FULL SHOW: Taylor Ham in NJ; Taylor Swift on Jimmy Fallon.

Mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo has been making appearances on various TV and radio shows to highlight his qualifications. He's arguing that he would be a better choice than his opponent, Zohran Mamdani, as New York's next mayor. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Mayor Eric Adams may be running up a huge tab during his time in Albania before his term is up as mayor. Andrew Cuomo is not well-liked outside of his family, due to his actions as governor, which are hurting his mayoral campaign. New audio reveals that Chicago's police department was ordered not to help ICE officers under attack at facilities. Mark reacts to the audio. Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411. Taylor Swift is a marketing genius and is expected to sell many more "The Life of a Showgirl" albums this week. Singer Bad Bunny will do well, according to Roger, at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is seven to ten, R Boy, The Mark Simoon
Show starts. Now. Hey, well, lost to get to Yankees
tonight eight o'clock. We'll get to the Mayo Race. A
lot of movement there. We'll get to Jimmy Kimmel, a
lot of movement down. We'll get to Crazy Jack Smith,

(00:24):
that bug eyed weirdo. We'll get to the Nobel Prize.
We'll get to the shutdown. Remember the shutdown. It's still on.
Actually I just mentioned that because nobody will notice. We'll
get to Taylor Swift and a whole lot more coming up.
And today's terrible day. It's October seventh. It's the anniversary
two year anniversary of the nine to eleven of Israel,

(00:46):
October seventh. So we're hoping later this week some kind
of deal has reached, some sort of hostage deal, got
some hostages released. One is going to be visiting the
White House President Trump, welcoming him. The other has written
a book about how frightening the captivity was, the torture,
the brutality, the cruelty of Hamas and all of that. Hey,

(01:11):
we'll also get to Chicago. The audio is come out.
This fat slob.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
JB.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Pritzker and the awful nutty crazy Chicago mayor deliberately held back.
The police will play you the audio on a little while,
and Hey, Curtis sliwa great ad. He's finally come out
with a real tough anti Cuomo ad. It goes after
him for the nursing homes. He's got another one that
goes after him for creating the crime wave with his

(01:39):
no bail, no jail. Curtis has been running that ad
all over the place. Cuomo doing a lot more appearances.
All of a sudden, he was hiding from a lot
of people. He still does only very friendly interviewers New
York one where they just slobber and drool all over him.
The New York one is extremely slanted to the left.
He was on Good Day New York this morning. That's

(02:01):
pretty neutral. But yeah, they're both good friends with Cuomo,
so they went kind of easy on him. Cuomo also
pointing out that, and he actually said, I don't need
Curtis to get out of the race. And one thing
I think he may be realizing is if Curtis gets
out of the race, most of his voters will not

(02:21):
go to Cuomo. If Curtis were to drop out, he's
not dropping out, but if he did, most of his
voters would not go to Cuomo. They'd probably just stay home.
They're not Cuomo fans. The same thing with Eric Ademy
and Eric Adams. You got a better shot again some
of Adams votes. But when Adams dropped out of the race,
we haven't got the exact polling yet, but you'll see
half went to Mondani and half went to Cuomo. So

(02:42):
Adams out of the race made really very little difference.
Here's Cuomo yesterday.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
There's a civil war within the Democratic Party going on,
and the Democratic Party is looking for its identity, and
there are two factions. You have the Democratic Socialists and
then you have the Democrats. Right, I'm a Democrat. My
father was a Democratic, worked for Bill Clinton. He is
a Democratic Socialist. He is not a Democrat.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Right.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
He called President Obama evil and a liar. He did
not support Kamala Harris against Trump.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Well, givehim credit for that one, but you get to
remember there was a civil war going on when Cuomo
was governor, and he pandered to the far left. He
could have every far left wacko policy could come up with.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
The other problem Cuomo has he's busy putting on this
act that he's some sort of mainstream Democrat. If in
the primary he had pointed out he's done more left
wing things than Mam Donnie, he probably would have beaten
him in the primary. He is probably I don't know
if he's as far left as Mom Donnie, but he's
one inch from Mom Donni on far left policies, no bail,

(03:48):
no jail, defund the police, closed the prisons. That could
go on and on. But if he had played that
up in the primary, maybe he would have taken the
Mom Donnie voters away from him. They believed government chie
a socialist. See believe government should control the means of production.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
This should be no private ownership of property.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Isn't that communism when the government owns everything.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, that's why President Trump calls him a communist.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
That voice, that's joy behar. You see, he was doing
hard hitting interviews. The view, the view that's he's sticking
to the very very very very easy stuff. Give Trump credit,
he'll go He'll pick the worst enemy. He's got the
most brutal interviewer that hates him the most. Caitlin Collins,

(04:33):
Kirsten Kristen Welker, whatever name, He'll go on those. But
Cuomo sticks to the very gentle, soft, easy interviews.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
And the Democratic Socialists want to defund the police. They
want to do away with misdemeanors. They would legalize prostitution,
legalize the drug trade, which I think would be anarchy
for the city.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
To This is the problem. He's pretending he's some sort
of mainstream Democrat. In the primary, he could have said
to Mamdani, I'm the only one that acts. He did
defund the police. I'm the one that took away their overtime.
I'm the one that took away their qualified immunity. I'm
the one that went out. He actually did more damage
to the police than any Democrat ever. But he's hiding

(05:13):
that and pretending to be some sort of mainstream guy.
Mom Donnie, he was hedging a little in an interview
or two. You know, all those things. He proposes, free busses,
He doesn't have any authority to make the buses for
he has no control of the buses. That's the MTA.
And he doesn't tax and he can't tax the rich.
There's no policy to tax anybody. But he kind of

(05:34):
mentioned that in one interview He basically said, you know,
I may not be able to get that tax through
because that's the legislature. Hey, Cuomo also having to point out,
you know, remember also besides the fact that he was
a terrible governor, did the worst things imaginable as governor,
he had to leave in total scandal, sex scandal, harassment

(05:54):
of groping, and he had to leave. He had a
flea office, fled Albany. And he points out yesterday that
he's got to be so careful now.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I won't kiss a person on the cheek unless they
initiate a kiss.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
So, uh, they.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Told me a lesson just to be super cautious because
there is a sensitivity that has evolved that is real.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
That when he talks slow, that means he's lying. He said,
they told me I can't Who is they? It's not
a great interview? Said, who the hell is they? What
do you mean they told you you can't kiss me?
Who's they? Who runs your life? Tell us who this is? Hey,
there's a little controversy in the New Jersey. Mikey Cheryl

(06:46):
is the Democratic nominee again, another left wing kook running
against Jack Chittarelli. So uh, Chitderelli thinks he's got a
big issue to get her with at Chittarelli running these
ads where he says, who the hell would eat a
pork roll? Now, for those of you that are not
in New Jersey, I have to explain this. In New

