Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just heard the news.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now you'll find out what it all means. He smart
simone on seven tenor.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Hey it's Friday, that's a good news. It's October. It's
okay news. Yankees win. I'll begin tomorrow the playoffs, that's
great news. We'll get to the shutdown. We'll get to
the Yankees. We'll get to Andrew Cuomo, even Democrats making
fun of his latest ad. We'll get to Mom Donnie
and his words. They're calling him word salads. They're more

(00:31):
like word jumbles. And we'll get to Cracker Barrel. And
we'll get to President Trump. Some interesting developments, what he
may be up to next. Let's see. Let mean yeah, okay,
Sean Diddy Combs is about to be sentenced. No, nothing yet.
The sentence hearing is taking place now. He's going to

(00:55):
get sentenced at some point this morning. Prosecutors want eleven years.
He wants time served, which is fourteen months. If you
ask those criminal lawyers that do these cases all the time,
they're betting four years five years will be the sentence.
Diddy wrote a long letter to the judge, begging for mercy, apologizing,

(01:17):
saying he's sorry a thousand different ways. So we'll bring
you that news. Apparently nothing is happening yet. It'll be
a while before they get a sentence. Now, apparently it
was worse than a Taylor Swift line of the concert line.
There were people camping out for two days to get
into this courtroom for the Sean Didty sentencing. You know,

(01:39):
they got those professional placeholders. You can pay them to
wait in line for you to camp out on the sidewalk.
Although it's not like the old camping out on the
sidewalk with a sleeping bag. This is. They bring tents,
they got you know, chargers for the phones, they've got TV,
they got everything there, they got smartphones, they got everything
going on. So it'll happen at some point this morning.

(02:02):
So here's real quickly the shutdown. Here's the problem. They's
supposed to be a vote today at eleven am. It's
expected that the vote will not succeed to end the shutdown,
and it'll go through the weekend and there'll be a
vote on Monday. They're hoping Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday
they'll get it settled. Now here's the shutdown situation. If

(02:25):
you're watching the crazy left wing networks, if you're watching
MSNBC or CNN, you'll see Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer
on television, and all they keep telling you is everybody
is going to die this shut every people are going
to die. People are going to drop dead. The planes
are going to fallow this sky. This is the biggest
crisis ever. And now they're going on vacation for a

(02:46):
couple of days. So everybody's going to die. But it's Friday,
we gotta leave. Sorry, they're going They're all going away
for the weekend. They're taking the weekend off. In a
minor crisis, you'd probably work on Saturday, wouldn't you major crisis,
you'd work Saturday and Sunday. But everybody's gonna die, and
they're going away for the weekend. And many of these
Democrats are going down to Sea Island for some sort

(03:09):
of democratic conference, and they're getting criticized because it's a
very plush, lush, expensive five star resort, an oligarch type
of place. That's where the Democrats are holding this conference.
So if you're lucky, they'll come back. If they have time,
they might come back on Monday and continue the shutdown. Problem.

(03:29):
Part of the problem is you got two people leading
the Democrats, Schumer and Jeffries. Hakeem Jeffries. These are the
two worst spokespeople you could have if you want. And
the most important thing in a situation like this is
your messaging. You couldn't have worse messaging. Schumer is an old,
dried up, old dinosaur fossil from one hundred years ago.

(03:50):
Everybody just, you know, cringes when they look at this guy.
Jeffries is a younger guy, but he's a total stiff,
and he talks in he's so pious and ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
We'd assume, on myself, having gotten a single phone call
as it relates to a follow up conversation, we are
ready to have that conversation, but we need credible partners
on the other side of the owl.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, see that's a little change in tone. Yesterday was
everybody's gonna die and they won't budge. And he should
get one of those phones that can make outgoing calls.
That way you don't have to just sit there and
wait for the calls. And he said, the problem is
nobody knows what the hell these guys are talking about.
We love Mike Johnson doing a great chop, but they
don't speak English.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
They said passionately, as recently as March of this year,
on the same instrument, the same ZR, that it would
be rap.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
But he knows what the hell you're talking about with
your instrument, your clean CR. Now there's a continuing resolution,
and there's a clean CR. Now when you're watching television
and you hear about this clean the CR and it's
a clean the resolution, nobody knows what you're saying. Speak English,
nobody knows what the hell you're talking talking about it.
So we'll see what happens at eleven am. Don't expect much.
It'll probably go through the weekend. But here's the problem.

(05:05):
You got Schumer and Jeffreys, the two worst messengers you
could have. They're just disasters on TV. They don't communicate
at all. Other problems they're both from Brooklyn, New York,
which means all they hear from a left wing, crazy
left wing. The other problem is they haven't gone home.
None of these congress people have been home. We're meeting

(05:26):
the constituents. All they're hearing from is union special interests
and all these special interests yelling him, o cave, don't
cave in, don't cave in You need to hear from
the constituents showing you that the line at the airport's
longer than ever because TSA had lay off some people,
or they're not picking up the crash or something. They're
not hearing from constituents anyway. Well, that's all there is

(05:48):
to know about the continuing resolution clean c are. Hey,
the Yankees big win last night. They start the playoffs
Toronto tomorrow four. That's great news. Andrew Cuomo getting a
lot of flak over this TV ad, and we told

(06:09):
you about this yesterday. He finally started running a TV commercial.
Nobody knows if he's really campaigning or there's an actual campaign.
He still has not opened a campaign headquarters. He doesn't
do much. He'll do in one or two interviews, but
basically it's always a fluff you know, look, you know,
totally rigged interview, like Eron Lewis on New York One.
He always make sure it's somebody will never give him

(06:29):
a hard time or bring up anything bad. But he
finally put out a campaign ad. It looks very expensive.
It's not because it turns out it's all AI. But
the ad, as we described yesterday, shows him doing trying
to do different jobs. He goes, but I'm not very
good at That shows him trying to be a trained

(06:50):
engineer and not he can't do it. Then it shows
him trying to be a window washer. He's up on
a scaffolding, up on a skyscraper. He can't do it.
And all these different jobs it looks it really looks good.
It's all done by AI. And then he says, but
the only thing I can't do any of these jobm
I'm not good at it. The only thing I can
do is run a government. So this was the ad.

(07:11):
I'm watching the left wing shows last night. They're all
attacking him, even Colbert A ridiculing him, saying why would
you run an ad saying you stink at everything, you
don't know how to do anything, You're not competent to
do anything. And also a lot of the left wing
people pointing out what he's really saying is what we
all kind of knew. And the problem with him. I

(07:32):
can't go back into the world. I can't go back
into the private sector. Nobody will hire me. I can't
do a damn thing. The reason I'm back running again,
even though I quit in disgrace, is I don't fit
in anywhere else in the world. I think this is
this the ad. I'm Andrew Cuomo, and I could pretend
to do.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
A lot of jobs.

Speaker 7 (07:50):
But I know what I know, and I know what
I don't know, and I do know how to make
government work.

