  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show continues on 710WOR.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's hour number two. That's right. That's right.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: It's three hours now, in case you don't know. It's
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: nine to noon. So if you just tuned in, you
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: missed the first hour. A lot to get to today.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Whatever it was last night, they call it a convention.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It was more of just a big rally. but you're
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: going to hear these stories. And if you read the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: fake news, I'm going to say, well, empty seats, a
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: lot of empty seats. And you're going to see this
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: one picture that keeps showing somebody went way up in
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the back and the furthest end of the bleachers. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: there's some empty seats there. And they took a picture
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: where the place is clearly packed, but in the back,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: there's a section of empty seats, but Zoom in on
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the picture. Zoom in on the stage, on the podium.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You'll notice there's nobody on the podium. There's nobody up
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on the stage. It's pretty clear if you zoom in
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and look. This is way before the thing started. People
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: tell me that once it started, the place was packed.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But if you zoom in there, you'll notice nothing is
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: happening yet. No one's on the stage. Nobody's on the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: side of the stage. It's way before the convention began.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: The big shocking part of this, first of all, The
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: president's speech was an hour and 47 minutes. Nobody can
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: watch one speech for an hour and 47 minutes. You
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: might say, hey, you're on three hours. Well, yeah, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you remember, we take breaks. We have a newscast. We
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: got a weather forecast. We take another break. We talk
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to a guest. It's not just me for one hour
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and 47 minutes talking straight. You can't do that. It's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: way too long. Even if you're the biggest Trump fan,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: an hour and 47 minutes? You know, after about 48 minutes,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you're kind of saying, well, I think I got the point.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So it's an hour and 47 minutes. You're on against
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the NFL opening game, which happens to be an incredible matchup.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's the two Super Bowl teams playing again. So you're
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on against that. It's like one of those idiots like
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen that do these concerts three hours. Three-hour concert.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: There are people that do that. I mean, I don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: care how much you like the artist. Do an hour.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Do your greatest hits. It's enough. All right. Maybe, maybe
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: if you're a big, big legendary superstar, okay, maybe you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: could do two hours. Three hours? Nobody wants three hours
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. Speaking of concerts, Billy Joel. You know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he's been suffering some medical problems, and he had to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: stop touring, and he's... Supposedly coming back. But he finally
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: revealed it was more serious than we thought. It was
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: actual brain surgery. Billy Joel actually had excess fluid in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: his brain. It's called NPH. It's a very scary thing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They had to implant a shunt to drain excess fluid
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: from inside his skull. He first noticed his balance wasn't good.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: He had this sense of being on a boat and rocking.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: went to all kinds of neurosurgeons, had to have brain surgery.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It's pretty serious stuff. And he got through it okay.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That's the tough part. Now he has to go through
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: physical therapy. Doctors will keep an eye on him. And
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he may be touring again pretty soon. Here he is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Next gen, next gen. Let's try it again.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Because of my job, which is playing rock and roll
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: music very loud, that it was giving me something like
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a concussion every time I did a show. It was
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: causing damage to my brain nerves. And I could be
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: losing more brain cells the more I played, the more
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: shows I did. And I realized that means I shouldn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be doing this right now. I got to improve. Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing about these concerts. Too loud. Way
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: too loud. I mean, if you love the artist and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you love their music and you put on their music
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: at home, you wouldn't turn it up that loud. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: who are these people that sit right in the front
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: next to the speaker? Too loud. It's too loud everywhere.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Like when there's a DJ somewhere in a restaurant or
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: in a bar. Too loud. Even when you're in a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: restaurant and they've got background music, it's always too loud. Now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that's different. That's deliberate, believe it or not. When you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: go to a restaurant, you think things are just there. No,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it's all very scientific in a restaurant. Very scientific. You know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the menu is laid out in a scientific way to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: get you to buy certain things. If they want you
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to order certain things, they put them in certain spots
