  Speaker 2: Hey, it's the final hour. It's Tuesday. The election is
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: seven days from now, exactly one week from today. But
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: don't wait. Start doing the early voting. As you heard
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: on the news, in New York State, 1.2 million have
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: already early voted. Now, the early voters tend to be
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. I don't know why, but Republicans like to
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: wait until Election Day. Maybe they're just more traditional. But
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Democrats are great with the early voting. Republicans, you've got
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to catch up. Get out there and vote early. Early voting,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: much easier, much better. No lines. You get it done.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: So do it. You can do it today in New York, tomorrow.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You can do it all week long or on the weekend.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Do the early voting. Around the country, it's up to
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: about 26 million people have already early voted. So get
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: out there and do it. A lot going on. There's
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a Fed meeting that starts today. It'll go for two days.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: We'll see if there's a raid hike. They've got everybody
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: out in the campaign trail. Vice President Vance will head
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to Michigan today. Rogers was a couple of points behind
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the crazy anti-Semitic El-Sayed. He's caught up. But they're pushing hard. Vance...
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: In Michigan again today, President Trump's headed to Texas this afternoon.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: He'll be in Corpus Christi, Texas, big rally. Then he'll
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: do another rally in Lubbock, Texas. He's like an energizer,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: bunny crazy, running around the country doing all this stuff.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Let's see, they're surveying people at the polling places. 44%
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: are voting Democrat. Again, that's the early vote. Oh, wait
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a minute. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Excuse me. I just saw
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it's a Marist poll. It's an NPR poll. It's a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: PBS poll. It means the metrics are slanted. It's totally rigged. So, sorry.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If they say 44% are voting Democrat, that means it's 34%
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: voting Democrat. And all these rigged polls, these college polls,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: these media polls, so rigged, so phony, all to suppress turnout.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That's the whole point of them. Do you remember that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: horrible road rage incident? That ex-cop runs, tries to run
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: this guy off the road, takes out his gun, shoots him,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: kills him. Very nice man, family man. And when it
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: was time to go to court, I guess because he's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: an ex-cop, the court officer snuck him in, snuck him out. Well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they finally got a photo of him. New York Post
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: just for the first time ever showed this guy's face.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: They caught him coming into a courthouse. And they got
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: him outside. They were in the right spot as he
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: got out of the car. It's the first photograph that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: been made public of him. And his name is Victor Romero.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He's 62, ex-cop. Was working for a big company, driving
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the CEO around. CEOs love to have ex-cops as drivers
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: because they got a gun. It's protection. They got a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: badge in case you need to, you know, get through
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a street that's closed or something like that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It works.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So he's been released on a million dollars bail. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it's the only photo. He did make a court appearance.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: They do have a photo. You want to see what
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: he looks like. New York Post just put it up.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: The Apple Duo, that's the foldable phone. More people complaining.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You know what? Stop whining. Use your regular phone. Use
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: this iPhone 18. It's perfect. You don't need to unfold
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it in them. If you want a screen that size,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: get the iPad Mini. It's perfect. Works better than the Duo. Hey,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: by the way, if you're going to get the iPhone Mini,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: hang on. Apparently there's a new one coming out. They're
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: going to unveil a whole new one, much improved one,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in a week or two. So hold off on that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Don't get it just yet. You know, they hate Elon Musk.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: They hate Elon Musk so much. He's done two things
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that Democrats... I think are despicable. One, he's donated to Republicans.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: The other thing, of course, is Doge. He tried to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: cut down government waste and fraud. And Democrats, well, Republicans too, Congress, government,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they love waste and fraud. It's the business model. You
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: give out huge contracts. You give them to unions, special
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: interest groups, donors. You tell them charges six times as much,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: take 10 times longer than usual. put more people on
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the job than you need. They do that in exchange
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: for donations, in exchange for whatever they need. But Musk
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: tried to bust up that government waste and fraud system.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You know, they got in these cabinet departments, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the state department, they got 27,000 people working there and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: nobody knows what the hell they do. So they hate Musk.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: They've been denouncing him, attacking him. And The other side