Speaker 8 (07:56):
I'll hire five thousand new cops.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
The partner with low community groups and keep our family safe,
and we'll get the homeless off the streets and into
the help they desperately need. There are a lot of
jobs I can't do, but I'm ready to be your
mayor on day one.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, but you know I'll hire five dozen new cops.
He's the guy that just when he was governor, he
got rid of cops. He defunded cops, he cut down
on the cops. He closed the prisons and let the
prisoners out. He passed he passed that no bail, no
jail at all, the criminals loose. He took away qualified
immunity from the cops, he took away overtime. Was he
was just horrible with cops. So that's the ad. You know,

(08:39):
they keep saying, if Mom Donnie wins, people are gonna
leave New York. People are gonna move out. This is
the big thing. If Donnie wins, you won't believe how
many people leave and move well. Cuomo holds the record
for causing more people to leave and move out of
New York while he was governor, especially the pandemic the
way he bungled it up. More people fled New York
under Cuomo than any other any other partician. In fact,

(09:01):
so many people moved out of New York millions that
we lost four congressional seats under his watch. Because so
many we lost so much population, we lost four congressional seats.
There was a period of a year and a half
where you could not get a moving van under Cuoma.
There were so many people leaving, there was a shortage
of moving vans, and there was like a year wait

(09:23):
to get one. Curtis has been running ads. Here's a
Curtis sleeway.

Speaker 9 (09:26):
As you can hear a woman screaming, rapes in broad daylight,
attacks on the subway.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
Why como, We're gonna add the cast ball system once
and for all.

Speaker 9 (09:36):
Worse sov On I'm done. He wants to go even
further with them in charge. You are not safe.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
We deserve better.

Speaker 10 (09:44):
I'm Curtish Sliver, I'm asking for you vote for May.

Speaker 11 (09:48):
Together, we'll build back a shape more affordable.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
M right. It's not a bad ad and is a
part of the addy as the beret part of the
Addie doesn't have the bret. A lot of people there's
got to stop wearing the bray. Stop worrying about the hat.
That's not a factor. It's not an issue in a camp.
It means absolutely nothing to anybody. Nobody's voting based on
a hat. Also bear in mind, is Jimmy Fayle to

(10:12):
point it out. A guy just got elected president wearing
a red hat. You can do it now. This race
will come down to a couple of things. Biggest thing
will be the debate October sixteenth. That could turn the
race around. Cuomo could get wiped out there. He's a
bad debater. He looks awful in debates. Mam Donnie's good.
Curtis is great. They could wipe out Cuomo in the debate.
But the debate could be a turning point in the race.

(10:34):
But here's the main factor. This race will be about turnout.
If there's big turnout, Mam Donnie probably won't win. If
there is that turnout that we've had the last few years,
you know, twenty percent, twenty two percent turnout. That's how
de Blasio got in. There was just no turnout. The
only people that showed up were the crazy young radicals.

(10:55):
If it's twenty percent turnout, yeah it favors Mam Donnie.
But if we go back to the old days with
eighty percent turnout, that's how we You know, Republicans won
five of the last mayoral races, five of the last eight,
and that's how Giuliani won. All of a sudden, people
are fed up, and there was and the polls didn't
show it happening, but there was all of a sudden
big turnout. So a big turnout, and Mom Donnie loses.

(11:19):
Now he's being very cautious now when asking when he's
doing interviews, people are calling these word salads. What Kamala
does is a word salad. And she was so silly
and dumb and stupid and inarticulate that she just gives
a word solid and an answer. Mom Donnie is very
shrewd and smart, so it sounds like a word salut.
But he's doing it deliberately. He's very carefully talking a

(11:43):
lot without saying anything. So if you listen to his answers.
You don't know what the hell he's saying.

Speaker 12 (11:47):
I think New Yorkers deserved leadership that is looking to
be thoughtful as opposed to leadership that is just trying
to engage in the discourse of our politics. And I
think that's it's part of what I'm trying to bring
to our politics is a reflection of what I see
in New Yorkers as opposed to.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
What I see in the people who passed for our
leaders Yeah. See, it sounds good, but he's deliberately not
saying any Nobody knows what the ally just said that
we don't want. It's not about being thoughtful, it's about
engaging with reflection. It's a little thoughtful, not too thoughtful,
more engagement than thoughtful. Nobody knows what he means or
what he's saying. So well, we'll get back to the

(12:27):
Meryl racing a little while now. Hey, Cracker Barrel fired
the marketing company. You know, I was talking about this yesterday.
These marketing companies are really bad, some of these marketing companies.
There's some good ones, but there's some really bad ones.
And the biggest corporations hire these marketing companies and there
to do the rebrand and to you know, redesign, new love.

(12:51):
And some of them are disasters. And the one that
Cracker Barrel hired was a total disaster. It's a company
called Profit, total disaster. They came up with the new menu,
the new decorps for the restaurants, the new logo, the
new this, the new that. It was a complete disaster.
It was all so awful. Cracker Barrel lost one hundred

(13:13):
and forty million dollars in value. One hundred and forty
million in value. Now, I don't know what took them
so long, but they finally fired this company. The company's
going and this is also the company put in the
DEI hiring, the this the that, all of that stuff. Hey, oh,
Donald Trump apparently when he was up here for the

(13:34):
Ryder Cup met with some high ranking not CBS, but
the parent company. Negotiations are taking place for Donald Trump
to possibly do a sixty minutes interview. Now, sixty minutes
is the most awful, corrupt show, totally slanted biased, not
just the questions, the way they run the interview, but

(13:57):
they'll actually doctor up the video to slant things, to mislead.
They'll doctor up the interviews in the video that got
caught doing it with Kamala Harris. It was so obvious
they were trying to interfere with the election. They doctored
up her video so much that they ended up having
to pay a settlement of about thirty million to Donald Trump.

(14:17):
That's how bad it was. So negotiations are taking place
for Trump to do an interview with sixty minutes. I
don't know why he's even bothering. Nobody watches it anymore.
It's not that big an audience. It doesn't mean much,
but Trump negotiating for certain things. The video or the
interview will have to run absolutely unedited, no edits at
all allowed. He's agreed to Bill Whittaker to do it,

(14:40):
and knowing him, he's very smart, he'll figure out what
night he wants it on. Sixty minutes doesn't have a
lot of viewers anymore. Used to be the number one
show on television, used to get sixty million people, gets
nothing now. But the only time is it gets any
ratings if it's on after a big, huge game. So
if it's a really important football game or The Master
or something like that, when it ends, it goes right

(15:01):
to sixteen minutes. So Trump will pick one of those nights. So, hey,
we got a lot coming up, and we'll take some calls. Next.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Now back to Mark zimone on woor.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three to two
one zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to
Kathy North, Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?

Speaker 13 (15:29):
Hey, Mark, it's good to talk to you. It's good
to hear you.

Speaker 14 (15:32):
I have a random question. I know you're not a
financial guru, but of course your friend Larry Kudlow is,
so maybe he can answer this someday. All that money
that Doge saved billions and billions, where does that show up?

Speaker 6 (15:45):
Like?