(07:06):
Jersey culture, it's a big, big deal. The biggest breakfast
thing in New Jersey is a pork roll. I know
many of you are looking at me like I'm nuts.
This is what they do in New Jersey. It's called
it's actually what it is, it's a ham. It's called
Taylor ham because it's a pre cooked, hickory smoked, cured

(07:27):
pork roll. It's made in New Jersey. It's made by
a company called Taylor Provisions. So that's why most people
call it tailor ham. Some call it a pork roll.
But in New Jersey this is what they eat for breakfast.
Why can't you people act like a New Yorker bacon,
egg and cheese. It's the perfect breakfast, a bagel or bacon,

(07:49):
egg and cheese. They have this pork roll. They think
it's great. Don't tell them it's not. But anyway, so
she said, oh the hell I eat a pork roll
or something like that. So Chitterrelly's running these commercials. It's
the most anti New Jersey. Why she would need a
pork Well, he's kind of conning the audience. That's not
what she said. She didn't say who would eat one?

(08:12):
Or I would never eat She didn't sing anything like that.
Chitterelly actually been quite deceptive. There's a controversy in New Jersey.
Do you call it Taylor Ham or do you call
it a pork roll? What she was arguing was I
would call it Taylor Ham? Who would call it a
pork roll? Here's the actual clip of what she said, Jillhammer,
pork roll? What do you call it?

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Come on, you're from Wayne. I call it tailor Taylor Ham?

Speaker 6 (08:33):
Who eats porkroll?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
On me?

Speaker 6 (08:35):
I think that's gross.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
You know what it is.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
I've had this fight multiple times.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Nobody wants pork roll.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, she's arguing over the name. Chitterrelly, deceiving the public.
He cut out the par Who the hell would eat
a pork roll? That's gross. That's not what she said.
He took it totally out of context. Uh, let's move
on because people outside of New Jersey are looking at
me going, what the hell are you talking about, Taylor
Ham pork roll. What's the other thing they eat there? Oh,
Jersey tomatoes. They brag it, but go to and have

(09:03):
one of these Jersey tomatoes. It tastes like a tomato.
It's like the same tomato. You can get in with it.
I hate to break it, dear people. It's really not
that much different. Now. Now let's get to Jimmy Kimmel. Now,
the talk for the last couple of weeks is everything
President Trump did to Jimmy Kimmel totally backfired. Kimmel had very,

(09:24):
very low ratings. He had about, if he was lucky,
a million viewers. Guttfeldt has three, three and a half million.
President Trump goes after him, causes a big controversy. It's
all we're talking about for a few days. So finally
Kimmel gets back on the air. Instead of his one million,
he comes on the air and gets six point five million,

(09:45):
monstrous ratings for him, and they all yelled for a week.
I'm backfired on Trump. Look at Trump should he's probably
kicking himself for he's made Jimmy Kimmel bigger than ever. Well,
it's about two weeks now, Jimmy Kimmel's ratings have dropped
about eighty eight percent, plunged right back to they were.

(10:06):
He's back to his one million. He lost all the
viewers he picked up. There was a big spike, a
big surge. All of a sudden, people started to watch
him when they heard about this, they started watching him,
and apparently they didn't like it, because they've all stopped
watching him and he's back to his old ratings, right
back to where he started from. Hey, this is crazy
Jack Smith, if that's really his name, This bug eyed

(10:29):
prosecutor Jack Smith, the weirdo with the cape. Any guy
that owns a cape should be in a mental institution.
I mean, outside of Halloween, you should not be wearing
a cape anyway. This Jack Smith, it turns out, was
spying on members of Congress. This is the guy with
the classified document's case at mar A Lago. This is

(10:50):
the guy that raided mar A Lago with guns drawn.
He got authorization to use deadly force in the President's house.
This is this crazy Jack Smith. He's the guy that
had his agents go through Baron's room, all the closets.
They went through Malania's underwear draw just like Pauli Walnuts
did in the Sopranos. This is a sick guy, this

(11:12):
is Jack Smith. And it turns out there were no
classified documents. There were member of the pictures of the boxes,
hundreds and hundreds of boxes, rooms filled with boxes, a
stage filled with boxes. Turn out none of them had
any classified documents in them. All they did find was
thirty five classified documents. And if you put them in
a folder, it's about one inch thick, So that's one

(11:34):
inch one box. That's it. And they should release those
classified documents because you'll find most of them have nothing
in them of any importance. Most classified documents are things
that didn't even need to be classified. Most of them
are stuff that was over classified. Sometimes it's a weather
report for a battlefield, stuff like that. So Jack Smith
a complete fraud. Now FBI Director Deputy Director Bongino releasing

(11:59):
all this information. Jack Smith, at the same time was
spying on Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, members of Congress, Ron Johnson,
Marshall Blackburn, and many many others. He was tracking their
private communications, their phone calls, monitoring them, checking their phone records,
and nobody can figure out why. They found out it

(12:20):
was part of what they call CAST assistance CAST is
that's what they call the FBI's Cellular Analysis Survey Team.
In other words, wire tapping. You remember Watergate, That was
when they tapped one guy's phone, the Democratic Party chairman
Lawrence O'Brien. They tapped one guy's phone. That was Watergate.
Here's Jack Smith taking complete control of the phone records

(12:44):
of everybody, a long list of major congress people. This
is Watergate times one thousand. We'll see what happens to
Jack Smith. So they're starting to release all of this
stuff Smith. That phony case, that Jack Smith case costs
the taxpayers more than fifty million dollars. This is going

(13:05):
to be bad for Jacksmith. This is going to turn
out to be very ugly and he's going to have
a problem. News organizations yesterday were unable to reach Smith
for comment. He refused to comment. Here's a guy that
all the press conference every couple minutes and now refuses
to comment. More and more stuff is going to start
to come out. For instance, they just released intelligence released this.

(13:29):
During the Biden Obama administration, the CIA and intelligence organizations
discovered what the Biden family was doing in Ukraine. This
money laundering scheme, this influence peddling scheme, all the crap
that was going on in Ukraine. What was the company
Barisma where Hunter was getting mill tens of millions, the
brothers were getting millions, making a fortune in Ukraine. So

(13:52):
the intelligence community looked at this and said, this is
a real problem. It's major, major influence pedling. It's basically ibery,
it's conflict of interest, and they put together an intelligence
report CIA. This is during the Obama Biden administration, and
apparently Vice President Biden, the documents are coming out now
suppressed it. He told them not to release this, to

(14:15):
cover this up, not to distribute this. Within the Intelligence committee,
it was hushed up. It was covered up by then
Vice President Biden. Pretty bad. Hey, they're going to give
out the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. Now. A lot
of the hostages families are pushing the Nobel Peace Prize

(14:37):
committee to give it to President Trump for what he's
done for Israel, also for the seven wars he's ended
this year. I mean, obviously got more qualifications for the
Nobel Peace Prize than probably ninety nine point nine percent
of the winners, but they're pushing it too late. I'm
sure they've already picked the person. And it's the most biased,

(14:57):
slanted award, the Nobel Peace Prize, totally corrupt partisan. They'll
give it out Friday. Watch. I'll predict right now the
winner will be Gavin Newsom. He'll he'll get it on Friday. Hey,
we'll take some calls. Next, eight hundred three to two
one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten. Now back to the Mark

(15:18):
Simone Show on WR Hey, let's take some calls. Eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number
eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go
to David and Long Island. David, how you doing good?

