Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's a mess out there. We'll get to the historic,
powerful moment, President Trump speaking in the Knesset Israel this morning,
powerful speech. We'll get to that Columbus Day. The parade
is canceled. We'll explain in a moment. We'll get to
George Stephanopolos. He shocked a lot of people on the
Sunday Show yesterday, sinking to all time lows. It was
(00:21):
really dirty, awful Stephanopolis at is worst. We'll get to
Diane Keaton. We'll get to the mayoral race. We'll get
to Mom, Donnie Cuomo, Curtis. A lot has happened over
the weekend. We'll get to the mayoral race. The stock
market took a plunge on Friday because there was a
(00:43):
tariff war that suddenly shot up against China tariffs, Dow
dropping five hundred points. The MSNBC, CNN Crown, they loved it.
They was great. They got to talk about that Dow. Wait, well,
the President speaking about it this morning, reassuring people. Dal
right back up to where it was very gloomy over
there at MSNBC. Right now, Hey, the Columbus Day parade
(01:07):
is canceled. This is very, very very unusual. It has
been canceled because of the weather. It's brutal outside, the rain,
the wind, very very high winds expected today. They were
on the phone all afternoon yesterday trying to decide what
to do. The weather forecasters said, as bad as yesterday was,
(01:27):
today could be worse. Kind of it would just look
horrible having a parade in that wind, in that rain.
It would look awful, just everybody getting blown around all
over the place, and it would be dangerous. Trees fallen,
anything could happen. So they made the other final straw
was Governor Hochel declared officially declared a state of emergency
(01:51):
in New York. And then overnight they realized, you can't
if there's a state of emergency, you can't have a
parade in the middle of that state of emergency. Means
you're supposed to stay home, be up. So the parade
is canceled. Latest word from the parade organizers is that
they're not going to reschedule. I guess it's just too
(02:13):
tough to do. So there is no Columbus Day Parade
this year. However, they normally would broadcast it on TV
about one o'clock, two o'clock they're still going to do
the broadcast. What they'll do is do interviews with the
Grand Marshal, the people in the parade. There'll be a
show you can watch on TV today. The Columbus Club
over there on sixty ninth Street, they're the ones that
(02:33):
put on the parade, so they'll do a live show
from the Columbus Club. They'll interview a lot of people.
They had a big gallat dinner Saturday night. I'll get
to that in a few moments because that has a
lot to do with the mayoral race, the behavior of
the candidates there. We'll get to that coming up. So
President Trump in Israel. It was a powerful speech. It
was great. It was a very formal teleprompter speech about
(02:56):
bringing peace to the world. But it's Donald Trump, so
minutes he would go off the teleprompter and throw in
a lot of stuff, some great moments. At one point
even looked at the Israeli president said you gotta pardon Babie.
Give him a pardon. The guy deserves it. Best wartime
leader ever. Remember Netnyahu was indicted a few years ago.
(03:18):
Minor little stuff. They claim he took a gift, They
claim he gave something to a reporter in exchange for
favorable coverage. It's not big stuff, but the President actually
sang it to him in front of the world. Give
the guy a pardon. After all he's done. The hostages
have been freed, the twenty living hostages. It's believed there's
twenty seven or twenty eight dead hostages. The body should
(03:39):
be released in the next day or two. The twenty
hostages were released. This is a great moment. It's a
great deal. And the only criticisms some people have Israel
sure gave up a lot of prisoners in exchange for
this something that I don't know, like a thousand prisoners.
The ratio of hostages to prisoners didn't seem right to
a lot of people. Some of those prisoners release, about
(04:02):
one hundred of them are the worst terrorists, I mean,
really bad Hamas terrorist types. Now, the argument is that
there's about twenty five thousand Hamas terrorists out there, so
if it's twenty five thousand and one hundred, it won't
change the dynamic too much. But it's a great moment,
a great deal, historic President Trump. The broadcast the speech
(04:24):
live on all the networks this morning. Then when it
was over, you could see the smiles and everybody's faces
knowing peace is here. It's a new era. It's the
beginning of a whole new era in the Mid East.
Everything is bad. Everybody was happy unless you put on MSNBC.
Then when the speech was over, they went to those
guys they have, you know, that whole panel with the
glasses and the bow ties, and they gave you that. Well,
(04:47):
they tried to. It was tough to make it sound negative,
the whole thing, but they tried. They tried. Well, you
never know, I mean, this is we're partnering with the
Saudi in the Middle Eastern. Can't be counted on as
a partner them. So they tried to spin it negative.
It wasn't easy to do. They really struggled. The hostages
(05:07):
are back, but they're going to be in medical care
for quite some time. They were kept in dark tunnels
for two years, and doctors say, besides all the physical
medical problems they could be facing, they're gonna need a
lot of treatment. The mental health problems could be huge.
So they'll be treating those hostages for a long long time.
(05:32):
And I sorry they keep getting these there's power outages
all over the place. I keep getting these power company
calls and we're restoring your power. So I think in
Connecticut you got like ten thousand outages this morning. Trees down,
lines down all over the place. So hey, you also
(05:56):
talk about Diane Keaton, lots of talk about their amazing career,
and then we'll get to Eric Adams having a fight
with a reporter getting a little angry. I'm speaking of angry.
The Columbus Day Parade was to be today. It's been
canceled because of the weather. But what they do is
(06:18):
on the Saturday night before they have a huge galla dinner.
The committee the club that puts on the parade, and
it's a great thing. Maria Bartiromo's the MC, a lot
of famous faces. It was normally at the Wall door
for somewhere, this time at Chipriani Wall Street, which I
(06:38):
like that Chipriani forty second Street, but that Wall Street
one is quite inconvenient getting to. And you get down
there to Wall Street, it's like a maze of little
streets and half of them are closed off as a
mess down there. So anyway, but it was quite a night.
Curtis showed up in fact, check my Instagram you'll see
a picture of me and Curtis at the dinner. But
(06:59):
Curtish showed up for the cocktail hour and was mobbed,
mobbed everybody wanted a picture with Curtis. People that are
all just surrounding him, mobbing them everybody. The energy you
could see in the room for Curtis was amazing, just
mobbed the whole night by the crowd. Then Andrew Cuomo
(07:21):
showed up for the cocktail party and the dinner and
it was just the opposite. Most people just kind of
looking at him, and he looked like he was not
in a good mood, not in a good mood. He
was kind of glaring at me the whole time. I
just stayed away. And then but there were other people
in the media who he went over and confronted. It
was it got kind of ugly, fact people intervening saying, hey,
(07:43):
not the place. So I don't know what the hell
he's so angry about. But it didn't look good. So far,
it hasn't gotten a lot of coverage his behavior there,
but it might. It might start to him. He was
quite unpleasant to some people there. We'll wait and see
what comes out about that. But hey, and George Stephanopolis
(08:06):
yesterday gets Vice President Vance as the guest. Now that's
kind of a big deal for a Sunday show to
have the Vice President of the United States as your guest.
