New York City is allegedly up to $8 billion that has reportedly gone missing from funds intended to address homelessness. There is speculation that Mayor Eric Adams might skip Zohran Mamdani's inauguration in January. Meanwhile, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has launched a congressional bid, drawing attention for his style, which some say is reminiscent of Mr. Rogers. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They share some laughs about post-holiday party antics and discuss concerns about safety in New York City, especially with Zohran Mamdani set to be sworn in as mayor in January 2026.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, still Mark's among show on seven to tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, hey, two weeks till Christmas? Two weeks is Christmas Eve?
Two weeks from tonight? I'm not sure. I think Christmas Day,
so yeah, Christmas Eve is a Wednesday. Yeah, so this
is Thursday. It's two weeks from Christmas Day already, and
(00:32):
then three weeks from New Year's Day. Now, the problem
is New Year's Day, you get a new mayor. It's
inauguration Day. You're gonna get a new mayor on January first.
Guess who it is. Yeah, it's Mom Donnie with his
homeless camps everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Mayor Mom Donnie ensures that we connect those New Yorkers
with actual housing. We have to look at the efficacy
of the Adams Administration's policy on this. It is a
policy that did not connect a single New Yorker to
permanent housing in an entire year. That cannot be a
policy we continue.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
He's very much like a brilliant college professor. He speaks
beautifully and he uses words like efficacy. We have to
look at the efficacy of what we're doing. I don't
know what the hell efficacy is, but we're going to
look at it. And it sounds great and like any
good college professor, sounds brilliant, but in reality cannot execute
a damn thing, can't get anything done, has no experience
(01:31):
actually doing anything, just talks about it. He's looking at
the efficacy and meantime, can't actually do anything, doesn't know anything,
has no practical experience of any kind. The other thing
we find is that when Democrats get on this homeless thing,
they come up with programs to do something about it.
(01:51):
Deblasio had that Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A
billion dollars is poured into it. Not one homeless person
ever got helped, and they can't find the billion dollars.
They still don't know what happened to that billion dollars.
Remember he put his wife in charge of the program.
And of course you can always count on fake news
(02:13):
in the media to never ever ask anything about the
billion dollars and went missing. Can you imagine going to
Channel two, Channel four, Channel five, Channel seven, go to
the New York Times and saying, the mayor set up
a program for a billion dollars and it went missing.
Nobody can find the billion dollars, and all of them
(02:34):
say to you, what's for lunch today. They don't even
care that anyon want to know about it. If Donald
Trump lost a quarter, they'd send a thousand reporters to
go cover this story. They don't want to know a
damn thing about it. Look at Somalia community, Somalian community Minnesota.
Same thing that elon Omar, that wacko Well, actually might
(02:55):
not be as stupid as you think. Because eight billion
went missing. They think it's up to eight billion. It
was first it was a billion, and it was two billion,
other saying up to eight billion might have gone missing.
Same thing. They set up a program supposedly was taking
care of the homeless. Meantime, nobody can find any homeless
that got taken care of. Nobody can find any hint
of the money ever going to where it was supposed
to be. Billions, literally billions missing. New York Times, ABC, NBCCBS,
(03:24):
no interest. They don't even mention it's not a story
eight billion missing. Eh, We've got other things to talk about.
The Trump affordability. So, of course, when you lose eight
billion in tax pair of money, or in Manhattan or
in New York City, when you lose a billion in
tax pair of money, taxes go up, so that's the problem.
So you got Mom Donnie talking about the homeless and
(03:45):
he wants to set up a program to help them. Well,
you're going to see another billion go missing. It's it's
not that these people well I don't know, but it
might not be that they're putting the money in their pocket,
Doublazi or Mom Donnie. But it's contracts to hand down.
It's like that green scheme, the climate change, the reason
they push that so hard. It's billions and billions and
(04:06):
billions in contracts you can hand out. Now, if you're
not so honest, some of the money ends up in
your pocket. But if you're honest. You know, a guy
like Chuck Schumer or something like that, I don't think
he's personally crooked. He's a dirty, sleazy politician, but I
don't think he's you know, personally crooked. But what you
do is you hand out contracts to donors. Billions in contracts.
(04:29):
And every time you hand out one of those contracts
that donor owes you, you can call them every few weeks.
I need fifty thousand, I need one hundred thousand, I
need two hundred and fifty thousand. These guys get these
calls all the time, and when they say they need
the money, it's for the campaign for the senator's pack.
So the billionaire, you know, you can pick up the
(04:50):
phone and these type of politicians. The billionaire can call
this guy. He's got his cell number. You can call
him at midnight. I need a favor, I need to
change of regulation, I need a permit, I need this.
You can call them anytime. It'll get done, just like that.
But they'll have a guy call you every couple of weeks.
Can you do fifty? Can you do one hundred? Yeah,
I can do it all right. We'll call you back,
(05:11):
tell you who to write the check to, and they'll
call you back. Write the check to the super pack
this or this, and you keep writing these checks and
those packs pay for anything the senator needs as far
as campaign expenses or staff or consultants or anything like that, advertising,
whatever they need. So that's the racket, that's the green scheme.
(05:31):
They handed a billions in contracts and ten to twenty
percent of it came back to these politicians. Same thing
with these homeless programs. They'll hand out these contracts and
the money will come back to them in various ways.
The Momdani transition team, for instance, has already raised like
five million bucks a transition team. All they do is
(05:52):
they need a conference room. You know, if you really
your transition team needs a few offices in a conference
They got the big business guys who are don't you know,
charities do that all the time. They call the big
business guy, the CEO. Hey, we need the conference room, Sure,
come over, use it for six hours. We'll lend it
(06:12):
to you. We do that here at iHeart. We got
beautiful conference rooms. If there's a big charity we're trying
to help, you need to use our conference room, Come
use it. We got one that holds like two hundred people.
You can use that one. They do it all every company,
every major corporation does that. It's free. You don't need
to raise four million for your transition team five million.
But mom Donnie just did that in the last couple
(06:33):
of weeks. So this is good news. By the way,
that he turns out to be just as slippery and
greedy and as money making as everybody else, so that it
means the big business guys may be able to keep
him in line in various ways. Hey, the inauguration, as
they say, is New Year's Day. Eric Adams is the
(06:53):
current mayor, obviously, and he's saying now he might not
go to the inauguration. That would be quite a slap
in the face to mom. Donnie. Uh, he didn't say
he wouldn't go. He just said he hasn't decided. Well,
you're supposed to go, obviously, you go. He says he
hasn't decided if he'll go. You know that idiot. Brad
Lander left wing, very left wing. He was the controller.
