Hour 1: Flydubai flight details. · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show. Well, hey, it's Thursday.
0:11
Speaker 1: It's practically Friday already. We've got a lot to get to.
0:14
Speaker 1: The Yankees win last night. That's very big. They go
0:17
Speaker 1: on to the next round. Very good. We'll go over that.
0:20
Speaker 1: We'll get to President Trump traveling around the country. Three
0:24
Speaker 1: different states. He's campaigning. We'll get to Iraq. No, not Iran.
0:30
Speaker 1: We'll get to Iraq. We'll get to Iran, of course.
0:32
Speaker 1: We'll get to disgusting Cornell University. We'll get to e-bikes.
0:37
Speaker 1: Speaking of disgusting, we'll get to Andrew Cuomo coming up
0:40
Speaker 1: with his new $ 9 million Hamptons mansion. Everybody wondering where
0:45
Speaker 1: the hell did the money come from? And anyway, a
0:49
Speaker 1: lot to get to. Today we'll get to Kathy Hochul
0:52
Speaker 1: versus Bruce Blakeman and more. The hijacking story. of that
0:57
Speaker 1: flight from Dubai. Now, if you're, we just want to
1:00
Speaker 1: explain it because many people might be New York times readers.
1:04
Speaker 1: You might be a MSNBC or CNN viewers, and you
1:08
Speaker 1: didn't get the story. They tried to cover up parts
1:11
Speaker 1: of the story for you. As soon as that hijacking
1:15
Speaker 1: incident took place and the terrorist in the cockpit tried
1:18
Speaker 1: to stab and kill the pilot and then crashed the plane.
1:22
Speaker 1: If you're watching, uh, The liberal networks or the New
1:26
Speaker 1: York Times, they were very careful to cover all that up.
1:29
Speaker 1: The New York Times said it was all about an
1:32
Speaker 1: altercation among employees. There was an altercation cockpit. And MSNBC,
1:41
Speaker 1: whatever they call it, has spent the last day desperately
1:45
Speaker 1: trying to make excuses for why they covered up what
1:47
Speaker 1: it was, saying, well, they can't report anything they can't confirm.
1:52
Speaker 1: I could give you a list of 500 things that
1:54
Speaker 1: were absolutely false. They've reported in the last few months.
1:58
Speaker 1: It's most people can do that. So it was a hijacking.
2:03
Speaker 1: It was a terrorist, an extreme religious extremist. The questionable
2:10
Speaker 1: part here is he was from Oman. He's Omani. And
2:14
Speaker 1: why this airline had this guy as an employee, you know,
2:18
Speaker 1: after nine 11, we hardened the cockpits and all those planes.
2:21
Speaker 1: So if you're in the, passenger area. You can't get
2:23
Speaker 1: into the cockpit. It's locked. As they say, it's hardened.
2:28
Speaker 1: You can't get in there. So the plot was this
2:32
Speaker 1: guy gets a job as a pilot. He's in the cockpit,
2:38
Speaker 1: middle of the flight, takes out a knife, stabs and
2:41
Speaker 1: kills the pilot. This was the plot. And then he'll
2:43
Speaker 1: crash the plane. Now, there's a bunch of questions that
2:46
Speaker 1: come up. Believe it or not, airline crews and personnel
2:49
Speaker 1: and pilots are supposed to go through the same security
2:52
Speaker 1: checks we all do. So how did the guy get
2:55
Speaker 1: the knife on there? I know they're supposed to go
2:57
Speaker 1: through these security checks, but I have a feeling when
3:01
Speaker 1: it comes to the airline crew and pilots, they probably
3:05
Speaker 1: get a little sloppy on those searches and checks. So
3:09
Speaker 1: how did that happen? How did an airline fly Dubai?
3:13
Speaker 1: How did they hire a terrorist? And the guy, people
3:16
Speaker 1: that knew him and worked with him said, It was crazy.
3:20
Speaker 1: He seemed crazy. His behavior was weird. He wouldn't touch
3:23
Speaker 1: a woman or shake hands with a woman. Always praying.
3:26
Speaker 1: Religious extremist, nut job terrorist. Now, the real question is,
3:31
Speaker 1: was this a lone wolf, as they say? Was this
3:33
Speaker 1: a guy acting alone? Or was he part of a cell?
3:37
Speaker 1: And this is what they got to figure out. Because
3:39
Speaker 1: if he's part of a group or a cell, they
3:41
Speaker 1: got to find the rest of them before they try
3:42
Speaker 1: this again. Now, also, when a plane is coming into
3:47
Speaker 1: the United States or Israel, Believe it or not, our government,
3:51
Speaker 1: the Israeli government, they get the passenger manifest ahead of time,
3:55
Speaker 1: the list of passengers, and they go over it. The
3:58
Speaker 1: computer does it. AI does it. They go over it,
4:00
Speaker 1: and they look for anybody on that list who's a
4:02
Speaker 1: suspected terrorist or something. So it's just the passengers. A
4:09
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, now we're going to have
4:10
Speaker 1: to include the crew and the pilots on that list,
4:13
Speaker 1: and they'll have to be checked to see who they are.
4:16
Speaker 1: And generally... if you're Israel, they're very careful. They usually
4:23
Speaker 1: only allow planes in from countries they have diplomatic relations with,
4:27
Speaker 1: and they don't with Oman, so I'm not quite sure
4:29
Speaker 1: why this plane was coming in. Here's one of the
4:32
Speaker 1: passengers on the flight. We're here on the plane from Dubai.