Speaker 14 (15:45):
Where is it being pocketed? Is it in the It
doesn't seem to be in the budget. The budget would
have been missing several billion dollars because we didn't have
to pay out to that. So I just I remember
talking about it and hearing about it. But where does
it physically show up?

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well doesn't it doesn't show up. It's just the actual
budget drops, spending drops a little. Now, the problem is
you got Congress and Republicans are just as bad as Democrats.
Whenever there's money, they start spending it again. That's the problem.
You can keep cutting the spending, but Democrats and Republicans
in Congress keep bringing it back.

Speaker 14 (16:18):
But you're telling me that if we didn't if we
didn't do dose, then this outrageous budget would be that
many more billion more.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes, So.

Speaker 14 (16:29):
You are a financial guru.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
No, it's a simple common sense. If you get rid
of seven hundred thousand people, your pay roll is less money. Obviously,
I know, but I know it's North Carolina. But this
is not hard to figure out what's going on down
there in North Carolina.

Speaker 14 (16:45):
It's beautiful today. Fall is coming. I'm not my favorite season.
I really love summer, but it's here. It's quite nice.
And we have that big we have a big governor's
race going on. I guess, or no, I guess the
governor is running for the Senate seat. So we're going
to look for that. I'm going to try talk you
out with that.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Hello to Barney Fife and OPI and everybody down there, and.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
Hey, hey, hey, we love North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
It's a great place. Thanks for calling. Let's go to
Dave in Chicago. Dave. How you doing, good morning, Mark.

Speaker 13 (17:19):
I'm doing very well, Thank you. Mark.

Speaker 15 (17:21):
I know when the recent passed we were all told
not to use TikTok because it came from China and
it stole all of our personal information. My question is
what's the latest status, because I know President Trump does
have a TikTok account.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, you can. Well, you know he's got so many phones.
You can have one on a phone that is not
on his phone. But it'll get safer and safer. I
get to wait till it's completely turned over to the
new Board of Directors. So instead of the communist Chinese
having all your data, Larry Ellenson will have it. It'll
be Oracle and some other people running it. But should
be safer. It should be safe. Hey, nowadays all these

(17:59):
apps steal every You just don't want to go into
the communist Chinese government. Who knows what they're up to there.
Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
good morning, Mark? That's Mike.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
He's listening to the ads you played from the candidates.
Don't you find it funny that in this day and age,
the ads haven't changed much. It's still I'll be ready
on day one. They'll have one eventually with the guy
sitting in the diner. It's like there's a million people
online who have like clever memes and you know, have
unique takes on things, and these politicians still can't get
out of the twentieth century.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, it's a very good point. Now, the reason for
that is there's only a handful of these political consultants,
and they go from campaign to campaign and teach everybody
the same exact ad. You know, if you're a great
consultant and incredible marketing video, you're gonna go to work
for all these big corporations. You're not going to do politics.
But that's a good point. Yeah, they all do this.
I'll be ready on day one. So what everybody's ready

(18:53):
on day one? Every hey, iHeart every major company. We
hire people all the time, they show up. They're ready.
We've never had anybody who we hired say I'm not ready.
I can't stop, I'll have to come back another time.
I'm just not ready. Everybody is ready day one. Let's
go to Stan in Forest Hills, Stan, how you're doing.

Speaker 11 (19:15):
Are you doing? Happy holidays? I just want to say,
you know, I keep hearing that's socialism, which I'm not a.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Communist, but you sound like a communist.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
No, no, I'm not gonna sound like one. Do you
ever hear yourself?

Speaker 3 (19:29):
But that's a little bit of a communist, you don't know.

Speaker 11 (19:31):
The point is, we have socialistic programs in this country
that are extremely successful. Well I mean to name them.
They called social security. We pay into it, but it's
for the masses. We have Medicare, we pay that into it.
It's for the masses, and the greatest one is Medicaid, which.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Is in Southern I know that's an old old cliche Democrat,
that's not a cliche. We got to cut you off there.
It's an old democratic cliche talking point. It's a government program.
It's not socialist. I mean, you could say that's what
socialism is, government handouts, but it's not a socialist. You
can opt in, you can opt out, you can do
whatever the hell you want. You cannot take it. Let's
go to David in New Jersey. David, how you.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
Doing all right? Good morning? Thank you very much for
taking my call. This is the first time I ever
called I listened to you. You're I think you're great.
Thank you for what you do.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
When a guy butters you up first, it means he's
up to something. All right, go ahead, I like.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
To hear your opinion on this. We know this Mondmie,
he's a he's an anti semi. The Jews in New
York has, from my understanding, has the biggest population outside Israel.
We know Como's a thief and a bump. What's wrong
with these Jews not voting against this guy?

Speaker 3 (20:47):
And they aren't putting the most of the Jewish community
is totally against him, working hard against him. And let
me just defend and Cuomo. I don't think that he's
a thief, the worst governor ever. Yes, a complete incompetent,
a disgrace, Yes, all his sexual Yes, a thief. No,
we don't know if I'm actually stealing money.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
But why aren't they putting their vote towards Sleeva?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
I do A lot of them are? A lot of
them are.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
So Sleeva should be running away with this instead of.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, we love the Jewish community, but it's a tiny,
tiny part of the electorate. It's not a big part
of it's not a big percentage of the votes. But
they are much of the Jewish community back in Sliva.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
And well let's hope.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
So yeah, No, it's just unfortunately it's not a big
enough part of the electorate. Again, it's a turnout race.
If you get huge turnout, MONTDOMI loses. If you get
what we've been getting for like Deblasio or Eric Adams,
where it's eighteen percent turnout twenty that's where you have
a problem. Hey, when we come back, Liz Peak will
be with us next, the great columnist. Let's see what

(21:49):
she thinks about all of this. We'll get to that

you go to her website, a great news site, lizpeak

Liz Peak.

Speaker 13 (22:25):
How you doing, I'm terrific. Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Mark, Well, you know I'm watching Schumer and the Keem
Jeffries all over television s every hey's gonna die. We're
gonna die. This is gonna die. And then they all
left for the weekend. They're on vacation. Now, how does
this work?

Speaker 13 (22:41):
I guess we're not going to die right away?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah. So are these two just tone deaf Jeffries and Schumer?
Are they just out of touch?

Speaker 13 (22:52):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (22:52):
They're scared to death? Mark, I think the progressive left
has a stranglehold on the Democratic Party right now. And honestly,
I think you can fairly say that if AOC Alexandero
Cacio Cortez, the progressive darling from New York State, was
not threatening to primary Chuck Schumer when he's up for

(23:12):
reelection in twenty eight we would not be having a
government shutdown. When he signed on and agreed to go
along with the Republican funding bill in March, he got
absolutely sporched by the progressive left.

Speaker 13 (23:25):
They hated him for going along.

Speaker 9 (23:27):
They think the only thing that Democrats should be doing
is resisting everything Republicans and Donald Trump are trying to do.
And so he learned his lesson. I mean, when you
look at poland guess what Schumer might be beaten by AOC.
It's completely possible. So you know, it's like Andrew Cuomo
running against Mom Donni in New York City for the

(23:49):
mayor's race. I mean, basically, Cuomo a sort of long
time I guess moderate Democrat, although I think he's a
pretty far left Democrat, he is nothing.

