Speaker 1: Now 710 wor presents the mark simone.
0:05
Speaker 2: Show hey look at the calendar september 1st it's september
0:16
Speaker 2: already i don't know what the hell happened it was
0:19
Speaker 2: just memorial day weekend it's september now today uh we
0:23
Speaker 2: got a lot to get to get to that uh
0:25
Speaker 2: Crazy Mamdani and his latest nonsense. We'll get to Howard Stern.
0:30
Speaker 2: We'll get to Anna Wintour. She may have finally done
0:34
Speaker 2: herself in. I think she's going to be out pretty soon.
0:36
Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump, Iran. We'll get to data centers.
0:41
Speaker 2: We'll get to the midterms and a whole lot more
0:45
Speaker 2: coming up. Now, the president, I'm looking at his schedule.
0:48
Speaker 2: One of the meetings today, 1 o'clock, he meets with
0:50
Speaker 2: the leaders of the American oil industry. Now, there's no
0:57
Speaker 2: reason for the price to be this high. We have
0:59
Speaker 2: more oil now than we've ever had before. You know,
1:02
Speaker 2: this Venezuela oil deal where we won't own the oil,
1:06
Speaker 2: but we'll control the oil out of Venezuela. Once that
1:09
Speaker 2: goes through, we will now have, the United States will
1:14
Speaker 2: now have 80% of the world's oil supply. 80%. You
1:20
Speaker 2: remember when we used to have to worry about the
1:22
Speaker 2: Saudis or the cartel of raising the price of oil? Well,
1:25
Speaker 2: we're the cartel now. We're it. We have 80% of
1:30
Speaker 2: the world's oil supply. Thanks to President Trump when he
1:33
Speaker 2: took office opening up all that drilling. Unlike Biden who
1:36
Speaker 2: closed it down, that's why he had gas up to
1:40
Speaker 2: $ 5 a gallon, but President Trump opened up the drilling everywhere.
1:43
Speaker 2: We are now the biggest producer of oil in the world.
1:47
Speaker 2: We make more oil than we could ever use. We're
1:49
Speaker 2: the biggest exporter of oil. We are Saudi Arabia now.
1:53
Speaker 2: We're the oil supplier of the world. But the prices
1:56
Speaker 2: are not that high. They're way below Joe Biden levels.
2:00
Speaker 2: But they're too high. So the president will meet with
2:03
Speaker 2: the leaders of the oil industry. Now, the meeting is
2:06
Speaker 2: not to just yell at them to lower the prices.
2:08
Speaker 2: The meeting is other things. We're going to put back
2:12
Speaker 2: all the oil in the strategic reserve. Remember, Biden kept
2:15
Speaker 2: draining it. The Strategic Oil Reserve, very important. That's our
2:19
Speaker 2: oil supply in a time of war, total catastrophe. And
2:24
Speaker 2: I'm going to work with the oil companies to fill
2:26
Speaker 2: that up. By the way, the president very quietly setting
2:30
Speaker 2: up a strategic medicine reserve. You know, we don't make
2:36
Speaker 2: a lot of our medicine. Some of our most vital medicines,
2:39
Speaker 2: life-saving stuff, our antibiotics, they're all made in China. So
2:44
Speaker 2: in the case of the worst emergency, war, whatever, we
2:47
Speaker 2: could be cut off from our supply of medicine. So
2:51
Speaker 2: the president creating a huge stockpile of medicine, and it's
2:55
Speaker 2: a good idea. It should have been done before. The
2:57
Speaker 2: president wants to make sure we're totally covered in case
3:00
Speaker 2: of any emergency.
3:01
Speaker 3: We have a strategic reserve that is amazing that a
3:04
Speaker 3: lot of people don't know about, but they've just built
3:07
Speaker 3: it up, topping it out. These materials are critical for
3:12
Speaker 3: life-saving lives. medicines used to treat seizures, bacterial infections, high
3:17
Speaker 3: blood pressure, and organ failure, and especially in.
3:20
Speaker 4: Times of need. We have a stockpile, and it's an
3:23
Speaker 4: amazing thing.
3:25
Speaker 2: And very good idea. By the way, the president's done
3:28
Speaker 2: a lot of things recently to brought down the price
3:30
Speaker 2: of medicine everywhere. You know, people may have noticed you
3:33
Speaker 2: buy your medicine here, it's $ 300. You're in London, it's $ 15.
3:36
Speaker 2: You're in Paris, it's $ 12. So, He's taken steps to
3:42
Speaker 2: make sure that these companies and governments start equalizing the
3:48
Speaker 2: prices everywhere.
3:49
Speaker 4: Now other countries are paying more so that Americans can
3:53
Speaker 4: pay less. We had to get their prices up in
3:55
Speaker 4: order to get our prices down. And they went up
3:58
Speaker 4: very considerably, and we went down by much more because
4:02
Speaker 4: the world is a bigger place.
4:04
Speaker 2: Very good idea. Why didn't every other president do that?
4:07
Speaker 2: I don't know, because they're politicians. getting massive donations from
4:10
Speaker 2: those drug companies. They're not going to bother anybody. You
4:14
Speaker 2: know what? Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Netanyahu's son has been living
4:19
Speaker 2: in Miami all this time. Well, there was a very,
4:23
Speaker 2: very serious threat against him. Iran apparently about to kill him.
