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 takes your calls! 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.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just heard the news.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now you'll find out what it all means.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
He smarts amone on sevent ten war.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, 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, they 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 mean, 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 possibly get reelected
(01:35):
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 is
(01:57):
they kept talking about healthcare, the Obama 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,
So it was snarling at airports, making travel almost impossible
(02:21):
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
needed it, thrilling about the flights, and it was screwing
(02:43):
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.
(03:47):
So hey, President Trump announced a lot of pardons. Was
it last night? Yeah? Last night? I remember the whole matter,
like seventy five 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 at
(04:09):
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 cour 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
(05:34):
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 4 (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. One year extension is something many Republicans themselves
have said they want.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Does anybody take this guy seriously?
Speaker 4 (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,
don't 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 in the cave, Trump's gonna ever watched the
ABC Sunday Show. It is the most ridiculous show in
(06:47):
the world. 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,
mar mar 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.
(07:10):
Meantime he's 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 and he's
like a gentle little poodle. Just uh, it's a ridiculous show.
(07:33):
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 5 (07:58):
Everybody knows I know Chris better than anybody in their
own I always felt he was guilty. But what he
did is he took the George Washington Bridge.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Was very serious.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
He closed down the George Washington Bridge, and you had
medical people get 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 fighted 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 6 (10:04):
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 6 (10:11):
It wasn't so tough, and we had a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Who didn't have a very strong arm.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
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 6 (10:21):
I love the Jets and I love the Giants. I
had a lot of friends Baptist 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. They'll get
it together.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
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 doing a
lot of jokes about about the election, about all that stuff. Opening,
(11:03):
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 Osempic type drugs cheaper, make 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
(11:25):
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 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
(11:47):
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 oddly
see some sort of psycho. He 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
(12:08):
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 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,
(12:28):
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 go after a well, now,
listen to this. They talk about mom, Donnie, who watches
(12:51):
Saturday Night Live, Who's in that audience, what type of
people take a listen. This will show you exactly what type.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
On Tuesdays are on mom. Donnie was elected mayor.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
He was elected.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
A lot of sleeve offans. He 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, 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
(13:49):
getting ridiculed on Saturday Night Live, Andrew Cuomo the 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
(14:12):
everybody to vote for Cuomo the president, everybody, even with that,
he couldn't win. And boy and Saturday Night Live, they
went after Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Andrew Cuomo spent the last day before the election campaigning
around the city and a.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
White Ford Bronco, which is what O. J.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Simpson used to get away from police. But at least
oj was ahead and a race for a while. 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
(14:51):
the city so he could be a New York City
resident during the campaign. But it's over. Now, let's seef
he goes back to Westchester or where he goes. Hey,
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.
(15:12):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Give wr O Bri 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 1 (15:40):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I'm doing very well.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
From what you describe, it sounds like the Sunday Morning
talk show, especially with George Stephanopolis, 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 Stefanopolis, 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. They 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, you got the View the ABC Sunday Morning
(16:29):
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 them in a
bunch of Sunday shows. They've actually said the phrase with
inflation raging, there's no raging. Inflation three percent? It was
(16:51):
nine percent under Biden. You never mentioned it. Under Biden,
you never heard about it. It was triple what it
is now 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 even mentioned it. They've never mentioned the
word till now. Let's go to Bruce in West Milford. Bruce,
(17:14):
how you doing, Hey, Mark nice, forget it.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
Listen. I live in West Milford, about seven miles away,
is Derek.

