Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s career could be in jeopardy after 8 Senate Democrats conceded to Republican demands not to extend Obamacare subsidies for a year, a stance Schumer and his party had previously defended. Mark interviews political commentator Liz Peek. Liz explains how the Senate’s decision last night to reopen the government could benefit Americans going forward. Meanwhile, as Zohran Mamdani’s administration takes shape, questions arise about whether this shift could spell significant losses for Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly made millions of dollars through insider trading while serving in government. Mark recaps special moments from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2025 inductee ceremony, which took place this past Saturday. Mark interviews New York Post journalist Miranda Devine. During the interview, Miranda shares her perspective that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be stepping down at this time because of the negative attention brought by Mayor-Elect Mamdani, which she believes could damage the Democratic Party's reputation in the coming months. The Pod Force One podcast is a major hit in the audio world! The latest episode highlights details about Eric Trump, the president’s son, as featured in Devine’s latest coverage.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
it all means. He smarts amone on seven to ten war.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hell, Hey, we'll get to the shutdown ending and what
it all means. We'll get to we'll get to President Trump.
What a day yesterday is a football career was highlighted
on television. We'll get to Nancy Pelosi. We'll get to mom, Donnie.
We'll get to the BBC. Total corruption over there and
(00:31):
now having a clean house, it looks like the shutdown
will end this week. Democrats, I hate to say they caved,
but they caved and gave in, and Chuck Schumer now
in big, big trouble with Democrats. Chuck Schumer still thinks
this nineteen seventy eight, thinks he can fool people with
(00:52):
his nonsense. So he, you know, pounding the table about
I don't like this disagreement and I voting against it.
It didn't fool anybody because he controls the Senate, and
he allowed eight senators to jump ship and go vote
for it. He could have kept them in line if
he wanted to, but he didn't want to, so he
(01:13):
didn't want to be on record as voting for it.
But he made sure, those eight voted for it, and
this will lead to the end of the shutdown. So Schumer,
totally behind the scenes cave thought he could fool the
voters with it, the Democrats, but they are furious at him.
It's pretty much the end of Schumer's career. He was
on the way out anyway, and couldn't he possibly get
(01:35):
reelected next year. In fact, the rumor everywhere that he'll
announce he's not running for reelection at some point, but
Democrats yelling and screaming about him. I think he thought
he could get away with it. He's just so far
behind the times. But he's in real trouble right now.
So it would it comes down to two things. One
(01:56):
is they kept talking about healthcare, the the care they
call it the Affordable Care Act, and the subsidies that
people need to pay for it. That was the main issue.
But really for many of these senators, the main issue
was the flight cancelations. Fifteen hundred flights canceled today alone,
(02:17):
So it was snarling at airports, making travel almost impossible
for a lot of people, and just screwing up everybody
who need to get on a plane. And that's Schumer,
that's people in Congress. That's their donors and a lot
of voters that they count on. They'll make it sound
like this was about healthcare for people that poverty that
(02:40):
needed it. It thrilling about the flights, and it was
screwing up the people that they talked to. You know
the other thing, you got totally corrupt media in this country.
They never ask any legitimate questions. You see all these Democrats,
all these atom shifts and all these Schumer types come
on the Sunday shows and talk about we must have
the subsidies to pay for people to have the Affordable
(03:03):
Care Act, the Obamacare. You've never heard any media person
ever say the Democrats if it's the Affordable Care Act,
if it's affordable, why would anybody need a subsidy to
pay for it. It's obviously not affordable if you need
a big government subsidy to be able to afford it.
So nobody ever brings that up. The part of the
deal is the Trump administration gave in on a couple
(03:25):
of things. They will agree to rehire everybody. There'll be
no layoffs or anything, no lost jobs as a result.
They'll rehire everybody full back pay for everybody. Figure what's today, Monday, Tuesday,
figure Wednesday. It formally ends. Everybody gets paid by the weekend.
Flights will get back to normal in time for Thanksgiving.
(03:48):
So hey, President Trump announced a lot of pardons. Was
it last night? Yeah? Last night, I remember the whole
A mount of seventy pardons. People that had something to
do with questioning the twenty twenty election. January sixthy. These
are the people that got behind it. Isn't not rioters
(04:09):
at the capitol. These are people that wanted to use
a different slate of electors. This was considered the lowest
form of treason. Now, of course you got totally corrupt media.
They never pointed out to anybody this happens all the time.
Democrats have done this, proposed alternate electors. Al Gore was
one of the people that did that. So when a
(04:30):
Republican get elected, Democrats on the floor on their January
sixth would actually say, we don't vote for these electors.
We want to vote for an alternate slate of electors.
Happens all the time. But in the case of Trump,
the double standard, the hypocrisy, They were all over them
for that, and then all the people were involved, the
(04:51):
attorneys involved Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, all these types, the
lawyers all were getting charged in all sorts of in
all sorts of places. Now, this pardon is only for
federal cases, so it doesn't affect the current cases going
on in you know, Rudy Giuliani and Georgia, Sidney Powell
and Georgia. It doesn't cover those local cases if it's
(05:12):
only for federal charges, So why do it? Is it
just symbolic? No, Actually, this is because it's possible Republicans
could lose the mid terms and Democrats could take control
of Congress next year. If that's the case, they'll you know,
these lunatics, their whole life is January sixth, one hundred
years from now, they'll be yelling about January sixth. For
(05:35):
those who don't remember, January sixth was that trespassing incident
at the Capitol. So in case the Democrats do take
control of Congress, they'll come after all these people. They'll
hold hearings, try to do criminal referrals. So that's why
a federal pardon for all of these people. Schumer on
the shutdown.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Our offer is not a new policy. This is not
negotiating in a shutdown. It's simply agreeing to maintain current
funding levels. A one year extension is something many Republicans
themselves have said they want.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Does anybody take this guy seriously?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
We will agree with the Republican Republican request not to
start negotiations until after the government reopens. All Republicans have
to do is say yes to extend current law for
one year.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know, you know he's reading it off an
index card. He's got those big, big, big glasses now,
he got rid of little Ben Franklin glasses, got rid
of those cheap sport coats. He wears an actual suit. Now.
I don't know why you think somebody's listening to this.
If you watch these crazy Sunday shows, they're all talking
about Trump's gonna cave, Trump's gonna ever watched the ABC
Sunday Show. It is the most ridiculous show in the world.
(06:47):
They got three rotating Trump haters, each one hates Trump
more than the other one. It's that old weather Beaten
what's her name? The woman I'm blanking out, Martha the
Radits Martha Raddits, and then who's the Jonathan carl who
he comes down and it pretends to be some sort
of anchorman who's objectively looking at the news. Meantime he's
(07:10):
got a book out trashing Trump about it. So and
then I think this week was actually George Stephanopolis, who's
like a pit bull just biting every day when you
watch him with a with a Republican guest, like a
pit bull, like mauling, biting, clawing. Then they come back
from the commercial, he's got a Democrat on. He's like
a gentle little poodle. Just uh, it's a ridiculous show.
(07:34):
And then they have they go to our panel and
they tell you that the panel is made up of
Democrats and Republicans, but in a massive coincidence, the only
Republicans on the panel are people that have been fired
by Donald Trump and hate Donald Trump. Chris Christie is
one of this is this is why they love Chris Christie.
They can call him a Republican, but all he does
(07:54):
is bash Trump. In fact, Trump was asked about this yesterday.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Everybody knows I know Chris better than anybody in their room.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I always felt he was guilty.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
But what he did is he took the George Washington
Bridge was very serious. He closed down the George Washington Bridge,
and you had medical people, you had ambulances caught up.
You know, this thing was closed down, and obviously he
knew about it, but he blamed the young lady that
had worked for him and another person and they got
into a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So that's the panel. It's a bunch two Democrats and
then well you have two Republicans. But just by coincidence,
there were both people fired bitterly bitter feud fightered by
Donald Trump, Ryan's prebus and Chris Christie Hey. Yesterday great
football game commanders and the Lions. President Trump leaving mar
A Lago early, like at noon, normally leaves about five o'clock,
(08:48):
but to go to the game, he did a flyover
with Air Force one over the stadium. The game, of course,
being broadcast all over the country. Trump was a big,
big star there at the game. They kept covering him.
They invited him into the booth. We the Lions guy
when he scored the touchdown, did the Trump dance in
the end zone? Liberals woke Democrats would get sick watching this,
(09:10):
but they never watched football. They never do. Some people
are now proposing to rename the stadium in Washington d C.
Trump Stadium. He was instrumental in getting the funding getting
it built. That's the reason to justify it. But the
real reason to do it is just to drive people
in Washington nuts. Just to drive the Democrats nuts because
(09:32):
every time they have to drive by it is a
big signed Trump stadium, they'll go crazy. But they had
him in the broadcast booth for about nine minutes yesterday
on the broadcast. Remember Trump actually owned a football team,
the New York Generals, or was it the New Jersey Generals.
The Generals remember herschel Walker. Remember they formed that other
football league UFL whatever it was. But Trump actually owned
(09:55):
a football team, and he was a football player in
college and in high school. And well here's Trump in
the booth yesterday.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I played tight end, but I mean it was not
quite football like this.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was a little bit easier.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
It wasn't so tough, and we had a quarterback who
didn't have a very strong arm. I would say ten
yards was a long pass.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, So he was pretty good there. They kept him
on a long time.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I love the Jets and I love the Giants. I
had a lot of friends Baptish and some people that
owned the Giants, at the time as we're going along
and progressing, and you know, look, we had a couple
of Super Bowls with the Giants. The Jets have been
having a little bit of a hard time. Woody's a
great guy. He's a great friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Get it together, Yeah, Woody Johnson's a great guy. The
worst owner in the history of sports, nobody's a close second,
single worst owner in the history of sports. Hey, you
probably didn't watch Saturday Night Live, And if you do,
it's hard to stay with it more than ten minutes.
It's just not that funny anymore. But Saturday Night Live
(10:58):
doing a lot of jokes about about the election, about
all that stuff. Opening, you know, the opening sketch was
really stupid. It was You may have seen this incident
in the White House. They're having a little briefing in
the White House with the heads of the drug companies.
They're going to make those ozempic type drugs cheaper, make
(11:18):
them available on medicare, all these pharmaceutical types in the room,
and a guy collapses right in the Oval office. There's
like all the presses there, all these people. A guy
just passed. We didn't know if he had a heart
attack or he passed out or what, he just collapsed
and these guys there are officials from these medical companies,
pharmaceutical company, so he assume they know something medical. But
(11:41):
they as he collapsed, they put him on the ground
and doctor Oz is standing there. He's part of the briefing.
As soon as it happens, doctor Oz is right over
there tending the guy. So everybody gets out of the
way and doctor Oz is trying to help the guy.
And the Saturday Night Life opening sketch was about how
Donald Trump is obvious see some sort of psycho. He
(12:01):
saw a man passing out. He did nothing. He just
stood there, which made no sense. You got one of
the greatest doctors on the face of the earth, doctor Oz,
right there. He runs over. He's taking care of the guy.
Would you jump in and interfere with that? No, nobody would. Also,
the White House Medical Office is about forty seconds away.
They threw the press out of the room, so we
(12:22):
didn't see all of this. But the White House Medical
Office is a very very serious thing. It's got a
bunch of doctors, nurses in there. They got all kinds
of equipment. It's pretty much like a little emergency room,
right in the White House. But then Saturday Night Live
opening sketch is usually something you want to watch, and
then after that it's all downhill. Then they do that
weekend update, the fake news, the fake newscast they did
(12:46):
go after a well, now, listen to this. They talk
about mom Donnie, who watches Saturday Night Live, Who's in
that audience, what type of people take a listen. This
will show you exactly what type.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
On Tuesdays are on Mom. Donnie was elect mayor.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
He was elected.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
A lot of sleeve offans. She was elected mayor despite
his opponent Andrew Cuomo, receiving endorsements from Donald Trump and
Eric Adams, which is like trying to bring a girl
home by saying, not to brag, but I have hepatitis
B and C.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
But listen to that ovation from Donnie winning and Cuomo.
You know, at the end of the year, which is
not that far away, I hate to say it, but
in the month and a half at the end of
the year, they always do that the winner of the
year loser of the year. Usually you wait to see
who who will people pick? Well, with loser of the year,
you don't have to wait for anything. It's obviously Andrew
Cuomo getting ridiculed on Saturday Night Live, Andrew Cuomo the
(13:52):
loser of the year. You know, if Curtis had not
been in the race, if there was no Curtis, it
wouldn't have helped Andrew Cuomo at all. In fact, at
the very end, if you took every Curtis voter and
added it to Cuomo, he still lost by a few points.
And this is with every possible advantage, everybody everywhere telling
everybody to vote for Cuoma the president, everybody. Even with that,
(14:17):
he couldn't win. And boy and Saturday Night Live, they
went after Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Andrew Cuomo spent the last day before the election campaigning
around the city and a.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
White Ford Bronco, which is what O. J.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Simpson used to get away from police.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
But at least oj was ahead and the race for
a while.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So Cuomo just getting ridiculed by everybody. Let's see if
he leaves New York City. He was always in Westchester,
his whole a doubt life Westchester. When it looked like
he wanted to run from mayor, he rented an apartment
in the city so he could be a New York
City resident during the campaign. But it's over. Now, let's
see if he goes back to Westchester, where he goes, Hey,
(14:59):
we got a lot coming up. We'll get back to
Mom Donnie and what's next. There's some interesting developments there.
