Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now on the Voice of New York. It's the Mark
Simone Show on seven to ten.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Wor Well, it was quite a mere old debate last night.
We will get to that. We'll go over in great detail.
We'll get to the latest meltdown from the Democrats, the
trumped arrangement syndrome has them going nuts over the White
House ballroom. This is but the weirdest, most bizarre meltdown

(00:29):
they've had so far. We'll get to Ice in New York,
and we'll get to Robert de Niro and a whole
lot more coming up. Last night's debate was much better
than the first debate. It was New York one, which
a lot of most people don't see, and it was
Erl Lewis as the most biased, the left wing guy

(00:50):
in the world. Everybody thinking he should have accused himself,
but he was good, he behaved himself and he was
better than those Channel four moderators. He let people talk,
so good job. And then the other one was that
the Brian Lear It's very very left wing sort of
guys doing this, but they were good, they behaved themselves
and it was a well done debate. Now, who won

(01:11):
the debate? Well Curtis was the best. There was no
question about that. If he just went on content, Curtis
clearly way ahead of him. But but a lot of
people think Clomo won the debate because he's usually terrible
in debates. He's not a good debater, and he stinks
in these debates. In the first two debates he had

(01:34):
with Mom Donnie, the primary debates, he was just awful.
But last night he surprised everybody. Was pretty good in
the debate. He wasn't as good as Curtis on content,
but in style and confidence, he's learning to talk a
little faster. Last night he surprised everybody, and some analysts
actually think he won, even though Curtis was better and

(01:56):
content wise, he won by not stinking, by actually holding
his own with Mom Donnie. Curtis had the best lines
in the debate.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I get a good belly laughs. All right, I'll keep practice.
I get a good belly laugh every time I hear
you say free fair in the subways. Half the people
don't pay anyway. How about fair enforcement?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now, the problem with these debates, it's three people. If
it were two debates, you know, you think back to
Hillary and Trump. You think back to The one debate
that absolutely turned a race around. That was Reagan against Carter.
Reagan was on track to lose. He just wiped out
Carter in that debate. And it was but the key
to that was it was two people. It was one

(02:42):
on one. When you put three people in there, it
changes the whole mix. And the moderators were very careful
to try to keep the spotlight off Curtis. They focused
on Cuomo. They focused on Mom Donnie as if they
were the two major party candidates. Remember it's Cuomo who's
the third party candidate. It's Sliwa who's the major party candidate.
He's the Republican candidate. Mom Donnie's the Democratic candidate. Should

(03:05):
have been the two of them head to head. They
put Cuomo in even though he's a third party candidate,
because he's high in the polls. But it kind of
screws up the debate for Curtis. You don't get either.
They just tried not to give him too much time.
But every time they went to him, he was great
content wise, position wise, issues wise. Most voters would agree
with Curtis, so on content he won. But Cuomo surprised everybody,

(03:28):
but not being as bad as he usually is in debates,
he's more Curtis.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
I've taken this subway almost every day of my life
since I was five. The worst time was the summer
of twenty seventeen, the summer of hell.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Angewel Cuomo, when you were running.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
The subway, says, stuffs ahead.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Of the I don't trust you with anything.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well that's a good point. I don't know how much
that registered with everybody. But when Cuomo was governor, the
governor runs the subways. The MTA is controlled by the governor.
It's his chairman. He has the most seats on the board.
And twenty seventeen Cuomo screwed up the subways. I don't
know if you remember that, but all the subways were
late trains can't It was a real mess. The reason

(04:10):
for that is he was trying to score political points
with the subway by putting all the money into new cars,
new trains. Remember you would depose with the look at
this new train car, state of the art car. What
He completely screwed up the subway system by using it
as a piggy bank to take money out of there.
So they didn't have enough money, and it got so

(04:31):
bad and the outcry was so huge. He had a
beg Joe Loader to come back. The old MTA commissioner,
who's the best guy at fixing the subways. He came
back right away and I talked to him privately about it,
and he told me the real problem when you drain
the money out of there, use it as a piggy
bank for other projects. They're not spending the money where
it needs to be spent. You don't want to spend

(04:53):
it on new subway cars. It's not what you need.
Most important thing, pumps, switches, fans, the things that the
trains run for little stuff. So Loda put that all back.
It took a few months, but he got the subways
back to normal. But Cuomo did screw it up back then.
He made a lot of disastrous moves as governor. That's
the problem now. The opening of the debate was great,

(05:15):
Mam Donnie, really, Mam Donnie. As summer argument didn't have
a great night because he had to be evasive on
a lot of things, some of his more controversial stuff.
So he was evasive a lot through the debate. But
he's slick and he's a fast talker, and me, you
talk really fast. People might not notice how evasive you are,
but he really went after Cuomo.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Andrew Cuomo will spend much of tonight attacking me.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
He is a.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Desperate man lashing out because he knows that the one
thing he's always cared about, power is now slipping away
from him.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well yeah, if he doesn't win this, I don't know
where he goes next. Of course, they kept hitting Mam
Donnie on experience.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I did think.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
You have never had a job, You've never accomplished anything.
There's no reason to believe you have any merit or
qualified care.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
For eight and a half million lives.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
You don't know how to run a government, you don't
know how to handle an emergency.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
The issue is that we have all experienced your experience.
The issue is that we experienced you take me five
million dollar book deal while you sent seniors to their
deaths and nursing homes.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, that's the problem with Culomo's argument. He was good
last night. But when you say, you know, you gotta
have experience, what if there's a health crisis, Well, we
had one of the Cuomo and he was terrible. He
was awful. He killed people in the nursing homes, and
you know, when it comes to crime, he really screwed
up our criminal system with his no bail, no jail
and all that stuffy. But he's right about mom, Donnie.

(06:38):
We've never ever ever elected somebody who's twelve years old,
only been a citizen five minutes, never had a job.
It's unheard of. As Curtis said last night, sure on.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Your resume could fit on a cocktail, napkin and angel.
Your failures could fill a public school library in New
York City.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's a good point. But it was quite a debate.
Trump was an issue for somehow in this debate.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I will fight him every single step of the way.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
He has no respect for him. He thinks he's a kid,
and he's gonna knock him on his tookas.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
So, but Curtis got very emotional at some point. You know,
Mamdanie obviously would stink on crime. We saw Cuomo was
really bad on crime as governor, the no bail, no jail,
the closing the prisons, the taking away the qualified immunity
from cops. So Curtis got very emotional there.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
So how can both of you look at me?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
I almost launched my oldest son to gang violence. And
the perpetrators went to family court and got a little
pet on the wrist and was sent.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Home to do it again and again.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah. I mean, it's a great moments in that debate.
If you haven't seen it, it's on YouTube, you can
you can go watch it. There as more on Trump,
and we first just.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Heard from the Republican candidate for mayor, and then we
heard from Donald Trump's puppet himself, Andrew Cuomo. You could
turn on TV any day of the week and you
will hear Donald Trump share that his pick for mayor
is Andrew Cuomo. And he wants Andrew Cuomo to be
the mayor, not because it will be good for New Yorkers,
but because it will be good for him.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Now, Trump's not an Andrew Cuomo fan, but he just
doesn't like Curtis. He's never like Curtis. He doesn't like Curtis.
He's also remember he's far away. He's not here in
New York watching everything day and night. He's in Washington.
He's president. He's very busy, so he's not real up
close on this election. But he just thinks Cuomo's the

