  Speaker 1: Mark Simone, live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, we'll
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: take some calls in a minute. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: All right, now this is interesting. The fear of these
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: AI data centers. What is everybody afraid of? It's just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a building. It's a big building, but it's just a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: building with computers in it. It's just a building with
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: some servers in it. What are you so afraid of? Well,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: uses too much electricity. Well, they figured out how to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: fix that problem with small little nuclear things. They use
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: too much water. Well, they figured out how to solve
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that with using recycled water. Now, the problem is the noise,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: these big powered turbines that cool the noise from those turbines. Well,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I remember I said yesterday, they'll figure out how to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: make those quiet. Well, that might be starting. You know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is about to build the biggest data center
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in the world. And in fact, it will be the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: biggest building ever built in history. But, you know, there's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: two companies, two or three companies that make those turbines.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a little monopoly of these couple of companies.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk has decided he'll make his own turbines. He's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: going to make turbines, which the stock of those companies
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that already make them started plunging as he announced this.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But knowing Elon Musk, he'll make them quiet, I mean,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: look at his car. Look at the Tesla. You ever
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: hear a Tesla? It sounds like this. There's no sound.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He'll figure out how to make a quiet turbine. He's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: making his own because he said he doesn't want to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: wait for these companies. And he thinks he can make
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: them better. And he will, and he'll make them quieter.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And then that'll be the end of the controversy over
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: AI data centers. They're going to be everywhere eventually in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of years. And nobody will ever remember that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it was such a controversy. As I pointed out, we've
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: got 72 of them already in the New York area.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: They've been here for years, smaller ones, but they've been
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: here for years. It's a couple right in the lower Manhattan,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: right in Manhattan, their data center. So, uh, it'll be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: pretty common by then. Uh, let's take some calls. Let's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: go to, uh, Tom in the Bronx. Tom, how you doing?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, first off, I want to say, I disagree with the,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you had Steve Kuzo on the show the other day. Yeah. Um,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Crime is up in New York. It's just not getting recorded.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We gave all the actual facts. Crime, when the commissioner
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: says it's down, she keeps quoting the murder rate. Subway
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: crime is up. Rape is up. And robberies are up.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So overall, the biggest crimes, murder, is down. But the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: little crimes, and those are the ones that affect most people,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they are up, as we've been saying every day since
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the police commissioner made that claim. Let's go to Mike
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: You were speaking earlier about Holger wearing the hijab. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: think she's got to go full Berker. Have you seen
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that mug?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She was going into a Muslim center to make
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a speech. She thought she was wearing a hijab. It
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: was just a big black scarf tied around her. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a hijab is supposed to cover your hair, cover your neck.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Hers didn't. So, look, it offended everybody. The Muslims, the non-Muslims,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: everybody got offended by her.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You mean her pandering?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Well, we get all upset when summer's coming to an end.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's the end of summer. It's a very sad time
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for us. Now, you live in Florida. People may not realize.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You're thrilled when summer's over, right? Because it's the worst season. Thrilled.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Thrilled. although it's still another six weeks or so of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: 90 degree weather. And it's funny because all the pumpkin
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: spices in Walmart and all the long sleeve clothes, the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: winter clothing is out. And it's like, guys, there's another
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: six weeks of 90 degree weather and storms every afternoon.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you guys are preparing for. It's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: not winter.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So people don't realize they can't wait for labor day. Wait,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they can't wait for summer to be over in Florida.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's the worst time of year. Yeah. It's the worst.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It's, it's brutal.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Mike, thanks for calling. You know, uh, Uh,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: think back. Remember we had those two heat waves. Remember
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it was like 110 or something, whatever it was. Real
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: field was like 110. You really couldn't go outside. It
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: was just unbearable. Well, Florida's like that for about six
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: months a year in the summer. So, uh, the end
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of summer is the nicest time of the year for them. Hey,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you remember this, um, you know, rich dad, poor dad,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the famous book. So you remember this author, Robert Kiyosaki,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this was the self-help guru who made a fortune, uh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: teaching people the secrets of financial success. And boy, did