4:28
Speaker 2: He was quickly evacuated last night, emergency evacuation from the
4:35
Speaker 2: United States. He's no longer in the country, but that's a,
4:38
Speaker 2: What Iran has come to, trying to kill people's children,
4:42
Speaker 2: trying to go after Barron Trump. And apparently a very
4:46
Speaker 2: serious threat was detected against Netanyahu's son. And he was
4:49
Speaker 2: quickly removed from the country. I assume he's back in Israel.
4:53
Speaker 2: Nobody knows exactly where he's gone to. But, hey, the
4:57
Speaker 2: president got approval for the ballroom. The Supreme Court ruled
5:01
Speaker 2: on it. The ballroom can continue construction. Now, nobody builds
5:06
Speaker 2: faster than professional builders like Trump. If the government were
5:10
Speaker 2: to build that ballroom, it'd be a 15-year project. Seriously,
5:13
Speaker 2: it'd be 15 years to get that thing built. And
5:16
Speaker 2: it would go over budget by 10,000%. But it's President Trump,
5:23
Speaker 2: who's a professional builder, and he's built hundreds of ballrooms.
5:27
Speaker 2: So this will go pretty fast. Still, it's going to
5:29
Speaker 2: take almost a year to get it up. It may
5:33
Speaker 2: not even be done until the end of next year,
5:35
Speaker 2: which will be the end of the president's term. So
5:37
Speaker 2: he might not get to use this ballroom. Now, it's
5:41
Speaker 2: not just a ballroom. Underneath important military stuff, there'll be
5:45
Speaker 2: a security bunker. There'll be a modern situation room. If
5:49
Speaker 2: you've seen the video in the old situation room, the
5:52
Speaker 2: current situation room, it's like a den from 1975 with
5:55
Speaker 2: like a VHS machine and.
6:01
Speaker 2: And old Zenith TVs, and it's old. The new Situation
6:05
Speaker 2: Room will be absolutely state-of-the-art. The ballroom, the construction will
6:11
Speaker 2: start probably today. There's hundreds of workers he's got working.
6:15
Speaker 2: This will drive the left and the media crazy. These
6:20
Speaker 2: White House reporters, as they come in and out of
6:22
Speaker 2: the White, they're going to hear all that construction. They're
6:24
Speaker 2: going to see the ballroom being built. It's going to
6:26
Speaker 2: drive them nuts. Now, let me just warn you about
6:29
Speaker 2: the next controversy. The president is now going to renovate
6:35
Speaker 2: the bowling alley in the White House. There's actually two
6:38
Speaker 2: bowling alleys. There's a two-lane bowling alley that's across the street,
6:43
Speaker 2: the Eisenhower office building. And there's a one-lane bowling alley
6:47
Speaker 2: in the White House for the president and his family. Now,
6:52
Speaker 2: Truman was a big bowler. I think he's the one
6:55
Speaker 2: that built the two-lane bowling alley. bowling alley. Eisenhower was
6:58
Speaker 2: a golfer, not a bowler, and he had no need
7:01
Speaker 2: for this two-lane bowling alley. So he had it moved
7:04
Speaker 2: to the Eisenhower office building, but they kept a one-lane
7:08
Speaker 2: bowling alley in the White House. You know who was
7:10
Speaker 2: a big bowler? It was Nixon. He loved bowling. So
7:16
Speaker 2: I guarantee you, Donald Trump is not a bowler, not
7:18
Speaker 2: going to go bowling. It's not something that interests him.
7:21
Speaker 2: It's an old-fashioned kind of sport. You know, who goes bowling?
7:25
Speaker 2: Ralph Cramden goes bowling. Archie Bunker goes bowling. It's an old-fashioned.
7:30
Speaker 2: Remember Ralph with the bowling team? All right. King of Queens.
7:35
Speaker 2: Doug Heffernan was on the bowling team. All right. But
7:38
Speaker 2: it's not a Donald Trump type of sport. Not going
7:42
Speaker 2: to happen. But he's going to spend. Now, they're going
7:45
Speaker 2: to make a stink about this. The left and the
7:47
Speaker 2: media will find a reason to go crazy over this.
7:49
Speaker 2: But he's only going to spend. You know, it's not
7:52
Speaker 2: like building a golf course where it's $ 12 million. To
7:54
Speaker 2: redo the bowling alley. 250,000. Trump's got that much on him. 250,000.
8:00
Speaker 2: This is for both bowling facilities. They'll rebuild them completely. Apparently,
8:05
Speaker 2: they've got to modernize it with all the latest digital everything.
8:10
Speaker 2: So the ballroom will continue. You know, the president is
8:13
Speaker 2: also doing a lot of work at Bedminster. You know
8:16
Speaker 2: what Mar-a-Lago looks like. It's magnificent. It's like a palace.
8:19
Speaker 2: It's a resort. It's got ballrooms. It's got every restaurant. Well, Bedminster...
8:25
Speaker 2: The club he has in New Jersey is a much
8:27
Speaker 2: smaller club. It's got a very nice golf course. And
8:29
Speaker 2: it's got a clubhouse with a restaurant and a bar
8:32
Speaker 2: and a little bit of a party room, not much.
8:35
Speaker 2: But he's going to turn that into more of a Mar-a-Lago.
8:38
Speaker 2: He got the okay from the township to build a ballroom.
8:41
Speaker 2: There's going to be a huge ballroom now, a massive
8:45
Speaker 2: ballroom at Bedminster. He's going to have to build an
8:47
Speaker 2: additional parking lot as part of the deal. He'll have
8:50
Speaker 2: to build an add-on to the sewer system so he
8:54
Speaker 2: can handle all this. And there's a lot of property there.
