0:01
Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show. Well, hey, what's today?
0:19
Speaker 1: It's only Tuesday. Oh, my God. It's only Tuesday. Well,
0:22
Speaker 1: it's going to be a beautiful week. Nice weather. This
0:25
Speaker 1: is the end of summer. It ends, I hate to
0:28
Speaker 1: tell you, a week from today. It's the final day
0:30
Speaker 1: of summer. A week from today. So we got a
0:32
Speaker 1: lot to get to. We'll get to this whole AI
0:36
Speaker 1: controversy and what that's really all about. We'll get to
0:41
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie and more. Yeah,
0:46
Speaker 1: he's suing everybody. He's going after ICE. Talk about hysterical hyperbole.
0:54
Speaker 1: Listen to him talk about ICE.
0:55
Speaker 2: The federal government has waged a campaign of violence and terror.
0:59
Speaker 2: unaccompanied children have been forced to navigate our judicial system
1:02
Speaker 2: alone ice has broken into our neighbors homes work sites
1:06
Speaker 2: and schools and it has targeted those who have come
1:09
Speaker 2: to our country in search of refuge and in search
1:12
Speaker 2: of opportunity.
1:13
Speaker 1: Now it's just arresting illegals and they're specifically targeting the
1:17
Speaker 1: ones who are criminals rapists robbers uh people have committed
1:20
Speaker 1: crimes gang members uh but that's mom daddy exaggerate the
1:24
Speaker 1: hell out of everything now um the most important thing
1:29
Speaker 1: for Democrats going into an election is to create a
1:33
Speaker 1: huge boogeyman that everybody must be terrified of. Uh, it
1:38
Speaker 1: was climate change. It was, uh, QAnon. It was, uh,
1:42
Speaker 1: what was before that? I can't, the alt-right. Remember every
1:44
Speaker 1: election to come up with one of these climate change.
1:46
Speaker 1: We were all going to die. Remember that? We're all
1:49
Speaker 1: going to, it's going to kill us. This climate change. Uh,
1:52
Speaker 1: how long have they been saying this? Well, you can
1:54
Speaker 1: go back to 1982. How, how long ago is that? That's, uh,
1:57
Speaker 1: 44 years ago. Well, let's just go back to Al
2:00
Speaker 1: Gore in 1992. He made that the big issue of
2:03
Speaker 1: the campaign. Remember, it's all going to kill us. Water
2:06
Speaker 1: is going to come up. There's an ABC News report
2:08
Speaker 1: from the early 2000s showing Manhattan would be underwater by now. Remember,
2:14
Speaker 1: Miami Beach was going to be underwater by now. So again,
2:19
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some climate change, but it's not going
2:21
Speaker 1: to kill us. It's not that big a problem. Nothing
2:24
Speaker 1: has changed since Al Gore 34 years ago was screaming
2:28
Speaker 1: about this. Nothing has changed. In fact, the only thing
2:30
Speaker 1: that changed is the glaciers got bigger. The water's receding
2:35
Speaker 1: in some points. So it's forget all of that. It
2:39
Speaker 1: was just, and it's not working on people. People aren't
2:41
Speaker 1: buying this. You can't tell them for 40 years, we're
2:43
Speaker 1: all going to have died in two seconds. It doesn't
2:46
Speaker 1: work after a while. So they gave up on climate change.
2:48
Speaker 1: The new hoax is AI is going to kill us all. Now, uh,
2:55
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you got these AI heads coming
2:57
Speaker 1: out saying this, that we must control it, put guardrails in.
3:02
Speaker 1: We must slow it down. We must do something about it.
3:05
Speaker 1: These are the heads of the companies. Trust me, these
3:09
Speaker 1: heads of AI companies are not the noble people that
3:13
Speaker 1: they're making themselves out to be. They're not the great
3:16
Speaker 1: saints they're pretending to be. And why would an industry,
3:19
Speaker 1: technology industry of any kind, why would they Demand to
3:24
Speaker 1: be regulated. Suddenly call for regulation. There's no industry that
3:28
Speaker 1: would do that. So this is for election time. They're
3:32
Speaker 1: going to try to make this the big issue. This
3:34
Speaker 1: is the new climate change. AI is going to kill
3:36
Speaker 1: us all, and only the Democrats can save you from this.
3:40
Speaker 1: And it's President Trump that will let AI kill you
3:43
Speaker 1: at any moment. First it was climate change, and first
3:46
Speaker 1: you were going to burn up, drown. Now it's AI
3:48
Speaker 1: is going to kill you somehow. Well, this was all...
3:53
Speaker 1: very carefully coordinated. Barack Obama, the ringleader of this coordination,
3:58
Speaker 1: the first big AI guy that came out and said this,
4:02
Speaker 1: very close to Barack Obama. Well, wait a minute, there
4:05
Speaker 1: was a whistleblower who put out a statement. Yeah, he
4:09
Speaker 1: checked into this whistleblower. He'd only been in the AI
4:12
Speaker 1: business two months. He was 23 years old. He just
4:15
Speaker 1: got there a few weeks ago. But it was a good,
4:18
Speaker 1: when you organize a campaign, a political campaigning That's how
4:23
Speaker 1: you do it. You start with a whistleblower. You have
4:25
Speaker 1: him put something out. You have the head of the
4:27
Speaker 1: company jump in. Now, why would the other companies, these
4:30
Speaker 1: four or five AI heads, why would they all jump in? Well,
4:34
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of motives. One is, why would they
4:38
Speaker 1: want to be reg? Why would they want government to
4:40
Speaker 1: step in? Why would they want regulations? Well, one reason
4:42
Speaker 1: is these four companies totally dominate AI right now. It's
4:46
Speaker 1: all theirs right now. If the government steps in with
4:49
Speaker 1: all the red tape and the regulation, it'll keep everybody
4:51
Speaker 1: else out. So these guys, these companies have already taken
4:56
Speaker 1: over and completely dominated AI. So they're looking to close
5:00
Speaker 1: the gate so nobody else can come in to prevent
5:02
Speaker 1: any future competition. That's why they want all this stuff. Now,
5:07
Speaker 1: think about it for a second. What are they calling for?
5:10
Speaker 1: To slow down. We have to slow down. Well, they
5:14
Speaker 1: could just slow down. These four guys run the AI world.
5:18
Speaker 1: You want to slow down? Go slow down. Who's stopping you?
5:21
Speaker 1: You're all working together. You're all arm and arm, you guys.
5:24
Speaker 1: If you need to slow down, slow down. You don't
5:26
Speaker 1: need the government. You don't need Chuck Schumer to do
5:29
Speaker 1: it for you. So it's all a PSYOP operation. Now,
5:36
Speaker 1: who's involved with these AI companies? Who's running this PSYOP operation? Well,
5:41
Speaker 1: if you look at the names who are involved here,
5:45
Speaker 1: guess who it turns out to be? The same former
5:47
Speaker 1: CIA guys who launched the Russia hoax. who covered up
5:51
Speaker 1: the Hunter laptop. It's those guys that are all involved
5:54
Speaker 1: with these AI companies running this PSYOP. Anthropic is loaded
5:59
Speaker 1: with CIA operatives, the same ones that were involved in
6:02
Speaker 1: the Russia hoax. So this is a big propaganda. It's
6:06
Speaker 1: not about safety. This is not about safety. This is
6:08
Speaker 1: about control. They're trying to get the government to shut
6:12
Speaker 1: everybody else out, close the gates, make too much red
6:16
Speaker 1: tape for anybody else to get in the game. They're
6:19
Speaker 1: talking about the danger of it. Well, President Trump is
6:22
Speaker 1: right about one thing. The danger is if we don't
6:24
Speaker 1: lead in AI, AI could be the future. It could
6:28
Speaker 1: be like nuclear weapons. In other words, whoever has all
6:30
Speaker 1: the nuclear weapons is the superpower. Well, it's going to
6:34
Speaker 1: be the same with AI. Whoever is the leader in AI,
6:37
Speaker 1: totally dominant in AI, will control the world. So if
6:40
Speaker 1: we tried to shut down AI, that would mean China
6:44
Speaker 1: would be the ones with all the AI control and
6:47
Speaker 1: all the AI power. You don't want that to happen.
6:50
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on this. Now, it's an interesting
6:52
Speaker 1: hoax they've tried. Again, Obama was carefully coordinating this. These
6:57
Speaker 1: AI guys, especially the first one to speak up, very,
7:01
Speaker 1: very close to Obama. Big, big donors, very close to him.
7:05
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on this PSYOP operation. Let's see
7:08
Speaker 1: if it works. Let's see if they get caught. Let's
7:11
Speaker 1: see if the public is gullible this time. The fake news,
7:14
Speaker 1: of course, will jump in and try to back up
7:17
Speaker 1: these hoaxers, but we'll see. Mike Johnson trying to be
7:20
Speaker 1: the voice of reason in the House.
7:23
Speaker 3: We do not want to jump in. The reflex of
7:26
Speaker 3: legislative bodies is to cover things up with red tape
7:30
Speaker 3: and in hyper-regulation. If you do that, then you lose
7:33
Speaker 3: your edge, and that is a national security concern.
7:36
Speaker 1: To the American people. Yeah. Now, again, remember these four
7:39
Speaker 1: AI heads pretending they're so noble and big saints here.
7:43
Speaker 1: Right there, that should set off alarm bells immediately. Here's
7:47
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson again.
7:48
Speaker 3: Obviously, there's a need for guardrails, but there's also a
7:51
Speaker 3: keen need for the industry to self-regulate and self-monitor and.
7:58
Speaker 2: Report to us.
7:59
Speaker 3: And so we're going to be talking about all that.
8:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need some guardrails, put them in. You want
8:03
Speaker 1: to slow down, slow down. Don't slow down too much
8:06
Speaker 1: because you don't want China to take over the world AI-wise. So, uh,
8:11
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. It's going to be a
8:12
Speaker 1: big story in the coming weeks. They're going to try
8:14
Speaker 1: to use this as the big election issue. We'll see
8:18
Speaker 1: if it works. So, uh, um, Carnegie deli reopens today.
8:25
Speaker 1: The Carnegie deli has been closed for 10 years. It
8:27
Speaker 1: doesn't open until 11 AM. Uh, the old Carnegie deli, uh, for,
8:33
Speaker 1: you know, seventies, eighties, the nineties, it was the, the
8:36
Speaker 1: deli crowd. And then, uh, In the 2000s, add to
8:40
Speaker 1: that the tourists. All of a sudden, all kinds of tourists.
8:42
Speaker 1: You saw those lines. In the heyday of the car,
8:45
Speaker 1: you never saw lines outside. I mean, sometimes it was packed,
8:48
Speaker 1: but you never saw lines down the block. That came
8:50
Speaker 1: in the 2000s when the tourists all discovered it, and
8:54
Speaker 1: it became a big tourist spot. Now it's been closed
8:58
Speaker 1: for 10 years. It reopens today, and this could be,
9:03
Speaker 1: if you get hot on Instagram or TikTok, That's where
9:05
Speaker 1: you really take off. That's where you get the lines
9:07
Speaker 1: for two, three, four blocks. So they've been trying to
9:11
Speaker 1: launch that all over social media, all over Instagram, all
9:14
Speaker 1: over TikTok. Let's see if it works. You know, that
9:18
Speaker 1: kind of stuff can make you the hottest thing in
9:20
Speaker 1: the world. Dot cake. A couple weeks ago, we had
9:23
Speaker 1: a lineup for miles to get it. Right now, there's
9:26
Speaker 1: this bakery downtown, Nolita, north of Little Italy. It's called Rye.
9:35
Speaker 1: a loaf of rye. It's supposed to be the greatest
9:37
Speaker 1: rye bread. A loaf of rye is $ 60.
9:41
Speaker 4: $ 60 a loaf.
9:42
Speaker 1: But again, people lining up. It's all over Instagram. But
9:45
Speaker 1: it's usually something like that. It's usually a special burger,
9:50
Speaker 1: something a little cool for younger people. I don't know
9:53
Speaker 1: if a pastrami sandwich will qualify, but we'll see. We'll
9:56
Speaker 1: see if they can make it take off. It opens today.
9:59
Speaker 1: We'll keep you posted. Emmy Awards last night. I didn't
10:05
Speaker 1: watch it because, first of all, nobody watches the Emmy
10:08
Speaker 1: Awards anymore. Nobody watches television anymore, network television. And streaming,
10:13
Speaker 1: the problem is nobody watches the same show. So as
10:16
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon said, They should call it the Googles, because
10:20
Speaker 1: anybody that's introduced, you don't know who they are, and
10:22
Speaker 1: you've got to Google them to see who they are.
10:25
Speaker 1: But it was Marissa Haggerty. You know why she was
10:29
Speaker 1: the host? She's the producer of the show. She made
10:33
Speaker 1: herself the host. I don't know how, but somehow she
10:36
Speaker 1: ended up producing the Emmy Awards for NBC. The big
10:39
Speaker 1: surprise was Taylor Swift making a cameo.
10:43
Speaker 4: I think what we're going to be looking for is
10:45
Speaker 4: hiding in plain sight.
10:48
Speaker 1: Saccharide, Aries, from the vineyard north or south.
10:54
Speaker 5: What did you just say?
10:55
Speaker 6: I didn't say anything.
11:00
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is listening to this going, geez,
11:02
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I missed this. Oh my God, it sounds
11:04
Speaker 1: like a hell of a show. That was the stupidest
11:07
Speaker 1: Emmy Awards ever. They should just shut this thing down.
11:10
Speaker 1: The funniest thing is they gave an Emmy to Stephen
11:13
Speaker 1: Colbert as the best comedy show. First of all, How
11:17
Speaker 1: does that qualify as a comedy show? It's an angry
11:19
Speaker 1: political agenda show. It's a guy, Trump derangement syndrome, angry
11:26
Speaker 1: political guy, nasty, angry. How does that qualify as a
11:29
Speaker 1: comedy show? Second of all, why would you give an Emmy?
11:33
Speaker 1: The best show was the one that just got canceled
11:35
Speaker 1: for low ratings. The guy was just canceled. He was canceled.
11:40
Speaker 1: They just threw him the hell off CBS because he
11:42
Speaker 1: didn't have any ratings. He got the big Emmy.
11:46
Speaker 7: The thing about these late shows is that besides being
11:48
Speaker 7: a really good, steady job, is that they require so
11:51
Speaker 7: many people that they're a fantastic incubator for young people
11:55
Speaker 7: to come in, to learn to work professionally on a deadline,
11:59
Speaker 7: in cooperation, in collaboration. And that is the future of
12:03
Speaker 7: our business that we have to look after.
12:07
Speaker 1: Does he know that's every company everywhere? Any place you
12:10
Speaker 1: go to work, they're going to teach you how to
12:11
Speaker 1: work on a team, how to meet deadlines. That's every
12:14
Speaker 1: business everywhere. but he's not the brightest guy in the world. So, um, Hey, um, Trump,
12:22
Speaker 1: the midterm, uh, convention. That was a good idea. Have
12:26
Speaker 1: this Republican midterm convention. It was a great idea. So
12:30
Speaker 1: he throws out this, uh, all the one thing after another,
12:33
Speaker 1: it's a long speech hour and 47 minutes, but then
12:36
Speaker 1: he throws out and we'll give every American a check
12:39
Speaker 1: for $ 5, 000. Well, that wasn't even in the script. It
12:41
Speaker 1: wasn't on the teleprompter. He just blurted that out. But, um,
12:46
Speaker 1: And it sounds like Trump's shooting his mouth off. But
12:49
Speaker 1: who knows? Sometimes there's a great strategy to it. So
12:51
Speaker 1: he's got the whole media going nuts. They just latched
12:55
Speaker 1: on to this. They think they can hurt him with that.