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he have a lot of followers because he would teach
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you how to be a huge success financially. He's now
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about 80 years old and, uh, it turns out he's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: 1.2 billion in debt. So if you've got a copy
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of rich dad, poor dad, uh, throw it out, just
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: toss it out right now. The self-help guru who taught
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you how to be rich, uh, He had all these things.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: He's a billion two in debt, apparently, over very bad investments.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: His wife says it's not their fault. They had partners
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in real estate ventures, and it's their fault. But it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: his fault. It's his money, his investments. This enormous debt
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: comes from his investment strategy. So I wouldn't listen to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a thing this guy says. You know, a lot of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: these self-help books, these guys are experts. experts at how
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to make money off you, outside of you buying the book,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the video, outside of that, taking the class, outside of that,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: they don't know what the hell they're doing. It's like
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that Tony Robbins. He's got one talent in life. That
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is selling you his course. That's what he does. You
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: can take that course. I don't know what the hell
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you're going to do with it, but he's an expert
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: at getting money out of you for that course. That's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: about it. Hey, we were talking about that Times Square stabber.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at her record. And again, this started
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: with crazy left-wing politicians closing the mental institutions, letting these
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: people out, crazy left-wing judges, letting these people back on
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the street. This Times Square stabber has a long list
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of crazy incidents. 2016, belligerent, intoxicated, screaming, fighting with NYPD cops,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Lexington Avenue, uh, 2019 screaming and yelling in the subway station,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: then threw herself in front of an E train trying
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to commit suicide. And the judges kept letting her out
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: over and over. And you got, I hate to say it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You got a bunch of these mentally ill people walking around.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: There's a number of these incidents, uh, and it, You
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: got crazy judges that have been put in there by
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: crazy governors. Thank you, Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: thank you, Andrew Cuomo, for your no bail, no jail,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: let everybody run around loose. And remember, Andrew Cuomo was
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the guy that bragged about how he closed all the prisons.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He was so thrilled about that. Hey, people have been
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: complaining about prices. One of them is the cost of beef.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with Donald Trump. That has
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the government, the cattle supply. had
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: all kinds of problems. The herds had disease, infections. The
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: herds were tinier than ever. That's what drove the price
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of beef up. So President Trump has removed all tariffs
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: on beef imports for 90 days. That'll mean a ton
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of beef flowing into the country, like actually 300,000 tons
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: will be coming in, 100,000 tons per month, all tariff-free.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That should bring the price down about 30%. Now, it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: only for 90 days, but apparently they know how to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: get that herd back up. Whatever the disease, all that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: stuff is, they've eradicated. So the president says in 90 days,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the ranchers will have time to rebuild their herds. They're
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: at a 75-year low right now. So that's good news. Hey,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we were talking yesterday about New York booming. I mean,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely booming. You can't rent an apartment right now.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: The rental market has exploded. Very little inventory left as
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: far as buying big condos, really expensive ones, really expensive apartments.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's increasing all the time. Sales are much bigger than
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: last year. And we were talking about leasing. When it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: comes to offices and all that stuff, leasing is exploding.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: There's a frenzy of leasing. You know, there's a new
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: building going up, Madison Avenue and 60th Street. It's going
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to be a 60-story skyscraper. General Atlantic just signed a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: huge lease, 150,000 square feet, five floors of the building.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of these skyscrapers going up, what
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they call the supertalls. There's a bunch of 60-, 80-,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: 90-story skyscrapers going up. And companies are leasing the space
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: like crazy. Many of them have sold out already. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: this talk about New York's over, New York's finished, New
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: York's collapsing, it's actually booming right now. Real estate agents, commercial,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: residential are making a fortune right now. Hey, we'll get
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to the silly U.S. Open. I'm not a tennis fan.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: We'll get to this U.S.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Open.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's great tennis, but what do you hear
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all the ways people are exploiting these tennis fans, making
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a fortune off them? And what do you hear how
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: dumb these people are to pay what they're paying for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: this stuff? We'll get to that coming up. Don't forget,
