Mark's 10am Monologue. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This is The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Hey, well,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this is hour number two. If you still don't know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we're now a three-hour show. We start at 9 a.m.,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: so it's 9 to noon every day. Now, remember, last
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: hour we were talking about Google Maps. Started calling it
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Lake America instead of Lake Ontario. Liberals went nuts. Apple Maps...
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Started calling it Lake America instead of Lake Ontario. Liberals
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: went even crazier. Doug Burgum, Interior Secretary, does say that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: they did contact Apple and ask them to change it
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to Lake America. But Apple and Google both point out
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it's an official name now. It's not just Trump shooting
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: his mouth off. There's a Bureau of the Department of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Interior that's in charge of officially naming things. I forget
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what it's called, but the Bureau of Naming, whatever, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: they named it Lake America. So according to the U.S. government,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that's officially the name. That's why Apple and Google went
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: along with this. Now, MapQuest. Does anybody still use MapQuest?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Remember MapQuest? Remember the early days of the Internet? Remember
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the early 2000s? You kids today, why you wouldn't believe it?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: There was no Google. There was no Safari. There was,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: what did we have then? I'm trying to remember. Oh,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: there was, remember the search engines were Yahoo. That was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the big search engine. There was AltaVista. There was, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: can't remember the word, like four big search. And then
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Google was invented later and that took over. But in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the early days, you would use MapQuest. This is like, primitive,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know, 2003, you'd use MapQuest, you'd use Ask Jeeves.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Remember all that stuff? So apparently MapQuest is still around.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Nobody uses it, but MapQuest has stood up to Donald
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Trump and they say it's Lake Ontario on MapQuest. They
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: say they refuse to rename it. They're defying the federal government.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: They're defying the Trump administration. And guess what happened as
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a result? Remember this crazy liberals all over the place.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: As a result, MapQuest is now the number one app
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on Apple. It's the most downloaded app there is today. Uh, left-wing, uh, liberal, uh,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: all downloading MapQuest now putting on their phone. Uh, okay, good.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Keep using MapQuest. We'll stick to Google and, uh, Apple Maps. Hey, the, uh,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk trial will, uh, will, uh, start, uh, they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have a strange process in Utah. In other states, you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: got a grand jury and prosecutors and everybody, they go
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: before the grand jury, they present the case quickly. It's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: like done in an hour. And the grand jury says, well,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that's enough evidence. And they vote to indict. In Utah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you basically have to put on the whole trial. This
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: will go for weeks. For weeks, you put on a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: whole trial for the grand jury. And then they decide,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: then the judge decides. So, That's the process. They went
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: through that whole thing, which is why you keep seeing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: all that video and you think there's been a trial.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That's just for the judge to rule that it's okay
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to have a trial. So now the real trial will begin.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It's a stupid process. And it's also a horrible process
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: for the families of the victim because they have to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sit through these trials. It's a painful experience to see
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: this evidence for the family, for the widow of Charlie.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: They have to see all this video and evidence. It's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: just awful. So they have to do it twice. It's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: really painful, but the judge ruled in favor of that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So Anna Wintour, this is interesting. It's heating up. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: predict she'll be gone from the Met Gala by the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: end of the year. Anna Wintour runs that stupid Met Gala.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It's been gone. It used to be pretty good. In
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the 90s, it was very, very elegant. It was the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: cream of New York society. It was tuxedos and gowns.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It was quite the elegant, beautiful, uh, gala every year.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And the prices, it was expensive, but it wasn't crazy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It could be thousand dollars a ticket, $ 500 a ticket,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not 50,000 or a hundred thousand a ticket, none of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But, uh, Anna Wintour took over and started
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to shift it away from that New York society and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: all those illustrious names and started going for, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Kardashian type names, tabloidy names, uh, hip-hop, rap, music names.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And she may have been right because all those old
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: society people, all those big names of the 90s, they're
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: all dead now. And with these people, with this new crowd,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they'll spend 10 times as much. They don't know anybody.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: They'll spend $ 80, 000 a ticket, $ 500, 000 a table, and they do.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: But she chose as her honoree John Galliano, who's the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: biggest anti-Semite imaginable. You couldn't be a bigger anti-Semite. It's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: one thing to make some sort of an anti-Semitic remark
