FULL SHOW: UN Assembly schedule today; Paramount deal. · The Mark Simone Show

  Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Tuesday. If you haven't been outside yet, it
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: feels like autumn out there. It's chilly out there. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: fall out there. And autumn officially begins at 8 o'clock tonight.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: So you're in the final hours of the summer of 2026.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But not really, because it's already autumn out there. It's
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: going to be in the 60s all this week. UN
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: General Assembly all this week. Traffic an absolute nightmare all
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: around Manhattan. President Trump stayed at Trump Tower last night.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You know, when we give out the president's schedule, sometimes
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: we've been told, don't give locations. You know, like I said,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: he was going to a donor thing last night. He
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: was going to a gal. Don't give the locations. But
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: if you walk by Trump Tower, there's 6,000 garbage trucks
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: parked all around it. These are like barricades to keep
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: any terrorist bomber from getting near the building. So I
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: think if you walk by, I've never seen so many
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: garbage trucks lined up perfectly all around to block the building.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I think he could kind of figure he's there. The
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: president speaks at the United Nations today, early this morning.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: He will speak. He's expected to really let the UN
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: have it. They are the most useless, ridiculous organization in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the world. He's expected to explain that to him and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: actually talk about maybe redoing the U.N. into something practical,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: something useful, something that actually gets something done. So he'll
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: speak at the U.N. and hang on, let me get
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the schedule here. He's got a lot going on today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's a busy day. As they say, he spent the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: night at Trump Tower first time in his second term
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that he spent the night at Trump Tower. It's got
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to be strange for him, you know. You look at
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Trump Tower, it's a beautiful apartment building, one of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: nicest in New York. And that's where I always saw him,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: at Trump Tower. But if you think about it, he's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: lived in the White House now for the last year
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and a half. It's like a palace with military, with guards.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It's like living in a palace. And then the other
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: part of his time, he's living in Mar-a-Lago. Same thing.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's like a palace. There's military. There's Secret Service. You
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: can't go from that. Back to just a regular apartment
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: building with a doorman and a guy behind a desk.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And that's it. He got too big for his own
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: building now. So he speaks to the General Assembly this morning.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Here's the actual schedule. The president expects to speak about
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: 40 minutes, maybe an hour. He spoke an hour last time.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Then right after his speech, he's going to go into
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a private session with the heads of Denmark and the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: head of Greenland. Prime Minister of Greenland, Prime Minister of Denmark,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and that's where they'll sign that agreement giving us permanent
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: control of Greenland. This is a very important agreement militarily,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: national defense-wise. Greenland is a massive island right above the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: United States. It's always been a thing we've been very
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: concerned about, that Russia, China would use that, use Greenland
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: as a base to attack us. So we need it
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: for that reason. The other problem is If we were
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: ever attacked by Russia, by anybody with missiles, Greenland would
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: be the place where we'd need to defend them from Greenland.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So having permanent control forever and ever is a big deal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: They'll sign that in the next couple hours. And we
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: already have a base there. We'll build another base there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We'll put all our missile defense capability that we need
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to have there on the island. Then after that, the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: president has a bilateral meeting with the prime minister of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the United Kingdom, Great Britain, that's about 11.45. The UK
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: guy only gets about a half hour, because I'm looking
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: at the schedule. It's pretty tight here. Then he goes
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know who wants this job. You know, if
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: somebody said to you, here's the Prime Minister of Japan,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: shoved you in the room, said, talk to him for
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a half hour, what the hell would you talk to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: him about? What do you really want to talk to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: him about? Prime Minister of Japan. What are you asking about?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Kobe beef? Sushi? Who wants to talk to this guy?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: He then goes from that, actually about 1245, First Lady
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: will address the United Nations General Assembly about fostering our
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: future together. Ah, there you go. I don't know what
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that means, but it sounds good. And then, 115, the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: President will have a bilateral meeting with the President of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the Ukraine, that's Zelensky. Actually, you remember the first meeting
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: with Zelensky where he was just this little stooge begging
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: for help. It's kind of the other way around now.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: This guy, Zelensky, has created the best drone factories, missile factories.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: He's turning out the best drones in the world by
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the thousands. We actually may be talking to him about
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: getting weapons from him now, about him selling us some
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: drones for once. Okay, Zelensky, then he goes to a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Shield of the America event. United Nations General Assembly, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Shield of America. Well, that's... See, they come up with
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: these titles. You don't know what the hell they are.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Then from that, who wants to do this all day?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Then he goes from that meeting to a multilateral meeting
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: with the Gulf Cooperation Council.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Aha!
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I would think that's Middle Eastern heads that discuss Iran. Okay,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: he then leaves there. He's got to go to a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: party after this. It's a UN General Assembly party. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: in between, he's going back to Trump Tower. He goes
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: back to Trump Tower this afternoon, probably about 3.30 or so.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: He'll stay at Trump Tower and then depart for the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Latte Palace Hotel. That's a beautiful hotel. It used to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: be the Helmsley Palace. It's the hotel right across from St. Patrick's,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Madison Avenue, 50th. And that's where this event is tonight,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the United Nations General Assembly Leaders' Receptions. You want to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: see a party that's not that much fun? The United
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Nations General Assembly Leadership Reception. 7.15 he gets there. Oh,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: look at this. Look at this. 7.40 he leaves for
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: a meeting. Yeah, see? That's how bad this party is.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: They only put like 20 minutes for it on the schedule.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It'll run in, run out. Then he has a meeting
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: with the acting president of Venezuela. That's at 7.40. That
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: should be done about 8.30 or so. And then after that,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: he heads to the airport and leaves, goes back to Washington.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: He'll be in the White House by 11 o'clock tonight.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty busy day. It's a pretty boring day.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to sit through any of those meetings.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And by the way, because of all this moving around,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: traffic will be a nightmare, a nightmare here in New York,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: not just around the east side and the UN, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: because he's going to Trump Tower, that whole area will be,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: streets will be closed. Then he's going to the Latte Palace.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That's 50th and Madison around St. Patrick's. All those streets
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: will get closed. Going to be a real nightmare traffic-wise. Also,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: if you need a hooker, you will not be able
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to get one this week. UN General Assembly is in town.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Every hooker in New York will be tied up tonight. Literally. No,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's actually escorts, hookers, call girls online.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: whatever you call it, from all over the world have
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: come in for this. It's the biggest. It's like Super
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Bowl week for them, this UN General Assembly. Also, you'll
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: see them if you go into big, fancy stores, all
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the top jewelry stores, department stores, clothing stores. You'll see
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: all the wives and a lot of these delegates. They're
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: supposed to be in meetings and meetings. They're all at Bergdorf.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: They're all at Tiffany. They're all at Cartier spending a fortune.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: So that's the President's Day today. Yesterday, he upset a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: lot of his base by meeting with Mom Donnie. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: thought it's pretty good. This is what he does. Not
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: only does he meet with Mom Donnie, when he comes
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: out and the microphones are there, he talks about what
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a great guy he is, how wonderful he is, this
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and that. But you got to remember, that's what he does.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: He does that all the time. Everybody he meets, I've
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: watched him do this for 35 years. You go into
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a party, anybody comes over and says hello, pats the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: guy on the back, is this guy great? Is this
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: guy the best? Listen to any interview he does. It
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: could be Good Morning Phoenix. Whatever show he's on. It
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: could be a radio show in Fargo. Listen to it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: He always tells the host, you know, you're great. You're
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: really great. I love your show. It's great. What a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: great show. This guy's great. He always does that. It's
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a salesman's technique. It's very, very good. So they talked
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: about a lot of things. Is this Mamdani here commenting
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: about it?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Each time the president and I speak, it is about
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: the same topics. how to improve the lives of New Yorkers,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and how to use the power of government to take
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: on the cost of living crisis, to grow our economy,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: and to build a better, stronger New York.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And that's what Mamdani's all about, improving the lives of
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers. So he's just about, he's got a great
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: business model, this Mamdani. He looks the part for his base,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: for his base. They're all like Ivy League, you know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Spoiled brats who are overeducated, can't get a job, don't
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: actually have any skills. They were indoctrinated in these colleges
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: about how great socialism is and how capitalism stinks. And
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: so they love this guy. He just talks about socialism.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And it's a great business model. He just tells you
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: stuff that you start applauding. It's never going to happen.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Never happened. Free buses. Everybody's applauding. They can't wait to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: vote for the free buses. The guy has absolutely no
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: authority to make the buses free. The mayor of New
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: York has no control over the buses. They're run by
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the state, by the MTA. Hey, he just came out
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: today and said once again, He's going to arrest Netanyahu.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He has called for the arrest of Netanyahu. He has
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: absolutely no authority to arrest Netanyahu. First of all, Netanyahu
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: is part of the UN General Assembly. He's got full,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: total diplomatic immunity. He cannot be arrested. And Mamdani keeps
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: pointing to the, well, he was indicted by the International
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Criminal Court. There's no such thing, the International Criminal Court.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It actually exists, but it's not a real court. It's
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a great idea. See, this is part of the same thing. Mamdani,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to appeal to the base, just says stuff, and it
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: sounds great, and everybody runs out to vote for him.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: They can't run out fast enough to vote for this
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: because it sounded great. He has no authority to do it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And a bunch of these guys years ago, these left-wing kooks,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: years ago, in the 80s, they created something called the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: International Criminal Court. It's not a real court. It has
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: absolutely no authority over anything. It's just something they created,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and they call it. It sounds great. The International Criminal Court.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: And they're convicting people. They've convicted Netanyahu. But it's not
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: a real court. They have no actual authority. There's some countries,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you know, crazy left-wing dictator countries that recognize it. But
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: no normal country recognizes it. Not only do we not
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: recognize the International Criminal Court, the U.S. government is actually
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: trying to shut it down. It's just a fake organization.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We have sanctioned it so that they can't use U.S.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: currency anymore. the leader of it, by the way, had
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to leave, sexual harassment, sexual assault, that kind of stuff.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But it's not a real court. So he's claiming because
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of that, he's calling for the arrest of Netanyahu, which
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: will never, ever, ever, ever happen. But the meeting with Trump,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: very cordial. And again, Trump is very good at this stuff. Now,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: why is he so busy trying to be friends with
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie? Well, he thinks it's the right thing to do.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe he can win him over. You got to try.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: The other thing is he's a New Yorker, and no matter...
