Speaker 1 (00:01):
He's more Mark.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's the Marximone Show on seven tenor.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Woll Hey loves to get too. If you're interested in
plastic surgery, be listening. Later in this hour, we'll get
to the Meyrill Race. We'll get back to that and
a whole lot more. You know, the sombrero videos are
the best part of the shutdown. Don't worry about a shutdown.
We have a government shutdown every couple of years. Happens

(00:29):
all the time. You've been through a dozen of them.
You don't even remember any of them. Remember twenty eighteen, No,
that was the longest one ever, thirty five days. That
was during Trump's first term. So you'll get through this
just fine. But the best part was the It started
with Hakeem Jeffries, who's this pompous, way too serious, humorless

(00:49):
guy who stands up there and says everybody's gonna die. Well,
they made a video with him with a sombrero on
and a Mexican looking mustache and this great music. I
love this music. But you got to go watch them.
They're hysterical to look at. They're very very Wait a minute,
how do I stop this thing? I'm playing it on

(01:11):
my phone. I can't stop it, but go watch them.
They're up on my Twitter. The sombrero videos of Hakim Jeffreys,
of Schumer, there's one of every Democrat. They're hysterical. Now
then these pompous, humorless democrats are all over MSNBC and
everywhere going it's this bigoted, the bigotry of these videos.

(01:32):
It's racist, it's bigotry. It's this, it's a he copied
it from you, guys. You guys did it to him.
He copied it from you. Do you remember there was
a they tried this for two seconds, Taco Trump. What
did taco stand for? Trump? Always chickens out, But they
kept calling him Taco Trump. And they put out millions
of videos of him with a sombrero, him with the mustache,

(01:53):
him with the Mexican music, and him on a taco truck.
It was Taco Trump. There were millions and millions of videos.
That's where he got the idea. He's using your technique.
So if it's just disgusting and bigoted, you guys are
the ones that invented it, so blame yourselves. In Chicago

(02:14):
right now, there's big protesting at an ice facility. Crazy
left wing Democrats protesting Ice. It's pretty funny if you
think about it, these left wing, these Democrats yelling at
the Ice Curt, what are you doing enforcing the law?
Cut that out, Stop enforcing the law. It's just getting

(02:35):
more and more ridiculous, which is great. As you head
to the midterm elections, Democrats will wipe themselves out. Traditionally,
a new president loses the Congress in a mid term
two years in. There are exceptions. This will probably be one.
Democrats going so far to the left they'll never find
their way back to the middle and sanity. You know,

(02:57):
we're talking about the mayoral race last hour. Here's there's
problem with Cuomo. Here's this big problem besides the fact
everybody hates him. He's creepy, and besides the fact that
he's made so many enemies. You know, you notice he's
got these endorsements the union, electrical workers Union, the plumbers union.
What the hell do I care what the plumbers union thinks.

(03:17):
I mean, if I need my sink fixed, I care
what they think. But the political situation, I don't go
to the plumbers union anytime I'm trying to decide a
political issue. I don't call my electrician. I don't call
the plumber and ask him about so who cares what
these unions do. The big endorsements would come from big leaders,
especially in all Beney and all that, but they all

(03:39):
hated him. Cuomo threatened everybody who was the biggest bully there.
So the problem is he's running against this very left
wing socialist Kami mam Dami or is Al Sharpton called
him Mam Dammy Mamdanni. And Cuomo is now running as
the centrist, old fashioned, middle of the road Democrat, which
is a total lie. He's putting on this act and

(04:01):
it's killing him with Democrats as the problem is, he
looks old. He's got that same shirt that Fredo wore
in The Godfather in Cuba, and he just looks old
and tired, like an old dinosaur. And if he just
ran as himself, he's more to the left than Mam Donnie.
Nobody's done more left wing crazy things in office than Cuomo.