Speaker 13 (23:59):
Compared to Mamdani.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
That's where the energy is, that's where the excitement is
in the Democratic Party. So I mean, honestly, you have
this ridiculous situation where the entire country is in the
grip of AOC who, in my view, is an incredibly
know nothing Democrat representative who has tremendous social media presence.

Speaker 13 (24:20):
And that's about it.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
And how did we get to this point? Is it
because the universities became in doctrination centers over the last
few decades and we've raised generations of far left kookie
socialist young Is that how this is.

Speaker 9 (24:34):
Happening, without a doubt, without a doubt, that is part
of it. I mean, I think in terms of what
ails the Democratic Party, well, first of all, let's look
at their record. Show me a Democrat run state in
the United States that is prospering. The answer is, you
can't because their policies don't work. Mamdani has risen to

(24:56):
fame by talking about affordability. He's completely right that the
two most expensive states to live in are New York
and California. Why would that be, I wonder Well, let's
talk about high taxes and tons of regulation that make
it almost impossible to operate a small business, and all

(25:16):
the kinds of labor laws that they put in effect
that jack up the price of everything from uber drivers
to delivery drivers, delivery people for food and stuff. All
that may seem like a good thing, but the reality
is it means it's incredibly expensive to live in these states.
So weirdly, it's Democrat policies that have pushed the emergence

(25:40):
of Democratic socialists who pretend they're going to solve those
affordability issues by being even farther to the left, having
even more regulation and more taxes, and doing everything that
Democrats have been doing for decades, but on steroids. I mean,
you cannot come up with a worse argument for election
than that, and yet it is resonating.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yeah, if you think about it, the Democrats have run
every inch in New York legislature, Albany governor, mayor city
council for about twelve years, so why would if it's
such a crisis, why wouldn't you just switch parties? That's
the obvious thing to do.

Speaker 13 (26:16):
Yeah, Mark, you know you're thinking straight.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
The problem is all these young people are not and
part of it is what you call indoctrination. And that's
exactly the right word for it. You know, during the
Vietnam era, if you think back that long, what how
did you escape the draft? All the lefty hippies who
didn't approve of the warren Vietnam thought could avoid the

(26:40):
draft by becoming teachers and professors.

Speaker 13 (26:43):
So they did. And guess what here we are all
these years later.

Speaker 9 (26:47):
These guys have organized and run the departments of America's
colleges now for forty plus years.

Speaker 13 (26:55):
They hire people who think the way they do.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
Polling shows literally the faculty at Harvard, for example, doesn't
even want to have any kind of diversity of opinion
in Harvard's faculty. They don't approve of that. So you
have a very solid generation now that is incredibly left
wing and by the way, incredibly ignorant because they don't
know the history of the Soviet Union. They don't know

(27:20):
the history of Venezuela and how or Cuba or ney
of these countries that are so poor and so destitute
in the case of Soviet Union, that actually collapsed under
the weight of the kinds of policies that they are
now embracing. Had they been ever taught that, or taught
about the virtues of capitalism and how capitalist free countries

(27:42):
do well and create wealth for their people, maybe they
wouldn't be so eager to flock to a guy that
is touting the same failed policies that really have caused
millions to live in poverty.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a strange election here in New York.
You got one candidate is the absolute worst of the
new generation Democrat and the other candidate's the worst of
the old generation demosra.

Speaker 13 (28:05):
Yeah, isn't that the truth? That's a really good point.

Speaker 9 (28:08):
It's oh, it's like and and that's you know, that's
obviously anyway.

Speaker 13 (28:12):
That's the local issue.

Speaker 9 (28:14):
We have two terrible candidates running. Uh, and so it's
it's like, you know, the worst of the choice you
can make. But but I think generally nationally, when you
look at Schumern, Schumer in particular should be embarrassed. I mean,
how many times has he paraded before the cameras well.
Every Sunday night. He used to if you recall, because
nobody else bothered, uh, And he would talk about how

(28:36):
terrible government shutdowns are, how they really hurt the country.
And here they are insisting on one for what end?
To what end they want to? I mean, they don't
want to give the Senate and it's just a few
weeks to get their spending bill in order.

Speaker 13 (28:53):
They don't want to do that.

Speaker 9 (28:55):
So again, this is this is play acting. It's performative politics,
which is what Democrats have really kind of, you know,
become very good at or at least sort of.

Speaker 13 (29:07):
That's all they do.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
Now it's performing in politics with no particular purpose.

Speaker 13 (29:12):
And I think it's a tragedy honestly.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah. Well, great stuff, Liz Peak. Hey, check out her
website lizpeak dot com. You got great stories there every day.
It's a great news site, lizpeak dot com. Be a
subscriber to it and of course reader columns. Watch her
all over television and great stuff, Liz Peak.

Speaker 13 (29:31):
Thanks for being with us, Thank you so much for
having me.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
All right, take care, let me just see here the
did he trial? Well, no, no word, it's going to
be a little while the hearing is underway. Did he
will be sentenced at some point. We'll bring it to
you when it happens. The judge says, trial evidence did
establish that they were transported for the purpose of engaging

(29:55):
in a commercial sex act. That doesn't sound good. Prosecute
wants eleven years. Did he wants time served? That's fourteen months.
Criminal lawyers say it'll be somewhere in the middle of
five six years. Well, we'll see, it'll happen later this
morning and we'll get to that coming up on seven
ten WR.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Mark Simone on seven ten WR.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Hey, we got a stop for the news. We'll get
updated on everything, find out all the latest, and then
we got another hour to go with lots to get to.
We'll get to the mayoral race again and we'll get to, Hey,
the Trump sombrero stuff. We'll explain how that came about
and more. Right after the news on seven to ten WR.
He's more.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Mark, Okay, So Marximone show on seven ten WOR.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Well, Hey, lots to get to. If you're interested in
plastic surgery, be listening later this hour. We'll get to
the mayoral race. We'll get back to that and a
whole lot more. You know, the sombrero videos are the
best part of the shutdown. Don't worry about a shutdown.
We have a government shutdown every couple of years. Happens
all the time. You've been through a dozen of them.

(31:09):
You don't even remember any of them. Remember twenty eighteen, No,
that was the longest one ever, thirty five days. That
was during Trump's first term. So you'll get through this
just fine. But the best part was the It started
with Hakeem Jeffries, who's this pompous, way too serious, humorless
guy who stands up there and says, everybody's gonna die. Well,

(31:32):
they made a video with him with a sombrero on
and a Mexican looking mustache and this great music. I
love this music. But you gotta go watch them. They're
hysterical to look at. They're very very Wait a minute,
how do I stop this thing? I'm playing it on
my phone. I can't stop it. But go watch them.

