Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mark Simon Show on seven to tenor hey it's Friday.
That's the good news. We got a lot to get
through this hour, the Mayor Ol Debate, No Kings, Zelenski
and Latitia James and John Bolton. And if you can't
listen to the show live, you know you can listen
(00:21):
to the podcast if for some reason you can't listen
ten to noon. Any place you get your podcast, you'll
find the podcast of this show. And by the way,
on the weekends, there's a bonus segment that's not on
the air. You'll get a whole extra bit of a
show on the weekends if you're a podcast listener. So
the Mayor All Race, the debate was last night. It
(00:42):
was one hour on television and one hour after that
just streaming YouTube and all of that. It was a
little too long. Got the point after the first hour
and into the second hour. Imagine a lot of people
tuning out. It was just too long. Curtis won the debate.
I don't know if people notice that. The only problem
it was Channel four running the debate, which is always
(01:05):
not good. They kept trying to bury Curtis, they kept
trying to hide him, they kept going to Cuomo and
Mam Donni more and more and more and more and less.
Curtis even pointing that out to the moderators at one point,
he was great in the debate. The problem is, does
anybody notice that he won? Does it get seen by
enough people? There was no big knockout punch, That's the problem.
(01:28):
Moderators wouldn't even allow a space for that to happen.
Mam Donnie, if you were, I imagine he lost some
boats last night for one reason. He was just looked
a little.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The Mam Donnie of the primaries was much faster and
more on target. This Mam Donnie was being very careful,
hedging a lot of his stuff and watering down a
lot of his points and trying to stay neutral on
a lot of things. So it wasn't the same, Mom Donnie.
Cuomo talking in that voice that he talks in, that
(02:03):
slow talk where he goes up and down and he
goes into that sing song when he talks. So it
wasn't effective. And he is we're talking about last night,
he got way too skinny. I don't know what it
is with the ozampic, but he lost all his bulk.
You know, you need to look a little a little
more manly to be to do Cuomo's act. He just
(02:24):
looks too scrawny. Now, Curtis was great, and he did
it without the beret on. Here's a bit of Curtis
last night, high level stuff. You know, he kept trying
to hit Curtis with the Trump stuff. He's the only
guy on the stage that has absolutely nothing to do
with Trump. Mom, Donnie uh Trump. That's a big war
(02:44):
and Cuomo and Trump. Trump has been backing Cuomo. Trump
has been on the phone trying to get help Cuomo,
trying to get Curtis. So Cuomo a deep Trump connection.
Curtis is the only one with nothing to do with Trump.
He's had no relationship with Trump, no interest in Trump,
vice versa. They don't really have much. They have never
(03:05):
had anything to do with each other. They've never liked
that and each other. Now this could be a help
to Curtis that he has no Trump connection at all.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, here's high levels of testoster and in this room.
I've had a love hate relationship with Donald Trump that
goes back.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Over thirty years.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
But I know one thing we have Andrew Cuomo, we
have zon Mondami. They want to take on Donald Trump. Look,
you can be tough, but you can't be tough if
it's going to cost people desperately needed federal funds. Jorn Mondami,
the president has already said it's gonna take seven billion
dollars out of the budget right from the start if
(03:41):
you're elected mayor Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Now, a couple of times he called them Zorhan or something,
and I'm Donnie quickly said it's Zoran. Anytime you get
into that name correcting business, you're gonna you're not doing well.
I mean, Kamala, Kama, Kamala, whatever the hell her name is.
Remember she kept doing that name correcting thing. Oh if
you're mispronounced. If you're going to be doing that on
the campaign trail, you got a problem.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
More of Curtis President of the United States, should have
been applauded by you, Johanman Dami and you Andrew Como
on the day that he brought together that international coalition
that met in Egypt that came from the Middle East
and the Persian Goal. I certainly applauded him for bringing
peace to Gaza and trying to end the hostilities in
the war between the Israelis and Hamas. So they can
(04:27):
be peace between the Israelis and peace between the Palestinians.
But you seem z are on to be incapable appraising
our president and aew you were incapable of. We have
to give credit where credit, sue. He's brought peace to Gosh.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Now it's Channel four running the debate. They really stink
at running a debate, maybe deliberately. They have this thing
about thirty second answers, which is ridiculous. It's a debate.
It should be two minute answers, not thirty seconds. It's
not a game show. And hopefully President Trump watched the
debate last night. He's been backing Cuomo for the last
couple months. He's been a big Cuomo backer behind the scenes,
(05:05):
trying to get everybody out. So Cuomo can I hope
he watched it last night, so he realizes that Cuomo
talks funny in the debates and that he's not gonna
win when he talks like that. And I don't think
he really you know, I mean, the guy's a little busy,
he's president of the United States. I don't think he
was watching the primary debates. I think if he actually
(05:26):
watched Cuoma in a debate, he think twice about backing him.
