• 0:29
  Speaker 3: no sympathy from anybody. But we've got three hours to

• 0:44
  Speaker 3: and Kathy Hochul. We'll get to Meta, Facebook, that big
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: settlement they made. It's pretty interesting. We'll get to crazy
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Jill Biden.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: doing one of those podcasts, you know, when you're a,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: a lying rotten, uh, type of person, you should not
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: do a podcast where you got to talk for an
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: hour and a half. Cause you'll really, you'll really get exposed, uh,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: on something like that. Dolly Parton, the tributes continue from
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: all over the world. Uh, even the Royal family, even
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Buckingham palace, you know, those guys with the big hats
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: that never smile on the red coats and the, uh,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Long trumpets. Well, even they paid tribute to Dolly Parton. Oh,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: we need the next gen. Wait, hang on. Even they
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: paid tribute to Dolly Parton.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: All right, I don't know what kind of tribute that is,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: but they meant well. It sounds like one of those
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: bad marching bands at a college football game, screwing up
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: a popular hit. But everybody thinking about Dolly Parton. Now,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: let me just give you an important Dolly Parton lesson.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of famous people that listen, a
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: lot of famous celebrities, TV people, comedians. You don't want
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to end up like Stephen Colbert, where you alienate half
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: of America and they throw you the hell off the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: air after a while. She stayed away from politics. I mean,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: really away. You know, the Clintons, when Clinton whispered, they
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: wanted her to come, not campaign, just come be at
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: an event. She just wouldn't go near any politicians, any presidents.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: She stayed away from politics. So in an interview... The
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: guy tried to ask her a political question. Now listen
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to how she handled it. This is what you should do.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: We have a president of the United States who said those.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: This is when Trump was president.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: We have a president of the United States who said
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: those things on that bus.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: I'm not addressing that. I do not get into that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Of course I have my opinion about everybody and everything.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: But I learned a long time ago, keep your damn
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: mouth shut if you want to stay in show business.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: I'm not in politics.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I'm an entertainer. And yet you're also a role model.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: That's why I don't... talk about people. So if you
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: are deciding you may want to ask me something more serious, don't,
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: because I'm not going.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: To answer it. Fair warning, you might still ask.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Well, you can ask, but I might still tell you
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: where to put it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, perfect. Doesn't talk about politics. She's not in politics.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Doesn't talk about it. That's why she had such a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: long and glorious career, and that's why there were the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: most incredible tributes to her, and everybody has nothing but
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: wonderful memories of her. She didn't divide America. She just
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: was perfect on that subject uh and the other celebrity
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: death is you know they always claim see they all
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: die in threes look at that they all die in
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: threes there's absolutely no truth to that it's a simple
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: magic trick you just wait till any three people die
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and then you go look at that they die in
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: threes there's i that you got to have a timeline
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on that the third was like a week ago so
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you gotta have the it's got to be if it's
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: three in one day okay that's they die in threes
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Or you could say it's got to be in one week,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: but they just wait till three die and say, that's it,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: they die in three. So the other death was Tim Curry.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I'd like to say a lot about Tim Curry, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I got to be honest, I'm not a big Tim
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Curry fan. He was good in Rocky Horror Show. He
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: was a very good Broadway performer. It was not somebody
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I would go out of my way to see. It
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: was not... I remember a couple of times through the years,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: he was a guest on the show I was doing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And if you had to interview him for 10 minutes,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: it was a painful 10 minutes. I mean, you try
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to do 10 minutes with Tim Curry. But a nice guy. And,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: of course, Rocky Horror Show was such a phenomenon.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I'm just a sweet transvestite. From Transsexual Transylvania.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You can sort of get the idea why I was
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: not a big fan of this music. It was not the....