You usually treat him with the great dignity. But Stephanopolis,
of course, a left wing, totally corrupt anchor totally partisan,
totally slanted, is just badgering and banging away Advance, trying
(08:30):
to give him a hard time. And then apparently they
decided the thing they would get him on is Tom
Holman taking a fifty thousand dollars bribe. Now there's no
evidence anywhere of Tom Holman taking a fifty thousand dollars bribe.
There is an FBI they had some undercover guy recording
a conversation of Homean accepting fifty thousand. But what it
(08:51):
was was, this is not while he's in government. He
was running a private business in the private sector and
somebody hired him for fifty dollars. It's not a bribe.
This is what everybody in government does when they leave.
This is what all these guys do. You know, the
former Senate majority leader, the Speaker of the House, all
(09:12):
the top government people, cabinet. But this is what many
of them about eighty percent of them. When they leave,
they set up a business and you can hire them.
And the reason you hire them is they got a
lot of cloud in DC. They can pick up the
phone and help you get a contract, they can help
you get a law changed, they can make phone calls.
They're like lobbyists, but they got a tremendous amount of influence.
(09:35):
Happens everywhere, happens here in New York City. If you
were a big deputy mayor or some big thing in
the New York City government, when you leave, many of
these guys form a company and you hire them as
your lobbyist. They can go down the city Hall and
get you your permits, or they can get whatever you need.
So it's perfectly normal. That's what Homan did in the
years he was out of government, and it's what eighty
(09:55):
percent of the people do when they're out of government.
It's what James Comy did. They go back into the
private sete. Now sometimes you'll see whoa you know, he
went to work for a law firm. That's the reason
the law firm hired him or his government influence. If
you're in the US Attorney's office and you leave the
law firm will hire you, not because you're the greatest attorney,
but because you know everybody in the US Attorney's office.
(10:17):
You can help get a deal for the client. But
it's a silly little story. But Stephanoppolis brings it up
with the Vice president, the vice president explaining all this
to them, and Stephanoppolis won't give up, and he's just
banging away at the Vice President of the United States.
And then this is where people thought it was the
lowest moment ever in the history of Sunday morning television.
(10:38):
He said, well, I have reporting here from Pro Publica.
Now you might be saying, what the hell is Pro Publica.
It's this far left wing blog. They call themselves journalist.
It's a news organization. It's a far left wing blog.
It's the last I mean, the fact that ABC News
is quoting this far left wing blog as some sort
(11:00):
of news organization is preposterous. It's backed by a couple
of left wing billionaires who pumped tons of money into it.
But the last time you ever heard it discussed was
by Keith Oberman, Remember that crazy Keith Oberman MSNBC. That's
the kind of guy was always quoting Pro public, so
it looks so low. And at one point the Vice
(11:21):
President said, you know, George, I'm the Vice President of
United States. Here I am on television. You should be
asking me about the shutdown. You should be discussing important issues,
not going down some far left rabbit hole, which he said,
that's the reason your ratings are slipping, that's the reason
less and less people watch you all the time. Well,
Stephan Upplis got mad and just cut him off, just
(11:43):
cut him off, and said I didn't I didn't a
quire him up, and we have to go. And then
as Vance started to say something, Stephanopplis said, we'll be
right back. Just cut off the Vice president. It was
the lowest moment. Can you imagine if Tim Russett were
alive and saw this. David Brinkley created that Sunday Morning Show.
I can imagine if he came back to life and
(12:04):
saw that, it would have been just awful for him. So, hey,
Diane Keaton, didn't expect her to go. She was only
seventy nine, I mean, seemed okay, but apparently her health
declined a lot in the last few months. Diane Keaton,
of course, the godfather, Michael, why.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Did you come here.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Why what you want of me?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
After all this time you're out, You're going to be
calling writing.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I came here because I need you, because I kept
for you.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Please stop at Michaelsh.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I want you to marry men.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now in real life, the opposite happened this Godfather's what
was it seventy one, seventy two, The sequel Godfather Too,
I think was seventy four. And then after that, Al
Pacino starts dating Diane Keaton and they get very very
very serious and goes on for many years, and I
guess she wanted to get married. She finally just absolutely
(13:05):
insisted they get married. This is after many, many, many
many years of dating. Pacino did not want to get married,
did not want to commit to that, and so she
broke up with him. That was the end of it.
Pacino later said years later that was the biggest mistake
of his life. Biggest regret is that he didn't marry her.
He should have done it, he didn't do it. So
now the other one was Woody Allen. Of course, Diane
(13:29):
Keaton and Woody Allen. They first worked together on Broadway,
and there was nineteen sixty nine Woody Allen had a
big Broadway show called Play It Against Sam, based on
the movie Castle Blank, and he auditioned a woman named
Diane Keaton and thought she was phenomenally he so he
fell in love with her immediately. Couldn't believe how fast
he fell in love with her. So she starred in
the show with him. They later did Annie Hall. She
(13:51):
got the Oscar for that.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You played very well, Oh yeah, so do you. Oh god,
what a dumb thing to say, right, I mean, you say,
even right away.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I have to say, you play well?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh oh god, Annie Well?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Oh well, Lotti da Lotti da. Well. You had to
be there at the time. Boy, that was quite a movie,
what a big film. That was her fashion in that film,
trend setting it was. She won the Oscar for it.
And of course she and Woody Allen dated for a while.
I mean, anybody can go from al Pacino to Woody Allen.
(14:27):
You got to give them credit. And oh hey, take
a look at my Instagram. The last time I saw
them together, they were having dinner together. I don't know,
it was like a year or two years ago. Whenever
it was, I put I took a picture of them
having dinner together with the wife, Sunny but it's up
on my Instagram. Take a look at it. Mark Simone,
NYC at Instagram. Woody Allen wrote a quite a piece
(14:49):
about her that's out. You can read that today. So
he Mark Sanchez now says drug substance alcohol? Is that
what he's saying. He says he's in recovery and now
I'm just thank my recovery.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And I just wanted to thank the.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
First responders.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Eskenazi Hospital.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That's why you're going to first responders, thinking the police
that stopped him from killing the guy. I mean, the
guy was beaten to a pulp by Mark Sanchez. In fact,
if you see the pictures of this guy in the hospital,
it was brutal. Sanchez, I guess trying to recover his career.
