• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You just heard the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Now you'll find out what it all means.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It's Mark Simone on.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: Well, hey, it's Friday. That's the good news. Everything's going
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: to change next week. It's going to be a different
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: New York next week. Two reasons. One, autumn begins on Tuesday,
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: but today's going to be warm. It'll be a nice
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: 80-degree day today, and then starting tomorrow... It's going to
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: be fall-like. The high will be like 70 over the weekend.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: But next week, it'll be in the 60s. That'll be
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: the high in the 60s next week. And the other
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: thing that'll make it different, it'll be UN week. The
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: UN General Assembly is already on, but next week is
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: the week where all the world leaders show up and
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: cause absolute chaos in New York. Gridlock everywhere. First Avenue
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: will be closed. All the side streets will be closed. Obviously,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: around the UN, it'll be a traffic nightmare. Well, there'll
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: be no traffic. All the streets will be closed. But
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: you remember, these world leaders stay at all the different
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: hotels around New York. So that creates chaos around those hotels.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: You're going to have President Trump coming in. I have
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: a feeling he'll just come in and leave. I don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: think he'll stay. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. All right,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: that's not going to involve much there. Uh, Zelensky will
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: be here. Well, that could be, uh, that's a lot
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: of security, a lot of security risks there. Netanyahu will
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: be here. Well, obviously that's going to involve protesting and
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: all that. So, uh, but again, these leaders stay at
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: all the hotels, the Waldorf, the Pierre, the St. Regis,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the Plaza. So, uh, don't think just cause you're nowhere
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: near the UN, you're not going to encounter all these
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: street closures, the Regency, uh, which is a 61st, 61st
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: and Park. Street closures all around there. It's going to
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: be absolute chaos next week. Don't even think of driving
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: into Manhattan. And as they say, it'll be cool. It'll
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: be in the 60s. Autumn officially begins Tuesday. Actually, very
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: late Monday night, but Tuesday will be the first day
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: of fall. The city is ready. It's not just the U.N. mess,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: but it's the protesters. Police Commissioner Tisch.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Obviously, every year around the U.N. General Assembly meeting, time,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: we do see an uptick in the amount of protest activity.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: And this year, I do not expect to be any different.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: So the NYPD is prepared to work with organizers of
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: protests and facilitate First Amendment activity.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: All right, that's okay. Now, but the big question mark
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: here is Mamdani. Mamdani in the U.N., you know, he's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the crazy lunatic threatening to arrest Netanyahu until everybody explains
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to him you have absolutely no authority to do that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: He's not charged with anything in any legitimate court anywhere.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: In fact, the Israeli ambassador saying that we should arrest Mamdani. Well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: that's actually pretty good. Yeah, I mean, you can't do that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: but it's a pretty good, pretty good comeback. Israeli's ambassador
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: to the U.N., Calls for Mamdani's arrest days before Netanyahu's visit.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling if we needed to arrest one
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: of these two, it's Mamdani you could find a reason
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to arrest him. Maybe just some substance that was being
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: consumed by him or something like that. You could always
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: find something to get him on. Mamdani on UN Week.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: New Yorkers can expect to see a visible increase in
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: officers deployed across our city as well as a heightened
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: police presence surrounding the United Nations building.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: You know, he never sounds like a mayor. He doesn't
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: sound firm, authoritative. It doesn't sound powerful. The U.S.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Secret Service and the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service will
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: work with the NYPD to protect foreign dignitaries. They will
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: remain in communication with the NYPD throughout the General Assembly.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: I want to be clear. There are no known specific
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: or credible threats against the United Nations General Assembly or
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: our city at this time.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Now, most people would say, let's just throw the UN
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: the hell out of New York. Why are they even here?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Just get rid of them. Let them go upstate and
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: clog up some place upstate. Put them somewhere else. Put
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: them on an island. It really is the right thing
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: to do. But there are some advantages. These UN people,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: even these world leaders, it's not just the world leaders,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: but thousands of UN people. The world leaders have huge
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: delegations they bring with them. And these people, one of
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the reasons they come to New York, supposedly they have
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: high-level meetings at the UN. And the real reason they
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: come to New York is to spend a fortune shopping,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Broadway shows, restaurants. I don't care who they are, where
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: they're from. They become tourists here. If you go into
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the fanciest, finest stores, if you go into Wempe or
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Cartier or Bulgari, you'll notice... Behind the counter, there's this big, ugly,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: huge industrial machine. It's a cash counter. It counts bills.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: You know, like they have in a Las Vegas casino?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Because a lot of these people, especially the Middle Eastern ones,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: they show up. The entourage comes into Bergdorf or wherever,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: spends $ 400, 000 or $ 500, 000, one visit, and pays in cash.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: So they have those cash counting machines. They rent for this.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Or some of them own them and they just put
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: them away for the year, but they bring them out
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: UN week so they can quickly count the cash in
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: these transactions. So they do spend a lot of money
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: and all these stores put on, uh, extra salespeople to
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: handle all of this and all the top restaurants get
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: these idiots all spending a fortune. So they do help
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: and they spend a fortune in our hotel. So there
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: is some benefit to, uh, What do they actually do
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: at the U.N.? Well, they have high-level talks, very high-level
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: talks about what nobody knows. Most of these talks will
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: be about how to screw up Donald Trump and how
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: to help Iran. That's the other problem at.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: The U.N.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: There's a great love of brutal dictators at the U.N.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: There's a great love of Hamas, of Iran, whatever is
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: a terrorist organization, the U.N. loves it. In fact, the U.N.,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: It says explosive report. It's not. It's just UN craziness.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: They put out a terrible report claiming the UN committed
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: war crimes, war crimes in Iran. Their fact-finding mission is
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: done by the UN's Human Rights Council. Now, this Human
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Rights Council has on it. The worst dictators, the Human
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Rights Council is Cuba, Ethiopia, China. It's not to be
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: taken seriously at all. But they've declared that we have
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: committed atrocities, war crimes. You know, Iran has deliberately executed
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: 75,000 of their citizens. If they even dared to protest,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: they were shot in the street. Many of them taken
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to Iranian prisons and raped and beaten and tortured. But
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: we Are the war criminals, according to the United Nations,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: absolutely ridiculous. Hey, one thing they're going to do at
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: the UN this week, you know, this AI scam is
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: going on. This is all a plot, and it's a clever,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: brilliant plot. This AI is going to kill us all.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: We all have to be in fear. The Democrats, it
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: was actually, give Obama a lot of credit. He's been
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes orchestrating this in all sorts of meetings.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: He's been flying all over the place to work on this.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: They've come up with this. Climate change is not working anymore.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: It doesn't work as an election issue. Nobody's afraid of
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: it anymore. Because if you remember, 30 years ago, they
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: told us we're all going to be wiped out by
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: climate change. We're all going to be dead because of
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: climate change. We're all going to be underwater. Drought will
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: kill all of us. None of this ever happened. Now,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: six years ago, there was the presidential debate. Six years ago,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders... In that debate, he's the one leading these
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: climate change charts. He said, we only have six years left.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Let me see if I can find it. Let me
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: see here. Listen to this. Six years ago.
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: That if we don't act incredibly boldly within the next six,
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: seven years, there will be irreparable damage done, not just
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: to Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: the entire world.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Joe said it right.
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: This is an existential threat.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: So that's Bernie Sanders back then. If we don't do
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: it in six years, not only a threat to Nevada,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: but to the entire world. Six years, that's all we got.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: That was six years ago. Everything is fine. Nothing has happened.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: And people have started to notice. If it doesn't rain,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: they go, that's climate change. But then if it rains
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: a lot, aha, that's climate change. If it's hot, climate change.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: If it's not hot, that's climate change. So nobody's falling
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: for this anymore. So they've decided to use AI. This
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: is going to be the new scheme. Now, is there
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: danger to AI? Yeah, probably. There's a little danger. It
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: can get a little out of control. But I would
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: think there's ways to fix that. There's some people that
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: think AI is just Google on steroids, like it's just
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Google times a million. No, it's more than that. Yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: but most people use it as high-speed Google. It'll look
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: up things faster than you can. But AI can do
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: other things. You could have AI alter a picture. You
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: could have AI go into a website and redo it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: It's not just Google. It can do things. It can
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: go in there. In fact, the only dangerous things they've
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: seen from AI is they put it into a system
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: and notice that the AI figured a way to break
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: out of the system, to jailbreak the system and get out.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Things like that. But you can put in controls that
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: would probably stop that. So, again, Obama and others have
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: come up with this. Just like climate change, the whole
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: thing was to convince. It's a technique that's been used
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: for a million years by the left. It started in
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: the French Revolution. They create this monster boogeyman that you
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: have to be terrified of. And only they can protect you.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: The Republicans won't protect you. Only we'll protect you from
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: climate change, from A.I. So it's all been coordinated very carefully.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: The media is jumping on board. Everybody's listening. They have
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: to explain it slowly to the real dumb guys like
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Hakeem Jeffries, not the brightest guy in the world, but
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: he stands there and recites it like a robot.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: It's so irresponsible that Mike Johnson and House Republicans have
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: got out of town before sundown as opposed to working
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: in the Congress in a bipartisan way, in a comprehensive way,
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: to address the urgent issue of AI safety.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: It's so urgent that Hakeem Jeffries left town, too. Now,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: they timed this perfectly. They're going to use it as
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: an election issue. So it's right before the election. But,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: you know, Congress takes a six-week break right now. Yeah, wait,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: don't faint. Yeah. I know, they just took August off. Well,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: they come back for a week. They now take a
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: six-week vacation. It's in the schedule. Six weeks off. So
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: they timed it. to fall just before the six-week vacation
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: so they can claim that they all left town and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: not do anything about this. Well, four companies basically control AI.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: It's a cartel. And the cartel is in on this.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: First of all, the cartel, the heads of these four
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: companies are all very, very left-wing Democrats. They're all very
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: close to Obama.