Speaker 8 (15:34):
Mark, David the Uber d I haven't taught you in
a long time, But you remember when they had this
whole thing about the language that you know, you had
to say the correct things. Well, I don't know if
you can get to Lower Manhattan, but at the end
of Broadway, there's this huge building that used to be
the US Customs House. Yeah, now it's the American Museum

(15:57):
of the American Indians. Well like four posters up.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, Well that's okay, what's wrong with that?

Speaker 8 (16:04):
Don't we're supposed to say.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Oh, you're not supposed toy Indian. What are you supposed
to say indigenous?

Speaker 8 (16:11):
I don't know why I don't keep tracked, but I
know that you're not supposed to call them American Indians.

Speaker 9 (16:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Well, I think that's over with. I think that, uh,
that whole thing is over with. You can you can
call him an Indian? This name changing, it's got to stop.
It's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
I agree, but I think it's a riot that they
missed this one.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Hey, you drive an Ubert? Tell us? Uh what now?
What has happened in the back of your uber? People
throwing up, people having sex, people punching each.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Other, yelling about Trump?

Speaker 5 (16:45):
I mean it's.

Speaker 8 (16:49):
Dangerous.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
You mean couples fighting with each other over Trump?

Speaker 5 (16:53):
No fighting with you.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
There was a conflicts three minutes with him. I haven't
said a words yelling me about Trump.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Why would they yell at you? How do they know
you support Trump?

Speaker 8 (17:03):
Why call it books? Brothers shirt, my Ralph Lauren slacks, form,
my pole driver issues. But they've decided that I'm a
republic kid.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah. No, it's very strange. All right, great call David.
Yeah they do that now. The actually, you know, I
don't talk to Why what do you do? He's Republican.
It's it is. It's a civil war taking place right now.
It's absolutely insane. Uh, what happened to?

Speaker 10 (17:31):
You know?

Speaker 1 (17:31):
If Jack Kennedy or John F. Kennedy or Bill Clinton,
they must be looking at all you saying, what the
hell is wrong with you people? What happened to my
Democratic Party? Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel, how
you doing?

Speaker 11 (17:44):
Good morning Mark again, Good morning Vincent, Good morning Mara.
Or I just have a question. I know you're not
an attorney, obviously, but I'm just curious myself for all
of the elect ilegalities that have been brought upon us
by the people in them in the Obama administration, including
b Ack Obama and the Body family. Do you see
at any time anyone being convicted of any of these things?

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Absolutely, absolutely, definitely absolutely Look for Letitia James to get convicted.
Look for call me to have some call me. Most
likely could get convicted. There's gonna be a lot of
stuff going on now. I know there were pardons, but
if they can prove the auto pen was used, it
might void the pardon. But you know, no, it's hey.
You got to remember Trump's only been in office like

(18:28):
twenty minutes. It's only like the first half of the
first year. Give them time. He's got three and a
half more years to go. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, Oh,
good morning, right now, Vincent, I got to ask you something.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
You were talking about how bad things are in Italy.
I heard from like twelve listeners they're planning trips to
Italy in the next couple of weeks. What exactly what's
wrong now?

Speaker 2 (18:50):
The problem is is they're having these flash mobs take
over major train stations. They even invaded the runway of
I believe it was Milan Airport last week, and the
marine terminals for the boats, also for the furry, the
ferries and everything. So they just cout. They have these

(19:13):
spontaneous strikes. So that's the thing you have to watch for.
It's not that they say, well, tomorrow we're going to
go on strike, and the Italian government has an issue
with that because they talk about all the people that
were left in a lurch, and they also said that
the strike cost the Italian economy five point five billion dollars.

(19:37):
Meant say that that's not a lot. Well, the economy,
the whole economy for the country of Italy is just
slightly more than the economy of New York.

Speaker 9 (19:47):
New York.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
The budget is one hundred and thirty five billion, it
leases one hundred and fifty four billion, So in that
respect it is a lot mark. I heard Larry mention
on his news segment that Domi came out with a
new afforded biddle of the calculator for New York. I
have an easy way. Anytime a politician says they're gonna

(20:09):
give somebody something, one of their constituents something for free,
you could bet your bottom dollar another cook constituent, whether
they like it or not, is going to foot the bill.
Yesterday we spoke about the numerous reasons why we should
not elect Zoron Mondani, and I bought him the whole

(20:31):
thing that he's a Muslim socialist democrat. This proves my point.
Look at London and look at Paris. London elected a
Muslim mayor, and London, aside from all the tony tourist
areas around Buckingham Palace or around where the royals live,

(20:52):
outside of that, London is a ghetto.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Europeans Zabela. We got to go for the news, but
great call. Thanks for calling.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
When we come back, Bill O'Reilly will be with us next.
Lots to talk to him about on seven to ten WR.

Speaker 12 (21:10):
The Mark Simone Show continues on sevent ten WR.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well Bill o'reiley the number one TV anchor for decades.
You know, he's also the number one best selling non
fiction author on Earth. His latest book number one on
the New York Times bestseller list, number one bestseller. If
you haven't got it yet, you got to get the
book Confronting Evil. Powerful new book from Bill O'Reilly. You
can watch the show, get the column at billoreilly dot com. Hey,
make sure you check out his YouTube channel. Great stuff

(21:39):
on Bill O'Reilly's YouTube channel, Bill O'Reilly.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
How you doing, Hey, Happy lad?

Speaker 9 (21:45):
Putin birthday today? Oh no, but yeah, Putin's birthday, big
party somewhere, not in Ukraine, but somewhere they're having a
big blash.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
From Yeah, oh boy, that Confronting Evil. That book, the
Putin chapter is so powerful, but he looks like such
a depraved psychopathy.

