Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show.
0:03
Speaker 2: On 710WOR.
0:06
Speaker 1: Well, hey, it's Wednesday. It's going to be a nice
0:08
Speaker 1: day today. We've got a lot to get to this hour.
0:10
Speaker 1: The Carnegie Deli. Well, we'll get to that. It reopened.
0:14
Speaker 1: We'll get to President Trump. We'll get to Ed Sheeran.
0:20
Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran. Oh, this guy. More trouble on this tour.
0:24
Speaker 1: So Ed Sheeran has Macklemore as the opening act. Macklemore,
0:28
Speaker 1: the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel president. you know, you're just there to sing.
0:34
Speaker 1: It's like if you're Bruce. Didn't Laura Ingram write a
0:36
Speaker 1: book called Shut Up and Sing? You're there to entertain people.
0:40
Speaker 1: This is not about Palestine. This is not about Israel.
0:43
Speaker 1: You're just there to entertain people. Not to mention you're
0:47
Speaker 1: a rock and roll guy. You got an IQ of
0:49
Speaker 1: about 87. We don't need your opinion on all of
0:52
Speaker 1: this stuff. So Macklemore was forced off the tour because
0:57
Speaker 1: he was opening for Ed Sheeran Macklemore with his anti-Israel,
1:01
Speaker 1: anti-Semitic crap. Some venues didn't want to allow him there,
1:06
Speaker 1: including Bob Craft. Good for him at Gillette Stadium. So
1:12
Speaker 1: he was removed from the tour, Macklemore. Well, now everybody's
1:15
Speaker 1: quitting the Ed Sheeran tour. All the people that were
1:18
Speaker 1: opening for him. Billie Eilish has got a brother, Phineas. Phineas?
1:26
Speaker 1: Phineas Eilish?
1:28
Speaker 2: Hey.
1:31
Speaker 1: Irish singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe, Danish band Lucas Graham, Irish folk group,
1:37
Speaker 1: all these people, they're all quitting. They're not going to
1:39
Speaker 1: open for Ed Sheeran in solidarity with the anti-Semite Macklemore,
1:46
Speaker 1: who likes to come out and yell, free Palestine. You know,
1:48
Speaker 1: you pay a couple hundred dollars for a concert ticket
1:51
Speaker 1: and have some guy lecture you about something, and it
1:53
Speaker 1: has to be something anti-Semitic. And he was wearing a
1:56
Speaker 1: kifa draped over his shoulders. So they're all out. They
2:05
Speaker 1: will not open for Ed Sheeran. You know what? Get
2:08
Speaker 1: a comedian. Although with that crowd, I don't know if
2:11
Speaker 1: that'll work. Ed Sheeran is trying to spin this. He's
2:18
Speaker 1: backing off. Oh, no, he's actually backing Macklemore. He's Sheeran
2:23
Speaker 1: is saying. It was the promoter's decision. It was not mine.
2:29
Speaker 1: Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me.
2:33
Speaker 3: I don't know.
2:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you're going to back somebody, not
2:40
Speaker 1: this anti-Semite. Maybe it was. I mean, obviously, it's the
2:43
Speaker 1: promoter involved. But it's you. It's your tour. And good
2:47
Speaker 1: for the promoter. Just throw these guys off the tour.
2:50
Speaker 1: You know what? You're there to sing, entertain. That's it.
2:53
Speaker 1: We don't want to hear from you on anything else. Hey,
2:56
Speaker 1: we were talking about these AI companies before. They are
3:01
Speaker 1: loaded up with, first of all, left-wing, real left-wing Obama people.
3:09
Speaker 1: They're loaded up with a lot of CIA, ex-CIA, those
3:13
Speaker 1: same guys who launched the Russia hoax. You'd recognize the names,
3:18
Speaker 1: the same guys who that were involved with the cover-up
3:21
Speaker 1: of the Hunter Biden laptop, you know, signing those lists.
3:23
Speaker 1: So these guys, these AI companies, do you have any
3:26
Speaker 1: idea how much money they make? It's not billions. It's
3:29
Speaker 1: like trillions, this cartel. So they can buy off these
3:33
Speaker 1: politicians left and right. Now, they happen to be Democrats,
3:36
Speaker 1: so they bought off the Democrats. And they're big Democratic donors.
3:40
Speaker 1: You can buy off the Republicans, too. Plenty of companies
3:43
Speaker 1: do that. But these guys have bought off Democrats. They
3:46
Speaker 1: are very, very busy coordinating things. this cartel. Obama is
3:51
Speaker 1: sort of their coach. He's advising them on this. So
3:56
Speaker 1: this whole, we demand to be regulated, as John Carney,
4:00
Speaker 1: the best business brain of all, explained to us before.
4:04
Speaker 1: It's happened before where a bunch of companies, a handful
4:07
Speaker 1: of companies, totally monopolize and dominate an industry. They become
4:11
Speaker 1: a cartel, and then they call for regulations. bureaucracy, red tape,
4:16
Speaker 1: regulation to keep everybody else out, sort of close the
4:20
Speaker 1: gate behind them so no one else can get in.
4:23
Speaker 1: And these four companies dominate AI. They control it all.
4:28
Speaker 1: But on the horizon, there are a lot of young
4:30
Speaker 1: startups that can come up. You'll notice in the days
4:33
Speaker 1: as AI began, a company could rise up and take
4:36
Speaker 1: over pretty fast. So they want a ton of regulation.