12:58
Speaker 1: And they won't let go. We played you the Sunday
13:02
Speaker 1: show things where they're all demanding an answer. What about
13:04
Speaker 1: that $ 5, 000? And it was Mike Johnson or whoever it
13:08
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, I'm here to talk about some
13:09
Speaker 1: other things. I want to know about that $ 5, 000. So
13:11
Speaker 1: they think this is the big key to hurting Trump.
13:15
Speaker 1: So this dirty weasel, George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America,
13:21
Speaker 1: which is no longer like just a fun morning show. It's, again,
13:23
Speaker 1: another angry guy trying to be a political agitator, trying
13:28
Speaker 1: to hurt Trump. So Congressman Lawler is the guest. He's
13:33
Speaker 1: there to talk about all sorts of things, but Stephanopoulos
13:37
Speaker 1: zeroing in on that 5,000, demanding an answer. Now, remember,
13:41
Speaker 1: they never actually want a real answer. They don't want
13:43
Speaker 1: to ask you a question. and then have you at
13:46
Speaker 1: length explain exactly the issue. They're just fishing for a soundbite.
13:53
Speaker 1: That's all they're looking for. They're fishing for a soundbite.
13:56
Speaker 1: And that's why they'll say, here's a question, a yes
13:59
Speaker 1: or no question. It's a yes or no question. Well,
14:02
Speaker 1: every politician should refuse to ever, ever answer a yes
14:06
Speaker 1: or no question. If you won't let me go into
14:08
Speaker 1: some detail and substance, I'm not answering. There's no such
14:11
Speaker 1: thing as a yes or no. So listen to Stephanopoulos
14:14
Speaker 1: fishing for a soundbite trying to trap a lawler. Listen
14:19
Speaker 1: to this exchange this morning. I asked you about the
14:21
Speaker 1: president's $ 5, 000 dividend. Do you support that or not? It's
14:23
Speaker 1: a yes or no question.
14:26
Speaker 8: No, George, it's not a yes or no.
14:27
Speaker 4: Here's the answer.
14:29
Speaker 9: Whether you call it a tax cut, a stimulus, which
14:32
Speaker 9: is what the Biden administration did, and you said that
14:35
Speaker 9: was the greatest anti-poverty program since the New Deal when
14:39
Speaker 9: Biden passed the stimulus check. So obviously you don't have
14:41
Speaker 9: a problem when they're handing money back to the American
14:44
Speaker 9: people through a stimulus check. Or you call it a dividend.
14:48
Speaker 10: Yeah.
14:49
Speaker 1: And Stephanopoulos never complained about the Obama phone, never complained
14:52
Speaker 1: about the Biden stimulus check, never complained about forgiving the
14:56
Speaker 1: student loans, which nobody had the power to do. But
14:58
Speaker 1: listen to his tone of voice. If you're an interviewer
15:02
Speaker 1: trying to get some answers, you ask a question like this.
15:06
Speaker 1: You say, let me ask you about that $ 5, 000. What
15:08
Speaker 1: is the.
15:10
Speaker 1: That's not how Stephanopoulos talks. It's always, what about that?
15:13
Speaker 1: He's like a snarling little pit bull. Listen to his voice.
15:19
Speaker 1: I asked you about the president's $ 5, 000 dividend.
15:21
Speaker 12: Hold on.
15:21
Speaker 10: Do you support that or not?
15:22
Speaker 12: It's a good question.
15:23
Speaker 1: Do you support it? Yes or no?
15:24
Speaker 4: Yes or no?
15:27
Speaker 1: Not even pretending to be legitimate. Just the most crooked,
15:30
Speaker 1: dirty little weasel at Stephanopoulos, this democratic operative.
15:36
Speaker 8: So.
15:38
Speaker 1: Just ridiculous. Hey, those two kids, the man and the
15:44
Speaker 1: woman who are very young, they were sitting on the
15:47
Speaker 1: subway track. Nobody knows what this was all about. Nobody
15:52
Speaker 1: still knows what this was all about. Some think they
15:55
Speaker 1: just may have been so disoriented. It's in an area
15:58
Speaker 1: where there's a lot of bars and a lot of clubs.
16:00
Speaker 1: Maybe they were just drinking and the train operator said
16:06
Speaker 1: as he approached, it was impossible to stop the train
16:09
Speaker 1: in time. They didn't see him in enough time to
16:10
Speaker 1: stop the train. But the train operator said it looked
16:13
Speaker 1: like they were laughing as if they really didn't even
16:17
Speaker 1: understand the danger or where they were. Investigators are looking
16:21
Speaker 1: in to see if they were so intoxicated they just
16:24
Speaker 1: didn't understand what they were doing. There was no suicide
16:27
Speaker 1: note of any kind. That's not been ruled out as
16:31
Speaker 1: the motive, but nobody knows yet. They're going to keep investigating. Hey,
16:35
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to. We'll get to
16:36
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center. We'll get to the, it's not a
16:38
Speaker 1: good Supreme Court decision. We'll get to crazy Gavin Newsom
16:42
Speaker 1: and more coming up. It's Mark Simone here. Three hours now,
16:45
Speaker 1: 9 to noon every day. 9 to noon every day
16:48
Speaker 1: here on 710WOR. The Mark Simone Show. 9 till noon weekdays.
16:55
Speaker 1: More Mark.
16:58
Speaker 8: 710WOR.
16:58
Speaker 1: Well, hey, Gavin Newsom. Remember, he was the frontrunner. It
17:05
Speaker 1: was the big frontrunner for 2028. Remember we told you
17:08
Speaker 1: back then there's always one of these frontrunners two and
17:12
Speaker 1: a half years out. It's always some pretty boy. It
17:14
Speaker 1: was John Edwards. It was Gary Hart. And whoever that
17:18
Speaker 1: frontrunner is always fizzles out and is never actually the candidate.
17:23
Speaker 1: So that happened to Gavin Newsom, the pretty boy, the
17:26
Speaker 1: empty suit. And he peaked way too far out. That
17:29
Speaker 1: was 2020. It's 2028. So it Beginning of the year,
17:34
Speaker 1: he was already peaking. Way too soon. And he just
17:39
Speaker 1: faded away. Remember how hot this guy was eight months ago?
17:43
Speaker 1: He was all people were talking about. Now you haven't
17:45
Speaker 1: heard his name in weeks. But so desperate, he actually
17:49
Speaker 1: went on CNN to reach their 200,000 viewers. And it's
17:55
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper. They can't just do an interview in the studio.
17:58
Speaker 1: It has to show them fly fishing in Montana. You
18:03
Speaker 1: wonder why they have such low ratings at CNN. Does
18:05
Speaker 1: anybody really want to see Jake Tapper fly fishing? Jake
18:09
Speaker 1: Tapper with those big stupid rubber boots up to his chest? Anyway,
18:14
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom reveals in the interview that, as they said,
18:18
Speaker 1: what if Kamala Harris runs? Well, I won't run if
18:23
Speaker 1: she runs. I wouldn't do that to her. In other words,
18:26
Speaker 1: that's how weak he is as a candidate right now.
18:27
Speaker 1: He's even afraid of goofy Kamala Harris, so. He's making
18:31
Speaker 1: it clear he's not running. He said if she runs,
18:34
Speaker 1: and she most likely will, not that she'll get the nomination,
18:37
Speaker 1: but she will try. He says he will not run
18:39
Speaker 1: if she runs. He said, I wouldn't do that to her.
18:42
Speaker 1: It would be mutually assured destruction. Mostly of him, though.
18:47
Speaker 1: Newsom also said he would only run if all four
18:52
Speaker 1: of his children agree. Teenagers, but all four children would
18:58
Speaker 1: have to okay it. So in other words, He's given
19:00
Speaker 1: himself a lot of outs. He's given himself a lot
19:03
Speaker 1: of excuses not to run. Hey, Mitch McConnell returned to
19:06
Speaker 1: the Senate yesterday. It says McConnell makes dramatic return to
19:11
Speaker 1: the Senate. Well, I don't think it was that dramatic.
19:14
Speaker 1: He was in a wheelchair. They wheeled him in. He
19:18
Speaker 1: looked like Biden's father. I mean, he looked really old
19:21
Speaker 1: in this wheelchair. They wheeled him in. He's 84 years old.
19:25
Speaker 1: Been gone for three months. You know, they... I don't
19:28
Speaker 1: know what it is about this Senate where nobody could leave.
19:30
Speaker 1: You know, the people in there, they're 85, 90. You
19:33
Speaker 1: got Bernie Sanders. You got Liz Warren. It's like a
19:37
Speaker 1: ridiculous old age home. I mean, it's just crazy. You're 84.
19:42
Speaker 1: You're almost dead. You're in a wheelchair. When do you retire?
19:46
Speaker 1: I mean, what would be a good time to retire?
19:50
Speaker 1: Maybe long before this. So I don't know why they
19:53
Speaker 1: won't leave. I mean, it's power. It's influence. It's money.
19:57
Speaker 1: It's all sorts of things. But you'll never get this
20:00
Speaker 1: guy out of there. Hey, we've been talking about Harry
20:03
Speaker 1: and Meghan. They returned to England because they could get
20:07
Speaker 1: nothing going here. Nothing going here. It started off with
20:11
Speaker 1: a Netflix deal, a Pandora, a Spotify deal, and then
20:14
Speaker 1: that all bombed and fizzled out. And the last three,
20:17
Speaker 1: four years, they're totally out of work. These idiots, they
20:19
Speaker 1: got nothing to do. They go back to England where
20:23
Speaker 1: they figure they could get something going there. You know,
20:25
Speaker 1: if you're from the Royal family, well, that's a much
20:27
Speaker 1: bigger deal in England. So maybe the British will be
20:31
Speaker 1: more welcoming. Well, not at all. Not at all. They've
20:36
Speaker 1: been there like two weeks. The first week, the Prince,
20:39
Speaker 1: I mean, the King, King Charles puts out a letter
20:42
Speaker 1: saying they have nothing to do with this. They have
20:43
Speaker 1: no connection to the royal family. They're just private citizens.
20:47
Speaker 1: He actually sends out a letter. It's basically saying don't
20:49
Speaker 1: pay attention to them. Don't do anything for them. The
20:53
Speaker 1: letter was sent to everybody, leaked to the press. So
20:56
Speaker 1: this week, there's a Saturday Night Live in the UK.
21:00
Speaker 1: They got their own Saturday Night Live. It's a big
21:02
Speaker 1: show over there. It's actually bigger over there than the
21:04
Speaker 1: show is here. So, The big opening sketch on Saturday
21:09
Speaker 1: Night Live, UK version, was just ridiculing Harry and Meghan,
21:13
Speaker 1: just making fun of them, their Netflix nonsense, making fun
21:17
Speaker 1: of her stupid lifestyle brand. In fact, there's a scene
21:22
Speaker 1: where Harry comes home and she buys him an ice
21:28
Speaker 1: tray as a gift. And she says, it's ice. I
21:33
Speaker 1: made it myself. I can give you the recipe. I'm
21:35
Speaker 1: a whiz in the kitchen. And then Harry says, it's true.
21:39
Speaker 1: She hires the best cooks. So they're just being ridiculed
21:42
Speaker 1: left and right. The king put out that letter. Expect
21:45
Speaker 1: them to leave pretty soon and come back. You'll probably
21:48
Speaker 1: see them back here, I'd say, by spring. By spring
21:52
Speaker 1: they'll be back. So, hey, you know, I heard about
21:55
Speaker 1: Don Jr. Now here's the problem. Don Jr., Donald Trump Jr.,
21:58
Speaker 1: gets married to this Bettina, whatever the hell her name is.
22:03
Speaker 1: And she's kind of a goofy Palm Beach wannabe society type.
22:08
Speaker 1: The problem is, for Don Jr., you don't want to
22:13
Speaker 1: become like the next Harry and Meghan, like just a
22:16
Speaker 1: silly couple with nothing to do. So they had a wedding.
22:21
Speaker 1: It was kind of private. It was only 50 people.
22:23
Speaker 1: It was pretty much just family, just immediate family. And
22:27
Speaker 1: it was on an island in Aruba or somewhere in
22:31
Speaker 1: the Caribbean. but it turns out it was paid for
22:34
Speaker 1: by some friend of theirs, a Russian oligarch. He paid
22:37
Speaker 1: for the wedding. Now, of course the fake news, uh,
22:41
Speaker 1: tries to gin up this story, tries to make it
22:43
Speaker 1: look like a more, it's shady, but they're trying to
22:45
Speaker 1: make it look more shady than it is.
22:47
Speaker 10: I don't know.
22:48
Speaker 1: Is it shady? If somebody pays for your wedding, if
22:50
Speaker 1: you have a close friend who pays for your wedding,
22:54
Speaker 1: who's supposed to pay the bride's family? Of course, uh,
22:58
Speaker 1: And the wife, the woman he married, from a wealthy family,
23:01
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess they didn't want to pay
23:03
Speaker 1: for it. But if somebody pays for your wedding, a
23:06
Speaker 1: good friend, is that shady? It sounds a little stupid,
23:10
Speaker 1: but I don't know. But so the media trying to
23:12
Speaker 1: gin this up into just more than it is. And
23:15
Speaker 1: they said a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin. Now,
23:19
Speaker 1: this guy has no ties to Putin. He's a Russian billionaire.
23:23
Speaker 1: Every billionaire in Russia knows Putin. They've met Putin. They've
23:26
Speaker 1: made contributions. They've been in some event where they shook
23:31
Speaker 1: his hand. Same thing in America. Every billionaire in America
23:35
Speaker 1: knows the president, knows the senator, because they've written checks.
23:39
Speaker 1: They make donations. They've been to events. They've shaken his hand.
23:43
Speaker 1: They've taken a picture. But they don't have any ties
23:45
Speaker 1: to him. They don't work with the president. You know,
23:48
Speaker 1: if they call the president, probably take the call, but
23:50
Speaker 1: somebody has to explain to the president who the guy
23:52
Speaker 1: is again. So, again, he's a Russian billionaire. I'm sure
23:56
Speaker 1: he's met Putin. I'm sure he's... taking a picture with Putin,
23:59
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have any ties to Putin. He doesn't
24:01
Speaker 1: work with Putin. But Bettina Trump defends it, saying, Our
24:07
Speaker 1: dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of
24:11
Speaker 1: celebrations for us after our wedding. And I don't know
24:15
Speaker 1: what the deal with Umar is, but, hey, Umar may
24:18
Speaker 1: actually own the resort where they did it. He may
24:20
Speaker 1: own the venue, and he might have paid for it
24:23
Speaker 1: just to get a ton of publicity for the venue.
24:25
Speaker 1: That's possible. It's more likely something like that. Hey, we
24:28
Speaker 1: got a lot to get to. We'll take some calls
24:30
Speaker 1: coming up. Don't forget, it's three hours now, nine to
24:33
Speaker 1: noon every day. Mark Simone here on 710WOR. Live from
24:38
Speaker 1: the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone. Well, hey, we'll take
24:45
Speaker 1: some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
24:47
Speaker 8: 800-321-0710.