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I could show you my favorite obsession. I've been making
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: a man.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: All right. Now, I think, is this Natalie? I think
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: she went out in the street and asked people. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: didn't fear death. No, that's Tim Curry talking. This is interesting.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: I didn't fear death. I try to avoid it, as
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: I think we all do. But I suspect that in
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: the end, I will welcome it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: All right. Not the funniest guy in the world, but again,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a nice guy. And we're sorry to see him go.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: But the Rocky Horror Picture Show, that was a big deal,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: staying up all night. You had to be really drugged
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: up to actually love the Rocky Horror Picture Show. uh
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: they are they're just people that i think this is
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: natalie migliore he went out and just asked people for
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: their reaction he was so diverse but i think he
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: was just in such iconic films from our child my childhood.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Grew up in ohio we used to go to the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: midnight shrines rocky or a picture show.
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: Tim curry uh is just like a once in a
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: lifetime performer.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness uh anyway um I got to be honest,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I never once went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: The closest I came, again, was having to interview him
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: a few times when that was hot. And it was
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a struggle to fill 10 minutes with that guy, but
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a nice guy. He was always a very, very nice guy. So, hey,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the lawsuit was a massive lawsuit. Many attorneys general, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: think it was 29 states got in on this because
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: they were suing Facebook. The company's called Meta. They were
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: going after Meta. And why were these, if you're the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: attorney general, why would you join in and get it? Well,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: because Meta's got like a trillion dollars. There's a lot
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: of money there. They smelled blood. More importantly, they smelled money.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: So they're suing Meta like crazy. And then it was
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: announced that all of a sudden, as this trial's going,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: it was announced yesterday that Meta Facebook would settle. They
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: would settle. They offered an $ 18 billion settlement. And you
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: might say, oh my God, $ 18 billion. It sounds like
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a big amount. Mark Zuckerberg could find that much if
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: you look through his sofa cushions. It's nothing. It's nothing
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to them. You know, they make, in revenue, they make
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: $ 165 billion a year. $ 18 billion is pocket change. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: in the settlement, they don't have to pay $ 18 billion.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: They pay 7% now. They pay a little every year,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and of course, it's a write-off. It'll cost them absolutely nothing. Now,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: where does this $ 18 billion go? Well, a lot of
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: lawyers will collect a lot of fees on this. These
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: various attorneys general all are bragging, we've done it, we've
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: brought them to their knees, they're going to do this,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: they're going to do that. The problem is, they kept
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: saying the algorithm was addicting kids. Well, By the way,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: part of the settlement, Facebook doesn't have to change the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: algorithm in any way, which seemed to me was the
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: whole point of the lawsuit. They don't have to change it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: But Facebook came up with a whole list of things
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: they'll do, which don't amount to much. They all sound good.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: We're going to have nighttime blocks on the app. So
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you won't be able to use it after a certain hour.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: We're going to have enhanced age assurance measures.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Pfft.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: To ensure underage... They just came up with all these
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: titles and all these names, and it sounds good. We'll
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: have additional tools to help parents and guardians protect their
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: children as part of what was described as a consent judgment.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: So these guys act like they got a victory from Meta.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: They got $ 18 billion. That's pretty good. Meta did not
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: admit to any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the settlement's pending court approval. And by the way, these
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: product changes don't apply to WhatsApp. Meta owns all this stuff.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: These changes don't apply to WhatsApp, Messenger, or the AI chatbots. Now,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and this is only a 10-year truce. They've only got
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to do this stuff for 10 years. This is the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: biggest settlement ever from a tech company. The biggest one
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: before was also Meta, $ 5 billion to the FTC in 2019.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: The Meta stock is up. because everybody thinks The company
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: will create an enhanced mechanism for teens to report potentially
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: harmful content and has agreed to respond to 90% of
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: those reports within a year. Six hours.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: There's already a mechanism to report something you don't like.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: This is a major breakthrough, a milestone moment, a watershed moment,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: because when it comes to protecting our children's mental health,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: there is no time to lose. Instead of getting tied
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: up in years of trials and appeals, we have secured
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the changes we were after.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: There you go. Nobody knows what these changes are.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: One of the important pieces of this settlement agreement, assuming
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: the court adopts it, is that there is that ongoing
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: monitoring and audit feature that we have as states to
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: make sure that we're holding them accountable and they're doing
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: exactly what they're supposed to do.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: There you go. There's an ongoing monitoring. Again, you'll see
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: nothing change if you're using meta.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: The priorities are to make sure that we are remedying
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: past harm and ensuring that in the future, similar harms
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: don't take effect. So they will go to programs and
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: things of that nature.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: There you go. They got it done, you see? They've
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: put in, what the hell do they call it? Enhanced monitoring.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And again, a bunch of titles. It sounds like the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: big thing for them is they got $ 18 billion out
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of META.