(08:36):
better shot, and that's why he's been pushing Cuomo. And
when you see these guys out there like Bill Ackman
and these other billionaires. Bill Ackman's a good example. They're
all out there fighting for Cuomo. The reason is this
is Trump. Trump is using them to do this. Trump
is on the phone with guys like Bill Ackman day
and night. He's had them come down to Washington for lunch,
for dinner. He's pressuring them like crazy to get Curtis

(08:59):
out of the race. Do everything they can, and they're
doing this. They're really going crazy trying to get Curtis out.
It's not because they care that much about the about Cuomo.
It's just they want to ingratiate themselves with Trump. They
needs other stuff from Trump. So he's been really pushing them,
really pushing them for weeks now. From what I've heard
last night and the night before in conversations, he's starting

(09:22):
to admit and in fact, earlier this week he started admitting,
I don't know if Cuomo's not a great candidate. I
don't know if Cuomo can do it. So he might
be easing the pressure on these guys, but we'll see again.
Cuomo had a good night last night. Good night. He
was strong in the debate.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
And I also know that the jobs we create in
the building of that housing should be good jobs as well.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
So what is your opinion? Come on, yes, what is
your opinion? Yes? So true a politician, He got it.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
They're pointing out what I was about to the question.
My question to you was do you support the three
ballid amendment questions?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I have not yet taken a position on those ballot
question What a shocker.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now that was the problem a few times, several times
on a ballot issue or some issue, he just wouldn't
take a position. Now in New York you got things
like New York one or Channel four that they're the
most left wing, bias slanted. So the problem is they
won't be all over him. They should be following him
around demanding he said he needs to think about it.

(10:30):
They should be demanding you think about it and give
him an answer. They should be all over the campaign
demanding an answer. But again they're very slanted. They won't
do it.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Here's what he says, that taking five years to build
affordable housing is the sign of an incompetent government. By
his own words, that means he must have led an
incompetent government.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
The governor doesn't build housing in New York City, not
if it's you.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
It's a good point, you know, if the problem is
lack of housing, if the problem is affordability, well, Democrats
have been running the whole place for fifteen years. They've
been controlling the legislature or the city Council, the mayor's office,
city Hall, the governors. They controlled everything. So if it's
such a crisis, get rid of them, get another party,
try somebody else.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
There are jurisdictions.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
The governor doesn't pick up trash, he doesn't run.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
The fire department. That's what the mayor does.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
The mayor bills housing.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
The state allocates funding for localities, and I allocated more
funding for housing than any governor in the history of
the State.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Of New York.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, you know, but again he yells all this stuff.
But if that's the case, how come we have such
a crisis.

Speaker 6 (11:37):
You have never had a job, You've never accomplished anything.
There's no reason to believe you have any merit or
qualification for eight and a half million lives. You don't
know how to run a government, you don't know how
to handle an emergency, and you've literally never proposed a
bill on anything that you're now talking about in your campaign.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
All right, but so you hear that. What was good
last night? He had a good debate. He was very good,
not like the slow talker from the first debates in
the primary, he just was awful against Mom Donnie. Mom
Donnie just wiped him out. But he was good last night.
He had a good night. So we'll see if that doesn't.
You know, one of the big problems with this race,
we haven't had any polling at all. You know, you

(12:19):
see it sometimes in the news, you'll see some poll.
It's just some junk poll, some college poll, some tiny
polling company, nobody ever heard of. These aren't These are
totally worthless, These poles. I wouldn't trust them for a second.
A couple of them done by Cuomo people disguised, you know,
as somebody else, but I wouldn't. So we have never
had any real polling in the last few weeks, and

(12:40):
we've had no polling after the first debate or the
second debate, so we really don't know anything. Kind of
flying blind, So we'll see what happened. You know, what's
interesting all the people that are pushing Cuomo, you know,
the Bill ackmant, gotta get Cuomo. We can't have down
we got. They don't like Cuomo at all. You don't
think much of them. They don't think he'd be great.
It's just that they hate Mam Donnie. They just think

(13:02):
Mom Donnie is so bad. We'll settle. We'll settle for Cuomo,
who you can't stand. And Cuomo was on the morning
show this morning here at w R. He was here
and he admitted to that. Listen to him, talk to
Larry Mente. He actually admitted, nobody really likes him. They
just hate Mam Donnie Moore.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
If you're saying you will only vote for me because
you dislike Zoron Moore, it's not flattering.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, well there you go, no kidding. Anyway, we got.
We'll get back to the mirror debate. Well, we've got
lots to say about it. We'll get to that. We'll
get to we'll get to the ballroom meltdown. It's hysterical
this and it's a silly thing for Democrats. They're going
crazy over the ballroom. You know, they destroyed the East Wing.

(13:58):
They're taking down part of the East but they'll put
it right back with a ballroom attached to it. And
I don't know why they're doing this because it's not
like the federal government building. And if the government built it,
this ballroom would take ten fifteen years. This is Trump
building it. He'll have it finished in four or five months,
and it will look magnificent. It looks so beautiful that

(14:19):
you'll sound nuts that you were complaining about it. You know,
you know what's in the east wing. You know, you
saw they knocked down the wall and half the east wing.
You know what that was. You know what's in the
East wing? Nothing? Really, it's it does have the first
Lady's office in it, but that's two three rooms. You know,
you can move that to somewhere else in the building
very easily. But what's the big stuff in the east wing.

(14:40):
The biggest thing in there is the calligraphy office. Seriously,
it's a big, huge calligraphy center and that's where they
do the place cards for the dinner and the invitations.
So that's what got knocked out there. But this is nothing,
This construction nothing compared to what's been done in the
White House before nineteen forty eight. Truman gutted the entire

(15:03):
White House, literally gutted it. All that was left was
the exterior walls. They gutted the entire White House and
rebuilt it. So but there's a million check out my Twitter.
There's a picture up there of like twelve different times,
twelve different presidents where you see massive wrecking balls and
cranes tearing up parts of the White House. Done all
the time. But anyway, we'll get back to that. We'll

(15:24):
take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
time and tap the preset button.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Now.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now back to the Mark Simon Show on wor.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Diane in Illinois. Diane,
how you doing.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
I'm doing good, Mark, good morning.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
Hey.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
You know I was looking at the price tag that'll
bollow you his fa port three hundred and seventy six million,
and that's the basketball court. Trump is building a nine
hundred seat ballroom for three hundred million. What would Obama's
basketball court, what would that translate into money wise in
the year twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, No, Trump is always pointing that out when the
government builds a building like that new terminal at LaGuardia,
twenty four billion private sector. If they had done it
eight hundred million. They just overspent. Like Trump said in
the they said how much would a wall cost on
the border, and he said whatever, he said one two billion,

