This is the Mark Simone show on 710 WOR.

Filling in for Mr. New York, here's Jesse Weber.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the show.

Great to be back with all of you.

I hope you guys know me now.

I hope you do.

But again, if you don't, co-host, always in fashion on WOR.

I'm on News Nation, law and crime.

Truth be told, though, I will tell you

one of my favorite things is filling in for Mark here, getting the chance to talk to all of you. I really do enjoy it. And we got a lot to get into Israel Hamas. The fighting continues. Donald Trump's legal issues, George Santos, Biden, Harris. All right, but first, did you watch the debate last night between DeSantis and Newsom.

I got to say I loved it.

I loved it. Harris. All right, but first, did you watch the debate last night between DeSantis and Newsom?

I got to say, I loved it. I loved it. It was moderated by Sean Hannity on Fox, thought he did a great job.

I think they should consider him for future debates, by the way. And I'm watching this debate.

And I'm like, wow, could you imagine if these were the real candidates for president, effective, talking about the issues, smart, got the stats, the facts.

I learned some things that I didn't know.

It was refreshing.

And then I'm hit back to reality and realize this doesn't really matter.

I will tell you, Newsom said something I actually agreed with.

This is cut number four.

There's one thing in closing that we have in common is neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024.
