0:00
Speaker 1: Now it is Mark Simone Show on sevent tenor.
0:08
Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be very hot today. This will be
0:11
Speaker 2: the hottest day of the week heat waved day to day.
0:13
Speaker 2: It'll get up into upper upper nineties. It's already like
0:16
Speaker 2: ninety two degrees. It'll cool down down to ninety two
0:20
Speaker 2: tomorrow and then should be okay for the rest of
0:23
Speaker 2: the week as far as temperature. But very very very
0:27
Speaker 2: hot today. So a lot to get to Iran. We'll
0:31
Speaker 2: get to Chuck Schumer, his bodily functions, horrifying people in
0:35
Speaker 2: the Congress. We'll get to a lot of hearings today,
0:39
Speaker 2: Jay Clayton, Todd Blanche, We'll get to Ice and Tom
0:43
Speaker 2: Holman and Joe Biden has caved into the Democratic leadership
0:50
Speaker 2: on something. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie and his
0:54
Speaker 2: disgusting shantytown. His homeless encampment goes for twelve blocks on
0:59
Speaker 2: the West Side, absolutely disgusting. We get to Leechennai's disease
1:03
Speaker 2: and daylight saving time, and a lot more coming up.
1:06
Speaker 2: And we've been bombing around heavily all night, just pounding
1:09
Speaker 2: it all night long, hitting all kinds of targets. President
1:14
Speaker 2: Trump has said we'll keep this up for a couple
1:17
Speaker 2: of weeks and if they don't make a peace agreement.
1:21
Speaker 2: I mean, we're hitting military targets right now. But he said,
1:24
Speaker 2: if they don't come to an agreement in the next
1:27
Speaker 2: few weeks, they'll start to go after energy targets, power plants, bridges, infrastructure.
1:34
Speaker 2: This is normal in warfare. You know when you go
1:36
Speaker 2: to war, that's the first thing you do is you
1:38
Speaker 2: hit take out all the bridges, take out the power plants,
1:41
Speaker 2: take out the water. It's the first thing you do
1:42
Speaker 2: in anyway Iraq war. We did it to day one
1:45
Speaker 2: and two, but the President says I'll save that for last.
1:49
Speaker 2: We hope we don't have to do it, but if
1:51
Speaker 2: we have to do it, we'll do it. He said,
1:53
Speaker 2: We're going to continue to hit them, night after night
1:55
Speaker 2: after night. Actually said next week if it gets really
1:59
Speaker 2: bad for them, because next week, if they haven't made
2:01
Speaker 2: an agreement, will start on power plants straight Ohorn Moose
2:06
Speaker 2: is closed right now. We can reopen it when we
2:08
Speaker 2: want to. We have. Before there was this Trump plan
2:12
Speaker 2: to charge ships twenty a twenty percent toll to come through.
2:18
Speaker 2: The President dropped that you follow the fake news if
2:22
Speaker 2: you read the New York Times or MSNBC. They'll make
2:25
Speaker 2: it look like he was just flip flopping like crazy.
2:28
Speaker 2: Why he backed off? The President backed off. Actually, what
2:31
Speaker 2: happened is all the golf states called him and asked him.
2:36
Speaker 2: They actually made a deal with him, don't do the
2:38
Speaker 2: tolls and instead we'll take the same amount of money
2:41
Speaker 2: and will invest it in the United States, which is
2:44
Speaker 2: a much better deal. So no tolls. Golf leaders have
2:47
Speaker 2: all agreed will invest tremendously in the United States instead
2:51
Speaker 2: of paying that fee. These investments will be massive, but
2:54
Speaker 2: at the same time very good for them and for us.
2:58
Speaker 2: So it's a pretty good deal that he struck. Now,
3:01
Speaker 2: you know, the Iraqi president was in the White House
3:05
Speaker 2: yesterday for meetings. Now it's hard to ever imagine this,
3:10
Speaker 2: but we're now working closely with Iraq. We got all
3:13
Speaker 2: our oil companies in there about to get tons of
3:17
Speaker 2: oil out of there. One reason we're doing this is
3:18
Speaker 2: it'll completely screw up Iran in the future. Will dramatically
3:23
Speaker 2: increase oil production and oil export out of Iraq, which
3:27
Speaker 2: will screw up Iran. I know it sounds kind of
3:30
Speaker 2: stranger Iraq in the White House, but you know, it's
3:33
Speaker 2: like Vietnam. Nobody could ever imagine that we'd be friends
3:37
Speaker 2: with Vietnam one day. They were our worst enemy for years.
3:40
Speaker 2: Nobody could imagine ever there'd be a time where American
3:44
Speaker 2: tourists would love to go to Vietnam and stay at
3:47
Speaker 2: the Saigon Four Seasons, the Hanoi Ritz Carlton. We never
3:50
Speaker 2: thought we'd see that, But that's what happened. Simply with Japan.
3:54
Speaker 2: I mean, there was a time after World War Two
3:56
Speaker 2: you could never imagine we'd have any kind of friendly
3:59
Speaker 2: relationship with your But as who said it, some great
4:04
Speaker 2: statesmen said it, we don't have permanent friends, we don't
4:07
Speaker 2: have permanent foes. We only have permanent interests. So Iraq
4:12
Speaker 2: yesterday meeting with the President, well, we don't think we need.
