  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Well, you know, AOC
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is on tour. Upstate New York, Buffalo, all these places.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of people think that's her running for the Senate.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Some think that's her campaigning for 2028. She's a congresswoman,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: so her district is in Queens. That's it. No reason
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to be campaigning upstate unless you're thinking about a statewide campaign.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Or national race, so she's clearly running for something. Now,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: her side is saying it's a book tour. She's simply
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: promoting her book. That could be because that's one way
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you make a lot of cash. You know, you don't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: get paid a lot as a congressman. But with the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: insider trading, you can make a fortune. But also making
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: some book money is very important when you're in Congress. Now,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this Cornell University... was prestigious. It's a disgusting place now.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, just disgusting. AOC goes to Cornell to speak,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and the Cornell crowd, as she's, during her speech or
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: before her speech, is chanting, from the river to the sea,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: which is a phrase that has to do with wiping
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: out and eliminating Israel. This is a college campus where
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff is going on. All of these
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Ivy League schools, Harvard, Columbia, disgusting places. Anti-Semitism going on
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: on these campuses. And apparently it's still going on at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Cornell where the students are chanting from the river to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the sea. There's a guy, he's a former South Park writer.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: He's created a website about Cornell. He says he's going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to expose gang rapes. And he issues a warning to Cornell.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Accountability is coming. So we'll see what that turns into. Hey,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton's estate. is being decided right now. Dolly Parton
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: left $ 450 million. Pretty good. $ 450 million. You know, she
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: wrote 3,000 songs. She had a lot of hit songs.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That music catalog said to be worth about $ 120 million.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And then she's a very good businesswoman. And those Dollywood,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Dollywood theme park, it makes a lot of money.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And she has a 50% stake in that. Forbes says
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: she's among the top 100 richest self-made women in America.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The problem is she had no children. Her husband is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: dead and she had no children. So he got all
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the relatives, cousins, uncles, nieces, you know, that kind of stuff.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And whenever that happens, nieces and nephews, they fight like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: crazy over the money. So there's going to be quite
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a battle. And you know who loves this? The attorneys,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the estate, you know, the People that run the estate,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they make a fortune in fees, so they'll enjoy fighting this.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: This is going to be quite a battle for a while. So, hey,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: remember this crazed attacker, this lunatic on the street? He
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: attacked a New York City rabbi, just pummeled the guy.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And then he attacked another person on the street, started
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: punching them, but just a horrible guy. So a judge
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: let him loose. Yeah, this is a guy who should
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: definitely be locked up. This is the absolute first choice
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: type of guy to keep off the street. Prosecutors only
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: requested $ 10, 000 bail. This is Alvin Bragg, this awful, awful
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: district attorney who doesn't believe in putting anybody in jail.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You've got a combination of that and Cuomo, where there's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: no bail, no jail, let everybody loose legislation that he pushed.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And Hochul backs that up because right now she's trying to–
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: get herself reelected with the Mamdani crowd. So she's into
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this no bail, no jail. But this guy is running
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: around loose right now. Hey, President Trump had quite a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: schedule this weekend. He was all over the place. The
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: President's Cup golf tournament in Chicago. Then he was in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Tennessee for the big football game, the Texas-Tennessee game. He
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: got there right before the game. But right before the game,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the crowd's already in the stadium. They got them in early.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: People thought maybe that's for security that they got the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: crowd in very early. It was probably this, too. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: president wanted to do a flyover. Air Force One did
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a flyover right over the stadium. It was quite impressive. Now,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Trump's been a major fixture at sporting events all over
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the place. NBA finals, golf tournaments, NASCAR. Formula One, all
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: kinds of races, World Cup, Met Stadium. Big sports fan,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: big sports guy, and he's been attending everything, which is good.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It's good for, you know, helps promote all this stuff.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: My favorite story in the news. Okay, when you were
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in school, grade school, maybe even high school, but grade school,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: did you have a really mean teacher? Did you have
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a really mean principal? Or a teacher that was too
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: tough or whatever, or too serious. And like me, when
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you got out of school, did you try to torture them?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: In other words, make prank phone calls to their house,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: call every pizza place around them and send pizzas to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: them that they didn't order. I'm not saying I did that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I've heard of people doing such a thing. But it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: can go too far. I can go too far. Southbury, Connecticut.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Very nice town, by the way. I love Southbury. It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a very nice place in Connecticut. There's a high school