Why are you talking so fast?
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Oh? Good? On my work. We live about seven miles
from Derek jeters old Cloma wants to.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Buy it Derek jeters old house.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Yeah, the one he just sold for fourteen million dollars
or something.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Where's that in Greenville Lake, New York.
Speaker 8 (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 do I go?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Room, I don't know, don't. I don't believe that. Andrew
Cromo will tell you he's got You're 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 City. Don. How you doing?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yeah, fellow Mark 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 he'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
got out due Jane Shepherd or any of them. Let's
go to uh Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, How you doing Yo?
Speaker 8 (18:41):
How you doing? Mark?
Speaker 9 (18:43):
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 gategory called food insecure.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, that is the dumb where you're not supposed to
stay hungry anymore. You know, we have our hunger th
on battling hunger. You're not supposed to say You're supposed
to say food insecure. It's the dumbest phrase. Like I
guess at some point it's like a flood victim. You
can't say flood victim. There dryness insecure, food insecure? What
(19:22):
the hell does that mean? Let's go to Margaret in Westchester. Margaret,
how you doing?
Speaker 10 (19:27):
I'm doing well? Yes, Margaret, I really like to speak.
Is it Marks? Them ound, 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, notatching you for a long time.
It's just an out of concentration figuring things out, being respectful,
being respectful.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I'm I'm kidding. Where do you live in Westchester?
Speaker 10 (20:11):
I live on the Tellam near Rochelle Border. Oh, very
nice complex.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah, there's there a.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Lot of seniors 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 10 (20:27):
Yes, yes, really nice and.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
All you seniors there. It's kind of a lot of
wild parties and stuff like that.
Speaker 10 (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 do you Is that what you're.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
Saying exactly exactly?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
All right? Thanks for calling Nessald 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 every day
(21:25):
and make up those 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 lists. 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. 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 columnist Liz Peak
(22:11):
will be with us next on seven to ten. WR
Marximoni's back on seventeen.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Wor Well.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
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 3 (22:34):
I'm well, thank you.
Speaker 12 (22:35):
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 to Clearly, it was a I will
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 3 (22:58):
I don't know if he did.
Speaker 12 (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
(23:20):
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. The answer is they
got nothing zero. They're not going to get an automatic
(23:42):
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 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 3 (24:10):
Ah?
Speaker 12 (24:11):
You know, I haven't gone back and looked at all
the ones.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I don't know. I mean, I sort of tend to
agree with that.
Speaker 12 (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 3 (24:31):
Because they wanted less spending.
Speaker 12 (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.
It's like the author never heard of the filibuster. They
(25:15):
don't know how it works. 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 3 (25:29):
As you know, it's all the Democrats are the good guys.
Speaker 12 (25:32):
The Republicans or Likekem 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 demin 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 12 (25:57):
Well, they're just dishonest. I don't know about corrupt the honest,
And it's just a.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Shame, you know.
Speaker 12 (26:02):
I Mean, at some point I get so tired of
Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal and all the usual suspects,
Corey Booker, etc. Gavin Newsom just plain lying about stuff.
They do it all the time. 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
(26:23):
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.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
For it that 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? What it says is that it's a failed program.
(26:53):
It never worked. The minute that the Supreme Court struck
down the individual mandate, you knew 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
(27:15):
on their enrolling even if they 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
(27:36):
buy Obamacare because the Supreme Court says 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 3 (27:56):
And of course it's true.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Of course, 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 Deblasio. We'll get through this, all right, won't.
Speaker 12 (28:18):
We We'll get through it, but it's going to be
a pretty unpleasant time.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And I think.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
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 3 (28:35):
Eventually we'll get rid of this guy. But it's the
cozying up to.
Speaker 12 (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 12 (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, Cheshmeer.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
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 12 (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, I'm sorry them having this coffee attack.
We're already seeing Democratic Socialists attack and now challenging Hakeem Jeffries.
(29:47):
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?
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
(30:11):
to be spent, I think protecting incumbents in the Democratic
Party like Schumer, who.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Is not popular.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
But I think 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 3 (30:30):
And yeah, ma'am, Donnie is the face of that.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, I measine. 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?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Unbelievable, 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 3 (30:56):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (30:57):

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, You're ahead of the game just for being here.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
It's marks alone on seven ten WR. 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
(31:58):
after the news on seven to ten.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
You oh r
You just heard the news.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now you'll find out what it all means.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
He smarts amone on sevent ten war.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, 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, they 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 mean, 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 possibly get reelected
(01:35):
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 is
(01:57):
they kept talking about healthcare, the Obama 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,
So it was snarling at airports, making travel almost impossible
(02:21):
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
needed it, thrilling about the flights, and it was screwing
(02:43):
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.
(03:47):
So hey, President Trump announced a lot of pardons. Was
it last night? Yeah? Last night? I remember the whole matter,
like seventy five 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 at
(04:09):
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 cour 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
(05:34):
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 4 (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. One year extension is something many Republicans themselves
have said they want.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Does anybody take this guy seriously?
Speaker 4 (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,
don't 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 in the cave, Trump's gonna ever watched the
ABC Sunday Show. It is the most ridiculous show in
(06:47):
the world. 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,
mar mar 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.
(07:10):
Meantime he's 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 and he's
like a gentle little poodle. Just uh, it's a ridiculous show.
(07:33):
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 5 (07:58):
Everybody knows I know Chris better than anybody in their
own I always felt he was guilty. But what he
did is he took the George Washington Bridge.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Was very serious.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
He closed down the George Washington Bridge, and you had
medical people get 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 fighted 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 6 (10:04):
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 6 (10:11):
It wasn't so tough, and we had a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Who didn't have a very strong arm.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
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 6 (10:21):
I love the Jets and I love the Giants. I
had a lot of friends Baptist 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. They'll get
it together.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
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 doing a
lot of jokes about about the election, about all that stuff. Opening,
(11:03):
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 Osempic type drugs cheaper, make 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
(11:25):
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 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
(11:47):
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 oddly
see some sort of psycho. He 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
(12:08):
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 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,
(12:28):
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 go after a well, now,
listen to this. They talk about mom, Donnie, who watches
(12:51):
Saturday Night Live, Who's in that audience, what type of
people take a listen. This will show you exactly what type.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
On Tuesdays are on mom. Donnie was elected mayor.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
He was elected.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
A lot of sleeve offans. He 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, 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
(13:49):
getting ridiculed on Saturday Night Live, Andrew Cuomo the 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
(14:12):
everybody to vote for Cuomo the president, everybody, even with that,
he couldn't win. And boy and Saturday Night Live, they
went after Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Andrew Cuomo spent the last day before the election campaigning
around the city and a.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
White Ford Bronco, which is what O. J.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Simpson used to get away from police. But at least
oj was ahead and a race for a while. 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
(14:51):
the city so he could be a New York City
resident during the campaign. But it's over. Now, let's seef
he goes back to Westchester or where he goes. Hey,
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.
(15:12):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Give wr O Bri 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 1 (15:40):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I'm doing very well.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
From what you describe, it sounds like the Sunday Morning
talk show, especially with George Stephanopolis, 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 Stefanopolis, 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. They 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, you got the View the ABC Sunday Morning
(16:29):
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 them in a
bunch of Sunday shows. They've actually said the phrase with
inflation raging, there's no raging. Inflation three percent? It was
(16:51):
nine percent under Biden. You never mentioned it. Under Biden,
you never heard about it. It was triple what it
is now 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 even mentioned it. They've never mentioned the
word till now. Let's go to Bruce in West Milford. Bruce,
(17:14):
how you doing, Hey, Mark nice, forget it.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
Listen. I live in West Milford, about seven miles away,

