- 0:00Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on sevent ten.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Wr Hey, it's just very stranger. You know, it's cold out,
- 0:09Speaker 2: Hockey seasons started. Football games are on Thursday night and
- 0:13Speaker 2: Monday night. It's just very strange. It's really autumn. I
- 0:15Speaker 2: can feel it now. And I look every time you
- 0:17Speaker 2: go on the store first display, you see Halloween candy everywhere.
- 0:22Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time. It's going to happen.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Very soon. You're gonna walk into a store and there'll
- 0:27Speaker 2: be some Christmas display there. It's in fact, I just
- 0:31Speaker 2: I just a friend of mine just texted me from Paris.
- 0:34Speaker 2: They're putting up Christmas lights on the shows. That'll say
- 0:36Speaker 2: right now as we speak, Walmart is doing it already.
- 0:41Speaker 2: But that's okay, that's okay. The faster this happens, the
- 0:44Speaker 2: quicker we get to spring. So Columbus Day is Monday.
- 0:49Speaker 2: This is a holiday that was really on the outs
- 0:51Speaker 2: for a while, but not now. President Trump putting out
- 0:53Speaker 2: a proclamation about Columbus Day is going to make it
- 0:56Speaker 2: a very big deal. Columbus Day Parade will be here
- 0:59Speaker 2: in New York on Monday. So just remember that. Snarling
- 1:02Speaker 2: up traffic all over Midtown on Monday let's get to
- 1:06Speaker 2: the mayoral race. New polling shows that with Eric Adams
- 1:11Speaker 2: dropping out of the race, Cuomo picks up a few votes,
- 1:14Speaker 2: about eighty percent more than I thought. About eighty percent
- 1:17Speaker 2: of the Adams vote has gone to Cuomo. About twenty
- 1:20Speaker 2: percent went to Mom Donnie. Now, these poles aren't that accurate.
- 1:24Speaker 2: These are these dopey college polls. But it shows Cuomo
- 1:28Speaker 2: picking up a little, but not enough to really come
- 1:31Speaker 2: close to Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie still has a big lead.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Curtis picked up a little. The matching funds were handed
- 1:38Speaker 2: out and matching funds yesterday. Cuomo got almost two million
- 1:45Speaker 2: in matching funds. That's from the campaign finance board. Curtis
- 1:48Speaker 2: got a million four in matching funds. Mom Donnie got
- 1:54Speaker 2: I think a million two in matching funds. Now Curtis
- 1:57Speaker 2: has been spending money. I'll give them credit. Those ads
- 2:00Speaker 2: are all over the place. If you're watching the Yankee
- 2:02Speaker 2: playoff game, Curtis ran ads in the game. If you're
- 2:06Speaker 2: watching Good Day New York this morning, there were ads
- 2:08Speaker 2: for Curtis TV ads. I'm Donnie not doing much advertising,
- 2:12Speaker 2: but if he does, it's not TV, it's social media.
- 2:16Speaker 2: That's the most important battleground right now. Cuomo doing a
- 2:20Speaker 2: lot of interviews and if you listen to him in
- 2:23Speaker 2: these interviews, the problem is he's awful in debates. He's
- 2:28Speaker 2: a terrible debater. He's slow, and he talks like this.
- 2:33Speaker 2: So I'm listening to some of these. He's done some
- 2:35Speaker 2: long interviews podcasts, radio shows, and if you listen to them,
- 2:41Speaker 2: you ask the guy a question and then he takes
- 2:44Speaker 2: a long time to answer and it's like a five
- 2:50Speaker 2: minute answer. He's great on a podcast podcast, you got
- 2:54Speaker 2: to fill an hour. This guy's perfect. Ask him anything.
- 2:56Speaker 2: He talks for eight minutes with a talks slow, runs
- 3:00Speaker 2: down the clock. But you can't do that in a debate.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And you gotta be like mam Donnie in a debate,
- 3:05Speaker 2: you gotta be rapid fire, like boom boom boom. You
- 3:07Speaker 2: hit the guy with stuff and then they go to
- 3:08Speaker 2: Cuomo for a response and he goes, mister, mom, Donnie
- 3:13Speaker 2: may think that uh, And already the audience says, so
- 3:17Speaker 2: he's not good in the debate. Curtis is a great debater.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Now the big development this is where the race will
- 3:24Speaker 2: be decided Thursday night, the first mayor Old debate. There'll
- 3:29Speaker 2: be another one six days later, but Thursday night, the
- 3:34Speaker 2: first mayor Old debate that is coming Thursday night. It'll
- 3:37Speaker 2: be Mam Donnie'll be he's good. Into the debate, he's
- 3:40Speaker 2: very good. Curtis will be very good. Curtis could hit
- 3:42Speaker 2: him with a knockout punch. You never know. Anything's possible.