(31:54):
We're up on my Twitter, the sombrero videos of Hakem Jeffries,
of Schumer, there's one of every Democrat. They're hysterical. Now
then these pompous, humorless democrats are all over MSNBC and
everywhere going it's this bigoted, the bigotry of these videos.
It's racist, it's bigotry. It's this, it's a he copied

(32:14):
it from you, guys. You guys did it to him.
He copied it from you. Do you remember there was
a they tried this for two seconds, Taco Trump. What
did taco stand for? Trump? Always chickens out, But they
kept calling him Taco Trump. And they put out millions
of videos of him with a sombrero, him with the mustache,
him with the Mexican music, and him on a taco truck.

(32:37):
It was Taco Trump. There were millions and millions of videos.
That's where he got the idea. He's using your technique.
So if it's just disgusting and bigoted, you guys are
the ones that invented it, so blame yourselves. In Chicago
right now, there's big protesting at an ICE facility, crazy

(32:57):
left wing democrats protesting. It's pretty funny if you think
about it. He's left wing, these democrats yelling at the
ICE creat what are you doing enforcing the law? Cut
that out, Stop enforcing the law. It's just getting more
and more ridiculous, which is great. As you head to
the midterm elections, Democrats will wipe themselves out. Traditionally, a

(33:21):
new president loses the Congress in a mid term two
years in. There are exceptions. This will probably be one.
Democrats going so far to the left they'll never find
their way back to the middle and sanity. You know,
we're talking about the mayoral race last hour. Here's the
problem with Cuomo. Here's this big problem besides the fact

(33:43):
everybody hates him, he's creepy, and besides the fact that
he's made so many enemies. You know, you notice he's
get these endorsements the union, Electrical workers Union, the plumbers union.
What the hell do I care what the plumbers union thinks.
I mean, if I need my sink fixed, I care
what they think. But political situation, I don't go to
the plumbers union anytime I'm trying to decide a political issue.

(34:05):
I don't call my electrician. I don't call the plumber
and ask him about So who cares what these unions do.
The big endorsements would come from big leaders, especially in
Albany and all that, but they all hated him. Cuomo
threatened everybody who was the biggest bully there So the
problem is he's running against this very left wing socialist

(34:25):
Kami Mam Dami or is Al Sharpton called him, Mam dammy,
Mam Donni. And Cuomo is now running as the centrist,
old fashioned, middle of the road Democrat, which is a
total lie. He's putting on this act and it's killing
him with Democrats. Is the problem is he looks old.
He's got that same shirt that Fredo wore in The

(34:46):
Godfather in Cuba, and he just looks old and tired,
like an old dinosaur. And if he just ran as himself,
he's more to the left than Mom Donnie. Nobody's done
more left wing crazy things in office than Cuomo. Cuomo's
the guy that gave us no bail, no jail. Culomo
was the guy that literally just closed the prisons and

(35:09):
let the prisoners out. If he would just do that stuff,
he could capture these young mom DOMI voters. You know
that that would be the campaign that would win if
he actually tried that, If he just went to them
and said, you know he's talking about it, I've actually
done it, I can get it done. I'm the only
one that's actually let prisoners out. I'm the only one

(35:29):
that's defund I've actually defunded the cops. It'd be a
campaign that would win these crazy left wing and he's
afraid to do that for all kinds of reasons. But listen,
this is actual Cuomo video from back then when he
was the most radical governor ever. Listen to this video.
If he ran this in a campaign ad, he could
win those young socials. Listen to Cuomo as governor the

(35:51):
crazy things he did. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
where it's the sound here?

Speaker 8 (35:57):
It is, well, sister, once and for a way, we're.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Going wait, hang on, hang on, I'll get it.

Speaker 8 (36:03):
That's whether you're rich or poor. We're gonna und the
cash bail system once and for all. We're gonna do
it in New York, and we're gonna.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Do it this year.

Speaker 8 (36:16):
We have to have moral alternatives to incarceration, strict timelines
on court dates, and we have to eliminate the racial
bias that is pervasive in our criminal justice system. As
governor of the State of New York, I can't tell
you how.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Proud I am to have.

Speaker 8 (36:36):
Closed more prisons than any governor in the history of
the state. And I'm not done yet.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Now this is a radical, radical, left wing, far left guy.
If he would just go back to being himself, run
that video, run it as your campaign had, You'll steal
votes from Mam Donnie. That's how you could really stop
my Donnie. If Cuomo ran as himself, that very very

(37:04):
very radical left wing governor that he was, he and
mont Donnie would split up that radical vote and then
be easy for Curtis to walk right in. Curtis is
finally running a lot of ads, and he's finally hitting
Cuomo with the nursing home stuff, and it's all leading
up to the debate. October sixteenth is the big debate.

(37:25):
October sixteenth, it'll be on Channel four. There's a second
debate six days later that's on New York One. Nobody
really sees New York one, and it's not that anybody
watches Channel four. It's not a big audience. But it
goes all over the internet. It goes viral. So if
something big happens in that debate October sixteenth, that's where
the race could change. That could be the turning point.

(37:48):
If there's going to be a turning point. And again
I keep repeating this. The other thing is turnout. If
we get what we'll be getting the last three or
four elections. No turnout eighteen percent, turnout twenty percent. That's
where the radical left wing can win because they'll always
turn out. If you go back to the old days
of seventy five eighty five percent turnout, that's where mom

(38:08):
Donnie loses because all the normal people come out. It's
all about turnout. Taylor Swift album dropped last night at midnight. Now,
you know, it's tough nowadays you don't make You know,
in the old days of phonograph albums, what did they cost.
I don't even remember. But you know, people buy the
album or the CD. You know, they go buy your CD.

(38:30):
It's twenty dollars. So there's twenty dollars every sale. You know.
Now it's downloading, you're lucky if you get thirty cents.
It's all downloading or streaming. It's mostly streaming, so you
don't get the money anyway. Now you've got to make
all your money now by doing a concert tour. Taylor
Swift is the king of concert tours. I don't think
anybody's ever made more money on tour. She's become a

(38:53):
billionaire doing that. But very smart marketing very smart business person.
So what she's done. As soon as the album drops,
the merchandising drops with it. So yeah, you can just
stream the songs and pay three cents or whatever. But
everything is being sold right now, and we don't have
any numbers yet, but she's been selling shirts, sweaters, gloves, hats, everything,

(39:16):
Taylor Swift everything with the new album logo on it.
Very very smart. You know, when you're somebody like Taylor
Swift and you play Madison Square Garden. Actually she's too
big now. She plays stadiums, but a lot of big
Let's say you're playing Madison Square Garden, big, big, big, superstit.
You get to two and a half million, three million

(39:37):
for the concert. But the merchandising, you know, she'll actually
make five or six hundred thousand dollars in the lobby
before anybody even walks in, five or six hundred thousand,
just on merchandise, just on just on the T shirt sales,
all that kind of stuff. It's become an amazing, amazing business.

