Hour 3: Rape incidents at colleges. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Well, hey, a lot to get to this hour. Hey, congratulations,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Kash Patel. You remember he had this girlfriend for the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: last three or four years, this country music star. And
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they were always trying to make it look like some
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: sort of seedy, slimy something going on. What's he doing
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with her? And what was he carrying on with? Well,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: they just announced they're getting married. Yeah, while they're engaged,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Alexis Wilkins and Kash Patel, he's about almost 20 years older,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but they've been together three or four years, and then congratulations,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they're getting engaged. The left will now find some way
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to trash her and him even more, and now that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: they're getting engaged. Hey, this fly Dubai hijacking, this terrorist
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: gets a job as a co-pilot on this airline, Fly Dubai.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: How he got this job, nobody will ever figure out.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We now know his name is Hamam Al-Hamami. Hamam Al-Hamami.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: He's only 29. And he gets a job as a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: co-pilot on the airline. He apparently has a history of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the most extreme posts online. And you just take a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: look at his social media online. It's the most disgusting,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: extreme stuff talking about beating women. Women are cheap meat
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: devoured by anyone and everyone. Other posts call for severe
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Islamic punishment against Jews and homosexuals. His social media accounts,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, make it clear that he's a radicalized jihadist nut.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He talks about killing Jews. The Times of Israel has
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: gone through all this social media, found a lot of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: this stuff, published it. But I would think because any
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: normal business, before they hire somebody, they check their social
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: media just to make sure. So how this airline could
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: not check this. He had a previous job at Oman's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: National Airline last year, but they removed him because of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: his extremist Islamist views and apparently just spew them all
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: over the place. Employees got nervous around the guy. So
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: they got rid of him. And he has a couple
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of posts on his social media showing Israeli airline jets
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: followed by a photo montage of a suicide bomber and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Al Qaeda. That's on his LinkedIn profile. How could any
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: company not check this stuff out? And how could they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: end up hiring this guy? They just didn't check his
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: social media. It's absolutely ridiculous. You know, the guy that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: tackled him was a plumber He's a good-looking guy, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: he's Israeli. So apparently in Israel, this guy is like
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the hottest sex symbol in Israel. Women are going crazy
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about this guy, formerly just an everyday plumber, now a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: big sex symbol in Israel. Even President Trump gushing over
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: him on TikTok. It turns out the guy, this Israeli hero,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: is also a big Trump fan. I would imagine everybody
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in Israel is. Because it was Trump that saved Israel
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: after October 7th. Imagine if Biden had been in power.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But it's Trump who's done more for Israel than any
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: president ever. And a lot of Israelis, and it's a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: great thing, have military service. It's just pretty much standard
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: there in Israel that you join the military for a time.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's great training for life. It's great training for a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: lot of things. It's one of the things we'll miss
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in this country. If everybody had to have some military
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: service for a couple of years, they'd be much better, sharper,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: more disciplined, better workers, all of that stuff. Hey, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Cornell case, I don't know, this is going to be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: quite a mess. Kathy Hochul, just for political purposes, just
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: for political purposes, is pretending to be outraged.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: No institution gets to protect its reputation. at the expense
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of a young person seeking justice.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Well, this happened two years ago. Kathy Hochul's district attorney
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: let the guys go and didn't do anything about it,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and she never said a word about it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: She spoke to the police. She sat for hours and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: told them exactly what happened to her. And according to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: new reports... And she.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Did nothing, Kathy Hochul, nothing, absolutely nothing, paid no attention
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to this. Now it's three weeks, four weeks, four weeks
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: before the election, and she's using it as an election issue.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So she's going to yell and scream about this and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: pretend that she is on top of it. Pretend that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: she is taking action when actually nothing will get done.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: She makes the worst possible choice for a special prosecutor.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Letitia James, besides being way too political for a case
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like this, and she shot her mouth off with her
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: posting on Twitter, prejudging the case. Defense attorneys will be
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: able to use that against her, the fact that she
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: prejudged the case. And also, Why would you pick Letitia James?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: She has no experience at all as a prosecutor. She's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: never prosecuted a criminal case in her life. Before being