(07:16):
You can get away with being a controller because nobody
knows what the hell of controller does controller controller controller,
You can say either one controller is perfectly acceptable. And
generally they're guys who have no personality. Remember Scott Stringer,
very nice guy. Scott string he wasn't a kup, just
a nice guy, but cute, a cute guy, but not
(07:37):
a lot of personality. Brad Lander the same way. He's
more he's not so cute. He's more of a silly
guy with no personality. Even in his campaign, it just
sounds like people kept saying, he sounds like mister Rogers.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I love the people who make this city what it is,
So I'm running for Connas because the challenges we face
can't be solved with strongly worded letters or high dollar fundraing.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, that's certainly forceful. Hey, I'm running for Congress. You
know why. I'll tell you why. Everybody kept telling him
just sound exactly like mister Rogers, and I guess he
had to answer that.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
But a mister Rogers that stands up and fights Ice
and fights Trump and fights Muss and try clubbed to
crops and fights a pad and said this.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Was our neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, that's even worse. Hey, But I stand there, I
fight Trump. I find I find sounds terrible.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
But a mister Rogers that stands up and fights Ice,
and fights Trump, and fights Muss and try clubbed to
crops and fights a pad and said this.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Was our.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Okay. But on the other hand, you know, Mike Tyson
has got to be the toughest guy ever. Mike Tyson.
You ever hear him on the radio? Hi, I'm Mike Tyson.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
Roy.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Can you imagine if you've got to fight with a
guy on the phone and he said, you can't talk
to me like that, and you didn't know it was
Mike Tyson. You just heard this voice. What are you
gonna do about it. I'm coming down, Yeah, you come
down here that it's Mike Tyson. But he's got to
run against Dan Goldman, Who's Now, this is a race
that doesn't matter either way because Lander is a very
(09:18):
far left wing kook, but so is Goldman, so it
doesn't matter who wins that thing. But Lander's going after Goldman.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
I mean Democrats choosing not to support the Democratic nominee
for mayor of New York City in a general election. Yeah,
I think that was a failure that showed that we
need something different.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
He does sound like it sounds like Charles Nelson Riley
without without the charm. So Goldman going after him.
Speaker 10 (09:44):
Now, I welcome Brad to the race. I'm not really
thinking about this right now. I'm in Washington, really focused
on making sure that healthcare can will not be taken
away from millions of people. We are focused on the
immigration ragnet that Donald Trump is sweeping the country with.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, here's the problem. Goldman is a much better looking
guy than Lander, and he's got a much better voice.
So he looks good, he sounds good. You getting a
debate and Goldman's talking to mile a minute, We're gonna
do this in this, and then we have Lander talks
like this. It's not gonna work out too well.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I love the people who make this city what it is.
So I'm running for Congress.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm running for Congress. And then Goldman talks like this.
I think Goldman wins that debate easily. He does sound
like mister Rogers. I don't hear it this again. Let
me no, that's the same one. Uh yeah, it's gonna
be a problem for him. He's not gonna do well,
Brad Lander, but he's gonna be like the next Scott Stringer.
(10:46):
These controllers. That's the problem of that job. You end
up running every four years, every two years for anything
and everything, and it goes nowhere. You always lose every time. Hey,
that Luigi Mangione got caught in Pennsylvania, goes to McDonald's
and they're starting to release all the material. You know,
(11:07):
he's in McDonald's. This is kind of crazy. He's in McDonald's.
You know, a chain, a fast food, big chain like
that McDonald's. You got to figure they got security cameras everywhere,
they probably got video over every inch of the place.
And he's just sitting there eating. He's not wearing sunglasses.
He's not wearing a hat, he's not trying to describe
(11:28):
the disguise himself. So if you listen to the nine
to one one calls from the manager, she says, a
lot of people eating here. Many of our customers think
he looks like the CEO assassin from New York. So
they recognized him even in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania.
And if you look at the interviews with these people,
(11:51):
it was the eyebrows. You know, he has these unusually thick, big, bushy,
weird eyebrows. So they said that was the first thing
he said he look like. And then they saw the
same exact eyebrows, which are very unusual, and that's why
they knew it was him. So the guy's not that bright.
First of all, you got those big eyebrows, put on
some sunglasses so people can't see him, or you know,
(12:12):
dye your hair a different color and shave off the eyebrows,
or cut him down, you know, get rid of the
eyebrows and your dye your hair looked at you know,
even David Jensen in The Fugitive New to do that. So,
or you know, wear a hat and sunglasses when you're
going to be sitting in a McDonald's with a lot
of people around, so he got himself caught. But again,
(12:34):
you know, he wasn't I guess the brightest assassin in
the world. You know, it's right across the street from
where we are. Now we can go over that window
and see the spot where he did the shooting. And
it's sixth Avenue and fifty fifth Street, and it's got
surveillance cameras over every inch of it. So when you
do anything there, there's gonna be video of you doing it.
(12:54):
So I don't know how any chance of beating the case.
It's all on video. So, hey, Time Magazine. You remember
Time Magazine? Anybody remember that They still do this thing
called Time Magazine. I don't know who sees it or why,
but they still do the Man of the Year, the
Woman of the Year. Well now you got to call
it the person of the Year, Person of the year.
This year, the architects of AI. And then there's a
(13:19):
picture of eleven guys who you never heard of, you
don't know. Apparently they created AI. So but it's Time Magazine.
Twelve people see it, eleven of whom work there at
Time Magazine. Hey, Rosanna Scatto, Good Day New York. We
love Rosanna Scatto. Her family owns a wonderful restaurant called Fresco.
(13:40):
It's on fifty second Street. It's one of the great
Italian restaurants in New York. It's a lot of famous faces.
I was there yesterday. It's a great restaurant, Fresco, you
know it. It's been there for I think thirty years now, no,
well actually more than I remember going to the thirtieth
anniversary party, and that was a couple of years ago.
So they're in the news today because they had a
woman who I guess this is the accountant, the bookkeeper.
(14:03):
And it looks like this bookkeeper was stealing money. You know,
when you're the bookkeeper for a big thing like that,
you can make you can embezzle, you can. And it
looked like she took some money that was meant for tips.
It looked like she wrote checks to herself. It looks
like she siphoned cash out of thing. Well, how much
(14:23):
did she get? How much could you embezzle? Look at
this two point five million dollars was embezzled. Now this
is over a seven year period, but still that would
be about three hundred and fifty thousand a year that
she was embezzling. Pretty good. Well, they must make a
lot of money at this restaurant if they didn't notice
a two point five million missing. But they caught her. Finally,
(14:45):
she's been turned over to the DA Alvin Bragg will
prosecute her. Looks pretty bad for her. The embezzled funds,
it says, paid for her lifestyle away from work, including
one hundred thousand she used to buy a house Pennsylvania
with her husband. So a prosecutor's got all this. They
caught her. She here's the picture. They don't recognize her.
(15:07):
She didn't look familiar, very heavy. She might have been
rating that refrigerator there too. Some food might be missing.
I would take a look at that, But they got her.
