giving you the stories behind the headlines mark simone on w o r hey we'll take some calls let's go to uh let's go to

eric in morristown new jersey eric how you doing good morning mark roberto mendes better known as bob

they don't come sle easier than this guy.

My wife has a business in Union City, and the word on the street is they would vote for me again

because apparently he actually answers their phone calls.

But other than that, they all know how corrupt he is.

He's horrible.

Yeah.

Now, a lot of people say, how does a guy like this get elected over and over?

Well, because it's New Jersey, and what happens is the big donors, you know, they always make sure they get out the vote for him.

And they also always make sure there's no real opponent.

You know, these guys like Chuck Schumer, not that he's an actual crook, but he's a dirty,

sleazy politician who just, all Chuck Schumer does all days take care of donors, Democratic

donors, Republican donors, they all have his cell phone. You ask a big Republican donor,

why do you keep back in Schumer? And they'll tell you, off the record, because I can wake

this guy up at three in the morning, he'll do anything I need. So they make sure, check the record. You'll notice Schumer never has any real opposition when he runs. Last time he had a pretty good guy running against him. That guy was really good. But then you get all the big donors to make sure they turn out the votes for you let's go to fran and

masapiku fran how you doing my man mark how you doing good keeping it real my man my dad's 87 years old

this is 1988 to speak in the modern day language go ahead he's 87 he loves you man he loves

you with the whole family loves the show right in in our target demo there. Yeah, perfect. You keep it real, my friend. Just a couple of things. Do you notice with the Democrats, first of all, they're sick. So they stay in line. They don't care who it is, what it is. They say, oh, yeah, he's a good guy, he's innocent. They very rarely throw anybody under the bus, so they're just crazy that way. But the thing I'm really upset with is I just hate the way they go about their business, and it seems like the Republicans just don't have that killer instinct. Well, you're absolutely right. First of all, the Democrats do go about their business, and that's a good way to put it. They're not there fighting for you. It's a business. The whole thing is a business. The swamp, it's a business. The Republicans aren't, they're not great, but they're not so bad at that stuff. The Democrats, the Menendez, the Biden, you've seen real corruption here, real bribery corruption going on here.

And the problem of the Republicans, you're right, they're not as good at that.

Because in most cases, these Democrats come from the dirtiest political machines in the big cities of Philadelphia and New York and real dirty, you know, Tammany Hall type politicians.

And the problem is these Republicans.