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Attorney General, she was the public advocate, which is basically
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a no-show job in New York City. You don't do anything.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You basically make speeches. The public advocate does absolutely nothing.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Before that, she sat on the city council for many years.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: That's her background. She knows nothing about prosecuting. criminal. She's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: never done it in her life. And it happens. You can,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you could just be a political figure and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: with no experience, get yourself elected attorney general. You know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Chris Christie was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: if you watch him on those Sunday shows, very often
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he'll say, you know, as a prosecutor, I was a prosecutor.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: He was never a prosecutor, never prosecuted anything. He was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a big donor to to the Bush campaign. He raised
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a ton of money for the Bush campaign. So they
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: owed him something. So they made him US attorney in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, even though he'd never been in a courtroom
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: in his life. It can happen. It can happen where
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you get appointed prosecutor, even though you don't know how
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to prosecute. So that's the case with Letitia James. You know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and the Cornell situation sounds so horrifying. But do you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: know that in US colleges, In one year, there have
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: been over 8,000 rape cases reported. 8,000 rape cases reported
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: every year in colleges. The school with the most reported incidents,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: University of Utah, had the most reported rapes, nearly double
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the number of the number two. 146 rape accusations in
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one year. That's like 10 a month. That's like 11
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: or 12 a month. That's like two a week. That's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the University of Utah. Number two, University of Colorado Boulder,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: second highest count with 96 rapes. Ohio State is third
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: with 67 rapes reported every year. That's a staggering amount.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That's like six a month. That's unbelievable. Other schools that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: made the top 10, Penn State, UCLA. University of California,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Santa Cruz, University of California, Santa Barbara, Indiana University, University
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of Kansas, and New York Columbia University stood out with
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a lot. Columbia, number one in New York. It's just horrifying.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: This goes on. I don't know what it is. It's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: just drugs and drinking and standards are so low now.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: It's just absolutely crazy. Now, you know, the billionaire, Ken Griffin,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this is the guy that Mondami targeted, big hedge fund billionaire,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Ken Griffin. He's the guy. I guess Mondami first picked
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: him because Ken Griffin bought that apartment over there on
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Central Park South for $ 250 million. This is for an apartment.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: $ 250 million for an apartment. And he's already got the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: nicest apartment in New York over on Park Avenue. In
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the finest building on Park Avenue, he has the most
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: magnificent apartments, like two floors of the building. It's considered
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the finest building in New York, that Park Avenue. So
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the Central Park South was for.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It could be just an investment. So he's got these
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: two unbelievable apartments in New York for a total of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like $ 350 million. And he doesn't even live here. He
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: lives in Florida most of the time. But Mamdani went
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: after him and really targeted him. Now, Mamdani, remember he
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: did that video standing outside of Ken Griffin's building, basically
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: showing you where he lives and denouncing him. We've never
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: seen anything like that before, where a mayor targets a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: private citizen just because he bought an apartment and makes
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: videos taunting the guy and trying to terrify the guy
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and trying to give out his address. It's crazy. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And a guy like Ken Griffin, you might say, well,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he's a billionaire. They really do a lot. They're the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: guys that make all the donations to the hospitals and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the museums and keep them afloat. And he's building a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: building here in New York over at Park Avenue and 52nd.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: They tore down three or four buildings at Park Avenue
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and 52nd, and they're going to put up like a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: 90-story skyscraper. So, yeah, I know you might say, well,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: we don't need another 90-story skyscraper. Well, it's going to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: create 6,000 jobs. It's great for New York. He almost, almost,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: killed the project because of mom donnie but apparently it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: still going on but as much as you want to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: hate these billionaires boy do they donate a lot of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: money they support all the charities the hospitals the museums
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that keep it all going so uh ken griffin just
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: announced he's given three billion dollars to carnegie mellon university
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: for a new campus in miami Now, they have a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: New York City campus, but he's giving $ 3 billion to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Carnegie Mellon University for their Miami campus. And he just
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: pledged another billion dollars for their main campus in Pittsburgh.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So that's donations that could have gone here in New