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: What META is going to do here is... immediately, subject
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: to the court's approval, of course, of this settlement. But
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: what they're able to do immediately to start to remedy
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: these harms is completely groundbreaking.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Okay. These harms. Now, I'm on Facebook. I'm on Instagram.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Meta owns that. I don't think it's harming me. You
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: do get addicted. It is a little silly that you
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: start looking. As soon as you wake up, you're looking
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: at Instagram, scrolling through everything it is kind of silly
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: but but you know you gotta remember uh when all
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: this stuff is invented all this new tech and everybody
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: says it's changing everything it's uh changing people and their
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: life it really isn't human behavior has been the same
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: for thousands and thousands and thousands of years it just
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: moves to a different platform whatever crazy things you're doing
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: online you were doing them before you're just doing them
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: online now You know, when the Instagrams, people put up
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: pictures of their lunch. This is not false. This is
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: absolutely true. Archaeologists, they're studying hieroglyphics in caves. There were
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: times where people would put up what they had for lunch.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is, again, human behavior, always the same.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: It just went digital. That's all. When you wake up, oh,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: you're wasting all your time. The kids wasting their time on... Instagram,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: TikTok when they wake up, looking at that. You know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: a million years ago, kids, when they woke up, wasted
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: their time watching Captain Kangaroo or Bozo the Clown or
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: cartoons or The Three Stooges. They're better off on Instagram
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: than looking at Mo hit somebody in the face with
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a hammer. I mean, it's much better nowadays. There's actually
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: more going on on Instagram. You actually learn a lot
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: of things. You learn about here's a new restaurant, here's
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: a new this, here's a new that. It's a lot
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: better than Moe with his two fingers poking the guy
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: in the eyes. Anyway, we've got a lot to get to.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman had a great press conference yesterday. So Kathy Hochul,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: her and the legislature passed this crazy, stupid law that
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: local places, towns, counties are not allowed to cooperate with ICE.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: So if you've got a gang member, a murderer, a rapist,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: a robber, The illegal alien running around your town and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: ICE wants to get him. You can't help. You have
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: to stay on the sidelines. Blakeman, this is going to
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: be a big campaign issue. Now, Hochul, why is she
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: being such a left-wing kook? Because she's trying to get reelected.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: She's trying to keep the Mamdani crowd happy because you
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: can't get elected governor unless you win at least 35%
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: in New York City. So she needs his backing. That's
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: why she's doing this. But Blakeman yesterday went after her.
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: This is one of the saddest days of my life
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: as county executive. That because of this terrible and bad
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: law that we have to adhere to, I know it's
• 14:42
  Speaker 10: going to make it more dangerous here in Nassau County.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, Blakeman usually does the right thing, stands his ground,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: but apparently consulted with all the lawyers and everything. They said,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: you've got to follow the law. You can't break the
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: law here. So even though he's the best with his
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: county at cooperating with ICE, you know, if you cooperate
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: and you give them local police and locally blend them
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: jail cells, whatever, it makes it a much cleaner, safer
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: operation for everybody. If you can't get the local police
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: to help you go arrest somebody. You got to send,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you know, five times as many people and it gets messier.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: So but Blakeman had no choice, had to cooperate. This
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: is Hochul's law that she's bragging about and pushing.