Who's in, who's out with Mom Donnie? And a whole
lot more to talk about. We'll take some calls next.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
number eight hundred three two one zero seven.
Speaker 1 (15:19):

hear Mark Simone and all the WOR hosts in an instance.
Now back to the Mark Simo show on WR.

Speaker 9 (15:41):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
I'm doing very well. Thank you.
Speaker 11 (15:43):
Mark.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
From what you describe, it sounds like the Sunday Morning
talk show, especially with George Stephanopoulos, is like the View
only on Sunday. And I have to ask number one,
we know he's not a true journalist. And number two,
why don't they follow the lead of CBS and just
not renew his contract?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
George Stephanopolis, I don't know he's convinced the ABC top
people of the Disney people, that he is the most
connected guy in the democratic world, that he's a powerful
force there. I don't know how he's convinced him of this,
but somehow they fell for it, and they're just afraid
to fire him. At some point they actually will. You know,
(16:24):
you got the View the ABC Sunday Morning this week
with George Stephanoppolis. They're all the same things, just different.
You know, one is the low IQ Show, the View
one is the high IQ Show. But you watch the
Sunday Show on ABC, you won't know what's going on.
They actually say I saw that in a bunch of
Sunday shows. They've actually said the phrase with inflation raging,
(16:49):
there's no raging. Inflation three percent? It was nine percent
under Biden. You never mentioned it. Under Biden, you never
heard about it. It was triple what it is now
you get this word affordability. This is the crisis affordability.
We had the worst inflation under Joe Biden in history.
Did you ever hear them use the word affordability? Never
(17:09):
even mentioned it. They've never mentioned the word till now.
Let's go to Bruce in West Milford. Bruce, how you doing, Hey? Mark?

about I was watching the TV on Westfield, all the
snap people picking up their They all got brand new
SUVs and everything. I can't understand it. Where did I
go room?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I don't know, don't. I don't believe that. Andrew Crolomo
will tell you he's got He's looking to buy this
house for fourteen May. These are rumors, just rumors, no
no verification of that. I can't fixture Andrew Cromo living
way up there. But let's go to Don in New
York's Don how you doing?

other day, one of the greatest radio show hosts ever
in history. His Sunday show for many, many years. Legendary.
He's retired now but looks good and it's still still
around and glad you remember him. That was one of
the greatest radio hosts ever. Nobody better on Sinatra, no
(18:29):
better musicologists in the world, and no better storyteller. He
could out do Jeene Shepherd or any of them. Let's
go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing Yo?
Speaker 14 (18:41):
How you doing?
Speaker 15 (18:42):
Mark? You know every election there's a PSA that floats
around before every election. It says you run out of
every five kids. Yeah, that's not even boats. They have
now a new dittyguary called food insecure.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, that is the dumb wre You're not supposed to
stay hungry anymore, you know, we have our hunger THI
on battling hunger. You're not supposed to say You're supposed
to say food insecure. It's the dumbest phrase, Like guess
at some point it's like a flood victim. You can't
say flood victim. There, dryness insecure, food insecure? What the
(19:22):
hell does that mean? Let's go to Margaret in Westchester. Margaret,
how you doing.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
I'm doing well? Yes, Margaret, I really like to speak
is it marks them OWD let me check, Yes, it
is okay. I just have several things to say. Things
are so mixed up, and if people only check things
before they started talking, and if they weren't jealous of
(19:47):
each other, things would not be as bad as they are.
If everyone just concentrates on what they're really supposed to do. Yes,
And I'm wanting to say, menching you for a long time.
It's just an out of concentration figuring things out, being respectful,
being respectful.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Kidding, kidding. Where do you live in Westchester?
Speaker 13 (20:11):
I live on the Tellam there Rochelle Border. Oh, very
nice complex.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah, there's there a lot of seniors.
Speaker 13 (20:17):
There, many seniors, many young children and a view of
the water of Long Island. Sound.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Oh there you go like near a premium point.
Speaker 13 (20:27):
Yes, yes, really nice and.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
All your seniors there. It's kind of a lot of
wild parties and stuff like that.
Speaker 13 (20:34):
No, no, very nice things by gone on Halloween and everything.
All nice things, all really nice things. Yeah, and you
do a lot of good things, and just we have
to just get things together and let people realize what
they're doing and do what they're supposed to do with
their jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So what you're saying, is we have to do what
we're supposed to do, and what we're supposed to do,
we should just go Is that what you're.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Saying exactly exactly?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
All right, thanks for a calling. That'sald like a nice
woman there in Margaret. All right, So everybody remember that
whatever it is you do, make sure you do it.
I don't know what that means. Now. Every day I
make up a to do list. I used to have
it on a piece of paper, and now it's on
the phone. It's an app with your to do list.
(21:25):
Every day, make up this are all the things I
need to do today. Then at the end of the day,
I see I did none of them. This is, you know,
the good thing about having on an app because the
old way you had to like rewrite it every day.
This way you just leave it there on the app. Now,
a very wise guy that once said, because you probably
do this too, stop with the two do list. Don't
(21:47):
make the two do list. You're never going to do it.
What you should do at the end of every day,
at the end of the day, make a list of
what you did. Make a list of what you did
at the end of the day, and it'll start to
embarrass you a little and you can't think of anything.
So try that for a while. It actually works. Hey,
Michael Goodwin, not with us this week. Hopefully you'll be
back next week. But when we come back, the brilliant
(22:09):
columnist Liz Peak will be with us next on seven
ten WR.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Marximoni's back on seventeen.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Wor well. Liz Peak, the brilliant columnist also has a
great website, lizpeak dot com. All kinds of great stories
and the new stuff every day lizpeak dot com. You
get a column there also at Fox News and The Hill.
Liz Peak. How you doing.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
I'm well, thank you.
Speaker 16 (22:36):
I'm delighted that the government is going to be up
and running, hopefully within days.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh I'm not. I keep it closed. We don't need
these people back there. Clearly it was a I won't
say cave in a concession on the part of Democrats,
and Schumer said I will oppose it. But obviously he
gave the wink in the nod for eight people to
jump ship. Right.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
I don't know if he did.
Speaker 16 (23:00):
I think that Schumer has kind of lost his way, honestly,
and look he is getting blasted again for allowing this
vote to take place, and for conceding, for actually for
winning nothing. That's the thing, Mark, is that what did
(23:21):
the Democrats get from all this? What did they get
from endangering air travelers in America and throwing hundreds of
thousands of government employees off their payrolls and for causing
SNAP beneficiaries to have a heart attack because they weren't
going to get any SNAP payments.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
The answer is they got nothing zero.
Speaker 16 (23:40):
They're not going to get an automatic extension of the
Obamacare subsidies that they were supposedly fighting for. They're not
going to get a rollback of the reforms to Medicaid
that they're so opposed to. They lost, and I think, honestly,
for Schumer, this is a catastrophe. Look, their party is
already eating their own. This is just giving them more
(24:01):
defeast on.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But correct me if I'm wrong. Nobody's ever gotten anything
out of a shutdown, these shutdown caucuses like oh for fourteen,
aren't they?
Speaker 11 (24:10):
Ah?
Speaker 16 (24:11):
You know, I haven't gone back and looked at all
the ones.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
I don't know. I mean, I sort of tend to
agree with that.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
I can't really remember a time when either Republicans or
Democrats won any big points from shutting the government down
now when the GOP does it, which they did in
the Tea Party era.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Because they wanted less spending.
Speaker 16 (24:33):
Of course, when you have the entire media world with
very few exceptions on your side, as Democrats always do,
you end up being the people you know, then obviously
the GOP looks like they're responsible and they're blamed for
everything that goes wrong, so it's probably not surprising that
they don't end up winning very much in this case.
(24:53):
It really has been pretty astonishing to watch. I mean,
I tweeted out something or exed out something yesterday a
paragraph from Axios saying, it's hard to blame the Democrats.
It's hard for Republicans to blame the Democrats for the
shutdown when, after all, they control all three branches of government.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
It's like the author never heard of the filibuster. They
don't know how it works.
Speaker 16 (25:17):
I mean, really, Mark, you got to say, that's pretty
damn dishonest. And that is sort of the tone that
the left wing media, meaning all the media except for
you and me, has been treating this.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
As you know, it's all the Democrats are the good guys.
Speaker 16 (25:32):
The Republicans or like Kim Jeffries is out there every
two minutes going President Trump and the Republicans are trying
to starve the American people and that's why they won't
reopen the dem I mean, really, it's pretty appalling. You
look at his look at his Twitter feed or x feed.
That's exactly what he's been saying.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, but you know, people have to just accept the
fact Axios and Political Politico are as corrupt as those
the networks are. They're just awful.
Speaker 16 (25:57):
Well, they're just dishonest. I don't know about corrupt the honest,
and it's just a shame, you know. I Mean, at
some point I get so tired of Chris Murphy and
Richard Blumenthal and all the usual suspects, Corey Booker, etc.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
Gavin Newsom just plain lying about stuff. They do it
all the time.
Speaker 16 (26:17):
And I don't know about you, I just sort of
I just think that's wrong, and I really think it's
kind of astonishing that more Americans don't rebel against that.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Hey, if we had honest media, wouldn't they ask a
Democrat if it's the Affordable Care Act, if it's so affordable,
why would you need a subsidy to pay for it?
Speaker 11 (26:35):
That.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
I mean, when it is pretty ironic, you take a
step back. If this thing all came down to the
extension of kind of emergency premium subsidies so that people
can afford Obamacare, what does that say about Obamacare?
Speaker 8 (26:50):
What it says is that it's a failed program. It
never worked.
Speaker 16 (26:54):
The minute that the Supreme Court struck down the individual mandate,
you it was a catastrophe because the whole concept of
Obamacare was that you were going to have millions and millions,
tens of millions of Americans enrolled, including young, healthy Americans,
and you would insist on their enrolling even if they
(27:16):
didn't want to, because you had this individual mandate, and
they were going to carry the costs basically of the older,
sicker Americans who really had to have health insurance and
also signed up for Obamacare. When those young when that
young cohort, the young healthy cohort, heard that they no
longer had to buy Obamacare because the Supreme Court says
(27:38):
it's against our constitution to make somebody buy something, then
the program was done. But the Democrats never admitted it.
But now, excuse me, now they are faced with the
reality that it doesn't work without that individual mandate.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
That's a perfect explanation of the problem.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
And of course it's true.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Of course should have actual media that reports all that
explains all that, but they don't. So the Mamdani administration
is forming. It looks like a lot of people from
the Deblasio administration. So that's not I mean, it's bad,
but we got through eight years at de Blasio. We'll
get through this, all right, won't.
Speaker 16 (28:18):
We We'll get through it, but it's going to be
a pretty unpleasant time.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
And I think.
Speaker 16 (28:24):
Probably the X factor in all of this is the
anti semitism. You know, I'm look, progressives are going to
fail because their policies are bad.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Eventually we'll get rid of this guy. But it's the
cozing up to.
Speaker 16 (28:41):
People like the unindicted co conspirator in the World Trade
Center bombings that really makes me anxious.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, but again, we got through eight years of Deblasio.
Well what does it mean? What does it mean for
the Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Now, but he wasn't like a Muslim friendly with terrorists, right,
that's a pretty new thing for New York City mayor.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Well, he was pretty bad. Member honeymooned in Cuba. He
was seen with the cop killing a terrorist down there,
chesh Myers's true. Yeah, so that is true. Well, what
does this mean for the midterms? If macdonne takes over
by you know, fall of next year, it's a mess
in New York that will affect the midterms, won't it.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
Well, I think that the more that he comes up
with really crackpot ideas and tries to implement them and
they fail. Yes, the Republicans, you use that as an example,
but by the way.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
I'm sorry them having this coffee attack.
Speaker 16 (29:39):
We're already seeing Democratic Socialists attack and now challenging Hakeem Jeffries.
And my guess is AOC is going to primary Chuck Schumer.
There's going to be an awful lot of moderate traditional
Democrats under the gun as we approach the midterms. Is
that going to be good for them or for us?
(30:01):
I don't think it's very good for Democrats. And you
really do sort of see this civil war taking place
in their party. An awful lot of money is going
to be spent, I think protecting incumbents in the Democratic
Party like Schumer, who is not popular. But I think
(30:21):
most funders are going to say, well, you know, I
really don't want AOC as my Senator, So I think
they've got big problems going into the midterms.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
And yeah, ma'am, Donnie is the face of that.
Speaker 14 (30:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Imagine if John F. Kennedy came back to life and
looked at his party and said, what the hell did
you do to my Democratic Party? Unbelievable?