4:35
Speaker 2: We're here on the plane. There was a crazy man
4:38
Speaker 2: with a knife who stabbed one of the pilots. We
4:41
Speaker 2: jumped and helped the pilot. Friends, everything's okay. Friends, everything
4:46
Speaker 2: is okay now. As you can see, we're landing in
4:50
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia. You can see I'm fine.
4:53
Speaker 1: That's it.
4:54
Speaker 2: We'll see in a few minutes what will happen when
4:56
Speaker 2: we land.
4:56
Speaker 1: Boy, that guy is pretty calm. There was an incident.
5:01
Speaker 1: Imagine if that was an American. People would be going nuts.
5:07
Speaker 1: A few things, if you were on that plane, a
5:10
Speaker 1: few things that you were really lucky about, really lucky about. One,
5:14
Speaker 1: obviously the pilot, he was Indian. He was in a
5:17
Speaker 1: Incredible hero to survive and continue after being stabbed. But
5:23
Speaker 1: he was able to send in codes. There's a code
5:27
Speaker 1: you send to the tower. He was able to let
5:29
Speaker 1: them know what was happening. He was able to somehow,
5:31
Speaker 1: with the blood coming out of him, get up and
5:33
Speaker 1: unlock the cabin door. The other incredible piece of luck
5:37
Speaker 1: was there were a couple of pilots, off-duty pilots on
5:42
Speaker 1: the plane. They were able to land the plane. Imagine
5:44
Speaker 1: if they hadn't been there. A couple of off-duty pilots
5:47
Speaker 1: just happened to be on the plane. And also you're
5:51
Speaker 1: lucky as President Trump tweeted out or truth socialed out,
5:55
Speaker 1: thank Boeing too for making incredible airplanes. That plane, you know,
6:00
Speaker 1: it was at 30,000 feet and suddenly when the guy
6:03
Speaker 1: nosedived the plane, in like a second it plunged to
6:06
Speaker 1: 15,000 feet. President pointing out, give Boeing credit for making
6:11
Speaker 1: planes so strong and so great that they could withstand
6:15
Speaker 1: That kind of plunged the G force of it all.
6:17
Speaker 1: So it was pretty amazing. Uh, when, uh, they, these
6:21
Speaker 1: guys got off the plane, uh, the, the, the hero that, uh,
6:25
Speaker 1: this hero who went into the, uh, cockpit and, and
6:29
Speaker 1: stopped the, uh, lunatic choked him, got him in a chokehold, uh,
6:33
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu is there to congratulate, thank everybody.
6:38
Speaker 3: Nearly all the passengers on the flight were Israelis. During
6:42
Speaker 3: the flight, as they were approaching Israel, one of the
6:45
Speaker 3: pilots stabbed the other pilot and apparently tried to crush
6:49
Speaker 3: the plane with everyone on board.
6:51
Speaker 1: Wow. Amazing, amazing story. So you're going to have to
6:55
Speaker 1: see a lot more security on what airlines are allowed
6:58
Speaker 1: into Israel, all that sort of stuff. Fly Dubai, I
7:02
Speaker 1: don't think will be coming in anymore. The idea that
7:04
Speaker 1: they hired a terrorist and put them in the cockpit. Scary.
7:09
Speaker 1: Very scary. Hey, we pulled out of Iraq. No, not Iran. Iraq.
7:15
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, yesterday we withdrew from Iraq. President
7:22
Speaker 1: Trump very happy about that. We were in Iraq 23 years.
7:26
Speaker 1: It was 2003 we went in. President Trump yesterday saying
7:30
Speaker 1: we're getting the hell out. It was the orderly departure
7:34
Speaker 1: of coalition forces and equipment from the last air base.
7:37
Speaker 1: We are now officially, totally, completely out of Iraq. We
7:42
Speaker 1: lost 4,500 soldiers, servicemen and women. 4,500 were killed. Compare
7:50
Speaker 1: that to Iran. We've only been there six months. 18
7:52
Speaker 1: have been killed. We had a war, the president pointing out,
7:57
Speaker 1: we had a war with Venezuela that was only 148
7:59
Speaker 1: minutes long. That's pretty good. 148 minutes, two hours and
8:05
Speaker 1: 20 minutes, the whole war. And as far as Iran,
8:09
Speaker 1: he says, we're going to have that one very quickly. Now,
8:11
Speaker 1: here's what's going on in Iran. First of all, the IRGC,
8:16
Speaker 1: this is the terrible worst part of Iran, the terrorist army,
8:21
Speaker 1: the Israeli, Iranian Republican Guard. They've endorsed the Democrats in
8:27
Speaker 1: the midterms. Believe it or not, they officially put out
8:30
Speaker 1: a statement endorsing the Democrats, urging America to vote for
8:34
Speaker 1: the Democrats. So I don't know if the Democrats will
8:37
Speaker 1: be running any ads saying the Iranian terrorists have endorsed them,
8:42
Speaker 1: but that is the case. But here's the story with Iran.