(16:31):
and he pointed to the Senator. He goes, twelve billion
if these guys did it. Yeah, Obama spent exactly three
hundred and eighty million to build a basketball court. And
Trump dies, but.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
I guess, but in my what would three hundred and
seventy six million translate into dollars in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Probably four hundred and fifty million, So like half a
billion dollars to build a basketball court. Thanks for calling, Diane.
You know it's the same thing. This is all started
a million years ago with the woman rink, member of
the woman rank. The city was up till like twenty
five million. This is back in the eighties. That's like
one hundred million today. So and it went on for
years and Trump finally spoke out public. He said, it's

(17:10):
just a slab of concrete. It doesn't cost anything. He
got no fight with Koch, and Trump said, I'll build
it in a few weeks for a few hundred thousand,
I'll pay for it. And then Koch called his bluff
and he did it. That's the difference between government doing
something in the private sector. Let's go to Christine in
Long Island. Christine, how you doing?

Speaker 9 (17:31):
But wait a minute, my market, I've listened to you
for decades.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Oh my god, Well, I hope you were taking time
out for meals and everything.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yes, okay.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
My question is this, and what has Juran Mandami's done
as an assemblyman? He was in for five years I believe,
and months ago I heard that he posted one bill,
but I don't know if it ever passed.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
No, he did nothing there, but that's not unusual most
of these assembly people. It's like part time work for them.
They show up once in a while, most of them
don't do much of anything.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
Voters take this up.

Speaker 9 (18:07):
Last month, a voter called in from Idaho, saying, what
has this man done? Nobody talks about what has he
actually done?

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Well, imagine if you had actual, actual media instead of biased,
corrupt media, they would be covering this constantly. Where are
you in Long Island?

Speaker 9 (18:25):
I'm in Rock Oh.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
You're gonna vote for Bruce Blakeman I hope absolutely all right.
And Ann Donnelly's running for DA. Bruce Blakeman the best
county executive in America. Make sure you vote for him.
Let's go to Denise and Staten Island. Denise, how you doing?

Speaker 10 (18:42):
Holy good morning?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Moore, tell you good.

Speaker 10 (18:45):
I wanted to ask you if you could point out
that at last night's debate. First of all, I'm a
big supporter of Courteslila, and I will be early voting
for him Saturday morning. I'm on the South Shore area
of Staten Island. But I'd like you to point out
some time today if you could one point that Curtis
Slieva made last night and the room felt silent, and

(19:08):
the other two that point he's mentioned how billions were
coming into New York are being paid for legal immigrants.
Well every day New York citizens were sufferings financially.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
He's made that point. Everybody makes that point all the time.
All that money wasted on the illegals that could have
been taking care of New Yorkers. Let's go to Mike
in New Jersey. Mike, how you doing, Mark? How you doing? Good?

Speaker 11 (19:36):
Good?

Speaker 8 (19:36):
I'll tell you the thing like this, Curtis is probably
the best carrying that we've had in a very long time.
A man has spent decades of his life fighting crime.
You know, he volunteered to do that. And he also
said the homeless he dealt with a lot of crazy people. Yes,
he very dedicated self, was individual, and he has these
articulate he has.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Ideas, familiar with, familiar with Curtis.

Speaker 8 (19:59):
I get it. End of the day, they want to
blame Curtis. If God forbid, this guy's are on Winds wins.
This is a societal issue. There's not Curtis Lee was problems.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, Curtis belongs in the race. Everything you said is correct.
If you want to blame somebody, blame Cuomo. What the
hell is he doing in this race? Why did he
even show up for this Curtis Everything you just said
is correct. And Cuomo's never even lived in New York City.
He's from the suburbs. You know, every mayor who's run
for mayor of New York lives in New York City.

(20:29):
Is the first time we've ever had a mayor who
spent his entire adult life not living in New York City,
living in the suburbs. We've had mayors born out of town.
You know, Mike Bloomberg was from Massachusetts. David Dinkins grew
up in New Jersey, but they all lived in New
York City their entire adult life. One more real fast,
Let's go to Katie and Chappaqua.

Speaker 12 (20:49):
Katie, how you doing, Hi, Mark, I have a comment
about the debate, and then I have a question. So
I watched it online and you know, on the side
there's check comments and there it was really fun, I
mean almost There was lots and lots of support for
Curtis and mostly criticism for Cuomo and Londani. And then

(21:11):
I wanted to ask you, like, how in the world
could it be asking Curtis to drop out when he's
the only Republican and he's against two Democrats.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, well, you know, most people are not asking him
to be out. That Trump has recruited some of these
public figures, some billionaires like Bill Ackman to be all
over the airwaves telling Curtis to drop out. But if
you talk to actual voters, they don't want Curtis to
drop out. You you can't have a major party candidate
drop out. They had Cuomo not been in the race,
it would have been a whole different story. Cuomo was

(21:41):
like a third party candidate who just showed up here
because he had nowhere else to go. But you got
to give him credit. He had a good debate last night.
He was strong in the debate last night. Hey, when
we come back, Steve Moore will be with us. We
hope we'll see No. I want to talk to him.
A lot of big economic things to talk. We'll get

(22:01):
to that next on seven to ten. Wor welcome back
to the Mark Simone shown En Woor. Well, Steve Moore,
the great economists. You should get his book, The Trump
Economic Miracle. You love it, of course, read all his columns.
And he runs the Committee to Unleash Prosperity and every
day they put out the best daily briefing, news and analysis,

(22:24):
so called the Hotline. You can sign up where it's free.
It'll come right to your email. A lot of people
read this. Go to Unleash Prosperity dot com. Steve Moore,
how you doing.

Speaker 13 (22:35):
Hey, Mark, you're doing well. Thanks for having me. What
a tumultuous week. The government is still shut down. It's unbelievable.
I thought this would last a couple of days. It's
been several weeks now. It's causing more and more disruption.
I don't know if you've been traveling at all, but
there's a you know, a lot of delays at the
airports and so on. So we got to get this
thing settled. But Republicans cannot cave in here. I mean,

(22:55):
we're trying to slice just a little bit of the
cost of our government, and the Democrats won't even allow it.
Two cents saving out of every dollar that we're spending,
two cents out of every dollar.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
So if you listen to Chuck Schumer, it's healthcare premiums.
Everybody's going to die. What is the truth about this
fight with the healthcare Well.

Speaker 13 (23:13):
I think the real villain here. I mean, this is
a teachable lesson for all of us that remember it
was fifteen years ago that we passed Obamacare. In fact,
I was just looking on Fox News and they were
sapping up they showed a you know, a clip of
Obama signing the Obamacare law. Do you remember, Mark, what
the name of the Obamacare.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Law was, the Affordable Care Act.

