  Speaker 1: Now more Mark Simone on 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, I just want to remind you, it's still summer.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: The last day of summer is the 22nd of September,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: which means two weeks from today is the first day
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of fall. Two weeks from today is when fall begins,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: so it's still summer. Hard to remember that when tonight
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: is opening night, NFL season begins tonight. And it's not
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: just any game. It's a repeat of the Super Bowl.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It's the Seahawks and the Patriots. The Super Bowl teams
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: will play tonight. So it'll be a rematch. It's going
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to be a big, huge game. It'll be 8.30 tonight
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: on television, NFL. So President Trump came up with a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: brilliant idea. A midterm convention. They always have the convention
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in the presidential year. This is brilliant. I don't know
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: why somebody didn't think of this before. A midterm convention. Well,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it seemed brilliant on paper, but I don't know who
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: scheduled this, but the president is to speak tonight at 8.30.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Opposite him will be opening night at the NFL and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: not just any game, a rematch of the Super Bowl.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So I don't know who did the scheduling, but... Somebody
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: should be getting yelled at right now. And the other
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: problem is, as great as this sounds, the conventions, you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: years ago, the political conventions every year, every election year,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: were a big deal. Everybody would watch them. You know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: they'd run them on television. Every network would broadcast them
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: for three hours, you know, 8 to 11 every night.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You'd see the political conventions. They were amazing to watch.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: But in recent years, in recent elections... You really don't
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: see them anymore. They don't run them from 8 to 11.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they run highlights. Maybe 10 to 11, they'll run it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And very few people watch network television anymore. And tonight,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the networks aren't going to carry this Republican convention. So
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to see it. Fox News
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: has said they'll cover it, which is great. You'll get
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to watch it. And you should. But I would assume
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the president, the Republicans, already have the Fox News viewers.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It's not going to make much difference. You want to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: reach independent voters. How are you going to reach them?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be on anywhere. It's not going
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to get much coverage. I mean, it'll be streamed live.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you can watch it on YouTube or anywhere.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what effect it has. The president will
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: speak tonight. J.D. Vance will speak tomorrow night. Tomorrow's the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: anniversary of the death of Charlie Kirk. J.D. Vance was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: very close to Charlie Kirk. So that'll be part of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: his speech tomorrow night. The good news, Jimmy Kimmel is finished, canceled.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I know ABC keeps denying it, but they don't really
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: deny it. He couldn't get a new contract this time
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: when his contract ended. Normally you get a three-year contract,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: five-year contract, something like that. He couldn't get a new
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: contract this time. Instead, they gave him a one-year extension,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: which is considered the biggest insult in broadcasting when they
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: will only give you a one-year extension, so. His one-year
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: extension will be up pretty soon, but the word is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he'll have one more season, which begins right now, September,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and ends in May. So that'll be the end of Kimmel, May.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He'll go off the air in May. Now, ABC is
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: putting out these statements saying, well, that's just Internet speculation.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It's just speculation. I keep hearing this from inside there.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: If it's not true, announce a new contract if you're ABC.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: If it's not true, sign them to a new contract.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Announce a new contract. Sign them up for three years.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: They won't do it. You'll see them go off the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: air in May. That'll be the end of Kimmel. Very,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: very low-rated show. And Colbert went off the air, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: CBS is very happy. They don't have the headaches of Colbert.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And the replacement show, the one from Byron Allen, is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: doing great. In 18 to 49, which is the most
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: important ratings category, it's crushing Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's doing great. 18 to 49-year-olds doing big numbers. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: look for ABC to replace Kimmel with a real actual
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: comedy show, not an angry political show with an agenda,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but an actual comedy show. So once again, the Apple
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: big announcement today, 1 o'clock. Apple will do the whole
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: presentation tomorrow. Big new iPhone coming out, the foldable phone