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: And the.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Four would love to now, because they control it all,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: this cartel owns AI. They would love to have government
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: regulation all over the place. They would love a ton
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: of red tape because it'll keep everybody else out. The
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: big fear these four have are new companies are coming
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: in and rising up, and it's very easy to rise
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: up fast and become the big A. So they want
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: red tape and regulation to keep the other companies out
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: so the cartel will remain in control. This happens a
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: lot in hedge funds, other places. They make a fortune
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: in And then they want the law change to keep
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: everybody else from doing it. Once you get everything you want,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: then you want to lock the gate and don't let
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: anybody else in. Democrats also are looking for something else
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: in this. When the internet search engines first started, Google
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: and all of that, they were very, they still are,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: they're very biased, very slanted, very left-wing. So if you
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: do a Google search, something in the news or whatever,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: only the left-wing sites will come up. The Washington Post
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: will come up first, the New York Times. The New
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: York Post will come out on page 27. They're very
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: slanted that way. And they're very worried in the Democratic
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Party about an Elon Musk or somebody. You remember Twitter
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: was very biased.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: If you even said the Hunter, the laptop belonged to Hunter,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: you were banned forever from Twitter. Even the New York Post,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: nation's biggest newspaper, oldest newspaper, lost their account. You could
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: get banned for saying anything against the left orthodoxy. But
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk came in and bought it. turned it around,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: opened it up, no more censorship. So they don't want
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: to see that happen with AI. So the Democrats would
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: love to have control so they can keep it biased
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: and keep it very biased. AI is pretty biased right now,
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: if you look at it. On political things, it'll get
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: you the Democratic stuff, not the Republican stuff. So that's
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: the reason for it. Jimmy Kimmel, he's a guy who
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: falls for every Democratic hoax, falls for every fake news story.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: He just joins in on it. So, and his audience too,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: they just, they have no access to actual information. So
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Kimmel last night in the monologue, he said, how do
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: we get Donald Trump to take AI danger seriously? How
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: do we get him to do something about AI? And
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: then Kimmel said, I know how we can do it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Tell him chat GPT has the Epstein files. And the
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: audience laughs and applauds. This is going to be the
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: dumbest position in the world. First of all, Go read
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: the Epstein files. They're up online right now. There's not
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: only nothing bad about Trump in the Epstein files, nothing.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: But if you read the Epstein files, and you should,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: you'll see that not only were they not friends, but
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Epstein hated Donald Trump. And there's a million pages of
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: those files where he's plotting to bring down Donald Trump.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: He and that little wormy guy, Michael Wolff, they're plotting
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: on how to destroy Donald Trump. The only relationship they
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: had is when he first made a ton of money,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Epstein bought a place in Palm Beach and he was
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: suddenly a multimillionaire. So he got himself a membership at
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Mar-a-Lago and he started spending a fortune there. And Trump,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: private citizen at the time, when he owned hotels and
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: resorts and clubs, if you started a new member, he
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: would always come over and say hello. And if you
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: were a new member spending a ton of money, if
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: you had a party or an event, he'd always stop by.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: He does that all the time. You know, if you
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: rent Mar-a-Lago when Trump is there, if you rent Mar-a-Lago's
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: ballroom for your wedding and spend enough money, he'll come.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: He'll pop into the wedding, go around and take pictures
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: of everybody. He does that all the time for everybody.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I've seen him do it a million times. There's a
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: guy I know years ago spent a fortune, like $ 10
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: million on his wedding. I know, it sounds crazy. Trump
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: owned the plaza at the time. He threw this wedding
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: where he booked like 10 major groups, One after the
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: other to perform. It was like the village people, then
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: the OJs, and then the spinners. I mean, one after
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: the other. He spent a fortune. A fortune. And I
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: was there. I didn't know the guy that well, but
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: he invited me. It was like midnight. I'm in the
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: very back of the ballroom just looking. And in comes
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump at midnight. And so, what are you doing here?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: He said, I said, you don't know this guy, do you? No,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know the guy, but I heard what he did,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: and I heard what he spent, and I'll say hello
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: to him. So he popped in. He was there a
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: total of a minute and a half, said hello, took
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: a picture with the guy and left. So for the
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: rest of this guy's life, he said, Donald Trump and
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I are so close. We're very close friends. Yeah, he
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: was at my wedding. And he had the picture and
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: all his friends, you know, he's very close to Donald Trump.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Trump was at his wedding. So that was the relationship
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: between Trump and Epstein. And if you read the files,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: you can see they then became huge enemies after that
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: little 10-minute friendship. Actually, what broke up Trump and Epstein,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Epstein started stealing employees from Mar-a-Lago. That created a lot
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: of friction. And then they caught him trying to pick
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: up a young girl in the locker room who worked there,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: a teenager. Turned out it was the daughter of a member.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: So Trump had him thrown out of the club, banned,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: even called the Palm Beach police on him. So, hey,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: we've got a lot more to get to. We'll get
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: to more on Crazy Mom Donnie and his latest schemes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: We'll get to Lindsay Clancy. We'll get to Apple and
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: more coming up. Mark Simone here. Three hours every day,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: 9 to noon, 9 a.m. to noon, every day on 710WOR.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Three.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show. Now 9 till noon weekdays, 710WOR.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Well, it's kind of sad news. Warren Buffett has officially
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: stepped down completely and retired. He stopped being the CEO
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: of Berkshire Hathaway a while back and became just chairman
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: of Berkshire Hathaway. But he's now stepping down totally from
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the company. Total retirement. He will be chairman emeritus, but
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: stepping down, it's kind of sad. The last time I
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: saw him, he was very sad about... He said, my
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: eyes aren't as good. My eyes aren't good enough to drive.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: He goes, I got to have this guy drive me
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: around now. It really upset him. He's a simple guy
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: in real life. And he losing his independence, being able
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: to just drive around. You know, he would drive himself
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: to McDonald's and have breakfast. But that upset him a lot,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: having to have a guy drive him all the time.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: And this, I hate this line here. He's totally retiring.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: He said, father time always wins.
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Uh, very sad. He's 96 years old. Hopefully we'll have
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: him around for a while. Uh, president Trump says he
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: has a big decision to make. The strategy in Iran
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: is wait till the election. They did this with Jimmy Carter.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: You remember they had seized our hostages. We were, they
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: were holding our hostages and they were just waiting for
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: the election. If Carter wins, they'll keep holding them. If
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Reagan wins, they know they better give them back. So
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: they waited. They just, that was the strategy. Wait for
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the election. And the election happened and Reagan won. And
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: during his inauguration, just as his hand was hitting the Bible,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: they put the hostages on a plane and sent them
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: back to America. They did not want to hold those
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: hostages with Reagan there. So that's what's happening here. They're
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: waiting for the election. If Trump wins the midterms, in
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: other words, the Republicans keep... the House and the Senate,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Iran would probably call the next minute and make a
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: deal and settle. If the Democrats win, Iran will get really, really,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: really nasty because they feel the Democrats will back them up.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: The Democrats will end the war effort. The Democrats... We'll
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: let them do it. Traditionally, Democrats, whether it was Biden
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: or Obama, always makes a deal, gives them money, asks
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: them to promise not to do anything nuclear. Here's some
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: more money, that kind of stuff. So that's what they're
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: waiting for. But they're not calculating this into it, I
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: don't think. Let's say the Democrats win. They don't take
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: office until January. That would give Trump two months to
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: do whatever the hell he wants. So if he's going
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: to have a Democratic Congress in two months, he could
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: use those two months to just completely wipe out Iran.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And also if they wait and the Republicans hold the
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: House and Senate, which they probably will, despite what you hear,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Trump then says he's got a big decision coming up.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Trump said this. He goes, I got a big decision.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Do I go in and just annihilate them? Does he
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: want to find out what they are, what they're doing,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: what they're going to do? You know, he said, no,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Iran is puts out all these crazy statements. Our fighters
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: will never open the Strait of Hormuz until the criminal
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Trump and bloodthirsty Netanyahu are pulled down from power. You know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: they always make these statements. Remember, Saddam Hussein made those
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: kind of statements all the time. They don't mean anything.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Don't take them seriously. Just ignore them. Big 60 Minutes
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: piece this Sunday night. Not only are they interviewing Patrick Clancy,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: But apparently the new wife joins the interview. Patrick Clancy remarried.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: They live in New York City, believe it or not,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: these two. And Clancy, the husband, is being interviewed. And
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: then the wife joins them and says it's unfair the
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: attacks on him. Well, I think you've got to expect
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: that when you're married to Lindsay Clancy and your kids
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: are strangled and nobody quite knows what his role is.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know there's some people who think he
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: killed them, but I don't think that. But nobody quite
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: knows what his role is and being there reporting this.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: So he's doing this 60 Minutes interview. It'll air Sunday
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: night if you want to see it. It should be interesting. Hey,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Jay Leno, everybody's doing these podcasts now where they talk
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: for an hour and a half and everything comes out.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: But Leno talks about what happened to late night TV.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: It's all a disaster now. Colbert, the ratings were so
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: bad they just threw the show off the air. It
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: wasn't even worth the trouble. Fallon, the ratings are very low. Kimmel,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: the ratings are just ridiculous. In fact, the show's been canceled.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: It will not be on after this season. This is
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: the final season they're in right now. But in the
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: good old days, everybody watched Johnny Carson. And then everybody
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: watched Jay Leno. Ratings were down a little from the
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Carson days. But remember, Leno was on for 17 years.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: And the ratings are pretty good. Five, six, seven million.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: You know, Kimmel's lucky if he gets one million. Some
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: nights it's 800,000. It just doesn't do that well. But
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Leno said he took a lot of flack for this,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: but he was very careful never to get biased. He
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: did political jokes. There were lots of political jokes in
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: his Tonight Show monologues, but half of them were about
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the Republicans, half of them about the Democrats. He made
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: fun of the right. He made fun of the left,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: which is the way he's supposed to do it. And
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: it was a huge rating success. And then you remember
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: when Letterman took over on CBS, when it was Letterman,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: same thing. Half the joke's Republicans, half the joke's Democrats.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: And then also remember, in the final years of Letterman,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I think it was when Leno left, it was Letterman alone,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden Letterman started getting very, very, very biased,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: very left-wing biased, and his ratings plunged. They dropped in
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: half immediately because half his audience left. They couldn't watch
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: it anymore. And ratings just kept plunging, and CBS finally
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: had enough, and he realized he was... Not doing very well.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: So the show ended. But Leno said he was very
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: careful not to show any bias. He goes, why would
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: you get rid of half your audience? It's absolutely ridiculous.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: He said, these late night hosts today don't care who
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: they alienate. They pick one audience and get rid of
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: the other audience. Makes no sense. World's dumbest business model.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Leno still tours all over the place as a stand-up comedian.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: He also said he thinks that was a reason. Even
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: when he was doing The Tonight Show, he would tour
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: the country. Every weekend, he'd go play in Nebraska. He'd
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: go play in Chicago. He'd go play in St. Louis.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: He played the whole country. So he said, unlike Fallon,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: unlike Kimmel, he was out in real America, in the heartland,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: in touch with the real country, the middle of America.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: And he knew how they felt. Unlike Kimmel, who never
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: leaves Hollywood or the Hamptons, or Fallon, who lives in
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Manhattan and Locust Valley. I mean, he's never, ever out
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: in real America. So Leno said that's what really kept
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: him grounded and in touch with real America. But he's
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: still a tourist, does his comedy all over the country.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: But he said a couple of years ago, he stopped
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: doing political jokes. There's a big chunk of his monologue,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: but he took it out. No more political jokes. He said,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: no matter what you do, people get angry. You can't
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: do it anymore. Well, we got a lot to get to.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: We'll get to back to the UN. Hey, Mamdani's got
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: a crazy scheme that's going to destroy Park Avenue. We'll
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: get to that, the Kennedy Center, and more. Mark Simone here,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: 9 to noon every day, 710WOR.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: Three!