Speaker 13 (23:39):
I mean, how ironic. I mean, all that's happened since
we pasked the quote Affordable Care actors that healthcare gets
more and more and more expensive. Report the other day
that the average family is now paying thirty thousand dollars
a year what on health insurance because it's just so
expensive now and so and by the way, some of

(23:59):
that is paid by their employers, but it's it's a
giant it's a giant tax on the American economy. By
the way, the insurance companies are one of the villains here.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
They're in on this.

Speaker 13 (24:10):
They're all for expanding Obamacare subsidies because the money goes
right into their pockets. But what they're basically saying is
we want to make sure that people were not even
eligible for Medicare and Medicaid get the get the benefits
because you know, we're so we're so rich with cash
in Washington, we can be passing around free money. It's
really it's really quite outrageous. And we if we if

(24:30):
the Republicans came in here, we might as well just say, okay,
we're going to run two trillion dollar efforts from now
until forever.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, let me issue something. You know, they announced the
terrorists every says that's going to crash the whole market.
They announce shutdown it's going to crash the whole market.
Russian sanctions is going to crash the whole market is fine,
it's setting new records all the time. Why is that?

Speaker 13 (24:50):
This is that it is unbelievable. By the way, just
give you some context here. You know the forty Let
see forty five years ago that Ronald Reagan was elected president.
Do you know what the Dow Jones Industrial average was
back then?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
There six thousand.

Speaker 13 (25:10):
Not even close, my friends, it was one thousand. What
to think about that? It was one thousands. Can look
it up. The Dow is at one thousand. Now here
we are forty five years later, after the Reagan Revolution
and the Trump Revolution, and it is at forty forty
six thousand last time I checked. So we've seen the
biggest period of wealth creation in the history of civilization here.

(25:30):
It's an incredible success story of the American economy. And
we need to get more and more Americans invested in
the market because that's how you make Maybe you make
money is you save and you invest. But now we're
in a situation, as you said, remember Paul Krugman, all
these people when when a Trump was elected both in
twenty sixteen and twenty twenty four. Oh my god, Armageddon's coming.

(25:53):
We're all going to die. The sock market's going to crash.
It's going to be another, you know, another nineteen twenty
nine crash. Gee, where is it then? Because you're right,
the market, the stock market, the Dow Jones, the Nasdaq,
the S and P five hundred, and the Russell two
thousand are at all time highs. Thank you Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Wow. So these Wall Street guys, I guess they know
what they're doing. So that indicate that it's a very
very stable economy no matter what sanctions or whatever happens.

Speaker 13 (26:26):
I started say thing, Emma.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
The fact that the stock market is holding it, it
just means that it's a very rock solid, steady economy
underneath everything.

Speaker 13 (26:34):
Well it is. I mean, look, the stock market is
very volatile, you know, and it could crash by two
thousand points from how you never know. But so I
don't want to get too carried away of the market.
But there is a lot of confidence in the American
economy right now, and I think that is a result
of the fact that all of this investment capital is
coming into the country because of Trump. You know, Trump
isn't attracting hundreds and hundreds of billions.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
He says trillions.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
I don't know if it's trillions, but it's yeah. And
you know that's a lot of money. And if you
think all that money is coming to the American economy,
then of course what do you want to do. You
want to get in front of that, You want to
invest before that, right, Yeah, and so you know that
that's what you need to do is be confident in
the American economy. Look, I think we need a new

(27:17):
FED chairman. You and I have talked about this because
we've got a guy who doesn't know what he's doing
in jer own Powell.

Speaker 13 (27:24):
But how about this?

Speaker 8 (27:25):
What is it that Larry Kudlow? Isn't it?

Speaker 9 (27:26):
No?

Speaker 13 (27:27):
We need that because then we lose this show? Yeah, yeah,
with you and I are regulars on them. By the way, Mark,
you always do a great job on that show. I
always enjoy watching you. And what are you on this week?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
By the way, you actually I was just on yesterday,
wasn't it? Yeah? Yesterday? You got yesterday? Okay, this is yesterday.

Speaker 13 (27:44):
But anyway, so what about out Laugher, what about Steve Forbes?
What about somebody who actually knows something about the economy
and knows how to make because you know, we've had
such a volatile Why did we have twenty three percent
increase in prices under Biden? Well, partly because we spent
so much money, partly because we have a FED chairman
who knows not he doesn't know what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah. Absolutely, Hey, the other thing that causes a great economy.
We're doing very well as far as energy. We're improving
on our energy.

Speaker 13 (28:10):
Oh my god, what a success story this is, I mean,
our energy we are I was just listening to Chris Wright,
who was a good friend of mine, by the way,
he's the new Energy Secretary doing a fantastic shop, and
he was making this point that we made in the
Hotline last week that the United States is now producing
more oil, gas and coal than any other time in

(28:32):
American history. So we're becoming an energy powerhouse again. The
problem is, Mark, if I may, You and I are
both old enough to remember the seventies and eighties when
OPEC had at the blade at our neck and they
could throw the American economy into recession by you know,
increasing or decreasing the amount of oil they were producing.
So we were completely hostage to the Arab nations and

(28:55):
to you know, the OAPEC countries, many of which are
not very favorical in the United States. It's well, we
how did we get out of that crisis we started?
You know, we had the shale oil revolution, which made
America the number one produced oil and.

Speaker 8 (29:08):
We broke the back of the cartel. Now why do
I say that, Because now we have a situation with minerals,
precious minerals, the critical minerals we need for our national defense,
for our advanced manufacturing, for our microchips. And guess where
we're getting the minerals from where?

Speaker 13 (29:25):
China?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (29:26):
How crazy is that? We have twelve trillion dollars of
mineral resources right below our feet in the mountains of
West Virginia and the mountains of the Dakotas and then
Utah and Colorado. We have to be returning to a
mining powerhouse, just as we were for the you know,

(29:49):
for the first one hundred and fifty years of our country.
So we we should be mined. Just as Trump says, drill,
baby drill, I say, mine, baby mine.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I don't know that sounds like too much common sense,
right exactly?

Speaker 13 (30:02):
So much to do it, and we got a great
interior secretary.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
And Doug Bergham, I love the guy.

Speaker 13 (30:07):
Why would we want? You know, by the way, there's
two countries.

Speaker 8 (30:10):
I misspoke.

Speaker 13 (30:10):
There's two countries where we get our minerals from now China,
you know what.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
The other one is India Russia.

Speaker 13 (30:17):
Russia.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Oh even worse, Steeve, those.

Speaker 13 (30:19):
Are two friendly countries in the United States. How stupid
is that?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well?

Speaker 13 (30:23):
I think sometimes I dig people in Washington take stupid
pills every morning. Oh you know what, we want them
to be dependent on us. We don't want to be
dependent on them.