4:14
Speaker 3: The military there anymore. It's a very big operation. And
4:20
Speaker 3: what we do have is the oil companies are all
4:22
Speaker 3: going in now when they're doing partnerships with Iraq, and
4:27
Speaker 3: they're getting along very well.
4:29
Speaker 2: Now it's going to be just like Vietnam. There's gonna
4:32
Speaker 2: be a Baghdad Hilton of Baghdad four Seasons. You're going
4:36
Speaker 2: to walk around Iraq. There's gonna be Starbucks everywhere they'll be.
4:42
Speaker 2: It'll just be like Vietnam. You know how many times
4:43
Speaker 2: you somebody said we're going to Vietnam on their vacation.
4:46
Speaker 2: You're going to see people going to Iraq on their
4:47
Speaker 2: vacation within a couple of years. We're now friends with that.
4:51
Speaker 3: Iran was a big burden on Iraq because they were
4:56
Speaker 3: the bully of the Middle East, as you know, and
4:58
Speaker 3: we were just talking about that. But they're not going
5:01
Speaker 3: to have that problem anymore because Iran has been very
5:04
Speaker 3: much destabilized and really their military powers just a tiny
5:12
Speaker 3: fraction of what it was just four months ago.
5:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, so no matter what happens at this point, the
5:16
Speaker 2: threat of Iran, the bully of the Middle East, threatening everybody,
5:20
Speaker 2: they really can't threaten. They have no military left, no
5:22
Speaker 2: air Force, no navy. They have some defensive capability, but
5:26
Speaker 2: that's about it. And money wise, we've completely bankrupted them,
5:31
Speaker 2: shutting down their oil exports, so they really are totally
5:36
Speaker 2: out of it now as far as threatening the whole region. Hey,
5:39
Speaker 2: today there's a lot of testimony Todd Blanche confirmation hearings
5:44
Speaker 2: for Attorney General J. Clayton, who is a great guy.
5:48
Speaker 2: He was our US attorney here in the Manhattan. Great guy.
5:51
Speaker 2: He's going to go through confirmation hearing. He's now they're
5:53
Speaker 2: going to when Democrats really know how to do these
5:57
Speaker 2: confirmation hearings. It's all theatrics, it's all the cameras, it's
6:00
Speaker 2: all to create clips to play all over the fake news.
6:04
Speaker 2: So they'll yell and scream at Todd Blanche about anything
6:07
Speaker 2: and everything. Same thing with Jay Clayton. With that Todd Blanche.
6:10
Speaker 2: They're yelling at him about the Epstein files. They really
6:13
Speaker 2: got to give up on these Epstein files. I mean,
6:15
Speaker 2: nice try, but there was nothing there. I mean, it's
6:18
Speaker 2: ugly stuff about Epstein, but that's it. It's pretty much Epstein.
6:22
Speaker 2: Maybe Bill Gates, Prince Andrew and a bunch of Democrats
6:26
Speaker 2: who got caught in there. But that's about it. Also,
6:30
Speaker 2: later today Jay Clayton will testify. They'll go after Clayton
6:36
Speaker 2: for a number of things. The New York Times reporters
6:39
Speaker 2: that the Department of Justice has subpoena. They will go
6:42
Speaker 2: after that. Now, if you watch the fake news or
6:44
Speaker 2: read the New York Times or any of that, you're
6:47
Speaker 2: getting the impression that it's law fare, that the Justice
6:51
Speaker 2: Department is going after they're going to try to prosecute
6:55
Speaker 2: these New York Times reporters just awful. Well, that's not
7:00
Speaker 2: at all what's happening. Nobody in New York Times is
7:02
Speaker 2: getting prosecuted or charged with anything. They're just being subpoenaed
7:07
Speaker 2: as witnesses in a case. They seem to know a
7:10
Speaker 2: lot about the new presidential jet, the new Air Force
7:12
Speaker 2: won more than they're supposed to know, some of it classified,
7:16
Speaker 2: So they're just being subpoena to testify about where these
7:19
Speaker 2: leaks are coming from. So that's a pretty reasonable thing. Hey,
7:24
Speaker 2: Joe Biden is going to do his big book tour.
7:28
Speaker 2: This is a big thing for Biden. It's a money
7:30
Speaker 2: making thing, although he's going to be quite surprised that
7:33
Speaker 2: how nobody buys the book and he's not going to
7:35
Speaker 2: make a lot of money. But he's even put out
7:38
Speaker 2: a two minute trailer for the book. He's trying to
7:41
Speaker 2: make it look like he was Winston Churchill, like he
7:43
Speaker 2: was a great statesman.
7:45
Speaker 4: He was just.
7:47
Speaker 2: A bird's eye, frozen vegetable for four years, didn't know
7:50
Speaker 2: where he was, didn't do anything. There was no cabinet meeting, nothing,
7:55
Speaker 2: didn't know what was going I did absolutely nothing except
7:58
Speaker 2: the only thing he really was active on was that
8:00
Speaker 2: law fare. He had the dirtiest attorney general ever prosecuting
8:04
Speaker 2: Donald Trump in multiple places at once. That was basically
8:07
Speaker 2: his main activity. So the book was supposed to come
8:12
Speaker 2: out in the early fall, you know, October something like that.
8:15
Speaker 2: September October, that's the best time to launch a book.
