  Speaker 1: Now on The Voice of New York, it's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on 710WOR. Hey, it's Friday. That's the good news.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a beautiful autumn weekend. We've got
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to today. We'll get to the horses.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Elon Omar. We'll get to Bruce Blakeman.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the real polls. We'll get to Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: This ad controversy is hysterical. It's the double standard at
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: its best. A lot to get to today. So the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: horses are gone as of, what's the actual date? 2028.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: June 1st, 2028. No horses will be allowed anywhere in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: New York City. No horse-drawn carriages anywhere in New York City.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: City Council voted yesterday. It passed the resolution to get
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: rid of the horses. As we told you, the Speaker
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: won't do the votes unless it's all prearranged, don't they?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: They do a lot of vote counting first, make sure
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they got the votes. Then they hold the whole thing.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So it was 40 to 7 to get rid of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the horses, 40 to 7. Two council members abstain. The
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: ban will take place June 1st, 2028. You know, A
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: while back, they restricted the horses outside of Central Park.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You could be in Central Park, but not out in
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the streets, which was a good idea. That was the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: best idea. And right now, it's 200 carriage drivers, 200
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: horses and buggies. Carriage industry workers fought hard. Now, they
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: are going to file a lawsuit. And you never know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You never know. They might prevail in the lawsuit. Although,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: if you're a city, I would think you've got the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: power to restrict whatever you want to restrict in certain
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: parts of your city. President Trump got into the mix.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: President Trump came in to defend those horses and carriages,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: tweeting out, it's a great tradition. He attacked the city
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: council for banning him on Twitter and Truth Social. He wrote,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the horse-drawn carriage in New York City is a quintessential
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: New York experience. So sad that for political reasons, we'll
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: see it go. So sad to see the beloved Central
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Park horse-drawn carriage industry ending after over a century. based
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: largely on one tragic accident. That's the key to all this.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: There really is no safety problem with the horses, none.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: There was one death, you saw it a year, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that's the only one in 100 years. One death from
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: horses in 100 years. In Central Park, e-bikes killed 133
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: people in just seven years. So once again, one death
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: from the horses in 100 years, E-bikes in Central Park,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: 133 deaths in seven years. So which one should you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: really be getting rid of? The horse-drawn carriages, they don't
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: know what they're going to do. They got a year
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and a half to find something else to do. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: imagine you'll see them, if the lawsuit's not successful, you'll
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: see them disappearing one by one by one as drivers
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: find something else to do. They find some place to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: sell the horse or the carriage. Now, there's got to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: be horse-drawn carriages somewhere else in America. You could go there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: City Council, they're very proud of what they did. Now,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: there's a union for these horse-drawn carriages. They're the ones
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that will push this lawsuit. And they're the ones claiming
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that this is all about real estate. The horses are
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: not kept in Central Park. They're kept in stables on
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the west side of Manhattan. One is next to the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Javits Center. One of the stables is next to Hudson Yards.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: These are big places, these stables. So because one's next
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to the Javits Center, because one is next to Hudson Yards,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they could be very valuable real estate. If you tore
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: down the stable, it could be a place for another skyscraper.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Very valuable real estate. So the unions and the drivers
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: are claiming it's all for these real estate developers. There's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of them. And I guess they'll try to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: look into... Donations. There are a couple of people now
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: looking at all this. The big real estate interest. Did
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they donate to these city council people? Especially Julie Menon,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: speaker of the city council, because she was all for
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the horses a while back. Now she's all against the horses.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Was it real estate developers getting to her? There's one
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: real estate developer, Steve Nislick. He has repeatedly denied any
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: hidden real estate motives. stating they have zero personal interest
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in acquiring or developing the stable sites. There you go.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: A real estate developer wouldn't mislead you, would he? I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't think so. Anyway, here's Julie Menon, city council speaker.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: They don't belong in an area that attracts 42 million
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: people a year, pulling a 1,000-pound carriage in record-breaking heat.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It's record-breaking heat two days a year. Also, they've been
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: operating for 100 years and there have been no issues,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: no safety. Well, there was that one incident, but that's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: once in 100 years. That's the most incredible safety record ever.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: But the city council.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's a tragedy for everybody in this business.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It's a tragedy for the horses. It's a tragedy for
