  Speaker 2: Three!
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The Marc Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So the Democrats, the fake news, this plot to stop AI,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you've got to regulate it to death, you've got to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: rein it in, you've got to.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Normally, whenever there's one of these things, climate change and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the Democrats and the fake news and everybody colludes, Hollywood
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: jumps right in on this. But they got a little problem.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Hollywood has been pushing for more AI. Hollywood loves AI
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: because it can save them a fortune.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: A fortune.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You know, they can do things with AI instead of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: actually doing them for real. Like if you had to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have a battle scene where you need 5,000 soldiers on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a battlefield, you You used to have to hire 5,000 extras.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You had to make 5,000 costumes for them. It's cost
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a fortune. But now you can put two or three
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and then AI the rest of them in, and it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: looks very real and save a fortune. Or if you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: want to have a plane crash, you could do it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: with AI. You don't have to buy an actual airplane
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and then crash it. So AI has a dilemma here.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They always like to join in on these plots. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they are really hoping for a lot of AI. It'll
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: help them a lot. Tucker Carlson. What the hell happened
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to him? Was he always nuts? I don't know. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: used to do his show a lot. He seemed pretty
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: normal back then. But actually, when he took over for O'Reilly,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you know, Tucker Carlson's from Georgetown. He's a preppy sort
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of a high society sort of type. When he took
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: over for O'Reilly, he went kind of hillbilly-ish. He was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: very redneck. And then when he got fired and he's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: on his own trying to get attention, he became just nuts,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just anti-Semitic, crazy, insane. There is a business in that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You can become like the new Alex Jones, like the wacko.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You can make a fortune doing it, but you're a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: total outcast and you seem like a complete nut job.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: He's now, what was he claiming? Claims Israel needs to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: repent the same way the Nazis did. So again, you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: got to write this guy off completely. Just He's Alex Jones.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He's just a complete, total nut job. Forget about him.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He's gone forever and never, ever, ever, ever come back. Anyway,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's go
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Regarding yesterday's story about the mayor putting toilets around the city.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: So apparently he's against data centers, but he's all for...
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Doo-doo centers.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. How long did you work on
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that line?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask you for your best input
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: on that one.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, please. You're in Florida. Where are you going so early?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I went to BJ's to pick up a watermelon. Pretty exciting.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I just want to say, I'm going to retire and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: move to Florida. This becomes your life. You go to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Starbucks at 6 a.m. You find some errand to keep
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you busy until lunch, right? Then you go to lunch.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: And then you're dodging, you're dodging thunderstorms because it's that
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: time of year where it rains every 20 minutes and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I'm constantly wet and not for any of the good reasons.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And the reason they all go to dinner at four o'clock,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they got nothing else to do down there.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: They have nothing to do. They're in bed. They go
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to the HOA meeting and complain at six 30 and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: then they go to bed at seven.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And what part of Florida are you in?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I'm in the port St. Lucy area, which is, uh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: 40 minutes north of the Palm Beach area.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Yeah.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: It's actually quite the burgeoning city, or whatever you want
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to call it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what happens is Palm Beach is like a very genteel, wonderful,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: then all the New Yorkers come down, how are you?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And they take over, so everybody has to move to Jupiter.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: The next thing you know, these people all take over Jupiter,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: then everybody has to move to Hope Sound. These New
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yorkers chase them all the way up the coast.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: They move all the way up the coast, exactly. They
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: keep creeping. It's a slow, steady creep up the coast. But,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: you know, looking for heaven on earth, which I can
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: attest it isn't. But they think it is.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for calling, Mike. Take care. Yeah, before you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: think of leaving New York, you know, all these people
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in Florida, most of them, they leave New York, they
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: move to Florida. You know, they still listen to the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: New York radio. They listen to us. They listen to WINS.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: They get the New York Post every day. They used
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to actually get the physical copy. Now they all read
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the New York Post every day. They just miss New York.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I know. Don't think about leaving. That's why the smart
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: thing is if you really want to leave the city,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you go to Long Island or Connecticut. You go to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the suburbs. That way you're still right here. You can
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: come in and out. You know, the hottest real estate
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: right now is Long Island. The biggest demand anywhere in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: America right now is Long Island. It's a seller's market
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: like never, never before, according to the latest study. Let's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: go to Rob in Smithtown, Long Island. Rob, how you doing?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just seeing some pictures of the new Belmont racetrack.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure a lot of New Yorkers aren't familiar
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: with it, but it's an unfortunate situation because it was
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: 121 years old. They built the USD Arena, UBS Arena,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, To mimic the old Belmont racetrack.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Then they built the village, Belmont Village.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: To mimic these buildings. Then they tear down the racetrack
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and build a completely new modern racetrack.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with that?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: What is she thinking?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with that?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with it? It doesn't even follow logic.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You got a new racetrack, and hey, that Belmont Village
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is very nice. You got a million shops, restaurants. It's great.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: What are you complaining about?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's beautiful. But the nostalgic building that was there
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: for 121 years, why did they make USB or UBS
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Arena mimic the old Belmont racetrack if they were just
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: going to destroy the racetrack and build something completely different?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Well, because sometimes you got to rebuild stuff, infrastructure, whatever,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to make it, sometimes you don't realize, like the Kennedy Center.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Who knew it was all crumbling inside and had tremendous
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: water damage?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I don't listen. I don't disagree with the quote. Listen,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it's 120, and it's huge. I mean, I used to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: go quite often. Actually, I lived over there. It was
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a huge, really unusable other than the Belmont Stakes. But
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: if you're going to build something new, why wouldn't you
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: have them all uniformed the way you want to do it?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Stop complaining.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: What the hell are you complaining about? Where do you live?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You're in Smithtown.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I live in Smithtown.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, you've got all these great new restaurants. You've got Insignia.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You've got the Chazz. You've got the greatest, phenomenal new place. What,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: do you sit there and complain? We want the old
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: places back.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: No, look at Insignia. It's a beautiful, nostalgic, old-looking building.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They've fitted it to the decor of the area.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It's a Belmont racetrack. Again, back to the modern art situation.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It doesn't fit in the decor of the area.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I think you've got to stop and save yourself. If
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this is my big concern, if this is what I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: irate about on a summer Friday, you better reexamine your life,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Mark. You're right.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It's the final weekend of summer. You should be enjoying it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You're right. I'm going to go play golf later, so
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm going to enjoy.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: All right. Don't cheat too much. All right.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Mark.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Take care. You know, I was watching the TV this morning.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: They said the new Belmont racetrack and the reporter was there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And this is the show in the new racetrack, the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Belmont village. It looked beautiful. Who the hell could complain
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: about it? New Yorkers, New York, Long Island, complain about
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: anything and everything. Well, we got a lot coming up today. Hey,
• 8:13