8:18
Speaker 2: That's the big time for a book launch. And if
8:21
Speaker 2: you're the publisher and you gave this guy, you overpaid
8:24
Speaker 2: this guy by millions, and he's a former president, well
8:27
Speaker 2: obviously it's September October. That's when you do the book,
8:31
Speaker 2: perfect time for a book release. Well, the Democratic leaders
8:35
Speaker 2: have gotten to Biden and pretty much ordered him to
8:39
Speaker 2: delay that book release till late November, which is not
8:43
Speaker 2: the best time.
8:45
Speaker 4: Now.
8:45
Speaker 2: The reason is a book tom means Biden is all
8:49
Speaker 2: over the place, all over TV, and he's going to
8:51
Speaker 2: stumble and make gaps and look brain dead and not
8:54
Speaker 2: know where he is. And the Democrats don't want people
8:57
Speaker 2: reminded of all this, and they think it'll back affect
9:00
Speaker 2: the mid term elections in November. So that's why they've
9:04
Speaker 2: pretty much forced him to postpone the book release. Till
9:08
Speaker 2: after the midterms. It could really screw up Democrats in
9:11
Speaker 2: the midterms to get a look at Biden again. People
9:14
Speaker 2: have you know, Democrats have this great skill at amnesia
9:18
Speaker 2: forgetting all the horrible things they did, like four years
9:21
Speaker 2: of telling us Biden was just fine and he was okay.
9:25
Speaker 2: So it'll be a late November Kamala Harris if she
9:28
Speaker 2: ever wants to run, this is a problem for her.
9:31
Speaker 2: If she wants to run, she's got to just be
9:33
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. She can't be associated with feeble, crazy old
9:36
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, so this book release will not be good
9:40
Speaker 2: for her. So yesterday was these were interesting hearing. Supreme
9:44
Speaker 2: Court needs more funding. They need a budget increase to
9:48
Speaker 2: cover the security because of a crazy Democrats and they've
9:53
Speaker 2: riled up their crazy lunatics out there. There've been all
9:57
Speaker 2: kinds of threats on Supreme Court justices, people trying to
10:00
Speaker 2: break into their house, people shooting at them, assassins being caught. Remember,
10:04
Speaker 2: even Chuck Schumer called for terrible things to happen these justices,
10:09
Speaker 2: and sure enough, the next day a lunatic was coming
10:13
Speaker 2: up the lawn of It was a Cavanaugh with a gun,
10:16
Speaker 2: a knife, rope, handcuffs, the whole thing. Luckily they caught him,
10:21
Speaker 2: police arrested him, but dramatic testimony amy Cony Barrett talking
10:25
Speaker 2: about how tough it was and.
10:27
Speaker 5: Threats to my life were particularly intense. A few years ago,
10:30
Speaker 5: around the time of the dob Sleek, my security details
10:33
Speaker 5: sent me home with a bulletproof vest and I carried
10:36
Speaker 5: it into my house, put it into my bedroom, dropped
10:38
Speaker 5: it down on a table, turned around, and my twelve
10:41
Speaker 5: year old son was standing in the doorway of my
10:43
Speaker 5: bedroom and he wanted to know what it was and
10:46
Speaker 5: why I had it, and I didn't know how to respond.
10:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Supreme Court justice used to be a
10:53
Speaker 2: pretty quiet job and certainly not something where you had
10:56
Speaker 2: to really worry about security. But it's just terrible. So
11:01
Speaker 2: hopefully they'll get the funding increase. The big news of
11:04
Speaker 2: the day, Chuck Schumer is on the Senate floor speaking
11:10
Speaker 2: and let's out an enormous fart. Are you supposed to
11:16
Speaker 2: say that word on the ear? I guess you can
11:17
Speaker 2: say it, but Schumer, it was very loud and clear.
11:21
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes they have some blooper where you think
11:24
Speaker 2: it sound like the guy farted the newscasters, and you
11:27
Speaker 2: can't be one hundred This was one hundred percent, absolute definite.
11:31
Speaker 2: Everybody looked startled. Even Schumer kind of laughed. He tried
11:35
Speaker 2: not to laugh, but he almost laughed. But it was loud.
11:37
Speaker 2: It was clear. So this is Schumer now, besides the
11:40
Speaker 2: fact that he's been a cheap, pandering, hustling politician, just
11:46
Speaker 2: a cheap politician. The glasses get bigger every year. Now
11:50
Speaker 2: he's like he's Uncle Junior on the Sopranos. Just remember
11:54
Speaker 2: Uncle Junior just farting into that sofa cushion for the
11:57
Speaker 2: last few years. That's what Schumer's because time for him
12:01
Speaker 2: to go. I know, he's got a couple of years left.
12:03
Speaker 2: He should step down right now and just get out
12:06
Speaker 2: of there. Well, actually, maybe maybe he shouldn't because Hockel
12:10
Speaker 2: then could appoint AOC or somebody. Yeah. I mean, the
12:15
Speaker 2: good thing about Schumer he does absolutely nothing except go
12:18
Speaker 2: around collecting donations. Hey, Ice, there's this two incidents, two shootings,
12:25
Speaker 2: one in Maine where Ice had to shoot somebody who
12:28
Speaker 2: was trying to ram them with his vehicle. He wasn't
12:31
Speaker 2: the guy that we're looking for, but he tried to
12:32
Speaker 2: ram him with his vehicle. This was a vehicle stop.
