- 0:00Speaker 1: Always a step ahead of the news. Here's more marks
- 0:03Speaker 1: amone on seven to ten wor.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Well, hey, if you just joined us, it's the second hour.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Remember we start at nine o'clock every morning. Now it's
- 0:17Speaker 2: nine to noon every weekday, nine am to noon. So
- 0:21Speaker 2: this just broke about a half hour ago. Ran has
- 0:24Speaker 2: put out a sickening video calling for the assassination of
- 0:29Speaker 2: Baron Trump. They've offered a ten million dollar bounty. It's
- 0:33Speaker 2: an ugly three minute video detailing and giving instructions where
- 0:39Speaker 2: to find him, how to kill him where. It's just awful.
- 0:42Speaker 2: So that's that's Iran's like last desperate back against the
- 0:49Speaker 2: wall move. We've already crippled their economy. They're on their
- 0:53Speaker 2: last legs. Intelligence from US from Israel showing that there's
- 0:58Speaker 2: about to be total collapse in that country. And then
- 1:00Speaker 2: later today Scott Bessett will announce the most roughest sanctions
- 1:05Speaker 2: on Iran that should pretty much make the whole place
- 1:09Speaker 2: just crumble once he announces those. Now that's probably the
- 1:12Speaker 2: reason this video was released just moments ago, this sickening
- 1:17Speaker 2: video calling for the assassination of Baron Trump, but the
- 1:20Speaker 2: President has yet to respond on it. So crazy Mom Donnie.
- 1:26Speaker 2: He's got one scheme after another. The latest now he's
- 1:29Speaker 2: announced the BQY that's the Brooklyn Queen's Expressway. Some of
- 1:34Speaker 2: it is taken care of by the state, some of
- 1:37Speaker 2: it is taken care of it by the city. He's
- 1:39Speaker 2: announced that he's fixing the BQE because the part owned
- 1:45Speaker 2: by the city is crumbling and they show video of
- 1:49Speaker 2: where it's coming apart. The concrete is decaying. It needs
- 1:52Speaker 2: to be repaired. So he put out a TikTok video
- 1:56Speaker 2: and it's a great TikTok video. It's great. It shows
- 1:59Speaker 2: a foot kicking a can and then it zooms out
- 2:03Speaker 2: and you see it's Mam donnigas we can't keep kicking
- 2:05Speaker 2: the hand down the road, and it shows him dancing
- 2:08Speaker 2: down the BIQUE. It's a hell of a TikTok video.
- 2:11Speaker 2: He's great at making TikTok videos. However, when it comes
- 2:17Speaker 2: to fixing highway this, he's not so good. Hat this
- 2:21Speaker 2: is not going to be good. It's Mom Donnie and
- 2:24Speaker 2: some crazy socialists that are gonna be in charge of
- 2:26Speaker 2: fixing this part of the BQUE. Now. The key to
- 2:31Speaker 2: doing this successfully, and remember people's lives are at stake.
- 2:35Speaker 2: It's a major highway is finding the right contractors, making
- 2:38Speaker 2: sure that one work is done correctly. But this is
- 2:41Speaker 2: mom Donnian company, and knowing him, he'll go out and
- 2:44Speaker 2: hire some twenty four year old socialists to put together
- 2:48Speaker 2: a construction company and they'll try to do it. So
- 2:50Speaker 2: this could be a disaster. Now the other crazy thing
- 2:54Speaker 2: is and it was really Deblasio that started this, and
- 2:58Speaker 2: Cuomo was involved, you know, the two crazy left wingers,
- 3:02Speaker 2: Cuomo de Blasio. But Deblasio kept pushing this closed Rikers Island.
- 3:07Speaker 2: It's a big, huge prison complex and it's on an island.
- 3:11Speaker 2: What could be more perfect for a prison? An island
- 3:16Speaker 2: the safest location in the world, like Alcatraz, but this
- 3:18Speaker 2: is a much much bigger Island's got a lot of buildings,
- 3:22Speaker 2: it's perfect for a prison. So Deblasio came up with
- 3:25Speaker 2: this idea, Well, close Rikers Island. It's a huge prison.