4:39
Speaker 1: Stop that from happening. The Carnegie Deli reopened yesterday. There
4:45
Speaker 1: was a line down the block. Check out my Instagram.
4:48
Speaker 1: You can see some pictures and stuff. Go to MarkSimoneNYC
4:52
Speaker 1: at Instagram. The original Carnegie, the famous Carnegie of the 70s, 80s, 90s.
4:59
Speaker 1: That was Leo Steiner, the great Leo Steiner. His partner,
5:02
Speaker 1: Milton Parker. Leo was the personality. The guy that was
5:06
Speaker 1: always all over television. The guy that was friends with
5:08
Speaker 1: all the celebrities. He died young. Milton Parker was more
5:13
Speaker 1: the serious guy, the business guy. And he ran it.
5:16
Speaker 1: He kept the place going. And it's now run. It
5:20
Speaker 1: was run a few years ago by his daughter, Marion.
5:22
Speaker 1: It's actually Marion Harper. But now her daughter, granddaughter of
5:26
Speaker 1: the original owner, Sari Harper, is the new boss, the
5:30
Speaker 1: new CEO running the Carnegie. It's in a different location.
5:36
Speaker 1: Strangely enough, it's where the Stage Deli was, their arch
5:39
Speaker 1: rival for years. It's, I think, nicer looking. I think
5:44
Speaker 1: it's a little smaller. Well, the old Carnegie was about
5:47
Speaker 1: the same size, but then remember they knocked through to
5:49
Speaker 1: the next door and took over that building. But it's
5:52
Speaker 1: a nice size and shape. It's very well laid out.
5:55
Speaker 1: The food is as good as ever. The sandwiches are
5:58
Speaker 1: bigger than ever. Prices didn't go up very much. They
6:02
Speaker 1: now added, besides the great cheesecake, they've added a black
6:04
Speaker 1: and white cookie that's very good. So the Carnegie is back.
6:08
Speaker 1: A lot of people there yesterday. Here's a customer. Everybody's
6:10
Speaker 1: trying to be modern.
6:11
Speaker 4: Everybody's trying to be cool and chic.
6:13
Speaker 1: And this is just nostalgic, original, what delis in New
6:17
Speaker 1: York are all about. And there aren't any of those
6:19
Speaker 1: around like this. Yeah, you know, everything is, you're right.
6:22
Speaker 1: Everything's modern. Everything's new. And if you're the big Instagram
6:26
Speaker 1: food sensation, you know it's going to be dot cake.
6:29
Speaker 1: Right now it's this bakery downtown called Rye. That's the
6:32
Speaker 1: hot thing. It's a $ 60 loaf of rye bread that's incredible.
6:37
Speaker 1: And you can go in and get slices. You can
6:38
Speaker 1: get a slice with different toppings. That's like the hot
6:41
Speaker 1: Instagram thing right now. Delis were gone. Delis were dead.
6:47
Speaker 1: Diners are dying. You know, the younger generations came along
6:51
Speaker 1: that weren't interested in delis. You know, younger generations, especially
6:57
Speaker 1: in the Jewish community, the young generations, they don't want
6:59
Speaker 1: to go to the Catskills. They don't want to go
7:00
Speaker 1: to a deli. They want all the modern stuff. So
7:04
Speaker 1: it's tough to be an Instagram sensation as a deli
7:07
Speaker 1: selling a pastrami sandwich. But Carnegie doing very well. There's
7:12
Speaker 1: a guy that, he lives in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, but he
7:15
Speaker 1: would come in a couple times a year for the Carnegie.
7:17
Speaker 1: He was the first guy in line. He waited many
7:19
Speaker 1: hours in line yesterday. And they even put his picture on.
7:23
Speaker 1: There's a wall of pictures. If you look hard, you'll
7:26
Speaker 1: find my picture up there somewhere. But yeah. this guy,
7:28
Speaker 1: they decided to put his picture on the wall. You
7:30
Speaker 1: drove all the way from Pennsylvania.
7:32
Speaker 5: You're going to be on the wall of fame. Why, why,
7:34
Speaker 5: why Carnegie deli? Why is this such an important place
7:37
Speaker 5: for you?
7:37
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to.
7:38
Speaker 3: Ask you a better question.
7:40
Speaker 1: Are you out of your mind? This is the only
7:42
Speaker 1: place to be.
7:43
Speaker 6: Yeah.
7:43
Speaker 1: Well, it is.
7:44
Speaker 3: It is.
7:44
Speaker 1: Uh, all right. The most famous thing there is the
7:48
Speaker 1: pastrami rye mustard. Uh, some people like the corned beef.
7:53
Speaker 1: They got a, uh, a new one. It's a, Actually,
7:56
Speaker 1: I think it's everything. It's corned beef, pastrami, turkey, like
8:01
Speaker 1: everything on one sandwich. It's about a foot high. Very
8:04
Speaker 1: tough to eat. The cheesecake is as good as ever. Again,
8:08
Speaker 1: the black and white cookie has been added. The one
8:12
Speaker 1: thing I wish they... You can't find this anymore, but
8:14
Speaker 1: they used to have the rudest... Not rude. Surly waiters.
8:18
Speaker 1: Surly waiters. Those big, fat, old... Herb, what's his name?
8:22
Speaker 1: What do you have? What else? What else? They're barking
8:25
Speaker 1: at you. They're all young, nice-looking, sharp people. So it's different.
8:30
Speaker 1: But I guess you can't find those kind of guys anymore.