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: This law is written in the blood of the victims past,
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: present and future.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be a big problem for Hochul.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: She's got a debate with him coming up. The campaign
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: didn't even really start. It starts after Labor Day. She's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: going to have to defend this stuff.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I want local police using local taxpayer dollars to focus
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: on catching local criminals.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: That's what this does. When ICE goes after a gang
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: member or a robber or a rapist or a criminal,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: illegal alien, they're local. They're going into a community and
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: getting your criminals off the street. I mean, If they
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: don't do it, the police have to do it. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: she should talk about, well, when I'm going after local criminals,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: what's the point? Thanks to Cuomo and his no bail,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: no jail and these crazy New York DAs, you could
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: arrest the person. They'll be back on the street in
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: a half hour. Nobody gets put in jail. Cuomo's no bail,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: no jail. Everybody's released immediately. That's why Cuomo created this
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: crime wave. And if you talk to the NYPD off
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: the record, they'll tell you it's the same 2,500 criminals
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: over and over and over again. They know who they are.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: If they could lock them up, they could go get
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: them all in the next week and have them all
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: off the street. Anyway, we've got a lot more to
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: get to. You're going to hear, oh, my God, you're
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: going to love this story from the Hamptons. We'll get
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: to Tiger Woods. People are a little concerned about him.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the Strait of Hormuz. We'll get to Iran, Canada,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: and more. Coming up, it's Mark Simone, 9 to noon
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: every day on 710WOR. Mark Simone. Mr. New York.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: Now three hours every weekday from 9 to noon on 710WOR.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of rain today. Remember the last time
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: we had a rain like this, you had flooding and
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: roads and subways and, you know, a lot of those
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: places where you can get real flooded with very heavy rain,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: you know, like the Cross Island, the Clearview, the Jersey's
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: got a lot of these places and a lot of
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the parkways. So just keep an eye on that today.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Hopefully the forecast eases up a little before this is
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: all supposed to happen. One, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, hopefully.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: things ease up before that. We'll see. But just keep
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: an eye on it, especially if you're going anywhere. This
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: is a tragic story. I don't mean to upset anybody,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: but this is Hampton's tragedy. Now, you know, if you
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: go out to the Hamptons, you got West Hampton, you
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: got Quag, you got South Hampton, and it's packed with people.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: And these are the people that'll say to you, how
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: are you? And then if you say, great, how are you? So,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: But if you go a little further out to East Hampton,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: there still remains pockets of the old Hamptons. The old,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: very quiet. You know, when you used to think of
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the Hamptons, you'd think of Jackie Onassis' family. You'd think
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: of CZ Guest and the Phipps. Well, they lost the Hamptons.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: It's all been taken over. But they still have a
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: little pocket out there in East Hampton. You know, this old, waspy, old,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the 12th generation Hamptons. So they love the Devon Yacht Club.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: It's a very important place to them. The Devon Yacht
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Club is very, very, very exclusive. Very few members. And again,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I don't want to upset people. This is a very
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: tragic story. Because of this HB2, whatever, this visa crackdown,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: if you don't have a legitimate visa to be in
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: the country, the federal government, that Trump, they're now cracking
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: down and rounding up people. Well, they rounded up the
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: cooks from the Devon Yacht Club kitchen yesterday. They were all,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: their visas were revoked and they all have to leave
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the country. And again, it's very tragic. I have the
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: letter right here. It goes out, went out to all
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the members. Dear Devon members, we are sorry to inform
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: you of the immediate cancellation of dinner service tonight and
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: lunch on Friday. Now, This is a big tragedy out there. Now,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you might say, well, why don't they just go to
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: a restaurant? Because these are very quiet, old, old hands.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: And if they go to a restaurant, you know, and hear,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: how are you? And everybody doesn't like the table. We
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: want to sit over there. We can't sit here. This
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: table's too small. This table's too close to the kitchen.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: All the arguing. They can't deal with that. They can't.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: So they may have to actually eat at home. No
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: word on yet on when they'll reopen the dining room
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: at the Devon Yacht Club. Oh, there'll be a limited
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: selection of bar bites Thursday from 5 to 8. Okay, well,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: they'll have to make do with a few pigs in
