• 1:30
  Speaker 1: stock is going up. But also, you know, Nelson Peltz
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: has been a pretty smart investor, buying companies here and there.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So when he showed this great interest, a bunch of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: other companies now looking at Wendy's. All of a sudden,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's a takeover target. A lot of people looking at it,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: hoping to get control of it. Hey, let's take some calls. $ 800.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: 321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. Let's go to Kathy in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. Kathy, how are you doing?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. It's always great to hear you. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: want to talk about polling. I know you always have
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that fabulous guest on who is the expert on polling.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Well, no, he's just the best pollster in the world.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: He's the one the candidates use behind the scenes.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He's the real one. Okay, so there's different kinds of polls,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I guess. Like when you're a candidate and you privately
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: hire a polling company to tell you how your numbers
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: are doing, that's what he does, correct?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: No, what it is, the public polls are the most tiny, frivolous,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: junk polls. They do maybe 500 people, 800 people. They
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just call whoever the hell they want. A public poll,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the one at the college, these things cost $ 3, 000, $ 4, 000
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to do. The real polls, it's like a million dollars
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a month a candidate will pay for them. They're deadly accurate.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They use 20, 30, 40,000 people scientifically chosen to represent exactly.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: That you're hiring somebody at a million dollars or whatever
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to do this private polling. You're not obligated to tell
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the truth about the polling. Like I could say, oh,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the polling says that I'm ahead and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Like there's no, or are you even telling anybody?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We played a clip earlier of Hochul out and out lying.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: She's got these private polls. She has them. She sees
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that it's deadlocked now. They're both within the margin. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: she keeps lying. The public polls are great. How could
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: anybody attack them?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But is it illegal for her to do that?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: No.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm wondering.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Illegal for a candidate to lie?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: No.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, I just feel like there should be some
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: kind of overhaul of all these polling things because we
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: keep on talking about you can't trust the polls, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: then you do the polls, and then you say you can't.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Trust the polls. It's not even the fault of the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: polling companies. I could show you the metrics, and you'd say, oh,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: my God, it's totally rigged. You could show this to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the New York Times. You could show this to everybody
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: on TV. And they'll keep quoting these polls as if
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they're real. They know they're not real. They know they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: suppression polls.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I wanted to tell you in North Carolina that they
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: did a kind of sneaky thing. I call it reverse
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: psychology in the Senate race here. When I did start
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to notice kind of a manipulation, whereas Cooper's campaign wrote saying...
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: The polls say that he's behind when they didn't really
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: say that. He's behind, so don't believe that. You guys
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: get out.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's a suppression poll.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It was reverse psychology.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. But don't believe it at all. Hey, Israel's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a good example. They did this crap in Israel, putting
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: out these polls. Bibi has no chance. He's 1,000 points behind.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Bibi can't win. 50 points behind, a million points behind.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Look what happened. Absolutely deadlocked. It's two days later. He's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: still so close he can't even tell. Polls were totally
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: wrong because they were rigged. Now, a lot of times
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you'll see some of these fake polls. The night before,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they'll unrig it. At the last second, it'll suddenly be
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a real poll. And that way, they can later claim, hey,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we got it right. We got it right. They forget
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to mention it was only the last hour before the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: campaign was over. They got it right. Let's go to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Bob in Florida. Bob, how are you doing?
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I'm doing well, Mr. New York. How are you doing today?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: How's the weather today?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It's 60 and sunny. It's beautiful. How's the flooding down there?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Where are you in Florida?
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Hey, I'm on the west side of Florida.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. On the east coast, they've got terrible flooding everywhere.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: King of floods. King tides. The tides are so high.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They flooded Miami. They flooded Fort Lauderdale. They're flooding Palm Beach.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: They said fish were swimming down the street, but I
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: didn't really pay attention.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: That's okay. Don't worry. The alligators will eat them.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, or the 20-foot Burmese pythons.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a wonderful state. If you like snakes and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: alligators and lizards, it's the place to be.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Another thing, if you want to live in a sauna,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: come on down here, okay? Because the humidity here is
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: beyond imaginable. I want to talk about the weather on Saturday, though. Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: What I should have said was, when you said it
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: was 60 on Sunday, perfect weather for early voting.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Bruce Blakeman needs to get people in the city to
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: vote Friday or Saturday in the nice weather because you've
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: got the marathon on Sunday. It's going to follow everything up.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: You won't be able to go anywhere.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Well, this is New York. Unlike Florida, where you've got
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to get in your car and drive half an hour everywhere,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: this is New York. Wherever you live, there's a polling
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: place a couple blocks away you can easily walk to. Well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that's New York.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Before I was in Las Vegas, they had the marathon.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I rode the bus.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: We had to take about a half-hour detour. around the strip,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: around the airport to come back up to Tropicana so
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I could go and play poker.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Are you one of those poker players?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Anyway, uh, uh, yeah, if I had money, I'd be
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: a poker player.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: What is the thrill? I got kicked out of the,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what is the thrill of sitting in a dark room
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the day playing cards when you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: could be out in the sun and fun?
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, I don't want to say it's like
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: homo club, but it's like homo club. All these guys
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: giggling and laughing, trying to get their money. But, uh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I can say that. You're trying
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: to get their money.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's great. Thanks for calling. These guys with
• 7:20

• 7:22
  Speaker 1: not like you go, oh, let me play for 20 minutes.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: They sit there for 11 hours. They go to Las Vegas.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It's a dark, you're in a casino in the middle
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of the day. There's no windows. They sit there for
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: like 18 hours playing cards. Two days in a row,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: then they come home. How was Las Vegas? It was great.
• 7:38

  Speaker 2: How are you today?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm good. What's going on in St. Louis?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I just wanted to say that Obama commenting on...
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Trump's architectural taste when his library looks like R2-D2 crossbred
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: with a kitchen trash can is more than a little ironic.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very good point. Excellent point. I forgot
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to mention that. Besides Obama criticizing Trump's decorating, the other
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: arguing against him, he's the last guy on Earth who should.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: ever talk about decor since he is now credited with
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: building the single ugliest building in the history of america
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: his predated presidential library is so ugly a lot of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the houses that around that park are actually suing because

• 8:44
  Speaker 1: go to uh let's go to brendan in ulster county

  Speaker 4: Thank you for taking my call. Hey, I appreciate all
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: you do. You make me feel good about and optimistic
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: about all the negativity going on out there, you know?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I really appreciate that. I just want to let you
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: know that Obama stole that joke from Trump himself. Trump
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: was on Saturday Night Live in 2006 in a skit,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: and there was one of the actors was playing him,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: and he was playing a janitor, and they were twins,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: kind of like a Prince and the Pauper thing, and
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the the actor playing Trump was the president of his
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: business and asked Trump the janitor what he thought of
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: his office. He said, well, it looks like the inside
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: of one of Saddam Hussein's castles. So he stole it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: No, the Saddam Hussein part is fine. That's okay as
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a joke. But Obama didn't seem to understand what Cheesecake
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Factory really means to people. He was using it as
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: if it's some cheap, crummy place, not realizing most people
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Consider the Cheesecake Factory upscale and a fine-looking place. And
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: if you go to a Cheesecake Factory, it's not tacky looking.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It's pretty nice looking in a cheesecake factory. Yeah, that's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the good old days. Remember when they loved, they loved
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: President Trump at Saturday Night Live. They loved him at NBC.
• 10:07