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: what level he's risen to. He still just loves New
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: York City. It's very important to him. So he wants
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to push this guy in the right direction, if he can.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: He's also a real estate developer. That's what you do
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: when you're a real estate developer. You get friendly with
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the government, with the city. The Trump organization has a
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: tremendous amount of business and real estate in New York.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: So that's the other thing. Now, Mamdani's got stuff he
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: wants to do. One is called the Sunnyside Project. It's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: out there in Queens. railroad yards. They'd have to cover
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: them over and then build on top of them. You
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: can do that. That's what Hudson Yards is. They built
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: over all those train tracks, a couple miles of train tracks.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: They built over it and built Hudson Yards. So they
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: want to do this in Sunnyside. And what this would be,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: would be like 12,000 houses, low-income housing. Now, Mamdani, not
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: being that bright, probably doesn't realize the Trump organization, before
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: all the fancy Manhattan Trump Tower type stuff, built low-income
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: housing all over Brooklyn and Queens. They're real, real, real
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: experts at it. And Mamdani, his project to build these houses,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: $ 16 billion. If you got the Trump organization to do it,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it'd be $ 1 billion. And they'd probably be better built
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and look better, but he's not smart enough to figure
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: all that out. And the other problem is this whole
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Sunnyside project, the whole neighborhood, the area, they're viciously opposed
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to it. So knowing Mamdani, it'll never happen, never actually happen,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: but he talked about it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: We've agreed to set up a new level of that
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: conversation between our housing and operations team at City Hall
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: and the White House team, because what we're speaking about
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: is 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, the prospect of an entire
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: new neighborhood in a city where housing is the number
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: one cost.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: So it sounds great. Ooh, and he has a housing
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and operations team. The housing operations team will be in
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: on it. It's a bunch of left-wing kooks, college idiots.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: who've never had a job, and Trump is playing along
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: with this.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: The mayor brought that up, the possibility of doing Sunnyside Yards.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: It's a very, I would say that was a very
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: federal-oriented job. You're going to need a lot of federal
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: approvals and probably some federal money to do it, but
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: it's always been a great location.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: I owned a building in Sunnyside.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It was a great building. I know it very well. Yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you see, when Mamdani talks, it's just pipe dreams. It's
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: just fantasies. I'm going to build 12,000. I'm going to build.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: We're going to build. It's just fantasies. When Trump talks,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: it's real. He actually has done it. He's built buildings
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: all over the place. The Trump Organization owned like 40,000
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: low-income houses, Brooklyn, Queens. I mean, he's actually done all this,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: so it's real for him.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: have to understand, I want what's good for New York.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: I want what's good for the country. So if I
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: had a choice of having him be a bad mayor
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: or a horrible.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: Mayor, I don't want that. I want him to be
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: All right. There you go. That's the right attitude. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: certainly hope he will be a great mayor. That's the
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: right attitude. We hope he'll be a great mayor. We're
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: not going to hold our breath on that. So far,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it doesn't look so good. But they had the meeting
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: at Gracie Mansion. President Trump went through Gracie Mansion with Mamdani. Now,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: this has not been revealed, but I'm sure that... As
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: they walk through Gracie Mansion, President, have you ever seen
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Gracie Mansion? It looks like a house from the 1700s.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It looks like George Washington's Mount Vernon. It's very old, stately.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sure as Trump walked through there, he said to Mamdani,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you know, you've got to fix this place up. You know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: but why don't you put some gold on these walls here?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the number of my gold guy. I'll
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: have my gold guy call you. You put gold all
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: over the walls. And, you know, you need more paintings,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: maybe 200 of them on each wall.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: So.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: So hopefully Mamdani ignores the decorating advice from President Trump. Anyway,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot to get to. It's the end
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: of summer. Eight o'clock tonight. Autumn officially begins when you
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: go outside. It's cold out. It's chilly out. We'll get
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to that. We'll get crazy Kathy Hochul and her AI scheme.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up and a whole lot
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: more just ahead. Mark Simone here three hours every day,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: nine to noon every day, here on 710WOR.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Or Mark, 710WOR.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Well, yesterday we had that big air traffic glitch that
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: started in Philadelphia. It caused a backup everywhere, hundreds and
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds, like six, seven hundred flights.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Canceled.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: It was an absolute mess.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Any information for us?
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, man, nothing works. Let's see.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Here at Philly, we lost, well, we got like.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: A bunch of thousand extra data tags on all of
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: our radars. Our weather doesn't work. Yeah, so everything went
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: out and everywhere. The radar went out, the weather went out,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the towers went out, everything went out. That's a ground stop,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: they call it. They have to cancel every flight, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: when you cancel... Everything at Philadelphia, it ripples out to
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: all these other airports. You know who's pretty good is Duffy,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Transportation Secretary Duffy. He's been very good at this job.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: An exciting day.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: This has been a year in the making for us
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: at DOT.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: And the FAA.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they're trying to fix these systems.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: This is our effort to give you a better system,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: better tools, and better efficiency.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully he gets it done because that's the problem
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: these days. I hate to tell you this, but what's
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in those air traffic control towers is equipment from like
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the 70s. It all needs to be fixed and replaced.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: But everybody happy with Duffy. You know, they always attack
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: everybody in the Trump administration, always going after Vance. They
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: go after Rubio. They go after Kash Patel. You notice
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: they never, ever, ever say a bad thing about Duffy. Now,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of reasons for that. One is when
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you're the transportation secretary, the first thing you do is
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you give every member of Congress your cell number. Republicans, Democrats,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: everybody in Congress, every major media person, you give them
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: your cell number. And that's because if they're ever trying
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to get through the airport, if they ever have a problem,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: they can call you right up and you fix it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: So that's why nobody in Congress, left or right, ever
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: attacks Duffy. That's why nobody on CNN, MSNBC, they never
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: attack Duffy. Never pick on him because they all have
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the cell number. Want to get to the airport, don't
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: want to wait in line. They call him. He has
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a guy come right over, walk them right through, right
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: onto the plane. It happens every day, all day long. Hey,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the Lindsay Clancy trial, they want to do back in
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: court soon. She has to come back into court, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: then they have to have another hearing. Now, they've got
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: to decide what to do. She wasn't acquitted. It was
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: a mistrial, which means you're supposed to try her again.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Now, the.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: lawyer for Lindsay Clancy, the old guy with the glasses.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: He's very, very busy all over television trying to convince
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: them there's no hope of convicting her. Why embarrass yourself again?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Don't try her again. Trying to get the prosecutors to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: agree to just make some sort of plea deal. The
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: deal he wants is that she doesn't go to prison.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: She goes to some mental health facility instead. So he's
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: all over television trying to discourage them from trying her again.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and try to encourage them to take a plea deal. Now,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the problem is this particular prosecutor's office almost never makes
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a plea deal. So it's very tough. But this lawyer
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: is pretty good. He's like an old guy with the glasses.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: He looks very sincere. His track record, not so great
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: as an attorney. He's lost a lot of cases. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: he's old. He's in his late 70s. So this is
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a good note to go out on. Because he looked
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: pretty good in this case. But he's trying to convince
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: everybody there's no hope. ever again of convicting her.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: But the problem is, as I said from the very beginning,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: is that these jurors reached out to the judge for help,
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: not once but twice, stating clearly and unequivocally that there
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: was doubt, and then there was reasonable doubt, but he
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: refused to apply the law, and that's just not right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: Lindsay was entitled to that verdict, but she was denied
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: that verdict.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see. She's got to go
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: back in court, and we'll see. If you're a left-wing Democrat,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: cover your ears for a moment, please. Price of oil
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: dropping again, down another $ 3 a barrel today. 92 right now,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: $ 92 a barrel. Price dropping fast over the last week. Remember,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: it was like 107 just a week ago. It spiked up.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It really spiked up into the hundreds. But that was brief,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: just a few days. Now it's back down in the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: 90s and dropping and dropping. Stock market doing very, very,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: very well. Yeah, up, up. Okay, if you're a Democrat,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you're going to uncover your ears now. Autumn begins tonight,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: 8 o'clock. It's going to be cold all week in
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the 60s. That's not really cold. Mid-60s is pretty nice,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: but after the whole summer, it seems very, very, very cold. So, hey, Hochul,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, our governor, You know, the Democrats, they always,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Republicans usually campaign with something, some sort of a promise.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll cut your taxes, we'll close the border.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: They promise you stuff. And then when Democrats campaign, they usually,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: they have to convince you you're all going to die
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: if you don't vote for them. There's something that's going
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: to kill you at any moment. It was climate change
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: was going to kill you. Now it's AI is going
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to kill you. This is how they campaign. You're going
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to be totally wiped out if you don't vote for us.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: They always have to have some huge boogeyman that's going
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: to just wipe you out and kill you uh and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the climate change is not working anymore for them every
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: test they run focus group uh survey climate change doesn't
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: work people aren't buying it anymore they've been telling you
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: for 30 years this is going to happen that's going
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to happen nothing they tell you ever happened there's this
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: clip all over the internet now bernie sanders six years
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: ago in that presidential debate saying uh The scientists say
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: we only have six years left. If we don't do it,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: within six years, we'll all be wiped out. Well, it's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: six years later. Nothing changed. Everything's fine. So that's not
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: working anymore. So AI is the new thing that's going
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: to kill you. And they got these four. It's a
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: cartel that runs AI, four companies, this little cartel, all
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: very close to Barack Obama, who's been the chess master
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: orchestrating this. So they all came out with these examples
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: of how AI is escaping and it's going to wipe
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: us all out. people within the companies now coming forward
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and said, these weren't the cases where AI escaped. They
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: were cases where they deliberately didn't draw it right. Uh,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: now the head of NVIDIA, one of the most respected
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: brains in America, CEO Jensen Wang said, there is a 0%
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: chance AI will end the world by 2030, a 0% chance.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: He says, don't worry about it. But what these politicians
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: are doing, especially the locals, uh, Newsom started it in California.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: He is passing strict AI laws. That's it. Nobody knows
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: what they are. Nobody knows what these laws would actually do,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: but it sounds good. Kathy Hochul doing the same thing
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: right now. She's passing strict AI laws as if Kathy
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Hochul could even figure out how to reset her phone.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: She's going to run AI for you.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: In November, we'll direct frontier AI developers to register with
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: the state. Then in January, those AI companies will be
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: mandated by law, the effective date of the law is January,
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: to comply with strict transparency standards. They'll be required to
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: publish their safety protocols and report any critical safety incidences
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: within 72 hours.