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: York for their campus, not giving it to them. Now,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: these billionaires, again, nobody's more charitable than these guys here.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: with all the hospitals, everything, even silly things like the opera,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the ballet. They wouldn't be there for these billionaires donating.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But then you get the Bernie Sanders socialists targeting these guys.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Get off of your yachts and your rocket ships. Take
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a break from your cocktail parties and take a look
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: around you.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Now, first of all, rocket ships. He's talking about Elon Musk.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And that's another thing. Musk created Tesla. Created 100,000 jobs there.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Changed the world of electric cars with that thing. He's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: got a space company creating rockets. He's got that Starlink,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: those satellite communications that everybody can have in their house
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that's being used all over the world. I mean, he's really,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: really helping millions of people. And what did Bernie Sanders create? Exactly. Nothing.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Not a damn thing. He just talks.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Get off of your yachts and your rocket ships.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Remember, it's Bernie Sanders, typical socialist who we've seen flying
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: around on private jets, staying in the most luxurious hotels
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: all over the world with your money, with our money.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: One thing about guys like Ken Griffin, they pay for themselves. So,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you know, if you have luggage, of course, you got
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to carry on on the plane. And then the big
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: bag that you got to check. People always say, airline
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: people always say, don't get fancy luggage. Don't get any
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: expensive looking luggage. Make sure you got the crummiest, cheapest
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: luggage to check. I know it doesn't sound right, but apparently,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you're not allowed to lock your suitcase anymore.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So when it's back there with the baggage handling, they
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: do go through some suitcases and they do steal stuff.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And they always pick the most expensive looking luggage. They
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: figure that's where the expensive stuff will be. If you've
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: got a crummy 25-year-old broken-down suitcase, they're not looking in there.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But if you've got some Louis Vuitton luggage or Gucci,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they're going to look through that. Well, look at this guy.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He had a watch stolen out of his suitcase. An
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: $ 80, 000 Patek Philippe. Now, if you've got an $ 80, 000 Patek Philippe,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that should probably go in your carry-on. You probably don't
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: want to check that. But he did check it. And
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it was stolen. And he discovered it was stolen. He
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: was flying from Los Angeles to the Louis Armstrong New
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Orleans airport. But good for the airline. Apparently, they got
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of surveillance cameras. And they looked. They found
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the two guys that stole it. One's 42 and one's 18.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: They were both busted. They've been arrested. It's a serious
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: felony because it's an $ 80, 000 theft. They both will be prosecuted.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But again... Get yourself some nice crummy luggage. They'll never
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: open it. They'll never, never check it. Very important. Hey,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710. Always good to hear
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: from new callers. If you're a new caller, call us.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: noon on 710WORX. Well, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the number. Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Hello, Mark. Good morning.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I know I have a cold, so I have a
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: really nice voice.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: You always have a nice voice. Weren't you a radio
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: star at one point?
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: I was, but I've always sound so much better when
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I have a little huskiness in there, like Kathleen Turner.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: But anyway.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Wow, thanks for those statistics on the school rapes. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: know this opinion won't matter much to a bachelor with
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: no kids, but us moms out there are just done
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: with this. Like, what is the point of sending our
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: kids off to college and spending $ 60, 000, $ 70, 000 a year?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, is it too much to ask for them
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: to keep them safe? I really question this. I sent
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: both mine off. They both got high degrees, doctorates, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I just, I don't even know why, because they allow
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: them to have sex. They allow them to drink. They
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: allow them to do drugs. The fraternities need to go away.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: They just need to go away. The old days of,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: you know, the letter sweater, the fraternities that were just
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: all a bunch of fun guys are just gone. They're
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: just gangs. And I just think that would be that
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: one of the first things that they should do. It's
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: just like organized crime on campuses. And I just think
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: we have to have a whole new reshuffle. Not to mention.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Listen, you're absolutely right. That's the problem with these colleges.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: They've only got these indoctrinating professors teaching everybody to come.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Out of socialist colleges. Yes, that's another problem.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Cut back on the professors and start hiring security. Start hiring...