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: teacher there. She teaches at Pomperog High School. I love Southbury,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: but this is the worst name I ever heard for
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a high school. Pomperog High School. But anyway, she was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: targeted in all sorts of vandalism at her house dating
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: back a couple of years. There were a number of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: repeated eggings, eggs thrown at her house. Well, that's not nice.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Her mailbox was blown up with an M-80 firecracker. Okay,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: this is not good. But police finally made an arrest.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: They got an 18-year-old Middlebury resident. That's not far from Southbury.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: They arrested the 18-year-old kid in connection with an incident.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They think there were other individuals involved. They say they'll
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be arrested soon. The student gave police a written confession.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He says he and five friends threw eggs at the residents,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: did all this stuff because they said to investigators they
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: hated this teacher because she was tough and they expected
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: her class to be easy. You kids today. Well, hey,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: there are some teachers who are too tough. I don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: know about this teacher, but you should never do anything
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like that. The prank phone calls, that's different, but you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: should not go near their house. Hey, remember I told
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you that story about Starbucks, they're closing down 250 locations?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound good for Starbucks. No, listen, they got 18,000 locations.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But that's a lot to all of a sudden close 250.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So they made it sound like it's nothing, like, well,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: every so often, you know, we close down our underperforming stores.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at the closures. Here's three on Long
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Island that closed. There's one in Wheatley Plaza in Greenville.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Wheatley Plaza, they got the Americana. Most beautiful shopping center
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in the world. That's in Long Island. The Castagna family,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: great people. They also own Wheatley Plaza, which is a beautiful, big, beautiful,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: packed shopping center. The Starbucks in there is one of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the ones closing. Huh? That's a big, busy shopping center.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: That parking lot is always full. If you can't make
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it in that shopping center, something is wrong with you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And again, it's the Castagna family. They're the nicest landlords.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Can't be a problem with that. There's something suspicious about
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: these closings. There's another Starbucks closing at the corner of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Northern Boulevard and Glen Cove. If you live in Long Island,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know that is two major streets that come together.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: This Starbucks is in a big shopping center where there's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: an Equinox, there's a gym, there's everything in the world
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in that shopping center. It's the busiest intersection you've ever seen.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: If you can't make a living there, if you've got
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to close a story there, something is wrong with this
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: whole story about, I don't know. I mean, if you're
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: getting wiped out there, something is really, really, really wrong.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: You know, James Woods, very good actor. Of course, Casino
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and a million movies. He's a brilliant guy, actually, in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: real life. I know the guy. Brilliant. He's got an
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: IQ like 200. And he's got one of the best
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Twitter accounts. He's really good on Twitter. Got millions of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Twitter followers. So apparently he gets into a war with
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: De Niro on Twitter. Now, James Woods, again, like an
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: IQ of like 190. He's battling De Niro, who has
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: an IQ of like 85. He's a great actor, De Niro,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: brilliant actor. But as most of the great actors were,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Brando and all, they're all dumb in real life. There's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: something about that. Truman Capote said, you have to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: dumb to be a great actor. He couldn't figure out
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: exactly why, but it was just always the case. So
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: De Niro starts battling James Woods on Twitter. Now, De Niro,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of course, very left wing. James Woods, right wing. I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: forget what the fight was about, but they really got
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: into it. And De Niro, he picked the wrong guy
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to go after. And he said, you know, you're irrelevant
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood. You mean nothing in Hollywood. He went after,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he called Woods ignorant, uneducated. claiming Hollywood never respected you anyway.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But then Woods fired back at De Niro. He said,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I pretty much pulled back from Hollywood while everyone was
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: bowing to Harvey Weinstein. And that would include De Niro.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He said, Bobby, forget it was, Bobby forgot it was
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: wokeness that made Hollywood unappealing and pedophiles sealed the deal.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He then reminded De Niro that my awards speak for themselves.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I never had to sell my soul for slop like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: little Fockers. Yeah, that's true. De Niro had some money
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: trouble at some point. I don't know if it was
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: divorces or what it was, but he needed cash all
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of a sudden. And I know from the agents involved,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: they had to quickly get him anything, any movie, no