12:35
Speaker 2: So Homan always steps into quiet things down and said,
12:39
Speaker 2: let's not do any vehicle stops for a while. Here
12:43
Speaker 2: here's Holman.
12:44
Speaker 6: I'm confident they're going to get back to their policy
12:47
Speaker 6: of vehicle stops. But they're doing, you know, what they
12:49
Speaker 6: believe is unecessary short term pause just to look at
12:52
Speaker 6: it and make sure everything's good.
12:54
Speaker 2: Now. He called for a halt to vehicle stops for
12:57
Speaker 2: a while, but then President Trump countermanded order and said
13:01
Speaker 2: keep them up. But then Holman called Trump. They've spoken
13:04
Speaker 2: at length, and I think Trump has agreed to just
13:07
Speaker 2: give it a couple of weeks rest. Maine has gone
13:11
Speaker 2: crazy left wing, and you know, this is like Minnesota.
13:16
Speaker 2: Homan had to go there, spent a couple of weeks
13:18
Speaker 2: quiet everything down.
13:19
Speaker 6: This is going to be a short term review. So
13:21
Speaker 6: ICE shows comfortable that their agents are safe, they're doing
13:24
Speaker 6: the right thing, and get back to, you know, doing
13:27
Speaker 6: what they do best, which is, you know, making vehicle stops.
13:30
Speaker 6: But like I said, I'll say it again, but there
13:32
Speaker 6: are options during the short time period to rest they
13:34
Speaker 6: land before he gets in a moving weapon and arrest
13:38
Speaker 6: them after it he stops.
13:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Maine is now a crazy left wing place.
13:44
Speaker 2: How did that happen? Well, it's a very small population
13:46
Speaker 2: in Maine. Small population means just a handful of people
13:51
Speaker 2: can come in there and change the whole demographic, the
13:53
Speaker 2: whole voter makeup. So all these crazy left wing people Massachusetts,
13:58
Speaker 2: the Cambridge crowd. Remember during the pandemic, a lot of
14:00
Speaker 2: people decided to leave the city moved to the suburbs.
14:03
Speaker 2: Well in Boston that happened, and suburbs of them were Maine.
14:07
Speaker 2: So a lot of people moved to Maine. A lot
14:08
Speaker 2: of left wingers changed everything there. That's how these crazy
14:13
Speaker 2: Grand Platinum types can run in Maine now. And the
14:16
Speaker 2: protesters they're all up there.
14:18
Speaker 1: That's the f out of our states.
14:22
Speaker 2: So it's not the old main that you remember. It's
14:25
Speaker 2: a whole different place. Hey, coming up, we'll get to
14:27
Speaker 2: Mayor Mom Donnie and this awful shanty town. It started
14:31
Speaker 2: out as a homeless encampment on the west side near
14:34
Speaker 2: the Intrepid Big tourist attraction, and it's grown. The twelve
14:38
Speaker 2: blocks they've tapped into street lights and all that to
14:43
Speaker 2: steal electricity. So it's like these California, San Francisco, La.
14:48
Speaker 2: Homeless cities where it just goes for blocks and blocks
14:52
Speaker 2: and blocks. They've got electricity, it's gonna It's unbelievable that
14:58
Speaker 2: a mayor would allow that to happen. Any other mayor,
15:01
Speaker 2: as soon as it was half a block, would have
15:03
Speaker 2: cleaned it up. This is twelve blocks in growing. So
15:06
Speaker 2: we'll get to that throughout the program. Hey, we'll take
15:08
Speaker 2: some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
15:12
Speaker 2: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
15:16
Speaker 2: seven tens.
15:17
Speaker 7: It breaks out in every show, Mark simone on seven ten.
15:22
Speaker 2: Wr Hey, let's they can calls. Eight hundred three to
15:27
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten is the number. Let's go
15:29
Speaker 2: to Carol in Stonybrook. Carol, how you doing.
15:33
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. I listened to you every day. I
15:35
Speaker 7: think you're terrific, and I agree with ninety nine percent
15:38
Speaker 7: of what you say. But yesterday you mentioned that you
15:42
Speaker 7: thought Kassy Hockel did the right thing by putting a
15:44
Speaker 7: hold on data centers, and you did explain why. But
15:49
Speaker 7: I just think she's pandering to her left wing of
15:51
Speaker 7: the party. I don't think it's in the best interests
15:54
Speaker 7: of New York State. I think the data centers will
15:57
Speaker 7: go to other states, and I think it's just puts
16:00
Speaker 7: New York further and further behind.
16:02
Speaker 2: Well, we'll always have data centers because they're proposing like
16:06
Speaker 2: hundreds of them all over New York State. It's hard
16:09
Speaker 2: to believe Kathy Hokle could be right about anything. So
16:11
Speaker 2: you have a good point there, But the problem is
16:14
Speaker 2: the concerns about how much water they use electricity.
16:16
Speaker 7: Well, even President Trump said that they would supply their
16:19
Speaker 7: own energy and water.
16:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that none of them that are applying here
16:23
Speaker 2: in New York have proposed that or shown how they
16:25
Speaker 2: can do. Once they show how they can do that,
16:26
Speaker 2: they'll be fine.
16:27
Speaker 7: Well, wouldn't it be better to compromise with them and say,
16:30
Speaker 7: these are the requirements before you build your data center.