I don't see how she gets out of this. This
is pretty bad. Hey, we'll take some Jimmy Faylor will
be with us in a few minutes. We'll take some calls.
Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
is the number? Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 1 (15:31):

Yeah, yeah, that's why I couldn't understand that. Now the
New York New York accent is everywhere. It's it doesn't
go away. You know, you go to Long Island. You
go to Long Island standing in the American and you

how you doing good?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Mark?
Speaker 11 (16:54):
You made a great point earlier about tying in the
economy on bullshoe killing bush about the time. I remember
back then people run around saying, Oh, it couldn't get
much worse, couldn't get much worse. And I said, really
at that time, which what do.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You want to talk?
Speaker 11 (17:13):
Boat?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
What are you doing? What are you doing in Delaware?
I sound like the irishman? What are you doing in Delaware?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I believe lad place?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (17:30):

Speaker 11 (17:32):
I would rather be in Maryland. That's where I'm headed.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, why are you in Delaware? Okay? You don't want

Speaker 2 (17:43):
I got it, I got it all right, you know,
don't answer you. Thanks for calling. Let's go to uh
Marco in East Hanover, Marco. How you doing good morning?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Just quick question, what do you think New York City
is going to look like in a year from now?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It'll look like after the first year at the Blasio.
It's going to be the same as Deblasio, which wasn't good,
but you got through it. You got through eight years
at de Blasio.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yeah, but we.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
All the crime in the seventies under Beam and Koch
and Viacan's I mean right now, in a year from now,
I think New York City, short of a blackout and
a serial killer on the loose, is going to catapult
the right back to nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
No, it won't. You remember, you got a lot of
the all these top people in the Mamdania misters, we're
all from the Deblasio administration. So they'll do what they
did there. Hey, one thing about these crazy socialists, they
do tend to put in an okay police commissioners. You know,
remember when the Deblasio came in. He did bring in
Bill Bratton. You know he kind of restricted him a little,
but you had a decent police commissioner. And you're gonna
(18:45):
have Jessica Tish here. She'll be there at least the
first year. And if if she leaves, I saw who
his next choice would be. And it's not a bad choice.
It's a I don't forget his name. He's Suffolk County
Police Commissioner. He was with the NYPD for years, so
it'll just be like a Deblasi administration, which wasn't good.
(19:05):
It was bad, but we got through it all right.
Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 12 (19:11):
Good morning, Mark, Good morning Marra. Mark speaking about this
accounting who built the restaurant for two and a half
million dollars and affordability. Yesterday I was talking to Mara
about a conversation I had about thirty five years ago
with a wise guy that I knew who in his Lady.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Listen, I can't believe you would associate with a known criminal.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Well, anyway, I like you. This guy in his later years,
when he was young, he was the enforcer for one
of the families, and then he went into loan shocking,
and in later years when he was an old man,
he had a bar and a restaurant. So one night
and he was a friend of the family. So one
night I'm in his restaurant having drinks. He was telling
(20:00):
me that even in the fifties there was this difference
in affordability. He was telling me the accountant for one
of the families who had a big legit accounting agency. Now,
you remember what Michael Corleoni said when he left New York.
He said that when he went to Vegas, he said,
in ten years, the Corleone family will be mainly legit.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
So they all say that nothing personal say so.
Speaker 12 (20:28):
Anyway, this guy was, this exub forser, was telling me
that the accountant who had this big agency, he lived
back in the fifties on certain place. And he told
me back then the rents were three hundred dollars on something.
(20:48):
This is in the fifties. And meanwhile, in the rest
of New York City you could get an apartment sometimes
even with gas and electricity, for fifty dollars. But since
this guy had to keep up the air and the
look of legitimacy, he lived on some place. Now, isn't
that income in equality? That show what it's.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That way, you got very expensive neighborhoods, you.
Speaker 12 (21:12):
Got very interesting exactly my point, Mark, Well, Vincent, we
got it. That's what I was telling Mara, this idea
of everybody's got a Ford.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
No, he's supposed to have a very expensive neighbor's. Vincent,
we gotta go, we gotta gotta do the news, but
great call is always when we come back. Jimmy Fayla
will be with us next on seven to ten wo R.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Now more Marks alone on seventen WR.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Well, you know, the great Jimmy Fayla is now on
w R every weeknight nine to Midnight's an excellent show,
very funny, very interesting, nine to midnight tonight every weeknight. Hey,
make sure you watch his Saturday night show on the
Fox News Channel. Best late night show, funniest monologue in television.
It's Saturday Night's ten o'clock on the Fox News Channel.
(21:58):
Jimmy Fayla, How you doing.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I'm doing good. I will have you know. I rode
in the Fox Today and the Long Island Railroad with
two of your biggest fans.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Oh oh, so they were great.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
They were Long Island people. I did not get names,
but I did take a picture and they they said,
we just want to say we love you on Saturday night,
and we love that you put your wife and your
kid on TV. But I have to tell you we
always listen to you on Mark Simone. I go, well,
today's Thursday, and you don't look like you have a
radio on you and they died laughing. So their perfect
(22:30):
attendance might have dropped today, but they were, man, were
they all over you? Like, in all honesty, if I
would have met them earlier in the train, they probably
would have bought my ticket. So take a bow, simone,
take a bow.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You're a big star to me. Feel like, what are
you doing riding on the train.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Last night? Was the Hawk the Fox News Christmas party? Yeah,
and I was told I should not be operating heavy
machinery for at least forty eight hours after what we're
on at that open bar.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I've been going to all these Christmas parties. It really
gets to you after a while. You how much can
you eat? How much can you drink? What do you
give people advice on how to get through these Christmas parties?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Well, this is the truth thing you need to do
because everybody's like, you know, etiquette at Christmas parties. Go
and have fun. Don't worry about you know, having a
drink or two, that's not the issue. You just don't
want to be the person that everyone's talking about the
next day. You know, every company Christmas party ends with
people going, hey, did you see so and so last night? Okay,
(23:33):
And if you don't know who so and so is
it was you? Okay, So sing all the Christmas carols
you want. Just don't be the guy with the Rudolph
Antlers on standing on.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Top of the bar, and you'll be fine. Hey, you know,
in three weeks, Mom Donnie gets inaugurated. What the hell
are we going to do?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Oh, that's why the Statue of Liberty is wearing a burke.
I was confused. I'm kidding, confused. What are we gonna do?
This is the truth, man, Okay. My biggest concern as
a New Yorker is always gonna be for the cops
because they're doing the most important job, and I'm concerned
with their morale. In terms of policies, he really can't
(24:13):
do anything. Okay. Yeah, we're gonna see a lot more
tense on sidewalks because he's not gonna sweep the homeless encampments.