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: matter how stupid or silly or, dopey it was. He
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: needed to make a lot of cash real fast, so
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that's why he did those horrible movies. Otherwise, he's done
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: some of the greatest films ever in history. Let me
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: check my new iPhone here. Oh, battery. The big feature
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of this phone, the longest battery life ever in a phone.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It can go two days. I've been using it now
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for like three hours. Three and a half, four hours.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Battery's only down to 97%. That's pretty good. Pretty amazing
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: battery life. Elon Musk is launching a rocket ship today.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people hate Elon Musk because
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: he got friendly with Trump or he was trying to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: cut the government down or they think he's a conservative
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But, you know, we're pretty lucky to have
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: this guy in the world. I mean, it's pretty amazing
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to live in the same world as this guy. It'd
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: be like knowing Thomas Edison. You know, you study Thomas
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Edison or Ben Franklin, but can you imagine having them
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: alive and watching them create all this stuff in their lifetime.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Imagine if you were alive back then watching Edison create, uh, uh,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the motion picture, creating the phonograph record, creating the light bulb.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine what this did to the world?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Elon Musk, he's on
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that level. I mean, he created the, uh, perfected the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: electric car. He's, uh, he created the Starlink, which will
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: be the future of all, uh, communication. He's going to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: go to the moon. He's launching rockets all over the place.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You know, you can attack them all you want. But
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: do you know anybody else launching rockets into space, putting
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: satellites up there, going to the moon? You know, the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: United States hasn't been to the moon in decades. Decades.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get back there, and it's a long,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: slow process. Watch. Elon Musk will get there long before us.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Our space program was so screwed up. Remember in the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: space station, we had astronauts stranded there and we couldn't
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: rescue them from the space station? It was Elon Musk
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: who had to go up there with one of his
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: rockets and get them down. How many private citizens do
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you know that could do that for the government? Hey,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: President Xi, it was quite a visit. Now, a lot
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of people were wondering because they're looking at the photographs
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of the state dinner. In the East Room of the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: White House, it was quite ornate and quite magnificent looking.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They had the most beautiful china. That was the Reagan china.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It was bought during the Reagan era. Most beautiful silverware.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: The most beautiful china. The table just magnificently decorated. And
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in the middle of all this, President Xi and Madame Peng...
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: had these big black thermoses, these big plastic or whatever
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: they are, black thermoses on the table. And everybody was
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: wondering what the hell is that all about? It's Chinese culture.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: They have to drink boiling hot stuff. The Chinese prefer
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: drinking extremely hot beverages. And the only way to keep
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it that hot is in a thermos. So they brought
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: their thermoses with them. I don't know what this is
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in China, but they like stuff really hot. You know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: if you're in Las Vegas, playing Baccarat in the high roller, uh, room,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: which is a private separate room for the extreme high rollers.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: They're all Asians in there. Asian, zillionaire high rollers. And
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the casino boss will tell you if you're going to
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: play in there, don't eat anything off the buffet. What
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: do you mean? Don't eat off that buffet. It's boiling hot.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You'll burn your mouth. The other day, like extremely hot
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: food and extremely hot drinks. You know, uh, if you're in, uh, China, uh,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Even the public water fountains in the country have a
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: boiling water option so people can keep their thermos filled.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's the opposite of America. Like, nobody will even drink
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: hot coffee anymore. Like, anybody under 40, it's got to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: be iced coffee. But that's a thing in China, boiling
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: hot everything. What is that all about? I have no idea.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Don't know. Don Lemon is doing a show, and he
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: claims he's not against Trump. And he's not a liberal.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You imagine if there was a lie detector hooked up,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that could have caused a blackout in like 12 States. Uh,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he said this in the latest episode of the Don
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Lemon show. Now you might be saying to yourself, where
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the hell is the Don Lemon show on? Who knows?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: It's his own website. It's done from, uh, from his
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: bedroom in his pajamas. But, uh, he's got a green
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: screen in the background and he calls it the Don
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Lemon show. Uh, This is what happens when you're tossed out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Don Lemon. You're doing a show
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: from home in your pajamas and pretending you're on television. Hey,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. If
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you're a new caller, call us. 800-321-0710.