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the city of New York. But that being said, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: are not done yet. Well, we'll see. We'll see. Uh,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: let me see. Here's some, here's some more people on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: this though. I wouldn't, uh, put my, my best friend
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in risk. And that's what I, I, I want these
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: people to understand that it is not about the love
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: they have for the animals. Yes. And, uh, they know
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they're animals and, but, but we're putting them in risk. Uh,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I look at those horse drawn carriages.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'm in central park like five days a week. I, I,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you look at the horse carriage. Nobody looks at that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and goes, oh my God, that looks dangerous. If this
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is the problem, shut down those roller coasters. You ever
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: see these rides they have in amusement parks? That looks scary.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The horse and carriage going half a mile an hour,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: 90-year-old horse clip-clopping slow. Nobody looks at that and said,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: oh my God, this looks dangerous. I don't think there's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: any risk. Again, one incident, one death in a hundred years.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Outside of that, accidents. I'm sure there've been a couple
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: big Very, very, very few.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I think if these people truly do love their horses,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I've been around horses, I've volunteered at sanctuaries that take
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: care of horses. They do best when they're in a
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: field where they're able to be with their friends and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: run around and do everything a horse would love to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: do naturally where they can't get that here.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it's not the worst job in the world.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I would think the worst thing is being a racehorse.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: There's a guy on your back whipping you. screaming at you,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: kicking you. To me, that's a bad job. You look
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: at the horses in Central Park with the carriages. They
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: don't look too thrilled. They don't look like it's the,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it's not the greatest job in the world, lugging a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: bunch of tourists around all day long. But it's like
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: being a cab driver. You know, you look at the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: cab drivers, nice people, but they don't look like they're
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: having the time of their life. They don't look like
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they're beaming, thrilled to be doing this. You're stuck in,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you ever drive in New York City? Oh, God, stuck
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in that bumper to bumper. Imagine doing that eight hours
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a day. It's annoying. So I guess if you're a horse, yeah,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you'd rather be out in the field in Pennsylvania, out
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: in the sun, than have a bunch of tourists and go,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you know, you're going a half a mile an hour
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: through Central Park, dodging bikes and everything. It's more dangerous
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for the horses with those e-bikes all over the place.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: For months, our family hasn't been allowed to just grieve.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We've had to fight.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: We've had to channel our devastating sorrow into a bore
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: for change.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: All right. I don't know what he's saying, but that's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: one of the horse guys. And well, we wish them
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: all luck. But again, the lawsuit, who knows? Maybe it'll
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: have some success. You know who's in real trouble is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Ilan Omar. Ilan Omar's got a lot of trouble ahead
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: of her and probably a million dollars in legal bills
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ahead of her. All sorts of stuff coming out now.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Besides all the other stuff, and being married to her brother.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Apparently they got her DNA. They got the brother's DNA.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: They got warrants to go through their garbage. And in
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the garbage, besides finding documents and bills and all sorts
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of stuff in people's garbage, it's the first thing a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: private eye does when he's looking at you. Go steal
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: your garbage. There's a lot of stuff in there. You know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: when you throw away your letters, your credit card bills,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's in your garbage. But also in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: there is your DNA because everything in there has been
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: touched by you. So they got her DNA. Same thing
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: with the brothers. So they'll figure this out. Now, the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: other big thing that's come out, they seem to have proved,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: proven that her name is not Ilan Omar, that she
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: long ago made up this name Ilan Omar, that she's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: actually Ilan Nursad Elmi. Now, why would you change that name?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: That's got a ring to it. Ilhan Noor Syed Elmi.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I guess she wanted something simpler, something more American. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: she changed it to Ilhan Omar. But it's not her name,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: according to the feds. And in the documents, they say
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they've proven that that's actually her real name. Now, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: funny thing is, that's her real name from birth. The
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: brother seems to have the same last name. So that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: would make this even more suspicious. Legal experts say if
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: she has lived in the United States her entire life
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: here under an alias, it creates all kinds of legal
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: implications for her, all kinds of trouble for her. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: expect her. According to every source that got her, expect
