Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mark Simone Show on seven tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, it's very strange. You know, it's cold out, Hockey
seasons started. Football games are on Thursday night and Monday night.
It's just very strange. It's really autumn. I can feel
it now. And I look every time you go in
the store, first display, you see Halloween candy everywhere. It's
only a matter of time. It's gonna happen. Very soon.
You're gonna walk into a store and there'll be some
(00:27):
Christmas display there. It's in fact, I just I just
a friend of mine just texting me from Paris. They're
putting up Christmas lights on the shows that he say
right now as we speak, Walmart is doing it already.
But that's okay, that's okay. The faster this happens, the
quicker we get to spring. So Columbus Day is Monday.
(00:49):
This is a holiday that was really on the outs
for a while, but not now. President Trump putting out
a proclamation about Columbus Day is going to make it
a very big deal. Columbus Day Parade will be here
in New York on Monday. So just remember that snarling
up traffic all over Midtown on Monday. Let's get to
the mayoral race. New polling shows that with Eric Adams
(01:11):
dropping out of the race, Cuomo picks up a few votes,
about eighty percent more than I thought. About eighty percent
of the Adams vote has gone to Cuomo. About twenty
percent went to Mom Donnie. Now, these poles aren't that accurate.
These are these dopey college polls. But it shows Cuomo
picking up a little, but not enough to really come
(01:31):
close to Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie still has a big lead.
Curtis picked up a little. The matching funds were handed
out and matching funds yesterday. Cuomo got almost two million
in matching funds. That's from the campaign finance board. Curtis
got a million four in matching funds. Mom Donnie got
(01:54):
I think a million two in matching funds. Now Curtis
has been spending money. I'll give them credit. Those ads
are all over the place. If you're watching the Yankee
playoff game, Curtis ran ads in the game. If you're
watching Good Day in New York this morning, there were
ads for Curtis TV ads. Mo'm Donnie not doing much advertising,
But if he does, it's not TV, it's social media.
(02:16):
That's the most important battleground right now. Cuomo doing a
lot of interviews and if you listen to him in
these interviews, the problem is he's awful in debates. He's
a terrible debater. He's slow, and he talks like this.
So I'm listening to some of these. He's done some
long interviews podcasts, radio shows, and if you listen to them,
(02:41):
you ask the guy a question and then he takes
a long time to answer and it's like a five
minute answer. He's great on a podcast podcast, you got
to fill an hour. This guy's perfect. Ask him anything.
He talks for eight minutes with a talks slow, runs
down the clock. But you can't do that in a debate.
(03:03):
And you gotta be like Mam Donnie. In a debate,
you gotta be rapid fire, like boom boom boom. You
hit the guy with stuff and then they go to
Cuomo for a response and he goes, mister, mom, Donnie
may think that uh, And already the audience says, so
he's not good in the debate. Curtis is a great debater.
Now the big development this is where the race will
(03:24):
be decided Thursday night. The first mayor Old debate. There'll
be another one six days later. But Thursday night, the
first mayor old debate. This is coming Thursday night. It'll
be Mam. Donnie'll be he's good. Into the debate, he's
very good. Curtis will be very good. Curtis could hit
him with a knockout punch. You never know. Anything's possible.
(03:45):
He may not, but anything's possible. Cuomo will talk slow
and it won't work, and it'll look old and tired
compared to these two. And so if Curtis can land
some blows and really make difference, that could turn the
race around. Now it's possible that Curtis is very good,
but nothing changes. And then now New York is famous.
(04:09):
New York City is famous for in its mayoral races,
the whole thing can change in the last couple of weeks.
We've seen that before many times in New York City,
where whatever race way, the race is headed, in the
last couple of weeks, it just all changes. It can
all change very fast in New York City. I don't
know exactly why, but here is where that does happen.
So it could be the debate shakes everything up and
(04:32):
things change. It could be that nothing changes, and then
you're on track to have a Mamdani victory. Cuomo, we
know is not the one guy that can't beat Mamdani
is Cuomo. We've seen it in the primary. He got
just slapped around by him in two debates. He lost
by a lot of votes in the primary. So Thursday night,
(04:53):
if anything's going to change, that's where it'll change. Now.
Mamdani's been doing a lot of interviews, and the other
thing is Mam Donnie's been sort of hedging. He normally
was given clear answers, but Buck Sexton texting, we love Buck.
Your Cuomo is excellent, Thank you very much. You know,
(05:17):
I'm listening to these radio interviews. And here's the other thing.
You know, you're dealing with a weasel. When they talk,
they ask themselves questions and answer like, what about the
nursing homes? Did you get kill ten thousand people? A
lot of people ask me about the nursing homes? Look,
(05:37):
do I think I made a mistake? Maybe do I
think I might have done things differently? Maybe he's been
saying that a lot lately. First, he tried this explanation
about the nursing homes. It's the dumbest decision ever in
the history of decisions. Can you imagine people have got
the virus they just tested positive, you send them into
(05:59):
the nursing homes where these old, vulnerable people are living.
It was the dumbest thing ever. So he's tried for
the last week this explanation of well, other states did
it to it, We're not the only plenty of states
did it. Yeah, but it wasn't the same and it
wasn't like this here. I mean, this was a he
(06:20):
killed ten thousand people. The decision was genocidal. So he's
now doing this. I wouldn't call it an apology. Look,
did I make a mistake? Would I do it differently? Maybe? Yes.
And he's doing this fudging thing where he says, look,
I still have nightmares at night. I can remember all
(06:42):
my conversations with those families. He says that a lot now,
in all my conversations with these families, I'd like to
find somebody. Please find one family that he had he had.
There's no family that says they've ever had a conversation
with Cuomo. He's changed his tune on bailro form. Hey,
(07:02):
our friend Sid interviewed him this morning and Sid at
one point, good for sid. He brought up Kathy Hokel.
You know, Kathy Holk has been a horrible governor, and
he said, she's terrible. You picked her. You're the one
that gave us Kathy Hulkel, you know, the lieutenant governor.
You picked her. And Cuomo said, yeah, you re elected her.
(07:25):
So that's a good comeback, very snappy comeback. First time
its history was made. Clomo actually had a snappy comeback.
But he's going to get hit with all this stuff
and Curtis will pound away on him. So if anything's
going to change, it'll change Thursday. Oh now here's another
factor with this peace agreement in the Middle East. This
affects the mayoral race. It's going to affect a few
(07:46):
elections around the country. A lot of these races are
all about how horrible israel Is and Gaza people are
starving being slought. Well, now that that's over, this kind
of takes that issue off the table, and it was
a big one from Amdani. So he's going to lose
this issue. In fact, if he tries this again, the
suffering and the Palestinians, the suffering in Gaza, if he
(08:10):
tries pulling that you can point out, well, then thank Trump,
he's the one that solved the problem. He's bringing that
problem to a complete conclusion. And there's a lot of
governor's races where that's a big issue, you know, Israel Palestine.