8:58
Speaker 2: He's going to probably start building some other buildings there,
9:01
Speaker 2: his own residence. Because when he leaves the White House,
9:05
Speaker 2: he's got to have somewhere to go. You know, the
9:06
Speaker 2: problem is, he used to obviously live in Trump Tower.
9:10
Speaker 2: And I always think of him there because that's where
9:12
Speaker 2: I always saw him, in Trump Tower, in his apartment,
9:14
Speaker 2: in his office. Trump Tower, beautiful building, 56th and 5th.
9:18
Speaker 2: But now when I walk by and look at it,
9:20
Speaker 2: I realize he can't live there. You know, if you've
9:23
Speaker 2: been president, if you live in the White House with the,
9:26
Speaker 2: hundreds of people around you, military, Secret Service. Same thing
9:31
Speaker 2: in Mar-a-Lago. It's an enormous, it's bigger than the White House.
9:35
Speaker 2: It's got everything. There's military all over the place, Secret Service,
9:39
Speaker 2: millions of people. You can't go back to just an
9:41
Speaker 2: apartment building with a doorman. It's going to be too
9:45
Speaker 2: small for a guy like this. He's not going to
9:47
Speaker 2: be able to go. So I think that's why a
9:49
Speaker 2: lot of construction about to take place at Bedminster. That'll
9:52
Speaker 2: become the summer Trump residence. Mar-a-Lago will become the winter residence.
9:58
Speaker 2: So the data centers, the controversy continues. Now, about two
10:04
Speaker 2: years from now, three years from now, a data center
10:07
Speaker 2: is going to be like a Starbucks. There'll be one everywhere.
10:10
Speaker 2: It'll be a common thing. They don't bother anybody. They
10:13
Speaker 2: don't harm anybody. There's nothing dangerous about it. You know,
10:16
Speaker 2: the Democrats always, any election, they've got to find a demon,
10:20
Speaker 2: a boogeyman to fight against. They used to use nuclear reactors.
10:25
Speaker 2: Nuclear reactors were the most dangerous.
10:27
Speaker 3: Why?
10:27
Speaker 2: If there's a nuclear reactor within a thousand miles of
10:30
Speaker 2: your life, is it risk? No truth to that. Nobody's
10:33
Speaker 2: ever had a problem in this country with nuclear reactors.
10:36
Speaker 2: Even Three Mile Island, when it melted down, nobody was killed.
10:40
Speaker 2: What was the old joke they used to use? More
10:43
Speaker 2: people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than in nuclear
10:46
Speaker 2: accidents in this country. So it's the same thing with
10:51
Speaker 2: a data center. It's just a big, enormous building. It's
10:54
Speaker 2: a massive building. It's just a building. What are you
10:57
Speaker 2: so scared of? All right, it makes a lot of noise.
11:00
Speaker 2: It's a very noisy building. And the noise, you can
11:03
Speaker 2: hear it from a half a mile away, but it's
11:05
Speaker 2: the same thing with LaGuardia or Kennedy Airport. Look where
11:09
Speaker 2: LaGuardia is. It's right in the middle of a residential area.
11:13
Speaker 2: Look where Kennedy is. It's right in the middle of
11:14
Speaker 2: a bunch of residential towns. Makes a hell of a
11:17
Speaker 2: lot more noise than the data center. So it's going
11:20
Speaker 2: to be like that. And they'll figure out how to
11:21
Speaker 2: get that noise quieter and quieter. The problem of it
11:24
Speaker 2: using up everybody's electricity, well, that's been exaggerated. And they'll
11:29
Speaker 2: have that solved pretty soon. They'll have these little mini
11:32
Speaker 2: nuclear reactors in there. They'll use hydrogen power. And they
11:36
Speaker 2: won't bother anybody's electricity. The forests, they're using too much
11:39
Speaker 2: water supply. They're recycling water now. They don't use that
11:42
Speaker 2: much water. And they'll figure out the noise. But the
11:45
Speaker 2: data centers, even the unions are getting behind these data
11:50
Speaker 2: centers because when they build one, it's a massive building.
11:53
Speaker 2: And all you see are thousands of hardhats. It's a
11:56
Speaker 2: lot of jobs, construction jobs. It creates a lot of jobs,
11:59
Speaker 2: a lot of activity. You know, they're spending like, I
12:03
Speaker 2: can't remember, all together they're going to spend like $ 5
12:05
Speaker 2: trillion building these data centers. One thing they should do,
12:09
Speaker 2: these companies building these data centers, take a few million
12:13
Speaker 2: and start advertising to the community. Do a campaign to
12:17
Speaker 2: show them how not so bad and it's pretty helpful.
12:21
Speaker 2: And also, you could start sending out checks to people.
12:24
Speaker 2: You know, pay their electric bills. It's pocket change for
12:27
Speaker 2: a data center.
12:29
Speaker 6: But.
12:30
Speaker 2: A lot of communities want them. They create jobs. Listen
12:32
Speaker 2: to President Trump.
12:33
Speaker 7: I'm only saying that if I ran a community. Now,
12:36
Speaker 7: there are different types of communities. But generally speaking, if
12:39
Speaker 7: I ran a community, if I was a mayor or
12:41
Speaker 7: if I was a governor in the state, I would
12:44
Speaker 7: want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income.
