Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now on the Voice of New York. It's the Mark
Simone Show on seven to ten. Woor hey, it's one day.
We got a lot to get to. We'll get to Gaza,
We'll get to the shutdown. We'll get to Portland, We'll
get to MSNBC, Taylor Swift, Mark Sanchez, We'll get to

(00:23):
Netflix has seven big problems. We got lots to talk
about today. We'll get to the mayoral race. Throughout the program.
There's all kinds of myths in this mayoral race. Why
if only Eric Adams would drop out, that would help Cuomo,
then Cuomo could well. First of all, Eric Adams did
drop out. You'll see this coming the polling pretty soon.

(00:44):
This is the myth that people don't get. If Eric
Adams were to drop out, which he did, the votes
don't go to Cuomo. He might pick up a couple,
but half those Adams votes will go to Mom Donnie.
It's not going to change much. You know. He keeps
saying Curtis, if only Curtis would get out. If Curtis
gets out, the votes are not going to Andrew Cuomo.
Curtis's voters aren't switching to Andrew Cuomo. They hate Andrew Cuomo.

(01:07):
At best, they'll just stay home. That'll be it. So
these getting these people to drop out will not affect
the race. But we'll get to the mayor ole race
in detail coming up. President Trump, looks like tomorrow's the end. Well,
tomorrow is the anniversary of October seventh, two year anniversary.
It looks like the deal is going to happen. Now

(01:27):
Hamas is holding out. You got to remember Hamas the
most awful, evil, treacherous, dirtiest, filthiest snakes. So when you
make an agreement with them, I don't know what that's
going to do in the long run. It may get
the hostages out right away, that'll be good. Benjamin Natya,
who had to really really be pressured into it by

(01:49):
Donald Trump basically screaming at him, stop being according to
this exchange, stop being so f a negative. It's a win.
Take it. You're not going to ever do any better
than this. And it looks like it's a pretty good deal.
And if there's delays, that's okay too. Let Israel go
in there and keep finishing up the job. But we'll

(02:09):
see what happens. It'll happen probably in the next couple
of days. Hey, the government shutdown. You know, it's fascinating
if you watch the news, if you watch anything, even
the left left, left wing Morning Joe type shows. The
government shutdown was like the twenty seventh story buried somewhere
half an hour into the show. It's not even a
story anymore. You had that Hakeem Jeffreys all over television

(02:33):
and Schumer yelling everybody's going to die. This is the
worst crisis. Everybody's gonna die. Then Friday they said, we're
off for the weekend. We'll see you next week, and
they left for the weekend. If everybody's going to die,
but we're taking a couple of days off, be back
next week. It's a strange and you can blame Republicans
for that too. They should have been demanding a vote

(02:55):
every second. But the government shutdown is not affecting everybody.
It'll drag on, it doesn't mean much. Do you remember
where you were December twenty eighteen. No, Well, that was
when we had the longest government shutdown ever, thirty five days.
You don't even remember it. You've been through literally a
dozen shutdowns, you don't remember any of them. So don't

(03:16):
worry about it. What else is going on. This is
great news. MSNBC has been thrown out of NBC. NBC
wants nothing to do with MSNBC. They've been told to
get the hell out of the building, get that peacock
off your logo, take our name out of there. It's

(03:37):
going step by step by step. So this week is
when they pull away all of NBC news access from MSNBC.
You know, MSNBC tries to they make it look like
there's some sort of a news network. It's just very,
very very left wing site. Some call it a propaganda site,
but it's extremely slanted pro Democrat stuff. But because they

(04:03):
can keep switching now our NBC News correspondent and then
they can put the NBC News logo, people get the
impression of watching some sort of a news network. It's
not in any way a news network. So this is
the week they'll start taking away every resource of NBC News.
They will not be able to cut to an NBC
News correspondent or say NBC News. They'll have to hire

(04:25):
their own correspondents. They've also they're getting tossed out of
the building over there in Rockefeller Center. They're moving to
temporary studios in Times Square, they by the end of
the year have to stop saying MSNBC. The new name
will be ms NOW. And we've finally been told what
the now will stand for. Ms NOW will stand for.