Speaker 8 (30:40):
He would not recognize that mark. He would not recognize it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Really, Well, everybody check out Liz Peak's columns at The
Hill or Fox News, but go to a website. There's
always a lot of great stories and analysis. Lizpeak dot com,
lizpeak dot com, Liz Peak. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Have a great day, all right, take care and yeah, well,
Michael Goodwin should be back with us next week. Miranda
Devine will be with us in the next hour. Lots
to talk about. Don't forget Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. It's
an excellent show every day at twelve noon, then at
three o'clock. You got the most listened to radio show
in the world. Sean Hannity, that's a three. He's a
(31:18):
lot of big guests today. One of them will be
me somewhere between three and five on the Sean Hannity show,
and then hey, don't forget Jimmy Fayala every night at nine,
nine to midnight. Excellent show. Right here on seven ten, WR.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You're ahead of the game just for being here, heys
Marks alone on seven ten WR.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh god, I hate this getting dark early. It's like
four fifty it's like four to fifty five and it's dark.
I can't deal with this. So hey, tomorrow, so it
will be the first really cold day. It's going to
be like in the forties, but feel like the thirties.
Tomorrow you'll really, really really feel it. Anyway, We've got
a lot to get to in the next hour. Stay
right there back after the news on seven to ten.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
You are you're listening to Mark only on.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Well, Hey, we'll get to the governor's race. We'll get
to mom, Donnie. And the shutdown looks like it's ending.
It's coming to an end. The first big vote last night.
They'll have it wrapped up, probably by Wednesday. Schumer getting
a lot of flak from Democrats. The leading Democrat right now,
probably Gavin Newsom. He's the leader of the twenty twenty
(32:28):
eight bunch, and he tweets out just one word pathetic.
Pathetic so they'll be coming after Schumer, which is good.
He deserves it, and it's gonna get settled. And then
like every other shutdown we've had, how many of you
have been through, You've been through fourteen of them. You know,
(32:49):
we'll just forget about it. Everything, we'll get back to normal.
It's just good for the Democrats have a playbook. They
all get their assignment. If you were watching the Sunday
shows yesterday, you may have start to notice that they're
not only saying the same thing, they're using these same
exact phrases. It's all coordinated. They do a conference call
(33:10):
and it comes from K Street in Washington, DC. All
the Democrats are given their assignment what to say on
the shows, the phrases to use. One of them, which
you saw every Democrat use on the Sunday shows. Somewhere
in the middle area said if Donald Trump didn't spend
all his time on the golf course. You saw that
like fourteen times on those Sunday shows. You heard Adam
(33:31):
Shift sit, you heard Hakim Jeffrey sat. Every Democrat used
that phrase, Well, he didn't spend all his time on
the golf course. Now obviously coordinated, but also what does
it mean does he spend all his time on the
golf course. No, obviously not. You know, he plays golf
on Saturday and Sunday, and I've played golf with him
a lot of times. He plays fast. It's not four hours,
(33:53):
it's two hours. Maybe it's quick. He plays quick. So
you're entitled on Saturday and Sunday to take the day off.
You know, Obama liked to play basketball. He didn't like golf.
He liked to play basketball. He even had a basketball court,
put it in the White House. We could play basketball,
and Saturday and Sunday he would go on that basketball
(34:15):
court and play basketball. I never heard anybody say, well,
he didn't spend all this time playing basketball. Every president
does something on the weekends. Every president has a hobby
of some kind. Nixon liked to read Saturday and Sunday,
sit around and read. They didn't say, well, he didn't
spend all his time reading. You're entitled on Saturday and
Sunday to take a couple of hours on Saturday and
(34:35):
Sunday to do whatever your hobby is. So a crazy
talking point they were using. Nancy Pelosi is leaving. That's
the good news. The fascinating part is her amazing career
in the stock market. She is up over the last
few years. Warren Buffett, I think it's up like four
(34:58):
hundred percent or something. Her is portfolio, her portfolio. This
is not a joke. Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent.
Seventeen thousand percent. That's the greatest ever trading record in
the history of the stock exchange. Nobody has ever been
up like that, No hedge fund, no anybody. Now, obviously
(35:18):
she did it with insider trading. When you are in Congress,
you get access to all kinds of information before anybody else.
You know what company's going to get a ruling against them,
what company's going to get a ruling for them, and
you can trade based on that. It's legal. I don't
know how this ever happened, but it's legal for people
(35:38):
in Congress to engage in insider trading. It's got to
be outlawed. But the only people can outlawd the congressmen themselves.
So Pelosi was the king, the queen of insider trading.
Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. She's made hundreds
of millions of dollars in Congress. She was asked about it.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
Your career.
Speaker 10 (35:58):
Has her husband m maybe purchase of SALB some information
you received from you.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
No, No, you're up seventeen thousand percent. Did you use
your insider note? No, no, no, just sheare brilliance on
her part, but it's done all the time, not on
a smaller scale. You got this new Jersey governor elect,
Mikey Cheryl, who's brand new, just started. But in her
brief little time in Congress, she somehow made seven million
(36:28):
trading stock, just like that, seven million, And our friend
down the hall there, Charlemagne, asked her, but did you
make seven million trading stocks?
Speaker 17 (36:38):
There is no individual stock trading. It's not as if
I go sit on the House Arm Service Committee and
suddenly I'm trading Boeing or something. There's none of that.
I'm totally out of individual stocks. And I, like I said,
I think every member of Congress shall be, well.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
Did you make seven million in stock trees at all? Well?
Speaker 7 (36:55):
I haven't.
Speaker 17 (36:58):
I don't believe I did, but i'd have to go
see what that was alluding to it.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Now you know how much money you got to have
to not notice if you've made seven million to not
notice seven million showing up in your bank account or
your stock account. If you didn't notice seven million, you
got to be worth hundreds of millions not to notice
seven million. I mean, if you're Elon Musk and an
extra seven million showed up in your stock portfolio, you
(37:27):
might not note. Who's going to notice you got five
hundred billion. Who's going to know a seven million? But
she didn't notice the seven million anyway? Hey, yea. The
good news is there's some indictments coming. The Grand Jury
approved subpoenas for John Brennan, the dirty former CIA director.
But it looks like they're going after Strack and Page,
(37:47):
all the people that did that disgusting Russia witch hunt hoax.
One by one. They'll be going after all of them.
So that's that's good news. Expect that pretty soon. So
the race for governor, you got to Hokel in trouble. Obviously,
people can't stand Hokel and she's embracing Mamdannie. You know,
(38:08):
they had that big Democrat conference in Puerto Rico. They
called the somos whatever that stands for, but it's basically
they say it's to relax in a conference. It's a
conference when they're all to talk to each other. But
as Curtis would say, it's whining, dining, and pocket lining
kind of a deal. And they had to do a
(38:30):
couple of joint appearances and Hokel was all over Mam Donnie,
introducing them, praising them, holding hands with him. So you'll
see Stefanic at least Stephonic running against Nancy Hochel. Kathy
Hochel for governor. This could be an interesting race.
Speaker 18 (38:47):
This is a toxic governor who has a record of
delivering the highest taxes in the nation, of hurting hard
working New Yorkers, of turning her back on law enforcement
officers and small businesses. New York is in catastrophe because
Caathy Hocheal's leadership nasophonic.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
She's Ferosias going after Hokel, and she's going to time
the Mom Donnie.
Speaker 18 (39:06):
This was not a mandate, even though mom Dommi is
claiming such. He barely got over fifty percent, So that
is really a historically low performance for someone who won
the Democrat primary. That means nearly half of New York
City voters, which is traditionally a Democrat city, voted against
mom Dommi because they know he is so radical he's
out of touch with hard working families, with small businesses
(39:27):
who are already crushed by the highest taxes in the nation.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, she's right, Mom Donnie. He did get a majority
fifty point four percent, but remember he was up against
the biggest loser in the world, Andrew Cuomo. Curtis is
a good candidate, but remember everybody on Earth, every major figure,
was telling you not to vote for Curtis, so nobody
could have I mean, there's nobody in the history of
(39:52):
an election they ever had to shoot greased for them
more than Cuomo. I mean, the runway was cleared for him,
and he still couldn't pull it off. That's how Mam
Donnie won. Stephanic will be a big, big, tough challenger
to Hochel.
Speaker 18 (40:06):
She's an accidental governor. She's only in this position because
she was Cuomo's lieutenant governor and when New Yorkers were
looking for strong leadership from a governor. Not to bend
the knee to Zorn Mamdami, Kathy hoche Benthany.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
Why did she do that?
Speaker 18 (40:20):
Because she is hemorrhaging support even in her own party
among Democrats.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, now she's going to have a lot of people
going after But who's going to go after her? Aoc Well,
a lot of people don't take her seriously. Schumer is
an old, dried up fossil Hakeem Jefferies. He talks like
a robot. He talks. He's such a robotic guy. He's
already going after Stephanic.
Speaker 19 (40:40):
You know, at least Stephonic is nothing more than a
handmaiden for Donald Trump's extreme policy. She's a sickophant who
has been a repeated rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Yes, he's one of those guys on the conference call.
He repeats whatever he's told to. If the President didn't
spend all his time on a golf court. And you know,
she's supposed to use the word extreme. President Trump's extreme agenda,
with his extreme policies is extreme. Maga extreme magit? What
is so extreme? What extreme policies? What's the most extreme thing?
(41:13):
What ice simply enforcing the law? Following the law? That's extreme?
Since when there'll be ads against Hochel.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Now elis Stephonic is running for governor of New York
to do what.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
He's This is a this is a hocal ad, This
is Hokal's actually used against Tephanic.
Speaker 7 (41:30):
Now elist Stephonic is running for governor of New York
to do what she's always done, put Trump first.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
She is phenomenal, she is a friend of.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Mine, phenomenal at putting Trump ahead of you.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Oh my god, she knows Trump. That's going to be
their whole campaign. So here's the problem for Republicans. You're
going to have possibly a big primary because Bruce Blakeman,
the brilliant county executive, best county executive in America Nassau County.
I hear he wants to run. So if he runs
against Stefanic, that is one tough choice. Stephonic. Everybody loves
(42:05):
she's a pit bull, she's great, but it's Blakeman who's
the actual executive who has actual management experience running a county,
which is like being the governor of Nassau County. So
he's the guy with more experience. He's the best county executive.
He'd be a great governor. That's a tough choice. That's
a very very tough primary. Now a Stephanic would probably
(42:26):
do better upstate because she's got that kind of an
upstate kind of a sound, and she talks kind of fashions.
She's very upstate. Bruce Blakeman is more of a sophisticated
city slicker type of guy. But half the votes for
governor are right here in New York City. You got
to do really well in New York City. I would
imagine Blakeman does much better in New York City than Stefanic.
(42:48):
He'd have to go upstate and campaign, but got a
hell of a hell of a resume. But this is
a really tough one for Republicans, a really tough primary
coming up next year. Hey, rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
you know, it gets tough. They've cleaned it up. It's
a much better rock and Roll Hall of Fame now
than it was a few years ago. But it's tough
(43:10):
with you. Like in the year, you know, the first
year rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Elvis Beatles, you know,
you put everybody in, but when you get the year
forty five, you know you're starting to run out of people.
So it was it was a bad company. I mean
they were okay, bad company, but rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. But then you got to perform the hits
(43:31):
of bad company. It's okay, I mean, they're not the
Beatles the Bad Company. They're not the Rolling Stones. You
know you're thirty seven, you run out of pa Hey,
we love Cyndi Lauper. Who could not like Cyndi Lauper
She got in.
Speaker 20 (43:43):
I know that I stand on the shoulders of the
women in the industry that came before me, and my
shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come
after me stand online.
Speaker 13 (43:56):
And and the other.
Speaker 20 (44:00):
Thing that I thought was really important, which is why
I really came here tonight, is to tell you that
the little kid in me still believes that rock and
roll can save the world. So I just want to say,
now of all times, let's come together again and do
(44:23):
good in the world because he needs us.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yeah, we'll get right on that, but we love her.
Then they got a lot of great performances on the
show Toll Be, you know, tightened up, edited down Be,
a great TV special. Elton John performed, Elton John did
the Beach Boys hit. Elton John still sounds good. He
lost a lot of rains in his voice, but still
sounds good. David Letterman there, Santa Claus himself. Warren Zevon
(44:50):
gave Letteriman his guitar. I guess he knew he was
didn't have much longer to go and told let Himan
to take care of it. He brought it to the ceremony.
Was you he's done one of the Sun's. Well, here's
let him in on that show. And then the thing
about enjoy every sandwich.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
You know that that's easy, but it's deeply meaningful.
Speaker 12 (45:09):
And there's not a person in this room who hasn't
considered that.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
But nobody can hang on to that on a daily basis.
But by God, isn't that true of life around the planet. Yeah,
I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds good.
But the beard, the beard, I don't know. He said
he has that beard because he doesn't want you to
ever confuse him with the old David Letterman. He's like
a new, different guy. All right, Hey, mom, Donnie is
(45:34):
putting together his team. The five or six names we've
seen already are all ex de Blasio administration. One is
from the Adams administration. So it's gonna be bad. But again,
if it's all these Deblasio people picking to Blasio administration people,
we got through eight years at the Blasio. We'll get
through this. Now here's the interesting part. Brad Lander, who's
(45:55):
a really awful, awful guy. You saw him in the primaries,
really kooky, left wing, disgusting. He's Jewish, but he embraced
every anti Semitic, stupid, anti Israel thing in the world.