8:46
Speaker 1: Our intelligence, other countries' intelligence now says Iran has two
8:51
Speaker 1: to three weeks left. That's it. And then they're totally
8:56
Speaker 1: out of money. Then they don't have a dime. They're
8:59
Speaker 1: completely out of cash. Apparently, the meeting between Trump and
9:04
Speaker 1: Xi convinced Xi to have China stop lending them money
9:08
Speaker 1: or giving them anything. But Iran should be totally, completely
9:13
Speaker 1: broke within three weeks. They've only got 15 million barrels
9:18
Speaker 1: of oil left. Now, that sounds like a lot, but
9:20
Speaker 1: it's not. That's maybe a day and a half of
9:23
Speaker 1: oil sales. So they could sell one more day, maybe
9:26
Speaker 1: two of oil, and then that's it. And then they're
9:29
Speaker 1: out of cash. So They've been, we've pretty much bankrupted them,
9:34
Speaker 1: you know, Strait of Hormuz being closed. That's all their revenue.
9:37
Speaker 1: They've had no revenue for six months coming in, nothing.
9:41
Speaker 1: You know, when they came to the UN General Assembly,
9:44
Speaker 1: remember the Iranian president spoke, this is the first time
9:47
Speaker 1: ever they couldn't afford a hotel room in Manhattan. Every
9:52
Speaker 1: year when Iran comes and the leader comes and speaks
9:54
Speaker 1: at the UN, they take a bunch of suites at
9:57
Speaker 1: the Millennium Hotel across the street. Apparently this year they
10:01
Speaker 1: could not afford a hotel, so the Iranian president had
10:04
Speaker 1: to sleep at the embassy this year. So about two
10:08
Speaker 1: weeks from now, you're going to start to see absolute
10:10
Speaker 1: collapse of the government without a penny to spend. As
10:16
Speaker 1: I said, the president going to three states. Today he
10:18
Speaker 1: goes to Texas. uh, campaigning, and then it'll do two
10:22
Speaker 1: more States this week. Cornell university, an absolutely disgusting place.
10:29
Speaker 1: A woman is now detailing the gang rape that took
10:34
Speaker 1: place at Cornell in a certain fraternity. Uh, there was
10:38
Speaker 1: a foursome that wanted to have sex with her fraternity brothers.
10:42
Speaker 1: She said no to this foursome. It looks like she
10:46
Speaker 1: may have been drugged because all of a sudden she
10:48
Speaker 1: was passing out. Anyway, the, uh, The foursome had sex
10:52
Speaker 1: with her and then apparently three more joined in. It
10:55
Speaker 1: became an eightsome, this whole thing. She says she was raped. Cornell,
11:01
Speaker 1: it looks like they covered it up initially. Campus police
11:06
Speaker 1: took a statement from her but did nothing, absolutely nothing. Now,
11:10
Speaker 1: the other thing is it did apparently at some point
11:12
Speaker 1: she went to the district attorney, Tompkins County District Attorney.
11:16
Speaker 1: He did not bring charges at the time. Well, now
11:20
Speaker 1: that it's big news, he's bringing charges. He said he
11:25
Speaker 1: reopened the case with new details. Nobody knows what the
11:28
Speaker 1: new details are, but he should have been on this
11:30
Speaker 1: from the beginning. As we mentioned yesterday, a lot of
11:33
Speaker 1: parents who had their students applying to Cornell have withdrawn
11:37
Speaker 1: those applications, hundreds of applications withdrawn. Cornell, absolutely disgusting place.
11:43
Speaker 1: This awful, awful gang rape takes place in this fraternity.
11:49
Speaker 1: And this is the same Cornell with the vicious anti-Semitism
11:53
Speaker 1: going on. Last week, these kids chanting from the river
11:56
Speaker 1: to the sea. Just a horrible place, Cornell. It's in
11:59
Speaker 1: New York, and Governor Hochul is going after them right now.
12:03
Speaker 4: What happened to this young college student at Cornell University
12:06
Speaker 4: is nothing short of horrifying and shocking. And I believe
12:10
Speaker 4: that she deserves justice and there must be accountability. That
12:14
Speaker 4: is why I called for an outside independent counsel to
12:17
Speaker 4: conduct an investigation of what exactly transpired.
12:20
Speaker 1: There you go. Kathy Hochul is all over this. Until
12:25
Speaker 1: the election. If she wins re-election, then you'll never hear
12:28
Speaker 1: about it again from her. But we hope Bruce Blakeman
12:31
Speaker 1: is going to win. the election, but Hochul pretending, acting, well,
12:36
Speaker 1: maybe she will, but she's acting like she's really going
12:38
Speaker 1: to take this on, this issue.
12:39
Speaker 4: People need to know the truth. And I think it's
12:42
Speaker 4: important for the public, for the victim, her family, and
12:47
Speaker 4: the university community to know that their university did everything
12:51
Speaker 4: that they were supposed to do. And if that was
12:54
Speaker 4: not the case, why? What happened? How do you get
12:57
Speaker 4: it right the next time? But also, what are the consequences?
13:01
Speaker 1: The next time? What next time? So she's also suing
13:04
Speaker 1: the victim. You're calling her Jane Doe. She's suing a
13:09
Speaker 1: fraternity house, the school, everything. Lawsuit says she was drugged, assaulted,
13:14
Speaker 1: and gang raped on the campus. Oh, let's talk about
13:18
Speaker 1: something happier. The Yankees won last night. What was the
13:22
Speaker 1: first game? Something like 9-0. Last night it was like 9-2.