(39:58):
So what else the Yankees Tomorrow night, that's going to be, uh,
that's going to be the big, big first game of
the series. Tomorrow night. It's actually it's four o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
four o'clock. Hey, we were talking last hour about TikTok.
Will it become safe? Will your data no longer be
in the hands of the communist Chinese? Well, it will
now be controlled by a US led group. And exactly

(40:21):
who is that? It's Oracle, So that's Larry Ellison. I'm
gonna sneeze in a minute. Wait a minute. Oracle a
company called silver Lake and then Dreasen Horowitz and Dreasen Horrowitz.
What a name. But they'll control it. Under the TikTok
divestment law passed by Congress, Chinese ownership cannot exceed twenty

(40:45):
so will be in the hands of American tech companies KKR.
That's Henry Cravison Company General Atlantic. This is a tough choice.
Who would you trust with all your data? Communist Chinese
or Silicon Valley. I don't know, so I gotta have

(41:05):
to think about that one for a while. Hey, it's autumn.
It's officially fall now. Of course, you all the jokes
about this pumpkin spice coffee and pumpkin spice, this and that,
but it's worse than that. For instance, Trader Joe's has are.
This is a big thing with them. Every autumn, the
Trader Joe's Autumn menu. People go crazy for this stuff.

(41:28):
The biggest winner this season Trader Joe's butternut squash mac
and cheese. I don't know, but these are these Traders.
It's like a cult, this Trader Joe's. They're very proud
of that. The canvas Trader Joe's bag, very very cultish.
The other one is a butternut squashed lasagna that doesn't
sound good either. Another big cellar that cocoa truffles with

(41:52):
maple syrup sounds even worse. Autumn harvest pasta sauce. Again.
You got to be a cult member there in the
Trader Joe's cult. Maple ice cream sandwiches, EH, salted maple
cold foam creamer. Again, none of this sounds good. Maple
spice nut mix, maple and sea salt, cattle corn. But

(42:13):
this is very, very very big with the Trader Joe's crowd.
Costco same thing. They all go crazy about certain things there,
but they're bringing back some of the fan favorites. Costco.
You know their store brand is Kirkland. Kirkland is the
town that come from Costco the signature butter cinnamon sugar loaf,

(42:37):
which comes in ghosts. But apparently people go crazy for this.
It's the most addictive thing in the world, butter cinnamon
sugar loaf, and whenever it shows up on the shelves,
people just line up for it. It's only nine, it's
they point out, it's not the healthiest thing in the world.
Nearly a full stick of butter is baked into each loaf.

(43:01):
In fact, another woman on Instagram showed the loaf rolled
around in melted butter. That's how you get the coating
to stick. One serving is four hundred and ten calories
thirty three grams of sugar. That's a lot. That's a lot.
It's not the healthiest thing for you, but nobody has.
They do have great food. You got to give it
to a Trader Joe, not Trader Joe's, but Costco Trader Joe's.

(43:22):
I gotta live with out. Hey, Harvard, Now this is
an interesting story. President Trump has been all over Harvard
and he's now got them caving in left and right.
Harvard has agreed to pay five hundred million. And what
they're going to do, They're going to operate a network,
a nationwide network of trade schools. Now, you know, one

(43:43):
of our great sponsors is Lincoln Tech. When it comes
to these trade schools, they're a great thing for many,
many kids. This is the answer trade school. Nobody better
than Lincoln Tech. But Harvard is now being forced to
get into the game. And President than Trump has said
over and over this, it's so important to have these

(44:04):
trade schools. There's a lot of kids that they don't
need to be lawyers or doctors. They want to be plumbers,
they want to be h fact, they want to be
in various industries. You go to this tech school, you know,
you immediately got a career. You graduate Harvard with your
degree in liberal arts, you end up living in your parents'
house for ten years. But President Trump said, we used

(44:24):
to have a lot of trade schools in this country.
We don't anymore, and we need them back. So part
of the settlement with Harvard, they're going to spend five
hundred million open a network of trade schools focus on
artificial intelligence, engineering, and other technical skills. Well, see, there
you go, Harvard trying to catch up with Lincoln Tech.

(44:47):
Pretty good. Hey, we'll take some calls in a moment.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Now back to the marks, Emosho on woor.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Aaron
in Indianapolis erin how you doing.

Speaker 6 (45:14):
Good morning, Mark? Speaking of Andrew Pomo, would it be
possible to replace him with Perry Como?

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Well, that'd be great if for those of you under
eighty five, Perry Como was one of the greatest television
stars ever. He was a great singer, but the biggest star,
biggest variety show in the late fifties early so he
was a big, very nice guy. Lived at Long Island
Sands Point. And you remember Perry Como? Are you a

(45:44):
fan of his?

Speaker 13 (45:47):
I was from walking him on TV with my dad.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Oh, okay, so that while you're from back there, actually
remember I'm trying to remember. Yeah. It was at a party.
I'm standing there with Joe Namath and Matilda Cuomo comes over,
wife of Mario, and says hello to me, and I
introduced her. I said, Joe Namath, this is Matilda Cuomo.

(46:12):
I swear to God, and he says your husband was
the greatest singer ever. I said, no, no, Cuomo Quoma, not Coomo.
But she laughed, she said, I get that a lot.
Let's go to uh Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich.

Speaker 6 (46:26):
How you doing pretty good? Just sitting around the pool.
Finally got to sleep at the windows open last night.
We got a nice little cool snap down here. We
finally got a trade of Joe's opened up this past
Tuesday as well, so everybody was excited. It wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Uh No, that was quite out. It's Myrtle Beach. It's
like also in any suburb if anything opens, they line
up for one hundred miles. They get all excited about anything.
If you open something, you could open a trader Joe's
right here out fifty sixth Street, everydy go what the away?
But in the suburbs they will line up.

Speaker 6 (46:56):
I'll lined up around the block. And the porn rain
on Tuesday morning, it was hysterical. It wasn't it the
Channel four that screwed Curtis last year in the debate.
Did he make any preps to have certain rules that
he's allowed to speak more than thirty seconds this time around?

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Yeah, that's a good point. Channel four rigged the mayoral
debate last time. He early allowed a thirty second answer,
which of course is not enough time to give a
full answer, and they were trying to protect Eric Adams.
They thought he wouldn't be too articulate. And then the
whole second section yes or no answer only, which is idiotic.
It's just preposterous to have yes or no answers in
the debate.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
And hous Curtis made any kind of points or any
kind of you know, demands on how the debate's supposed
to be run.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Well, if you'll recall, he was on the show a
couple weeks so I said all this to him. He said, yeah,
I'll be taking care of him, So I'm sure he will.
I'm sure he will. Actually, I think they're always trying
to help, knowing Channel four, they always trying to help
the Democrats. So, mom, Donnie's a very articulate guy. He
has no problem in debate. So I'm sure they'll loosen
up the rules, let people actually talk this time. And

(47:56):
Cuomo is terrible in the debate. You know, mom, Donnie's
a talker. He talks like this and he sounds like
he knows what he's talking. About and Curtis is a
professional debate for thirty years. Cuomo talks so slow that
compared to these two guys, he's gonna look ridiculous in
this debate. Let's go to Jay in New Jersey. Jay,
how you doing? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (48:18):
He Mark, You know about the sombreros. I just think
that's you know what's great about that, you know, is
that is that the Democrats, just like you know, when
Kamala Harris and Hillary Quinton put on fake accidents. If
if Deem Jefferies were to court the Hispanic vote, he
would probably put on a sombrero, the same way they