So it's a tough thing, this peace agreement, because it's brilliant,
it's wonderful, it's an amazing negotiation, amazing accomplishment by Trump.
(08:31):
It's tough for the Democrats because they have to actually
try to say something nice. Chuck Schumer White, I mean,
he was so his glasses were fogging up, but he
had to say something.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
If disagreement is implemented, then finally, after two years of
immense suffering, the hostages could soon be free. There could
be a ceasefire, and the victims of this painful conflict
can start to rebuild their lives.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, now they're waiting to see exactly how this unfolds.
Does it actually work? So this weekend they can't really
go after the present because we don't know. We've got
to see will this really work? Will it be done?
So let's say it everything goes well. On the weekend,
Trump goes to Egypt, they make the deal. Everything signed Monday,
they released the hostages Tuesday. There's a big ceremony for
(09:19):
the hostage. This will be great. Then it's after that
the media has to try to figure out how to
attack Trump on this. They will find a way. How
will they attack them? I don't know. Well, maybe listen
to the Schumer thing again.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
If this agreement is implemented, then finally after two years.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So maybe that'll be the attack line. If he could
do this, why didn't he do this two years ago?
Why did he wait two years to do this? They'll
try something like that. They'll try a few things to
see what sticks. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel's done a bunch of interviews. Kimmel,
he was on Bloomberg. So when it comes to the
big lie, he told that's how he got in all
the trouble. He lied about the Charlie kirkshooter, claiming it
(09:58):
was a maga guy. Total distortion, total fake news. He
can't admit that though he's on this Bloomberg interview and
he said, well, it was mischaracterized. I was distorted what
I said. Now we can see the clip. He out
and out lied. He deliberately lied on the show. But
he's mischaracterized a store, So he just won't give in
(10:20):
on this.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
The other thing is he said he would love to
have Donald Trump on his show, So he basically invited
Trump to come on his show. Now you might say, well,
that's great, he should do that. Trump would be great.
He can handle Kimmel. This would be he should definitely
do well.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
He said.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The problem is, why would Kimmel do this, because in
all the controversy when he came back on the air,
he got six point five million viewers, not as usual
one million. He got six and a half million. He
was suddenly number one, He suddenly had great ratings. Well
it took a few days, but it quickly went back
to one million. He lost the whole bounce that he got.
(10:55):
He lost it all and went back to his miserable ratings.
So that's why he wants to have Trump on because
then he could go to twenty million or what's the
all time record late night television. I think it was
Johnny Carson tiny Tim's wedding nineteen sixty nine that went
to forty nine million. That's the all time record for
(11:16):
a late night show. He thinks he could do that
with Trump. So if Trump, you know, he'd want to
do it, but he wouldn't. Why help Kimmel, Why help Kimmel.
So he should say to him, I'll do an interview
with you, but let's do it on the Sean Hannity Show.
Let's do it on. Let's do it on Fallon, give
(11:39):
fallon the ratings. But we'll see if anything comes to
that invitation. Hey, a lot of people in the Senate
are going to be suing Jack Smith, that bug eyed
weirdo with the cape. You know, he got their phone records,
their phone calls. But turning out, he got a lot
of stuff. He went into everybody's phone, got their GPS.
He can see everywhere they went, everywhere they went. You know,
(12:05):
I'll see you go into your iPhone. There's a lot
of stuff in there. There's got medical records, most people
have their medications. There's all kinds of personal information in there.
So they're gonna sue this guy like crazy. He's speaking
of medical You know a lot of people love taking ozempic.
There's three of them. There's a what's the other one,
Manjaro's Zeppa. There's like a bunch of these. The problem
(12:26):
with is ozambic. You get what's called ozempic face. It
starts looking old. Your face looks old, and it starts sagging.
It you get they call it ozembic face. Now that
disappointing out. You'll get ozembic teeth. It plays around with
your the healthier teeth and your gums. Now apparently there's
another discovery they've just come up with. Uh, if you're
on ozampic and then you need medical imaging, you know,
(12:49):
a cat scan, an MRI, it can distort the results
and give you false results and you can get misdiagnosed.
With a long explanation as to why. Too complicated. But
that's another problem to those MPigs. Hey, oh hey, a
great a great guy died yesterday, Shelley Fireman. He was
one of the great restaurant tours in New York. He
(13:11):
was ninety three. Right over there he tried to read
del Arte. That was one of his restaurants, Red Eye, Grill, Fiorilla,
right across from Lincoln Center. Through the years, Bond forty
five in the theater disc This guy was a great
restaurant owner, a very colorful guy in real life. And
I'm leaving that there's a bunch of restaurants he owned
(13:32):
ninety three just died yesterday, but I saw him not
long ago. He was in the restaurant holding a meeting,
working at ninety three, in fact, fifty seventh three. He
just opened this new restaurant, the Paris Bistro, Paris Bar,
whatever it's called. But he's ninety two opening a brand
new restaurant. That's the way you gotta be, Cape working,
never stop. Hey, when we come back, we'll take some calls.
(13:54):
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
the number. Eight hundred two one zero seven ten. If
you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
App, save time and tap the preset button.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Now back to the Mark Simode show on woor.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Dave
in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
I'm doing very well. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Mark.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
I have a proposition that I think would be best
suited for Allen's y Bell in your next interview, and
it has to do with writing scripts for television. Now,
the major networks ABC, NBC, CBS, et cetera, they restrict
time and scripts because they have to allow for commercials, yes,
animals such as HBO. You know, they run shows like this.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, it's the proposal.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Well, they vary in length and they can include profanity
and nudities. So essentially, for writers, is the easier to write.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That's a good question. Yeah, we'll ask him that next time.