- 3:29Speaker 2: How do you make up for that, Well, we'll open
- 3:31Speaker 2: five separate prisons around New York City. Now what the
- 3:33Speaker 2: hell would you want to do that for when you're
- 3:35Speaker 2: going to have one perfect prison system? And some would say, well,
- 3:39Speaker 2: the buildings are old and they're fix them up and
- 3:42Speaker 2: half the buildings are empty. Fix up the empty ones
- 3:45Speaker 2: and then move people there, and then go fix up
- 3:47Speaker 2: the other ones. Now something. The real reason is it
- 3:51Speaker 2: is an island with a bridge that goes to it.
- 3:53Speaker 2: You know, the other islands that Governor's Island, there is
- 3:56Speaker 2: no bridge. You have to go by ferry, so nobody
- 3:58Speaker 2: wants to open a casino or build condos. Too hard
- 4:02Speaker 2: to get to you got to take a boat. But
- 4:04Speaker 2: this island has a bridge. So there's a lot of developers, big,
- 4:08Speaker 2: big real estate interest that would make massive donations to
- 4:12Speaker 2: you if you get them that island. So a lot
- 4:14Speaker 2: of people thought that's what Deblasio was up to, getting
- 4:18Speaker 2: that island empty so you could sell it to a developer.
- 4:21Speaker 2: So Mamdani wants to build five prisons. He's talking about
- 4:25Speaker 2: putting one in Chinatown. Chinatown leaders are up in arms
- 4:29Speaker 2: trying to stop this thing. And if you look at
- 4:32Speaker 2: what he's proposing, it's a skyscraper. It's like a forty
- 4:36Speaker 2: story skyscraper that would be the prison. And it's like
- 4:39Speaker 2: a black glass, you know, modern looking skyscraper. And if
- 4:44Speaker 2: you look at the sketches of the cells, they look
- 4:46Speaker 2: like apartments so he'd be putting prisoners in a skyscraper
- 4:50Speaker 2: with apartments. It looks like it has no windows, so
- 4:54Speaker 2: I don't know what they do about the windows. But
- 4:55Speaker 2: you imagine being prison You could be on the thirty
- 4:58Speaker 2: second floor with a nice view. This doesn't make any sense. Oh,
- 5:02Speaker 2: it's actually twenty stories, but they're calling it a jail
- 5:05Speaker 2: scraper to move all these things, create these new prisons.
- 5:10Speaker 2: It's sixteen billion. Again, you could just fix up Riker's
- 5:15Speaker 2: Island for probably one hundred million. You don't need to
- 5:18Speaker 2: do all this. It's just another crazy Mom Donnie scheme.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Now the good news it's Mom Donnie, which means it'll
- 5:24Speaker 2: probably never happen. Just like his grocery stores. You'll never
- 5:27Speaker 2: see these grocery stores. He'll never get it done, it
- 5:33Speaker 2: says he's as far as the groceries. The city's Economic
- 5:37Speaker 2: Development Corporation took prospective bidders to see the grocery store.
- 5:43Speaker 2: But there's no grocery store. That's just a big empty lot.
- 5:46Speaker 2: It's a vacant lot in East Harlem. So he brought
- 5:51Speaker 2: them there. They thought this was ridiculous. What am I
- 5:53Speaker 2: looking at an empty lot for? It doesn't mean and
- 5:56Speaker 2: they're pointing out to him that where he wants to
- 5:58Speaker 2: build this grocery store, the spot is surrounded by fifteen
- 6:04Speaker 2: bodegas and groceries. So what the hell do you need
- 6:07Speaker 2: this for? If you want to lower prices, make a
- 6:09Speaker 2: deal with these bodegas and groceries to sell those items
- 6:13Speaker 2: at a lower price. In exchange, you'll you know, stop
- 6:16Speaker 2: there having to pay taxes or rent. You'll take care
- 6:19Speaker 2: of You could easily do this. There's fifteen bodegas and
- 6:22Speaker 2: groceries right next to where he wants to build his
- 6:25Speaker 2: grocery store. Hey, you got your I'm hearing it again today.
