilateral Potential trend that's on meeting all the leaders.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's the annoying to listen to. Anyway, hey, there's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: a big debate tonight. El-Sayed and Rogers. This is another debate.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: In every state, they have two, three debates in a
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: governor's race or a Senate race. It's only here in
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: New York where Kathy Hochul refuses that. She only allowed
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: one debate. She refused the normal two or three debates.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Only one debate. And she demanded it beyond this little
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: tiny thing that nobody sees. New York won. which is
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: also very, very biased left-wing. So she demanded, that's the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: only thing she'll do, and that's all she did. Turned
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: down Channel 2, Channel 4, Channel 7, refused to do it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: So pretty, pretty embarrassing. But Al-Sayed, you remember, he was
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: asked in that last debate, who's a bigger enemy of,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: who's a bigger threat to America, Iran or Israel? And
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't answer. He said, it's a stupid question. It's
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: different now. Now he's pretty much coming out openly anti-Israel.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Listen to El Sayed.
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: The question of Israel's existence is not a question. I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: not going to play this gotcha game about whether or
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: not it has a right to exist. The question ultimately
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: is about whether or not we want a politics that dignifies...
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: You're not going to play the gotcha game, but you're
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: not going to say you think Israel has.
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: A right to exist.
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: Well, my question, you know, Casey, I think the question
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: we all ought to ask is, does everybody have equal
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: That's Jewish, Israelis, and Palestinians. All right, that's not the clip.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: We don't have the right clip. The other thing he
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: said Israel is not a friend. It's not an ally.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: He came right out and said it. Right out and said,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Israel is not a friend of the United States. They
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: are not an ally. You can criticize Israel or something specific,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: but that was pretty bold. He said, they're not a U.S.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Ally.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: It's time for us to realize that. An ally that
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn't
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: be fighting is not an ally. And he goes on
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: and on about how bad Israel is. Time to realize
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: they're not our friend. Obviously, that's a preposterous statement. And,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: of course, Donald Trump doesn't get pushed into anything. Nobody's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: pushing him around. But it's our ally. It's been our
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: greatest ally. And I think that's been going on for
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: about 60, 70 years. So it's a crazy thing for
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: him to say. Mamdani now really pushing al-Sayed.
• 15:16
  Speaker 12: When you think about Dr. al-Sayed's campaign campaign, I often
• 15:20
  Speaker 12: go back to the way that he describes it. Money
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: out of politics, money in your pocket, Medicare for all.
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: Those are concerns that ring true for Michiganders. They're also
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: concerns that ring true for New Yorkers. And I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: that his victory and the victory of Democrats across this
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: country is of critical importance to our city.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, first of all, When you think about Dr. El-Sayed's...
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: He's not exactly a doctor. He's not allowed... If he
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: treated a patient, he'd be arrested. It'd be illegal for
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: him to treat. He's not a physician. He's not... You know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: so when it comes to Oz, they call him Mr.
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: Oz.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: He actually is a doctor, a famed heart surgeon, was
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: a doctor for decades in a hospital. But him, they
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: call Mr.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Oz.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: But it's Dr. El-Sayed, who's not really a doctor. Katie
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Zakaria is more of a lawyer than this guy is
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: a doctor. So Mamdani really pushing that now, which should
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: tell you all you need to know about Mamdani and El-Sayed. Hey,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to. I'm here three
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: hours every day, nine to noon, three hours every day.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here on 710WOR. Mark Simone. Only on 710WOR. Well, hey,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: here's some hotel tips for you. Now, when it comes
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to the minibar, you're always afraid of that minibar. It
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: could cost you a fortune in that minibar. You know
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the strange thing about a hotel? You're in a hotel room.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: They give you everything for free. Here's free shampoo. Here's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: free conditioner. Here's free soap. Everything is free. But you
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: touch one peanut, $ 40. That's where they rob you in
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: that minibar. So most people don't even, you know, take
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: anything out of the minibar, but many of them, especially
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: in the finer hotels, if you pick up something from
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the minibar, take it out and look at it for
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: too long and put it back, you could get charged
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: for it. Why? Because the advanced minibars, they've got sensors
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: under everything, like weight sensors that can tell when you
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: took something out. If you take it up for a second,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it's not going to go off, but if you take
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: it and hold it out too long, it could set
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: off the sensor and you could get billed for it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Let's see, tip number two, people are worried about everything
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: being clean. They do clean the sheets. They do wash
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the sheets, the pillowcases, all that stuff. But you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: at the foot of the bed, they have that bed runner,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you know, across the bottom of the bed. That is never,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: ever cleaned, ever. So if you're worried about sanitary stuff,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: take that off the bed and put that somewhere. Also,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to leave a tip for the maid. When
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: you leave, when you check out three days later, you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: leave a little tip in the room for the maid. However,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: it's often a different maid every day cleaning the room.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So the one who cleaned it for two days might
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: not get. So you're actually, it says you're supposed to
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: tip every day. I'm not going to do that every day.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to do that every day. Also, you put
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: a do not disturb sign up and you just leave
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: it up. Well, they actually do go in your room
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: if it's up too long, like over 24 hours. They
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: will go in your room. Just a wellness check just
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to make sure everything's okay in there. Hey, also, if
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: you forget your charger or the cable to charge it with,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: just go down to the front desk. A lot of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: people do this now. So at every hotel front desk,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: they got a ton of chargers and cables that will
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: lend you or probably rent you. Also, when you're checking in,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you're checking in at the hotel. And they check in
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and everything. And then now they're going to tell you
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: what room number. They don't tell you out loud. They
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: write it on this card and they hand you the card.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Why don't they say it out loud? That's policy because
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: somebody standing close by might overhear what room you're in.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Just for security reasons, they never, ever say it out loud. Now,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: President Trump, this is a brilliant idea. You know, you
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: got this fraud all over the place, this Medicaid daycare fraud.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: You saw it in Minnesota where it was like 100
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: million in fraud. The government will pay you if you're
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: doing Medicaid or daycare. And many of these centers are
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: just Somalian fraud in Minnesota. Here in Queens, it's all
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: kinds of people doing it. It's just fraud. And they've unconfirmed. Now,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Nick Shirley is this kid. He's just a kid with
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: a camera. And he became a reporter, this kid with
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: a camera. And he's uncovered hundreds and hundreds of millions
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of dollars in fraud. And 60 Minutes, with an army
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of cameras and journalists, won't even go near this. The
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: real journalists don't go near it. The fake news avoids it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: But this kid with his camera has been amazing. So
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: President Trump invited him to the White House, and President
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Trump announced, because maybe other people want to do what
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: he's doing, it's easy to find the fraud if it's
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: a daycare center getting $ 10 million in reimbursement, and you
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: show up, and it's an empty storefront with nobody in it,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and it never had anybody in it. How could it
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: be a daycare center? There's no kids. There's no anything. Sometimes...
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: They show up at the address that's listed for the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: thing that's getting all the reimbursement. And it turns out
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: it's an empty apartment. It's not even a business. So
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: President Trump has announced he'll pay a commission for anybody
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: uncovering this stuff. If you uncover one of these frauds,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you'll get a 1% commission. So let's say Nick Shirley,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: he's probably uncovered $ 200 million in this fraud, minimum, maybe more,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: $ 200 million. So the commission on that would be $ 2
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: million for him. So even if you find most of
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: these fraud things, it turns out they're getting $ 10 million
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: in government reimbursement. The commission on that would be $ 10 million.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: It would be $ 100, 000. That's a big reward. So there's
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: now going to be a 1% commission if you can
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: uncover any of these fraud things. And again, it's easy
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to do. There's records where you can find out who's
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: getting this government reimbursement. You show up, and if there's
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: nothing there, nobody there, It's clearly fraud. It's not really
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: a daycare center. It's not really Medicaid center. And it
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: happens in Minnesota. It's all over the place. They believe
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: that Waltz and a lot of politicians, Omar, maybe they
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: weren't directly involved, but they were directly involved in looking
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the other way and letting it happen. Omar is in
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: real trouble, Elon Omar. They've got her on a lot
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of things. It looks like she lied, out and out lied,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on her birth certificate and other things, changing her age
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: to defraud her way into the U.S. This is the allegation,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: but I hear there's a lot of evidence and they
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: will get her. And it also looks like she did
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: marry her brother. That's the other word coming out, that
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: they've got her DNA and they will be able to
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: prove that. So it's going to go badly for Omar.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: She's going to have a lot of trouble, President Trump.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Could she be deported?
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, she could be.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: She could also go to jail.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, she could also go to jail. You know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: they keep talking about deportation. Now, she could go to jail.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: This is just my opinion. I think she's a sick,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: very dishonest person, but who hates our country.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, you could try, well, this is a Trump
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: law theory. He's going after Zipo. Well, this Omar investigation
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: was actually started by the Biden administration. The evidence came
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: to the Biden administration of all this. They began the investigation.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: It's the Biden administration, so they moved very slow on that. But,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you know, they were so busy trying to get Trump.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: But this is a Biden investigation into Omar. But it
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: looks like they got her. So it should be pretty
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: bad for her. Do you know what the latest Instagram
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: TikTok idiotic craze is? Remember the one, what was the
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: one with cinnamon? Where you pour cinnamon down your throat? Okay,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: this is hard to believe. The latest one is the
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: fire challenge. It's going viral. The fire challenge is you
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: set yourself on fire and see how fast you can
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: put it out. Obviously, you've got to be a complete
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: moron to do this, but they're just kids. They're dumb kids.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: New Orleans is having a big problem. Here's one boy
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: nine years old who did it. You pour something, gasoline
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: or some kind of alcohol, all over yourself and then
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: set yourself ablaze. This nine-year-old, serious damage. Seventy percent of
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: his body was burned. But this fire challenge, the dumbest,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: most dangerous of all of this, all these dumb TikTok crazes.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: But it's going on. Parents, schools, law enforcement trying to
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: stop this. Hey, we got a lot to get to.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Lots coming up. And we'll take some calls, too. It's
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here. Nine to noon every day. Three hours
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: every day. Nine to noon on 710WOR. Welcome back to
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the Mark Simone Show.