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: Whoa.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, that sounds comprehensive. Then you think about
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: what does that mean? You've got to publish your safety protocols.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: You know when you go to get your new iPhone
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: or you want to... Log in the first time. You
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: have to sign an agreement. And the agreement is 72,000
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: paragraphs that nobody's ever read. That's what the safety protocols are.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: It's a million thousand billion paragraphs. Nobody's going to read this.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Then at the end, you just click agree. Even if
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: you were serving life in prison, you wouldn't have time
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: to read this whole agreement. Anyway, we have a lot
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: to get to. We'll take some calls coming up. Don't
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: go away. Mark Simone here. Nine to noon every day.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: 710 WOR.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: You know, the San Gennaro Festival, San Gennaro Feast is
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: on right now. 100th anniversary. Now, Little Italy has been
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: shrinking through the years. Little Italy used to be 30 blocks.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: It's five blocks now. It's been shrinking for a few reasons. One,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Chinatown's been creeping in, taking over blocks. And then developers
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: have been buying up blocks and building all sorts of
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: modern office apartment buildings, all sorts of stuff. And then
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: prices have been going up, astronomical rents. So a lot
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: of those multi-generational businesses have left. But it's still there,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: and it's the 100th anniversary of the Feast of San Gennaro.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: And there's new generations coming in. You know, there's all
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the old Little Italy places that you all know. But
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of new young hotshot little places coming
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: in there. So it's on the San Gennaro Festival. Speaking
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: of eating, J.B. Pritzker, the problem is he's losing a
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: lot of weight. This is a problem because it's always
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: been great to eat. call him a fat slob, Ralph
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Cramden-looking governor. But Pritzker, now they always say you can
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: tell when a guy's running for president because he'll start
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: losing weight. The old veterans always taught us that, the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Bob Novaks and the Evans and Novak, and they would
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: always say, watch, if he starts losing weight, if he
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: starts buying better clothes, it means he's running for president.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: So Pritzker has lost 80 pounds all of a sudden. Now,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: he's a big, fat Ralph Cramden-looking guy, but he's slimming down,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: 80 pounds so far, on the GLP-1 shots. So that's
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: caused all kinds of talk about 2028. He said, when
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: asked about it, he said, well, I've been driven to
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: lose weight my whole life. It's been something I've wanted
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to do my whole life. Well, all of a sudden,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you didn't do it until now, so that's why it's
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: a little suspicious. Once the GLP-1 drugs became available, well,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: that changed everything, and I started using it. But again,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of people lose weight. Remember Chris Christie, who
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: was the other big fat slob running for president, all
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: of a sudden got that lap band surgery. And by
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the way, I think he's entitled to a refund on
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that surgery. Does he look any thinner? Did he ever
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: look any thinner? But Pritzker losing weight. Hey, by the way,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: those GLP-1 drugs, drugs, there's a new study out that
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: shows they may cause eye problems, serious eye damage that
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: would be irreversible. I mean, listen, there's always a study
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: coming out that says one thing or another, but I'm
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: just warning you that came out. Nobody's really seen the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: full side effects. Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the number.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Morning, Mark.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Hello, Kathy. How you doing?
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: You know, last week or whenever it was, when that
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: 9-11 widow mentioned the Saudi stuff, which kind of surprised everybody.
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: I mean, the whole monologue she did. I guess my
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: algorithm was listening to me because into my algorithm, a
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: documentary called The Fifth Plane. Am I like the only
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: person who knew about this or didn't know about this rather?
• 28:40
  Speaker 11: About the JFK plane. It was a very good documentary.
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: It's not brand new.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the problem with documentaries is half of them are
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: totally fake and false and not true. But because they're documentaries,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: they look like some sort of news program.
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: They had a lot of real people on there.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: You can always find real people to do that. That
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's true.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Look at the JFK assassination.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: There's a million documentaries, including the Oliver Stone movie. that
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: are total fiction.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: My question is, have you seen, have you heard about
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: the fifth plane controversy that there were Saudi people on it?
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: And because they sat down.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: And it turned out, it turned out not to be true.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: Now listen, it looked pretty real to me.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Listen to me. Some people want to believe this stuff.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Like with the JFK assassination, you don't want to believe
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: there were people in the grass. You know, they just
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: want to believe it. You can't argue them. It's emotional.
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: But it's not, it's not, it's all we know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: All we knew.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: Everybody was going to bomb us, so why would that
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: fifth not be?
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: If you want to believe there was a fifth plane,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: you believe there was a fifth plane. Hey, late at night,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: we got a flying saucer show on. You ought to
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: listen to that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: No, stop.
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: I'm a very sensible girl.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: No, seriously. They tell you all about the UFOs that
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: have been landing here left and right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: Don't you speak to it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: You had heard of it, and you have discarded it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: There's no getting through to you on this. It's not
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: you personally. It's just anybody who loves these conspiracy theories.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: You can't talk them out of it. You remember the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Rosie O'Donnell that the World Trade Center was exploded, that
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: fire can't melt steel? Remember that one?
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: Oh, no, no.
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: I'm not going there.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: How do you think they make steel?
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying that that.
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: The widow that was talking about the Saudis, I didn't realize.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: You can keep believing it. Enjoy yourself. Knock yourself out.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: There's a fifth plane. You believe that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: I trust your opinion. I wasn't not believing it or not.
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: I just couldn't believe I'd never heard of it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: What's the temperature down there in North Carolina?
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: You know, it's been in the 90s.
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: So it's pretty hot.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh.
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: But today it finally cooled off a little bit. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: we always have the exact same weather you guys have.
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: It's cooled off there, right? I don't know what it is.
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: We have the exact same weather.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: And what's the deal, North Carolina? There's no income tax?
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: There is income tax.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Why did you move to North Carolina?
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: It's very expensive here. Why move there.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: If you're in New York or New Jersey? Why move
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: to North Carolina?
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: It wasn't financial for me.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: personal, but I miss you guys so much, and especially
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: want to hear about Little Italy.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 31:22
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for calling, Kathy. You see, that's the thing.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to move to Florida. I'm going to move
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: to South Carolina. I'm going to move to North Carolina.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to move to Nashville. It sounds great, but
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: then all you do is you read the New York
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Post every day, and you listen to the New York radio,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: and you just miss everything here. You miss everything here.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Some of these states, Florida, there's no income tax, no
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: state income tax. That's what they got to do to
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: get people there. That's why people are there. You know
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a state is really good when they can charge a
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: ton of income tax and people still live there. I mean,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like a restaurant. You have given away
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: the food for free. Of course you're going to have
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: everybody coming. But if you can charge a fortune and
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: people still come, then you know you're doing well. A
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Paramount merger, they have cleared the way for it. We'll
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: get to this coming up. So Paramount is going to
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: take over Warner Brothers Discovery, and it would be a
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: huge entertainment conglomerate. There were all these states that were
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: suing to block it. They've settled, but it's an intricate settlement. Anyway,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: we'll get to all of that coming up. We've got
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: a lot to talk about in the next two hours.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Don't forget, I'm here three hours every day, nine to noon,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: nine to noon every day. Then at noon, you've got
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Buck Saxton and Clay Travis. We actually have the biggest,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: most listened to talk radio shows all on this station,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: and Buck Sexton, Clay Travis, 10 million listeners. Sean Hannity
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: at 3, the most listened to radio show in America.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Then you've got Jesse Kelly at 6. You've got Jimmy Fela.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: What a funny show every night. Jimmy Fela every night,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: 9 to midnight. It's all here on 710WOR.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Marks them all, Mr.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Now three hours.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Well, uh, it's a UN general assembly week. It's a
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: gridlock everywhere. Today's going to be the worst of it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: The president, uh, president Trump speaking at the UN this
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: morning and then, uh, uh, moving around the city. He'll
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: be going back to a Trump tower. Uh, he'll be
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: going to, uh, uh, the palace hotel 50th and Madison.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: So expect a lot of road closures, street closures, total
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: gridlock around those areas. It's going all day today. Now
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the president leaves tonight, uh, At 8.30, 9 o'clock, he'll
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: leave New York. So that'll ease it up a little.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: But it's still going to be a mess all week.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: President will speak today. Melania speaks at the U.N. later today.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu comes in on Thursday. This U.N. stuff goes on
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: all week long. Total gridlock in Manhattan. Just awful. It's
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the first, well, it's the final few hours of summer. Autumn,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: fall begins 8 o'clock tonight. Hey, we've got two more
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: hours to go. We'll get to the president, the press,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the band. We'll get to all of that and more.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Coming up, 710WOR. Mark Simone.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, three hours every day, 9 to noon. If you
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: just joined us, well, you missed the first hour. It's
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: 9 to noon every day now. We'll get to the
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Carnegie Deli coming up. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: We'll get to voter fraud. They've uncovered some more of it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump, the ban on the press,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: all of that. Not going so well right now. Hey,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Paramount wants to buy Warner Brothers Discovery. They want to
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: merge it all together. There's been a lot of opposition.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: It's a multi-billion dollar deal. And the last thing holding
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: it up, was a bunch of states all got together
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: to sue to block it. It was a massive lawsuit
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: by a group of states. Well, David Ellison, who is
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: the one orchestrating this, he's the son of Larry Ellison,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: they have settled with all these states. They've settled the lawsuit.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: That was the last real hurdle blocking Paramount from buying
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Discovery. So it's going to go through. They're
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: going to buy Warner Brothers Discovery. It'll be this huge, enormous...