- 6:28Speaker 2: They're doing this fake story all day. You know, the
- 6:30Speaker 2: national debt has increased. It's up to whatever it is,
- 6:35Speaker 2: forty trillion or with our national debt, but it was
- 6:37Speaker 2: up forty trillion this year, and they just light you
- 6:41Speaker 2: on the news. You'll see this on network news. I'll
- 6:43Speaker 2: just light you this is caused by the Trump tax
- 6:46Speaker 2: cut in the Iran war. Preposterous. First of all, the
- 6:51Speaker 2: Trump tax cut increased revenue into the government. Revenue is
- 6:56Speaker 2: up under the Trump tax cut. It increased revenue, couldn't
- 7:00Speaker 2: possibly add to the debt. In fact, that it will
- 7:03Speaker 2: only help the debt and the Iran war. The cost
- 7:06Speaker 2: so far as forty billion. If you're talking about four
- 7:10Speaker 2: trillion increased debt four trillion, that forty billion is like
- 7:15Speaker 2: a zillionth of one percent. It means absolutely nothing. It
- 7:18Speaker 2: had no effect, zero effect on the deficit. The whole
- 7:22Speaker 2: deficit is caused by spending. Revenue is up into the government.
- 7:27Speaker 2: It's a spending problem. The Network News carefully careful not
- 7:32Speaker 2: to ever ever ever mention that, Hey, so these AI centers,
- 7:38Speaker 2: how bad are they? Well, they got problems. Even the
- 7:41Speaker 2: governor Abbot of Texas is starting to back off on
- 7:46Speaker 2: these AI centers. You know, he let them. Now, one
- 7:49Speaker 2: thing with these AI centers, they'll bring a fortune to
- 7:52Speaker 2: your state. They'll bring you money, they'll lower taxes, they'll
- 7:55Speaker 2: bring you jobs, construction. So Abbot was all for it.
- 7:59Speaker 2: He let the DEDATA centers open all over the place.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Now now he's changing it. Now he's saying, you got
- 8:05Speaker 2: to stop. Well, one reason he wanted data from them.
- 8:08Speaker 2: He wanted them to supply data how much electricity are
- 8:10Speaker 2: you using? How much water are you using? And they
- 8:12Speaker 2: wouldn't supply the data. So he's changing his tune.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I am now coming in as governor saying, listen, if
- 8:18Speaker 1: you're a data center and you want to operate on Texas,
- 8:20Speaker 1: you have to first get the approval of those in
- 8:23Speaker 1: local communities. And that's why I set that standard. No
- 8:27Speaker 1: data centers disturbing local communities in Texas.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a big change. Eight months ago he
- 8:33Speaker 2: was waving them in. Now he's a saying we gotta
- 8:36Speaker 2: know more before you can come here.
- 8:38Speaker 1: They had not been working in collaboration with the state.
- 8:40Speaker 1: They had not been working in collaboration with local governments,
- 8:43Speaker 1: and so they basically dug their own grave for the
- 8:46Speaker 1: problem that's been calls for them, and that's why they
- 8:48Speaker 1: got the backlash they deserve. And that's why these new
- 8:51Speaker 1: standards are in place to make sure they're not going
- 8:53Speaker 1: to be able to operate until they come into compliance
- 8:56Speaker 1: with the standards that I have set.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Okay, big change of tune from a oven or abbot.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Now you got problems with the here's the problems of
- 9:03Speaker 2: the data center. One, it uses so much electricity, uh,
- 9:08Speaker 2: you know, drains the electricity from the town. Well, okay,
- 9:10Speaker 2: that problem you can solve. That can be solved. They
- 9:13Speaker 2: can start to produce their own electricity, and they have
- 9:17Speaker 2: a lot of times extra electricity can give it back
- 9:19Speaker 2: to the grid. The other problem is they use so
- 9:23Speaker 2: much water for cooling. They use so much water, use
- 9:26Speaker 2: up the water supply well that they've they figured out
- 9:30Speaker 2: the solution to that is they'll just use a little
- 9:31Speaker 2: water and just keep recycling it in the data center.