Speaker 9 (22:09):
Yeah, the worst and the absolute worst. And you know,
we're plagued by these people, which is why I wrote
in front of evil, and they just never stopped. You know,
they get keep getting born, and they just caused so
much trouble. Now I have a question for you. Some
money ready, yep, okay? Why is Mayor Adams going to

(22:33):
Albania on the taxpayer dime? Do you have any idea
why he's going to Albania for four days and we're
paying for it.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well, it's important business for him. It is office in
January and he needs some business, if you know what
I mean.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
Ah, Now he only has what a couple more months,
and so he's running up a huge tab to go
to Albania. I mean, come on, these guys don't even
try to hide the corruption. They don't even try to
hide it in New York anymore. They kind of wave
it around. My god is if you know Alania, if.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
You know you're leaving in two months, you know you
take longer lunches, you steal more office supplies, you do
everything in the last couple of months.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
I don't mind longer lunches or him taking pens, But
to fly to Albania, that's got me a little agitated.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
You get the feeling there's some business there, some sort
of al Sharpton sort of kind of a deal being there. Yeah,
I know something.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
I had never been to Albania, but I was on
the island of Corfu, beautiful Italian island, and you could
see Albania, and but that's a rough place, Albania. You
don't want to just go over there and start hiking.
You're not going to.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Come back, That's true. Hey, the Yankees tonight, eight o'clock,
what's going to happen?

Speaker 9 (24:09):
I'll be there. You know, it's really not a great
time for New York sports fans. We are the Mets
collapsing totally, the Jets are zero and five, the Giants
are one and four, and the Yankees are owing two

(24:32):
versus the Blue Jays. I blame it all.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
On ma'm donnie.

Speaker 9 (24:38):
I'm blaming all these setbacks on the sporting fields on
ma'm donnie. Why not, why not blame it on him?
I mean, that's what we're going to be doing for
the next four Years's wrong, we're blaming man Donni.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Hey. Next week now, next Thursday, the sixteenth, is the
first mayoral debate. It's possible Curtis could shake things up
and maybe change the direction of the race. Isn't it.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
No.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
No, The problem is that that there are so many
uninformed New York City voters. They just vote as they're
told to vote by the machine or the pastors, the
reverends and the churches, and they don't know a lot
of them have given up. They know that it's very
hard to live in this city. It's very expensive, and

(25:31):
why not get man Donnie in to blow the whole
thing up. So you know, Curtis, he'll take Staten Island.
But I don't see him. If he gets twenty percent,
I'll be surprised.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Wow. But you know, Clomo's a terrible debater. He talks
too slow like this. Donnie's a great debater. Curtis is
a great debater. Won't Clomo look very weak compared to
these two? And that'll be the end of him.

Speaker 9 (25:56):
You know, I said this, I believe on a Simon
show last week. I know a lot of people, so
to you, I mean, we're like lifelong New Yorkers. We
know the turf. I don't know one human being, not
one outside of his family, that likes Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, I don't know about the family that might even
be in question.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
Well, I mean I know Chris Cuoma loves his and
I respect that, by the way. Yeah, but I don't
know one human being that likes Andrew Cuomo. And that
is a huge problem for the former governor because he'd
be a much better mayor than man Donnie. There's no
doubt about it. He knows how to run stuff. Not

(26:39):
that he would be, you know, a positive force, but
I don't think it would hurt the city the way
Man Donnie will. But boy, oh boy, he's got a
perception problem. People just don't They don't son like him,
that's it.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, but he really hurt us as governor with his
no bail, no jail closing the prisoner.

Speaker 9 (27:00):
He did because he caves. He did what they all do.
Schumer's done this. They cave to the far left. They're
afraid of them because the far left dominates the Internet.
I wrote a column on Bill O'Reilly dot com on Sunday,
and I hope every WR listener reads it about how

(27:23):
the influencers on the far left are being bribed so
the tune of one hundred thousand dollars a year to
write trash on the Internet to attack anyone who goes
up against the far left orthodoxy. We got names, we
got figures. All that is on Billoreilly dot com. It's

(27:47):
called corrupting the Chorus because the main outfit that's paying
these people on the internet, it's bribes, all right, it's bribes.
They're called a chorus and they operate out of DC
and it's it's an amazing, amazing thing because there's no

(28:09):
standards of behavior on the internet at all. If these
guys want to bribe you to say what they want
you to say, nobody's going to interfere with that. It's shocking.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
If we had legitimate real news media, now this would
have all been exposed, wouldn't it in the old day?

Speaker 9 (28:28):
Sure, I mean I have to do this. I'm an independent,
My news agency is independent. You're never going to hear
this on any of the cables or any of the
network news. Never gonna hear it. And because they're in
business to cater to an audience as well. And now
we got to shake up at CBS with this Barry

(28:49):
Weiss coming in, who's pro Israel and anti woke. Okay,
but boy oh boy, I work for CBS and that's
a tough outfit to crack, because you all the troops
are left wing all of them and they're gonna wipe
them all out.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Maybe, well, it's not very encouraging this kind, but everybody
should get Bill O'Reilly's book, Confronting Evil. This is a
powerful book. You won't believe the Putin chapter. It's an
amazing book. The Confronting Evil number one bestseller. Go get
the book. Go to billo'reilly dot com and read the

(29:25):
column is called the chorus.

Speaker 9 (29:28):
It's corrupting the chorus. That's the column. Important column because
nobody knows anything about this, that these people are taking
big money to write propaganda and there's nobody can do
anything about it. I mean, it's shocking.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (29:49):
And that's why you don't see people like me on
Good Morning America or the Jimmy Kimmel Show or anything
like that, because the far left on the internet will smash,
i mean really vitriolically, go after any host that would
put on anybody who's not a progressive. And that's what's

(30:09):
going on.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Wow, Everybody, go read it. Go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.
You can see the TV show there too. Hey, Mixture,
watch his YouTube channel. Great stuff, Bill O'Reilly, thanks for
being with us.

Speaker 9 (30:19):
Thanks having me Mark appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
All right, take care. Hey, we've got a lot coming
up in the next hour. Curtis picks up a big endorsement.
We'll get to that. We'll get to Chicago and the
awful orders the police were given, and a whole lot
more to get to in the next hour on seven
to ten WR.

