Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Much more Mark. Mark Simone. On 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Well,
- 0:08Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. It's hour number two.
- 0:11Speaker 1: In case there's anybody who doesn't know, we start at
- 0:15Speaker 1: nine o'clock now. It's three hours, nine to noon every day. Now, CNN, MSNBC, boy,
- 0:23Speaker 1: especially MSNBC, they are always caught. with fake stories, fake news.
- 0:28Speaker 1: You know, whenever you say that, people go, give me
- 0:31Speaker 1: one example. Almost every week there's a fake story that
- 0:35Speaker 1: they put out. It just happened. It happened this week. MSNBC,
- 0:40Speaker 1: whatever the hell they call it, broke a big story
- 0:44Speaker 1: about Kash Patel's secret trip to Russia. They reported that
- 0:50Speaker 1: Kash Patel, FBI director, landed in Moscow on for a
- 0:55Speaker 1: mysterious trip to Russia. Wow. Now, the NBC reporter, Ken Delaney,
- 1:05Speaker 1: excuse me, he's not NBC, MSNOW reporter, MSNOW reporter. NBC
- 1:10Speaker 1: has nothing to do with this network anymore. They threw
- 1:12Speaker 1: him out of the company and they threw him out
- 1:13Speaker 1: of the building. MSNOW reporter, breathlessly reporting on this secret
- 1:20Speaker 1: trip that Kash Patel made to Russia. Why is he
- 1:23Speaker 1: in Moscow? The on-air report cited two people familiar with
- 1:28Speaker 1: the story. They do this all the time. You know,
- 1:31Speaker 1: we have two sources on this. They always do that
- 1:35Speaker 1: to make it sound like it's definite. You know, if
- 1:37Speaker 1: I told you I got a source that told me that, well,
- 1:40Speaker 1: I have three sources. Well, now it sounds totally correct. Well,
- 1:44Speaker 1: if he's got three sources, it must be. They never
- 1:46Speaker 1: tell you who these sources are. And this is the
- 1:49Speaker 1: other phrase they use. They cited... Two people familiar with
- 1:54Speaker 1: the matter. What the hell does that mean, familiar with
- 1:56Speaker 1: the matter? Everybody's familiar with the matter. If I had
- 2:00Speaker 1: somebody talking about Cornell who's familiar with the matter. Well,
- 2:05Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the matter, but I don't know anything
- 2:07Speaker 1: on the inside. Everybody's familiar with it. So here's the
- 2:13Speaker 1: real deal. Kash Patel was never in Russia. It never happened.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It's a totally fake story. The guy's the FBI director.
- 2:21Speaker 1: You don't think there'd be a record of where he
- 2:23Speaker 1: is every second. He was never in Russia. He never
- 2:27Speaker 1: went to Moscow. It never happened. In fact, on the
- 2:29Speaker 1: day that they claim it happened, he was visiting Liberty
- 2:33Speaker 1: University in Virginia. It's just a total ridiculous fake story.
- 2:39Speaker 1: That's MS Now. They had multiple sources on this, and
- 2:43Speaker 1: they had two people familiar with the matter. It was
- 2:47Speaker 1: never there. I can give you a million examples of these.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow's been caught in so many fake stories. They
- 2:53Speaker 1: all have. Absolutely ridiculous. Paul McCartney. Hey, we were talking
- 2:59Speaker 1: about the Beatles before. You know, there's a new Beatles
- 3:01Speaker 1: biopic coming out. A biography picture of the Beatles. I
- 3:05Speaker 1: don't know. Do you really want to see that? I'd
- 3:07Speaker 1: rather just watch the Beatles. But apparently McCartney's not happy
- 3:11Speaker 1: with it. Now, what did they get wrong in the
- 3:15Speaker 1: story of the Beatles that bothers me? Well... It turns
- 3:17Speaker 1: out the guy playing him in the movie is shorter
- 3:23Speaker 1: than John Lennon. You see, if you're the subject of
- 3:27Speaker 1: the movie, you're always going to get bothered by something
- 3:30Speaker 1: nobody else would even notice or care about. But he
- 3:32Speaker 1: noticed the guy playing McCartney is shorter than John Lennon
- 3:36Speaker 1: and McCartney not happy. He said, take a look at
- 3:38Speaker 1: any picture, any video, anything. We're all the same height.
- 3:41Speaker 1: We were all the same height. It's one thing that
- 3:43Speaker 1: Beatles were very lucky about. They looked so great when
- 3:47Speaker 1: they came on the Ed Sullivan show. They looked great
- 3:49Speaker 1: because they had the little beetle suits with the tie.