• 24:31
  Speaker 13: Live from the WOR LifeVac Studios.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, price of oil dropping. There was this big
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: spike in oil. It shot up to like $ 107 a barrel.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: It's $ 97 a barrel now. Dropped $ 10 a barrel in
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: just two days. Actually, at the gas pumps, it's down.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Average national gas price now $ 4. 26, down a little. France,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you'll notice the rioting has subsided, greatly, greatly subsided. don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: take that as a sign that Macron has done anything.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I know there's curfews and all that. It's not so
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: much that. The rioting is a weekend activity. It's more
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: on the weekends. So this coming weekend, they're all scheduled
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: to come back. Although Macron's saying that he will not
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: allow that stuff to happen again this weekend, that he
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: will be ready for it. Now, this is Macron. Who knows? Macron,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: not the toughest leader in the world. If this were another, well, Italy,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: they started to get this in Italy. They brought out
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the military and quashed it right away. Macron has not
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: brought in the military. And if he did, it's the
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: French military. It's like one notch above a Boy Scout troop.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what they're going to do. But
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: he claims they will be prevented from doing it this weekend.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: We'll see. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: That soundbite you played of Mandani endorsing El-Sayed is the
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: perfect example or a great example of the difference between
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: the two parties. There was no hesitance. There was no buts.
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: There was no equivocation in his endorsement. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: fighting amongst themselves, and they're going to just do what
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: they're told to do. Republicans don't understand that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: No, they understand. Listen, you're right. It's a different, Republicans
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: are different. I mean, both parties stink. They're both awful.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: But Republicans, for the most part, they're country club types. They,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: you know, do a little politics. But with the Democrats,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: and you know a lot of Democrats, it's full-time, 24-7 warfare.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're always, they're on the front lines fighting away. Republicans,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: they fight, they don't fight, they stop, they don't.
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: And every win, big or small, counts. And, you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: the Republicans think, oh, we'll debate and discuss and I'll
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: dazzle them with my incredible argument, but they don't win.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: And it's like, that's the problem. You know, Democrats will
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: take any win. You know, getting rid of Katie Zachariah
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: was a win. As minute as it is, is a win.
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: It's something they can gloat about and brag about and take,
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: As I say, it's warfare for them. They're fighting 24-7, bombing,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you know, attacking 24-7. Yeah, that's a good point, Mike.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Hey, by the way, with that Katie Zachariah,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: there's now the New York Times and some others saying
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Trump's war on women. He's been firing a lot of women.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Look at the women he's fired, and they go through
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: all these women that he's fired. Well, they forget to
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: mention they were the ones calling for each of these
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: women to be fired. They were the ones demanding Zachariah
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: be fired. They're the ones going after Pam Bondi and
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Kristi Noem and all these women. Kimberly Guilfoyle was the
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: press chasing them out, demanding they be fired. And then
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: as soon as they're fired, why is he firing all
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: these women? It's the double standard Democrats are famous for.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Brooklyn. Mike, how you doing?
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark.
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: Mark, I'm just calling.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: How's Joe Bartlett doing? We haven't heard from him in
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: a while.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, Joe Bartlett's fine. I think he's on the morning
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: show now and then. We've got to call him. We
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: haven't called him in a while. He's in Hilton Head.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Where is that? South Carolina. That's South Carolina, right? Yeah,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: he's down there. He plays golf every day. Joe Bartlett
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: doing great. Well, thanks for asking, Mike. Let's go to
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: David in Queens. David, how are you doing?
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mark. Good morning.
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: Mark, Liz Hochul has her minions in the state assembly
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: touting the Home Energy Assistance Program. The people out there
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: should realize that the pennies they would give back to
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: you on this program is money that they stole from you. Mark,
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: it's time for the Mr. Ed impersonator to be shown
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: the door.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Who's that? Oh, now we got a guest?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Who's the Mr. Ed impersonator? Oh, is he talking about Hochul?
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: Maybe. I don't know.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's state legislature. I'm looking for the story here.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: You know, there's... They've identified a bunch of state legislators
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: who have not shown up in a year. They haven't been.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: to now apparently you can vote without showing up in
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: person you do not have to physically show up to
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: vote so they voted but they have not shown up
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: in a year and it's pretty bad you know um
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: it's not a full-time job if you're in the state
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: uh legislature in albany if you're in the state uh
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Senate or the Assembly, it's not a full-time job. They
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: all do something else for a living. But you're supposed
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: to show up once in a while. So some of
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: them have not shown up in a year ever. You
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: know that comedian Carrot Top? Carrot Top, you know, that
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I always thought awful comedian. He's the guy. He was
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in the news a couple weeks ago. He tried to
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: kill himself. And terrible. But he's back. He's recovered. And,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: you know, he has a, what they call a residency
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, a regular, uh, you know, he's got
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: his own showroom. He appears all the time. And, uh,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: he came back, did his first show and, uh, you know, he's,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: he's a lot of props. He does props. He's one
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: of those stupid prop comedians, but he came out and
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: he said, uh, just to be serious for a moment,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you all know what happened. And, uh, I'm not a,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: you know, usually talking up here, but, uh, I have
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: to say something. And I was wondering, how do I
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: explain this? What do I do? How do I come back?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: And he said, I'm a prop comedian. So I came
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: up with the right prop. And then he reaches in
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the box and pulls out a noose. It got a
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: huge laugh. It was very funny there. Now, you may
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: be saying to yourself, how does a guy like that
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: have his own residency in Las Vegas? It's not a big,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: big room with 2,000 seats. But he's got his own
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: showroom with a couple hundred seats. He rents it. It's
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: what they call a rental. You may not realize this.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Most of the shows in Las Vegas are what they
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: call rentals. In other words, the performer rents the room
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: from the hotel, sells his own tickets. The hotel doesn't
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: have anything to do with it except they just charge rent.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Most of these shows, even some of the big ones
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: in the hotels, they're renting the room. In show business,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: they call it four walling the room, which means you're
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: not getting paid. You got to sell your own tickets.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: But that's the new, Las Vegas is in real trouble.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Business is way down in Las Vegas. It's in real trouble.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: It's really bad right now. So that's one way they're
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: making money. They're just renting the room. A lot of
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: these guys, even, you know, Rich Little is still performing there.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Rich Little, it's a rental. He rents a room, does
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: his own show, promotes it himself, sells his own tickets.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Even Wayne Newton the last couple of years, that was
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: a rental. He would rent the room. promoted himself, sell
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: his own tickets. So that's the state of Las Vegas
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: right now. You know, you go back a few years ago,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: they used to pay performers, overpay them like crazy. You know,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: they'd pay somebody $ 400, 000 a week. And they'd take a
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: loss on the show, but they'd make it back in
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the casino. Well, those days are gone. Las Vegas is
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: in real financial trouble. So they're renting out the rooms
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: to performers. Business is way down. And they don't have
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: any more of the stuff. You know, they always had
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the free buffets. All of that stuff is gone now.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: In fact, as business went down, they made a huge mistake.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: They kept raising the prices, causing business to drop even more.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: You know, now it's like 25 bucks for a cup
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: of coffee in Las Vegas. A lot of people avoiding
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: the place now. Hey, we got a lot to get to.

  Speaker 2: Back right after the news, Mark Simone here on 710WOR.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 34:53
  Speaker 13: New York, Mark Simone.