So it's gonna be like we're living in colder Portland,
is what. We're gonna chase the New York's name to
Colder Portland for four years. But I think, and that's
why I'm happy Blakeman got in this week too. Is
(24:34):
that puts enough pressure on Hochel that she really can't
sell out to all of the tax things and far
left things he would need her to do to implement
his agenda, which might just save the city. Just those
two being in the race this early have to make
her a little more self conscious about blowing it. So
that's my home. I don't know who's gonna win, but
they might have saved us.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I don't know that phrase. Hochel can't sell out. Yeah,
you underestimate her ability to.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Se I think.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Do you remember do you remember when they were floating
congestion pricing and she goes, hard working New Yorkers deserve
a break. That's why we're charging you an extra nine
dollars instead of an extra fifteen.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Oh no, no, no, that's not a break.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
A break would be we're not going to do congestion pricing.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
But instead, no, she raised it by nine bucks.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, she's as big of a scam as there is.
No one deserves to lose an office more, you know,
and that it kills me. So hopefully, you know, the
Republicans get their act together, because if we can't win
now with forty percent of the state you know is
down in Florida right now, putting plastic over a sofa. Okay,
if she's not held to account for that, the Republicans
(25:45):
are never going to win a statewide election.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Hey, I'm looking at this. I'm just watching this as
on the screen right now. The big self driving cars
in instead of uber drivers, You're gonna have a self
driving uber all this stuff. Uh, you know, I don't
even trust that roomba vacuum cleaner doing it by itself.
So uh, but you used to drive a cab. What
you got to have a driver, don't you?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
One hundred percent? Uh? There? And it's it's for things
people forget about other services cab drivers offer. Okay, if
you get in a cab at two in the morning
and go, hey, where can I find a little action
around here? You know, the waimo doesn't know how to
get the AOC's district, but the cab driver does. You know,
you know those wonderful stories. At least once a year
(26:32):
a girl gives birth in a taxi because the driver
happened to be a licensed part surgeon in Syria. But
he can't, you know, work here. That ain't happening in
a weimo.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
And as I was telling.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
The lovely Carly shimkis on my show last Saturday. They
say the AI is so real, real now that it's
developing human feelings. Do you really want to be a
girl in a waymo that's now in love with you
and then going to let you out. You got to
explain that you're late for the meeting because my car
was putting the moves on me.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Come on, man, hey, Trump arrangement syndrome. It just gets
worse and worse and worse. Like Rosie O'Donnell, what the
hell is she doesn't shut up? If she hates him
so much, why does she keep talking about him?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
It's killing me. So she does this interview with Jim Acosta,
and the hardest part of the interview is figuring out
which one's Rosy and which one's Acosta. They have the
same glances on and they're sitting there, you know, hooting
and hollering about Trump. If the point of moving to
Ireland was to get away from him, you should be
done talking about it. But obviously we all knew that
(27:37):
was a stunt. But here's a pro tip for everybody listening.
If you are able to move out of the country
depending on who wins the election, you're doing fine in life.
Most people listening right now. Don't have the luxury to
just pick up and switch country. You got money to
do that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
So at least she held on.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
To some of the royalties. She didn't give them all
to her Xanax dealer.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Hey, Jimmy Faylis on WR every weeknight. Now, it's an
excellent show nine to midnight. What do you got on
tonight show?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Well, we got Kennedy coming by, which is going to
be great. And I believe you're gonna hear a cameo
from my wife, Jenny Fylah. It is her birthday today,
and you know, booking her on TV and radio is
way cheaper than buying her a gift mark. Come on, man,
let's go.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well, she seems she seems great, But why do you
keep having your wife? Wouldn't be great, isn't it. Don't
you want to get away from the wife. I've never
seen such a happy.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Marriage the way the way my life works with radio
five nights a week on O R and all the
TV they make me do it Fox and then I
go on the weekend. I won't usually doing stand up
at a theater somewhere. The actually is the only time
I see her is if I book her on TV.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So it works out for me, you know, and it
does a great show every Saturday night on the Fox
News channel ten to eleven. It's act the best monologue
that is the best monologue in TV. How long does
it take you to You don't write that all on
one day.
Speaker 11 (29:01):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
I do. I write it all myself, but I spend
the whole week putting it together, meaning, you know, figuring
out which stories rise to the level of everyone in
the country will know them. And once I've figured out
which stories kind of have the altitude, you just sit
down and piece it together. It's your own little narrative.
And it is the most fun I'll ever have in
show business doing that because it's just you. There's nobody
(29:23):
there to save you. There's no panelists to get out
of trouble. And again, if you're a live TV a
lot of these nights, if a joke don't work, you
gotta save it, you know, And it's one thing to
save it in a comedy club when you're just talking
to like, you know, one hundred screaming drunks and a
basslare red party drinking out of you know, Genitalia straws.
But it's another thing when there's a couple million people
watching and you're on the biggest channel in the world.
(29:44):
I love it. It's a very very high wire thing
to do, so I'm glad you appreciate it. Man.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, it's the best monologue in television. He writes it himself.
Stephen Colbert does a week week monologue. And I look,
he's got fourteen writers. What the hell do these fourteen
guys do?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Yeah? That that is the second biggest scam behind those
Somalians who got the billion. I actually think I held
the Somalians in higher regards than Colbert writers, because that's
technically a bigger rip off.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Oh that's a good point. So you gotta listen to
them every night, nine to midnight. And now your wife's birthday,
what do you do for her? We're you gonna get
her something. You're gonna take her out.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
You know what, she is going out. We're gonna go
out to dinner on Long Island. She wanted to see
a play, so I got tickets to see the Michael
Jackson play. Apparently, this Michael Jackson is so realistic people
keep their kids away from him. I can't stop it.
Then we'll go eat some We'll go eat some Italian
food on Long Island.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's gonna be great, very good. All right, it sounds
like a great way to celebrate. And tonight nine to midnight.
You having fun doing the radio show, right.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Oh, it's so great. I love OAR because it's my people,
you know what I mean. So it doesn't even feel
like a radio show. It just feels like you're talking
too much at your aunt's house. It's great, so great because.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
It's our people, you know, New York.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
We live in our own energy, you know, and there's
so many great people in the city in Staten Island.
And I love like, on the rare occasion that I'm
on the railroad, I will always meet an o R
listener that has something to say.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
About you and me, and it's my favorite figure.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
We're like a road do We're gonna have to start
playing Atlantic city scene. I'm like a Martin Lewis or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Definitely anytime. Well, if you haven't listened, Jimmy fayl is
on nine to midnight tonight every weeknight, nine to midnight.
It's an excellent show. It's very funny. You love it
nine to midnight, and make sure you're watch him on TV.

(31:40):
Jimmy Fayla, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
You're the man mark Off. Everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Take care. Yeah, excellent show nine to midnight. Don't miss it.