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: her to be deported. Could end up in jail, actually.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And expect her to be removed. You can't be in Congress.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You can't be serving if you're there under a phony name.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: If your citizenship status isn't right, she can be removed, deported,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: or jailed. Some of this is coming up. Hey, Vivek
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Ramaswamy in Ohio ran this ad. The Republican candidate is
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Amy Acton, a Democrat. The Democrat candidate is Amy Acton.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And the mother apparently did a lot of interviews saying
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: her daughter's a liar, her daughter's terrible. So they got
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: her to do a commercial. They had her record a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: commercial where the mother said, said, you know, I love
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: my daughter, but she's been lying to you. She's lied
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: about this. She's lied about that. Don't vote for her.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: She's got problems. She needs help. They ran that as
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a commercial. So now the Democrats go nuts, absolutely nuts.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And they said, this has crossed a line that nobody's
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: ever crossed. This has crossed the line like you should
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: never cross. When I'm watching Morning Joe this morning, they
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: have that That dopey Donnie Deutsch IQ of like maybe, maybe,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: maybe 100, maybe. And he's a former advertising guy. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: he said, this is the dirtiest political ad ever. This
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: ad will go down in the history books. Nobody has
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: ever done a dirtier ad than this ad. Now, of course,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it's the corrupt, biased Morning Joe show. So at the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: end of his rant, nobody says to him, Well, why
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: was it okay when they did it to RFK Jr.?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody asked that, of course. Remember when RFK Jr. was running,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: they had Caroline Kennedy record an ad denouncing him. They
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: had everybody in the Kennedy family record ads denouncing RFK Jr.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And nobody brought that up. So if the Democrats are
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: going to be mad, they should be mad at the plagiarism.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: They stole a Democrat technique. Get family members to go
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: after him. Is this President Trump talking about it? I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: know one thing. If my mother said that about me,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it would be you would have hit gold. You would
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have been very happy about it. So I know nothing
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: about it other than the mother said horrible things about
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a person that's running for governor of a great state,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a great state. And if it's even a little bit true,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you don't want her as governor. Well, hey, the other
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: thing is President Trump forgot something. He forgot they did
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that to him, too. They did it to him. Remember
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: they dragged out some cousin. What was her name? Mary Trump.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: They dragged out this cousin to say all kinds of
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: horrible things about Trump, that he was evil. He was
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a liar. He was a crook. He was just anything
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: she could say. And then they dragged her onto every show,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a whole hour with Rachel Maddow, a whole hour with
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: morning Joe. They used her in commercials. They had her
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: on every TV shows. Now, the funny thing about that,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: she's the cousin of Donald Trump, but she never actually
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: met him. She was, uh, An outcast for the Donald
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Trump side of the family. She never even met him.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Never met him. She was once in the same room
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: with him at the White House for some big, huge,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: hundreds of people in a gathering, but never actually met.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Don Jr. told me he's never met her. But they
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: used her all over television against Trump, a relative. So
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: they did it to him. And he's right. If they
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: got his mother to do that ad, they would have
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: been pushing that ad everywhere. So it's the double standard
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Democrats are famous for. Bruce Blakeman doing very, very, very well.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: He got the endorsement of the New York Post today. Now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that's great, but endorsements mean absolutely nothing. Maybe in the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: 1950s it might have helped, but if you check the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: New York Times endorsements, They have a track record of 97%
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of their endorsements lose, something like that. Remember Hillary Clinton
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: for president? Every newspaper in America endorsed her. She had
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the endorsement of every major newspaper in America. And lost,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: of course. Lost big. So the endorsements mean nothing. Same
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: thing with the union endorsements. Maybe, maybe if you got
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the police union, the police endorse you. Well, maybe you
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: could brag about that. But otherwise, endorsements don't mean anything.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: That was one of the problems with Cuomo. Besides the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: fact that he was the most hated guy in New York,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: besides the fact nobody ever wanted him in office again,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: he kept doing this old 1960s kind of campaign where, oh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the plumbers union has endorsed me. I just got the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: endorsement of the concrete workers union like nobody cares about
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this stuff so but blakeman is doing very very well
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: coming up later in the show we'll have the world's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: best pollster the real pollster give us all the latest
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: numbers this uh george washington bridge shooting wow just horrible
• 15:40

• 15:41