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: on the menu. They know where the eye goes. They also,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: if you look at a menu, there's a list of things.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And the first one is very expensive. The first appetizer,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the first entree, the first entree is like $ 99. You go, what? No,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it's deliberate. They don't expect you to buy that. They
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: don't expect you to order that. It's to make the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: rest of them look very cheap. So then when you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: look down and you see $ 49, you go, whew, that
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: looks cheap. But if you just started, nope, just said $ 49,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it sounds high. And then the music is very carefully
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: scientifically calculated. It depends what they want you to do.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Some restaurants, they got big turnover. They want you to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: eat fast so they can get the table back. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they have actual music that's much faster. It's a much
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: faster beat. It's to increase your rhythm, get you to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: eat faster. Hey, speaking of restaurants, Carnegie Deli opens Tuesday,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I hear. Tuesday, it's going to open the brand new
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Carnegie Deli. It's been gone for 10 years, and it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: not going to be in the exact same spot it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: was because something else opened there. I think it's a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: luggage store or something, or a florist or something. Anyway,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: they're doing very well. So they couldn't get the space back,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: but they're going to move one block south of there.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And believe it or not, the place they're now in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was the location of the old Stage Delicatessen, which for
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: like 40 years was the big rival of the Carnegie Deli.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The Stage, in fact, had been the deli of New York,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the most famous deli, the biggest deli in the 50s
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and the 60s. There was an owner called Max Asness,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and he was famous. They'd introduce him on the Ed
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Sullivan show. They would have him on the Tonight Show.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He was the... Mystery guest on What's My Line. This
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: guy was the deli owner famous in America. Then in
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the mid-' 70s, two guys bought the Carnegie, Leo Steiner, Milton Parker.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Leo was like the new Max Astin. He was all
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: over television. He was funny. He was a loudmouth. He
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: was a great guy. And all of a sudden, the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Carnegie became the number one. Also, they had much better food.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, Carnegie was the deli. So
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it closed all kinds of rent problems, legal problems, building problems.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's been gone 10 years. It'll reopen on Tuesday, 7th Avenue.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: New location would be about the 54th, 53rd, where the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: old stage deli was. It'll be back. So, hey, last
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: night's convention, whatever the hell it was with Donald Trump,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the other thing is speech was way too long. Somewhere
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in there, he promised to, you know, if you reelect
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the Republicans... We'll give you $ 5, 000 in cash. Everybody will
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: get $ 5, 000 in cash. Now, of course, the fake news
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: going nuts. I'm looking at MSNBC right now. They're all
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: over this. Trump tries to bribe voters. The Drudge Report,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: which is now a left-wing thing. Drudge doesn't run anymore,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: but the people that run it now made it a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: left-wing thing. Trump tries to bribe voters. Well, it's a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Democratic tactic. You know, he's borrowed from the Democrats. They're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: always bribing voters. Remember Biden with all I'll forgive your
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: student loans. I'll let you go on the student loans,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: which is a bribe. Remember Obama, I'll give you a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: free phone. Everybody who votes for me gets a phone.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It's a bribe. So he kind of stole their idea. Now,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: how would you do that? Give out $ 5, 000? Nobody knows.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Just like the forgive the student loans. Nobody knows how
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you'd actually execute that and make it happen. But Trump
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: explains it. He said the economy will boom under Republicans.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It already has. to a certain degree, but if we're
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: reelected and we've got two more years, we'll really make
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the economy boom. And he said, you'll get a dividend.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: That's what they do in big, big companies. If they
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: have an incredible, unbelievable year, they give stockholders a dividend. So,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, logically it makes sense. Practically, I don't know
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: if it's even possible. And again, the speech too long,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: gimmicks like that don't help. But we'll see. We'll see
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: what the fallout is for it. Oil prices, let me
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: just check again. They have been spiking. Yeah, $ 100 a barrel.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: That's high, very high. Brent crude, $ 105 a barrel. That's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: very high. So the president also explained last night Iran
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: will not cave in until after the midterms. Now, once
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this stuff ends, we've been through this before, where every
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: war that closed the Strait of Hormuz happened during the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Iraq war. They closed the Strait of Hormuz. Oil goes
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to $ 110 a barrel. It gets crazy. As soon as
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it's over, not only does the gas price come down,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: it plunges. In fact, after the Iraq war, when it