16:33
Speaker 7: You do X, Y and Z, and then you proceed.
16:36
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, she said, she's talking all these people. They'll
16:39
Speaker 2: figure it out.
16:42
Speaker 7: It just reminds me of another thing like with not
16:45
Speaker 7: only Kassy Hockel, but Andrew Croomo not allowing fracking in
16:48
Speaker 7: New York. And that's why our bills, our electric bills
16:52
Speaker 7: are so high, and we get the energy from Pennsylvania because.
16:57
Speaker 2: A huge difference. Fracking produces energy for the town and everybody,
17:01
Speaker 2: whereas the data center uses it and takes it away
17:03
Speaker 2: from the town.
17:05
Speaker 7: Well, supposedly they're supposed to supply their own energy when
17:08
Speaker 7: they build.
17:09
Speaker 2: Them, I know, but that turned out to be a
17:11
Speaker 2: bit of a myth. No, none of them have shown
17:12
Speaker 2: they can do that yet. They'll become a point where
17:14
Speaker 2: maybe they can. But she's just waiting for that point. Yeah,
17:18
Speaker 2: it's not wrong to be a little cautious on these
17:20
Speaker 2: data centers. But thanks for Colin. Let's go to Mike
17:23
Speaker 2: and Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
17:28
Speaker 4: It's not only the lufties up in Maine that are protesting,
17:31
Speaker 4: but even dopey Susan Collins came out with a negative
17:34
Speaker 4: comment about the incident, which she could have certainly framed
17:38
Speaker 4: more positively for the other side, you know, like your
17:42
Speaker 4: call and try to run down ice agents.
17:44
Speaker 2: Now you remember, that's always been Susan Collins, she's always been.
17:47
Speaker 2: He's all over the She's not a Trump person, she's
17:49
Speaker 2: not a Trump supporter, she's not anything like that, but.
17:53
Speaker 4: She always How was I'm sorry, I've been How was
17:55
Speaker 4: the dinner with Milecloff and Jimmy Sayala.

18:17
Speaker 4: It and then any and did you learn anything new or.
18:22
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you why you got to read this book,
18:24
Speaker 2: Love Johnny Carson. I knew everything. I spent my whole
18:27
Speaker 2: life studying Johnny Carson. I knew everything there was to know.
18:30
Speaker 2: I read this book and learned like ten thousand things
18:32
Speaker 2: I didn't know. This guy, Mark Malcoff, best researcher ever,
18:36
Speaker 2: has come up with stuff, little details, all sorts of stuff.
18:39
Speaker 4: I listened to his podcast and I actually I've been
18:43
Speaker 4: saving the one interview he does with you for a
18:47
Speaker 4: long Ride because I've listened to a lot of the
18:50
Speaker 4: other ones. So you know the one that with you.
18:53
Speaker 2: It started with he does the you can get him
18:56
Speaker 2: right now, worry you get podcasts called the Carson Podcast.
18:59
Speaker 2: He's interviewed every star that was ever on Johnny Carson
19:02
Speaker 2: and everybody they ever worked there, and it's fascinating the
19:06
Speaker 2: Carson Podcast.
19:07
Speaker 4: Yes, some really obscure people that he spoke to.
19:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, but sometimes the obscure ones, the guy that pulled
19:13
Speaker 2: the curtain open for him. Sometimes those are the most
19:15
Speaker 2: fascinating interviews, the stuff.
19:17
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely.
19:20
Speaker 2: All right, well, good stuff, Mike, thanks for calling. But
19:22
Speaker 2: get the book. Love Johnny Carson. Listen to the Carson Podcast.
19:26
Speaker 2: You'll love it. Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich,
19:29
Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey.
19:31
Speaker 1: Thanks, Mark appreciated. Good morning Vincent, Good morning San Diego.
19:34
Speaker 1: I got my buddy Ray Geiga down here. Came down
19:36
Speaker 1: for a week from Long Island for my birthday and
19:38
Speaker 1: Mark and he says, he can't wait. You'd go off
19:40
Speaker 1: the plane tomorrow and go check out this homeless encampment
19:44
Speaker 1: twelve blocks. I can't believe something's gone that big.
19:46
Speaker 8: Now.
19:47
Speaker 1: My dad's going to be ninety nine in November. The
19:49
Speaker 1: woman that comes in and spends five days a week
19:52
Speaker 1: with him, Okay, she's got a.
19:55
Speaker 2: Mistress or something. No good for him.
20:01
Speaker 1: When I'm ninety nine, maybe that's the episode. But this
20:04
Speaker 1: woman has relatives up in Jersey who live next to
20:06
Speaker 1: data center, and they said the noise at night that
20:10
Speaker 1: these things produce. They shut them off during the day
20:11
Speaker 1: so people don't complain, but at night you can't even sleep.
20:15
Speaker 1: People have to run fans in their bedrooms to cover
20:17
Speaker 1: the noise. These data centers are so loud. And the
20:19
Speaker 1: other thing is you can always produce your electricity, but
20:22
Speaker 1: a data center can't create your own water. They have
20:25
Speaker 1: to tap into a water supply in the ground or
20:27
Speaker 1: well or somewhere, so they are going to be using
20:30
Speaker 1: the locals water.
20:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll figure it all out. They'll figure out how
20:32
Speaker 2: to do soltheast problem, but it's going to take a while.