24:47
Speaker 1: Hey, we were talking about this yesterday. Shopping malls trying
24:49
Speaker 1: to make a comeback. Uh, many of them, uh, well,
25:00
Speaker 1: there's two, uh, two roads you can go down. You
25:02
Speaker 1: try to be the senior citizen mall. Basically that's, you
25:06
Speaker 1: see a lot of them. It depends on the area
25:08
Speaker 1: you're in certain areas, you know, it's a senior citizen
25:11
Speaker 1: sort of an area. So they all come to the mall, uh,
25:14
Speaker 1: to walk around inside. That's basically a big treadmill for
25:17
Speaker 1: senior citizens. You know, they get their exercise. So a
25:21
Speaker 1: lot of those malls are going to put in stuff
25:23
Speaker 1: for seniors. They'll put in doctor's offices. They'll put in
25:26
Speaker 1: a movie theater. They'll put in senior-type restaurants and stuff
25:30
Speaker 1: like that. So it's a big place where they can
25:31
Speaker 1: hang out. Now, the other route you go is for
25:34
Speaker 1: younger people. You put in all kinds of games, fun,
25:39
Speaker 1: water park, whatever, that kind of stuff. But believe it
25:42
Speaker 1: or not, this is actually working. And shopping malls are
25:46
Speaker 1: making a huge comeback. In fact, when it comes to
25:49
Speaker 1: commercial real estate, mall value is shooting up a lot.
25:54
Speaker 1: In fact, it's the top performer in commercial real estate.
25:57
Speaker 1: The value of malls shot up 13% in the past year,
26:00
Speaker 1: and a lot of it is Generation Z, younger people
26:05
Speaker 1: who suddenly like malls again, and they figured out the
26:08
Speaker 1: formula for them. Generation Z, they're not big into shopping
26:12
Speaker 1: for clothes. They don't need a Neiman Marcus in the mall.
26:16
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything to them, but... What they're putting in, again,
26:20
Speaker 1: lots of games and lots of amusement stuff. They're putting
26:24
Speaker 1: in water parks, all that sort of stuff, movie theaters,
26:28
Speaker 1: and food courts. Now, it turns out younger people, Generation Z,
26:33
Speaker 1: they love food courts. You know, if you're in the
26:35
Speaker 1: middle of Manhattan, we don't need a food court. Look
26:38
Speaker 1: where I am right now. Within a block of here,
26:40
Speaker 1: like 87 of the best things you could eat, just
26:43
Speaker 1: right around here. Anything, any fast food, any chain, anything
26:47
Speaker 1: you want is right here. But if you're out in
26:49
Speaker 1: the suburbs, you don't have that all in one place.
26:52
Speaker 1: So younger people, they like going to the food court.
26:54
Speaker 1: Let's say there's four of them or eight of them.
26:56
Speaker 1: If they go to the food court, you don't have
26:59
Speaker 1: to fight about where you want to go eat because
27:01
Speaker 1: in the food court, you got every choice in the
27:03
Speaker 1: world right there. So each person can get whatever food
27:05
Speaker 1: they want from whatever place. So that's helping malls take off.
27:09
Speaker 1: You know, the Mall of America, Minnesota, 40 million visitors
27:13
Speaker 1: a year. It's got 50 restaurants in there. You know
27:18
Speaker 1: the one over in New Jersey, American Dream, 40 million
27:21
Speaker 1: visitors a year. But again, they got indoor ski slopes.
27:24
Speaker 1: They got a water park. It's actually the largest indoor
27:28
Speaker 1: water park in America. And then lots of restaurants and stores.
27:32
Speaker 1: So even Simon Property Group, that's the biggest mall company.
27:37
Speaker 1: Their stock soaring. It's way up for the year. It's
27:43
Speaker 1: outpaced the S & P 500. So malls making a comeback. Hey,
27:46
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. 60 Minutes.
27:56
Speaker 1: You know, this Barry Weiss took over CBS News, and
27:59
Speaker 1: she's redoing 60 Minutes. And a whole controversy broke up.
28:04
Speaker 1: Everybody was yelling and screaming, all the fake news, all
28:07
Speaker 1: the left wing. She's destroying 60 Minutes. She's ruining the
28:11
Speaker 1: great 60 Minutes. You know, it's the number one show
28:13
Speaker 1: on television. If you go back to the eighties and nineties,
28:16
Speaker 1: number one show on television. Well, the new season debut,
28:20
Speaker 1: and it turns out what she's doing to 60 minutes
28:23
Speaker 1: is bringing it back to being 60 minutes. You know,
28:25
Speaker 1: for like the last 10 years, it's been a Trump
28:28
Speaker 1: derangement syndrome for an hour. And the whole hour of
28:31
Speaker 1: 60 minutes was, what can we do to damage Trump?
28:34
Speaker 1: That was every piece, every word, everything. So she's taken
28:37
Speaker 1: it back to what 60 minutes was supposed to be.
28:40
Speaker 1: And it was what it used to be, which was
28:43
Speaker 1: a couple of things. They do an interesting, uh, you know,
28:45
Speaker 1: like a 10 minute documentary on something very interesting, a
28:48
Speaker 1: hero or something. And then they would do the 10
28:51
Speaker 1: minute investigative report, you know, with the undercover camera, somebody
28:55
Speaker 1: somewhere committing some fraud, that kind of stuff. Then they
28:58
Speaker 1: would do a sports piece or a, you know, a
29:01
Speaker 1: show business piece. So the new season debuted and that's
29:04
Speaker 1: exactly what they did. First piece, Nora O'Donnell interviews that
29:08
Speaker 1: pilot that was shot down in Iran. Remember we, the
29:12
Speaker 1: pilot was lost somewhere in Iran and we had to,
29:15
Speaker 1: have this incredible rescue mission. So they did a 10
29:18
Speaker 1: minute piece on him and he told the story and
29:20
Speaker 1: it was so dramatic. It was an amazing, amazing story
29:24
Speaker 1: to see the guy, meet the guy and have him
29:26
Speaker 1: talk about what happened behind enemy. So that was great.
29:29
Speaker 1: Then the next piece was undercover with the undercover camera again.
29:33
Speaker 1: And that's what 60 minutes was supposed to be about.
29:37
Speaker 1: And they were investigating guys that try to sell pardons
29:42
Speaker 1: with the undercover camera. And that's exactly what the old
29:46
Speaker 1: 60 minutes was. And then they kind of redid the stopwatch,
29:50
Speaker 1: updated a little. I remember behind the, behind the correspondent,
29:54
Speaker 1: they used to have books. You'd see some books, bookcase. Now, yeah,
29:58
Speaker 1: You see screens, flat screens behind him. So it's 59 seasons,
30:03
Speaker 1: 59 seasons. So it looks like it's back better than ever,
30:08
Speaker 1: restored to what it's supposed to be. Let's take some calls.
30:10
Speaker 1: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?
30:15
Speaker 13: Oh, it's beautiful here. Good morning, Mark.
30:17
Speaker 1: How you doing, Kathy?
30:19
Speaker 4: You have the, I'm doing, let me look.
30:24
Speaker 13: I'm doing great. You have the best listeners ever. I'm
30:28
Speaker 13: thinking of the listener who called over and over again.
30:31
Speaker 13: You're very patient with him about Omar and her brother.
30:37
Speaker 13: And you, he just called a couple of days ago
30:40
Speaker 13: and you kept on saying, calm down. It's going to get,
30:43
Speaker 13: so has he not called in to say you're right?
30:45
Speaker 13: They are handling this.
30:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are handling it. It takes time for these cases,
30:49
Speaker 1: but she will be thrown out of the country. They
30:51
Speaker 1: are currently investigating.
30:52
Speaker 13: Well, I don't know if I'll believe that far, but
30:55
Speaker 13: I just thought, well, it will be, it will be
30:57
Speaker 13: immigration fraud.
30:58
Speaker 1: They have said clearly that she did marry her brother
31:01
Speaker 1: to get him into the country and to get herself
31:03
Speaker 1: into the country. And, uh, That's immigration fraud, so they
31:06
Speaker 1: probably will be able to deport her.
31:09
Speaker 13: Well, I hope he's listening. I hope he calls in
31:11
Speaker 13: and says thank you.
31:12
Speaker 1: Oh, he'll just panic about the next thing. You see,
31:15
Speaker 1: did you ever live in New York?
31:16
Speaker 8: Yes.
31:18
Speaker 14: Oh, okay.
31:19
Speaker 1: Well, you know, there are a lot of people in
31:21
Speaker 1: New York. Some people. There's a certain segment in New
31:23
Speaker 1: York that must be mad at all times. They have
31:25
Speaker 1: to be mad. They have to be worried. Everything is wrong.
31:28
Speaker 1: They've got to be upset. The same thing happened with
31:31
Speaker 1: Cuomo when they said, don't worry, he's going to get
31:33
Speaker 1: chased out of office. The attorney general will get them,
31:36
Speaker 1: and they just yell, when? When? What's taking so long?
31:39
Speaker 1: They have nothing else to do, so they just get
31:42
Speaker 1: all riled up about this stuff.
31:44
Speaker 13: Well, remember, all these listeners that are calling in on iHeart,
31:49
Speaker 13: we live there.
31:51
Speaker 4: We are expatriates.
31:52
Speaker 13: We just moved away, but we are part of you,
31:55
Speaker 13: so just always remember that. It's not like we're hanging
31:59
Speaker 13: out here just loving that southern living.
32:02
Speaker 1: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Let me just warn
32:06
Speaker 1: you people before you move away. You know, you think, well,
32:08
Speaker 1: move to North Carolina. Well, move to Florida. You're going
32:11
Speaker 1: to miss New York. You notice how many, we have
32:13
Speaker 1: lots of listeners around the country who have never lived here,
32:15
Speaker 1: but you'll notice we have lots of listeners around the
32:18
Speaker 1: country who were here and now they still listen every
32:21
Speaker 1: morning because that's what I'm just telling you. If you
32:24
Speaker 1: think about leaving New York, you are going to miss
32:26
Speaker 1: it so much. You know, if you go to Florida,
32:29
Speaker 1: they're all listening to the New York radio stations. They
32:32
Speaker 1: all get the New York Post every day. You know,
32:35
Speaker 1: if an area was so great, when you move there,
32:38
Speaker 1: you'd be listening to the local radio station. You'd be
32:41
Speaker 1: reading the local paper. But they really, really miss New York.
32:45
Speaker 1: It's a big thing to give up. So think about
32:47
Speaker 1: it before you leave. Hey, that crazy Mom Donnie, he's
32:51
Speaker 1: always making speeches. He's suing the federal government. He's doing
32:55
Speaker 1: all kinds of things except his job. There's a terrible
32:59
Speaker 1: homeless encampment. On the east side of New York, it's
33:03
Speaker 1: not the Upper East Side. It's under the FDR, 23rd Street,
33:08
Speaker 1: under the FDR. It's a homeless encampment that is so
33:11
Speaker 1: huge and so vast. Now, I'll give them credit. They
33:14
Speaker 1: did try to clean it out. The city cleaned it out.
33:16
Speaker 1: They chased all the homeless out. But residents say it
33:20
Speaker 1: left a stomach-turning mess. of garbage, of luggage, of chairs,
33:26
Speaker 1: of all kinds, coolers, piles of trash, needles, feces, all
33:32
Speaker 1: kinds of crap. 23rd Street under the FDR. They cleaned
33:36
Speaker 1: it out. But what they do is they clean it
33:38
Speaker 1: out and they leave. Now, they think all the homeless
33:40
Speaker 1: will end up coming back in a week. But again,
33:44
Speaker 1: Mamdani's busy suing ICE, suing the federal government with all
33:47
Speaker 1: this other stuff. We'll get the Legionnaire's disease. They found
33:52
Speaker 1: it at Yankee Stadium. He claims he's on top of it.
33:54
Speaker 8: We continue to encourage any New Yorker who has experienced
33:59
Speaker 8: flu-like symptoms, be they cough, fever, difficulty breathing, and that
34:03
Speaker 8: they live or work or have visited the area to
34:06
Speaker 8: contact a health care provider.
34:07
Speaker 1: All right, but do something about the Legionnaires. It was
34:12
Speaker 1: even found at Yankee Stadium. It was found in the Bronx.
34:14
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium has cleaned up the cooling tower where it existed.
34:18
Speaker 1: But that's what Mom Donnie has to do, order an
34:20
Speaker 1: immediate cleaning of every cooling tower everywhere in the city. Hey,
34:25
Speaker 1: we got a lot coming up. I'm here every day,
34:26
Speaker 1: 9 to noon, three hours now. And then, of course,
34:29
Speaker 1: at noon, it's Buck and Clay. They do a great
34:31
Speaker 1: show every day at noon. Then you got the most
34:33
Speaker 1: listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity at 3.
34:37
Speaker 1: You got Jesse Kelly at 6. You got the very
34:40
Speaker 1: funny Jimmy Fallon every night, 9 to midnight. It's all here.
34:44
Speaker 1: On 710WOR. Marks them all, Mr.
34:48
Speaker 4: New York.
34:49
Speaker 11: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon.
34:54
Speaker 1: On 710WOR. Well, the high today, 72. That's it, just 72.
35:01
Speaker 1: It'll get back near 80 for the rest of the week.
35:04
Speaker 1: But this is the final week of summer. A week
35:08
Speaker 1: from today is the final day of summer. Yeah. We'll
35:11
Speaker 1: be back after the news. Two more hours to go.
35:13
Speaker 1: Coming up on 710WOR.
35:14
Speaker 4: Mr.
35:14
Speaker 1: New York. Mark Simone.
35:21
Speaker 4: 710WOR.
35:22
Speaker 1: Well, welcome to hour number two. That's right. We start
35:26
Speaker 1: at 9 a.m.
35:27
Speaker 4: Now.
35:27
Speaker 1: This is hour number two. A lot to get to
35:31
Speaker 1: this hour. We'll get to Howard Stern. We'll get to
35:34
Speaker 1: Pierce Brosnan. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie and more.
35:38
Speaker 1: Price of oil, let me just check, 103. $ 103 a barrel.
35:43
Speaker 1: It's very high. $ 103 a barrel. It's very high. That's
35:47
Speaker 1: the American oil, WTI. The Brent crude, the rest of
35:51
Speaker 1: the world uses. $ 107. Very, very, very high. That's a spike.
35:56
Speaker 1: That's a big spike. Now, the reason for that is
35:59
Speaker 1: Iran has brought back the Houthis. You know, they have Hezbollah.
36:05
Speaker 1: They have the Houthis. They have all these terrorist organizations.
36:08
Speaker 1: They fund, finance. And the Houthis are back. Iran funding them.
36:13
Speaker 1: Who knows who else is helping them. But the Houthis
36:16
Speaker 1: have taken action. Iran doesn't have much military left. Can't
36:22
Speaker 1: do much. They got a missile or two, a drone
36:24
Speaker 1: or two. But the Houthis may have been supplied by somebody.
