Hour 1: Trump wants to get to the moon! · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Whoa! This is quite a week. This is like the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: final week. I mean, this is leading right into Labor Day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's officially summer well into September, but this
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: is really the final week of summer for a lot
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of people. Labor Day, I don't know how it got
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: here so fast, but it's here. We got a lot
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to get to. President Trump renaming things again. This drives
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the left nuts. They go crazy when he does this. Now,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you remember, these Democrats, these left-wingers, they renamed everything in America.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: They renamed every military base. They renamed towns. Remember, they
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: renamed a mountain. Mount McKinley had to become something else.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: They renamed 500 things without blinking a He renames one thing.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: They're up in arms. They can't believe it. Who the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: hell is he to rename anything? But Lake Ontario's Lake America.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: You know who plays along with this? It's Google. Yeah,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: if you look at Google Maps already, it says Lake America.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: They're getting a lot of flack for being a little
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: too busy catering to the Trump administration. But Google Maps,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: if you look on it, you'll see Lake America. Google
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Maps arguing... that they have to go by whatever the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: official government agency, uh, name is. And apparently president Trump
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: having control of that agency, uh, officially named it like America.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So Google will go along with it. Now there's that, uh, uh,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: there's the, uh, the Canadian prime minister, but, uh, Ontario,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the province, these provinces like Ontario have premiers. So, uh,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: This is premier Ford of Ontario. He's the premier. Then
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you see the guy and he looks like Ed Asner,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: most unimpressive looking guy, but he's all up in arms
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: about this Lake America.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: It was like something out of Saturday Night Live when
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: he signed a document saying change to Lake America. No
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: one's going to call it Lake of America. It's been
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Lake Ontario for hundreds of years. It's going to continue
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: being Lake Ontario. And it's just so, so disappointing.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Well, all right. We'll call it that for a few weeks,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: just to annoy you. Just to annoy you. As I say,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Google Maps, it says Lake America. But apparently they can
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: do this. If you're in Canada, it'll still say Lake Ontario.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But whenever Trump does anything that's a Democratic thing, Democrats
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: rename everything. Everything constantly. Bases. They tear down statues. They
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: rename cities. They rename neighborhoods. But as soon as he
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: does anything Democratic, they go nuts. So it was interesting.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: He visited NASA on Friday, and he's very interested in
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the moon, which he'll probably rename. It'll be probably Moon
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: America or something, but he's really interested in going back there.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And he's right. We shouldn't have abandoned the space program
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: when we did. We just gave up on it. It
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: was a big part of the Kennedy administration. In 1960, 61,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: he took office, and he said, by the end of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the decade, we'll land a man on the moon. It
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: sounded insane at the time. It sounded like something so
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: far in the future, but he did it by the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: end of the decade, 1969. So the president, before he
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: leaves office, which is two years before he leaves office,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: he wants to land a man on the moon. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: he thinks it's very important. Big speech at NASA on Friday.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: From the very beginning, America has always been a frontier
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: nation and Space is the highest of all the frontiers.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Our manifest destiny is to explore and settle this great unknown,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: carry forward the light of American liberty into the stars.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So, it's a great goal. You know, it was very
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: important that we landed a man on the moon in 1969,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and it led to important things if we landed a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: man on the moon. I don't know exactly what. It
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: looked good. The pictures were fascinating. And then we sent
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: more men to the moon and well, they walked around,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they collected some rocks. Remember that one astronaut hit a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: golf ball on the moon. The outside of that, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: don't know what the, they keep telling us that, well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: we're going to colonize it. We're going to have data
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: centers there. We're going to, I don't know how you're
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: going to do any of that, but it's a great goal.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Before the end of my term, American astronauts will return
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: to the lunar surface at We're looking forward to that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: We'll do it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: And we're then going to the next step. And when
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: we do, they'll plant this very important flag to mark
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: the site of the first permanent American settlement on the moon.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: They're going to have a settlement. They're building a settlement
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: up in the moon.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: All right. I don't know who want to live there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You know, some people move to Rockland County and say, well,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: that's a little too far to commute. But can you
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: imagine from the moon? I mean, what does that mean?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: We're going to live on the moon. What does that mean?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: They'll have a Starbucks. They'll have a Costco. There'll be
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a Chipotle. I mean, that's really all it means. So, hey,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: this is fascinating. Now, you know, Jimmy Fallon is still