So people really just came to really dislike brad Lander.
But he was a big help to Mom Donnie in
the primary. But they've made it clear no brad Lander
(46:18):
in the administration. He's out. They have kicked him to
the curb. So there's one good thing Mom Donnie has done.
Why would he do that? Is he just so? Does
he not have any gratitude? Is he not loyal? Well?
People said that behind the scenes brad Lander, who's an
obnoxious guy, really obnoxious guy, they say, behind the scenes,
(46:40):
he was running around telling everybody he'll be running city hall.
He'll be running things in a Mam Donnie as well.
It got back to Mam Donnie, brad Lander is out.
So that's good. Hey, we'll 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 1 (47:00):
Always a step ahead of the news. Here's more marks
amone on seven to ten wo r Oh.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
My god, what's going on? I just heard Andy Williams
and jose Feliciano and Christophy is a kid. The tree
is up in Rockefeller Center, no lights on it yet.
They got a decorative but they actually put it up Saturday.
Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing, Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
Speaker 21 (47:26):
I think it's pretty obvious that the governor's race it's
going to be Hulcal slamming Trump and Stephonic trying to
slam Mandani. By the way, she should pronounce his name right,
because as trivial as it as it sounds, they'll hammer
her for it.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
But I think, right yeah, wa Al Sharpton would say
to go Mam Dammy.
Speaker 21 (47:46):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 8 (47:48):
That's okay with me.
Speaker 11 (47:49):
But right now Trump's name is more toxic than Mom Danny's,
and it's unfortunate, and I think Stephonic will run away
from Trump. And Hulks mentioned Trump's name in every sets
of every speech she makes, and I think it's really
a problem for Stephanic.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
I don't know, a year from now, you're going to
be better being linked to Trump than to Mom Donnie and.
Speaker 21 (48:11):
From your mouth to God's ears, I hope.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
So all right, thanks for Collin. Yeah, yes, you will
be linked to Bray. Bruce Blakeman and Trump been very
good friends, very close. Trump's a big Bruce Blakeman supporter,
so they'll have the same problem too. Let's go to
uh Nat in New Hyde Park, Nat. How you doing good?
Speaker 22 (48:30):
Good?
Speaker 14 (48:30):
A great show, Mark as usual, I learned more from
you than everybody else.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Really, send you a bill for tuition. We're gonna be
like Harvard. We're gonna charge at ninety five thousand this semester.
Speaker 14 (48:43):
Go ahead, Okay, Anyway, I think Stephanic should go up
to Schumer's seat. I think she could easily beat AOC
and I think she would make a great senator. And
I think Blakeman would be a much better governor.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yeah, you know what, that's a very very very good point.
That's an excellent point. With Schumer running, you know, nobody
could ever run against him. Had The problem is when
he was in the race, the big Republican donors all
wanted him because he that's Schumer's main business donor favors.
He takes care of the donors, so the Republicans everybody
got behind Schumer with him out of the race, AOC
(49:21):
is not big on those donor favors. For the first time,
a Republican would have a shot. It's a statewide race,
so Republican would have a shot. Stephani would be great
at senator. You're right, that's a good, good idea. Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
Speaker 22 (49:34):
Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Mara.
Speaker 11 (49:38):
Mark.
Speaker 22 (49:39):
Did you see that photo op that Mandami took with
his transition team the day after the election? Yeah, those women,
it looked like it was the escape from the dog pound.
Should hand out leashes pound mob. Everybody talking about Trump
(50:00):
playing golf, well, at least he's playing golf on golf
courses that he built with his own money and his
own construction company, whereas Obama was playing basketball at the
White House on a two hundred and fifty million dollar
basketball court that we, the sucker citizens paid for. So
(50:21):
these people better get their fact straight. Trump is playing
on two hours a week, which is actually good physical
exercise for a man like him, and we're getting sucking
for the bill of Obama's basketball court. Marking the business
pages of the New York post yesterday, Charlie Gasparino had
(50:44):
a good article about Zoramondami style alleged takeover everything. Thank God,
in nineteen seventy five, you carry and feelings, Roatan, they
played put in this law called the Financial Emergency Act
of nineteen seventy five. Most of the TATS revenue, since
(51:07):
New York is already on the water, any new tax revenue,
the bond holders got first DIBs on it, not Mandanmi.
He doesn't realize. He doesn't realize that a lot of
the things he's claiming he's gonna.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Do and Alred he knows he can't do. But you're right, Vincent,
great call is always great point. Yeah, check out that article,
Charlie Gasprino points. I remember New York almost went bankrupt
and the bond holders that arrescue Will Carrie and those
guys put in some real protections against the mom. Donnie.
You might not have realized at the time how important
it was, but it's going to come into play now
(51:40):
to prevent Mamdani from doing anything too crazy. Hey, when
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us. The
great columnists coming up next on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Now back to the Mark Zimon Show on wor Well.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
Miranda Divine, the biggest and best columnist around. You can
read a column in the New York Posts. Make sure
you listen to her excellent podcast. It's called pod Force one,
Great guests every week. Podforce one is available wherever you
get podcasts. And get her latest book, The Big Guys.
Whether she's written some great bestsellers. Miranda Devine, How you doing, Hey?
Speaker 9 (52:18):
Thanks so much, Mike, I'm great.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Hey. I love this column about Michelle Obama. What is
she doing? She's been on this whining tour complaining about
how bad America was to her. What is that? What
got into her?
Speaker 9 (52:32):
Well, my personal theory is that her complaints are just
so absurd. You know, she says it was such a
burden to have hair and makeup and fashion stylists when
she was at the White House, and you know how
tough life was. I just think that she's trying to
portray herself as a victim because now that the Commings
(52:54):
are in charge of her husband's party, she has to
kind of stopped them asking why she has so many
mansions and try and make them feel sorry for her.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
Ah, that's a good point, but her complaining somebody who
has a multiple twenty five million dollar mansions and flying
around in private jets all over the place. But it's
tough for people like her and Bill Clinton and to
go back to obscurity, isn't it. They just can't get
(53:27):
off the stage.
Speaker 9 (53:29):
So hard for them, you know, my heart leads. We've
got Nancy Pelosi's the other one. She's decided, at the
grand old age of eighty five, that she might decide
to retire in a couple of years. And I think
that she's doing it just in the nick of time
before Zoram you know, tax the rich Mam Danny and
(53:51):
his crew take over the party and start asking questions
about her little one hundred and forty million dollar hall
that she's dragging away from her stock tips, very very prescient,
her little little, you know, stock market portfolio.
Speaker 2 (54:12):
That's a very interesting theory that all of these dirty
politicians are going into hiding before the Communists take over.
But Mamdani so far, the people he's chosen Transition team others,
they're all extra Blasio people. So we got through Deblasio
for eight years, We'll get through this, won't we.
Speaker 9 (54:33):
Look, the problem is I think Deblasio was always high
and late to work and I'm off going to his
gym in Brooklyn, and you know, he just didn't do
a lot, and so he still created Mayhem and the
city just went downhill. So palpably on his watch. But
(54:56):
Mamdani is more of an ideologue. You know, He's more
determined and he has more energy. He really wants to
shake up the place. And that's what I worry about.
And the other thing is that with Deblasia, we're coming
off a pretty good level. You know, it was the
Rudy Giuliani Bloomberg City, and so there was a long
(55:19):
way to fall. But we don't have a long way
to fall anymore before we're just off the planet. The
city is already difficult to live in. Eric Adams has
sort of arrested the decline a little bit, but once
he's gone, you know, we're going to have violence interrupters,
(55:39):
social workers in law of police and already we have
governors from red states like Ronda Santis in Florida putting
out feelers for our NYPD officers. They're going to give
them bonuses if they move, and I think it's very
difficult for them not to sort of accept the good
(56:01):
ones anyway, not to accept those bribes to leave New York.
Speaker 22 (56:07):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Miranda Devine does an excellent podcast, one of the best
podcasts out there. It's called Podforce one. The latest one
is Eric Trump Boy. That was interesting. Tell us about
your impressions of Eric Trump.
Speaker 9 (56:20):
He is just a really delightful person. And I guess
the big takeout I get from all of the Trump
five children is just how well adjusted and kind of
decent they are. Eric Trump is really, as his father
calls him, a good boy, and he described his childhood.
(56:41):
His mother, Ivana Trump, was really tough. She was, you know,
check from basically behind the iron curtain. She was a
champion skier, and so she really ruled their family with
and discipline. And what Eric said was if it got
(57:05):
past my mum to my father, you knew were really
in trouble, But it really didn't because she just made
sure that all those energetic kids with type A personalities
that Eric describes them were held in line. And their
father also during the holidays, got them to go and
(57:26):
work on his various construction sites for minimum wage. And
Eric said he absolutely loved it, like he loved working
with his hands, like they were absolutely exhausted by the end.
Speaker 11 (57:37):
Of the day.
Speaker 9 (57:38):
And his father also said no drinking, no smoking, no drugs,
and that was the one ironclad rule for the family.
And Eric said, look, by the end of the workday,
we were so exhausted, and we also knew how hard
it had been to earn that twenty bucks that we
(57:59):
you know, I just didn't want to spend it on
a slab of beer. And he also said that, you know,
he went to all the best schools, colleges, etc. And
he said most of his peers ended up in rehab
or some sort of problem because they had too much
time and too much money.
Speaker 2 (58:19):
Yeah, it's a fascinating podcast. Go listen to its pod,
Force one. Miranda Devine's podcast latest episode is Eric Trump.
So you wrote the definitive book on Hunter Biden. So
are you saying Eric Trump was a little better raised
than Hunter was.
Speaker 12 (58:35):
Yes, yes, far better.
Speaker 9 (58:37):
And look, I don't blame Hunter, honestly, his father is
just the most treacherous and dishonest politician I think I
have ever encountered, and deeply selfish. And so when you
know that great tragedy happened in Hunter's life where his
mother who was killed in a car crash, and his
(59:00):
little sister died as well, and he and his brother
were in the back seat quite badly injured. His father
had just been elected to the Senate in a fluke,
and he could have forgone that great opportunity to stay
at home and look after his kids, but he didn't.
(59:22):
And I think all of Hunter's problems stemmed from that.
He was brought up. You know, his aunt was very decent,
his uncle, extended family brought him up, and Joe would
come home, he claimed every night on the Amtrak of
I hear other stories that when he did come home,
it was too late to do anything other than, you know,
(59:44):
looking on them when they slept. But anyway, I just
don't think he was a very good father. And you know,
poor poor Hunter, this motherless kid. And then his stepmother,
Joe Biden, when she came on the scene, and a
few years later when she was already on the scene,
(01:00:05):
but when she married Joe moved in, Hunter just felt
she didn't like him, and so that was another burden
to put up with. So and then his father, you know,
instead of letting him be an author or an artist,
which is what he wanted, his father made him be
the bag man for the family and go into business,
and he didn't really want to do that, so you
(01:00:27):
can hardly you can sort of understand why he fell
into drugs.
Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Yes, that's pretty interesting, and you have a good heart
and a good amount of sympathy for him. You should
get her book, Laptop from Hell and The Big Guy,
the two best books on the on the Biden family.
So hey, we only got a minute left. Tell me
you brought this up last time. This was so fascinating.
(01:00:54):
I got so much reaction to this. The reason for
the Trump arrangements in him, the reason they hate him
so much, it's what was it? You said? It was
the masculinity, that he's like a daddy. Why do they
hate him so much?
Speaker 9 (01:01:07):
Yeah, I mean it really is deranged. It really seems
to be a psychological problem, and women are particularly afflicted,
and it just seems like they have daddy problems. You know,
he is unabashedly a throwback masculine, you know, something that
the Left has been trying to stamp out for the
(01:01:29):
last twenty years, calling it toxic masculinity, making little boys
be ashamed of their intrinsic natures, which you know, those
intrinsic natures are what have allowed civilization to survive, human flourishing.
And you know, you stamp out strong men, what do
you get? You get a lot of toxic females. And
(01:01:51):
I think that's what trump arrangements and drum me. I mean,
I write about Jennifer Welsh, who's this atheist podcaster I
had never heard of until just recently. She's been elevated
as the kind of Democrats answer to Joe Rogan. And
she is the most toxic person I have ever seen.
Speaker 11 (01:02:10):
In my life.
Speaker 9 (01:02:11):
Really, just so such a self hating white woman. She
was there at Mamdani's victory party and she's just going
on about She's talking to two non white people who lefties,
and she's just talking about how, oh, if there were
white people here at this party, the music would be terrible,
(01:02:33):
and Americans have no culture and we need to teach
the crusty old white people about culture. We have to
teach them. She's just scary, scary woman.
Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Wow. Well, Miranda Devine brilliant as always. Get her podcast.
You got to listen to this podcast every week. It's
a pod force one wherever you get your podcast. Reader
columns in the New York Post. Make sure you get
her latest book, The Big Guy, Fascinating stuff about the Bidens.
Miranda Devine. Thanks, we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 9 (01:03:03):
Thanks Mack, You're very kind.
Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
All right, take care, Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay.
I do a wonderful show every day noon to three.