(48:38):
chose Tim Wall to appeal to men. So this this
joke has a lot of truth to it, and I
don't think they realize you that it does.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Yeah, well, the whole fight is over paying for illegal
aliens health care. That's why the Mexican stuff. But again,
the Democrats invented this sombrero stuff. They did it to Trump.
They called it Taco Trump. They started these memes all this,
and but Trump does you know, you can say trolling Trump,
but he's better at trolling than you are. Now, the
argument is, it's a president of the United States, he

(49:06):
should not be making silly jokes like this with memes.
And I don't know, I don't know. We're in a
different world now. I mean it is kind of WWE
kind of a presidency, but it's twenty twenty five. You're
in a different world now. He's not Eisenhower, he's not
Harry Truman. He's a modern day guy. Let's go to
Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing, Mark?

Speaker 16 (49:28):
Speaking of the Yankees. You don't have they got the
name the New York Yankees. No, well, they were the
turn of the last century. They were the New York
Highlanders because they played play up in Manhattan. Yeah, and
circa nineteen twelve nineteen thirteen, in the off season, they
would go down south and play exhibition games. Now it's
still very wrong. This is less than fifty years after

(49:51):
the Civil War. So the residents would down they would say, oh,
here come those Yankees from the North. Oh, they changed
the name for the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
That's actually a very good story, very good.

Speaker 16 (50:00):
Oh, thanks, Mark, have a good weekend.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
Thanks for calling. Yeah. Well, yeah, they still they all
go south for obviously spring training and Florida and Arizona
and all those places. So playoffs begin first game Yankees
Toronto tomorrow afternoon, four o'clock. Now, remember it used to
be when did the season end. It was like October second,

(50:25):
the season would end always that was it final. And
then the World Series is start like October fourth for
one week and that was the World Series. Now you
got a division playoff, section playoff of this playoff that playoff.
Remember they used to call Reggie mister October because he
had really hit in the World Series. Mister October. That

(50:46):
doesn't mean anything anymore, you know, it's mister November. Now
they have to actually change the name. So and it's
hard to believe we're already in the postseason. But hey,
when we come back, doctor Arthur Perry will be with us,
the great plastic surgeon. I think, is he coming in person?
We love the guy and it's always good. Yeah, he's

(51:07):
coming in person. Yeah. I don't like when they come
in person. You know. For first of all, I mean,
I love the guy. He's a great plastic surgeon. But
when he's looking at you, you can tell he's looking
at you, going huh, I could fix that. Look at that.
I need to fix that. They just look at the Wader.
It's like the contractor when he looks at your house.
He wants to fix everything in there. So we'll talk

(51:29):
to him next. If you got any plastic surgery questions
or things you always wanted to know but didn't want
to be seen asking, we'll do it next on seven
to ten wo r. Let's well, everybody is interested in
plastic surgery. Everybody now. Doctor Arthur Perry one of the
best plastic surgeons on earth. You can hear him. He's

(51:51):
got a radio show here every Saturday at six o'clock,
Doctor Arthur Perry. But he's really good. And his website
is Perry Plastic Surgery Perryplastic Surgery dot com. And he's
with us. Actually, I hate when you're in the studio.
I mean I love seeing you, but thanks Mary, I
can tell you looking at me going oh I can
fix that. Oh that needs fixing.

Speaker 10 (52:11):
Just just a few hours in the operating room and
we're all set Mark and oh look look Mark, look
what I brought for you. Oh no, what is that?
That's botox. It's botox. I've been threatening one day you're
going to break down. We're actually going to do it
in the studio.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
I cry at a flu shut. So I just don't
like this stuff. It's such a small needle. It's okay, Mark,
it is tiny. The needle he showed me is tiny. Now,
and I know a million people that get botox every
two seconds. It doesn't bother them at all.

Speaker 10 (52:41):
Ten million people last year in the United States' that's
a lot of people. It is so popular. He's looking
at me.

Speaker 8 (52:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
I will do it someday. Well, you know, we'll get
him there. Now, let me ask you a question. There's
a couple of these hot shot plastic surgeons. I don't
know that they're great. I see him in the newspaper
all the time. They're in the guy subcoms, which is
usually a bad sign. But one of them, somebody calls
it's like two hundred three hundred thousand for a Faceliok.
That that's crazy. That's crazy. That is absolutely crazy.

Speaker 10 (53:09):
And you know, I mean the truth is, how do
people get in the magazines and on TV? They get
pr agents And it doesn't necessarily mean they're the best.
Some of the best plastic surgeons I know no one's
ever heard of. Because they're full time faculty members. They
are the best. You've never heard of them, and yet
you know the one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand dollars
faceliffs crazy, Mark, Yeah, so you don't have to spend

(53:31):
that kind No.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
You do not.

Speaker 10 (53:32):
That is a true anomaly in the world. And there
are only a few people that could either get away
with that or find people should I say, stupid enough
to pay that kind of money that's crazy?

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Well yeah, and that's uh, those it's those people that go,
I saw I'm in the pay Perry must be good
and then they pay that kind of money. But yeah,
doctor Arthur Perry, can you can trust him? You want
to go to him? Now? Speaking of facelift, that look
at that? If I lift my face like that looks better?

Speaker 10 (53:58):
All right, Yes, yep, we gotta do it, Mark, come on,
come on, But four hours and you're a changed man.
But four hours, well that's how a facelook is. Three
or four hours. But honestly, Mark, there are much simpler
ways to look better. Here it is the fall, right,
we're in October. We've gone through the summer. Everyone was

(54:18):
out having parties and on the beach. Now we're getting
ready for Thanksgiving and the Christmas season. Right, everyone wants
to look good. But there are some really simple things
that you can do to look good, and people just
forget the little growth on the face. Everybody's got kind
of a zoo growing on their face mark, you know,
mules and sebaria character season and the simple, simple thing

(54:41):
that you can do doesn't cost a lot of money.
You go in for a session with a plastic surgeon
and look better. You know, I looked at some statistics.
Forty percent of adults are single. Did you know that?

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Wow?

Speaker 10 (54:52):
Forty percent, and it goes to like forty six percent
over the age of sixty. That's a lot of single people.
Everybody's ap Yeah, but everybody wants to look better, right, Yeah,
you do. You know we see people on TV and
in the movies and they're not they're not unattractive, right,
there's so you know, you can make whatever judgments you want,

(55:15):
but the truth is we'd like to look at prettier
and better looking people, right. So it's so simple to
just clean up the things on your skin. That's number one.
And a good skincare program that will take you a
long way to looking better.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Yeah, we all know somebody with a big mole or
something's sticking out a little and that's not surgery, that's just.