I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't bet so. Anyway,
we got a lot to get to Michael Goodwin in
a few moments. The parade has been canceled. No Columbus
(15:41):
date parade. The rain will continue. It looks like it'll
ease up by tomorrow morning, and hey, we'll take some
calls next. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go
to fran massive peak fan. How you doing.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
What's up, buddy? Always a pleasure, Thanks for the time.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And what's the weather like out there? How's the wind,
the rain, any damage?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It's miserable. And the scary thing is the win with
the trees. A lot of big trees in Long Island
where I live, and that's my biggest thing. I hate
those big trees.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's a good thing about in the middle of Manhattan.
We don't have to worry about any trees. Everything.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's just buildings. But anyway, listen, love the show. And
what a day for Trumpers, for the Jews, and what
a day just for Trump. If you think about the
Trump family, think about what they went through the first presidency.
The boy is absolutely ambushed by everybody. People thrown in jail, felonies,
(16:42):
They went after his businesses, they lied every which way
and any and.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
He survived it.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
That any runs again and they steal the second election
from him.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
They go after him.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
They really want to put him in jail and everything.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
We know, the whole history. This is there a question, right,
but you think about we've thought about it quite a bit.
It's a it's an amazing story. The historians may have
to actually tell the truth and write what really happened
is it's fascinating. Let's go to Anthony and Staten Island. Anthony,
how you doing, Mark.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
As listen from Brooklyn would say, I'm good. Hello.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
More.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
My point is how many Guardian angels does Curtis will
you lead and manage?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well? The numbers change through the years. I mean it's
been up to like ten thousand, at one point one thousand,
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Okay, so you do though. It's five thousand, one hundred
and thirty cities in fourteen different countries. And why to
me that's very important.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah. Now people will say, hey, I don't see any Guardian. Well,
you only see them where they're needed. They're in the
high crime areas, they're in the they're in cities all
over the world that have serious problems. But if you're
you know, right outside there in fifty fifth and six,
it's not a high crime area, you won't see them there,
which is the idea. You want to see him where
they're needed. Let's go to Joseph in New York City, Joseph,
(18:04):
how you doing.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Mark had the Columbus Day to everyone. Mark isn't Jeff
Bezels concern that his Amazon Food grocery stores were taken
over by that cop.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
No, Actually, he bought Whole Foods a few years ago.
Deep down he doesn't. I don't think he really wants
to have these whole food supermarkets. If you'll notice, it
was very very high quality whole Foods everything in there.
After he bought it, they kind of brought the quality down,
still very good, but they brought the quality down and
they're making the stores a little smaller. The reason he
(18:40):
bought them is their distribution centers. He looked at the
they charted where all the Whole Foods are, and they
are exactly where they needed warehouse space, distribution centers. That's
one reason they bought them. And they're taking a lot
of those Whole food stores were enormous, so they're cutting
them in half and then back half is a distribution center.
(19:01):
A warehouse basis is very smart that way he plots.
When it looks like this is what he's doing, that's
not what he's doing. It's a scheme to set him
up for the next thing, Like Originally when he formed Amazon,
it was just to sell books. It was a place
you could go to buy books online. Well that's what
we all thought, and that's what he said. It turns
(19:22):
out that wasn't what it was all about. He knew
way back then what he was going to do, and
the reason he started us this little book thing was
so he could chart out, map out distribution, how to distribute,
set up the distribution network. Books were the easiest thing
to do it with to start, but he was plotting
to eventually be the place where you buy everything. But
(19:43):
he used books to figure out the logistics and get
that all set. Then he went to everything else. Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Good morning, Malcome okay, Mac. I'm Israeli hostages of being
released and it's really his of the Trump administration and
jarvied Kush day and VANNX says, but it's a bad deal.
What do they release it?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Something's going on? Call us back. Your phone is going crazy.
I think it's our phone. Actually, uh, that's not. Vincent's
what happens. We don't have actual phones anymore, believe it
or not. This place is so high tech it's not
even a phone. It's all digital. It's on an Amazon cloud.
And what happens, It was cutting out. But you'll also
hear that sometimes you'll speed up the voice and the
(20:32):
noodle's low dome little voice. And we don't want Vincent
to sound like that. It's not your fault, it's our phones.
But let's go to Walt and Yonkers. Walt, how you doing, hey, Mark.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I had a fight with the librarian yesterday. I'm leaving
the place and I tell her, Happy Columbus Day. She
to me, happy Indigenous people Day. I say to her,
you mean, like stand Wattie the Cherokee slave owner who
is a general in the Confederates.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I mean, now, I keep telling you, don't fight with
these livers. They don't want to hear it. Don't fight
with them. Let them live in their bubble. Don't fight
with them. What's the point. You're not going to convert them.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Always got to fight, always go to fight.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
No, no, pick your battles, don't don't waste your breath
on them. They hate Listen, they hate Columbus. Why do
they hate Columbus. It's not really even Columbus. They just
hate America. They're the guy that founded and found America.
They just don't like. They may love their country, but
they don't like their country. They don't like Fourth of July,
they don't like hot dogs, they don't like barbecue. They
(21:31):
just don't like this stuff. And they don't like Columbus.
That's the reason for this. Now, what you should do?
You know, Columbus, I mean, think of you. He was
actually the first illegal alien. They claim to love illegals,
they should love Columbus. He should be the symbol of
illegal aliens. He was the first one here. Hey, when
we come back, Michael Goodwin, we'll talk to him next.
(21:51):
What a column he wrote yesterday. We'll talk about Israel,
the peace and all that coming up next on seven
to ten. W o R. Let's get the latest news thing.
President Trump in a historic speech in Israel this morning.
Michael Goodman wrote a powerful column yesterday about peace in
the Middle East. And he's the best columnist in America
and he's with us right now. Michael Goodwin, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Good morning, Mark? I think everyone is doing pretty good
this morning.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Huh, yeah, what do you? I assume you saw the speech?
Pretty powerful, wasn't it?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Oh? Extraordinary? Yeah? I mean Trump at his trumpiest, right,
I mean, it's just, you know, he's a remarkable figure
on the world stage, and you know, you can you
can hate him if you want, but what he has
achieved here, I believe, is nothing short of remarkable.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Well, now, everybody was so thrilled, unless you turned over
to MSNBC. The glasses were fogging up, the bow ties
were crooked. The boat was thinking, uh well, but they
were trying to spin it. They said, you know, are
all these partners we have, these Middle Eastern countries, Saudi,
the those type of partners. You can't count on them.
And who trusts some us to hold up any end
(23:05):
of an agreement? What do you think?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
I guess there's got to be a little rain on
every parade. Yeah, but look, Mark, this is a remarkable day.