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show, now 9 till noon weekdays, 710WOR. Hey,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: 800-321-0710.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: So the Democrats, the fake news, this plot to stop AI,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: you've got to regulate it to death, you've got to
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: rein it in. Normally, whenever there's one of these things,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: climate change and the Democrats and the fake news and
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: everybody colludes, Hollywood jumps right in on this. But they've
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: got a little problem. Hollywood has been pushing for more AI.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Hollywood loves AI because it can save them a fortune.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: You know, they can do things with AI instead of
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: actually doing them for real. Like if you had to
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: have a battle scene where you need 5,000 soldiers on
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: a battlefield, you used to have to hire 5,000 extras.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: You had to make 5,000 costumes for them. It's cost
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: a fortune. But now you can put two or three
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: and then AI the rest of them in, and it
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: looks very real and save a fortune. Or if you
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: want to have a plane... crash. You could do it
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: with AI. You don't have to buy an actual airplane
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: and then crash it. So AI has a dilemma here.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: They always like to join in on these plots, but
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: they are really hoping for a lot of AI. It'll
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: help them a lot. Tucker Carlson. What the hell happened
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: to him? Was he always nuts? I don't know. I
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: used to do his show a lot. He seemed pretty
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: normal back then, but.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Actually, when he took over for O'Reilly, you know, Tucker
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Carlson's from Georgetown. He's a preppy sort of a high
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: society sort of type. When he took over for O'Reilly,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: he went kind of hillbilly-ish. He was very redneck. And
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: then when he got fired and he's on his own
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: trying to get attention, he became just nuts, just anti-Semitic, crazy, insane.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: There is a business in that. You can become like
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: the new Alex Jones guy. Like the wacko, you can
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: make a fortune doing it, but you're a total outcast
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: and you seem like a complete nut job. He's now,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: what was he claiming? Claims Israel needs to repent the
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: same way the Nazis did. So again, you got to
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: write this guy off completely. Just, he's Alex Jones. He's
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: just a complete, total nut job. Forget about him. He's
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: gone forever. Never, ever, ever, ever come back. Anyway, let's
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: take some calls.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: 800-321-8255.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: 0-7-10 is the number. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: how are you doing?
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, Mike.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Regarding yesterday's story about the mayor putting toilets around the city.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: So apparently he's against data centers, but he's all for
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: doo-doo centers.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, there you go. How long did you work on
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: that line?
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: I was going to ask you for your best input
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: on that one.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, please. You're in Florida. Where are you going so early?
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: I went to BJ's to pick up a watermelon.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Pretty exciting.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I just want to say, I'm going to retire and
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: move to Florida. This becomes your life. You go to
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Starbucks at 6 a.m. You find some errand to keep
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: you busy until lunch, right? Then you go to lunch.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: That's right. You're dodging thunderstorms because it's that time of
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: year where it rains every 20 minutes and I'm constantly
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: wet and not for any of the good reasons.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: And the reason they all go to dinner at 4 o'clock,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: they've got nothing else to do down there.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: They have nothing to do. They're in bed. They go
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: to the HOA meeting and complain at 6.30, and then
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: they go to bed at 7. And that's their life.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: And what part of Florida are you in?
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: I'm in the Port St. Lucie area, which is about
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: 40 minutes north of the Palm Beach area.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: It's actually quite the burgeoning area. city or whatever you
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: want to call it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what happens is Palm Beach is like a very genteel, wonderful,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: then all the New Yorkers come down.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: And they take over. So everybody has to move to Jupiter.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: The next thing you know, these people all take over Jupiter.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Then everybody has to move to Hope Sound. These New
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Yorkers chase them all the way up the coast.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: They move all the way up the coast.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: They keep creeping. It's a slow, steady creep up the coast. But,
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: you know, looking for heaven on earth, which I can
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: attest it isn't. But they think it is.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Well, thanks for calling, Mike. Take care. Yeah, before you
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: think of leaving New York, you know, all these people
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: in Florida, most of them, they leave New York, they
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: move to Florida. You know, they still listen to the
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: New York radio. They listen to us. They listen to WINS.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: They went They get the New York Post every day.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: They used to actually get the physical copy. Now they
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: all read the New York Post every day. They just
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: miss New York. I know. Don't think about leaving. That's
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: why the smart thing is if you really want to
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: leave the city, you go to Long Island or Connecticut.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: You go to the suburbs. That way you're still right here.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: You can come in and out. You know, the hottest
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: real estate right now is Long Island. The biggest demand.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: anywhere in America right now is Long Island. It's a
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: seller's market like never, never before, according to the latest study.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Rob in Smithtown, Long Island. Rob, how
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: you doing?
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: Hey, Mark. How are you?
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: So I'm just seeing some pictures of the new Belmont racetrack.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: And I'm sure a lot of New Yorkers aren't familiar
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: with it, but it's an unfortunate situation because it was
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: 121 years old. They built the USB arena, UBS arena,
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: whatever it is. To mimic the old Belmont racetrack.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: Then they built the village, Belmont Village. Yeah. To mimic
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: these buildings. Then they tear down the racetrack and build
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: a completely new modern racetrack.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with that?
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: What is she thinking?
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: What is wrong with that?
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: What's wrong with it? It doesn't even follow logic.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: You got a new racetrack, and hey, that Belmont Village
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: is very nice. You got a million shops, restaurants. It's great.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: What are you complaining about?
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, it's beautiful. But the nostalgic building that was there
• 31:49
  Speaker 10: for 121 years, why did they make USB or UBS
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: Arena mimic the old Belmont racetrack if they were just
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: going to destroy the racetrack and build something completely different?
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Well, because sometimes you got to rebuild stuff, infrastructure, whatever,
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: to make it, sometimes you don't realize, like the Kennedy Center.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Who knew it was all crumbling inside and had tremendous
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: water damage?
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: I don't listen. I don't disagree with the court. Listen,
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: it's 120, and it's huge. I mean, I used to
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: go quite often. Actually, I lived over there. It was
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: a huge, really unusable other than the Belmont Stakes. But
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: if you're going to build something new, why wouldn't you
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: have them all uniformed the way you want to do it?
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Stop complaining. What the hell are you complaining about? Where
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: do you live? You're in Smithtown.
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: I live in Belmont.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, you've got all these great new restaurants. You've got Insignia.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: You've got the Chazz. You've got the greatest, phenomenal new place. What,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: do you sit there and complain? We want the old
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: places back.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: No, look at Insignia. It's a beautiful, nostalgic, old-looking building.
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: They've fitted it to the decor of the area.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: It's beautiful.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: It's a Belmont racetrack. Again, back to the modern art situation.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: It doesn't fit in the decor of the area.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I think you've got to stop and save yourself. If
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: this is my big concern, if this is what I'm
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: irate about on a summer Friday, you better reexamine your life,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: You're right, Mark. You're right.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: It's the final weekend of summer. You should be enjoying it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: You're right. I'm going to go play golf later, so
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: that's what I'm going to enjoy.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Don't cheat too much.
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: All right. Thanks, Mark.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Take care. You know, I was watching the TV this morning.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: They said the new Belmont racetrack and the reporter was there.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: And this is the show on the new racetrack, the
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Belmont village. It looked beautiful. Who the hell could complain
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: about it? New Yorkers, New York, long Island, complain about
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: anything and everything. Well, we got a lot coming up today. Hey,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: we'll get to, uh, we'll get to mom. Donnie's crazy
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: scheme for park Avenue. This is not going to be good. Uh, Hey,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: if you're, uh, uh, Walking by an Apple store, you'll
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: notice there's ropes, there's lines everywhere. The new iPhone 18
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: is out. Most people pre-ordered it. I pre-ordered it. But
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: it's the first day it hits the stores. It's the
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: first day you can walk in a store and buy
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: the new iPhone 18, the new watch. So you'll see
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: massive lines around the block at every Apple store. We'll
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: talk more about that coming up on 710WOR. Now you got,
• 34:22

• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Well, this is the final Friday of summer. 80 degrees today.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: It'll be 80. And that's the last day it'll be 80. Yeah,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I hate to break it to you. It's going to
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: go 70. 70 will be the high over the weekend.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: 60 is next weekend. And I don't think it ever
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: comes back to 80 until next year. But we'll see.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Back after the news on 710WOR.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show. Nine till noon weekdays.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: More Mark.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: 710WOR.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Well, it's the final Friday of summer. Autumn begins on Wednesday,
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: so it should be a great weekend. It's not going
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: to be warm. It's going to be like the high
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: will be 70 tomorrow and on Sunday. But you've got
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: a lot to get to today. Mayor Mamdani put out
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: a big announcement. It has his full name on it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Do you know what his middle name is? Did you
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: know this? It says Mayor Zoran Kwame Mamdani. Zoran Kwame Mamdani.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I've never heard him use this middle name before, but
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: he's using it in the announcement. And the New York
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: City Department of Transportation, Commissioner Mike Flynn, today unveiled, well,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: they want to redo Park Avenue. They want to completely
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: screw up Park Avenue from 46th Street to 57th Street.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: In other words, from Grand Central Station all the way
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: up to 57th. You know, picture Park Avenue. It's, you know,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: traffic on both sides. In the middle There's a median
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: with grass on it and trees and a little park
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: on it. That's why they call it Park Avenue. It's
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: very nice. I have walked up and down Park Avenue
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: 50 billion times. Never once, ever, ever, ever did I
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: ever see anybody on the grass on that median, sitting down,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: lying down.