- 9:36Speaker 2: The other problem is the noise. That's a problem. They
- 9:38Speaker 2: are very, very noisy. So you like the one in
- 9:43Speaker 2: Virginia's right next to Dullest Airport, which is already noisy,
- 9:47Speaker 2: So that's a pretty good idea. You can't complain about
- 9:50Speaker 2: the noise when you're living next to an airport anyway,
- 9:52Speaker 2: So you got to just figure out where to put them.
- 9:55Speaker 2: The noise. The noise goes for about a half mile
- 9:58Speaker 2: and really about a mile, so if you're put them
- 10:01Speaker 2: somewhere where they're a mile away from residential places, you
- 10:05Speaker 2: find But even the President who was all for these
- 10:08Speaker 2: data centers, now he's putting a little disclaimer in there
- 10:11Speaker 2: about the listener. There's a little disclaimer. But you got
- 10:13Speaker 2: to be careful where you put it.
- 10:15Speaker 1: If you pick the right location, and it's got to
- 10:17Speaker 1: be not every location, it's perfect card. But you pick
- 10:20Speaker 1: the right location. What it means for a community's jobs
- 10:23Speaker 1: and lots of money and lower taxes.
- 10:26Speaker 2: And the data centers.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity,
- 10:31Speaker 1: so they're not taking it for the grid.
- 10:33Speaker 2: All right, that's good. The electricity problems solved. Water problems
- 10:36Speaker 2: needs to solve. But this is the first time he's
- 10:38Speaker 2: actually said you can't just put them anywhere. Actually, for
- 10:42Speaker 2: the first time.
- 10:43Speaker 1: If you pick the right location, and it's got to
- 10:45Speaker 1: be not every location, it's perfect card.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Okay, So that's the deal. You got to find the
- 10:49Speaker 2: right location. Now, what is this noise problem? How noisy
- 10:53Speaker 2: are these data centers? Well, here's the reason for all
- 10:56Speaker 2: the noise. A data center is thousands, thousands of powerful
- 11:01Speaker 2: computer servers and they're running twenty four to seven. They
- 11:05Speaker 2: never stop, and because of that, they generate massive amounts
- 11:10Speaker 2: of heat and that requires heavy industrial cooling and power
- 11:16Speaker 2: equipment to prevent meltdowns. You have to keep getting rid
- 11:19Speaker 2: of that heat. You have to keep cooling them down.
- 11:22Speaker 2: That's where the noise comes from. So thousands of small
- 11:26Speaker 2: internal fans spin at fairy high speeds inside the server
- 11:30Speaker 2: racks and it creates a high pitched wine or a
- 11:34Speaker 2: loud hum up to ninety decibels. Then you have to
- 11:38Speaker 2: have massive diesel or gas turbine generators and they test regularly,
- 11:43Speaker 2: they kick on during power cuts, and they produce a
- 11:47Speaker 2: heavy rumble up to one hundred and ten decibels. Then
- 11:50Speaker 2: you got large mechanical fans and compressors. They admit low
- 11:54Speaker 2: frequency noise and vibrations that travel thousands of feet further
- 12:00Speaker 2: then normal high pitched city sounds and easily can pass
- 12:04Speaker 2: through walls and trees. So that's the problem. Now, this
- 12:08Speaker 2: noise is really bad up to fifteen hundred feet away,
- 12:12Speaker 2: about a half a mile, it's really bad. It's not
- 12:16Speaker 2: so bad up to a mile away, but it's still there.