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: at some point. But this guy, it was just over-the-top insane. Insane.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Standing in the middle of a crowded restaurant, screaming at Jews, saying,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Hitler was right, you should all be gassed. That kind
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean, insane, crazy anti-Semitism. People in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: restaurant would record it on video. In Paris, one incident,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: he was convicted of hate crime for it. So this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is the biggest anti-Semite you could imagine. Everybody knew it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: He worked at Christian Dior as a designer. They threw
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: him the hell out. As I say, he was convicted
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of a hate crime for his anti-Semitism. So Anna Wintour
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: knows this and still makes him the honoree for the gala.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: People involved in her, whatever it is, her organization, screaming
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: at her, you can't do this. Now, they do this
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: at the Metropolitan Museum, probably our finest museum, the Met Museum.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: puts up with it because it brings in a few
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: million dollars for them. But the Metropolitan Museum has a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: board of directors with a lot of very wealthy types
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that all, many of them suddenly make a fortune in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: hedge funds and all that stuff. And they want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: legitimize themselves, get some sort of society credentials. So they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: start donating like crazy to the opera, to the Metropolitan Museum.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They're suddenly put on the boards because they donated so
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: much money. And the problem is, once you're on the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: board of the opera, you have to go opening night.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So here are these very wealthy hedge fund guys, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they have to go to the opera and the ballet,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and they're sitting there in the audience going, they don't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: know what the hell they're listening to with knowing what
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the hell they're looking at with this ballet, but they
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: got to sit there for two and these operas, you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it's like three hours and they go on forever and ever.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: What did Jackie Mason say? Uh, if they weren't hypocrites,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't have seats in the ballet. They would have beds.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: If they weren't hypocrites, they'd come in their pajamas, not tuxedos. Uh,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what did he say? It was a, it's a bedroom for, uh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: rich New Yorkers just to sleep in. But, um, Being
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: on the board of the museum is a very prestigious
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: thing now, the Met. So apparently they're very upset about
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this Anna Wintour. Now, this guy was so anti-Semitic. All
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the top Jewish organizations, the ADL, everybody was going crazy
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with Anna Wintour, demanding she get rid of him. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: then politicians got involved. The New York City Council Speaker,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Julie Menon, put a lot of pressure on on Anna Wintour.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So they got Galliano to withdraw Anna Wintour, pretending that, well,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: she's done the right thing, but she knew about this
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: guy all along. You got to figure she's a horrible
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: anti-Semite to look the other way on this. When you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: hear what he did in the past, screaming at Jews
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in a restaurant, Hitler was right, you should be gassed.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Who the hell would ever even talk to a guy
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: like that again? Who would even have anything to do
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: with a guy like that. So she knew all this
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: stuff and still made him the honoree of the whole gala.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So she's got to be thrown the hell out of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. Condé Nast needs to get rid of her.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So apparently over at the Met, the Metropolitan Museum, this
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: fancy board of directors, they had a Zoom, a frantic,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: panicked Zoom meeting yesterday to discuss what the hell to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: do about this. The whole board of trustees and all
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: sorts of billionaires And a lot of them are Jewish,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of these. And when it comes to the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: donors to this gala, a lot of them are Jewish.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: How the hell could you put the worst anti-Semite in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the world in as the honoree? So the Met Board
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: is already meeting about doing something. Now, how do you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: get Anna Wintour out of there? It's her gala. She
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: may be dirty, sleazy, anti-Semitic. She may bring in the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: worst people. But in the end, she brings in millions
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of dollars to the museum. So they're a little conflicted here. And,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you know, she's as nasty as can be. So you're
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: going to be in quite a dogfight with her. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the board of directors of the museum already in panic,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: having Zoom meetings. So expect something to happen here. Expect
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: some movement. They'll convince Anna Wintour to drop out, something
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like that. Hey, we were talking about how big things
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: are in New York real estate. New York is booming
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: real estate-wise. Rental apartments. You've never seen so much activity.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Sales through the roof. In fact, condo sales. really expensive co-ops, condos,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the number has increased. We're selling more now than last