- 3:45Speaker 2: He may not, but anything's possible. Cuomo will talk slow
- 3:50Speaker 2: and it won't work, and he'll look old and tired
- 3:53Speaker 2: compared to these two. And so if Curtis can land
- 3:58Speaker 2: some blows and really make a difference, that could turn
- 4:01Speaker 2: the race around. Now it's possible that Curtis is very good,
- 4:05Speaker 2: but nothing changes. And then now New York is famous.
- 4:09Speaker 2: New York City is famous for in its mayoral races,
- 4:12Speaker 2: the whole thing can change in the last couple of weeks.
- 4:15Speaker 2: We've seen that before many times in New York City,
- 4:18Speaker 2: where whatever race way, the race is headed, in the
- 4:21Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, it just all changes. It can
- 4:23Speaker 2: all change very fast in New York City. I don't
- 4:26Speaker 2: know exactly why, but here is where that does happen.
- 4:28Speaker 2: So it could be the debate shakes everything up and
- 4:32Speaker 2: things change. It could be that nothing changes, and then
- 4:36Speaker 2: you're on track to have a Mamdani victory. Cuomo, we know,
- 4:40Speaker 2: is not the one guy that can't beat Mamdani is Cuomo.
- 4:44Speaker 2: We've seen it in the primary. He got just slapped
- 4:47Speaker 2: around by him in two debates. He lost by a
- 4:50Speaker 2: lot of votes in the primary. So Thursday night, if
- 4:54Speaker 2: anything's going to change, that's where it'll change. Now. Mamdani's
- 4:59Speaker 2: been doing a lot of interviews, and the other thing
- 5:01Speaker 2: is Mam Donnie's been sort of hedging. He normally was
- 5:04Speaker 2: given clear answers, but Buck Sexton texting, you love Buck.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Your Cuomo is excellent, Thank you very much. You know,
- 5:17Speaker 2: I'm listening to these radio interviews and here's the other thing.
- 5:20Speaker 2: You know, you're dealing with a weasel. When they talk,
- 5:24Speaker 2: they ask themselves questions and answer like, what about the
- 5:28Speaker 2: nursing homes? Did you get kill ten thousand people? A
- 5:32Speaker 2: lot of people ask me about the nursing homes? Look,
- 5:37Speaker 2: do I think I made a mistake? Maybe? Do I
- 5:42Speaker 2: think I might have done things differently? Maybe he's been
- 5:45Speaker 2: saying that a lot lately. First, he tried this explanation
- 5:48Speaker 2: about the nursing homes. It's the dumbest decision ever in
- 5:52Speaker 2: the history of decisions. Can you imagine people have got
- 5:56Speaker 2: the virus they just tested positive, you send them into
- 5:59Speaker 2: the nursing home where these old, vulnerable people are living.
- 6:02Speaker 2: It was the dumbest thing ever. So he's tried for
- 6:04Speaker 2: the last week this explanation of well, other states did
- 6:10Speaker 2: it too, We're not the only plenty of states did it. Yeah,
- 6:12Speaker 2: but it wasn't the same and it wasn't like this here.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I mean, this was a he killed ten thousand people.
- 6:21Speaker 2: The decision was genocidal. So he's now doing this I
- 6:26Speaker 2: wouldn't call it an apology. Look, did I make a mistake?
- 6:31Speaker 2: Would I do it differently? Maybe? Yes. And he's doing
- 6:35Speaker 2: this fudging thing where he says, look, I still have
- 6:38Speaker 2: nightmares at night. I can remember all my conversations with
- 6:43Speaker 2: those families. He says that a lot. Now, in all
- 6:47Speaker 2: my conversations with these families, I'd like to find somebody.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Please find one family that he had. Yet there's no
- 6:53Speaker 2: family that says they've ever had a conversation with Cuomo.
- 6:58Speaker 2: He's changed his tune on bail ref Hey, our friend
- 7:02Speaker 2: Sid interviewed him this morning, and Sid at one point,
- 7:04Speaker 2: good for sid. He brought up Kathy Hokel. You know,
- 7:09Speaker 2: Kathy Holt has been a horrible governor, and he said,
- 7:14Speaker 2: she's terrible. You picked her. You're the one that gave
- 7:17Speaker 2: us Kathy Hokel, you know, the lieutenant governor. You picked her.