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: Never.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Why would you sit there? You could go to Central Park,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: where it's a very nice park. If you were to
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: sit on Park Avenue or lie down there in the sun,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: all you'd hear is traffic on both sides of you.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: And Park Avenue, between 46th and 57th, as you know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: is just packed. It's bumper to bumper. It's crazy. So
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: the Mamdani plan is they'll take that little park median
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: in the middle and expand it. In other words, they'll
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: take away half the lanes on Park Avenue. It's like,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: what is it, three lanes on each side? They'll cut
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: that down to two lanes. It's already bumper to bumper
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: on Park Avenue. This is going to make it even worse.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: It's going to screw up everything. And they'll put in
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: a big, big grass median in the middle, so big
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: that it'll have a sidewalk in the middle of the grass.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: There's a sidewalk on either side of Park Avenue. We
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: really don't need this third sidewalk. It's absolutely idiotic, absolutely insane.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: It's going to cost a fortune. It's a total waste
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: of money. And not only is it a big, big, big,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: wide grass medium in the middle, but it curves a little.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: So there'll be choke points where at some points Park
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Avenue is down to one lane. Do you know what
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: that's going to do to traffic? It will basically eliminate
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Park Avenue for traffic because nobody's going to want to
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: use it. They're going to stick to Lexington or Madison
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: or whatever. So it's going to be screwing up all
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: the other streets. This is an absolute disaster. Now, you're saying, well,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: why would they do it if it's going to completely
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: destroy traffic and make a mess and screw up every
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: car in Manhattan? Well, that's the reason. They don't want
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: you driving anymore. It's the war on cars. It continues
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: with this crazy mayor. Now, the only good news is, luckily,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: this mayor has no experience. He's never had a job
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: in his life, and he can never seem to actually
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: execute anything. So they put out the plans. They go
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: before Manhattan Community Board 6. But remember, they never, ever, ever, ever,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: ever actually get anything done. So let's hope this never
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: gets done. This will be an absolute disaster. Hey, once again,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: it's UN week. The UN General Assembly is already on,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: but the world leaders all come next week. So it's
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: going to be a big traffic nightmare. I don't know
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: which day President Trump comes, but he'll come one day.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: And that will completely screw everything up. Fake news is
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: all over the place here. Pete Hegseth. They're going after
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth. He's doing a big speech and he's demanding
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: that the troops next to him at the speech and
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: behind him be impeccably groomed. He's demanding impeccable grooming. They're
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: going after Pete Hegseth for this. He is seeking fit,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: well-groomed troops to attend his State of the Forces address.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Everything I've ever seen of the military is You're supposed
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: to be well-groomed. Doesn't the sergeant walk along and fix
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: that collar? Comb your hair. I think that's part of
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the military. You've got to be well-groomed. And fit? I
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: would assume every one of our troops are fit. I
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: think that's the idea of the military, fit and well-groomed.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: I think you're supposed to be that way. But what
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: are they trying to claim? That he's deliberately staging who's
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: behind him? I hate to break it to you. That's
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: every politician. That's every political rally. They do that all
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: the time. That's always done. They all do it. Donald Trump, everybody.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: They all do it. Trump rallies, they were always careful
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: to put minorities behind him, lots of minority faces behind
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: him because they thought that might help. If a guy
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: wasn't great with the female vote, when he did a rally,
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: they put all women behind him. Whatever you need, it's
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: always done that way. Perfectly normal. Hey, this Kennedy Center controversy,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: President Trump, now he sounds childish when he says, well,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: if I can't have my name on the building, we
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: might tear it down. It sounds very childish, but I've
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: heard him explain this at length. He has sort of
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: a point. You know, whenever a place is in disrepair,
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: whenever a great cultural institution needs to be repaired, fixed,
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: it's usually the private sector, you know, Carnegie Hall or wherever.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Usually a billionaire donates the money to fix it, and
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: then they name the thing for him. If you go
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: to Carnegie Hall, they have the Stern Auditorium. That's Leonard Stern.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: They have the main hall is the Perlman Stage. That's
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: Ron Perlman. Wherever you go, you go to cultural institutions,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: you go to the museum, the Tisch Wing of the museum,
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: because they spent the money to pay for the whole
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: thing and fix it up. So Trump has a point there.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: If he's going to be the one, he's going to
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: put in the money and he's the one that fixes it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: You're supposed to, it's tradition that you get your name
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: somewhere on the building. You know, you don't change the
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: name of Carnegie Hall, but you name the stage after
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: the guy, something. So he's not saying take the name
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Kennedy Center off. He's just saying put his name somewhere
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: in the building. So he's right. That's typically done. But
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: this is different. It's a public, you know, building. It's
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: a government run building. So I don't know. I don't know.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Reporters asked him about it.
• 42:16
  Speaker 13: For the Trump administration, for me to get involved and
• 42:21
  Speaker 13: to take that on long term and to carry it
• 42:24
  Speaker 13: or to raise money to carry it. I think that
• 42:27
  Speaker 13: the Trump administration should certainly have recognition, because frankly, if
• 42:31
  Speaker 13: we don't do that, it's going to close.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: It'll end up being ripped down. It's in very, very
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: bad shape.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe he's been a
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: little childish, but he's got a point there. So if
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: he does nothing, the building will collapse at some point. Apparently,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: it's in total disrepair, been neglected for years. And it's
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: government that's been running it and doing the construction. Apparently,
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: they've done it all wrong through the years. Pipes are
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: all mismatched, and they've had tremendous water intrusion, which is
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: making the building crumble. That's why two weeks ago, big
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: chunk of the ceiling just caved in, just fell down.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: Right over the lobby, that's usually where everybody's waiting. Luckily,
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: it was, you know, the weekend, the place was closed,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: but had that fallen when the place was open, a
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: lot of people would have been injured or killed with
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: all that ceiling falling on them. So, pretty, pretty, pretty
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: bad stuff. Hey, that Macklemore, who was Ed Sheeran's opening act,
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: making all kinds of stink and noise and everything, but
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Robert Kraft and all the, it wasn't just Kraft. It
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: was a bunch of owners of stadiums that didn't want
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: this anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, awful McLemore appearing in their place. Hey,
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: and if you own the venue, of course you can
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: decide who appears there. You know, if Nazis wanted to
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: rent your venue, of course you can say no to them.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: And if Ed Sheeran wants to rent it, great. But
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: if he's going to have McLemore, you can say no,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: perfectly fine. Macklemore huffing and puffing and yelling and screaming.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: But listen to John Fetterman, who's usually the voice of reason.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Listen to Fetterman on Macklemore.
• 44:10
  Speaker 14: Doesn't that guy get the irony of saying and doing
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: that at a musical festival when 10-7 started, when Hamas
• 44:19
  Speaker 14: showed up to kill people during a concert at Nova?
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good point. The Hamas holocaust. The genocide that Hamas committed,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: the rape, murder, mutilation, robbery, killing babies, was during a
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: music festival. So it is pretty ironic. Hey, here's a story.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: You will not hear this reported anywhere. Nobody will. You'll
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: never see this in the New York Times. You will
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: never see this on the network news. But numbers revealed.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Americans are now richer than ever. Household income has hit
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: a record high. Absolute record high. And over the last
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: year and a half, the poverty rate fell to its
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: lowest level ever. This is according to U.S. Census data.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Real median income is up 3% year to year. This
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: is inflation adjusted, by the way. The highest ever. Americans
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: are richer than ever. Household income higher than ever. And
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: the poverty rate fell dramatically. to the lowest percentage ever.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: It's 10.2%. Lowest ever. Highest income ever in America. Lowest
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: poverty rate ever in America. Pretty good news. So Michigan
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: has got this crazy Abdul El-Sayed running. Democratic socialist friends
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: with the lowest, most vile anti-Semite, Hassan Piker. Morning Joe
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: having El-Sayed on for a whole half hour. trying to
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: push him over the finish line. It's a big thing
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: for Elsa. I had to go do that morning. Joe,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: why that could be two, 300,000 viewers, uh, in Michigan,
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: probably a 3000 viewers.
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Morning.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Joe mostly watched in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC,
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: middle of America, almost no viewership, but, uh, Chuck Schumer
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: and his, uh, super pack. He runs that Senate super pack. Uh,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer's doubling down on, uh, Hassan, uh, no, not
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Hassan Piker, Abdul El-Sayed, also a little anti-Semitic, but Schumer
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: is going to go in there and spend an additional
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: 10 million in the Michigan Senate race. You see the
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: key to this, it's an open seat. It's an open seat. Uh,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: it had been held by the Democrats, but the guy retired.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: So if the Republicans take Michigan, which they most likely will, uh,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: then that's the key to the Senate. Republicans take Michigan,
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: they win the Senate. So Democrats going crazy here. They're
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: going to go spend $ 10 million there. Now remember, the
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Democrats don't have much money. The DNC has very little money.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: The RNC has been fundraising like crazy, has a $ 200
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: million war chest. So they can go in there and
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: they can do all sorts of stuff. So figure Mike
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Rogers eventually wins a new poll. 71% think Trump administration
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: lacks plan to end the Iran war. There's a bad
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: part to this poll. Also in the poll, support to
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Israel drops to record low. That's terrible. Well, does he
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: have a plan to end the, you don't really need
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: a plan to end the Iran war. You can end
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: it whenever you want. Just go in and wipe them out.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: He just, I don't know. It could be he doesn't
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: have the nerve to do it. Doesn't want to do it. Doesn't,
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: want to see all that death. I don't know. Could
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: be he's waiting until after the election to do something.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Americans don't understand why we went in. Well, the reason,
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: it's pretty simple, and he's explained that dozens of times,
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: as has everybody else, explained this over and over again.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: They don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. The
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: thinking is that once they have a nuclear weapon, it
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: would be impossible to go to war with them. There's
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: no way you could go in there and ever go
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: to war with Iran if they have a nuclear weapon
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: because they are lunatics and they would use it. So
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: you got to make sure you do it before they
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: have a nuclear weapon. So the reason we went in there,
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: they had some uranium. They were enriching it. They claimed
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: for commercial use, electricity, energy, that sort of stuff. But
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: commercial use, you enrich it to 20%. Well, next thing
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: you know, they enriched it to 40%. If you get
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: to 90%, you got a nuclear weapon.
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: 90% is....
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Nuclear weapon. Well, then they kept enriching, enriching, and they
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: got it to 60%. 60% was two weeks away from 90%.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: So that's why we went in when we did and
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: took out the reactors and all that. There were two
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: weeks away from having 90%, which would have been the weapon. Hey,
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: remember that passenger that was duct taped on the airplane?
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: He was yelling and screaming, caused a tirade and yelling
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: all the most disgusting stuff. And there were a bunch
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: of guys on the plane that had to restrain him
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: And they got duct tape and they tied him all up.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Duct taped him up. Duct taped him up. Plane made
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: an emergency landing. They had to arrest the guy. He's
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: finally spoken out. And he claims he was drunk. But
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: they checked. All he had was two orange juice and
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: vodka cocktails. Orange juice and vodka. Two of them. Could
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: two make you that crazy? I don't think so. the
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: guy in the next seat said he was talking to him.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: They were casually chatting when suddenly he snapped. It was
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: over religion. The topic turned to religion. You're sitting on
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: a plane next to a guy. Who the hell talks
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: about religion? First of all, who even talks to the
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: person next to you? Even if you talk to the
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: guy next to you, where are you going? What are
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: you going to Chicago for? Why would you even be
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: talking about religion? But he said the guy just snapped.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: He said, I've never seen someone change in a split
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: second like that. Well, so it can't be the alcohol.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: It's got to be that he was just, the guy's
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: just a lunatic. He was a real estate agent. Oh,
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: there you go. Case closed. Lunatic. No, I know a
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: lot of good real estate agents. No, he apparently has
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: been fired. He lost his job over this. I would
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: hope so. He was hollering profanities, racial slurs, terrible stuff
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: about Jesus and God. Arizona real, you know, see, Arizona.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: The heat, it gets to you after a while. Hey,
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: we'll take some calls next, 800-321-0710 is the number. Call
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: me right now, especially if you're a new caller. We
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: like lots of new callers.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.

• 51:13
  Speaker 15: the guy who was sitting next to him is an
• 51:15
  Speaker 15: author of a religious book. He had the book out.
• 51:18
  Speaker 15: It just came out. He did a whole interview, and
• 51:21
  Speaker 15: the guy did flip out over the religion conversation and
• 51:26
  Speaker 15: the fact that he just wrote a book. He has
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: many books, this guy.
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: I heard him on an interview.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: So when you're sitting on a plane, you don't talk
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: to the person next to you, do you?
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: God, no.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: No, that's what they make headphones for. They pretend you're
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: listening to something.
• 51:42
  Speaker 15: I'd rather sit next to a golden retriever.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. And where are you in New Jersey? Oh, Paramus.
• 51:48
  Speaker 16: Paramus.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: All right. Very good, Jennifer. Thanks for calling. Take care.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Cynthia in Canada. Cynthia, how are you doing?
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: Hi, Mark. I'm laughing now. I'm in Canada now. I'm
• 52:05
  Speaker 17: a New Yorker.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, good. You're not one of those Canadians, are you?