12:49
Speaker 2: Yeah. Let him build the data center. He built the
12:53
Speaker 2: data center. It would be gold everywhere. The data center
12:55
Speaker 2: would have a ballroom. It would have a heliport. Anyway,
12:59
Speaker 2: so the latest on Iran, the situation, very, very grim
13:05
Speaker 2: for the Iranians, very grim. Even, well, their leader saying
13:11
Speaker 2: the country's about to collapse economically. Inflation is like 150%.
13:16
Speaker 2: There is video leaking out of Iran, you know, people
13:20
Speaker 2: with their phones making videos. You can see ridiculously long
13:24
Speaker 2: gas lines, supermarkets with no food in them. It's a
13:29
Speaker 2: bad situation over there.
13:30
Speaker 4: They don't really know.
13:31
Speaker 2: In my opinion, they don't know who the leader is.
13:33
Speaker 4: You have the radicals, but they've been wiped out from
13:37
Speaker 4: the standpoint of the military because the military is just
13:40
Speaker 4: a fraction of what it was. I don't really think
13:43
Speaker 4: they know who their leader is.
13:44
Speaker 2: Now, that's the other problem. Negotiating with, you don't know
13:48
Speaker 2: who you're negotiating with. And whoever you negotiate over there
13:50
Speaker 2: is always lying. As they always say, Iran loses every
13:53
Speaker 2: war and wins every negotiation. Because whatever they agree to,
13:56
Speaker 2: they don't follow. Scott Besson has become one of the
13:59
Speaker 2: great generals in this war, wiping out their economy. Good
14:03
Speaker 2: for him. And he's leading the charge against Canada, which
14:09
Speaker 2: is battling the U.S. Besson even yesterday saying, what's the
14:12
Speaker 2: worst they could do to us? Send their two old
14:14
Speaker 2: submarines after us? But you remember the Canadian leader, Carney,
14:19
Speaker 2: Always after the U.S., as Besson reminded everybody.
14:22
Speaker 8: He came to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump agenda. He
14:28
Speaker 8: was 20 points behind in the poll. And then he
14:30
Speaker 8: started this. And it's unfortunate that he's not doing what's
14:33
Speaker 8: best for the Canadian people. He's doing what is best
14:36
Speaker 8: for the Liberal Party, what's best for Mark Carney. And
14:39
Speaker 8: in the long run, the Canadian people are going to
14:41
Speaker 8: see through that.
14:42
Speaker 9: Yeah.
14:43
Speaker 2: So don't worry about the Canadian stuff. It'll blow over
14:47
Speaker 2: in a little while. Now, we'll get to Anna Wintour,
14:51
Speaker 2: who runs the Met Gala, the most expensive party in
14:55
Speaker 2: the world. She has really screwed up this time. She's
15:00
Speaker 2: in trouble. I think they're going to toss her out
15:02
Speaker 2: of there at any moment. We'll get to that in
15:05
Speaker 2: a second. Also, there's some real questions about her character now.
15:11
Speaker 2: I don't mean being cold and mean, but being a
15:13
Speaker 2: real anti-Semite. And we'll get to that coming up. We'll
15:17
Speaker 2: get to the midterms. We'll get to Howard Stern and
15:20
Speaker 2: his new job. And we'll get to our crazy little mayor,
15:24
Speaker 2: crazy little Mom Donnie. Although he did one good thing yesterday.
15:28
Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that coming up. It's Mark
15:31
Speaker 2: Simone here. Nine to noon every day. Don't forget, it's three. Well,
15:35
Speaker 2: you're listening right now. You must know it's three hours,
15:37
Speaker 2: nine to noon. But let everybody else know. 9 to
15:41
Speaker 2: noon every weekday here on 710WOR. Now, much more Mark.
15:47
Speaker 5: Mark Simone.
15:49
Speaker 2: Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
15:51
Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
16:02
Speaker 2: Oh, it's the first day of September. I don't know
16:05
Speaker 2: how that happened, but it's... Sorry, it's September already. So
16:12
Speaker 2: Anna Wintour, Vogue magazine all those years, Condé Nast. She's
16:17
Speaker 2: really not running Vogue anymore. They kind of pushed her upstairs.
16:21
Speaker 2: But the other thing she ran is the Met Gala.
16:24
Speaker 2: Every year, the Met Gala. There's all these big charity
16:27
Speaker 2: things in New York City, these big galas every year.
16:30
Speaker 2: There's the big ones like the Rita Hayworth Gala, the
16:34
Speaker 2: Parkinson's Gala, this. But the Met Gala. honors the Costume
16:39
Speaker 2: Institute at the Metropolitan Museum. And now I stopped going
16:44
Speaker 2: to this Met Gala because it was like in the 90s.
16:46
Speaker 2: It was like the biggest names in New York society.
16:50
Speaker 2: It was the great billionaires and the great society figures.
16:54
Speaker 2: And they're all gone. They're all dead, actually. But I guess...
17:02
Speaker 2: It was Anna Wintour who wanted to do it. Well,
17:04
Speaker 2: once she took over running this, she kind of got
17:06
Speaker 2: away from that and she got more into tabloidy stuff.
17:09
Speaker 2: It became more Kardashians and it became more music people.
17:13
Speaker 2: And it got trashier and trashier and crazier and crazier.
17:17
Speaker 2: But the good thing about these Kardashian types and these
17:20
Speaker 2: music people, you can charge them more money. So where
17:23
Speaker 2: the tickets used to be $ 1, 000, the tickets are now $ 50, 000.