(04:50):
This is ridiculous. It will stand for my source news
Opinion World. Huh, what the hell does that mean? My
source new Who's opinion world? This is how bad things
are over there. This is all they could come up with.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
This.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
They had a month to work on this, My source
News Opinion World doesn't even make any sense. Hey, this
just happened. Moments ago. Gallaine Maxwell had gone to the
Supreme Court to get her conviction overturned. Supreme Court turned
her down. So that's it as far as getting the
conviction overturned. Supreme Court rejected her bid to do that. Hey,

(05:28):
the Charlie kirkshooter apparently the assassin. They've absolutely confirmed everything
about him being there. I guess he didn't take his
cell phone, you know, they would have a GPS tracker
in it, but they were able to confirm it. The campus.
College campuses don't have great security, but they do have
great surveillance video, and they've used the surveillance video. They've

(05:50):
tracked the shooter every inch of the way. They know
exactly what he did. Apparently came a couple hours before
the shooting, walked around, scoped out the whole area, left,
changed his clothes to all that black, and then came
back and that's when it happened. They've also got his footprints.
He was wearing these Converse sneakers, which they have and
they absolutely match all the footprints on the roof and everywhere.

(06:15):
So it looks like a sure conviction for this guy.
You know, normally if you have an assassination, there's NonStop
coverage of the assassin. Remember Lee Harvey Oswald. They delve
into all these reports and stories about Oswald, has passed
his life, his family is This same thing happened with
Sirhan Sirhan and James Earl Ray. But because these are

(06:37):
Republicans that are targets, no coverage, no coverage the Trump
shooting in Pennsylvania. Have you ever heard one word about
the assassin, instant cover up, not a word about it, nothing,
not even mentioned second Trump shooter, not a word of
coverage about who the guy is or anything about him.
And the same thing with this Charlie Kirk shooter. No

(07:00):
coverage at all. Speaking to no coverage. Here's the most
uncovered story, no coverage at all of this from mainstream media.
There's a Virginia race, governor's race, attorney general's race, and
the Democratic candidate, Attorney General j Jones, gets caught calling
for assassination, endorsing assassination of Republicans. They find his text

(07:24):
messages where he's talking about certain Republicans and he says
things like two bullets in the head for this guy
and one bullet for his family. Literally just talking about assassination,
endorsing assassinations. So everybody calling, well not everybody, but Republicans
calling for this Jay Jones to drop out of the race,
and not a word from Democrats about it. Democrats should

(07:48):
be condemning this kind of stuff, this calling for assassination.
Nothing from them. The only Democrat that commented on it
tried to defend it, said, well, it was a private conversation.
But even the Sunday shows would not cover this story.
One of the panelists sorts of very end to meet
the press brought it up and the subject was quickly changed.

(08:10):
But it's amazing what they will not cover. They just
bury this stuff. There's another story you'll never see you
won't read this anywhere. Netflix stock is plunging because of
their pro trans stuff. They've been promoting transgender stuff, offending
a lot of the audience. It's no need to promote this,

(08:32):
but I don't know why, but Netflix has been doing it.
The stock is plunging as a result. You got to
get that book, Charlie Gasprino's book, Go Woke, Go Broke.
Read the book. It's not going to help any company
to go woke. Chub Insurance that's considered the finest insurance company, Chubb.
You know, you got all your regular insurance companies, but

(08:53):
there's AIG is very good and all that, but Chubb
is like the gold standard. But he gives better coverage
than Chubb. It's expensive, you gotta pay a lot more,
and they turned down a lot of people. It's not
easy to get them. But now they're under fire. They
got a new chairman apparently trying to take them woke.
Chubb becoming woke. Now watch this or you got the

(09:14):
greatest insurance company there is. Watch watch this guy. I'll
ruin this company with his woke nonsense. Hey speaking in
which Jane Goodall, well he hears these wonderful things about
Jane Goodall. Look at her parting words were her final words.
She'd like to send Musk up in one of his
spaceships with Trump putin and net Yahoo. In other words,

(09:35):
this is what she These are the people she hates
in life, Musk Trump Putin Okay, I can understand Putin,
but net Nyaho. That's the final words from Jane Goodall.
So don't nominate her for sainthood just yet. Hey, mom,
Donnie is in Uganda, his home country. He's a citizen

(09:59):
of Ugan. You know, besides the political nonsense of mom Donnie,
have we ever had a mayoral candidate who is just
a little kid. He's thirty four years old. This would
be his first job. Have we ever had a mayoral
candidate who just became a citizen a few minutes ago,
became a citizen just a couple of years ago, has
dual citizenship. I mean, of course, you got a total