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of Musk is a genius. He's Ben Franklin. He's Thomas Edison.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: This guy's inventing stuff that's unbelievable. He perfected the electric car,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the Tesla. He's launching rockets into space. Remember when our
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: astronauts were stranded in the space station? We didn't know
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: how to get them down. Musk had to go up
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: there with his spaceships and get them down. He's perfected Starlink.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: That's going to be the future of communication. By the way,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: come back in 10 years, there'll be no cell towers anywhere.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It'll be all Starlink, which means perfect signal everywhere. No
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: dead zones. It'll all be coming from their satellites, the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: cell service. The data centers, the AI, the data centers,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it's all going to be in space. Thanks to Musk.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Musk is inventing flying cars. Musk is inventing and perfecting everything.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: It's like you're watching Thomas Edison. He's going to go
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: down in history as an incredible figure. But right now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Democrats are trying to destroy the guy. So they attack
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: him left and right. They want to prosecute him. Well, now, look,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: they're coming right out and saying it. This is Robert Reich.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Remember the Clinton guy, the little Clinton guy, Cabinet Secretary
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Robert Reich, who used to be quite the respectable, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: legitimate sort of a figure. But now he's gone crazy
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: with the rest of the Democrats. You know, they were
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: talking about defund Musk. He is now saying this is
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Robert Reich, major Democratic figure. He's saying the government should
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: seize Elon Musk's companies. He's not the only one. You're
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: going to hear more about this. Bernie Sanders, these types.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: This is going to be the new thing. They want
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the government to seize Starlink, to seize SpaceX, to actually
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: take control of Musk's companies. Reich says it should be
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a public corporation. We should never have that kind of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: power in one person's hands. Musk is trying to buy
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the Senate from Texas. Why should we allow this? Well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you're fine when Soros does it. You're fine when the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Democratic billionaire donors do it. They're buying elections all the time.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Reich says this is like what happened in the first
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Gilded Age when we had robber barons. Well, robber barons,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that's what they ended up calling the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But these are the guys that built the country, basically,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the railroads, everything. I say this is exhibit A in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: terms of a billionaire takeover of America. The oligarch problem.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Musk represents the power of oligarchy. But again, Soros has
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: given more money to politics than Musk ever has. Soros
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: has tampered with more things. Soros is the guy that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: funded these crazy DAs that let all the criminals loose.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Soros is the guy that funded and got all these
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: crazy secretaries of state elected. that got rid of voter
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: ID and all that stuff. He's done more to damage
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: American democracy than anybody in history. But Reich goes on
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to say, if we have a democratic administration and Democrats
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: ought to be starting this, not just with oversight hearings,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: but laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX, nationalize it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: That means the government sees it. Musk on Twitter replied,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Stealing companies is a very serious crime. Should be prison
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: for Robert Reich. Prison. It's also, you know, they yell Hitler, Nazi.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: This is what Hitler and Nazis do. They seize your company.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: They seize your property. Hey, this Bob Woodward is an
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: interesting character. You know, there was Woodward and Bernstein. And,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of course, Watergate and all of that. And then over
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the years, they split up. Carl Bernstein is kind of a,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, sort of a sleazy sort of a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: character to some people. Uh, Woodward is be, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: continued as a respectable Washington journalist, writing his books and everything. But, uh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: there's a side of Bob Woodward. A lot of people
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: don't trust him at all. You know, uh, remember how
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: he got into the CIA director, William Casey's hospital bed
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: as he was dying and got secret confessions out of it. Well,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: nobody believed that story. Casey was the CIA director, heavily guarded.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Nobody got into his hospital room. Like, so, People think,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think a lot of Woodward stuff
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: is made up. So he's written a new book. But
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: through the years, a guy like Woodward would have amazing
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: sources in Washington, D.C., people in government sources that tip
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: him off, leak stuff to him. All top journalists have that.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: So Woodward is writing. It's a new book. It's 600 pages.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It's called Secrets, A Reporter's Memoir. That's a hell of