- 7:21Speaker 2: And Cuomo said, yeah, you re elected her. So that's
- 7:26Speaker 2: a good comeback, very snappy comeback, first time its history
- 7:29Speaker 2: was made. Clomo actually had a snappy comeback. But he's
- 7:32Speaker 2: going to get hit with all this stuff and Curtis
- 7:34Speaker 2: will pound away on him. So if anything's going to change,
- 7:37Speaker 2: it'll change thirsty. Oh. Now here's another factor with this
- 7:41Speaker 2: peace agreement in the Middle East. This affects the mayoral race.
- 7:45Speaker 2: It's going to effect a few elections around the country.
- 7:47Speaker 2: A lot of these races are all about how horrible
- 7:50Speaker 2: israel Is and Gaza people are starving being slought. Well,
- 7:54Speaker 2: now that that's over, this kind of takes that issue
- 7:57Speaker 2: off the table, and it was a big one from Amdani.
- 8:00Speaker 2: So he's going to lose this issue. In fact, if
- 8:04Speaker 2: he tries this again, the suffering and the Palestinians, the
- 8:08Speaker 2: suffering in Gaza, if he tries pulling that, you can
- 8:12Speaker 2: point out well then thank Trump, He's the one that
- 8:14Speaker 2: solved the problem. He's bringing that problem to a complete conclusion.
- 8:18Speaker 2: And there's a lot of governor's races for that. That's
- 8:20Speaker 2: a big issue, you know, Israel Palestine. So it's a
- 8:24Speaker 2: tough thing, this peace agreement, because it's brilliant, it's wonderful,
- 8:28Speaker 2: it's an amazing negotiation, an amazing accomplishment by Trump. It's
- 8:32Speaker 2: tough for the Democrats because they have to actually try
- 8:34Speaker 2: to say something nice. Chuck Schumer White, I mean, he
- 8:37Speaker 2: was so his classes were fogging up, but he had
- 8:39Speaker 2: to say something.
- 8:40Speaker 1: If disagreement is implemented, then finally, after two years of
- 8:44Speaker 1: immense suffering, the hostages could soon be free. There could
- 8:49Speaker 1: be a ceasefire, and the victims of this painful conflict
- 8:54Speaker 1: can start to rebuild their lives.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Yeah, now they're waiting to see exactly how this unfolds.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Does it actually work? So this weekend they can't really
- 9:03Speaker 2: go after the present because we don't know. We've got
- 9:05Speaker 2: to see will this really work? Will it be done?
- 9:09Speaker 2: So let's say it everything goes well. On the weekend,
- 9:12Speaker 2: Trump goes to Egypt, they make the deal. Everything signed Monday,
- 9:15Speaker 2: they released the hostages Tuesday. There's a big ceremony for
- 9:19Speaker 2: the hostage. This will be great. Then it's after that
- 9:23Speaker 2: the media has to try to figure out how to
- 9:25Speaker 2: attack Trump on this. They will find a way. How
- 9:29Speaker 2: will they attack them? I don't know. Well, maybe listen
- 9:31Speaker 2: to the Schumer thing.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Again, I disagreement is implemented then finally after two years.
- 9:36Speaker 2: So maybe that'll be the attack line. If he could
- 9:38Speaker 2: do this, why didn't he do this two years ago?
- 9:40Speaker 2: Why did he wait two years to do this? They'll
- 9:42Speaker 2: try something like that. They'll try a few things to
- 9:44Speaker 2: see what sticks. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel's done a bunch of interviews. Kimmel,
- 9:51Speaker 2: he was on Bloomberg. So when it comes to the
- 9:53Speaker 2: big lie, he told that's how he got in all
- 9:55Speaker 2: the trouble. He lied about the Charlie kirkshooter, claiming it
- 9:58Speaker 2: was a maga guy. Total total distortion, total fake news.
- 10:03Speaker 2: He can't admit that though he's on this Bloomberg interview
- 10:06Speaker 2: and he said, well, it was mischaracterized. I was distorted
- 10:09Speaker 2: what I said. Now we can see the clip. He
- 10:11Speaker 2: out and out lied. He deliberately lied on the show.