36:29
Speaker 1: And the Houthis hit a Saudi pipeline and knocked out
36:33
Speaker 1: a Saudi pipeline. It's out of business. That pipeline carried
36:35
Speaker 1: 7 million barrels a day. to the port of Yambu,
36:39
Speaker 1: which is on the Red Sea. So the Houthis hit
36:43
Speaker 1: the pipeline, knocking that out. They're also trying to seize
36:48
Speaker 1: control of the Red Sea. Iran-backed Houthis controlling the coastline
36:54
Speaker 1: now of the Red Sea. So that's the other way
36:56
Speaker 1: for oil to get out. So the Strait of Hormuz,
36:59
Speaker 1: not actually closed. We're getting about 4 million barrels a
37:02
Speaker 1: day out of there. It's supposed to be 20. It's
37:05
Speaker 1: slightly open, but the Red Sea, which is the other
37:07
Speaker 1: way out, the Houthis have tightened their grip. They grabbed
37:11
Speaker 1: a hold of that shipping route. That's why the price
37:13
Speaker 1: of oil suddenly spiked, and that could give Iran a
37:17
Speaker 1: tremendous advantage in the war. Houthi armed forces boasted of
37:21
Speaker 1: their gains and vowed an escalation for escalation and declared
37:27
Speaker 1: that they'll allow maritime navigation except for the Saudis, and
37:32
Speaker 1: that's who we need for the oil issue. Saudi Prince
37:38
Speaker 1: Mohammed bin Salman, he called President Trump twice to urge
37:42
Speaker 1: him to launch U.S. strikes against the Houthis. Now, I
37:44
Speaker 1: don't know what the president is up to, but so
37:48
Speaker 1: far he's not taken any action against the Houthis. Saudi's
37:53
Speaker 1: the world's largest oil exporter. You don't want them cut off.
37:57
Speaker 1: And right now the president is not doing anything at
38:00
Speaker 1: the moment. So what we need, obviously, is just to
38:03
Speaker 1: wipe out these Houthis. Just wipe them out. Just kill
38:07
Speaker 1: them all if you have to. Just blow up everything
38:09
Speaker 1: they have now. I don't know why the president's holding
38:12
Speaker 1: back on this. It could be maybe he just wants
38:15
Speaker 1: to wait for the midterms to be. I don't know.
38:18
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're Iran, no matter what happens,
38:22
Speaker 1: even if the Iran strategy is wait for the midterms,
38:25
Speaker 1: stall and pray the Democrats win the midterms. But here's
38:29
Speaker 1: your problem if you're Iran. If the Democrats win the midterms,
38:33
Speaker 1: They don't take office till January. So from early November
38:37
Speaker 1: till early January, that's two months. So I'd imagine if
38:41
Speaker 1: the Democrats win that what President Trump would do in
38:45
Speaker 1: those two months is just bomb the hell out of Iran,
38:49
Speaker 1: just completely knock out everything before the Democrats take office.
38:54
Speaker 1: Hooties as well. So it's probably not your best strategy
38:59
Speaker 1: waiting till November. It's probably not going to help you. Well,
39:02
Speaker 1: hopefully the president does something. He is mad at Saudi Arabia.
39:06
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what's going on there. But again,
39:09
Speaker 1: the Saudi head calling him frantically. President still doing nothing.
39:14
Speaker 1: And apparently, he's getting ready to release the Saudi Arabia
39:18
Speaker 1: 9-11 files. Many people believe the Saudis either had something
39:23
Speaker 1: to do with the 9-11 attacks or knew about it
39:25
Speaker 1: ahead of time and didn't warn us. But there are
39:29
Speaker 1: files on that. It's about 3,000 pages. They've been hushed
39:33
Speaker 1: up by Bush, by Clinton, by everybody's been hushing these
39:37
Speaker 1: things up. Well, actually, it wouldn't be Clinton. It would
39:39
Speaker 1: be Bush. It would be Obama. It would be Biden
39:42
Speaker 1: hushing this all up. But President Trump talking about releasing it,
39:46
Speaker 1: maybe that's too... Push the Saudis to do something. There
39:51
Speaker 1: was a memo, September 2010 FBI memo in there that
39:55
Speaker 1: says two employees to a terrorist had a past connection
40:02
Speaker 1: to Saudis into the hijack. Two Saudi employees connected to
40:06
Speaker 1: the hijack. I don't know. It doesn't it sounds pretty flimsy,
40:10
Speaker 1: but they like to release files. It could be like
40:13
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. You know, we're all waiting for those
40:15
Speaker 1: to wait till you get these Epstein files. It was
40:17
Speaker 1: basically nothing in them, really nothing. Supreme Court decision going
40:22
Speaker 1: against the president. He wanted to restrict the mail-in ballots,
40:26
Speaker 1: put some controls on it. The mail-in balloting is out
40:29
Speaker 1: of control. Every expert agrees mail-in ballots are nothing but fraud.
40:35
Speaker 1: Even that study that was, remember that big study, Jimmy
40:38
Speaker 1: Carter and Howard Baker, Republican and Democrat joint study. And
40:42
Speaker 1: that was their conclusion that the mail-in ballot is nothing
40:45
Speaker 1: but It's just completely open to fraud and deceit and
40:49
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff. So they wanted to control that,
40:53
Speaker 1: put some restrictions on it. Supreme Court rejected it. So
40:57
Speaker 1: the decision allows states to continue sending out mail-in ballots
41:01
Speaker 1: under the same process they've been using, which is not
41:03
Speaker 1: a good one. Now, why would the Supreme Court allow this?
41:07
Speaker 1: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas tried to vote on the president's side.
41:13
Speaker 1: But it was Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He just argued that
41:17
Speaker 1: there was no way to get these restrictions into effect
41:20
Speaker 1: for the midterms. It's just a matter of weeks. There
41:22
Speaker 1: was no way to put them in effect for weeks.
41:25
Speaker 1: And he did signal that after the election, the president
41:30
Speaker 1: should bring it back to the Supreme Court and they'll
41:32
Speaker 1: probably rule in his favor. But he just said it
41:34
Speaker 1: was impossible, just impossible to get it done in time
41:39
Speaker 1: for the midterms. So remember Butler, Pennsylvania, that assassin Thomas Crooks,
41:47
Speaker 1: documents being released about him. You know, this is something
41:49
Speaker 1: weird about the cover-up of this assassination. Whenever there's an assassination,
41:54
Speaker 1: whether it's Lee Harvey Oswald or whoever it is, the
41:57
Speaker 1: next day you start reading all about him. Reporters are
41:59
Speaker 1: all over the guy, his family, talking to the neighbor,
42:02
Speaker 1: they gather everything. They get you his whole history. But
42:05
Speaker 1: after Butler, Pennsylvania, you never heard a word about this shooter.
42:09
Speaker 10: Nothing.
42:10
Speaker 1: Nothing came out about him. Well, uh, there are some
42:13
Speaker 1: FBI documents. Apparently they did look into it. President Trump
42:16
Speaker 1: had them look into it. Uh, his name was Thomas
42:19
Speaker 1: Matthew Crooks. He was born in 2003. His father said
42:23
Speaker 1: when he was born, his father said he was totally emotionless.
42:27
Speaker 1: Never had any emotion. Even as a baby, never cried.
42:30
Speaker 1: Even when he was born, didn't scream, didn't cry. Was
42:34
Speaker 1: always quiet. Never made a sound. Uh, Even in school,
42:38
Speaker 1: had trouble talking to anybody, trouble talking to the teachers.
42:41
Speaker 1: He said the quietness, the lack of emotion became more
42:46
Speaker 1: noticeable over the years. He said despite his lack of
42:50
Speaker 1: social skills or street smarts, he was a very good student.
42:53
Speaker 1: He got a 1400 on his first SAT. Later improved
42:57
Speaker 1: to a near perfect 1500. Whoa. I think I got
43:03
Speaker 1: a 600. He started getting into shooting and guns as
43:07
Speaker 1: a teenager. Had no interest in sort of being an
43:11
Speaker 1: outdoorsman or hunting. He just got interested in guns and shooting.
43:15
Speaker 1: Was not good at it. In fact, kept missing the
43:19
Speaker 1: target completely, but he worked hard four or five years
43:22
Speaker 1: of practice before he could do that. And eventually with practice,
43:25
Speaker 1: he became a marksman. And then the father said, this
43:30
Speaker 1: kid is ordering everything on Amazon for guns. He's figuring
43:32
Speaker 1: out how to, increase the power of his guns, increase everything. Uh,
43:37
Speaker 1: and he would practice. Somebody should have gotten suspicious here.
43:41
Speaker 1: He practiced shooting from long range over a hundred yards.
43:44
Speaker 1: He kept practicing long range shooting. So who knows, uh,
43:48
Speaker 1: what he was thinking. He wasn't, uh, they don't think
43:50
Speaker 1: very political. Uh, he didn't like Biden. He didn't like Trump.
43:55
Speaker 1: They just think he didn't like politicians. He, uh, Got
43:59
Speaker 1: more and more into guns. He bought a prism sight.
44:02
Speaker 1: Eventually became very knowledgeable about how to measure and zero
44:06
Speaker 1: in on a target. Frightening stuff. But, and again, he
44:11
Speaker 1: had very little social media. Normally you'd learn a lot
44:14
Speaker 1: about this guy, but it's just slowly coming out. Hey,
44:19
Speaker 1: Howard Stern, trying to do a little spin here, a
44:21
Speaker 1: little damage control. Howard Stern, you know, when he went
44:25
Speaker 1: over to Sirius, had millions of listeners and Uh, last
44:28
Speaker 1: few years, it dwindled down to a couple hundred thousand and, uh,
44:33
Speaker 1: they just kept reducing his money. You know, he started
44:35
Speaker 1: at a hundred million a year and he's kept reducing, reducing, reducing.
44:38
Speaker 1: Every time they'd give him a huge pay cut, he would, uh,
44:42
Speaker 1: compromise by instead of five days a week, three days
44:44
Speaker 1: a week, instead of 52 weeks a year, 26 weeks
44:48
Speaker 1: a year. Now it's down to one day a week, maybe, uh,
44:51
Speaker 1: maybe half the year, one day a week, maybe half
44:55
Speaker 1: the year. So, uh, And now it's down to just
45:00
Speaker 1: about nothing. So Stern putting out, finally doing an interview,
45:03
Speaker 1: which he doesn't usually do. He only does this when
45:04
Speaker 1: he wants to spin something. But he said, Sirius has
45:08
Speaker 1: been phenomenal with me. I was going to retire. I
45:11
Speaker 1: was going to leave the business. They begged me to stay.
45:13
Speaker 1: They said, what can we do to keep you here?
45:17
Speaker 1: And he said, how about one day we say, I
45:19
Speaker 1: don't think this is at all what happened. I don't
45:21
Speaker 1: think this is the way it went. But this is
45:22
Speaker 1: his version of it. Yeah, they took away one of
45:24
Speaker 1: his channels. So he tries to spin this a little. Yeah,
45:28
Speaker 1: I left Howard 101 because I didn't want the responsibility
45:32
Speaker 1: of it anymore. It was too much work. There was
45:34
Speaker 1: a whole staff running it. By the way, they've gotten
45:38
Speaker 1: rid of the staff. They've been laying off all these people.
45:41
Speaker 1: He had a huge office and studio complex at Sirius.
45:44
Speaker 1: Apparently that's being dismantled. They'll probably keep one studio, but
45:47
Speaker 1: most of it is being dismantled. He didn't say how
45:51
Speaker 1: long he expects to keep doing this one day a
45:53
Speaker 1: week arrangement. We'll see. Bruce Blakeman, we want to see
45:57
Speaker 1: him become governor. One thing he's promising now is to
45:59
Speaker 1: end Hochul's war on drivers by killing all these stupid
46:05
Speaker 1: green mandates. And he's going to get rid of the
46:09
Speaker 1: congestion pricing. Also, Hochul's got this law she passed a
46:14
Speaker 1: couple of years ago that by 2035, he can't drive
46:16
Speaker 1: a gas car anymore. Absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely insane. He's going
46:23
Speaker 1: to cancel all that. So you need to vote for Hochul.
46:26
Speaker 1: For Bruce Blakeman to help fix things. Anyway, we've got
46:28
Speaker 1: a lot coming up. We'll take some calls.
46:30
Speaker 8: 800-321-0710.
46:30
Speaker 1: Don't forget, I'm here 9 to noon every day.
46:33
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
46:37
Speaker 1: 321-0710. Mark Simone.
46:40
Speaker 10: Mr.
46:41
Speaker 1: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
46:45
Speaker 1: noon on 710WOR. Well, hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710
46:46
Speaker 1: is the number.
46:47
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
46:47
Speaker 1: Let's go to Sebastian in Connecticut. How you doing, Mark?
46:49
Speaker 8: Good.
46:49
Speaker 1: What's going on?
46:50
Speaker 10: Great show.
46:50
Speaker 11: Um, I'm one of Vincent's titanics from Sicily.
47:10
Speaker 1: You're one of what?
47:11
Speaker 11: I'm calling about... I'm just saying that my family came
47:16
Speaker 11: from Sicily, so.
47:18
Speaker 1: I'm not from ICE. We're not customs.
47:22
Speaker 11: Listen, I'm calling about the ad, the Lamont ad, currently out.
47:28
Speaker 1: Does anybody understand this guy? Do you realize you sound
47:31
Speaker 1: like you're in a tunnel? You're 5,000 miles away from
47:33
Speaker 1: the phone.
47:35
Speaker 11: I'm in the truck, Bart. I'm still working.
47:38
Speaker 1: I know, but we can't really hear this. It's not
47:42
Speaker 1: going to be clear enough to hear.
47:43
Speaker 4: No?
47:45
Speaker 1: I'll try it again.
47:47
Speaker 11: Okay, listen. Lamont's got an ad that shows a creature
47:53
Speaker 11: from Norwalk.
47:54
Speaker 1: We can't understand you. You're too far away from the phone.
47:56
Speaker 1: But I heard the word Lamont, so I think he
47:59
Speaker 1: says Connecticut. I think he's talking about Ned Lamont, who's
48:02
Speaker 1: the governor of Connecticut. Two terms now. He's running for
48:06
Speaker 1: a third term. If you're in Connecticut, you don't want
48:09
Speaker 1: to vote for this guy again. He's a nice guy,
48:11
Speaker 1: and he's had some good moments as governor, but a
48:14
Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff, too. And he's going kind of
48:16
Speaker 1: a woke left wing lately. The problem is you never
48:20
Speaker 1: want anybody to have a third term. Third terms never
48:23
Speaker 1: work out. Also, again, he's going too woke, too left wing.
48:27
Speaker 1: You got a good Republican candidate there. His name is
48:30
Speaker 1: Ryan Fazio. Ryan Fazio, who I see him running a
48:34
Speaker 1: lot of TV commercials here. which is good, which is good.
48:39
Speaker 1: That means he's got some money to spend. Ryan Fazio,
48:41
Speaker 1: vote for him. He's the Republican for Connecticut governor. Although
48:44
Speaker 1: I noticed he's running a lot of TV commercials and
48:47
Speaker 1: not enough social media. TV commercials are great. If this
48:50
Speaker 1: is 1998, you need to be a little more social media.
48:54
Speaker 1: Get that going. But you've had enough of Lamont. Hey,
48:57
Speaker 1: so if you want to call, it's 800-321-0710 is the number.
48:58
Speaker 15: 800-321-0710.
49:06
Speaker 1: Carnegie Deli opens today at 11 a.m. What time is it? 1026.
49:14
Speaker 1: All right. We'll see. Check it out on social media.
49:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're trying to be an Instagram sensation.
49:21
Speaker 1: If you do that in a bakery, a restaurant, uh, whatever,
49:27
Speaker 1: you can have lines around the block lines everywhere. But
49:32
Speaker 1: if you're a deli with pastrami and corned beef, I
49:34
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to work so much. Uh, cause, uh, that, uh,
49:39
Speaker 1: Instagram phenomenon tends to be for younger people. But we'll see.