Speaker 10 (55:34):
Well, it's it's surgery. It's minor surgery. But it's in
the office, and you know, forty five minutes later it's
gone and you look so much better. The psychologists use
this term called cognitive dissonance. You know, that's where you
look at someone and there's something wrong and you can't
quite put your finger on it. But it's the asymmetry
that a mole creates, or maybe a big brown mole
with hair. You know, no one likes that. Get rid

(55:55):
of those things. They're so easy, and some of those
could be cancer. So you know, it's a good idea.
You get two benefits. You have a medical benefit and
a cosmetic benefit when you do those things.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Now I could look at them mirror, I could see
three things I could fix. You look at me, you
see like forty two things. Right, it's a project mark.

Speaker 10 (56:14):
But everybody as you get older, look we all age, right.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
All right, So if I got a facelift like that
four hours, now, then what happens how long before I
look normal and go to work?

Speaker 10 (56:23):
Well, you're out of work for about two weeks. That's it,
you know. And now with masks, yeah, maybe you get
in a little sooner now about two weeks really, and
it's a pretty easy recovery. No pain medicine other than
til bad word now, but tile and all.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
Not a painful thing.

Speaker 10 (56:41):
No, it doesn't hurt afterwards. Honestly, in a scale of
one to ten of facelifts, is somewhere between one and three.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Wow. Yeah, okay, Now these bags under my eyes, if
I want to get rid of those.

Speaker 10 (56:50):
Even easier, mar Yeah, so the there's some extra I'm
looking at. You've got some extra skin of your lower islands.
You've got some fat in the lower islands, your upper
eyel look at your upper islands, Mark, there's extra skin.
It's almost an emergency. That's about two and a half
three hours. Look these procedures, by the way, under local anesesia,

(57:11):
we don't need to use general anesesia. It's nice, smooth,
intravenous sedation like with your colonoscopy, except no tubes in
the other side. There's a nice RESTful thing and it
doesn't hurt. And then you come out. You look terrible
though for about two weeks because you're bruised and swollen,
and then you look great.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
And for two weeks you gotta put ice on it
and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 10 (57:34):
Now the ice Actually, interestingly, we don't use ice anymore.
You shouldn't use ice because some people get frostbite injuries
and there's no benefit to it, so you just recover.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Yeah yeah, okay, what else? Okay, if you're a woman breasts, Now,
what's the trend now? Is it bigger? Smaller?

Speaker 10 (57:51):
Well, certainly smaller than it used to be. You know,
it's always funny, Mark, you know when you see women
that have these enormous implants, like I saw one of
their Kardashians and these implants are up by her clavigals, by.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
Her collar bone.

Speaker 10 (58:05):
That's crazy. That would be considered a complication in cosmetic surgery.
And yet I've had people ask me to put implants
that way. I say, I can't do that, that's wrong,
and they say, well, the celebrities have it that way.
It's like, oh my goodness. You know, so now we're
redefining what beauty is based on. You know, this group
of people from California who who had bad cosmetic surgery,

(58:28):
but you know, everybody sees it.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
It's crazy. Yeah, that we're talking with doctor Arthur Perry
he's a great plastic surgeon. But there are bad ones.
So I see people I know they had a facelift,
and they look phenomenal, They looked so natural. Then you
see the other ones who looks tight and plastic and
like muppets, like Boca ratan facelift. Well, how do you
avoid that? How do you know you're not going to
get that?

Speaker 10 (58:47):
You know there's artistry in this. You know, we can
teach plastic surgeons how to operate, we can teach you
how to be good doctors, but the artistry, the artistry
is very difficult to teach. You know, either you're an
artist or you're not. It doesn't take much to pull
a little bit too tight and you look funny. And
you know that's the hardest part to teach. I teach

(59:07):
over at Colombian Cornell at the Plastic Surgery Residency Program,
and and you know that it's like ethics, How can
you teach ethics? Very difficult? Your mother has to teach that.
And artistry that's almost innate.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
You can learn it.

Speaker 10 (59:20):
But and that's where you know, defining the plastic surgeon
a good or a great one, it's the ability to
create art with you as the media.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
You got to have the hands. Guys. Hey, that's another thing.
If you get in botox, everybody does it now. Do
not go to the hairdresser or the dentist for botox, right.
Make sure it's a plastic surgeon who knows what he's doing.

Speaker 10 (59:41):
And beware of the really inexpensive botox because there's fake
stuff out there. There's there is you know, gray market
that means it comes from other countries. You have no
idea what it really is. You have to be careful.
You know, if botox costs six hundred dollars a vile,
how is it that these storefront places are charging two
or three hundred. You know, something's wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
And it's easier now to do plastic search right than
like thirty years ago. The equipment's better, the techniques are better, right.

Speaker 10 (01:00:10):
Well, there's absolutely there's refined techniques, you know, we you know,
surgical techniques are are certainly better out. For instance, the
facelift that you want so much before. You know, ten
fifteen years ago, we had to make incisions way up
into the hairline. Now we don't have to do that anymore.
We figured out ways. It's a little harder for the
plastic surgeon, but better for you facelift.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
It's not for me, it's for a friend. Oz oh, okay,
but take a look that would be Now what do
I do? My necks a little saggy, all right, So
for men it's different. So for you, I could suction
out that fat. Okay, let me turn to the sidemark.
You know your chin is good, so we don't need that.
So we suction it out and we bring those muscles together.
Remember Catherine Hepburn.

Speaker 10 (01:00:50):
You know those bands in the neck, Yeah, bring those together,
and the tighter we bring those. Then you know your
neck looks slimmer and better. So that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
You put a whole and they know it's put a small.

Speaker 10 (01:01:02):
Incision under the chin mark. There's no although although there
is a method for men where we actually do just
excize that skin. That's a simpler way. I might have
that myself. You know, it's one of these just take
out that skin right there and place an incision in
the middle. Not good for women, but it works in men,
particularly if you don't want a bigger procedure, it's a
smaller proceed How long does that take, that's a little

(01:01:25):
under two hours. How you don't want the surgeon to rush.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Two weeks of recovery.

Speaker 10 (01:01:29):
Everything is about two weeks. Although if you're just doing
the neck with turtlenecks, maybe a scarf as it's getting
warmer or older out there rather, Yeah, you could probably
hide earlier. You could probably pull it off in about
a week. And you know what, Mark w R. Will
set up the studio in your home. You know, you
just there you go, the little comrades you'd broadcast three

(01:01:49):
days later. What do you say, listeners, tell, tell, We'll
get Mark to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
But you know, they just banned North Korea has banned surgery.

Speaker 6 (01:02:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:02:00):
Yeah, it's not something, it's it's a it must be
good if they banned oh my goodness. Yah, breast augmentations, facelifts.
Can't do it because it goes against the socialist agenda.
That's what what's his name, Kim John.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Kim Jong Moon.

Speaker 10 (01:02:15):
Yeah, yeah, so I guess if you want cosmetic surgery,
don't do it in North Korea, although South Korea very popular.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Mark. Well, now, if you need anything anything, we do
recommend doctor Arthur Perry. It's go to your website.