It's tonight on seven to ten.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Wo R plugged into Everything New York on the VOISU
New York.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
March Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Who you are? Hey, look at this AOC the socialist
Look at her in Puerto Rico. Fifty thousand dollars spent
on very luxurious hotels and meals. Spent fifty thousand in
Puerto Rico. No affordability crisis for AOC. Of course, that's
your money, that's taxpayer money, donations, donor money. Hey, we're
(32:23):
out of time. I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon,
every weekday ten to noon or remember, you can listen
to the show anytime you want, day or night. Just
get the podcast any place you get podcasts. So I'll
be back tomorrow ten. Talk to you then right here
on seven to ten wo
Okay, still Mark's among show on seven to tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, hey, two weeks till Christmas? Two weeks is Christmas Eve?
Two weeks from tonight? I'm not sure. I think Christmas Day,
so yeah, Christmas Eve is a Wednesday. Yeah, so this
is Thursday. It's two weeks from Christmas Day already, and
(00:32):
then three weeks from New Year's Day. Now, the problem
is New Year's Day, you get a new mayor. It's
inauguration Day. You're gonna get a new mayor on January first.
Guess who it is. Yeah, it's Mom Donnie with his
homeless camps everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Mayor Mom Donnie ensures that we connect those New Yorkers
with actual housing. We have to look at the efficacy
of the Adams Administration's policy on this. It is a
policy that did not connect a single New Yorker to
permanent housing in an entire year. That cannot be a
policy we continue.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
He's very much like a brilliant college professor. He speaks
beautifully and he uses words like efficacy. We have to
look at the efficacy of what we're doing. I don't
know what the hell efficacy is, but we're going to
look at it. And it sounds great and like any
good college professor, sounds brilliant, but in reality cannot execute
a damn thing, can't get anything done, has no experience
(01:31):
actually doing anything, just talks about it. He's looking at
the efficacy and meantime, can't actually do anything, doesn't know anything,
has no practical experience of any kind. The other thing
we find is that when Democrats get on this homeless thing,
they come up with programs to do something about it.
(01:51):
Deblasio had that Thrive NYC to help the homeless. A
billion dollars is poured into it. Not one homeless person
ever got helped, and they can't find the billion dollars.
They still don't know what happened to that billion dollars.
Remember he put his wife in charge of the program.
And of course you can always count on fake news
(02:13):
in the media to never ever ask anything about the
billion dollars and went missing. Can you imagine going to
Channel two, Channel four, Channel five, Channel seven, go to
the New York Times and saying, the mayor set up
a program for a billion dollars and it went missing.
Nobody can find the billion dollars, and all of them
(02:34):
say to you, what's for lunch today. They don't even
care that anyon want to know about it. If Donald
Trump lost a quarter, they'd send a thousand reporters to
go cover this story. They don't want to know a
damn thing about it. Look at Somalia community, Somalian community Minnesota.
Same thing that elon Omar, that wacko Well, actually might
(02:55):
not be as stupid as you think. Because eight billion
went missing. They think it's up to eight billion. It
was first it was a billion, and it was two billion,
other saying up to eight billion might have gone missing.
Same thing. They set up a program supposedly was taking
care of the homeless. Meantime, nobody can find any homeless
that got taken care of. Nobody can find any hint
of the money ever going to where it was supposed
to be. Billions, literally billions missing. New York Times, ABC, NBCCBS,
(03:24):
no interest. They don't even mention it's not a story
eight billion missing. Eh, We've got other things to talk about.
The Trump affordability. So, of course, when you lose eight
billion in tax pair of money, or in Manhattan or
in New York City, when you lose a billion in
tax pair of money, taxes go up, so that's the problem.
So you got Mom Donnie talking about the homeless and
(03:45):
he wants to set up a program to help them. Well,
you're going to see another billion go missing. It's it's
not that these people well I don't know, but it
might not be that they're putting the money in their pocket,
Doublazi or Mom Donnie. But it's contracts to hand down.
It's like that green scheme, the climate change, the reason
they push that so hard. It's billions and billions and
(04:06):
billions in contracts you can hand out. Now, if you're
not so honest, some of the money ends up in
your pocket. But if you're honest. You know, a guy
like Chuck Schumer or something like that, I don't think
he's personally crooked. He's a dirty, sleazy politician, but I
don't think he's you know, personally crooked. But what you
do is you hand out contracts to donors. Billions in contracts.
(04:29):
And every time you hand out one of those contracts
that donor owes you, you can call them every few weeks.
I need fifty thousand, I need one hundred thousand, I
need two hundred and fifty thousand. These guys get these
calls all the time, and when they say they need
the money, it's for the campaign for the senator's pack.
So the billionaire, you know, you can pick up the
(04:50):
phone and these type of politicians. The billionaire can call
this guy. He's got his cell number. You can call
him at midnight. I need a favor, I need to
change of regulation, I need a permit, I need this.
You can call them anytime. It'll get done, just like that.
But they'll have a guy call you every couple of weeks.
Can you do fifty? Can you do one hundred? Yeah,
I can do it all right. We'll call you back,
(05:11):
tell you who to write the check to, and they'll
call you back. Write the check to the super pack
this or this, and you keep writing these checks and
those packs pay for anything the senator needs as far
as campaign expenses or staff or consultants or anything like that, advertising,
whatever they need. So that's the racket, that's the green scheme.
(05:31):
They handed a billions in contracts and ten to twenty
percent of it came back to these politicians. Same thing
with these homeless programs. They'll hand out these contracts and
the money will come back to them in various ways.
The Momdani transition team, for instance, has already raised like
five million bucks a transition team. All they do is
(05:52):
they need a conference room. You know, if you really
your transition team needs a few offices in a conference
They got the big business guys who are don't you know,
charities do that all the time. They call the big
business guy, the CEO. Hey, we need the conference room, Sure,
come over, use it for six hours. We'll lend it
(06:12):
to you. We do that here at iHeart. We got
beautiful conference rooms. If there's a big charity we're trying
to help, you need to use our conference room, Come
use it. We got one that holds like two hundred people.
You can use that one. They do it all every company,
every major corporation does that. It's free. You don't need
to raise four million for your transition team five million.
But mom Donnie just did that in the last couple
(06:33):
of weeks. So this is good news. By the way,
that he turns out to be just as slippery and
greedy and as money making as everybody else, so that it
means the big business guys may be able to keep
him in line in various ways. Hey, the inauguration, as
they say, is New Year's Day. Eric Adams is the
(06:53):
current mayor, obviously, and he's saying now he might not
go to the inauguration. That would be quite a slap
in the face to mom. Donnie. Uh, he didn't say
he wouldn't go. He just said he hasn't decided. Well,
you're supposed to go, obviously, you go. He says he
hasn't decided if he'll go. You know that idiot. Brad
Lander left wing, very left wing. He was the controller.