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: a blanket that were probably bought at the supermarket and microwaved.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: But they'll get through it. They'll get through it. Don't worry.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Strait of Hormuz. You know, it's been open. It never closed.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: It normally does 20 million barrels of oil a day.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: And for all the time it was closed, we were
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: escorting ships through the southern corridor. That's along the Oman coast.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: So they were getting 9 to 10 million barrels a
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: day through there. So about half the usual amount. And
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: then they announced two days ago that they've cleared every
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: last landmine. Not landmine, but mines under the water. So
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: now it looks like Oman, who is our ally... Sometimes.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Depends what day it is. Sometimes they're our enemy. Sometimes
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: they're our ally. It's like a weather vane. But Iran
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: and Oman made some kind of deal yesterday to open
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz. They'll share revenue. You'll pay a
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: fee to go, okay, well, none of this is ever
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: going to happen. Right now, the United States has total
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: control of the Strait of Hormuz. Our Navy controls it completely.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And the administration has said they will not allow any fees.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Nobody's getting through anything if they're paying fees. The Strait
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: of Hormuz will always be free. First of all, it's
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: a body of water. It's not owned by anybody. You
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: can't charge a fee for it. Oman, who knows what
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: they're up to. Oman also saying that they will now
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: remove the underwater mines, which is easy for them to
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: do since we already announced they were already removed. Whatever
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: they're doing is just to annoy President Trump, which is
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: never a good idea, by the way, if you're a
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: world leader. And I guess whoever's running Oman would count
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: as that. Don't annoy him. This guy loves to fight.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: He's a big fighter. He's a bully. I mean, he
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: is a bully. Listen to the guy from Canada, the premier.
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: I usually don't use those words, but when your country's
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: under attack and your province is under attack and this
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: guy's just nothing but a bully, it resonated around the world.
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But you got to bear that in mind. You know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: if you want to yell at somebody or get right
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: in their face, that's fine. But, you know, I wouldn't
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: go up to Mike Tyson and start shoving him. Don't
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: do that. It's the same thing with Trump. Don't challenge
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: him to a fight. This guy comes to life. He
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: loves to fight.
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: Everyone is united. And if there's two great things that
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: President Trump did for our country, he woke us up,
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: woke us up real quick. And he's united the country
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: that I've never seen before.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. All right. I got a lot of friends in Canada.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I call them all day. I say, what do you think?
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: They don't even know this is going on. I mean,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: there are people. It's the same thing with the war
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: in Iran. You know, there are people, especially in Manhattan,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: that sit there and watch MSNBC all day and get
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: themselves all riled up or CNN. And then they go
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: out to dinner. Why did the war in Iran? The
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: war in Iran. And then they don't realize in every
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: focus group polling service. 97% of America is paying no
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: attention to this. They don't even think about it. It
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything to them. Even if you do in
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: primary states where they do the focus group on issues
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: in the election, Iran comes in like 15th place. Even
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: last night, it was a war in Iran. What war
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: in Iran? There hasn't been a shot fired in two months.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Nobody's fighting. I mean, it's a crazy stalemate of a situation,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: but there's no war going on. Nobody's shooting at anybody.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Nothing's happened. Anyway, we've got a lot to get to,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: and we'll also take some calls a little later on, 800-321-0710. Hey,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: there's some crazy Democrats rising up to take on Trump.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: We'll get to that and more just ahead. It's Mark
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Simone here, 9 to noon, three hours every day, 9
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: to noon on 710WOR. Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, the president flies
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: to Texas today. He'll spend two days in Houston, Texas.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: There's some sort of big RNC something tonight. It's for
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: the midterm elections. They're calling it the RNC engagement. It's
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: like a little mini convention where they'll all get together
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and discuss midterm strategy or maybe think about actually getting
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: some midterm strategy for once. The They do have a
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: problem with messaging and all that. So hopefully figure that
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: out today. Remember, it's early. It's still August. It's really
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: after Labor Day. People start focusing on campaigns and on elections.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: So the president will spend the night in Texas, this
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: RNC stuff today, tonight, and then tomorrow he goes to
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: NASA to honor the astronauts. In fact, he'll be awarding
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: some medals of freedom and that sort of stuff there. Hey,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: we'll take some calls. 800- 3-2-1-0-7-10 is the number. We've
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: got listeners all over the country, and let's say hello
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: to a few. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: how are you doing?