Then at three o'clock you got the most listened to
radio show in America, Sean Hannity. I'll be a guest
somewhere today, I think in the final hour on the
Sean Hannity Show. And then you got Jesse Kelly at
six and Jimmy Fayla. Boy, what a great show every
(01:03:25):
night nine to midnight. It's all right here on seven
to ten. Wr back to marshamll on wor.
Speaker 22 (01:03:35):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
We're out of time. Hey, don't get Tomorrow is Veterans
Day and the parade is tomorrow Veterans Day Parade. It's
on Fifth Avenue. It goes from about twenty fifth Street
to about forty fifth Street, so it's gonna be a
traffic mess. I'll be on the Sean Handity Show later today,
I think in the final hour. Otherwise I'll be back
tomorrow ten to noon and I'll talk to you then
(01:03:58):
right here on seven ten and w O R
You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
it all means. He smarts amone on seven to ten war.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hell, Hey, we'll get to the shutdown ending and what
it all means. We'll get to we'll get to President Trump.
What a day yesterday is a football career was highlighted
on television. We'll get to Nancy Pelosi. We'll get to mom, Donnie.
We'll get to the BBC. Total corruption over there and
(00:31):
now having a clean house, it looks like the shutdown
will end this week. Democrats, I hate to say they caved,
but they caved and gave in, and Chuck Schumer now
in big, big trouble with Democrats. Chuck Schumer still thinks
this nineteen seventy eight, thinks he can fool people with
(00:52):
his nonsense. So he, you know, pounding the table about
I don't like this disagreement and I voting against it.
It didn't fool anybody because he controls the Senate, and
he allowed eight senators to jump ship and go vote
for it. He could have kept them in line if
he wanted to, but he didn't want to, so he
(01:13):
didn't want to be on record as voting for it.
But he made sure, those eight voted for it, and
this will lead to the end of the shutdown. So Schumer,
totally behind the scenes cave thought he could fool the
voters with it, the Democrats, but they are furious at him.
It's pretty much the end of Schumer's career. He was
on the way out anyway, and couldn't he possibly get
(01:35):
reelected next year. In fact, the rumor everywhere that he'll
announce he's not running for reelection at some point, but
Democrats yelling and screaming about him. I think he thought
he could get away with it. He's just so far
behind the times. But he's in real trouble right now.
So it would it comes down to two things. One
(01:56):
is they kept talking about healthcare, the the care they
call it the Affordable Care Act, and the subsidies that
people need to pay for it. That was the main issue.
But really for many of these senators, the main issue
was the flight cancelations. Fifteen hundred flights canceled today alone,
(02:17):
So it was snarling at airports, making travel almost impossible
for a lot of people, and just screwing up everybody
who need to get on a plane. And that's Schumer,
that's people in Congress. That's their donors and a lot
of voters that they count on. They'll make it sound
like this was about healthcare for people that poverty that
(02:40):
needed it. It thrilling about the flights, and it was
screwing up the people that they talked to. You know
the other thing, you got totally corrupt media in this country.
They never ask any legitimate questions. You see all these Democrats,
all these atom shifts and all these Schumer types come
on the Sunday shows and talk about we must have
the subsidies to pay for people to have the Affordable
(03:03):
Care Act, the Obamacare. You've never heard any media person
ever say the Democrats if it's the Affordable Care Act,
if it's affordable, why would anybody need a subsidy to
pay for it. It's obviously not affordable if you need
a big government subsidy to be able to afford it.
So nobody ever brings that up. The part of the
deal is the Trump administration gave in on a couple
(03:25):
of things. They will agree to rehire everybody. There'll be
no layoffs or anything, no lost jobs as a result.
They'll rehire everybody full back pay for everybody. Figure what's today, Monday, Tuesday,
figure Wednesday. It formally ends. Everybody gets paid by the weekend.
Flights will get back to normal in time for Thanksgiving.
(03:48):
So hey, President Trump announced a lot of pardons. Was
it last night? Yeah? Last night, I remember the whole
A mount of seventy pardons. People that had something to
do with questioning the twenty twenty election. January sixthy. These
are the people that got behind it. Isn't not rioters
(04:09):
at the capitol. These are people that wanted to use
a different slate of electors. This was considered the lowest
form of treason. Now, of course you got totally corrupt media.
They never pointed out to anybody this happens all the time.
Democrats have done this, proposed alternate electors. Al Gore was
one of the people that did that. So when a
(04:30):
Republican get elected, Democrats on the floor on their January
sixth would actually say, we don't vote for these electors.
We want to vote for an alternate slate of electors.
Happens all the time. But in the case of Trump,
the double standard, the hypocrisy, They were all over them
for that, and then all the people were involved, the
(04:51):
attorneys involved Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, all these types, the
lawyers all were getting charged in all sorts of in
all sorts of places. Now, this pardon is only for
federal cases, so it doesn't affect the current cases going
on in you know, Rudy Giuliani and Georgia, Sidney Powell
and Georgia. It doesn't cover those local cases if it's
(05:12):
only for federal charges, So why do it? Is it
just symbolic? No, Actually, this is because it's possible Republicans
could lose the mid terms and Democrats could take control
of Congress next year. If that's the case, they'll you know,
these lunatics, their whole life is January sixth, one hundred
years from now, they'll be yelling about January sixth. For
(05:35):
those who don't remember, January sixth was that trespassing incident
at the Capitol. So in case the Democrats do take
control of Congress, they'll come after all these people. They'll
hold hearings, try to do criminal referrals. So that's why
a federal pardon for all of these people. Schumer on
the shutdown.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Our offer is not a new policy. This is not
negotiating in a shutdown. It's simply agreeing to maintain current
funding levels. A one year extension is something many Republicans
themselves have said they want.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Does anybody take this guy seriously?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
We will agree with the Republican Republican request not to
start negotiations until after the government reopens. All Republicans have
to do is say yes to extend current law for
one year.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know, you know he's reading it off an
index card. He's got those big, big, big glasses now,
he got rid of little Ben Franklin glasses, got rid
of those cheap sport coats. He wears an actual suit. Now.
I don't know why you think somebody's listening to this.
If you watch these crazy Sunday shows, they're all talking
about Trump's gonna cave, Trump's gonna ever watched the ABC
Sunday Show. It is the most ridiculous show in the world.
(06:47):
They got three rotating Trump haters, each one hates Trump
more than the other one. It's that old weather Beaten
what's her name? The woman I'm blanking out, Martha the
Radits Martha Raddits, and then who's the Jonathan carl who
he comes down and it pretends to be some sort
of anchorman who's objectively looking at the news. Meantime he's
(07:10):
got a book out trashing Trump about it. So and
then I think this week was actually George Stephanopolis, who's
like a pit bull just biting every day when you
watch him with a with a Republican guest, like a
pit bull, like mauling, biting, clawing. Then they come back
from the commercial, he's got a Democrat on. He's like
a gentle little poodle. Just uh, it's a ridiculous show.
(07:34):
And then they have they go to our panel and
they tell you that the panel is made up of
Democrats and Republicans, but in a massive coincidence, the only
Republicans on the panel are people that have been fired
by Donald Trump and hate Donald Trump. Chris Christie is
one of this is this is why they love Chris Christie.
They can call him a Republican, but all he does
(07:54):
is bash Trump. In fact, Trump was asked about this yesterday.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Everybody knows I know Chris better than anybody in their room.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I always felt he was guilty.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
But what he did is he took the George Washington
Bridge was very serious. He closed down the George Washington Bridge,
and you had medical people, you had ambulances caught up.
You know, this thing was closed down, and obviously he
knew about it, but he blamed the young lady that
had worked for him and another person and they got
into a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So that's the panel. It's a bunch two Democrats and
then well you have two Republicans. But just by coincidence,
there were both people fired bitterly bitter feud fightered by
Donald Trump, Ryan's prebus and Chris Christie Hey. Yesterday great
football game commanders and the Lions. President Trump leaving mar
A Lago early, like at noon, normally leaves about five o'clock,
(08:48):
but to go to the game, he did a flyover
with Air Force one over the stadium. The game, of course,
being broadcast all over the country. Trump was a big,
big star there at the game. They kept covering him.
They invited him into the booth. We the Lions guy
when he scored the touchdown, did the Trump dance in
the end zone? Liberals woke Democrats would get sick watching this,
(09:10):
but they never watched football. They never do. Some people
are now proposing to rename the stadium in Washington d C.
Trump Stadium. He was instrumental in getting the funding getting
it built. That's the reason to justify it. But the
real reason to do it is just to drive people
in Washington nuts. Just to drive the Democrats nuts because
(09:32):
every time they have to drive by it is a
big signed Trump stadium, they'll go crazy. But they had
him in the broadcast booth for about nine minutes yesterday
on the broadcast. Remember Trump actually owned a football team,
the New York Generals, or was it the New Jersey Generals.
The Generals remember herschel Walker. Remember they formed that other
football league UFL whatever it was. But Trump actually owned
(09:55):
a football team, and he was a football player in
college and in high school. And well here's Trump in
the booth yesterday.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I played tight end, but I mean it was not
quite football like this.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was a little bit easier.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
It wasn't so tough, and we had a quarterback who
didn't have a very strong arm. I would say ten
yards was a long pass.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, So he was pretty good there. They kept him
on a long time.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I love the Jets and I love the Giants. I
had a lot of friends Baptish and some people that
owned the Giants, at the time as we're going along
and progressing, and you know, look, we had a couple
of Super Bowls with the Giants. The Jets have been
having a little bit of a hard time. Woody's a
great guy. He's a great friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Get it together, Yeah, Woody Johnson's a great guy. The
worst owner in the history of sports, nobody's a close second,
single worst owner in the history of sports. Hey, you
probably didn't watch Saturday Night Live, And if you do,
it's hard to stay with it more than ten minutes.
It's just not that funny anymore. But Saturday Night Live
(10:58):
doing a lot of jokes about about the election, about
all that stuff. Opening, you know, the opening sketch was
really stupid. It was You may have seen this incident
in the White House. They're having a little briefing in
the White House with the heads of the drug companies.
They're going to make those ozempic type drugs cheaper, make
(11:18):
them available on medicare, all these pharmaceutical types in the room,
and a guy collapses right in the Oval office. There's
like all the presses there, all these people. A guy
just passed. We didn't know if he had a heart
attack or he passed out or what, he just collapsed
and these guys there are officials from these medical companies,
pharmaceutical company, so he assume they know something medical. But
(11:41):
they as he collapsed, they put him on the ground
and doctor Oz is standing there. He's part of the briefing.
As soon as it happens, doctor Oz is right over
there tending the guy. So everybody gets out of the
way and doctor Oz is trying to help the guy.
And the Saturday Night Life opening sketch was about how
Donald Trump is obvious see some sort of psycho. He
(12:01):
saw a man passing out. He did nothing. He just
stood there, which made no sense. You got one of
the greatest doctors on the face of the earth, doctor Oz,
right there. He runs over. He's taking care of the guy.
Would you jump in and interfere with that? No, nobody would. Also,
the White House Medical Office is about forty seconds away.
They threw the press out of the room, so we
(12:22):
didn't see all of this. But the White House Medical
Office is a very very serious thing. It's got a
bunch of doctors, nurses in there. They got all kinds
of equipment. It's pretty much like a little emergency room,
right in the White House. But then Saturday Night Live
opening sketch is usually something you want to watch, and
then after that it's all downhill. Then they do that
weekend update, the fake news, the fake newscast they did
(12:46):
go after a well, now, listen to this. They talk
about mom Donnie, who watches Saturday Night Live, Who's in
that audience, what type of people take a listen. This
will show you exactly what type.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
On Tuesdays are on Mom. Donnie was elect mayor.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
He was elected.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
A lot of sleeve offans. She was elected mayor despite
his opponent Andrew Cuomo, receiving endorsements from Donald Trump and
Eric Adams, which is like trying to bring a girl
home by saying, not to brag, but I have hepatitis
B and C.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
But listen to that ovation from Donnie winning and Cuomo.
You know, at the end of the year, which is
not that far away, I hate to say it, but
in the month and a half at the end of
the year, they always do that the winner of the
year loser of the year. Usually you wait to see
who who will people pick? Well, with loser of the year,
you don't have to wait for anything. It's obviously Andrew
Cuomo getting ridiculed on Saturday Night Live, Andrew Cuomo the
(13:52):
loser of the year. You know, if Curtis had not
been in the race, if there was no Curtis, it
wouldn't have helped Andrew Cuomo at all. In fact, at
the very end, if you took every Curtis voter and
added it to Cuomo, he still lost by a few points.
And this is with every possible advantage, everybody everywhere telling
everybody to vote for Cuoma the president, everybody. Even with that,
(14:17):
he couldn't win. And boy and Saturday Night Live, they
went after Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Andrew Cuomo spent the last day before the election campaigning
around the city and a.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
White Ford Bronco, which is what O. J.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Simpson used to get away from police.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
But at least oj was ahead and the race for
a while.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
So Cuomo just getting ridiculed by everybody. Let's see if
he leaves New York City. He was always in Westchester,
his whole a doubt life Westchester. When it looked like
he wanted to run from mayor, he rented an apartment
in the city so he could be a New York
City resident during the campaign. But it's over. Now, let's
see if he goes back to Westchester, where he goes, Hey,
(14:59):
we got a lot coming up. We'll get back to
Mom Donnie and what's next. There's some interesting developments there.