(07:16):
You can get away with being a controller because nobody
knows what the hell of controller does controller controller controller,
You can say either one controller is perfectly acceptable. And
generally they're guys who have no personality. Remember Scott Stringer,
very nice guy. Scott string he wasn't a kup, just
a nice guy, but cute, a cute guy, but not
(07:37):
a lot of personality. Brad Lander the same way. He's
more he's not so cute. He's more of a silly
guy with no personality. Even in his campaign, it just
sounds like people kept saying, he sounds like mister Rogers.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I love the people who make this city what it is,
So I'm running for Connas because the challenges we face
can't be solved with strongly worded letters or high dollar fundraing.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, that's certainly forceful. Hey, I'm running for Congress. You
know why. I'll tell you why. Everybody kept telling him
just sound exactly like mister Rogers, and I guess he
had to answer that.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
But a mister Rogers that stands up and fights Ice
and fights Trump and fights Muss and try clubbed to
crops and fights a pad and said this.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Was our neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, that's even worse. Hey, But I stand there, I
fight Trump. I find I find sounds terrible.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
But a mister Rogers that stands up and fights Ice,
and fights Trump, and fights Muss and try clubbed to
crops and fights a pad and said this.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Was our.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Okay. But on the other hand, you know, Mike Tyson
has got to be the toughest guy ever. Mike Tyson.
You ever hear him on the radio? Hi, I'm Mike Tyson.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
Roy.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Can you imagine if you've got to fight with a
guy on the phone and he said, you can't talk
to me like that, and you didn't know it was
Mike Tyson. You just heard this voice. What are you
gonna do about it. I'm coming down, Yeah, you come
down here that it's Mike Tyson. But he's got to
run against Dan Goldman, Who's Now, this is a race
that doesn't matter either way because Lander is a very
(09:18):
far left wing kook, but so is Goldman, so it
doesn't matter who wins that thing. But Lander's going after Goldman.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
I mean Democrats choosing not to support the Democratic nominee
for mayor of New York City in a general election. Yeah,
I think that was a failure that showed that we
need something different.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
He does sound like it sounds like Charles Nelson Riley
without without the charm. So Goldman going after him.
Speaker 10 (09:44):
Now, I welcome Brad to the race. I'm not really
thinking about this right now. I'm in Washington, really focused
on making sure that healthcare can will not be taken
away from millions of people. We are focused on the
immigration ragnet that Donald Trump is sweeping the country with.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, here's the problem. Goldman is a much better looking
guy than Lander, and he's got a much better voice.
So he looks good, he sounds good. You getting a
debate and Goldman's talking to mile a minute, We're gonna
do this in this, and then we have Lander talks
like this. It's not gonna work out too well.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I love the people who make this city what it is.
So I'm running for Congress.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm running for Congress. And then Goldman talks like this.
I think Goldman wins that debate easily. He does sound
like mister Rogers. I don't hear it this again. Let
me no, that's the same one. Uh yeah, it's gonna
be a problem for him. He's not gonna do well,
Brad Lander, but he's gonna be like the next Scott Stringer.
(10:46):
These controllers. That's the problem of that job. You end
up running every four years, every two years for anything
and everything, and it goes nowhere. You always lose every time. Hey,
that Luigi Mangione got caught in Pennsylvania, goes to McDonald's
and they're starting to release all the material. You know,
(11:07):
he's in McDonald's. This is kind of crazy. He's in McDonald's.
You know, a chain, a fast food, big chain like
that McDonald's. You got to figure they got security cameras everywhere,
they probably got video over every inch of the place.
And he's just sitting there eating. He's not wearing sunglasses.
He's not wearing a hat, he's not trying to describe
(11:28):
the disguise himself. So if you listen to the nine
to one one calls from the manager, she says, a
lot of people eating here. Many of our customers think
he looks like the CEO assassin from New York. So
they recognized him even in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania.
And if you look at the interviews with these people,
(11:51):
it was the eyebrows. You know, he has these unusually thick, big, bushy,
weird eyebrows. So they said that was the first thing
he said he look like. And then they saw the
same exact eyebrows, which are very unusual, and that's why
they knew it was him. So the guy's not that bright.
First of all, you got those big eyebrows, put on
some sunglasses so people can't see him, or you know,
(12:12):
dye your hair a different color and shave off the eyebrows,
or cut him down, you know, get rid of the
eyebrows and your dye your hair looked at you know,
even David Jensen in The Fugitive New to do that. So,
or you know, wear a hat and sunglasses when you're
going to be sitting in a McDonald's with a lot
of people around, so he got himself caught. But again,
(12:34):
you know, he wasn't I guess the brightest assassin in
the world. You know, it's right across the street from
where we are. Now we can go over that window
and see the spot where he did the shooting. And
it's sixth Avenue and fifty fifth Street, and it's got
surveillance cameras over every inch of it. So when you
do anything there, there's gonna be video of you doing it.
(12:54):
So I don't know how any chance of beating the case.
It's all on video. So, hey, Time Magazine. You remember
Time Magazine? Anybody remember that They still do this thing
called Time Magazine. I don't know who sees it or why,
but they still do the Man of the Year, the
Woman of the Year. Well now you got to call
it the person of the Year, Person of the year.
This year, the architects of AI. And then there's a
(13:19):
picture of eleven guys who you never heard of, you
don't know. Apparently they created AI. So but it's Time Magazine.
Twelve people see it, eleven of whom work there at
Time Magazine. Hey, Rosanna Scatto, Good Day New York. We
love Rosanna Scatto. Her family owns a wonderful restaurant called Fresco.
(13:40):
It's on fifty second Street. It's one of the great
Italian restaurants in New York. It's a lot of famous faces.
I was there yesterday. It's a great restaurant, Fresco, you
know it. It's been there for I think thirty years now, no,
well actually more than I remember going to the thirtieth
anniversary party, and that was a couple of years ago.
So they're in the news today because they had a
woman who I guess this is the accountant, the bookkeeper.
(14:03):
And it looks like this bookkeeper was stealing money. You know,
when you're the bookkeeper for a big thing like that,
you can make you can embezzle, you can. And it
looked like she took some money that was meant for tips.
It looked like she wrote checks to herself. It looks
like she siphoned cash out of thing. Well, how much
(14:23):
did she get? How much could you embezzle? Look at
this two point five million dollars was embezzled. Now this
is over a seven year period, but still that would
be about three hundred and fifty thousand a year that
she was embezzling. Pretty good. Well, they must make a
lot of money at this restaurant if they didn't notice
a two point five million missing. But they caught her. Finally,
(14:45):
she's been turned over to the DA Alvin Bragg will
prosecute her. Looks pretty bad for her. The embezzled funds,
it says, paid for her lifestyle away from work, including
one hundred thousand she used to buy a house Pennsylvania
with her husband. So a prosecutor's got all this. They
caught her. She here's the picture. They don't recognize her.