Here's Cuomo last night.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
The Assemblyman will not announce from us. The Assemblyman will
not announce as San Piker who said America deserved nine
to eleven. The Assemblyman just said in his response, well,
it depends on occupation. That is code, meaning that the
Israel does not have a right to exist as a
(05:53):
Jewish state, which he has never acknowledged.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, you know the funny thing in this race, Curtis
is the only New York City candidate. Mam Donnie just
got to this country a few years ago. He just
became a citizen recently. He's not a New Yorker. And
Cuomo was born in New York, but he's lived his
entire adult life in the suburbs, not in New York City.
It's very unusual, very very unusual. You've had mayors from
(06:20):
out of ten. David Dinkins grew up in New Jersey,
Michael Bloomberg was from Massachusetts, but they lived their entire
adult lives in New York. Cuomo would be the first
governor not from New York City. His entire adult life
has been out there in the suburbs. He was more
of Cuomo last night.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
He still won't denounce globalized the intafada, which means kill
old Jews. Just say I denounced it. He won't do it.
That's the issue and his divisiveness ronic.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yep, you're talking. Got to stop you. That's the stupid
channel for these moderators. He's talking, stop them, stop them.
Police were a big issue. Of course.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
He doesn't like the police. That's why he won't hire
more police when everyone else says we need more police.
He wants to use social workers on domestic violence calls,
which are very dangerous. And he's told you what he thinks.
He thinks the police are racist, wicked, corrupt, and a
threat to public safety.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Thank you, those are his words.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That's a channel four matters. Stop talking. You can't know talking.
It's a debate. No talking. His mom Donnie on the police.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm proud to have a comprehensive plan to bring new
ideas to this city. If you want more of the same,
vote for Andrew Cuomo. If you want an actual approach
to lower crime, look at our Department of Community Safety.
That is something that has been hailed by experts as
addressing so many of the pieces of why New Yorkers
are not feeling safe today. We will ensure that no
longer our police officers asked to do the job of
(07:50):
both policing and responding to the mental health crisis.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right, now, you got two guys who are not
good with cops. Mom Donnie obviously hates cops. Cuomo was
terrible with the cops. Took away their quality, immunity. Change
the parole board to let all the criminals out. He's
almost left wing. Parole board let out forty three cop killers.
Almost the one of the close prisons, let the prisoners out.
(08:13):
He's the no bail, no jail. I mean, nobody did
more damage for policing than Cuomo. Curtis the best on
crime fighting.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
What you have proposed with this new police outrage unit.
Well in danger women and children, in domestic violent situations.
I know I've been involved in so many of them
with the Guardian Angels.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
They will be killed.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
They will be made number two. And dealing with emotionally
disturbed persons that I have dealt with for all my
years since the Guardian Angels. You need trained professional police officer.
Think yes, you can have mental health workers with Thank you,
mister stick. That has been suggested. It was by the
homeless out and the guy you thought was the best, say,
build de Blasio disbands.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Isn't this Channel four? The Channel four moderators WNBCTV. They're
the absolute worst at a debate. As soon as you're
talking and making appoint mister Slee, we have to move on.
We have to get the climate change. Please stop talking.
You don't want anybody to talk anyway. Hey, let's get
to John Bolton. John Bolton has been indicted. He's facing
(09:16):
eight counts of this, ten counts of that. He's going
to have a real problem. It looks like they've got him.
I absolutely got him on the classified documents. I mean
there it is. And the guy, you know, it's one
thing if you steal him in a box, or put
him like Joe Biden in a box, or you put
him under your arm and take them like Joe Biden.
But when you email them to yourself, there's a record.
(09:37):
There's a record of you doing it. There, it is
on the server. They can see you did it. So
he's got a real problem. This guy could get ten
years in prison. Knowing President Trump, he probably wouldn't send
him a prison. It probably commute the sentence or something.
But though he's gonna get convicted. And as far as Bolton, now,
let this make one thing click. This is not lawfair.
Media left wing, Oh, this is a lawfair. No lawfair
(10:00):
is when you get indicted in four different cities at
the same time. That's lawfair when you get Can you
imagine look what Bolton's going through. It's going to drain
his finances. It's going to be a nightmare. Look what
Trump went through. They did it to him in four
cities at the same time. He's in four different cities
getting indicted in Atlanta and New York and DC and Florida.