(04:24):
Cuomo's the guy that gave us no bail, no jail.
Culoma was the guy that literally just closed the prisons
and let the prisoners out. If he would just do
that stuff, he could capture these young Mam Damie voters.
You know, that would be the campaign that would win
if he actually tried that, if he just went to
them and said, you know he's talking about it, I've

(04:44):
actually done it, I can get it done. I'm the
only one that's actually let prisoners out. I'm the only
one that's defund I've actually defunded the cops. It'd be
a campaign that would win these crazy left wing and
he's afraid to do that for all kinds of reasons.
But listen, this is actual Cuomo video from back then
when he was the most radical governor ever. Listened to

(05:04):
this video. If he ran this in a campaign ad,
he could win those young social assistant to Cuomo as governor.
The crazy things he did. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
where it's the sound here?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
It is this bail system once in for all.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Wait, hang on, hang on, I'll get it.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's whether you're rich or poor. We're gonna on the
cash bail system once in for all. We're going to
do it in New York, and we're going to do
it this year. We have to have moral alternatives to incarceration,
strict timelines on court dates, and we have to eliminate

(05:45):
the racial bias that is pervasive in our criminal justice system.
As governor of the State of New York, I can't
tell you how proud I am to have closed more
prisons than any governor in the history of the state.
And I'm not done yet.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Now, this is a radical, radical, left wing, far left guy.
If he would just go back to being himself, run
that video, run it as your campaign had, you'll steal
votes from Mom Donnie. That's how you could really stop
Mom Donnie. If Cuomo ran as himself that very very

(06:25):
very radical left wing governor that he was, he and
Mom Donnie would split up that radical vote and then
be easy for Curtis to walk right in. Curtis is
finally running a lot of ads, and he's finally hitting
Cuomo with the nursing home stuff, and it's all leading
up to the debate. October sixteenth is the big debate.

(06:46):
October sixteenth, it'll be on Channel four. There's a second
debate six days later that's on New York One. Nobody
really sees New York One, and it's not that anybody
watches Channel four. It's not a big audience, but it
goes all over the internet. It goes viral. So if
something big happens in that debate October sixteenth, that's where
the race could change. That could be the turning point.

(07:09):
If there's going to be a turning point. And again
I keep repeating this. The other thing is turnout. If
we get what we'll be getting the last three or
four elections, no turnout eighteen percent, turnout twenty percent. That's
where the radical left wing can win because they'll always
turn out. If you go back to the old days
of seventy five eighty five percent turnout, that's where Mom

(07:29):
Donnie loses because all the normal people come out. It's
all about turnout. Taylor Swift album dropped last night at midnight. Now,
you know it's tough nowadays you don't make You know,
in the old days of phonograph albums, what did they cost?
I don't even remember. But you know, people buy the
album or the CD. You know, they go buy your CD.

(07:51):
It's twenty dollars. So there's twenty dollars every sale. You know.
Now it's downloading, you're lucky if you get thirty cents.
It's all down loading or streaming. It's mostly streaming, so
you don't get the money anyway. Now you've got to
make all your money now by doing a concert tour.
Taylor Swift is the king of concert tours. I don't
think anybody's ever made more money on tour. She's become

(08:14):
a billionaire doing that. But very smart marketing, very smart
business person. So what she's done. As soon as the
album drops, the merchandising drops with it. So yeah, you
can just stream the songs and pay three cents or whatever.
But everything is being sold right now, and we don't
have any numbers yet, but she's been selling shirts, sweaters, gloves, hats, everything,

(08:37):
Taylor Swift everything with the new album logo on it.
Very very smart. You know, when you're somebody like Taylor
Swift and you play Madison Square Garden. Actually she's too
big now. She plays stadiums, but a lot of big.
Let's say you're playing Madison Square Garden, big, big, big, superstit.
You get two and a half million, three million for

(08:59):
the concert, But the merchandising, you know, she'll actually make
five or six hundred thousand dollars in the lobby before
anybody even walks in. Five or six hundred thousand just
on merchandise, just on just on the T shirt sales,
all that kind of stuff. It's become an amazing, amazing business.