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: on the air. That's the Tonight Show. I mean, that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the original late night show. It's hard to cancel that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But Jimmy Kimmel is very close to being canceled. Remember,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: his contract ended and they wouldn't give him a new contract.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They just put him on a one-year extension, which he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: on now. One-year extension, and he's taking the summer off.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the Howard Stern model, and it led
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to pretty much the end of Howard Stern, which we'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: get to coming up. But Colbert, fired, thrown off the air,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: low ratings. And who would they replace him with? Well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: they decided to do something a little different. They turned
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the time, the one hour on CBS at 11.30 a.m.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: over to Byron Allen he actually buys the time from
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: CBS and he does a late night show but it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: nothing like Kimmel or Colbert or Fallon there's no political
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: jokes there's no angry politics it's just old-fashioned comedy it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: called Comics Unleashed and they have four comedians on every
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: show and Byron Allen interviews them but it's all it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: all pre-arranged they know you know what jokes the guy
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: has so every question is to lead into part of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: his routine but it's very funny comics unleashed good comedy
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: show now here's the interesting part it is now beating
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: jimmy fallon on the tonight show it is now beating
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: jimmy kimmel live in the most important demo of all
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that's 18 to 49 that's the key demo for tv
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: shows byron allen's comic comics unleashed now beating fallon beating
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: kimmel it's actually uh uh is it a two-hour show Yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: he's also on against Late Night with Seth Meyers, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: he's beating Late Night with Seth Meyers. So this is interesting.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: This is old-fashioned comedy. This was the idea of Late
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Night TV. You'd have a few laughs, something entertaining, enjoyable
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: laughs before you go to sleep. The idea was not
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: get all riled up and screaming about Trump and hate
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Trump and get all mad and angry with Colbert. Uh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: so Byron Allen, I remember when first, first week, he
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: only had 600,000. Well, he's now beating in the key demo,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: which is the most important. He's beating Fallon. He's beating Kimmel.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So that's big news. You're seeing a turning point there. So, uh,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: as they're getting ready to dump Kimmel, ABC might be
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: looking at something like that. Let's just go to old
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: fashioned comedy. So, um, um, President Trump also, Iran, there
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: was action over the weekend. We bombed, hang on, Larrick Island,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: famous Larrick Island, which is important strategically for Iran. So
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: we took that out. And the president putting up an
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: AI video of the blowing up of Karg Island, a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: little threat that we might just get rid of Karg Island,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: which is their whole economy, And if that goes, that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: means Iran not only has no economy, but could not
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: possibly have one for another 10 years. That's how long
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it would take to rebuild all of that. Karg Island
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: is their entire oil storage, oil facility, their oil depots.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: When it comes to transporting oil and all that, it
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: comes from Karg Island. So without Karg Island, there is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: no more oil industry in Iraq, Iran. Now, the Strait
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz has been open. It's definitely been open. We've had...
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Something like 1,500 tankers come through there with many, many, many, many,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: many millions of gallons of oil. So that's one reason
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the price of oil has not spiked. It's gone up
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: a little, but there's no spike. Remember under Biden when
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: it was $ 110 a barrel? Right now, let me check.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: It's gone up a hair. See, that's what I mean.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: It just goes up just slightly. Right now, it is
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: $ 85 a barrel. Just up a little from what's normal. Hey,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: you got Crazy Mom Donnie. We'll get to him coming up.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul running against him, trying anything and everything. Do
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you know that it was actually illegal to dance in
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: a restaurant in New York State? There was a law
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: against it. You're not allowed to dance in a restaurant.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: It's an old law from the 20s or something, from
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a million years ago. So she's so desperate for trying
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: to score points in any possible way. She's repealed that law.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You can now dance in a New York City restaurant.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: All right. So she gets Kevin Bacon. Somehow Kevin Bacon
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: gets suckered into this, doing a commercial with her. Now,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: this is the problem with Kathy Hochul. She's sometimes not
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: very self-aware, doesn't realize how goofy she looks, doesn't realize
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: how dopey she is. doesn't realize how lame this commercial sounds.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: This is her and Kevin Bacon. Consultants convince them that
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: this is cute. This is wonderful. You see, the consultants
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: make money on the commercial. If you need to make
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: a commercial, they get a part of the production cost.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And then you got to air it, which means you
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: got to buy time. They get a piece of the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: time by. So consultants make a fortune. Campaign consultants make
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: all their money off commercials. So they'll convince you this
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: is a good idea. And when it's done, they'll say, wow,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: it's powerful. It's great. Take a listen to it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: New York, did you know that for years, dancing was