Who's in, who's out with Mom Donnie? And a whole
lot more to talk about. We'll take some calls next.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
number eight hundred three two one zero seven.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Ten give wr obre said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear Mark Simone and all the WOR hosts in an instance.
Now back to the Mark Simo show on WR.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh, let's
go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
I'm doing very well. Thank you.
Speaker 11 (15:43):
Mark.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
From what you describe, it sounds like the Sunday Morning
talk show, especially with George Stephanopoulos, is like the View
only on Sunday. And I have to ask number one,
we know he's not a true journalist. And number two,
why don't they follow the lead of CBS and just
not renew his contract?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
George Stephanopolis, I don't know he's convinced the ABC top
people of the Disney people, that he is the most
connected guy in the democratic world, that he's a powerful
force there. I don't know how he's convinced him of this,
but somehow they fell for it, and they're just afraid
to fire him. At some point they actually will. You know,
(16:24):
you got the View the ABC Sunday Morning this week
with George Stephanoppolis. They're all the same things, just different.
You know, one is the low IQ Show, the View
one is the high IQ Show. But you watch the
Sunday Show on ABC, you won't know what's going on.
They actually say I saw that in a bunch of
Sunday shows. They've actually said the phrase with inflation raging,
(16:49):
there's no raging. Inflation three percent? It was nine percent
under Biden. You never mentioned it. Under Biden, you never
heard about it. It was triple what it is now
you get this word affordability. This is the crisis affordability.
We had the worst inflation under Joe Biden in history.
Did you ever hear them use the word affordability? Never
(17:09):
even mentioned it. They've never mentioned the word till now.
Let's go to Bruce in West Milford. Bruce, how you doing, Hey? Mark?
Speaker 12 (17:16):
Nice target It listen. I live in West Milford about
seven miles away.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Is Derek somebody chasing you? Why are you talking so fast? Oh?
Speaker 12 (17:23):
Because on my work we live about seven miles from
Derek jeters old Clomo wants to buy.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It Derek jeters old house.
Speaker 12 (17:31):
Yeah, the one he just sold for fourteen million dollars
or something.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Where's that in Greenville, Ke, New York.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
It's right on the border. Anyway, I want to say
about I was watching the TV on Westfield, all the
snap people picking up their They all got brand new
SUVs and everything. I can't understand it. Where did I
go room?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I don't know, don't. I don't believe that. Andrew Crolomo
will tell you he's got He's looking to buy this
house for fourteen May. These are rumors, just rumors, no
no verification of that. I can't fixture Andrew Cromo living
way up there. But let's go to Don in New
York's Don how you doing?
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (18:02):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Mark?
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Yes, wondering whatever became of Jonathan Schwartz.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Jonathan Schwartz is alive and well. I saw him the
other day, one of the greatest radio show hosts ever
in history. His Sunday show for many, many years. Legendary.
He's retired now but looks good and it's still still
around and glad you remember him. That was one of
the greatest radio hosts ever. Nobody better on Sinatra, no
(18:29):
better musicologists in the world, and no better storyteller. He
could out do Jeene Shepherd or any of them. Let's
go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing Yo?
Speaker 14 (18:41):
How you doing?
Speaker 15 (18:42):
Mark? You know every election there's a PSA that floats
around before every election. It says you run out of
every five kids. Yeah, that's not even boats. They have
now a new dittyguary called food insecure.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, that is the dumb wre You're not supposed to
stay hungry anymore, you know, we have our hunger THI
on battling hunger. You're not supposed to say You're supposed
to say food insecure. It's the dumbest phrase, Like guess
at some point it's like a flood victim. You can't
say flood victim. There, dryness insecure, food insecure? What the
(19:22):
hell does that mean? Let's go to Margaret in Westchester. Margaret,
how you doing.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
I'm doing well? Yes, Margaret, I really like to speak
is it marks them OWD let me check, Yes, it
is okay. I just have several things to say. Things
are so mixed up, and if people only check things
before they started talking, and if they weren't jealous of
(19:47):
each other, things would not be as bad as they are.
If everyone just concentrates on what they're really supposed to do. Yes,
And I'm wanting to say, menching you for a long time.
It's just an out of concentration figuring things out, being respectful,
being respectful.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Kidding, kidding. Where do you live in Westchester?
Speaker 13 (20:11):
I live on the Tellam there Rochelle Border. Oh, very
nice complex.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah, there's there a lot of seniors.
Speaker 13 (20:17):
There, many seniors, many young children and a view of
the water of Long Island. Sound.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Oh there you go like near a premium point.
Speaker 13 (20:27):
Yes, yes, really nice and.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
All your seniors there. It's kind of a lot of
wild parties and stuff like that.
Speaker 13 (20:34):
No, no, very nice things by gone on Halloween and everything.
All nice things, all really nice things. Yeah, and you
do a lot of good things, and just we have
to just get things together and let people realize what
they're doing and do what they're supposed to do with
their jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So what you're saying, is we have to do what
we're supposed to do, and what we're supposed to do,
we should just go Is that what you're.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Saying exactly exactly?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
All right, thanks for a calling. That'sald like a nice
woman there in Margaret. All right, So everybody remember that
whatever it is you do, make sure you do it.
I don't know what that means. Now. Every day I
make up a to do list. I used to have
it on a piece of paper, and now it's on
the phone. It's an app with your to do list.
(21:25):
Every day, make up this are all the things I
need to do today. Then at the end of the day,
I see I did none of them. This is, you know,
the good thing about having on an app because the
old way you had to like rewrite it every day.
This way you just leave it there on the app. Now,
a very wise guy that once said, because you probably
do this too, stop with the two do list. Don't
(21:47):
make the two do list. You're never going to do it.
What you should do at the end of every day,
at the end of the day, make a list of
what you did. Make a list of what you did
at the end of the day, and it'll start to
embarrass you a little and you can't think of anything.
So try that for a while. It actually works. Hey,
Michael Goodwin, not with us this week. Hopefully you'll be
back next week. But when we come back, the brilliant
(22:09):
columnist Liz Peak will be with us next on seven
ten WR.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Marximoni's back on seventeen.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Wor well. Liz Peak, the brilliant columnist also has a
great website, lizpeak dot com. All kinds of great stories
and the new stuff every day lizpeak dot com. You
get a column there also at Fox News and The Hill.
Liz Peak. How you doing.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
I'm well, thank you.
Speaker 16 (22:36):
I'm delighted that the government is going to be up
and running, hopefully within days.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh I'm not. I keep it closed. We don't need
these people back there. Clearly it was a I won't
say cave in a concession on the part of Democrats,
and Schumer said I will oppose it. But obviously he
gave the wink in the nod for eight people to
jump ship. Right.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
I don't know if he did.
Speaker 16 (23:00):
I think that Schumer has kind of lost his way, honestly,
and look he is getting blasted again for allowing this
vote to take place, and for conceding, for actually for
winning nothing. That's the thing, Mark, is that what did
(23:21):
the Democrats get from all this? What did they get
from endangering air travelers in America and throwing hundreds of
thousands of government employees off their payrolls and for causing
SNAP beneficiaries to have a heart attack because they weren't
going to get any SNAP payments.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
The answer is they got nothing zero.
Speaker 16 (23:40):
They're not going to get an automatic extension of the
Obamacare subsidies that they were supposedly fighting for. They're not
going to get a rollback of the reforms to Medicaid
that they're so opposed to. They lost, and I think, honestly,
for Schumer, this is a catastrophe. Look, their party is
already eating their own. This is just giving them more
(24:01):
defeast on.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But correct me if I'm wrong. Nobody's ever gotten anything
out of a shutdown, these shutdown caucuses like oh for fourteen,
aren't they?
Speaker 11 (24:10):
Ah?
Speaker 16 (24:11):
You know, I haven't gone back and looked at all
the ones.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
I don't know. I mean, I sort of tend to
agree with that.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
I can't really remember a time when either Republicans or
Democrats won any big points from shutting the government down
now when the GOP does it, which they did in
the Tea Party era.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Because they wanted less spending.
Speaker 16 (24:33):
Of course, when you have the entire media world with
very few exceptions on your side, as Democrats always do,
you end up being the people you know, then obviously
the GOP looks like they're responsible and they're blamed for
everything that goes wrong, so it's probably not surprising that
they don't end up winning very much in this case.
(24:53):
It really has been pretty astonishing to watch. I mean,
I tweeted out something or exed out something yesterday a
paragraph from Axios saying, it's hard to blame the Democrats.
It's hard for Republicans to blame the Democrats for the
shutdown when, after all, they control all three branches of government.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
It's like the author never heard of the filibuster. They
don't know how it works.
Speaker 16 (25:17):
I mean, really, Mark, you got to say, that's pretty
damn dishonest. And that is sort of the tone that
the left wing media, meaning all the media except for
you and me, has been treating this.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
As you know, it's all the Democrats are the good guys.
Speaker 16 (25:32):
The Republicans or like Kim Jeffries is out there every
two minutes going President Trump and the Republicans are trying
to starve the American people and that's why they won't
reopen the dem I mean, really, it's pretty appalling. You
look at his look at his Twitter feed or x feed.
That's exactly what he's been saying.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, but you know, people have to just accept the
fact Axios and Political Politico are as corrupt as those
the networks are. They're just awful.
Speaker 16 (25:57):
Well, they're just dishonest. I don't know about corrupt the honest,
and it's just a shame, you know. I Mean, at
some point I get so tired of Chris Murphy and
Richard Blumenthal and all the usual suspects, Corey Booker, etc.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
Gavin Newsom just plain lying about stuff. They do it
all the time.
Speaker 16 (26:17):
And I don't know about you, I just sort of
I just think that's wrong, and I really think it's
kind of astonishing that more Americans don't rebel against that.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Hey, if we had honest media, wouldn't they ask a
Democrat if it's the Affordable Care Act, if it's so affordable,
why would you need a subsidy to pay for it?
Speaker 11 (26:35):
That.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
I mean, when it is pretty ironic, you take a
step back. If this thing all came down to the
extension of kind of emergency premium subsidies so that people
can afford Obamacare, what does that say about Obamacare?
Speaker 8 (26:50):
What it says is that it's a failed program. It
never worked.
Speaker 16 (26:54):
The minute that the Supreme Court struck down the individual mandate,
you it was a catastrophe because the whole concept of
Obamacare was that you were going to have millions and millions,
tens of millions of Americans enrolled, including young, healthy Americans,
and you would insist on their enrolling even if they
(27:16):
didn't want to, because you had this individual mandate, and
they were going to carry the costs basically of the older,
sicker Americans who really had to have health insurance and
also signed up for Obamacare. When those young when that
young cohort, the young healthy cohort, heard that they no
longer had to buy Obamacare because the Supreme Court says
(27:38):
it's against our constitution to make somebody buy something, then
the program was done. But the Democrats never admitted it.
But now, excuse me, now they are faced with the
reality that it doesn't work without that individual mandate.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
That's a perfect explanation of the problem.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
And of course it's true.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Of course should have actual media that reports all that
explains all that, but they don't. So the Mamdani administration
is forming. It looks like a lot of people from
the Deblasio administration. So that's not I mean, it's bad,
but we got through eight years at de Blasio. We'll
get through this, all right, won't.
Speaker 16 (28:18):
We We'll get through it, but it's going to be
a pretty unpleasant time.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
And I think.
Speaker 16 (28:24):
Probably the X factor in all of this is the
anti semitism. You know, I'm look, progressives are going to
fail because their policies are bad.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Eventually we'll get rid of this guy. But it's the
cozing up to.
Speaker 16 (28:41):
People like the unindicted co conspirator in the World Trade
Center bombings that really makes me anxious.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, but again, we got through eight years of Deblasio.
Well what does it mean? What does it mean for
the Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Now, but he wasn't like a Muslim friendly with terrorists, right,
that's a pretty new thing for New York City mayor.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Well, he was pretty bad. Member honeymooned in Cuba. He
was seen with the cop killing a terrorist down there,
chesh Myers's true. Yeah, so that is true. Well, what
does this mean for the midterms? If macdonne takes over
by you know, fall of next year, it's a mess
in New York that will affect the midterms, won't it.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
Well, I think that the more that he comes up
with really crackpot ideas and tries to implement them and
they fail. Yes, the Republicans, you use that as an example,
but by the way.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
I'm sorry them having this coffee attack.
Speaker 16 (29:39):
We're already seeing Democratic Socialists attack and now challenging Hakeem Jeffries.
And my guess is AOC is going to primary Chuck Schumer.
There's going to be an awful lot of moderate traditional
Democrats under the gun as we approach the midterms. Is
that going to be good for them or for us?
(30:01):
I don't think it's very good for Democrats. And you
really do sort of see this civil war taking place
in their party. An awful lot of money is going
to be spent, I think protecting incumbents in the Democratic
Party like Schumer, who is not popular. But I think
(30:21):
most funders are going to say, well, you know, I
really don't want AOC as my Senator, So I think
they've got big problems going into the midterms.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
And yeah, ma'am, Donnie is the face of that.