13:26
Speaker 1: They just overwhelmed the Red Sox. You know, the Red
13:29
Speaker 1: Sox are very big on... the computer stuff. You know,
13:32
Speaker 1: in the good old days, you had a crusty old
13:35
Speaker 1: manager sitting there on the bench. You had a Casey Stangle,
13:37
Speaker 1: a Billy Martin, Joe Torrey, you know, watching, studying. They
13:42
Speaker 1: kind of knew when to take the picture out. They
13:44
Speaker 1: knew who to send up. They knew that they could tell.
13:49
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, analytics came in, and
13:52
Speaker 1: now it's all computerized. This is for some teams. Yankees
13:55
Speaker 1: still old school. But apparently the Red Sox, relying on computers...
14:00
Speaker 1: You take all the data about each batter, feed it
14:03
Speaker 1: in the computer, every statistic, everything of the pitcher, and
14:06
Speaker 1: the computer figures out who should pitch, who should be
14:10
Speaker 1: taken out of the game, when to put in another pitch.
14:13
Speaker 1: But the Red Sox and their computer kind of screwed up.
14:16
Speaker 1: The Yankees, just old-fashioned baseball smarts, won the game. I
14:21
Speaker 1: hated the announcers in this game. Who the hell were
14:23
Speaker 1: these announcers? They weren't great. But here's one of the
14:27
Speaker 1: great moments of the game last night.
14:29
Speaker 2: If he were to go large here, this place would
14:32
Speaker 2: absolutely go bonkers beyond belief.
14:34
Speaker 1: So Cody Bellinger can get the dagger out if he
14:37
Speaker 1: can do something big here. Pitch. Swung on. Deep drive.
14:42
Speaker 1: Right field. Got a chance. And there it goes! A
14:47
Speaker 1: three-run homer! Cody Bellinger!
14:49
Speaker 3: 8-1 Yankees!
14:53
Speaker 1: Where the hell did they get these announcers? It's a
14:54
Speaker 1: home run.
14:57
Speaker 5: Terrible. Awful.
15:00
Speaker 1: There's got to be a, we no longer have John Sterling.
15:03
Speaker 1: There's no Phil Rizzuto or Bill White. There's no, where's
15:07
Speaker 1: Bob Costas? He's still around, isn't he? There's no Kurt
15:10
Speaker 1: Gowdy anymore. Who's the great one from Los Angeles? I'm
15:13
Speaker 1: blanking out on his name. Oh, you know who I mean,
15:16
Speaker 1: the great, but it's got to be a modern day
15:19
Speaker 1: equivalent somewhere out there. Michael Kay is still around, right?
15:24
Speaker 1: But these are the NBC announcers. So the Yankees move
15:28
Speaker 1: on to the next round. Hey, we'll get to Andrew Cuomo.
15:31
Speaker 1: Nobody can figure this out. This Andrew Cuomo, who apparently
15:37
Speaker 1: hates being in New York City, can't stand being in
15:41
Speaker 1: New York City when he was governor and before that
15:43
Speaker 1: when he was attorney general. Remember, he always lived in Westchester.
15:45
Speaker 1: Always lived in Westchester. He did have to, when he
15:49
Speaker 1: was running for mayor... pretend he lived in New York.
15:53
Speaker 1: I don't think he got an apartment. I think he
15:55
Speaker 1: used his daughter's apartment. You have to pretend you're living
15:57
Speaker 1: in New York City to run for mayor. So he
16:00
Speaker 1: had to move into an apartment for a while. As
16:01
Speaker 1: soon as the voters rejected him, he got the hell
16:05
Speaker 1: out of here. Now he just bought a $ 9 million
16:08
Speaker 1: compound in the Hamptons. Now he is a big car guy.
16:12
Speaker 1: He loves cars. Loves driving, loves cars. So if that's
16:17
Speaker 1: the case, if you're a car guy, you can't really
16:19
Speaker 1: live in New York. You got to Live somewhere where
16:22
Speaker 1: you can drive your cars around. We've got a big
16:23
Speaker 1: garage for all of them. So anyway, we'll get to this.
16:26
Speaker 1: His $ 9 million compound. He wanted to be near the brother.
16:32
Speaker 1: And as Curtis, I heard Curtis say, it's a bunch
16:35
Speaker 1: of houses. It looks like the Corleone compound. We'll get
16:38
Speaker 1: to that coming up and a lot more. It's Mark
16:41
Speaker 1: Simone here. Nine to noon every day. Nine to noon
16:45
Speaker 1: every day here on 710WOR. It's the Mark Simone Show.
16:50
Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, well, we got
16:58
Speaker 1: a lot to get through this morning. Hey, what's the
17:00
Speaker 1: worst airport you could go through? What caused the most stress?
17:03
Speaker 1: There's a new study out. Which is the worst airport?
17:05
Speaker 1: Biggest delays, biggest headaches, roughest airport to go through? No?
17:11
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, it's Dallas-Fort Worth. Most stressful airport
17:15
Speaker 1: in the study. Dallas-Fort Worth. followed by O'Hare Airport in Chicago,
17:21
Speaker 1: followed by Reagan Airport, which used to be a great airport,
17:24
Speaker 1: then Kennedy Airport. So, you know, Kennedy Airport is not
17:27
Speaker 1: the most stressful. Dallas-Fort Worth has a 28% delay rate, 34%
17:36
Speaker 1: increase in delays, while also sitting 22 miles from downtown.