20:34
Speaker 2: That's why I don't mind a year moratorium for New
20:37
Speaker 2: York State. But thanks for calling. Let's go to a
20:40
Speaker 2: rich fair Lawn, New Jersey. Rich, How you doing good.
20:43
Speaker 9: On good morning? And thank you Mark for taking my call.
20:47
Speaker 9: I want to know why they stupidity of the people
20:51
Speaker 9: by killing them shelves with these audiblebiles. When you're pulled
20:55
Speaker 9: over by a cop, why don't you pull on a
20:58
Speaker 9: side at the road and they will talk to you
21:01
Speaker 9: and tell you what's going on. No, they want to
21:03
Speaker 9: be belligerent, and what happens. The one in Maine, he
21:07
Speaker 9: started driving around in circle.
21:09
Speaker 2: Well after he was shot. After he was shot, he
21:13
Speaker 2: was I guess his foot was still on the gas
21:14
Speaker 2: and it kept going around in circles. But he did
21:17
Speaker 2: try to run the officers over. If you're illegal out there,
21:20
Speaker 2: or any sort of criminal, I think you should just
21:23
Speaker 2: start to realize this tactic of I'll run them over
21:26
Speaker 2: with my car is not effective. In fact, everybody that's
21:30
Speaker 2: tried it ends up with bullets in them. So I
21:32
Speaker 2: would give up on that technique. If the cops are
21:35
Speaker 2: after you, out of all the things you could do,
21:38
Speaker 2: trying to run them down with your car, it's not effective.
21:41
Speaker 2: It doesn't work. Leave that tactic out. Hey, when we
21:45
Speaker 2: come back, the brilliant Steve Forbes will be with us.
21:48
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him about We'll talk to him about
21:50
Speaker 2: that homeless camp of the shanty town. Also, he's the
21:53
Speaker 2: expert on inflation. We just had the best inflation report.
21:56
Speaker 2: We'll get to that and more coming up. We'll get
21:59
Speaker 2: to Howard Stern a little later. All just ahead seven tor.
22:04
Speaker 8: Mark Zimo Live from the WR life Back Studios.
22:10
Speaker 2: Well, we bring you the smartest people on earth. Steve Forbes,
22:13
Speaker 2: the chairman of the Forbes Media and author of some
22:16
Speaker 2: great books. Geny's latest book, Inflation by Steve Forbes. Go
22:19
Speaker 2: to Amazon get the book Inflation. Of course, read Forbes
22:23
Speaker 2: and learn a lot. Steve Forbes, How you doing doing fine?
22:27
Speaker 2: Thank you?
22:29
Speaker 8: Waiting for the big soccer matches. Sorry the US didn't
22:33
Speaker 8: make it, but I, like many, I've become a soccer fan.
22:38
Speaker 8: Never thought of what happened.
22:40
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta be honest, I'm waiting for it to
22:42
Speaker 2: be over Sunday night and everything to go back to normal,
22:44
Speaker 2: and it's it's.
22:48
Speaker 8: Oh, by the way, Yankee won the in the All
22:53
Speaker 8: Star Game last night, So maybe maybe that's a harbinger
22:56
Speaker 8: that the Yankees will really get back in the groove
23:00
Speaker 8: and finally win a World Series, which will be essential
23:03
Speaker 8: for saving civilization. You know, the last time the Yankees
23:05
Speaker 8: won the World Series was two thousand and nine. Wow,
23:09
Speaker 8: the world's been in trouble since then.
23:11
Speaker 2: So how do you become a soccer fan? What am
23:13
Speaker 2: I missing? It just seems that there's hardly any scoring.
23:16
Speaker 2: It takes forever to run around in shorts. What am
23:20
Speaker 2: I missing?
23:22
Speaker 8: Well, it's like any sports do you either get hooked
23:24
Speaker 8: into it or not. A lot of people baseball as snoozeball,
23:29
Speaker 8: a lot of people watching golf. It's like watching grass grow.
23:33
Speaker 8: So it's just a matter of what it takes. So
23:37
Speaker 8: who knows what gets us addicted?
23:40
Speaker 2: Hey, you wrote the book Inflation. It's a great book.
23:43
Speaker 2: Everybody should get it. But you literally wrote the book
23:45
Speaker 2: on the subject. This report this week looks like we've
23:48
Speaker 2: got inflation under control, doesn't it.
23:52
Speaker 8: It does indeed, and both the DPI, the consumer price
23:56
Speaker 8: Index and producer price index both going in the right
23:59
Speaker 8: direct now, And I wish the president would warn this.
24:04
Speaker 8: As long as they've got the Ranian crisis brewing, you
24:07
Speaker 8: could see a spike again in oil and gas prices,
24:10
Speaker 8: but I think we've already seen that. Eventually, that's going
24:13
Speaker 8: to be resolved one way or the other. But we've
24:15
Speaker 8: already seen that when things cool down, the prices come down.
24:20
Speaker 8: And one of the things to keep in mind, and
24:21
Speaker 8: the rest of that index is other than beef. Food
24:24
Speaker 8: prices have stabilized and some have come down. We've seen
24:27
Speaker 8: with eggs, and so it seems to be calming down,
24:31
Speaker 8: and hopefully the President will be able to and the
24:34
Speaker 8: Republicans will learn how to make that a positive issue.
24:37
Speaker 2: In the fall.
