  Speaker 1: Mark Simone, the issues you really care about on 710WOR. Well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Mayor Mamdani plotting, scheming, plotting all kinds of 9-11 crap.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he's up to, but as mentioned,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: as you know, when he signed the bill about fighting terrorism,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he hands the pen to the terrorist lawyer to signal
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that he's not really behind this bill. He's showing up
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: at the 9-11 ceremony, totally unwanted. And the families, of course,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have all signed that petition. A lot of people have
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: signed the petition that he not come to the 9-11
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: ceremony on Friday. 100,000 signatures on there. And this might
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: look like a good act on his part. He released
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all the secret documents showing that the government, the city, state,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: local government, Federal, all the government people all knew the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: air quality was dangerous and bad and covered it up.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So Mamdani appeared alongside 9-11 families and Jon Stewart was there.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: He's always been latching onto this cause and he released
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the documents. It's about 150,000 pages of documents saying they
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: absolutely knew the air quality was poisonous. They knew it
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: was bad. They covered it up. You remember the famous
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Christine Todd Whitman, who was in the administration at the time,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: administration official, saying the air quality is fine, nothing to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: worry about. So why would he do this? This seems
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like a good thing to do to release all this.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: He put out a searchable portal so you can search
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: through the documents and look at stuff. And apparently this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is not it. There's 150,000 pages of documents, but apparently
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot more that could be coming out. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: why would he release that? I mean, if I had
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to guess, I think he's in some kind of war
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: with this 9-11 stuff. And that's why he would hand
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the pen to the lawyer of terrorists, of Al-Qaeda terrorists.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And I think by releasing this, he's looking to discredit
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: everybody that's thought of positively with 9-11. He's looking to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: discredit George Pataki, Rudy Giuliani, all the figures that were
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there on 9-11, all the heroes of 9-11 government. I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: think he's looking to discredit them completely by releasing this.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Because people are already saying, well, how could Christine Todd
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Whitman make those statements if she knew all this stuff? Well,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they're going to start to think, well, wait a minute.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Why didn't George Pataki let us know? Why didn't Rudy
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Giuliani let us know? Why didn't all those commissioners and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: officials and everybody let us know? Why didn't the city
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: government let us know? Why didn't the Bloomberg administration let
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: us know if they had these documents? If Mamdani found them,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: why didn't the Bloomberg administration find them? Why didn't the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: de Blasio administration find them? So I think that's his
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: purpose in releasing this, just to totally discredit the establishment government.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It's sort of become him against all the 9-11 government figures.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: He's looking to discredit them That's why he released it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And it's getting some attention, not as much attention as
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you think, but that could build. The steel from the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center, that big chunk of steel from 9-11,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: it's been touring the country to honor first responders. It's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: been going to various cities. It arrived at the White
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: House this morning. There's a ceremony today, Tunnel to Towers
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: brought the steel to the White House with a lot
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of first responders, very solemn event today. The president will
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: speak at this. This will be really his 9-11 speech.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: He's not going to come to Ground Zero, and not
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: because they wouldn't let him speak. Nobody ever speaks. They
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: don't have speeches at the Ground Zero ceremony. It's just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the families speak. No politicians ever speak, and that's been
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the case for many, many, many years. There'll be a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: ceremony at the Pentagon as well on Friday. President will
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: go to that. But today he'll make what is his
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: 9-11 speech as he honors the first responders today at
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the White House. It's after Labor Day. Don't worry. It's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: still summer. This is still summer. You got another couple
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: weeks of summer. 80 and sunny today. This is summer weather. Hey,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a show called Comics Unleashed. And it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on CBS. They canceled Colbert, threw him the hell out
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of there and replaced it. Byron Allen actually made a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: deal where he pays for the time. He buys the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: hour from CBS. And, you know, Byron Allen was a comedian,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: but he became this big producer, became a billionaire, literally
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a billionaire in show business. And he produces this show,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Comics Unleashed. And it's just funny. It's not political. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: not pushing any agenda. It's just funny. It's just comedians.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And it's very funny. Byron Allen interviews them. A lot