Okay, Miles, have a great weekend.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Talk to you, Sam, right, take care, hey, and don't
forget Buck and Clay. They do a very good show.
It's every day right here at noon, right after this show,
right after the noon news on seven to ten wor, This.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Is Marmon Show on seven WR.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Well, let's take a break for the news, get caught
up on everything. Then in the next hour we'll go
over the Mayor Old debate. We'll get to the ballroom
meltdown by the Left and more coming up on seven
to ten WOR.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
Mister New York Marks on seven ten WR.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Hey, we'll get to the Mayor ol debate in a moment.
The other big thing going on in this is fascinating.
You know, this Trump derangement syndrome is a weird thing
to catch, this Trump derangement syndrome. You know, like you
could start blowing up drug cartels, fentanyl shipments and they'll
oppose that. You could start arresting illegals and they'll oppose that.

(31:57):
Whatever he wants to do, they'll oppose. Now, the problem
is the White House needs a ballroom. They have the
East Room of the White House, which is where they
hold all the formal events, the President and state dinners
and all that. But it's a small room and they
say it holds two hundred people. But that's if you

(32:18):
just put chairs in you know, like but if you
want to have a dinner with tables, it really is
about one hundred people. It doesn't hold a lot of people.
So what they do when they have to have a
big event world leaders are some major event is they
put tents out on the lawn. But Trump is right,
it's kind of embarrassing. You bring a big world leader

(32:39):
here and for the dinner he's out in a tent
and the lawn like it's a wedding in Great Neck
or something. It's just too weird. So Trump wants a
ballroom and he's had you know, I mean, he's a
master at this. It's not like Joe Biden or George
Bush wants a ballroom. They don't know what the hell

(32:59):
they're doing. Here's a guy who's an absolute world expert
on construction and building ballrooms. He's built many of them.
Every one of his clubs, every one of his hotels,
they all have spectacular ballrooms. So he's done this a
hundred times. He knows how to do it, get it
done fast, and do a great job. But he's absolutely

(33:19):
right about this ballroom. You know, the Rose Garden and
that wasn't absolutely necessary, but they would have these ceremonies
out in the rose garden. It was just a big
grass field and a lot of times it rained and
you'd be standing on wet grass. And then every time
they'd have those things on the Rose Garden, they'd bring
out a hundred folding chairs and people, a couple hundred people,

(33:40):
and then they took it all away and the grass
was all messed up and they had to redo the grass.
So he decided to put a terrace out there, like
at mar A Lago. You know, they said he paved
it over. He didn't pave it over. It's really really fine,
world class tile that he made this terrace out of,
and it's the detail on it is amazing if you
look closely. He put a lot of drains in because

(34:02):
that's important, the good drainage. But you look at the
drains and the holes the slats. He had special drains
made where it looks like the American flag in the
drains in the hole. So it's absolutely amazing thing. And
they put these beautiful tables out, their beautiful chairs and
the heat lamps, and they have these dinners now out
in the Rose gardener, these luncheons out in the Rose garden.

(34:24):
It's absolutely beautiful. So he's right about that. The ballroom
construction will be next to the East wing. If you
look where the West wing is not enough room on
the other side of the West wing. There's just very
little room between there and the street. Also, you don't
want the ballroom next to the west wing, but the
east wing. Nothing goes out in the East wing, absolutely nothing.

(34:45):
It's way down in the end. The biggest thing in
there is the calligraphy office. That's where they make the
place cards for dinners and the invitations. It's just like
a very minor business office way at the end of
the White House. First Lady's office is in there, but
that's easily moved. In fact, when Hillary Clinton was the
first Lady, she knew not want to be in the

(35:05):
East wing because it was like a warehouse way at
the end. So she insisted on having offices in the
west wing. So they're going to add this ballroom to
the east wing. And it's a big, big ballroom. It's
going to be a big structure. It'll hold about eight
hundred people. It'll be huge, it'll be magnificent. You can
go online, you can see the pictures of what it'll
look like the sketches, the drawings, absolutely beautiful. Now the

(35:29):
left is going nuts, absolutely nuts. Now, I think the
secret reason, one reason is they know when this thing
is built, it'll be used constantly and forever that it
will be part of Trump's legacy. Forever. It'll be a
big part of the White House, and the people will
always remember Trump. So I think that's the real reason
they hate this thing. Now, then the pictures came out

(35:51):
of the wrecking ball and the cranes, and they're taken
down the whole wall, the whole front of the East wing,
the whole side of it. They turned it down. And
this is what it's got these crazy left wingers all
up in arms, they yelling and screaming. Now the New
York Times, big article. Now, some of them were arguing
that he lied. He said he wouldn't touch that wall.

(36:13):
He said he wouldn't take down that big Well, I
think they were trying to do it without taking down
all that stuff. But they looked at it, and you know,
the structural engineers look and you do have to take
it down. Now, here's the other thing. This is not
unusual to do construction like this. It's happened a million
times at the White House. In fact, I think it
was Theodore Roosevelt actually built the West wing. At the time,

(36:36):
there was no west wing. He added that. Somebody else
added the east wing, and then I forget which president
was it, fort somebody added a second floor to the
east wing. They just keep building additions to the White House.
The Truman Balcony they call it that because Truman built it.
There was no balcony like that. He built that onto
the White House. And it was Truman in nineteen forty

(37:01):
who gutted the White House. They literally gutted the entire
White House. They tore everything that was out of the
White House. All they left was the exterior walls. Now,
one of the reasons the White House had been built
in a million years ago, and there were so many
structural problems that they had to redo the whole building.
And you know, instead of the way it was built

(37:21):
out of you steel, and they looked at it. The
only way to do it really was to gut the building.
So the President had to move out of the White
House for a couple of years while they gutted the
entire inside of the White House and rebuilt it. So
construction is not unusual. But the liberals melting down. Here's
the clucking hens on the View yesterday.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
That is not your building. You don't own that. You alone,
you take it.

Speaker 9 (37:50):
Down, you don't own it.

Speaker 12 (37:53):
I looked up the word nihilist while I had free moment.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, that's what he is.

Speaker 12 (38:00):
This is a metaphor for what's going on in our country.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
He is tearing down.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
The house.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Right now. This is one of the this is one
of what they call the low IQ shows. This is
a low IQ show. But if you watch the high
IQ shows, you know, if you're watching Morning Joe or
PBS or you know, same thing the New York Times.
He's destroying. This is what they call it desecration. It's desecration. Now,
the problem with this, in six months, you're gonna have
this magnificent, beautiful structure. So they're going to be playing

(38:31):
your clips back and you're going to look kind of silly.

Speaker 14 (38:33):
His President Trump, we're building a world class ballroom. You know,
for one hundred and fifty years they've wanted a ballroom.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Here.

Speaker 14 (38:40):
I said, if I do this again, I'm going to
get a ballroom built, and we're putting up our own money.
With the government just paying for nothing. You probably hear
the beautiful sound of construction to the back. You hear
that sound, Oh that's music to my ears.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
You know, when you hear construction, you get sick. He
loves it. He loves it. It's his music. He really
loves it.