You know, in the old days of the fifties, I
love Lucy the Honeymooners, when you wrote the script for
the sitcom, it was about I think it was twenty
four minutes because they had to leave six minutes for
commercials during the half hour. Do you know that by
the Seinfeld days it was down to like sixteen minutes
(15:14):
because they kept adding and adding commercials, So a sitcom
script was really only about sixteen seventeen minutes. Now it's
kind of different because television is dying. There's very few
viewers left on television primetime, even primetime, so it's less commercials,
so the scripts are probably getting longer. Now, let's go
to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Thanks thanks to Mark. That's a good point he just
brought up to a fellow from Chicago. I mean, just
think about how they wrote four complete stories for four
characters in fifteen or sixteen minutes. Really was unbelievable. You know,
I got a lot of joy you say, watching Martha
raditsh that old hag. Have to actually give Donald credit,
some Donald Trump some credit, and it's gone by the
time he's done. He's going to deserve that last space
(15:57):
of Mount Rushmore. Never mind a Nobel Peace Prize. Put
him on the mount. That's president we ever had.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
All right knowing him. Apparently you can't put somebody on
Mount Rushmore. They keep explaining to you. Who knows, Maybe
it's just partisan nonsense, that the the rock. You can't,
you can't carve anything. Knowing Trump, He'll start a second
Mount Rushmore somewhere else. He'll do a second Mount Rushmore.
(16:24):
He'll put Reagan, he'll put himself. Actually a good idea,
Actually a good idea second Mount Rushmore. Let's go to
Pat in Westchester. Pat, How you doing, hey, Mark?
Speaker 7 (16:35):
You have terrific guests on you have each week, Liz Peak,
Miranda Divine. The one thing that you were talking about
Trump derangement syndrome. And I think some of it could
be jealousy if you look at that. He has a
beautiful wife, He's amassed billions of dollars in wealth and
He's a national icon and you know, a world icon.
(16:58):
So it could be an a jealousy.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, I don't think it's jealous so much because you
look at these Trump haters. There are all these old
hag women that live on the Upper West Side. They
don't want to be in a glitzy Trump Tower apartment.
They don't want to be married to a supermodel. They're
I think Miranda divine. If you didn't hear last hour,
it was fascinating. Will follow up on this. She's been
talking to a psychiatrist like doctor Keith Ablow.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
And.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It's daddy issues. It's a super strong, forceful, dominant male
that they can't stand. And if you look back on presidents,
first of all, you have to put on this fake formality,
and Paul you can't just you know, be an outrageous
kind of guy like Trump is. You can't in real life.
(17:44):
That's where it comes. But could she might have put
her finger on it. You know, every great politician, no
matter how strong, and they are great presidents, Bill Clinton,
they show a lot of vulnerability and the humbleness. And
George could look very vulnerable at times and humble. And Obama, yeah,
(18:06):
he could look humble at times and show some vulnerability
and self deprecating and all that. But they all could
do that, but not Trump. There's no vulnerability anywhere. So
it's like the roughest, toughest, strongest, most masculine dominating. It
just sets off those women. They can't deal with it.
Let's go to Alan Yonkers. Al, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Good?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Thanks for taking my call. You know, I just wanted
your personal opinion. You know, I saw Mike Lawler when
he stopped the minority leader Jeffreys, and not that it
was a political stunt. I just thought it was inappropriate
because of security reasons. As you know, the minority leader
being in the leadership has Secret Service protection, and I
(18:53):
just started to put the Secret Service in uncomfortable positions.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Yeah, would you agree, or.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
There's no security problem they can protect. But what it
was is, you know how always tell you don't argue
with Democrats. If you got a friend who hates don't
argue because it'll be like that Lawler Jeffrey's conversation. You're
just yelling at each other for twenty minutes. You're not
going to change their mind. Don't even bother. It's like
arguing with a statue. I mean, don't bother, don't argue
(19:18):
with him. So when they say to hey, it happens
to me all the time. I was with this group
of entertainment business people and one of them says, this
is the worst nightmare we've ever lived through this trump.
I can't sleep at night. And it looked at me
and go, yeah, me too, me too, Just yes, I'm
to death. Change the subject, get out of there, don't
(19:39):
even try to argue with them, whatever they think. Just
let it go. Hey, today would have been John Lennon's
eighty fifth birthday. It would have been eighty five today.
You know, it's interesting some people you just never saw
them get old. A lot of them. You see. You
know Billy Joel, you see him now. You wouldn't if
(20:01):
you came in a time machine from nineteen seventy eight
to now, you wouldn't recognize Billy Joe's. It's totally different looking.
McCartney obviously looks his age, well not really, but he
looks older, but he still looks like McCartney, still sounds
like McCartney. But if you die young, people never see
you age. It's like Jack Kennedy, John F. Kennedy. We
(20:22):
always see him as young, dynamic president. We never saw
him get like Ted Kennedy, old and plump and boom.
So John Lennon would have been eighty five years old today. Hey,
when we come back, Ed Rollins will be with us.
The greatest political analyst, the Dean himself, will talk to
him next on seven to ten WR, Mark.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Simone on seventen WR.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well, let's talk to the Dean himself, the best political
analyst of all. Nobody has run more campaigns, more successful
campaigns than he has. Ed Rollins is with us, Ed,
how you doing doing well?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Thank you? Monarch tivy going on in the world.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
So this piece deal, if all goes according to plan
and it happens, what will the Democrats do, how will
they attack him on this?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Well, I won't be able attack on this. They basically
have to plaud and I think the world is starting
to applaud completely. Ship. This will not happen if he
had to stepped in and pushed BB to the to
the wall. And I think it's a certain extent you
read that argue about the stupidity of who got the
Nobel Peace Prize. Today, If this thing works, he's going
(21:33):
to be the one of unanimously a year from now.
The Peace Price dominees are supposed to be in by February.
He was barely president at the time, and I think
this certain extent, don't let the ediocy of the Peace
Price overshadow what he's done. He's made this happen. He's
about these forces have been fighting. He said this for
(21:53):
thousands of years together, and he asked to make it
work now.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So yeah, now, I know he's got a lot to do,
but I think he should also take up another task,
which is just wipe out this reputation of this Nobel
Peace Prize. It's a Democrat peace prize. It's a left
wing slanted I don't know how they still have this reputation,
but Donald Trump should try to take away that reputation
from don't you think, well, I think he.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
I think he probably will. I mean, who cares. Being
perfectly honest, Yeah, you know, Jimmy Carter got it after
he was president, ten years after he left. Obama got
it before he was president. You got it, You got
the Peace Ward, and everybody said it was just because
he got left it. Uh, you know, three months into
his administration. So the last American who really got it deserved.
(22:36):
It was Jeddy Roosevelt. Trump did stopped the war.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, hey, yeah, the New Jersey race, it's Chitdarelli against
what's her named, Mickey sch Mikey Sheryl. They got in
a big fight and the she accused him of this
and that he's now says he's gonna sue her. Have
you ever heard of that one candidate suing another because
of what they said in the debate?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
And you know the problem with suits is that people
find out, you know, once you get beyond the rhetoric
of the initial case, then you have to discovery and
all the rest of it. Then you know, her counter
claim is going to be, how did he get her
federal documents that he shouldn't have had, so, you know,
argue about the things that matter people in New Jersey
and where she graduated in her class or but there's
(23:22):
circumstances work. She's a member of Congress. She's got a
lot of the ideas that probably won't work, and he's
got a lot of ideas that are going to be challenged.
