  Speaker 1: More Mark.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
• 0:02
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: noon on 710WOR. Well, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the number. Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Hello, Mark.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I know I have a cold, so I have a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: really nice voice.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You always have a nice voice. Weren't you a radio
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: star at one point?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I was, but I've always found so much better when
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I have a little huskiness in there like Kathleen Turner.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But anyway, wow, thanks for those statistics on the school rapes.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I know this opinion won't matter much to a bachelor
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: with no kids, but us moms out there are just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: done with this. What is the point of sending our
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: kids off to college and spending $ 60, 000, $ 70, 000 a year
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it too much to ask for them
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to keep them safe? I really question this. I sent
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: both mine off. They both got high degrees, doctorates. And
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't even know why, because they, they
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: allow them to have sex. They allow them to drink.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They allow them to do drugs. The fraternities need to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: go away. They just need to go away. The old
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: days of, you know, the letter sweater, the fraternities that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: were just all a bunch of fun guys are just gone.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They're just gangs. And I, I just think that would
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: be one of the first things that they should do.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It's just like organized crime on campuses. And I just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: think we have to have a whole new reshuffle.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. That's the problem with these colleges. They've
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: only got these indoctrinating professors teaching everybody to come out
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: as socialists.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's another problem.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Cut back on the professors and start hiring security, start hiring...
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Didn't they have people.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no co-ed. No co-ed.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: No real.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: They always have sober houses. They're never sober. The RAs
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: are just useless. And I just... I feel so bad
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: for us that we wasted all.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I guess we don't waste some of it, but it's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just that we endanger our children. I really believe that,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: especially ones that have never been away.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You're right. That's a good point. Those universities are getting
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: away with murder. Somebody needs to step in and fix
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: all of them. All right. Good call, Kathy. Thanks for calling.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Suzanne in New Canaan, Connecticut. Suzanne, how
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I have just a quick one about, I wonder if
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: this whole college rape culture status due to the students
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: being a fallout of the COVID lockdowns, they're socially inept.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: But also the cultural influence of, you know, Cardi B
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: glorifying trains and Alex Earle's podcast on threesomes and foursomes
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and all this stuff like nobody, you know, needs to
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: know about.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was going on long before the pandemic.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's just generation after generation getting weirder, crazier, standards slip, discipline,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: everything goes away.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I have a little irony for you.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I'm a Cornellian. I just got an email from the
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Cornell Fund has an article about Cornell offering a degree
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: to incarcerated students.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: What did you call yourself? You're a Cornellian? Is that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: what you people call yourself?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I'm a Cornellian.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I went to Cornell. Cornell.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Well, it's one strange school. Who went to Cornell? Bill
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Maher went there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Ann Coulter.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Ann Coulter from New Canaan went there. Crazy Keith Oberman
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: went there, although he went to the agricultural school, not
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the real Cornell.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Janet Reno.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Let's see, who else?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Very impressive.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Nabokov.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: E.B.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: White. Very good.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: We could go on and on.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: All right. Impressive, impressive. Thanks for calling. Let's go to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Phil in Northport.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Hello, Mark.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Very little mention was made of a recent passing of
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Denny Hastert.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I just saw that about 930. It broke
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that he has died, the former Speaker of the House.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And I forgot to mention it. He was a nice guy,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: but you know what? It's not that important.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Did we lose him? Phil, you there? Phil? Nope. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: think we lost him. Phil?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: He's gone. Yeah. In fact, if we walk out in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the hall here, if you go out in the street
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: there and stop a thousand people with a picture of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Denny Astor, it's like, can you tell me who this is? No,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: but it's a nice guy, but too far in the past.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. My girlfriend graduated from
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Cornell 40 years ago, and as far as all this
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: wilding going on in the frat houses 50 years ago,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: when it started in the late 60s and 70s, I
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: beg to differ with Kathy from North Carolina. There have
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: been always a lot of sluts. Let's just put it
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that way, and I won't go into particulars because I
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: knew women back then....
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: But wait a minute, you're talking about way back. You're
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: talking about your cocktail waitress Copacabana floozies. You were talking
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: about modern times.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Well, modern times. Where are these young men and women
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: getting their ethics and their morality from? Maybe their parents
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: are corrupt. Maybe their parents were part of that 60s, 70s,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: or grandparents, 70s generation. Mark, speaking about people going through
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: your luggage in the airport... I can't tell you. Every
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: time I go to Italy, the police are always looking
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: through my luggage for stuff. And the only reason why
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I know is because I use certain knots to tie
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: my luggage that unless you're a fisherman like Rich would
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: know from South Carolina, you're not going to know how
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to retire. Now, you talked about today the city council
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: is having all the big AI people, they're going to
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: have this meeting. But yet I heard Daria Auburn say
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the city council already has a bunch of proposed legislation,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: proposed bills on the desk of Julie Manning saying, number one,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: as I said last week, you have to use city-approved
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: AI software to sweeten the deal for the rats. Any
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: company who's not using this city-approved software will be fined,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and the city's going to share the money with the rats.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Once again, you put your finger right on it. This
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: is what the AI hearings are about in the city council.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: You know what happens to rats, don't you, Mark?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: They're going to make the AI companies pay all the politicians. Yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and you know what happens to rats.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: What?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: As Curtis says, snitches get.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll talk to the greatest gossip
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: columnist of all, Rob Shooter, with us next on 710WOR.