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: banned in many bars and nightclubs?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Banned? You mean it was illegal to dance?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's right, Kevin Bacon.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: If I was to come into this club and wanted
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: to say salsa? Nada. Macarena? Macanono. Whip?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Nay-nay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: The state used to demand you get a license to
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: allow dancing, but we tossed that rule out.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: What do you say to that, Kevin? I say... Let's dance. Oh, God. Yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: keep running that. Bruce Blakeman will pay for you to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: run that. He'll pay for the cost of running that ad.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: That is embarrassing. That is one awful ad. Hey, now,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: this is interesting. You know, the fake news just lies.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: On NBC, CBS, ABC. I mean, yeah, they slant the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: news to be anti-Trump. If there's anything anti-Trump, they report it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: If there's anything pro-Trump, they don't report it. If there's anything,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: if the Democrats do something horrible, they never report it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: They never mention it. So you got the slant, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: they actually also out and out lie. They just make
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: up lies all the time. You remember Trump put kids
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: in cages? It's a total lie, complete lie. Well, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: saw the pictures of the kids in cages. They were
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: all from the Obama administration. He's the one that put
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the kids in cages. They just lie about it. So
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: He's decided, President Trump, he's not wrong about this. This
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: might be a good idea. What do you do about it? Well,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: all these TV networks own TV stations and they need
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: licenses to do that. And they're FCC licenses. And it
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: is a violation of FCC rules to go on the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: air and just out and out lie. You're not supposed
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to do that. So Kristen Welker, NBC, Meet the Press,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: always broadcasting false information. is talking about the primaries and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: how Trump endorsing candidates. Well, she said he had a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: mixed record. Well, that's not true at all. He had
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: an incredibly successful record. Trump made 313 endorsements, had a 96%
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: success rate in GOP primaries, 100% success rate in GOP
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Senate primaries, 98% success rate in the House primaries. He
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: had a hugely successful endorsement. So she's just lying when
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: she said it was mixed results, mixed results. Yeah, 98-2.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That's not that mixed. So President Trump has called for
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the FCC to take action against her, which they can.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: They can go after NBC if you deliberately broadcast false information.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And what do you do about this fake news, the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: press totally conning people left and right? It's a dangerous
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: thing if it were on either side, trying to run
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: a democracy when you've got fake news, total fake news.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So about the only thing you can do about it
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: is just go after them for lies. Just get the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: law to come in and enforce this and try to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: stop them. Now, she's yelling and screaming, of course, but
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: she did lie. She was caught lying. Hey, I'll give
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you another example. President Trump is not going to speak
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: at the 9-11 ceremony. He's not coming to New York.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: He'll speak on 9-11 at the Pentagon. He'll be there
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: for that ceremony, but he's not coming to New York.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And you may have read, you may have heard, the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: reason he's not coming is they wouldn't allow him to speak.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That's the reason, because they're not going to allow him
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to speak. Well, that's fake news, total fake news. You
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: can credit Maggie Haberman and the New York Times for
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a totally fake, ridiculous, completely made-up story. That's not true.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: That's not the reason. And President Trump pointing that out,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: calling her a stalker. She really is horrible, just makes
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: up stuff all the time. Now, the fact is, nobody
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: speaks at the September 11th ceremony at Ground Zero. No
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: politicians speak. Now, the first couple of years, there were
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: some politicians that spoke, but in 2012, It was decided
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: that never again would they have politicians or anybody speak.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: They would only allow the family to speak. The families,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: they didn't want to distract from them. So it was
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: all about the family. So for the last 14 years,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: there had never been any speakers ever at Ground Zero
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and 9-11. And Trump has been to many of those
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: 9-11 ceremonies. And he said, I've been there over the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: years many times. No one ever speaks. There's no such
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: thing as making a speech there. So Haberman just made
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: that up, just completely made it up. It's totally false.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Trump posting, she's a stalker. She should be forced to
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: turn over any and all money that she's made through
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: her reporting on me. That's actually a pretty good idea.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: She just made up this whole fake story. And again,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: it's tough to run a democracy when you get all
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: this fake information being broadcast. So we've got a lot
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to get to. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie and
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: his schemes falling apart and a whole lot more. Mark
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Simone here, 9 to noon. It's three hours now, 9 a.m.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: to noon every weekday here on 710WOR.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, this fall we're going to have one of
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: those El Nino shows seasons you know el nino is
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: this pattern and the weather this solar whatever it is
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that creates terrible storms around the world terrible torrential rains