49:42
Speaker 1: They've added a black and white cookie. They didn't do
49:45
Speaker 1: that before. They got all the usual, you know, the
49:47
Speaker 1: great cheesecake and all that stuff. But they've added a
49:50
Speaker 1: black and white cookie. They're pushing that. So maybe that
49:53
Speaker 1: will become a big sensation. Hey, by the way, if
49:56
Speaker 1: you're a big black and white cookie fan, there's somebody
49:59
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Actually, it's not just somebody. It's a big
50:03
Speaker 1: food group. They're real food experts. They got all the
50:06
Speaker 1: top black and white cookies in the city. and brought
50:09
Speaker 1: them into a room, and they did a blind taste
50:12
Speaker 1: test with like 12 food critics. Who would have the
50:16
Speaker 1: best black and white cookie in the city? William Greenberg Bakery? Well, yeah,
50:19
Speaker 1: they did okay. No, the winner, believe it or not,
50:22
Speaker 1: Barney Greengrass. Barney Greengrass, that legendary place on the Upper
50:27
Speaker 1: West Side, won for best black and white cookie in
50:30
Speaker 1: the city. Let's go to Al in Parsippany. Al, how
50:33
Speaker 1: you doing? Hello.
50:35
Speaker 10: How are you, Mr.
50:36
Speaker 1: Simone?
50:37
Speaker 11: Good.
50:37
Speaker 9: Good.
50:39
Speaker 12: I have a question for the president of Trump.
50:42
Speaker 4: Yes.
50:43
Speaker 12: Why are you being so civilized at this point in
50:47
Speaker 12: the game?
50:48
Speaker 10: All right.
50:48
Speaker 1: We'll ask him. Uh, I don't think he's ever Trump,
50:51
Speaker 1: Donald Trump accused of being too civilized. I don't think
50:53
Speaker 1: that's ever happened, but okay. I think he's talking about Iran. Yeah.
50:56
Speaker 1: I don't know. He just might be stalling till the
50:58
Speaker 1: midterms or, or he's luring them into some kind of trap.
51:02
Speaker 1: You never know with him. He's always, always, always it's
51:05
Speaker 1: a 3d chess. You never know where he's going. Let's
51:09
Speaker 1: go to Bill in Wildwood. Bill, how are you doing?
51:12
Speaker 10: All right.
51:13
Speaker 1: Yes, Bill. Yeah.
51:17
Speaker 10: Mark, why don't the Saudis sign the Abraham Accords and
51:21
Speaker 10: join in the fight against Iran instead of calling us up?
51:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they are cooperating to a certain extent. You're right.
51:27
Speaker 1: They've got to do a little more. I don't know
51:31
Speaker 1: what the relationship is there. The Saudis, you can never, ever, ever, ever,
51:36
Speaker 1: ever completely trust them. But they've been a little helpful.
51:41
Speaker 1: But obviously the president not too thrilled with them because
51:46
Speaker 1: he's about to release those 9-11 files, which they're not
51:49
Speaker 1: going to be happy about. Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
51:52
Speaker 1: how you doing? Wait a minute.
51:57
Speaker 11: Wait a minute.
51:57
Speaker 1: Got to push the button. Yes, Bill. Go ahead.
52:01
Speaker 10: You hear me?
52:01
Speaker 8: Yeah.
52:02
Speaker 1: Now we can hear you.
52:04
Speaker 8: Okay.
52:04
Speaker 1: Okay. Carnegie Deli.
52:06
Speaker 10: I mean, I've never been there, but I know you
52:08
Speaker 10: talk about it a lot, but is it better than
52:10
Speaker 10: Katz Deli?
52:11
Speaker 1: I've been to Katz Deli twice, and I love it. Well,
52:14
Speaker 1: the old Carnegie was much better than Katz's. This is
52:17
Speaker 1: the new Carnegie. It's coming back, not with the original people,
52:20
Speaker 1: but the granddaughter of one of the original guys, so
52:24
Speaker 1: we don't know for sure. I mean, I've seen the
52:28
Speaker 1: new sandwiches and pictures. They look like the same, but
52:31
Speaker 1: we'll see if it's exactly the same. You know, sometimes
52:33
Speaker 1: they get a little cheaper. What did you think of Katz's?
52:36
Speaker 1: Did you ever see anything like that before in your life? Oh,
52:37
Speaker 1: I love Katz's.
52:38
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I used to sell cars, and
52:41
Speaker 4: I sold the owners a couple of different BMWs in
52:44
Speaker 4: the past, and I've always gone there, and I always
52:47
Speaker 4: thought it.
52:47
Speaker 1: Was a great deli. Yeah, no, it's very good. Carnegie
52:51
Speaker 1: was different. Katz's was always just a big tourist place.
52:55
Speaker 1: The Carnegie, they got tourists, but it was mostly... real
52:58
Speaker 1: New Yorkers, and it was in its heyday, no longer,
53:01
Speaker 1: and not for the last few years, but in its heyday, 80s, 90s,
53:04
Speaker 1: it was a lot of celebrities, a lot of famous
53:07
Speaker 1: people were in there all the time. And the front table,
53:11
Speaker 1: the front table was where all the comedians and the
53:14
Speaker 1: people in show business all sat, and especially late at night,
53:19
Speaker 1: after everybody got done with their show, there's no shows anymore,
53:22
Speaker 1: I mean live shows, but in the good old days,
53:25
Speaker 1: there were nightclubs, there was Michael's Pub, there was the
53:28
Speaker 1: What else was there? I can't even remember. Rainbow and Stars.
53:32
Speaker 1: There were all kinds of places. But you'd get there
53:35
Speaker 1: about midnight. Believe it or not, you'd get to the Carnegie,
53:38
Speaker 1: maybe 1130, but usually about midnight. I used to do
53:41
Speaker 1: this every night, 80s, 90s. And you sit at the
53:43
Speaker 1: front table and everybody appearing in New York would come
53:46
Speaker 1: in and sit there. I used to go there with
53:48
Speaker 1: George Carlin, with a lot of great comedians. If you
53:51
Speaker 1: watch the movie, Broadway Danny Rose. They recreated all of
53:56
Speaker 1: that in that movie. The whole thing takes place in
53:59
Speaker 1: the Carnegie Deli. And you'll see the comedian's table up front.
54:02
Speaker 1: But it reopens today at 11. I'll give you a report.
54:06
Speaker 1: Check my Instagram. Maybe I'll put stuff up there. Go
54:09
Speaker 1: over there and get some video or something. Let's go
54:11
Speaker 1: to Jack in Massachusetts. Jack, how are you doing?
54:15
Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark.
54:16
Speaker 4: Yes, Jack.
54:17
Speaker 10: I just went by your old school at Kenmore Square
54:21
Speaker 10: from 40 years ago.
54:22
Speaker 1: 40 years ago? I didn't go to school in Kenmore Square.
54:27
Speaker 10: Well, then you go to Emerson?
54:28
Speaker 1: Emerson, yes. Let me translate for people here. It's Emerson,
54:33
Speaker 1: and what he's saying is 40 years ago. Well, people
54:36
Speaker 1: don't know what 40 years ago is. You make me homesick.
54:41
Speaker 1: You call me Mark.
54:43
Speaker 10: All right, Mark.
54:44
Speaker 1: Mark.
54:46
Speaker 10: Listen, Mark, I got to tell you something. You know
54:49
Speaker 10: what you need? You need more money. interesting guest on.
54:53
Speaker 10: You have Ann Coulter and you have Ed Rollins on
54:55
Speaker 10: so much. We need more hot, hot, hot.
54:59
Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. If you're looking
55:02
Speaker 1: for a second career, if you're looking for a second career,
55:05
Speaker 1: I don't think radio consulting would be for you.
55:08
Speaker 10: I'm going to do a New York accent, Mark. We need,
55:12
Speaker 10: we need Newt Gingrich on. We need Josh Hawley on.
55:15
Speaker 10: You have all these.
55:15
Speaker 1: We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't have politicians on.
55:18
Speaker 1: That's one rule.
55:19
Speaker 10: Is that right?
55:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
55:20
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
55:20
Speaker 1: No problem. Nobody wants to hear that.
55:22
Speaker 10: Also, I got a question for you. When you first
55:24
Speaker 10: started the.
55:24
Speaker 1: New gig— All exception, Bruce Blakeman.
55:26
Speaker 12: Huh?
55:26
Speaker 4: What?
55:27
Speaker 10: How come you never mentioned that you're not going to
55:30
Speaker 10: be working Friday, Johnny Carson?
55:33
Speaker 1: I do work Fridays.
55:35
Speaker 10: No, a lot of you Fridays you haven't been on.
55:37
Speaker 1: Oh, that's just in August.
55:38
Speaker 10: That's what?
55:40
Speaker 1: That's only in August I do that.
55:42
Speaker 10: Oh, I see. You're back on Fridays?
55:45
Speaker 6: Yeah.
55:45
Speaker 8: Yeah.
55:46
Speaker 1: Are you okay?
55:46
Speaker 10: I know last week. No, last week. Seriously, are you okay?
55:49
Speaker 10: Maybe last week was the first Friday. No, I listen
55:51
Speaker 10: to you all the time, Mark, ever since your Saturday
55:53
Speaker 10: night show.
55:54
Speaker 1: Jack, snap out of it.
55:55
Speaker 8: Come on.
55:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the summer I take Fridays. See, here's the thing.
56:00
Speaker 1: I don't like to take a whole week off. I
56:03
Speaker 1: just can't stand taking the whole week off. So I
56:05
Speaker 1: do it like every Friday in August. It's a way
56:08
Speaker 1: of burning up a week. How much vacation do I get?
56:11
Speaker 1: I think it's four weeks. So you've got to figure
56:13
Speaker 1: out how to use it without affecting the show too much.
56:16
Speaker 1: But that's why I do that. And we don't have
56:18
Speaker 1: politicians on. You know, have you ever listened to a
56:20
Speaker 1: radio show and the guy says, coming up next, Senator
56:22
Speaker 1: Ron Phillips. As soon as you hear Senator Ron, whoever,
56:27
Speaker 1: Congressman Jack So, as soon as you hear Congressman, Senator,
56:31
Speaker 1: you don't want to hear a bunch of politicians on here.
56:33
Speaker 1: You want to hear people that are fun. Anyway, oh,
56:35
Speaker 1: you know who we'll talk to next? Rhonda Shear. We're
56:37
Speaker 1: going to talk about New York. She was here. And

57:15
Speaker 1: how are you doing?
57:16
Speaker 6: Mark, that's so sweet. The best intro ever. And that
57:20
Speaker 6: gentleman just said that you need more interesting guests, and
57:22
Speaker 6: you have me. So there you go.
57:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't listen to him. What does he know?
57:29
Speaker 6: But wait, I was a politician. I ran for office
57:31
Speaker 6: when I was 22 in New Orleans.
57:33
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. luckily you didn't get elected because you
57:36
Speaker 1: would have not had this great show business career that
57:39
Speaker 1: you had.
57:39
Speaker 6: No, but do you know, this is really, this is
57:42
Speaker 6: how old I am, but I was the first woman
57:45
Speaker 6: and the youngest person to ever run in the state
57:47
Speaker 6: of Louisiana. And I don't know if you, do you
57:49
Speaker 6: remember governor Edwin Edwards back in new Orleans?
57:52
Speaker 1: Name sounds familiar.
57:53
Speaker 4: Yeah.
57:55
Speaker 8: Yeah.
57:55
Speaker 6: He was literally like the father of the state. Cause
57:57
Speaker 6: he like slept with every, every person that was long
58:00
Speaker 6: before the me too.
58:01
Speaker 15: Really?
58:01
Speaker 1: While he was in office.
58:04
Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh. He was a silver fox.
58:07
Speaker 4: Gorgeous.
58:07
Speaker 6: I mean, he really was. And he was 42 when
58:10
Speaker 6: he was elected. You have to look him up because
58:12
Speaker 6: he's legendary.
58:13
Speaker 12: He went to jail.
58:13
Speaker 6: He had a reality show. But anyway, he brought gambling
58:17
Speaker 6: to New Orleans and Louisiana. He was 42, and I
58:21
Speaker 6: was at my junior-senior prom. And literally they were having
58:25
Speaker 6: a political party next door, like different rooms, you know,
58:28
Speaker 6: like in a convention center. And I was standing outside
58:31
Speaker 6: and my date wasn't around with a couple of friends.
58:35
Speaker 6: And he had one of his little henchmen come up
58:36
Speaker 6: to me and say, the governor would like to meet
58:39
Speaker 6: you and get your phone number.
58:40
Speaker 4: Wow.
58:42
Speaker 6: And like a fool, I gave it to him because
58:43
Speaker 6: I didn't know better. I was 16. And that started
58:47
Speaker 6: this whole relationship, not a relationship, of him calling me
58:51
Speaker 6: and sending me flowers and telling me that my name was,
58:55
Speaker 6: that he was in Florida and he was writing my
58:58
Speaker 6: name in the sand and the waves were washing it away.
59:00
Speaker 6: You see, guys can get away with stuff.
59:03
Speaker 1: This is while he's in office?
59:06
Speaker 6: Oh, God, look up Edwin Edwards.
59:08
Speaker 1: So while he's in office, he's calling a 16.
59:11
Speaker 10: Yes.
59:12
Speaker 1: And he's probably calling a million other women.
59:15
Speaker 4: Oh, gosh. Yeah.
59:16
Speaker 6: I mean, there was jokes about him because he was
59:18
Speaker 6: movie star handsome. And he really, I mean, literally brought
59:22
Speaker 6: gambling and so much. He was a big gambler. Gorgeous, funny,
59:26
Speaker 6: Cajun accent. Very sexy. But, you know, back then, you
59:30
Speaker 6: know how you had phone lines and somebody else could
59:32
Speaker 6: pick up the other extension in another world?
59:35
Speaker 10: Okay.
59:35
Speaker 6: So he would call me up and he would go
59:37
Speaker 6: by the name Bandito.
59:38
Speaker 10: Bandito?
59:38
Speaker 6: That's like Carlos Danger.
59:44
Speaker 1: With Anthony Weiner.
59:46
Speaker 4: Right.
59:47
Speaker 6: Exactly. So I would have my parents. I'd be giggling.
59:50
Speaker 6: You're 16, and it's hysterical when some older man, even
59:53
Speaker 6: though he was very handsome... was calling you so I'd
59:55
Speaker 6: say mom dad pick up your phone that I'll be
59:58
Speaker 6: listening and he'd be telling me all this BS about
1:00:00
Speaker 6: my name and the waves and I must come to
1:00:03
Speaker 6: the mansion in Louisiana and he's got gifts for me
1:00:06
Speaker 6: and I must go to LSU Baton Rouge because he
1:00:08
Speaker 6: will make me queen of the campus and which is
1:00:12
Speaker 6: why I didn't go there and I went to Loyola
1:00:14
Speaker 6: University but this is all true and it's actually in
1:00:16
Speaker 6: my book I mean I have a whole thing yeah well.
1:00:18
Speaker 1: The book's called up all night right yes yeah you
1:00:21
Speaker 1: got to get the book and read all these stories
1:00:23
Speaker 1: But I like the Bill Clinton approach where you just
1:00:26
Speaker 1: get her in a hotel room and drop your pants.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: Remember with Paula Jones?
1:00:33
Speaker 6: Oh, of course I do.
1:00:34
Speaker 1: But that's Bill Clinton. He was just pulled on his pants. Here,
1:00:37
Speaker 1: take a look.
1:00:38
Speaker 6: What do you think? But I hate to say that.
1:00:40
Speaker 10: This all went on, Mark.
1:00:42
Speaker 6: This all went on. I mean, I guess I was
1:00:44
Speaker 6: like that.
1:00:44
Speaker 8: I mean, okay.
1:00:45
Speaker 6: I have to say this really quickly. So when I
1:00:47
Speaker 6: was Miss Louisiana and I went up to the state
1:00:49
Speaker 6: capitol to make a speech on young women in politics.