- 3:53Speaker 1: You remember back then it was the rock and roll
- 3:56Speaker 1: early 60s, late 50s. Everything was Elvis Presley with the
- 3:59Speaker 1: leather jacket. They all looked like Fonzie. And the Beatles
- 4:02Speaker 1: come to America. It was very smart on the part
- 4:05Speaker 1: of Brian Epstein. You know, with these juvenile delinquent rock
- 4:08Speaker 1: and roll. There was the Beatles in suits and ties.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Beetle suits and ties. And it helped with the parents
- 4:14Speaker 1: and everything. But The other thing is they look good
- 4:17Speaker 1: on stage. They are all the same height. They got
- 4:20Speaker 1: just lucky that McCartney was left-handed because one mic was
- 4:25Speaker 1: John Lennon or George Harrison. The other, it would be
- 4:29Speaker 1: McCartney and the other, whoever it was, standing next to
- 4:31Speaker 1: each other. But because McCartney was left-handed, his guitar went
- 4:36Speaker 1: that way and John Lennon's guitar went that way. It
- 4:39Speaker 1: looked great. It was just beautiful symmetry. Instead of both
- 4:42Speaker 1: guitars going the same direction, And they would have gotten
- 4:45Speaker 1: in each other's way that way. Hey, flu season has
- 4:48Speaker 1: started earlier than expected. Now, some people don't want to
- 4:53Speaker 1: get the flu shot. You might want to get it
- 4:55Speaker 1: this year. They said it's a much more effective flu shot.
- 4:57Speaker 1: It's a different flu shot than usual. Traditionally, the flu
- 5:01Speaker 1: shot was a weakened version of the flu. They give
- 5:04Speaker 1: you a little flu virus to create some immunity. This
- 5:07Speaker 1: one is different. this is a mRNA vaccine. So it,
- 5:13Speaker 1: it like somehow tells your immune cells how to kill
- 5:17Speaker 1: the flu. So, but they're urging people to get it.
- 5:20Speaker 1: It's already underway starting earlier than usual. You know, the
- 5:23Speaker 1: problem now is, uh, if Democrats take Congress, if they,
- 5:28Speaker 1: if they were to win both houses and take total
- 5:31Speaker 1: control of Congress, what would they do? Well, you know,
- 5:35Speaker 1: of course they would impeach Trump every second, but, uh,
- 5:38Speaker 1: That's not the worst thing. The Democrats' real plan is
- 5:43Speaker 1: to totally change the whole infrastructure of our democracy and
- 5:48Speaker 1: create a system where no Republican can ever win again. Now,
- 5:52Speaker 1: the way they want to do that, and they've talked
- 5:54Speaker 1: about it openly, and now in the campaign, here's Kamala
- 5:56Speaker 1: Harris saying it this week, actually saying it out loud,
- 6:01Speaker 1: that there would be institutional changes. They would eliminate the
- 6:05Speaker 1: Electoral College. That would be number one. They would add
- 6:10Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. They would stack the court. Instead
- 6:12Speaker 1: of nine justices, it would be 12 or 20 justices,
- 6:16Speaker 1: which means they would load it up with a lot
- 6:19Speaker 1: of left-wing judges. And the other thing they would do
- 6:22Speaker 1: is make Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. states. Those are
- 6:27Speaker 1: two very left-wing places. And if you did that, that
- 6:31Speaker 1: would add four Democratic senators to Congress, House members too,
- 6:37Speaker 1: but four Democratic senators to the Senate, which would almost
- 6:41Speaker 1: guarantee the Democrats control the Senate and the House forever.
- 6:46Speaker 1: So that's the real Democratic plan. No electoral college, add
- 6:52Speaker 1: those two states, stack the Congress with Democrats, stack the
- 6:56Speaker 1: Supreme Court with Democrats. So it hasn't been talked about enough.
- 7:02Speaker 1: It's something everybody should be aware of. And the left
- 7:07Speaker 1: wing now hates 60 Minutes. It used to be their
- 7:09Speaker 1: big show because 60 Minutes every week for the last
- 7:11Speaker 1: few years would just attack Republicans left and right. It
- 7:14Speaker 1: would just tear apart. So Barry Weiss takes over, new
- 7:18Speaker 1: president of CBS News, and tries to make it a
- 7:20Speaker 1: little more balanced. Now, she's not a Republican. She's a Democrat.
- 7:24Speaker 1: She's left wing, Barry Weiss. She's from the New York Times.