• 52:10
  Speaker 17: Well, I was born here, but I am now an
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: American citizen for quite a long time. But I have
• 52:16
  Speaker 17: to take care of my mom in Canada. Okay, something
• 52:20
  Speaker 17: really funny. I just received an email from my mom's
• 52:25
  Speaker 17: bank manager. He ended it with, sincerely... William Chang, he, him.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, you got to put your pronouns in there, he, him.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: I assume you're a she, her, right?
• 52:44
  Speaker 17: Well, it was a he, him. William Chang, he, him.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah, whenever the banker says sincerely, you're a... Sincerely
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: and banker, doesn't go together. All right, thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: these stupid pronouns everywhere. Let's go to Howard in Long Island. Howard,
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: how are you doing?
• 53:02
  Speaker 10: Hi, how are you?
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: First time caller.
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: I can tell.
• 53:07
  Speaker 18: I'll tell you why I'm calling.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 53:09
  Speaker 18: You know, you talk about the Abdul El-Sayed and everything
• 53:12
  Speaker 18: like that.
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:12
  Speaker 18: There is information about his mother, that his mother worked
• 53:16
  Speaker 18: for fundraising and everything for Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah. No one
• 53:21
  Speaker 18: ever brings that out to the newsrooms, and I don't
• 53:24
  Speaker 18: know why. I think that's kind of important. for someone
• 53:26
  Speaker 18: that could hold a seat in the Washington, D.C.
• 53:29
  Speaker 12: Senate.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: Very good point. We'll look into it.
• 53:32
  Speaker 16: All right, I'll look into that.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: I'll check it out. Let's go to Teddy and Nutley. Teddy,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: how are you doing?
• 53:41
  Speaker 19: I'm doing great. I have a scoop for you on the...
• 53:46
  Speaker 19: The guy in the airplane who attacked, okay?
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 53:51
  Speaker 19: The man he attacked was a pastor. A friend of
• 53:54
  Speaker 19: mine used to attend his services down in the Florida area.
• 53:58
  Speaker 19: He was on his laptop looking at doing his work.
• 54:03
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 54:04
  Speaker 19: The man engaged him in a conversation. It was very
• 54:07
  Speaker 19: pleasant at first. This is right from the pastor himself.
• 54:11
  Speaker 19: This is from him.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we engaged him.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: As we just heard, a pastor who's written books on
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: religion and all that. Listen, this is what they make
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: headphones for. You ever see, see, I have these little
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: Apple earbuds, but you ever see some people buy the
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: big Apple ones, those big, big, big, big headphones, and
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: you say, well, why would you want to have those big,
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: heavy headphones? This is what it's for. for air travel.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: Put the big ones over your ears so when anybody
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: looks at you, they know you can't hear them. They
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: don't even try to talk to you. Perfect. Let's go
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: to Brad in White Plains. Brad, how you doing?
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Morning, Mark.
• 54:49
  Speaker 10: Love the program.
• 54:50
  Speaker 21: I know it's not good for you, but I'm so happy.
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: You come on at night.
• 54:56
  Speaker 21: Real quickly, Miranda Vine's column the other day about the.
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: Assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania.
• 55:02
  Speaker 21: Can you give me your thoughts on how or what
• 55:05
  Speaker 21: kind of cover-up we got going here? Because they mentioned
• 55:09
  Speaker 21: that a shooter's body was cremated by somebody anonymously paying
• 55:14
  Speaker 21: for it.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the whole thing is very suspicious. Good point, Brad.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: You know, whenever there's an assassination, whether it's Lee Harvey Oswald,
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: from that moment on, all you do is read profiles, articles.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: They dig into the background. Here's the history of Lee
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Harvey Oswald. Here's his wife, Marina Oswald. Here's an interview
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: with his mother. There's a 60 Minutes piece. Who is
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: this guy? They go through the whole... This was the
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: first assassination where shh, no, nothing, nothing. Nobody wants to
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: look at him. Nobody wants to know who put him there,
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: where he came from. Trump administration now going through the
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: FBI hidden files to see what they can find. There
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: are some FBI files showing the kid was obviously crazy
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: from birth, totally emotionless, became fascinated with rifles and guns,
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: trained himself to be a sharpshooter. But The fact that
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: there was no news organization ever that wanted to look
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: at who the assassin was, wanted to do anything, investigate anything. Fascinating.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: Go check Miranda Devine's column. You'll see. Let's go to
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 56:19
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark. Mark, you said the magical words that
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: the other day it was reported that the kid was
• 56:24
  Speaker 12: emotionalistic and cried. He made, whoever got to this kid,
• 56:30
  Speaker 12: he made the perfect Manchurian candidate. Everybody should look at
• 56:34
  Speaker 12: that movie with Sinatra, if I'm not mistaken.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Right, Mark?
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's about recruiting some lunatic to be your assassin.
• 56:42
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 56:44
  Speaker 12: Mark, I heard you speak about the city's latest bonehead
• 56:48
  Speaker 12: idea of destroying beautiful Park Avenue. Well, given the fact
• 56:53
  Speaker 12: that so many wealthy people live on Park Avenue, I
• 56:57
  Speaker 12: hope they pool all their money and get the best
• 57:00
  Speaker 12: lawyer and sue the city to stop that.
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, but here's the problem. They're doing the section
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: of Park Avenue where nobody lives. It's all office buildings.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: It's all corporations.
• 57:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you have all the homeless people sleeping in the
• 57:13
  Speaker 12: middle of the median over there. You have every bum
• 57:16
  Speaker 12: in the city setting.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: Up a homeless camp.
• 57:18
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah, that's right.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: It'll be a homeless camp.
• 57:21
  Speaker 12: Mark, you probably heard another boneheaded idea that the transit
• 57:26
  Speaker 12: authority wants to do. They want to put green spaces
• 57:29
  Speaker 12: on top of the bus kiosks. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, that's got
• 57:34
  Speaker 12: to be the dumbest thing in the world because that's
• 57:37
  Speaker 12: a lawsuit waiting to happen. What happens when a flower
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: pot or a window box on top of these stupid
• 57:46
  Speaker 12: kiosks falls down, hits a pedestrian, hits somebody going on
• 57:50
  Speaker 12: the bus? Gee, or maybe somebody will even go over there, hint, hint, hint,
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: and feign.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: Good point, Vincent. Excellent call. Yeah, excellent. So, yeah, that
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: part of Park Avenue they want to screw up. It's
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: all office buildings, all big corporations. Problem is it's tough
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: for them to sue the city because they need to
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: do business with the city all the time. Hey, when
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: we come back, the great entertainment reporter. Roger Friedman, lots
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: to talk to him about next on 710WOR. Marks them all, Mr.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: noon on 710WOR.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: Well, Roger Friedman, the great entertainment reporter. You can check
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: out his website. A lot of great stories there. Showbiz411. com. Showbiz411. com.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: Roger Friedman, how you doing?
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: I'm great. Good morning.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: How are you? Good. Hey, Ed Sheeran, got to be
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: the nicest guy in the music business. What the hell
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: is he doing with Macklemore as an opening act?
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: Well, he didn't pick Macklemore.
• 58:57
  Speaker 22: The promoter of the tour picked Macklemore and picked a
• 59:03
  Speaker 22: few other people to go on the bill. And I
• 59:08
  Speaker 22: don't think that Ed Sheeran really understood why. what was
• 59:10
  Speaker 22: going on. McLemore really had his only hits about in
• 59:15
  Speaker 22: 2011 and 2012. It's a long, long time ago. And
• 59:19
  Speaker 22: more recently, I mean, he had no career at all.
• 59:23
  Speaker 22: And more recently, he He kind of revived himself by
• 59:28
  Speaker 22: turning into this free Palestine guy.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: And he became very vehemently anti-Israel.
• 59:37
  Speaker 22: And we didn't really hear about it because it really
• 59:39
  Speaker 22: sort of reached New York. It wasn't a big deal.
• 59:42
  Speaker 22: He lives in Seattle. And, you know, nobody really cared
• 59:45
  Speaker 22: about him. But then he played two shows with Ed
• 59:49
  Speaker 22: Sheeran at MetLife Stadium. And suddenly, everyone knew about it,
• 59:55
  Speaker 22: because when you come to New York, that's the stage
• 59:58
  Speaker 22: for everything. And Ed Sheeran was smart. He said, the
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 22: promoter said, this is not going to work out. He
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 22: cannot go on to do eight more shows at stadiums.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 22: These stadiums are 60,000, 70,000 people. It's not like just
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 22: even Madison Square Garden.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: They're huge. They're huge.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 22: And you're going to have such a big part of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 22: the audience offended by walking into a political rally that
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 22: they didn't expect. Now it's not like Macklemore can't have
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 22: his point of view. He can, but he has to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 22: do it. He has to tell people that's what it's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 22: going to be, uh, when they come to the show
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 22: and he's, this is his host was Ed Sheeran and
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 22: he wasn't really respecting his host.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Um, so now it's very interesting what's happened, isn't it?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 22: Uh, Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots play, said, well,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 22: you can't come to my stadium that way. And he
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 22: got the other NFL owners to say the same thing
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 22: about their stadiums. So, of course, Macklemore was dropped from
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 22: the tour. Now everyone's shouting, oh, freedom of speech, all this.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 22: This is ridiculous. If Macklemore wants to have his own concerts,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 22: I'm sure he has plenty of places where he can
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 22: have them. And people will come, and if they agree
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 22: with him, that's great. But this was a wrong look
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 22: for Ed Sheeran, and I feel bad for Ed Sheeran
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 22: that he's getting blamed for this now.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: He shouldn't be.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 22: It's a big mistake because he's a nice guy, and
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 22: I don't think he doesn't agree with any of this.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 22: Of course, now he and Robert Kraft are each giving
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 22: $ 2 million to Gaza relief, which is a good thing.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 22: Gaza relief was a good thing. Nobody disagreed with that. And, uh,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 22: and Macklemore is giving a million dollars to Gaza relief.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 22: So $ 5 million, although no one really knows what Gaza relief,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 22: where it's going to go, it's going to go to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 22: the red cross or I don't know who's working on there,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 22: but you know, but obviously Gaza needs the relief, but, um, Macklemore, uh,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 22: is not really apologizing for anything he says. And, uh, and, uh,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 22: It's unfortunate for Ed Sheeran.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but all these guys, even Bruce Springsteen, it's a concert.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: You're supposed to sing, play music. That's it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 22: But you know going into a Bruce Springsteen show how
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 22: he feels about Trump.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: Well, forget Trump. Forget Trump. If you're doing a concert
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: and in between two songs, You said to the audience,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I want to talk about the Fed increasing
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: the interest rate a quarter. Nobody wants to hear this.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: No politics. It doesn't matter whether it's Trump or whether
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: it's economic. You're there to sing. Just sing.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 22: But with artists, you know going in, that's who you're
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 22: coming to. Bruce Springsteen doesn't have opening acts. With Ed Sheeran,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 22: you go expecting a fun time, right? You just expect
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 22: a nonpolitical good time. Uh, he's playing his guitar and
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 22: telling jokes and he's, you know, very red and, uh,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 22: you know, I mean, red hair and, uh, and, and
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 22: that's it. So you don't expect to someone, you don't
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 22: expect to suddenly be in a free Palestine rally.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: Uh, wait, go back to that for a minute. Bruce
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: Springsteen doesn't have an opening act.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: No, Bruce Springsteen has no opening.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: I thought you had to have one. Don't you need
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: it to warm up the audience?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: No, he plays for three or four hours by himself.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: E Street Band is enough for anybody, Mark.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: And what is that play, Three Hours? That's a little...