And that's what the campaign had to be about. Though.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Hey, a lot of these campaigns around the mayoral race
with Montoni and some of these governors race. A big
issue is Gaza, the treatment of the people in Gaza,
Palestine's if this peace deal goes through, They're going to
lose that issue for the final weeks, aren't they.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
They are going to lose that issue, and hopefully there's
a lot of other issues that come to the forefront.
There's a lot a lot of plays right now in
the course system in Portland, the Chicago they putting troops around,
and the super Court obviously back on the game again.
So you know what you want no want to do
is you don't want to have these things falter on you,
and make sure that everything you're doing is in coordination.
(24:10):
And as you heard me over and over again, I'm
a great believer in messages, and if you have too
many things on the turny just can sort of lay
your message down right now. But getting the government back
functioning again is what's the most important. The president can
stop that or start that. But if you start having
(24:31):
trouble with planes, you start having trouble with soldiers not
getting paid, then you really have a big issue.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeh, Hey, the mayoral race, the big debate is coming
up Thursday. Now, let's say Curtis just hits mom down
and would knockout blows unbelievable moments that go viral? Could
that change the race?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Anybody watches it?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Well, it's social media. It could go viral all over
the place.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's possible it will go it will go that. But
no already watched these debates anymore. I mean, it's just
the number of the numbers in New Jersey debates this
week and Virginia Curtlow and but social media does play
mid brolly, and Curtis has tomate the case. You know,
he's serving the factor at this point. I keep Cuomo
(25:15):
from being a look candidate. Clomo got all all of Adams,
but he has to He's still thirteen fourteen points a hime,
which is a pretty good place to be, and and
the other problems Rondi's getting. You take people underd and fifty,
you've got to majority that vote. He's got a majority
of the Asian voters, Black voters, which normally almost strong suits.
(25:38):
So my senses, he's still I'd much rather have his
campaign if I was in the campaign. I don't want to
run a socialist campaign. But but he's still pretty well positioned.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, Hey, now you've been the best erratic.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Something dramatic has to happen.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You've been the best campaign consultant for years if you
were working for Cuomo. When you say, I don't know
how you say it, but when you say to them, hey,
you got to talk a little faster. You got to
be able to have a little more energy. Tired would
could you tell him that.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I've been terribly disappointed in the campaign. As I told you,
I'm not a Cuomo fan, but I'm just as an
observer at this point in time. I've seen one ad,
I've seen dozens of ads sort of mundabih and you know,
I don't see any ground game, as though there was
no Democratic Party operators that are going order for him
(26:23):
at this point, CMO And to a certain extent, how
do you win? You win by being out there and
being dramatic. And I'll say, you know, he's he's my
father did, he's what I did and more. But that's
not acceptable today. It's got a fifty two percent of
Google reading. It's got to do something I lived down
and he's got to do something that very is the
(26:44):
you know, and I think he's the only woman obviously
is liliable at this point in time.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, Hey, we were talking before Miranda divine and she's
been talking to psychologists. This Trump hatred, the people that
hate Trump. It's like a raging so psychiatrist said, it's
it's like a daddy issue. It's like he's too tough,
he's too masculine, he's too he shows no vulnerability anywhere. Ever,
it's too much. What do you think.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I think there's some truth that, I mean there is,
there is a polarization, and it doesn't matter what he does.
He doesn't get any of those years back. And he's done.
He's been a very strong president. He's done a lot
and if you look at it, just premier him a
progress in six seven months, He's made tremendous progress. He's
(27:32):
definitely defined redefine the president's rule. I mean, he's elvist
president for in history. Yeah, and people even credit.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
For him well Ed rollins. Uh. But you know every present,
even Nixon would show vulnerability. He would also you'd see
him bowling, you see him with the kids. He was
like an all American father. Trump does none of that.
Do you think he should do that try to look
more humble normal?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I think hell he would be a great asset for
him to a certain extent. He's too angry. He is
too many, too many enemies that he wants to take out.
At this point in time, they have to just be
do it quietly, do it scenes, and just get out
there and talk about what I've done for the country
when I'm wanting to continue to do for the country,
and what i want to do with the world. I mean,
(28:17):
it's the strongest wading in a world war today. Yeah,
is just distractions. Go I think the settle all.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right, Well you tell him. I'm not going to tell him,
but Ed Rollins great talking to you, great stuff. Keep
up with the good work. T thanks for being with
this week. Take care, h Hey. Coming up at twelve
noon Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. They do an excellent show
every day. It's from noon to three then three o'clock.
(28:47):
He got the most listened to radio show in America.
Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly's on every night at six and
now Jimmy Fallon every night nine to midnight. Excellent show,
very funny. You love Jimmy Fayla. They say Fallon, Jimmy Fayla,
Jimmy Fallon wouldn't be so hot. But it's Jimmy Fayla,
who's much funnier than Jimmy Fallon. Great comedian, great talk
(29:10):
show hosts. But it's every weeknight. You can hear it
tonight nine to midnight right here on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Mister New York Marcellone on WR, Well, Hey, you know
we're talking about the New Jersey governor's race, Chitarelli versus
Mikey Cheryl.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
You know they've spent seventy two million dollars already on
this governor's race. Seventy two million. I think that's an
all time record for New Jersey governor's race. So, hey,
you're talking before about Jimmy Kimmel has said he would
love to have President Trump on his show. Now the
problem is, if Trump does that, it'll get record ratings.
(29:51):
Kimmel's show is very low rated, usually in third place.
Why give him such big ratings? And then they said,
I think the biggest ratings in the history of Late
night was Tiny Tim's wedding nineteen sixty nine. The Tonight Show.
They've got forty nine million people forty nine million on
the Tonight Show. But it turns out the record is
(30:11):
was actually Carson's final show when he signed off in
nineteen ninety two. That got fifty five million people. Fifty
five million. Think about that, fifty five million watching Carson
sign off and Seth Meyers now with the five hundred
thousand people, or Jimmy Kimmel number one with one point
two million people. Times have changed. Hey, we're out of time,
(30:36):
but I'll be back Monday ten to noon. Hey, if
you're a podcast listener, you listen to podcast on the weekends,
there's a bonus segment so you get to hear a
more show that wasn't on the air otherwise. I'm here
every weekday ten to noon. Don't go away. Buck and
Clay are coming up next. And if you can't listen
live ten to noon, you can listen on the podcast.