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: an ego, 600 pages. Who the hell wants to read
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: 600 pages? But he does something I've never seen before.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: He reveals his sources. Woodward is 83 now, and many
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of the sources are now dead. They've all died. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: he's revealing who they are. You know, it's the one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: thing when you have a secret source, especially somebody in government,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you don't, you always protect their identity. Journalists go to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: prison over that to protect the identity of the source.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: He's revealing them. Now, there was that famous thing he
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: wrote about the final days of Nixon and the White House,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: how Nixon was drunk, wandering around. At one point, he
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: made Henry Kissinger get on his knees with him, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: they both prayed. It was a very strange scene that
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Woodward reported. He's now revealing it was two of Kissinger's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: deputies who leaked it to him, Brent Scowcroft and Lawrence Eagleburg.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: These are top government officials. Now, they're all dead. The
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: problem is you got to trust Woodward. These guys are
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: all dead. They can't deny it. They're not around to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: say it's not true. But in the book, Woodward says Scowcroft,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: very respected figure, national security advisor, Gerald Ford and Bush Sr.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Woodward says the guy was a secret source for 35 years.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: He was leaking stuff to me. Woodward also says, back
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to the Nixon days, Watergate, all that, two of Nixon's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: defense lawyers, Fred Buzzhardt, Leonard Garment, remember those names, were
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: secret sources revealing stuff to him. But again, These poor
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: guys are dead. They can't deny this stuff. So who knows?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: You got to trust Woodward that this is true. He
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: also says Stanley Sporkin, CIA general counsel. These are big
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: government figures. Was an important special source leaking stuff. Sam Dash,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you remember him? He was the Senate Watergate Committee. Woodward
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: claims he was a leaker. Secret source giving him stuff. C.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Boyden Gray is a very distinguished guy. Washington figure, I mean,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a real swamp guy, but he was White House counsel,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: George H.W.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Bush.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Woodward says during the Bush presidency and vice presidency, he
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: was leaking stuff to Woodward. But again, I don't know.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: These guys aren't around to deny it. Woodward could be
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: just making that up. And even if it's true, why
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: would you reveal that these guys were leaking stuff? I mean,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: these guys are... they got families they got kids they
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: got I mean why would you do that why leak
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: that out hey don't forget coming up Saturday night it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Halloween Saturday night but also we go off daylight saving
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: time Saturday night starting Sunday it'll be dark out at
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: 5 o'clock and soon 4.30 we go off daylight saving
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: time Saturday night at 2 in the morning it becomes
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: 1 a.m. so you'll gain an hour of sleep Saturday
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: night hey Bill Maher saying what we've been saying, that if, if,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: it's a big if, but let's say the Democrats win
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the House, win the Senate, take over Congress. He says
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that will ruin them for 2028 because they'll, according to Maher,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: they'll learn all the wrong lessons. They'll start holding hearings
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: every second on everybody. They'll investigate Trump's grandchildren. They'll impeach Trump.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: They'll shut down drilling. They'll do all kinds of crazy things.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And that will kill any chance they have in 2028.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: It will guarantee a Republican president. So if, if, if
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Democrats win everything, that's one bright side. Also, remember, here's
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a big article here. These left-wingers are already writing, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: if Trump loses the midterms, if the midterms are all Democrats,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that's the end of the Trump era. That's it. Well,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: first of all, every president loses the House and the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Senate in the midterms. It always happens, especially in the
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: second term. It's tradition. Nobody ever said, well, that's the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: end of Obama. That's the end of Clinton. But things
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: are different. Double standard. It's Trump. Anyway, we've got a
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: lot to get to. We'll take some calls next. We
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: love having new callers. If you never called before, give
• 14:33

  Speaker 7: ingredients in potato chips.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: You were right and he was right. I checked out
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: the soup. The original lays are just potatoes, salt, and oil.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: But the other ones were all different flavors. They have
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: all sorts of stuff. So you were right about that.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not me. You just got to check. There
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: is such a thing as healthy potato chips, potatoes, salt, oil.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: But most of them have tons and tons of chemicals
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: in them.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: All the ones with flavors and stuff like that, yeah.