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: now the good news for us is it warms things
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: up so it'll be at its height in the winter
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: november december but it'll warm the temperatures which means we
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: won't get a lot of snow if this pattern holds
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: so that's that's pretty good remember we didn't have any
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: snow for like three winters four winters and then This
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: past winter, two blizzards. So El Nino, it's a horrible thing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: We don't really want it around. But it may help
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: prevent those kind of blizzards from happening. It just means
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of rain. Hey, this crazy Mamdani gave a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: great example of just how crazy he is. I mean,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: he likes to demonstrate for you every so often how
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: crazy this guy is. So at Rikers Island, a prisoner
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: dies in Rikers Island. He dies. Mamdani finds out somebody
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: in custody, Rikers Island, has died. Now, it turns out
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it's a maniac, disgusting, vicious killer who slashed people. Horrible,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: horrible killer. And it was in, I think it was
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: in the Bronx. Yeah, Bronx laundromat. It was like three
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: in the morning or something. But this guy just went
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and randomly slashed somebody doing their laundry. There was a
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: homeless guy sleeping there. Just butchered them up. Now, this
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: is a vicious killer. This is a guy who had
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: nearly 30 arrests on his rap sheet. This is the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: worst possible criminal. He was only 41, but he was
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: found dead in his cell at Rikers Island. Now, what
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: would you do if you're Mamdani? Well, Mamdani calls the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: family of the prisoner to console them. Never calls the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: family of the two people that he slashed and killed.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Never calls the families that were destroyed by this vicious killer.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: He calls the killer's family to mourn with them. The
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: families of the victims obviously are outraged. They can't believe
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: how cold-blooded and awful this Mamdani is about it. However,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, the families, one of them said
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: they're just grateful the guy died because they didn't want
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: to go through a trial. And if this guy had
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: gone on trial, they'd have to bring up the pictures,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the photographs, the details of how their loved ones were
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: slashed and cut up. So they're grateful not to have
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to go through that trial. This is a guy who
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: was in state prison for only about a month when
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: police said he was released. He was only there for this.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You know, you thank Cuomo for his no bail, no jail.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg for his don't lock anybody up for these
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: kind of people walking around. But thank God he's dead.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Thank God we don't have to go through a trial. Now,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: here's the other problem we got is this Khalid Sheikh
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Mohammed was to finally go on trial. He had confessed
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: at one point, but a military judge threw out the
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: confession over the weekend. This is going to delay the trial.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: This is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who plotted, who mastermind the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: 9-11 attacks. Now, when did we arrest him? It was 2007.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: It's almost 20 years.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Ago.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: This guy's been sitting in Guantanamo for 20 years. I mean,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: this guy, this is the mastermind of 9-11. He should
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: have just taken him out and shot him the first day.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: But he's got to go to trial. And the military
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: judges ruled that his confession was false. based on severe coercion,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you remember this was the Dick Cheney days of waterboarding
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: wasn't really torture. It seemed like torture, but it was
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: fake torture. But apparently there was real torture, from sleep
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: deprivation to very violent torture. Thank you, Dick Cheney. This
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: is the Dick Cheney Democrats have embraced over the last
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: few years. But it got the confession thrown out. They
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: think there's enough evidence maybe to go to trial with
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: this guy. But because of that, and they could appeal this,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: but if they appeal it, these appeals in these military
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: courts can take years to work their way through the courts.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: So this guy will probably die of old age before
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: he's ever actually put on trial. Prosecutors agreed not to
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: use the evidence from the torture interrogations on some other
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: cases and got them done. But they had planned to
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: use Muhammad's statements because they were pretty convincing. So I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: don't know this could be years and years and years
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: before you see this this mastermind of 9-11 ever actually
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: come to trial just terrible hey what the hell is
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton doing all over the place as Hillary Clinton
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: is suddenly speaking everywhere she's on every panel she's popping
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: up everywhere I hate to break it to you Democrats
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: you got a problem she's running in 2028 she sees
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: a vacuum you remember she's the most delusional old crow
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: in the world She's the old lady on Sunset Boulevard,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: drunk all the time. So she's watching MSNBC or whatever
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: she's watching. And when they talk about Buttigieg, maybe the
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: front runner, she looks at him as this crazy kid.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: She looks at all of these people as no talents.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: One of the greatest things in life was that Hillary
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Clinton never will be president.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: This is what's killing her. This was the one thing