17:42
Speaker 1: That's a long way. An unholy trinity that gives it
17:45
Speaker 1: its highest stress ranking. Hey, Mayor Mamdani finally got his
17:50
Speaker 1: federal security clearance. You know, when you're the mayor of
17:53
Speaker 1: New York, you need a federal government security clearance, top-secret
17:58
Speaker 1: security clearance, before they can share top-secret information with you.
18:05
Speaker 1: And that can be important. Let's say there was, God forbid,
18:07
Speaker 1: going to be a terrorist threat to New York. That's
18:10
Speaker 1: highly classified. Well, the You have to have a security
18:13
Speaker 1: clearance to be shown that. It took the mayor a
18:16
Speaker 1: while to get it. I'm amazed he was even able
18:19
Speaker 1: to get it. Now, they did point out that the
18:24
Speaker 1: police commissioner, others in the administration already have that clearance.
18:27
Speaker 1: So they would have been able to see it. Now,
18:30
Speaker 1: what's the dumbest thing you can have as an option
18:32
Speaker 1: in your car? You know, the heated seat. It sounds
18:38
Speaker 1: like who needs a heated seat? Well, that can help.
18:40
Speaker 1: You know, you get a long ride. You put on
18:42
Speaker 1: that heated seat. It's good for your back. You know,
18:46
Speaker 1: there's all these dumb options. Now, the new Lincoln SUV.
18:50
Speaker 1: Is it the Lincoln Navigator? I think it is. The
18:53
Speaker 1: Lincoln SUV has just debuted in the car. This is
18:58
Speaker 1: an option you can get. A spa, a mini spa
19:01
Speaker 1: in your car. I know, I know. It sounds ridiculous.
19:06
Speaker 1: But right in the car, it'll give you a back rub.
19:09
Speaker 1: It plays nature noises. It'll reveal a calming scent. You
19:15
Speaker 1: press a button. It's called the Wellness Hub on Wheels.
19:19
Speaker 1: It will activate a multi-sensory in-vehicle experience designed to help
19:25
Speaker 1: you reset your day. For each experience, you choose from
19:30
Speaker 1: six different experiences. This is kind of like a hooker.
19:35
Speaker 1: You've got like six things you can choose. They can
19:37
Speaker 1: run for five to ten minutes each. The sound or
19:41
Speaker 1: meditation plays. A subtle scent is pumped into the cabin.
19:46
Speaker 1: You really want this going on in your car? No. Now,
19:49
Speaker 1: here's the good thing. The Rejuvenate Spa only works when
19:53
Speaker 1: the car is in park and all the doors are closed.
19:59
Speaker 1: First of all, you picture the Lincoln Navigator. Now, this
20:02
Speaker 1: mini spa. Who goes to a spa? It's mostly women.
20:05
Speaker 1: Mostly women who want this meditation music and the scent.
20:10
Speaker 1: And the spa, it's not usually a guy. And who
20:13
Speaker 1: drives a Lincoln Navigator? It's always like a Tony Soprano
20:15
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Anytime you see a Lincoln Navigator, you're
20:20
Speaker 1: going to see some big hulking guy. And they generally
20:22
Speaker 1: don't want this spa, so it may be the wrong
20:25
Speaker 1: car for this. Hey, that crazy Jack Smith, that bug-eyed weirdo,
20:29
Speaker 1: that dirty cop, creepy Jack Smith. People are talking about
20:34
Speaker 1: him possibly nominating him for an Academy Award. The way
20:39
Speaker 1: he sat there at that hearing with a straight face
20:42
Speaker 1: and said nothing he did was political. He has no
20:46
Speaker 1: political leanings that he was not out to get Trump.
20:51
Speaker 1: But then he goes on to say, Smith saying now
20:55
Speaker 1: that President Trump was engaged in serious crimes against our nation.
21:01
Speaker 1: What the hell is this guy talking about? What on
21:06
Speaker 1: earth is he talking about? And he said, you know,
21:09
Speaker 1: if you don't think it was justified, two grand juries
21:13
Speaker 1: reached the conclusion. Well, as everybody knows, the old saying,
21:16
Speaker 1: you can indict a ham sandwich. Also, if you do
21:19
Speaker 1: it in D.C., if you do it someplace that's all
21:24
Speaker 1: left-wing kooks, of course you can get a grand jury
21:27
Speaker 1: to go along with you. So rather than, he said,
21:30
Speaker 1: the real crime is rather than accept his defeat in 2020,
21:35
Speaker 1: President Trump engaged in a, criminal scheme to overturn the
21:39
Speaker 1: results and prevent the lawful transfer of power. What the
21:43
Speaker 1: hell is he talking about? No one knows. Is he
21:48
Speaker 1: talking about January 6th? That can't be that. That was
21:50
Speaker 1: just a horrible, bad trespassing incident. That wouldn't have disrupted anything.
21:58
Speaker 1: No one knows what he's talking about. Now, the good
22:00
Speaker 1: news is Jack Smith is getting sued. He, uh, did
22:03
Speaker 1: something horrible. You're not supposed to do besides all of this, uh,
22:07
Speaker 1: warfare on, lawfare on Trump. He did unbelievably immoral, unethical
22:13
Speaker 1: surveillance on everybody in Congress. He was getting their phone records,
22:17
Speaker 1: everything out of it, all their information, their emails, their texts.