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: 710WOR.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the middle of the week. It's 13 days
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: until the election. That's right. 13 days. Election day. Make
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: sure you get out and vote. Early voting in New
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: York starts this weekend. So if you can, do it
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Vote Saturday or Sunday. Get out and vote
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: for Bruce Blakeman. And the attorney general's race looks pretty good.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Normally it's tough for anybody. running against a Democrat attorney general,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: but this is the worst attorney general, the most biased, slanted, lawfare,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: making up fake cases against Donald Trump. But the opponent,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: with a name nobody can pronounce, Sarita Karatumimedi, you'll see
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: her name on the ballot. She's the Republican candidate for
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: attorney general. Make sure you vote for her. Make sure
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you vote for her. Get rid of Letitia James. would
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: be a big help for New York. But again, you
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: can start voting Saturday in New York. Connecticut, I think
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you've already got your early voting going on, but it's
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: 13 days from today. So there's been a big breakthrough
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: with Russia. As you know, President Trump, for the last
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: week or so, has been very nice to Putin. He's
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: been flattering him. He's been nice. He's been using the carrot,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: not the stick, and getting criticism for it, a lot
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: of criticism, but it's paying off. He got this, Russia
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: has released this American teacher they've been holding for about
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: four years. Biden claimed he was trying to get the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: guy out, but never did anything to get him out.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: It's a terrible situation. This teacher being held in Russia.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Trump got him released. Yesterday he was released with no conditions.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: It was not a prisoner swap. He asked Putin to
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: release this guy and Putin did it. He's been released.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: But here's the big breakthrough. It's just breaking now. that
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Putin has agreed to sit down with Zelensky and the U.S.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: for trilateral talks. This has never happened before with the
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Russia-Ukraine war. But Putin has now agreed he will sit
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: down with the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Americans. We'll all meet,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: trilateral talks. They'll get this done somehow. I don't know
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: if they'll end the war. But they'll get the talks done.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: They'll get in a room and all start talking. That's
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: a big, big breakthrough. And again, Trump very good at
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: using the carrot, then the stick, then the carrot, then
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: the stick. So the problem is Zelensky is not the
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: greatest in a room when it comes to negotiating. As
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: you've seen, just sitting with President Trump, he managed to
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: get himself into 10 different fights in that first meeting.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: But Putin, a much, although totally evil and disgusting president,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: a much cagier, slier guy than Zelensky. Although Zelensky's done
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: a great job coming up with weapons, and as a general,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: he's been great in this war. But there will be
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: trilateral talks. That's good news. The other breaking news this morning,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Brad Lander, the extremely annoying Brad Lander, is being held
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: by Israel. He was in Israel yesterday. Now, that doesn't
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: make any sense to begin with because there's nobody that
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: hates Israel more than Brad Lander. There's nobody that's denounced
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Israel more than Brad Lander. He's attacked them, accusing them
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: of genocide. He's totally opposed to Israel. He's the most
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: anti-Israel guy in the world. What the hell is he
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: doing in Israel? Well, he was there to help the
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Palestinians or the Gazans or supposedly helping them plant olives.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Who knows what he's doing there? He's there for Photo opportunity.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: He's there to publicize himself. But for some reason, he's
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: been detained. We'll find out exactly why. Now, the fact
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: that Israel is detaining Brad Lander, don't worry. After they're
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: alone with this guy for about two hours, they'll release him.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: They'll put him on a plane and get him the
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: hell out of there. Nobody wants this guy around. Very slimy,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: annoying politician, Brad Lander. The other thing, Katie Zakaria has... re-emerged.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: You know, she left the White House last week. She's
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: back in California, and she finally reemerged. You'll see the
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: pictures all over the place. She's reemerged with a little
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: tiny halter top on and these tight little sweatpants. And
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: looks like one of those Instagram influencers trying to get attention.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: So the pictures of her trying to look hot outside
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: in this little tight outfit. That's how she wanted to reemerge.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the right thing. You know,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: you saw her as the press secretary with those very
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: formal business suits, those banker type of business suits. Now
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: she's running around in the trashy little gym clothes trying
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: to get attention. So I don't know. I mean, what
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: could she do? How do you reemerge? You suddenly show
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: up working at a soup kitchen trying to help people.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Is that the way to reemerge? That's always pretty phony.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: You know, these people that every Thanksgiving I know a
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: lot of people do this. Thanksgiving, they go to the
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: soup kitchen to help feed the poor. And they put
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: up pictures of themselves working at the soup kitchen on Thanksgiving.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: It sounds good, but it's not helping anybody, you know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: because for the next 364 days of the year, they're
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: not at the soup kitchen. You know, if you said,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go do this every weekend, that might help.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: But a couple hours once a year, you're not helping anybody.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: But Katie Zakaria, I don't know what she's going to do. Uh,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: she was an occasional guest on Fox. I guess maybe
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: she could do that. She could try to get on
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: somewhere else, Newsmax or someplace else. She could try to
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: get her own. She's not a host. She can't do
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: her own show, but maybe be a regular there. Who knows? Uh,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Elon Omar has put out a video begging for cash,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: begging for money. Uh, she's in real trouble, real serious
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: legal trouble, real legal trouble. So she's going to have
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: a big problem and they're really going to go after
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: her and the charges look pretty serious. So she's going
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: to need a lot of money to fight this legal battle.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: She could very easily get deported. They could easily prove
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: it looks like according to sources on the evidence that
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: she's not a citizen that would remove her from Congress.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: All good. All good. Um, Now, you know this woman
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: in Michigan, Alyssa Slotkin, who's in, Democrats love it, but
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: with everybody else, she's in hot water because she came
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: out with this crazy talk about they should start investigating, indicting,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: going after anybody who supports Trump. I mean, this is insane.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: This is like beyond McCarthyism. In other words, anybody, they're
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: trying to discourage young people, especially college students who get
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: out of college, From becoming Republicans or becoming Trump supporters.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: So she's threatening to arrest them all, indict them all.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the worst Soviet Stalinist craziest crap,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: but she's pushing this. And she's pretty much sticking to
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: her guns.
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: I want to look at these signature cases and not
• 42:31
  Speaker 15: just focus on the president, but on the people who
• 42:34
  Speaker 15: enabled him. I want young people coming out of school
• 42:37
  Speaker 15: to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like,
• 42:39
  Speaker 15: that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity. I want
• 42:42
  Speaker 15: them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself
• 42:45
  Speaker 15: a ton of problems that I don't want.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she basically wants to threaten any young person that
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: if you go to help Trump or become a Trump supporter,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: you could be arrested, you could be indicted. It's insane.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: It's un-American. It's evil, President Trump.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: Slotkin said that there should be prosecutions in order to
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: scare people from going into politics.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: That's a Democrat, and that's.
• 43:11
  Speaker 16: What they do.
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: That's all they're good at. And you know what?
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: That's why they're getting their asses kicked.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Well. But she keeps sticking to her guns on that.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: And of course, the fake news backs her up completely.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Kimberly Guilfoyle. She is headed back to Florida. She'll be
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: living in Palm Beach. Kimberly Guilfoyle has finally listed herself
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: now as a speaker. They got these speakers bureaus, you know,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: where if you want a big speaker, a famous speaker
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: or expert speaker, interesting speaker, you go to a speakers
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: bureau and you go to their websites and they tell you,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Got each person, some of them very famous, some of
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: them not so famous, and has how much their fee is.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: So she's listed herself as $ 100, 000 per appearance. But then
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: if you look down at the fine print there, it
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: says ranging from $ 50, 000 to $ 100, 000, available for corporate appearances,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: speaking engagements, virtual events, fireside chats, meet and greets, etc.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Then they have to tell you where the speaker's coming
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: from because you'll have to pay the travel expenses. So
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: down there in the fine print says she'll be coming
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: from West Palm Beach Airport. So far, we don't know
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: of any bookings yet for her, but I could see that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You have to kind of say what
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: you're going to say in the speech. I mean, I
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: do a lot of speeches. You can book me, but
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: it'll say these are his topics. So she hasn't listed
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: any of that. And so far we know of nobody
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: actually booking her. But they're going after her for this,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: but they all do this. Mike Pompeo, anybody that was
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: in the cabinet, anybody that was well-known in politics, all
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: these people, everybody you see on Fox, people you see
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: on MS now, they're all listed with these speakers' bureaus.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: You can book all of them for an event. But
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: the fake news going after this saying it's the Trump orbit,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: why they're cashing in. They all do this. Everybody that
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: worked for Biden, all the former press secretaries, cabinet, they're
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: all available as speakers. Everybody does it. Not unusual. Hey,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: they're cleaning up the Social Security rolls. You know, there's
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of fraud everywhere, not just voter fraud, Social
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Security fraud. So now that the Trump administration is running it,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: they decided to clean up the rolls and they've officially
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: started this will help clean up a lot of stuff.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: You know, there's 17 million in the Social Security base
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: that they believe are actually dead, listed as alive. So
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: they're clearing up the death dates. There are 25 million
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: records that had missing citizenship information. So they're cleaning all
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: this up. And they're currently in the process of correcting
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: an additional 9 million records with inaccurate status on them.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Nobody's ever bothered to do this before, correct all this stuff,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: but it's a great step, and they'll actually do it. Hey,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: speaking of Katie Zakaria, by the way, remember she had
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: all this flack because she said she was a lawyer.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: It turned out she never passed the bar. Her excuse was,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: as long as you have a law degree and you're
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: working in a law firm, you can say you're a lawyer.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: If you haven't passed the bar, you can't say you're
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: an attorney, and everybody laughed at that. Well, it turns
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: out if you go to the American Bar Association, the
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: rules are different state by state. But the American Bar
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Association last year put out an article and the American
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Bar Association said an attorney is someone who passed the
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: bar and has been admitted to practice law in a jurisdiction.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: A lawyer is someone who received the same legal training
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: but has not been admitted to practice law. So according
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: to the American Bar Association, Katie Zakaria is actually correct.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Look at this. Kathy Hochul getting desperate, very desperate, because
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Blakeman caught up to her. They're now pretty much even.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: They're within the margin of error in the real polls.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: She's now pushing to announce a chip-making plant in Utica.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: She's going to try to get a chip-making plant. There's
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: a company called Solid Gym. It's the U.S. arm of
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: a South Korean chip giant. if you don't want AI,
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: why would you want a chip-making plant? I don't know,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: but she's desperate, and she'll do anything that sounds good,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: looks good. So she's trying to get this big chip-making
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: plant to Ithaca. She's looking for votes up there. Albany
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: insiders insist, well, actually, they point out, no deal's been finalized.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: So she could make a deal, according to Albany insiders.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: She could make this deal and announce it, And it
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: sounds great. Everybody's thrilled up there that this has come.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: But then she can hand it off to the feds
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: and then all the red tape will come in and
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: it'll never get done. They call it the Albany two-step.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: So she can prop it up and then hand it
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: to the feds and making sure it never happens. So
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: that's the kind of stuff these people do. You got
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: to be very, very wary of them. President Trump going
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: to South Carolina today. be campaigning for Darlene Graham. That's
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: a tough race. Kamala Harris is announced. She's going on
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: a five-state midterm campaign swing. Does this help anybody? The
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: word salad, babbling yo-yo, Kamala Harris, drunk all day. Is
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: this going to help anybody? Well, I'm looking at where
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: they're sending her. They're not sending her to battleground states.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: She'll be in Nevada, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: She'll be attacking President Trump for rising costs. You've got
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: to give them a lot of credit, these Democrats. Their
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: costs were much higher than Trump's. Their gas costs, their inflation,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: everything was much higher than Trump. But they campaign against
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: him based on consequences. give him credit that takes a
• 49:22

• 49:37
  Speaker 2: New York. Mark Simone.