24:38
Speaker 8: And Kevin Walsh, in his testimony yesterday and I'm sure
24:42
Speaker 8: he's going to do it again today, has made it
24:44
Speaker 8: clear that the federal reserve certain things they cannot control, like.
24:48
Speaker 2: The war with Iran, but they're not.
24:50
Speaker 8: Going to where they're going to look for a stability
24:53
Speaker 8: of the dollar rather than trying to manipulate the economy.
24:57
Speaker 8: And boy, even though it sounds nerdy and all that
25:00
Speaker 8: kind of stuff, that is the President say huge in
25:03
Speaker 8: the future, you're not going to have an unaccounted body
25:07
Speaker 8: messing around with the economy.
25:09
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, the warn Iran maybe drives the price
25:13
Speaker 2: of oil of five to ten cents, but I don't
25:16
Speaker 2: think most people are aware two three dollars of that
25:18
Speaker 2: price is Democrats, regulations and fees and all that stuff. Well,
25:23
Speaker 2: why can't Republicans make that clear to everybody?
25:27
Speaker 8: Well, what they should do is say the extreme of
25:29
Speaker 8: it is California, where you know, the national average for
25:33
Speaker 8: gas is about what three eighty nine, My neck of
25:36
Speaker 8: the wood is about four ten four. In California, it's
25:40
Speaker 8: five and a half six dollars and just get a
25:43
Speaker 8: little chart showing how much of that is the real
25:46
Speaker 8: price and how much of it is taxes and regulation,
25:49
Speaker 8: and say, these socialists want to make it even worse.
25:53
Speaker 8: And you're absolutely right. Most of the gas so much
25:56
Speaker 8: of the gas price is taxes and regulation. By the way,
26:00
Speaker 8: New Jersey once had the lowest, one of the lowest
26:02
Speaker 8: gas prices in the country, and then several years ago
26:06
Speaker 8: they changed the formula on the on the gasoline tax,
26:09
Speaker 8: so it keeps going up and up and up automatically,
26:12
Speaker 8: so the legislators don't have to do anything, but the
26:15
Speaker 8: price always goes up at the pump.
26:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. So you know democrats, Well, when tariffs came along,
26:21
Speaker 2: Democrats screaming about tariffs. Democrats put tariffs on everything. They
26:26
Speaker 2: call it corporate tax increase. But isn't that the same
26:29
Speaker 2: as a tariff.
26:30
Speaker 8: Yes, the tariff is a tax, and the Democrats love
26:35
Speaker 8: any tax they can get their hands on. And the
26:38
Speaker 8: tax is not just direct taxes, but also regulation. And
26:44
Speaker 8: you look at the New York are the dear governor
26:47
Speaker 8: there has announced that no more artificial no more centers,
26:51
Speaker 8: data centers. And that's the kind of thing New York
26:54
Speaker 8: did years ago, Pennsylvania went all in for fracking. New
26:58
Speaker 8: York have banned it. So pence Sylvania has literally gotten
27:01
Speaker 8: billions and billions, over ten billion, fifteen billion dollars of
27:05
Speaker 8: extra revenue from the fracking, and New York just peaks
27:11
Speaker 8: piling on taxes and any good activity like an AI
27:15
Speaker 8: center out in the middle of nowhere they banned. So
27:19
Speaker 8: it's absolutely perverse. And by the way, we were discussing
27:22
Speaker 8: earlier about the affordability crisis, isn't it a coincidence? Is
27:26
Speaker 8: it a coincidence that the highest costs in the country
27:29
Speaker 8: are in states run by Democrats.
27:32
Speaker 2: Who caused the affordability crisis? New York has been run
27:35
Speaker 2: by Democrats for twenty years.
27:37
Speaker 8: Yes it has. It was New York City. And as
27:40
Speaker 8: we pointed out before, New York and Florida has a
27:43
Speaker 8: bigger population than New York and yet the budget is
27:47
Speaker 8: a fraction of that of New York. How does that happen?
27:50
Speaker 8: As Florida is suddenly a place where people are starving
27:53
Speaker 8: and nobody gets an education and dying, no thriving place
27:58
Speaker 8: with a budget that is a more than half of
28:00
Speaker 8: that of New York.
28:02
Speaker 2: Hey Steve Forbes by the data centers. There is some
28:06
Speaker 2: kind of concern about them using up too much electricity
28:09
Speaker 2: and water in certain areas until they figure that out.
28:12
Speaker 2: Isn't it good to have a little hold on this
28:13
Speaker 2: for a while until we figure that out.
28:16
Speaker 8: Well, you figure it out case by case. Data center
28:19
Speaker 8: may be work in one area not in another area,
28:23
Speaker 8: so you do like automobiles. They can pose problems, but
28:26
Speaker 8: you figure out how to deal with specific problems. And
28:31
Speaker 8: just as you wouldn't put a nuclear power plant in
28:33
Speaker 8: Times Square, you pick and choose where you put these things.
28:40
Speaker 8: Because the whole AI thing is has profound promise. We
28:44
Speaker 8: all know that they're going to be downsides with anything,
28:47
Speaker 8: but one of the areas of great promise is vastly
28:50
Speaker 8: increasing how fast we can get new drugs and new
28:54
Speaker 8: medical devices to market. Instead of waiting ten or twelve years,
28:58
Speaker 8: we can start being getting him in a matter of
29:00
Speaker 8: weeks or months. And my age, I think that's a
29:03
Speaker 8: splendid thing. I don't want to be told, well, we
29:06
Speaker 8: can deal with this in fifteen years.