(15:07):
She didn't look familiar, very heavy. She might have been
rating that refrigerator there too. Some food might be missing.
I would take a look at that, But they got her.
I don't see how she gets out of this. This
is pretty bad. Hey, we'll take some Jimmy Faylor will
be with us in a few minutes. We'll take some calls.
Next eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
is the number? Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Give WR A bree said on the iHeartRadio app to

accent is dead earl.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's why I couldn't understand that. Now the
New York New York accent is everywhere. It's it doesn't
go away. You know, you go to Long Island. You
go to Long Island standing in the American and you
see the most beautifully dressed woman, so elegant. You walk
up and say, hey, how are you? And she says,
how are ye? And the accent is right there?
Speaker 4 (16:19):

You made a great point earlier about tying in the
economy on bullshoe killing bush about the time. I remember
back then people run around saying, Oh, it couldn't get
much worse, couldn't get much worse. And I said, really
at that time, which what do.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You want to talk?
Speaker 11 (17:13):
Boat?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Where are you right now? I hear all this noise
back there.
Speaker 11 (17:17):
Actually I'm in Delaware? But stop ragging?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
What are you doing? What are you doing in Delaware?
I sound like the irishman? What are you doing in Delaware?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I believe lad place?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
What I would?
Speaker 11 (17:32):
I would rather be in Maryland. That's where I'm headed.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, why are you in Delaware? Okay? You don't want
to say? All right, you don't have to answer. You've
got a little what are you making? A little house call?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
There?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I got it, I got it all right, you know,
don't answer you. Thanks for calling. Let's go to uh
Marco in East Hanover, Marco. How you doing good morning?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Just quick question, what do you think New York City
is going to look like in a year from now?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It'll look like after the first year at the Blasio.
It's going to be the same as Deblasio, which wasn't good,
but you got through it. You got through eight years
at de Blasio.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yeah, but we.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
All the crime in the seventies under Beam and Koch
and Viacan's I mean right now, in a year from now,
I think New York City, short of a blackout and
a serial killer on the loose, is going to catapult
the right back to nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
No, it won't. You remember, you got a lot of
the all these top people in the Mamdania misters, we're
all from the Deblasio administration. So they'll do what they
did there. Hey, one thing about these crazy socialists, they
do tend to put in an okay police commissioners. You know,
remember when the Deblasio came in. He did bring in
Bill Bratton. You know he kind of restricted him a little,
but you had a decent police commissioner. And you're gonna
(18:45):
have Jessica Tish here. She'll be there at least the
first year. And if if she leaves, I saw who
his next choice would be. And it's not a bad choice.
It's a I don't forget his name. He's Suffolk County
Police Commissioner. He was with the NYPD for years, so
it'll just be like a Deblasi administration, which wasn't good.
(19:05):
It was bad, but we got through it all right.
Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 12 (19:11):
Good morning, Mark, Good morning Marra. Mark speaking about this
accounting who built the restaurant for two and a half
million dollars and affordability. Yesterday I was talking to Mara
about a conversation I had about thirty five years ago
with a wise guy that I knew who in his Lady.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Listen, I can't believe you would associate with a known criminal.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Well, anyway, I like you. This guy in his later years,
when he was young, he was the enforcer for one
of the families, and then he went into loan shocking,
and in later years when he was an old man,
he had a bar and a restaurant. So one night
and he was a friend of the family. So one
night I'm in his restaurant having drinks. He was telling
(20:00):
me that even in the fifties there was this difference
in affordability. He was telling me the accountant for one
of the families who had a big legit accounting agency. Now,
you remember what Michael Corleoni said when he left New York.
He said that when he went to Vegas, he said,
in ten years, the Corleone family will be mainly legit.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
So they all say that nothing personal say so.
Speaker 12 (20:28):
Anyway, this guy was, this exub forser, was telling me
that the accountant who had this big agency, he lived
back in the fifties on certain place. And he told
me back then the rents were three hundred dollars on something.
(20:48):
This is in the fifties. And meanwhile, in the rest
of New York City you could get an apartment sometimes
even with gas and electricity, for fifty dollars. But since
this guy had to keep up the air and the
look of legitimacy, he lived on some place. Now, isn't
that income in equality? That show what it's.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
That way, you got very expensive neighborhoods, you.
Speaker 12 (21:12):
Got very interesting exactly my point, Mark, Well, Vincent, we
got it. That's what I was telling Mara, this idea
of everybody's got a Ford.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
No, he's supposed to have a very expensive neighbor's. Vincent,
we gotta go, we gotta gotta do the news, but
great call is always when we come back. Jimmy Fayla
will be with us next on seven to ten wo R.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Now more Marks alone on seventen WR.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Well, you know, the great Jimmy Fayla is now on
w R every weeknight nine to Midnight's an excellent show,
very funny, very interesting, nine to midnight tonight every weeknight. Hey,
make sure you watch his Saturday night show on the
Fox News Channel. Best late night show, funniest monologue in television.
It's Saturday Night's ten o'clock on the Fox News Channel.
(21:58):
Jimmy Fayla, How you doing.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I'm doing good. I will have you know. I rode
in the Fox Today and the Long Island Railroad with
two of your biggest fans.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Oh oh, so they were great.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
They were Long Island people. I did not get names,
but I did take a picture and they they said,
we just want to say we love you on Saturday night,
and we love that you put your wife and your
kid on TV. But I have to tell you we
always listen to you on Mark Simone. I go, well,
today's Thursday, and you don't look like you have a
radio on you and they died laughing. So their perfect
(22:30):
attendance might have dropped today, but they were, man, were
they all over you? Like, in all honesty, if I
would have met them earlier in the train, they probably
would have bought my ticket. So take a bow, simone,
take a bow.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You're a big star to me. Feel like, what are
you doing riding on the train.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Last night? Was the Hawk the Fox News Christmas party? Yeah,
and I was told I should not be operating heavy
machinery for at least forty eight hours after what we're
on at that open bar.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I've been going to all these Christmas parties. It really
gets to you after a while. You how much can
you eat? How much can you drink? What do you
give people advice on how to get through these Christmas parties?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Well, this is the truth thing you need to do
because everybody's like, you know, etiquette at Christmas parties. Go
and have fun. Don't worry about you know, having a
drink or two, that's not the issue. You just don't
want to be the person that everyone's talking about the
next day. You know, every company Christmas party ends with
people going, hey, did you see so and so last night? Okay,
(23:33):
And if you don't know who so and so is
it was you? Okay, So sing all the Christmas carols
you want. Just don't be the guy with the Rudolph
Antlers on standing on.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Top of the bar, and you'll be fine. Hey, you know,
in three weeks, Mom Donnie gets inaugurated. What the hell
are we going to do?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Oh, that's why the Statue of Liberty is wearing a burke.
I was confused. I'm kidding, confused. What are we gonna do?