  Speaker 7: Like, I used to live down on 184th Street.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: On St. Barnabas Hospital. And that area's changed, you know.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: But also Avenue 187th Street. You know, they're nice. A
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: lot of good businesses there. Restaurants, bakeries.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for calling. Let's go to Lorenzo in Connecticut. Lorenzo,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, Lorenzo.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Hey, you're a really good sport. I listened to you
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: when you guest hosted for Sean Hannity. Yeah. He's a
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: great American, and you're not bad yourself. But I have
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: to admit.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: What's the problem?
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Why did he get married, Ken?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The poor guy. What the hell did
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: he do? I don't know. Some people like to be married.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Some people.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Well, my first reaction when I hear that so-and-so is
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: getting married is on purpose.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a good point. That's a good point.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to a wedding, the women are crying.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They're so happy. They're crying. I feel so bad for
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: the guy. Like, I feel like he's going to prison
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: or something. Whoever's getting married, you know? And then there's
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: that old story about the wedding night, the honeymoon, the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: wedding night. He says to her, tell me, am I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the first? And she says, why has everybody asked that?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: More and more people staying single. It's interesting. Less and
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: less people getting married. Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, Mark.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: How are you, sir?
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Let me check.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: Anyway, I'm just calling because You know, I keep hearing
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: about the midterms being a disaster for the Republicans, but
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: they don't really ever look back to the midterms of
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: 2022 when they said there was going to be this.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Big red wave.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: And it didn't materialize because we had pretty crappy candidates
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: back then. And now it's going to be a blue wave.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what?
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: The Democrats have a lot of crappy candidates, too.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: I don't see this wave happening.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me hoping.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: This is all put out there to discourage you from voting.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: The fake rigged polls are called suppression polls to make
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you think it's hopeless so you stay at home. Don't
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: listen to any of them. Right now, it looks like
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the Republicans will keep the Senate. Right now, the House
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: is too close to call. It's all going to be
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: about turnout. Don't believe these fake college polls, these fake
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: media polls. The metrics in them are so rigged. That
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: college poll last week, the sample was 80 80 80
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: 80 percent democrats in the sample and they didn't use
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the voter rolls it was a terrible poll so don't
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: fall for that right now it's deadlocked as far as
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: nobody can predict the house it could go either way
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: it's all about turnout republicans if you turn out you'll
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: win if this big republican turnout definitely will win let's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: go to tom point pleasant new jersey.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Good morning, Mark.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Mark, why do you suppose it's called the World Series
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: when only two nations are represented?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Well, for years it was one nation. It sounds good.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It sounds good, the World Series.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the same with the NBA. They claim to be
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the world champions. I like to see it more like
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the Little League World Series where they play a lot
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: of different countries.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I hate when they play other countries.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, really? Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Who the hell... I want to see him play the
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Red Sox from Boston. I don't want to see him
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: play Peru or Finland. Who wants to see that?
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to see him because most of the
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: players in the NBA and the baseball are from other countries.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why they consider it a world championship.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I know, but they all come here, you'll notice. I
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: don't know. You're right. It's not the World Series. But
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I hate when you watch the Olympics or soccer. That's
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the problem with soccer. It's... It's Norway versus Chile. Who
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the hell am I supposed to root for? I mean,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. It's different if it's like the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: World Series now. It's Tampa Bay and Milwaukee. I don't know.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: So you get into that National League versus American League,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: whatever fan you are. But, you know, just keep it American.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Keep it American. But it looks like the World Series
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: could be over tonight.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: It's 3-0.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: It looks like the most lopsided series ever. Hey, when
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: we come back, Bill O'Reilly. We'll talk to him next
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR. Mark Simone.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Well, Bill O'Reilly, the number one TV anchor for decades.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: He's the number one best-selling nonfiction author on earth. You
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: should get his latest book, Confronting America. fascinating book. It's
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: probably the best one he's written so far. Confronting America
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: is available right now. Go to Amazon. You can get
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it there. You can get his new podcast. We'll do
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: it live. You can get the TV show, the column.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: You can get everything at Bill O'Reilly.com. Go to his website,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill O'Reilly, how you doing?