Speaker 12 (30:37):
Hey's The Mark Samon Show on seven to TENR.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, yeah, Hey, the Yankee game is tonight eight pm
Yankee Stadium. It doesn't look good, it does. I mean,
they lost the first two games. Okay, there are times
where somebody lost the first two games and come back,
not very often. But the problem is they didn't just
lose the first two games. They really lost the first

(31:05):
two games. It's not like you said, wow, that was close.
It wasn't close. It was And they just can't see.
They can't seem to there's no pitching, they can't seem
to hold the opposition down to less than a double
digit runs. So it's going to be a problem tonight. Hey,
we got a lot to get to in the next hour.
Don't go away. I'll be back right after the news

(31:25):
another hour ago. Mark Simone here on seven to ten WR.
Now more Mark Simone on seven ten. Wr Well, it's
October seventh. It's a two year anniversary of that horrible,
horrible day that was the nine to eleven for Israel.
October seventh is two years later. Hopefully the peace agreement

(31:48):
will happen at some point this week, President Trump saying
thought they were close. He did a great interview last night.
Greg Kelly reports The Great Show on Newsmax every night
nine o'clock. President Trump called in last night a great interview.
You talked about everything from a bad Bunny. You can
if you go to the Newsmax website or the Newsmax app,

(32:10):
you can watch last night's a great interview with President Trump,
followed by me, by the way, I was the next
guest on there. But great interview last night. So hey. Also,
it's October seventh. It's the twenty ninth anniversary of Well
on this day. In nineteen ninety six, October seventh, nineteen

(32:32):
ninety six, it was the debut of something called the
Fox News Channel. Now it was New Revolutionary. It just
kind of came on the air. Bill O'Reilly I think
was there from day one. I think Sean Hannity was
there from day one. But the day before the Fox
News Channel, it was the cable landscape was basically CNN,

(32:56):
was MSNBC there yet, No, I don't think it was.
It was CNN, and CNN had a second channel called
America's Talking that eventually became MSNBC. But before Fox News
started on this day in nineteen ninety six, the biggest
thing on cable, the one thing everybody watched was Larry
King Live. Every night at nine o'clock, it was Larry

(33:18):
King Live from Washington. And there's nothing like it today
because Larry King Live one night might be the House
Majority Leader, or it might be a senator, and the
next night it might be Suzanne Summers. You could do
that back in those days. You could be an entertainment show,

(33:38):
you could be a news show. You could have a
wide variety of people. Well, I guess you could still
do that on a Jimmy Fallon or The View. But
that's the way it was. And world leader, every world
leader would come on Larry King Live and it was
a major show. It was the number one show and
cable until the Fox News Channel came along and just
wiped out everything, CNN and everything, and then Bill O'Reilly

(34:00):
became the biggest show, and then Sean Hannity became the
biggest show, and then everything that fucked. But it's almost
thirty years, twenty nine years, incredible success. It's bigger than ever,
doing better than ever, while all the other cable networks
just fizzle out. Last night, speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Taylor
Swift was the guest. Hey, Roger Friedman will be with

(34:22):
a little later this hour. We'll talk to him about this.
She is unbelievable at merchandising, at marketing, at all of
that stuff. But there she was last night on Fallon.
This was like, well, the big appearance was last week.
It was right here down the hall. She was on
with Elvis Duran. That was the first big interview. But

(34:43):
Taylor Swift last night, Jimmy Fallon, I think.

Speaker 13 (34:45):
For Travis the podcast was just sort of like a distraction,
sort of ruse to keep me not looking out the
windows of the house.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
It was all happening, was the backyard normal when he
got there.

Speaker 13 (34:56):
Like I don't every time he does the podcast. It's
not like he like blacks out all the windows, like
the drap's like fully like just blackout drapes on every
single window. Of the whole house.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, you're like, honey, this is real sacred.

Speaker 13 (35:09):
It's serious about this, and I really appreciate that. But
then after what I kind of realized, like he's he's
walking around sort of nervous about the podcast. He's like,
my heart is racing. I just really want I know
how much this means to you, like really want this
to be what you hoped it would be.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Now, let me explain to the audience. This is supposed
to be a fascinating story. This is what late night
talk has become. It's not like when you watch Johnny
Carson highlights and there's Don Rickles, and there's this and this.
By today's standards of late night, this is supposed to
be a great story, fascinating. He's supposed to be hanging
on the edge of your seat watching this. And you

(35:49):
know they don't do an anniversary show. I remember Carson
used to do an anniversary show every year. We'd play
all the highlights. Fallon doesn't do that because there's no highlights.
But what would you play this there's no highlights. By
the end of the year, he's.

Speaker 13 (35:59):
More he's just my favorite person.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
He's talking about Travis Kelcey.

Speaker 13 (36:03):
He's just my favorite person I've ever met. No offense
to everyone else, but the fact that the fact that
this is the person that I get to hang out
with every day forever is just like that's that's the
whole thing of it. You look at that and you're like,
I got to hang out with him forever, and this
represents that.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Oh oh now, let's be honest, you know, to each
his own. But when you look around the world at
all the people you've seen in the world, do you
say to yourself when you see Travis Kelcey, that's the
guy I want to hang out with. I mean, if
you didn't know who he was, he just looks like
a bouncer at a club or something. This is Do
you look at him and say this, this is who

(36:39):
I want to hang out with. This is who I
want to talk But you gotta give your credit. Hey,
we'll get we'll get to this later in the hour.
The merchandising, the marketing, this woman is a genius at it.
We'll get to all of that coming up. Hey, in Chicago,
you know, Ice is going around the country and they're
arresting ill Eagles. This is what you want them to do.

(37:01):
They're arresting illegals. They're not arresting any immigrants. They're not
arresting migrants. They're arresting illegals that are here illegally, and
they're taking these illegals off the streets, taking them to
court and deporting them. This is the whole idea. Thanks
to Biden and company, millions and millions and millions of

(37:22):
illegals broke into the country and they're being removed one
by one by Ice. He's doing a great job. So
you had these democrats are so angry, so nuts, so violent.
First you had protests around ICE and their headquarters and
the agents, and then you had riots around ICE, and
then you had at tax even had a guy shoot

(37:44):
at ICE agents. And now in Chicago, these ICE agents
there's a few cars. They're going to Chicago, and these
crazy left wing violent democrats got a caravan of cars.
They got like ten cars, and these left wing democrats
were armed automatic weapons, semi automatic weapons. They surrounded the

(38:05):
ICE agents, their cars, surrounded the ICE cars, boxed them
in and trapped them. It was an out and out ambush,
just like you see on Blue Bloods. You know when
Danny Reagan's transporting the prisoner and the drug cartel surround
his car and start firing it. But the same thing. Now,
where were the Chicago police? It turned out the ICE

(38:26):
agents they were in this ambush in the standoff. Eventually
the ICE agents had to pull their guns out and
start shooting defensively. But where were the police. Why didn't
the police move in and protect them? Well, they were
ordered not to by the Mayor of Chicago, and we
think by JB. Pritzker that fat Ralph Cramden, governor. The

(38:47):
police were there, they could have stopped this, They could
have saved the ICE agents, but they were told not to.
We have the actual audio. Now, this is the police
are there. They want to move in and say of
the ICE agents. Here's the actual audio. This is the
dispatcher ordering them not to do it.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
And again per the Chief of Patrol, we have all
the units per nine. Chief of Patrol said, all units
clear out from there. We're not sending anybody over to
that location, right, and nine ninety nine just took him
from a thirty ninth place in Kezzie. They were saying
that they were being surrounded by that large crowd and

(39:27):
they were requesting the police were not sending waving off
all of the cars, having the thirty ninth place in Katzie.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Per chief of police, do not respond, let them get
shot at in that ambush. So the chief of police,
of course did not decide this on his own. The
mayor was behind him, and we assumed the governor that's
that fat slab Ralph Cramton, the governor of Illinois, Pritzker.
Here's what he had to say. We don't have a
lot of facts.