17:25
Speaker 2: If you want to buy a table, it used to
17:27
Speaker 2: be $ 25, 000. Now it's a million, 10 million for a table.
17:33
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. But good for her. She made
17:36
Speaker 2: all this money, brought in more revenue than ever for
17:39
Speaker 2: the Met Gala. But every year they honor somebody. You know,
17:44
Speaker 2: one year it was Ralph Lauren. It's, you know, it's fashion.
17:49
Speaker 2: So it's always the fashion guys, the honoree. Ralph Lauren,
17:53
Speaker 2: you could see him being the honoree. So she picks
17:56
Speaker 2: John Galliano, the French designer, worked for Christian Dior and
17:59
Speaker 2: all these places. And it turns out that he is
18:02
Speaker 2: the biggest anti-Semite in the world. Now, when I say
18:06
Speaker 2: the biggest anti-Semite, I don't mean that he's made anti-Israel comments.
18:10
Speaker 2: I don't mean that he's made some sort of anti-Semitic remarks. No,
18:15
Speaker 2: this guy's a screaming, Hitler-loving anti-Semite. This guy actually was
18:21
Speaker 2: fired from Christian Dior. They fired him in 2012. Just
18:28
Speaker 2: to give you an example of this guy, Galliano, there
18:30
Speaker 2: was an incident in Paris in 2011, and there was
18:34
Speaker 2: a lot of video of this. You can see it
18:35
Speaker 2: on video. He's in a restaurant. I don't know. Some
18:38
Speaker 2: got into a fight, argument with some people. They were Jewish.
18:41
Speaker 2: He stands up and starts screaming that all the Jews
18:46
Speaker 2: should be gassed. Hitler was right. He's screaming this over
18:50
Speaker 2: and over again, yelling the most vile, disgusting anti-Semitic stuff
18:54
Speaker 2: in the world. And people have video of it. So
18:56
Speaker 2: He was actually convicted in Paris, convicted of hate crimes,
19:01
Speaker 2: yelling that everybody should, all Jews should be gassed. I mean,
19:04
Speaker 2: he was convicted of hate crimes. This is just one
19:08
Speaker 2: example of his past. There's all this stuff in his past.
19:11
Speaker 2: So somehow Anna Wintour picks him to be the honoree
19:14
Speaker 2: this year. And there's nothing but controversy over this. And yesterday,
19:21
Speaker 2: Galeano pulled out. He announced he didn't want to be
19:23
Speaker 2: a distraction, so he's withdrawing as the honoree and he
19:28
Speaker 2: said he appreciated the honor but he didn't want to
19:31
Speaker 2: distract from the great work of nobody knows what the
19:33
Speaker 2: hell this costume institute actually does but uh so anna
19:38
Speaker 2: windtower was very gracious to him and we're sorry to
19:41
Speaker 2: see you go you know you're a great person so
19:46
Speaker 2: now everybody's looking at this first of all Wintour trying
19:49
Speaker 2: to make it look like she did, stepped up and
19:50
Speaker 2: did the right thing. Well, that's not at all what happened.
19:53
Speaker 2: It turns out there was heavy pressure coming at her
19:56
Speaker 2: the last couple months, serious pressure from all the top
19:59
Speaker 2: Jewish organizations, the ADL. And then the politicians got involved.
20:05
Speaker 2: The city council speaker, Julie Mennon, put a lot of
20:08
Speaker 2: pressure on her. So it got to be too much,
20:10
Speaker 2: the pressure, and that's why they had him withdraw. And
20:14
Speaker 2: even Mamdani jumped in. This guy's too much of an anti-Semite,
20:17
Speaker 2: even for Mamdani. Even Mamdani spoke out against him. So
20:21
Speaker 2: they had to get rid of him. But now a
20:24
Speaker 2: lot of people are talking. There's a lot of whistleblowers
20:26
Speaker 2: coming out saying that, hey, behind the scenes, as soon
20:30
Speaker 2: as he was nominated a long time ago, everybody involved
20:34
Speaker 2: started yelling at Anna Wintour. This guy's a vicious person.
20:37
Speaker 2: vile anti-Semite and they started going through his past and
20:40
Speaker 2: she still stuck with him. So she may try to
20:43
Speaker 2: act like she's done the right thing here, but she
20:46
Speaker 2: knew all along about this guy and was all for
20:49
Speaker 2: him and still pushed for him. She got a lot
20:52
Speaker 2: of pushback, even from the museum, from everybody, but she
20:56
Speaker 2: fought to keep him despite all of that. So you
20:58
Speaker 2: got to figure she is a total anti-Semite. Who the
21:02
Speaker 2: hell could defend a guy like this? He's convicted of
21:06
Speaker 2: hate crimes. He's screaming that Hitler was right. Jews should
21:09
Speaker 2: all be gassed. This is the guy you stand by.
21:13
Speaker 2: You got to figure she is the ugliest, most vicious
21:16
Speaker 2: anti-Semite in the world. So now a lot of people
21:19
Speaker 2: are calling for her to be out from the costume institute,
21:24
Speaker 2: the Met Gala, and Condé Nast. So she may have
21:28
Speaker 2: totally miscalculated her power and what she could get away with.
21:31
Speaker 2: Some people now inside believe this is the moment. where
21:36
Speaker 2: she's going to have to step down. She's been there
21:38
Speaker 2: 40 years at Condé Nast. She outlasted all the big
21:42
Speaker 2: editors there, the other ones, her rivals, Tina Brown, Graydon Carter,
21:46
Speaker 2: but she miscalculated completely here. Should be out September 1st.