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm trying to digest the Cato report says
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Kathy Ogle's the worst governor in the country.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: It's quite an.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: Honor.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I think anybody could top Pritzker in Illinois, but apparently,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: according to.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Cato, Ms. Vogel does. But it doesn't mean.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Anything, of course, because the voters are casting their ballots
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: with emotion, not in a rational way. But it is
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: pretty chilling that we're the highest state in the union
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: as far as taxes are concerned. And now, This agency,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: which is not a conservative, it's a libertarian agency, Cato, says, look,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: nothing works in New York, and the governor sits there,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: and things get worse and worse and worse, so she
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: is the worst out of the 50.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, so she's been declared worst governor in America.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: This will be the least covered story in New York,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: of course, by the media.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Right, I know.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Although the Blakeman people should run... you know, a spot
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: or two on this. However, I think people's minds are
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: made up at this point. You know, it's a week away,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: and I don't know if there's too many undecided people
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: floating around in New York right now.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Obama on the campaign trail, getting into quite
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: a verbal battle with Donald Trump. Is Obama effective on
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the campaign trail?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: African-Americans like him.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: He can pull boats out in Michigan for Al-Said.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: The thing about Barack Obama is his evolution.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: And I've covered you guys in the very beginning when
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I had that kind of brawl with his body man
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: up in New Hampshire. I don't know if you remember that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: But it is in my book, Confronting America. The guy
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: tried to block us from shooting it. Then-Senator Obama was
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: up for a rally. This is a big guy, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: he kept moving in front of my cameraman. And I
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: politely at first told him to stop it, and he wouldn't.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So I had to take vigilante action, which I did.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: And it's a funny story. But Obama back then was
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: not who Obama is now. And that always fascinates me.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: So Trump and Obama, they don't like each other, but
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: interestingly enough, when they're together in person, they yuck it up.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, you remember the few times they.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: Were at memorial services and everything?
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They're not brawling or pouting or looking away. But
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: when former President Obama went down to Florida to endorse
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: this Angie Nixon thing, uh... who is a full blown
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: communist that gave me pause you know i'm going to
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: is it just about opportunism for you because you got
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: four lavish homes and angie wants to seize at least
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: two of them what are you doing you know but
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: there's never a question to barack obama from the press
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: about his evolution from kind of a left-wing mainstream guy
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: And now he's endorsing communists and Islamists. Al-Said is not
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: a communist. He's an Islamist. And Obama is endorsing both
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: of those people. It kind of surprised me.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. When he went after President Trump's decorating, let's be honest,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's going to take a picture of
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office and say to their decorator, hey, do
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: this for me. I want this. But it's his own taste.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: But when he went after the Cheesecake Factory, did that
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: show how out of touch he is with normal America?
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: It's a joke.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And I was in the Oval Office myself three weeks ago.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: It looks great.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm not a gaudy guy. I'm not a gold guy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: But it looked great to me.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: And I was in the Oval Office when Barack Obama
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: was president. It looked good then. But it spruced up.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: in Trump's style, but that was just a joke, a one-liner.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, the luckiest people on Earth are the Cheesecake
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Factory people, right? Now everybody's running in. They should have
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: an Obama and Trump special.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Every day, the Cheesecake people. Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: So I don't take any of that seriously. You'll find
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: this interesting, Simone, because you follow this stuff.