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Didn't they have people.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no co-ed. No co-ed. They always have sober houses.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: They're never sober. The RAs are just useless. And I just,
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I feel so bad for us that we've wasted all,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, I guess we don't waste some of it,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: but it's just that we endanger our children. I really
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: believe that, especially ones that have never been away.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You're right. That's a good point. Those universities are getting
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: away with murder. Somebody needs to step in and fix
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: all of them. All right. Good call, Kathy. Thanks for calling.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Suzanne in New Canaan, Connecticut. Suzanne, how
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: I have just a quick one about, I wonder if
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: this whole college rape culture stat is due to the
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: students being a fallout of the COVID lockdowns. They're socially inept.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: But also the cultural influence of, you know, Cardi B
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: glorifying trains and Alex Earle's podcast on threesomes and foursomes
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: and all this stuff like nobody, you know, need to
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: know about.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was going on long before the pandemic.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It's just a Generation after generation getting weirder, crazier, standards slip, discipline,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: everything goes away.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: I have a little irony for you. I'm a Cornellian.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: I just got an email from the Cornell Fund has
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: an article about Cornell offering a degree to incarcerated students.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: What did you call yourself? You're a Cornellian? Is that
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: what you people call yourself?
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: I'm a Cornellian.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: I went to Cornell.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: A Cornellian. Well, it's... It's one strange school. Who went
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to Cornell? Bill Marr went there.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: Ann Coulter.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Ann Coulter from New Canaan went there. Crazy Keith Oberman
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: went there, although he went to the agricultural school, not
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the real Cornell.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Janet Reno.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Let's see, who else?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Very impressive.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Nabokov.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Wow. E.B.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: White.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Very good.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: We could go on and on.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: All right. Impressive, impressive. Thanks for calling. Let's go to...
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Phil in Northport.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Hello, Mark.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Very little mention was made of a recent passing of
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Denny Hastert, who was.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I just saw that about 9.30. It broke
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that he has died, the former Speaker of the House.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: And I forgot to mention it. That's... He was a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: nice guy, but you know what? It's not that important.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Did we lose him? Phil, you there?
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Phil?
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Phil?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Nope, I think we lost him. Phil? Nope, he's gone. Yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: it's a, in fact, if we walk out in the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: hall here, if you go out in the street there
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: and stop a thousand people with a picture of Denny Astor,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: it's a, can you tell me who this is? No,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: but it's a nice guy, but too far in the past.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. My girlfriend graduated from
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Cornell 40 years ago, and as far as all this
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: wilding going on in the frat houses 50 years ago,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: when it started in the late 60s and 70s, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: beg to differ with Kathy from North Carolina. There have
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: been always a lot of sluts. Let's just put it
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: that way, and I won't go into particulars because I
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: knew women back then....
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: But wait a minute, you're talking about way back. You're
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: talking about your cocktail waitress coping. floozies. You're talking about
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: modern times.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Well, modern times, where are these young men and women
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: getting their ethics and their morality from? Maybe their parents
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: are corrupt. Maybe their parents were part of that 60s, 70s,
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: or grandparents, 70s generation. Mark, speaking about people going through
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: your luggage in the airport. I can't tell you. Every
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: time I go to Italy, the police are always looking
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: through my luggage for stuff. And the only reason why
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I know is because I use certain knots to tie
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: my luggage that unless you're a fisherman like Rich would
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: know from South Carolina, you're not going to know how
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: to retire. Now, you talked about today the city council
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: is having all the big AI people, they're going to
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: have this meeting. But yet I heard Daria Auburn say
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: the city council already has a bunch of proposed legislation,
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: proposed bills on the desk of Julie Manning saying, number one,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: as I said last week, you have to use city-approved
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: AI software to sweeten the deal for the rats. Any
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: company who's not using this city-approved software will be fined,
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: and the city's going to share the money with the rats.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Once again, you put your finger right on it. This
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: is what the AI hearings are about in the city council.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: You know what happens to rats, don't you, Mark?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They're going to make the AI companies pay all
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the politicians.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know what happens to rats?