21:55
Speaker 2: Let's say by October 1st, she's gone. She announces she's retiring.
22:01
Speaker 2: She wants to spend more time with her family. Did
22:05
Speaker 2: you ever see her family? Nobody wants to spend any
22:06
Speaker 2: time with them. She will be out, I predict, within
22:10
Speaker 2: one month. That's the end of her. She will be gone.
22:13
Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, her crazy pied-a-terre tax. We'll get to this
22:20
Speaker 2: in a few minutes. You're never going to see this
22:21
Speaker 2: pied-a-terre tax. It's a total disaster. It makes absolutely no sense. Hey,
22:27
Speaker 2: but good for Mom Donnie. He finally did one good
22:29
Speaker 2: thing yesterday. He signed the bill. to make outdoor dining
22:33
Speaker 2: permanent in New York and year-round. Although if I think
22:38
Speaker 2: about it, wait a minute, what do you mean outdoor
22:39
Speaker 2: dining year-round? In the middle of winter? It's like two degrees.
22:44
Speaker 2: Who's going to eat out? Well, it's good anyway. It
22:46
Speaker 2: helps the restaurants. Now, there'd be restrictions. You remember outdoor
22:51
Speaker 2: dining was great during the pandemic, but then those sheds
22:55
Speaker 2: and those tables started to take away half the street.
22:58
Speaker 2: And then they would build these sheds, that looked like
23:01
Speaker 2: you were eating in an outhouse. I mean, it was
23:03
Speaker 2: kind of silly, especially the finer restaurants. You go to Danielle,
23:08
Speaker 2: which is one of the finest French restaurants in the world.
23:11
Speaker 2: You ever been inside Danielle? It is beautiful. It's magnificent looking.
23:16
Speaker 2: But some people would choose, oh, let's eat outside. Well,
23:19
Speaker 2: they built sheds outside. There were nice looking sheds, but
23:22
Speaker 2: you're not in this beautiful restaurant in there. That's half
23:25
Speaker 2: the experience. You're eating in this wooden shed. And by
23:27
Speaker 2: the way, the bottom of those sheds at night, are
23:31
Speaker 2: nothing but rats. That's the problem with that outdoor dining
23:35
Speaker 2: because as people eat, they keep dropping food all the time.
23:38
Speaker 2: Crumbs are falling into the cracks at the bottom of
23:40
Speaker 2: those shits. So at night, rats would come through like crazy.
23:43
Speaker 2: Only certain restaurants. Avra was very good at this. Only
23:48
Speaker 2: certain restaurants at night would take all the tables and
23:51
Speaker 2: scrub down the sidewalk and get rid of all that
23:54
Speaker 2: food down there. They put soap and water and everything.
23:57
Speaker 2: But very few restaurants did that. Anyway, we've got a
24:00
Speaker 2: lot to get to. We'll get this pied-a-terre text. Well,
24:02
Speaker 2: you'll never see it. You'll never see it. And we'll
24:05
Speaker 2: get to Howard Stern and a lot more coming up.
24:08
Speaker 5: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
24:12
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
24:13
Speaker 9: 800-321-0710.
24:13
Speaker 2: So, Kathy Hochul, you know, this crazy pied-a-terre text. crazy
24:28
Speaker 2: mom donnie to it sounds good to their base that
24:31
Speaker 2: we'll go after these wealthy people these rich you see
24:34
Speaker 2: these politicians can never admit the problem is overspending this
24:39
Speaker 2: the budget is double what it should be double what
24:43
Speaker 2: it should be you could cut the budget in half
24:44
Speaker 2: and a lot of this is fraud waste bloat overpaying
24:48
Speaker 2: by 10 000 for everything that it's just endless waste
24:52
Speaker 2: so the when there's a shortfall, they act like it's
24:56
Speaker 2: those rich people's fault. This is the idea of democratic socialism.
25:00
Speaker 2: It's rich people telling poor people that the reason you're
25:04
Speaker 2: poor is these other rich people did it to you.
25:07
Speaker 2: And then they can just keep increasing the tax on
25:10
Speaker 2: the wealthy, but it gets to the point where the
25:13
Speaker 2: rate is just ridiculously high. So they come up with
25:15
Speaker 2: these crazy ideas. Remember years ago, they tried this, we're
25:18
Speaker 2: going to tax all the private jet owners. We'll tax
25:22
Speaker 2: every private jet owner in that way. Well, that's 75 people.
25:27
Speaker 2: It's not that many people. If you taxed them all 100%,
25:31
Speaker 2: it would run the government for three and a half seconds.
25:33
Speaker 2: That's about it. It doesn't do anything. It's the same
25:35
Speaker 2: thing with the Pierre de Terre tax. It's Pierre de
25:37
Speaker 2: Terre tax. It's just a handful of people. It doesn't
25:40
Speaker 2: do anything.
25:41
Speaker 7: Courts.
25:41
Speaker 2: Is that my phone? No, it's my watch talking to me.
25:45
Speaker 6: Sorry.
25:47
Speaker 2: Stupid Apple Watch. Where was I? It's the most convoluted scheme,
25:53
Speaker 2: this Pieta Terra tax. You've got even left-wing judges stopping it.
25:57
Speaker 2: You've got a Staten Island judge blocking it. They can't
26:00
Speaker 2: figure out who should be on the list, who shouldn't
26:02
Speaker 2: be on the list. They put out a list of
26:04
Speaker 2: like 90,000 names. Turns out 75,000 of them were the
26:08
Speaker 2: wrong names. And listen to Hochul try to explain it.