Speaker 12 (39:56):
Remember, these are the same folks who killed a person,
unarmed person, just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park.
At first they said that the officer had been threatened
with his life. The reality of it and the truth
of it has now come out and that wasn't the case.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
They killed somebody.

Speaker 12 (40:16):
They are just putting out their propaganda, and then we've
got to later determine what actually happened.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
We already know what happened. We've got surveillance footage, we've
got witnesses. We absolutely know what happened. The ice cars
were moving through Chicago. A group of violent, crazy left
wing democrats with ten cars surrounded them, boxed them in.
They had automatic weapons. We know this. This surveillance video.

(40:43):
Released the video. If you're going to do that active
we don't have the facts, release the video. Let's see it. Hey,
you might not realize this, there's a government shutdown. I
don't think anybody notices, you know, even if you watch
the crazy left wing stations, like you know, if you
watch MSNBC, the shutdown is like Storrer number twelve. It's
like twenty minutes into the hour they get to it.

(41:04):
And the problem is, you got Schumer, who's a ridiculous figure,
just the most ineffective leader in the world. Even the
John Stewart last night calling him America's flat tire. He's
like just a bad flat tire. Speaking of flat, you
got this jakeem Jefferies, who looks like a robot, who
just looks like a robut looks into the camera. He's
all stiff, and he's the worst spokesman.

Speaker 14 (41:25):
Either Leader Schumer or myself have heard a word from
the administration about resolving this issue, making clear to us
that the White House wanted to shut the government down.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
You got the I hate to say, I hate to
say continuing Resolution CR, clean CR, whatever the hell that is.
You could do the extension I think it's a seven
week extension. Just sign the damn thing. But do you
know what you don't want to sign it, don't sign it.
Nobody notices this government shutdown. Some people say, hey, we
just had a government shutdown for four years. It was

(42:01):
called the Biden administration. Oh, mayoral race, Rudy Giuliani has
endorsed Curtis Sliwa officially endorsement from Rudy Giuliani. Now his name,
some will argue, well, his name's a little tarnished right now.
But you know, whatever you think of Rudy Giuliani, he
is the world expert, the number one expert on earth

(42:22):
on how to run New York City. He's the greatest
mayor in the history of the world. Nobody knows more
about how to be mayor of New York than Rudy Giuliani.
And he has officially endorsed Curtis Sliwa. Now to counter that,
Cuomo keeps telling you, he keeps announcing these union into
the plumbers Union, the electricians union, and who the hell

(42:43):
cares you know. If I wanted to know who's going
to be a good mayor, I would ask Rudy Giuliani.
I wouldn't call my electrician and say, what do you think?
Who should I vote for?

Speaker 6 (42:54):
It?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
If I needed a light switch fixed, I might ask him,
but not who to vote for for mayor. So big endorsement,
and the debate is a week from Thursday. It's next week,
next Thursday, the sixteenth. That's the debate. That's where Curtis
could turn things around. So you know, Amazon has now

(43:16):
bought the rights to all the James Bond movies. They
own all the James von films. They're putting them up
on Amazon so you can watch them, buy them, rent them, whatever.
But Amazon, you know everybody's got to get that Charlie
Gasprino book, Go Woke, Go Broke. You got to read
that book Amazon Going Woke. I'm not kidding you. You know,

(43:36):
every James Bond movie had a great poster, you know,
on the movie theaters or on the cover of the
DVD or whatever. They have the great posters with Bond. Well,
they all had a gun. You remember, he'd posed with
the gun in his hand. Amazon has removed the guns
from the posters, so it's Bond with no gun. The

(43:57):
whole movie is about Bond shooting people, killing people. He
has a license to kill. That's the whole idea of Bond.
But they've removed the gun from the poster. So here's
one where he's like this with the gun with his
hand up here, so that you got to put something there,
so it's just like him holding his fist up. It
just looks weird. It's absolutely insane. If you're that woke,
don't sell Bond films. I mean, that's what he does

(44:22):
in the films. He blows up buildings, he shoots people,
he drives the people off a cliff. It's a license
to kill, which has never been explained. By the way,
who exactly issues that license to kill? Did you know
that England could issue you a license to kill? You
can go anywhere in the world, kill anybody. Anybody says
a word, I got, I got a license to kill. Oh, okay,

(44:44):
go ahead. It's the craziest. The whole Bond thing never
made any sense. It's fascinating that people take it seriously.
It makes no sense. You know, he's supposed to be
a secret agent, top secret agent. Now you notice in
the film wherever he goes anywhere in the world. He
goes to Monte Carlo, he goes to Hong Kong. He
walks into any bar, any hotel, and behind the desk,

(45:05):
the guy says, mister Bond, Oh, mister Bond, welcome. What
kind of secret agency? If every hotel clerk in the
world seems to know this guy, every casino guy knows him. Uh,
it's just a and you remember the way he would
order a drink when he'd order that martineus, I'll have
it shaken, not stirred. You know, nowadays you're lucky if

(45:26):
the waiter even comes back. If you think he's going
to get that right, shaken not stirred, you're a little crazy. Hey, Well,
take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten. Set up pre sat

Speaker 7 (46:09):
I'm good, Mark, How are you good? Let me tell
you this is great news with Rudy's endorsement of Curtis,
and I think it's the start of a new surge.
And I'm hopeful that that Curtis has some really good
debate prep in mind, because I think it's going to
turn the tables on both his foes. I'd like to
see you as part of that debate prep. How can

(46:29):
you get involved with that?

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Oh yeah, I talk to Curis all the time and
he's good donor. He's got great people prepping him. He's
got really good people, the best economic people. And remember
he's a professional debater for thirty five years and allmost
of the world's worst debater.

Speaker 7 (46:44):
So you jus that is true.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
What's that beeping in the backround? What are you doing?
Surgery right now?

Speaker 7 (46:50):
As a matter of fact, they're working on one of
the neighbor's properties nearby, so it's a matter of fact
the golf course. So it's not a little little noisy there.
Oh sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Well, golf course.

Speaker 7 (47:01):
Uh like success, Oh okay, we do it to the
holes and uh, unbelievable job. And this crew is sensational.
They're dealing with the courses out in the Wait.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
What are you talking about? You're a surgeon and you
fixed golf courses.

Speaker 7 (47:15):
No, no, this is my time wolf.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Oh okay, a surgeon who cuts grass very surgically each
All right, thanks, thanks for calling. Let's go to uh
Sam and Staten Island. Sam. How you doing?

Speaker 8 (47:28):
I mock?

Speaker 4 (47:29):
How are you good?