  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Lou in Chicago. Lou,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 49:53
  Speaker 14: Hi, Mark. Great show.
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: Thanks.
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: Mark, I was just wondering, you know what's happening in
• 50:01
  Speaker 14: France right now? I kind of think that Mayor Daley,
• 50:05
  Speaker 14: the old man, had the right idea. That, you know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 14: he told him, if you were messing around in Grant Park,
• 50:12
  Speaker 14: shoot to kill. And I don't want to sound like
• 50:16
  Speaker 14: a goofball, but what do you think of that?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that was the old Mayor Daley. He was
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: also the most corrupt guy in the world. Dead people voting.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: There's all kinds of shenanigans with that guy. But there's
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: a nice balance in between... modern day stuff and Mayor
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Daley stuff. You're right. They need to send out the
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: military and they need to put this down. They should
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: have done it the first night. Good point. Thanks for calling.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Andrew in Florida. Andrew, how are you doing?
• 50:47
  Speaker 17: I'm doing great, Mark. Thanks so much for taking my call.
• 50:50
  Speaker 17: I remember you from substituting for Rush. You were great.
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: He was great.
• 50:55
  Speaker 17: And you're great now. I appreciate everything you do.
• 50:57
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 50:58
  Speaker 9: Well, thanks.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Here comes the buzzer.
• 51:00
  Speaker 17: Well, I'm calling about something else, but I just wanted
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: to throw in that Mamdani, if you just reverse the
• 51:08
  Speaker 17: M and the D in the middle, it's Mad Manny.
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: Nobody ever says that. I'm the only one that's thought
• 51:14
  Speaker 17: of it.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: It's not that good. That's why no one ever says it.
• 51:17
  Speaker 17: Okay, well, thank you for that. But hey, you're an
• 51:20
  Speaker 17: expert on Jack Parr and Johnny Carson and all that,
• 51:24
  Speaker 17: and I'm really calling you about... My father, his name
• 51:28
  Speaker 17: was George Jason, and he was on the Jack Parr
• 51:31
  Speaker 17: show many times. And I'm asking you if you perhaps
• 51:35
  Speaker 17: remember him. He was a musician, magician, and comedian. And
• 51:44
  Speaker 17: he was going to be on the Ed Sullivan show,
• 51:45
  Speaker 17: but he died in 1959.
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 51:50
  Speaker 17: You wouldn't remember him, would you?
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: No. George Jason. No, but there were a lot of
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: guys back then who were big on all the talk shows.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: that nobody would know today. There's a million comedians. Everybody
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: saw them in every show. There was Toadie Fields and
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Milt Kamen and London Lee and all these guys. In
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: today's world, nobody would know them. Same thing with singers.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: But that was the good old days of The Tonight Show.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Those good old days in New York and the nightclubs. Andrew,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Let's go to Marge in Manhattan. Marge,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 52:20
  Speaker 18: Hi, I'm here. I just wanted to talk about Medicare
• 52:23
  Speaker 18: for All.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: Nobody seems to explain that Medicare is not free for seniors.
• 52:29
  Speaker 18: We start paying for Medicare the minute we work. It
• 52:34
  Speaker 18: comes out of our taxes. And that's for Medicare A.
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: If you haven't.
• 52:39
  Speaker 18: Paid in enough quarters, you're not eligible for Medicare.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: Do you have Medicare?
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Do you have Medicare?
• 52:47
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Does it cover everything? Is it good?
• 52:51
  Speaker 18: It's a very nice program, but it's not free.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: No, I understand that. When you have Medicare, do you
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: pay anything? Do you pay a monthly fee or anything?
• 52:59
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, you do?
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: You pay a month.
• 53:02
  Speaker 18: It depends on the plan. If you go for traditional
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: Medicare A and B, you have to buy a secondary
• 53:08
  Speaker 18: that could cost $ 400 a month.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Well, all right. Well, thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: the problem is it's like Obamacare. It sounded great on paper.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: In reality, it was a disaster for a lot of people.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Not the right coverage. A lot of things not covered.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: It was costing them way too much. Remember that if
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Everybody
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: lost their doctor immediately. The last thing you want is
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: your health care totally in the hands of government bureaucrats.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: No competition allowed. That's the last thing you want. Let's
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: go to Jamie in Columbia, South Carolina, North Carolina.
• 53:41
  Speaker 16: Mark, I'm in Columbus, Ohio.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, Columbus, Ohio. All right. I'll talk slower.
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
• 53:50
  Speaker 16: Oh, I just, great show like usual. I want to
• 53:54
  Speaker 16: ask you about that Steve Hilton governor race in California.
• 53:58
  Speaker 16: If he has a chance, are they going to do
• 54:01
  Speaker 16: the Spencer Pratt thing where they.
• 54:03
  Speaker 17: Take a month to count the votes?
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 54:06
  Speaker 16: And in the long run, it doesn't work out?
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: That's a very good question. Yes. They're going to do
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: that to him. And that's the problem. Let's say he
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: wins by three points. Not enough. The cheating could be seven,
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: eight points. Yeah, if he wins, they'll just say, we
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: haven't counted yet. It's going to take a while to count.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Absentee ballots are out there. They'll play those shenanigans. That's
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: the other thing. Election night is 13 days away. And
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: you think, wow, that's going to be exciting election night.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of these races, especially California, you may be
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: waiting two weeks to get the results. And Hilton is
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: doing well. He should be the governor. But you got
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: to win by like 15 points to overcome the cheating
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: in California. Some states, Connecticut, they say you got to
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: win by five or six points to overcome the cheating.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: But California, real bad. Let's go to Oscar in New Jersey. Oscar,
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 55:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: You sound like Joe Biden.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: What are you trying to say?
• 55:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah, who do you think is a bigger liar, a
• 55:10
  Speaker 14: Somali pirate or you? I don't know.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: It's pretty much a tie, I would say. Somali pirate.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you saw a Somali pirate?
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in New Jersey. Bill, how you doing?
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: Listen, Mark, I got a question.
• 55:27
  Speaker 14: What happened to the Iran war? How are you?
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: What happened to what?
• 55:30
  Speaker 9: Is it over? Did we win?
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: What happened to what? Wait, you're cutting out. Say it again.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: What happened to what?
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry. The Iranian war.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, the war in Iran? It's on hold right now.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: You know, when they say this war has been dragging
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: on for eight months, the war is like a total
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: of eight days. I mean, most of the time they
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: go to war for a day. Then they take a
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: month off and back to war. This has been the
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: longest break. How long has this been? Six, eight weeks,
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: I think. It's pretty much to the midterms. Once the
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: midterms are over, from what I hear, they're going to
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: finish Iran off with MOABs. That's the mother of all bombs.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: That's the single biggest bomb outside of the nuclear bomb. Apparently,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon has been putting together target packages. And apparently,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: you heard that phone call. There was a great phone
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: call between Trump and Bibi Netanyahu. And they both, you
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: could hear it in the undertone of what they were saying.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: By the way, Bibi Netanyahu is up for re-election. And
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: his election is next week. Next week, the Israeli elections.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: The week after, the U.S. elections. And the week after.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: They will finish off the Iran war. You could hear
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: in the conversation that when Trump said, you're the guy
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: I want by my side. And Netanyahu said, yes, and
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: we've got a job to finish. They're just waiting for
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: the election to be over. And then it will resume
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: on a level never seen before. And that should finish
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: it off. Hey, coming up next, we hope, we'll be
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: talking to Steve Moore, the great economist Steve Moore. Talk
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: about the economy, gas prices, all sorts of stuff. and
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: how it looks. We'll get to all of that coming
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: up on 710WOR.
• 57:14
  Speaker 13: It's the Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Well, with us now, the brilliant economist Steve Moore. You
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: should get his book, The Trump Economic Miracle. If you
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: haven't read that, it's good to, you'll learn a lot
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: from that, The Trump Economic Miracle. And he runs the
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Committee to Unleash Prosperity Every day they put out the
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: best daily briefing and analysis. It's free. It'll come right
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: to your email. You can go sign up at UnleashProsperity.com. UnleashProsperity.com.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Steve Moore, how are you doing?
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: Hey, Mark.
• 57:49
  Speaker 19: Doing actually very well, thank you. I think the economy
• 57:52
  Speaker 19: is doing a lot better than the media is portraying
• 57:54
  Speaker 19: it to be, that's for sure, and feeling very upbeat
• 57:57
  Speaker 19: about the direction of things.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute. I'm looking at the New York Times.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Economy in crisis, in crisis.
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: Is that true? Did I really say that?
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: No, but you know what I mean.
• 58:08
  Speaker 19: No, I mean, that's what a lot of the headlines
• 58:10
  Speaker 19: have been. But, you know, you look at what these statistics,
• 58:14
  Speaker 19: you know, and I'm an economist, so I look at,
• 58:16
  Speaker 19: you know, what's coming out every day. We've got a
• 58:17
  Speaker 19: record booming stock market. We've got a record amount of
• 58:20
  Speaker 19: investment capital coming into the United States.