Speaker 15 (39:01):
We are using little sections of footings and various other things,
but that's sort of irrelevant. In order to do it properly,
we had to take down the existing structure. It's about
three hundred million dollars. It's set to do many, many things,
including meetings of foreign leaders, including the honoring of foreign leaders.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah. Now, remember he's owned a lot of hotels, a
lot of resorts. He's put ballrooms in all of them,
so he's an expert at this. If the government tried
to build this ballroom would take ten years. He'll get
it done in a matter of months. It'll be done
very very fast. It'll look beautiful. You know, a normal

(39:41):
present couldn't do this. He'd have to rely on the government.
There's some government though building office. It would have to look,
you know, put contracts out for bidding. But you know,
Trump knows every you know, who's the best construction who's
the best crane guy, who's the best wrecking company. When
he put that gold leaf on the walls, he knows
who the best gold guy to bring in. So he's

(40:02):
done it a million times, so it's gonna look great.
You know, they did this at the capital a while back.
They years ago, they started blowing holes in the side
of the Capitol, digging up the ground. Terry was awful
construction site. What they were doing was building the visitors Center,
which now a million years later is a very important

(40:23):
part of the Capitol and it's magnificent. The visitor Center
is the most beautiful thing there. So this will pay off.
This will be great. That's the real reason they really
hate this. And then hey New Jersey, you got this
governor's race. Chitdarelli in Mikey Cheryl. It's tied, looks close.
I think she's They do their own private polling. These

(40:46):
public polls are just junkie polls, but in private they
do some serious, really expensive polling. I think she saw
she was in trouble because she went to Obama for help.
She needs Obama to campaign for her endorser, and he did.
He just he came right out and endorsed her, but
you'll notice he didn't show up. Normally, endorsement means you

(41:07):
fly in, you do a rally, you take pictures together.
You have pictures of you holding hands, you know him
with his you know, give him that fist pump signal,
and great pictures of them together. Those go all over
the place. Well, apparently Obama not that interested in Mikey Cheryl.
He did not fly in. He sent a video. You know,
it's like the guy that doesn't want to show up

(41:28):
at the charity dinner, the honoree, so he'll send a video.
You can play the video, and even with the video Obama,
you can see he's in his living room in an
easy chair with a sweater on. It's like, I'm not
even gonna put a jacket on for this video. So
obviously it didn't mean much to him this race. So
the debate last night, once again, it looks like it

(41:51):
was a good night for Cuomo. He had his best
debate ever. Now he had set the bar very low
because he's a bad debater. He got wiped out in
two debates in the primary. Mom Donnie just slaughtered him.
First debate. He was not strong, So he's obviously been practicing,
getting a lot of coaching for him. He was very
strong in the debate. Best guy in the debate was Curtis.

(42:14):
Curtis won the debate on issues on substance, on content,
But the moderators were trying as hard as they could
to keep Curtis out of it. They very rarely called
on him. They just focused on Cuomo and Mom Donnie.
They treated them like they were the major party candidates
and Curtis was the third party candidate. It's actually Cuomo

(42:36):
who's the outsider. He's the third party candidate. But the
monitor the moderators were trying very hard to push Cuomo
in this. One of the moderators is ERL. Lewis very
left wing Democrat, but his wife actually is employed within
the Cuomo world. There so, but here's part of it.

(42:58):
This was this is Coloma's best moment. He went after
Mom Donnie.

Speaker 6 (43:02):
You have never had a job, You've never accomplished anything.
There's no reason to believe you have any merit or
qualification for eight and a half million lives. You don't
know how to run a government, you don't know how
to handle an emergency, and you've literally never proposed a
bill on anything that you're now talking about in your campaign.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
All right, Como usually bad debates, was pretty strong there.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
Yeah, the worst attendance record in the Assembly, and you
gave yourselves the highest raise in the United States of America.
You went from one hundred and ten thousand to one
hundred and forty thousand dollars, and then you never showed
up for work and you missed eighty.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Percent of the votes.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Shame on you, God.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Shame on you. That's the best Cuomo it's ever done.
So he's trying to pick up the pace. He's been
a horrible debater campaigner. But good a good night last
night Again Curtis won on substance on issues. Hey. Cuomo
also released a very good commercial. Cuomo released a very
powerful commercial. It was done with AI and it basically

(44:11):
said what would happen if Mom Donnie was mayor? And
then through AI it shows you New York falling apart
and burning up on fire, criminals running loose. Powerful video,
great TV commercial, but he pulled it right away something
I don't remember exactly what. One of the images in
there was offensive to somebody, so Cuomo caved, pulled it

(44:31):
off the air. Should have left it on, never taken
it off. That's the problem with Cuomo. He caves to
these left wing cooks. He goes woke. He's always afraid
not to cater to them, and that could be why
he screwed up so badly as governor with his no Bail,
No Jail closed the prisons. He was catering to the
left too much. But he shouldn't have pulled that commercial off.

(44:52):
There more from the debate.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
If there was a ranker selection this, he'd have to
rank these myself Flumber one and come.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Who would who would mom Tony pick?

Speaker 4 (45:01):
If there was a Rancher selection this, you'd have to
rank these, myself number one and Curtis number two.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Mister Slee, Oh please don't be galatian me here, so.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
You kidding.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Choice? But I'd only vote for myself.

Speaker 6 (45:21):
Mister I love that's Zorn and Curtis take that idea.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I don't know, I'm just enamored with it. I would
just rank myself. Yeah, but again, Curtis had a great night.
Curtis the best debate or funniest guy in the debate.
He had some great moments.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Sure on your resume could fit on a cocktail Napkin
and Andrew.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Your failures could.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Fill a public school library in New York City.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Yeah. So now the problem is we've had no polling
for weeks. I know, well, what about that, I saw
it in the news. It was just just a junk poll.
The last one a polling company nobody ever heard of,
done by a Cuomo lobbyist. But any of these college polls,
these they're just terrible. We've had no real polling yet,

(46:10):
so we don't know. We'll see. Early voting starts Saturday.
That's the key. Turnout. Get out there and vote for
not only Curtis, but you got a lot of important races.
You can really make a difference on Saturday, or it'll
be ten days of early voting. Then the election. You
can really make a difference by voting. Vote for Maud
Marin for District Attorney in Manhattan. You got to get

(46:32):
rid of this Alvin Bragg, the guy that lets all
the criminals out, the Republican challengers. Maud Marin, she's very good.
Vote for her. Vote for Bruce Blakeman in Nassau County.
Anne Donnelly for DA in Nasau County. But also in
New York you can change the City Council. The City
Council really runs New York. You can get rid of
some of those left wing kooks on the City Council,

(46:53):
So big opportunity in the election. Hey, Jimmy Fayla will
be with us in a few minutes and then we'll
take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten in Mark.

Speaker 8 (47:08):
On Demand by setting up pre sad for his podcast
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Now back to Mark Simon on wor.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Claire
and Seegert Claire.

Speaker 16 (47:22):
How you doing, I'm good, I love you show. Mark.
I have to say after the debate, which I watched online,
I caught the ten o'clock news Fox, and Uh, it
was lit. I think Liz is the reporter. She reported
that Como didn't hang around like the other two did

(47:43):
to speak to reporters. He made his way up to
the Gorden and caught the second half of the Knicks.
And who is he sitting next to Adams? You know
I'm a New.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
York Yeah, Well he's trying to get Adam's endorsement. That's
why I think why he rushed over there to see
Adams and he didn't get.