(30:57):
If you're a podcast listener, you can hear the show
whenever you want, day or night right. So have a
great weekend. Talk to you Monday on seven ten wor
The Mark Simone Show on seven tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, it's very strange. You know, it's cold out, Hockey
seasons started. Football games are on Thursday night and Monday night.
It's just very strange. It's really autumn. I can feel
it now. And I look every time you go in
the store, first display, you see Halloween candy everywhere. It's
only a matter of time. It's gonna happen. Very soon.
You're gonna walk into a store and there'll be some
(00:27):
Christmas display there. It's in fact, I just I just
a friend of mine just texting me from Paris. They're
putting up Christmas lights on the shows that he say
right now as we speak, Walmart is doing it already.
But that's okay, that's okay. The faster this happens, the
quicker we get to spring. So Columbus Day is Monday.
(00:49):
This is a holiday that was really on the outs
for a while, but not now. President Trump putting out
a proclamation about Columbus Day is going to make it
a very big deal. Columbus Day Parade will be here
in New York on Monday. So just remember that snarling
up traffic all over Midtown on Monday. Let's get to
the mayoral race. New polling shows that with Eric Adams
(01:11):
dropping out of the race, Cuomo picks up a few votes,
about eighty percent more than I thought. About eighty percent
of the Adams vote has gone to Cuomo. About twenty
percent went to Mom Donnie. Now, these poles aren't that accurate.
These are these dopey college polls. But it shows Cuomo
picking up a little, but not enough to really come
(01:31):
close to Mom Donnie. Mom Donnie still has a big lead.
Curtis picked up a little. The matching funds were handed
out and matching funds yesterday. Cuomo got almost two million
in matching funds. That's from the campaign finance board. Curtis
got a million four in matching funds. Mom Donnie got
(01:54):
I think a million two in matching funds. Now Curtis
has been spending money. I'll give them credit. Those ads
are all over the place. If you're watching the Yankee
playoff game, Curtis ran ads in the game. If you're
watching Good Day in New York this morning, there were
ads for Curtis TV ads. Mo'm Donnie not doing much advertising,
But if he does, it's not TV, it's social media.
(02:16):
That's the most important battleground right now. Cuomo doing a
lot of interviews and if you listen to him in
these interviews, the problem is he's awful in debates. He's
a terrible debater. He's slow, and he talks like this.
So I'm listening to some of these. He's done some
long interviews podcasts, radio shows, and if you listen to them,
(02:41):
you ask the guy a question and then he takes
a long time to answer and it's like a five
minute answer. He's great on a podcast podcast, you got
to fill an hour. This guy's perfect. Ask him anything.
He talks for eight minutes with a talks slow, runs
down the clock. But you can't do that in a debate.
(03:03):
And you gotta be like Mam Donnie. In a debate,
you gotta be rapid fire, like boom boom boom. You
hit the guy with stuff and then they go to
Cuomo for a response and he goes, mister, mom, Donnie
may think that uh, And already the audience says, so
he's not good in the debate. Curtis is a great debater.
Now the big development this is where the race will
(03:24):
be decided Thursday night. The first mayor Old debate. There'll
be another one six days later. But Thursday night, the
first mayor old debate. This is coming Thursday night. It'll
be Mam. Donnie'll be he's good. Into the debate, he's
very good. Curtis will be very good. Curtis could hit
him with a knockout punch. You never know. Anything's possible.
(03:45):
He may not, but anything's possible. Cuomo will talk slow
and it won't work, and it'll look old and tired
compared to these two. And so if Curtis can land
some blows and really make difference, that could turn the
race around. Now it's possible that Curtis is very good,
but nothing changes. And then now New York is famous.
(04:09):
New York City is famous for in its mayoral races,
the whole thing can change in the last couple of weeks.
We've seen that before many times in New York City,
where whatever race way, the race is headed, in the
last couple of weeks, it just all changes. It can
all change very fast in New York City. I don't
know exactly why, but here is where that does happen.
So it could be the debate shakes everything up and
(04:32):
things change. It could be that nothing changes, and then
you're on track to have a Mamdani victory. Cuomo, we
know is not the one guy that can't beat Mamdani
is Cuomo. We've seen it in the primary. He got
just slapped around by him in two debates. He lost
by a lot of votes in the primary. So Thursday night,
(04:53):
if anything's going to change, that's where it'll change. Now.
Mamdani's been doing a lot of interviews, and the other
thing is Mam Donnie's been sort of hedging. He normally
was given clear answers, but Buck Sexton texting, we love Buck.
Your Cuomo is excellent, Thank you very much. You know,
(05:17):
I'm listening to these radio interviews. And here's the other thing.
You know, you're dealing with a weasel. When they talk,
they ask themselves questions and answer like, what about the
nursing homes? Did you get kill ten thousand people? A
lot of people ask me about the nursing homes? Look,
(05:37):
do I think I made a mistake? Maybe do I
think I might have done things differently? Maybe he's been
saying that a lot lately. First, he tried this explanation
about the nursing homes. It's the dumbest decision ever in
the history of decisions. Can you imagine people have got
the virus they just tested positive, you send them into
(05:59):
the nursing homes where these old, vulnerable people are living.
It was the dumbest thing ever. So he's tried for
the last week this explanation of well, other states did
it to it, We're not the only plenty of states
did it. Yeah, but it wasn't the same and it
wasn't like this here. I mean, this was a he
(06:20):
killed ten thousand people. The decision was genocidal. So he's
now doing this. I wouldn't call it an apology. Look,
did I make a mistake? Would I do it differently? Maybe? Yes.
And he's doing this fudging thing where he says, look,
I still have nightmares at night. I can remember all
(06:42):
my conversations with those families. He says that a lot now,
in all my conversations with these families, I'd like to
find somebody. Please find one family that he had he had.
There's no family that says they've ever had a conversation
with Cuomo. He's changed his tune on bailro form. Hey,
(07:02):
our friend Sid interviewed him this morning and Sid at
one point, good for sid. He brought up Kathy Hokel.
You know, Kathy Holk has been a horrible governor, and
he said, she's terrible. You picked her. You're the one
that gave us Kathy Hulkel, you know, the lieutenant governor.
You picked her. And Cuomo said, yeah, you re elected her.
(07:25):
So that's a good comeback, very snappy comeback. First time
its history was made. Clomo actually had a snappy comeback.