8:32
Speaker 1: They don't exist anymore. Those old countermen that worked behind
8:36
Speaker 1: the deli slicing and dicing, they all had big muscles
8:40
Speaker 1: and tattoos, and they were all from Brooklyn to Bronx.
8:46
Speaker 1: You don't find it. Everybody was very young working in there,
8:48
Speaker 1: very young. But it's a great place. The New Carnegie is...
8:54
Speaker 1: One block south of the old Kearney. It's where the
8:56
Speaker 1: old Stage Deli was. Go in and try it. You'll
9:00
Speaker 1: love it. It's doing very, very well. It's not that bad.
9:04
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to wait too long, but
9:05
Speaker 1: it's very, very good. We're waiting for 2 o'clock. The
9:09
Speaker 1: Fed will announce most likely a rate hike of a
9:11
Speaker 1: quarter of a point, but it'll be the first hike
9:14
Speaker 1: in three years. The president won't be too happy about it,
9:17
Speaker 1: but it's probably the right thing to do, the quarter
9:19
Speaker 1: of a point. The stock market, they like it. The
9:24
Speaker 1: stock market is pretty even right now, not dropping. We'll
9:28
Speaker 1: see what happens. And then the big problem is the
9:32
Speaker 1: price of oil. It's up. It's up way too high
9:35
Speaker 1: right now. Our oil that we use, $ 102 a barrel.
9:39
Speaker 1: Brent crude, the rest of the world uses, about $ 105
9:41
Speaker 1: a barrel. Big problem is diesel fuel. Diesel is way up.
9:51
Speaker 1: President Trump blaming Zelensky for that because Zelensky has been
9:57
Speaker 1: very good at fighting off Russia. and he's really been
10:00
Speaker 1: on the offense. He's been launching, he's got these missiles
10:03
Speaker 1: and drones that he's built there in these factories that
10:05
Speaker 1: he created, long range missiles and drones, and he's been
10:10
Speaker 1: able to strike deep into Russia and he's been hitting
10:14
Speaker 1: their fuel refineries and taking out but he's knocked out
10:18
Speaker 1: some of their diesel refineries that make the diesel fuel.
10:22
Speaker 1: And the result of that is diesel prices are rising
10:25
Speaker 1: all over the world. And that's to hurt Russia because
10:28
Speaker 1: that's what they sell, but it's hurting everybody, including us
10:32
Speaker 1: with the high diesel fuel. So apparently the president yelling
10:34
Speaker 1: at Zelensky, stop hitting the diesel refineries, stop going after them. Hey,
10:41
Speaker 1: we talked about this Gavin Newsom interview with Jake Tapper, the,
10:45
Speaker 1: Two of the most boring guys on CNN, they were
10:48
Speaker 1: fly fishing. I forgot to mention the other thing. In
10:51
Speaker 1: this interview, if you watch it, which nobody did, and
10:53
Speaker 1: it's too long, who the hell can watch the whole thing?
10:55
Speaker 1: Newsom admits, actually admits to making all kinds of mistakes
11:00
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, the lockdown. He now admits closing the
11:06
Speaker 1: beaches was pretty dumb. Closing the beaches was pretty stupid.
11:12
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense at all. A lot of
11:14
Speaker 1: places did not close beaches, but he did. He also
11:17
Speaker 1: said they made huge mistakes about closing the schools. They
11:21
Speaker 1: didn't reopen when they should have. And, of course, remember
11:25
Speaker 1: Fauci made some of the dumbest recommendations ever. But it's
11:30
Speaker 1: nice to see people admit that kind of stuff. Hey,
11:33
Speaker 1: we talked about this before. Harry Reid, when Mitt Romney
11:37
Speaker 1: was running for president, he was doing pretty well. And
11:40
Speaker 1: the law is you can say anything on the floor
11:42
Speaker 1: of the Senate. Nobody can sue you for it. So
11:45
Speaker 1: Harry Reid, Harry Reid, all of a sudden the Senate
11:50
Speaker 1: floor claims that Romney has not paid his taxes in years.
11:54
Speaker 1: There's no truth to this. It's total fiction. He just lied.
11:57
Speaker 1: He just made it up. I forgot Joe conscious sent
12:00
Speaker 1: me this, uh, read later when he was out of office,
12:03
Speaker 1: admitted he lied, said he had no regrets about it.
12:06
Speaker 1: He said it was the right thing to do at
12:07
Speaker 1: the time. Unbelievable. That he would actually admit it.
12:11
Speaker 4: He used the Senate floor to go after GOP mega donors,
12:14
Speaker 4: the Koch brothers, and accused Mitt Romney of not paying
12:17
Speaker 4: his taxes with no evidence.
12:20
Speaker 6: Let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't.
12:23
Speaker 1: A lie.
12:24
Speaker 3: The Koch brothers, no one would help me. They were
12:27
Speaker 3: afraid the Koch brothers would go after them.
12:29
Speaker 7: So I did it on my own.
12:30
Speaker 6: So no regrets about Mitt Romney, about the Koch brothers.
12:33
Speaker 8: Some people even called it McCarthyite.
12:39
Speaker 1: No, no regrets. He doesn't regret lying because he got
12:42
Speaker 1: that law, which it should change. You can say anything
12:45
Speaker 1: you want on the Senate floor. Nobody can sue you
12:48
Speaker 1: for it. Hey, John Fetterman, you know, he's a very
12:52
Speaker 1: common sense guy. And a lot of people think he
12:55
Speaker 1: doesn't fit in with the Democrats. He should become a Republican.