Speaker 10 (47:31):
All right? Good? Listen, Rudy. The Rudy endorsement is huge
and great.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
I hate to break it to you now. It's now
twenty twenty five. It's huge with Republicans, but.

Speaker 10 (47:40):
Not it's the guy had a rough couple of years,
but believe me, he was still the were the best
mayor in the city. Yeah, but I got a question.
Where was these guys like John Kastamatid He's been throughout
this whole thing.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Were you talking about? He's on the air every day.
He's Republicans. Hey, hey, hey, hey, stop yelling. Calm down.
What the hell are you talking about that guy? How
about the guy is on the radio every day.

Speaker 10 (48:07):
Talking okay, energy, endorsing the Curtis all the time.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
I don't think he's endorsing anybody. Remember, he's got a
radio show, he owns a radio station. I think he
you know, he loves Curtis, Curtis is part of his
family there, but uh, I don't think he's endorsing anybody publicly.

Speaker 10 (48:22):
Yeah that's a shame.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Well, no, it's not a shame. I mean, you haven't
heard me endorse anybody. Obviously, I love Curtis, but I
don't officially endorse anybody. Okay, all right now listen, Sam, Yeah,
you gotta get control of yourself. You know, one of
these guys calls up yelling and screaming, and then you
get the facts later. You gotta you gotta know what
you're talking about first before the yelling.

Speaker 10 (48:45):
Oh really, yeah, I'll practice that before I pull again.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Okay, thank you. See some people don't really care. They're
not they're not that they're actually not that interested. If
you have said, here's a four hundred page position paper,
explain the whole thing to you, they're not going to
They don't worry the one. They're just like the yell
and scream and carry on. It's like it's like sports

(49:12):
fans in a bar. They don't want to really study
the game that they just want to go. Now the
Jets are gonna win. Now the Giants are gonna win. Now,
the Jets are gonna win. So where's all the calls?
We don't have any calls. You never heard this happen before,
is it me? There's no calls all of a sudden,
I've never ever seen that happen. Oh hey, by the way,
Chief Shell, great, the NYPD, Chief John Shell. You see

(49:35):
him all over television. You know the face. He was
like the face of the NYPD there for a couple
of years. But retiring. We wish him well and everybody
will miss him. Hey, great news. President Trump on truth
social and it's posted all over Twitter. Really went after
Al Sharpton yesterday, Great news, and he put up a

(49:57):
picture remember the old Al Sharpton with the jogging suit
when he was big fat Al Sharpton with the big
medallions around his neck and the jogging sit. He put
up one of those pictures and pointed out that Sharpton
was a close friend. He loved me. He loved me
for years. He begged me to come to all of
his fake rallies and I did a number of times
just to help him draw a crowd. And he goes

(50:19):
on and you got to go read it. It's really great.
Then he points out at some point Sharpton ran into
Brian Roberts, who owned Comcasts, the big, big, mega corporation
that was buying NBC, and when they were buying NBC
they needed help with the FCC. Sharpton helped. He went
and testified on behalf of Comcast to the great racial

(50:42):
hiring policies and all that kind of stuff, and apparently
was promised a TV show in return. That's why he
has an MSNBC TV show, Trump pointing out it's the
lowest rated show in the history of television. But they're
afraid to fire him and that's why he's still there. Oh,
here we go. Let's go to Bob in Vale, New Jersey. Bob,
how you doing good? How are you marketing? Taking my call?

Speaker 4 (51:05):
Just wondering what vendor say the vendor gave up, like
the rights to have them tap into senators like phone calls,
and under what pretense.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Oh well, if you're a special counsel, special prosecutor, Department
of Justice and you show up at the phone company,
they'll turn over the records you show up. You know
that Jack Smith could go to some left wing kook
DC judge get a warrant. What are you gonna do.
If you're the phone company, you're not going to fight
with the Justice Department. You turn it over.

Speaker 5 (51:35):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (51:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Hey, when we come back, Roger Friedman, The Great Entertainment Reporter,
we got to talk about this Taylor Swift. I mean,
forget the singing, the songwriting, all that great, but this
woman is a hell of a marketer, a hell of
a businesswoman. She's figured out every angle. We'll get to
that next on seven to ten. Wore blogged into Everything
New York.

Are you?

Speaker 5 (52:18):
Have you been talking politics this morning?

Speaker 6 (52:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (52:20):
We never talked politics.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
Well, Mark, who you're voting for? From mayor?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Oh? I love that, mom, Donnie. He's great, don't you
think you know?

Speaker 5 (52:30):
It's just I just have to say before we get
into a conversation about Hollywood, which I want to do
because I saw a great movie last night. Everyone's gonna
love this cannot go on with mom Donnie. And you know,
his mother is a film director and she's a wonderful person.
Let me tell you. I know her, and she's a
great lady. But this is not acceptable. And I'm voting

(52:54):
for Andrew Cuomo despite all of his baggage. And I
just wanted to say it's your listeners. I'm going to
say this four more times this month to make sure
everyone knows.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Please vote for Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 8 (53:07):
Kurt.

Speaker 5 (53:07):
Okay, I'm not going to vote for Curtis, but I
like him a lot. Okay, yeah, I like him. I
like his spirit.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
This mom, Donnie mother, the filmmaker, she they seem to
be a lot, a great person, but how successful I'm
not familiar with her film I mean, she's a na year.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Oh she made a Monsoon wedding. She's made great movies.
Oh The Namesake is a movie I adore. She's a
great filmmaker. And if you met her and you would
say she's a fabulous person. She's not anti Semitics, she's
not any of these things. But regardless of how much
I love the mother, I just have to say, the

(53:44):
son really should find another job.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
All right, Well, Okay, they sound like great films. They're
not Casino or good Fellows, but they sound like good.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
No, she made she's made great films, and she's and
she's very well liked and everyone should be nice to her.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
And well, you know, we'll work on that.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
And I'm glad that her son wants a job. But
this isn't really We're going to go a different way, all.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Right, Hey, let's talk about something more important. Taylor Swift.
How success? My god, how successful was this album in numbers?
In actual metrics?

Speaker 5 (54:14):
Okay, so they're saying that she sold they're saying that
she's going to sell through Friday three million albums or
maybe more, maybe four million. A lot of that is
from streaming. It's not from CBS, although a lot will
be from CBS, LPs, cassettes.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Wait, wait, wait and wait, you can buy a CD.
I didn't even know they still existed.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
Oh but you can. People buy CBS all the time,
and in fact they're popular. Again I heard, and LPs
are popular. And for some reason, Taylor Swift sells cassettes.
I have no idea what people play them on. But
so she sold a lot of records then on Apple,
on iTunes, she's made it so that the album can

(54:53):
only be bought in whole. You cannot buy a single
from it. It's only the whole album. And now she's
made the whole album four ninety nine because she wants
to break records so that you know, people will buy
so many copies of four ninety nine regular iTunes download
is like eleven ninety nine. So they're doing every they're

(55:15):
bending over backwards to get break records. Here Adele with
her twenty five album in twenty fifteen, she sold I
think three point four million, So they're trying to break
that record and they'll do anything they can to do it.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Now, did she also release like an extended album with
all sorts of extra stuff.