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: in life. She wanted to be president. She was the
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: first lady, then she was the senator, then she was
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the secretary of state. And then that's it. She's on
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: her way to being president. It was great. Her moment,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: she's finally going to be president. The goal of her lifetime.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: And then a total rookie comes along. Barack Obama, been
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: in politics three weeks, wipes her out, takes the nomination
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: away from her. She can't believe that happened. How could
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: that have happened? Well, four years later, this is her moment.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Now she's going to be president. A total amateur. Guy's
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: never been in politics in his life. Donald Trump comes
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: along and just wipes her out. She can't believe it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: So she's got to try one more time. 2028, she
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: is running. That's why she's all over the place. You'll
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: notice Bill Clinton nowhere near her. Wants nothing to do
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: with it. You know, one of the reasons she lost
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: so badly both times is she wouldn't listen to Bill.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: She cut Bill out, cut him out completely. I mean,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: think about that. She's got Bill Clinton, probably the greatest
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: political consultant in the world, living in her house, and
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: she won't talk to him. She won't let him give
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: any advice. She won't let the staff get any advice
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: from him. I can do this myself. I can handle
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: this myself. Got wiped out both times, first by a rookie,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: second by an amateur, completely wiped out. Hey, at 710WOR,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone here.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: To have a tourism management plan back in 1974. And
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: we've had, we've updated that plan every 10 years. So
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: we've had a very intentional process to look at what
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: is the experience you want visitors to have. But most importantly,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: we really believe at our core, if it's a great
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: place to live, it'll be a great.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Place to visit.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: And having... Well, it's just, it's worked for us. And
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: it sounds kind of trite, but it's just, it's always
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: worked for us. And that part of making sure that
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: the people that provide the attractions are the people that
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: live in those beautiful historic houses.
• 24:11

• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute. 800- 3-2-1-0-7-10
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: is the number. Hey, speaking of going to the moon,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: President making that a goal for the rest of his term.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: By the end of his term, he wants to land
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: on the moon. But Friday, he also announced he's going
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to build a space academy. You know, you got West
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Point for the Army. You got the Naval Academy. You
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: got the Air Force Academy. He wants to build a
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: space academy. He said it'll be a top-line school. with
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: tough admission standards and a beautiful campus to train the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: next generation of civilian and military aerospace experts. It's actually
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a good idea because one thing about all these astronauts
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: and all the people they train, they do go into
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: the private sector and they do a lot of great stuff. Remember,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: some of our greatest pilots were from NASA. He said,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: we're going to have an academy for what people in
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: this room love the most, He was at the Johnson
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Space Center. That's the headquarters of NASA in Houston. Now,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you know why it's in Houston. That's because Lyndon Johnson
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: was president at the time from Texas, so he put
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: it in Houston. But where's the Space Academy going to be?
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: President Trump's saying, I'm choosing a location now. He said,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I'll announce a location very shortly. I don't know where
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: he's going to put it. It'll actually be a good
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: training ground, too, for the United States Space Force. Air Force,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and a lot of civilian spaceflight people, you know, for
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: the spaceflight industry. But it'll attract, train, graduate the very
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: best of our nation. Listen, these astronauts are heroes. They're
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: great at what they do. You've got to admire these astronauts.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: But would you want to do that? I don't find that...
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a great thing that they do, but
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: would you want to be sitting in that capsule, locked
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: up in that little capsule? I don't even like to
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: go on an airplane, a regular airplane. If you're just
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: in a capsule in the dark, flying through the dark
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: for days on end, it doesn't seem like a lot
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: of fun to me. I mean, you watch Formula One,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you say, wow, I'd love to be driving that car.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Or you watch somebody, you know, hang gliding. Well, that
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: looks like fun, but... locked in this dark space capsule
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: for days on end. It doesn't look like a lot
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: of fun. Try it. Go in your closet, close the door,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: sit there for two days. You bring enough food and everything,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: and sit in your closet for two days in the dark.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: See how much you enjoy this. And if you said
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: to yourself, this is fun, then maybe you'd want to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: go to this space academy. Anyway, we'll take some calls.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: 3-2-1-0-7-10. Hey, there's the Iranian president. You got the IRG.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: You got about 90 million people in Iran. This IRG,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: these are this revolutionary army. These are all the lunatics.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: There's 180,000 of them. But there's 90 million civilians. And
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: then you got this embattled Iranian president who runs the Iranian...