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I told my staff this morning enough with the social
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: media cranks on both sides.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Enough. I don't want to hear about them.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I don't care what they say. It doesn't matter to
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: the country. They're just trying to do it to get
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: attention and money, sell ads or whatever, give speeches. I
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: don't want to even, I don't want you guys to
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: even present it to me, no matter how bizarre it is.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. It's a con, okay?
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I know all these.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: People personally, all of them, and I know why they're
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: doing what they're doing, and it doesn't matter. What matters
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: is corruption at the government level, like Alaska. Alaska, when
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: you sneak a name onto a ballot, the same name
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: as a Republican running for.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: The Senate, who did that? Who snuck the name on there?
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: The guy's an ex-school teacher. He hasn't done one event.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: His name is Dan Sullivan, and Dan Sullivan is the
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: name of the principal GOP guy on the ballot. Who
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: did it? Well, the media doesn't want to know who
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: did it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: They have no interest at all.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: And the Justice Department is now getting involved to find
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: out how this could possibly happen.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That's a good story. That's corruption.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: And of course, you know, you put on CNN and it's, oh,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: look at Trump's doing. Yeah, that's Trump's job to root
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: out corruption. Okay, you got it? Oh, that just gets
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: me crazy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You used to work at CBS News. Do you ever
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: think you'd live to see the day where they don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: investigate major stories?
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yes, I have to answer honestly. And I have
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: that big story in Confirming America, what has to change,
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: about me and Dan Rather. I saw it up close,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: eye to eye. I saw the corruption. I knew what
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Rather was trying to do, and I left.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I left the job.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I went to Boston, and I just couldn't work there
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: and now when I worked at ABC because I came
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: back to New York at Rune Arledge's request I didn't
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: that was not in play there then there were Jennings
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: wouldn't do that but rather did it from the jump
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: and And so to answer your question, yeah, I saw it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: And then it got worse and worse and worse and
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: worse at CBS.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Cronkite, he was a left-wing guy, but he tried
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: to keep the slant down to a minimum.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was a World War II guy. All those
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: guys who trained in World War II in Europe, Murrow and.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Cronkite, they were all there, and they had rules for
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the road is what we do. They're all liberal guys,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: all of them.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: But that's okay.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: That's all right.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: As long as you're not trying to impose or twist
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the news in a certain.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Way to benefit your own belief system, it's fine.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: But what Rather did was he wanted to impose his
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: view of the world and the country on every single
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: individual at CBS News. And I'm not standing for it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: And I wasn't even, I was a reporter. I was
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: a commentator back then. I was covering the wars. But
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: what they did to me and others was awful, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: that's why I have that chapter in Confronting America about it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so rather, he really was the father of modern-day
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: fake news. He really opened up this can of worms
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: for everybody.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm 95 years old now, and he's still pushing
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the left agenda.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Still doing it. And as you may remember, he got booted.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Out of CBS because he dealt with fake documents about
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Bush the Younger's National Guard service. And I wasn't surprised
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: they caught him because he was so blatant about it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: It was so obvious. So anyway, look, we're in a
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: bad place. But the good news is that there are
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: outlets where you can get the truth.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: In the media and in social media.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: But a lot of people, they just hear this stuff
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: and they believe it. And, oh boy, the affordability thing
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: is the best. The affordability thing. You think the Democratic
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Party is going to make your life more affordable?
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Do you really believe that?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: When for the past.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: 50 years, that party has done nothing but raise taxes
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: on when there was the big tax-cutting bill, the big
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: beautiful bill, not one Democrat in Congress voted for it,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: and you think that these people are going to make
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: your wallet heavier? And when I hear and see that,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I just think the person is either brainwashed or stupid.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, because we.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: We all live in New York now and in Jersey
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: and Connecticut, the highest taxed states in the union.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Because they're controlled by Democrats.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly, we're out of time. But if you want
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to read a fascinating book, get his latest book, Confronting America.

  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly, thanks. Take care. Talk to you soon. Yeah,