But he's going to get hit with all this stuff
and Curtis will pound away on him. So if anything's
going to change, it'll change Thursday. Oh now here's another
factor with this peace agreement in the Middle East. This
affects the mayoral race. It's going to affect a few
(07:46):
elections around the country. A lot of these races are
all about how horrible israel Is and Gaza people are
starving being slought. Well, now that that's over, this kind
of takes that issue off the table, and it was
a big one from Amdani. So he's going to lose
this issue. In fact, if he tries this again, the
suffering and the Palestinians, the suffering in Gaza, if he
(08:10):
tries pulling that you can point out, well, then thank Trump,
he's the one that solved the problem. He's bringing that
problem to a complete conclusion. And there's a lot of
governor's races where that's a big issue, you know, Israel Palestine.
So it's a tough thing, this peace agreement, because it's brilliant,
it's wonderful, it's an amazing negotiation, amazing accomplishment by Trump.
(08:31):
It's tough for the Democrats because they have to actually
try to say something nice. Chuck Schumer White, I mean,
he was so his glasses were fogging up, but he
had to say something.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
If disagreement is implemented, then finally, after two years of
immense suffering, the hostages could soon be free. There could
be a ceasefire, and the victims of this painful conflict
can start to rebuild their lives.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, now they're waiting to see exactly how this unfolds.
Does it actually work? So this weekend they can't really
go after the present because we don't know. We've got
to see will this really work? Will it be done?
So let's say it everything goes well. On the weekend,
Trump goes to Egypt, they make the deal. Everything signed Monday,
they released the hostages Tuesday. There's a big ceremony for
(09:19):
the hostage. This will be great. Then it's after that
the media has to try to figure out how to
attack Trump on this. They will find a way. How
will they attack them? I don't know. Well, maybe listen
to the Schumer thing again.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
If this agreement is implemented, then finally after two years.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So maybe that'll be the attack line. If he could
do this, why didn't he do this two years ago?
Why did he wait two years to do this? They'll
try something like that. They'll try a few things to
see what sticks. Hey, Jimmy Kimmel's done a bunch of interviews. Kimmel,
he was on Bloomberg. So when it comes to the
big lie, he told that's how he got in all
the trouble. He lied about the Charlie kirkshooter, claiming it
(09:58):
was a maga guy. Total distortion, total fake news. He
can't admit that though he's on this Bloomberg interview and
he said, well, it was mischaracterized. I was distorted what
I said. Now we can see the clip. He out
and out lied. He deliberately lied on the show. But
he's mischaracterized a store, So he just won't give in
(10:20):
on this.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
The other thing is he said he would love to
have Donald Trump on his show, So he basically invited
Trump to come on his show. Now you might say, well,
that's great, he should do that. Trump would be great.
He can handle Kimmel. This would be he should definitely
do well.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
He said.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The problem is, why would Kimmel do this, because in
all the controversy when he came back on the air,
he got six point five million viewers, not as usual
one million. He got six and a half million. He
was suddenly number one, He suddenly had great ratings. Well
it took a few days, but it quickly went back
to one million. He lost the whole bounce that he got.
(10:55):
He lost it all and went back to his miserable ratings.
So that's why he wants to have Trump on because
then he could go to twenty million or what's the
all time record late night television. I think it was
Johnny Carson tiny Tim's wedding nineteen sixty nine that went
to forty nine million. That's the all time record for
(11:16):
a late night show. He thinks he could do that
with Trump. So if Trump, you know, he'd want to
do it, but he wouldn't. Why help Kimmel, Why help Kimmel.
So he should say to him, I'll do an interview
with you, but let's do it on the Sean Hannity Show.
Let's do it on. Let's do it on Fallon, give
(11:39):
fallon the ratings. But we'll see if anything comes to
that invitation. Hey, a lot of people in the Senate
are going to be suing Jack Smith, that bug eyed
weirdo with the cape. You know, he got their phone records,
their phone calls. But turning out, he got a lot
of stuff. He went into everybody's phone, got their GPS.
He can see everywhere they went, everywhere they went. You know,
(12:05):
I'll see you go into your iPhone. There's a lot
of stuff in there. There's got medical records, most people
have their medications. There's all kinds of personal information in there.
So they're gonna sue this guy like crazy. He's speaking
of medical You know a lot of people love taking ozempic.
There's three of them. There's a what's the other one,
Manjaro's Zeppa. There's like a bunch of these. The problem
(12:26):
with is ozambic. You get what's called ozempic face. It
starts looking old. Your face looks old, and it starts sagging.
It you get they call it ozembic face. Now that
disappointing out. You'll get ozembic teeth. It plays around with
your the healthier teeth and your gums. Now apparently there's
another discovery they've just come up with. Uh, if you're
on ozampic and then you need medical imaging, you know,
(12:49):
a cat scan, an MRI, it can distort the results
and give you false results and you can get misdiagnosed.
With a long explanation as to why. Too complicated. But
that's another problem to those MPigs. Hey, oh hey, a
great a great guy died yesterday, Shelley Fireman. He was
one of the great restaurant tours in New York. He
(13:11):
was ninety three. Right over there he tried to read
del Arte. That was one of his restaurants, Red Eye, Grill, Fiorilla,
right across from Lincoln Center. Through the years, Bond forty
five in the theater disc This guy was a great
restaurant owner, a very colorful guy in real life. And
I'm leaving that there's a bunch of restaurants he owned
(13:32):
ninety three just died yesterday, but I saw him not
long ago. He was in the restaurant holding a meeting,
working at ninety three, in fact, fifty seventh three. He
just opened this new restaurant, the Paris Bistro, Paris Bar,
whatever it's called. But he's ninety two opening a brand
new restaurant. That's the way you gotta be, Cape working,
never stop. Hey, when we come back, we'll take some calls.
(13:54):
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
the number. Eight hundred two one zero seven ten. If
you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
App, save time and tap the preset button.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Now back to the Mark Simode show on woor.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Dave
in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
I'm doing very well. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Mark.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
I have a proposition that I think would be best
suited for Allen's y Bell in your next interview, and
it has to do with writing scripts for television. Now,
the major networks ABC, NBC, CBS, et cetera, they restrict
time and scripts because they have to allow for commercials, yes,
animals such as HBO. You know, they run shows like this.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, it's the proposal.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Well, they vary in length and they can include profanity
and nudities. So essentially, for writers, is the easier to write.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That's a good question. Yeah, we'll ask him that next time.