1:00:53
Speaker 6: Or young people in politics. So I didn't know. This
1:00:56
Speaker 6: is before I knew anything about that. I was too
1:00:59
Speaker 6: naive to know that Edwin Edwards was going to hit
1:01:01
Speaker 6: on me. So it was all men. Because there was
1:01:03
Speaker 6: no women in the Senate at the Capitol. our Congress people.
1:01:08
Speaker 6: So anyway, I get up in front and I make
1:01:10
Speaker 6: this speech and it's so cute. And at the very end,
1:01:13
Speaker 6: and I go, and my parents are there and I'd
1:01:15
Speaker 6: like to thank Governor Edwards for making this all possible.
1:01:18
Speaker 6: And I got this huge laugh and a standing ovation.
1:01:21
Speaker 6: And I realized then I basically was saying, I made this,
1:01:26
Speaker 6: they knew, they knew his whole womanizing thing. He hit
1:01:29
Speaker 6: on everybody. So when I said that it was hysterical,
1:01:31
Speaker 6: but that was my first big laugh. And I think
1:01:35
Speaker 6: at that point on, at the tender age of 17,
1:01:37
Speaker 6: is why I got into comedy later on.
1:01:41
Speaker 1: So this governor, didn't it ever come out? Didn't anybody
1:01:43
Speaker 1: ever do stories about his womanizing?
1:01:45
Speaker 16: Oh, my gosh.
1:01:46
Speaker 10: That's what I'm saying. Please.
1:01:47
Speaker 6: You will get the biggest kick. I'm surprised that you
1:01:50
Speaker 6: don't remember that because you know all this stuff. Legendary.
1:01:53
Speaker 6: Edwin Edwards. And like I said, devastatingly handsome. And had
1:01:58
Speaker 6: a reality show recently. Not so many years ago. I mean,
1:02:01
Speaker 6: he passed away not that long ago. Married a much
1:02:04
Speaker 6: younger woman and had another child in his 80s.
1:02:07
Speaker 10: All right.
1:02:07
Speaker 1: But wait a minute. This line of his, you know,
1:02:10
Speaker 1: I'm putting your name in the sand here in Florida.
1:02:13
Speaker 1: This doesn't really work on anybody, does it? That kind
1:02:15
Speaker 1: of line?
1:02:15
Speaker 6: Well, you're 16 years old and you have your parents
1:02:18
Speaker 6: on the other phone and you're laughing hysterically. Of course not.
1:02:21
Speaker 6: And then, you know, I was in all these pageants
1:02:24
Speaker 6: at that time. So he pulls up to one of
1:02:25
Speaker 6: the pageants I was in. And my first cousin, who's
1:02:28
Speaker 6: from New.
1:02:28
Speaker 12: York, she's with me.
1:02:30
Speaker 6: And he's in a state car, a state Louisiana trooper car,
1:02:35
Speaker 6: and he's in the backseat. And the trooper comes out,
1:02:38
Speaker 6: or his bodyguard, and says, Governor Edwards would like you
1:02:40
Speaker 6: to get in the backseat of the car with him.
1:02:42
Speaker 6: And my cousin's walking around. I get into the backseat.
1:02:45
Speaker 6: He totally starts to try to make out with me.
1:02:47
Speaker 6: And I'm laughing hysterically. This is why I use comedy
1:02:50
Speaker 6: as a defense my entire career.
1:02:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, but wait, isn't there a driver in this car?
1:02:55
Speaker 6: Well, the driver got out and I got in. He says,
1:02:58
Speaker 6: I'm a baby. Seriously, I'm totally underage. I mean, I
1:03:02
Speaker 6: guess I was 17 at that point because I was
1:03:04
Speaker 6: old enough to go into the Miss Louisiana pageant. And
1:03:07
Speaker 6: my cousin's walking around and she doesn't know. We still
1:03:09
Speaker 6: laugh about this to the day. She's a New Yorker
1:03:12
Speaker 6: and she's she had her arm in a cast and
1:03:14
Speaker 6: she's walking around. the state troopers walking around, and I'm
1:03:17
Speaker 6: in the backseat of the car with the governor. You'd
1:03:20
Speaker 6: think these guys wouldn't have gotten in trouble, right?
1:03:22
Speaker 1: All right, but the governor is pawing you. How did
1:03:24
Speaker 1: you get out of there?
1:03:25
Speaker 6: Pawing me? I laughed in his face.
1:03:27
Speaker 13: I thought it was the funniest thing.
1:03:31
Speaker 15: I ever saw because you're a baby.
1:03:33
Speaker 6: You know, some old man, even though he's good-looking, but,
1:03:35
Speaker 6: you know, he's old enough to be your father.
1:03:37
Speaker 1: And did he smell like Old Spice?
1:03:40
Speaker 6: No, he was really hot. He really was. And then
1:03:43
Speaker 6: later on when I went to the pageant, In Miss Louisiana,
1:03:47
Speaker 6: my sister was my chaperone and my sister was beautiful
1:03:50
Speaker 6: and a little older than me. He hit on her too.
1:03:56
Speaker 6: Except I told my sister, you should have gone to
1:03:58
Speaker 6: bed with him because you had nothing to lose. You
1:04:00
Speaker 6: were newly divorced and maybe I would have won the pageant. See,
1:04:03
Speaker 6: I would get in so much trouble saying this in
1:04:05
Speaker 6: front of women. I mean, because back then you could
1:04:07
Speaker 6: have a sense of humor about this.
1:04:11
Speaker 1: I Googled this guy, Edwin Edwards. He's okay looking. He's
1:04:14
Speaker 1: not that handsome.
1:04:15
Speaker 6: Look at him in his youth.
1:04:16
Speaker 1: I am. He's not that handsome.
1:04:18
Speaker 6: I mean, yes, he was.
1:04:19
Speaker 1: He was.
1:04:19
Speaker 6: He had the slick. He was called, they call that
1:04:22
Speaker 6: slick tongue, that Cajun accent. And he would tell joke
1:04:26
Speaker 6: after joke and he charmed everyone. But you've got to
1:04:30
Speaker 6: look up like the stories about that. He wouldn't, he
1:04:32
Speaker 6: would laugh about, okay, one more story because I never
1:04:34
Speaker 6: got out of town, Tom. I can't believe this was
1:04:36
Speaker 6: my show. But anyway, I'm doing a commercial years later
1:04:40
Speaker 6: doing my up all night days. And so I'm in
1:04:43
Speaker 6: my 30s. I'm in New Orleans, and it was for
1:04:45
Speaker 6: Barks Root Beer, which is a big local root beer.
1:04:47
Speaker 6: And they have all these celebrities. They have me. They
1:04:49
Speaker 6: have him. They've got the Coach of the Saints, all
1:04:52
Speaker 6: these different local celebrities in New Orleans. And they had
1:04:55
Speaker 6: me whisper something in his ear about the soft drink.
1:04:58
Speaker 6: And we're on live mic, okay? But he doesn't realize.
1:05:01
Speaker 6: He's got a lavalier. I've got a lavalier on. We're
1:05:04
Speaker 6: getting ready to shoot the bit, and he says to me,
1:05:06
Speaker 6: and I can't say the word, but you can fill
1:05:07
Speaker 6: in the blanks. He goes, you know, I should have
1:05:10
Speaker 6: you when... I had the chance. Well, he never had
1:05:13
Speaker 6: the chance, but he should have, you know what, blanked
1:05:15
Speaker 6: when he had the chance. And the entire, the sound man,
1:05:18
Speaker 6: the cameraman, every person in the studio turned around and
1:05:22
Speaker 6: looked at me and just went, oh. He literally just
1:05:26
Speaker 6: said that on a live mic.
1:05:27
Speaker 1: Hey, it says he served four terms as governor. He
1:05:29
Speaker 1: got through four terms without ever any scandal?
1:05:32
Speaker 10: Oh, no.
1:05:33
Speaker 6: There was so much scandal. They loved him. If he
1:05:35
Speaker 6: was alive right now, he'd win again. That's Louisiana politics, Warwick. Oh, salacious.
1:05:40
Speaker 6: They were fabulous.
1:05:41
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I'm going to go read about it.

Speaker 1: right there. Back after the news on 710WOR. Now, much
1:09:19
Speaker 1: more Mark. Mark Simone. Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
1:09:25
Speaker 13: On 710WOR.
1:09:28
Speaker 1: Well, hey, a beautiful sunny day, but only 72 today.
1:09:32
Speaker 1: We'll be back in the 80s the rest of the week,
1:09:34
Speaker 1: and then summer ends one week from tonight. I hate
1:09:39
Speaker 1: to break it to you, but... A lot going on.
1:09:41
Speaker 1: Stock market is down about 500 points. The reason for that,
1:09:46
Speaker 1: the 10-year treasury yield hit the highest level of investors,
1:09:51
Speaker 1: actually traders, worried a Fed rate hike is coming. So
1:09:54
Speaker 1: that's a little spook in the market now. Also, price
1:09:58
Speaker 1: of oil did spike overnight. It's due to that pipeline.
1:10:02
Speaker 1: It's up to almost $ 105 a barrel. That's high. That's
1:10:04
Speaker 1: going to be.
1:10:08
Speaker 1: It takes a week or two of lag time. Increase
1:10:10
Speaker 1: at the pumps. Now, that's because the hooties are back
1:10:13
Speaker 1: in action. The Iran-sponsored terrorist group took out a Saudi pipeline.
1:10:18
Speaker 1: They're taking over the Red Sea shipping route. That's screwing
1:10:23
Speaker 1: up oil. So that's why the spike. We'll see what
1:10:25
Speaker 1: the president does about it. So far, it doesn't look
1:10:27
Speaker 1: like he's doing anything about it. But we'll see what
1:10:30
Speaker 1: he does. And then that could bring it down. The...
1:10:35
Speaker 1: The president met with all the oil companies not long ago,
1:10:38
Speaker 1: the heads of the oil companies. There's actually no reason
1:10:40
Speaker 1: for the price of oil to be up in the
1:10:42
Speaker 1: United States, logically, because we produce all our own oil.
1:10:47
Speaker 1: We don't get any oil out of the Strait of Hormuz.
1:10:50
Speaker 1: We don't get any oil out of the Middle East.
1:10:52
Speaker 1: When the president got in, he opened up all the drilling,
1:10:56
Speaker 1: and we now produce more oil than anybody in the world.
1:11:01
Speaker 1: We not only have more oil than we could ever use,
1:11:03
Speaker 1: we got all the oil we need. We're actually supplying
1:11:06
Speaker 1: oil to everybody in the world. So if we have
1:11:09
Speaker 1: more oil than we can ever use, why do we
1:11:11
Speaker 1: need a price increase? Well, these oil companies, two reasons.
1:11:14
Speaker 1: They like to base it on the worldwide price. And
1:11:18
Speaker 1: the other reason is, even though we have all this oil,
1:11:23
Speaker 1: we don't have enough refineries to refine it. We might
1:11:26
Speaker 1: have tons of crude coming out of the ground, but
1:11:28
Speaker 1: you need a refinery to turn it into gasoline. And
1:11:32
Speaker 1: the problem is, And I hate to blame Democrats for this,
1:11:36
Speaker 1: but you are kind of to blame for this. Over
1:11:38
Speaker 1: the years, they stopped allowing anybody to build a refinery everywhere.
1:11:43
Speaker 1: So we were stuck at a certain amount of refineries.
1:11:45
Speaker 1: When we went to more drilling and more oil, we
1:11:48
Speaker 1: needed more refineries. And Democrats in blue states wouldn't allow
1:11:52
Speaker 1: any refineries. They decided to make it sound like nuclear plants.
1:11:57
Speaker 1: We can't have a refinery here. I mean, I imagine
1:12:00
Speaker 1: they do smell a lot of refinery here. And I
1:12:03
Speaker 1: imagine they do put some sludge in a river, but
1:12:05
Speaker 1: you do need them. So we don't have enough refineries
1:12:09
Speaker 1: to keep up with all the oil we got. And
1:12:11
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Kennedy Center, looking at bankruptcy possibly. You know,
1:12:19
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center was a mess when Donald Trump took office.
1:12:23
Speaker 1: An absolute mess. And it's amazing, you know, they yell
1:12:28
Speaker 1: and scream that he's messing it up. It's amazing how
1:12:31
Speaker 1: previous administrations from Bush to Biden to Obama paid no attention.
1:12:39
Speaker 1: It's the federal government that runs the Kennedy Center. And
1:12:41
Speaker 1: apparently the whole place was decaying, falling apart. And, you know,
1:12:46
Speaker 1: when the president came in and there's nobody more expert
1:12:49
Speaker 1: on this, he went through the inner workings of the
1:12:52
Speaker 1: building and said this whole building has to be redone.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: And again, he's a world expert. on this sort of stuff.
1:12:59
Speaker 1: He said the whole underbelly of the business, the whole
1:13:01
Speaker 1: infrastructure of the building needs to be replaced, repaired. And
1:13:06
Speaker 1: it turns out he was right. It turns out a
1:13:08
Speaker 1: lot of it is tremendous, what they call water intrusion.
1:13:12
Speaker 1: That's more than water and damage. It's water intrusion. In
1:13:15
Speaker 1: other words, as they built the building and kept fiddling
1:13:20
Speaker 1: with it and adding on, they never got the piping
1:13:23
Speaker 1: system right. So many of these pipes were just leaking
1:13:26
Speaker 1: water into everything. So the whole building at some point
1:13:30
Speaker 1: will just collapse. They had an incident about a week
1:13:33
Speaker 1: ago where a big chunk of the ceiling collapsed. Luckily,
1:13:37
Speaker 1: it was when the Kennedy Center was closed because this
1:13:39
Speaker 1: enormous chunk of the ceiling came crashing down into the lobby,
1:13:44
Speaker 1: which is where everybody would be standing before a show. Luckily,
1:13:48
Speaker 1: it was closed, so no injuries, but pretty bad, this stuff. Hey,
1:13:52
Speaker 1: we're talking about our crazy mayor, Mamdani. You know, he
1:13:55
Speaker 1: still hasn't got a federal security clearance. Been in office
1:13:59
Speaker 1: nine months. Now, what does that mean? Well, it means
1:14:01
Speaker 1: he can't get briefed on classified information involving terrorism or
1:14:06
Speaker 1: other threats to New York City. Not that he would
1:14:08
Speaker 1: listen anyway. Now, he argues that this always takes a
1:14:14
Speaker 1: year or two to get a security clearance. I don't know.
1:14:18
Speaker 1: It took Bill de Blasio a year. It took Eric
1:14:20
Speaker 1: Adams a But again, I have a feeling it didn't
1:14:24
Speaker 1: take Giuliani, I have a feeling it didn't take Bloomberg
1:14:26
Speaker 1: a year to get it done. But now he also
1:14:33
Speaker 1: points out there are a number of senior administration officials
1:14:37
Speaker 1: who have the security clearance who can get the briefings
1:14:39
Speaker 1: and the NYPD gets the briefings and they can brief
1:14:43
Speaker 1: him if they have to. But you have to get
1:14:45
Speaker 1: vetted and it's handled by the FBI. And one of
1:14:49
Speaker 1: these guys might take their time, de Blasio and Mamdani,
1:14:53
Speaker 1: because they don't want too much investigation into their past. Hey,
1:14:57
Speaker 1: that Macklemore with his anti-Israel, anti-Semitic crap was thrown off
1:15:04
Speaker 1: the tour by Ed Sheeran. He was on tour with
1:15:07
Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran, and apparently some venues were objecting to Macklemore
1:15:11
Speaker 1: with his anti-Semitic nonsense. And so they threw him off
1:15:16
Speaker 1: the tour. They don't want to lose any venues. Macklemore
1:15:19
Speaker 1: now blaming Bob Kraft. Robert Kraft, he said, made these
1:15:23
Speaker 1: phone calls and got them kicked off. They were supposed
1:15:25
Speaker 1: to play Gillette Stadium, which is owned by the Kraft Group.