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: What?
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: As Curtis says, snitches get.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk to the greatest gossip
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: columnist of all, Rob Shooter, with us next on 710WOR.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR Life Fact Studios, The Mark Simone Show. Well,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: with us right now, the country's top gossip columnist, the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: great journalist, Rob Shooter. Make sure you follow his Substack. Actually,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: sign up for his Substack. It's Naughty But Nice on Substack.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He's got a great YouTube channel. Just type Rob Shooter
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: into YouTube. He's got a novel out called It Started
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: With a Whisper. A lot of stuff going on. And
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: he's with us now. Rob Shooter, how are you doing?
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Hey, my friend. It's good to be here. I'm a
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: busy guy. Busy, busy, busy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, you are. Hey, is this true, this Harry and Meghan?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: They're not coming back here, are they?
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit of a tease, but it's true.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: It is true. Let me explain. So Harry and Meghan
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: are coming back to the USA for the holidays, for Christmas.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: They left her mom behind. So when they first moved
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: to Britain all those years ago, six, seven years ago,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: her mom went with them. And they're very, very close
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: to Doria. And she did not want to return to
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Britain with them. And so I think part of their
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: deal of going back is that she'd get to see
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: the grandkids. At Christmas time, you know, families on different
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: coasts in different parts of the country, they get together
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: at Christmas. And so they are coming back at Christmas,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: which makes sense. because the royal family, they go to
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Balmoral or Sandringham at Christmas, and I don't think Harry
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: and Meghan are yet that welcome back in the family
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: to get an invite to that, and so they're not
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: going to be with the royals this year, maybe next year.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: So that's the real reason they're coming back, because it
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: would be embarrassing to be there and not be invited
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: to the royals.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: You'll get to the bottom of it, my friend. That's
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: basically what I'm trying to say. They are coming back.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: They'll be here for a couple of weeks, flying into
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: California into Montecito, where they've still kept their house. They
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: have not sold their house yet. And so this trip
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: to Britain, this relocation to Britain is still a test.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: It's a trial run. Until they sell that house, I
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: don't believe they are moving back full time, coming back
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: for Christmas, about two weeks, and then they will be
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: back in the UK.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Well, they couldn't get anything going here in the US
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Nobody was interested. They go
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to England, make a big production out of it. Have
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: they been offered anything over there?
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: No. No, nothing. It's a disaster. Nothing. What he's getting
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: over there, though, is he's treated like a prince. Here
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: in America, he was a prince. He was Diana's son.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: But Americans don't want kings. We got rid of our
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: British king a long time ago. And so they don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: really bow and scrape and defer to him as they
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: do in Britain. I'm British. The royal family over there...
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: is everything. And here in America, there's great respect for them,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: a lot of love for the royal family, particularly Queen Elizabeth.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: But I don't think he got the response he wanted
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: in L.A. He's back in Britain. He's going to charity events.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: He's putting on his medals and he is thoroughly enjoying
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: being treated like he is very special again. So he
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: likes it there. Meghan has yet to figure out her
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: role over there. She's got not much going on.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you a question. When they do
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: their income tax, on the first question, occupation, what do
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: they put?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: It's interesting. Harry was asked this question, not about his taxes,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: but he was asked, what do you do? What's on
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: your passport? And his first answer is he's a full-time dad.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: And his second answer, which is very telling, is he
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: is a prince of England. Do not forget. that from
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: the day this little guy was born, people bowed to him.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: When he was five years old, grown men, grown women
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: had to bow and curtsy. That changes the way you
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: live your life. He's a very entitled guy, and he
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: expects people to be very deferential towards him, and it
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: didn't happen here. It does happen in Britain. Oh, all right.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, Saturday Night Live, Dakota Johnson, the host, and Taylor
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Swift comes on. I mean, what is this relationship they
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have all of a sudden?