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: media conglomerate and uh it's not gonna if this were
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: years ago it'd be quite a monopoly it's not going
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: to be that way anymore because uh network tv has
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: very few viewers now cable tv doesn't have that many
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: viewers now so you can combine these companies and it
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't really do that much and as far as the
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: streaming services combining those uh it doesn't really mean that
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: much anymore because you could combine hbo and you can
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: combine uh paramount and there's still 25 other major streaming
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: companies but they had to make a lot of concessions
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: to get this deal done they've agreed to establish a
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: board to ensure the editorial independence of cnn and cbs
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: news all right they'll establish a board that means they'll
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: uh put some politicians on it and pay them a
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: big salary to be on the board and everybody will
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: be happy they're also uh committing to an ascension This
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: is part of the settlement. They have to commit to
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: distribute 30 movies every year in theaters. You know, worried
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: the movie theaters are dying and that everybody would rather
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: watch at home streaming. And so they're committing to 30
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: movies a year. You know, that's almost two or three
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: movies a month they have to put into theaters. So
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: that's quite a commitment. And I don't know why politicians
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: would fight to keep the movie theaters. Well, I do
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: know there's probably a lot of big movie theater companies
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: paying these politicians to make sure that that's in the agreement.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: The company also agreed to spend an additional $ 1. 5 billion
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: on film production over the next five years and guaranteed
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: to increase the share of those movies that are made
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: in America. Well, you're going to see a lot more
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: movies made in America. You know, they make them in Canada,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: they make them in other places because it's a lot
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: cheaper to make them there. And it avoids union costs,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff. You're going to see a lot
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: of that problem go away because of AI. Now, while
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: all the left-wing Democrats are fighting to stop AI, block AI,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: get rid of AI, Hollywood desperately wants AI. Hollywood thinks
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: AI is the key to their future because it will
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: save them a fortune. With AI, you don't have to
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: build sets anymore. You could just AI the set in there.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: So if you're doing a movie about the President of
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the United States, you'd have to build an Oval Office set.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: You'd have to build all the... Well, not if you
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: have AI. You just do it in front of a
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: green screen and AI everything in. It saves a fortune,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: this AI. Let's say you're doing a war movie. You
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: need to have a battle scene, 500 soldiers on a battlefield.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: It The way it was, you'd have to get 500 extras,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: manufacture 500 uniforms. You'd have to rent millions of trucks
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: and all sorts of trailers and go out somewhere and
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: find a battlefield. It cost a fortune to film that. Now,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you can do it through AI. You can have your
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: three actors right in the studio in front of a
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: green screen, and you AI in all the soldiers in
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: the battlefield. It saves a fortune. So Hollywood desperately wants
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: AI everywhere. very important for them. You know, um, uh,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: a few years ago, it was 15, 20 years ago. They,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: they had these big video screens. So on a TV set,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: when you're on television, there's a big video wall behind you.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: It's an enormous screen. The whole wall behind you is
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: a video screen and they project whatever they want on there.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: So if you're doing a morning Joe on MS now, uh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: all behind him. It's got Morning Joe logos, Morning Joe this,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Morning Joe that. And then he goes off the air.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: And then the next show comes on. Stephanie Rule comes on.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: And it looks like they're in a different studio with
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: a whole different set. It's not. They just changed the
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: video on the screen behind him. All of a sudden,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: it's got Stephanie Rule stuff all over it. Saves a fortune.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: In the old days, you used to have different studios or.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: The crew would have to have a big crew come
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: in and move the set out, move the new set.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: You don't have to do that anymore. You know, the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Grammy Awards used to be a nightmare because the Grammy
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Awards was like 30 musical groups in a row. Each
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: had their own set. And yeah, as soon as the
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: band finished, they had to move all the scenery around
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: and move another scenery in and move. They don't do that.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: It's all video screens. Much, much, much easier nowadays. So
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: it looks like the merger will go through. How will
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: this affect CNN? CBS, well, they'll probably try to clean
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: CNN up a little. It's very left-wing biased, slanted. But
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: the real problem is it has a tiny audience. Nobody's
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: watching it. It's the bottom cable channel, lowest rated, has
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: just a few hundred thousand viewers. So if you're Paramount
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: buying Warner Brothers Discovery, you're going to want to fix
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: that up. You're going to want to tune it into something.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: It's kind of useless to have it be a third-place...
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: broken down news channel with very few viewers. So imagine
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: they'll try to tune that up and make it into something.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: We'll see. Kathy Hochul, we mentioned that she's trying to,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: she's going to have AI controls. She's doing the same
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: thing Gavin Newsom's doing in California. They're talking about very
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: important to have states regulate AI as if they know
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: how to regulate AI, as if they even know what
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: it is. And she's talking about they may, if they're,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: They might, they just might have to have a kill switch.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Newsome said the same thing too. We might have to
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: put in a kill switch. What the hell is a
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: kill switch? They actually think there's a button somewhere. I'll
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: push the button. It'll turn off all the AI. It
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: doesn't work that way. You can't, there's no such thing.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Even if there was such a thing, the AI itself
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: is not bad. It's whoever's programming the AI. It's the evil,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: somebody in Russia, somebody in China. somebody somewhere programming it
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: to do something evil. But, the problem is, as people
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: have pointed out, with the kill switch, the AI, if
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: some evil programmer programmed it, could program it to, if
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: it is hit with the kill switch, to do something
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: awful before it shuts off. You could program it to
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: do that. In other words, if it hits the kill,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: the kill switch is hit, the default will be to
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: wipe out every, something like that. So, The problem is
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Hochul and these Albany legislators, they don't know the first
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: thing about any of this. They have no idea how
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: it works. Hey, the president banned MSNOW, CNN, who else?
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Politico from the White House. Now, total combined, that's like
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: 12 viewers, these three things. But the problem is, first
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: of all, everybody says it could backfire because if you
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: do this, Well, then the Democrats come in and they
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: ban the conservative news. Yeah, that's very possible. But it's
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: already been tried. Remember, Biden took away the press credentials
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: from 440 reporters, just took them away. Obama tried to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: ban Fox News. In fact, there's a funny video going
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: all over the internet. Apparently, Obama does not understand how
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: the internet works because he's speaking on This week, and
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: he's joking, can you imagine if I tried to, can
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: you imagine what would have happened if I tried to
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: ban Fox News? Could you imagine? Well, he did. So
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: this video of him saying this is online, cut together
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: with the video from during his administration when he talked
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: about doing it. And it's interesting, George Stephanopoulos and David Axelrod,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: all these people pushing for the ban of Fox News.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: So they did try to do it. It didn't last long.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: It didn't work. And again, this Trump media ban, it's
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: kind of silly. I don't think this is going to work. Now,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: he's got a point. If you're not really now, these
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: networks are going to go to court. He could go
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: into court and prove his case. It would not be hard.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: You could bring in hundreds of examples of totally fake
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: stories they broadcast and put them under oath on the
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: court record. You could also bring in dozens of major
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: stories they refused to report because they were too positive.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: So you could do that kind of stuff. It's not
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: really a First Amendment issue because these networks are free
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: to speak as much as they want, whenever, wherever they want.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Just because you have your First Amendment rights doesn't mean
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: he has to let them into his office. They can
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: speak all they want. He didn't try to take away
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: their ability to speak, which, by the way, they did
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: to him. Remember, they canceled and canceled him. They took
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: him off Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. At the time,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: he was a private citizen. They completely cut him off
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: from social media, took his platforms away. So president not
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: shutting down CNN or MSNOW or Politico. He's just not
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: letting them in his building. They can still do whatever
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: they want. But it's funny, their response, pretty good. They
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: all banded together. And even Fox and everybody else joined
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: in and said, as long as this ban's in effect,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: we're not going to cover the White House. We're not
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: going to cover you. And the ban lasted about 12 seconds.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: The president had the unveiling of his new helipad. And
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: because the press pool wasn't there, you couldn't hear what
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: he was saying. There were no microphones there to hear him.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: You could see him, but you couldn't hear him. But
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: then he goes to meet Mamdani, and they're all there.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: All the media is there to cover him. And he
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: thought it was kind of funny. They claimed they were
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: banning him, but there they were.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: They said they were going to boycott me, but they
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: never boycott me.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: So I wasn't very worried about that. Look at all
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: that press. But no, I'm not.
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: I'm only doing it because I think the press also
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: has an obligation. And, you know, I won in a landslide.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: I won the election in a landslide. I've done great things.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: I've done a lot of great things. I've settled eight wars.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: We have the best economic numbers for the country in
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: the history of our country. We have $ 21 trillion pouring in.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: The biggest number ever, any country, was three. Nobody's ever
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: done what we've done. I never get anything positive.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: It's always negative. Yeah, on some networks. That report came
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: out last week. Highest income, average income in America ever
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: in history now. And the lowest poverty rate ever right
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: now under Trump. Story didn't get reported. You know, that
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Greenland deal was pretty amazing. That deal was signed, was
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: it Friday? The Greenland deal was secured. We have total control.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: It was a big thing. ABC, Evening News, David Muir.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: didn't report the story, didn't even mention it. So he's
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: got a point there. But on the other hand, now
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: he does have quite an ego, and he likes having
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: the press around if they don't show up. If they're
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: not there in the hall, if they're not there in
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: the white, it's going to get to him after a while.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: But he decided that in the meantime, Trump TV will
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: cover everything. He's got his own TV channel. It's online.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: It's on YouTube. It's streaming everywhere. Didn't get a lot
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: of viewers yesterday. I think it was like 30,000 or something, 10,000.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a lot. But then most people don't watch
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: CNN or MSNOW either. Very few people watch it. Very,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: very low ratings. Hey, let's get to the Carnegie Deli. Now,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: we talked about it a lot in the last couple
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: of weeks. And I went to the big opening a
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: week ago. Was it a week ago or two weeks ago?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Big opening. And if you look at my Instagram, there's
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: pictures of the new Carnegie Deli. Been talking about it
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: all the time. Believe it or not, in all of
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: this going there, I went to meet with the new
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: owners and it's the daughter and granddaughter of the original owner.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: But in all of this, I never ate there. I
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: never ate anything. One time they gave me a bunch
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: of food, but I brought it back here and everybody else,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't. So yesterday I finally ate there. It's because
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Sunday night I was with two people, two friends of
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: mine who had eaten there that day They said it
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: was unbelievable. The food was so good. The pastrami, everything
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: was so great. But this was Sunday night, and they said,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: my stomach is like lead. They couldn't eat. So yesterday,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: so I ate there. The pastrami on rye, the classic
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Carnegie order, pastrami, rye, mustard, what they would secretly call
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: the pistol. That was the code name for it. It
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: was delicious. The corned beef is great as ever, as
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: flavorful as ever. The corned beef is great as ever. Oh,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: excuse me, pastrami, not corned beef. Pastrami. The pastrami is
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: great as ever. Phenomenal pastrami on rye. And the cheesecake.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: They feel the strawberry cheesecake is the best one. The
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: cheesecake was amazing. Maybe the best cheesecake I've ever eaten. Phenomenal. However,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: now about three, four hours later, it started hitting me too.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: My stomach, it's still like lead. I think I ate
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: this about 3.30, 4 o'clock. I think it's the last
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: time I ate. I didn't eat after that. Stomach is
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: just like lead. So pace yourself. And by the way,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't eat the whole sandwich. You know, when they
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: give you the sandwich, it's like a foot high. I
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: took out 99% of that pastrami and whittled it down
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: to a normal-sized sandwich.
• 49:19
  Speaker 15: But.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: even with that, I can still feel it. My whole
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: stomach just feels like a lead right now. So the
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: food is great. It's better than ever. Just be careful.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Pace yourself. Go slow. And next time, of course, the
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: pastrami they're famous for. The corned beef. They do have
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: a turkey sandwich. They do have a roast beef sandwich.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: They do have a Reuben, which is probably a little
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: easier to take. The cheesecake, phenomenal. The new Carnegie Deli. Hey,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. Give
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: me a call. Especially new callers. We always like new callers.