1:15:28
Speaker 4: And he.
1:15:31
Speaker 1: Said Ed Sheeran told him that Kraft wouldn't allow him
1:15:35
Speaker 1: into Gillette Stadium. Well, good for Robert Kraft, who's been
1:15:38
Speaker 1: fighting anti-Semitism, running a whole campaign against it. Good for him.
1:15:44
Speaker 1: You know, there's 9-11 files that have never been declassified.
1:15:49
Speaker 1: President Trump wants to declassify some of them. Apparently, there's
1:15:53
Speaker 1: one that told Bill Clinton that Al Qaeda was present
1:15:58
Speaker 1: in the U.S., that they were looking to hijack an
1:16:02
Speaker 1: airplane and load it with explosives. So this is pretty
1:16:07
Speaker 1: much 9-11 being planned. This declassified file, there was a
1:16:12
Speaker 1: warning Clinton received from intelligence agencies saying that Al Qaeda
1:16:16
Speaker 1: members were in the U.S., They had even performed a
1:16:19
Speaker 1: trial run at a New York airport. Trial run would
1:16:23
Speaker 1: mean seeing if they could get through security, get on
1:16:25
Speaker 1: the plane. And we do know that the 9-11 hijackers
1:16:29
Speaker 1: did do that. They did some trial runs in the
1:16:32
Speaker 1: weeks before. You remember, it was a few weeks before 9-11.
1:16:36
Speaker 1: Mohammed Adda and those terrorists did a trial run. They
1:16:40
Speaker 1: managed to get through security and get on a plane.
1:16:42
Speaker 1: And you remember the actor James Woods saw them and
1:16:46
Speaker 1: thought they were terrorists. And he tried to warn people.
1:16:50
Speaker 1: He tried to warn the flight crew and the police
1:16:54
Speaker 1: that these guys look like terrorists. They were up to something.
1:16:56
Speaker 1: Nobody listened to him, but even he spotted it. Also,
1:17:02
Speaker 1: there's a December 4th, 1998 intelligence briefing to President Clinton
1:17:08
Speaker 1: saying bin Laden is prepared to hijack U.S. aircraft. Some
1:17:12
Speaker 1: members of the bin Laden network have received hijack training,
1:17:15
Speaker 1: according to various sources. He's planning to use aircraft against
1:17:20
Speaker 1: the United States. Now, this is not Bush that got
1:17:22
Speaker 1: these warnings. This is Clinton that got these warnings. If
1:17:25
Speaker 1: you look at the Bush intelligence briefings, they never said this.
1:17:29
Speaker 1: This is the Clinton intelligence briefing. So the president releasing
1:17:32
Speaker 1: these files so that everybody could see them. There's also
1:17:38
Speaker 1: a warning that bin Laden was mulling an attack on
1:17:41
Speaker 1: a shopping mall in Washington, D.C., So, hey, James Bond,
1:17:46
Speaker 1: Pierce Brosnan, he was a pretty good James Bond. He
1:17:50
Speaker 1: was the last, you know, dashing, witty, charming. Then they
1:17:55
Speaker 1: went with the Daniel Craig, sour and nasty looking, rough
1:17:59
Speaker 1: looking sort of a character. Which if you read the
1:18:02
Speaker 1: original books by Ian Fleming, that's the way the character
1:18:06
Speaker 1: was in the books. He wasn't Sean Connery or Roger Moore.
1:18:09
Speaker 1: The James Bond that was in the original books was
1:18:11
Speaker 1: Daniel Craig. You know, rough, somber, not so flashy sort
1:18:17
Speaker 1: of a guy. But Pierce Brosnan lives in Malibu, $ 100
1:18:20
Speaker 1: million Malibu compound, big house, and bought up lots near it.
1:18:27
Speaker 1: It became a whole compound with different houses, $ 100 million.
1:18:30
Speaker 1: He's got to move. He said he has to get
1:18:32
Speaker 1: out of there. There's earthquakes. There's fires. The costs are
1:18:36
Speaker 1: going through the roof. He said living in California is
1:18:39
Speaker 1: too expensive now. It's too crazy. He's living right next
1:18:43
Speaker 1: to the Pacific Ocean. He said it's too vulnerable there
1:18:46
Speaker 1: to wildfires, to earthquakes, to sinkholes. Who was the actor?
1:18:51
Speaker 1: Just had a sinkhole. Nick Cage. Was it Nick Cage?
1:18:54
Speaker 1: Sinkhole right at his house. Brosnan's own home has already
1:18:58
Speaker 1: had some frightening brushes with flames. There was a fire
1:19:03
Speaker 1: that came right near him. It was one that hit
1:19:05
Speaker 1: his garage, did a million dollars in damage. He also
1:19:09
Speaker 1: said California isn't cheap anymore. Too expensive to live there.
1:19:13
Speaker 1: And he's getting the hell out of there. More and
1:19:16
Speaker 1: more people leaving California. Blue states. The exodus continues. You know,
1:19:23
Speaker 1: when they take the census, they never disqualify illegals. If
1:19:29
Speaker 1: you're illegal, you're in the census. You get counted as
1:19:32
Speaker 1: part of the population. And why do that? Well, because,
1:19:38
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess you've got to know how
1:19:39
Speaker 1: many people are actually here. But the problem is they
1:19:41
Speaker 1: used the census to decide the congressional districts. So that's
1:19:47
Speaker 1: why the Democrats would send plane loads of illegals into
1:19:51
Speaker 1: certain areas. You remember those secret planes that were flying
1:19:54
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, trapping off illegals in
1:19:56
Speaker 1: certain places? That was to fill up the district and
1:20:01
Speaker 1: get another congressional seat that way. They'd pick a blue area,
1:20:04
Speaker 1: fly them in, or a red area and fly in
1:20:07
Speaker 1: all the illegals to change the demographics. But the Trump
1:20:10
Speaker 1: administration wants to stop all that so that in the
1:20:14
Speaker 1: citizenship questionnaire, they'd find out right away if you're a citizen,
1:20:18
Speaker 1: if you're not a true citizen, an illegal alien, an
1:20:21
Speaker 1: illegal citizen, that you wouldn't be counted in the census,
1:20:26
Speaker 1: which sounds pretty logical. So they're going to propose this.
1:20:30
Speaker 1: Democrats are already planning to challenge it. and try to
1:20:33
Speaker 1: block it because they certainly don't want that to happen. Hey,
1:20:37
Speaker 1: 60 Minutes, we told you they did this great piece
1:20:39
Speaker 1: on the pilot that was trapped behind enemy lines in
1:20:43
Speaker 1: Iran that had to be rescued. Dramatic piece. Which is
1:20:48
Speaker 1: what the old 60 Minutes used to do. You know,
1:20:50
Speaker 1: interview these heroes, do a dramatic little, quick little documentary
1:20:55
Speaker 1: on them. So there's another one they should do. A
1:20:58
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying they should do the U.S.
1:21:00
Speaker 1: Navy SEALs who spent four months underwater, straight of Hormuz.
1:21:05
Speaker 1: They're the ones that got the mines out of the water.
1:21:08
Speaker 1: You remember, we couldn't go through the strait because all
1:21:09
Speaker 1: the mines that were in there would blow up the ships.
1:21:13
Speaker 1: So they had to do these dives, mostly in the
1:21:15
Speaker 1: middle of the night. Divers had robot boats. They had
1:21:18
Speaker 1: special underwater crafts. It was very, very dangerous work. Very dangerous.
1:21:24
Speaker 1: But they went in there and they removed thousands of mines.
1:21:26
Speaker 1: It would be a great 60 Minutes piece. Fascinating story.
1:21:31
Speaker 1: The divers got every last mine out of there. They
1:21:35
Speaker 1: cleared the straits. All the mines have been removed. Now,
1:21:39
Speaker 1: a lot of them, if they saw a mine, they
1:21:42
Speaker 1: would have to send an explosive and blow up the
1:21:44
Speaker 1: mine if the mine was impossible to take out. They
1:21:47
Speaker 1: would just blow it up down there. But they freed
1:21:51
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz for us, so pretty good. A
1:21:55
Speaker 1: concert for dogs? Would you take your dog to a concert? No, no,
1:21:58
Speaker 1: I don't mean a concert you like. These are concerts
1:22:01
Speaker 1: for dogs. I don't know. I don't know. Anybody finds
1:22:05
Speaker 1: a way to make money off pets. You know, you
1:22:08
Speaker 1: used to have a pet. Didn't cost you that much.
1:22:11
Speaker 1: Then they figured out how to make money off pets.
1:22:12
Speaker 1: So the veterinarians got on the act. You know, we
1:22:16
Speaker 1: could do what the regular medical people do. We'll charge
1:22:19
Speaker 1: them for CAT scans. We'll charge them for MRIs. We'll
1:22:22
Speaker 1: charge them for all this stuff. And now your pet,
1:22:25
Speaker 1: the health care costs as much as a human. It's
1:22:27
Speaker 1: crazy the cost of taking care of a pet. So
1:22:30
Speaker 1: here's a way to make, they're going to have concerts
1:22:31
Speaker 1: just for dogs. You'll bring your dog. Now it has
1:22:35
Speaker 1: to be dog music. What is dog music? Well, research
1:22:38
Speaker 1: has shown that gentle string-based arrangements appeal to dogs. And
1:22:44
Speaker 1: they figured out exactly what beat, what tempo, what pace
1:22:47
Speaker 1: dogs like. And I don't know if anybody really believes this,
1:22:51
Speaker 1: but it says it'll promote relaxation in your dog. So
1:22:54
Speaker 1: you bring your dog to the dog concert and he's
1:22:56
Speaker 1: supposed to be in a better mood for the rest
1:22:59
Speaker 1: of the week. Hey, that OpenAI, all these AI companies,
1:23:05
Speaker 1: I told you, they're loaded up with all those CIA
1:23:08
Speaker 1: guys that were involved in the Russia hoax, all these
1:23:11
Speaker 1: political dirty tricksters. They're very tangled up with Democrats. Now,
1:23:15
Speaker 1: OpenAI just hired Chuck Schumer's daughter. Yeah, that's right. Jessica
1:23:23
Speaker 1: Schumer suddenly gets a big job with OpenAI to handle
1:23:27
Speaker 1: the company's government outreach. Yeah. Lobby through Chuck Schumer. So
1:23:33
Speaker 1: this is what you got to be careful. Be very
1:23:35
Speaker 1: weary of these AI companies. As we told you before,
1:23:39
Speaker 1: this whole thing about them warning everybody how dangerous it is,
1:23:43
Speaker 1: calling for regulation.
1:23:44
Speaker 10: I know.
1:23:45
Speaker 1: Whenever you hear tech guys, tech CEOs trying to sound
1:23:47
Speaker 1: like saints, trying to sound noble, be very leery. And
1:23:53
Speaker 1: what industry calls for a regulation? It's all a bit
1:23:57
Speaker 1: of a PSYOP operation. Again, they got a lot of
1:24:03
Speaker 1: CIA guys working. The same guys that were in the
1:24:05
Speaker 1: Russia hoax. The same guys that covered up the laptop.
1:24:10
Speaker 1: They're all working for these AI companies. Obama has been
1:24:13
Speaker 1: carefully coordinating this. A couple of reasons. One, they want
1:24:17
Speaker 1: to make it the new climate change. The fear of
1:24:20
Speaker 1: AI is going to be the new climate change. to
1:24:22
Speaker 1: think Republicans will be on the wrong side. Democrats can
1:24:25
Speaker 1: use it to win. So that's one reason. The other reason,
1:24:28
Speaker 1: the reason these AI companies want to jump in, they
1:24:30
Speaker 1: would like government to take over and put in regulations
1:24:34
Speaker 1: and red tape because these four or five AI companies
1:24:37
Speaker 1: already dominate. They already control AI. So they're not looking
1:24:41
Speaker 1: for any newcomers. They're not looking for any new startups,
1:24:44
Speaker 1: new company. They don't want anybody new getting in. That's
1:24:46
Speaker 1: why they want the government to sort of close the fence,
1:24:48
Speaker 1: close the gate. So, These guys can control it. Nobody
1:24:52
Speaker 1: else can get in. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
1:24:54
Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number.
1:24:55
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.

1:25:29

1:25:46
Speaker 1: from North Carolina about this.

Speaker 1: All right. It sounds good. Thanks for calling Narrowsburg. I

Speaker 1: never even heard of that. Let's go to Bill in Brooklyn. Bill,
1:28:20
Speaker 1: how you doing?
1:28:21
Speaker 16: Hi, Mark.
1:28:22
Speaker 10: Mark, you know what James Bond's first kill was? You know,
1:28:25
Speaker 10: we had that double O license to kill.
1:28:27
Speaker 12: It was in New York City.
1:28:28
Speaker 10: It was in New York City.
1:28:30
Speaker 1: Well, there was one short story where he comes to
1:28:33
Speaker 1: New York just to assassinate somebody in Rockefeller Center. That's right.
1:28:36
Speaker 10: The RCA building.
1:28:37
Speaker 1: Very good.
1:28:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was in Ian Fleming's first book. Casino Royale.
1:28:41
Speaker 1: He mentions this. Yeah, but it was later an actual
1:28:44
Speaker 1: short story. Later, he put out a collection of short stories,
1:28:47
Speaker 1: and there was one about Bond coming to New York
1:28:50
Speaker 1: just to kill somebody. Uh-huh. Just to kill. Remember Carrie Limousine?
1:28:55
Speaker 1: He actually rented a Carrie car to Right, right. Get there,
1:28:58
Speaker 1: RCA building, shoot somebody through a window, and then... A
1:29:01
Speaker 1: Japanese codebreaker.
1:29:03
Speaker 10: He shot him right with a sniper rifle to his
1:29:05
Speaker 10: mouth from an adjacent building.
1:29:06
Speaker 1: All right, don't get graphic. It's almost lunchtime, but.
1:29:09
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:29:09
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. You know, the first Bond movie was
1:29:15
Speaker 1: Doctor No. And it's the only Bond movie where James
1:29:19
Speaker 1: Bond just shoots somebody. Not in a gunfight. Just goes
1:29:23
Speaker 1: in and assassinates somebody. It was the first movie, Dr. No.
1:29:28
Speaker 1: He's waiting in this guy, what was his name, Strangways
1:29:31
Speaker 1: or something? He's waiting in the guy's hotel room and
1:29:32
Speaker 1: the guy comes and Bond has the gun out and
1:29:35
Speaker 1: he makes him sit down, talks to him for a
1:29:37
Speaker 1: minute and he just shoots him in the head. And
1:29:39
Speaker 1: that's what a guy like James Bond would do, license
1:29:41
Speaker 1: to kill. He would have to go, he'd be sent
1:29:43
Speaker 1: to kill somebody. But they decided, and remember the first movie, Dr. No,
1:29:49
Speaker 1: nobody knew what James Bond was. It hadn't taken off yet.
1:29:52
Speaker 1: But they decided it didn't look right for him to
1:29:54
Speaker 1: shoot somebody in cold blood So they never did it again.