22:21
Speaker 1: Members of Congress. So the first one has filed a
22:24
Speaker 1: lawsuit against Jack Smith. Marsha Blackburn is suing him. Hopefully
22:28
Speaker 1: they'll all start suing him and keep this guy in
22:30
Speaker 1: court for the rest of his life. Marsha Blackburn, the senator,
22:34
Speaker 1: longtime senator, also saying, She thinks criminal charges are necessary
22:38
Speaker 1: against Jack Smith. And that's something that should happen. Don't
22:44
Speaker 1: be surprised if there are criminal referrals coming from all
22:47
Speaker 1: of this. State Department yesterday revoked 250,000 visas, broad immigration crackdown. Now,
22:56
Speaker 1: they say they've been very careful to stick to criminals,
23:02
Speaker 1: those that committed birth tourism fraud, national security threats. Removing
23:06
Speaker 1: anybody who committed crimes, supported terrorism, defrauded anybody or abused
23:11
Speaker 1: any of our systems. So that's 250,000 removed yesterday. We'll
23:17
Speaker 1: get to Mamdani and his anti-Semitism plan. Oh, also, don't
23:21
Speaker 1: go away. We'll get to the Democrats. I don't know
23:24
Speaker 1: how they get it. Well, I know how they get
23:26
Speaker 1: away with this. The fake news won't report it. If
23:28
Speaker 1: you're watching CNN or MSNOW or reading the New York Times,
23:31
Speaker 1: they won't tell you this. But there was a bill
23:35
Speaker 1: to do something about the AI centers. Democrats blocked it.
23:39
Speaker 1: There was a bill to limit insider trading. Democrats all
23:45
Speaker 1: voted against it. They don't want to get rid of that.
23:47
Speaker 1: So we'll get to this coming up. Hey, also, we'll
23:50
Speaker 1: take some– I think we'll take some calls. Yeah. Now,
23:54
Speaker 1: supposedly we got the phones fixed. It's been two days.
23:58
Speaker 1: This looks like a whole new system here. Supposedly the
24:01
Speaker 1: phones will work. We'll try that coming up. It's Mark
24:03
Speaker 1: Simone here, 9 to noon every day. Three hours now,
24:07
Speaker 1: 9 to noon every day on 710WOR. Mark Simone, Mr.
24:13
Speaker 1: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 to
24:17
Speaker 1: noon on 710WOR. Hey, we'll take some calls. We think
24:25
Speaker 1: we got the phones fixed. We think they'll actually work
24:28
Speaker 1: this time. So call us, 800-321-7101. 0-7-10 is the number. 800-321-0710.
24:35
Speaker 1: Remember yesterday we were talking about all the AI guys
24:42
Speaker 1: that President Trump gathered for that meeting yesterday at the
24:45
Speaker 1: White House. They had all the top AI heads there.
24:50
Speaker 1: And then a lot of the other tech guys, there
24:52
Speaker 1: was Elon Musk and there was Jeff Bezos. And they
24:55
Speaker 1: all looked like about 20 of them sitting around a table.
24:58
Speaker 1: And I said, altogether, these guys could be worth a
25:01
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. Well, We got the actual number. It's 1.8 trillion.
25:06
Speaker 1: The people around that table, combined wealth is close to
25:11
Speaker 1: $ 2 trillion. Those guys, the smartest guys in the world,
25:18
Speaker 1: the most successful guys money-wise on earth, technology-wise, these are
25:23
Speaker 1: the most successful guys, absolutely the most brilliant guys ever
25:28
Speaker 1: in one room. And what did they come up with
25:31
Speaker 1: as an answer, what to do about AI? They came
25:34
Speaker 1: up with, let's form a committee. Form a committee to
25:39
Speaker 1: look at it. If you took a bunch of PTA
25:42
Speaker 1: members or a bunch of housewives and said, to come
25:45
Speaker 1: up with that, well, we'll form a committee. Who couldn't
25:47
Speaker 1: have thought of that? Not just a committee. They're going
25:50
Speaker 1: to have a commission as well. And not just a committee,
25:54
Speaker 1: but they're going to have a panel, too, to look
25:56
Speaker 1: at it. All right, let's see if the phones work.
25:58
Speaker 1: Let's try this out. Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara,
26:02
Speaker 1: how you doing?
26:03
Speaker 5: Good morning, Charlie.
26:04
Speaker 1: There you go.
26:05
Speaker 6: It works. It's 630, 61 degrees and partly sunny out here.
26:11
Speaker 1: How much is it? 61?
26:14
Speaker 6: 61.
26:14
Speaker 1: Oh, in Nevada, isn't it usually warmer?
26:16
Speaker 6: I'm going to tell you something, Mark. From November to March,
26:20
Speaker 6: you're going to have to start wearing a light jacket
26:23
Speaker 6: and bundle up. No bundle up, but a light jacket
26:26
Speaker 6: when you go outside.
26:27
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. You poor people.
26:28
Speaker 6: Oh, your God.
26:29
Speaker 5: Yes, it's true. Oh, my God.
26:30
Speaker 1: You have to go through that.
26:31
Speaker 6: Now, Mark, I want to ask you something. Why is
26:34
Speaker 6: it a good idea to give top security clearance to
26:38
Speaker 6: a man who holds dual citizenship?
26:42
Speaker 1: You're talking about Mamdani? Well, you have to give the mayor.
26:44
Speaker 1: The mayor of New York has to have a security clearance.