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: 800-321-0710.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Live from the WOR Life Fact Studios, the Mark Simone Show. Hey,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Linda in Long Island. Linda,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: Not that great.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark.
• 50:16
  Speaker 16: I got a little cold. I don't sound like me.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: What?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: You don't always sound like this.
• 50:22
  Speaker 15: No.
• 50:23
  Speaker 16: I mean, I can't believe it got cold and I
• 50:26
  Speaker 16: got a.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Cold, right?
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Are you all right? Oh, my God. You got a cold.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: What are we going to do?
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: That's right.
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: Who knows now, right?
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: It's just a cold. It'll go away.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: One day.
• 50:37
  Speaker 16: Okay, it's going to warm up, I heard. All right,
• 50:40
  Speaker 16: so I'm shocked. They're starting this again. Somebody, an honest
• 50:44
  Speaker 16: Democrat or Republican, should do something about this. I never
• 50:47
  Speaker 16: got this before. Well, I didn't get it. Kathy Hochul,
• 50:53
  Speaker 16: and it says Acting Commissioner Christian Jackstack. It's sending out
• 50:59
  Speaker 16: now again to people.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, you got to tell us what you're talking about.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Just get to the point.
• 51:07
  Speaker 16: I got a notice to renew state ID.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: What's the point?
• 51:13
  Speaker 16: State ID from Kathy Hochul.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 51:18
  Speaker 16: Now, she died 10 years ago.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 51:21
  Speaker 16: Department of Motor Vehicles.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Who died?
• 51:24
  Speaker 16: To renew it.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: All right. Listen, I hope you get better. Good luck
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: with your cold. I can't figure out what the hell
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: you're talking about, but good luck with the cold. Let's
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: Mark, you talk about all these hookers descending on the U.N.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: And New York.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: You know where the term hooker came from, Mark?
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: No.
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: It came from the Civil War. The North was basically
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: losing the war for the first three years. Lincoln was
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: firing general after general after general until he finally settled
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: on Grant. There was a general named Hooker? Yes, there
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: was a very handsome general named Joseph Hooker from Massachusetts,
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: and Lincoln put him in charge in 1862, and he
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: was a disaster. But all the women would follow the
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: Union Army around just to get a look at General
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: Joseph Hooker because he was so handsome, and that's where
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: the term came from. Hooker is a bunch of groupies
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: following around the Union Army.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: But did he use them as prostitutes? Did he do that?
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: No, they just followed the army around because they wanted
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: to get a glimpse of Joseph Hooker from Boston. You
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: can Google him later.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: All right, I've got to take a look at this guy,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Joseph Hooker. Let's go to JJ in New Jersey. JJ,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: Good, Mark.
• 52:35
  Speaker 10: Thanks for taking my call. How are you today?
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Let me check. Not bad, not bad. Good to hear.
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: I just finished reading the book about Roy Cohn.
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: I was wondering if you knew him.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: Because obviously they were very disparaging, I guess, with regards
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: to Donald Trump.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they make up this whole fake relationship that Cohen
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: was Trump's mentor. Not the case at all. Everybody knew
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Roy Cohen. He was kind of a weasel of a guy.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: He could be fun to be around, but vicious, vicious,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: vicious guy, which made him a great lawyer. He was
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: probably the two greatest lawyers ever, Roy Cohen. And what's
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: his name? William Bennett Smith. But Roy Cohn, he was
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: a vicious guy. But he was one of Trump's lawyers.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Trump had 50 lawyers. Roy Cohn was one of them.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: He was not a mentor to Trump. By the way,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: at the time, Roy Cohn was the lawyer. He was
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: the lawyer for the Cardinal. He was the lawyer for
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: the Catholic Church. He was the lawyer for the New
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: York Yankees. He was Aristotle Onassis' lawyer. Everybody had Roy
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Cohn as his lawyer.
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: Right, they even mention the mafia use in certain situations.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Well, he did a lot of criminal stuff. If you're
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: a criminal lawyer, you're going to have mob guys coming
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: to you, but he was great. Edward Bennett Williams is
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: who I was trying to think of. Roy Cohn, Edward
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Bennett Williams, two greatest lawyers. Edward Bennett Williams, a classy
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: genius of a lawyer. Roy Cohn, a dirty alley cat
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: street fighter, but he would get the job done. But
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: not the mentor of Trump, as they make it out
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: to be. Let's go to Tom in Queens. Tom, how
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, good morning.
• 54:13
  Speaker 12: Uh, just one fun fact that, uh, since Trump renamed
• 54:17
  Speaker 12: the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, we have
• 54:20
  Speaker 12: not had one named hurricane at all.
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: Huh?
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Now don't say that. You're going to jinx it. You're
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: going to jinx it. But that's a, that's an interesting point.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Fran Massapequa. Fran, how you doing?
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Tell you what, say it again. You're breaking up.
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: You know, she's not, She's not only ugly, but she's stupid.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Who?
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Who? To be an ugly woman.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Who are we talking about?
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: What?
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Who are you talking about?
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: I said Hochul.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It's not your fault. Your phone is cracking
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 55:01
  Speaker 14: Hochul.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Stupid. Yeah. Ugly. She's not ugly. I mean, she's not
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: going to win any beauty contests, but she's that kind
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: of average looking. She's not ugly.
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: Stupid.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Stupid. Yeah, she's not the brightest woman in the world.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: She's not stupid, but she's just a cheap politician. You know,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: whatever way the wind is blowing, you know, she hates
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Trump because everybody hates Trump. If everybody loved Trump, she'd
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: love Trump. It's just whatever way the wind is blowing.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: You can thank Andrew Cuomo, by the way, another one
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: of his decisions. He's the guy that gave us Kathy Hochul.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: He's the guy that picked her for lieutenant governor. Hey,
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: when we come back, the brilliant columnist Liz Peek, we'll
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: talk to her next. Lots to talk about with her.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR.
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: More Mark.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
• 55:46
  Speaker 11: Mr.
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: New York.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon.
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: On 710WOR.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peek, the brilliant columnist. You can read her
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: columns at thehill.com, foxnews.com. But you can also go to
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: everything at lizpeek.com, her own website. Go to lizpeek.com. Liz Peek,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 56:11
  Speaker 17: I am well, although why I'm in New York City
• 56:14
  Speaker 17: during UN week, I have no idea, Mark.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Well, it's fun. It's fun. What do they actually do
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: at the UN? Have they ever actually accomplished anything in
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: that organization anywhere?
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's interesting.
• 56:28
  Speaker 17: I have a piece up on the Fox News homepage
• 56:31
  Speaker 17: today about just that, which is kind of reflections on
• 56:36
  Speaker 17: what Mike Walsh and Donald Trump are trying to do
• 56:39
  Speaker 17: at the UN, which And I think it's one of
• 56:41
  Speaker 17: the initiatives by the Trump White House that has really
• 56:44
  Speaker 17: gotten very little play, but actually is very significant. You know,
• 56:49
  Speaker 17: most people in America do not have a very high
• 56:52
  Speaker 17: regard for the UN's ability to promote.
• 56:55
  Speaker 10: Peace, which is, after all, their core mission.
• 56:58
  Speaker 17: But in addition, I think there's widespread feeling that the
• 57:03
  Speaker 17: organization has lost its way. Typical globalist organization that has
• 57:09
  Speaker 17: mission creep. It's spending much more time on climate change
• 57:13
  Speaker 17: and gender inequality than it is on actually conflict resolution.
• 57:18
  Speaker 12: But it is, again, that.
• 57:19
  Speaker 17: The Trump White House is sort of tackling this. And
• 57:22
  Speaker 17: Mike Walz, our ambassador to the U.N., is a very
• 57:25
  Speaker 17: straight shooter. has kind of browbeaten the organization, which, by
• 57:31
  Speaker 17: the way, has a cash flow deficit. I mean, the
• 57:34
  Speaker 17: finances of the United Nations are awful. And Walsh is
• 57:40
  Speaker 17: making them cut costs, get rid of lots of agencies.
• 57:43
  Speaker 17: The United States is withdrawing its contribution funds. to lots
• 57:47
  Speaker 17: of agencies. So, you know, you hear that the budget
• 57:51
  Speaker 17: of the UN is $ 4 billion. The UN spends about
• 57:53
  Speaker 17: $ 70 billion every year. It's just out of control. Well,
• 57:58
  Speaker 17: its peacekeeping operations are extremely expensive. That $ 4 billion is
• 58:04
  Speaker 17: is basically keeping the lights on, at least all last year.
• 58:08
  Speaker 17: They don't even do that very effectively. If you remember
• 58:11
  Speaker 17: last year when President Trump went to the United Nations
• 58:13
  Speaker 17: to speak, the escalator broke down, the teleprompter didn't work.
• 58:18
  Speaker 17: He was really riled about all of that, thinking it
• 58:21
  Speaker 17: was sort of sabotage for all, and I know it
• 58:24
  Speaker 17: probably was. But it's a mess. It's a mess of
• 58:26
  Speaker 17: an organization. And yet, Mike Walsh, our ambassador... you know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 17: he does not want to throw the baby out with
• 58:34
  Speaker 17: the bathwater. He argues, and I think rightly, that it's
• 58:38
  Speaker 17: the only place in the world where 168 nations can
• 58:43
  Speaker 17: come together and hear each other speak, et cetera. So,
• 58:47
  Speaker 17: you know, there's probably some value in that, but man,
• 58:49
  Speaker 17: does it need reigning in?
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. President Trump's basically a, And telling
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: them off today in his speech, does it mean anything?
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Do they really listen?
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 59:02
  Speaker 17: I was just watching a bit of it. He was
• 59:04
  Speaker 17: calling out Iran and asking the nations of the world
• 59:07
  Speaker 17: to unite against a nuclear Iran. You know, will it
• 59:12
  Speaker 17: make any difference?
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 59:14
  Speaker 17: I think much more than the public speeches, much more
• 59:20
  Speaker 17: important are the side meetings that go on. Trump is
• 59:24
  Speaker 17: going to meet with Delce Rodriguez, the acting head of Venezuela.
• 59:29
  Speaker 17: I think that's an important one-to-one. He's going to meet
• 59:32
  Speaker 17: with the head of the UK. That's probably a pretty
• 59:35
  Speaker 17: important relationship to get off the ground. Frankly, I think
• 59:40
  Speaker 17: the world's kind of looking at this whole Ukraine-Russia war
• 59:46
  Speaker 17: and hoping that there might be progress there.