(10:22):
corruption of the media, no coverage of this, nobody going
after any of this. But he was in Uganda, and
there's a woman there who is backing this legislation to
have you put in jail for being gay. If you're gay,
you go to prison. That's it, and here he was
smiling and hugging her and arm around her, smiling for

(10:43):
a picture. Now, of course he's now being asked about it.
I was in the airport, she came up to me.
I didn't know who she was. Yeah, nobody's buying that. Hey,
they're going back to This is when you're really getting weak.
They're going back to attacking anybody who doesn't pronounce his
name correctly. If you don't say my Donnie correctly. Remember
the debates Cuomo couldn't pronounce his name, kept saying Mandanni

(11:05):
or whatever. Uh, I like the Al Sharpton pronounce You
remember Al Sharpton called him man Danny. But there's a
whole flack now. But if you don't get his name right,
take a listen.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
The President reserves the right to get involved in racist
or not get involved in racist, although he has gone
as far to say he absolutely does not want to
see uh.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Zimdamidami Zoronda Mandami zoron Maundami. His name is Zorn Mandanie,
mister Mandami. He's very good on Twitter and with videos,
but he actually produces nothing.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
The name is mom, Donnie, m A M D A N.
I you should learn how to say it, because we
got to get it right.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, calm down, and when you're really weak, deep down.
This is what Kamala Harris did. Remember you got yelled
at if you didn't pronounce your name correctly. I still
don't notice it. Kamala, Kamala, Kamala. If you said Kamala,
you were practically run out of the country. It was
the worst thing in the world. And everybody mispronounced her name.
Obama mispronounced her name. You know, when she was sworn

(12:09):
in as vice president, was just a soda my air
that swore her in. And if you go back and
check the swearing in, listen to the swearing in. She says, Kamela.
She gets it wrong. So but you can't worry about this.
Here's mom Donnie about this subject.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
What I take offense to is not someone's initial mispronunciation
of my name. What I take offense to is the repeated,
intentional Like Andrew Cuomo, this is someone who has made
it a part of his politics to deny even the
basic modicum of dignity to me as someone who is
running in the same race. And I think what is

(12:48):
so troubling is not what it means for me as
an individual. But it's the fact that this is the
experience of so many.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I see you sounded a little pompous and pious.
I don't think he's trying to take your dignity away.
He just honestly doesn't know how the hell to pronounce
your name. So hey. Saturday Night Live debuted the season.
This is season fifty one. There wasn't mom Donnie, or
as Al Sharpton would say, mam dammy. There was a
character based on him New York.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
New York candidate Zoran Mam Donnie ran an ah.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
He ran an ad during an episode of Golden Bachelor,
in which he said, New York, will you accept this roles?
Not to be outdone, Andrew Cuomo ran an ad in
which he said, Hanker, all.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Right, it's not that funny, but for Saturday Night Live,
it's funny. You know, in year three it wouldn't have
made it into the final cut. But Saturday Night in
life not so funny anymore. Uh, that makes it now.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Eric Adams, New York maya Eric Adams has ended his
re election bid, citing an official reason. Citing an official
reason of too much swagger for.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Y'all again, that wouldn't have made it into the final
cut year three to twenty six. But it's now you're
fifty one. They'll run out of gas. They're running on fumes,
and that's about as good as a guess. Now, hey,
they had Bad Bunny as the host this past week.
You know, he's really not bad that Bad Bunny. Musically

(14:15):
he's great and as far as I mean he's not
a brilliant stand up comedian with the monologue, but the sketches,
the guy was great. He's got a lot of charm.
He's the argument is he shouldn't be the super Bowl halftime.
You could make that case. He's not big enough to
be the super Bowl halftime. He's big enough to be
a host of Saturday Night Live because ninety percent of
the time when you watch that in Night Live, you know,

(14:37):
you know you're getting older when you don't know who
the musical guests are. You know you're getting much older
when you don't know who the hosts are. So but
usually NFL halftime he's like the biggest star, like the
top tier. He's big Bad Bunny, but he's not absolute
top two. I mean, it really should have been Taylor
Swift this year. But I guess, I guess you got

(14:59):
too big and be the NFL halftime show. Hey, we'll
take some calls next. Michael Goodman will be with us
in a few minutes. Scott Shannon will be with us later.
We'll talk about the Taylor Swift release and what it's
actually done, and we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten