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: We're like a magnet.
• 58:23
  Speaker 19: We have the lowest number of people collecting unemployment insurance
• 58:27
  Speaker 19: in something like 30 years. We have the lowest poverty
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: rate probably ever in the history of the United States.
• 58:34
  Speaker 19: You know, we're producing more oil and gas than any
• 58:38
  Speaker 19: time before in the history of the country, and so
• 58:40
  Speaker 19: we're now an exporter. And by the way, I did
• 58:44
  Speaker 19: read in the Wall Street Journal today that the Middle
• 58:47
  Speaker 19: East and the Strait of Hormuz has record amount of
• 58:50
  Speaker 19: oil flowing now. So those are all positive signs, and
• 58:54
  Speaker 19: yet people are in a bad mood.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see that oil has dropped $ 10 a barrel
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: in just 36 hours, which is good news.
• 58:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Um, Hey, explain this, uh, the airlines are a mess,
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: United Airlines, no exception. The CEO of United Airlines is
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: calling for a national wealth tax. What is he thinking?
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: How's it going to help him?
• 59:20
  Speaker 19: What's his name again? I forget what his name is,
• 59:23
  Speaker 19: but he gave a speech the other day in an
• 59:27
  Speaker 19: interview where he said we should have a national wealth tax, which,
• 59:31
  Speaker 19: by the way, every country that's tried that has torpedoed
• 59:36
  Speaker 19: their economy.
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: And then he said, how about this one, Mark?
• 59:39
  Speaker 19: He said that we should have an inheritance tax of
• 59:42
  Speaker 19: up to 100%.
• 59:44
  Speaker 7: So here's the thing. I mean, think about this.
• 59:46
  Speaker 19: If you were to tell rich people you can't pass
• 59:51
  Speaker 19: on any of your money to your kids– everybody would
• 59:56
  Speaker 19: just spend.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Spend, spend.
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: It would be like, you know, you would spend every
• 59:59
  Speaker 7: penny you have before the government get a hold of it.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 14: It's the dumbest thing.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 19: I've ever heard at a hundred. Hasn't this guy ever
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 19: heard of the laugher curve? If you tax something, you
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 19: get less of it. And if you tax it too high,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 19: you lose revenue. It wouldn't collect a single dime of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 19: inheritance tax because nobody would have an inheritance.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Has this guy ever heard of go woke, go
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: broke guy, go, go, go talk to Jaguar, go talk
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: to Budweiser. Uh, What is he thinking?
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: Well, think about it this way. Why do people build
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 19: up a business over their lifetime? People want to leave
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 19: a legacy for their children.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: That's the American way.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 19: My dad continued to work until he was 75 years
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 19: old and worked and worked and put his blood and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 19: sweat and tears into that business for 40, 50 years.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 19: The government said, oh, by the way, you can't pass
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 19: any of that on to your kids. Now, it turns
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 19: out none of us actually took over that business, but
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 19: you know, this is the American way. You know, you
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 19: build up a farm, you build up a ranch, you
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 19: build up a business, and then you.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: Get to pass that on to your kids.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 19: And that's outrageous to think of. By the way, in
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 19: the Communist Manifesto, the first, one of the, you know,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 19: first commandments of the Communist Manifesto is to eliminate inheritance.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Now, what else?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: By the way, I'm not flying United.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 19: You know, if I have a choice You know, like
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 19: if I have to go to fly to Chicago, I
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 19: can fly to Chicago on American or United. I'm so
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 19: pissed off at this guy. I'm going on American.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: He's not getting my business anymore.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: Everybody avoid United for a while until the CEO goes. Hey,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: President Trump, there's a lot of stuff that never gets reported,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: but you report it in your daily hotline. Like as
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: a result of the border being closed, drug deaths are
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: way down. That's not been reported.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: It's an amazing statistic.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 19: I mean, I was shocked when I saw them. Fentanyl
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 19: deaths are down. Remember, we had a fentanyl crisis three.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: Four years ago.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, of course.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 19: Now, fentanyl has almost fallen, you know, it's fallen like 80%.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 19: And deaths from cocaine, deaths from other major, you know, drug,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 19: dangerous drugs have fallen very substantially. But the big one
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 19: is fentanyl. And fentanyl was coming in through the border, remember?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 19: And we've, as a result of, you know, sealing up
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 19: the border, we have cut those fentanyl. I mean, I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 19: think there were like 60,000 deaths a year. from fentanyl
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 19: under Biden. Now it's down to like 10,000, which is
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 19: still too many, but that's a big decline.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, down 80%. Now, had it gone up 3%, the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: media would be covering that story day and night.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 19: Of course it would.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: It would.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 19: And so this is a real victory for Trump. I mean,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 19: he is saving lives by keeping all these dangerous poisons
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 19: out of our country.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, one thing I don't like about the Trump administration,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: this thing about we'll buy some businesses, we'll invest in companies.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: There's no good that would come of that, is there?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's two problems with that.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 19: You know, when I first came to Washington in the mid-' 80s,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 19: I actually worked for one year in the Reagan administration,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 19: believe it or not. And I was working on privatization,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 19: where we were actually looking at how the federal government
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 19: could sell assets, like federal lands and the post office
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 19: and things like that, and sell these assets and collect
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 19: money so we could use that to reduce our debt.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 19: And so, you know, and we did some of that.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 19: We didn't do near enough of it. But now we
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 19: have the opposite. When you have an institution like the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 19: United States government that's $ 40 trillion in debt, why is
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 19: it buying assets? It should be selling assets. We should
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 19: be selling, you know, things and making money so that
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 19: we can help reduce our debt burden.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: So I don't like this. That's point number one.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 19: And just philosophically, I guess that's it. But the second
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 19: reason I'm against it is, you know, what the government's
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 19: trying to do here is pick winners and losers. But
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 19: guess what? The government's not very good at that. They're
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: not very good at picking winners and losers. In fact,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 19: what they're really good at is picking losers.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 7: Remember Solyndra? Remember that one?
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 19: Remember, what was it, Fisker Auto and all these companies
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 19: that I think it was the Obama administration invested in.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 19: Like every one of them went bankrupt. So I don't
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 19: think these people running government who can't balance their own
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 19: books are going to be very good at figuring out
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 19: what companies to invest in.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: Do you?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: No, it's crazy.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 19: I'd rather go to my broker rather than have the
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 19: government tell me where to invest.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, you were talking about this a while back. The
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: flat tax is the smartest, most brilliant thing. Everybody pays 17%.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: It's fair. But you can never do it because selling
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: those loopholes and deductions is what Congress does for a living.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: So How could you ever get it passed?