Speaker 5 (55:34):
Yeah, she's got four more CDs that you can buy
in addition to this that are eight dollars apiece, and
they would add on to the sales. They keep looking
every day they add on some new thing to build.
These teenage girls. I have to say, they deserve to
be at the Wharton School of Business or at Harvard MBA.

(55:55):
They should be studying Taylor Swiss marketing. It is absolutely genius.
Well your life thing I have the negative thing I
have to say about Taylor Swift is that several of
the songs sound like other people's songs, and the fans
immediately discovered this on Friday when the album came out.

(56:16):
And one of the songs is the title song of
the album is called The Life of a Showgirl, is
a direct ripoff of a Jonas Brothers song called Cool.
You listen to it and you think, well, how does
she get away with this? I don't know. I don't
know how she's going to get away with it, but
it's very weird. The whole thing with this album seems
to be more about having success with it than making

(56:39):
it a good album, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Yeah, Now she's also got everything else, sweaters, mittens, T shirts, right,
merchandise crazy.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
Oh yeah, she's very big on sweaters. You can buy
a Taylor Swift cardigan. It says it's emblazoned with the
letters TS on it. I guess you could say it's
Times Square.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (56:58):
I mean, she's selling every thing on her website, anything
that isn't nailed down as being sold for Taylor Swift.
And you try to imagine that back in our heyday,
that Joni Mitchell or Carol Ken or Carly Simon would do.
Didn't do anything like this. They just put out records
that have lasted fifty years. But they didn't you know that.

(57:19):
You couldn't buy key chains or anything else that I
know of. So it's very strange the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Yeah, but of question, it was a different world then.
All you had was radio and TV. You didn't have
the Internet, you didn't have social you didn't have any
of that stuff. That's true. So, Hey, a lot of
controversy over Bad Bunny, but you know, I watched him
on Saturday Night Live. He's kind of a charming guy,
that Bad Bunny.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
He's very charming. Yeah, he's very charming and he's a
lot of fun. He'll make a great super Bowl show.
He's going to make a great show. I don't know what.
I don't know why people got so excited about because.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
He said horrible things about political stuff.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
But well he didn't He doesn't want to tour the
country because he doesn't want his fans to be arrested
during the shows. Yeah, but a legitimate concern. But he
is Puerto Rican, and you know Puerto Ricans are actually American.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
You're kidding, Oh my god, No, did you know that
now thing was my Oh but how big is he?
I mean, I I've heard him, I've heard his music.

Speaker 5 (58:18):
But for the super.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Bowl, aren't you supposed to be like Michael Jackson Taylor
Swift kind of big?

Speaker 5 (58:23):
Oh he's already sold. He put out an album last January.
It's sold almost three million copies since then. This that's
just that album altogether this year of twenty twenty five,
and it's only October or whatever it is seventh he
sold about five million records this year. So he's hugely popular.

(58:45):
And he just in Puerto Rico. He just did this
you know, thirty day residency in one of their you know,
spectacular show places. People from the States were flying there
to see it. Huh So it was sold out every night.
Oh yeah, it was like the hot ticket was going
to Puerto Rico to see Bad Bunny. So you know,
he's going to have a great super Bowl show. Everyone

(59:07):
should be happy with him when.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
He does it.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
They're all going to say, like, like, you remember when
Ricky Martin did the Grammys twenty years ago. He did
live in LaVita Loca and people were like, who is
this guy? Everyone fell in love with him. That's what
bad Bunny will be like on the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 (59:21):
It's pretty good. You know, you go back, you look
at the original Super Bowl. The halftime was like Anty
Williams or people.

Speaker 5 (59:30):
Let's not knock Andy Williams. Oh he was a great guy.
He was a lovely guy. Now, last night I went
to this movie at the New York Film Festival. It
was the surprise screening of the festival. Except by the
time you got there there was no secret. Even the
I said, even the hot dog vendors knew what was
going on. But the place was packed and it was

(59:50):
for a new movie starring Timothy Challome. And the movie
is called Marty Supreme.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Oh, yeah, it's about Marty Reaestman. I actually knew the guy.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Did you know him very well?

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:00:03):
You knew him.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Yeah, it's about Martys a ping kong player. What he was,
the world champion ping pong player of all time? Yes,
And Marty Supreme is the movie. And that's gonna debut
in Christmas Day, I think, But what was how good here?

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):
It's fabulous. It's an A plus movie. It's four stars.
It's everything. It was so great. So it's such exciting
filmmaking by Josh safty and Tallome is going to probably
get the Oscar for Best Actor. Was the was the
real guy a fast talker, like a Damon Runyon kind
of character.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
It's a real Damon Runyon captain. And he talked like
this and he was, Yeah, that was him.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
Well, he's got it. He's Timothy Tallome is twenty nine
years old. He'll be thirty in December. He has nailed
this thing down. And I'm telling you it's so exciting
and everyone in the cast is great. I'll tell your
friend Dresher plays his mother, which is really funny. She's terrific.
Santra Bernhardt's and oh, two of your friends are in it. Yeah, yeah,

(01:01:02):
John Catsimatidis.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
And you know why John's in terrific? You know why?

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
Did he know him too?

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
Yeah? In real life he was actually his landlord. He
owned the building where Marty's had.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Wow, they didn't tell us this last night because we
only saw the movie. But John Cassimatidas, who looks great
on screen by the way, he's he should be doing
character acting in every movie. Yeah, he's fabulous. And Kevin
O'Leary from Shark Tank, Yeah, has has a big part
in the movie. And he's terrific. He really holds his

(01:01:35):
own he's really played a nasty guy. He's married in
the movie to Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays sort of a
has been movie star, and he's the rich guy who
married her and now she can't get away from him.
And it's a subplot in the movie. It's very good.
And there's a new girl in there whose name is
Odessa as Ion, who's going to get a nomination for

(01:01:57):
Best Supporting afters. She's terrific. So the movie is going
to be spectacular. But I'm so impressed that you knew him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Oh yeah, I'll in fact, when we get off, I'll
send you some pictures of me and him, Marty Supreme.
His real name was Marty Reisman. And so you would
say next year this could be one of the biggest
films of the year.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
Yes, you know. Right now we have one battle after
another with Leonardo DiCaprio on Sean Pan which is really
sort of on the fast track for the Best Picture.
But this one is going to give a lot of trouble.
This that we're going to have a real race in
February and March for the Oscars. Well, great, it's going
to be great.