26:11
Speaker 2: She can't even explain this thing.
26:12
Speaker 5: So the larger number that was in the news was–
26:16
Speaker 5: A different dynamic, I'll say. So what they're talking about
26:19
Speaker 5: is getting down to what we actually projected. So we
26:22
Speaker 5: don't see that there'll be a loss in revenue from
26:25
Speaker 5: what we expect to bring in because we've always been
26:28
Speaker 5: estimating at 10,000. So them scaling it back will not
26:31
Speaker 5: have the effect that people are concerned about.
26:34
Speaker 2: What a bunch of double talk. First of all, whatever
26:36
Speaker 2: it was going to bring in is nothing. Listen to
26:38
Speaker 2: this sentence.
26:39
Speaker 5: So the larger number that was in the news was...
26:42
Speaker 5: A different dynamic, I'll say.
26:44
Speaker 2: It's a number. How could it have a dynamic? The
26:46
Speaker 2: larger number was a different dynamic. What the hell is
26:49
Speaker 2: he talking about? The larger number was false. It was wrong.
26:52
Speaker 2: It was totally wrong, completely wrong. Let's take some calls.
26:56
Speaker 2: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how are
27:00
Speaker 2: you doing?
27:01
Speaker 6: Hi.
27:02
Speaker 10: Look at me at the 9 o'clock hour. I'm so excited.
27:05
Speaker 2: Well, that's like lunchtime in North Carolina, right?
27:09
Speaker 10: No, but listen, the six-year-old is back in school, so
27:12
Speaker 10: I can make calls now.
27:14
Speaker 2: No, but 9 o'clock, North Carolina, usually down at the
27:17
Speaker 2: fishing hole with Opie, right?
27:19
Speaker 6: Well, no.
27:20
Speaker 10: You know that we're very, very modern.
27:23
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I know.
27:24
Speaker 10: All the modern, all us New Yorkers are moving here. Anyway,
27:29
Speaker 10: I'm going to, you were going down memory lane yesterday,
27:33
Speaker 10: so I'm going to keep it light today. And I
27:34
Speaker 10: had a question for you I always wanted to ask.
27:36
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
27:38
Speaker 10: About Sue Simmons and Phil Collins.
27:40
Speaker 6: Take it away.
27:41
Speaker 2: Sue Simmons, the great, not so great, but pretty good
27:44
Speaker 2: anchor woman on Channel 4, and Phil Collins?
27:48
Speaker 10: Yes. I mean, I might have gotten mixed up with
27:52
Speaker 10: another anchor that's legendary, but somebody had an affair with
27:55
Speaker 10: Phil Collins and was crushed that it Didn't work. Come on,
28:00
Speaker 10: you know everything.
28:01
Speaker 2: Well, the Phil Collins part could be true, but Sue Simmons?
28:05
Speaker 2: I think he's got better eyesight than that, don't you?
28:07
Speaker 10: No, okay, maybe.
28:08
Speaker 2: I don't know.
28:09
Speaker 10: Now you're going to have to Google it, because I
28:12
Speaker 10: didn't want to do that. Oh my gosh, now I'm
28:15
Speaker 10: creating this big possible false story.
28:19
Speaker 2: A lot of these anchors that you see on those shows,
28:21
Speaker 2: they're pretty good looking people. They have a lot of affairs,
28:24
Speaker 2: those people. I don't want to mention any names.
28:27
Speaker 10: But, I mean, whoever it was was huge, and I
28:30
Speaker 10: thought it was– it was somebody that you'd never think
28:33
Speaker 10: would be with Phil Collins. And he's still local, right?
28:35
Speaker 10: And he's not doing well, by the way. But she was, like, so– like,
28:40
Speaker 10: literally kind of lost a couple of nights on the air,
28:44
Speaker 10: whoever it was.
28:44
Speaker 2: Well, remember, she had a little– she loved to drink.
28:48
Speaker 2: Remember that incident where she was– cursing and didn't know
28:51
Speaker 2: the microphone was open.
28:52
Speaker 10: But now I want you to dig into the story
28:55
Speaker 10: and let me know.
28:56
Speaker 2: I'll be listening. It's not exactly the Kennedy assassination. I mean,
28:59
Speaker 2: the investigation on this.
29:01
Speaker 10: I told you I was keeping it light today.
29:03
Speaker 2: All right. I'll ask around, see what I can find out.
29:06
Speaker 10: I'm not going to ask you about the Lindsay Clancy
29:08
Speaker 10: case because that will just really ramp it up.
29:12
Speaker 2: I can't get involved in that. I don't know why.
29:14
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like there's going to be a
29:16
Speaker 2: hung jury or a mistrial there. Oh, that's good. I
29:19
Speaker 2: don't know if it's good. She murdered her kids.
29:22
Speaker 10: Well, I know, but she admitted it, and she had
29:24
Speaker 10: a psychosis. So I'm not going to get into that,
29:27
Speaker 10: but I'm just so thrilled to hear you on a
29:28
Speaker 10: 9 o'clock hour.
29:29
Speaker 2: She admitted it? It's okay to kill your kids if
29:32
Speaker 2: you admit it? That's okay?
29:34
Speaker 10: No, she had a psychosis. It's a medical thing, trust me.
29:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, right. It's true.
29:38
Speaker 10: But anyway.