1:29:57
Speaker 1: That was the only time in any Bond movie I just,
1:29:59
Speaker 1: in cold blood, just shot somebody. Let's go to Blauvelt
1:30:02
Speaker 1: in Florida. Blauvelt, how you doing?
1:30:05
Speaker 15: Mark Simone, good morning.
1:30:06
Speaker 12: How are you?
1:30:07
Speaker 4: Good.
1:30:10
Speaker 15: Hey, you make me laugh so hard. I love your
1:30:13
Speaker 15: sense of humor. But on another note... There were two
1:30:17
Speaker 15: calls that you had on 9-11. That one girl, Jennifer,
1:30:22
Speaker 15: and then right after that, Dr.
1:30:24
Speaker 12: Bob.
1:30:25
Speaker 15: I'm listening to it. I'm driving home, and I was
1:30:28
Speaker 15: in tears. I played it again that night for my wife,
1:30:32
Speaker 15: and she was in tears.
1:30:34
Speaker 12: It was just.
1:30:36
Speaker 15: I mean, there's so many sad stories, good stories.
1:30:38
Speaker 1: She was quite a caller telling her story of heroism.
1:30:43
Speaker 12: It was the call of the year.
1:30:44
Speaker 15: You hit the nail on the head.
1:30:45
Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Stanley, South Carolina. Stanley,
1:30:49
Speaker 1: how you doing?
1:30:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mark.
1:30:51
Speaker 14: All these municipalities need money. They got the clocks on
1:30:58
Speaker 14: streetlights and red lights and all that. Why doesn't Trump
1:31:02
Speaker 14: deputize all the cops? and give the city five grand
1:31:05
Speaker 14: for each illegal that they get out of here.
1:31:08
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. I don't know what the hell
1:31:10
Speaker 1: he was talking about. Did you understand that? I don't
1:31:14
Speaker 1: understand anything he just said. Hey, when we come back,
1:31:17
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly will be with us next. We've got a

1:33:49
Speaker 4: I'm hanging up there, Mark.
1:33:51
Speaker 12: How are you?
1:33:51
Speaker 1: Good. So the book comes out today. And tell us
1:33:55
Speaker 1: about the book again. I found it riveting. It's not
1:33:57
Speaker 1: just America's story.
1:33:58
Speaker 4: Well, it's eyewitness history. It's what I've seen in my
1:34:01
Speaker 4: more than 50 years of journalism and with an emphasis
1:34:06
Speaker 4: on problem solving. So I'm sure you feel the same
1:34:12
Speaker 4: way I do. I'm so tired of these politicians who
1:34:16
Speaker 4: coming out and going, we're going to do, we're going
1:34:18
Speaker 4: to do, we're going to do, and then they do
1:34:20
Speaker 4: absolutely nothing. And the truth is that many of these
1:34:25
Speaker 4: problems cannot be solved by the government. So let's take affordability,
1:34:30
Speaker 4: which is the big headline for the Democratic Party this year, affordability.
1:34:36
Speaker 12: So what are you going to do? How are you
1:34:39
Speaker 12: going to make things more affordable for the working American? Silenced.
1:34:44
Speaker 10: You've been in California lately?
1:34:45
Speaker 4: That's a Democratic run, top to bottom. Any affordability out
1:34:49
Speaker 4: there at all? Have you seen any affordability? No.
1:34:52
Speaker 1: No?
1:34:54
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm tired of that, and it's getting me
1:34:59
Speaker 4: even angry. So in confronting America, I say, here is
1:35:03
Speaker 4: the problem, okay? Drug addiction. Here's how to solve the problem. Now,
1:35:10
Speaker 4: most of these politicians will run the other way. They'll
1:35:12
Speaker 4: scream in on the guts to do it. But we
1:35:16
Speaker 4: back it up, all of my problem-solving stuff, with facts
1:35:21
Speaker 4: and people who have done certain things to make life
1:35:25
Speaker 4: better in America. And so that's what it's about. It's
1:35:28
Speaker 4: not ideological, although I did send a book to three
1:35:32
Speaker 4: liberal friends and three conservative friends. And the conservatives were
1:35:36
Speaker 4: not really right-wingers. They're more moderates. And same thing with
1:35:41
Speaker 4: the liberals. They weren't socialists. And the left guys hated
1:35:46
Speaker 4: the book. They hated it. And the right guys read
1:35:51
Speaker 4: it in a day. And I said, well, what do
1:35:54
Speaker 4: you mean? It's not boring. I'm telling you stories forever.
1:35:57
Speaker 4: Telling you stories about everybody from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.
1:36:02
Speaker 4: You know, I'm there in the room.
1:36:04
Speaker 12: I'm there.
1:36:05
Speaker 1: Okay. Okay.
1:36:07
Speaker 4: They didn't like it because the book is heavy on
1:36:11
Speaker 4: individual behavior. That is what we have to get back to.
1:36:21
Speaker 4: So when you and I were raised, I'm a little
1:36:23
Speaker 4: older than you, but in our homes and our neighborhoods,
1:36:28
Speaker 4: we were held accountable for what we did, especially if
1:36:34
Speaker 4: it was bad. That's gone. Now it's excuse after excuse
1:36:39
Speaker 4: after excuse after excuse, and you can do the most
1:36:42
Speaker 4: heinous things to other people, and you're not punished. Look
1:36:45
Speaker 4: at this nut who ran on the field, Yankee Stadium,
1:36:49
Speaker 4: with the Palestinian flag. You know what happened to him?
1:36:52
Speaker 8: No.
1:36:53
Speaker 4: He got a ticket. He could have been driving 35
1:36:59
Speaker 4: in a 25 in front of a school in Mandan.
1:37:04
Speaker 4: He would have given them the same ticket. You got
1:37:07
Speaker 4: a ticket and nothing's going to happen. They'll drop it.
1:37:12
Speaker 4: They're not going to go through with it. And he's
1:37:14
Speaker 4: not going to pay it. And once you have that
1:37:19
Speaker 4: kind of a thing going on where there's no accountability
1:37:22
Speaker 4: at all on the personal level, I'm tired of it.
1:37:27
Speaker 4: And that's why I wrote the book.
1:37:29
Speaker 1: No, it's a great book. I've read it. It's confronting America.
1:37:32
Speaker 1: It's out. You order it today. You can go to
1:37:34
Speaker 1: a bookstore and buy it today. Uh, It's available wherever
1:37:38
Speaker 1: you get your books. Bill O'Reilly's new book, Confronting America.
1:37:42
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Obama. I remember that interview you did
1:37:45
Speaker 1: with him. But before and after the interview, what was
1:37:47
Speaker 1: your impression of him? What kind of guy was he?
1:37:49
Speaker 4: I admired that he came from nothing. He had a
1:37:54
Speaker 4: hippie mother who was running around Indonesia.
1:37:57
Speaker 12: No father.
1:37:57
Speaker 4: Father split. I think the day he was born, I
1:38:00
Speaker 4: think the father split Hawaii. I admired that. And he
1:38:04
Speaker 4: worked his way up to the presidency. But I remember
1:38:08
Speaker 4: my defining conversation with President Obama, and I had a
1:38:12
Speaker 4: few on and off the air. And he goes, you know, Bill,
1:38:16
Speaker 4: you're not really responsible for your success.
1:38:19
Speaker 1: Huh?
1:38:21
Speaker 10: I swear to God.
1:38:23
Speaker 4: And he goes, the government, we helped you do that
1:38:29
Speaker 4: a lot.
1:38:31
Speaker 10: I looked at him, Mr.
1:38:32
Speaker 4: President. I said, no government person has ever helped me, ever,
1:38:39
Speaker 4: except taking my money away from me. I said, I
1:38:44
Speaker 4: get your drift. That I have the right to pursue
1:38:48
Speaker 4: happiness and there are pathways to success in America that
1:38:51
Speaker 4: don't exist in many other countries.
1:38:53
Speaker 8: All right.
1:38:54
Speaker 4: But I had to do it. I had to come
1:38:57
Speaker 4: out of Levittown and make a success or a failure
1:39:02
Speaker 4: on my own. And everybody cutting my front lawn saying, hey, Bill,
1:39:06
Speaker 4: why don't you do this today? And that is the mindset. That, oh, no, no, no,
1:39:14
Speaker 4: if you're successful or affluent, you owe us. You owe
1:39:21
Speaker 4: us in Washington. No, I don't. I owe you the law.
1:39:26
Speaker 4: You're taxing me up to my eyebrows now. If Hochul wins,
1:39:29
Speaker 4: you're going to tax even more. And that's obviously driving
1:39:33
Speaker 4: people out of the state.
1:39:35
Speaker 12: I mean, come on.
1:39:36
Speaker 10: You can't pay any more.
1:39:42
Speaker 4: Yet they want more and more and more and more,
1:39:44
Speaker 4: and they waste, waste, waste. So anyway, that was my
1:39:48
Speaker 4: conversation with, and he just sees it like the government
1:39:51
Speaker 4: did all of this for you, and now you've got
1:39:53
Speaker 4: to give back. And I said, the government is not
1:39:57
Speaker 4: my mom. The government didn't drive me to hockey practice. Okay?
1:40:04
Speaker 10: Jeez. But that was an interesting conversation.
1:40:06
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:40:06
Speaker 1: Well, that's the kind of stuff you'll read in the book.
1:40:08
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating book. Confronting America. It just came out today.
1:40:11
Speaker 1: You can get it today. You can walk into a
1:40:13
Speaker 1: bookstore and walk out with it, or you can order
1:40:15
Speaker 1: it on Amazon. It'll come right away. Bill O'Reilly's new book,
1:40:19
Speaker 1: Confronting America. You know, these studies that look at the
1:40:23
Speaker 1: affordability problem, a lot of them show the big expense
1:40:26
Speaker 1: that most people have is taxes. That's a big, enormous
1:40:29
Speaker 1: percentage of their expense. So wouldn't that be the first
1:40:33
Speaker 1: thing you do is cut taxes if there's affordability problems?
1:40:36
Speaker 4: Well, I just don't get it. So the Democrats are
1:40:41
Speaker 4: on affordability, affordability, affordability, and they're going to raise taxes.
1:40:47
Speaker 4: There'll be a cap. So if you earn less than $ 40, 000,
1:40:50
Speaker 4: you'll get away. You won't have to pay. But everybody
1:40:56
Speaker 4: else in the $ 100, 000 to $ 200, 000 range, which is where
1:41:01
Speaker 4: most Americans are or are heading anyway, they're going to
1:41:05
Speaker 4: get it. So that's affordability? That's going to help you
1:41:09
Speaker 4: pay the utility bill? The government taking more of you?
1:41:12
Speaker 4: We're already getting taxed on your utility bill.
1:41:15
Speaker 12: You're getting taxed on everything.
1:41:18
Speaker 4: Everything. And then they run around going, oh, affordability. No,
1:41:23
Speaker 4: we're the party of affordability.
1:41:25
Speaker 12: They can raise taxes again on everything.
1:41:29
Speaker 4: And you just sit there and you go, oh, my God.
1:41:33
Speaker 4: And one of the things I wanted to mention to
1:41:34
Speaker 4: the WOR audience is one of the things I have
1:41:37
Speaker 4: in the book is I had a really good solution
1:41:42
Speaker 4: to poverty, and particularly children in poverty, and young boys
1:41:48
Speaker 4: who are out of control, who commit most of the crimes,
1:41:52
Speaker 4: not only in New York, but all.
1:41:54
Speaker 10: Over the country.
1:41:56
Speaker 4: And I couldn't get it done.
1:41:59
Speaker 15: And I had it.
1:42:01
Speaker 4: And Paul McCartney was involved. Bono was involved. Obama was involved.
1:42:06
Speaker 4: I had it. And that would have raised so much
1:42:11
Speaker 4: money to help these poor kids without any tax on anybody.
1:42:19
Speaker 4: And it didn't happen. And where do you see why?
1:42:22
Speaker 4: It was an amazing experience. So that's, you know, it's
1:42:28
Speaker 4: personal history. Nothing in there that I wasn't present for.
1:42:33
Speaker 4: No theory, no ideology. This is what I saw. This
1:42:38
Speaker 4: is what I did. And a lot of people aren't
1:42:41
Speaker 4: going to like it.
1:42:43
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great book. It's really interesting reading.
1:42:46
Speaker 1: It's Confronting America, Bill O'Reilly's new book. It's out today.
1:42:50
Speaker 1: You can actually walk into the store and walk out
1:42:52
Speaker 1: with it, or you can go to Amazon. You can
1:42:54
Speaker 1: download it right into your Kindle. Confronting America, Bill O'Reilly's
1:42:58
Speaker 1: new book. It's out today. Hey, we only got like
1:43:01
Speaker 1: a minute left here. President Trump with that $ 5, 000 check
1:43:04
Speaker 1: to every American. Apparently that wasn't in the teleprompter. It
1:43:07
Speaker 1: wasn't in the script. He just blurted that out.
1:43:10
Speaker 10: What a shock, right?
1:43:12
Speaker 1: What is he thinking? What is he doing when he
1:43:14
Speaker 1: does that?
1:43:15
Speaker 4: Well, look, it's not as absurd as people say it is,
1:43:19
Speaker 4: but he's got to put out the numbers. So if
1:43:22
Speaker 4: the government has raised all of this money through the
1:43:25
Speaker 4: tariffs and all that money is flown into the treasury,
1:43:29
Speaker 4: let's see it.
1:43:31
Speaker 12: How much money?
1:43:34
Speaker 4: How better off are we in your second term than
1:43:38
Speaker 4: we were under Biden as.
1:43:40
Speaker 12: Far as trade is concerned? How much money are we making?
1:43:44
Speaker 4: That's the flaw of the Trump administration. They don't get specific.
1:43:50
Speaker 4: You have a big chart out there. This is how
1:43:53
Speaker 4: much money the tariffs are bringing in. This is why
1:43:56
Speaker 4: it's beneficial to you. It is creating more jobs. There's
1:43:59
Speaker 4: no question about that. But is it driving prices down?
1:44:02
Speaker 4: Not yet because of Iran. But he just says stuff,
1:44:07
Speaker 4: and he doesn't back it up, which lets his enemies
1:44:11
Speaker 4: run wild. And, you know, he ought to have just
1:44:16
Speaker 4: some guy following him around with a big card that
1:44:20
Speaker 4: has all the facts. So we don't have to go
1:44:24
Speaker 4: through this every three days.
1:44:26
Speaker 1: But he's got 10 guys to do that and follow
1:44:28
Speaker 1: him around. But he still does it anyway.
1:44:29
Speaker 4: He's going to do it no matter what. But if
1:44:33
Speaker 4: the Republicans want to prosper, and I'm not a party apparatchik,
1:44:39
Speaker 4: they've got to rush in after he says stuff like
1:44:42
Speaker 4: that and explain it down to the micro level. It's
1:44:47
Speaker 4: $ 1. 2 trillion that he's committed for the $ 5, 000 checks. Well,
1:44:52
Speaker 4: if the tariffs have brought in $ 12 trillion. Yeah. Okay.
1:44:58
Speaker 4: If they brought in 12, then that's not a burden. Oh,
1:45:02
Speaker 4: but we don't know how much the tariffs are brought in. Yeah.
1:45:06
Speaker 4: And that's the flaw. Yeah.
1:45:08
Speaker 1: Well, uh, we're out of time, but everybody get bill
1:45:10
Speaker 1: O'Reilly's latest book. You're going to love this book. It's

Speaker 1: confronting America. It's all sorts of great stories. It takes