12:58
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about that. But don't
13:03
Speaker 1: tell Fetterman that. He's not happy about that. Take a listen.
13:06
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a Republican. And why can't
13:10
Speaker 1: you guys just wait till the midterm, you know? And
13:13
Speaker 1: if I turn a Republican and then I'll be a
13:15
Speaker 1: liar then. Like, it's just, like, my name is not
13:19
Speaker 1: on the ballot.
13:20
Speaker 3: Like, chill and wait for the midterm here.
13:23
Speaker 1: I've always been a Democrat. Yeah. First of all, he
13:27
Speaker 1: can't be a Republican. He'd have to put on a
13:29
Speaker 1: suit and tie. He can't do that, he said. The shorts,
13:33
Speaker 1: the hoodie. He always looks like he's going to a
13:35
Speaker 1: basketball game, not Congress. And it turns out, according to
13:40
Speaker 1: several exposés, he doesn't like to work too much. He's
13:43
Speaker 1: barely there. He misses meetings all the time. He has
13:48
Speaker 1: a system now where he can show up for a second,
13:51
Speaker 1: get clocked in as attending a Senate meeting, but leave immediately.
13:58
Speaker 1: So he's not really there. So, hey, there's stuff coming
14:01
Speaker 1: out about the assassination, the attempted assassination, Butler, Pennsylvania, of Trump.
14:08
Speaker 1: And stuff coming about the assassin. Weird stuff. And remember,
14:13
Speaker 1: he was cremated right after. That was kind of odd.
14:16
Speaker 1: His family said they didn't have money even to cremate him.
14:19
Speaker 1: So an anonymous donor paid it to get him quickly cremated.
14:22
Speaker 1: It's very strange. Normally, we know everything about an assassin.
14:26
Speaker 1: Nothing in this case. It's slowly coming out. But the
14:31
Speaker 1: guy was a weird kid who trained himself to be
14:34
Speaker 1: a marksman at great distance. And he would have killed Trump.
14:39
Speaker 1: He was aiming right for his head. You know, had
14:41
Speaker 1: he aimed for the chest, he probably would have been successful.
14:44
Speaker 1: Trump wouldn't have been able to turn far enough. But
14:46
Speaker 1: he was aiming for the head. And in the most
14:50
Speaker 1: astonishing coincidence, there's a graph that Trump uses about immigration.
14:55
Speaker 1: It goes at the end, at the very end of
14:57
Speaker 1: the speech. The woman that runs the graphics made a
15:00
Speaker 1: mistake and put it up too early. All of a sudden,
15:02
Speaker 1: she put it up, and he turned to look at it.
15:05
Speaker 1: He said, that's not now. As he turned to look
15:08
Speaker 1: at it, just as the shot was fired, he turned
15:10
Speaker 1: to look at it, and that's why it missed his
15:12
Speaker 1: skull and only hit his ear. Take a listen to
15:16
Speaker 1: that frightening moment.
15:17
Speaker 6: I want to really see something that said, take a
15:19
Speaker 6: look at what happened over there.
15:28
Speaker 1: And it was horrifying. I remember somebody was killed there.
15:30
Speaker 1: People were shot behind Trump. So they're looking into the assassination.
15:35
Speaker 1: Todd Blanch, the attorney general, he did the press briefing yesterday.
15:39
Speaker 1: He was asked about it. I was there with him.
15:41
Speaker 1: I lived it.
15:41
Speaker 8: I mean, you have a situation where it's not really
15:44
Speaker 8: clear what the leadership of the FBI were doing in
15:47
Speaker 8: the weeks and months ahead of the attempted assassination to
15:51
Speaker 8: protect President Trump. That's the same organization that was simultaneously
15:55
Speaker 8: trying to put him in prison until he dies.
15:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, something weird happened. They should have known everything and
16:00
Speaker 1: uncovered everything about that assassin within a couple of days.
16:04
Speaker 1: It's getting looked into now, but a little too late. Hey,
16:07
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
16:09
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
16:09
Speaker 1: We always like to have some new callers. 800-321- 0710. No.
16:22
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. 9 till noon weekdays. More Mark.
16:27
Speaker 9: 710WOR.
16:27
Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Dr. Bob,
16:33
Speaker 1: a great surgeon in Long Island. Dr. Bob, how are
16:36
Speaker 1: you doing?
16:37
Speaker 4: I'm good, Mark. Mark, I can't let you corner the
16:39
Speaker 4: market there. You know, we have Pastrami and Friends in Comac,
16:44
Speaker 4: and we also have Lido Beach Deli. Pastrami and Friends
16:48
Speaker 4: offers lean pastrami, but also juicy. But juicy, you better
16:52
Speaker 4: have your Lipitor or Crestor ready.
16:56
Speaker 1: It's okay, but it's not the Carnegie Deli.
16:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's no congestion pricing, Mark.
17:02
Speaker 1: You've got plenty of expense going out to Long Island. Hey,
17:05
Speaker 1: you've got Ben's Deli, Ben's Kosher Deli, all over Long Island.
17:09
Speaker 4: That's okay.
17:10
Speaker 1: What do you mean it's okay? There's one in Bayside.
17:12
Speaker 1: There's one in Woodbury. Woodbury.
17:14
Speaker 3: They're good.
17:15
Speaker 2: They're all right.
17:15
Speaker 4: But these others are classic. They're similar to the city,
17:19
Speaker 4: but the city is special. I'll admit that.