You know, in the old days of the fifties, I
love Lucy the Honeymooners, when you wrote the script for
the sitcom, it was about I think it was twenty
four minutes because they had to leave six minutes for
commercials during the half hour. Do you know that by
the Seinfeld days it was down to like sixteen minutes
(15:14):
because they kept adding and adding commercials, So a sitcom
script was really only about sixteen seventeen minutes. Now it's
kind of different because television is dying. There's very few
viewers left on television primetime, even primetime, so it's less commercials,
so the scripts are probably getting longer. Now, let's go
to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Thanks thanks to Mark. That's a good point he just
brought up to a fellow from Chicago. I mean, just
think about how they wrote four complete stories for four
characters in fifteen or sixteen minutes. Really was unbelievable. You know,
I got a lot of joy you say, watching Martha
raditsh that old hag. Have to actually give Donald credit,
some Donald Trump some credit, and it's gone by the
time he's done. He's going to deserve that last space
(15:57):
of Mount Rushmore. Never mind a Nobel Peace Prize. Put
him on the mount. That's president we ever had.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
All right knowing him. Apparently you can't put somebody on
Mount Rushmore. They keep explaining to you. Who knows, Maybe
it's just partisan nonsense, that the the rock. You can't,
you can't carve anything. Knowing Trump, He'll start a second
Mount Rushmore somewhere else. He'll do a second Mount Rushmore.
(16:24):
He'll put Reagan, he'll put himself. Actually a good idea,
Actually a good idea second Mount Rushmore. Let's go to
Pat in Westchester. Pat, How you doing, hey, Mark?
Speaker 7 (16:35):
You have terrific guests on you have each week, Liz Peak,
Miranda Divine. The one thing that you were talking about
Trump derangement syndrome. And I think some of it could
be jealousy if you look at that. He has a
beautiful wife, He's amassed billions of dollars in wealth and
He's a national icon and you know, a world icon.
(16:58):
So it could be an a jealousy.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, I don't think it's jealous so much because you
look at these Trump haters. There are all these old
hag women that live on the Upper West Side. They
don't want to be in a glitzy Trump Tower apartment.
They don't want to be married to a supermodel. They're
I think Miranda divine. If you didn't hear last hour,
it was fascinating. Will follow up on this. She's been
talking to a psychiatrist like doctor Keith Ablow.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
And.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It's daddy issues. It's a super strong, forceful, dominant male
that they can't stand. And if you look back on presidents,
first of all, you have to put on this fake formality,
and Paul you can't just you know, be an outrageous
kind of guy like Trump is. You can't in real life.
(17:44):
That's where it comes. But could she might have put
her finger on it. You know, every great politician, no
matter how strong, and they are great presidents, Bill Clinton,
they show a lot of vulnerability and the humbleness. And
George could look very vulnerable at times and humble. And Obama, yeah,
(18:06):
he could look humble at times and show some vulnerability
and self deprecating and all that. But they all could
do that, but not Trump. There's no vulnerability anywhere. So
it's like the roughest, toughest, strongest, most masculine dominating. It
just sets off those women. They can't deal with it.
Let's go to Alan Yonkers. Al, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Good?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Thanks for taking my call. You know, I just wanted
your personal opinion. You know, I saw Mike Lawler when
he stopped the minority leader Jeffreys, and not that it
was a political stunt. I just thought it was inappropriate
because of security reasons. As you know, the minority leader
being in the leadership has Secret Service protection, and I
(18:53):
just started to put the Secret Service in uncomfortable positions.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Yeah, would you agree, or.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
There's no security problem they can protect. But what it
was is, you know how always tell you don't argue
with Democrats. If you got a friend who hates don't
argue because it'll be like that Lawler Jeffrey's conversation. You're
just yelling at each other for twenty minutes. You're not
going to change their mind. Don't even bother. It's like
arguing with a statue. I mean, don't bother, don't argue
(19:18):
with him. So when they say to hey, it happens
to me all the time. I was with this group
of entertainment business people and one of them says, this
is the worst nightmare we've ever lived through this trump.
I can't sleep at night. And it looked at me
and go, yeah, me too, me too, Just yes, I'm
to death. Change the subject, get out of there, don't
(19:39):
even try to argue with them, whatever they think. Just
let it go. Hey, today would have been John Lennon's
eighty fifth birthday. It would have been eighty five today.
You know, it's interesting some people you just never saw
them get old. A lot of them. You see. You
know Billy Joel, you see him now. You wouldn't if
(20:01):
you came in a time machine from nineteen seventy eight
to now, you wouldn't recognize Billy Joe's. It's totally different looking.
McCartney obviously looks his age, well not really, but he
looks older, but he still looks like McCartney, still sounds
like McCartney. But if you die young, people never see
you age. It's like Jack Kennedy, John F. Kennedy. We
(20:22):
always see him as young, dynamic president. We never saw
him get like Ted Kennedy, old and plump and boom.
So John Lennon would have been eighty five years old today. Hey,
when we come back, Ed Rollins will be with us.
The greatest political analyst, the Dean himself, will talk to
him next on seven to ten WR, Mark.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Simone on seventen WR.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well, let's talk to the Dean himself, the best political
analyst of all. Nobody has run more campaigns, more successful
campaigns than he has. Ed Rollins is with us, Ed,
how you doing doing well?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Thank you? Monarch tivy going on in the world.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
So this piece deal, if all goes according to plan
and it happens, what will the Democrats do, how will
they attack him on this?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Well, I won't be able attack on this. They basically
have to plaud and I think the world is starting
to applaud completely. Ship. This will not happen if he
had to stepped in and pushed BB to the to
the wall. And I think it's a certain extent you
read that argue about the stupidity of who got the
Nobel Peace Prize. Today, If this thing works, he's going
(21:33):
to be the one of unanimously a year from now.
The Peace Price dominees are supposed to be in by February.
He was barely president at the time, and I think
this certain extent, don't let the ediocy of the Peace
Price overshadow what he's done. He's made this happen. He's
about these forces have been fighting. He said this for
(21:53):
thousands of years together, and he asked to make it
work now.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So yeah, now, I know he's got a lot to do,
but I think he should also take up another task,
which is just wipe out this reputation of this Nobel
Peace Prize. It's a Democrat peace prize. It's a left
wing slanted I don't know how they still have this reputation,
but Donald Trump should try to take away that reputation
from don't you think, well, I think he.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
I think he probably will. I mean, who cares. Being
perfectly honest, Yeah, you know, Jimmy Carter got it after
he was president, ten years after he left. Obama got
it before he was president. You got it, You got
the Peace Ward, and everybody said it was just because
he got left it. Uh, you know, three months into
his administration. So the last American who really got it deserved.