- 10:16Speaker 2: But he's a mischaracterized the store so he just won't
- 10:20Speaker 2: give in on this. Now. The other thing is he
- 10:22Speaker 2: said he would love to have Donald Trump on his show,
- 10:24Speaker 2: So he basically invited Trump to come on his show.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Now you might say, well, that's great, he should do that.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Trump would be great. He can handle Kimmel. This would
- 10:33Speaker 2: be he should definitely do well. He said. The problem is,
- 10:35Speaker 2: why would Kimmel do this because in all the controversy
- 10:39Speaker 2: when he came back on the air, he got six
- 10:41Speaker 2: point five million viewers, not as usual one million. He
- 10:45Speaker 2: got six and a half million. He was suddenly number one,
- 10:48Speaker 2: He suddenly had great ratings. Well it took a few days,
- 10:51Speaker 2: but it quickly went back to one million. He lost
- 10:53Speaker 2: the whole bounce that he got. He lost it all
- 10:56Speaker 2: and went back to his miserable ratings. So that's why
- 10:59Speaker 2: he wants to have Trump on because then he could
- 11:01Speaker 2: go to twenty million or what's the all time record
- 11:05Speaker 2: late night television. I think it was Johnny Carson tiny
- 11:10Speaker 2: Tim's wedding nineteen sixty nine that went to forty nine million.
- 11:15Speaker 2: That's the all time record for a late night show.
- 11:17Speaker 2: He thinks he could do that with Trump. So if Trump,
- 11:21Speaker 2: you know, he'd want to do it, but he wouldn't.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Why help Kimmel, Why help Kimmel. So he should say
- 11:28Speaker 2: to him, I'll do an interview with you, but let's
- 11:32Speaker 2: do it on the Sean Hannity Show. Let's do it on.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Let's do it on Fallon, give fallon the ratings. But
- 11:40Speaker 2: we'll see if anything comes to that invitation. Hey, a
- 11:44Speaker 2: lot of people in the Senate are going to be
- 11:45Speaker 2: suing Jack Smith, that bug eyed weirdo with the cape.
- 11:51Speaker 2: You know, he got their phone records, their phone calls.
- 11:53Speaker 2: But turning out, he got a lot of stuff. He
- 11:55Speaker 2: went into everybody's phone, got their GPS. He can see
- 11:59Speaker 2: everywhere they went, everywhere they went. You know, I'll see
- 12:05Speaker 2: you go into your iPhone. There's a lot of stuff
- 12:07Speaker 2: in there. There's got medical records, most people have their medications.
- 12:10Speaker 2: There's all kinds of personal information in there. So they're
- 12:12Speaker 2: going to sue this guy like crazy. He's speaking of
- 12:16Speaker 2: medical You know a lot of people love taking ozampic.
- 12:19Speaker 2: There's three of them. There's a what's the other one,
- 12:21Speaker 2: Manjaro's Zeppa. There's like a bunch of these. The problem
- 12:26Speaker 2: with is ozambic. You get what's called ozempic face. It
- 12:29Speaker 2: starts looking old. Your face looks old, and it starts sagging.
- 12:32Speaker 2: It you get they call it ozembic face. Now d
- 12:35Speaker 2: disappointing out. You'll get ozembic teeth. It plays around with
- 12:38Speaker 2: your the healthier teeth and your gums. Now apparently there's
- 12:42Speaker 2: another discovery they've just come up with. Uh, if you're
- 12:46Speaker 2: on ozampic and then you need medical imaging, you know,
- 12:49Speaker 2: a cat scan, an MRI, it can distort the results
- 12:52Speaker 2: and give you false results, and you can get misdiagnosed.
- 12:57Speaker 2: With a long explanation as to why, too complicated. But
- 13:00Speaker 2: that's another problem to those in pigs. Hey, oh hey,
- 13:03Speaker 2: a great a great guy died yesterday, Shelley Fireman. He
- 13:08Speaker 2: was one of the great restaurant tours in New York.
- 13:10Speaker 2: He was ninety three. Right over there he tried to
- 13:14Speaker 2: read De Larte. That was one of his restaurants, Red Eye, Grill, Fiorrella,
- 13:18Speaker 2: right across from Lincoln Center. Through the years, Bond forty
- 13:22Speaker 2: five in the theater disc This guy was a great
- 13:24Speaker 2: restaurant owner, a very colorful guy in real life. And
- 13:29Speaker 2: I'm leaving that there's a bunch of restaurants he owned
- 13:32Speaker 2: ninety three just died yesterday, but I saw him not
- 13:34Speaker 2: long ago. He was in the restaurant, holding the meeting,
- 13:36Speaker 2: working at ninety three, in fact, fifty seventh three. He
- 13:40Speaker 2: just opened this new restaurant, the Paris Bistro, Paris Bar,
- 13:43Speaker 2: whatever it's called. But he's ninety two opening a brand
- 13:48Speaker 2: new restaurant. That's the way you gotta be, Cape working,
- 13:51Speaker 2: never stop. Hey, when we come back, we'll take some calls.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
- 13:58Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred p two one zero seven ten
