  Speaker 1: You're listening to The Mark Simone Show, WOR. Hey, I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: going to chat on Israel. There's no word yet, no winner.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu is slightly ahead, slightly ahead right now in Israel.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: There is no real answer here. It looked like Netanyahu
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was going to be defeated, but he has pulled ahead.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: He got almost 80% of the vote in. He has
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a very slight lead. Looks like he will most likely
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hold on to it, but it's not certain. He can't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: declare a winner yet in Israel. Now, in the U.S.,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: our election is next week. It's six days from now.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: The most important one for us right here is getting
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman elected governor. That could really straighten out a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lot of things that could keep a lid. Also, on
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the Mamdani craziness, they got all kinds of plans. If
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the Democrats win, they got all kinds of plans. As
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Blakeman has pointed out, if Hochul wins, she is planning
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to bring the congestion pricing to everybody. Right now, it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Midtown Manhattan. You've got to pay a $ 9 congestion pricing
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: fee every time you enter Manhattan. If Hochul wins, she's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: planning to do it everywhere. Brooklyn, Flatbush Avenue will be
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: congestion pricing. Queens Boulevard, Northern Boulevard, they'll be congestion pricing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: If you live in the Bronx, Tremont Avenue, Staten Island,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the Staten Island Expressway, you're going to have congestion pricing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: They're also going to bring it to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Binghamton,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's an idiotic idea. It is the worst thing in
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the world. She is claiming the MTA needs the money.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely false. The MTA budget is double what it
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: should be. If they would get the cost under control,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: stop the waste, stop the bloat, stop the fraud, they'd
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: have more than enough money. Also, if Hochul wins, apparently
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: she's planning to raise taxes, just regular old taxes. Mamdani
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is out there campaigning with her. It looks like they've
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: made some kind of deal. You remember last year, she
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: had to bail Mamdani out with the budget, like send
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: him about $ 8 billion or something. So apparently the deal
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is if Hochul wins with Mamdani's support and endorsement, she'll
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: raise taxes to pay for Mamdani's socialist agenda. There'll be
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: an increase in income tax, property tax, higher taxes on farms,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on small businesses, massive inheritance tax. Mamdani wants this because
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: he wants to pay for his socialist nonsense. He wants
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to pay fortune for illegals, take care of illegal migrants
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and all their bills and all of that. Oh, I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: getting an important text. Look at that. Early voting is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ending soon. Make sure you vote early. All right, well,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that's a good message. Do the early voting. You can
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: do it all this week. You can do it over
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the weekend. If you do early voting, there's no line.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You just breeze right through. It'll be much, much easier.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But Hochul, with her nonsense. He must like a lot
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of traffic, higher accidents, slower response time, less money to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: fund the MTA and Long Island Railroad, and not really
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: care about congestion. Yeah, the congestion pricing has not brought
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: down traffic. Has not increased response time. She's produced a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: couple of fake studies that mean nothing. Speaking of which,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the fake polls are coming out left and right right now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: yesterday and today. College polls, media polls, totally rigged. If
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we have experts look into the metrics, the sampling is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: totally rigged. The most biased polls. You know, the funniest
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: thing is in most of these polls, they totally, totally
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: contradict each other. So it's just the most rigged polling
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in the world. Don't take any of it seriously. Everything
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is rigged nowadays. These polls are totally fraudulent. Here's a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: new study that just came out. News sites, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like Apple News. You got your iPhone, you got your computer,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and it says Apple News. Bring you all the news. Well, okay.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Seems pretty easy. Sign up for Apple News. A recent
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: study by Media Research showed that Apple News... pushed 84
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: negative headlines about the GOP, zero positive. It is the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: most biased, slanted news. They analyzed Apple's top 20 stories
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: every day for a week. It was like 84% anti-GOP,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the most slanted news in the world. And millions of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: voters used this stupid Apple news. Do not rely on it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yahoo News, Microsoft News, Seemed to be just as bad.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It is the most slanted, biased news in the world. Yesterday,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you remember we were talking about Dan Rather? He's really
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the father of fake news. Now, in the good old
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: days of CBS, I mean the heyday, you know, the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Walter Cronkite days or even the Edward R. Murrow, they
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: were all kind of left-wing guys. They were Democrats. They
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: were liberals, which is fine. But Cronkite and the others,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they didn't let it. effect their on-air work. Oh, once
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in a while you could tell it was a little slightly,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the wording was a little liberal. A little, just a hair,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: just a hair. But that's all it ever was. Then
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Dan Rather takes over the evening news and he decides
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to weaponize it. He decides to weaponize CBS News. He'll
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: use it to change public opinion. You're just supposed to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: report the news. But he starts slanting it and slanting
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it and slanting it. I think the first big example,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: remember when it was George H.W. Bush, Bush seniors running
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: against Bill Clinton. So Rather started doing what they're doing now,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: try to make it look like the economy stinks. Our
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: economy right now is booming. Gas prices are a little high,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but otherwise, economy is booming right now. So Rather launched
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a series every night. The CBS Evening News would open
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: with a couple of headlines and then it would say,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Also coming up, our special feature, Economy in Crisis. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: then every night they would do this special feature. This
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: dramatic music would come on and it would say, Economy
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in Crisis. And then they would tell you how bad
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the economy was. It wasn't true. They would just do
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this feature every night leading up to the election. Then
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: election night, Bill Clinton got elected. Wow. The next day,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: there was no CBS News feature, Economy in Crisis. It
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: went away just like that. They dropped it. and Rather