• 59:48
  Speaker 16: Why might that happen?
• 59:50
  Speaker 17: Well, number one, the United States is going to browbeat
• 59:54
  Speaker 17: both countries to to declare a peace amongst their energy facilities.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 10: As you know.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 17: Last week, Ukraine attacked a Moscow refinery and really did
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 17: some damage, which is one of the reasons that diesel
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 17: prices continue to go up. Russia is a major producer
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 17: of diesel. But to me, Mark, what has gotten much
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 17: less played than it should is the fact that Ukraine
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 17: itself manufactured a 40-foot-long missile that can go 2,000 miles
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 17: longer than our Patriot missiles, had enormous impact. And by
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 17: the way, they're making them faster and cheaper, of course,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 17: than our arms industry. So I thought that was a
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 17: pretty darn significant event. And I have to say, I'm
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 17: kind of shocked that people weren't more focused on it.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a pretty impressive feat for Zelensky in Ukraine. Hey,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: this whole AI trying to scare everybody to death, make
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: it the new climate change, is this going to work
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: for Democrats?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 17: Well, I think the industry, thank the Lord, has finally
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 17: begun a counter-messaging effort.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: There are two issues, right?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 17: One is the data center thing, which is really a
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 17: local politics issue. This should not be national consideration. If
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 17: you're in a community where they don't want data.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Centers, fine.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 17: Go to your local politicians, explain that you hate data centers,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 17: you don't want the noise or whatever it is about
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 17: them that you don't like. The reality is, though, that
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 17: a lot of people are concerned about electricity prices going
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 17: up in areas where you have data centers. Okay, so
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 17: fix that. Just make the people running the data centers
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 17: pay for any incremental electricity load that they incur. That
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 17: seems to me to be a pretty straightforward.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: Simple resolution.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: Nothing is simple in our politicized world, but that should
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 17: be something that local administrators can figure out. On the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 17: water side, you know, there's lots of stories out there,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 17: not coincidentally today, about how golf courses use more water
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 17: and this group needs more water. The truth is, I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 17: was on air earlier today with the head of a
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 17: company that provides infrastructure for data centers, and he said 75%
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 17: of their data centers are closed loop, meaning they don't
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 17: take any water out. out of anybody else's reservoir, they
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 17: have a certain amount of water that they're using and
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 17: it's recycled. So I think that people are dispelling the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 17: concerns about data centers. And by the way, Mark, pointing out,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 17: every time you get in your car and you go
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 17: on Gmaps to figure out Google Maps where you're going,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 17: you're using a data center. I mean, we're all using
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 17: data centers. They're They've been around for a while. They're
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 17: certainly getting bigger and more complicated because of AI, but
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 17: we need to have that computing power behind our society now.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 17: So just sort of having a, you know, declaring war
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 17: on them is just plain stupid. The other side is
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 17: the security risk of what you might call self-improving AI,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 17: meaning that the agents begin to create the next generation
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: of agents more or less independent of human input, and
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 17: that those agents therefore are even more independent of human input.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 11: And we have seen some security.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 17: Breaches from all the major companies now. So I don't
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 17: dismiss this as total folly. I think there are self-interests
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 17: on the part of NVIDIA, which is saying, oh, there's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 17: no risk at all. They want the business to continue
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 17: full speed ahead because they're benefiting. anthropic may have a
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 17: competitive motive for doing this. But I'll tell you what,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 17: when Elon Musk and Philip Hawking, I don't know if
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 17: you remember who he was, probably one of the most
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 17: brilliant people on the face of the planet, the fellow
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 17: who broke the codes in World War II. When people
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 17: like that are saying, this is a risky undertaking, I
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 17: think you have to listen. And you can't just, politically,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 17: I think it's extremely unwise for politicians President Trump to
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 17: dismiss safety concerns out of hand. People are worried. He
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 17: has to address that worry and say, at the same time,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 17: the benefits clearly outweigh the risk. And that's the message
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 17: that the industry has been so very bad at getting
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 17: out there.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Well, he has created, he's creating an AI force to
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: watch things. He's got an AI.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 17: Yes, which is great, which is exactly what he should do.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 17: By the way, I mean, honestly, some of the arguments
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 17: on both sides of the political spectrum here have been
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 17: so dumb, it seems to me. No one in the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 17: industry is calling for quote unquote federal regulation. That would require,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 17: oh my God, Congress to get involved.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: Last thing we.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 17: Want is Congress anywhere near AI. They don't understand it.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 17: They're never going to understand it. And look at the
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 17: Clarity Act if you want an example of how completely
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 17: incapable Congress is at moving forward legislation that's even slightly complicated.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 17: They don't get it done. So- You know, if you
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 17: really want to just trip up AI forever, put Congress
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 17: in charge of figuring out the safety guards here and,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 17: you know, we will be doomed.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and then you got Kathy Hochul and Gavin
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Newsom talking about their kill switch. There's no such thing
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: as a kill switch that would actually.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I don't. I mean, they don't know either. Truthfully,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 17: you and I don't know and they don't know.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Well, great. As always, Liz Peek and everybody read her columns.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: You got a new one up on Fox News dot
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: com today.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: I do.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 17: It's about the U.N. and about the reform efforts. I
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 17: think what they're doing, there are two things I think
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 17: that are really underreported. I know you have to run.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 17: One is I think what they're doing at the U.N.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 17: is actually significant.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: The other thing is.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 17: The procurement process at the Pentagon. Everyone hates Beats XS.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 17: I understand that on the left. But I think there
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 17: are some things that are just awful about the way
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 17: we manufacture products. munitions, and it can be improved upon,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 17: and I think they're doing that.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: Well, go read her column. It's at the Fox News website,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: and you can also read her at TheHill.com, and check
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: out her website, LizPeak.com. There's a lot of great stories
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: up there. LizPeak.com. Liz Peak, thanks for being with us.

  Speaker 2: to that coming up. Right after the news, Mark Simone
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: here on 710WOR. Now, much more Mark.
• 1:07:23

  Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Hour number three. That's right, three hours now, 9 to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: noon on 710WOR. Well, the U.N. General Assembly, this is
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: the big day. President Trump speaks today at the U.N.,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Melania Trump also speaking today at the U.N. With the U.N.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: General Assembly taking place, these world leaders all over the place,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: and the president in town at the same time. It's
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: the biggest gridlock nightmare all year in Manhattan. It's total,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: complete gridlock around Trump Tower, around the U.N. And these
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: world leaders are staying at all the different hotels. The Pierre,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: the Four Seasons, the... St. Regis, the Waldorf. So it
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: causes traffic problems everywhere. And if you've been trying, if
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: you yesterday saw Trump Tower, it is surrounded by garbage trucks.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: They've lined up millions of garbage trucks as a barrier,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: in case of a car bomb or something like that.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: And then they've got the streets closed all around Trump Tower. Police,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: Secret Service everywhere. And if you're walking by certain hotels
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: in Manhattan, you're going to see all these black SUVs
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Not just regular ones, Chevy Suburbans, but they're all fixed up.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: They got special antennas on the roof, and they all
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: got Virginia and Maryland license plates. These are all the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: federal cars, Secret Service cars, that sort of stuff, all
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: over New York City. UN, all the delegates here, UN
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: General Assembly, you cannot get a hooker right now in
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: New York. They're They're all busy with the UN. They're
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: all doing that right now. The schedule the president has today,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: he speaks at the UN. By the way, they've got
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: times on the schedule. They're completely off schedule here, completely
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: off the schedule. Then the president goes to a meeting
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: with with the Prime Minister of Denmark, the Prime Minister
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: of Greenland. And that's where they sign the agreement. We
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: will have total control of Greenland forever. It's permanent. It's
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: a very, very, very, very important strategic place for us
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: militarily and to protect the United States from a missile
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: attack and all of that. So that's where they'll do
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: the signing. Then he goes from that to a meeting
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: with the British Prime Minister, Burgum, who can't stand him,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: who hates him. really hates him. And it's not like
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: a mom, Donnie thing where they have a hate, love, love,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: hate relationship. This is this. Hey, so he's got to
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: meet with this guy. Then he goes from that to
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: meeting with the prime minister of Japan. Sounds like a
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. Uh, then after that, he goes to a,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: they don't call it a meeting. They call it a
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: bilateral meeting with the president of Ukraine, Zelensky. Now that's
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: going to be an interesting meeting because, um, Remember the
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: first time around, Zelensky sat there like a little stooge
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: with the president slapping him around in front of all
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: the press. You can act like a man, you know,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: like you're just smacking him. And it's different now because Zelensky,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: give him credit, he built the best drone factories, missile
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: factories in the world. He's now making the biggest and
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: best drones on earth by the thousands. He's making unbelievable
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: missiles there. He's got missiles everywhere. that can go thousands
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: of miles farther than our missiles, and he's building them cheaper.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: So we are going to be turning to him to
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: get weapons now. We're going to be restocking and depending
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: on him for weapons. So he's got the Zelensky meeting.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Then he goes to the Shield of the Americas event.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Who knows what the hell that is, this UN committee.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Then there's a multilateral meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: This is what they do at the UN. They create
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: all these committees and panels, and nobody knows what the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: hell they do. Then about 3.30 he gets a break.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: He goes back to Trump Tower for an hour or two.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: And this is the first time he's been in Trump Tower.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Last night he stayed there. First time in a year
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: and a half that he has stayed in Trump Tower.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: It's kind of small and tiny compared to where he
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: lives now or Mar-a-Lago. But it has tremendous sentimental value.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: And he's got that office that he spent. 35 years
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: in every day. I'm sure he goes to look at
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: that office. And although, you know, he's not a sentimental guy,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: you know, I always have pictures of guys we knew
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: or places we used to go. And every time I'd
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: show him to us, Hey, remember this? He'd go, uh-huh.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: One second. Then he'd be guys like that. They don't
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: look backwards. They only look forwards. So then, uh, about
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: seven 15 tonight, he goes to the palace hotel. That's
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: 50th and Madison. That's the hotel right behind St. Patrick's Cathedral.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: And that's where they have the UN General Assembly leaders reception.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: This sounds like about the most boring thing you could
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: ever go to. And that's basically, I actually ducks out
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: of there. You can tell it's boring. He only gave
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: it like 20 minutes on the schedule. Then at 7.40,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: he's to meet with the acting president of Venezuela, And
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: that should go till 740 till about 830. And then
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: 830 heads to the airport and gets the hell out