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark.
• 25:31
  Speaker 13: I'm doing very well, thank you. Mark, I'm not sure
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: if this is known or not, but Dolly Parton's last
• 25:37
  Speaker 13: song called My Place in History will not be released
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: until what would have been her 100th birthday. Now, to
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: add context to this, The remaining Beatles released Free as
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: a Bird back in 1995, which was a John Lennon
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: recording demo that he did back in 1977.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's interesting. We have actually Dolly Parton talking
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: about the song, Dave. It's a good point. You know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of times, many years later, they release the
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: unreleased song or the missing song from the album or
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: the never-heard-before unreleased... The reason it's unreleased and the reason
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: it was missing from the album, it wasn't that good.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they were making something, making an album,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: one thing sounded great, that'd be the first thing on
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the album. When there's something that was not on the album,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: it's because it wasn't that great. But there is a
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: secret Dolly Parton song. Well, here she is. I'll let
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: her explain it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: You have a secret song locked away in Dollywood that
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: will be released in 2045.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: That's the truth.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Uh, no, seriously, when we, uh, we do a lot
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: of things at Dollywood, and one year we thought about that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: They asked me if I would write a song.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: That nobody would ever hear.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: I'll be dead, gone.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I might not be, because I'll be 99. You
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: know me. Yeah, you can do that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: I might still be hopping.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll be that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah. But, uh, she was a very smart woman.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: We'll get back to, uh. To Dolly Parton. Let's go
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: to Jack in Connecticut. Jack, how you doing?
• 27:17
  Speaker 12: Mark, hey. Long-time listener, first-time caller. I'm a big fan.
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: I don't know if you might have mentioned this. I
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: don't get to listen to every minute of your show.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: What the hell are you doing? You mean you have
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: other things to do?
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: I do try to catch up on the iHeart podcast.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Don't worry. I don't listen to every minute of the
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: show either. But go ahead.
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: My father, God rest his soul, was a longtime listener.
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: He got me into you. I'll be quick.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to make a quick point. So I
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: don't know if you might have mentioned this, but we
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: all love Dolly, obviously. But coincidentally, Tim Curry also passed
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: away on the same day.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: You don't know how upset I am. I'm such an
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: admirer of his.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 28:05
  Speaker 12: He's not Dolly, but.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I'm kidding, I'm kidding. We did talk about.
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: Great role.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: First 10 minutes, I think we talked about Tim Curry.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Ah, okay.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fan. He was a nice guy. I mean,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I met him a few times, but would you explain
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: the magic of Tim Curry, what it was?
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: Compared to Dolly, there's no comparison, but, you know, Rocky.
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: Horror, it had a lot of fans. I... I thought
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: it was interesting.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: To go see Rocky Horror at 3 in the morning,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: you had to really be drugged up. Yeah, I think
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Thanks, Mark. Okay, thanks for
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: calling in. Listen, it was a cult, that Rocky Horror stuff.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, there were people that, remember they would see
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: it over and over? They would see it like 50 times?
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: But again, they were all drugged up. They weren't even
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: seeing it when they were there. Let's go to Joseph
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: in Manhattan. Joseph, how are you doing?
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, Mark.
• 29:06
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: Dolly Parton.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: Dolly Parton, the real inflation. Even Vincent from Brooklyn wanted
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: to hit on them. And Johnny Carson on his Tonight Show.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I remember we played it yesterday on the show.
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: And Johnny Carson.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: All right. I want you to do me a favor.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I want you to go take a cold shower right
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: now and calm yourself down. You're a little too excited here.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Cowabunga.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: Great show as always, Mark.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: This guy definitely owns a raincoat, I can tell. Let's
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: go to Max in Manhattan. Max, how are you doing?