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, these two are the new best friends, and the
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: one that's really seething with jealousy is her old best friend,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Blake Lively. If you remember, Taylor got dragged into Blake
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Lively's lawsuit with Justin Baldoni, a sexual harassment, sexual lawsuit
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: that ultimately was settled but went away. But Taylor and...
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Blake fell out. It was a public falling out. Blake
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: was not invited to the wedding. They have not spoken
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: in a long time. And Taylor now has moved on.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: And her new best friend is Dakota Johnson. They have
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: been friends for a while, but now they are particularly close.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: And I'm assuming the reason is because Blake has gone.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Blake and Dakota never really got along that well. And
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: now that Blake's out of the picture... Taylor's there 24-7.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: So it does sting, doesn't it? It must really sting,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: because on Saturday night, Blake Lively was watching SNL, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: there was her former best friend who has clearly, clearly
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: moved on with someone new.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Wow. Rob Shooter, this can't be true. You're reporting that
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Lauren Sanchez pushing her husband... Jeff Bezos to run for president?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: That can't be.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: It sounds bizarre. But you know what? I heard 12
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: years ago that Donald Trump was thinking of running for
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: president and nobody believed it. Stranger things have happened. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: so Jeff Bezos has arguably started one of the most
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: successful companies of all time. He knows how to run Amazon.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Lauren is wildly ambitious. I've known her for about 20 years.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: She used to be the weekend host of a show
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: called Extra Extra, which is an entertainment show. And I
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: used to go to the set with clients and Lauren
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: was the host. And even back then, we knew she
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: was wildly ambitious, which is a good thing. I don't
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: think anybody knew she would end up marrying... one of
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: the richest men in the world. I spoke to some
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: of her friends and they said she has been around
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Trump and the White House a lot and it is intoxicating.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: She was at the inauguration. She was there a couple
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago for the big state dinner for China.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: And it is intoxicating. And Lauren has figured out that maybe, maybe,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: it sounds crazy, doesn't it? But maybe we could have
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: a President Bezos. He's certainly got enough money to run.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: He doesn't need to raise money. He knows how to
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: manage a big company. But she's the one that's pushing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that he's as interested in politics as
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: she is. And I'm not even sure she's that political.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: But she would love to be first, ladies.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're forgetting a big factor. Donald Trump, love
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: him or hate him, was an incredible talker. As a
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: talk show guest, he was the best. He had his
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: own TV show. He was an incredible speaker. He was
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: such an unbelievable person.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I'm with you. I'm with you. But you've met these
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: rich people. They think they are invincible. They think they
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: can do anything. And they have a level of confidence.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Jeff Bezos has a swagger about him. that a little
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: bald guy shouldn't have. Like, he just walks like he
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: is a king. And he's got billions of dollars to
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: back him up. So if he's got a wife who
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: is pushing him, and he does listen to Lauren, who knows?