- 7:28Speaker 1: But she wants a little balance there. And she's tried
- 7:31Speaker 1: to create it so the left wing, oh, they hate
- 7:34Speaker 1: 60 Minutes now. They check the 60 Minutes ratings every week.
- 7:39Speaker 1: They never checked them before, ever. Now they're checking. Well,
- 7:42Speaker 1: it turned out it took a nosedive this past week.
- 7:44Speaker 1: It was down to 6 million viewers. Lowest rated one
- 7:48Speaker 1: so far this season. You'll see this all over the
- 7:51Speaker 1: left-wing news. The New York Times, MSNL, 60 Minutes. Why
- 7:54Speaker 1: did it take a nosedive? I'm trying to blame it
- 7:56Speaker 1: on Barry Weiss. I think if you check the record,
- 7:59Speaker 1: there was no NFL game leading into 60 Minutes this week.
- 8:03Speaker 1: The whole ratings of 60 Minutes depends on what NFL
- 8:06Speaker 1: game is on right before it. If it's the biggest
- 8:09Speaker 1: game and the greatest game, 60 Minutes gets 10 million viewers.
- 8:13Speaker 1: If it's a bad game, 8 million. If there's no game,
- 8:15Speaker 1: 6 million. There was no afternoon game on the network
- 8:19Speaker 1: leading into 60 Minutes. So the lead-in was the local
- 8:23Speaker 1: news or something. So that's the reason for those lower ratings.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Anthropic claims that small AI models... Anthropic, of course, one
- 8:34Speaker 1: of the four companies that control AI, this little cartel,
- 8:39Speaker 1: big cartel that controls AI. The little models are, this
- 8:45Speaker 1: is too technical to get into, but they could reproduce
- 8:49Speaker 1: themselves in internet-connected home devices. You know, you're going to
- 8:54Speaker 1: have AI in your oven, in your TV, in all
- 8:57Speaker 1: your devices. The point of this, without getting into the
- 9:00Speaker 1: weeds of all the technology of AI, it would be able,
- 9:06Speaker 1: the little AI cells in there would be able to
- 9:08Speaker 1: reproduce themselves and do all kinds of things combining with
- 9:12Speaker 1: the other appliances. Well, what this all means is you
- 9:16Speaker 1: won't need as much power and data from a data center.
- 9:21Speaker 1: So they think this is one of the breakthroughs. You know,
- 9:23Speaker 1: these data centers, the reason people hate them is they're
- 9:26Speaker 1: so big. They're the size of an airport and they...
- 9:30Speaker 1: They use a lot of electricity and a lot of water. Well,
- 9:33Speaker 1: they're solving the electricity problem by figuring out how to
- 9:37Speaker 1: create their own power using nuclear cells and other things.
- 9:40Speaker 1: The water power, they pretty much solved because they can
- 9:43Speaker 1: recycle the water. The noise from the turbines, that they
- 9:48Speaker 1: haven't solved. The turbine noise can go for a half mile,
- 9:51Speaker 1: make it unbearable for anybody living within a half mile.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Elon Musk is working now on fixing that. He's got
- 9:58Speaker 1: a turbine company trying to develop quieter turbines. The other
- 10:04Speaker 1: problem is the size, the massive size of these data centers. Well,
- 10:09Speaker 1: this stuff I was just talking about, this would solve that.
- 10:11Speaker 1: You wouldn't need data centers to be as large. That's
- 10:15Speaker 1: the other thing you've got to remember. You see this
- 10:17Speaker 1: data center now. That's now. Five years from now, the
- 10:20Speaker 1: data center will be much smaller and quieter. Same thing
- 10:24Speaker 1: happened with the computers. Remember, if you're back in the 1960s, 70s,
- 10:30Speaker 1: and you saw a computer, like an IBM special computer,
- 10:34Speaker 1: it was the size of a basketball court. I mean,
- 10:37Speaker 1: this computer was an enormous room with a computer in
- 10:41Speaker 1: it with a million blinking lights on it. Well, now,
- 10:44Speaker 1: you see this little iPhone I have here? This phone
- 10:47Speaker 1: got 10 times the power of that computer. So this
- 10:50Speaker 1: is the other thing you have to remember with these
- 10:51Speaker 1: data centers. They're going to get smaller and smaller and smaller.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And at some point, you could put them in a
- 10:58Speaker 1: little building. So all the problems of the data center
- 11:01Speaker 1: will go away as the technology develops. Ukraine, Zelensky all
- 11:09Speaker 1: upset because, first of all, President Trump made that deal
- 11:13Speaker 1: for Russia, the diesel fuel and all of that. the
- 11:16Speaker 1: price of diesel is too high. Russia's got a ton
- 11:19Speaker 1: of diesel oil. He wants them flooding the market with it.