- 12:19Speaker 2: You get a low frequency hum that you can hear
- 12:22Speaker 2: a mile away, So half a mile away you just
- 12:24Speaker 2: can't be living there. A mile away is fine, So
- 12:27Speaker 2: you got to find a place where they're a mile
- 12:29Speaker 2: away from any residential neighborhood. They also they do produce
- 12:33Speaker 2: low level, non ionizing electromagnetic fields. Now scientists say that's
- 12:38Speaker 2: not a problem because you get the same thing from
- 12:41Speaker 2: common office equipment. They do pose a little health risk,
- 12:46Speaker 2: primarily through air pollution because they got those big backup
- 12:50Speaker 2: diesel generators, so that can cause a little pollution. The
- 12:55Speaker 2: biggest data center right now, Meta owns the largest data
- 12:58Speaker 2: center four point five million square feet. That's in Pineville, Oregon.
- 13:05Speaker 2: But that's one facility. That's the largest single facility, but
- 13:08Speaker 2: by total combined facilities. The biggest data center user Amazon,
- 13:14Speaker 2: largest overall operator, Amazon and Elon Musk is about to
- 13:19Speaker 2: build the largest data center in the world. In fact,
- 13:22Speaker 2: when he builds it, it'll be the largest building ever
- 13:25Speaker 2: in the history of the world, something like forty million
- 13:28Speaker 2: square feet. It's absolutely crazy. Hey, hey, those weight loss drugs,
- 13:33Speaker 2: you know, the ozampic and with the other one there's
- 13:36Speaker 2: a whole bunch of them with GOV and there's the
- 13:39Speaker 2: one with the z zimpac or whatever that is. Well,
- 13:44Speaker 2: that's the better one too, everybody says, but how many
- 13:46Speaker 2: people take those? You know, everybody you know suddenly losing weight. Now,
- 13:50Speaker 2: sometimes you see something, oh you lost some weight. You know,
- 13:53Speaker 2: you can tell they were working out, they went on
- 13:55Speaker 2: a day. But sometimes they lose too much weight and
- 13:57Speaker 2: they keep losing and losing and losing and lose. So
- 14:00Speaker 2: you know, they're on those shots. And sometimes you see
- 14:04Speaker 2: people who look volume, They look great on that sh
- 14:06Speaker 2: Look how much weight they look. But then they keep
- 14:08Speaker 2: using it, and then they lose even more weight and
- 14:10Speaker 2: they start to look bad. You know what I'm telling you.
- 14:14Speaker 2: You've got friends like that. They start looking too thin,
- 14:16Speaker 2: too bad, their faces sagging. But how many people all
- 14:19Speaker 2: together are taking those shots in America? How many? Uh?
- 14:25Speaker 2: How many take chieving? It was three percent two years ago,
- 14:30Speaker 2: it used to be three percent. How many taking them
- 14:32Speaker 2: now it's eleven percent, eleven percent. That's a lot of
- 14:36Speaker 2: people in America. It was three percent, now eleven percent
- 14:40Speaker 2: on those weight loss drugs. It's affecting a lot of things,
- 14:43Speaker 2: especially the restaurant business. People are ordering less. You know,
- 14:46Speaker 2: you get two people a couple on ozempic. Now they
- 14:50Speaker 2: order one entree and that's it. They split it because
- 14:53Speaker 2: they can't eat a whole one. Some restaurants are putting
- 14:56Speaker 2: together ozempic menus where they give you a little small portion.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Problem for bars, because you know, it affects your appetite
- 15:03Speaker 2: not only for food but for alcohol. So when you're
- 15:05Speaker 2: on ozempic stuff, you can't drink as much. So some restaurants,
- 15:10Speaker 2: bars now putting out ozempic drinks because people can barely
- 15:14Speaker 2: you know, drink drink, so they put these. It's like
- 15:17Speaker 2: a like every drink's in a shot glass, mini martinis,
- 15:20Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. Hey, well, take some calls. Next.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