29:08
Speaker 2: No, we want it now. Hey, there's a homeless camp
29:14
Speaker 2: that goes for about twelve blocks. Now it's on the
29:16
Speaker 2: West Side, right near the Intrepid. It's a shanty town
29:19
Speaker 2: twelve blocks long. It's been in the news for days
29:23
Speaker 2: and days. Yet the mayor, Mom Donnie, does nothing about it.
29:26
Speaker 2: What does that tell us about him?
29:28
Speaker 8: What it tells us he's got the same mindset that
29:31
Speaker 8: works such miracles in Los Angeles. Yeah, we have a
29:34
Speaker 8: huge problem, and we know what you do, you don't
29:38
Speaker 8: let them come into existence. But he's handcuffed the police
29:42
Speaker 8: on it. And I think the nice thing is we're
29:46
Speaker 8: a media area and just say here's what socialism brings
29:50
Speaker 8: you and start shaming him. And another thing we should
29:54
Speaker 8: start doing is he's the biggest slum lord in the country.
29:58
Speaker 8: Start going to some of these glorious communal apartments that
30:01
Speaker 8: he's in charge of, where you have rats running around
30:05
Speaker 8: and water not running and maintenance problems, and say this
30:08
Speaker 8: is what he's in charge of. You want more of that?
30:12
Speaker 8: Vote for those kinds of people.
30:13
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but we did that in LA and put
30:15
Speaker 2: the spotlight on all San Francisco. Yet they still keep
30:18
Speaker 2: electing these crazies.
30:20
Speaker 8: What do you do about the Well, San Francisco actually
30:22
Speaker 8: elected a mayor who's a semi adult and he's already
30:26
Speaker 8: had some positive impact on that benighted area. And in
30:31
Speaker 8: Los Angeles, I don't like to sound like a conspiracy guy,
30:35
Speaker 8: but that mayoral election, suddenly tens of thousands of votes
30:38
Speaker 8: come for this socialist out of nowhere, like voting manna
30:42
Speaker 8: from heaven for a socialist. Where did that come from?
30:45
Speaker 8: And we already know the stories of having these homeless
30:49
Speaker 8: shelters with one hundred and thirty beds and over one
30:52
Speaker 8: thousand registered voters there. Come on, there's massive fraud there,
30:56
Speaker 8: and I'm glad finally they're going to get a serious
30:58
Speaker 8: investigation of that. I think Pratt won second place. He
31:02
Speaker 8: should have been on the November ballot and an honest election.
31:06
Speaker 2: Good point. Yeah, San Francisco, you got voters waking up
31:10
Speaker 2: to what's going on, and we probably did in La
31:13
Speaker 2: We we just got cheated out of it. But these
31:17
Speaker 2: Democratic leaders, the Schumers, the Pelosis, why did they surrender
31:21
Speaker 2: their party to these lunatics. Why didn't they stand up
31:23
Speaker 2: and fight to keep their party. I think they were intimidated.
31:29
Speaker 2: And it's amazing, And this is why we must glorify
31:34
Speaker 2: our independence and constitution, is that we saw what happened
31:41
Speaker 2: in Russia, in nineteen seventeen. A determined group of fanatics
31:45
Speaker 2: can take something over if you don't resist it. And
31:48
Speaker 2: the Democrats didn't resist. When AOC won in twenty eighteen
31:52
Speaker 2: against the long entrench congressman, the party thought, oh my god,
31:57
Speaker 2: the activists are going to come after. They're going to primary.
32:01
Speaker 8: So it's out of fear, not numbers, but out of fear.
32:05
Speaker 8: And so the disease has grown. By the way, in Colorado,
32:09
Speaker 8: where you had an upset of a veteran congressperson from
32:12
Speaker 8: a socialist radical socialist Colorado, the far left there has
32:17
Speaker 8: got no publicity where Republicans were content to go along
32:21
Speaker 8: nominating candidates blah blah blah. They were organizing the state,
32:25
Speaker 8: figure out where the voters were, how to do ballot harvesting.
32:29
Speaker 8: For several years they worked the machinery the politics of
32:32
Speaker 8: that state. In turn of state that was mildly read
32:35
Speaker 8: into a blue stronghold by getting control of the Democrat party.
32:40
Speaker 8: And so that's why I had that flip in Colorado.
32:43
Speaker 8: So we on the other side have to do the
32:45
Speaker 8: same thing, that nitty gritty work of voter by voter,
32:49
Speaker 8: what these fanatics did, they can be turned back they're
32:52
Speaker 8: not the majority Americans don't want this kind of stuff.
32:55
Speaker 2: Most Americans. Good point. Well, Steve Forbes brilliant as always.
32:59
Speaker 2: Everybody get his latest book, Inflation. You'll love the book.
33:02
Speaker 2: You'll learn a lot, and also of course read Forbes

33:37
Speaker 2: ninety six. I guess that's better. But just be careful
33:42
Speaker 2: today out there and all of that. He coming up
33:43
Speaker 2: in the next hour. We'll get to Howard Stern, who's
33:46
Speaker 2: now in his final chapter. We'll get to Egen Carroll,