Speaker 16 (48:00):
A damn it that. And I'm I'm a name New
Yorker eighty years ago, and I tell you what, there's
no way a true Republican is gonna hold their news.
No one's gonna hold their nos.

Speaker 11 (48:14):
And both for com Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
That's the other problem. Thanks to there's this fantasy that
if Curtis dropped out, all his voters would go to Cuomo.
Most of them would just stay home. But after the debate,
Clomo rushed over to Madison Square Garden to sit with
Eric Adams and try to win that vote over. Let's
go to uh Rich and Myrtle beach Rich, How you
doing pretty good?

Speaker 8 (48:34):
Mark?

Speaker 13 (48:35):
Forty nine degrease here this morning, but it'll be up
to seventy before the day's over, so it's into a
real fall season here.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
All right, all right, you win, It's only going to
like fifty nine here, all right, go ahead.

Speaker 13 (48:46):
I almost thought they shot Croomo up with the same
stuff they used to shoot Biden up with, because you know,
he was yelling and screaming, and he actually looked animated
for a change. You know, Dana Perno had a good
remark this morning. You know, Cromo loves himself when God
loves the money, and Curtis loves New York. He's the
only guy up there that truly really loves New York City.
He's but his entire life there.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
No, it's a good point. You know, Clomo was good
last night. You're right they might have shot him up
with some of that Biden's juice. But you're right. Nobody
would trust Mom Donnie, and nobody really trusts Cuomo, and
Curtis the only guy you could really, really actually trust
who seems to be sincere about everything. Let's go to
Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

Speaker 11 (49:30):
Good morning, Mark, I'm fine, Hi Mara, I was pretty
animated debate. I have to agree with Rich and also
the previous call of that they must have juiced Cuomo
up with something. A lot of people have been tossing
around the fact that nobody pays the bus and the
subway fair. I've been telling friends that depends on what

(49:54):
neighborhood you are. I have to take a bus a
couple of stops to go to the place where I
lease my car and it's an Eastern parkway. It's a
nice neighborhood. I don't see anybody evading the bus there,
and even there are on the subways more often than

(50:15):
not where I live. It's the high school kids when
they get out of school. They're pulling pranks and they're
jumping over the thing. Here's one thing that everybody missed
yesterday that's in the works, Kathy Hawklan. This stupid New
York state legislature with this whole green energy and green ideas.

(50:36):
They're pushing this zero emissions law, which means by twenty
thirty all of the houses that currently are heated with
natural gas or with oil would have to do away
with their systems and put in these heat pumps. Well,
heat pumps are a relative from the turn of the

(50:59):
nineteenth Central where you had all these ducks going throughout
the building. The boiler was in the heat pump was
in the cellar. But the problem is is you still
got to use fuel. Usually you use gas and it
has a fan that pushes the heat throughout the building.
Once the fan and the he go off, the building

(51:20):
gets called and Curtis talked about it's going to cost landlords,
especially small landlords. You're talking about minimum Yeah, two thousand.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Yeah, Curtis had some great points. Excellent call, Vincent, thanks
for calling. Hey, when we come back, Jimmy Fayla, he'll
be with us next on seven to ten wor now more.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Mark Simone on SEVENR.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Well, Hey, we had a special dinner last night, big
beautiful steakhouse for twenty five of our biggest best sponsors,
and a few people spoke. Jimmy Fayla stole the show.
Everybody loved him. Jimmy fayalas now on WR you can
listen to him every night nine o'clock, nine to midnight.
Excellent show every weeknight, and he's got the best late

(52:06):
night show on television Saturday nights, ten o'clock, Fox News Channel.
Jimmy Fayla, how you doing well?

Speaker 8 (52:13):
You know what, I didn't really arrive in showbiz till
I was telling jokes at a podium in a steakhouse.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
At five point thirty.

Speaker 8 (52:20):
I mean, that's the gig, you know, when you get
into the industry. You know, people dream about the Tonight
show in Vegas, but you know, anytime you're at an
East Side steakhouse at five pm with a sober crowd.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
That's the real comedy.

Speaker 8 (52:32):
But it was what a great night? Huh?

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Yeah? Well, I hate to break it to you. Even
if you're hosting the tonight show, they'll make you go
to a dinner with all the top sponsors and tell
some jokes.

Speaker 8 (52:41):
How do I do it all the time at Fox?
But we are such a good time, Like, it was
such a good hang. Obviously you kick it off at
a phenomenal job, so many laughs. Tossed it over to
Menty and you know what else?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
And Menty was great as he always is.

Speaker 8 (52:54):
And you know what was the most pleasant surprise of
it all is Brenda K.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Starr. Yeah, it was goaded.

Speaker 8 (53:00):
Into singing God Bless America while we ate dinner. It
was like a weird dream, you know, because it felt
like a wedding rehearsal dinner.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
And we all got up and gave it toast and breastless.

Speaker 8 (53:11):
Saying but they didn't go through with the marriage, So
I guess that's good. What a night?

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Huh? Yeah, that was very good. Thanks for doing that.
That was the sponsors love you? And how's it going
nine to midnight every night? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (53:23):
I love that because that's those are my people. I mean,
if I wasn't on the radio nine to midnight talking
to people, I would have been driving them around in
a taxi talking to people. So it's the same audience, man.
So that for me has been a really good fun adjustment.
And the one thing I would tell you is when
you get on the air here, specifically New York, and

(53:43):
you know this from being from being from here, there's
a different energy to what we do, and there's an
authentic way of doing it. You know, we kind of
you know, we're a little more plain spoken here than
the rest of the country. So I enjoy being able
to do that communicate efficiently. You Now, in the rest
of the country, Mark, someone asks how you doing, They
actually want to know how you're doing, whereas in New

(54:04):
York we answer for you. We go how you doing good? Yeah,
Famili's good.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Kids. To take it away from it, you know, it's fair.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
I love that. I love the efficiency of New York communication.
So it's been it's been a dream.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Uh. Jimmy Faylor breaking news, Eric Adams will endorse Andrew
Cuomo for mayor. Is that a shock?

Speaker 8 (54:22):
Oh no, but that that that's going to throw an
additional twelve voters into Cuomo's column, all of wich your
bottle service waitresses on the uh in the West Village, right,
they vote, they vote, these twelve matter, Every vote counts.
Isn't that what they tell us?

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Do you ever see a.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Race like this where they tell the actual Republican candidate
he has to drop out? Get out of the races,
you drop out.

Speaker 8 (54:46):
It's an unpopular opinion right now, but it drives me
crazy that people are doing that at the Curtis. It's like, guys, Cuomo,
don't ever you know you know this? Okay, Cuomo got
you know, people killed with his covin strategy, lied about
it because he was negotiating a book deal, and then
got me tooed out of the mansion. Okay, if people

(55:07):
aren't voting for him, something tells me it has nothing
to do with the man.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
In the red hat.