This is the truth, man, Okay. My biggest concern as
a New Yorker is always gonna be for the cops
because they're doing the most important job, and I'm concerned
with their morale. In terms of policies, he really can't
(24:13):
do anything. Okay. Yeah, we're gonna see a lot more
tense on sidewalks because he's not gonna sweep the homeless encampments.
So it's gonna be like we're living in colder Portland,
is what. We're gonna chase the New York's name to
Colder Portland for four years. But I think, and that's
why I'm happy Blakeman got in this week too. Is
(24:34):
that puts enough pressure on Hochel that she really can't
sell out to all of the tax things and far
left things he would need her to do to implement
his agenda, which might just save the city. Just those
two being in the race this early have to make
her a little more self conscious about blowing it. So
that's my home. I don't know who's gonna win, but
they might have saved us.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I don't know that phrase. Hochel can't sell out. Yeah,
you underestimate her ability to.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Se I think.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Do you remember do you remember when they were floating
congestion pricing and she goes, hard working New Yorkers deserve
a break. That's why we're charging you an extra nine
dollars instead of an extra fifteen.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Oh no, no, no, that's not a break.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
A break would be we're not going to do congestion pricing.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
But instead, no, she raised it by nine bucks.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, she's as big of a scam as there is.
No one deserves to lose an office more, you know,
and that it kills me. So hopefully, you know, the
Republicans get their act together, because if we can't win
now with forty percent of the state you know is
down in Florida right now, putting plastic over a sofa. Okay,
if she's not held to account for that, the Republicans
(25:45):
are never going to win a statewide election.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Hey, I'm looking at this. I'm just watching this as
on the screen right now. The big self driving cars
in instead of uber drivers, You're gonna have a self
driving uber all this stuff. Uh, you know, I don't
even trust that roomba vacuum cleaner doing it by itself.
So uh, but you used to drive a cab. What
you got to have a driver, don't you?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
One hundred percent? Uh? There? And it's it's for things
people forget about other services cab drivers offer. Okay, if
you get in a cab at two in the morning
and go, hey, where can I find a little action
around here? You know, the waimo doesn't know how to
get the AOC's district, but the cab driver does. You know,
you know those wonderful stories. At least once a year
(26:32):
a girl gives birth in a taxi because the driver
happened to be a licensed part surgeon in Syria. But
he can't, you know, work here. That ain't happening in
a weimo.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
And as I was telling.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
The lovely Carly shimkis on my show last Saturday. They
say the AI is so real, real now that it's
developing human feelings. Do you really want to be a
girl in a waymo that's now in love with you
and then going to let you out. You got to
explain that you're late for the meeting because my car
was putting the moves on me.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Come on, man, hey, Trump arrangement syndrome. It just gets
worse and worse and worse. Like Rosie O'Donnell, what the
hell is she doesn't shut up? If she hates him
so much, why does she keep talking about him?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
It's killing me. So she does this interview with Jim Acosta,
and the hardest part of the interview is figuring out
which one's Rosy and which one's Acosta. They have the
same glances on and they're sitting there, you know, hooting
and hollering about Trump. If the point of moving to
Ireland was to get away from him, you should be
done talking about it. But obviously we all knew that
(27:37):
was a stunt. But here's a pro tip for everybody listening.
If you are able to move out of the country
depending on who wins the election, you're doing fine in life.
Most people listening right now. Don't have the luxury to
just pick up and switch country. You got money to
do that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
So at least she held on.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
To some of the royalties. She didn't give them all
to her Xanax dealer.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Hey, Jimmy Faylis on WR every weeknight. Now, it's an
excellent show nine to midnight. What do you got on
tonight show?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Well, we got Kennedy coming by, which is going to
be great. And I believe you're gonna hear a cameo
from my wife, Jenny Fylah. It is her birthday today,
and you know, booking her on TV and radio is
way cheaper than buying her a gift mark. Come on, man,
let's go.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well, she seems she seems great, But why do you
keep having your wife? Wouldn't be great, isn't it. Don't
you want to get away from the wife. I've never
seen such a happy.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Marriage the way the way my life works with radio
five nights a week on O R and all the
TV they make me do it Fox and then I
go on the weekend. I won't usually doing stand up
at a theater somewhere. The actually is the only time
I see her is if I book her on TV.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So it works out for me, you know, and it
does a great show every Saturday night on the Fox
News channel ten to eleven. It's act the best monologue
that is the best monologue in TV. How long does
it take you to You don't write that all on
one day.
Speaker 11 (29:01):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
I do. I write it all myself, but I spend
the whole week putting it together, meaning, you know, figuring
out which stories rise to the level of everyone in
the country will know them. And once I've figured out
which stories kind of have the altitude, you just sit
down and piece it together. It's your own little narrative.
And it is the most fun I'll ever have in
show business doing that because it's just you. There's nobody
(29:23):
there to save you. There's no panelists to get out
of trouble. And again, if you're a live TV a
lot of these nights, if a joke don't work, you
gotta save it, you know, And it's one thing to
save it in a comedy club when you're just talking
to like, you know, one hundred screaming drunks and a
basslare red party drinking out of you know, Genitalia straws.
But it's another thing when there's a couple million people
watching and you're on the biggest channel in the world.
(29:44):
I love it. It's a very very high wire thing
to do, so I'm glad you appreciate it. Man.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, it's the best monologue in television. He writes it himself.
Stephen Colbert does a week week monologue. And I look,
he's got fourteen writers. What the hell do these fourteen
guys do?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Yeah? That that is the second biggest scam behind those
Somalians who got the billion. I actually think I held
the Somalians in higher regards than Colbert writers, because that's
technically a bigger rip off.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Oh that's a good point. So you gotta listen to
them every night, nine to midnight. And now your wife's birthday,
what do you do for her? We're you gonna get
her something. You're gonna take her out.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
You know what, she is going out. We're gonna go
out to dinner on Long Island. She wanted to see
a play, so I got tickets to see the Michael
Jackson play. Apparently, this Michael Jackson is so realistic people
keep their kids away from him. I can't stop it.
Then we'll go eat some We'll go eat some Italian
food on Long Island.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's gonna be great, very good. All right, it sounds
like a great way to celebrate. And tonight nine to midnight.
You having fun doing the radio show, right.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Oh, it's so great. I love OAR because it's my people,
you know what I mean. So it doesn't even feel
like a radio show. It just feels like you're talking
too much at your aunt's house. It's great, so great because.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
It's our people, you know, New York.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
We live in our own energy, you know, and there's
so many great people in the city in Staten Island.
And I love like, on the rare occasion that I'm
on the railroad, I will always meet an o R
listener that has something to say.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
About you and me, and it's my favorite figure.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
We're like a road do We're gonna have to start
playing Atlantic city scene. I'm like a Martin Lewis or
something like that.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