(10:22):
It was absolutely ridiculous. Now, as far as Bolton getting
indicted and convicted for the classified documents, as Joe Peschi
said in Casino, this guy was just begging if he
made an example of when it was Trump who did
not really have anything serious. You know, it's going to
turn out Bolton had some serious classified documents. Trump. You
(10:42):
saw those hundreds and hundreds of boxes. No classified documents
were in those boxes. It turned out they did find
thirty five mildly nothing things. And the thirty five if
you put them in a folder, it's about one inch thick.
That's one inch of one box. Bolton had lots of
stuff off and Bolton. When it was Trump, Bolton went
(11:03):
all over the airwave saying, Trump with taking classified documents
is the most serious crime. You must be executed tonight.
You must kept going on and on about it's the
worst crime in the world. Let me see if I
can find Bolton saying.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
That this is a devastating indictment. I speak here as
an alumnus of the Justice Department myself, because not only
is it powerful, it's very narrowly tailored. They didn't throw
everything up against the wall to see what would stick.
This really is a rifle shot. And I think it
should be the end of Donald Trump's political career.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Well, yeah, no, he goes on and on. Bolton was
all over television saying taking classified documents the most serious
crime there is. So I'm sure this is real karma,
real karma. And again it's not lawfair. Lawfairs're getting dited
in four cities at the same time for crimes that
nobody can even figure out. Oh hey, Trump meets with
(11:59):
Zelenski today, a big White House meeting taking place today,
and then at five o'clock he leaves for mar A Lago.
This will be the first time he goes to mar
A Lago. It's I don't think I think it reopens
Halloween officially, but I guess he's going to get it
in shape. Halloween is a week away, right, I think
it's yeah, a week or two away. So it'll be
(12:21):
the first time he goes down there. Those women, those
Palm Beach women that all descend on mar A Lago,
the ones that chase Trump around the ballroom going, how
are you remember me? No, Howie you you know that crowd?
He's going to see them again. Millennia will be cringing
at them. So that's later today, Hey, tomorrow's the No
(12:41):
Kings rally. These this is gonna be all over the place.
There'll be a major, huge, one times square, but they'll
be all over the city and they'll be all over
the suburbs. So wherever you are, Connecticut, New Jersey, Long Island,
they're going to be all over the place, these No
Kings Rallies, So steer clear of them. Mike Johnson says
they're actually the Hate America rallies. The problem with the Democrats,
(13:05):
they've become so filled with rage and hate most of
it at Donald Trump. But they're so busy hating Trump,
resisting Trump that they're no longer talking about issues. They're
no longer debating issues. There's no issues involved with them anymore.
It's just absolute raging hatred, No kings. Nobody knows what
the hell that means or what they're talking about. But
(13:26):
that'll be all over the place tomorrow, So watch out
for those. Hey, Letitia James, you know, the first property
with her mortgage fraud case, she's got her niece living there.
The niece is a fugitive who jumped probation and ran.
She absconded. She's a wanted felon. Now the other house
(13:48):
she's got, she's got her relative living there. It's a
family member. This one is another criminal Letitia James crime family.
This is her grand niece, Cayle Thompson Yerston, who's an
only fan star. If you take a look at her pictures,
you'll say, oh my god, she's an onlyfan star. She's
(14:09):
a public X rated social media presence. But she's also
another fugitive charged in April twenty twenty four with lying
about her felony criminal record when trying to buy a gun.
This is another member of Leticia James family. She was
disqualified from owning a firearm due to a twenty twenty
felony charge of malicious wounding in Virginia, which is to
(14:34):
find as a crime where a person shoots, stabs, cuts
her wounds any person intent to maim or disfigure, or
disable or kill. This is her other family. Maybe what
the hell kind of family is this? This Leticia James unbelievable. Hey,
the Al Smith dinner last night. Now it wasn't one
of the big presidential years. Last year's Al Smith Dinner.
(14:55):
We had President Trump there and all that, but it's
for a great cause for the Catholic Charities. Al Smith
Dinner at the brand new, reopened Waldorf Ballroom. After eight years,
they finally reopened the Waldorf. It looks a lot, well,
it's a lot the same, but a lot different. They've
reconfigured things. I think the ballroom looked better before. It's
all kind of silver. Now take a look at my instagram.
(15:17):
You can see some pictures. Big crowd last night, Robert
Kraft getting a big award, bon Jovi presenting it. But
I've got you can see the pictures on my Instagram.
Go to Mark Simone NYC at Instagram Mark Simone NYC
at Instagram. Hey, Barry Weiss, the new head of CBS News,
who's going to clean it up and make it fair
and balanced. She was there last night. Everybody given her
(15:39):
a big round of applause. But hey, we'll take some
calls next. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