17:24
Speaker 1: Let me just point out something. They're not the same
17:26
Speaker 1: as the city. I know you. Everybody in every suburb,
17:28
Speaker 1: in the suburbs, they take you to a restaurant and go,
17:30
Speaker 1: it's as good as anything in the city, isn't it? No,
17:33
Speaker 1: it's not even close.
17:35
Speaker 4: You've got to disjoint your jaw to get the sandwich
17:38
Speaker 4: in your mouth.
17:38
Speaker 1: All right. You can handle it. You're a surgeon. It's
17:41
Speaker 1: good for business.
17:42
Speaker 6: Thanks, Mark.
17:42
Speaker 1: All right. Thanks. Any suburb. Go visit anybody in any suburb.
17:47
Speaker 1: They'll take you to a restaurant. Tell the truth. It's
17:49
Speaker 1: as good as anything in the city. No, it's not
17:52
Speaker 1: even close. Then the other one they'll take. You know,
17:55
Speaker 1: people come from the city to eat here. Yeah, if
17:58
Speaker 1: their car broke down on the highway, maybe. No, they
18:00
Speaker 1: don't come from the city to eat there. Let's go
18:02
Speaker 1: to Aaron in Brooklyn. Aaron, how are you doing?
18:05
Speaker 7: Thank God I'm alive. Listen, first I want to say this.
18:08
Speaker 7: This is not anti-Semitic. Not medic. It's medic. Anti-Semitic. And
18:12
Speaker 7: the kosher, what Ben's kosher deli may or may not
18:16
Speaker 7: be kosher, and the fact they call it kosher doesn't
18:18
Speaker 7: make it so. And once you're talking about that serve
18:20
Speaker 7: of dairy, cheesecake with meat, it can't possibly be kosher.
18:25
Speaker 4: I'm calling the.
18:25
Speaker 7: Reason I'm calling it kosher.
18:26
Speaker 1: Did anybody ever tell you you're a little annoying?
18:29
Speaker 7: Probably.
18:29
Speaker 1: Yes.
18:31
Speaker 7: Probably.
18:33
Speaker 1: The Carnegie never claims to be kosher. Oh, you're talking
18:35
Speaker 1: about Ben's kosher deli.
18:36
Speaker 7: Right. Which may be.
18:38
Speaker 1: I don't know.
18:39
Speaker 7: I was the lone holdout juror on a murder case
18:42
Speaker 7: roughly 40 years ago.
18:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're the kind of troublemaker that would do that.
18:46
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to go home. This guy's got to annoy everybody.
18:48
Speaker 6: That's true.
18:49
Speaker 1: Why did you hold out?
18:51
Speaker 7: I want things right.
18:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:54
Speaker 7: I don't go along with the crowd.
18:56
Speaker 1: I can tell. The crowd runs when they see you.
18:59
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Anyway, you're a nice guy, Aaron, but don't
19:02
Speaker 1: call again. No, I'm kidding. Call anytime you want. Let's
19:07
Speaker 1: go to, uh, bill in Idaho bill. How you doing?
19:11
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
19:11
Speaker 1: How are you?
19:13
Speaker 3: Uh, maybe it's just me, but listening to the Democrats
19:16
Speaker 3: reminds me of listening to the old pro wrestling fans.
19:20
Speaker 3: You remember pro wrestling used to be a state world
19:24
Speaker 3: daytime TV, and there were masses of all records.
19:27
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Pro wrestling was a staple of daytime TV.
19:31
Speaker 1: How old are you?
19:34
Speaker 6: Oh, Oh.
19:36
Speaker 1: You mean like with Dennis James and Gorgeous George? That
19:39
Speaker 1: kind of stuff?
19:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gorgeous George versus the Iron Sheik or Andre the Giant.
19:44
Speaker 1: Andre the Giant? That's a million years ago.
19:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, but here's the thing. You could not— Housewives are the
19:52
Speaker 3: biggest fans, and you could not convince them that it
19:55
Speaker 3: was fake. No way.
19:57
Speaker 1: Well, it's the same thing with politics, you know? So
20:00
Speaker 1: what do you think? Does color TV, will it catch on?
20:03
Speaker 1: Or people stick with the black and white set?
20:05
Speaker 3: I mean— Trump the villain versus Chuckie Schumer, the good guy?
20:09
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean.
20:11
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, Bill. Thanks for calling. Let's go see
20:14
Speaker 1: if we find a normal person here. Let's go to
20:17
Speaker 1: Gracie in Rockland County. Gracie, how you doing?
20:20
Speaker 5: Hi, how you doing? Listen, affordability, affordability. The gas is
20:24
Speaker 5: so much. The food is so much.
20:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:26
Speaker 5: But maybe if you didn't go to Starbucks. And you
20:29
Speaker 5: didn't pay $ 60 for a loaf of rye bread. Put
20:33
Speaker 5: your prep in order. Worry about if Iran gets the
20:38
Speaker 5: bomb and we're blown away.
20:39
Speaker 1: Hey, let me go where I want to go. I'll
20:41
Speaker 1: buy what I want to buy. I'll shop where I
20:43
Speaker 1: want to shop.
20:43
Speaker 5: Honey, you can afford it.
20:45
Speaker 3: I want to know.
20:46
Speaker 1: All right, stop. Yeah. She does make a good point, though.
20:52
Speaker 1: There's a lot of these people that complain about prices.