And I think the President, among the many other things
that he said that made perfect sense today by focusing
on the Iranian attack which the United States carried out
(23:31):
with Israel. The effects of that, and I think probably
the fall of the Iranian regime sooner rather than later,
is that it creates a whole new dynamic in the
region and frankly in the world. But you think back
to hesbalah Right, where did they get their money in
(23:53):
arms from a moss?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Of course, big, big part of this.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Iranian terror regime, the hooties Syria. I mean, it's it's all,
it's all coming undone before our eyes. But only because
of two things. Israel's resolve and because of Donald Trump's
vision that we could change this dynamic. And he has
(24:20):
done it.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, we didn't realize at the time. We just thought
it was take out the nuclear stuff, and that was that.
We didn't realize the chess move that he was playing there.
Take out these terrorist groups financing, take out their muscle,
and you've weakened Hesbala, hoodies, everybody all at once.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
So but what you say, and and.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
I think that within the kind of the terrorist world,
Iran has been diminished and embarrassed and humiliated. It turned
out to have been effeckless at the at the most
important moment, and it could not you know it, Its
air defenses were shredded. It had no defense for an
(25:01):
attack on its home land. I mean, that's the ultimate
failure of any regime, in any kind of government.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, uh, yeah. Trump has shown a lot of things.
Who's not as tough as we think even if you
look at Ukraine, we always started the Russian military as
a superpower, but they're struggling now for years to try
to get anywhere with this ragtag Ukrainian army. So do
you think maybe it's the same with China, that maybe
they're not the biggest, the powerful military that we think
(25:29):
they are.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, those are two very good points and if and
the President is clearly focused on both of them. So
if he can pull off something similar in each of
those situations, I mean, talk about your Pax Americana, I mean,
that would be a remarkable event. I mean, but already
(25:52):
what he has done in the Mid East is I think,
not just unprecedented, but even unthinkable, right that no one
thought this kind of thing was even possible before Donald
Trump got involved, and before I mean look, Nettayahu, of
course is a highly controversial and even unpopular person within Israel,
(26:16):
but I think their partnership has stood the test of
time and achieved great things, not only for Israel but
for the world by by cooling the hot temperatures of
Iran especially and all of the offshoots who were taking
(26:37):
Iranian money. That that well has dried up thanks to
the American sanctions and thanks to President Trump's attack, I
think it has it has changed the dynamic completely.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, hey, before we run out of time, let's just
get to the mayor ole race. I noticed Mam Donni,
who's a very articulate guy, a very sharp debater, in
the last week, every time he's asked a tough question,
he goes into that word salad, not a bumbling Kamala
Harris word salad, but a skilled one. But yet the
word slid. The fact that he's being vague, not answering.
(27:12):
What does that tell us about his campaign?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Well, look, I think he's a very shallow man. I
mean he's not He hasn't done anything in the real world,
right except get himself in this position. I mean people
like him are a dime for two dozen in Albany, right,
the kind of shallow, inexperienced, you know, good at getting
(27:37):
in elected, nothing else. And I think one of the
things that's probably happened to him is he's feeling exposed
at this point. His ideas are bad ideas, they're not popular.
Anybody with any sense would tell him, you know, all
this free stuff is a disaster in the making. You
will destroy the city if you try to rein in
(28:00):
the police, if you hate the police, if you tell
them not to make arrests or prostitution for misdemeanors, for
all of these kinds of things, you'll have no police department.
Nobody will want to be a police officer. And I
think he's already running up against problems. And of course
there's the budget issue. If he were to do what
(28:21):
he's going to do, where will he get the money,
What's going to happen to the school system, what's going
to happen to safety, to how who's going to invest
in New York City? If it looks like the socialist
government is just going to confiscate everything. So I think
he's I think the longer this campaign goes on, the
worse he looks.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, now you got the debate coming up this week.
It'll be Thursday night. Culmos not a great debater, Mom
Donnie's pretty good. Curtis is great. Could this change the race?
Let's say Curtis land some knockout punches.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
That's the potential. I think that the the most likely
potential is that Mom Donnie will be exposed as a
lightweight or as a goofy goofy inexperience know nothing lightweight. Now,
(29:15):
whoever does that, if it's Sliwa or if it's Cuomo,
will be the big beneficiary. Whoever can draw the stronger
contrast between themselves and Mam Donnie, I think, will be
the big beneficiary. But you're right, Mark that this could
this debate could be pivotal because early voting starts pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, let's hope so. Well, everybody read Michael Goodwin's column yesterday.
It's New York Post. It's all his columns are up
on the New York Post website. You can go read
them all. It's every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New
York Post. Great stuff, Michael Goodwin, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Oh, it's a pleasure.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Take care. We've got a lot to get to. Hey,
we'll get back to the Mirrial race. We're going to
great detail about that, to beay and what could happen
and Eric Adams and a whole lot more coming up
on seven to ten. Wor Well, the weather is very
bad today.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
There's a lot of power outages Connecticut, ten thousand people
without power, without internet, cable. New Jersey looks like about
ten thousand people, a few thousand in Long Island, Connecticut.
You got the worst power company that ever source, and
you got the worst cable company that Optimum. And apparently
(30:29):
people are telling me if you have Optimum, you'll get
a call or a text. You get a phone call,
it's a recording. It'll say we know that you are
without power. We were currently working on The problem is
they're getting the call like every seven minutes. People tell
me they've gotten thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, twenty calls or just
telling you they're working on it again. Optimum the worst company.
(30:56):
Columbus Day the parade is today. It's been canceled. It's
quite a shock to a lot of people. It's one
of the biggest parades in New York, the Columbus Day Parade.
It's a huge event. So to cancel it. The decision
was made very late last night, about ten eleven o'clock.
So they had to start calling everybody because there are
thousands of people and floats and trucks and all kinds
(31:18):
of it's a massive amount of people to participate in
this parade. They all had to be called told it
was canceled. You would think they could reschedule it for
another pick another day, but apparently organizers say it's not
going to be rescheduled. That's the latest word. At one
o'clock today, that's when they would have the TV coverage
of the parade. At one o'clock there will still be
(31:40):
TV coverage. There's no parade, but they're going to interview
the Grand Marshal, interview the honorees, interview the people in
the parade. They'll cut live to the Columbus Club which
puts on the parade, so you can watch today. You
can watch the ceremonies and all that stuff. But it's
a shame. I can't remember. I don't think it's ever
(32:00):
been canceled. I can remember any major parade like this canceled.