26:46
Speaker 6: Okay, and how about Ilhan Omar? Do congresspeople get top
26:51
Speaker 6: security clearance?
26:52
Speaker 1: I'm afraid so. Well, they've got to often look at.
26:54
Speaker 6: Oh, Somalia. Hello.
26:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, but that happens. If you're the mayor
26:58
Speaker 1: of New York, if, God forbid, there's a terrorist threat,
27:02
Speaker 1: they would have to share it with the mayor of
27:03
Speaker 1: New York. If it was a threat against New York,
27:05
Speaker 1: of course they would have to tell him. And that
27:08
Speaker 1: sort of report, would be a highly classified document. So
27:12
Speaker 1: the mayor has to have a high security clearance with
27:15
Speaker 1: the federal government so they could share that information with
27:18
Speaker 1: them if they had to. I hate to say it,
27:22
Speaker 1: but let's say there was, God forbid, a terrorist threat
27:25
Speaker 1: against New York and they shared it with Mamdani. What
27:27
Speaker 1: do you think he'd do about it? Anything? What do
27:30
Speaker 1: you think he'd do about it? I don't know. Who knows?
27:34
Speaker 1: Let's go to Billy in Rockland County. Billy, how you doing?
27:39
Speaker 1: Doing good. How are you? Let me check. Not bad.
27:42
Speaker 5: Let me check. All right.
27:46
Speaker 1: All right.
27:46
Speaker 3: Check twice.
27:47
Speaker 1: Well, where do you think Cuomo gets like $ 100, 000 a
27:49
Speaker 1: year to maintain that house? Well, you bring up a
27:53
Speaker 1: good question, Billy. Thanks. Yeah. We're going to talk about
27:58
Speaker 1: this a little later, too. Andrew Cuomo just bought a
28:02
Speaker 1: $ 9 million house in the Hamptons, South Hampton. Let me
28:07
Speaker 1: see here. It's got a tennis court, pool, gym, wine cellar.
28:11
Speaker 1: It's actually got a bunch of houses. It's a compound
28:14
Speaker 1: $ 9 million house. Now, how much money do you have
28:22
Speaker 1: to have to buy a $ 9 million house? Well, obviously,
28:24
Speaker 1: you got to have $ 9 million. But I mean, if
28:27
Speaker 1: that's all you had in the world, $ 9 million, you're
28:28
Speaker 1: not going to spend it all on a house. So
28:30
Speaker 1: in order to have $ 9 million just for a house,
28:33
Speaker 1: how much money do you have to have? 20 million,
28:36
Speaker 1: 30 million. Now, he made 5 million on that shady
28:40
Speaker 1: book deal while he was in office where he profiteered
28:43
Speaker 1: off the pandemic. And then before he was mayor, remember
28:48
Speaker 1: he was attorney general, there was a couple of, a
28:51
Speaker 1: year or two in between where he did work for
28:53
Speaker 1: a law firm. He could have made some money there.
28:55
Speaker 1: But since that ridiculous attempt to be mayor, which was
29:00
Speaker 1: absolutely insane, the guy just got run out of office
29:03
Speaker 1: as governor. Literally run out of office, fled Albany being
29:07
Speaker 1: chased by the police. And then two seconds later, he
29:09
Speaker 1: tries to run for mayor. It was an idiotic thing.
29:12
Speaker 1: But since how long has that been since? It's not
29:16
Speaker 1: that long, that mayoral race, right? That was 25, wasn't it?
29:20
Speaker 1: So it's a year ago. How much money could he
29:23
Speaker 1: made in one year? Well, you never know. He's been
29:25
Speaker 1: involved with these crypto guys, these crypto companies. Who knows?
29:29
Speaker 1: He could have made 20, 30 in one year.
29:31
Speaker 5: I don't know.
29:33
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine. He says he's buying the house
29:37
Speaker 1: as an investment. If you're in the crypto business, you're
29:41
Speaker 1: supposed to invest in crypto. It's right near his brother.
29:44
Speaker 1: He said he wants to be near his brother. Let
29:47
Speaker 1: me just see. Cuomo was named co-chair of a joint
29:52
Speaker 1: venture between the owner of the New York Stock Exchange
29:55
Speaker 1: and the crypto exchange. Okay, that's Involves a lot of
29:59
Speaker 1: money there. He's also been in Singapore to speak at
30:04
Speaker 1: a crypto conference. You never know. He could have made
30:07
Speaker 1: all this money crypto-wise. But he just spent $ 9 million
30:12
Speaker 1: on a house. It was bought through an LLC. Okay,
30:15
Speaker 1: that's not unusual. Oh, but listen to this. It was
30:19
Speaker 1: a cash deal, no mortgage. So he just had $ 9
30:21
Speaker 1: million in cash. Wrote a check for it just like that.
30:25
Speaker 1: So to do that, you got to have a lot
30:27
Speaker 1: more than $ 9 million. So obviously, he made a hell
30:30
Speaker 1: of a lot of money somewhere doing something. Hey, where's
30:33
Speaker 1: all the calls? We finally get the phones fixed. Nobody's calling.