20:55
Speaker 1: And then they go to Starbucks and pay $ 8 for coffee. Hey,
20:58
Speaker 1: walk down the hall here. We got six coffee machines
21:01
Speaker 1: in that kitchen. It's free. I still see people coming
21:05
Speaker 1: in with the Starbucks cup. Let's go to Jerry in
21:08
Speaker 1: New Brunswick. Jerry, how you doing? Good, Mark.
21:11
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the call. You know, I just wanted
21:13
Speaker 2: to ask you, when are the American people going to
21:16
Speaker 2: wise up and realize that Islam is fundamentally a political movement,
21:21
Speaker 2: not a religion?
21:23
Speaker 1: Well, actually, it's both. For some people, it's a religion.
21:27
Speaker 1: There's a fanatical side to every religion. It happens. There's
21:31
Speaker 1: a fanatical bunch of Muslims. There's a bunch of religious Muslims.
21:35
Speaker 1: You can't overgeneralize.
21:37
Speaker 4: But how do you separate, Mark?
21:39
Speaker 1: Well, you can tell. There's some very peaceful, religious Muslims,
21:44
Speaker 1: and then there are the fanatical, lunatic, crazy Muslims. Again,
21:49
Speaker 1: there's like a fanatical side to A little small fanatical
21:53
Speaker 1: side to every religion. One more. Let's go to George
21:57
Speaker 1: in Port Jefferson. George, how are you doing?
21:59
Speaker 6: I'm doing great, Mark. The Carnegie, it's nice to see
22:02
Speaker 6: coming back. Maybe New York will come back.
22:05
Speaker 1: They never left. New York is here.
22:07
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I've worked at a place I'm sure
22:09
Speaker 6: you know, a very famous place. I worked at the
22:11
Speaker 6: brasserie in the Seagram's building.
22:13
Speaker 1: 52nd and Park. Right. Open all night, 24 hours. We
22:18
Speaker 1: used to go there at 4 in the morning.
22:20
Speaker 6: I worked a night shift, and when the bars closed,
22:23
Speaker 6: every celebrity who would come.
22:24
Speaker 1: We used to go there every night at 4 a.m.
22:27
Speaker 1: and leave at 7.
22:28
Speaker 6: Right, and I used to see Clyde Frazier come with
22:30
Speaker 6: his fur coat, and Joe Namath came. They were comparing coats.
22:34
Speaker 6: It was a great experience.
22:36
Speaker 1: The greatest place, and you had to come down a
22:37
Speaker 1: little staircase to get in.
22:39
Speaker 6: Right, and everybody saw you.
22:40
Speaker 1: Door open, everybody watched the staircase to see who was
22:42
Speaker 1: coming in.
22:43
Speaker 6: Mark, the onions, they were famous for their onion soup.
22:46
Speaker 6: It was an urban legend that the onion soup was
22:48
Speaker 6: sober you up. And you know what was in the
22:50
Speaker 6: onion soup, the secret that the chef would put in?
22:54
Speaker 6: Lee and Perrin's Worcestershire sauce.
22:56
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Well, great memories, George. Thanks for calling. I
23:00
Speaker 1: ate there 7,000 times. I never had the onion soup.
23:02
Speaker 1: But anyway... Oh, when we come back, Ann Coulter will
23:05
Speaker 1: be with us next. Lots to talk to her about.
23:08
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Ann Coulter next on 710WOR.
23:13
Speaker 5: It's the Mark Simone Show.
23:14
Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Well, Ann Coulter, the
23:21
Speaker 1: best-selling author, the great columnist. She's also got a big
23:25
Speaker 1: Rumble channel. You should be watching her Rumble channel. And,
23:27
Speaker 1: of course, follow her on Twitter. And even better, Substack.
23:31
Speaker 1: She's got podcasts and videos and all sorts of stuff,
23:33
Speaker 1: interviews on Substack. It's anncoulter.substack.com. Ann Coulter, how are you doing? Fantastic.
23:42
Speaker 9: How are you, Mark Simone?
23:44
Speaker 1: I'm good. What do you think about the midterms, Republicans?
23:47
Speaker 1: They don't seem to have a message. What's the message?
23:52
Speaker 9: That we promise we'll end the Iran war soon? No,
23:55
Speaker 9: they don't really have much of a message. I mean,
23:57
Speaker 9: they have, and Democrats... give this to them, how scary
24:02
Speaker 9: Democrats are. But there are only, I don't know, there
24:06
Speaker 9: are only so many times you can run on how
24:08
Speaker 9: bad the other team are. There are some great things
24:11
Speaker 9: that Trump has done, but I mean, I love him
24:14
Speaker 9: getting rid of the DEI and the horrible things that
24:18
Speaker 9: are said about our country from our national museums and parks,
24:22
Speaker 9: that sort of thing, ending the open discrimination against white males. uh...
24:29
Speaker 9: and i feel is doing a lot of deportation we
24:34
Speaker 9: could always use more uh... but uh... you know it's
24:38
Speaker 9: very easy for the media to make let people forget
24:43
Speaker 9: about that by talking about trump's obsession with putting his
24:46
Speaker 9: name on the kennedy center which really is not what
24:50
Speaker 9: we voted for it's all this other stuff and and
24:54
Speaker 9: his little tribute to himself It's not a disaster. It's
25:00
Speaker 9: not horrible. It's not like the Iran war. But it
25:03
Speaker 9: is kind of embarrassing and juvenile, and that's really not
25:06
Speaker 9: what we wanted Donald Trump to be the president for.