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: of here. And that'll help ease the traffic a little
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: with the president leaving town. Netanyahu comes in Thursday. The
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: president expected to tell off the UN today and urge
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: them to do something about the UN. It's an absolute
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: useless mess of an organization. Gets absolutely nothing done. Nobody
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: can tell you what the hell the UN does. And
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: as Liz Peek reported to us last hour, the UN
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: budget is $ 4 billion a year. But they spend $ 70
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: billion a year. They just waste money like crazy all
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: over the world. All they do is waste money. They're
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: in tremendous financial trouble. The whole thing is a financial
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: disaster at the UN. Have you ever been in the building,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: the UN building? It is the dumpiest building you've ever seen.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: It is the dumpiest, most awful building inside. It was
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: built in like 1950 something. And they've never done a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: thing about it since. Everything in there is like, it's
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: like you're in an antique shop, but a bad one.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: It's just old 1960s walls and furniture. It's just as
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: crappy as can be. Totally, totally decaying in there. So
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: this UN thing goes on all week with the world leaders.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: As I say, Netanyahu on Thursday, that'll cause a, tremendous
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: security problems. Mamdani threatening to arrest him all over again,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: which is great because he has absolutely no power to
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: arrest him. And he's not been accused of anything ever
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: by any legitimate court. Well, in Israel, some corruption stuff, accusations.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: But this international criminal court isn't real. It's not an
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: actual court. It has no authority over anything. The U.S.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: not only doesn't recognize it, the U.S. government has actively
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: been trying to shut it down and sanction it for
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years just to get it to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: go away. It's just a fake thing created by a
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: bunch of mom Donnie's all over the world. Mom Donnie
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: meets with the president. He talked about affordability and that's
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: what mom Donnie does best. Talk about affordability, doing something
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: about it. Well, not so hot, but talking about it.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: He's great doing something about it. He hasn't got a clue.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know what to do about it. So, Now,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: why did Trump meet with Mamdani? Hey, well, ask Bill O'Reilly.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: He'll be with us later because he's been theorizing. It
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: might be to help Bruce Blakeman a little because Bruce
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Blakeman is doing very well. He's pretty much tied with
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul right now and probably on track to beat her.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: So she's been running these attack ads. If you're watching television,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: you see them all over the place about how Bruce
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: Blakeman is so close to Trump and he's MAGA and
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: he's 100% MAGA and they show clips of. Blakeman praising
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Look how awful he is with Donald Trump.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: He's too close to Donald Trump. They're terrible attack ads.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: But if you're a Blakeman fan, as most of us are,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: take it as a compliment. When you see him running
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: attack ads and that many of them every day, spending
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: that much money on those attack ads, it means they're scared.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: It means they've looked at their internal polling and they're
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: very scared. So as long as you see all those
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: vicious attack ads, it means Blakeman is doing very, very well.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: So because they're trying to tie him so much to Trump.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: That could be one of the reasons Trump met with
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: Mamdani because she's trying to make Trump the total enemy.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: But as long as he's smiling and arm in arm
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: with Mamdani, he doesn't seem like such an enemy anymore.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: And it's an interesting relationship because it's kind of, I mean,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Mamdani claims to hate Donald Trump. I don't think he
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: really does. I think he kind of admires Trump. I
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: think when they're alone, he kind of tries to learn
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: from Trump. Because Mamdani's an ambitious guy, very ambitious guy.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: Never had a job in his life. Give him credit.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: He goes from never having a job to being mayor
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: of New York. And he'd like to do what Trump did.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: He'd like to go all the way up the ladder. Now,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: he wasn't born in this country. He can't actually be president.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: But he could be something. So I think he admires Trump's...
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: skill at advancing in the world. So he's trying to
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: get some of that to rub off on him. And
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: I think Trump, he always thinks he can win somebody over.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: He always thinks that he's the most charming, incredible salesman
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: in the world. Sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't. But
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: I think he thinks he can win Mom Donnie over
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: or maybe push him in the right direction. It's a
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: good thing, actually. He's like a mentor or father-son kind of.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Trying to guide this guy to the right path. And
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: you never know. Maybe he'll pull it off. Hey, you
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: know those flock cameras? They're all over the place. These
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: flock cameras. These surveillance cameras. License plate readers. And video.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: And they keep an eye on... They're all over the place.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: There's millions of these flock cameras. And if somebody wants
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: to go into the flock system, they can see exactly
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: where you were. They can see you driving all over
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: the place. And the problem is everybody's searching these things. Cops.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: For instance, just take Long Island. Just take Long Island.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: 3,000 manual searches in one month. 3,000 searches in one month. Now,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: that can't be all crimes being investigated. You know, if
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: somebody wants to look and see where their girlfriend is
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: or what their wife is up to or their husband
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: is up, something like that. But 3,000 searches through flock
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: cameras just in Long Island in one month. Now, Long Island,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: there's over 700 flock cameras. They go all the way
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: from the Queens border to Montauk, thousands more throughout the
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: five boroughs. There's a D-Flock, that's an activist group, tracking
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: the company's surveillance. Some people want this gone. But if
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: you're not doing anything wrong, what's the difference? A former
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: Nassau prosecutor, who's now a defense attorney, points out the
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: state currently has no laws governing how long that data
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: can be kept, who can access it. or how misuse
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: would be caught, so that's a problem. Now, 60 cops, 60,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: 60 cops have been arrested for misuse the flock data.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: Just 18 in Georgia this summer alone, including a police
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: supervisor who used the camera system to track her boyfriend.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: You see, you got to worry about this. But on
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: the other hand, you know, you get one of those
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Apple AirTags. They're like the size of a quarter. And
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: if you've got a girlfriend or boyfriend, you just hide
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: one under her seat in the car, throw it in
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: their trunk, put it under their seat, whatever. And that way,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: you can look on your phone, you can see where
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: they are at any time. So there's all, I mean,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: the flock cameras are one thing, but there's all kinds
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: of technology like that. Some Brooklyn Democratic Party bigwigs getting
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: a little flack because they were raising $ 200, 000 in campaign donations.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: from people that wanted to be judges. You know, a
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: lot of times these judges and judicial candidates buy the nomination. Yeah,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: $ 50, 000 and you can become a judge. You give it
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: to the right party leader and you get nominated. You know,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: if it's in a district where that party always wins,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: you're the judge. Former Brooklyn Party Chairman Frank Cedio, current
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: chair Rodney's, whatever his name is here, have collected 190,000
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: contributions and payments from more than 90 judges and judicial
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: candidates since 2012. So there's a lot. I don't know
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: why you'd want to be a judge. You know, a
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: lot of these guys used to work in a big
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: law firm. You know, when you work in a big
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: law firm, it's like right over there in one of
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: those beautiful skyscrapers, you have a luxurious office. You get
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: paid a couple million a year working in this law firm.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 14: It's great.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: And I mean, the work's not so much fun, but
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: it's great. They got the beautiful offices. the greatest food,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: the greatest this, the greatest beautiful conference room. Then you
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: become a judge. You're sitting in this dumpy, dumpy courthouse
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: all day. I mean, it's really a dump down there.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: There's a crummy cafeteria. So I asked them, why? Why
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: did you give up the law firm? Well, in the
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: law firm, you're working there with 2,000 other people. But
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: when you become the judge, you're the king. You're the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: absolute king in that courtroom. Everybody has to do what
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: you say. So some people prefer that. And a lot
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: of times, these guys make a fortune in the law
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: firms don't need to work anymore. That crazy Meghan Markle
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: and Harry, they moved to England now, got totally wiped
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: out here, looking for something to do. Now, when they
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: have to fill out a form and it says occupation,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: what the hell do these two put down? I have
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: no idea, but they don't know what the hell to
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: do with themselves. They're looking for attention, trying to get
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: publicity every day. So Meghan Markle spotted for the first
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: time out out in public in the UK, chatting at
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: a bar with fellow expat Ellen DeGeneres at a pub.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: The two of them, Ellen DeGeneres, who left the U.S.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: Was it over Trump or something? I don't know why.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: She got mad at Trump or something and left. Meghan Markle,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: totally wiped out, totally unable to find any work in
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: the U.S. So the two of them sitting together in
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: the pub with Ellen's wife, Portia, So the three of them,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: and they're lucky, these three people. They don't need an
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: alarm clock, no reason to get up in the morning.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: They can sit in the pub. They don't have to
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: have a watch. They don't need to know what time
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: it is. They got nothing to do and no place
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: to go. So what would be the point? Hey, we'll
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 10: 800-321-0710.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: 3-2-1-0-7-10. The Mark Simone.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 13: I'm feeling a little under the weather, but it's good
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 13: to speak with you again.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: Second caller today with a cold. Too many of these
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: going around. Go ahead, Dave. Thank you, sir.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 13: It was mentioned a little earlier on the broadcast that
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 13: Illinois Governor J.D. Pritzker lost 80 pounds. What I don't
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 13: understand with these shots to lose weight is, are you
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 13: a slave to these shots? What happened to diet and exercise?
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 13: And finally, Mark, to wrap it up, didn't Bill Clinton
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 13: at the beginning of his first term visit McDonald's every day?
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 13: He was quite heavy, but he lost the weight through
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 13: just simple exercise?
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, that's a good question. Clinton had some very serious, uh,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: health problems. Yeah. He was a big McDonald's French fries
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: and he was, it was kind of a pudgy guy, uh,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: even though memory is always jogging his first term yet
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: still pudgy. But then, uh, in later years he had
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: tremendous heart trouble and, uh, you remember he had heart
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: surgery and it didn't go too well. They had to
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: like bring them back and, uh, the surgeon apparently choked, uh,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: You know, you think, well, if you're the biggest name
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: in the world, you're going to get the finest doctor. Yeah,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: but you don't realize they can get nervous. The guy
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: choked a little, so they had to clean up some
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: scarring in there. Now, he had a problem. It's medical stuff.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: It runs in his family, apparently, where the cholesterol just
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: goes totally out of control. So that's why in recent
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: years he eats basically just salads and plants and green stuff,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: and that's about it. So that helped him lose a
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: lot of weight. Let's go to Harry in New Jersey. Harry,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Mark.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 14: Thanks for taking my call. I agree with you about 98%
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 14: of the time, maybe 99. But one thing, you keep
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 14: on wanting New York to come back. They voted for
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 14: Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I don't know what you're
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 14: Well, you always seem to want, which is you want...