30:36
Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. Hey, Paramount, Warner Brothers, that
30:40
Speaker 1: whole deal. Paramount's going to take over Warner Brothers, Time Warner,
30:45
Speaker 1: Warner Discovery, whatever they call it now. They came up
30:55
Speaker 1: with a new CEO for the whole thing. And the
30:58
Speaker 1: guy was the CEO of Mattel. They're taking the CEO
31:03
Speaker 1: of Mattel. Now that sometimes doesn't work out. You want
31:06
Speaker 1: a guy who runs entertainment companies. Although the CEO of
31:11
Speaker 1: Mattel a while back was the president of Maker Studios.
31:16
Speaker 1: It's a small studio though. You need somebody with big
31:20
Speaker 1: media experience. So this might not be the best choice.
31:24
Speaker 1: They say a strong experience. His big experience is global operations. Also,
31:31
Speaker 1: he was good with Mattel getting him through the pandemic,
31:35
Speaker 1: dealing with the tariffs, all of that. And they also
31:39
Speaker 1: say he was very good at marketing stuff. Remember how
31:43
Speaker 1: Barbie took off all of a sudden? Hot wheels. But
31:46
Speaker 1: he's going to be the new chairman of this whole deal.
31:49
Speaker 1: He'll be the chairman of Paramount, Warner Brothers, and Let
31:55
Speaker 1: me see. Oh, yeah. Actually, years ago, he was CEO
31:58
Speaker 1: of Edimal, a European production company. But again, this is tiny,
32:03
Speaker 1: tiny media experience. You know, whenever you get a non-media
32:06
Speaker 1: guy trying to run TV and networks and movies, it
32:10
Speaker 1: never quite works out. Best example was CBS. I remember
32:15
Speaker 1: years ago, Lawrence Tisch, Larry Tisch. Brilliant, brilliant businessman. Brilliant.
32:22
Speaker 1: He and his brother, Bob Tisch, these two could run anything.
32:24
Speaker 1: They were unbelievable. They were so brilliant at running a business.
32:28
Speaker 1: So Larry Tisch bought CBS. It was disaster because it
32:32
Speaker 1: wasn't a normal business. It's not a factory. It's not
32:35
Speaker 1: a widget company. It's creative. It's entertainment. And he could
32:39
Speaker 1: be the most brilliant business guy, but he didn't understand that.
32:43
Speaker 1: Didn't understand anything about the entertainment world. So it was
32:47
Speaker 1: a disaster. He finally had to get out of CBS business.
32:49
Speaker 1: Jack Welch, who was the chairman of GE, there's one
32:51
Speaker 1: great thing about him. Whenever they'd come to him with
32:54
Speaker 1: a big entertainment decision, he'd say, I'm just a business guy.
32:57
Speaker 1: Don't know anything about that. I can't help you. Anyway,
33:00
Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Let's go to Bobby in Brooklyn. Bobby,
33:03
Speaker 1: how you doing?
33:04
Speaker 5: Hi, how are you, Mark?
33:05
Speaker 1: Good.
33:06
Speaker 5: I'm a listener, and I'm very glad that you have
33:08
Speaker 5: that extra hour.
33:09
Speaker 1: Yes.
33:10
Speaker 5: The reason for my call... I noticed that you actively
33:14
Speaker 5: promote the other program hosts on WOR. Yeah. I was
33:17
Speaker 5: just wondering why you never make a mention of the
33:20
Speaker 5: overnight AM coast-to-coast syndicated broadcast.
33:24
Speaker 1: I've got to be honest. I've never heard it. What
33:26
Speaker 1: is on late at night here?
33:27
Speaker 5: Oh, George Nouri between 1 a.m.
33:29
Speaker 2: And 5 a.m.
33:30
Speaker 1: The Flying Saucer Show. Yeah. And you listen to that?
33:33
Speaker 5: Yeah. Occasionally, it puts me to sleep.
33:36
Speaker 1: How the hell does that put you to sleep? Hearing
33:38
Speaker 1: about UFOs and flying saucers, that would scare the hell
33:41
Speaker 1: out of me. I'd be up all night.
33:42
Speaker 5: Well, I wake up usually 4.30 in the morning, so
33:45
Speaker 5: I've got to sleep sometime.
33:46
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. All right. Well, we'll mention it. What was
33:48
Speaker 1: it called? What's it called?
33:50
Speaker 5: AM Coast to Coast with George Noory. Oh, okay. It's
33:53
Speaker 5: a syndicated program. It's not produced by WOR.
33:58
Speaker 1: Well, actually, do we produce that? I'm not sure. But,
34:02
Speaker 1: you know, like there's Hannity and Buck and Clay syndicated,
34:04
Speaker 1: but we produce it. It's really us. I mean, it's
34:08
Speaker 1: kind of a local show in a way. I mean,
34:09
Speaker 1: like Hannity's right upstairs. Buck and Clay are right up there.
34:13
Speaker 1: It's all, we produce it. iHeart, we all produce it.
34:16
Speaker 1: They come down here, we go up there. We're all
34:18
Speaker 1: one big operation. Hey, we got a lot to get
34:21
Speaker 1: to coming up. Don't forget, Buck and Clay will be
34:23
Speaker 1: here at noon today. Sean Hannity at three. The most
34:28
Speaker 1: listened to radio show in America. Jimmy Fela. What a
34:31
Speaker 1: funny show. Actually, he'll be with us in the next hour.
34:33
Speaker 1: Coming up on 710WOR. Mark Simons on WOR. It's just
34:39
Speaker 1: about 10 o'clock. Remember, I used to get here now.
34:42
Speaker 1: Those were the days. Back after the news on 710WOR.