25:09
Speaker 1: So you're telling me that when people voted for Donald Trump,
25:13
Speaker 1: they said, this is the kind of guy who will
25:15
Speaker 1: never put his name on anything. This looks like a
25:17
Speaker 1: guy without an ego. His name is on everything he
25:22
Speaker 1: ever built.
25:25
Speaker 9: Yes, oh my gosh, what he's done to the Oval Office.
25:28
Speaker 9: I look forward to the next president coming in and
25:30
Speaker 9: removing the gold. It looks like Liberace's lair.
25:35
Speaker 1: No, wait, the gold was a great idea, but maybe
25:39
Speaker 1: not every inch of every wall.
25:42
Speaker 9: Have you seen the pictures of it?
25:46
Speaker 4: It is so.
25:47
Speaker 9: So awful. Okay, that's not a reason to vote for
25:49
Speaker 9: or against him.
25:50
Speaker 1: Well, no, I like the fact that he brought back
25:52
Speaker 1: some of those paintings. That was a great idea, but
25:54
Speaker 1: maybe not 200 of them in one room. Maybe 20.
26:02
Speaker 9: Yes, I'm quite sure I would trust your taste over Trump's.
26:07
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure nobody printed out a picture to give
26:09
Speaker 1: to their decorator saying, can we do something like this?
26:18
Speaker 9: Yes, that is true. But, you know, there were enough
26:22
Speaker 9: good things about Trump that all of that was brushed aside.
26:27
Speaker 9: But now that he is president, I really wish he
26:29
Speaker 9: would concentrate on presidential duties and the things we really,
26:34
Speaker 9: really need him for that no other Republican president has done,
26:37
Speaker 9: like enforcing immigration law, like enforcing criminal laws, like enforcing
26:43
Speaker 9: civil rights laws, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race.
26:47
Speaker 9: We could really use that. And it's getting to be
26:53
Speaker 9: kind of cliche, oh, we can chew gum and walk
26:55
Speaker 9: at the same time. No, you really can't. There's only
26:58
Speaker 9: a certain number of hours in the day. And even
27:02
Speaker 9: if he were doing all the great stuff and then
27:04
Speaker 9: only spending, oh, 30 minutes on the ballroom or the
27:10
Speaker 9: name on Kennedy Center or his picture on the passport,
27:13
Speaker 9: the media is going to spend 90% of the time,
27:16
Speaker 9: probably 99% of the time, talking about the frivolous things
27:19
Speaker 9: he's wasting his time on.
27:20
Speaker 1: Well, but every president has a hobby. Eisenhower would play golf.
27:24
Speaker 1: Johnson would go swimming. Clinton, we know what that hobby was.
27:28
Speaker 1: But with Trump, it's building. It's construction. That's his hobby
27:33
Speaker 1: while he's in office.
27:35
Speaker 9: Well, maybe after the midterms he should resign so he
27:38
Speaker 9: can spend more time doing the building and let Let
27:42
Speaker 9: us have J.D. Vance for 10 years.
27:44
Speaker 1: Hey, well, I wouldn't count on that. Hey, after 9-11,
27:50
Speaker 1: you know, Friday, we're watching all the 9-11 reliving and
27:53
Speaker 1: all of that. After that, it's hard to believe they
27:57
Speaker 1: left the border open for 20 years after we went
27:59
Speaker 1: through 9-11. They just left the border wide open. Were
28:03
Speaker 1: we insane? Republicans and Democrats left it open.
28:07
Speaker 9: Yes and not only that president bush that one pedal
28:11
Speaker 9: to the metal to bring in or more muslim immigrants
28:14
Speaker 9: to show uh... how much we love them so maybe
28:17
Speaker 9: they won't attack us again uh... i mean by the
28:20
Speaker 9: time george bush left office the muslim population in america
28:24
Speaker 9: had had doubled i'm not taking that that they should
28:28
Speaker 9: be persecuted but why would you do that we don't
28:32
Speaker 9: really need anymore people uh... And I might add that
28:37
Speaker 9: the Muslim immigrants we got back in the 90s were
28:44
Speaker 9: probably exclusively well-educated. They were doctors and engineers. And no,
28:52
Speaker 9: recently it's been more the third world of all sorts
28:57
Speaker 9: of religions and ethnicities. Just, you know, as long as
29:01
Speaker 9: your ancestors didn't invent the wheel, welcome, welcome.
29:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not just us. You were in Europe
29:07
Speaker 1: this summer. Europeans are a minority now in Europe, aren't they?
29:13
Speaker 9: I'm glad you asked. No, we are so much further
29:16
Speaker 9: gone than they are. Even in England, which is one
29:21
Speaker 9: of the worst, it's still about 85% white British. Same
29:26
Speaker 9: thing with the rest of Europe. I mean, it used
29:29
Speaker 9: to be 98% white European in Europe. in western europe uh...
29:37
Speaker 9: so yeah they brought in a lot but we're 56%
29:41
Speaker 9: white American. I mean, you see these little areas where
29:47
Speaker 9: Third World immigrants will, they form ghettos and they all
29:51
Speaker 9: live in the same towns together. So, yeah, they'll take
29:54
Speaker 9: over town squares and it's heartbreaking to see these beautiful
29:57
Speaker 9: British towns with with angry, chanting Muslims in them, but
30:01
Speaker 9: it's a tiny percentage of their population, especially compared to us.
30:05
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:06
Speaker 1: Hey, Ann Coulter, I was looking at your Twitter. Are
30:09
Speaker 1: you defending these flock cameras, these surveillance cameras everywhere?