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that opens, new watch, new earbuds, all sorts of stuff,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: so keep an eye on that. I'm also keeping an
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: eye on, you know, the big bombshell was released by
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Mayor Mamdani. He found in the basement of City Hall
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: all these documents that show that after September 11th, the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: city of New York, all its officials, the city, the state,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the federal government, they knew, they had reports, that the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: air quality was bad, dangerous, poisonous. And you can see
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in the documents that they were being told that if
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: this came out publicly, the liability amount would be catastrophic,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that the city would have to pay out all these
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: liability settlements. So they deliberately covered it up, deliberately covered
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: it up. Now, they've released these bombshell documents, but... I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: don't know, it doesn't seem to be getting the attention
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you think it would. It's getting a little coverage, but
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it's not the front page. It's not the first story.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It's not getting, let me just look at the New
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: York Post here, and it's not getting huge coverage. You know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it's like story number 15. So we'll see. Why would
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Mamdani release this? Because he hates Giuliani, Pataki, he hates everybody.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It was the Bush administration. It's to damage them. It's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to make them John Stewart was there for the press conference.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And listen, John Stewart's right about this.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: There was poison in the air and on the ground
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and in the windowsills and in your air conditioners and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: covering your pets and your clothes. And it stayed there
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: for months. Everyone knew.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Pretty bad. Mamdani.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I'm proud to be the mayor of this city. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: love this city. I love this country. And what I
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: want this week to be a focus on is on
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but in the middle of this, he releases this
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: report condemning these city officials at the time.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: These are documents that show what the city knew about
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the toxic air around Ground Zero, when they knew it,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and how they acted to limit liability. They contain details
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: about DEP's response. They show how asbestos was found nearly
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: everywhere that inspectors tested. And they will help New Yorkers
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: access the health care they need.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So he's come to realize in the last few weeks
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that when he goes to the 9-11 ceremony, everybody's going
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to be looking at him as like he's some kind
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of villain. He's like horrible. So Pataki and the other
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: officials that will be there will be thought of as heroes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: He's doing this so that they're thought of as villains.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: But as I said, it's not getting that much attention.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. We'll see what happens with this. The
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: data centers, Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary, he's out there defending
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: these data centers.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So think about it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: These AI things, they suck water and they need water, right?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: And so they need a plumber, but not a plumber plumber.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, the water problem, they'll solve that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: because they've already figured out how to recycle the water
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and not use that much. I mean, data centers don't
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: use water.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: The data centers, this is propaganda by our adversaries to
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: try to slow us down.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Well, so what's the problem with a data center? It's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a big, ugly building. I mean, it's not ugly, but
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it's just a big, massive building if it's in your neighborhood.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, the good thing is it creates a lot
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of jobs. And it really helps you with the data center,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the internet, the phone, everything, AI. You need these data centers.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: The problem is the noise. You have to be cooled.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's a massive building filled with computers and servers. And
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: they get so heated, you have to have these cooling things.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Cooled by these big turbines, which make not just noise,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: but vibration. There's a hum. Now, imagine if you're living
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: next door to.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: All day and night. It's going to drive you nuts.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: But look where LaGuardia Airport is. It's right in a
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: residential neighborhood. There's houses like right outside the fence of
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport. You have these planes and they make more
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: noise than a data center. And I imagine when it
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: goes right over your house, your house shakes a little.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people live next to a train
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: track and all that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: So....