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: You're right, there's a million reasons. There's nobody like Trump.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: There'll never, ever be another Trump in our lifetime. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: I do think people mistake that. And they think... If
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: he can do it, and he makes it look so effortless,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't he? He makes it look as if it's easy.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: It's not easy. It's really, really hard. But the impression
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: he gives is if I can do it, you can
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: do it. We know that's not true. I'm not sure
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Lauren Sanchez knows that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but remember Bloomberg, who's probably better qualified than Bezos
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to run. Bloomberg gets in the debate.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: And goes, and couldn't talk.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And Bezos is far worse. Bezos, you can't run and
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: talk like this. Somebody has to tell him.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Well, this all figures out in the wash, doesn't it?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Now we're at that really exciting time that now, with
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: a few years left of the Trump presidency, it's starting
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: to get interesting. Who will run? For a long time,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: The Rock talked about running the celebrity, the action hero.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think he will. Matthew McConaughey's name. has come up.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Trump has opened up politics in the most exciting way.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: And now instead of those old boring families, the Bushes
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: and the Clintons, who we've just had forever, the Kennedys,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: I think we might see some really exciting, some wacky,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: some odd, some maybe great. But I think over the
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: next couple of years, we're going to see a lot
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: of names thrown into that hat.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. Hey, before we run out
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of time, tell us about your YouTube channel.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, thank you.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Thank you, my friend. Yes, I started a YouTube channel.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Friends of mine have YouTube channels, and they are getting
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: millions and millions of viewers. Now, in Britain, the BBC
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: is no longer the number one network. YouTube is. Here
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: in America, YouTube now gets more viewers than ABC, CBS,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: and NBC combined. And the luxury of a YouTube channel...
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: is I can do it in my own living room.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: So a couple of weeks ago, I tested out a
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: morning show, 9 a.m. every morning, five days a week,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: 20 minutes of celebrity gossip. It's me at home. It's
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: me bare bones. It's me and a microphone and a camera,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: and we're having so much fun. And so if you're
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: on YouTube, check out Rob Schuster Gossip and subscribe, like,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: and each morning you'll get a little bit of your
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: celebrity news.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you can't do it in the morning, you
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: can just do it anytime. It's on all day, right?
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: You can do it anytime. It's wild, isn't it? Like,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I've changed. Like, I used to get up every morning
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: and watch the Today Show or GMA, and now my
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: life is different. I consume YouTube. I get a lot
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: of information from YouTube. More people are watching. Jimmy Fallon
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: on YouTube than they are on TV. YouTube is this
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: amazing place. Because now if you've got a voice, if
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: you want to do a show, you can do it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: It took me a little while to build up my courage.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: I don't want to do a show that's not very good.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: And so I did some practice runs. I met with
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: some producer friends of mine and polished it. And then
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: just a few days ago, we started and today was
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: sort of like our official launch. So check me out
• 32:10

  Speaker 1: Kelly every night at 6. The very funny Jimmy Fela

• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Well, hey, crazy Jack Smith, that bug-eyed weirdo prosecutor Jack Smith,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: testified in front of Congress that he's not a partisan,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: that he's totally neutral. He's not anti-Trump. There's nothing partisan.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And then look at this. Two days later, this weekend,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he's at a No Kings rally, big No Kings protest,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: wearing a No Kings t-shirt. And by the way, I've
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: never seen a guy look worse in a t-shirt. This
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: is not for you, Jack Smith, these t-shirts. It's like
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: a tight t-shirt. Looks even creepier in it. But there
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: he is with a No Kings t-shirt on. Why would
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you do that two days after you just testified under
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: oath that you're not a crazed partisan? Who knows with
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this guy? He's just one strange guy. Hey, Yankees tonight.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: The playoffs resume. Big game tonight. They absolutely have to
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: win tonight. They cannot fall two games behind and hope
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to win this series. That's tonight. And then Wednesday night
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: it moves back to Yankee Stadium. Give them a little advantage,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I guess. But they're up against the the best team
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: in baseball. It's going to be a beautiful day today. Bright,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: sunny day. It's going to be like this all week.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be warm. It's going to be fall-like.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: High will be about 70, and then the rest of
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the week it'll be in the 60s. But nothing but
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: sunshine for a week. There is no rain in the
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: forecast for two weeks. I have never seen that before.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Now remember, these forecasts can change. They're really only good
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: for about three days out. But Right now, no rain
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: in the forecast anywhere. Hey, we're out of time. I'll
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. Don't forget, it's three hours every day,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: 9 to noon. See you tomorrow at 9, right here
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