30:14
Speaker 9: Ferociously, yes.
30:16
Speaker 3: Why?
30:18
Speaker 9: Well, because I think people are being hysterical about this.
30:24
Speaker 9: We're already on camera every place. Walk into a Walmart...
30:28
Speaker 9: Look at all these crimes that have been caught. You know,
30:31
Speaker 9: Brian Kohlberger, the guy who killed all those Iowa students,
30:35
Speaker 9: he was caught 100% because his car got caught on, luckily,
30:40
Speaker 9: neighbor's cameras. Same thing with the shooter of Charlie Kirk.
30:45
Speaker 9: Same thing with all sorts of crimes. They're catching kidnappers.
30:48
Speaker 9: And one not as important in the criminal area, but,
30:54
Speaker 9: you know, these poor dementia patients wander off.
30:57
Speaker 8: Uh.
30:57
Speaker 9: get in a car drive someplace the family's going crazy
31:00
Speaker 9: they found dementia patients that way and we're already on
31:04
Speaker 9: camera here on camera all over the place unfortunately you
31:12
Speaker 9: know you probably don't have to worry in new york
31:15
Speaker 9: because it will be uh... the people have to make
31:17
Speaker 9: sure the cameras are running are people who work for
31:20
Speaker 9: the new york city government so they will never ever
31:22
Speaker 9: be working well So you're fully safe here, but you
31:26
Speaker 9: only have to worry about the ring cameras in New York.
31:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, but flock cameras, first of all, it makes it
31:30
Speaker 1: tougher for speeding. That's a problem. We don't want that,
31:35
Speaker 1: do we?
31:38
Speaker 9: I thought some courts had ruled that that was illegal
31:41
Speaker 9: because there wasn't a person there. Anyway, no, we don't
31:46
Speaker 9: want it for stupid stuff, and this is always how
31:48
Speaker 9: liberals will try to wreck excellent technology.
31:51
Speaker 7: No, it's not.
31:52
Speaker 9: Supposed to be used to prove.
31:55
Speaker 9: So that they can impose even greater property taxes or
32:00
Speaker 9: income taxes or for speeding. This is supposed to be
32:03
Speaker 9: used for crime.
32:04
Speaker 1: So our crazy Mayor Mamdani, he's got this Vision Zero.
32:08
Speaker 1: He wants more bike lanes, more pedestrian malls in the
32:13
Speaker 1: middle of New York City. What is it with these
32:15
Speaker 1: Democrats and their war on the roads, on streets, on cars?
32:21
Speaker 9: It is very strange. It seems to be.
32:24
Speaker 6: I.
32:27
Speaker 9: Mean, their love for public transportation just seems so... And
32:32
Speaker 9: New York City subways, when you don't have to worry
32:35
Speaker 9: about being pushed on the tracks or raped or mugged
32:38
Speaker 9: or robbed, they do run fast or catching leprosy from
32:44
Speaker 9: these disgusting subways. But they do move fast, so that's great.
32:49
Speaker 3: But....
32:50
Speaker 9: I think they just hate the American individualism of being
32:54
Speaker 9: able to drive in your own car, listen to your
32:57
Speaker 9: own music, go in the direction you want to go in. No,
33:02
Speaker 9: they want us all gathered together, going the same way,
33:08
Speaker 9: facing the same way. You'll all pile into and the
33:10
Speaker 9: government will control where you go and how fast you go.
33:15
Speaker 9: I mean, I guess that isn't true with the bikes,
33:16
Speaker 9: but it's not turning out to be The utopia, I think,
33:20
Speaker 9: leftists thought it would be not with these motorized bikes.
33:25
Speaker 9: The accidents and the deaths from that, I mean, terrifying
33:28
Speaker 9: crossing the street.
33:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they said it was to stop car accidents,
33:32
Speaker 1: but you're right. The bike accidents are much more than
33:34
Speaker 1: the car accidents. And start giving out tickets to the bikes.
33:37
Speaker 1: Start regulating them. Make them get licensed. You're right.
33:42
Speaker 9: Yes, they clearly do not do that. Bikes going absurdly fast,
33:47
Speaker 9: faster than cars. very difficult if you're riding your bike
33:51
Speaker 9: for fun, as I sometimes do in Central Park.
33:54
Speaker 1: You? Uh-huh. Oh.
33:58
Speaker 9: It's death-defying, these scooters and bikes going faster than motorcycles.
34:04
Speaker 9: And yeah, I suppose there's some law someplace that makes
34:09
Speaker 9: that illegal, but they're not enforcing the murder laws. They're
34:13
Speaker 9: certainly not going to enforce... apparently, the speeding laws for
34:19
Speaker 9: these motorized bikes.
34:20
Speaker 1: Well, we're out of time, but Ann Coulter, great stuff. Hey,
34:23
Speaker 1: check out her Rumble channel, Ann Coulter on Rumble, a
34:26
Speaker 1: whole channel of stuff, and you got something new coming
34:28
Speaker 1: out tomorrow?
34:31
Speaker 9: Yes, that'll be the Rumble video, and I have a
34:35
Speaker 9: column going up shortly on this hysteria over artificial intelligence,
34:40
Speaker 9: which is a total scam, and don't fall for it.
34:42
Speaker 1: All right, everybody check that out. Go to Ann Coulter
34:44
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Follow her on Substack, anncoulter.substack.com. Ann Coulter, thanks
