  Speaker 1: Marc Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays. 710-W-O-R. That's right.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Nine till noon every day. Anyway, let's take some calls.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Frank in Phoenix. Frank, how you doing? Frank?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, sir. Can you back in July?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, Frank, what's the temperature in Phoenix right now?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: It's about a hundred degrees.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I think call us back. Your line is cutting out. Yeah,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I actually know it was like 100 yesterday. 100 in Phoenix.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Hal in Freeport. Hal, how are you doing? Yeah,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: these big, noisy computers, what do they call those factories?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You mean the data centers? Yeah, put them on the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: old ferry, the Staten Island ferries. Put them on there,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: bring them out 10 miles, anchor them off. You don't
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: really have to do that. You know, you can just
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: put them in remote areas. They don't make as much
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: noise as an airport does. An airport makes even more noise.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And an airport, you've got LaGuardia right in the middle
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of a residential area. You've got Kennedy in the middle
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of a residential area. You just put them out somewhere.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: The noise is from the turbines, the cooling systems. And
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the noise can travel pretty much half a mile. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it can faintly be heard a mile away. The problem
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with those turbines, it's not just noise. It's like a hum,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: like a vibrating kind of noise, you know, like a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: train rattling going by. But they're basically just enormous buildings
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with computers in them. They create lots of jobs. They
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: power all your AI phones, data, everything. But they're just noisy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Who's going to put them in remote areas? Frank is back.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Frank in Phoenix, how are you doing?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, can you hear me, Mark?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Now you sound good.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, Mark, back in July, the steel beam came through Scottsdale,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and I went down there. About 2.30, they were supposed
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to start the proceeding, but it was 110.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: You're talking about, you mean the 9-11 steel beam?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And I was getting
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: ready to leave, and the guy says, go in the museum.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So I went on these two massive trailers, and it
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: was beautiful. There were six guys in there. Five of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: them were retired firemen from New York. I got to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: talk to all of them. The one guy told me
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that he was supposed to work that day, and one
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of his guys called in and asked him if he
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: would switch days. He goes, he saved my life. Yeah,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. A lot of those stories. Go ahead.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I have been saying for years, why hasn't Christy Todd
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Whitman been called out? Now they find these documents saying
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that they knew the air was poisoned. And I was
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: wondering if Congress was going to call her up and say, listen,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you knew it. What did you do?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what she knows. I'd rather have
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: him go after Fauci. You know, one thing about her.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I agree.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: She's just a politician. She was just a politician towing
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the line there, whatever the party line was. In the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: case of Fauci, he claimed he was a doctor. He
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: claimed he was a scientist. For him to lie about
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: all that stuff was just really, really, really awful. Let's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing? Vincent, are.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: You there? Hello?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Nope. Call us back. Not your fault. We've got these
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: phones there. They're not regular phones. They're digital. That's why
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: sometimes it speeds up the voice. Call us back. Let's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: go to Steve, Port Morris. Where's that, in the Bronx?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Port Morris? Ah, there you go. More noise than a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: data center.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Old manufacturing area, nice working class area. Now, we used
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to have a factory here. Yeah, very nice. And also,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of lofts and stuff there. There's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of artists who work out of there now. Yeah, increasingly.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: The developers are trying to make it into Williamsburg. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: don't think it's going to work because... I'm sorry. It's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: going to work. You're going to be overrun with those,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: what you used to call the yuppies. They're going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: be all over the place. Sorry, you're going to have
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a Starbucks everywhere. Oh, look at that. He cut out, too.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Something's wrong with our phones today. We'll see if we
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: can get it fixed by next hour. Hey, when we
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: come back, Michael Goodwin will be with us, the greatest
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: columnist in America. We'll talk to Michael Goodwin coming up
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: next on 710WOR. com.