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The thing with the data center, you're going to have
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to just put them way out in the middle of nowhere. Uh,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: or there's one in Virginia, they put it next to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the airport. So who can complain now? The good news
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: with the data center does make noise and vibration and hum, but, uh,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it's really only bad for a half a mile and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you can still faintly hear it a mile away, but
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it's really only a half a mile away that it's a,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: it's a problem if you're trying to live there. But, uh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: They're going to get built. And they'll figure out how
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to quiet these turbines down. Elon Musk is already working
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: on it. So that'll make a big, big difference. Hey,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Nicolas Cage. the actor, you know, he has a beautiful
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: house in Malibu. It's worth about, let me see, $ 10. 5 million.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: $ 10. 5 million house. Right next to his house. Right in
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the whole driveway. There's a sinkhole right at his house.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you get to his house anymore
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: because the ground just caved in massive sinkhole right in
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: front of his house. Uh, they say this, uh, to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: fix it, but it's going to be a nightmare. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that might be the end of this house. Large chunks
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: of concrete were visible in the whole massive hole opened
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: up right next to his house. It's literally right up
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: to his garage. The whole driveway is gone with a sinkhole.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Now they think, uh, to blame for this is that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it was a couple of days of very heavy rain
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles with high surf. And that, uh, A
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: sinkhole is created when water is underneath in the ground
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and it erodes all the soil and gets rid of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: all the soil and dirt underneath, and then the whole
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: ground just caves in. So I don't know what he's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: going to do. I guess you can fill in a sinkhole,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: but it's going to take a while, and they think
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the house will have to come down. So you remember
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden's prostate cancer, and it wasn't caught in time.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: If you catch prostate cancer early, and that's why you
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: get a screening every year, If you catch it in time,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the survival rate is close to 100%. But they didn't
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: catch it in time. Apparently, he had it for years
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and it spread throughout his body. It spread into his bones. Now,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: how is that possible? Because if you get a physical,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that's part of the physical. It's a big part of
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the physical. Prostate screenings. And they always take a blood
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: test and a physical, and they send your blood test out.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: And that's one thing they ask for is that prostate stuff,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the PSA count and all that. It's just standard procedure. Now,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Jill Biden was asked about this in some podcast, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: she said, well, you know, once you're past 80, they
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: don't recommend prostate screening. Yeah, but I've asked every doctor
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I could find. If the guy's 90, they always do it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: They still do it. You have to take blood and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: do a blood test. When you send it to the lab,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you request the blood test you want. And you request
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: like 14 different things to be tested for. And it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: always there, that prostate screening test. It's always on the list.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: You're always tested for it. And we're not talking about
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a regular citizen. We're talking about a guy that was
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: president of the United States. That's the White House physical,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the presidential physical at Walter Reed. I've talked to people
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: who have gone through it. It is the most thorough
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: five-hour physical ever in history. They test you for everything
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: on earth. There's no way he could have missed it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: So something's wrong here. Something's wrong here with this story.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Did they tell him and he was too afraid to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: do anything about it? But the cancer has spread. Joe
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Biden issued a statement yesterday. The cancer has spread, metastasized
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: into his bones and further. He says it's very painful.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's very debilitating in many respects. I don't know what
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you do when it's that far into your body when
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it's spread like that. Jill Biden is berating the White
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: House doctors for not catching it, but I guarantee you
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: they tested him for this. There's no way they didn't.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: She also admitted she would hear her husband get up
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: frequently in the night to urinate, it says here. This
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: is more information than we need about Joe Biden. She
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: said it's a common symptom. A common symptom of prostate problems,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but she did not press him to talk to his doctors. Now,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: she said men Biden's age are not usually tested for
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the disease. Again, I've talked to a lot of great doctors.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: They said they don't care how old you are. They
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: would test you for it. Now, Joe Biden constantly getting
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: up in the middle of the night to go to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the bathroom. First of all, do you really believe he
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: remembered where the bathroom is? And let's say he found it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: You really think he could find his way back to
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: his bedroom? You saw him when he made a speech
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: when he got off stage, couldn't find the door, didn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: know where to go. But it sounds pretty bad. It
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: sounds like he might not have that much time left
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: if it spread that. And he's in great pain and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: suffering a lot. So anyway, the Apple event is one
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: o'clock today. And then tonight, about eight o'clock, this Republican
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: midterm convention starts. You know, the New York delegation is
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: down there. They were a little surprised at their seating.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: The New York delegation was put all the way in
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the back. That's not a good sign. Maybe the Republican
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: National Committee has just written off New York. Although, as
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: we mentioned in the first hour, Bruce Blakeman, latest poll.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: This is the real polls, not these fake public polls.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: The real polls, the internal polls. Bruce Blakeman now within
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: four points. He was 25 points behind. Then he was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: 20 points behind. Then he was 10 points behind. Latest poll,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: he's four points behind. And the campaign didn't really start yet.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: He's been campaigning hard, but it really heats up now
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: after Labor Day. So it looks like Blakeman has an
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: excellent shot at winning. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