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: year and the year before. But listen to this. The
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: median rent in Manhattan is now $ 5, 200 a month. That's
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a record high. That's up 6% from last year. $ 5, 200
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is the median rent And the number of apartments now
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: renting for $ 50, 000 a month or more has doubled since
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: last year, doubled. Now I know you're saying 50,000 a month.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: These are the same idiots that donate a fortune to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: get on the board of the opera and then go
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: sleep through it. $ 50, 000 a month, more than doubled. Now
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: listen to this. Apartments renting for more than 100,000 a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: month There is such a thing. Apartments renting for $ 100, 000
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a month. The number of them this year is up
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: seven times what it was last year. So you not
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: only got people pouring into Manhattan, very wealthy people. Now
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we're talking about data centers. Nobody wants to be near
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a data center. You know what is actually the most
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: dangerous thing you could have your building near? Or not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the most dangerous, but something that really is a problem?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: A dry cleaner's. A dry cleaner's. Apparently, there's fumes coming
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: out like crazy. Now, a lot of these dry cleaners
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you see in Manhattan, like the one over there in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the corner, the one over there, when you bring your
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: stuff in, they're not actually dry cleaning it right there.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It goes to some dry cleaning factory somewhere. So you
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry. But an actual dry cleaner is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: really doing it on the premises. The fumes are not healthy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: So that's a problem. Here's a guy who lives above
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a laundromat. who's suing, going crazy. He says the vibrations,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the fumes from the laundromat are ruining his life. That's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: actually much worse than a data center. Oh, I forgot.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I was going to mention this. Who was it yesterday?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Our caller, Kathy, brought up Phil Collins and said, didn't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he have a big affair with Sue Simmons? Well, no.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It turns out we found out it was Dana Tyler, Which,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Sue Simmons, I can't picture. Dana Tyler, yes, I could
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: see that. Dana Tyler was at Channel 2. Very nice woman. Very,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: very beautiful. Phil Collins and Dana Tyler. And it was not,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it an affair. It was a real
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: love affair, romance. It went on for a long time.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Apparently she looked exactly like his ex-wife. So this is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the type he likes. He divorced the ex. He had
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a long love relationship with Dana Tyler. Here's the problem.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Apparently the ex came back. Came back and he dumped
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Dana Tyler for the ex. And she was devastated. Devastated.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Then he wrote a book about his life. The Phil
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Collins autobiography. So in the book, he talks about all
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the loves of his life. And there's no mention of
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Dana Tyler. She doesn't even get mentioned in the book.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So apparently she was really, really, really crushed. She took
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a few months off from Channel 2, but then came back.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Very nice woman. But that is pretty low, Phil Collins.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And then to not even mention her in the book.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And it was a relationship that you just Google it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You'll see a million pictures of them together. You could
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: have mentioned it. We'll get to this US Open coming up.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Here's a shocking poll. I don't know if it's shocking.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: In this poll, they asked Democrats if we pay too
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: much attention to September 11th, about remembering September 11th. 72%
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of Democrats say we should stop paying attention to September 11th.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They say Muslims have been treated worse than people of
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: other religions since the attacks. Well, that can happen with
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: attacks like that. So it's a shocking poll. I'm not
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: shocked that Democrats don't want to remember September 11th. Hey,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: our friend Rosanna Scotto came back to work. She'd been
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: off for a couple of weeks. Her mother passed away.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Marion Scotto, great woman, passed away. But apparently she broke
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: down in tears on the air yesterday talking about it. And,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a very, very close family. And but
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: then she said, my mother would yell at me, stop
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: crying on the air. And when she came back to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: work after a couple of weeks, she said, I had
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to do it because my mother would be on. Get
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: back to work. Marion Scotto. She was a wonderful woman.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: You know, they own the restaurant Fresco's on 52nd Street.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And if you ever went there, when you walked in,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: there was that older woman sitting behind the front desk.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: That was Marion Scotto, hands-on, running the place and no
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: longer with her. Lived a nice, wonderful life. Lived to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: be 90 years old. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number. If you're a new caller, perfect.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: We like new callers. 800-321-0710.