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 19: It's really tough because it really is. Washington makes its living.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: We get rich.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 19: Three of the five richest counties in America are in
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 19: and around Washington, D.C. We get rich because you send
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 19: us all your money.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 19: Thank you for doing that, Mark. You're so nice to
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 19: send us all your money. You send us a dollar
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 19: and we send you 80 cents back. It's a really
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 19: great gambit we've got. Anyway, one of the ways we
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 19: make a lot of money in Washington and create whole
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 19: industries is is by the whole tax preparation industry. And
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 19: we've got armies of tax lawyers out there. When I
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 19: get to the bottom line of my tax return every year,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 19: and mine isn't especially complicated, but it's a little complicated,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 19: you have to attest to the fact that the information
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 19: you've given to the United States government is valid and true.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 19: And I signed that, but I don't know if it is.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 19: I mean, I do my best, but I have no
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 19: idea whether I paid the right amount because the whole
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 19: thing is so damn confusing. Why does the tax system
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 19: have to be so confusing? With a flat tax, you
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 19: literally have a postcard return. You've got seven lines on
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 19: the return. How much money did you make? You get
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 19: a deduction on your kids. You get just a few deductions,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 19: and then you pay a small flat rate on that.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 19: And it doesn't matter whether you're Bill Gates or Steve Moore,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 19: you're going to pay the same rate, but he's going
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 19: to pay a hundred times more tax than I do
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 19: because he has a hundred times more money than I do.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 7: That's a fair system.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 19: And I bet most Americans love it, but everybody in
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 19: Washington hates it because it takes power away from the,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 19: from the, you know, the congressmen and lobbyists. And, and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 19: by the way, if you know who was one of
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 19: the instigators of the flat tax was our friend.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: Steve Forbes.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Should have been elected on it, but yeah.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 19: Now, By the way, when he ran for president and
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 19: started talking about the flat tax, oh, my God, Washington
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 19: went into conniptions.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: They're like, oh, my God, stop this man. He's dangerous.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Besides the fact that it's the easiest, most logical, fair
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: thing in the world, what about people saying, well, we'll
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: get less revenue that way?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 19: Oh, no, you get so much more because now there's
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 19: no way to stash away and hide your money. So
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 19: what we've created are these tax shelters, and who takes
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 19: advantage of the tax shelters? Rich people with fancy pants lawyers.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 19: So now if you're somebody like a Bill Gates, you're
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 19: going to.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: Pay your fair share, but you're going to pay a
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: lower rate.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 19: So your incentive to continue to invest in the economy
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 19: and so on goes up. I mean, if you imagine
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 19: we had a 17% tax rate in this country, I mean,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 19: we would be a vacuum cleaner of capital from all
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 19: over the world. Nobody could possibly compete with the United States.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 19: So the only problem is we'd have to find a
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 19: job for all those IRS agents and all the tax accountants.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and those congressmen would have to find something else
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: to sell for a donation.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 9: Right, exactly.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve Moore, great stuff. And that daily briefing you
• 1:07:42

  Speaker 2: Well, you had that big spike in oil over the weekend.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: It shot up like $ 107 a barrel. Well, it's been dropping,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: continues dropping. Been dropping the last couple of days down
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: $ 10 a barrel just in the last couple of days.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: So that's a good sign. Apparently, oil moving like crazy
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: through the Strait of Hormuz. Lots and lots of... lots
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: of oil flowing through there. It's going to be a beautiful, well,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a sunny day. It's going to

• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Now on 710WOR.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 11: Mark Simone.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Much more Mark. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Welcome to hour
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: number three of the latest breaking news this morning. Trump
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: has been very nice to Putin the last week or two,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: even flattering him at times, causing some flack for himself
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: by being nice to Putin. But it's paying off. A
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: couple of things have happened. Russia has released an American
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: they've been holding for four years, an American teacher. They
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: took hostage. So Putin, Trump asked for that teacher to
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: be released. That prisoner asked for him back. Putin released
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: him this morning. with no conditions. It was not a
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: swap or an exchange. He just did it for us,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: released the teacher. Now, the other big breakthrough, Putin has
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: agreed to trilateral talks. It'll be the U.S., Ukraine, Russia.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Putin has agreed to sit down for trilateral talks. Now,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: this is a big breakthrough. Of course, when you have
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: negotiations with Putin, no matter what he agrees to, it
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: never happens. But, It's the thought that counts. He's going
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: to have trilateral talks. So there's been a bit of
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: a breakthrough. We'll see what happens. Mayor Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: has announced he's given $ 80 million to Democrats. He loves
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. He's a Democrat, lifelong Democrat, except for that
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: period where he pretended he was a Republican to get
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: elected mayor, but he's been a Democrat all his life.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: So he's donating $ 80 million just in the last two weeks.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: This is the final two weeks it's only 13 days
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: until the election so there's gonna be a massive push
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: it's gonna get very intense the next week especially and
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: it's gonna go crazy so Bloomberg is pumping 80 million
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: dollars into the race I mean after all the Democrats
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: were so nice to him remember when he tried to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: run and they humiliated him out of the race of
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: course he was a stuttering idiot in the debates his
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: uh debate uh I watch it about once a week.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: Go on YouTube, type Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren. Watch Elizabeth
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Warren tear him apart on the debate stage and watch
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Bloomberg become a ridiculously embarrassing, stuttering idiot, a real chef
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: of the future. He didn't know what to say. Like
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: a bad fighter who couldn't even get his hands up.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: The anti-Semitism continuing all over the place. So some anti-Semite,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: anti-Israel vandals destroying the subway entrance, you know, the machines.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: When you go on the subway, it used to be
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: a MetroCard. Remember those? A MetroCard. Remember, a MetroCard. It
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: seems so antique. But, you know, you hold your phone
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: up to the little omni-screen reader. Well, these anti-Israel vandals
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: have been going into the subway. They've captured it on video.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: You can see them. They come in with a big drill,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: and they drill right through the glass and right through
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: the screen and destroy the Omni reader. Why? Because the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: company that makes the readers is an Israeli company, I guess.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: They cost about $ 3, 000 each, so they destroyed all of
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: them in one subway station. That's about $ 18, 000 in damages.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: They did leave two leaflets behind. One said, live free.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: Ride Free, F the NYPD. The other was anti-Semitic, anti-Israel.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Every time you tap, you're sending money to a war profiteer.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Stop the genocide, free Palestine. These guys were all covered
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: up and masked, so I don't know if they'll be
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: able to find them. But they did destroy a lot
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: of the Omni machine readers, but they'll be on the
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: lookout for these guys now, trying to stop them. Hey,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: The View. Joy Behar. You know, she's older than you
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: might have realized. She's 84, Joy Behar. And there's a
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: lot of people that are 84 and running around and
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: doing a great job. But she's become quite frail at 84.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: And she's taken a couple of bad falls backstage, even
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: on the set once. I think dislocated her shoulder. I mean,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: she's taken some really bad falls. Serious injuries. She's 84
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: and apparently backstage, behind the scenes, people have to lead
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: her around and hold her, otherwise she'll fall. So apparently,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: according to this report, the VIEW executives are urging her
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: to retire right away before something really bad happens, a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: serious injury. Behind the scenes, they say it's become a
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: dangerous situation. Nobody wants to be responsible if something bad happens.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: She needs the staff to guide her around backstage. She
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: was off the show for a while earlier this month,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: claiming she would be... Actually, she's been off since October 1st,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: claiming she would be returning soon, but that hasn't happened.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: But they're very alarmed about this, urging her now not
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: to come back, urging her to retire. You know who
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: is coming back? Roseanne Barr. Of course, the show Roseanne
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: back in the 80s, that was.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: The most important show, sitcom. It was huge. That show
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: was so big, so powerful. It was a top-rated show.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: Ran for many years. Now, remember, a few years ago,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: she brought it back. ABC brought it back. And she's
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: a Trump supporter. She's a conservative. So she wanted to
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: make that a part of the character, that she was
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: a Trump supporter. So they brought the show back. It
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: did very well in the ratings.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 9: But.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Everybody went crazy on a Trump supporter on ABC. Network
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: TV doesn't want any Trump support on there. So apparently
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: there was a tweet they didn't like. I forget what
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: the tweet was. They said it was racist, but they
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: were looking for an excuse to cancel her, and they
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: canceled her right away. Well, she's coming back now with
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: a whole new show independently produced. Either she's financing it.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: She probably made a billion dollars on Roseanne, so she
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: may be financing it. Yeah, it says self-financed. So it's
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: a sitcom called Meemaw, a modern-day fable. She plays a,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: it's basically like a trailer park family in Texas Hill Country.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: She plays the matriarch who's very patriotic. It's a mixed-race family.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: Dree DiMatteo plays her daughter. Remember her? She was on
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: The Sopranos. On The Sopranos, she was Adrienne, married to Christopher,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: People loved her in that show, so she'll be the daughter.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Omar Gooding plays her son-in-law. There's a granddaughter. Randy Quaid
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: plays the local sheriff. So it could be a great show.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Reporter took a sneak peek of it. They said
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: it's closer in tone to the trailer park comedy My
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Name is Earl than Roseanne. But she's financed this thing.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: They've done a pilot or a couple of shows, and
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: she's looking for an outlet. If a network wants it,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: Of course, the networks are all left-wing Trump haters. They're
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: not going to run it. But a streaming service, they
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: might want it. They might want it. So keep an
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: eye on this Roseanne new sitcom. That may be happening soon.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: If you're in Nashville, you remember you used to go
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: to Nashville. It was all country. It was country. It
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: was the Grand Ole Opry. It was Johnny Cash. It
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: was country play, ribs, all that stuff. Well, if you
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: go down there now, People are a little shocked. There's
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Lamborghinis all over the place. There's $ 30, $ 40 million mansions.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: You know, they got rid of the tax. Tennessee became
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: a great state. Nashville became the hottest, most booming city
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: in America. A lot of wealthy people. A lot of
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: northerners moved down there. It's becoming quite the glitzy, ritzy place.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Even a lot of top restaurants. Anthony Scotto, who used
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: to be running Fresco, the great restaurant here in New York,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: he moved down there. He opened an Italian restaurant. And
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: then another one, I think he's got a third one coming,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: hotshot New York restaurant guy down there. There's more and
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: more of that happening. And as I say, Lamborghinis all
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: over the place. It's not the same old Nashville. You know,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: there's good and there's bad to it. It's like Miami
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: Beach isn't the old Jackie Gleason, Larry King Miami Beach
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: with the houseboat. It's like a million skyscrapers. It's gridlock.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: It's traffic. It's traffic. uh hookers everywhere it's uh nightclubs
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: it's a million new york restaurant it's not what it
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: used to be things change when you that's the problem
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: with getting rid of all the taxes and making it
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: an easy place to move to. Everybody moves there. So
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: in France, they've got curfews now in Paris and Lyon.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: They're worried about this weekend where it could start up again.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Apparently a massive security operation being planned by Macron for
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: when the rioting comes back this weekend. Lay's potato chips. Now,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: you should not be eating potato chips, by the way.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: There's all kinds of new studies out. You know what
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: the healthiest thing you need is?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 9: Nuts.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, for a snack. Pistachio nuts, almonds, walnuts. Forget
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: potato chips. Not healthy. Too many chemicals. But you read
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: all the latest studies. Nuts are so healthy for you
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: in like 27 major categories. But Lay's announces new flavors
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: to hit the shelves this month and next month. They're
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: actually made in Texas. I'm choking up here. I don't
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: know if I like any of these. The new Lay's
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: potato chips. Coming out now. Cheddar scalloped style potatoes. That
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound great. Roasted holiday turkey flavored chips. Sounds ridiculous.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Lay's maple bacon chips. Sounds awful. Sorry, choking up here. Now,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: to wash it all down, Pepsi is announcing the big
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: new Pepsi. It's vanilla and cream soda. Okay, that doesn't
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: sound bad. Vanilla cream Pepsi. All right, it doesn't sound great,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't sound that bad. Now, in December, Lay's
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: is announcing chocolatey potato chips. Okay, this sounds okay. The
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: wavy milk chocolate potato chip. the wavy Dubai-style dark chocolate-covered chip.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: All right, it sounds okay. But it sounds like these
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: are going to be, they're going to, watch, the price
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: is going to go way up. This is an excuse
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: to sell you very expensive potato chips. Now, Halloween is coming,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: but some towns, especially out in the suburbs, many towns
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: and localities want to have curfews, strict curfews, Because they're
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: worried about trouble on Halloween, I guess. They want, now
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: this is a little too early, a 7 p.m. curfew.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: Long Branch, New Jersey has passed this, Warwick, New York,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: other towns. 7 p.m.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 7: Curfew.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: That is not enough time. I mean, you want your
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: kids to have dinner. I guess you could eat early,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: 5 o'clock, go trick-or-treating. But that's like only an hour
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: or two. Not enough trick-or-treating. I mean, this is a
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: time to really cash in. Free candy everywhere. All right,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: here's another one. They call this guy the godfather of AI.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: They call everybody the godfather of AI. This guy's Professor
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Hinton. All right, when you hear the word professor, run.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: If you hear the word professor, usually don't take anything
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: they say seriously. He's a British-Canadian computer scientist who worked
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: on the neutral networks that paved the way for AI.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: It's also the story from The Telegraph, which is the
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: sleaziest British paper. I wouldn't trust them at all. But
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: the godfather of AI claims humans had better be nice
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: to the bots or face extinction. The tech has apparently
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: developed signs of consciousness. Now, remember, this stuff has always
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: gone on. As we keep pointing out, they did this
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: with electricity. When electricity was invented, they thought it was
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: going to be evil and wipe us all out. And
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: that's what caused the book Frankenstein to be written. So
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: take it with a big, big grain of salt. I
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: don't know. Hey, speaking of Ukraine, some numbers coming out.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: You know, President Trump dramatically reduced our support, financial support
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: of Ukraine. And it turns out since Trump took office,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: we've only given 540 million.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 19: 540 million.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: Compare that to Biden, who gave them $ 130 billion. $ 130 billion.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: What did we get for it? Nothing. In fact, since
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Trump cut all the money down dramatically by like 99%,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Ukraine has been doing better. Maybe that's what pushed them
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: to develop all their own drones and their own missiles
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: and their own weapons. Since we cut their money, they've
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: made incredible progress. So maybe we should cut it some more. Hey,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. 800- 321-0710 is the number.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Give me a call, especially if you're a new caller.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: We love to hear from new callers.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 9: 800-321-0710.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: Now, 9 till noon weekdays. Mark Simone. More Mark. On 710WOR. Well,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. 800- 321-0710 is the number. Let's
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how are you doing?