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of funny interviews. So it's been running in that time period. Well,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it's now beating Fallon and Kimmel. Crushing them, actually, in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the ratings. In what's the most important thing. The 18
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to 49 demo. 18 to 49 year olds. That's the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: key demo. That's what they're after with television viewers. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in the big demo that everybody's after. Once again, Byron Allen,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Comics Unleashed, beating Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel badly. Now, Kimmel,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: don't expect him to stay around too long. They got
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: rid of Colbert, and they're doing much better with Comics Unleashed.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Kimmel only has a few months left on that contract.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: When his contract ended last year, they wouldn't give him
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a new one. They just gave him a one-year extension,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: which is a real slap in the face insult. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: when that ends by the end of the year, they're
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: going to look at Comics Unleashed, the great success it's having.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Kimmel and Fallon get much older viewers. But in the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: 18 to 49, Comics Unleashed, a big, big hit. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: they may be looking at replacing Jimmy Kimmel with an
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: actual comedy show, not an angry, vicious political show, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: an actual comedy show, which was the original idea of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: late night TV. You have some laughs, you have some entertainment.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: A few laughs before you go to sleep. Not an angry,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: vicious political guy getting you all riled up before you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: go to sleep. Hey, this new rules. They're going in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: New York City schools everywhere about you. No phones. You're
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not allowed to have your phone in school. I guess
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it's because the kids get distracted. They'll take out their phone.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: They'll look at their phone while they're in school. You know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it's like when you go to dinner with people. You're
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: having dinner with some people. One of them takes out
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: their phone. They're looking at their phone. You can get
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: mad if you want. Put down your phone. I mean,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I'm listening. But it's really your fault. If you're having
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: dinner and you're talking and they take out their phone,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: obviously you're not holding their attention. You know, I do
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of speeches all over the place and I'm
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: always speaking at some event or emceeing some. You get
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: up there and you're talking and you see, you look
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in the front row and they're taking out their phone.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It means you're not doing your job. Make it better.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Make it funnier. Make it more interesting. Get them to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: put down the phone. Same thing if you're having dinner
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: with people and they take out the phone. Don't get mad.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Pick up the pace a little or change the subject.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Whatever you're talking about is boring the hell out of them.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're really riveting, nobody's taking out their
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: phone and looking. It's the same thing in school. If
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they're all taking out their phone, it means they're not
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: listening to what you're teaching. Hey, when I was in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this school, especially high school, I couldn't listen to any
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of that. I didn't know what the hell they were
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: talking about. I didn't learn a damn thing. I didn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: learn anything. And what did I take? We took biology.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: What the hell do I need to take biology for?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And especially math class, algebra, calculus. You're going to need
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this later in life. You know, it's much later in life.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It never came up once, that algebra stuff. Never once
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: did I ever need it. I like to go find
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: these old teachers. You know, you were wrong. It never
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: came up once that I needed algebra or calculus or even, uh, English.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You know, they'd have you read these books. Silas Marner.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell this book was about. No,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: what the hell I'm reading. Or sometimes the great book,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the great Gatsby is my favorite book. I mean, yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: what an incredible book, but they had me read it
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: when I was 14, 14. I don't know what the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: hell this book is about. So, uh, Maybe start thinking
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about switching high school to actually teaching something that somebody
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: might be interested in. Teach them how to do their taxes.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Teach them how to invest. Teach them skills they can
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: actually use somewhere instead of this stuff. So, hey, a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: weird thing happened on MSNOW. Everybody's talking about it. Normally,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you can shoot your mouth off on CNN or MSNBC.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You can accuse Trump of all kinds of things. You
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: can say all the fake lies you want. Nobody ever
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: bothers you. So ex-lawyer of Trump's, Ty Cobb, who now
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: hates Trump, he's on MSNBC now, or MSNBC, whatever they
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: call it, and he kept calling Trump a rapist. President Trump,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a rapist. The host on the show was Jonathan Capehart.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He actually interrupted. He said, nope, nope, nope, he's not
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a rapist. Well, he was convicted of rape. No, he wasn't.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It was sexual assault. Well, but they said he was