29:39
Speaker 2: All right, Kathy. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Dave
29:42
Speaker 2: in New City. Dave, how you doing? Good.
29:46
Speaker 6: How you doing, Mark?
29:46
Speaker 9: Good.
29:47
Speaker 6: You know, I was thinking, now that you have a
29:49
Speaker 6: three-hour show, maybe you should bring in Vincent from Brooklyn
29:54
Speaker 6: to be your co-host.
29:55
Speaker 11: What do you think?
29:56
Speaker 2: I think I'm doing fine. Vincent's a great caller. He's
29:59
Speaker 2: not a professional host.
30:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he would be a good addition to
30:03
Speaker 6: your show.
30:04
Speaker 2: Well, I hate to break it to you. That's why
30:06
Speaker 2: nobody's hired you to be a program director. Nobody pays
30:10
Speaker 2: you to be a radio consultant.
30:13
Speaker 6: You're right.
30:15
Speaker 2: What do you do for a living?
30:17
Speaker 6: I own a pickleball facility.
30:20
Speaker 1: Really?
30:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to come play?
30:22
Speaker 2: Hey, so how long have you had it?
30:26
Speaker 6: Five months.
30:27
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, so you just started. Have you seen any
30:29
Speaker 2: decrease in pickleball interest?
30:34
Speaker 6: No, only increase by millions.
30:37
Speaker 2: Wow. All right. It's taken off. What is the hardest
30:42
Speaker 2: thing of running a pickleball place? What's the most expensive stuff,
30:45
Speaker 2: like maintaining stuff?
30:47
Speaker 6: No, no, the hardest thing is dealing with the customers.
30:51
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah, but it's a new city. You got
30:54
Speaker 2: nice people there. It's Rockland County, all very nice people.
30:56
Speaker 6: You're right.
30:57
Speaker 2: Yeah. Go open one in Boca Raton. You want to
31:00
Speaker 2: see some complaining? Open in Boca Raton.
31:03
Speaker 6: No thanks.
31:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, open in Boca Raton. And keep them waiting half
31:08
Speaker 2: a second. What's taking so long? You'll see nothing but arguing.
31:12
Speaker 2: Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil, how you doing?
31:16
Speaker 11: Thank you, Mark.
31:18
Speaker 9: Although there was no legislation... Do you think that the
31:21
Speaker 9: publicity about voter ID and mail-in voting will help tamp
31:29
Speaker 9: down fraud, just the fact that it's in the news
31:31
Speaker 9: all the time?
31:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's good. It'll eventually stop it once you
31:35
Speaker 2: expose it all. But the problem is you're not going
31:37
Speaker 2: to get this by the midterms. It's a little too late.
31:40
Speaker 2: Even if you get that Save America Act, it really
31:43
Speaker 2: won't go into effect in time to do much in
31:45
Speaker 2: the midterms. But this voter fraud is very, very real.
31:48
Speaker 2: You remember the fake news would say there, there's no
31:51
Speaker 2: voter fraud. And then they, they would confess even George
31:54
Speaker 2: Stephanopoulos and others would confess. Well, it's very small. It's
31:58
Speaker 2: a 1%. It's not enough to make it, but it's
32:01
Speaker 2: getting exposed more and more. Illegals are voting like crazy.
32:04
Speaker 2: Turns out New Jersey had to confess. The governor had
32:07
Speaker 2: to confess. She found 6,000 illegals voting, which means 60,000.
32:12
Speaker 2: And you got these driving schools, Scott, uh, Besant and, uh,
32:17
Speaker 2: Sean Duffy and others talking about this yesterday. Duffy, Department
32:20
Speaker 2: of Transportation, they've gone after 270 driving schools. It turns
32:26
Speaker 2: out they were given licenses to illegals. Not only licenses,
32:30
Speaker 2: but there were 100 of them that they've already targeted
32:33
Speaker 2: now as the worst. They were given commercial driver's licenses,
32:37
Speaker 2: which means these illegals who don't speak English can't read
32:41
Speaker 2: the road signs. are driving big 18-wheeler trucks. You know,
32:45
Speaker 2: people have been killed by these illegals because they couldn't
32:49
Speaker 2: read the sign, they didn't know what a stop sign was,
32:51
Speaker 2: and people have died in these accidents. So they're targeting
32:54
Speaker 2: those schools, and good for them. One more. Let's go
32:57
Speaker 2: to Sammy in Howard Beach. Sammy, how are you doing?
33:00
Speaker 11: I'm doing great, Mark.
33:01
Speaker 2: Good morning.
33:02
Speaker 11: Listen, I used to work at CBS, and it was
33:06
Speaker 11: Dana Tyler who had the.
33:08
Speaker 2: I would say, lap. Dana Tyler. Okay, that makes a
33:12
Speaker 2: lot more sense. Very good-looking, that Dana Tyler. Very nice person, too.
33:17
Speaker 11: Great lady.
33:18
Speaker 2: You think she developed a friendship with Phil Collins?
33:23
Speaker 9: Yeah.
33:24
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, it didn't really work out well for her. You know,
33:28

34:03
Speaker 1: dropped and get rats.
34:04
Speaker 2: That's been interesting.

Speaker 1: But the one thing we didn't touch on, what about
34:07
Speaker 1: the waiters and the waitresses that got to go from

Speaker 1: a warm inside place, they got to walk out onto
34:11
Speaker 1: the sidewalk, into another warm place, back and forth, carrying plates.
34:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pain in the neck. That's the other problem.