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: started pulling crap like that. He started slanting, biasing, rigging, faking.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It got to the point where he was just into
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: out and out fake news. Remember, by the time it
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was George W. Bush, they made up a whole fake
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: story that he had gone AWOL in the National Guard.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: There was no truth to this. It was a total
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: fiction from Dan Rather. But at one point, he decided
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he would do a full piece on it. He even
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: put it on 60 Minutes on the CBS Evening News
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: where he had these documents from back then, from the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: commanding office, documents proving that he had gone AWOL. Well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it turned out the documents were fake. By then it was,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you know, we were in the internet digital world and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: all these online guys looked at the documents and they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: noticed The documents were typed in a font that did
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: not exist back then. There was no such font back
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: in whenever this was supposed to be in the 90s.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And then they examined the documents. They found out they
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: were totally complete forgeries. And at the time in the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: National Guard, Bush had a commanding officer. And apparently this
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: commanding officer was telling people Bush never went AWOL. In fact,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he was a pilot. He was one of the best
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: pilots I ever saw in the Air National Guard. He
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was one of my finest. Well, they wouldn't put this
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: guy on the air. They wouldn't put him on the air,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but rather found some secretary that had worked there back
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: then who said, well, the documents may be false, but
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that's what this guy really would have said if they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: found this officer. So they put her on the air. Now,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the guy had died, so they couldn't put him on.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But his wife said, no, he never would have written
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a document. They wouldn't put her on the air. So
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it was total fabricated fake news from Rather. It got
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: really ugly. It got to the point where even CBS
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: had to launch an investigation. And they brought in legitimate
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: investigators from the outside, real serious investigators. They investigated. You
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: can read the report online. They found out that Rather
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: had totally faked the whole story using fake, forged documents.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And the biggest, most famous anchor in television, Dan Rather,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: had to be fired. CBS News fired him. He left
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: CBS in absolute, total disgrace. And of course, you haven't
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: heard from him since. He's, oh, once in a while
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he appears on something. There's a great publication called Barrett Media.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's like the best You should read Barrett every day.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It covers radio, but it covers everything else. So they,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, this is what Dan Rather's up to now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Barrett sits down with Dan Rather, who talks about how
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: damaged CBS News is now. So this, he's about 95 now,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Dan Rather. He's an old, old, and I like Dan Rather.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, Parsley's a nice guy, but the founding father
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of fake news, very bitter now. So they interview him
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and he said, I don't know if CBS News can
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: even be fixed. It's so damaged. What the damage was,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: 60 Minutes was faking pieces and using deceptive editing and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: all kinds of crap. They'd been sued over it. The
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Trump administration went after him. They had to settle for
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: like 20 million. I mean, it's just terrible. So this
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: new CBS News had Barry Weiss is cleaning it up,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to make it legitimate. So Rather interprets
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this as very damaged. I don't know if it can
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: even be repaired, it's so damaged. So he's still out there,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this crabby old Dan Rather, fighting for his fake news
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to continue. You know how they banned the horse from
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Central Park, the horse and carriage, they're going to get
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: banned because somebody got killed by a horse and carriage.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: One death in 100 years. They're banning the horses and carriages.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: E-bikes have had 133 deaths just in the last couple
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of years. They're not banning those. Lithium batteries. There was
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: another one that exploded yesterday in one of the NYCHA houses.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: The lithium battery exploded, killing somebody. This is not the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: first time. These e-bikes, e-cars, they've got these lithium batteries,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the most dangerous things in the world. They explode. A
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: lot of people have been killed I don't see the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: city council banning the lithium batteries anywhere in New York.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Where's the ban on that? The horse is one death
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: in 100 years. That was it. So it's unbelievable. Hey,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: also Barrett, Barrett Media, you should read it every day.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: There's an article, interview with Jesse Kelly, who said talk
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: radio better realize the Trump era is coming to an
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: end pretty soon in two years. And, you know, he's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: got a point there. You know, the day before Trump
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: announced in 2015, talk radio was a whole different world.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Once Trump got in the race, boy, he became the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: lead story every day. It's been that way for 11 years.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And it's been incredible for talk radio. Talk radio has
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: 63 million listeners every day. It's exciting with Trump. You
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: don't love him or hate him. It's exciting stuff every
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: day for talk radio. Jesse Kelly pointing out there's only
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: two years left of Trump. Now, when he gets out
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of office, he could still be, you know, saying all
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: kinds of things, but it won't be the same because
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: he won't be in office, in power. And by then
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he'll be 82, and he's got to slow down at
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: some point. So Jesse Kelly's saying talk radio has to pivot.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a point there. We can't cover J.D.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Vance all day. That's not that exciting. Marco Rubio is brilliant.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: He's great, but it's not exciting talk radio every day.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. But they did this years ago
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: when Rush Limbaugh became the biggest thing in the world,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: yelling and screaming at Bill Clinton. And then when Bill
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Clinton left, I remember every trade magazine saying, well, that's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it for talk radio. There'd be nothing to talk about
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: without Bill Clinton. Well, Rush did even better. It's always
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: going to work. Yeah, he's right. You do have to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: pivot a little. But it'll always, always, always, there'll always
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: be stuff for talk radio. Hey, we have a great sponsor.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It's PC Richard & Son. I just want to congratulate them.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: PC Richard & Son is now celebrating 117 years in business.