(09:19):
So what else the Yankees Tomorrow night, that's gonna be. Uh,
that's gonna be the big, big first game of the
series tomorrow night. It's actually it's four o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
four o'clock. Hey, we were talking last hour about TikTok.
Will it become safe? Will your data no longer be
in the hands of the communist Chinese? Well, it will
now be controlled by a US led group. And exactly

(09:42):
who is that? It's Oracle, So that's Larry Ellison. I'm
gonna sneeze in a bit. Wait a minute, Oracle company
called Silver Lake and then Dreasen Horowitz and Dreasen Horrowitz.
What a name. But they'll control it. Under the TikTok
divestment law passed by Congress, Chinese ownership cannot exceed twenty percent,

(10:06):
so will be in the hands of American tech companies
KKR that's Henry Cravis and Company General Atlantic. This is
a tough choice. Who would you trust with all your data?
Communist Chinese or Silicon Valley. I don't know, so I
gotta have to think about that one for a while. Hey,

(10:28):
it's autumn. It's officially fall now. Of course you all
the jokes about this pumpkin spice coffee and pumpkin spice,
this and that, but it's worse than that. For instance,
Trader Joe's has this is a big thing with them
every autumn, the Trader Joe's Autumn menu. People go crazy
for this stuff. The biggest winner this season Trader Joe's

(10:51):
butternut squash mac and cheese. I don't know, but these
are these traders. It's like a cult, this Trader Joe's.
They're very proud of that. The canvas Trader Joe's bag
very very cultish. The other one is a butternut squashed lasagna.
That doesn't sound good either. Another big cellar that cocoa

(11:12):
truffles with maple syrup sounds even worse. Autumn harvest pasta sauce. Again,
you got to be a cult member there in the
Trader Joe's cult. Maple ice cream sandwiches, eh, salted maple
cold foam creamer. Again, none of this sounds good. Maple
spice nut mix, maple and sea salt, cattle corn, but

(11:34):
this is very very, very big with the Trader Trader
Joe's crowd. Costco same thing. They all go crazy about
certain things there, but they're bringing back some of the
fan favorites. Costco. You know their store brand is Kirkland.
Kirkland is the town they come from. Costco the signature

(11:55):
butter cinnamon sugar loaf, which comes in ghosts. But apparently
people go crazy for this. It's the most addictive thing
in the world, butter cinnamon sugar loaf, and whenever it
shows up on the shelves, people just line up for it.
It's only nine to ninety nine. It's they point out,

(12:16):
it's not the healthiest thing in the world. Nearly a
full stick of butter is baked into each loaf. In fact,
another woman on Instagram showed the loaf rolled around in
melted buttered that's how you get the coating to stick.
One serving is four hundred and ten calories thirty three
grams of sugar. That's a lot. That's a lot. It's
not the healthiest thing for you, but nobody has. They

(12:38):
do have great food. You got to give it to
a Trader Joe, not Trader Joe's, but Costco. Trader Joe's
I gotta live one out. Hey, Harvard, Now this is
an interesting story. President Trump has been all over Harvard
and he's now got them caving in left and right.
Harvard has agreed to pay five hundred million. And what
they're going to do, they're going to operate a network,

(13:01):
a nationwide network of trade schools. Now, you know, one
of our great sponsors is Lincoln Tech. When it comes
to these trade schools, they're a great thing for many
many kids. This is the answer trade school. Nobody better
than Lincoln Tech. But Harvard is now being forced to
get into the game. And President Trump has said over

(13:23):
and over this, it's so important to have these trade schools.
There's a lot of kids that they don't need to
be lawyers or doctors. They want to be plumbers, they
want to be a h fact, they want to be
in various industries. You go to this tech school, you know,
you immediately got a career. You graduate Harvard with your
degree in liberal arts, you end up living in your parents'
house for ten years. But President Trump said, we used

(13:45):
to have a lot of trade schools in this country.
We don't anymore, and we need them back. So part
of the settlement with Harvard. They're going to spend five
hundred million open a network of trade schools focus on
artificial intelligence, engineering, and other technical skills. Well, see, there
you go, Harvard trying to catch up with Lincoln Tech.

(14:07):
Pretty good. Hey, we'll take some calls in a moment.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