Check out my instagram you'll see the nineteen seventy nine
Columbus Day Parade, Frank Sinatra, the Grand Marshall. Hey, I
don't forget coming up at noon today, Buck Sexton and
Clay Travis. That's a very good show. You'll learn a
lot of stuff if you listen to them every day
noon to three. Then at three o'clock you got the
most listened to radio show in America. Sean Hannity got
(32:23):
Jesse Kelly at six, Jimmy Fayl a great show every
night at nine. I'm here ten to noon, or listen
to any time you want. Get the podcast. We'll be
back right after the news. Don't go away. Seven to
ten wor.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Two one eighty one eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
The most of blood warning is
Hey, it's a mess out there. We'll get to the historic,
powerful moment, President Trump speaking in the Knesset Israel this morning,
powerful speech. We'll get to that Columbus Day. The parade
is canceled. We'll explain in a moment. We'll get to
George Stephanopolos. He shocked a lot of people on the
Sunday Show yesterday, sinking to all time lows. It was
(00:21):
really dirty, awful Stephanopolis at is worst. We'll get to
Diane Keaton. We'll get to the mayoral race. We'll get
to Mom, Donnie Cuomo, Curtis. A lot has happened over
the weekend. We'll get to the mayoral race. The stock
market took a plunge on Friday because there was a
(00:43):
tariff war that suddenly shot up against China tariffs, Dow
dropping five hundred points. The MSNBC, CNN Crown, they loved it.
They was great. They got to talk about that Dow. Wait, well,
the President speaking about it this morning, reassuring people. Dal
right back up to where it was very gloomy over
there at MSNBC. Right now, Hey, the Columbus Day parade
(01:07):
is canceled. This is very, very very unusual. It has
been canceled because of the weather. It's brutal outside, the rain,
the wind, very very high winds expected today. They were
on the phone all afternoon yesterday trying to decide what
to do. The weather forecasters said, as bad as yesterday was,
(01:27):
today could be worse. Kind of it would just look
horrible having a parade in that wind, in that rain.
It would look awful, just everybody getting blown around all
over the place, and it would be dangerous. Trees fallen,
anything could happen. So they made the other final straw
was Governor Hochel declared officially declared a state of emergency
(01:51):
in New York. And then overnight they realized, you can't
if there's a state of emergency, you can't have a
parade in the middle of that state of emergency. Means
you're supposed to stay home, be up. So the parade
is canceled. Latest word from the parade organizers is that
they're not going to reschedule. I guess it's just too
(02:13):
tough to do. So there is no Columbus Day Parade
this year. However, they normally would broadcast it on TV
about one o'clock, two o'clock they're still going to do
the broadcast. What they'll do is do interviews with the
Grand Marshal, the people in the parade. There'll be a
show you can watch on TV today. The Columbus Club
over there on sixty ninth Street, they're the ones that
(02:33):
put on the parade, so they'll do a live show
from the Columbus Club. They'll interview a lot of people.
They had a big gallat dinner Saturday night. I'll get
to that in a few moments because that has a
lot to do with the mayoral race, the behavior of
the candidates there. We'll get to that coming up. So
President Trump in Israel. It was a powerful speech. It
was great. It was a very formal teleprompter speech about
(02:56):
bringing peace to the world. But it's Donald Trump, so
minutes he would go off the teleprompter and throw in
a lot of stuff, some great moments. At one point
even looked at the Israeli president said you gotta pardon Babie.
Give him a pardon. The guy deserves it. Best wartime
leader ever. Remember Netnyahu was indicted a few years ago.
(03:18):
Minor little stuff. They claim he took a gift, They
claim he gave something to a reporter in exchange for
favorable coverage. It's not big stuff, but the President actually
sang it to him in front of the world. Give
the guy a pardon. After all he's done. The hostages
have been freed, the twenty living hostages. It's believed there's
twenty seven or twenty eight dead hostages. The body should
(03:39):
be released in the next day or two. The twenty
hostages were released. This is a great moment. It's a
great deal. And the only criticisms some people have Israel
sure gave up a lot of prisoners in exchange for
this something that I don't know, like a thousand prisoners.
The ratio of hostages to prisoners didn't seem right to
a lot of people. Some of those prisoners release, about
(04:02):
one hundred of them are the worst terrorists, I mean,
really bad Hamas terrorist types. Now, the argument is that
there's about twenty five thousand Hamas terrorists out there, so
if it's twenty five thousand and one hundred, it won't
change the dynamic too much. But it's a great moment,
a great deal, historic President Trump. The broadcast the speech
(04:24):
live on all the networks this morning. Then when it
was over, you could see the smiles and everybody's faces
knowing peace is here. It's a new era. It's the
beginning of a whole new era in the Mid East.
Everything is bad. Everybody was happy unless you put on MSNBC.
Then when the speech was over, they went to those
guys they have, you know, that whole panel with the
glasses and the bow ties, and they gave you that. Well,
(04:47):
they tried to. It was tough to make it sound negative,
the whole thing, but they tried. They tried. Well, you
never know, I mean, this is we're partnering with the
Saudi in the Middle Eastern. Can't be counted on as
a partner them. So they tried to spin it negative.
It wasn't easy to do. They really struggled. The hostages
(05:07):
are back, but they're going to be in medical care
for quite some time. They were kept in dark tunnels
for two years, and doctors say, besides all the physical
medical problems they could be facing, they're gonna need a
lot of treatment. The mental health problems could be huge.
So they'll be treating those hostages for a long long time.
(05:32):
And I sorry they keep getting these there's power outages
all over the place. I keep getting these power company
calls and we're restoring your power. So I think in
Connecticut you got like ten thousand outages this morning. Trees down,
lines down all over the place. So hey, you also
(05:56):
talk about Diane Keaton, lots of talk about their amazing career,
and then we'll get to Eric Adams having a fight
with a reporter getting a little angry. I'm speaking of angry.
The Columbus Day Parade was to be today. It's been
canceled because of the weather. But what they do is
(06:18):
on the Saturday night before they have a huge galla dinner.
The committee the club that puts on the parade, and
it's a great thing. Maria Bartiromo's the MC, a lot
of famous faces. It was normally at the Wall door
for somewhere, this time at Chipriani Wall Street, which I
(06:38):
like that Chipriani forty second Street, but that Wall Street
one is quite inconvenient getting to. And you get down
there to Wall Street, it's like a maze of little
streets and half of them are closed off as a
mess down there. So anyway, but it was quite a night.
Curtis showed up in fact, check my Instagram you'll see
a picture of me and Curtis at the dinner. But
(06:59):
Curtish showed up for the cocktail hour and was mobbed,
mobbed everybody wanted a picture with Curtis. People that are
all just surrounding him, mobbing them everybody. The energy you
could see in the room for Curtis was amazing, just
mobbed the whole night by the crowd. Then Andrew Cuomo
(07:21):
showed up for the cocktail party and the dinner and
it was just the opposite. Most people just kind of
looking at him, and he looked like he was not
in a good mood, not in a good mood. He
was kind of glaring at me the whole time. I
just stayed away. And then but there were other people
in the media who he went over and confronted. It
was it got kind of ugly, fact people intervening saying, hey,
(07:43):
not the place. So I don't know what the hell
he's so angry about. But it didn't look good. So far,
it hasn't gotten a lot of coverage his behavior there,
but it might. It might start to him. He was
quite unpleasant to some people there. We'll wait and see
what comes out about that. But hey, and George Stephanopolis
(08:06):
yesterday gets Vice President Vance as the guest. Now that's
kind of a big deal for a Sunday show to
have the Vice President of the United States as your guest.
You usually treat him with the great dignity. But Stephanopolis,
of course, a left wing, totally corrupt anchor totally partisan,
totally slanted, is just badgering and banging away Advance, trying
(08:30):
to give him a hard time. And then apparently they
decided the thing they would get him on is Tom
Holman taking a fifty thousand dollars bribe. Now there's no
evidence anywhere of Tom Holman taking a fifty thousand dollars bribe.
There is an FBI they had some undercover guy recording
a conversation of Homean accepting fifty thousand. But what it
(08:51):
was was, this is not while he's in government. He
was running a private business in the private sector and
somebody hired him for fifty dollars. It's not a bribe.
This is what everybody in government does when they leave.
This is what all these guys do. You know, the
former Senate majority leader, the Speaker of the House, all
(09:12):
the top government people, cabinet. But this is what many
of them about eighty percent of them. When they leave,
they set up a business and you can hire them.
And the reason you hire them is they got a
lot of cloud in DC. They can pick up the
phone and help you get a contract, they can help
you get a law changed, they can make phone calls.
They're like lobbyists, but they got a tremendous amount of influence.
(09:35):
Happens everywhere, happens here in New York City. If you
were a big deputy mayor or some big thing in
the New York City government, when you leave, many of
these guys form a company and you hire them as
your lobbyist. They can go down the city Hall and
get you your permits, or they can get whatever you need.
So it's perfectly normal. That's what Homan did in the
years he was out of government, and it's what eighty
(09:55):
percent of the people do when they're out of government.
It's what James Comy did. They go back into the
private sete. Now sometimes you'll see whoa you know, he
went to work for a law firm. That's the reason
the law firm hired him or his government influence. If
you're in the US Attorney's office and you leave the
law firm will hire you, not because you're the greatest attorney,
but because you know everybody in the US Attorney's office.
(10:17):
You can help get a deal for the client. But
it's a silly little story. But Stephanoppolis brings it up
with the Vice president, the vice president explaining all this
to them, and Stephanoppolis won't give up, and he's just
banging away at the Vice President of the United States.
And then this is where people thought it was the
lowest moment ever in the history of Sunday morning television.
(10:38):
He said, well, I have reporting here from Pro Publica.
Now you might be saying, what the hell is Pro Publica.
It's this far left wing blog. They call themselves journalist.
It's a news organization. It's a far left wing blog.
It's the last I mean, the fact that ABC News
is quoting this far left wing blog as some sort
(11:00):
of news organization is preposterous. It's backed by a couple
of left wing billionaires who pumped tons of money into it.
But the last time you ever heard it discussed was
by Keith Oberman, Remember that crazy Keith Oberman MSNBC. That's
the kind of guy was always quoting Pro public, so
it looks so low. And at one point the Vice
(11:21):
President said, you know, George, I'm the Vice President of
United States. Here I am on television. You should be
asking me about the shutdown. You should be discussing important issues,
not going down some far left rabbit hole, which he said,
that's the reason your ratings are slipping, that's the reason
less and less people watch you all the time. Well,
Stephan Upplis got mad and just cut him off, just
(11:43):
cut him off, and said I didn't I didn't a
quire him up, and we have to go. And then
as Vance started to say something, Stephanopplis said, we'll be
right back. Just cut off the Vice president. It was
the lowest moment. Can you imagine if Tim Russett were
alive and saw this. David Brinkley created that Sunday Morning Show.
I can imagine if he came back to life and
(12:04):
saw that, it would have been just awful for him. So, hey,
Diane Keaton, didn't expect her to go. She was only
seventy nine, I mean, seemed okay, but apparently her health
declined a lot in the last few months. Diane Keaton,
of course, the godfather, Michael, why.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Did you come here.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Why what you want of me?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
After all this time you're out, You're going to be
calling writing.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I came here because I need you, because I kept
for you.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Please stop at Michaelsh.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I want you to marry men.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now in real life, the opposite happened this Godfather's what
was it seventy one, seventy two, The sequel Godfather Too,
I think was seventy four. And then after that, Al
Pacino starts dating Diane Keaton and they get very very
very serious and goes on for many years, and I
guess she wanted to get married. She finally just absolutely
(13:05):
insisted they get married. This is after many, many, many
many years of dating. Pacino did not want to get married,
did not want to commit to that, and so she
broke up with him. That was the end of it.
Pacino later said years later that was the biggest mistake
of his life. Biggest regret is that he didn't marry her.
He should have done it, he didn't do it. So
now the other one was Woody Allen. Of course, Diane
(13:29):
Keaton and Woody Allen. They first worked together on Broadway,
and there was nineteen sixty nine Woody Allen had a
big Broadway show called Play It Against Sam, based on
the movie Castle Blank, and he auditioned a woman named
Diane Keaton and thought she was phenomenally he so he
fell in love with her immediately. Couldn't believe how fast
he fell in love with her. So she starred in
the show with him. They later did Annie Hall. She
(13:51):
got the Oscar for that.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You played very well, Oh yeah, so do you. Oh god,
what a dumb thing to say, right, I mean, you say,
even right away.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I have to say, you play well?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh oh god, Annie Well?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Oh well, Lotti da Lotti da. Well. You had to
be there at the time. Boy, that was quite a movie,
what a big film. That was her fashion in that film,
trend setting it was. She won the Oscar for it.
And of course she and Woody Allen dated for a while.
I mean, anybody can go from al Pacino to Woody Allen.
(14:27):
You got to give them credit. And oh hey, take
a look at my Instagram. The last time I saw
them together, they were having dinner together. I don't know,
it was like a year or two years ago. Whenever
it was, I put I took a picture of them
having dinner together with the wife, Sunny but it's up
on my Instagram. Take a look at it. Mark Simone,
NYC at Instagram. Woody Allen wrote a quite a piece
(14:49):
about her that's out. You can read that today. So
he Mark Sanchez now says drug substance alcohol? Is that
what he's saying. He says he's in recovery and now
I'm just thank my recovery.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And I just wanted to thank the.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
First responders.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Eskenazi Hospital.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That's why you're going to first responders, thinking the police
that stopped him from killing the guy. I mean, the
guy was beaten to a pulp by Mark Sanchez. In fact,
if you see the pictures of this guy in the hospital,
it was brutal. Sanchez, I guess trying to recover his career.
I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't bet so. Anyway,
we got a lot to get to Michael Goodwin in
a few moments. The parade has been canceled. No Columbus
(15:41):
date parade. The rain will continue. It looks like it'll
ease up by tomorrow morning, and hey, we'll take some
calls next. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go
to fran massive peak fan. How you doing.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
What's up, buddy? Always a pleasure, Thanks for the time.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And what's the weather like out there? How's the wind,
the rain, any damage?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It's miserable. And the scary thing is the win with
the trees. A lot of big trees in Long Island
where I live, and that's my biggest thing. I hate
those big trees.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's a good thing about in the middle of Manhattan.
We don't have to worry about any trees. Everything.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's just buildings. But anyway, listen, love the show. And
what a day for Trumpers, for the Jews, and what
a day just for Trump. If you think about the
Trump family, think about what they went through the first presidency.
The boy is absolutely ambushed by everybody. People thrown in jail, felonies,
(16:42):
They went after his businesses, they lied every which way
and any and.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
He survived it.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
That any runs again and they steal the second election
from him.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
They go after him.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
They really want to put him in jail and everything.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
We know, the whole history. This is there a question, right,
but you think about we've thought about it quite a bit.
It's a it's an amazing story. The historians may have
to actually tell the truth and write what really happened
is it's fascinating. Let's go to Anthony and Staten Island. Anthony,
how you doing, Mark.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
As listen from Brooklyn would say, I'm good. Hello.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
More.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
My point is how many Guardian angels does Curtis will
you lead and manage?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well? The numbers change through the years. I mean it's
been up to like ten thousand, at one point one thousand,
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Okay, so you do though. It's five thousand, one hundred
and thirty cities in fourteen different countries. And why to
me that's very important.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah. Now people will say, hey, I don't see any Guardian. Well,
you only see them where they're needed. They're in the
high crime areas, they're in the they're in cities all
over the world that have serious problems. But if you're
you know, right outside there in fifty fifth and six,
it's not a high crime area, you won't see them there,
which is the idea. You want to see him where
they're needed. Let's go to Joseph in New York City, Joseph,
(18:04):
how you doing.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Mark had the Columbus Day to everyone. Mark isn't Jeff
Bezels concern that his Amazon Food grocery stores were taken
over by that cop.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
No, Actually, he bought Whole Foods a few years ago.
Deep down he doesn't. I don't think he really wants
to have these whole food supermarkets. If you'll notice, it
was very very high quality whole Foods everything in there.
After he bought it, they kind of brought the quality down,
still very good, but they brought the quality down and
they're making the stores a little smaller. The reason he
(18:40):
bought them is their distribution centers. He looked at the
they charted where all the Whole Foods are, and they
are exactly where they needed warehouse space, distribution centers. That's
one reason they bought them. And they're taking a lot
of those Whole food stores were enormous, so they're cutting
them in half and then back half is a distribution center.
(19:01):
A warehouse basis is very smart that way he plots.
When it looks like this is what he's doing, that's
not what he's doing. It's a scheme to set him
up for the next thing, Like Originally when he formed Amazon,
it was just to sell books. It was a place
you could go to buy books online. Well that's what
we all thought, and that's what he said. It turns
(19:22):
out that wasn't what it was all about. He knew
way back then what he was going to do, and
the reason he started us this little book thing was
so he could chart out, map out distribution, how to distribute,
set up the distribution network. Books were the easiest thing
to do it with to start, but he was plotting
to eventually be the place where you buy everything. But
(19:43):
he used books to figure out the logistics and get
that all set. Then he went to everything else. Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Good morning, Malcome okay, Mac. I'm Israeli hostages of being
released and it's really his of the Trump administration and
jarvied Kush day and VANNX says, but it's a bad deal.
What do they release it?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Something's going on? Call us back. Your phone is going crazy.
I think it's our phone. Actually, uh, that's not. Vincent's
what happens. We don't have actual phones anymore, believe it
or not. This place is so high tech it's not
even a phone. It's all digital. It's on an Amazon cloud.
And what happens, It was cutting out. But you'll also
hear that sometimes you'll speed up the voice and the
(20:32):
noodle's low dome little voice. And we don't want Vincent
to sound like that. It's not your fault, it's our phones.
But let's go to Walt and Yonkers. Walt, how you doing, hey, Mark.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I had a fight with the librarian yesterday. I'm leaving
the place and I tell her, Happy Columbus Day. She
to me, happy Indigenous people Day. I say to her,
you mean, like stand Wattie the Cherokee slave owner who
is a general in the Confederates.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I mean, now, I keep telling you, don't fight with
these livers. They don't want to hear it. Don't fight
with them. Let them live in their bubble. Don't fight
with them. What's the point. You're not going to convert them.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Always got to fight, always go to fight.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
No, no, pick your battles, don't don't waste your breath
on them. They hate Listen, they hate Columbus. Why do
they hate Columbus. It's not really even Columbus. They just
hate America. They're the guy that founded and found America.
They just don't like. They may love their country, but
they don't like their country. They don't like Fourth of July,
they don't like hot dogs, they don't like barbecue. They
(21:31):
just don't like this stuff. And they don't like Columbus.
That's the reason for this. Now, what you should do?
You know, Columbus, I mean, think of you. He was
actually the first illegal alien. They claim to love illegals,
they should love Columbus. He should be the symbol of
illegal aliens. He was the first one here. Hey, when
we come back, Michael Goodwin, we'll talk to him next.
(21:51):
What a column he wrote yesterday. We'll talk about Israel,
the peace and all that coming up next on seven
to ten. W o R. Let's get the latest news thing.
President Trump in a historic speech in Israel this morning.
Michael Goodman wrote a powerful column yesterday about peace in
the Middle East. And he's the best columnist in America
and he's with us right now. Michael Goodwin, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Good morning, Mark? I think everyone is doing pretty good
this morning.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Huh, yeah, what do you? I assume you saw the speech?
Pretty powerful, wasn't it?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Oh? Extraordinary? Yeah? I mean Trump at his trumpiest, right,
I mean, it's just, you know, he's a remarkable figure
on the world stage, and you know, you can you
can hate him if you want, but what he has
achieved here, I believe, is nothing short of remarkable.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Well, now, everybody was so thrilled, unless you turned over
to MSNBC. The glasses were fogging up, the bow ties
were crooked. The boat was thinking, uh well, but they
were trying to spin it. They said, you know, are
all these partners we have, these Middle Eastern countries, Saudi,
the those type of partners. You can't count on them.
And who trusts some us to hold up any end
(23:05):
of an agreement? What do you think?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
I guess there's got to be a little rain on
every parade. Yeah, but look, Mark, this is a remarkable day.
And I think the President, among the many other things
that he said that made perfect sense today by focusing
on the Iranian attack which the United States carried out
(23:31):
with Israel. The effects of that, and I think probably
the fall of the Iranian regime sooner rather than later,
is that it creates a whole new dynamic in the
region and frankly in the world. But you think back
to hesbalah Right, where did they get their money in
(23:53):
arms from a moss?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Of course, big, big part of this.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Iranian terror regime, the hooties Syria. I mean, it's it's all,
it's all coming undone before our eyes. But only because
of two things. Israel's resolve and because of Donald Trump's
vision that we could change this dynamic. And he has
(24:20):
done it.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, we didn't realize at the time. We just thought
it was take out the nuclear stuff, and that was that.
We didn't realize the chess move that he was playing there.
Take out these terrorist groups financing, take out their muscle,
and you've weakened Hesbala, hoodies, everybody all at once.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
So but what you say, and and.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
I think that within the kind of the terrorist world,
Iran has been diminished and embarrassed and humiliated. It turned
out to have been effeckless at the at the most
important moment, and it could not you know it, Its
air defenses were shredded. It had no defense for an
(25:01):
attack on its home land. I mean, that's the ultimate
failure of any regime, in any kind of government.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, uh, yeah. Trump has shown a lot of things.
Who's not as tough as we think even if you
look at Ukraine, we always started the Russian military as
a superpower, but they're struggling now for years to try
to get anywhere with this ragtag Ukrainian army. So do
you think maybe it's the same with China, that maybe
they're not the biggest, the powerful military that we think
(25:29):
they are.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, those are two very good points and if and
the President is clearly focused on both of them. So
if he can pull off something similar in each of
those situations, I mean, talk about your Pax Americana, I mean,
that would be a remarkable event. I mean, but already
(25:52):
what he has done in the Mid East is I think,
not just unprecedented, but even unthinkable, right that no one
thought this kind of thing was even possible before Donald
Trump got involved, and before I mean look, Nettayahu, of
course is a highly controversial and even unpopular person within Israel,
(26:16):
but I think their partnership has stood the test of
time and achieved great things, not only for Israel but
for the world by by cooling the hot temperatures of
Iran especially and all of the offshoots who were taking
(26:37):
Iranian money. That that well has dried up thanks to
the American sanctions and thanks to President Trump's attack, I
think it has it has changed the dynamic completely.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, hey, before we run out of time, let's just
get to the mayor ole race. I noticed Mam Donni,
who's a very articulate guy, a very sharp debater, in
the last week, every time he's asked a tough question,
he goes into that word salad, not a bumbling Kamala
Harris word salad, but a skilled one. But yet the
word slid. The fact that he's being vague, not answering.
(27:12):
What does that tell us about his campaign?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Well, look, I think he's a very shallow man. I
mean he's not He hasn't done anything in the real world,
right except get himself in this position. I mean people
like him are a dime for two dozen in Albany, right,
the kind of shallow, inexperienced, you know, good at getting
(27:37):
in elected, nothing else. And I think one of the
things that's probably happened to him is he's feeling exposed
at this point. His ideas are bad ideas, they're not popular.
Anybody with any sense would tell him, you know, all
this free stuff is a disaster in the making. You
will destroy the city if you try to rein in
(28:00):
the police, if you hate the police, if you tell
them not to make arrests or prostitution for misdemeanors, for
all of these kinds of things, you'll have no police department.
Nobody will want to be a police officer. And I
think he's already running up against problems. And of course
there's the budget issue. If he were to do what
(28:21):
he's going to do, where will he get the money,
What's going to happen to the school system, what's going
to happen to safety, to how who's going to invest
in New York City? If it looks like the socialist
government is just going to confiscate everything. So I think
he's I think the longer this campaign goes on, the
worse he looks.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, now you got the debate coming up this week.
It'll be Thursday night. Culmos not a great debater, Mom
Donnie's pretty good. Curtis is great. Could this change the race?
Let's say Curtis land some knockout punches.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
That's the potential. I think that the the most likely
potential is that Mom Donnie will be exposed as a
lightweight or as a goofy goofy inexperience know nothing lightweight. Now,
(29:15):
whoever does that, if it's Sliwa or if it's Cuomo,
will be the big beneficiary. Whoever can draw the stronger
contrast between themselves and Mam Donnie, I think, will be
the big beneficiary. But you're right, Mark that this could
this debate could be pivotal because early voting starts pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, let's hope so. Well, everybody read Michael Goodwin's column yesterday.
It's New York Post. It's all his columns are up
on the New York Post website. You can go read
them all. It's every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New
York Post. Great stuff, Michael Goodwin, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Oh, it's a pleasure.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Take care. We've got a lot to get to. Hey,
we'll get back to the Mirrial race. We're going to
great detail about that, to beay and what could happen
and Eric Adams and a whole lot more coming up
on seven to ten. Wor Well, the weather is very
bad today.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
There's a lot of power outages Connecticut, ten thousand people
without power, without internet, cable. New Jersey looks like about
ten thousand people, a few thousand in Long Island, Connecticut.
You got the worst power company that ever source, and
you got the worst cable company that Optimum. And apparently
(30:29):
people are telling me if you have Optimum, you'll get
a call or a text. You get a phone call,
it's a recording. It'll say we know that you are
without power. We were currently working on The problem is
they're getting the call like every seven minutes. People tell
me they've gotten thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, twenty calls or just
telling you they're working on it again. Optimum the worst company.
(30:56):
Columbus Day the parade is today. It's been canceled. It's
quite a shock to a lot of people. It's one
of the biggest parades in New York, the Columbus Day Parade.
It's a huge event. So to cancel it. The decision
was made very late last night, about ten eleven o'clock.
So they had to start calling everybody because there are
thousands of people and floats and trucks and all kinds
(31:18):
of it's a massive amount of people to participate in
this parade. They all had to be called told it
was canceled. You would think they could reschedule it for
another pick another day, but apparently organizers say it's not
going to be rescheduled. That's the latest word. At one
o'clock today, that's when they would have the TV coverage
of the parade. At one o'clock there will still be
(31:40):
TV coverage. There's no parade, but they're going to interview
the Grand Marshal, interview the honorees, interview the people in
the parade. They'll cut live to the Columbus Club which
puts on the parade, so you can watch today. You
can watch the ceremonies and all that stuff. But it's
a shame. I can't remember. I don't think it's ever
(32:00):
been canceled. I can remember any major parade like this canceled.
Check out my instagram you'll see the nineteen seventy nine
Columbus Day Parade, Frank Sinatra, the Grand Marshall. Hey, I
don't forget coming up at noon today, Buck Sexton and
Clay Travis. That's a very good show. You'll learn a
lot of stuff if you listen to them every day
noon to three. Then at three o'clock you got the
most listened to radio show in America. Sean Hannity got
(32:23):
Jesse Kelly at six, Jimmy Fayl a great show every
night at nine. I'm here ten to noon, or listen
to any time you want. Get the podcast. We'll be
back right after the news. Don't go away. Seven to
ten wor.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Two one eighty one eighty nine.