Speaker 8 (55:12):
Okay, there is a Cuomo issue and Clomo caused it,
and the idea that the Republicans are supposed to just
determine which Democrat ruins the city. I don't think it's
our job as a party. So yeah, I'm not on
board with Curtis dropping. How did the Republicans go from
fight fight fight a year ago? To surrender, Surrender, surrender
a year later.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Yeah. I don't know if you saw the debate last night,
but do you think Clomo got some of that Joe
Biden injectioned juice or something. He was all pretty good.
He was fired up last night.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
He was very animated. Apparently the deal fell through on
the house he's buying in Boca Ratone, so he had
to make one last ditch effort to remain a citizen
in New York. I guess I gotta try to win
this thing. You didn't like the interest rate or something,
But yeah, they jacked him up up and it look
did It reminded me of that State of the Union
where Biden screamed at us for an hour and a

(56:04):
half and if you remember, made the sign language interpreter
Shrub At the end of Biden's State of the Union, Mark,
he goes for real, Mark, anyone can google this. He goes,
now's the time to choose between unity and schmegging. A
hem and a hem, and like, what's this happened? What
the dose?

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Hey? Jimmy flis on every night nine to midnight on WORR.
Make sure you listen tonight nine o'clock. Do you say
what is the deal with this NBA FBI announced as
an NBA gambling scandal? Have you ever heard of such
a thing betting on basketball?

Speaker 8 (56:38):
Well, the betting on basketball has been out there, But
it sounds like these were fixed poker games. I mean,
you know, I'm listening. I'm a gambler. I ate a
chicken kebab in Times Square five minutes ago.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Like I'm a guy who rolls the dice.

Speaker 8 (56:50):
Okay, But the point is, it sounds like it was
some heavily organized cheating in high stakes poker games and.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
NBA guys were involved.

Speaker 8 (57:02):
But it speaks to my theory that once they pumped
all of this gambling into pro sports, it's inevitable that
guys are gonna get popped because there's too much cash
flying around. You know this guy a Cleveland, Indians who's
a pitcher, who's banned for life right now because of.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
His involvement in fixing.

Speaker 8 (57:17):
And they don't have to fix games anymore because there's
so many other things you can bet. I'm like, Mark,
you can bet whether the national anthem is going to
go longer than ninety seconds. Like that's a real thing.
So are you telling me someone can't rease Brenda K.
Starr to hold the Home of the Brave for an
extra eight second. You know, of course you could. And
that's I'm not saying Brenda's got more integrity, but I

(57:39):
know a lot of people in Chopaz that would take
the money.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Hey, this White House, they're tearing down the wall. They're
gonna build a magnificent ballroom. These left wing Democrats screaming
about desecration. Are they crazy? What's wrong with them now?

Speaker 8 (57:55):
Especially after you know, the last five years of tearing
down statues and let's not forget yeah, you know, because
that whole preserve our history argument. I'm like, you guys
tore down a Frederick Douglas statue. Okay. They also threw
so many rocks at the White House in Juna twenty
twenty they had to put up an additional barrier. Okay,
So this is not about the sanctity of the White House.
And everybody knows about the Obama renovation that actually cost

(58:17):
three hundred and seventy six million dollars and did you know,
build a taxpayer and not some Trump donors. So it's
all as you know, and I know this is just
like the latest performative outrage, but you know, suck it up.
Presidents do things. JFK put in a bowling lane, Nick,
excuse me, a pool, Nickson put in the bowling lane.
Clinton put in.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
A stripper poll.

Speaker 8 (58:38):
You know, guys are gonna leave their imprint. They're gonna
leave their imprint.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Yeah, but six months from now you can have a beautiful,
spectacular ballroom. These eclips of these liberals screaming they're not
gonna they're not gonna hold up, well, are.

Speaker 8 (58:50):
They no, because they're reacting to these images as if
he just left it that way, but he's knocked down
part of the White House and he's like, anyway, happy Thursday,
everybody off you guys, they're rebuilding it. That's the point.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Well, you go, hey, make sure you listen to Jimmy
Fayla nine to midnight every weeknight on seven to ten.
W O right what he got tonight? Do you know yet? Oh,
it's a big one.

Speaker 8 (59:20):
Kennedy's going to be here, Dave Landau is going to
be here, and we may have a special NBA guest
we're working on now to talk about this gambling segment
so that it has nothing to do with the integrity
of the league. I just got to find out how
to make some money off this stuff, that's all.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Also, he does the best late night show on TV.
It's Saturday nights at ten o'clock Fox News Channel, Saturday
nights at ten and they're online. Right, people miss Saturday Night,
they can go watch it and always Yeah, and make
sure you listen tonight nine to midnight watch him Saturday night,
ten o'clock Fox News Channel. Jimmy fayl a great job

(59:54):
last night. Thanks for being with us.

Speaker 8 (59:56):
You too, You kill you the man see assume Boddy,
all right.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Take care. Yeah, we have a lot of great sponsors.
But like our Top twenty five, it was a big
dinner for them. Jimmy Fayala was hysterical. It was a
great night. We'll wrap it up in a moment. Don't
forget Buck and Clay coming up at noon today. Then
you got the most listened to radio show in America.

(01:00:21):
You got Sean Hannity at three o'clock, Jesse Kelly at six,
and then as I said, nine to midnight every night.
Now it's Jimmy Fayla on seven to ten wor seven
ten rs. Mark stillmon, well, this is just breaking moments ago.
Eric Adams will endorse Andrew Cmo for mayor. Now, remember

(01:00:43):
it was Eric Adams who not long ago, just a
few weeks ago, was called Cuomo a snake and a liar.
But who hasn't who hasn't called him that? But Eric Adams,
once bitter rival, will indorse Cuomo. That'll make some sort
of speech later to day doing it. He'll call on
the black and brown community, he says, to come together.

(01:01:07):
You know, after the debate last night, Cuomo had a
good night. It was a good debate last night. He
suddenly he's been a terrible debater. He hasn't been good
in these debates. Suddenly he had energy and he was
just yelling and screaming. It was good, I mean in
a good way.

Speaker 6 (01:01:21):
You have never had a job, you've never accomplished anything.
There's no reason to believe you have any merit or qualification.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Yes, so for the first time, Clomo was great in
the debate. He had fire, he had energy. Then he
left the debate, went to Madison Square Garden to sit
with Eric Adams, apparently to finalize the deal. Adams moments
ago saying he will endorse Andrew Cuomo. So we'll see,
we'll see how this changes things now. Of course Eric

(01:01:51):
Adams did not have a lot of votes himself, but
every little bit helps. We'll see, we're out of time.
I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon. Here every weekday
ten o'clock till noon, or if you want to listen
to any other time. You could listen anytime to the show, anytime,
day or night. Just get the podcast if that's easier.
I'll see you tomorrow ten right here on seven ten

(01:02:13):