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 do I go?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Room, I don't know, don't. I don't believe that. Andrew
Cromo will tell you he's got You're looking to buy

no no verification of that. I can't fixture Andrew Cromo
living way up there. But let's go to Don in
New York City. Don. How you doing?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yeah, fellow Mark 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 he'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
got out due Jane Shepherd or any of them. Let's
go to uh Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, How you doing Yo?
Speaker 8 (18:41):
How you doing? Mark?
Speaker 9 (18:43):
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 gategory called food insecure.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, that is the dumb where you're not supposed to
stay hungry anymore. You know, we have our hunger th
on battling hunger. You're not supposed to say You're supposed
to say food insecure. It's the dumbest phrase. Like I
guess at some point it's like a flood victim. You
can't say flood victim. There dryness insecure, food insecure? What
(19:22):
the hell does that mean? Let's go to Margaret in Westchester. Margaret,
how you doing?
Speaker 10 (19:27):
I'm doing well? Yes, Margaret, I really like to speak.
Is it Marks? Them ound, 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, notatching you for a long time.
It's just an out of concentration figuring things out, being respectful,
being respectful.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I'm I'm kidding. Where do you live in Westchester?
Speaker 10 (20:11):
I live on the Tellam near Rochelle Border. Oh, very
nice complex.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah, there's there a.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Lot of seniors 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 10 (20:27):
Yes, yes, really nice and.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
All you seniors there. It's kind of a lot of
wild parties and stuff like that.
Speaker 10 (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 do you Is that what you're.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
Saying exactly exactly?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
All right? Thanks for calling Nessald 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 every day
(21:25):
and make up those 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 lists. 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. 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 columnist Liz Peak
(22:11):
will be with us next on seven to ten. WR
Marximoni's back on seventeen.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Wor Well.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
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 3 (22:34):
I'm well, thank you.
Speaker 12 (22:35):
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 to Clearly, it was a I will
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 3 (22:58):
I don't know if he did.
Speaker 12 (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
(23:20):
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. The answer is they
got nothing zero. They're not going to get an automatic
(23:42):
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 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 3 (24:10):
Ah?
Speaker 12 (24:11):
You know, I haven't gone back and looked at all
the ones.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I don't know. I mean, I sort of tend to
agree with that.
Speaker 12 (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 3 (24:31):
Because they wanted less spending.
Speaker 12 (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.
It's like the author never heard of the filibuster. They
(25:15):
don't know how it works. 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 3 (25:29):
As you know, it's all the Democrats are the good guys.
Speaker 12 (25:32):
The Republicans or Likekem 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 demin 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 12 (25:57):
Well, they're just dishonest. I don't know about corrupt the honest,
And it's just a.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Shame, you know.
Speaker 12 (26:02):
I Mean, at some point I get so tired of
Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal and all the usual suspects,
Corey Booker, etc. Gavin Newsom just plain lying about stuff.
They do it all the time. 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
(26:23):
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.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
For it that 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? What it says is that it's a failed program.
(26:53):
It never worked. The minute that the Supreme Court struck
down the individual mandate, you knew 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
(27:15):
on their enrolling even if they 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
(27:36):
buy Obamacare because the Supreme Court says 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 3 (27:56):
And of course it's true.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Of course, 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 Deblasio. We'll get through this, all right, won't.
Speaker 12 (28:18):
We We'll get through it, but it's going to be
a pretty unpleasant time.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And I think.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
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 3 (28:35):
Eventually we'll get rid of this guy. But it's the
cozying up to.
Speaker 12 (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 12 (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, Cheshmeer.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
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 12 (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, I'm sorry them having this coffee attack.
We're already seeing Democratic Socialists attack and now challenging Hakeem Jeffries.
(29:47):
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?
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
(30:11):
to be spent, I think protecting incumbents in the Democratic
Party like Schumer, who.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Is not popular.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
But I think 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 3 (30:30):
And yeah, ma'am, Donnie is the face of that.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, I measine. 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?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Unbelievable, he would not recognize that mark. He would not
recognize it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):

Hill or Fox News, but go to a website. There's