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: You think Trump has an ego? A guy that plays
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: a three-hour concert, that's an ego.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I think he.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 22: Well, he plays it because the audience wants it. We
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 22: love Bruce Springsteen, and I could take a five-hour concert. Oh,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 22: my God. They're getting shorter now as he gets older. Oh,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 22: I just read this is terrible news. Oh, I just
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 22: saw some terrible news on the wire.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Duncan Sheik.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 22: who was the great singer-songwriter who wrote Spring Awakening on Broadway.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 22: And he also had a great single called Barely Breathing
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 22: Has Passed Away.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: That's very sad.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: How old is he? Wasn't that old?
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I would say he's in his 50s.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: All right. That's terrible. Hey, your buddy Woody Allen, is
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: this true? He's making a new movie at 91? He's 56,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: Duncan Shapes. Um, yes.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 22: Woody Allen is going to be 91 on November 30th.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 22: And in the meantime, uh, he's about to start shooting
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 22: a movie October 5th in Madrid.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: It's his 51st movie.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 22: And right now the working title is, is Madrid and
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 22: it's set in Spain where he's had a couple of
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 22: really cool movies. You know, he had Vicky Cristina Barcelona,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 22: which was won.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: A lot of Oscars. It was a big hit.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 22: Um, We don't know what this one's about, but his
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 22: last film, Coupe de Champs, was shot in France and
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 22: was all in French, in fact. Actually, I don't know
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 22: if you've seen it, but you should rent it. It
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 22: has a great twist. It's a wonderful film. Woody's still
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 22: got it. He had a novel that came out last year,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 22: and he has a second novel that's coming out next year.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 22: that he's finished, and he's also got a play that
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 22: he's finished.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: So he's getting a lot done.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 22: While we're sitting around talking on the radio, Woody Allen
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 22: is busy at his manual typewriter writing all these things.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: And his greatest accomplishment ever is you could get a
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: picture of him in 1963 on the Jack Parr Show
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: and today at 91, and he looks exactly the same.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: This guy looks exactly the same. No difference. How is
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: that possible? Clean living?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 16: Well.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 22: Yeah, really clean living. But, you know, it's funny because
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 22: it's ironic, right? Because now the Carnegie Deli, which you
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 22: hosted the other day you were there, has reopened and
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 22: have a Broadway Danny Rose sandwich, which is named for
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 22: the famous.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Movie, right?
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 22: And the movie Broadway Danny Rose from 1985 took place
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 22: at the original Carnegie Deli. You know, all the great
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 22: comics sitting around telling their stories about Broadway Danny Rose.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 22: And it's all pastrami, you know, and corned beef, which
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 22: we love. But Woody doesn't eat any of that.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: You know, I was talking the other day. This Carnegie,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: the new Carnegie, is wonderful. But it's nothing like the
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: old Carnegie with the big, fat, surly waiters and the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: comedian's table in front. Yeah, you're right. Go watch Broadway
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: Danny Rose, the movie. You'll see the old Carnegie in
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: its prime. Broadway Danny Rose, great.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: But isn't it nice?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 22: It's so nice to have the sign back on 7th
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 22: Avenue that says Carnegie Deli.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I love that.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: The food's great. The sandwiches, the knish, the cheesecake, everything
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: is back. It's great.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Everything's great.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: Have you been there yet? It's phenomenal.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 22: I haven't been there yet, but I'll be there this weekend.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 22: I'm definitely going. I'm sure there are going to be
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 22: long lines.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: But I actually wrote about it coming back.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 22: I was actually almost the first person to write about
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 22: it on Showbiz 411. Because they dropped a little hint,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 22: and I immediately wrote the story.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: I was so excited.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 22: And I said to the publicist, are you going to
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 22: have a Broadway Danny Rose sandwich?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: She goes, I don't know.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 22: She's so young, she doesn't know. I said, you better
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 22: ask them. So they've got it.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Now, just for everybody listening, it's not where the
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: old Carnegie was. It's a block south of there. It's
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: where the stage deli was. Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: Apparently, they didn't want to go. Which is actually a nicer,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: it's nicer.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 22: It has a, you know, they have, you know, enclosed
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 22: glass front. It's a lot nicer than the Carnegie Valley was.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: That's a good point. Yeah, it's all windows, so it's
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of light. The old Carnegie had no windows
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: in the dining room.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 22: Yeah, no, the old Carnegie, you walked all the way
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 22: into the back, you know, into like a mysterious place
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 22: where you got a sandwich as tall as you were.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you still get that sandwich, but it's great.
• 1:08:15

• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: will be the high most of next week. So it's
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: coming fast, autumn. Sad news, Warren Buffett. has stepped down
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. He's 96 and I guess
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: having a little trouble. Last time I saw him, he
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: had hearing aid in both ears. Can't drive anymore. Can't
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: see well enough to drive. And that was about a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: year or two years ago, maybe. So 96 and he
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: has to step down. He was no longer the CEO.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: He was the chairman of the board. Stepped down. He'll
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: be the chairman emeritus. And he's appointed his son, Howard Buffett,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: who's in his 60s, Howard Buffett will be the new
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: chairman of the board. Howard actually looks older than Warren,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: but he'll be the new chairman of the board. Buffett
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: will remain an advisor and a member of the board
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: of directors, but it's still kind of sad. Now, there's
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: a lot going on all over the place. First of all,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: the AI scheme continues. This is They're trying very hard
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: to make this the new climate change. You're supposed to
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: be afraid that AI will kill you unless you vote
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: for the Democrats and they stop it. Senator Kennedy had
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: some kind of bill to stop it, but that bill
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: got killed. Kennedy is, you know, he didn't really have
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: that thick southern accent years ago. Now, all of a sudden,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: he's very southern. And he came up with all these
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Andy Griffith expressions. You know, I'm more than a dog
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: and a bobtail.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 7: Whatever.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: Listen to Kennedy.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 20: My mama didn't raise a fool. And if she did,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 20: it was one of my brothers. I mean, no disrespect
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 20: to my friend, Senator Paul. I understand what he's trying
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 20: to do. But he's not talking to Bambi's baby brother here.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 20: A committee is a way to kill this. You can
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 20: vote against my bill, you can object, but at least
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 20: be intellectually honest and say, I don't want to do this.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Don't appoint a committee.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 20: That's the weenie way out.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so, I don't know what that was. Yeah, the
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: bill that was too soon to, I mean, nobody knows
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: less about AI than Senator Kennedy. Rand Paul, a respondent.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 23: It's imperative that AI systems are safe and that humans
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 23: remain in control. But if Congress acts hastily... Before the
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 23: technology is understood, Congress risks killing innovation and setting this
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 23: technology back decades.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, important thing to remember, it's a national security issue
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: because whoever wins the AI race wins everything. This is
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: like the nuclear weapons of now. So if we stop,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: slow down, China goes crazy. We're way ahead of China,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: way ahead of China. And that's terrifying China. If we
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: slow down, they speed up and they get ahead of us.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: And that's the problem. Rand Paul.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 23: And I really fear reactionaries who jump forward and want
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 23: to stop the Terminator may not be the most thoughtful
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 23: approach to AI.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: Now, the craziest is Bernie Sanders, who's so crazy, he
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: actually teamed up with Steve Bannon, the two of them
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: holding a press conference. Two crazies from both sides of
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: the aisle holding a press conference together. And Bernie Sanders
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: was the guy who six years ago said we would
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: all be dead if we didn't stop climate change. In
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: six years. Well, it's six years later. Everything's exactly the same.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: So Bernie Sanders, always a nut, that Bernie Sanders, always
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: an extremist, always a member of the income inequality would
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: kill us. And the top one percent have 20 percent
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: of the top three percent. And he's just always shooting
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: his mouth off. Bernie Sanders.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 24: We have a industry of extraordinary importance, the industry, which
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 24: is controlled by a handful of the richest people in
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 24: the world. Ellison, Bezos, Musk and others who really do
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 24: not stay up nights worrying about the implications of.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: Of what they are doing until very recently.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 24: So they, if they're going to be honest about it,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 24: and if they're telling the American people that this is
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 24: a real danger, then you should not be spending money
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 24: trying to defeat candidates or members of Congress who want
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 24: to do something about it.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're supposed to believe that senators stay up
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: all night worrying about us. Here's Kennedy's response.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 20: I don't agree with Senator Sanders. He wants to stop
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 20: the advancement of AI.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 20: Having said that, I don't completely trust these AI tech CEOs.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 20: I'm not saying they're as bad as timeshare salesmen, but
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 20: they've got a vested interest here.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: You got to say it like he does. I mean,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: how did he say it?