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: was all over and it plunged, it went down to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: $ 40 a barrel. It got incredibly low. So you'll see
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that happen here. But the president now saying it may
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: not happen until November. now the other thing is we
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: got this fight with Canada tariff battle we put a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: tariff on them they're putting a tariff on us they
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: fought right back so President Trump now banning Canadian alcohol
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: brands and now the fake news is trying to get
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: everybody upset about this but let's be honest When you
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: go into a bar or you're ordering drinks, do you
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: really care if it's from Canada? I mean, if they
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: ban champagne, that'd be one thing. If they banned all
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the top vodkas, which are generally from Russia or someplace,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: but no Canadian alcohol, it doesn't sound too bad. It
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound too bad. They do make malt beer, sparkling wine, vermouth,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and cider. I can live without cider. I don't need
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: any vermouth. Keep your sparkling wine. Malt beer, I don't need. Now,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: there is Canadian bourbon, rum, gin, vodka, and tequila. They're banned, too.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But I don't think anybody cares. There's nobody ever in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: history that ever said to the waiter or the bartender,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: make sure it's Canadian vodka. Don't you have any Canadian vodka?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even sound good. Now, Speaker Mike Johnson, last night, Also,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: he's going to speak tonight at the convention, but he
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: talked to reporters last night, pointing out, if you're Hakeem Jeffries,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: if you're Chuck Schumer, you're going to get done in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: by these crazies. You let them take over your party. Mamdani, El-Sayed, Ocasio-Cortez.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: And you keep bowing to them, catering to them, as
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: if you'll all get along. Mike Johnson pointing out, they're
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: going to eat you alive if they... these crazies, these socialists,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: if they win a lot in the midterms, they're going
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to throw you the hell out. First thing they're going
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to do is get rid of Hakeem Jeffries as speaker.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: They're going to primary Chuck Schumer right out of the race.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: These Schumers and these cowards, the Pelosi's bowing and catering
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to these socialists, don't realize they're the first ones that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: are going to get eaten alive by these people. Hey,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Clancy, I don't talk about the case too much,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: only Because I can't figure it out. I just can't
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: figure it out. There's a lot of sympathy for her
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: out there. 11 jurors would not to convict her. Even
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in the public, there's a lot of support for her.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What am I missing? If you strangle
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: your three children to death, I don't know where you
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: get any sympathy for somebody who did that. I know
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: she went through psychological trauma and psycho whatever, but strangling
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: your kids to death, choking even your baby to death.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine doing that? So this lawyer is pretty good,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: this Kevin Reddington, the old guy with the glasses. Now,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have a great track record. He's lost a
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: lot of cases, but he's pretty much at the end
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of his career. He's 75. This is a big, strong
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: way to end his career. He looks pretty good here.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: He is on a media blitz all over the place.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: He called for President Trump to pardon her. That's not
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: going to happen. He's all over television, all over the media,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: all over radio, talking about how bad Lindsay is doing
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: right now. She's currently being held at a state-run psychiatric facility,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Tewksbury Hospital. She's crying all day and night. She's in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a very dark place, he says. He says she was
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: an incredible person, an amazing mother, except for the killing
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the kids, an amazing mother. And he said that she
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: keeps asking for her kid's I want my babies. She
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: keeps saying, I want my babies. This sounds great, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you choked him to death. You killed them. You methodically
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: killed your three children. You murdered them. You killed them.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: But the reason he's doing all this, this media blitz,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: he's trying to get a deal with the prosecutors. Prosecutors
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: have to decide if they want to retry her. Now,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: look what just happened when they tried to try her.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It backfired on them. So they might be afraid to
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: try it again. He's trying to get them to make
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: a plea deal. He wants a plea deal that involves
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: not one day in jail. That's all he's after, just
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that she not go to jail. Now, if he pulls
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: this off, well, you got to give the guy credit.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing. Anyway, we got a lot to get to.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Mamdani and his crazy grocery store scheme,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: which will never happen, by the way, because there's another
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: obstacle here. We'll get to that. We'll get to Apple,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: everything they introduced and more. We'll take some calls next.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