- 11:24Speaker 1: That'll bring the price down for everybody. But Zelensky giving
- 11:29Speaker 1: him a hard time yelling and screaming about what a
- 11:31Speaker 1: victory for Putin. Why would the president do that? He's
- 11:33Speaker 1: on the wrong side. Well, next thing you know, his
- 11:37Speaker 1: Starlink system that he needs is You know, Ukraine has
- 11:41Speaker 1: become unbelievably skilled with the drones, massive drones, unbelievable, powerful
- 11:47Speaker 1: drones that they're hitting Russia with. These drones can go
- 11:51Speaker 1: 100 miles an hour. Can you imagine that? However, they
- 11:55Speaker 1: need to be coordinated with Starlink, not the regular Starlink
- 11:58Speaker 1: that we use in regular everyday life. This is the
- 12:02Speaker 1: military version of Starlink. It's called Starshield. It's Elon Musk.
- 12:07Speaker 1: He came up with this. This is the greatest technology
- 12:10Speaker 1: in warfare. This star shield can direct the drones, gather
- 12:13Speaker 1: intelligence real fast. Well, the system got shut down. So
- 12:18Speaker 1: Ukraine attacking Elon Musk like crazy. Musk online explaining he
- 12:24Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that. It's controlled by the U.S. government.
- 12:27Speaker 1: It's a system he sold to the U.S. government. They
- 12:30Speaker 1: own it. They control it. Any limits on speed or
- 12:33Speaker 1: usage were decided by the U.S. military and the president.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So putting the blame on them. I guess he, I
- 12:40Speaker 1: don't know, he's trying to let Zelensky know who's really
- 12:46Speaker 1: in charge. The other thing is, apparently they depend on us.
- 12:50Speaker 1: They may have all these weapons they've developed, but they
- 12:52Speaker 1: depend on us for all sorts of intelligence, real-time intelligence
- 12:57Speaker 1: on Russia and all of that. President reminding Zelensky he
- 13:02Speaker 1: shouldn't be so anti-US in his comments. Hey, Broadway's doing
- 13:07Speaker 1: pretty well. Broadway's doing very well. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, big new
- 13:12Speaker 1: show coming. Other Desert Cities. This is her new Broadway show.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Also Ed Harris, Allison Janier in it. It opens Sunday.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Incredible box office so far. It did over $ 2 million
- 13:27Speaker 1: second week of the box office. That's a lot of money. Hamilton,
- 13:31Speaker 1: which is doing better than ever, took in $ 3 million.
- 13:34Speaker 1: So this is getting close to Hamilton. $ 2 million in
- 13:37Speaker 1: one week. Yeah, Hamilton, I don't know why, has had
- 13:40Speaker 1: a huge revival. Huge revival. All of a sudden, it's
- 13:43Speaker 1: very big. A lot of people going to Hamilton now. Hey,
- 13:47Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman running a whole new series of ads. And also,
- 13:52Speaker 1: this James Dolan super PAC running some great ads going
- 13:57Speaker 1: after Hochul. You know, she spent a fortune last month
- 14:00Speaker 1: on ads bashing Blakeman. But what was a real compliment
- 14:06Speaker 1: to Blakeman, she did all this opposition research. She couldn't
- 14:09Speaker 1: find anything bad about Blakeman. There was nothing bad. So
- 14:13Speaker 1: all the ads are, he's friends with Trump. He likes Trump.
- 14:15Speaker 1: He endorsed Trump. He's with Trump. So Blakeman's got a
- 14:19Speaker 1: new ad that's excellent. It's just Blakeman looking in the camera.
- 14:23Speaker 1: He goes, Kathy Hochul, all you hear from her is Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
- 14:28Speaker 1: which is a brilliant idea. You keep running those ads.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And then when you see her ads yelling Trump, Trump, Trump,
- 14:34Speaker 1: They look even more ridiculous. Very good ad from Bruce Blakeman.
- 14:38Speaker 1: The debate, well, it takes a couple of days. The debate,
- 14:43Speaker 1: by Monday, you'll know. We'll get new polling on Monday.
- 14:46Speaker 1: We'll see what effect the debate had. It should be
- 14:50Speaker 1: a huge lift up for Blakeman, who's already tied with
- 14:53Speaker 1: her in the polls. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 14:55Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number. Especially new callers. We like new callers.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Give me a call. 800- 321-0710.