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Parliament sounds very impressive, but they work out of a cave,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: a bomb shelter. But even the Iranian president is admitting
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: now that the U.S. sanctions are crippling the country, that
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Iran is close to complete collapse. President Massoud Pesachish, whatever
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: his name is, he confessed Iran's economy has been dealt
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: massive blows recently. And he said, we're in a war situation.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: We've got to treat it like we're in a war situation.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: But he said they'll fight on. They'll keep going. But
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: even he admits, very, very, very close to collapse. Hey,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: speaking about collapsing, Howard Stern at Sirius is getting towards
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the end. You know, he had a contract. The last
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: contract was $ 100 million a year. for five years, $ 500
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: million contract. In the good old days, there were millions
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: of people listening to the Howard Stern channel. Now it's
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: more like 150,000. What happened? Well, he went woke, lost
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of his audience that way, made some Hollywood
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: friends by going woke and becoming a left-wing kook, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: lost most of his audience. You know, it was two channels.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: If you listen to the series, there was Howard 100,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and then Howard 101. It was two channels. One had
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the new stuff, one had all the older stuff. Sirius
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: now shutting down, that's right, shutting down the second Howard
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Stern channel. They just took it away from him. It'll
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: become Andy Cohen Radio. Yeah, so they've taken away one channel.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: As far as the remaining Howard Stern channel, well, he'll
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: do one show a week, one show a week. That's it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Just one show a week. And that's not all, all year.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: That's like 26 weeks a year or something. So we
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: have a vitamin shows on the weekends that are on
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: more than Howard Stern. This is not good for him.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And obviously that a hundred million a year, it's, Greatly
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: reduced by about 9 billion percent. So he's very, very, very,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: very low salary compared to the old one. Employees have
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: been laid off. He laid off 12 staffers the other
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: day via Zoom. They were sent home immediately following the call.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: They will receive severance packages based on how long they served.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: So serious, slowly winding down their relationship with Howard Stern.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. 800- 3-2-1-0-7-10 is the number. Let's
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I had a very odd name pop into my head
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. Jerry Girard. Remember him?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Jerry Girard. He was the Channel 11 sports guy, right?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: He was the Channel 11 sports guy. And that brings
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: me to two points. One, I noticed you haven't had
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: water on in a while.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, Warren is a regular on the morning show.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: He's here on our morning show every week.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll try to have him on once in a while.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: He's always good.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> All right, wait,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember. It was Channel 11 Action News,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: and it was Pat Harper, Steve Bosch, right?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: That was before my time. I was there when Tamsyn
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Fidel was on. I was usually either on the weekends
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: or during the week on occasion. And so Tamsyn Fidel
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: was on the weekends, and I can't even remember now.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Nothing personal, but you can't compare.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: It's not that long ago.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: You can't compare Warner Wolf to Jerry Gerrard. Warner Wolf
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: was like the biggest sportscaster in local TV. He was
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: like a giant.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, and Jerry was very low-key and very unconventional in
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: his approach to sportscasting.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he had the big Channel 4, Channel 2,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Channel 11, Channel 9. That was like nothing personal, but
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: that was like the roadshow kind of cast.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. Warner was the superstar, without a doubt.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: And who else was there? You had... Sal Marciano, right,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: for a while?
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Sal, yeah, I think Sal took over for, did Sal
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: take over for Warner? Warner got fired at some point,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: somewhere along the line, somewhere.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: And then you got Marvin Scott, who's like 112 years old,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: still doing something. Oh God, Marvin Scott, my favorite.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I would fix his tie before he went on, just
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: to distract him. And then all of a sudden, he
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: would be like, hey, I like this guy. He was
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a very nice guy, though. And Mr. G would come
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: by where I would sit with the program for the night.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: You got a joke for me tonight? I always had
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: a joke for him.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Very nice guy, Mr. G. In fact, if you check
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: out Mr. G's Instagram, he does videos every day now.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He's great. He's a great guy.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Good call, Mike, as always. Thanks for calling. Yeah, Kitee Tong. Remember,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: she was like a young junior starting at Channel 7,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and a lot of time has gone by. Kitee Tong, retired. Friday,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: take a listen.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: But it's time to move on.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I'm 80 years old now.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Nearly, as you know, Shirley.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: 80 years young.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I'm tired.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: And it's time to make room for the young bloods, right?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. She's a very nice woman, Katie Tong.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: But she looks great. Looks fine. I don't know. Maybe
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: she just wanted to get the hell out of there.
• 34:24