Speaker 14 (30:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Imagine if John F. Kennedy came back to life and
looked at his party and said, what the hell did
you do to my Democratic Party? Unbelievable?
Speaker 8 (30:40):
He would not recognize that mark. He would not recognize it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Really, Well, everybody check out Liz Peak's columns at The
Hill or Fox News, but go to a website. There's
always a lot of great stories and analysis. Lizpeak dot com,
lizpeak dot com, Liz Peak. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Have a great day, all right, take care and yeah, well,
Michael Goodwin should be back with us next week. Miranda
Devine will be with us in the next hour. Lots
to talk about. Don't forget Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. It's
an excellent show every day at twelve noon, then at
three o'clock. You got the most listened to radio show
in the world. Sean Hannity, that's a three. He's a
(31:18):
lot of big guests today. One of them will be
me somewhere between three and five on the Sean Hannity show,
and then hey, don't forget Jimmy Fayala every night at nine,
nine to midnight. Excellent show. Right here on seven ten, WR.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You're ahead of the game just for being here, heys
Marks alone on seven ten WR.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh god, I hate this getting dark early. It's like
four fifty it's like four to fifty five and it's dark.
I can't deal with this. So hey, tomorrow, so it
will be the first really cold day. It's going to
be like in the forties, but feel like the thirties.
Tomorrow you'll really, really really feel it. Anyway, We've got
a lot to get to in the next hour. Stay
right there back after the news on seven to ten.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
You are you're listening to Mark only on.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Well, Hey, we'll get to the governor's race. We'll get
to mom, Donnie. And the shutdown looks like it's ending.
It's coming to an end. The first big vote last night.
They'll have it wrapped up, probably by Wednesday. Schumer getting
a lot of flak from Democrats. The leading Democrat right now,
probably Gavin Newsom. He's the leader of the twenty twenty
(32:28):
eight bunch, and he tweets out just one word pathetic.
Pathetic so they'll be coming after Schumer, which is good.
He deserves it, and it's gonna get settled. And then
like every other shutdown we've had, how many of you
have been through, You've been through fourteen of them. You know,
(32:49):
we'll just forget about it. Everything, we'll get back to normal.
It's just good for the Democrats have a playbook. They
all get their assignment. If you were watching the Sunday
shows yesterday, you may have start to notice that they're
not only saying the same thing, they're using these same
exact phrases. It's all coordinated. They do a conference call
(33:10):
and it comes from K Street in Washington, DC. All
the Democrats are given their assignment what to say on
the shows, the phrases to use. One of them, which
you saw every Democrat use on the Sunday shows. Somewhere
in the middle area said if Donald Trump didn't spend
all his time on the golf course. You saw that
like fourteen times on those Sunday shows. You heard Adam
(33:31):
Shift sit, you heard Hakim Jeffrey sat. Every Democrat used
that phrase, Well, he didn't spend all his time on
the golf course. Now obviously coordinated, but also what does
it mean does he spend all his time on the
golf course. No, obviously not. You know, he plays golf
on Saturday and Sunday, and I've played golf with him
a lot of times. He plays fast. It's not four hours,
(33:53):
it's two hours. Maybe it's quick. He plays quick. So
you're entitled on Saturday and Sunday to take the day off.
You know, Obama liked to play basketball. He didn't like golf.
He liked to play basketball. He even had a basketball court,
put it in the White House. We could play basketball,
and Saturday and Sunday he would go on that basketball
(34:15):
court and play basketball. I never heard anybody say, well,
he didn't spend all this time playing basketball. Every president
does something on the weekends. Every president has a hobby
of some kind. Nixon liked to read Saturday and Sunday,
sit around and read. They didn't say, well, he didn't
spend all his time reading. You're entitled on Saturday and
Sunday to take a couple of hours on Saturday and
(34:35):
Sunday to do whatever your hobby is. So a crazy
talking point they were using. Nancy Pelosi is leaving. That's
the good news. The fascinating part is her amazing career
in the stock market. She is up over the last
few years. Warren Buffett, I think it's up like four
(34:58):
hundred percent or something. Her is portfolio, her portfolio. This
is not a joke. Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent.
Seventeen thousand percent. That's the greatest ever trading record in
the history of the stock exchange. Nobody has ever been
up like that, No hedge fund, no anybody. Now, obviously
(35:18):
she did it with insider trading. When you are in Congress,
you get access to all kinds of information before anybody else.
You know what company's going to get a ruling against them,
what company's going to get a ruling for them, and
you can trade based on that. It's legal. I don't
know how this ever happened, but it's legal for people
(35:38):
in Congress to engage in insider trading. It's got to
be outlawed. But the only people can outlawd the congressmen themselves.
So Pelosi was the king, the queen of insider trading.
Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. She's made hundreds
of millions of dollars in Congress. She was asked about it.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
Your career.
Speaker 10 (35:58):
Has her husband m maybe purchase of SALB some information
you received from you.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
No, No, you're up seventeen thousand percent. Did you use
your insider note? No, no, no, just sheare brilliance on
her part, but it's done all the time, not on
a smaller scale. You got this new Jersey governor elect,
Mikey Cheryl, who's brand new, just started. But in her
brief little time in Congress, she somehow made seven million
(36:28):
trading stock, just like that, seven million, And our friend
down the hall there, Charlemagne, asked her, but did you
make seven million trading stocks?
Speaker 17 (36:38):
There is no individual stock trading. It's not as if
I go sit on the House Arm Service Committee and
suddenly I'm trading Boeing or something. There's none of that.
I'm totally out of individual stocks. And I, like I said,
I think every member of Congress shall be, well.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
Did you make seven million in stock trees at all? Well?
Speaker 7 (36:55):
I haven't.
Speaker 17 (36:58):
I don't believe I did, but i'd have to go
see what that was alluding to it.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Now you know how much money you got to have
to not notice if you've made seven million to not
notice seven million showing up in your bank account or
your stock account. If you didn't notice seven million, you
got to be worth hundreds of millions not to notice
seven million. I mean, if you're Elon Musk and an
extra seven million showed up in your stock portfolio, you
(37:27):
might not note. Who's going to notice you got five
hundred billion. Who's going to know a seven million? But
she didn't notice the seven million anyway? Hey, yea. The
good news is there's some indictments coming. The Grand Jury
approved subpoenas for John Brennan, the dirty former CIA director.
But it looks like they're going after Strack and Page,
(37:47):
all the people that did that disgusting Russia witch hunt hoax.
One by one. They'll be going after all of them.
So that's that's good news. Expect that pretty soon. So
the race for governor, you got to Hokel in trouble. Obviously,
people can't stand Hokel and she's embracing Mamdannie. You know,
(38:08):
they had that big Democrat conference in Puerto Rico. They
called the somos whatever that stands for, but it's basically
they say it's to relax in a conference. It's a
conference when they're all to talk to each other. But
as Curtis would say, it's whining, dining, and pocket lining
kind of a deal. And they had to do a
(38:30):
couple of joint appearances and Hokel was all over Mam Donnie,
introducing them, praising them, holding hands with him. So you'll
see Stefanic at least Stephonic running against Nancy Hochel. Kathy
Hochel for governor. This could be an interesting race.
Speaker 18 (38:47):
This is a toxic governor who has a record of
delivering the highest taxes in the nation, of hurting hard
working New Yorkers, of turning her back on law enforcement
officers and small businesses. New York is in catastrophe because
Caathy Hocheal's leadership nasophonic.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
She's Ferosias going after Hokel, and she's going to time
the Mom Donnie.
Speaker 18 (39:06):
This was not a mandate, even though mom Dommi is
claiming such. He barely got over fifty percent, So that
is really a historically low performance for someone who won
the Democrat primary. That means nearly half of New York
City voters, which is traditionally a Democrat city, voted against
mom Dommi because they know he is so radical he's
out of touch with hard working families, with small businesses
(39:27):
who are already crushed by the highest taxes in the nation.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, she's right, Mom Donnie. He did get a majority
fifty point four percent, but remember he was up against
the biggest loser in the world, Andrew Cuomo. Curtis is
a good candidate, but remember everybody on Earth, every major figure,
was telling you not to vote for Curtis, so nobody
could have I mean, there's nobody in the history of
(39:52):
an election they ever had to shoot greased for them
more than Cuomo. I mean, the runway was cleared for him,
and he still couldn't pull it off. That's how Mam
Donnie won. Stephanic will be a big, big, tough challenger
to Hochel.
Speaker 18 (40:06):
She's an accidental governor. She's only in this position because
she was Cuomo's lieutenant governor and when New Yorkers were
looking for strong leadership from a governor. Not to bend
the knee to Zorn Mamdami, Kathy hoche Benthany.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
Why did she do that?
Speaker 18 (40:20):
Because she is hemorrhaging support even in her own party
among Democrats.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, now she's going to have a lot of people
going after But who's going to go after her? Aoc Well,
a lot of people don't take her seriously. Schumer is
an old, dried up fossil Hakeem Jefferies. He talks like
a robot. He talks. He's such a robotic guy. He's
already going after Stephanic.
Speaker 19 (40:40):
You know, at least Stephonic is nothing more than a
handmaiden for Donald Trump's extreme policy. She's a sickophant who
has been a repeated rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Yes, he's one of those guys on the conference call.
He repeats whatever he's told to. If the President didn't
spend all his time on a golf court. And you know,
she's supposed to use the word extreme. President Trump's extreme agenda,
with his extreme policies is extreme. Maga extreme magit? What
is so extreme? What extreme policies? What's the most extreme thing?
(41:13):
What ice simply enforcing the law? Following the law? That's extreme?
Since when there'll be ads against Hochel.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Now elis Stephonic is running for governor of New York
to do what.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
He's This is a this is a hocal ad, This
is Hokal's actually used against Tephanic.
Speaker 7 (41:30):
Now elist Stephonic is running for governor of New York
to do what she's always done, put Trump first.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
She is phenomenal, she is a friend of.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Mine, phenomenal at putting Trump ahead of you.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Oh my god, she knows Trump. That's going to be
their whole campaign. So here's the problem for Republicans. You're
going to have possibly a big primary because Bruce Blakeman,
the brilliant county executive, best county executive in America Nassau County.
I hear he wants to run. So if he runs
against Stefanic, that is one tough choice. Stephonic. Everybody loves
(42:05):
she's a pit bull, she's great, but it's Blakeman who's
the actual executive who has actual management experience running a county,
which is like being the governor of Nassau County. So
he's the guy with more experience. He's the best county executive.
He'd be a great governor. That's a tough choice. That's
a very very tough primary. Now a Stephanic would probably
(42:26):
do better upstate because she's got that kind of an
upstate kind of a sound, and she talks kind of fashions.
She's very upstate. Bruce Blakeman is more of a sophisticated
city slicker type of guy. But half the votes for
governor are right here in New York City. You got
to do really well in New York City. I would
imagine Blakeman does much better in New York City than Stefanic.
(42:48):
He'd have to go upstate and campaign, but got a
hell of a hell of a resume. But this is
a really tough one for Republicans, a really tough primary
coming up next year. Hey, rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
you know, it gets tough. They've cleaned it up. It's
a much better rock and Roll Hall of Fame now
than it was a few years ago. But it's tough
(43:10):
with you. Like in the year, you know, the first
year rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Elvis Beatles, you know,
you put everybody in, but when you get the year
forty five, you know you're starting to run out of people.
So it was it was a bad company. I mean
they were okay, bad company, but rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. But then you got to perform the hits
(43:31):
of bad company. It's okay, I mean, they're not the
Beatles the Bad Company. They're not the Rolling Stones. You
know you're thirty seven, you run out of pa Hey,
we love Cyndi Lauper. Who could not like Cyndi Lauper
She got in.
Speaker 20 (43:43):
I know that I stand on the shoulders of the
women in the industry that came before me, and my
shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come
after me stand online.
Speaker 13 (43:56):
And and the other.
Speaker 20 (44:00):
Thing that I thought was really important, which is why
I really came here tonight, is to tell you that
the little kid in me still believes that rock and
roll can save the world. So I just want to say,
now of all times, let's come together again and do
(44:23):
good in the world because he needs us.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yeah, we'll get right on that, but we love her.
Then they got a lot of great performances on the
show Toll Be, you know, tightened up, edited down Be,
a great TV special. Elton John performed, Elton John did
the Beach Boys hit. Elton John still sounds good. He
lost a lot of rains in his voice, but still
sounds good. David Letterman there, Santa Claus himself. Warren Zevon
(44:50):
gave Letteriman his guitar. I guess he knew he was
didn't have much longer to go and told let Himan
to take care of it. He brought it to the ceremony.
Was you he's done one of the Sun's. Well, here's
let him in on that show. And then the thing
about enjoy every sandwich.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
You know that that's easy, but it's deeply meaningful.
Speaker 12 (45:09):
And there's not a person in this room who hasn't
considered that.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
But nobody can hang on to that on a daily basis.
But by God, isn't that true of life around the planet. Yeah,
I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds good.