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 20: I don't agree with Senator Sanders. He wants to stop
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 20: the advancement of AI.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: So it's not AI. It's AI.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 7: AI.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: AI.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: There's no AI.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: It's AI.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: Go back about 20 years and get some video of Kennedy.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: He talked like this. He talked just normal. Then he
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: got a little more southern, a little more subtle, and
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: now it's AI. So, again, this is all a plot,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: carefully coordinated. You know who's the guy coaching this behind
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: the scenes? It's been Barack Obama flying around the country
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: the last few weeks. They're trying to... They started this
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: a little too late. This is supposed to be the
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: big midterm issue. You remember six years ago they used
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: climate change as the issue. Climate change. That's why Bernie
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: Sanders said, six years, every scientist agrees that six years
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: will all be wiped out by climate change. So six
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: years later, nothing happened. They're going to do this with
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: AI now and see if it works. I don't think
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: they'll pull it off. So I went to the eye
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: doctor yesterday, and the problem I have is dry eye.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: And he said, and he talked to people in the
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: waiting room. They're all there for the dry eye. They
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: got this dry eye. So this guy's the most brilliant
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: eye doctor in the world. I said, what? He said,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: it's from looking at your phone. It's from staring at
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: your phone. And I didn't say this, but I'm thinking
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: to myself, he just kept me waiting for 40 minutes
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: in the waiting room, and all I did was look
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: at my phone for 40 minutes. So you caused the
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: dry eye. But actually, the important rule, he said, You know,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: when you look at your phone, you don't blink. So
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: this is, you want to help yourself. If you've got
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: this dry eye problem, just keep blinking and train yourself.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: I've taught myself since then, when I look at the phone,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: to just keep blinking every so often. Every time you,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: you know, delete them, hit delete. Anytime you change something,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: just blink. Just blink all the time as you're looking
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: at your phone. It can cure the dry eye right there.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: You know, they have these national French Friday, it's national, uh,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: Peanut Butter Day. It's National Pretzel Day. Today is National
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: Cheeseburger Day. I forget who started this, but then every
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: industry jumped in and came up with National Ice Cream Day.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: Whatever industry, they came up with a day to make
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: you buy their products. So it's National Cheeseburger Day. And
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: how come, you know, when it's one of these days
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: here at iHeart, outside over there, there's always 12 buffets.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: If it's National Bagel Day, there's bagel buffets everywhere. Every
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: big bagel company brings bagels. buffets for there's nothing anywhere
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: there's not a cheeseburger in sight there's no food anywhere

  Speaker 4: them tuesday wednesday and thursday so we get the buffets
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: here but it's national cheeseburger day i really don't think
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: you need a day to promote cheeseburgers i don't think
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: you have to try to push people to go get
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: a cheeseburger it's something you do all the time anyway
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: If you walk by an Apple store, you're going to
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: see those ropes and lines. There's lines everywhere because the
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: iPhone 18, even though everybody's pre-ordered it, a lot of
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: people didn't. They go in the store and buy it.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: I understand. You want to see it first. Fiddle with
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: it first. But this is the first day it's in
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: the stores. And there's lines everywhere on every Apple store.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: You remember in Minnesota... where all those judges, those federal
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: judges on immigration, ICE, they kept ruling against Trump. Well,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: it turns out now they might have been colluding. And
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: there's an investigation into these federal judges. These are all
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: different separate cases but the federal judges were colluding actually
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: calls emails texts to each other you're not supposed to
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: do that so an investigation is underway into these judges
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: who might find themselves in a little trouble ethically Hey,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: speaking of Minnesota, the talk was Ilhan Omar, Department of Justice, investigating.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 4: Kick her out of the country because she married her
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: brother to become a citizen. Well, according to immigration experts,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: ICE lawyers, all of that, you can't really kick her
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: out for marrying her brother. You can convict her of something.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: You can fine her. You can ban the brother from
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: the country. But you can't kick her out for all
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: kinds of legal. It's not punishable by deportation. But they
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: are looking into her father, her Somalia-born father, how he
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: got here. Noor Saad Mohammed Elmi, long identified as an educator.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: He died in 2020. But they're looking at evidence that
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: he may have done something fraudulent on his application to
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: become a citizen. And that's what they're looking at that.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: If that's the case, they may be able to deport her.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: So the case having a few bumps, but they keep proceeding. Now,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: you always hear about people leaving New York. It's not
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: as dire as they make it out to be. First
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: of all, more people are coming in than leaving. You
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: can't try to rent an apartment in New York right now.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: It's almost impossible. They're all rented. The rental market is exploding.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 4: Commercial real estate is exploding right now. high-end uh condo
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: co-op sales are going crazy but you know who is
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: leaving biggest percentage of people leaving young people gen zers
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: it's not that they don't like new york they're just
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: moving because they you know these uh young young young
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: people can't afford to live here can't afford an apartment
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: so gen zers are fleeing faster than anywhere else but
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: they don't go far uh leaving the Big Apple, 30,000
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: Gen Zers, 10,000 of them going to Philadelphia. And they're
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: doing this in other places, in Los Angeles too. They
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: can't afford the big city they want to be in,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: so they go about two hours out where they can
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: get something much cheaper. For instance, a typical home in
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: New York sells for $ 800, 000. In Cleveland, $ 300, 000. That's a
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: huge savings. So they're moving for that reason. And it's
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: also easier to get jobs. They're doing the same thing
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: in Los Angeles. They're moving like two hours away to
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: Riverside where it's one third the price. This is a
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: phenomenon happening all over the place now with these Gen Zers.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: They don't work as hard. They don't make as much money.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: And if they live in a really expensive place, LA
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 4: or New York, it's just tough. So they're all fleeing
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: in great numbers two hours away. That way they can
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: come into the city when they want, but also spend
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: a lot less money Hey, the Upper East Side, they're
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: a little upset there. 62nd Street, York Avenue. Homeless shelter.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: It was supposed to be gone. It's still there. Thanks
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: to the Mamdani administration. 500 East 62nd. The Bentley Hotel.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 4: It was quite a luxurious hotel. An upscale hotel, the
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: Bentley Hotel. Nobody minded having that in the neighborhood. But
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: then it became a homeless shelter because what happened is
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: the city started putting the illegals there. And when that ended,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: next thing you know, they put the homeless there. And
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: the hotels, you say, well, why would the hotel even,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: because you get a huge, huge contract. That's why these
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: hotels do it. You know, you can make a lot
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: of money as a hotel, but it's tough to operate
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: a hotel. You got difficulty running this business day and night.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: Then you got to advertise. You got to hope to
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: get people. You got to market. If you can get
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: one of these contracts with the city where they'll take
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: all the rooms and You make a fortune and you
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: don't have to do that much. So this hotel got
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: a $ 32 million contract to run it as a homeless shelter.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: But then the neighbors went crazy. The whole thing was
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: supposed to end. No more homeless shelter in the neighborhood.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: So the way they got around it, they say it's
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: no longer a homeless shelter. It's a humanitarian emergency response
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: and relief center. It's a tier two family shelter, whatever
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 4: the hell that is. It's a Yorkville sanctuary. They just
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: changed the name. It's still a homeless shelter and it's
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: screwing up the whole neighborhood. So they're not thrilled about it. Hey,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: we'll take some calls in a minute. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 1:23:43

• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: How's it going? Interesting detail about the.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 25: Disruptive guy on the plane. The guy sitting next to
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 25: him was actually a pastor and a rabbi, a messianic rabbi,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 25: which he believes Jesus is the Messiah. And a very
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 25: well-known guy, Jonathan Cahn, widely reported in the Post and
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 25: TV interviews. But he said that he wasn't drunk, he
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 25: was very pleasant, and he feels that it was a
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 25: demonic spirit that came over him. instantly changed him when
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 25: the subject of Jesus came up between the two of him.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: All right. Again, I give you my plain rule. One,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: don't talk to the person next to you. If you
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: have to talk to him, forget Jesus. Talk about, uh,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: the Knicks. Don't talk about Jesus with the person.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Believe me.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 25: I know I ended up sitting next to a, uh,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 25: former New Jersey Congressman, uh, a year or two ago,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 25: flying back to New York for work. And, uh, ended
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 25: up having to have a whole political conversation.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: Again don't talk to the person next to you if
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: you find out it's a new jersey congressman change seats don't.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 25: Sit next to me i i would have if i
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 25: could and mark.

• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: You were?
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Taylor Swift has a house here on the
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: beach in Watch Hill.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's where the Ocean House is, right?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: Most beautiful, beautiful New England hotel resort in the world.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: It is. Well, Michael, you know everything, and I've been
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: wanting to call you for a long time. I've been
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: praying for Nancy, Savannah Guthrie's mother, that they'll find her.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: Have you heard anything at all? It's been seven months,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: and the last thing I heard, she got a note
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: saying her mother was buried in nature. I don't hear
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: anything on the radio.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I noticed this past two weeks, for the first
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: time ever, Nancy Guthrie says, when she talks about her mother,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: she was. She's using the past tense on her now.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: So I guess she's accepted the fact that she's gone,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: most likely buried somewhere. They may eventually find her, her remains.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: I thought so.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Apparently there were a
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 4: bunch of ransom notes or notes from various people claiming
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: to be the kidnapper. There was one that apparently was
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 4: the real one because he, in the note, identified the
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: type of watch, the color of the Apple watch she
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: was wearing, something about her. He knew enough that they
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 4: knew it was the real guy. And that's the one
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: that said she's buried in nature now. Let's go to Rob,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: Franklin Square. Rob, how are you doing?
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 11: Hi, Mark. Before I get to Comics Unleashed, I'd like
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 11: to shout out to Righteous Brother Bill Medley's birthday. Tomorrow
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 11: he'll be 86. With Comics Unleashed, I noticed that they've
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 11: only done like four seasons spaced over like almost 20 years.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: They've done thousands of shows. They've done it for 20 years.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 11: But the seasons like today, the show tonight is from
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 11: November 2025. and then the second one, 1205, is from
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 11: Season 1.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: Just like the other late-night shows, they do occasionally run reruns.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's been syndicated, but I think the, like, four seasons,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 11: I don't think a lot of them weren't shown in
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 11: New York until, you know, he hooked, you know.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were, he had a deal, they were on
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: Channel 4 late at night, but now they're on CBS at.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 11: Oh, I thought they were always on CBS, maybe that's why,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 11: probably why I didn't see it.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 4: You a big fan of Comics Unleashed?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 11: You know, they had a show on earlier this week.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 11: It was Sebastian. I can't butcher his name. He's like
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 11: the hottest comedian. It was from season one.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: Sebastian DiScalco.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, 2006. Yeah, it's good.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 12: It's good.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 11: Anything's better than that Colbert.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: Thank God. Thanks for calling. It's a great show, Comics Unleashed.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: They fired Colbert and Byron Allen. comedian who became a
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: big businessman, a billionaire now has came up with this
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: comics unleashed many years ago. So he actually buys the
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: time from CBS. He buys the hour. and he runs
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: comics unleashed and it's a very funny show with great
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: comedians and it's just comedy there's no politics not only
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: are you not allowed to do any political jokes you
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: can't do any topical jokes so it's timeless and that's
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: why they can rerun a show from years ago it's
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: totally timeless very successful It's crushing Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: Kimmel in 18 to 49-year-olds. That's the most important demo.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: So it's beating the hell out of them right now.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Pete in Wayne, New Jersey. Pete, how
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: are you doing?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark. How are you?
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 10: I go back a long way with you.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 26: I actually listened to you when you were on the
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 26: Simone phone when I was a young kid.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: You're still a young kid.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: Still a young kid.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm 66, but I feel like I'm 30.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 16: Anyway.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 26: Um going back um i was thinking about old talk
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 26: old time talk radio and i remember bob grant and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 26: his opening monologues and most people never listen to bob
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 26: grant but if you go back now and listen to
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 26: his opening monologues they were epic.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 4: Well he was a very smart guy very articulate guy
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: not the nicest guy in the world in real life
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 4: but a very great talk show host and uh He
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: would open the show. What did he say? Let's be heard.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: All right. He would always do that.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: Straight ahead.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: Straight ahead.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 10: And he'd say, straight ahead. And he said, free to
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 10: the open. Wait.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 26: The show dedicated to the free and open exchange of
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 26: ideas and of opinions.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 26: So I wonder if you would ever consider doing like
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 26: an opening monologue the way he did.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 4: Many people copied Bob Grant. Mark Levin copies him. He
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: always talks about him. Sean Hannity. A little once in
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: a while throws him in. I tried very hard never
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 4: to be like Bob Grant.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 10: No, no, no. You have a different shtick.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 7: You're more pleasant.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 26: But I'm saying if you ever did his opening monologue,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 26: I think it would make a great show that much
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 26: even better.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: Well, we already do an opening monologue.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 26: Well, and the way he did it, like he would
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 26: attack like a hot topic and he would just dissect it.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: And make you think.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: He was also could be a bit of a racist
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 4: at times. He had a lot of bad sides to him, too.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 4: Remember, he got run out of town several times. And, yeah,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: one time he was run out of town. He couldn't
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 4: come back for like eight years. And then early 2000s,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 4: remember the New York magazine, Big, he put him on
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 4: the cover. It was called Hate Radio. And then, again,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 4: the racist stuff always caught up with him. He tried
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 4: to tone it down in later years. But then one
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: comment got him fired from ABC. Let's go to Vera
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: in New York. Vera, how are you doing?