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 11: Hey, beautiful day here in sunny North Carolina.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, sunny here too.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 21: I know.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 11: I'm headed home this weekend. I'm really kind of excited.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: Where is that?
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 11: To Stanford.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, Stanford, Connecticut.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you love Stanford.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: I love Stanford. You've got a lot of great places there.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: You've got the great restaurant Prime. You've got all sorts
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: of stuff there. You got to pop up bagels coming there.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: You got a Frank Pepe there. You got all you need.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 11: It's changed quite. It's like they're building like crazy. But
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 11: earlier I heard you mention Omar asking for money, Ilyan Omar.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 11: And so I'm I know I'm your favorite Democrat. So
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 11: I want to tell you that I got an email
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 11: from her the day after they, quote, raided her house.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: And it was.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 11: Unbelievable. It said Trump has weaponized the DOJ and the
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: DHS against his opponents. And now the fascism has come
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 11: to my literal front door. And so if I weren't
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 11: laughing enough, I would scroll down and it was like,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 11: I will not give up. I will not be silenced.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 11: Can you donate money to me?
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: But listen, if you heard, that's what you're going to say.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: That's the perfect life. First of all, the investigation into Omar.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: Started by Joe Biden. It started under him. That's right.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 11: And at least she didn't use the word, you know,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 11: like warfare or whatever.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 7: Lawfare, yeah.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 11: I mean, the pot is calling the kettle black there.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, all right. But, you know, that's the perfect
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: lie for her. That's the best spin. That's the best
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: thing to say.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 11: She's not running for anything, right?
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: It's running for her life, running from the law right now.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 11: No, but she's not doing re-election, right? So why does
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: she need money?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, at least you're going to have massive legal bills.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: She's going to need money for a legal defense.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 11: Well, I am more than thrilled that she got, I'm
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 11: sorry it took so long because I don't know what
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 11: took so long, but I'm anxious to hear it. But
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 11: also you read a thing about the Dubai, uh, or
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 11: the potato chips.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 11: What's the deal? What is the deal with the Dubai
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 11: mentioned for, for food?
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: Well, okay. This is the big, a hot thing for
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: about a year and a half. Actually, he lays is
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: a little late to it in Dubai. They came up
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: with the great, uh, It's chocolate and it's a pistachio
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: cream and a certain kind of filling. It's actually very delicious.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: It's Dubai chocolate bars and everybody in the U.S. It's
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: dark chocolate, a pistachio cream. It's actually delicious. Dubai chocolate bars.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: You can find them all over the place. And then
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Every restaurant started making Dubai chocolate desserts.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm a little slow to the game there, so
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 11: thank you for clearing that up.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you're in North Carolina.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 11: You know, I mean, you're a little out of it.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 11: You have a good day.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Let's go to James in Utah. James,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mark.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 9: Thanks so much.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 22: I just had a quick question. Do you know whether
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 22: Trump has ever thought about trying to make an appeal to, like,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 22: A gay community? He's done so much for the gay
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 22: community and he never really seems to make an outreach.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 22: I didn't know whether that was a plan you've ever
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 22: heard of.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: Well, there's not much. You can't really do anything. I mean,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: he's been very pro-gay. He was an early proponent of
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: gay marriage. He's attended a lot of gay weddings before
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: he got into politics. He's as pro-gay as anybody. But
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do because they'll just attack you.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: The media will attack you. You know, they continue to
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: describe him as a racist even though nobody has been
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: less racist. You know, before he went into politics, Trump
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: was getting awards from Jesse Jackson for the best minority
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: hiring practices. But it doesn't matter. No matter what he does, outreach, whatever,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: they'll keep attacking him. The fake narrative will keep going.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: But good question, James. Thanks for calling. Let's go to
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: Wendy in Long Island. Wendy, how are you doing?
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 18: I'm doing great.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: Well, that's good.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 18: Thanks for taking my call. So, listen, I beg to
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 18: differ about... Potato chips, they're actually a health food. They're
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 18: not junk food. Stop that.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: Stop that. Stop that.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 18: Yes, it's potatoes, oil, and salt. And you don't have
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 18: any problem with salt if you have low blood pressure.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: All right. I want you to get a pack of
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: potato chips in the supermarket, and I want you to
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: look at the ingredients. It does not say potatoes and
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: salt and oil. That's not what it says. It has
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: 47 chemicals and 28 ingredients you never heard of in there.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 18: I'll mail you a package of Lay's.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to pick on Lay's, but if you
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: go look at the label, there's all kinds of ingredients,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: you know, like sorbitol, albatol, visatol. chemical type thing. When
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: you see the ingredients have ingredients, you know you're not
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: eating the healthiest food.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 18: Okay. And then I just wanted to put comments on
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 18: the Turkish pistachio nuts. I've been eating them for years
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 18: and years and years, and they're really much better than
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 18: the California ones. They have a light seasoning and a
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 18: different taste. And then all of a sudden, when this
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 18: Dubai chocolate came out, the price of the pistachio nuts
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 18: jumped twice the amount that they were. So they were
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 18: about $ 9 a pound. Now they're over $ 20 a pound.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 18: I don't really care for the Dubai chocolate, and I
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 18: certainly don't want pistachio cream in my dark chocolate.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: You don't have to have it. It's just a big
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: thing in Dubai. There's a lot of big Dubai things
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: they love that everybody else would hate that look pretty stupid. Hey,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: where are you in Long Island?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 18: So we live out here in Comac.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: Comac is very nice. Very nice in Comac.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 18: It is very nice.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to, uh, let's see.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Oswald in Bayside. Oswald, how you doing?
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 9: Uh, Mark, I love your show.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 14: I think you're the best. And I hope, uh, Bruce
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 14: Blakeman wins, man.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: Well, he turned things around in New York. So you're,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: you're actually close to Nassau County. Not quite there. It's
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: right across the water from you, but, uh, Yeah, it's
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: very beautiful here. Bayside is very nice. I like it.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: You've got beautiful stuff there. The Bayview Terrace, you've got
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: all that. You've got Ben's Deli. You've got everything in Bayside.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 7: Thank you for taking my call, Mark. Have a beautiful day.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Aaron in Indianapolis. Aaron,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 14: And, hey, congratulations on your new year.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: What new year?
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 17: I'm sorry, your new hour.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, please stop. I'll make the show a year every day.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: It'll be a nonstop one-year show.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 20: I want to talk about the weaponization of the Justice
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 20: Department under Trump.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 20: Because that is to make up for the weaponization of
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 20: the Justice Department under Biden and Barack Hussein Ayatollah Obama.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Well, the difference is, if you look at the charges
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration is bringing, they all seem to be
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: quite legitimate. If you look at the lawfare against Trump,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: The charges are absolutely ridiculous and immediately tossed out by
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: any legitimate appeals court. But the Trump charges seem to
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: be real and they'll hold up in any court. So
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: that's the good news. But thanks for calling, Aaron. Yeah,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: so you look at the Letitia James case against Trump,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: the Alvin Bragg, this crazy DA case against Trump. All
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: our greatest legal scholars have said they can't figure out
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: what the hell the charge is. Dershowitz said he's been
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: doing this 60 years. Cannot figure out what the charges
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: against Trump. I mean, they fabricated ridiculous charges. That's why
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: they won't allow the appeals to proceed. They're holding them
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: up because the appeals court is just toss it all
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: out immediately. Hey, Trump, by the way, not convicted of anything.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: You know, they keep saying he's a convicted felon. You're
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: not technically a conviction until you're sentenced and they've held
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: up the sentencing. So when we come back, Ann Coulter,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to her next. On 710WOR.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 13: Well, Ann Coulter, the best-selling author, the great columnist, Rumble star.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: Have you been watching the Ann Coulter channel on Rumble?