But the beard, the beard, I don't know. He said
he has that beard because he doesn't want you to
ever confuse him with the old David Letterman. He's like
a new, different guy. All right, Hey, mom, Donnie is
(45:34):
putting together his team. The five or six names we've
seen already are all ex de Blasio administration. One is
from the Adams administration. So it's gonna be bad. But again,
if it's all these Deblasio people picking to Blasio administration people,
we got through eight years at the Blasio. We'll get
through this. Now here's the interesting part. Brad Lander, who's
(45:55):
a really awful, awful guy. You saw him in the primaries,
really kooky, left wing, disgusting. He's Jewish, but he embraced
every anti Semitic, stupid, anti Israel thing in the world.
So people really just came to really dislike brad Lander.
But he was a big help to Mom Donnie in
the primary. But they've made it clear no brad Lander
(46:18):
in the administration. He's out. They have kicked him to
the curb. So there's one good thing Mom Donnie has done.
Why would he do that? Is he just so? Does
he not have any gratitude? Is he not loyal? Well?
People said that behind the scenes brad Lander, who's an
obnoxious guy, really obnoxious guy, they say, behind the scenes,
(46:40):
he was running around telling everybody he'll be running city hall.
He'll be running things in a Mam Donnie as well.
It got back to Mam Donnie, brad Lander is out.
So that's good. Hey, we'll 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 1 (47:00):
Always a step ahead of the news. Here's more marks
amone on seven to ten wo r Oh.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
My god, what's going on? I just heard Andy Williams
and jose Feliciano and Christophy is a kid. The tree
is up in Rockefeller Center, no lights on it yet.
They got a decorative but they actually put it up Saturday.
Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing, Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
Speaker 21 (47:26):
I think it's pretty obvious that the governor's race it's
going to be Hulcal slamming Trump and Stephonic trying to
slam Mandani. By the way, she should pronounce his name right,
because as trivial as it as it sounds, they'll hammer
her for it.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
But I think, right yeah, wa Al Sharpton would say
to go Mam Dammy.
Speaker 21 (47:46):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 8 (47:48):
That's okay with me.
Speaker 11 (47:49):
But right now Trump's name is more toxic than Mom Danny's,
and it's unfortunate, and I think Stephonic will run away
from Trump. And Hulks mentioned Trump's name in every sets
of every speech she makes, and I think it's really
a problem for Stephanic.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
I don't know, a year from now, you're going to
be better being linked to Trump than to Mom Donnie and.
Speaker 21 (48:11):
From your mouth to God's ears, I hope.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
So all right, thanks for Collin. Yeah, yes, you will
be linked to Bray. Bruce Blakeman and Trump been very
good friends, very close. Trump's a big Bruce Blakeman supporter,
so they'll have the same problem too. Let's go to
uh Nat in New Hyde Park, Nat. How you doing good?
Speaker 22 (48:30):
Good?
Speaker 14 (48:30):
A great show, Mark as usual, I learned more from
you than everybody else.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Really, send you a bill for tuition. We're gonna be
like Harvard. We're gonna charge at ninety five thousand this semester.
Speaker 14 (48:43):
Go ahead, Okay, Anyway, I think Stephanic should go up
to Schumer's seat. I think she could easily beat AOC
and I think she would make a great senator. And
I think Blakeman would be a much better governor.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yeah, you know what, that's a very very very good point.
That's an excellent point. With Schumer running, you know, nobody
could ever run against him. Had The problem is when
he was in the race, the big Republican donors all
wanted him because he that's Schumer's main business donor favors.
He takes care of the donors, so the Republicans everybody
got behind Schumer with him out of the race, AOC
(49:21):
is not big on those donor favors. For the first time,
a Republican would have a shot. It's a statewide race,
so Republican would have a shot. Stephani would be great
at senator. You're right, that's a good, good idea. Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
Speaker 22 (49:34):
Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Mara.
Speaker 11 (49:38):
Mark.
Speaker 22 (49:39):
Did you see that photo op that Mandami took with
his transition team the day after the election? Yeah, those women,
it looked like it was the escape from the dog pound.
Should hand out leashes pound mob. Everybody talking about Trump
(50:00):
playing golf, well, at least he's playing golf on golf
courses that he built with his own money and his
own construction company, whereas Obama was playing basketball at the
White House on a two hundred and fifty million dollar
basketball court that we, the sucker citizens paid for. So
(50:21):
these people better get their fact straight. Trump is playing
on two hours a week, which is actually good physical
exercise for a man like him, and we're getting sucking
for the bill of Obama's basketball court. Marking the business
pages of the New York post yesterday, Charlie Gasparino had
(50:44):
a good article about Zoramondami style alleged takeover everything. Thank God,
in nineteen seventy five, you carry and feelings, Roatan, they
played put in this law called the Financial Emergency Act
of nineteen seventy five. Most of the TATS revenue, since
(51:07):
New York is already on the water, any new tax revenue,
the bond holders got first DIBs on it, not Mandanmi.
He doesn't realize. He doesn't realize that a lot of
the things he's claiming he's gonna.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Do and Alred he knows he can't do. But you're right, Vincent,
great call is always great point. Yeah, check out that article,
Charlie Gasprino points. I remember New York almost went bankrupt
and the bond holders that arrescue Will Carrie and those
guys put in some real protections against the mom. Donnie.
You might not have realized at the time how important
it was, but it's going to come into play now
(51:40):
to prevent Mamdani from doing anything too crazy. Hey, when
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us. The
great columnists coming up next on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Now back to the Mark Zimon Show on wor Well.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
Miranda Divine, the biggest and best columnist around. You can
read a column in the New York Posts. Make sure
you listen to her excellent podcast. It's called pod Force one,
Great guests every week. Podforce one is available wherever you
get podcasts. And get her latest book, The Big Guys.
Whether she's written some great bestsellers. Miranda Devine, How you doing, Hey?
Speaker 9 (52:18):
Thanks so much, Mike, I'm great.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Hey. I love this column about Michelle Obama. What is
she doing? She's been on this whining tour complaining about
how bad America was to her. What is that? What
got into her?
Speaker 9 (52:32):
Well, my personal theory is that her complaints are just
so absurd. You know, she says it was such a
burden to have hair and makeup and fashion stylists when
she was at the White House, and you know how
tough life was. I just think that she's trying to
portray herself as a victim because now that the Commings
(52:54):
are in charge of her husband's party, she has to
kind of stopped them asking why she has so many
mansions and try and make them feel sorry for her.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
Ah, that's a good point, but her complaining somebody who
has a multiple twenty five million dollar mansions and flying
around in private jets all over the place. But it's
tough for people like her and Bill Clinton and to
go back to obscurity, isn't it. They just can't get
(53:27):
off the stage.
Speaker 9 (53:29):
So hard for them, you know, my heart leads. We've
got Nancy Pelosi's the other one. She's decided, at the
grand old age of eighty five, that she might decide
to retire in a couple of years. And I think
that she's doing it just in the nick of time
before Zoram you know, tax the rich Mam Danny and
(53:51):
his crew take over the party and start asking questions
about her little one hundred and forty million dollar hall
that she's dragging away from her stock tips, very very prescient,
her little little, you know, stock market portfolio.
Speaker 2 (54:12):
That's a very interesting theory that all of these dirty
politicians are going into hiding before the Communists take over.
But Mamdani so far, the people he's chosen Transition team others,
they're all extra Blasio people. So we got through Deblasio
for eight years, We'll get through this, won't we.
Speaker 9 (54:33):
Look, the problem is I think Deblasio was always high
and late to work and I'm off going to his
gym in Brooklyn, and you know, he just didn't do
a lot, and so he still created Mayhem and the
city just went downhill. So palpably on his watch. But
(54:56):
Mamdani is more of an ideologue. You know, He's more
determined and he has more energy. He really wants to
shake up the place. And that's what I worry about.
And the other thing is that with Deblasia, we're coming
off a pretty good level. You know, it was the
Rudy Giuliani Bloomberg City, and so there was a long
(55:19):
way to fall. But we don't have a long way
to fall anymore before we're just off the planet. The
city is already difficult to live in. Eric Adams has
sort of arrested the decline a little bit, but once
he's gone, you know, we're going to have violence interrupters,
(55:39):
social workers in law of police and already we have
governors from red states like Ronda Santis in Florida putting
out feelers for our NYPD officers. They're going to give
them bonuses if they move, and I think it's very
difficult for them not to sort of accept the good
(56:01):
ones anyway, not to accept those bribes to leave New York.
Speaker 22 (56:07):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Miranda Devine does an excellent podcast, one of the best
podcasts out there. It's called Podforce one. The latest one
is Eric Trump Boy. That was interesting. Tell us about
your impressions of Eric Trump.
Speaker 9 (56:20):
He is just a really delightful person. And I guess
the big takeout I get from all of the Trump
five children is just how well adjusted and kind of
decent they are. Eric Trump is really, as his father
calls him, a good boy, and he described his childhood.
(56:41):
His mother, Ivana Trump, was really tough. She was, you know,
check from basically behind the iron curtain. She was a
champion skier, and so she really ruled their family with
and discipline. And what Eric said was if it got
(57:05):
past my mum to my father, you knew were really
in trouble, But it really didn't because she just made
sure that all those energetic kids with type A personalities
that Eric describes them were held in line. And their
father also during the holidays, got them to go and
(57:26):
work on his various construction sites for minimum wage. And
Eric said he absolutely loved it, like he loved working
with his hands, like they were absolutely exhausted by the end.
Speaker 11 (57:37):
Of the day.
Speaker 9 (57:38):
And his father also said no drinking, no smoking, no drugs,
and that was the one ironclad rule for the family.
And Eric said, look, by the end of the workday,
we were so exhausted, and we also knew how hard
it had been to earn that twenty bucks that we
(57:59):
you know, I just didn't want to spend it on
a slab of beer. And he also said that, you know,
he went to all the best schools, colleges, etc. And
he said most of his peers ended up in rehab
or some sort of problem because they had too much
time and too much money.
Speaker 2 (58:19):
Yeah, it's a fascinating podcast. Go listen to its pod,
Force one. Miranda Devine's podcast latest episode is Eric Trump.
So you wrote the definitive book on Hunter Biden. So
are you saying Eric Trump was a little better raised
than Hunter was.
Speaker 12 (58:35):
Yes, yes, far better.
Speaker 9 (58:37):
And look, I don't blame Hunter, honestly, his father is
just the most treacherous and dishonest politician I think I
have ever encountered, and deeply selfish. And so when you
know that great tragedy happened in Hunter's life where his
mother who was killed in a car crash, and his
(59:00):
little sister died as well, and he and his brother
were in the back seat quite badly injured. His father
had just been elected to the Senate in a fluke,
and he could have forgone that great opportunity to stay
at home and look after his kids, but he didn't.
(59:22):
And I think all of Hunter's problems stemmed from that.
He was brought up. You know, his aunt was very decent,
his uncle, extended family brought him up, and Joe would
come home, he claimed every night on the Amtrak of
I hear other stories that when he did come home,
it was too late to do anything other than, you know,
(59:44):
looking on them when they slept. But anyway, I just
don't think he was a very good father. And you know,
poor poor Hunter, this motherless kid. And then his stepmother,
Joe Biden, when she came on the scene, and a
few years later when she was already on the scene,
(01:00:05):
but when she married Joe moved in, Hunter just felt
she didn't like him, and so that was another burden
to put up with. So and then his father, you know,
instead of letting him be an author or an artist,
which is what he wanted, his father made him be
the bag man for the family and go into business,
and he didn't really want to do that, so you
(01:00:27):
can hardly you can sort of understand why he fell
into drugs.
Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Yes, that's pretty interesting, and you have a good heart
and a good amount of sympathy for him. You should
get her book, Laptop from Hell and The Big Guy,
the two best books on the on the Biden family.
So hey, we only got a minute left. Tell me
you brought this up last time. This was so fascinating.
(01:00:54):
I got so much reaction to this. The reason for
the Trump arrangements in him, the reason they hate him
so much, it's what was it? You said? It was
the masculinity, that he's like a daddy. Why do they
hate him so much?
Speaker 9 (01:01:07):
Yeah, I mean it really is deranged. It really seems
to be a psychological problem, and women are particularly afflicted,
and it just seems like they have daddy problems. You know,
he is unabashedly a throwback masculine, you know, something that
the Left has been trying to stamp out for the
(01:01:29):
last twenty years, calling it toxic masculinity, making little boys
be ashamed of their intrinsic natures, which you know, those
intrinsic natures are what have allowed civilization to survive, human flourishing.
And you know, you stamp out strong men, what do
you get? You get a lot of toxic females. And
(01:01:51):
I think that's what trump arrangements and drum me. I mean,
I write about Jennifer Welsh, who's this atheist podcaster I
had never heard of until just recently. She's been elevated
as the kind of Democrats answer to Joe Rogan. And
she is the most toxic person I have ever seen.
Speaker 11 (01:02:10):
In my life.
Speaker 9 (01:02:11):
Really, just so such a self hating white woman. She
was there at Mamdani's victory party and she's just going
on about She's talking to two non white people who lefties,
and she's just talking about how, oh, if there were
white people here at this party, the music would be terrible,
(01:02:33):
and Americans have no culture and we need to teach
the crusty old white people about culture. We have to
teach them. She's just scary, scary woman.
Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Wow. Well, Miranda Devine brilliant as always. Get her podcast.