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 10: How are you doing?
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 27: First time caller.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: Thanks for calling Vera.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 27: I was calling you about the balance of nature promo
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 27: code that you gave. I called them to try to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 27: get it and they wouldn't give it to me.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's for everybody. We don't want you to
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: have it. It's just you. They don't want you to
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: have it.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 27: Well, no, they said the only way you can get it.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: It's really easy. Well, I think you have to have
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: a subscription cause you got to take it every month
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: or every, you know, every day, but go to balance
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: of nature. Go to balanceofnature.com, the website.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 27: Yes, but I did that. I'm just trying to explain
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 27: to you, when you give out the promo code, that's
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 27: the part that's missing. It doesn't mention subscription. So when
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 27: you go on, you know, I mean, if I like it, I.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: Keep buying it.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 27: Oh, I think you can try it.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 4: I think you can try it just once and then
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: cancel the subscription.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 10: Oh, that's a smart idea.
• 1:32:15

  Speaker 16: Mark, thanks so much for having me on the air.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 16: But I noticed I'm not in studio today because you
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 16: didn't want those needles near you, right?
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: Him with the Botox. Listen, I know it's good for you.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: It looks good. But I don't have the nerve. I
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: cry at a flu shot. I'm not getting Botox.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 16: Mark, it's only a matter of time. Only a matter
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 16: of time until you give in and we're going to
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 16: do it. How have you been, Mark? Good.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, tomorrow night on your show, do you have Dr.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: Oz on with you tomorrow night?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 25: I have.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 11: Oh, my goodness.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 16: I've been trying to get him for six months.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 16: Mehmet Oz is going to be my guest tomorrow, 6 o'clock, Mark.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 16: He is the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 16: Medicaid now. I guess that puts him about number two
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 16: in the Department of HHS, and he is revolutionizing health care.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 16: As We Speak. So he's coming on the show. He's
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 16: going to be live in the studio with me tomorrow.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great? Very good.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: So did you guys work together at some point or something? Well,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: we wrote a book together.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 16: And, you know, I was on his show 11 times,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 16: and he's been on my show probably about the same.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 16: And he is one of the most talented people I've
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 16: ever met, smartest guy. A lot of people don't realize
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 16: he actually invented a heart valve. uh, a mitral heart valve. He, uh,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 16: was a cardiac surgeon for years. He has an MBA,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 16: an MD, uh, of course he has Emmy awards.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: He's amazing.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 16: And besides that, he was captain of the Harvard football team.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: Did you know that?
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: No, he's kind of a skinny guy, captain of the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: football team. Uh, he's a great guy.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 16: So I'm so happy to have him on the, uh,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 16: on the show tomorrow. It'll be a wonderful show.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: Very impressive.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 10: So, okay.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: That's tomorrow night at six here on, uh, W O R. Hey, um,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 4: I always ask you this. Well, right now, right now,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: what's the most popular plastic surgery procedure?
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 16: Oh, this is facelift season.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 7: This is it, right?
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 16: You thought it was football season, Mark?
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 16: It's facelift season. We're doing a lot of them.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 10: I did.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 16: You ready for this one? I did an 84-year-old woman yesterday, Mark,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 16: and she's more with it than you and me.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 16: Okay, you, but.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 16: And, you know, it's her third facelift, and she's vibrant
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 16: and healthy, and why not? She really wants to look good.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 16: But it is facelift season right now. People wait until
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 16: after summer to have their cosmetics removed because they don't
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 16: want to recover during the summer.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: Well, why does she need the third one? Don't they
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 4: last for a while?
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 16: Yeah, they last anywhere from seven to ten years. But,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 16: you know, when you're 84, it's time for the third one.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, when you get the facelift, you take this here
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: and you shove it up there, and then what happens?
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: For like two weeks, you can't go out?
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 16: Yeah, you have to hide for two weeks. You really do.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 16: So you feel okay. It's not a painful procedure. Honestly,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 16: on a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 1
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 16: to 2.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: But you look terrible.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 16: You look like you went five rounds with Mike Tyson
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 16: for about almost two weeks. So you hide, and then
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 16: you come out, and you look good. And it continues
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 16: to improve over the course of a couple months, looks
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 16: better and better, and then it's yours. And the younger
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 16: you are, Mark, by the way, when you have a facelift,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 16: the longer it will last. So if you have one
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 16: when you're 50, let's say, it'll last maybe 12 years,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 16: more than that. If you have one at 70, it'll
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 16: last like seven years or so, something like that.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: So you've got to stay in for two weeks, but
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 4: you have to sit there and put ice on all
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: day for two weeks?
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 16: Well, no, we used to use ice. Too many frostbite injuries.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 16: No ice necessary. You just kind of chill out. No
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 16: pun intended there. And, you know, no activity, no sports.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 16: But you're in your house watching TV, reading, and just
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 16: letting nature take its course. It's a pretty easy recovery.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 16: It really is.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: So, in other words, you guys just sit at home
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: and watch TV all day. That's pretty good. I like that.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, and when the pizza delivery guy comes,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 16: you tell him to just leave it there. You'll slide
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 16: the money under the door.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: You don't go to that. So what plastic surgery is
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 4: not so popular anymore, fading away?
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 16: You know, it's interesting. So every year, the National Society
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 16: that represents most of us plastic surgeons, they put out
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 16: their statistics, and they put them out last week. And
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 16: the usual procedures are the most popular liposuction, you know,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 16: fat suction and breast augmentation. But it is interesting. I
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 16: always like to see, you know, what's losing popularity. And,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 16: you know, those resilient butt lifts that we've talked about
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 16: in the past. Yeah, they are going away. And for
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 16: good reason, they're deadly procedures. There's hundreds and hundreds of
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 16: people have died from that procedure. So last year. Yeah,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 16: they were down 5% last year, continuing the trend. The
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 16: last three years, they've been.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 18: Down, down, down.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 16: That's good. But also, this one I can't figure out, Mark.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 16: Male breast reduction. It's called gynecomastia. That's when men grow breasts.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 16: It's actually increased in incidence because of all the marijuana use.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 16: Marijuana smokers develop breasts. Really interesting.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: You're kidding.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 16: But for some reason, I don't understand this, the procedures
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 16: declined by 8% last year. They went down. Now, I'm
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 16: going to predict... I'm going to predict they're going to
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 16: be way up next year. You know, we have these
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 16: year-to-year blips. But with, you know, you only have to
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 16: walk down, you know, the Upper West Side to smell
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 16: all the marijuana, right, Mark? You know, it's there. So
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 16: men are going to be growing breasts. It's the number
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 16: one drug that causes male breast growth.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 4: So what about if women go out and use it?
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: Will that increase their breasts?
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah. So, when they're, you know, they have to
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 16: have that warning now. No, they really should. They should
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 16: have it in the, you know, like smoker's warning.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 16: You know, marijuana warning. This will increase breast size.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 4: Well, among women, you might have just sold a lot
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 4: of marijuana.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 16: Well, I'm not sure it increases women's breast size, but yeah.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, there's all sorts of information about marijuana,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 16: but that's another show that's happened. So those are the
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 16: procedures that kind of declined. But liposuction, that's fat removal. Mark,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 16: that is the number one procedure for good reason. In
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 16: about an hour, I can suction five, six, seven pounds
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 16: of fat. And despite all those GLP drugs like Ozempic
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 16: and Zepbound, you know, that fat that's still on your
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 16: hips after you've lost the weight– Nothing? Or in your neck? Yeah,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 16: that's what I need, a little suction out of my neck. Yeah,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 16: that stays even after weight loss, and that's where liposuction
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 16: comes in.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 4: Hey, we're talking with Dr. Arthur Perry. You can go
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 4: to his website, perryplasticsurgery.com. You can listen to him on WOR,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: Saturday nights, 6 o'clock. Hey, sometimes you see this bad
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 4: plastic surgery, these Boca Raton plastic surgeries. Some parts of
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: Long Island, you see some really bad plastic surgery. It's
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: Is that stuff fixable? Could somebody fix that? Oh, yeah.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 16: I do a lot of revisionary surgery. Fortunately, not my
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 16: first cases. But this past week, I saw a woman
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 16: who had a breast augmentation 24 years ago, and she
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 16: lived with a terrible deformity. You know, her implants were
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 16: in one area of her chest, and her breasts kind
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 16: of drooped over them. And, yes, so it's more complicated
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 16: to fix these things. But I enjoy that kind of
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 16: surgery because... Here we remove the implants, put in new models,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 16: you know, get the new models, Mark. There are some
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 16: technical advances in breast augmentation. And then do a breast
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 16: lift so we can make breasts look significantly better, even
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 16: if they've been not so nicely augmented with breast implants.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 16: Very common. But surgery, you know, we call it secondary
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 16: surgery or redo surgery, always more difficult than the first one.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 16: There's scar tissue to contend with. And, you know, other
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 16: issues that make that surgery more difficult. But it's challenging
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 16: and it's really, it's very rewarding for me because people
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 16: are distressed when they've had bad plastic surgery. And they
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 16: come in and we fix it and they're so happy.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 16: Those are the happiest patients.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: And there are some people who get too much plastic surgery, right?
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 4: Just say to them, you've had enough. Stop for a while. Yes.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 16: And plastic surgeons need to know when to say no.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 16: And most good plastic surgeons will turn people down if
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 16: they've had too much or they're not good psychological candidates.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 16: But we all know there are plastic surgeons that are
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 16: willing to do anything, Mark, like take out ribs to
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 16: make waist smaller. Have you heard of that one?
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 16: It's incredible. I think one of the Kardashians did that.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 16: And God gave us ribs for a pretty good reason.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 16: They protect our heart. I They protect our lungs. They
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 16: protect our liver. And when you take those out for
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 16: cosmetic reasons, there's one word I say. It's called stupid.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 4: It's just stupid.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: But people are doing it.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 16: And plastic surgeons are willing to take people's money and
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 16: do the operation that they want, even if it's not
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 16: the best one, unfortunately. Most won't, but there are always some.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: You want a great plastic surgeon, you go to Dr.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 4: Arthur Perry. His website is perryplasticsurgery.com. Perryplasticsurgery.com. And he has
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 4: his own show here on WOR, Saturday nights at 6.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: Saturday night at 6. In fact, tomorrow night is the
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 4: show with Dr. Oz. You want to hear that. And Dr.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 4: Arthur Perry, thanks for being with us.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 16: Mark, thanks so much. And next time I'm bringing the Botox,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 16: we're going to be in the studio.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: Get ready. You get ready because I'm not getting any Botox.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 4: He did it to Larry Minty. It looked good.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked great.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 16: Thank you so much, Mark.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 4: It's been a pleasure. Take care. Hey, don't forget, coming
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: up at noon, it's Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. They do
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: a great show every day. We've got the biggest names
• 1:43:31