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a rapist. No, no. sexual assault. So nobody knows why.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But Jonathan Capehart, good for him, actually corrected the guy. Now,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it could be a memo has gone out to everybody
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: at the network because they did that on ABC on
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the Sunday show with George Stephanopoulos. Trump sued. And ABC
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: had to settle for like $ 15 million. They had to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: give Trump $ 15 million. And Trump is currently suing NBC
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: over Kristen Walker, that fake news corrupt Sunday show host,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for some lie she put on the air. So they're
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: going to have to make a settlement there. So a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: memo has probably gone out to everybody. Although MSNOW is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: no longer a part of NBC, but they probably sent
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a memo out to everybody not to accuse Trump of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: totally fake things because they don't want to get sued.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And MSNBC, MSNOW, it's no longer part of NBC. They
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: would have to defend themselves. They would have to pay
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: their own settlement. And I don't think they want to
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: do it. You know, you'll hear people call Trump a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: pedophile or make these pedophile jokes. Well, Donald Trump has never,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: ever been accused of being a pedophile. There is nothing
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: out there, nothing in the Epstein files, absolutely nothing anywhere
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that even suggests he had anything to do with pedophilia, nothing.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So if anybody says that, that is absolute, total fake news. Hey,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, did you see this piece they
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: did on John Fetterman? You know, the guy with the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: shorts and the hoodie? It's interesting. You know, why would
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you not wear a suit and tie in Congress? You
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: show up in your basketball clothes or you show up
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: like you're there to move furniture or something. Why? Why? Well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I guess it makes it look like you're there to work.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You're going to work hard. Well, no. Big report from
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. Apparently, Fetterman is the laziest guy
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in the history of Congress. Never shows up. Doesn't really
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: do anything. He had a meeting scheduled with paralyzed veterans.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, they got word that he's sick.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: He's got laryngitis. He can't come to the meeting. And
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: there's TVs on in the office there. And so the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: staff says, we'll hold it. We'll discuss it with you.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: The staff will hold the meeting. But a few minutes later,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they notice on the TV, wait a minute, there's Fetterman
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: on Fox News. He stood them up to go do
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a Fox News interview. So there's more and more of this.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: He's backed out from attending funerals. He found a way
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to get marked present at certain hearings when he's not
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: really there He'd walk in, get Mark present, and just leave.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Cancels meetings all the time with constituents and lawmakers. There
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: was one funeral for police officers killed in his hometown.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to be there. Then he got there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: He found out the funeral's three hours. And he said,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that's a deal breaker. And left. Wouldn't show up at
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the funeral. So that's apparently the real Fetterman behind the scenes.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: But it's starting to come out. Hey, Costco, you know
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the most popular thing? It's this pumpkin stuff is everywhere now.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Pumpkin everything is showing up everywhere. But Costco has the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: greatest food. Nobody has a better hot dog. It's the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: finest hot dog with the best hot dog bun. They
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: now have a copy of the Dairy Queen Blizzard. Costco
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: is just a place to go eat. It's phenomenal. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the bakery, amazing stuff. But one of the most popular
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: things is the pumpkin cheesecake. It's back. It's unbelievable. The
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: pumpkin cheesecake, whipped pumpkin topping, sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg. Everybody's
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: been waiting for this. It's finally back. A little early,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: but that's okay. The other thing about Costco, everything is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: so cheap there. Now, this pumpkin pie is 10 ounces,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: made fresh daily. How much do you think it is? $ 5. 99. $ 5. 99.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It'd be $ 30 anywhere else. $ 5. 99 at Costco. Hey, do
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you drink coffee every day? Well, if you drink too
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: much coffee, believe it or not, Sorry to break this
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to you. Latest study. It's associated with higher, actually lowering
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: your bone density, especially around the hips. Hip bone mineral
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: density can be lowered by coffee. Too much coffee can
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: do that. Now listen to this. If you drink tea,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it gives you a higher hip bone mineral density. That's
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: very important as you get older, that bone density. So
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: tea helps it. Coffee hurts it. Latest research, I'm sorry
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to tell you, but especially if you drink five cups
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of coffee or more per day can really lower bone
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: density around the hips. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number. Don't forget, it's 9 to noon
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: every day. We're now three hours. 9 to noon every day.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: We'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710.