(22:36):
It was Jeddy Roosevelt. Trump did stopped the war.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, hey, yeah, the New Jersey race, it's Chitdarelli against
what's her named, Mickey sch Mikey Sheryl. They got in
a big fight and the she accused him of this
and that he's now says he's gonna sue her. Have
you ever heard of that one candidate suing another because
of what they said in the debate?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
And you know the problem with suits is that people
find out, you know, once you get beyond the rhetoric
of the initial case, then you have to discovery and
all the rest of it. Then you know, her counter
claim is going to be, how did he get her
federal documents that he shouldn't have had, so, you know,
argue about the things that matter people in New Jersey
and where she graduated in her class or but there's
(23:22):
circumstances work. She's a member of Congress. She's got a
lot of the ideas that probably won't work, and he's
got a lot of ideas that are going to be challenged.
And that's what the campaign had to be about. Though.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Hey, a lot of these campaigns around the mayoral race
with Montoni and some of these governors race. A big
issue is Gaza, the treatment of the people in Gaza,
Palestine's if this peace deal goes through, They're going to
lose that issue for the final weeks, aren't they.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
They are going to lose that issue, and hopefully there's
a lot of other issues that come to the forefront.
There's a lot a lot of plays right now in
the course system in Portland, the Chicago they putting troops around,
and the super Court obviously back on the game again.
So you know what you want no want to do
is you don't want to have these things falter on you,
and make sure that everything you're doing is in coordination.
(24:10):
And as you heard me over and over again, I'm
a great believer in messages, and if you have too
many things on the turny just can sort of lay
your message down right now. But getting the government back
functioning again is what's the most important. The president can
stop that or start that. But if you start having
(24:31):
trouble with planes, you start having trouble with soldiers not
getting paid, then you really have a big issue.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeh, Hey, the mayoral race, the big debate is coming
up Thursday. Now, let's say Curtis just hits mom down
and would knockout blows unbelievable moments that go viral? Could
that change the race?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Anybody watches it?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Well, it's social media. It could go viral all over
the place.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's possible it will go it will go that. But
no already watched these debates anymore. I mean, it's just
the number of the numbers in New Jersey debates this
week and Virginia Curtlow and but social media does play
mid brolly, and Curtis has tomate the case. You know,
he's serving the factor at this point. I keep Cuomo
(25:15):
from being a look candidate. Clomo got all all of Adams,
but he has to He's still thirteen fourteen points a hime,
which is a pretty good place to be, and and
the other problems Rondi's getting. You take people underd and fifty,
you've got to majority that vote. He's got a majority
of the Asian voters, Black voters, which normally almost strong suits.
(25:38):
So my senses, he's still I'd much rather have his
campaign if I was in the campaign. I don't want to
run a socialist campaign. But but he's still pretty well positioned.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, Hey, now you've been the best erratic.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Something dramatic has to happen.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You've been the best campaign consultant for years if you
were working for Cuomo. When you say, I don't know
how you say it, but when you say to them, hey,
you got to talk a little faster. You got to
be able to have a little more energy. Tired would
could you tell him that.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I've been terribly disappointed in the campaign. As I told you,
I'm not a Cuomo fan, but I'm just as an
observer at this point in time. I've seen one ad,
I've seen dozens of ads sort of mundabih and you know,
I don't see any ground game, as though there was
no Democratic Party operators that are going order for him
(26:23):
at this point, CMO And to a certain extent, how
do you win? You win by being out there and
being dramatic. And I'll say, you know, he's he's my
father did, he's what I did and more. But that's
not acceptable today. It's got a fifty two percent of
Google reading. It's got to do something I lived down
and he's got to do something that very is the
(26:44):
you know, and I think he's the only woman obviously
is liliable at this point in time.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, Hey, we were talking before Miranda divine and she's
been talking to psychologists. This Trump hatred, the people that
hate Trump. It's like a raging so psychiatrist said, it's
it's like a daddy issue. It's like he's too tough,
he's too masculine, he's too he shows no vulnerability anywhere. Ever,
it's too much. What do you think.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I think there's some truth that, I mean there is,
there is a polarization, and it doesn't matter what he does.
He doesn't get any of those years back. And he's done.
He's been a very strong president. He's done a lot
and if you look at it, just premier him a
progress in six seven months, He's made tremendous progress. He's
(27:32):
definitely defined redefine the president's rule. I mean, he's elvist
president for in history. Yeah, and people even credit.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
For him well Ed rollins. Uh. But you know every present,
even Nixon would show vulnerability. He would also you'd see
him bowling, you see him with the kids. He was
like an all American father. Trump does none of that.
Do you think he should do that try to look
more humble normal?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I think hell he would be a great asset for
him to a certain extent. He's too angry. He is
too many, too many enemies that he wants to take out.
At this point in time, they have to just be
do it quietly, do it scenes, and just get out
there and talk about what I've done for the country
when I'm wanting to continue to do for the country,
and what i want to do with the world. I mean,
(28:17):
it's the strongest wading in a world war today. Yeah,
is just distractions. Go I think the settle all.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right, Well you tell him. I'm not going to tell him,
but Ed Rollins great talking to you, great stuff. Keep
up with the good work. T thanks for being with
this week. Take care, h Hey. Coming up at twelve
noon Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. They do an excellent show
every day. It's from noon to three then three o'clock.
(28:47):
He got the most listened to radio show in America.
Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly's on every night at six and
now Jimmy Fallon every night nine to midnight. Excellent show,
very funny. You love Jimmy Fayla. They say Fallon, Jimmy Fayla,
Jimmy Fallon wouldn't be so hot. But it's Jimmy Fayla,
who's much funnier than Jimmy Fallon. Great comedian, great talk
(29:10):
show hosts. But it's every weeknight. You can hear it
tonight nine to midnight right here on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Mister New York Marcellone on WR, Well, Hey, you know
we're talking about the New Jersey governor's race, Chitarelli versus
Mikey Cheryl.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
You know they've spent seventy two million dollars already on
this governor's race. Seventy two million. I think that's an
all time record for New Jersey governor's race. So, hey,
you're talking before about Jimmy Kimmel has said he would
love to have President Trump on his show. Now the
problem is, if Trump does that, it'll get record ratings.
(29:51):
Kimmel's show is very low rated, usually in third place.
Why give him such big ratings? And then they said,
I think the biggest ratings in the history of Late
night was Tiny Tim's wedding nineteen sixty nine. The Tonight Show.
They've got forty nine million people forty nine million on
the Tonight Show. But it turns out the record is
(30:11):
was actually Carson's final show when he signed off in
nineteen ninety two. That got fifty five million people. Fifty
five million. Think about that, fifty five million watching Carson
sign off and Seth Meyers now with the five hundred
thousand people, or Jimmy Kimmel number one with one point
two million people. Times have changed. Hey, we're out of time,
(30:36):
but I'll be back Monday ten to noon. Hey, if