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Mark, thank you for taking my call. In August 6th
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: of this year, Hochul signed into effect that if you're
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: in a hospital and for whatever reason the doctors decide
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: that they want to off you and get rid of you,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I'll send a nurse in there in the middle of
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: the night and give you an injection without your family's
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: approval or your approval. And it's called MAID, M-A-I-D.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know. He's not kidding. There is such
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: a thing. This is the crazy legislature we have now
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: and crazy Kathy Hochul. And they're like, it's a Dr.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Kevorkian type medicine.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Kevorkian times 20.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually much worse. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: people went to Kevorkian voluntarily. And, uh, boy, uh, I
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: don't know what she's up to or the legislature's up to,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: but a lot of times, uh, you know, remember that Dr. Kevorkian,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: if you were really sick, if you were in so
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: much pain, if there was no hope, you could go
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: to him and it was assisted suicide. And remember the
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: rebellion against him? Remember 60 minutes had him on the
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: air and they tore him apart. And they, there was
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: such rebellion against how this was the most evil man
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: on earth. And this is a, But through the years,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: things have changed a little, especially now that there's these
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: big hospital systems. You know, it's like five hospital systems
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: can control everything. And they're run by bean counters. And,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: you know, they're starting to realize, you know, if they
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: do get rid of some of these patients, they would
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: save ourselves a fortune, a lot of money. So it's coming.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Whatever Democrats thought 30 years ago, they never think that now.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Like Bill Clinton, if he tried to run now. Would
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: have to run as a Republican. John F. Kennedy, we
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: talked about this yesterday. You know, they want Trump's name
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: off the Kennedy Center. But the Democrats today, if they
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: knew what Kennedy stood for, they'd want his name off
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the building. Kennedy was anti-abortion. Very, very, very hawkish. Military
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: escalation in Vietnam. He was a tax cutter. Oh, if
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: they knew about the real Kennedy, not to mention all
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: the womanizing. But anyway, so let's go to Martin in Miami. Martin,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: how you doing?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: How are you doing?
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: Listen, two things. I was wondering, this pied-a-terre tax, is
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: this just a way for the government to tax these guys,
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: these people, these billionaires that live in New York City
• 32:10
  Speaker 14: for less than 182 days?
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Was that ever?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Well, it just sounds good. Go after the rich, annoy
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: the rich. You live in Miami? You don't have a
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: place back here.
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: Do you?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, I don't. So you're saying.
• 32:22
  Speaker 14: No, but I was just thinking that, you know, I've
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: heard all these stories about how they've got people tracking
• 32:27
  Speaker 14: these billionaires so that they can.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a different... Yeah, that's a different thing. That's
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: the tax department, state tax department. They do carefully track everybody.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: You know, if you move to Miami, you move to
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Florida or wherever you move, and you say, that's it,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I'm no longer a resident of New York. You're only
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: allowed back here like 180 days or something. But they
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: track you like crazy. And everybody thinks that they can
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: fool these tax people that are looking to get your money.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: You can't. They're checking your cell phone GPS to see
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: exactly where you were. And there's a whole list of
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: like 200 things you have to do to claim you're
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: a Florida resident. You've got to have all your primary
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: doctors there. If you come to New York, you can
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: only see a specialist. You have to have all sorts
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: of things moved down there. Now, the pied-à-terre tax, that's
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: just to go after the rich. It sounds good. Look
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: how we're. You remember they did this about 15 years ago.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: They did the same thing with the private jet tax.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: We're going to tax every private jet owner. It sounded great.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Until they figured out there's only about 75 people that
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: have a private jet. It didn't raise any money. It
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: doesn't do anything. Same thing with the pied-à-terre tax, which
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: you'll never see it. It'll never happen. Because they started
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: out with $ 100, 000 and then it was $ 17, 000. Now it
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: looks like it's $ 2, 000. It's not going to be enough
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: to mean anything. Hey, I'm here 9 to noon every day.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: That's our new time, 9 to noon. And then at noon,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: you got Buck and Clay with a great show. Then
• 33:51