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 14: New York to come back.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: It didn't leave. It's still here. New York is here.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: No, I know.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 14: But they voted for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Kathy Hochul,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 14: Andrew Cuomo, Bill de Blasio, Mondani.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know all this. We know all this. What
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: are you trying to say?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 14: Well, I'm just trying to say when you want to
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 14: see Manhattan sink into the Hudson River.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Does anybody know what he was talking about?
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: No idea. Let's go to Richard in Bayshore. Richard, how
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 15: Morning work there's no one to correct an earlier caller uh...
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 15: in lower manhattan around water street in the eighteen thirties
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 15: and eighteen forty there was a neighborhood called coolers hook
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 15: which was a red light district all the sailors went
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 15: there for prostitutes and it was very dangerous like the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 15: five points from the gang of working in new.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: York movies yeah uh... but uh.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 15: you know earlier in the uh... the nineteenth century so uh...
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 15: angel worker was a union general who drank and womanized
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 15: but that's, uh, largely an urban legend.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: He didn't have, Oh, okay. So the, they call them hookers,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: not because of general hooker, but because of this area
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: called the hook, the hook.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 15: It was, uh, based on the geographic, uh, shape. It was, uh,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 15: a Dutchman named Coralier owned it in the 1600s. And, uh, uh,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 15: it's probably down around the South street seaport up to
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 15: grand street.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, all right. Well, all right. That's good. I think
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: your story is probably the correct one. It makes more
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: sense that way, but, uh, This came up because you
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: can't get a hooker right now in New York City.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: UN General Assembly Week is like the Super Bowl for hookers.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: It's their biggest week. They come in from all over
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: the world for this to take care of these UN
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: General Assembly idiots. So there's no hookers left, and they're
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: not available. Sorry, all you guys out there. You're going
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: to have to wait until next week. Let's go to— what' s
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: the name here? Is it Kalman? Kalman, how are you doing?
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: I'm doing— I'm doing very well.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 15: I need about 10 minutes.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 16: I'm very frustrated because Trump, unless God intervenes, which he
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 16: has done before.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: Has no chance. Slow down. Calm down. What's the matter, Kalman?
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: Calm down. What are you upset about?
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm upset the way the campaign is going and
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 5: he has no chance.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 17: The president campaigned.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 10: For Congress in 2016.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 5: Let me just give you a little background.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 11: I was advised to Mario Cuomo.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 10: Well, I didn't know how to live with it. I
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 10: was advised to tell you.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: Calm down. The current polling. I'm not talking about the
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: public polls.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: Forget about the current poll.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. The public polling looks very bad. The
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: real polling, the accurate stuff, the internal polling sucks. Looks
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: pretty good. It doesn't look so bad. We had the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: best pollster in the world on yesterday. I'm talking about
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: real polls, not the fake public polls. As he said,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much close in most states, but he's pretty confident.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: And he explained the public polls aren't real. They're all rigged.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: They put Republicans at 23 percent in the sample instead
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: of 38 percent like they should be. They don't use
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: likely voters. They use whoever the hell they want. They
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: don't use the right demos. This is all done deliberately.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: It's all to suppress Republican vote. It's all to get
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: guys like this all panicky and pessimistic. But in the
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: real polls, it looks pretty good. Now, whatever the current
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: state is doesn't matter because it's what's going to happen
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: in the next month. Republicans have $ 250 million cash to
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: spend on this. RNC, $ 250 million. The Democrats have $ 8
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: million to spend on this. So, If you want to
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: go to a place like Iowa and change the race,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: i could do to send 10 million there blitz it
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: with ads it can change things democrats don't have any
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: money they can't do that kind of stuff hey when

• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: I'm okay. Busy morning with the Trump speech and... All
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: of that stuff, but I'm hanging in. How about you?
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: I'm good. President pretty much telling off the UN, setting
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: them straight. Is it going to do any good? Those
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: guys didn't look like they were listening too carefully.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: Every nation operates under its own interests, so it's hard
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: to rally anybody to do anything. So I don't expect
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 3: to be any big changes in NATO or Other nations
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: around the world, they'll continue to operate the way they've
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: been operating. I think Donald Trump knows that. That speech
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 3: that he gave at the UN was basically for the
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: American public. Say, look, we have accomplished an amazing amount
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: of things. He reels them off. CNN will now go
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: on the air and say, no, he's lying. You know,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: the merry-go-round just goes around and around. But his speech
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: today was basically tailored to rally Americans to keep him
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: in power in the midterms.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but a big part of the speech, Iran is
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: clearly the bully of the Middle East, he said. Iran
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world, stopping
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: them once and for all. That's a no-brainer. What's the
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: argument on that?
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: There really isn't any cogent argument, but it's apathy. So
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: there are many nations in the world don't care whether
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: Iran's chief sponsor of terrorism, as long as the terrorism
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: doesn't come to their country. And then with the nuke thing,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: that's theoretical, so they go, well, you know, we don't know,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: and The left-wing American point of view on Iran is
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: that there was no imminent threat.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: Imminent.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: Dreams like tomorrow. So people believe what they want to believe.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: You don't like Donald Trump, you're not going to like
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: the speech, you're not going to like him, no matter
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: what he does. But he is laying out a counterattack
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: for the midterms. And But overseas, I don't expect Iceland
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: to care about what they do in Tehran. They don't.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to the press ban. It makes sense.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: I understand what he's saying. But he's never going to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: win that battle, is he? He's going to lose that.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: No, but he doesn't care whether he wins it.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: He doesn't?
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: He just wanted the statements. And then the Trump administration
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: saw what happened to the AP when they booted them
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: out in February 25, and nothing happened. So the AP sued,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: but the federal courts just said, well, we'll get to
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: it maybe in five years. And that's the system. So
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: AP is still out on the streets of D.C. roaming around.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: They can't go in. So Trump goes, hey, I'll do
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: it to these three. I had a lot of my
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: peers in the business get angry at me because I
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: wrote a column on Sunday on BillO'Reilly.com and said, look,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: Trump's not going to win. The Supreme Court's not going
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: to throw the First Amendment out or even carve out
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: corruption against the press. That's not what the Supreme Court does. However,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have to win. All he wants to do
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: is embarrass these people, and he's got enough ammo to
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: do that. I mean, they suppress the news now. It's
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: not just a matter of misleading O'Reilly and Simone, which
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: is impossible because we've been around too long, but they
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: suppress it. So the good economic numbers that Trump cited
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: today in his speech, lowest poverty rate, highest affluence rate,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: CNN didn't even report it. That's a pretty big story,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: I think, to ignore, wouldn't you say?
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah. So he could go to court and lay
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: all those out, right? And lay out all the fake
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: news they did broadcast.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the judges themselves already know. So they'll be
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: sitting around. And what the discussion has to be is,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: we know that the American media is corrupt. We also
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: know that Jefferson and Monroe and Benjamin Franklin, not Monroe,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: Madison and, uh, Benjamin Franklin didn't want to corrupt. They
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: want an independent press. They want a fair press. And
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: now we don't have one. So are they still entitled
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: to protections? And the answer is the Supreme court will
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: punt and say, yeah, that's my prediction.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: Uh, Bill O'Reilly, uh, uh, President Trump meets with Mayor Mamdani.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: I know he always thinks he can win over everybody,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: he can charm everybody, but what else do you think
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: he was hoping to achieve there?
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: I think that was a play, and I have no
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: evidence to base this on. But I think that was
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: a play to help Blakeman beat Hogle. So Hogle's entire
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: campaign is Trump's the devil, and Blakeman is Satan number two,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: because he likes Trump. That's her whole campaign. So Trump
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: comes in, and he portrays himself as a kind of
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: nice guy to Mandami and Mandami's supporters, hoping to carve
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: out a few anti-Trump votes. Well, he's not that bad.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a good strategy or not.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think I would have done it because Ramdami
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: is a devil to traditional Republicans. And to kind of
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: legitimize him, even though he is the mayor and he
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: won legitimately, okay, but to give him the status of
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: a presidential visit for an hour, I don't know whether
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: I would have done that. Yeah.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: So what is Mamdani's reason for meeting with Trump, who's
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the devil to him?
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: What's the downside for Mamdani? What does he do all day?
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know what he does. Hey, the president wants
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: a good man where we'll have little canopies. Okay. What's
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: the downside for him? There's no downside for him. Now,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: you might say, well, maybe some of his supporters will
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: get angry because that he's even in the same room
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 3: as President Trump. But this is a low, the people
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: behind Mandami, they're not following the news very much. I
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: hate to be condescending, but I believe it's true.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 10: So I think he.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Just said, yeah, I'll pick up some status points. This
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: is Mandami. And my people will forget about it three
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: hours after it happened.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 15: Huh.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: And as they walk through Gracie Mansion, you think the
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: president said to Mondani, you've got to fix this place up.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: Why not some gold on the walls? Let me give
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: you the number of my gold guy.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: Apparently they're going to build a housing project. And again,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: why not cooperate with that? So you'll remember during COVID
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 3: that President Trump Cooperated with Andrew Cuomo. Yeah. Remember? Yeah.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 3: And Cuomo's request was bring ships into the Hudson River
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: so we can isolate the worst cases. And Trump did.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: And how many people used the ships?
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: No one. Yeah. No one. Now, I don't know whether
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: Cuomo forgot about the ships or... there weren't enough ambulances
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: to get people to the show. I don't know. The
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: traffic was too bad, but the federal government moved this
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: flotilla up because Cuomo wanted it. Andrew, Cuomo, and nobody
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: used it. Wow.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we're almost out of time. The book, how's
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: the book doing? Bill O'Reilly's new book is fabulous. You've
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: got to read it, Confronting America.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate that. We just reordered. When you
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: reorder books and, you know, lots of books, then you're
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: doing well. But it's a whole different game than it
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: used to be when I started the Killing series. Killing
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: Lincoln was our first. And now it's a special interest
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: who's buying the books. So I have to tailor my marketing,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 3: but I think it's a good book. I mean, if
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: you really care about your country and you want problems
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: to be solved, we solve them. Now, you can disagree,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: and that's part of the fun of the book. You
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: can disagree, oh, this wouldn't work, or I don't think
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: that's fair, or whatever. But the problems that we talk
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: about in confronting America, something has to change, are concerns
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: to every one of us. Because we have taken a
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: turn now in this country. We got a radical element
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 3: in this country that we didn't have maybe five years ago.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: We got it now.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a great book. It takes you through the
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: last few decades. It shows you how we got to
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: where we are. You can order it right now. The
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: book is out. Order it. It's Confronting America. You can