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: Take a look at it. And then make sure you
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: sign up for her sub stack. You can follow her
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: on Twitter, but even better, sub stack. where she does
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: videos and podcasts and all sorts of stuff. It's anncoulter.substack.com.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: Ann Coulter, how are you doing?
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 7: Great.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 21: How are you, Mark Simone?
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Very good. Very good. Look at this. Kamala Harris is
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: hitting the campaign trail. That should be a big help.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's fantastic.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: That's going to really move the needle, huh?
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: Just be glad obama can't run again well he's out
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: there uh campaigning for uh el sayad this week could
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: el sayad really win in a rust belt michigan type
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: state well it's not that rust belt anymore but yes
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: yes i mean the.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: Big issue unfortunately for republicans i i it shouldn't be
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: because it's not going to end the Iran war, but
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: it is the Iran war. And it was stupid. Trump
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: promised not to start any more stupid wars.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 9: This is about the stupidest we've had.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Certainly in my lifetime, drove all these gas prices up.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: People are angry.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 21: I noticed that.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: MSNBC and CNN are already trying to say it's about
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: something other than the Iran war.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's ice.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: People are mad at ice. No, as I keep pointing out,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Although Trump's numbers are quite low, his immigration enforcement is
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: the most popular of all of his policies. It's the
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: one issue voters still trust Republicans on more. Not that
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: those questions are really as precise as they seem. What
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: happens is when voters are mad at the party in power,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: they just blame them for everything, every single little thing.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: So the numbers go down across the board. So it's
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: striking that still voters trust Republicans more on immigration. And,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: you know, this is what I keep telling people. I've
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: been running into a lot of them, just regular people
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: who are angry about the Iran war. And what on
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: earth is Trump doing? They're not wild about the ballroom
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff either, but it's mostly the Iran war.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: And I tell them you're not going to get less war,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: even if El-Sayed wins. And he is probably the Democrat
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: who would be most against this war, though they all are.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 21: Every Democrat voted.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: Against the Iran war, so Republicans are not in a
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: good position on that. it's not going to make any difference.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: It's not going to make any difference in how much
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: foreign aid we send to Israel or anyplace else. But
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: we will have sane judges blocked. Trump won't be able
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: to get any more judges through, and that's going to
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: last a long time. Next Democrat who comes in as
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: president is going to do what Biden did and fill
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: up the federal courts with a bunch of uh... p
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: c d i incompetent uh... we're also uh.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: Who were also going going to get lots more d
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: e i policies uh... i mean it's all the things
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: it what you are voting for by voting against republicans
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: is not what you're going to be getting here going
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: to be very bad i mean senate the senate election
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh a lot of them shockingly even texas
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: look awfully close We could lose, we could finally lose Texas.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: And I think I told you, I don't know, a
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: couple months ago, if you asked me about Texas, I
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: would have said, I don't know, it's Texas. They've been
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: predicting it for a long time. No, it looks pretty
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: bad right now. I hope I'm wrong. I can't tell
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: you how much I hope I'm wrong. But Senators last
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: six years. We're going to be stuck with these guys.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, who knows what will happen, but I
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very bad night for Republicans.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: We could lose Iowa.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: We could lose Texas. If that happens, I just want
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: to remind people this is six years. Don't throw a
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: little fit over Trump and the Iran war now.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, we'll see. It's going to be 13 days
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: from today. The most important thing is everybody get out
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: and vote. In New York, you can start voting on Saturday.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: Make sure you get out and vote.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: Well, not everyone should get out and vote.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: Yes. If you're a Democrat, the voting is in December.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: You can wait until then.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, you know, in the New
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: York elections, I mean, it is New York, but probably
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: the worst elected official in the state of New York,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: perhaps in all of history, is Letitia James, the attorney general.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: And I've been listening to her opponent, that Indian lady.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: Brilliant.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: And I have to say, she's really, she's very good.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: It's really kind of heartbreaking that she is... I doesn't
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: seem to have much of a chance. I mean, it
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: is New York, but wow. I hope New Yorkers are
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: paying attention to that.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, nobody can remember her name or even if they
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: know what it is, they can't say it. What's her name? Sarita.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not Letitia Jane.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: Vote for the Republican for attorney general. Very important. Hey, uh,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: you're an alumni, uh, How come I haven't heard about
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: Cornell for a few days? It vanished from the news.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: What was that? Why did it vanish?
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I've noticed that it's vanished every place except
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: from the New York Times, which is what my column
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: is about today. I know I've got to stop writing
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: about this, but they're so insane. This Cornell case is crazy,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: and we're getting the same thing we always get where–
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: where you know just here on fire reporting and i
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: mean just yesterday the new york times had another article
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: on uh.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: Why men in groups behave badly oh i don't know
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: agreement in groups created you know paypal spacex palantir all
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: the modern world they they they conquered nazi germany men
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: in groups have actually done some good thing yes uh...
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: But the Times in particular, it is worse than any
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: other major news outlet, that newspaper, in terms of anything
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: having to do with feminists. anything. They were the last
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: ones to admit that the Duke lacrosse players were innocent.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Nye Fong was in prison before
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: the New York Times would admit it. And, you know,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: as the great book by Stuart Taylor, I forget the
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: other guy's name, and until proven innocent, I think is
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: the name of it, about the Duke case demonstrated, it
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: was really shocking how much the New York Times kept
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: lying and hiding about that. And that's just one case.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, there have been many more since then. And
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: they're doing the same thing now. I kept noticing, I mean,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: I saw it right after ABC News posted it. A
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: lot of these documents had been released to the media.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: And ABC News, to their credit, was the first ones
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: to post a bunch of Jane.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 21: Doe's text to her alleged rapist in the week after
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 21: the gangbang, as she herself called it in one of
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 21: the texts, by the way.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: And they're utterly exonerating.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 9: It shows.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Pretty clearly not only consent, but ooh, enthusiastic consent. And
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: I keep reading these New York Times articles, and they're
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: not printing.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 21: The juiciest of her texts.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: They are simply not printing them. This is one thing
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: AI is great for. I asked a few AIs to
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: tell me if the New York Times had ever printed
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: this particular text from Jane Doe.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 20: Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: And this is when they have written more than 70
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: articles or podcasts or videos, more than 70 on this case.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: It's not like they're reserving judgment. They've already made their judgment,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: and it's just a matter of denouncing men.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: Now, if these texts are real and true, it looks
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: like she's saying afterwards, a week after, that everything was fine.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: She wasn't raped and it was all consensual. So in
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: a courtroom, won't they, these guys, won't they be able
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: to get declared innocent with all this?
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 18: Well, it's a lawsuit.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: It's not innocent, guilty. I mean, I don't think the
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: DA can't bring charges on the basis of this, I
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: would think. But that's why the New York Times and others,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the professoriate at Cornell is denouncing the president
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: for not doing more. It reminds me of the Rolling
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: Stones story about the non-existent gang rape at the UVA fraternity.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: And for you youngsters who missed this really glorious chapter
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: in journalistic history, Sabrina Eardley wrote the most insane, on-its-face,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: untrue story of a gang rape in a fraternity on
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: top of glass with fraternity brothers saying things.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 21: Like, grab its leg, its leg.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: Just statements that were, on their face, comical. The rest
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: of the media, liberal mainstream media, pretty quickly started, did
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: not take this article seriously. It was a cover story
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: on Rolling Stone. But, oh, at the school, all fraternity
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: activity was banned, as has just been done at Cornell.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: The dean of students, or this woman, Arduro, I think
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: her name was.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: She took Jackie, the accuser, totally seriously. You know, all
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: the Title IX apparatus kicked into play. And the entire thing,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: it was beyond fictional. This Jackie, the accuser, had never
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: set foot in the fraternity. She didn't know a single
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: member of the fraternity. She just randomly picked this fraternity to.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: To slam one newspaper, by the way, did not express
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: skepticism of her story. And yes, that would be the
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: New York times. But yeah, Cornell has bent over backward
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: to accommodate and to believe this loon, despite, despite what
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: are some very exonerating texts from her.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting. Ann Coulter, we're out of time,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: but everybody check. When's the new column come out today?
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: A little bit later today.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: All right, look for it on Twitter, on Substack. Follow
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: Ann Coulter at Substack. Make sure you watch her Rumble
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: channel and, of course, get all of her books. Ann Coulter,
• 1:43:05

  Speaker 2: we're out of time. And I'll be back tomorrow. Don't forget,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: 13 days until the election. But the early voting in
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: New York starts on Saturday. You can vote starting Saturday.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: In fact, do it this weekend. It'll probably be easier
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: that way. Connecticut, they already have early voting. Check your state.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: Early voting. Do it. I'll be back tomorrow. It's going
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: to be a nice, beautiful, sunny day. Windy, but sunny.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: and bright sunshine for the next five or six days.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: That's good. I'll see you tomorrow, 9 to noon, here
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR.
